After Xia Chiwan received the imperial edict, Shi Xin and Baoqin were both happy for their young lady. Their young lady was now the head of the county!
"Congratulations, Miss. Congratulations, Miss."
Shi Xin looked at Xia Chiwan happily, feeling that Xia Chiwan's previous humiliation was worth it.
"Miss, you are in great luck this time."
Baoqin also looked at Xia Chiwan with a smile.
The master is beautiful, and when they are slaves, when they go out, their faces will naturally be much more glorious.
Seeing that the two maids were extremely happy, Xia Chiwan shook her head, "It's too early to be happy."
"Miss, what's wrong with you? This is a matter of honoring your family. How can you be happy too early?"
Baoqin looked at Xia Chiwan strangely.
Xia Chiwan's lips curled up, "You may think it's a good thing, but some people may not think this reward is a good thing."
Sure enough, not long after Xia Chiwan finished speaking, Xia Boran came to see Xia Chiwan after returning home from the next court.
"You rebellious girl, didn't you ever want to discuss it with your father before doing something? Do you still have a father in your eyes?"
Thinking of what the emperor said that morning, Xia Boran's anger surged from his heart to his throat.
Because of the smallpox incident, the prices of spirits and rice vinegar have skyrocketed. If anyone owns this shop, now is the time to make a fortune.
The Xia family may not have this shop, but the Yun family does!
Among Yun Qiandu's dowry, there are two large wine cellars and rice vinegar shops. It can even be said that the rice vinegar used in Kyoto actually comes from the rice vinegar factory of Yun Qiandu's family.
For Xia Boran, even after Yun Qiandu died, it would be difficult to openly take over Yun Qiandu's dowry.
But Yun Qiandu is his woman. Naturally, everything about Yun Qiandu also belongs to the Xia Mansion.
Who would have known that, in the blink of an eye, Xia Chiwan would take the wine cellar and the entire rice vinegar factory and give them to the emperor for free.
Even if the emperor made Xia Chiwan the county lord, to Xia Boran, the daughter of the county lord would not be of much use.
The difference is that the wine cellar and rice vinegar shop can bring Xia Boran huge amounts of money.
For this reason, Xia Boran felt that Xia Chiwan, the county owner, had made a huge loss!
"My father has always asked my daughter to help my concubine sister and my eldest brother solve the problem. My daughter thought that since there are these two things in my mother's dowry, it is better to help my concubine sister and my eldest brother to save money and eliminate disasters."
Facing Xia Boran's rage, the two maids Shi Xin and Bao Qin had long been frightened into silence.
But Xia Chiwan was quite calm and still defending himself.
"Dad, don't you think that now there are no more people crowding the door of the prime minister's house, and there are no more voices scolding the concubine sister and the eldest brother for causing harm?"
"Even so, you should discuss it with your father before doing anything!"
Xia Boran said firmly.
If he had known about this in advance, he would never have allowed Xia Chiwan to do this.
"It's just a small gain, but you don't even know what it means. With such a mood, how can my father trust you to trust the prime minister's government to you!"
Xia Boran flicked his sleeves, and his heart trembled with pain when he thought of the two stores that Xia Chiwan sent away.
"Is dad planning to take back the management rights of the prime minister's palace? Naturally, the daughter does not dare to go against dad's wishes, but the daughter has only one request, and that is mother's dowry, which must be managed by her!"
Xia Chiwan raised his head and looked at Xia Boran.
