As soon as Su Yingxue entered Thousand-Jiao Pavilion, she was greeted by the sweet and refreshing fragrance in the air, which made her expression relax with pleasure.
“This is Chun Tingxue, a perfume I recently formulated. Placing a bottle of it in the main hall fills the entire room with a delightful and fresh aroma,” Wu Jinyan explained to her attentively.
“It’s made by dissolving spices in water, and you can either place it in your home or apply it to your skin. It leaves a long-lasting fragrance.”
“Sister Jinyan is meticulous and skillful. You are also good at innovation. No wonder the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion has become famous since it opened.” Su Yingxue’s eyes were filled with admiration. In terms of doing business, Wu Jinyan was a well-deserved shrewd person. She was much more powerful than her.
“There are many ways to do business, and there are many things to worry about. Compared to your medical center, it’s more complicated. However, now that the medical center has been rebuilt, you can rest at home for a few days. 1 heard that you’ve been taking care of the family recently and doing very well.” In the room, Wu Jinyan served her a cup of tea.
Su Yingxue, while savoring the tea’s fragrance mixed with the scent of the perfume, found the combination surprisingly harmonious and refreshing.
“Indeed, Sister Jinyan, you’re well-informed,” she remarked with a light chuckle.
“I also have some bad news for you. Today, Su Yurou arrived in a fit of anger and selected numerous clothes and jewelry. She even got into a scuffle with someone just now. My shopkeeper reminded her not to buy too many at once. She scolded the shopkeeper and took more instead.” A crease appeared between Wu Jinyan’s eyebrows.
She knew that Su Yingxue was in charge of the Marquis’s Manor, and she had naturally heard about the matter of Red Brocade Lane going to the Marquis’ Manor to report the debt.
She was worried that Su Yurou was deliberately making an enemy out of her. She had spent so much money and had put it all on Su Yingxue.
The corners of Su Yingxue’s lips curled up in a relaxed manner. “No matter how much money she spends, you just accept it. If she says that she wants to repay the money, Sister doesn’t have to be polite. Just send someone to the Marquis Manor to ask for the money.”
“Sending someone to the Marquis’s Manor for payment, isn’t that essentially requesting payment from you? If the money comes from your hands, Marquis may blame you for poor stewardship and inadequate control. After all, I’ve lived amidst such power struggles for many years.” Wu Jinyan understood the household’s intricate dynamics well.
“What you want is the Marquis’s Manor’s money, and it will be deducted from Daddy’s account.” Su Yingxue smirked and winked at her.
Wu Jinyan was no longer concerned, smiling as she suggested, “In that case, why not provide a share for all the Su family’s women? This way, not only can I conduct business, but it would also grant you considerable prestige.”
“Sister Jinyan, what an excellent idea. I’d like to trouble you to prepare a set for me. 1 have two older cousins and three younger ones. Sister, please don’t skimp.”
Wu Jinyan personally arranged the clothing and accessories for Su Yingxue and had them delivered to the other two Su family residences.
Unsurprisingly, Su Yurou purchased everything on credit and had Thousand-Jiao Pavilion bill the Marquis’s Manor.
Upon returning with a cart full of items, Su Yurou consciously avoided revealing her purchases to Liu Shulan.
However, her bill was promptly delivered to Su Dingheng the following day.
Upon hearing of Su Dingheng’s outburst in the main hall, Liu Shulan immediately thought of Su Yurou.
Liu Shulan was afraid that Su Yurou had stirred up trouble again, so she went to inspect her courtyard.
Su Yurou had no opportunity to conceal her actions, and a variety of new clothes and accessories lay exposed before Liu Shulan.
Following a count, Liu Shulan was furious, wishing to give Su Yurou a sound slap. “You foolish child! I’ve repeatedly warned you not to cause any trouble! Don’t cause any trouble! You bought so many things.. If your father learns about this expenditure, what will happen?”
