The concubine doesn't fall in love, but crazy critics insist on holding her responsible

Lin Zhiyu was not a hypocritical person. Since he decided to use Xiao Xuan, he immediately withdrew the pursuit plan and instead concentrated manpower and material resources to find Jiang Chongan.

It can be said that Lin Zhiyu did this for herself. She didn't want to die, let alone die in Xiao Xuan's hands. She had to find a way to prevent or eradicate the living poison before Xiao Xuan laid the poison.

It was a sunny day, and Lin Zhiyu planned to find a few new shops to prepare for the unexpected need for business relocation.

Standing in front of a busy street, the master and servant were in trouble for a moment.

The prices posted on this list far exceeded Lin Zhiyu's budget.

Lin Zhiyu is not short of money, so he can spend a lot of money lavishly, but in business, there is always a cost balance, so lavish spending loses the meaning of doing business.

"There are eight alleys here, each with twenty shops. Let's hurry up. We should be able to find a suitable one within two days."

Lan Sheng looked at the alley, wondering which one to start with.

Lin Zhiyu smiled and said, "No need to go to such trouble."

Lansheng, Xia and Chun looked over at the same time.

"Miss, do you need help?"

Didn’t he say that they had to do it themselves this time?

"It's like asking for help, but it's not what you think."

Xia Chun pricked up her ears to listen. When she first saw the young lady, she felt that the young lady was not an ordinary person. After getting along with her later, she was indeed right.

Lin Zhiyu didn't show off and said bluntly: "In this case, you go find a man from Zhuangzhaiya and tell him that we have several shops for sale on this street and ask him about the price."

"But we don't have a shop to sell."

They came to buy a shop.

It took Xia Chun a while to understand.

Xia Chun has always been smart. Lin Zhiyu smiled knowingly when he saw that she understood.

In order to prevent Xia Chun from getting distracted, Lin Zhiyu explained again, "You reveal to Zhuangzhaiya that you have a shop for sale, and express your desire to sell it as soon as possible. Then he will tell you everything about the market situation in the area." listen."

"Which street has more people but less people, is it easy to do business, and the relationship between neighbors is good or bad... To tempt you to lower the price, you don't have to argue with him, just listen to what he says, pretend to be an amateur and write it down. .”

Xia Chun nodded, thinking it was feasible.

"Lansheng, are you with her?"

Lan Sheng was worried that his master was here alone, "Let's go to Xia Chun and take this opportunity to try it out."

After so long, Lan Sheng has let go of his wariness towards Xia Chun.

Lin Zhiyu didn't say much.

After Xia Chun left, Lin Zhiyu checked the account book in his restaurant.

Lan Sheng stood quietly aside, giving Lin Zhiyu some hot tea from time to time.

Lan Sheng was not optimistic about Lin Zhiyu's business venture at first, not only because it was a thankless job, but it would also damage Lin Zhiyu's reputation.

However, the profits of several stores in succession have soared under Lin Zhiyu's management. Lan Sheng couldn't say anything about this talent, but he felt a sense of pride and grew unconsciously.

Lin Zhiyu ordered these shops from the Shen family and did not announce them to the outside world. She was only allowed to be the boss behind the scenes.

When Lin Zhiyu first took over, the store's financial performance was not good and it was almost unable to make ends meet. Shen originally planned to leave it to Lin Zhiyu to pass the time, but she unexpectedly came back to life.

Lin Zhiyu had a tight grasp on the accounts, and she had her own set of verification methods, so her subordinates had no room for manipulation, and the accounts could be checked very quickly.

After checking one house, switch to another.

But before Lin Zhiyu walked out of the restaurant, he heard a burst of mocking laughter coming from the back garden.

"Climb and crawl! You are a beggar now. A beggar should lie on the ground!"

"There is also a bowl. Raise this bowl to your head and ask me to reward you with money!"

"Say it! Say you are a stinky beggar on the street!"

"Idiot! If your brain is bad, your tongue is also bad?!"

"Would you like me to treat you?"

"Give him a piece of shit!"

Several dandy boys were bullying a young man. To be precise, a little beggar.

With unkempt long hair and patches of rags that could barely be called clothes to wrap around his body, the little beggar lay curled up on his side, covering his belly and enduring the pain.

The dandies were merciless, looking for places that were painful but not fatal, and watched the little beggar rolling on the ground with his twisted expression and moaning in pain.

The little beggar finally got up and hid in pain. Seeing this, the beggars behind him became more and more energetic and pursued him. They even picked up stones on the ground and kept throwing them away.

This scene reminded Lin Zhiyu of his past life.

She has also been down and out.

After Lin and Chen's family fell into the hands of the second house, out of the desire to suppress her, the second house sent people to secretly embarrass her more than once.

At that time, she and Xiao Xuan were not as deeply connected as they would be later, so he didn't ask much about her affairs, or maybe he knew her difficulties and chose to ignore them and remain indifferent.

Lin Zhiyu was also hit with stones.

Children often have more vicious hearts than adults, do not accept the restraints of etiquette and rules, and are often labeled as ignorant and unscrupulous.

The blatant humiliation, the helplessness of empathy, the longing for salvation and protection... The complex emotions gave birth to a wave of pity, which accurately fell into Lin Zhiyu's heart.

Just think of it as saving your past self.

"Lansheng."

"Miss?" Lan Sheng took a step forward.

"Go and help him."

Lan Sheng had been prepared since Lin Zhiyu stopped and looked at the little beggar.

"No need to do anything more, just drive away the troublemakers."

Lan Sheng agreed.

After taking a few steps, Lin Zhiyu stopped her again, "Give him some money."

Lan Sheng turned around and smiled, "Don't worry, Miss."

She understands what the lady is thinking.

Lan Sheng pretended to be in charge and kept some dandies under her control. She was born in the Marquis Mansion and was trained by Lin Zhiyu, so she was quite decent in training people.

Whether it was because of Lan Sheng's intimidation or for some other reason, the few dandy boys immediately dispersed as soon as Lan Sheng showed up, without any further embarrassment.

This surprised Lin Zhiyu. She had planned to step in if Lansheng couldn't handle her.

This would save her a lot of trouble.

The little beggar on the ground tried many times and finally got up. Fortunately, there were no obvious injuries on his body, except that his face was a little dirty and his hair was as messy as a bird's nest.

He was too inferior to look at anyone, so he asked Lan Sheng in a solemn voice: "Who are you..."

Seeing the little beggar's face clearly, Lan Sheng suddenly felt a pity that gold and jade had fallen into the mire.

It's a pity that he was born so good-looking, but it's a pity that he is a fool.

The little beggar's eyes and behavior were obviously inconsistent with his age, like a child.

Lan Sheng felt a little uncomfortable, but said: "Don't ask me who I am, just take the money and leave."

Sympathy is sympathy, Xia Chun's incident almost cost her all her savings, and the regret and self-blame caused by blind impulse made her hurt countless times during the night.

Lan Sheng would never make the same mistake again.

She refused to reveal a single word. What if she did and was pestered again?
Lan Sheng doesn't think that every poor person is like Xia Chun, smart and sensible, diligent and aware of rewards.

"Tell me who it is and I can repay you..."

"You don't need to do anything more. Taking the money and leaving as soon as possible is the best reward!"

After saying that, Lan forcefully put the money bag into the little beggar's hand and left quickly with the wind at her feet.

The little beggar was left alone, and he finally dared to raise his head and look inside, trying to find the owner of that pleasant voice.

But the man has long since disappeared, as if he never existed.
