THE EVIL PRINCE AND HIS PRECIOUS WIFE
Chapter 20 – Making Angry Grandma Stepdaughter
"How are you, managers?"
A cold denouncing sound instantly entered their ears and hit their hearts. The managers shuddered and their faces showed confusion, "Young Miss, is her account wrong?"
The Marquis Dowager Woman will check the accounts every month. If things went wrong, he would scold them or if the situation was worse, he might even report it to the judge. Because of this, they never dared to do anything funny with regards to the account after so many years.
“The accounts have nothing wrong with them. His too much and too long!” Murong Xue's hands of dedication waved and the account book accurately fell into the manager's lap.
“When you open a business, you might let customers put it on the tab. But there must be a limit to how much. It's okay if it's 3 or 5 months; 1 to 2 years may be exhausting but look at the account in your hand. From 10 years ago until now, for a rogue customer who didn't pay a dime, you still dare to let them pick up an item from the store? Do you want to close the shop?
Are there a lot of bad customers? How could they not remember?
The managers looked down confused to flip through the book. Looking at the name of the debtor, they all became bitter, "Young Lady, it was not us who made the decision to let them owe, she said, but those who came to pick up the goods from the shop were all from the Wu'an Marquis household ..."
“So what if it is the household of Wu'an Marquis? Even if the woman herself, Murong Rou personally, she is also a customer, and you just need to serve her carefully. Who let them take the goods and just need to owe and not pay?” Murong Xue interrupted them sharply, her gaze ice-cold.
The managers looked at each other and lowered their heads, their voices as soft as mosquitoes, "This ... Old mistress who allows ..."
Murong Xue's mouth grinned, she knew it would be like that.
Ten years of stacked accounts makes it pretty high. He didn't flip through everything but picked some from ten years ago, five years ago and then looked at the last two months. He discovered that from 10 years ago, the Wu'an Marquis household would come to the clothing store and order new clothes in bulk. Ten to twenty rolls of high quality, medium and low quality fabric type will be used – from the widow woman of the Wu'an Marquis Household, to the lowest servants and servants will all be adjusted from here!
Just like that for 10 years – they only recorded debts but never paid a single cent.
In addition, from the jewelry store they also often visit. Each season, they would take quite a number of sets for the old mistress, the lady and the young.
Every 2 to 3 months, the Wu'an Marquis household people would also go to the antique shop to pick up an antique or two, painting and never pay a single cent…
No wonder Du correctly said that he did not steal income from his mother's dowry shop. It was because the money earned had all been used to repay the debt left behind by the Wu'an Household, and thus there was barely any money left. Even if he wanted to steal, there was nothing left.
“This is how stepmom helped my mom take care of her shop?” Murong Xue opened the curtains before walking into the inner room, sneering at Du.
Du glanced at her and replied without a care, "Your aunt made their clothes and jewelry there to help the shop business ..."
“Taking goods and paying is called helping business. Taking things and not paying, and taking for ten years is easily called thick-skinned! Murong Xue unceremoniously interrupted what he said, word for word saying, “The noble Household of Marquis Wu'an is not a beggar on the street, actually doing shameless acts like a street thug. Even they do not feel ashamed, I feel ashamed for them.”
“Rou'er is your dear aunt. How could you say such a thing about him?" Snapped Du, his eyes flashed with a cold sharpness.
Murong Xue sneered, “My mother is her direct sister-in-law. She shamelessly took the goods from her sister-in-law's dowry shop without paying anything, and I can't even say a word about her?”
"You…"
Muong Xue waved her hand to cut her off and lightly looked at her, “Don't tell me again. She's my aunt. As his nephew, giving him several sets of clothes and jewelry was part of his honor. I am his nephew, and both of my parents have been hereditary, how could he not take care of me and make me some clothes and jewelry stels every month in his dowry shop?”
"You ..." Du pointed towards Murong Xue, so angry that he could say nothing. This little bitch - doesn't she like to talk a lot? How did he become so eloquent?
Murong Xue glanced at him and coldly said, “My mother's fine dowry shop has been 'taken care of' by you until it falls apart. If I let you keep 'taking care of' them, 6 stores should definitely close. Can I trouble the step-grandmother to return the 6 store deed to me. I will personally take care of them. Whether managed well or poorly, it had nothing to do with the step-grandmother anymore!
Du's face darkened and lowered his eyelids. After Chen's death, he noticed these 6 shops. However, Gehui also knew about these 6 stores and after Murong Ye and Murong Xue grew up, he had to return them. Therefore, he could not take over openly but could only do so secretly
Gehui was very sharp and if the store created a fake account, he would definitely know about it. Therefore he thought of this devious method – by randomly taking things from the store and secretly moving assets out of the store and into his pocket.
For ten years, they had moved most of the store's assets. In a few more years, those 6 stores will be entirely theirs. They had never imagined that at this crucial moment, Murong Xue knew about it.
If he were to hand these shops over to Murong Xue, they would no longer be able to pick up items from the store. The shops still had a number of valuable items. It would be painful to just give up!
Observing his changed expression, Murong Xue knew what he was thinking. A grin formed and she said, “Stepgrandmother, if you want to spoil your daughter, I cannot interfere in what you want to give her, nor do I bother to interfere. But, please don't use my mother's dowry shop to get help since those shops have been passed down to me and my brother by my mother and have absolutely nothing to do with you! If you insist on continuing to manage, I may not be able to refuse to tell others how the store has 'developed' during these ten years.
Du suddenly looked at Murong Ye, his eyes flashed with a cold sharpness – **** this, he dared to threaten him! All right, very good!
“It's only 6 stores. I don't even think about them too much. If you want it, I'll give it all to you!" Du picked up an old blackwood box and quickly opened it, took out a few pages of deed and roughly threw it at Murong Xue, “Exit from the Yutang Court now. You are not welcome here!”
Murong Xue took the deed and looked carefully. After making sure that they were right, she nodded in satisfaction, “There is no need to trouble the step-grandmother. I'm really sick of the Yutang Court. Since I have a deed, we no longer connect us. Even if you beg me, I won't want to come!”
“You...” Du choked and picked up the teacup in front of him and threw it across, “Have!”
Murong Xue said, grabbing the curtain and throwing it forward. Pingy! The tea cups hit the curtains, the tea splashed everywhere and the tea cups broke…
6 managers stood in a corner, heads lowered, not looking anywhere, and pretending not to see sparks flying between Murong Xue and Dowager Du. The family matter of the Marquis household did not concern them as store managers, nor did they dare to worry. They better protect themselves.
Du conspired against Murong Ye to make his pawn his mother's dowry. Then he came here and took 6 deeds, causing Du and Murong Ruo to not only fail but also lose their own interests. Seeing Du jump mad, he felt very comfortable!
Murong Xue's mouth formed a thin smile and she casually walked in front of the managers, arrogantly saying, “We can no longer tolerate the ten-year debt that the Wu'an Marquis household has. The six of you should immediately return to the store and send your staff to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion to collect the debt!”
