483 Background, Collecting the Shophouse (2)

With Ji Yunxi around, she could not let the spiritual liquid be exposed.

Mo Yuan nodded.

With Shen Ruyun’s child gone, it was another fatal blow to the Shen family. Shen Ruyun was clearly the one who courted death, but the Shen family thought that Shen Yijia had done something.

Not only did Shen Ruyun fall in front of everyone, but Shen Yijia also did not have the ability to attack Lord Jing’s residence.

!!

Actually, it wasn’t that they hadn’t thought of it. They were just willing to believe their own delusions.

Shen Yijia did not know that she had been blamed again, but even if she knew, she would not care.

After asking Madam Li, she brought Mo Yuan to collect the shop the next morning.

The title deed and house deed of the shop were in her hands, but the workers were all from the Chen family. The monthly profits would naturally be sent to the Shen family.

Without income, what was the use of those pieces of paper?

Back then, the Wang family’s business was extensive. However, their main business was not in the capital, but in Qingyang City east of the capital.

Shen Yijia took a look. She only had two shops in the capital. One was a cosmetics shop, and the other was a silk shop.

She did not intend to go to Qingyang City herself. She was prepared to let Pinellia and the others make a trip.

Moreover, she happened to need a shop to open a bookstore, so she naturally had to take back the two shops in the capital first.

The two shops were on a street behind Chang’an Avenue. A place in Chang’an Avenue could not be bought without background or money.

It was already very impressive for an ordinary merchant family to buy a shop near Chang’an Avenue.

Madam Wang had two under her name. It seemed that the Wang family was richer than everyone had imagined. Perhaps because they did not reveal their wealth, not many people knew this.

Shen Yijia went to the cosmetics shop first. The words “Jin Yuzhai” were especially eye-catching on the plaque. At this moment, a few customers were choosing in the shop.

There was a dazzling array of goods on the counter. Shen Yijia did not usually use these, so she was immediately dazzled.

The waiter who ran the hall had stayed in this shop for many years. He was familiar with most of the young ladies and madams in the capital.

Seeing that Shen Yijia was an unfamiliar face and was dressed ordinarily, the smile on her face immediately disappeared. “Take a look at what you want, but don’t touch it with your hands. You won’t be able to afford it if you break it.”

Shen Yijia was about to reach for an exquisitely carved wooden box when she paused and said with a straight face, “I’m not here to buy anything. I want to see the shopkeeper here.”

A look of disdain flashed across the shopkeeper’s face. “If you’re not buying anything, why are you looking at it for so long? Aren’t you causing trouble? Go, go. My shopkeeper isn’t free.”

As he spoke, he reached out to push Shen Yijia.

Mo Yuan grabbed his hand and twisted it. She said expressionlessly, “Call the shopkeeper out. My young lady wants to see him.”

“Ah!” He cried out in pain. He wanted to break free, but she was not as strong as Mo Yuan. He could only say angrily, “Where did this crazy woman come from? Is our shopkeeper someone you can see just because you want to? Men, someone is causing trouble here. Hurry up and chase her out.”

Immediately, two burly men with clubs walked out from behind. Both of them looked fierce.

Although the capital was under the emperor, there were also many people who did not care about their lives. Many shops would hire one or two thugs to guard the shops.

They had just started arguing when the guests felt that something was wrong. They had long retreated outside the door to watch the show. At this moment, there were a few passers-by surrounding them.

The two thugs did not care if the other party was a delicate young lady. They raised their clubs and charged at the two of them.

Shen Yijia did not move. In the blink of an eye, the two thugs were easily beaten down by Mo Yuan.

“Stop.” A man with bright eyes walked out.

He first glared at the three of them resentfully before looking at Shen Yijia. “May I know why this madam is looking for me?”

“Are you the shopkeeper here?” Shen Yijia asked.

The man smiled proudly. “That’s me. May I know who you are, Madam?”

“Hey, isn’t that the second daughter of the Shen family?”

Without waiting for Shen Yijia to reveal her identity, some of the onlookers outside the door had seen Shen Yijia in the court and recognized her at a glance.

“The one who was framed by her biological father and almost lost her life?” someone asked.

“Who else could it be? But what’s going on?”

“This seems to be the Shen family’s shop.”

Shen Pingxiu had only given her the money and gold bars. In order to please Madam Chen, he had given her the shop to manage.

These words connected Shen Yijia to the Shen family.
