Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

Chapter 48 I'll Stop Being Angry

Su Mowan dismissed the two shopkeepers first, leaving Shopkeeper Li behind. She explained her thoughts to him and then waved for him to leave as well.

Yinshuang, standing to one side, slightly furrowed her brows.

"Consort Su, why are you treating Manager Li this way?"

Su Mowan picked up the tea in front of her, took a sip, and smacked her lips, saying, "Although the quantity is correct, it's hard to say whether the price is fake. This move may not make Manager Li completely honest, but it can still make him a little more honest."

To put it bluntly, Su Mowan was using 'commission' to entice Manager Li.

The more he sells, the more money Manager Li earns each month.

Yinshuang understood this point and secretly admired him.

Of course, today's event must be reported to Murong Jing.

Even Feng Yue was taken aback when he heard this, "Twelve hundred taels?!"

Yinshuang nodded and added, "This only applies to restaurants and clothing stores; Consort Su did not specify the amount for jewelry stores."

Murong Jing remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he was surprised. He had only given her something to do, yet she had done it so well…

Seeing that her master remained silent, Yinshuang repeated Su Mowan's instructions to the shopkeepers. Feng Yue's mouth gaped wider and wider as he listened, and he finally exclaimed, "Consort Su is truly a shrewd businesswoman!"

After marveling at his master's unfriendly gaze, Feng Yue quickly coughed and said, "What I meant was that Consort Su has a lot of ideas."

Murong Jing commented, "A bit of cleverness!"

After Yinshuang left, Feng Yue whispered, "Master, we've found some clues about what happened that day. It turns out that Prime Minister Shen was indeed involved."

Murong Jing was not surprised at all; he had expected it.

Seeing his master's calm expression, Feng Yue hesitated for a moment before saying, "It is true that Consort Su knew the courtesan and dancer hired by Wan Hua Lou. The two had a close relationship. Consort Su did go to see that courtesan that night."

Murong Jing said coldly, "Doesn't that woman need to entertain guests?"

"Ahem," Feng Yue coughed lightly and lowered his voice, "That guest is His Highness Prince Jin."

Feng Yue thought his master's expression would be even worse upon hearing that his brother was in a brothel, but he found that his master actually breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't understand that.

-

Su Mowan's peaceful days are coming to an end, because Shen Muyue from the East Courtyard is causing trouble again.

Qinghe frowned.

"Consort Su, we clearly didn't receive this much in monthly allowances, so why did the accountant record so much?"

Su Mowan smiled.

Clearly, this is related to Shen Muyue, but since it's written in black and white, she can only suffer in silence.

"Go and tell the accountant that we don't need to allocate monthly allowances to Huangfeng Garden anymore."

Qinghe's eyes widened in disbelief: "How can this be? The kitchen cooks according to the monthly allowance for our courtyard!"

Su Mowan stretched and exhaled a breath of stale air. She turned back to Qinghe and smiled smugly: "We have our own money, so we don't need to put up with that jerk. Let's see how Shen Muyue tries to frame me!"

Qinghe also knew that the three shops managed by Consort Su had recently made money, but wouldn't that money eventually have to be handed over to the accountant?

Su Mowan knew what she was thinking, and immediately curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

"It's my own money, so of course I should manage it myself. How could I let Shen Muyue take advantage of it?"

That very evening, Su Mowan told Steward Luo that she would be cooking for herself from now on, and the money wouldn't need to come from the accounting office. Steward Luo, knowing about Consort Shen's antics, immediately looked troubled.

Su Mowan waved her hand: "Steward Luo, there's no need to make things difficult. I've already spoken to the Prince."

Butler Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief and left.

Actually, Su Mowan hadn't mentioned it to Murong Jing yet, so she went to Fenghua Palace immediately after Butler Luo left.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the Fenghua Palace, they encountered their nemesis again.

Shen Muyue was blocked at the door as usual, and she kept pestering Feng Yue, making Feng Yue very frustrated.

So when Su Mowan arrived, Feng Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Muyue naturally saw her too, and immediately forced a smile: "It's been a long time since I've seen Sister Su. You must be very busy lately, Sister. You look like you've lost a lot of weight!"

Su Mowan paused slightly.

She glanced to the side and said, "He is quite busy, not as free as Consort Shen."

Shen Muyue gritted her teeth and glared, but because Feng Yue was there, she still managed to be polite and said, "Not at all, not at all. Sister Su is busy, and so am I! I just discovered some problems with the accounts, so I came to ask Your Highness about it."

"what?"

Su Mowan said with a smile, "Since His Highness has entrusted such an important matter to Consort Shen, Consort Shen should do her best to handle it well. If she can't even handle this little thing, shouldn't we replace her?"

"you!"

Shen Muyue was speechless and glared at him angrily, saying, "Well, since Sister Su is here, let her explain what happened!"

Su Mowan was too lazy to argue with her: "I don't have time to explain. I have important matters to discuss with the Prince, so I won't accompany Consort Shen to enjoy the breeze."

After saying that, she went into the Fenghua Palace on her own.

Seeing that she entered Fenghua Palace without any hindrance, Shen Muyue glared at Feng Yue: "Commander Feng, what's going on? Didn't you say that the Prince was dealing with important matters and couldn't see anyone? How did she get in!"

Feng Yue smiled and said, "Consort Su was invited by the Prince."

This was the first time Feng Yue had ever blatantly lied.

However, based on his observation, whenever Consort Su came over, it was most likely at the prince's behest.

Su Mowan strode off and went straight to the study.

This was the first time she had come uninvited and went straight to the study, so Murong Jing was taken aback when he heard her voice.

After a while, a soft voice came from inside: "Come in."

Su Mowan gently pushed open the half-closed door. Murong Jing was writing something on the desk, his fair and slender fingers holding a calligraphy brush, which was surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

"Your Highness, I have something to tell you."

Murong Jing stopped writing and looked at her.

"What's the matter?"

After careful consideration, Su Mowan slowly said, "The household treasury will no longer be responsible for the food, clothing, and daily necessities of Huangfeng Garden."

Murong Jing was slightly surprised.

Before he could speak, Su Mowan continued, "However, I will keep the money earned from the shops I manage now, and I will not put it into the mansion's treasury."

Murong Jing narrowed his eyes: "Are you here to inform me, or to discuss something?"

Su Mowan blinked innocently and asked him, "Since Your Highness has entrusted the shop to me, can't I use the money I make myself?"

She's gone to so much trouble to come up with a solution, there should be some benefit to it!

Murong Jing remained expressionless for a long while before saying, "Since that's how it is, then so be it."

Before Su Mowan could even smile, he said casually, "Come to Fenghua Palace tonight."

Su Mowan was so happy that she didn't notice Murong Jing's slightly reddened ears, and immediately said, "No problem! I can come every day!"
