Chapter 152 Yu Han changes her name to Gu Yifan and goes to work at the rice shop to search for clue
Yang Yuhan told the original owner's brother about the murder of the original owner's master and mistress. They set up the mourning hall in the living room of the original bedroom in the east courtyard of the master and mistress's house!
Upon hearing this, the eldest young master was struck dumb. He ran straight to the master and mistress's room like a madman, and then he began to repent for his mischievousness and cynicism!
Yang Yuhan decided to immediately go to work at the rice shop as the head manager. By getting close to the rice business herself, even though she didn't understand the rice business, she had the rich social experience from her previous life, as well as the help of her dream space and other "golden fingers" and her own efforts. She was sure that she could make the rice business flourish!
The key is to expose the person behind the scenes who framed the master and mistress!
The next day, the eldest young master left. Yu Han saw Gu Yiming off as he went abroad to study rice business management. This trip would take at least three years. During those three years, all affairs of the Gu family would be managed by Yang Yu Han, the imposter eldest daughter.
In fact, during the Republican era, it was rare for girls to show their faces in public. Since Yang Yuhan was taking office at the rice shop the next day, she had to use the original owner's real name, Gu Yifan.
Then, the next day, Yang Yumei put on the clothes that the original owner usually wore when going out, which were from her wardrobe, and disguised herself as a man.
Last night, she looked through the original owner's wardrobe, which contained a large number of summer dresses and other beautiful clothes belonging to wealthy young ladies.
She also discovered a row of boys dressed in Republic-era clothing and top hats.
The shoe cabinet contains many black and white stiletto heels, sandals, and boys' black and white cotton-padded leather shoes.
She did indeed ask the maid Wang Huanhuan. According to her description of Miss Gu before her death, Miss Gu would deliberately dress up as a man before going out, such as when she went to her family's rice shops or other places, she would wear clothes that she had prepared in advance in her wardrobe.
These outfits were not requested by Mr. Gu and his wife, but rather were her own natural preferences!
After disguising herself as a man, Yang Yuhan headed towards the rice shop. Along the way, she saw the cries of street vendors rising and falling, and felt a sense of nostalgia for the vibrant life of the time. Upon arriving at the rice shop, the employees greeted their "young master" with respectful bows.
Yang Yuhan entered the rice shop and began examining the ledgers. The densely packed data in the ledgers gave her a headache, but thanks to the abilities of her Dream Space, she gradually pieced things together. She discovered some suspicious entries, suggesting that someone was secretly transferring funds.
Just as she was digging deeper into her investigation, a richly dressed middle-aged man walked in, his eyes filled with hostility. This man was the rival who had been eyeing the Gu family's rice business.
He sneered, "Miss Gu is actually pretending to be a man? Is it because the Gu family has no one else and needs to rely on a girl to save face?" The middle-aged man said in a sarcastic tone.
Yang Yuhan raised her head, her gaze firm: "Although I am a woman, I am more than capable of managing the affairs of the Mi family. It is you who have barged in without reason, I'm afraid you have ulterior motives."
The middle-aged man sneered, "You? Judging from your inexperience, you probably can't even understand these ledgers. This Gu Family Rice Shop will fall into my hands sooner or later."
Yang Yuhan smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true." As she spoke, she took out a few pages of account books and threw them on the table. "Your methods of secretly transferring funds are not very sophisticated."
The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he became furious: "What do you know, you little brat!" He then tried to snatch the account book.
At this moment, several loyal employees of the rice shop surrounded Yang Yuhan and protected her.
Yang Yuhan said calmly, "If you dare to act recklessly today, I will definitely make this public, and then you will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the business world."
Yang Yuhan took a deep breath, knowing that she would face more challenges in the future, but she was determined to protect the Gu family rice shop and find out the murderer behind the killing of the master and mistress.
The middle-aged man glared at her fiercely and said harshly, "Young lady Gu is managing the rice shop in men's clothing. She really has no regard for a woman's dignity."
Yang Yuhan coldly replied, "I will not let such villains succeed once I take over the rice business."
The other party snorted coldly and left.
Yang Yuhan clenched her fists, her determination to expose the mastermind behind it all growing stronger. She knew the road ahead would be fraught with difficulties, but she would not back down.
She later learned that the man was Wang Yang, the eldest son of the old man named Wang Dahai, who had a business dispute with a fellow merchant during the time the master was running a rice business.
Then she began to keep an eye on this person. It would be best to continue the rice business cooperation with the Wang family so that she could get close to them and obtain the most favorable evidence. Only after obtaining the evidence from the Wang family patriarch could she finally find out who the murderer was who framed the original owner's family.
She also secretly investigated the Gu family's total accounts in the rice industry.
She found the person who had managed the accounts before the master's death. It turned out that the person who had managed the accounts had disappeared into thin air the day after the master's death. This person was a young girl named Hu Luna, who was twenty-six years old.
Yu Han found her place, but she remained silent. She stayed outside the door, trying to find a way to get closer to her.
Then Yang Yuhan began to investigate Hu Luna in depth.
On this day, Yang Yuhan also changed into men's clothing, and brought along her maid Wang Huanhuan, dressing Wang Huanhuan in the same men's clothing that the original owner had worn in her previous life.
Then, the two, disguised as master and servant, quietly lay in ambush somewhere outside Hu Luna's residence.
The two waited for more than half an hour, and then saw Hu Luna dressed very fashionably, carrying a designer black bag as she walked over.
She walked a short distance, and the two hurriedly followed her from a distance of about fifty meters, dodging and following her at the same time.
They noticed that Hu Luna was acting suspiciously by herself, walking hurriedly while glancing back every now and then.
Then Yang Yuhan and Wang Huanhuan hurriedly hid behind the sycamore trees on both sides of the granite road.
A moment later, the two followed for a short distance and then saw Hu Luna walk into a house with a sign that read "Tianshun Rice Shop".
The two followed closely behind and entered the front hall of "Tianshun Rice Shop" under the pretense of buying rice.
The two saw Hu Luna quickly walk into the inner room behind the hall.
Then the two saw Hu Luna holding hands with a man and walking happily into a small room. The two immediately lowered their heads to select rice.
Yu Han could see clearly that this man was none other than Wang Yang, the eldest son of the Wang family, who had met Yang Yu Han a few days ago when she personally visited Gu Family Rice Industry. He was a business associate who had previously had a business dispute with Master Gu.
"I wonder what the relationship is between these two?" Yu Han asked Wang Huanhuan in a low voice, but Wang Huanhuan just shook her head.
