Chapter 380: Ancient Dimension, Cannon Fodder Jin 8, Whose Marriage Was Snatched Away by His Cousin
Miaomiao said this calmly, but Shishu widened her eyes and looked incredulous after hearing it.
Obviously, she hadn't expected her cousin to do this suddenly, so she couldn't maintain her originally pitiful look.
Miaomiao felt a little more comfortable.
At this time, the properties left by Shu's parents were not only located in a remote area, but the managers and accountants were all from the clansmen on Shi Shu's father's side, and each of them was old-fashioned and greedy.
Shi Shu's parents' business was not doing well in itself. If it weren't for the Shi family's help in maintaining it over the years, it would have collapsed long ago.
But even so, a lot of silver and money were added into it to preserve this property.
And her noble cousin, who doesn't run the household, doesn't know how expensive food, oil, salt and firewood are, or maybe she's pretending to be ignorant even though she knows the truth.
In short, she always seemed to feel at ease when taking the Shi family's money, and even seemed to think that the Shi family had embezzled her property.
In Shi Shu's past life, the original owner was soft-hearted and had always been responsible for her work, so it was a thankless task. Why?
Shi Shu opened her mouth and wanted to say something to refuse, but she was afraid that Miaomiao would think she was being hypocritical. Moreover, it was undeniable that she still had some deep thoughts about her own business.
I always feel that if I can get my own property back, I won't have to ask for money, let alone this little bit of silver.
"Sister, this... I'm a little worried that I won't be able to manage it well and will let my parents down."
As Shi Shushu spoke, she used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, which had no tears at all, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
"It's nothing. After all, it's not the Shi family's property."
Miaomiao shrugged, and seeing that she wanted to perform more, she yawned and motioned her to leave.
Shi Shu didn't care about these things at all. Instead, she was happy because she was about to take charge of her own business.
After everyone in the room had left and the maid had returned to the ear room, Baobao spoke curiously.
"No, aren't you going to punish her? Look how happy she is."
Baobao doesn't understand human emotions and has only a vague understanding of Miaomiao's operations.
“…It was just a quick wit. When I spoke, I forgot to find someone to imitate my parents’ handwriting.
If I don't have a good reason to ask someone to change their last name, they'll probably think I'm crazy, and it'll be harder to change it.
Then I remembered that the industry that made me dizzy just now belonged to an ungrateful person, so I just gave it to her.
Evildoers will be punished by evildoers. Those people are just being managed by our family on behalf of us. If they don’t obey our orders, then we should return their ownership to them.
When the time comes, find someone to give some money to a few clan members in charge, and ask them to persuade Shi Shu to change her surname. It's not difficult.
This needs to be done with great fanfare.”
Miaomiao proudly puffed out her big chest, and her figure looked even more graceful in the candlelight.
The candlelight flickered gently, highlighting her fair skin, beautiful face, red lips and white teeth, like a gorgeous peony blooming in the dark night.
"You must remember to remind the accountant tomorrow not to give money to the ungrateful person anymore."
The next day, the morning light shone through the carved window lattice, casting patches of light on Miaomiao's bed.
Miaomiao was awakened by the sunlight, her mind still a little groggy. But when the maid reminded her that her cousin had been waiting outside the door for a long time, she suddenly woke up.
After calling the maid to help her wash and dress, Miaomiao had breakfast before returning to her room and finding the account books of the Bi family over the years at the desk.
After all, it is not their own property, so there is a separate storage place, and everything is arranged in chronological order. Even the money that the Shi family has invested in this property is clearly written.
Miaomiao did not rush to give it to Shishu directly, but called Cuihuan again, gave her a bag of change, and asked her to find one or two greedy and capable managers of the Bi family's businesses.
Although Cuihuan didn't know why the young lady suddenly made up her mind, she was excited in her heart. She had always disliked her cousin, especially after the master and the mistress passed away, her cousin's actions were really like an ungrateful person.
After Cuihuan left, Miaomiao asked someone to call Shishu and asked her to take the account book back to her own courtyard.
Originally, Shi Shu wanted to ask her cousin to accompany her to visit the property, but she never expected that as soon as she arrived at the inner room, she heard the voice of an outsider outside, saying that someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was ordered to bring Miss Shi back to the palace for questioning.
Shi Shu was a little frightened, and didn't even stay to ask anything. She just took the maid and left with the account book. She left so cleanly and neatly, without looking weak at all.
It’s Miaomiao, but she didn’t know that the original owner had such an experience?
But since we are here, we should make the best of it. The Shi family shouldn’t be in any big trouble right now.
Miaomiao calmly followed the people from the Imperial Household Department and left. Halfway through, she realized that they were going to the Imperial Household Department.
What is the Imperial Household Department? It is a place managed by the emperor's confidants, so someone like Prince Zhao has no way of interfering in it.
"Baobao, do you think I can directly ask the head of the Imperial Household Department if I can see the Emperor?"
Baobao was chirping as usual, but this time Baobao did not show up.
Just as Miaomiao was speaking, a few huge words flashed through her mind.
"The overall system is undergoing training. Do not disturb."
After sensing the powerful pressure, Baobao locked himself up on his own accord.
Unexpectedly, we met the next day, still less than a week...
At this time, Miaomiao just thought that Baobao was really summoned away temporarily, but it didn't matter. Anyway, she was very lucky and she would definitely be able to meet His Majesty the Emperor this time.
Miaomiao was wearing a plain dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her movements. Although the color of the dress was extremely plain, it made Miaomiao's red lips and white teeth look even more beautiful and charming.
She just stood there, like a peony blooming on the white paper in spring, not even slightly concealed by her plain clothes.
At this time, Xiao Jingyuan was standing at the bridge not far away. He had just come to the Imperial Household Department on a whim, but now, seeing the graceful and beautiful girl walking towards him, he unconsciously quickened his pace.
Xiao Jingyuan felt that the moment he saw her, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The "thumping" sound of his heartbeat seemed to drown out all the sounds around him, and kept echoing in his ears.
He had never felt this way before. In the past, when faced with those beautiful women, whether they were recommended by the concubines in the palace, or those who intended to climb into his bed or even the daughters of ministers, he kept his distance from them. He had never felt this way before.
