Xu San expected that they would go back to the shop to take a look, and was originally prepared to argue, but when he heard that this was wrong, he immediately knelt down to argue.
"It's unfair, Princess! I obviously only took some money for personal use. I'm a man. What's the use of the rouge? All the rouge and gouache have been put into the warehouse!"
Hearing this, the corners of Yan Yuhuan's mouth slowly raised.
The moment Xu San's words blurted out, he realized that he was finished. Now he couldn't cover his mouth even if he wanted to, and his whole body collapsed to the ground.
Chuntao said: "So you are admitting that you want to abscond with the money?"
Xu San no longer dared to say another word, only shaking like chaff. Yan Qing silently unsheathed the long sword half an inch. The sound of the sword frightened Xu San out of his wits, and he quickly admitted: "Yes, yes Yes, I admit it! I want to run away! Manager Lu was caught, so I felt uneasy, for fear of implicating myself, so I was confused for a moment! Please have mercy on the princess! Please have mercy on the princess!"
Yan Yu said happily and calmly: "If you make a list of people in the Yan family who colluded with foreign servants, I, the princess, can consider it and give you a way out."
Chuntao added coldly: "You only have this chance to survive. If you don't know the current situation, our princess will always have other ways to find out. As for you, I'll beat you to death and drag him down to feed the dogs."
Xu San was not a strong-willed person at all. He lost his life for some money. Even a fool could figure out whether it was a good deal or not. After hearing this, he immediately agreed. Yan Yuhuan asked for pen and paper and asked people to keep an eye on him. After Xu San finished writing, he drank tea leisurely behind the screen.
After a long time, Xu San presented the finished list, and Chuntao took the list and handed it to Yan Yuhuan.
Yan Yuhuan glanced at it casually and then told Yan Qing: "Brother Yan, could you please send this list to mother and ask her to make a decision."
Yan Qing asked: "Since Madam has given the entire matter to the Princess, why doesn't the Princess decide on her own?"
Yan Yuhuan waved her hand and said: "After all, most of them are old people who have followed my mother for many years, so she has to deal with them personally."
Even if Yan Yunyi delegates the matter to her, these people are still from the General's Palace, and Yan Yunyi is so nostalgic that she can't deal with them directly. At the very least, she has to save face for her mother.
Huiniang received the list outside the door and gave it to Yan Yunyi.
"Madam, I didn't expect that Xu San was so bloodless. The princess was so frightened that she confessed everything before even asking a few questions."
Yan Yunyi took over the list and looked at it, and said with great disappointment: "These people have been following me since I was a general. They have been with me for decades, and they have developed different intentions."
Hui Niang said: "Wealth and silk have always moved people's hearts. Even if they are loyal servants, if they don't check them from time to time, they will inevitably develop other ideas over time."
Yan Yunyi turned around and asked: "Is the method used by the princess to investigate this process have Jiang Qinian's handiwork?"
Hui Niang didn't comment, but with just one glance, the master and the servant understood each other tacitly.
Yan Yunyi put the list on the table and ordered: "Let someone tell Huan'er that these people are at her disposal and there is no need to come back to me."
Huiniang nodded and asked for instructions: "What about Jiang Qinian?"
"That's all, Huan'er likes him." Yan Yunyi blew the tea foam gently, the fragrance of the tea was refreshing, and she felt much happier.
Yan Yuhuan used thunderous means to replace all the managers in the mansion, and also formulated rules, selected some smart and loyal ones, and established the Supervision Department. The department recruited some capable people from inside and outside to be responsible for inspecting shops and fields from time to time, checking accounts, and managing matters.
After doing this for half a month, the entire Yan Mansion was replaced with fresh blood from top to bottom, and it became a new scene.
Yan Yunyi personally cooked and cooked a table of Yan Yuhuan's favorite meals. Yan Yuhuan looked at the table of delicious food, feeling a little nervous in her heart, and asked, "Mom, are you... dissatisfied with the way I have managed the property in Fuzhong recently?" , not very satisfied?"
Yan Yunyi sat down and poured wine for Yan Yuhuan. Hearing this, he glanced at Yan Yuhuan and put the wine bottle down heavily.
"In your mind, is my mother such a narrow-minded person?"
Yan Yuhuan curled her lips and said, "Isn't this because I'm afraid that my mother will blame me for dealing with those old people? After all, they have been with my mother for a long time..."
Yan Yunyi picked up the silver chopsticks, put a piece of meat on Yan Yu's plate, and said, "If you want to achieve great things, don't look back."
Yan Yuhuan obviously understood this sentence. Whenever she couldn't bear it these days, Jiang Qinian would advise her like this.
"My mother loves the crab cakes made by our chefs the most. Why didn't you let them make them today?"
Hui Niang said with a smile: "Today's meals are cooked by my wife herself and prepared for the princess."
Yan Yu was flattered and covered her mouth, but the cunning in her eyes could not be hidden.
Yan Yunyi smiled helplessly and said: "I cook for you a lot on weekdays, but I have never seen you so moved. What are you pretending to be, little hozen?"
Yan Yuhuan stopped pretending when he heard this and stuffed the meat in the bowl into his mouth with a smile. His eyes lit up in an instant.
"Hmm! Howl!" Yan Yuhuan gave a thumbs up while chewing.
Yan Yunyi was so amused that as a parent, what she most wants to see is her child's appearance while eating.
In the next few days, Yan Yuhuan devoted himself wholeheartedly to the management of the Yan family's industry, helping in different stores every day.
That day, someone came to the two-story house that had been vacant for a long time opposite the restaurant. When Chuntao saw him, he went back to the restaurant to report. Yan Yuhuan was settling accounts behind the counter. Hearing this, he raised his head and asked, "Can you see who it is?"
Chuntao scratched his head, thought about it, and said: "Looking at the clothes, they look like official family members, and there are five or six servants accompanying them. They were brought in by people from Yaxing. I'm afraid they want to rent a shop. I don't know what kind of store it is." Making a living."
Yan Yuhuan rubbed the itchy skin on the back of his neck with the end of the brush, and said nonchalantly: "You need someone to keep an eye on it. If you don't own a restaurant, you don't have to worry about it."
Shopkeeper Xia came over and asked, "Princess, if you open a restaurant, how should we deal with it?"
Yan Yuhuan said sincerely: "You should never worry about things that haven't happened yet, do you understand?"
Shopkeeper Xia didn't understand the reasoning. He only knew that if that restaurant opened, the business of his own restaurant would naturally be affected.
Yan Yuhuan saw that Shopkeeper Xia's expression was abnormal, so she turned to ask Chuntao: "Are you ready for the new dishes I asked you to prepare?"
Chuntao responded with a smile: "It has been prepared for a long time."
Shopkeeper Xia heard this and asked in confusion: "What new dish?"
Yan Yu smiled happily and clapped her hands: "Here comes the pot!"
Not long after, a charcoal stove for making tea was placed on the big table in the center of the restaurant. The cook took out a large pot and placed it on the charcoal stove. Everyone approached and saw a few pieces of tea in the big pot. A piece of solidified sauce and a whole piece of solidified oil were left. Yan Yuhuan brought hot water and poured it along the edge of the pot.
