Zhu Pei came to the central hall of the next mansion. A door had been opened in the partition walls of the two mansions. This ten-acre house has been successfully transferred and belongs to them.

In fact, they could live in the next house first and move it back after the gardening is completed. However, Zhu Pei didn't like the traces of the original owner here, nor did he like the structure of the back house of this mansion, so he moved it back after the construction of both sides was completed.

She walked into the lobby, Jian Meizi followed her, and Manager Liu, who was sitting in the hall, quickly got up and saluted, "See Madam!"

Zhu Pei has known Manager Liu since she was a child, and she still respects such an elderly person in the family.

"You don't have to be polite to the manager, please sit down!"

Manager Liu Da sat down and took out a thick stack of books. He took out a report first and handed it to Zhu Pei and smiled: "This is a three-month business situation, and he made a profit of 60,000 yuan in three months..."

Zhu Pei was surprised, "Is there so many?"

Manager Liu Da smiled slightly, "We are quite a few. The Chai family's twenty money shops in Beijing make a profit of 80,000 yuan per month. Our thirteen money shops make only 20,000 yuan per month, which is far worse than the real big money shop."

"I've heard that money shops are huge profits, but now it seems that it's not simple."

"Mrs. I don't know much about business. For example, Qingfeng Restaurant, it has a prosperous business every day. Even if it makes small profits but quick turnover, each restaurant only makes 100 guan a day. Twenty Qingfeng Restaurants in Beijing make 2,000 guan a day, and the profit per month is 60,000 guan. However, each of our Zhu's money shops can only make 50 guan a day. Compared with Qingfeng Restaurant, it is not a huge profit."

How much money is earned is just a number for Zhu Pei. She didn't care much and asked again: "What else?"

"There is also the profit sharing. Zhu's money shop has been owned by his wife and son-in-law for more than two years. He has not paid a penny to make a profit. So far, the cumulative profit has been 500,000 jin. The wife sees whether to convert it into gold and deposit it in the vault."

"If the profit distribution will affect the operation of the money shop?"

"No! Money has sufficient silver circulation."

Zhu Pei thought for a while and said, "Let's do this! Give each clerk a monthly salary of 20%, and the manager's salary of 30%, and you will increase 50%, and the remaining profit will be converted into gold and deposited in the vault!"

"I understand, but the key to the vault is in the hands of my son-in-law. We only have one key, so we can't open the vault door."

"He gave me the key, and I will give it to you when you need it."

"Thank you, Madam!"

Zhu Pei asked again with a smile: "How much money do we save in the money shop now?"

"Are you asking my son-in-law's cabinet?"

Zhu Pei was stunned, "What does it mean to save money from my son-in-law? Didn't I put the money together with my son-in-law?"

Manager Liu Da shook his head, "My son-in-law has a cabinet for seven or eight years, and the other counter is with his wife and son-in-law."

Of course, Zhu Pei knew that her husband had a cabinet in the money shop, but after getting married, the two of them were together, so why did he have a cabinet alone?

Zhu Pei asked, "How much money is there on the son-in-law's cabinet now?"

"Last month it was 15,500 taels of silver, but now it is 12,000 taels of silver, and this one took 3,500 taels of silver."

Zhu Pei was surprised in his heart, what did her husband do for 3,500 taels of silver? Why didn’t he know?

She thought about it and asked again, "Has it always been that much money?"

"Not it. At the beginning of last year, I had 16,300 taels of silver. I took a little one every month later, and about 800 taels of silver this year and a half."

"Wait a minute!"

Zhu Pei suddenly realized something was wrong. They have been in Kunzhou for the past two years, so how could they withdraw money?

"Manager Liu, you are right! We have been in Kunzhou, how can we withdraw money?"

Manager Liu was a little overwhelmed and could not lie, so Zhu Pei answered whatever he asked, but he also knew that it involved the privacy of his son-in-law and he was likely to cause trouble.

"This...this...I'm not very clear about it." Manager Liu stammered.

"Nonsense! You don't know who will withdraw money. Will you allow irrelevant people to withdraw money from your son-in-law?"

"It was my son-in-law who agreed!"

Manager Liu Da stuttered: "I agreed a long time ago, and the wife had not married her son-in-law at that time!"

Zhu Pei suddenly felt doubtful and asked, "Tell me, who is here to withdraw money?"

"Yes...a little maid, who looks like she is thirteen or fourteen years old."

"Little maid?"

Zhu Pei felt something faintly. She stared at the manager with sharp eyes, "You must have not told me the truth. You know the inside story, right?"

Under Zhu Pei's harsh questioning, Director Liu sighed and said, "It's a young woman. She has come to get the money twice. It seems that her surname is Ouyang. The name she left when signing for the receipt is Ouyang Qian. I don't know anything else."

...........

Zhu Pei was stunned as if she was struck by lightning. How could she not know the name Ouyang Qian? Ouyang Xiu's daughter, shortly after she knew Fan Ning, had read this letter Ouyang Qian wrote to Fan Ning. Although she only taught him how to write, the concern in the letter was beyond words.

But later they seemed to have no contact again, and Zhu Pei gradually forgot about her. However, Zhu Pei never dreamed that her husband was actually in contact with Ouyang Qian and gave her money. What does this mean? What is the relationship between them?

Zhu Pei was as if he was stunned. She couldn't even say a word while sitting in the lobby. She didn't even know that Manager Liu said goodbye and left.

At this time, Jian Meizi, who was standing at the door of the lobby, felt something was wrong with Zhu Pei, so she walked over and pressed her shoulder and asked softly: "Ape, are you okay?"

Zhu Pei suddenly rushed into Jian Meizi's arms and burst into tears. Jian Meizi was startled and asked quickly: "Ape, what happened?"

"My husband deceived me, he raised women outside!" Zhu Pei cried.

"Wait a minute! Are you mistaken? My son-in-law has never been a romantic person. He has never even been to brothels in Kunzhou. How could he raise a woman outside?"

"This woman is not a prostitute, she is... the woman he has always known, and she knows her before me."

"Ape, don't cry first. Let's figure out the situation first. Is it true? You can't solve the problem if you cry like this."

"I want to divorce him!"

Zhu Pei suddenly wiped away his tears, stood up angrily and shouted, "You dare to deceive me, I'm useless to treat him so well. He is simply... a big bastard!"

"Ape, calm down, tell me who I am first, I'll investigate it for you, don't say anything like divorce."

"Sister Jian, she... Her name is Ouyang Qian, and she is Ouyang Xiu's daughter. No wonder he cares so much about Ouyang Xiu. I know now. He is actually for Ouyang Qian."

Jian Meizi waved Aya in and said to her, "You go back with your wife first. I'll check some things and I'll be back soon."

Jian Meizi said to Zhu Pei again: "Before the matter is clear, don't draw conclusions first, hold back, don't cry!"

After saying that, Jian Meizi hurriedly left, and Zhu Pei didn't want to stay any longer. She wiped her tears and said, "Let's go home!"

...........

When it was almost dark, Jian Meizi returned to Zhu's mansion. She did not go directly to Zhu Pei, but first found Zhu Pei's mother Wang.

"Amei, what's wrong with Pei'er? I heard from the housekeeper that she seemed to have cried today?" Wang asked anxiously.

"Madam, things are a bit troublesome, maybe it's related to my son-in-law."

Jian Meizi briefly said what happened in the mansion today, and Wang was shocked, "Is it true? Fanning really raises a woman outside?"

"Madam, things are not that simple. I found Ouyang Mansion today and found a way to ask a servant. He told me that Ouyang Qian had been kicked out of the mansion by her stepmother and her whereabouts are unknown now."

"Why?"

Wang asked with wide eyes: "What's going on with Ouyang Xiu's daughter being kicked out of the mansion?"

"Her stepmother's brother framed Ouyang Xiu and was sued by Ouyang Qian. His stepmother's brother died in prison, so his stepmother could not tolerate her."

"Then why didn't her father care about it and saw her daughter being kicked out?"

"It seems that her father is seriously ill and doesn't care about this daughter."

"It's a sin!"

Wang sighed softly and said, "Is Aning taking care of this Ouyang Qian?"

"I think yes, if my son-in-law bought a house for Ouyang Qian, then I will find out where the house is through the teeth? The key is that there is Ape, she is very excited. Today she actually shouted to divorce her son-in-law..."

"nonsense!"

Wang said unhappyly: "Why is such a big man still as ignorant as a child?"

"Maybe it's because the authorities are confused, why don't your wife go and persuade her!"
