Su Xiaoning watched all this with cold eyes. She restrained herself from going to Su Qingcai, but she was still driven to the point where she couldn't take it anymore.
She felt incredibly wronged. When she heard the matchmaker praising the girl she was introducing in yet another way, she rushed out of the palace to clear her head. Unexpectedly, she bumped into a suspicious figure in the palace.
"Who are you? What are you trying to do by spying on the Prince's residence?"
Su Xiaoning shouted loudly, startling the girl peeking out from the doorway.
The young woman approached Su Xiaoning somewhat shyly and said softly, "Excuse me, are you from the Prince's residence? The news of the Prince choosing a concubine has been circulating these past few days, and I just wanted to find out more..."
"Why are you taking such a crooked path to gather information? Don't you have a matchmaker to talk for you?" Su Xiaoning's tone was not good when she heard that he was here to select a concubine again.
The young woman didn't seem to care much, and said shyly, "Matchmakers always give the same answers, but if I know for myself, it's different. Miss, if you're from the Prince's mansion, could you tell me what the Prince usually likes?"
"I don't know." Su Xiaoning refused without ceremony, but to her surprise, the girl took out a silver ingot from her bosom and stuffed it into her hand.
"Don't worry, young lady. I'm not getting this information for nothing. Just say a few words to me, and I'll pay you whatever price you ask. There are plenty of people in the capital waiting to buy information..."
The silver in her hand felt heavy, and Su Xiaoning instinctively gripped it tighter. Hearing the girl say that many people wanted to buy information with silver, a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
Now that she has encountered this business opportunity, why wouldn't she seize it?
Su Qingcai didn't care about her at all, and she didn't need to talk about morality. Wouldn't it be better to earn some money for herself?
After Su Xiaoning thought it over, she accepted the silver with a clear conscience. She then whispered a few words in the girl's ear.
The young woman, having obtained useful information, beamed with delight and gave Su Xiaoning several more silver ingots. Su Xiaoning accepted them without hesitation, and after the young woman left, she went back to formulate a money-making plan.
A few days later, another piece of news began to circulate in the streets and alleys.
Someone has published a book on selecting concubines, and anyone with money can buy it!
