Chapter 23 – Settling The Debt The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (2/2)

Murong Ruo looked at the guards from Huitong Bank walking here and there. The handkerchief in her hands were twisted into knots and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly – when Qingyan was forced by Murong Xue to return Chen’s jewelry, she had thought that it was just an argument between little girls and did not take notice.

She never imagined that only a few days later, Murong Xue had not only snatched the shop deeds away from her mother, but had also attacked her unexpectedly, forcing her to return everything that she had swallowed from the 6 shops, and even damaged her reputation, causing her to lose face in front of everyone. What a good trick!

This weak and sickly niece of hers is definitely not a simple character. It seems like she needs to find a time to return to the Murong Marquis’ Mansion and meet this niece that she has never taken a good look at before!

Bright sunlight shone onto the water surface, reflecting bits of golden light. A light breeze caressed and brought with it a sky filled with raining flower petals.

Murong Xue wore a pink robe made of thin cloth and gracefully sat in front of the round table underneath the viburnum flower tree. She sipped lightly at her tea and casually counted the bills.

The 6 managers stood not far off from her and looked at the large amounts on those bills. They did have not envy or jealousy in their eyes, just respect. They had used all sorts of ways to demand payment over the last ten year and could not make Wu’an Marquis Household spit up even a cent. Once Murong Xue’s plan was carried out, Wu’an Marquis Household had hurriedly returned all the money owed. So brilliant!

When they stood at the corner of the street and saw the carts of silver taels being pulled to Huitong Bank, they were still stunned. Wu’an Marquis’ Household had so much money yet they kept delaying on their payment. What terrible character they have. When they left the street corner, they heard people discussing and criticizing how bad a character the people of Wu’an Marquis Household have.

“The debt has been entirely settled. All of you have put in hard work. This money is to award everyone. Managers, staff, everyone has a share!” Murong Xue finished calculating the bills and confirmed that there was no error before taking out 6 bills and putting them onto the table.

The 6 managers walked up one by one and picked up the bill. When they saw the amount on the bills, they all smiled brightly, “Thank you so much, Young Mistress!” After managing the shops for so many years, this is the first time they have seen so much bonus. Young Mistress is so generous.

“If the shops’ profits for this year is 10% more than last year. I will also give all of you a huge bonus at the end of the year!” Murong Xue smiled lightly, like a hundred flowers blooming.

The managers’ eyes immediately shone. Young Mistress is generous. If she says that the bonus is huge, it will definitely be not a small amount of taels!”

“Thank you very much Young Mistress. We will definitely do our best in managing the shops and will definitely not disappoint Young Mistress.” The managers solemnly promised and walked out of Luoxue Court full of thanks.

Murong Ye quickly walked forward and looked at the thick wad of bills, full of astonishment, “Sister, how did you manage to think of such a method to collect the debt?”

His sister had easily resolved what was causing the managers such a huge headache. Even he had thought hard but couldn’t find a solution. It was brilliant!

Murong Xue took a sip of tea, her eyes bright and active, “Wu’an Marquis Household is a noble family and places great importance on their reputation. They will definitely not allow any blemishes on themselves. When I asked the shopkeepers to read the accounts at the entrance of Wu’an Marquis Mansion, it would be airing their dirty laundry. If Wu’an Marquis Household did not wish to continue having their dirty laundry aired, then they would obediently pay up!”

“I see!” Murong Ye nodded with half-understanding. His gaze turned bright at the sight of the thick wad of bills, “Sister, since you have so much money, give me ten thousand taels to spend please!”
