Shang Wenqi's words left the people from the Ministry of Justice speechless, but that was not the end. Shang Wenqi even took a step forward and looked at the newcomer with a smile on his face.

"If you, the Qingshi Division of the Ministry of Justice, are not able to do it, Qingyun Zuoqi doesn't mind doing it for you. We have more people anyway, so we don't mind taking on another part of your work."

"Since Lord Shang is determined to do what he wants, we can only tell Shang Feng the truth."

Shang Wenqi didn't say anything at all, he just raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation to him.

The people from the Ministry of Justice were immediately enraged and left in anger.

"Boss, we have offended them..."

"Oh, you're just a clown. Keep doing your work."

"Yes!"

After Shang Wenqi finished explaining everything, he walked towards the backyard and ended up meeting Ning Ning.

At that time, Ning Ning cleverly picked up the broom next to her and pretended to be a maid sweeping the floor.

There was no way. Although she had just happened to come across the excitement, eavesdropping was the most taboo in ancient times. God knew whether Shang Wenqi would take advantage of the situation to scold her again.

Avoiding the sharp edge is the best option.

Unexpectedly, Shang Wenqi walked towards her accurately as if he had a radar.

"Don't pretend that there are no servants in the Imperial Guard House."

“……”This is embarrassing.

Ning Ning silently dropped the broom in her hand, resigned herself to her fate and looked up.

Shang Wenqi took a look at her and saw that her skin had become dull and rough due to something she had used on it. Her face also looked a bit older and even had realistic spots. If she really walked in the market, even he might not be able to recognize her.

This disguise technique is even better than Song Sijing's.

Shang Wenqi was a little surprised. Before he could speak, Song Sijing, who had followed him, rushed over in surprise.

"Oh my goodness, you are so amazing! Oh my god, how did you do this makeup? It's amazing!

Your skills are not inferior to mine at all, and I was just showing off my skills yesterday! I am so ashamed.

You have so many tools, so your disguise skills must be pretty good, but I was just too conceited... I didn't think about it at all!"

"Uh... this is just... a little thing I made when I was bored and studying in my boudoir all year round. It's still nothing compared to you."

"No, no, no, my sleight of hand can only fool people from a distance, but yours is so amazing that it's really admirable."

Ning Ning smiled. In fact, she was just benefiting from the advanced technology of later generations. Old age makeup, childish makeup, internet celebrity makeup, it was very simple.

But she doesn't know how to disguise herself like the ancients did. All I can say is that everyone has their own strengths.

"No, Miss Ning, can you..."

Before Song Sijing finished saying "teach me", Shang Wenqi grabbed Ning Ning's hand and took her away.

"Hey? Where are you going, Aqi?" Song Sijing was planning to follow.

Shang Wenqi only left two words: "Do business."

As soon as these words came out, Song Sijing stopped walking tactfully: "Well...Okay, I'll wait here for you to come back."

The guards beside him couldn't help but feel a headache: "Song Tou'er, it's your turn to take over the duty today. If you don't go, Lin Tou will be angry."

"I am going to hand over my duties to that guy Lin Chen?"

"Yes."

"Tsk, what are you waiting for? Let's go. Lin Chen is a bad guy when he's angry."

As he spoke, Song Sijing no longer cared about Ning Ning who was leaving, and he hurried towards the door.

On the other side, Shang Wenqi took Ning Ning into the carriage again.

"Where are we going?" Ning Ning wondered.

Shang Wenqi didn't say anything, but the carriage outside was already moving.

Ning Ning couldn't guess what Shang Wenqi was thinking, so in order to avoid being a cannon fodder, she decided to respond with silence.

Anyway, she can't control the itinerary, so she'll just let things take their course.

After a while, Shang Wenqi took her to a jewelry store. The store was much larger than the ones she had visited before, and it had all kinds of jewelry.

More importantly, as soon as the shopkeeper saw Shang Wenqi appear, he immediately and respectfully invited him to the private room and placed tea and pastries on the table exquisitely.

Ning Ning was just feeling confused when the shopkeeper respectfully bowed to Shang Wenqi and said, "I didn't know you were coming today. I will bring you the account book now so you can check it."

"Yeah." Shang Wenqi nodded lightly.

The shopkeeper left respectfully.

Ning Ning looked at Shang Wenqi in astonishment. Goodness, I never knew he was a gold shop owner! Look at the gold and silver jewelry here, at least several hundred kilograms, right? If you add the ones in the production chain, at least a thousand kilograms!

Ning Ning seemed to see hope of connecting the system to the mall.

Just when Ning Ning was excited, Shang Wenqi also spoke up: "As long as you give me the Europa painting skills, this shop will be yours."

"!!!" Ning Ning's eyes widened: "You...are you serious?"

Do you really want to give her this enormous wealth?

Could it be that he disappeared last night just to go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for instructions?

“Is this something the saint gave me?”

Shang Wenqi curled his lips and said, "It's just a small matter, there's no need to alarm the saint."

Ning Ning blinked her eyes. Does that mean this is Shang Wenqi’s personal property?

"You won't ask for it back someday, will you?"

Shang Wenqi: "Am I such a person?"

"That's hard to say. After all, this isn't a bun shop or a pancake shop, it's a gold shop! Let alone other things, the things in this shop alone are worth a lot of money."

"As long as you know."

As he was speaking, the shopkeeper came over with a thick account book.

"Boss, you haven't been here for more than half a year, but don't worry, the accounts are all clear. I have been helping you take care of them."

The shopkeeper was not seeking credit, he was just worried that Shang Wenqi would be worried.

Shang Wenqi didn't even look at the account books, but reached out and pushed the account books to Ning Ning's side.

"From now on, this shop will be owned by her. You can just report to her from now on."

"?" The shopkeeper then looked straight at the old woman next to Shang Wenqi.

When they came in together just now, the shopkeeper thought that they were the capable servants of the boss. Since they all served the boss, he didn't take it too seriously.

It turns out that this woman is actually a noble person?

The shopkeeper was very considerate and immediately bowed respectfully to Ning Ning.

"I am the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion. Happy New Year and meet the new owner."

Ning Ning looked at Shang Wenqi in disbelief, unable to react to this sudden wealth.

Shang Wenqi also looked at her, as if to say, it’s up to you whether to do it or not, if you miss this opportunity, you’d better think it over carefully.

Ning Ning shed tears in her heart. She had to say that Shang Wenqi really had a good grasp of people's hearts!

If this was any other shop besides a gold shop, she would not be tempted, but this is a gold shop! She doesn't care whether the business is good or not, she only wants the gold inside, and even the source of goods behind the shop!

Ning Ning took the account book without hesitation: "Manager He, happy cooperation in the future!"

Manager He was stunned. He didn't expect that this maid looked old but had such a young voice.
