The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 17 Still want to coax
As if she had been pricked by a needle, Aunt Liu took back her hand and said with a smile: "Who did you kid listen to nonsense? Where could I, an aunt, get such things? Besides, I've heard that you That broken mountain cost hundreds of taels of silver, and your second sister and third sister together are not as rich as you alone."

Zuo Xiangning stretched out four fingers and said with a sense of pride: "Yes, it cost 400 taels of silver."

"You bought a broken mountain with 400 taels? There is no profit at all in the whole year, and you still have to borrow money." When Aunt Liu heard about 400 taels of silver, her heart ached. It was as much as the income of her silk shop in two years, and she couldn't help but said anxiously : "Sell the mountain quickly and leave the money with my aunt. I promise to earn you 30 taels of silver a year."

Zuo Xiangning almost sneered. Does Aunt Liu think she is a five-year-old child?

"By the way, I almost forgot if my aunt didn't mention it. I have deposited it with my aunt over the years. I should have two or three hundred taels of silver, right? I am in urgent need of silver now, and my aunt has to return the money quickly in the next two days. Me." Zuo Xiangning said with a bitter face.

Aunt Liu looked at Zuo Xiangning and smiled awkwardly: "I have bought you a lot of things over the years, how can I still save money?"

"That's not what my aunt said at the beginning. Besides, Pan Cui is keeping all the things you bought. I don't think she can even use ten taels of silver." Zuo Xiangning asked pitifully with red eyes. Said: "Auntie, isn't it possible that I gave my eldest sister all my money as a dowry?"

Pan Xia supported Zuo Xiangning's arm and said at the right time: "When you asked Aunt Liu to help save the money, many people were watching."

Aunt Liu was so angry that her heart ached.

In order to gain a good reputation for herself, she wanted to let everyone know that Zuo Xiangning was close to her, but who would have thought that it would now become a trap for herself.

If word gets out that Zuo Xiangyun's dowry is her sister's money, not to mention Zuo Xiangyun's shamelessness, even the old lady Zuo can eat her alive.

"Look at you kid, can my aunt still be greedy for your money?" Aunt Liu hurriedly pulled her back, "I haven't touched any of your money, I've kept it all for you. I'll give it to you later." Someone will send it to you."

"Auntie, you don't need to pay more, just 300 taels." The sadness on Zuo Xiangning's face suddenly disappeared, and she said with a bright smile: "There is a hot spring on the mountain where I bought it. When the house is built, you can also stay there for [-] taels." God. How about you also buy one for my third sister?"

"Your third sister doesn't have that spare money." Aunt Liu wanted to trick Zuo Xiangning into giving her some money, but she didn't expect that she would have to take out 300 taels in return. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Zuo Xiangning looked at Aunt Liu walking away with her butt twisted, and spat at her back.

This woman was shameless to the extreme. Ever since she could remember, Aunt Liu and Zuo Xiangyu had come to her and lied to her a lot. Now she wanted them to spit out everything they took to her bit by bit!
Zuo Xiangning went to Fanghuayuan in the evening.

Entering the yard, I saw the door was closed, and Luping and Zixia were standing on the porch outside the door.

Lu Ping saw Zuo Xiangning first and called out crisply, "The fourth girl is here" before going down the steps to greet Zuo Xiangning.

Zuo Xiangning saw Zixia walking to the door and knocked on the door twice.

Zuo Xiangning knew it was inconvenient for her to go in directly.

She stopped and stood in the middle of the yard waiting.

Cai's mother opened the door from the room. Zixia lifted the door curtain, smiled at Zuo Xiangning and said, "Madam is waiting for you in the room."

Zuo Xiangning walked into the house with a smile. Panxia was pulled down by Zixia and left outside the door. The door was gently closed again.

Mother Cai helped Zuo Xiangning into the inner room and saw Jiang leaning on the bedside with an ugly expression.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Zuo Xiangning sat by the bed and looked worriedly at the ugly-faced Jiang, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Have you called a doctor?"

"It's okay, I just feel a little stuffy." Jiang punched her chest twice and whispered, "Mother Cai went out to check the accounts with her nephew Mingwang today. Guess what?"

"The accounts are all wrong?" Zuo Xiangning had expected this.

"Isn't that true?" Jiang said angrily: "He is the one I trust the most, and he actually played tricks on my account! If Mingwang hadn't been careful, he wouldn't have noticed it at all!"

Zuo Xiangning stuffed a pillow behind Jiang and asked in a low voice, "Then what are you going to do now?"

"Mother Cai and I have been working together for a long time, but we haven't come up with a good idea," Jiang said with a headache: "My dowry contains a lot of properties, and your father and the old lady don't know about it. If I suddenly remove the housekeeper now, He might do something. Moreover, he has stolen so much money from me over the years, and I am not willing to let him get it for free!" Zuo Xiangning looked at Cai's mother and asked, "I remember Mingwang It seems that the eldest brother has only been the accountant for a year, right? How is he doing now? Can he stand alone? "

"Girl, just call him Mingwang, but don't call him brother, as it would be inappropriate for others to hear." Cai's mother reminded him in a low voice from the side.

"Mother Cai is right, just call him Mingwang," Jiang said in a clear tone: "Mingwang and his younger brother Mingming are both smart. The year before last, I arranged for them to be the two people under my name. In the shop, I originally planned to let Mingliang be the shopkeeper next spring, and let Mingwang come to the house to help the housekeeper with things."

Zuo Xiangning thought for a moment and said, "Do you think this is okay? Just tell me that Wang Wang and Mingliang are prepared for me, and let him learn management from the housekeeper first, and then find someone to buy in a group of maids and let Cai Mom and Zixia will discipline her. The housekeepers in the house will be kicked out little by little. When all the people in charge have been replaced, we will take care of the housekeepers."

Jiang's expression relaxed, "Yes, anyway, the housekeeper also knows that I have found a house for you and built a house for you. Even if I find two more stewards for you, he won't be surprised."

Mother Cai smiled and said, "We four girls have grown up and think carefully about things."

Mr. Jiang sat up from the bed, lifted the quilt, and said energetically: "Let people serve food. After eating, I will have the strength to fight them to the end!"

"We have my eldest brother and my eldest sister as our backers, who are we afraid of?" Zuo Xiangning smiled and helped Jiang get dressed.

What she fears most is that the Jiang family will never recover after a fall.

"I'm just angry in my heart. I let him fool me under my nose. They don't know how to laugh at me behind my back!" Jiang said bitterly: "You wait until I clean up everyone in the house. You See if I don’t give her all her private property!”

"Yes! Look how much money she can use to win people's hearts. It's so annoying to wear rouge and powder every day!" Zuo Xiangning said with the same hatred.

Jiang smiled and touched her hair, "You kid!"

After Zuo Xiangning finished her meal from Jiang's place, when she left Fanghuayuan, she quietly asked Cai's mother who escorted her out, "Why haven't you seen your father in the past two days?"

"I left the capital yesterday for Yangzhou and won't be able to come back until two months later." Cai's mother whispered, "You're leaving just in time."

Zuo Xiangning returned to Xianglanzhai, took a bath, and lay on the soft quilt. Suddenly she thought of the way Gu Zhiqing looked at her today.

The cold feeling made her hair stand on end just thinking about it.

She secretly hated herself for not living up to expectations. Why was she so frightened when she saw him?
I dared to kill him in my previous life, so what is there to be afraid of in this life?

After the house is built and the gold mine becomes profitable, more manpower must be prepared to avoid being unable to do anything.

She also wanted to arrange a few people with strong martial arts skills around her. When she saw Gu Zhiqing alone again, she would beat him to death or simply kill him to avoid future troubles.

Zuo Xiangning thought wildly and fell asleep in a daze.

In the middle of the night, she suddenly heard a "click" sound from the north window outside.

She hurriedly opened her eyes, sat up and stretched her neck to listen.

It was quiet outside, there was no sound at all.

She thought she had heard wrongly, and just as she was about to lie down, she noticed a dark shadow outside the bed curtain.

Zuo Xiangning was so frightened that she almost screamed.

It was Gu Zhiqing who caught her!
