"Do you really think I don't know what's going on with the money?"

As she spoke, Shi Anran sized up the few stewards below, and only continued to speak after cold sweat had broken out on their foreheads.

"All of you have to remember who is in charge right now, and furthermore, I have invited you here to better manage your shops. If there is a problem with the sales, shouldn't you all settle it? Why, do you blame it all on me? I didn't invite you here for free. If you have such thoughts, then pack up your luggage and leave as soon as possible! "

The stewards who originally wanted to argue with Shi Anran, seeing how unyielding she was, all of them swallowed their words. After all, a wise man knows his place.

"Alright, since everyone has nothing else to say, let me continue." Seeing that everyone had behaved themselves, Shi Anran continued to speak.

After leaving the front courtyard, Shi Anran turned her head and asked Yi Yue after walking for a while, "Yi Yue, do you think that the way I acted just now was enough to scare them?"

Hearing Shi Anran's words, Yi Yue nodded her head, "That's good, I believe they won't dare to do anything underhanded in the future."

"Yeah, or else would I have to spend the money to infuriate them?"

In contrast to the happy appearance of the master and servant, there were a few managers who had just been called out, each of them with a worried look on their faces.

Initially, they all swore that they would last until the end in front of the Third Concubine, but who would have known, that it had only been a month, and it had already been seen through.

Furthermore, they had all stolen a large amount of money, causing the accounts to become even emptier. Thinking about how to explain it to the Third Concubine, each and every one of them had a headache.

When it had just ended, they looked at each other and ordered the coachmen to take them to the place where they usually invited wine to drink.

"Brother Lin, what do you think we should do?"

A white-faced scholar dressed in green opened his mouth with a worried expression.

Hearing this, Manager Lin let out a heavy sigh, "I was also worrying here. Who would have thought that this young miss would be so hard to deal with?" Back then Third Concubine had spent a lot of effort to push us brothers over, but now this opportunity has been wasted. Third Concubine will definitely not let us off this easily. "

As soon as Manager Lin finished speaking, the remaining man's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of a good idea. "Tell me, if we surrender to Eldest Miss, will Eldest Miss spare us this time?"

Upon hearing these words, Manager Lin was eager to give it a try, but he still hesitated. "Eldest Miss already knows who we are, I believe she will have some scruples …"

The white-faced scholar frowned, "Brother Lin, Third Concubine can't tolerate us anymore, why take the risk and look for a way to survive?"

Hearing this, Manager Lin seemed to have eaten something that reassured him, nodding his head, "That is a good idea, let's do it this way, we can only pray that Eldest Miss is a kind-hearted person who can take us in."

"Alright, then we'll go back later to pack up and look for her again. Eldest Miss, let's see what she has to say."

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was a good idea. Their mood was also much better than before, as they began to eat and drink to their heart's content.

A person who was listening in on their conversation quietly left.

Seeing the news that Wang Yuan had sent over, Shi Anran nodded her head with a smile, then passed the slip of paper in her hand to Yi Yue.

After Yi Yue read through the slip of paper, she laughed, "Young miss' foresight is indeed superb."

Hearing Yi Yue's words, Shi Anran laughed, "Isn't this all thanks to you? If it wasn't for you initially sending people to follow them, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found out in time that they were people planted by the Third Concubine. But I really admire me, the Third Concubine, for being able to think of such a step. "

Yi Yue poured a cup of hot water for Shi Anran and placed it beside sher, "When Third Concubine finds out about this, he will be extremely angry."

Thinking about Third Concubine's flustered and exasperated look, Shi Anran's mood suddenly lightened.

Lian Xing walked in and blessed himself, "Miss, I was just at the door, and heard your laughter, is there something good happening?"

Shi Anran glanced at him, and Yi Yue began to recount. After she finished, Lian Xing's face was full of smiles, and she was somewhat relieved as she said, "She deserved it, who asked her to do such bad things all day."

"I was thinking that you guys haven't seen anyone for the whole day, so you were holding a small gathering here behind my back."

Seeing that the two of them were together, Liu Yue half joked, half grumbled.

Hearing her words, the two of them turned their heads at the same time, only to see Liu Yue walking in, and the two of them laughed even more happily.

"Miss, look at them, they actually mocked this servant, this servant is not by Miss's side anymore, even my status is not as strong as before! Miss, I think it's better not to let this servant rest, otherwise, Lian Xing this girl, will bully this servant to death!"

Shi Anran laughed but did not speak, Liu Yue saw that she was not angry, and said: "Miss, I am almost done, but I am too angry, and have a small problem, please let me come back to serve you."

"That's fine too. Otherwise, you would be too bored to even talk." Shi Anran raised his head and looked at her, and joked.

Without waiting for Liu Yue to show her gratitude, Yi Yue interrupted, "Since Liu Yue is here to serve you, then follow me to the kitchen to get the young miss some soup, so as to not disturb us."

"I …" Liu Yue was about to retort, but seeing that Shi Anran's expression was bad, she swallowed her words and followed Yi Yue out with her head lowered.

Lian Xing curiously squatted in front of Shi Anran, "Miss, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Shi Anran weakly shook her head. How was she going to explain herself?

Not long later, Yi Yue and Liu Yue returned from the kitchen.

Once she entered, Shi Anran was immediately alert. She noticed that it was obviously the smell of food, and raised her head to look, and sure enough, there was no more medicinal food.

Shi Anran could not help but smile, "Yi Yue, how do you know I'm hungry this time?"

"You haven't eaten much all day, and it's already so late. Even with your iron body, there should still be a time when you can't take it."

Liu Yue and Lian Xing both went up to prepare food. Shi Anran, by herself, ate alone, and did not care about etiquette anymore. She did not wait for the dishes to be done.

"Oh right, you guys can leave now. You won't be able to rest comfortably for the next few days. Since I have nothing better to do tonight, there's no need to wait on me."

After waiting on Shi Anran until she finished eating, the girls turned and left.

Shi Anran sat under the lamp and continued to flip through the account books. Although the Sect Leader was tired, holding onto the power in her hands and looking at the mother and daughter, she felt extremely comfortable.

After settling this matter, Shi Yu thought of his eldest daughter, whom he had only met once today. After the meal, he leisurely strolled over to the Agarwood Courtyard by himself.

"Why isn't there anyone serving in this courtyard?"

Shi Yu suddenly came in. Shi Anran was in a daze, and was shocked, only after a while did he regain his senses and welcome his.
