In one sentence, all the old lady's strange emotions were blocked there.
She was already troubled by various things inside and outside the house, and now that Su Nianyun was quarreling with her, she was even more troubled.
Before she could speak, Su Nianyun said in surprise, "Old Madam..."
She stood up and came to the old lady's side, "Why does your face look so old? Are you really using the facial oil that the Queen Mother uses?"
Su Nianyun subconsciously touched her smooth and white face.
"Why do I use the same thing as you, and your face is getting older and older, but my face is getting better and better?"
"It's really weird!"
These few words turned into a sharp knife and penetrated directly into the heart of the old lady.
The old lady almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
When she was young, she was a famous beauty in Beijing, and her face was the most important and protective one.
Even in old age, she still maintains her face like a thirty-year-old woman.
But recently, her face had aged rapidly, and no matter what remedies she tried, it seemed to have no effect.
"Old madam, are you reluctant to use that facial oil?"
Su Nianyun added, "Actually, you don't have to be so economical. Just tell me when you use it up, and I will go to the palace and ask the imperial doctor for new ones."
"Don't say these are useless," the old lady said angrily, "I ask you, what happened to the shop that was pledged to you before is no longer making money?"
"Ah?" Su Nianyun was confused, "Well, I don't know how to do business, how can I know why the shop is not making money?"
"You said you don't know how to do business?" The old lady didn't believe it. "You obviously improved the shop very well before, and the shop did make a lot of money!"
"Is it possible to make money by changing the layout of the shop?" Su Nianyun said, "Then the money is indeed very profitable."
"Does the old lady want to help me change the layout of the shop?"
"You know that's not what I mean," the old lady said angrily, "I want you to help the shop make money again!"
"Old Madam, I grew up riding horses and hunting in Mobei when I was a child. Later, I received instruction from the Queen Mother in the palace, and I also know some etiquette and rules..."
"There is no way to learn how to do business alone. The old lady thinks that I am good at running a business, so I want to hand over the power of running the business to me?"
"I'm talking about the management of the shop, why am I talking about the manager?"
"Since I entered the mansion, I have spent all my food and expenses on myself, and I have never enjoyed any subsidies from the mansion."
Su Nianyun said the facts calmly, "I didn't pledge the shop, and I didn't hand over the money. Why should I care whether those shops make money or not?"
"You're not convinced that I didn't earn the interest money, are you?"
"Yes." Su Nianyun nodded honestly, "What the old lady said is exactly what I have in mind."
The old lady was choked by Su Nianyun, but Mother Wen answered next to her, "Princess, how can you be so selfish?"
"When you marry into the Chen family, you become a member of the Chen family. People often say that when everything is prosperous, everything will be prosperous and when there is loss, everything will suffer. You should think more about the Chen family."
"Why didn't I think about the Chen family? You pledged the shop to me. I knew that the business of the shop was not good, so I only collected the profits of the shop as interest. I shouldn't be able to collect much of this money."
"But I just changed the layout of the shop and attracted some customers who were watching the fun. You think I made money and took the shop back in a hurry..."
"I see, the one who doesn't treat me as a family member is simply the old lady."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have known about Zhou Yao's existence until the child was almost one year old!"
The old lady and Wen's mother were stunned by Su Nianyun.
Su Nianyun stood up and yawned lazily, "I'm tired and have to go back to rest."
"Whenever the old lady feels that she can hand over the money to me, I will think of ways to save the shop."
"Su Nianyun, I haven't told you to leave yet!" the old lady said angrily.
Su Nianyun seemed not to have heard anything and went directly back to Tingfeng Courtyard.
"Bastard!" The old lady picked up the thing in her hand and was about to throw it out angrily.
"Old Madam!" Wen's mother hurriedly called to her, "You can't smash this."
Realizing that it was the jar of facial oil used by the Queen Mother, the old lady finally put it down gently.
She said harshly to Bai He, "She said I applied too little, please apply more for me today!"
After all, she still cares about her face.
When Su Nianyun returned to Tingfeng Courtyard, Chunhua and Xia Yue had already found an excuse for not cleaning up properly and gave Dangui a severe punishment.
Su Nianyun, who didn't sleep well last night, lay on her comfortable and soft bed and fell asleep again.
At the same time, Xiao Changfeng, who was staying in Sujiacun, opened his eyes.
Just like Su Nianyun yesterday, he also woke up to the familiar sounds of shepherds and horses.
"Master, you're awake!" Xiao Han came to Xiao Changfeng's side.
He thought that his master was pretending to be drunk last night, but he was actually doing something else during the night. He didn't expect that his master was really drunk.
"Master, are you feeling well?"
He suspected that there was something wrong with the wine in Sujiacun.
Otherwise, given that the injuries my master received on the battlefield were no less serious than today, but he still went to the battlefield drinking strong alcohol from a large bowl, the master last night was not like the usual master.
Little did he know that his master was not always in high spirits and had times when he could relax.
For example, in the warm atmosphere surrounding the Su family, he completely relaxed.
Xiao Changfeng looked around and saw Su Cheng riding a horse in the racecourse, but his son and several followers were not seen.
"Master, are you looking for Su Ming and the others?"
Xiao Han roughly knew who his master was looking for when his eyes wandered around the racecourse.
"Su Ming and others escorted Princess Nianyun back to Beijing early in the morning."
"Su Nianyun has returned to the capital?" Xiao Changfeng was a little surprised, "Didn't she just get together with her clan members? I heard that she has only been here for two days, so she shouldn't be returning to the capital so early, right?"
"Master," Xiao Han said, "I feel that this Princess Nianyun has been acting weird since the Queen Mother granted her another marriage."
For some reason, he always felt as if she was hiding from her master on purpose.
"Strange, how strange?"
Xiao Changfeng didn't know Su Nianyun at all.
He just complied with the Queen Mother's wishes and gave Su Nianyun a place to stay.
She takes the initiative to refuse, and everyone gets the best of both worlds.
Xiao Changfeng didn't find anything strange.
"master……"
Xiao Han looked at the indifferent master and was very puzzled.
"Since you are not here for this princess, then what is your purpose in coming to Sujia Village?"
He drank wine, ate meat, and slept well in Sujia Village. This way, Princess Nianyun would not misunderstand that he was here for her, and probably no one would believe him.
Unexpectedly, the master did not answer his question at all, but came to Su Cheng.
"Commander Su, can I ask you a question?"
Su Cheng got off the horse and handed the horse to other tribesmen.
"Xiaohou, you're awake. Is there anything Su Cheng can help with?"
