Xie Wanyun's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a cold voice, "So you're here to collect debts from me. Then let's settle it properly. I've figured out all the losses in these shops, and I'm just wondering who will be held responsible. Since Master Qin is willing to admit it, that's all that matters. Also, you guys haven't returned the things you took from my shop before, so it's a good opportunity to settle the debt with interest."
Qin Su'an and Liu Yun'er were stunned when they heard this. Instead of getting the money, they were facing a debt?
"What? If you are worried, ask a middleman to re-check the accounts." Xie Wanyun felt disgusted when he saw the stupidity of these two people.
"Xie Wanyun! You are so cruel! You vicious woman!" Qin Su'an was really unwilling to accept it, but he really couldn't afford to offend her!
Seeing this, Liu Yun'er knew that she would not get any good result today, so she had to support Qin Su'an and walked away in shame.
Xie Wanyun narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed that she was still too kind.
A few days later, Xie Wanyun visited the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War, where Qin Su'an worked, and met with Zhang, the Chief Officer. Although Zhang wasn't a former member of the Xie family, he still had respect for the family's loyalty and bravery. He had previously been quite considerate of Qin Su'an, but Qin Su'an had ruined his favor completely.
Zhang immediately invited Xie Wanyun to a side hall for a meeting. Xie Wanyun exchanged a few pleasantries before getting down to business.
"Master Zhang, is the Ministry of War looking to purchase some military supplies recently? I bought a lot of kudzu, tung oil, beef tendons, cowhide, and other items while helping a friend. Now our warehouses are full and we're desperate to get rid of them. If the Ministry of War needs them, it would be a relief for me. I can sell them to you at the best price."
She had stored a lot of military supplies based on her memories of her previous life, and had intended to wait until the war broke out to take them out, but now she wanted to do it in advance.
When Zhang Zhushi heard this, his eyes lit up immediately! "Madam, how many are there? Can you equip 10,000 soldiers?"
Xie Wanyun smiled slightly, "If you need it, I can also provide a hundred thousand."
Upon hearing this, Zhang's voice trembled with excitement, and he stood up and bowed to her. "Thank you, Madam. You've been very helpful. Could you take me to see it and finalize this matter as soon as possible?"
Zhang, the head official, had recently received a secret order from his superiors to procure military supplies as quickly as possible, the more the better. He was fretting over how to procure such a large quantity without causing panic and controversy, when, just as he was dozing off, someone delivered a pillow. Xie Wanyun's wealth and reputation were unparalleled in the capital, and she was also the descendant of a loyal and righteous man, a prominent family. She was the perfect person to handle this matter.
"Of course you can, but I have a request. Can you let Qin Su'an handle this matter?" Xie Wanyun said with a hint of apology in his tone.
"Well..." Zhang was a bit embarrassed. He knew it wouldn't be that easy! It's not impossible to let Qin Su'an do it, but his reputation is too bad. Not only is his ability poor, but his character is even worse. If he were to make such a large purchase, what if something went wrong...
Xie Wanyun remained calm and continued, "If Lord Zhang is in trouble, that's fine. But since Su An was injured, he hasn't been doing his job well and has become depressed. Not only does the old lady and the mistress feel bad for him, but I also feel bad when I see him. After all, he is my husband. If I can help him, I would naturally want to."
Zhang understood. He had only known that the couple was at odds, that Qin Su'an was openly dating a mistress of unknown origin, and that he had left his wife, Xie Wanyun, aside. He hadn't expected Xie Wanyun to not only have no complaints but actually want to help him.
Where can I find such a good wife? Qin Suan is really blind. His character is not good, and his vision is even worse.
When Zhang Zhushi thought of this, he despised Qin Su'an even more, but he was full of admiration and sympathy for Xie Wanyun.
He thought for a moment and said, "Madam Xie, it's not impossible to let Su An handle this matter, but after all, you are husband and wife, and I'm afraid it will be criticized. How about this: I personally supervise it and let him be my deputy. This will avoid suspicion and criticism, and let Su An take on the actual task."
Xie Wanyun's lips curled up. He nodded and said, "That's great. Thank you, Master Zhang. We can go check out the goods now."
