The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 382 - 379: Looks Are Justice
Just before noon, Xin Lin had already received good news from Ma Jingtian.
The ghost soldiers had all been successfully placed, and this morning, Emperor Longteng even visited Xin Zhuo and his mother.
With the secret protection of Ghost and Gui Er, as well as the overt protection from Captain Yang, Xin Zhuo and his mother would have a much easier time in the palace.
As for Empress Feng, apart from targeting Noble Lady Shi and her son, there wasn’t any excessively unfair treatment.
It seemed Empress Feng, as she speculated, was still plotting to acquire the relics of General Shi.
Xin Lin thought to herself.
"Little Boss, everything in the palace has been arranged properly, and the account books you requested are all organized. Would you like to review the accounts of the Spiritual Food Restaurant or the Medical Hall first?"
Ma Jingtian asked attentively from the side.
With the haunted incident in Chu Mansion resolved and considering the need for Heaven-defying Value, Xin Lin had to explore new business opportunities. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
As for the hundred acres of farmland obtained by Chu Mansion, Xin Lin heard that they had all been uniformly rented out to farmers, and there was no need to worry in the short term. Once autumn arrived, they could simply collect the rent.
Xin Lin first took over the account book of the Spiritual Food Restaurant and glanced at it.
"Every month there’s a loss of thirteen thousand four hundred taels!"
Xin Lin saw the shocking red figure and frowned.
"Didn’t they say this Spiritual Food Restaurant had little business, how could there be such a loss?"
Xin Lin expressed her dissatisfaction.
Although she also knew that the properties divided among them by the Chu Mansion Brothers were definitely not good ones.
"Little Boss, three thousand taels of that is due to material losses. The business isn’t good, but the materials are still prepared every month. The remaining more than ten thousand taels are the wages for the staff and star-level Spiritual Delicacy Masters alone. Just the Delicacy Master’s salary costs ten thousand taels."
Ma Jingtian explained.
"A ten thousand taels Spiritual Delicacy Master who can’t sell a single dish, what is this situation? Let’s go, we’re heading to the Spiritual Food Restaurant."
Xin Lin put away the account book and moved to leave.
As they reached the doorway, Silly Chu happily followed.
"Daughter... go out... play..."
Xin Lin thought for a bit, and decided to bring her silly father along.
Ma Jingtian led the way while Xin Lin and her father walked leisurely behind. Xin Lin was relatively new to Purple Cloud City, and having been busy preparing for the Zixiao Palace Exam earlier, she was not familiar with the city environment.
As they passed through the busy market, many Madams and young ladies looked their way from time to time.
Xin Lin was somewhat surprised, wasn’t her warrant already revoked?
As she pondered, she saw her silly father dart to a nearby stall, casually grabbed a shiny big pear, wiped it, and handed it to his precious daughter.
"Daughter... eat, eat..."
Xin Lin sternly faced down.
"How many times have I told you, we can’t just take things from others, put it down."
Silly Chu was startled, his lips pouting.
"It’s fine, take it to eat. No need to pay, take a few more."
The pear seller’s face was all smiles, grabbed a handful of pears, and forcibly stuffed them into Silly Chu’s hands, and at the end, she even patted Silly Chu’s hand.
"!!!"
Xin Lin was shocked and quickly pulled her silly father back.
"No need to pay? Then I will take some too."
Hearing this, Ma Jingtian reached out to grab a pear.
Little did he know, the old lady snatched the pear back.
"Where’s the silver? It’s fifty copper coins per pear."
"But you said no need to pay!"
Ma Jingtian was furious.
"He’s handsome, so it’s free. You, looking like a monkey! Fifty copper coins is already a bargain for you."
The old lady’s face was filled with anger as she shooed Ma Jingtian away.
