Chapter 74

"But can you tell me what it is about?" Chen Zhi asked.

Zhang Ping said, "They said they heard that the master was ill, so they wrote to ask, but I don't think it's that simple."

If he had thought of it, how could Xu Shuhe and Chen Zhi not have thought of it?

At that moment, they guessed that Li Mingzhu had written a letter to Chen Xun, who was studying in the capital, asking for help. Chen Xun now sent someone to deliver the letter back to Chen Huaiqian, most likely to try to find a way to plead for Feng.

After all, Chen Huaiqian was extremely angry this time, and Feng had committed suicide twice in a row, so all the evidence of his crimes was exposed at once.

"Okay, I get it. Ask the person who delivers the letter to keep an eye on him." Chen Zhi ordered.

Zhang Ping bowed and left immediately.

Xu Shuhe then comforted her, "It's okay, we'll go check it out together when we get home tonight."

The store was busy at the moment, and the two of them didn't pay any attention to the disputes in the house. Business was still the most important thing.

By the time we finished our work, it was already evening.

The two of them took a car back home.

As expected, Feng was not released from house arrest because of Chen Xun's letter, but his subordinates reported that Chen Huaiqian still asked about Feng's situation.

I am still a little soft-hearted, Xu Shuhe thought silently.

He immediately ordered, "I remember that Aunt Guo left behind a few things that were not burned. Father-in-law is thinking about her, so pack them up and send them over, so that they can remain as a memory."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Xinyue bowed.

She left, and Meixiang made tea and brought it over.

"The master really misses Miss Guo, but now Miss Guo may have sympathized with me and has changed her name and taken the money to live a good life."

Xu Shuhe took the teacup and took a sip. "I've been thinking about it so much, and I'm almost there. I thought the other person was thinking about me as well, so naturally I can't let her go for the time being, but it's only for a while."

This trick only works in the short term. For an old man like Chen Huaiqian who is deeply in love with every girl he meets, it will get better after a while.

For example, when he married Chen Zhi's mother, Zhou, he was deeply in love with her. Later, when he met Feng, the sister of his best friend who was in trouble, his heart flew away again. If Feng had not kept a close eye on him over the years and used ruthless means, and if no one in the mansion had not opposed her, a woman like Guo Yunya would have easily been able to get to Chen Huaiqian.

Otherwise, how could Xu Shuhe accomplish it with just a little arrangement?

"Speaking of which, the second and fourth sons are really my father-in-law's biological sons, each of them owns half. Our third young master must have taken after his mother-in-law." Xu Shuhe joked.

Meixiang thought about her words carefully and realized that was true.

The second son, Chen Jin, is confused and lustful, and only cares about having fun. The fourth son, Chen Xun, inherited the deceptive gentle and gentlemanly temperament of Chen Huaiqian, and he really studies hard, so he looks like a real scholar.

When the two of them are put together, they look just like Chen Huaiqian, who pretends to be serious, appears restrained on the surface, but is actually a complete fool at heart.

As for Chen Zhi, Xu Shuhe also guessed correctly. Zhou was gentle, kind, simple and tolerant. Chen Zhi had such a personality in his previous life, but he had suffered the same hardships as his mother. In this life, he has changed a lot.

Ju Rui Tang.

Li Mingzhu was still happy during the day because Chen Xun's letter asked Chen Huaiqian to inquire about Feng's affairs. She thought that her father-in-law had calmed down a little and the situation would get better and better.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Shuhe came back in the evening, he asked Xinyue to deliver Aunt Guo's belongings.

Chen Zhi was also very considerate and went to Chen Huaiqian to show his filial piety.

Even a fool could see that this was not a coincidence, but intentional.

Although Li Mingzhu hated it, there was nothing she could do.

How could she dare to go against Xu Shuhe now?

Not to mention that she had lost her position as housekeeper and had no other arrangements, her own embroidery workshop was just starting to see some improvement thanks to the popularity of Yunshang Pavilion. But she was also annoyed because she had no place to vent her anger.

It so happened that Chen Jin's concubine, the pregnant one named Qianwen, said that she had a poor appetite during the bitter summer and wanted to eat fresh fruit.

Originally, Chen Jin cherished her, and if she asked for something, Chen Jin would buy it for her, but recently Chen Jin has no money.

The family shop's account was not paid, and he didn't dare to ask Li Mingzhu for it, but Qianwen made a fuss.

This incident gave Li Mingzhu a chance to vent her anger.

Previously, Feng had pressured her not to take action against Chen Jin's offspring. Now that Feng herself was in danger, Li Mingzhu naturally wanted to seize the opportunity.

He immediately gave Chen Jin some money and asked him to buy some fruit for Qianwen.

Needless to say, problems arose as soon as we ate it.

When the doctor arrived, the child was gone and the adult was also seriously injured, so she might not be able to get pregnant again in the future.

Qianwen cried bitterly, saying that someone was trying to harm her.

But the fruit was bought by Chen Jin for her, so who would dare to blame Chen Jin?

When Xu Shuhe heard about the farce, he was looking at the account books with Chen Zhi.

Made money!

The joining of Master Yang brought a lot of benefits. She has good skills and knowledge, and together with Xu Shuhe's fresh ideas, she quickly produced a batch of custom-made clothes.

These clothes have unique brands, so the prices are naturally several times higher than ordinary clothes, so the profits are naturally considerable.

However, only a few people are willing to spend money on high-end custom-made clothes. Most people just take measurements, choose fabrics, and have their clothes made according to the ready-made styles displayed in the store.

But no matter which one it is, you can make money.

Originally, these shops selling cloth and ready-made clothes mostly made money by selling cloth, but now, Yunshang Pavilion has developed into a shop that makes money by selling ready-made clothes.

Those small shops that imitated Yunshang Pavilion in making cloth at first are now unable to imitate it at all.

The skills of weaving and dyeing cloth are now mature and easy to learn, but making ready-made clothes requires more manpower and resources, and small shops cannot keep up. They originally only sold cloth.

In addition, the special labels devised by Xu Shuhe have led customers to view Yunshang Pavilion as a special brand. Rich people are proud of their status and naturally want to buy authentic products.

With its great influence, people can subtly distinguish between the real and the fake, so most people will choose to buy authentic products. The fabrics of Yunshang Pavilion are of better quality, so most people are willing to pay a little more for them.

There is also the way Chen Zhi named the fabrics, which is a way of showing off his taste. Some girls with literary talent and knowledge are more willing to buy them.

In short, the two of them were smiling as they looked at the account book.

"This month's profit is even higher. I wonder if we should send the first dividend to the Fifth Prince in time." Chen Zhi suggested after reading it.

Xu Shuhe nodded, "We used the money given by the Fifth Prince to buy better fabrics, so we can sell them at a higher price. We should let him see the benefits of this investment sooner, otherwise how can he continue to invest money in us?"

If you want to raise the level, it will cost money.

"That's one thing. Besides, I think we haven't found a better master to make rouge yet. Why don't we ask the Fifth Prince to give it a try?" Chen Zhi pondered. "The nobles may have connections."

When this idea was proposed, Xu Shuhe thought it was a good idea and nodded immediately.

"That's good. It's at least one more way out. Besides, since I'm going to the capital to give money to the fifth prince, I might as well pack some things and send them to my grandmother, uncles and aunts. I'll go out more."

"Then I'll leave the task of preparing things for my grandmother and the others to you. I'll contact the Fifth Prince." Chen Zhi nodded.

After the two of them finished talking, they closed the account book and prepared to go their separate ways to make preparations, when Meixiang came in to report.

"There was a commotion in the Second Young Master's room. That Concubine Qianwen had a miscarriage."
