Cui Fu hesitated for a while, but when he thought of the purpose of his trip, his eyes were firm and he immediately said: "Back to the young master, I initially took orders from Aunt Liu. I have been doing things for Aunt Liu before, but Aunt Liu trusts Shopkeeper Cai more." , she doesn’t value me."

"A good bird chooses a tree to roost in. I think I have some skills, so naturally I am not willing to succumb to others. What's more, the person I succumb to is Shopkeeper Cai. He doesn't have much skills. He only knows how to speak glibly. He only steals women and plays tricks. Except for flowers, he is inferior to me in every aspect."

There was ambition in Cui Fu's eyes.

Shen Xinyue could see that Cui Fu wanted to achieve something.

Perhaps Cui Fu was not a child of an ordinary common people. He had received a good education and read books, which ordinary people could not afford.

Cui Fu probably encountered changes in his family and got to know Aunt Liu, or was favored by Aunt Liu, so he agreed to work for Aunt Liu. However, Aunt Liu didn't trust him very much, so she only asked him to do one. A boy, not a shopkeeper.

Cui Fu is an ambitious man, and he will not be willing to be a servant for the rest of his life, which is why he came to surrender to Shen Xinyue today.

It's just that Shen Xinyue doesn't trust him enough. How could he betray Aunt Liu and take refuge with him for no reason?

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, her strength is not as good as Aunt Liu.

"Cui Fu, then you came to me to surrender, what is your purpose?" Shen Xinyue's slender fingers tapped the table repeatedly, thoughtfully, "If you don't have a purpose, you can't come to me to surrender." .”

"Master, of course I have a purpose." Cui Fu nodded and confided his thoughts to Shen Xinyue. "A good bird is waiting for a long time. Since Aunt Liu can't discover my talent, of course I can I will go to the young master and let him discover my potential."

When Cui Fu said this, his eyes were filled with ambition and confidence. He was very confident in his abilities.

Shen Xinyue looked at Cui Fu carefully, but found that he was very frank and never evaded her scrutiny.

From this point of view, Cui Fu is indeed a good seedling. As long as he is cultivated and loyal enough, Cui Fu can become Shen Xinyue's first confidant when doing business outside.

"So, do you think I can see your ability? Even the shrewd Aunt Liu didn't see it. You are so confident. Can I see it?" Shen Xinyue smiled half-heartedly, with a hint of trepidation in her eyes. Wu's smile was not concealed, and the whole person looked a bit wanton and lazy.

She leaned against the bed and raised her hand slightly, and Si Qi immediately made Shen Xinyue a cup of hot tea.

Shen Xinyue smelled the tea and took a sip.

Cui Fu saw it in his eyes, and he also understood that this was Shen Xinyue giving himself a test. Whether he could pass it or not would depend on how big the bargaining chip he gave him.

"Master, there is another account book here, which I compiled myself. It contains all the evidence that Aunt Liu and Shopkeeper Cai have colluded to enrich themselves in the past few years." Cui Fu took out a new account book, which also contained several The envelope is a little different from the account book Cui Fu took out at the beginning, and is smaller.

This account book is what Cui Fu prepared for himself, the real bargaining chip!

If there was only the true account book that Shopkeeper Cai used to make money, Shen Xinyue would definitely not be able to completely trust him, and she would definitely have doubts about his surrender. In this case, his future actions would be more restricted.

But with this account book, everything will be different.

This was compiled by Cui Fu himself, all the evidence he had investigated during this period.

"Let me first see if the evidence you collected is worth it."

Shen Xinyue took the account book from Cui Fu and looked through it.

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

Now Shen Xinyue completely understood why in such an important place in the capital, the Shen family's business was not only unprofitable, but also became one of the few loss-making stores of the Shen family.

You must know that among the Shen family's many stores, only a few of them in the worst locations have losses, and most of the time, the losses are very small. In some special times, they can still make profits.

Only this one in Beijing

The restaurant has always been in a state of loss, let alone profit, there has never been a time when it was not losing money!

All this is because Aunt Liu and Shopkeeper Cai have been making false accounts!

This money, except for the fractions used by shopkeeper Cai to manage the boys, all the rest went into his and Aunt Liu's pockets!

No wonder Aunt Liu has been spending money lavishly in the Shen Mansion! In addition, Shen Chusheng gave her a lot of money, and Aunt Liu's life in Jiangnan is much better than that of many other wives!

In the capital, Aunt Liu's life is considered to be top-notch among the royal wives!

There was a faint anger burning in Shen Xinyue's heart. The one who originally enjoyed such a life was her mother Song Ruyu!

This restaurant is Song Ruyu’s dowry!

Shen Xinyue continued to look through the account books, which contained not only the restaurant's real daily revenue, but also every expense incurred by Shopkeeper Cai, as well as how much money he and Aunt Liu each received.

In addition, there is evidence of correspondence between Aunt Liu and Shopkeeper Cai, as well as the address and password of the person they contacted when sending money.

However, if it weren't for the fact that this restaurant in the capital had been losing money, Shen Chusheng would not have been able to let Shen Wangchi come here and take over the business here.

How ridiculous.

Shen Chusheng wanted to assign Shen Wangchi to the worst shop in the Shen family, so that he could pave the way for Shen Yuefei, but he didn't expect that Aunt Liu had done something here, and most of the money in the restaurant went into Aunt Liu's pocket!

This can be regarded as self-defeating by Aunt Liu. If Aunt Liu had not enriched herself, it would not have been possible for Shen Wangchi to return to the restaurant that originally belonged to Song Ruyu.

but……

Shen Xinyue's eyes were slightly narrowed, and all her emotions were hidden in her heart. Cui Fu could not see through Shen Xinyue's thoughts.

Shen Xinyue secretly planned in her heart.

This makes sense why Shen Wangchi was sent to a place that Shen Chusheng thought was the worst, which made Aunt Liu panic and send people to assassinate her.

Aunt Liu was worried that Shen Wangchi would find out what she and Shopkeeper Cai had done. If Shen Wangchi told Shen Chusheng about this, she would not be in danger of her life, but she would definitely lose Shen Chusheng's favor!

And once she loses Shen Chusheng's favor, those people she offended will come to deal with her, and even Shen Chusheng will help to step on her!

This is not a result she can accept.

So in Aunt Liu's eyes, Shen Wangchi must die.

It all makes sense!

Shen Xinyue understood and all her doubts were explained.

Seeing Shen Xinyue closing the account book, Cui Fu understood that his surrender order had come to fruition.

"Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu, I didn't expect that you had made so many careful calculations, but it was self-defeating. In order to hide this matter, you even hired robbers, but nothing was done." Shen Xinyue mocked.

"Master, what are your plans next? What do you need me to do?" Cui Fu asked the question in a timely manner to show his loyalty.

Shen Xinyue saw that he already wanted to do things for her, and after thinking about it, she didn't have anyone she could use, so she could really use Cui Fu first.

However, she wouldn't trust him too much. She still needed to investigate for a while to fully understand Cui Fu's character.

Shen Xinyue did not reveal her inner thoughts, but said slowly: "These days, you can be the shopkeeper with peace of mind. The restaurant's profits have increased, and you will inevitably get the benefits. If you do well, I will also promote you in the future. You I will also give you a place to display your ambition."

"Cui Fu thanks the young master for his kindness. If the young master had not allowed me to be the shopkeeper yesterday, Cui Fu would not have had the opportunity to repay the young master and take refuge in the young master." Cui Fu thanked him. He bowed and saluted, with gratitude in his eyes. Seems like a fake.

Shen Xinyue was willing to use him, so she naturally believed Cui Fu's words.

Cui Fu knew this very well.

However, his surrender was just a move. In addition, he had another purpose in coming here to find Shen Xinyue today.

According to rumors, neither Shen Xinyue nor Shen Wangchi is very popular.

A capable person, or in other words, under the operation of Aunt Liu, in the eyes of outsiders, Shen Wangchi is a weak nerd, and Shen Xinyue is a useless idiot.

But after these two days of contact, Cui Fu felt that the rumors were not true. But if he wanted to completely follow Shen Xinyue, he also needed to see what this person was capable of.

"Master, I have another piece of news." Cui Fu said.

"Oh? Tell me." Shen Xinyue became interested. She already knew everything she wanted to know and had the evidence.

I originally thought this was all, but there was an unexpected surprise.

Cui Fu cleared his throat, organized his words, and then said: "A batch of medicinal materials will be shipped to the capital in the near future. In addition to the restaurant, the Shen family actually has a medicine shop in the capital. But the medicine shop is full of Aunt Liu's people, and the medicinal materials are Aunt Liu’s people have always been responsible for the purchasing.”

"Drug shop?" Shen Xinyue's eyes showed confusion.

She originally thought that Shen Wangchi came to the capital just to take over the restaurant, but she didn't expect that Song Ruyu's family even had a pharmacy.

This matter has never been mentioned by the Shen family.

Thinking about it, it was Aunt Liu who suppressed the news, which led to the fact that neither Shen Wangchi nor the original person knew about it.

Song Ruyu, on the other hand, has a weak temperament and feels that she has married Shen Chusheng. The two shops have become the property of the Shen family, so they will never mention them to the outside world.

Only then did Aunt Liu take advantage of the loophole.

"Yes, a drug store. Only shopkeeper Cai and Aunt Liu know about the existence of this drug store. Even Mr. Shen has forgotten the existence of the drug store in the past few years." Cui Fu replied.

Shen Xinyue thought for a while: "Since you told me this news, it means that the things behind the drug store are not simple."

"Of course. Although the drug store belongs to Aunt Liu, as the shopkeeper of the restaurant, I am in charge of everything in the drug shop. I went to the drug shop with Shopkeeper Cai before, and the people there also know me."

"Moreover, they also knew that they were aiding the evil deeds, but they took Aunt Liu's money and never made it public. Even Shen Chusheng, they hid it."

Shen Xinyue pondered, she had already guessed what Cui Fu wanted to say.

"Master, the quality of the medicinal materials collected in the drug store is always not good, and there are often shortages of jins and liang, so it is difficult to sell the medicinal materials we receive. And the money given to us to purchase the medicinal materials has been used by Aunt Liu. After swallowing a lot, we can’t receive any good medicinal materials, and we can’t sell the ones in the warehouse.”

"If the young master can personally inspect and accept the medicinal materials, I think they will not dare to fool our pharmacy anymore."

When Cui Fu spoke, he wanted Shen Xinyue to go over in person to check and accept it, as if as long as Shen Xinyue passed by, the problem of the drug store would be solved.

"What you mean is that the person who provided us with the medicinal materials actually had a deal with Aunt Liu, so the business of the medicine shop has always been losing money, and it has even been so bad that Shen Chusheng is unwilling to mention the existence of the medicine shop."

Shen Xinyue understood immediately.
