My Whole Villainous Family Can Hear My Inner Monologue

The protagonist transmigrated into an abusive, deep, and tragic romance novel as the villainess. She knew the plot well but was unable to change it. Whenever she tried to speak about the plot, her ...

Chapter 68 Wang opens a shop and competes with Xu Yan for business

"Physician Yao! Physician Yao!"

Startled, Guan Jia quickly called for help. Physician Yao rushed over, took Zhao Dajia's pulse, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, reassuring everyone, "It's nothing, nothing, just a sudden onset of anger. I'll prescribe some medicine for him."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the concern in their eyes quickly turned into relief and pride. It was another day of being a good person. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!

Although Chuanwen didn't participate in the rescue, she could watch the drama unfold remotely, and she was constantly worried for Zhao Dajia. [It's truly amazing that Zhao Dajia survived! But speaking of which, who told them about this dietary therapy? Isn't that just torture?]

The Marquis of Changxing, standing to the side, was sweating profusely. "Granddaughter," he thought, "I guess they probably trusted you too much!"

[Hehe, Wang Sanlang's karma has come true! He just arrived in Longshi, and his money was stolen. The two of them are now homeless. Hahaha, serves them right!]

Longshi?

Marquis Changxing thought for a moment, and realized that it wasn't far from the capital, so he went to his study to find Chuanhai.

Chuan Hai was busy with official business and didn't even have lunch.

When Marquis Changxing arrived, he was surprised, "Isn't this a sinecure for you? Why do you have so much official business?"

Chuan Hai sighed helplessly, and Marquis Changxing immediately understood that his family seemed to only show such a helpless and weary expression when it came to Chuan Wen.

Wasn't it Wen Yaya who exposed the scandal in the family of Yu Heng, the Minister of Revenue? And Yu Heng doesn't even recognize his own son, which is why his colleagues gossip and laugh at him in private. He can't do anything to Wen Yaya, but it's easy for him to make things difficult for his subordinates.

"Big Brother, you've gone through so much trouble."

Marquis Changxing sighed and patted Chuanhai on the shoulder. Chuanhai gave a bitter smile. What else could he do but endure it? So he asked, "Did Father come to see me for something?"

Marquis Changxing then remembered the purpose of his visit and told him about Wang Sanlang's current situation in Longshi.

"Alright, I'll tell Madam when she gets back." Chuanhai sighed helplessly again. "That Wang Sanlang is really outrageous!"

"Who can argue with that?" Marquis Changxing shook his head helplessly.

After dinner, Wang returned home. Chuanhai soaked his feet while telling her about Wang Sanlang. Wang looked at her husband in surprise, "How did you know?"

Chuan Hai made up an excuse, "A colleague just came back from Longshi. He told me that he saw his third brother-in-law in Longshi."

Wang didn't suspect anything too much, but she was annoyed that he hadn't sent someone to tell her sooner.

"Don't worry, he can't leave. His money has all been stolen."

Chuan Hai chuckled, "That's what they call 'the wicked will get their just desserts'."

After thinking for a moment, fearing that her third brother might run away again, Wang ordered someone to quickly prepare the carriage, as she needed to go to the Wang family.

“You just came back from the Wang family, so why don’t you go tomorrow? I already told you, my third brother-in-law has no money and can’t go anywhere.”

Wang has been leaving early and returning late these past few days, and she's lost weight. Chuanhai is quite distressed about it.

Wang rolled her eyes at him, "Do you think I've been going to my parents' house all these days, leaving early and returning late?"

"Otherwise what?" Chuan Hai was puzzled. Didn't Madam just go to comfort her mother and third sister-in-law? "You still have two older brothers and sisters-in-law. You don't need to run around like this."

Chuan Hai successfully earned another eye roll from the Wang family. "Besides going to the Wang family every day, I'm also busy with the shop."

Chuan Hai was even more puzzled by this, "Why don't you just have the accountants from each shop send you their ledgers if you want to check the accounts?"

"Who checked the accounts!" Madam Wang was exasperated with Chuan Hai. "Haven't you seen that couple? They're never home. They run a clothing shop and are so busy they barely have time to breathe. Now, many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital order clothes from their shop!"

Chuanhai thought for a moment, processing his wife's words, and then asked, "So, you also want to open a ready-made clothing store?"

Then she laughed again, "Even if you open a shop, you can't steal those businesses from me."

Madam may not know, but he certainly does. Those who went to Chuanrui and his group to order clothes were not only doing so because of the novel and creative patterns and designs of their clothes, but also because of that girl, Chuanwen.

Take the Minister of Works, for example. The old man listened to Chuanwen's gossip every day with great delight. When he heard that Xu Yan and Chuanrui were Chuanwen's parents, he rushed over to support them.

There was also General Shi Shen, the gatekeeper, who made a bet with someone that the Third Prince was a homosexual. He won, and in a good mood, he took the money to a shop to have clothes made.

As for the Pingcheng Earl's family, after learning from Chuanwen that their daughter would be sent for a political marriage, they quickly arranged the marriage, and the young couple is now living happily ever after. Although the Third Prince has been captured and has lost his chance to become emperor, and their daughter can no longer be sent for the political marriage, they are still sincerely grateful to Chuanwen. The entire Pingcheng Earl's family, from the old matriarch down to the maids and servants, gets their clothes from Xu Yan's shop.

There's also Princess Baohui, and so on.

I asked, "Why is his wife competing with others for business?"

However, Wang didn't like Chuanhai saying that. "Who said I couldn't take it!"

She counted on her fingers: "Countess Cheng is my close friend; getting clothes from my shop is a piece of cake for her. And then there's Lady Zhou, Lady Shen..."

"You should just calm down for a bit." Chuanhai wiped his feet, went to lie down on the bed, and realized he was exhausted after a long day and needed to rest.

But as soon as he lay down, his wife pulled him up. "You think I'm competing with them for business for my own benefit? I think their opening of shops is just a pretense; their real purpose is to build connections. Look how many days it's been! More than half of the officials in the capital are getting their clothes from them! So what if your daughter has caught the Emperor's eye? What's so great about that! I wonder what tricks they used; they're so cunning at such a young age!"
