Chapter 562： The name is not right and the words are wrong!

Chapter 562: The name is not right and the words are not right!

The housekeeper was anxious, fearing that the Marquis would listen to the slander and misunderstand the princess.

He was about to step forward to explain, but without even looking at the shopkeeper, he kicked him a few feet away and strode into the house.

Jiayin said with a smile: "Father, you are back. Have you had lunch?"

"No, I came here to eat with you." The Marquis smiled and rubbed the fat girl's hair, and discussed with her: "I haven't eaten Cyclamen for a long time, do you want to go there for lunch?"

"Okay, uncle is not here, my adoptive father and I will go and support my second brother." Jiayin was so smart that she guessed the intention of the Marquis at once, "My adoptive father is the God of War, and bad guys are afraid of him, so they don't dare to bully his second brother. ”

The Marquis shaved her little nose and said with a smile: "Ghost Spirit, I really can't hide anything from you. Are you tired of checking the account books?

“The emperor has rewarded you with several pieces of new material. You can pick and choose the ones you like and let the embroiderer make them into dresses, and take the rest back and share them with your family members.”

“Okay,” Jiayin responded quickly, “Grandma had to prepare gifts earlier, but there was no material in the warehouse, so I just left some extra for grandma.”

The two men spoke happily as if there was no one else around, which completely reassured the chief steward.

But it also frightened all the shopkeepers.

They had heard before that the Marquis treated the adopted daughter of the princess differently and loved her more than his own daughter.

But after seeing it with their own eyes today, they realized that she was closer to a daughter than a real daughter!

The restaurant owner was holding his stomach and half-lying in the yard, feeling even more chilled.

He originally wanted to confuse right and wrong, start with the fact that the princess's surname is Li and not Ye, and try to "overturn the verdict" for himself.

But now it is obvious that his plan was in vain.

However, he didn’t want to be defeated by a little girl, so he struggled and climbed up the steps again.

He shouted loudly: "Master Hou, this old slave is Bai Sanxing. He has been managing the restaurant for the Hou Mansion for more than ten years. I have no merit but hard work. Master Hou, just listen to what the old slave has to say."

"Master Hou, this old slave is unjustly accused. This old slave cannot bear to see Master Hou being robbed of his family property. This old slave will not rest in peace until his death!"

The Marquis frowned, turned to look at him, and sneered: "You have managed the restaurant for the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, but the Hou Mansion has also paid you wages for more than ten years and shared the dividends for more than ten years. Where did you get it? Isn’t it your duty to work hard?”

Shopkeeper Bai was stunned for a moment, then started to cry again, "Master Hou, this old slave is just a dim-sighted person who misread the number, so that the general ledger couldn't match it up, so the princess wrongfully accused the old slave of embezzling money!

“And in autumn and winter, eggs and vegetables are much more expensive. The princess said that the old slave had done something wrong in the purchase. The old slave was wronged!

"Master Marquis, if the princess wants to kick this old slave out and replace him with the Li family, even if he says it clearly, he should not let this old slave bear such a bad name. He will not be willing to die!"

Jiayin didn't want to speak at first, but now she had to speak, "Why are you telling lies with your eyes wide open? You entered the wrong numbers ten times in an account book. In June, you actually spent three times more than usual on buying eggs. The price is still in autumn and winter, but June is considered autumn and winter in your house!”

The Marquis patted the fat **** the back, like soothing a kitten with fried fur, and finally asked Shopkeeper Bai, "You said that the princess deliberately framed you and arranged for the Li family to **** your position?"

"Yes, Lord Marquis." Shopkeeper Bai had no way out and said bravely.

The housekeeper wanted to explain again, but the Marquis nodded and said to Shopkeeper Bai: "What you said reminds me that the shop is not under the princess's name. It is indeed unfair for her to manage it in the future."

Having said that, he ordered the steward, "Go to the government office tomorrow and transfer all the shops to the name of the princess."

Everyone gasped when they heard this!

Shopkeeper Bai opened his mouth wide and his throat was staring at the sky...

There are more than thirty shops in the Marquis' Mansion, both inside and outside Kyoto!

Just give it all to the princess? !

The Hou Mansion will not be able to survive in the future? ! Especially the several shopkeepers who also had problems with their account books were simply devastated.



The four of them looked at each other and knelt down.

One of them took the lead and said: "Master Marquis, we are obsessed with tampering with the account books and overwriting the money. We are willing to return all the money and only ask the Marquis to spare our lives."

The Marquis glanced at them and said: "You can avoid the death penalty, but you cannot escape the living penalty. After the compensation is paid, each of you will receive twenty pieces of money. You are allowed to redeem yourselves and get out of the new capital with your whole family!"

These shopkeepers are all slaves of the Hou Mansion. Some have signed death deeds, some have signed long-term employment contracts for twenty years, and there is even a whole family of servants of the Hou Mansion.

With their backs against a big tree, they can enjoy the shade. As stewards and shopkeepers of the Marquis Mansion, they have never been bullied outside.

They just have to think about it. Taking off the amulet of the Marquis Mansion and living the lives of ordinary people is like walking in the cold winter snow without their cotton-padded clothes...

But the wrong thing has been done, and it is too late to regret it now.

The four of them kowtowed to the ground and obediently retreated to receive their boards.

Shopkeeper Bai felt bad when he heard the screams in the yard!

He still wanted to talk, but the Marquis had already ordered the chief steward, "Call this person's whole family, ask if there is anything else, and then deal with it and sell the whole family."

"Yes, Lord Marquis!" the chief steward responded, waved his hand and called two guards to come forward, grabbed Shopkeeper Bai and left.

Shopkeeper Bai struggled desperately and wanted to speak, but was knocked off the scabbard and passed out...

The rest of the shopkeepers who had no problem stood aside with their heads down, like quails, not daring to take a breath.

The steward asked tentatively: "Master Marquis, who is the right person to take charge of these five shops?"

The Marquis looked at Jiayin and said, "The princess will decide."

Jiayin tilted her head, kicked her calves, thought for a while and said, "For these five shops, let the former shopkeepers' deputies take over. Within a month, if they can support the shops, they will be officially promoted." . The shopkeepers of the other shops are loyal and diligent and will be rewarded with an extra month's wages."

“Okay, that’s it.” The Marquis nodded and motioned for everyone to leave.

The shopkeepers quickly bowed respectfully and thanked them, and then left one after another.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, the butler couldn't hold it any longer, so he gestured with his thumbs and exaggerated the good news, "Princess, you were so powerful just now, and you handled it so well!"

Jiayin quietly glanced outside the door, then patted his chest and said with a smile: "I was really scared to death just now. It's good that I didn't make a mistake."

"No, no, the princess handled it very well! These shopkeepers are like donkeys. They can't be led and they will go backwards. They need to be beaten more in the future, otherwise they will easily make mistakes."

The chief steward found a good excuse, climbed up the pole quickly, and begged with a grimace: "Princess, can you come to the Marquis's Mansion more times in the future, even twice a month?! The Marquis is often not at home, Although the old slave is a housekeeper, he is also a servant. The princess often comes and goes, so that the people in the house can stay together..."
