Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 41 Turmoil in the Marquis's Mansion

Looking at the chaotic situation, Su Jinxiu knew that the most urgent task was to stabilize people's hearts.

She summoned all the servants of the Marquis's mansion and stood in the main hall, saying solemnly, "Everyone, don't panic. The Marquis's mansion will not collapse because of Su Yue's mistake alone. As long as we work together, we will definitely overcome this difficulty."

However, the servants' faces were still filled with worry and fear.

"Miss, what should we do? The reputation of the Marquis's mansion has been ruined by the Second Miss," a maid whispered.

Su Jinxiu took a deep breath: "Don't worry, everyone, I will handle everything. From today onwards, everyone should perform their duties diligently and not slack off. Anyone found spreading rumors will be severely punished!"

Although Su Jinxiu's words were stern, they did calm the servants down a bit.

However, the Marquis's business was severely affected. Merchants who cooperated with the Marquis's family demanded to terminate their contracts, plunging the family's businesses into difficulties.

Su Jinxiu personally negotiated with various businesses in an attempt to salvage the situation.

"Gentlemen, the Marquis's Mansion has always operated with integrity. This was just an accident. I hope you will give the Marquis's Mansion another chance, considering our past relationship." Su Jinxiu spoke earnestly.

Some businesses were moved by her sincerity and decided to wait and see; but others were determined to terminate their contracts.

Su Jinxiu felt immense pressure, but she did not give up.

Meanwhile, some conflicts arose within the Marquis's household. Some relatives from collateral branches began to question Su Jinxiu's management, believing that she was too young and unable to lead the household out of its predicament.

"Su Jinxiu, what skills could a little girl like you possibly have?" an elder said bluntly.

Su Jinxiu responded with neither humility nor arrogance: "Uncle, although I am young, I will do my best to protect the Marquis's mansion. Please believe me."

In order to restore the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion, Su Jinxiu decided to hold a grand charity event, inviting prominent noble families in the capital to participate, to demonstrate the Marquis's Mansion's sincerity and strength.

However, various problems arose during the preparation for the event. Shortages of supplies, insufficient manpower, and venue occupation caused Su Jinxiu a great deal of trouble.

"Miss, what should we do? The event date is approaching, and there are still so many things that haven't been prepared." Xiao Cui was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.

Su Jinxiu gritted her teeth: "No matter what, the event must be held as scheduled. We'll work overtime to get things done."

Under Su Jinxiu's leadership, everyone in the Marquis's mansion worked together and finally got everything ready on the eve of the event.

On the day of the event, prominent nobles from the capital flocked to the event. Su Jinxiu meticulously arranged various programs and displays, giving everyone a new understanding of the Marquis's residence.

"I never expected that the Marquis's residence could hold such a wonderful event under such difficult circumstances."

"It seems that Miss Su Jinxiu is indeed capable."

Hearing these praises, Su Jinxiu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But just as the event was about to come to a successful close, another unexpected incident occurred.

A sudden fire broke out in the Marquis's warehouse, and the fire spread rapidly.

"Oh no, there's a fire!"

Everyone was in a panic.

Su Jinxiu immediately organized people to put out the fire, and Xiao Ling also led soldiers to help.

After much effort, the fire was finally extinguished, but the Marquis's residence suffered heavy losses.

Looking at the messy warehouse, Su Jinxiu felt exhausted and helpless.

"Is the Marquis's mansion truly unable to escape this disaster?" she couldn't help but ask herself.

But she knew she couldn't just give up; she had to pull herself together.

During this difficult time, Xiao Ling stayed by her side, offering her support and encouragement.

"Jinxiu, don't give up. I believe you can make the Marquis's mansion rise again," Xiao Ling said.

Su Jinxiu nodded: "With you here, I won't give up."

However, what they didn't know was that behind all of this lay a deeper conspiracy...
