Chapter 208: Crazy wool grabbing, so cool

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I heard that the Zheng family in Xingyang has an ornamental plant that's as white as jade and as soft as clouds. Can you give me some?"

Her tone was gentle and her smile was sweet, but it made Zheng Changrong feel a chill down his spine. How could she know such a small thing so clearly?

"This... My mother loves white jade cotton so much that she built a white jade cotton farm. She treats it like a treasure and forbids anyone from touching it. Princess, I'm truly sorry."

I just don't know why she's attracted to white jade cotton. It's useless except for admiration.

Could it be that you also like this white jade cotton?

Yun Zheng said calmly, "Oh."

Zheng Changrong was feeling uneasy, unable to figure out what she was thinking. The unknown was the most terrifying thing.

Cui Changyan was unhappy. "Is that all? Why not cut off the water supply to the upper reaches of the Xingyang River?"

They threatened and intimidated him, so why did they let Zheng Changrong off so easily?

This is not fair.

Zheng Changrong glared angrily, "Cousin."

How could this be? Are they still family?

Yun Zheng played with the teacup and said slowly, "Don't worry. If there is a fire from heaven one day and burns all the white jade cotton, that would be interesting."

Zheng Changrong's face turned pale. "Burned?"

Yun Zheng blinked, "Yes, if a celestial fire burns everything, people will start to wonder if the Zheng family of Xingyang has been punished by heaven."

"Ah, by then a stone tablet will be revealed by the river, with the inscription: The Zheng Family of Xingyang, the Mandate of Heaven..."

One move after another, all extremely insidious moves.

Finally, there comes a fate, which is going to ruin the entire Zheng family.

Zheng Changrong was horrified. This was definitely a threat. "I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you. How much do you want? I'll send someone to get it!"

Yun Zheng casually said, "One hundred thousand plants."

Zheng Changrong was sweating profusely. "Not that many, maybe 10,000."

This time, Yun Zheng didn't embarrass him. "Okay, I'm easy to talk to."

Zheng Changrong was stunned. She had wanted ten thousand plants from the beginning.

Manager Zhang who heard the whole process said: ...You are the one who is at fault!

Cui Changyan remained silent.

He had a clear understanding of Yun Zheng's schemes and methods. She was not an ordinary girl. Her vision, mind and methods were no worse than those old foxes in the officialdom.

There was even a hint of the youthful vigor and sharpness, as well as a fearless and powerful confidence.

Behind her stood the Emperor and the Nine Thousand Year Old Man, and the entire Mingjing Division was obedient to her.

What to do? I want it even more!

Guyu laughed heartily, "That's right, the princess is the most easygoing and generous person in the world."

Everyone rolled their eyes at him, calling him a flatterer and telling lies with his eyes closed. Is that really okay?

Sun Shouxin walked over quickly and said, "Sir, the preliminary list is out. Please take a look."

Yun Zheng held out her hand, "Okay, give it to me."

Yun Zheng's attention was diverted. Zheng Changrong let out a long breath. When the cold wind blew, he realized that his clothes on the back were wet.

He thought for a moment, stood up and said, "I heard that the scenery of Qin Garden is unique. I want to visit it. Cousin, let's go and take a look together."

He winked at Cui Changyan, who followed him without hesitation.

Yun Zheng raised her head, looked at their receding figures, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

In fact, these two people are both young talents with good means and schemes, but they regard the reputation and inheritance of their family as more important than their own lives.

This is their biggest weakness.

Manager Zhang accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene, shuddered, and turned his head subconsciously.

Oh my god, what does this monster want to do?

Wherever Cui Changyan's cousins ​​went, they were a dazzling sight. Countless businessmen came to talk to them, trying their best to curry favor with them and offering endless flattering words.

He looked at everyone's enthusiastic faces and breathed a sigh of relief. This was the normal attitude towards the young master of aristocratic family.

Princess Jinyun is an outlier.

After finally getting rid of these people, Zheng Changrong was finally able to sit down and rest for a while.

"Cousin, why did you agree to Princess Jinyun's request? You've set a very bad precedent!"

Cui Changyan frowned slightly, "What can I do? She has the Cui family by the neck."

Zheng Changrong rolled his eyes in annoyance. "You're incredibly smart. You wouldn't really believe she'd suggest to the Emperor something as ridiculous as cutting off the water supply to the upper reaches of the Qing River, would you?"

"Let's take a step back and say that even if she did suggest it, our emperor is so concerned about his affairs after his death that he wouldn't agree."

The upper reaches of the Qing River were cut off, and not only the Cui family suffered, but also countless civilians.

Who dares to cut off the water supply in defiance of the world?

Cui Changyan's expression was terrifyingly cold. "The officials won't do that, but since officials and bandits are inseparable, they can just lie and say it was done by bandits."

"Huh?" Zheng Changrong was stunned.

Cui Changyan's emotions were very complicated. "Yes, I knew she was trying to scare me, but I still bowed my head and admitted defeat. I had no choice."

She just said it clearly that no matter how unruly the Cui family was, they had to bow their heads under the imperial power.

If some things are not brought up, then everything will be fine.

Once something is brought up, there must always be a statement.

No matter what he thought in his heart, he had to make a clear statement to the Emperor of Da Qi since he was standing at the feet of the emperor.

Zheng Changrong felt extremely unwilling when he thought about what had just happened. He had never been forced to this point before.

Both the Zheng and Cui families lost face.

"What are you afraid of? For thousands of years, the royal family has been unable to do anything to the aristocratic families."

Cui Changyan asked calmly, "Then why are you so scared?"

Zheng Changrong was silent for a long time. "I'm afraid she'll force me to stay in the capital. Our family's situation is different from the Cui family's. The Cui family has already confirmed that you are the sole heir. My father... is already senile and confused, and several brothers are eyeing you covetously."

However, Princess Jinyun is totally capable of doing it.

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. He didn't want to let those ruthless brothers get away with it.

"Alas, if you piss her off, she'll have a thousand ways to mess with the aristocratic families. Her ruthless nature is indeed well-suited to the officialdom."

Cui Changyan narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's more suitable for our Cui family."

Zheng Changrong was stunned. "Are you crazy? You still refuse to give up?"

Cui Changyan said calmly, "As for me, I've always wanted the best, and would rather have nothing than something less than perfect."

Zheng Changrong pointed out sharply, "You can't control her."

Cui Changyan raised the corner of his mouth, "I believe that sincerity will be rewarded with sincerity. As long as I work hard enough, I will be able to impress her one day."

Zheng Changrong shook his head slightly. His cousin had been wearing a mask for so long that no one knew his true character.

But he knew that his cousin had been very cunning since he was a child. Although he seemed gentle, he was actually extremely cold and indifferent.

"She has someone she likes."

Cui Changyan said proudly, "Let's compete fairly. No man in this world is worse than me. She will definitely choose me!"

"I also allow her to continue working and will not interfere with any of her decisions."

This is also good for the Cui family.

"Dynasties may change, but families remain forever. Princess Jinyun is a smart woman. She should know that marrying me and becoming the mistress of the Qinghe Cui family will bring countless benefits."

A marriage is a union of two families, a binding of interests, and love... is not important at all.

Faced with such a confident cousin, Zheng Changrong somehow popped up a name in his mind.

"But, I thought of someone, I'm afraid you can't defeat him."

Cui Changyan's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Who is it?"
