Chapter 122
As soon as she entered the shop, Mrs. Chen mysteriously pulled Su Mei aside and whispered in her ear: "Zhen'er knows that Jiaying was seriously injured and unconscious, and she hasn't woken up yet!"

It has been four or five days since Liu Jiaying was beaten, and she still hasn't woken up. It seems that the injury is more serious than imagined.

Su Mei was startled, and quickly asked: "Is it really so serious?"

Mrs. Chen nodded, and said again: "I went back to my mother's house a few days ago, and I heard from my nephew that Xu Yuanshan was fine when he visited the hall, but he suddenly went crazy when he was in the bridal chamber, so he punched Liu Jiaying. Beating and kicking, the servants in the mansion know that Xu Yuanshan is insane, and they heard that if he goes crazy, he will chase and beat him, and he is the master, so the servants in the mansion dare not fight back. After the bride was sent to the bridal chamber, she returned to the courtyard, and I heard that Xu Yuanshan grabbed Liu Jiaying and beat her for two full hours, but no one came in to stop her."

Chen Shi talked about Liu Jiaying, but it seemed that she was talking about a stranger who had nothing to do with her. The more she talked, the more excited she became. Judging by her expression, she was still somewhat relieved.

For the past ten years, she has silently endured the bullying of He's mother and daughter for the sake of her daughter. Seeing them end up like this, she feels extremely happy in her heart, and the grievance and unwillingness she has suffered in her heart for many years has also been released.

Speaking of the excitement, she blushed, covered her mouth with a veil and coughed a few times, she shook Su Mei's hand, and said: "When Xu's parents arrived, Jiaying was covered in blood and fell on the ground. On the ground, there is only one breath left."

There was a smile on the corner of Chen's mouth. She had not been doing well these years. She and her daughter huddled in the courtyard and lacked food and clothing. She was clearly about the same age as He's, but there were wrinkles on her weather-beaten face. He was full of vicissitudes of life, tortured by illness, although he was only 40 years old, he could see the appearance of 60 years old.

When Su Mei heard about what happened to Liu Jiaying, she didn't feel happy and relieved. Instead, she wondered if her uncle could bear it if she saw Liu Jiaying like this.

Su Mei sighed softly and said, "Uncle went to Xu's house early this morning, and I don't know if I can bring my cousin back."

Chen sneered and said, "I can't pick it up!"

Su Mei slightly raised her eyebrows, and then asked: "Why?" In fact, she also knew that the Xu family had finally married a second son for their son, so how could she let it go easily? Can you let him go?

"I heard that the family has a relationship with the palace. Xu Yuanshan's father recognized the inner eunuch Huang in the palace as his adoptive father. That inner eunuch Huang can speak in front of the emperor."

In this way, Liu Jiaying's end was miserable, and she might have no hope in this life.

Mrs. Chen seemed to have thought of something again, and said again: "I heard that Xu's parents searched for famous doctors for Xu Yuanshan's madness, and his madness has improved over the years. I heard that he would go crazy that night in the bridal chamber. Because he was stimulated, he was sometimes sober, sometimes crazy, and he couldn't be called crazy."

Su Mei then understood that Liu Jiaying's savage temper must have angered Xu Yuanshan by her words, which caused him to have a sudden onset of madness.

Liu Jiaying is as arrogant as He's, and she can't tolerate others. She must have found out that she was cheated after she married into Xu's family. She couldn't accept that she married such a husband, so she yelled at her, and even called Xu Yuanshan a lunatic. , Xu Yuanshan went mad, so he punched and kicked her.

Liu Lingshan came in with the ledger to ask for advice, and Mrs. Chen went out, and she went to the shop outside to help.

Su Mei happened to have something to tell Liu Lingshan that Jin Chuan had prepared her favorite golden chrysanthemum and osmanthus tea. Su Mei ordered Jin Chuan to close the door and said to Liu Lingshan, "The Jinxiu workshop will open tomorrow. Both the Golden Pavilion and the Splendid Embroidery Workshop are entrusted to you and my aunt."

Liu Lingshan is hard-working, smart and flexible, she is the most suitable person to take over the two shops, at least she doesn't have to worry about the two shops falling into a loss again due to no one taking care of them after she leaves.

"How can I do that? I don't understand anything, I can't do it." Liu Lingshan refused again and again, she had only studied for half a month, and she still had a lot to learn from Su Mei.

She suddenly realized the meaning of Su Mei's words, so she asked in a low voice, "Cousin is leaving Yangzhou City?"

Su Mei nodded and said: "Exactly, I entrust this shop to you, so I can rest assured that I will not disappoint me. I have worked so hard for this shop. You are smart and hardworking. I can see that you will All my thoughts are on this shop, you are the first to come every day and the last to leave, I have decided that you are the most suitable person to manage these two shops."

Liu Lingshan was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes, she was so grateful, if her cousin hadn't agreed to let her help in the shop, she and her mother would have no place to live in Liu's house after being forced by He's mother and daughter.

Now that her mother's illness has improved, she still gets 20 taels of wages a month, and can save a lot of money by saving money. She and her mother try to do as much as possible to repay her cousin.

She couldn't feel her eyes were red, and moved tears rolled in her eyes. She knelt down in front of Su Mei, "Thank you cousin, if it weren't for cousin, my mother and I would not even be able to survive. I promised cousin, but the two shops I can't take a cent of the profit, no matter where my cousin goes in the future, no matter how far away, I will send the silver to my cousin."

Su Mei knew that Liu Lingshan had been well-bred since she was a child and would not take advantage of others at will, so she nodded and agreed, "That's fine, but I want to give you a salary increase, and you are not allowed to refuse, because you deserve it."

The two shops can earn several thousand taels of silver every month. After repeated refusals, Liu Lingshan accepted the wage increase from 20 taels to 200 taels.

The 200 taels of silver meant that the Liu family had dozens of shops, and when the business was at its peak, the amount of money that fell into Da Fang's hands was only 120 taels of silver every month.

Handing over the shop to someone who can rest assured, a big stone that weighed on Su Mei's heart finally fell.

In the past month, the shop of Liujin Pavilion has received several thousand taels of silver. Excluding the daily expenses and wages, besides the hundreds of taels spent on the opening of Jinxiufang, Su Mei also saved 3000 taels of silver bills. , The silver and the field shop brought out from the Qin family before were not moved much, and she kept a lot of silver on hand. She will not be afraid to go to the ends of the world.

"I want to leave, my cousin must keep it a secret for me, and don't mention it to anyone. In addition, I will need my cousin's help tomorrow."

Liu Lingshan quickly patted her chest and promised: "Cousin, don't worry, I will never say a word to anyone."

After leaving the Liujin Pavilion, Su Mei told Jin Chuan a few words, and took a carriage to Jiangzhai. She would not be able to escape tonight anyway. After tonight, she would leave quietly. This time, she would never let Jiang Ling found her again.

She secretly made up her mind in her heart, the carriage drove slowly, the closer she got to the Jiang residence, the more uneasy she felt.

After getting out of the carriage, she took a deep breath, then walked into Jiang's house and Pear Fragrance Garden.

All the pear blossoms in the garden had already bloomed, and the only few pear blossoms on the branches were incomplete. She used to like pear blossoms so much, and Jiang Ling like that.

But now her heart for Jiang Ling is like this branch of pear blossoms, all withered, she has no love for him.
