"It's okay, I'm just thinking about something."
Lin Mengya thought for a while and decided to research the antidote first.
If this damn guy refused to drink the medicine, she would have to drink it too.
"How is the Sanjue Hall thing going with you and Yunzhu?"
Lin Mengya thought for a while and decided to ask about Sanjuetang.
After all, this is her retreat.
"Yunzhu is very capable and has recruited a lot of people now. These are just some of them, and some of them need to be eliminated."
When it comes to management, Qinghu's methods are actually not as good as Yunzhu's.
But his martial arts were enough to scare those people in the world.
Yunzhu covered her face, and everyone just thought she was an old woman.
But he just sat in the room, extremely bored.
"Yes, that's right. Sanjue Hall only accepts the best of the best."
Lin Mengya took the tea on the table, took a slight sip and said.
"By the way, girl, when you gather these people, you can't keep them in vain. You have to do something to make a living. How about we also do some killer business?"
He rolled his eyes at Qinghu angrily. Could it be that he wanted to create a second Taohuawu
"On the surface, Sanjuetang is a pharmacy, so these people, some of whom are tired of the world, can go to various places to collect medicines. But secretly, I hope that Sanjuetang can become an intelligence gathering and distribution center."
Lin Mengya understood that in fact, the so-called Jianghu, intelligence is the most important.
Whether you are seeking revenge, repaying a favor, or being a charlatan, the first thing you need to do is to familiarize yourself with the information.
She has analyzed that the reason why there was no information in ancient times was because transportation was not as developed as it is in modern times.
Therefore, as long as she can grasp the first-hand information, she will have the upper hand.
Being a Jianghu Baixiaosheng sounds like a good choice.
"Okay, this matter is settled."
Qing Hu also agreed very much. Lin Mengya was smart and used the pharmacy as a cover so no one would suspect anything.
Moreover, her poison skills are superb, and I believe she will soon become famous in the world.
For detoxification, many special medicinal materials will definitely be used. Naturally, it would be logical if her people searched for medicinal materials all over the country.
"Um."
Lin Mengya nodded. The injury on her hand was almost healed.
Fortunately, Jiang Ruqin, an idiot, has been running around in the house these days.
Otherwise, where would she find the time to recuperate with peace of mind.
Jiang Ruqin managed to hold on for three days, and then took the initiative to bring people to Lin Mengya's yard to admit her mistake.
Unfortunately, Lin Mengya refused to open the door for her because she was feeling unwell.
Moreover, Prince Yu's Mansion has become a mess these days.
Even eating three meals a day has become difficult.
Now, except for Liuxinyuan, everything is still as usual, Qinwuyuan and Yaxuan are about to run out of food.
Frowning, Concubine De looked at the table of cold dishes in front of her with a little anger in her eyes.
"Is this the food your butler gives me? You can't treat me like a mule!"
Jiang Ruqin suddenly knelt down and cried aggrievedly:
"Aunt, this is all Lin Mengya's fault. These days, the family doesn't even have money to buy meat. They can only eat cucumbers, water, radishes and the like."
Speaking of this matter, Jiang Ruqin was really aggrieved.
She didn't know that the royal family's food and meat money was paid every few days.
Last time, the servants’ monthly money was quite good.
But this time, Lin Mengya was not so kind and cleaned up the mess for her.
"Didn't you say that all the keys to the house are in your hand? Where is the money in the vault?"
Concubine De put down her chopsticks heavily and looked at the girl in front of her.
I thought that if she gave this girl the responsibility of being the head of the family, Lin Mengya would be more or less embarrassed.
But he didn't expect that the person who was deflated was himself.
"She said that there was no silver in the treasury. But I heard someone say that she actually moved all the money into her own treasury. Qin'er was so angry that she once went to beg for it. But she said , those are all her dowry and cannot be touched."
Jiang Ruqin said pitifully, "These are all done by Liu'er's feet."
She originally wanted to go to her aunt to complain, but unexpectedly, she was stopped by Liu'er.
It's better now, but my aunt must be even more angry.
He glanced at Liu'er and praised her.
Now, Lin Mengya is the unlucky one.
Auntie is not something Lin Mengya can handle.
"What are you talking about? It's unreasonable to go to Liuxinyuan. I want to see who gave her the courage to embezzle money from Prince Mo's palace!"
Concubine De stood up and took a large number of servants to Liuxinyuan.
As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I saw the servants walking towards Liuxinyuan carrying a stream of delicacies.
Everyone who had not eaten well for three days in a row could not help but swallow their saliva after smelling the aroma of food in the air.
"What a wicked daughter-in-law, she feeds her aunt that kind of pig food and eats it herself!"
Jiang Ruqin saw the opportunity and provoked her. Finally, she saw her aunt's face darken a bit as she wished.
"Empress De Fei has arrived—"
The accompanying eunuch stretched his neck and sang and shouted.
Maybe it was because he hadn't eaten well in the past few days, but his voice was a little weak and weak.
"Daughter-in-law, please give my regards to my mother-in-law."
Lin Mengya didn't look panicked at all, she looked like everything was business as usual, which made Jiang Ruqin grit her teeth.
"What a wonderful eldest lady of the Lin family. I want to ask you if you have moved all the money from the palace to the small treasury."
There was no foreshadowing. It must have been that Empress Dowager De was really disgusted, so she asked directly.
Lin Mengya obediently knelt in front of Concubine De and said:
"Indeed, the prince said that the silver bank is a bit old, so he asked me to move all the money to my small bank."
Seeing Lin Mengya admitting so happily, even De Fei and Jiang Ruqin were not expecting it.
Looking at Lin Mengya coldly, Empress Dowager De said:
"Just admit it. Now, hand over all the money in the bank."
Concubine De looked at Lin Mengya condescendingly and ordered coldly.
But Lin Mengya smiled and refused directly.
"Your Majesty, you are so forgetful. You said a while ago that the bank is of great importance. Even you have to take out your seal and merge it with the prince's seal before I can move out the money. My daughter-in-law fulfills her duties and does not dare to do anything. I forgot my mother-in-law’s instructions. If my mother-in-law insists on taking out the money, bring me a sealed letter, and my daughter-in-law will definitely not miss a penny."
Lin Mengya counterattacked an entire army, leaving Concubine De speechless.
Only then did she remember that she had indeed said this sentence a while ago.
But he didn't expect that now, he would be directly used by Lin Mengya.
"Okay, then I will ask you to bring it to me. Jingyue, bring me my seal."
But Aunt Jingyue on the side lay in Empress De Fei's ear with some embarrassment and muttered for a while.
"What did you say?"
Empress De Fei frowned and looked at Jingyue.
"Reply to your Majesty, this seal has not been seen by this servant since I left the palace."
Now, not to mention Lin Mengya, even De Fei's expression became very exciting.
Without the seal, if she forced Lin Mengya to hand over the treasure, it would appear that she had broken her promise.
Now, she also regrets saying these things in public.
"You - you did the right thing. You can remember everything I said. Qin'er, please give the housekeeper's keys and account books to your cousin."
Things take a turn for the worse.
No one expected that Jiang Ruqin would have to return it to the princess again after only taking it over for a few days.
"Aunt, I—"
If it is in private, it will be returned.
But with everyone seeing it, Jiang Ruqin felt that she couldn't save face.
"I told you to return it to your cousin, can't you hear me?"
Jiang Ruqin didn't expect that her aunt would turn against her.
He looked at Lin Mengya with big eyes and resentment, as if he wanted to eat her.
"Okay, Liu'er, return all the things to my cousin."
The words she spoke through gritted teeth were enough to prove the anger in her heart.
"Cousin, put these things away, don't lose them."
Bai Shao also stepped forward to accept it. Everyone knew that Jiang Ruqin was completely defeated in this housekeeper battle.
However, Lin Mengya did not act arrogantly when she gained power. Instead, she took the thing from Bai Shao's hand and said sincerely:
"It's not easy to be a housekeeper, and it's not easy to be a householder either. My daughter-in-law knows that she is young and ignorant, so she asked her mother-in-law to take these things back."
No one expected that Lin Mengya would push out again.
But only Concubine De knew that this was Lin Mengya's protest.
The power of the housekeeper was taken back as soon as she said it would be taken back.
He didn't discuss it with Lin Mengya at all, and he didn't care about her feelings.
That's why this guy has such a rebound behavior.
Moreover, what she is doing now is to look around and see that there is no available housekeeper.
Concubine De was in a dilemma, but Lin Mengya had a clear attitude.
"You girl, why are you doing this?"
Although I already hate Lin Mengya deeply in my heart.
But Concubine De's face suddenly softened.
He helped Lin Mengya up with his own hands, looked at her lovingly, and said:
"We are all a family. What does a family say? The reason why I asked Qin'er to learn to take charge of the family business is not to help you? It's just that Qin'er's impetuous girl, so she broke into Woe, as a cousin-in-law, you have to take more care of me."
Everyone can see that, Concubine De, she has to say soft words for the time being.
Lin Mengya is not a soft persimmon. If you want to pinch her, she will have to break a few fingers sooner or later.
If she continues to be pretentious, Concubine De will lose her patience.
Lin Mengya took advantage of the situation and smiled modestly.
"What are you talking about, mother and concubine? Anyway, Miss Jiang is also a relative of our family. Of course, I won't care about it. Mother and concubine, don't worry."
