Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 22 I did it

Ling Ruoli did not return home, but went to the teahouse. After the teahouse was renovated, the open space in the backyard was very large, and with several rooms, it now looked presentable.

She then asked people to start working on the plan she had designed earlier.

I have been hiding in the teahouse for half a month now. In three days, it will be an auspicious day and the teahouse can be open for business.

Seeing that the business was finally on track, Ling Ruoli finally put his mind at ease. He handed over the rest of the work to Uncle Chen and went home.

Ling Ruoli had a lot of thoughts along the way. Although she did not go back, she put some of the accounts she collected on her father's desk. Perhaps the second aunt felt that Ling Ruoli, a pampered lady, naturally did not understand, and she made false accounts when her father wanted to provide relief to the victims. In this way, the loss of the store would be blamed on her, which was really hateful.

After the carriage stopped, Ling Ruoli felt a little nervous.

As soon as she entered the yard, she heard a curse coming from not far away. Before she saw the person, she heard the voice first, "Ling Ruoli, you are so powerful!"

It was the fifth and sixth aunts, who were only five or six years older than her. They usually followed the second aunt Jiang Yueqing. The fact that they dared to treat Ling Ruoli like this must have been instructed by the second aunt. Her father had just punished her by making her face the wall for half a year, and that was the punishment.

"Hello, two aunts. Ruoli just came back, and you came to greet her in person. Ruoli is a little flattered."

"I never thought you were so vicious and wanted to murder your second aunt."

"I have never treated you badly, I never thought you were so heartless."

"If you have a conscience, please ask the master to let my sister go."

Now the second concubine who is in charge of the mansion has been locked up in the Buddhist temple, and her mother Lin's place has been taken. Her mother is in charge of all matters now. What are these two people thinking? They are uncomfortable coming to her.

Ling Ruoli tilted her head and said, "My two aunts are so tongue-twisting. If there's nothing else, I'll leave."

"Stop!" They were stopped by the servants and did not follow.

She didn't go to see her mother until she was called by her father. Her two aunts ran to the study to complain before her.

As soon as Ling Ruoli arrived at the place, she heard the delicate crying sounds and heard her aunt complaining that Ling Ruoli did not take them seriously.

"Father" Ling Ruoli ignored the two men and asked, "What do you want to call Ruoli for?"

Seeing the two crying and feeling annoyed, Ling Rui asked them to leave.

"I haven't been home for half a month, but I'm angry with my father"

"Ruoli dare not"

"There are still things you dare not do," he said, "Now the two stores are losing money, and Jiang's behavior is abominable. I will punish her by making her repent for half a year."

"Oh"

"The deficit of the two stores is barely covered. Since you are in charge, I will give you the account book."

Ling Ruoli did not take it until Ling Ruiyi told her that she could go to the accounting office every month to withdraw 100 taels of silver for her use. She took it without hesitation.

"Father, you can't regret it"

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond," Ling Rui said, "I heard that you have opened a porridge shop outside the city for more than half a month."

“That’s true.”

"My father wanted to do the same thing at the beginning, but he didn't expect that the porridge shop was not set up and the medicinal materials in the medicine shop were sold at a high price."

Seeing her father's regret, Ling Ruoli said, "Father, don't worry about this. It's been more than half a month. Are the people in the court doing anything but embroidering? There's nothing else to do except build ten porridge stalls."

Ling Rui sighed when he mentioned this. This year was supposed to be a year of bumper harvest, but unexpectedly there was a flood in Linjiang that was even more serious than ever before. The waterproof dam collapsed and houses were destroyed.

"It really depends on God's mood," Ling Ruoli sighed, "but all the hard work throughout the year has been in vain. There is no way to completely solve the flooding in Linjiang River."

"It must be that the river embankment is not strong enough. We have sent flood control personnel to the area."

"That's good." After a pause, he said, "The king hasn't reinstated you yet?"

“It’s a relief now that I’m not an official.”

Seeing her father's wry smile, Ling Ruoli must have been dissatisfied, so she comforted him with a few words and left.
