"Look at you, when your temper comes up, you are as stubborn as your mother." The old lady glared at Xiao Ziran, "I thought about it afterwards, and my grandmother was also wrong about this matter. If I tell you well, you have always Smart, you won't understand."

Xiao Ziran smiled, but didn't speak.

"It's done. I came here today to tell you. I've already ordered you to go out and see if the Xiao family's shops are working. But I asked the shopkeepers to prepare all the books. It's better if they come to you with the ledger than if you don't know anything."

"Then thank you grandma." Xiao Ziran smiled and nodded in response.

Seeing this, the old lady finally forced a smile on her face, "Well, you are so good, we are all a family, these trivial things are not worth thanking."

The old lady dragged Xiao Ziran to chat with each other, and then let her go.

As soon as Xiao Ziran left, Nanny Gu came in with a bowl of bird's nest, "Madam, please eat something first."

"En." After taking it, the old lady stirred the bird's nest in the bowl, and asked, "Have you ordered all the things about the shops outside?"

"Old lady, don't worry, your instructions have been given verbatim."

Hearing this, the old lady nodded, "Master, you've been so desperate these past few years, that you still want to seize power from me? Huh? If she really has that ability, so what if I just let her?"

"I am useless, and the daughter I teach is also stupid."

"Forget it, give sister Ran a little bit of sweetness, and let the elders see it. Be right with me. I have something that she regrets, and also suppresses her arrogance."

Is this trying to overwhelm the lady with the cousin?

However, Nanny Gu didn't dare to intervene, she just kept a thought in her heart.

Besides, Xiao Ziran, who had left Rong Le Tang, had just returned to Xiyuan when he got the news that all shopkeepers had arrived.

Across a curtain, Xiao Ziran met with a few of them briefly, flipping through the ledgers they sent, and asked a few questions casually, but after a few questions, the shopkeepers fooled everything they could. Yes, there is no truth.

Xiao Ziran snorted coldly in his heart, come on, she knew it.

How could the old lady be so kind to send people to her? I'm afraid these people have become her people, right?

In fact, Xiao Ziran really misunderstood the old lady. Although the account book was newly made, the old lady had already asked them to take it seriously when asking questions.

I don't want these shopkeepers to obviously think that a young lady like Xiao Ziran is just a whim, and to play a young lady's temper depends on looking at the account book, let alone answering her questions seriously, even the account book is made at will. As long as you use a little thought, you can recognize it at a glance.

To put it bluntly, it was nothing more than fooling her into not understanding.

Seeing that he couldn't find out why, Xiao Ziran simply gave up and asked Xiaoyu to send him out, so he focused on the ledger.

The account books of all the shops of the Xiao family in Bianjing City in recent years are not small. Xiao Ziran wants to look through them, so naturally he doesn't want other things to disturb her.

In Xiyuan's study room, the window was slightly opened, and a soft wind came in, caressing Xiao Ziran's face.

Xiao Ziran, who was drawing circles with a brush, had a sad face and kept sighing.

"Miss, you can take a break, this servant will cook you a bowl of sweet soup." Xiao Yu wanted Xiao Ziran to relax a little.

"I don't have much appetite either, so don't bother me." Xiao Ziran fell heavily on the back of the chair and exhaled.

"Why don't you go back to your room and have a rest." Xiaoyu knew that Xiao Ziran had a lot of troubles in recent days, and his heart must be in a mess.

"Alright." Xiao Ziran stood up, the books on the table were piled full, and she didn't bother to tidy them up, "Let's go, go back to the room."

But as soon as he got out of the study, Xiao Ziran changed his mind when he saw that the weather outside was fine, and went straight to the stone table in the yard, beckoning to Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, come here, sit here."

With round eyes open, Xiao Yu sat down next to Xiao Ziran suspiciously, a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, do I look like I'm going to eat you?" When Xiao Ziran said this, both of them laughed.Since entering Gu's mansion, only Xiaoyu has treated her sincerely.

"I heard that Gu Yuanshan made things difficult for you?" Xiao Ziran was also very well informed, and felt sorry for the innocent girl in front of him.

"It's okay, I'm afraid I won't hurt the young lady." Xiaoyu smiled indifferently.For Xiaoyu, in this complicated Gu residence, it is lucky that her master is someone who can protect her.

"If someone bullies you in the future, you tell me, and I will make the decision for you." Xiao Ziran said firmly.

"Thank you..." Xiaoyu murmured, and after realizing it, he said, "Miss Xie." His voice was choked with sobs.

Indeed, it seems that many pairs of eyes are fixed on Xiao Ziran in recent days, every gesture will cause a disturbance.Not only did it make me very irritable, but it also caused Xiaoyu to be targeted, so Xiao Ziran decided to pretend to be sick for a while to avoid the limelight.

"Xiaoyu, during this period of time you announced that I was sick, and then went to make me two soups every day to avoid suspicion from others. I want to stay in the yard for a few days." Xiao Ziran ordered.

"Okay, miss. Xiaoyu understands."

Everyone in the backyard heard that Xiao Zi was sick, and they were all happy to hear it.

Inside Gu Yuanqing's room.

"Is she sick? Is her body so delicate?" Gu Yuanqing said to the maid standing beside her while trimming the flowers and plants.

"This news is spreading in Gu's house now. As for whether she is sick, the servant does not know." This girl is Gu Yuanqing's confidant, so she naturally understands what she is thinking.

"In that case, let's go and have a look." Gu Yuanqing smiled charmingly, "Take the deer antler that my father gave you earlier, and let's go to Xiyuan to visit her."

"Miss...this velvet antler is top grade..." the servant girl whispered.

"Go if you want." Gu Yuanqing has never been a petty person, and in order to achieve his goal, he has never been stingy with these external things.

In order to confirm whether Xiao Ziran was really ill, Gu Yuanqing came to Xiyuan with a maid and the best velvet antler.

"cousin."

The person shouted at the gate, and Xiao Ziran, who was hiding in the room, heard the voice and rolled his eyes angrily, "I can't hide no matter what!"

While complaining in a low voice, she jumped onto the bed at an extremely fast speed, and covered her with two thick quilts.

Although it is fake, it is appropriate to pretend.

"Come in." Xiao Ziran pretended to be weak.

Gu Yuanqing opened the door and came in, looked at Xiao Ziran suspiciously, in order to confirm whether she was really uncomfortable, Gu Yuanqing walked forward slowly.

"Cough cough cough..." Xiao Ziran coughed immediately.
