The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 514 Returning to the Palace to Take Duty

Jiang Mushi took the bowl of soup and began to explain in detail.

After Jiang Suining beat the drum to file a complaint and was temporarily imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, the news quickly spread.

Although it may not be known to everyone, most business people are sharp-eyed and well-informed.

Those who had business dealings with the shop under Jiang Suining immediately found the Jiang family to inquire about the situation, but most of them were appeased by Jiang Mushi or Jiang Zhitong.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who feel uneasy and even have other ideas. They are eager to take advantage of this opportunity to see if they can gain some benefits.

However, all those little actions, both overt and covert, were suppressed by Jiang Mushi.

Of course, there were also competing shops that took the opportunity to create panic, trying to poach people from Jiang Suining's shops or suppress and seize business, but in the end they failed.

"Sister, I've written down all those people. You can be on guard against them in the future. It's better to stay away from people who want to take advantage of the situation and betray their partners when they encounter problems."

Jiang Mushi took out the recorded paper from his sleeve, but because Jiang Suining was still having a meal, he did not hand it to Jiang Suining. Instead, he gave it to Biyun and asked her to put it on the desk first and look at it later.

"I, I see. You have really put in a lot of effort during this period. Has it affected your own business?"

"It's okay. My business is not urgent. It doesn't matter if it's a few days earlier or later. And everything is going well over there. Next, I just need to wait for the specialty products from all over the country to be shipped into the imperial city."

When Jiang Mushi decided to do business, he did not intend to follow the old path of the Jiang family. Instead, he decided to open a shop that collected the best items from all the towns in Beiyang Country, and even from other countries.

In this way, even ordinary people living in the imperial city can easily buy fine products from foreign places thousands of miles away.

Moreover, his plan was to try it out in the imperial city first. If the business was good, he would open stores in other towns and strive to open such stores throughout the Beiyang Kingdom.

Since leaving the academy, everything he has done and the friends he has made have all revolved around this point.

Among those people, some had extensive trade routes at home, and some had the fastest freight channels at home. Jiang Mushi brought them together and reached cooperation with them one by one.

Now, the store location has been decided and various channels have been opened. All that remains is to wait for the first batch of goods to arrive and then open for business.

Looking at Jiang Mushi who was full of confidence, Jiang Suining curled the corners of his lips and said, "Okay, if you encounter any problems, feel free to ask."

"Don't worry, I would have done it even if you didn't tell me. Also, since the matter is over now, I will transfer the shop that you transferred to my name back to you tomorrow."

"There's no rush for this matter. Let's wait until the dust settles and all officials involved are punished." Jiang Suining took a spoon and slowly stirred the soup in the bowl. "Also, I've been absent from the female official duty for so long. Although the emperor has promoted my rank, I still have to give an explanation to the harem."

Jiang Mushi had finished the soup in the bowl and nodded, "Okay, then Sister, you can take care of the palace affairs first. Don't worry about the shop. I will continue to help you watch it."

Anyway, my sister has returned home safely now, and those who were plotting against me behind my back probably won't dare to do anything anymore.

"Oh, right!" Jiang Mushi put down the bowl in his hand and said, "Sister, I was worried before, so I sent someone to find Lin Jie from the manor. Although this matter seems to be over, if you go out in the future, you still have to take him with you to protect you. At least be more cautious during this period of time."

Jiang Suining agreed. It was already midnight, so Jiang Mushi didn't stay any longer. After drinking his soup, he went back to his room to rest.

Jiang Suining ate something, and after repeated persuasion from Biyun and Xier, he drank half a bowl of ginseng soup. After a simple wash, he went back to sleep.

On the second day, Jiang Suining entered the palace from the west gate and met Queen Shi.

"The Emperor has sent someone to convey his order. From today on, you are a sixth-rank official. Although you were not promoted through an assessment, you don't have to worry about anything. Your previous abilities are obvious to everyone. You just need to do your job well. And your father's case..."

Queen Shi paused for a moment and her tone softened a lot.

"I admire your courage and determination to redress your father's innocence. I am happy for you that the truth of what happened back then has been revealed. But you are a smart person. After the case is completely over, don't bring it up again to avoid causing trouble. Do you understand?"

Jiang Suining understood clearly that Empress Shi's reminder was well-intentioned, and replied, "I understand. Thank you, Empress."

After leaving the Queen's Palace, Jiang Suining returned to his duty station.

Lu Yan, Wei Yao, He Qingrui and others were waiting. When they saw Jiang Suining, they were all very happy.

"Sui Ning, that's great. We were scared when we saw you beating the drum earlier. Fortunately, you are okay." He Qingrui was the first to step forward, with a look of joy on her face.

"Yes, Sui Ning, you are safe and sound, and you have been promoted. We are all happy for you." Lu Yan also spoke.

She had never thought that Sui Ning actually had such an identity. After returning home that day, she asked her grandfather and learned a lot about the case that year.

My grandfather had also met that Lord Gu, and he said that although he was upright, he was a good official with a lot of character. But I didn't expect...

But fortunately, the truth has now been found out and everything is going well.

Jiang Suining thanked them both, "Thank you, it's just that my promotion..."

"You don't need to have any psychological burden. Your ability is there. Even if this incident hadn't happened, we would still be convinced if you were promoted to the sixth rank." Wei Yao walked to Jiang Suining's side.

"Ayao is right."

He Qingrui and Lu Yan immediately expressed their agreement.

Wei Yao continued to look at Jiang Suining and said seriously: "Fortunately, you are okay."

During this period, she was extremely afraid that Sui Ning would end up like that scholar, but fortunately it was a false alarm.

Jiang Suining also looked at Wei Yao.

She heard from Mu Shi last night that during the time he was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, Wei Yao was concerned and would often ask him for news. One time, she happened to run into someone making trouble in the shop and helped.

Jiang Suining thanked her sincerely, but she did not ask about Wei Yao's father. Lu Yan and the others were worried about making Jiang Suining sad, so they tacitly did not mention the case of Songjiang Prefecture's disaster relief money.

Due to his absence these days, Jiang Suining is not very clear about recent affairs.

He Qingrui started talking to her first, but just when she was halfway through, they saw Xiao Yue coming.
