The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

Chapter 111 The madam comes to the door!

Shen Tangan raised his hand slightly, indicating that Meng Shu didn't need to be so nervous.

"You've done a great job. This shop is becoming more and more prosperous under your management. I said before that I would praise you when you come back, and now I can't break my promise."

As Shen Tangan spoke, he gently patted Meng Shu's shoulder.

A shy smile appeared on Meng Shu's face: "Miss, thank you for the compliment. This is what Meng Shu should do."

She lowered her head slightly, her hands unconsciously clenched nervously, determined not to let the eldest lady down.

It was the eldest lady who saved her and gave her a new life. She would do her best to repay the eldest lady!

Shen Tangan turned to look at the shopkeeper, with a hint of majesty in his tone: "In the future, you should discuss the affairs of this shop with Meng Shu more often, and you must not suppress her again. If I find such a situation again, I will not let her off easily."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the shopkeeper with a sharp gaze, while tapping lightly on the table next to him with one hand.

The shopkeeper nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Miss. I will follow your instructions and cooperate with Miss Mengshu to run the shop better."

As he spoke, he kept bending forward, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Shen Tangan nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Meng Shu: "You should not overwork yourself, and take care of your health. Although this shop is important, your health is more important."

He reached out and held Meng Shu's hand, his eyes full of concern.

Meng Shu felt warm in her heart, and her eyes became moist again: "Young Miss cares so much about Meng Shu, Meng Shu will definitely do her best to live up to Young Miss's expectations."

Meng Shu held Shen Tangan's hand tightly and looked at her firmly.

Shen Tangan nodded slightly, his eyes falling on those dazzling jewels.

"This new jewelry is really exquisite. I'm sure it will attract more customers. Do you have any new ideas or plans to take the store's business to the next level?"

She walked to the jewelry counter and gently ran her fingers over a gemstone necklace.

Meng Shu pondered for a moment and said, "Miss, Meng Shu thinks we can hold some special events, such as inviting some famous ladies and ladies in Kyoto City to participate in the jewelry tasting meeting to showcase our latest styles and unique designs. At the same time, we can also launch some customized services to meet the personalized needs of customers."

After Shen Tangan heard this, he showed appreciation in his eyes: "This is a very good plan. You can start to arrange it. Just tell me if you need anything."

Shen Tangan raised his chin slightly and looked at Meng Shu with a smile.

Meng Shu responded confidently: "Yes, Miss. Meng Shu will definitely get this done."

She straightened her back, her eyes full of fighting spirit.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the store. Shen Tangan looked up and saw the fancy-dressed old madam rushing in despite the waiter's attempt to stop her.

"Meng Shu! I finally found you!"

The madam entered the shop and her eyes widened when she saw Meng Shu, looking left and right at her face.

"Is your face feeling better?"

"Mom, long time no see."

Meng Shu obviously didn't want to see her, but he still bowed to her out of politeness.

Shen Tangan narrowed her eyes in displeasure. She wondered why this madam looked so familiar. It turned out that she was from the brothel where Meng Shu used to stay.

Back then, Meng Shu was poisoned and disfigured, and this brothel owner drove her away for profit. Now that she knows she is doing business here, she has come here specifically for her, right?

Shen Tangan raised his chin slightly, looked at the madam coldly, his eyebrows slightly frowned, and his eyes were full of disgust.

"What are you doing here?"

The madam then noticed Shen Tangan. Seeing her elegant clothes and extraordinary temperament, she was secretly surprised and quickly put on a flattering smile: "My dear, I am here to look for Mengshu. Mengshu left in a hurry, and I have been thinking about her all the time."

As she said this, she tried to reach out and pull Meng Shu.

Meng Shu dodged the madam's hand and said with disgust, "Mom, please don't pester me anymore. I am no longer a brothel owner."

Shen Tangan took a step forward and stood in front of Meng Shu, his eyes sharp and his face stern.

"Meng Shu is mine now."

The smile on the madam's face froze, and her expression changed immediately, "You are quite capable. You managed to hook up with a nobleman after leaving the brothel? Does the nobleman know what you did for a living before?"

"Mom, what do you mean? I had no choice but to be a prostitute. Now I can finally live for myself. Are you trying to force me to death?"

Meng Shu looked at her in shock. She had always thought that she cared only about interests, but she never knew that she was so cruel.

She was no longer a brothel worker, but she still didn't want to let him go.

"Why? You are a brothel owner, so you can't tell me about it?"

The corner of the madam's mouth suddenly curled up into a sinister and weird smile, her eyes were like a poisoned blade, fixed tightly on Meng Shu, and her tone was extremely sarcastic.

"Hmph, don't think you can get rid of the past now. In that brothel, you entertained and sent off people, and did all kinds of shameful things. The noble lady may be kept in the dark by you at the moment, but once she knows your true identity, will she still protect you like this?"

Meng Shu's face turned as pale as paper in an instant, her delicate body trembling slightly. She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with pain and despair.

It wasn't because she was afraid that the eldest lady would dislike her, but because she felt sad about the shameful past.

The eldest daughter was kind and never felt how terrible her past was, but she never dared to mention it in her heart.

Now that it has been revealed openly, it is naturally hard to accept.

However, Shen Tangan simply glanced at the madam calmly, his eyes full of disdain and arrogance.

"Do you think I don't know Meng Shu's past? I already know everything she went through in the brothel. But so what? Everyone has a chance to start over. Meng Shu is now a completely new person in my presence."

The madam's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

"My lord, you actually know her background and still protect her so much? She is just a prostitute, what benefit can she bring to you?"

Shen Tangan raised his delicate chin slightly, his eyes were as firm as a rock and as majestic as frost.

"Meng Shu's ability and loyalty are her greatest value. She manages my shop in perfect order. Such achievements are beyond the comprehension of a profit-seeking person like you. I warn you, do not bother Meng Shu anymore, otherwise, you will be in big trouble."

The madam was frightened by Shen Tangan's aura. Although she was very unwilling, she dared not act recklessly anymore.

She glared at Meng Shu fiercely, then turned around and left the store in shame.

After the madam left, Shen Tangan turned and looked at Meng Shu, his eyes gentle as water and firm as steel.

She gently held Meng Shu's hand and gave her endless strength.

"Don't be afraid. I don't mind your past. I will protect your future. Prepare the jewelry appreciation event well and let those who once looked down on you look at you with new eyes."

Meng Shu was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded vigorously, her heart full of gratitude and admiration for Shen Tangan.

She secretly vowed to work harder and never let Shen Tangan down.
