Because of a failed investment, thousands of taels of silver were wasted. Wei, the eldest wife of the Yuanxing Marquisate, fainted in the street.
The news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys, giving the people of Shangjing a new topic of conversation. Men shook their heads and sighed, stroking their beards, lamenting that money was hard to come by and business was tough. Women, on the other hand, instinctively tightened their grip on their wallets.
Xie Wanyun's reputation naturally grew even more resounding. The ever-victorious general in the business world had finally suffered a defeat, even bringing trouble upon his mother-in-law and grandmother. People's lamentations were mingled with a touch of schadenfreude. Why had you always been so successful? Did you make all the money in the world? And now you've lost it? You deserve it.
This was exactly the effect Xie Wanyun wanted. The publicity was done, and people's hearts were won over.
Moreover, Wei's performance in this wave of publicity activities is remarkable.
The performance was full of emotion, the words were emotional, and the body language was vivid. The whole performance was full of sound and emotion, and the emotions progressed one after another, which was very contagious and hard not to empathize with.
Xie Wanyun had always thought that the Qin family were all good at singing opera. This time, Wei finally had the opportunity to show off her skills in front of everyone, and she lived up to everyone's expectations and made a big splash.
Naturally, this news also reached Yan Suizhi's ears.
Qingshu performed a vivid performance in front of him, and Yan Suizhi's cold and beautiful face rarely showed a smile.
He laughed and scolded, "You didn't even see what happened that day, yet you describe it as if it were true."
Seeing that the master finally smiled, Qingshu let out a sigh of relief. He said with a smile, "There were quite a few people watching the excitement that day, and everyone spread the word. I just gathered the strengths of various schools and took out the essence to show you, Master."
Yan Suizhi's smile widened. He had never imagined that the icy Meimei would actually play tricks and set traps for others to fall into. Thinking of the expressions of those people from the Qin family at that moment, the more he thought about it, the funnier it got. He actually laughed out loud.
Qingshu was truly dumbfounded! He had followed the master for years and had never seen him smile. This was truly a first! He quietly retreated. Chen Zuo stood outside the door, bewildered, wondering whether to go in. Qingshu waved his hand, signaling him not to disturb the master.
If someone is around, he will become aloof and serious. Let him relax.
Chen Zuo and Qing Shu were genuinely curious about the allure of Madam Xie, a powerful figure in the business world, that could move their icy master so many times and make an exception for her. If she asked for anything, the master would go all out, just to earn her smile.
Unfortunately, that person was just as cold and icy as their master. Could the collision of icebergs create sparks?
Over the years, the master has declined countless marriage proposals from prominent families and rejected advances from several wealthy daughters. I imagine it was all for Madam Xie, right? Coming from the Xie family, the master must have fallen in love with Madam Xie since his youth. Unfortunately, Madam Xie is already married.
But they had long understood that although the Lord seemed powerful, he had a weak spot, and that was Madam Xie.
The more Yan Suizhi thought about it, the funnier it became, until he started laughing so hard that tears came out. He unconsciously reached out to wipe them away, and then he realized, "He can actually laugh from the heart?"
No matter how brilliant the smiles in official circles, they were all fake, wrapped in a mask. Only Meimei could make him laugh from the bottom of his heart.
This matter wasn't as simple as it appeared. A moment of negligence had caused the goods to spoil and be damaged. With Xie Wanyun's meticulousness and strategic thinking, such a low-level mistake would never have occurred. This must have been a plan targeting those within the Qin family.
By now, the people in the Qin family should have collapsed, right?
It’s really - so funny.
Xie Wanyun was currently relaxing in the Mu Garden, drinking tea and basking in the sun. He was also checking in on the children, wondering if they had made any progress in their studies or martial arts.
Quan Ge'er also came today. He has been under the care of Liu Yun'er recently and rarely comes to Mu Garden. Something happened at home today. It seems that the old lady and the wife lost money in business. The wife was carried back. As soon as she came back, she lay on the bed crying and kept saying that they were cheated by Xie Wanyun.
I don't understand the affairs of the adults, but I do know that business has its ups and downs. How can you say that it was the mistress who cheated me? The mistress is not that kind of person.
