How did Xuexue get her money? Situ Yongjie certainly knew well.
In his heart, he both admired this daughter Xuexue and felt very guilty.
After all, she was clearly of noble descent, yet ended up among commoners, living a life of uncertainty.
To avoid starvation, a young woman like her actually learned to do business.
Not only that, but she also thrived in business, opening branches in many places in Moli Country, leaving many people behind.
Facing the Old Madam’s questioning, Situ Yongjie helplessly said, "Mother, don’t misunderstand Xuexue; she is not that kind of person."
The Old Madam widened her triangular eyes, looked at Situ Yongjie, and said incredulously, "At this mont, you are still speaking for her."
"Mother, it’s true, Xuexue never took silver from the General’s Mansion."
"Who believes that? A country girl, so shabby, where did she get so much silver to open such a big brothel?"
"Mother, you haven’t seen how she does business; this girl is very clever, makes money in whatever business she does, she’s a natural at it; if you don’t believe it, look through the accounts, the store she managed these days made a lot of silver."
Regarding Situ Yongjie’s claims, the Old Madam expressed disbelief; what capability does a girl returning from the countryside have? So she imdiately called Situ Qinger to hand over all the account books.
To catch Situ Xueer’s fault, Situ Qinger was naturally very willing and imdiately rushed back to fetch all the account books for the Old Madam to review.
After all, she hadn’t been in power at the General’s Mansion for long, so she was open-minded and didn’t fear the Old Madam auditing her accounts.
The Old Madam opened the account books, looking through them page by page, very carefully, afraid of missing anything.
Approximately two hours later, just when everyone was about to fall asleep, the Old Madam finally finished looking through all the account books.
She was very surprised to find that not only was not a single tael of silver missing from the account books, but there were several thousand more taels of silver.
The Old Madam looked at Situ Yongjie and asked, her anger finally subsiding significantly, her voice much softer, "Jiejie, what’s going on? How co there are several thousand extra taels of silver in the account books?"
"Mother, all this is thanks to Xuexue, she’s a natural at business, whenever a store cos under her control, it only makes a profit, not a loss." Situ Yongjie looked proud, this daughter made him so proud.
The Old Madam finally cald down and murmured to herself, "As long as the silver didn’t co from our mansion, it’s good."
Saying that, she returned the account books to Situ Qinger and said, "Qinger, your elder sister is a business genius; don’t fall behind. If you are as brainless as Auntie Tang, always doing losing business, Grandma has the right to take it back and let your elder sister manage it."
Upon hearing this, Situ Qinger felt a strong resentnt in her heart.
Originally planning to use the Old Madam to strike at Xuexue, who knew it would turn out like this. Not only did she fail to win the Old Madam over but also inexplicably got scolded.
Situ Qinger clenched her teeth in secret, thinking, "Xuexue, you little cheap person, just wait, dare to use my na for the brothel’s na, I definitely won’t let you off."
However, Grandmother is becoming harder and harder to fool, and this little cheap person escaped once again.
Situ Qinger, "Grandmother, don’t worry; Qinger has learned from Grandmother’s teachings and will definitely work diligently to expand our ancestral business, so Grandmother and Father can be proud."
The Old Madam then smiled satisfactorily, "Good, Qinger, spare so ti to invite your elder sister back from the War Prince’s Mansion, and let’s have a al together as a family."
