Su Mingyu lifted her head haughtily. "If I don't let him vent his discontent, how can I manage this organization?"
Gu Ruobai clapped his hands. "Miss Su is truly good at training people."
"However, does Miss Su have so many people she wants to kill that she needs an entire organization for it?"
"Spare me the flattery. I don't buy it." Su Mingyu clicked her tongue. "I don't really want to kill anyone. I just want to make some silver."
Gu Ruobai twitched the corner of his mouth. "As the eldest legitimate daughter of the Su family, why are you always so short of money?"
"I don't want to be either." Su Mingyu pretended to sigh pitifully. "But my mother didn't leave me anything. My father doesn't like me, and my stepmother and younger sister even cut my allowance."
Looking at how miserable she described her situation, if one didn't know this girl well, they might really think she was a weak and bullied young girl.
But Gu Ruobai knew this girl too well. She was just like a little fox. He didn't believe that Wang Manwen and Su Yueyue could outwit her.
Noticing Gu Ruobai's disbelief at a glance, Su Mingyu didn't bother to explain.
Should she tell Gu Ruobai that in her past life she was a special agent, but she had supported a scumbag, so in this life she wanted to be the behind - the - scenes boss?
Su Mingyu really couldn't say such words. So she coughed lightly and simply changed the topic. "Zhizhu was so scared that she still hasn't woken up. I have to go back and check on her."
Knowing that Su Mingyu couldn't stay outside for too long now, Gu Ruobai nodded. "I'll see you off."
Just as they reached the main gate of the Su Mansion, they saw Zhizhu's nervous figure.
As soon as she saw Su Mingyu, she ran towards her. "Miss! Where have you been?!"
Seeing how nervous she was, Su Mingyu quickly comforted her. "Prince Ruixian took me out to relax. I'm fine. Last night's incident has been handed over to the steward and Father to handle."
Zhizhu still looked a bit pale. "Who on earth wants to harm you like this?!"
Rubbing her head, Su Mingyu said softly. "You go back to the courtyard and wait for me first. I'll talk to Prince Ruixian for a while and then come in."
Watching Zhizhu's worried back, Su Mingyu secretly tightened her fists. It seemed that she had been too lenient towards Su Yueyue.
Taking a deep breath, Su Mingyu composed herself. "That head is in the second wood - shed from the left in the backyard. Remember to send Mu Yi to retrieve it."
Gu Ruobai nodded. "If you need anything, just send someone to find me."
Su Mingyu gave a soft hum.
After they said goodbye, just as Su Mingyu was about to return to her courtyard, she heard some servants whispering about her.
But she didn't take it to heart. After all, the courtyard was so small. If these idle people didn't gossip, they would really have no entertainment.
Perhaps really scared, Zhizhu didn't sleep well every night. Su Mingyu felt heart - ache seeing this.
Finally, out of helplessness, she simply asked Zhizhu to sleep in her bed.
At first, Zhizhu was a bit reluctant, but after being ordered by Su Mingyu to sleep here, her sleep quality did improve a lot.
One day, Su Mingyu suddenly came back with a whole carriage full of new clothes.
When everyone curiously gathered around to take a look, Su Mingyu generously gave each maid a piece of clothing.
When one of the maids unfolded the clothes, she suddenly let out a scream. "Oh! Isn't this the best - selling dress from Sinnan Pavilion? I've wanted to buy it for a long time, but it's always out of stock."
Another maid also exclaimed. "This is the new product from Sinnan Pavilion last time. It was said to be limited. I queued up before dawn but still couldn't get one. How come the eldest miss has them?"
"Look, the anti - counterfeiting mark is very clear. It's really from Sinnan Pavilion!"
For a moment, the main hall was packed with people.
Su Yueyue also got the news.
"Second miss, I heard that the eldest miss has a lot of clothes from Sinnan Pavilion. Didn't you say last time that Miss Sun showed off for a long time after getting a limited - edition dress from Sinnan Pavilion? Do you want to go and have a look?"
Su Yueyue sneered contemptuously. "I couldn't buy the dress even if I offered five times the price. How could Su Mingyu have them?"
Xiaocui lowered her eyes. "I don't know where the eldest miss got them. I've seen the clothes. They are indeed genuine, and... there's the one you couldn't get last time."
Su Yueyue's eyes lit up. "What are we waiting for? Hurry up and take me there!"
By the time Su Yueyue reached the main hall, most of the clothes had already been distributed.
Watching the thing she desperately wanted in the hands of a low - class maid with her own eyes, Su Yueyue's face was distorted with anger.
"Sister... What's going on?"
Biting back her anger, Su Yueyue forced a smile and stepped forward. "How did you get so many clothes?"
There was a sharp glint in Su Mingyu's eyes and a smile on her lips. "I went out of the mansion today. I saw a thief stealing silver, and I warned the person being stolen from. Later, I found out that person was the boss of Sinnan Pavilion."
"What?" Su Yueyue couldn't believe it. How could she run into the boss of Sinnan Pavilion like this?
Wasn't it said that the boss rarely showed up in public?
Su Mingyu pointed at the clothes and smiled. "These are the gifts she gave me as thanks. I don't like dressing up usually, so these things are too much for me. Since the maids want them, I gave them away."
Saying so, Su Mingyu picked up a pile of the remaining clothes and offered them to Su Yueyue. "Sister, take a look. Is there anything you like?"
Su Yueyue originally wanted to choose, but thinking that these were the things others didn't want, she felt uncomfortable.
Not getting such a big bargain, Su Yueyue was extremely annoyed and her tone was not good. "No. I have so many clothes that I can't even wear them all. Why do I need more?"
Su Mingyu let out an "oh" in disappointment. "I specifically saved these for you, sister. Since you don't want them, I'll give them to you."
Saying so, Su Mingyu handed the pile of clothes to a maid beside her. "You guys divide them up."
Watching clearly that an extremely ugly maid got the dress she wanted most, Su Yueyue was so angry that she almost tore the silk handkerchief in her hand.
Noticing the anger and jealousy in Su Yueyue's eyes from the corner of her eye, Su Mingyu curled her lips slightly.
The news that Su Mingyu gave away clothes spread throughout the Su Mansion. Almost every maid received a piece of clothing from Su Mingyu. For a while, no one mentioned the head incident anymore.
Everyone was praising Su Mingyu, except for Su Yueyue.
Just as Su Yueyue was secretly annoyed that she didn't get the clothes, the next day, Su Mingyu came back with another pile of clothes.
Just like last time, she took them out to give to everyone. Hearing the news early in the morning, Su Yueyue rushed over and joined the crowd scrambling for the clothes.
