Qin Wanqing and Su Lingwei nodded repeatedly.
Thinking Shen Qingtang's idea was brilliant, Su Lingwei couldn't help but say, "Qingtang, if you really open a shop, I can help you with the accounts. I learned a lot from the accountant when I was at home."
Pei Wuwang stood to one side.
Looking at Shen Qingtang's enthusiastic planning, her eyes were full of tenderness. No matter where she went, she could always find a way to survive. She was someone that people could never take their eyes off.
Meanwhile, the second prince sat in the bumpy carriage, looking out at the dilapidated town.
But deep down he harbored great ambitions.
This town has a good location. If we could take it over, and then use Shen Qingtang's "miracle car" and those modern supplies...
Perhaps I can establish my own power here, which will give me more confidence when I compete with the Crown Prince for the throne in the future.
Lu Jiaojiao followed beside the carriage, panting heavily, the wound on her calf throbbing with pain from the jolting. She watched as Shen Qingtang's sports car drove smoothly ahead, the people inside even able to talk leisurely.
Her anger flared up, and she couldn't help but complain to the Second Prince in the carriage: "Your Highness, look how comfortable Shen Qingtang is! We're exhausted from walking, while she's driving that beat-up car and having a good time, even thinking about doing business here! Why is she so glamorous even in exile?"
The second prince lifted the carriage curtain, looked at Lu Jiaojiao, and his eyes flickered: "Do you have a way to take her things away?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up instantly. She quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, although Shen Qingtang's 'divine car' is powerful, she definitely needs someone to control it! As long as we find an opportunity to lure her away and then have someone steal the car, then both the car and the things in her space will be Your Highness's. Besides, the people around her are all old, weak, women, and children, and they have no fighting power at all. As long as we plan well, we will definitely succeed!"
As she spoke, a malicious smile appeared on her face: "When the time comes, I will definitely make her taste what it's like to walk, and make her suffer the same hardships I've endured! It would be best if she were given a good beating by the officials, then we'll see how arrogant she can still be!"
As the second prince listened, he tapped his fingers lightly on the carriage floor, secretly pondering that although Lu Jiaojiao's words were somewhat rash, they were not without reason.
As long as we can seize the "divine car" and capture Shen Qingtang.
He looked at Lu Jiaojiao and slowly said, "Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you. If it succeeds, I, the prince, will reward you handsomely."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiaojiao was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Your Highness, rest assured! I will definitely not let you down!" She was already plotting how to frame Shen Qingtang, completely unaware of the coldness deep in the Second Prince's eyes.
For him.
Lu Jiaojiao is nothing more than a usable pawn.
Whether or not he should keep her after things are done depends on his mood.
Sitting in the car, Shen Qingtang vaguely heard the commotion behind her, and her brows furrowed slightly. She could sense that Lu Jiaojiao and the Second Prince had ill intentions, and it seemed that there was likely to be more trouble in this small town.
When Shen Qingtang and her group arrived in town, it was already dusk. Although the hail had stopped, a damp and chilly feeling permeated the air.
Shen Qingtang led everyone directly to the only decent-looking inn in town, "Yuelai Inn".
The innkeeper, a middle-aged man with a goatee, greeted the large group of guests warmly, saying, "Please come in, sirs! We still have plenty of rooms available. How many would you like?"
Shen Qingtang glanced at the inn's lobby and said directly, "Book all the best rooms here, and prepare some hot dishes to be delivered to the rooms." As she spoke, she took out a heavy silver ingot from her pocket and placed it on the counter.
The boss's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly nodded and bowed, "Alright! There are only three good rooms left, I'll arrange them for you right away!"
Shen Qingtang was about to take her family upstairs when she saw Lu Jiaojiao, Lu Jin, and Lin Peirou squeeze in as well.
