Chapter 840 The Yan family deserves to be rich, they are not jealous at all
Zhuang Shihan looked at Song Yanxi and said with a forced smile, "Although His Royal Highness Prince Jin will soon become the son-in-law of Mr. Yan's grandson, he is still an outsider to the Yan family.
Princess Yong'an, do you think what I said is correct?"
Song Yanxi didn't bother to be polite with her and asked directly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Zhuang Shihan said, "Since you are so direct, I don't bother to beat around the bush with you.
Anyway, he is now in your house. We can find out whether he stole the fifty thousand taels by sending someone to investigate."
Mo Jinchuan's eyes turned even colder. "What if we find fifty thousand taels?"
Zhuang Shihan said without hesitation: "Your Highness asked this question. Now that it has been found, it is natural to return it to its original owner."
She paused, her eyes filled with disdain, "The Jin Palace is a wealthy and powerful family, so I guess they wouldn't look down on my mere fifty thousand taels, right?"
Song Yanxi laughed when she heard this. Meeting her somewhat annoyed gaze, she asked coldly, "Then why do you think my Yan family is interested in these fifty thousand taels?"
The people below: “…”
I should have stayed at home feeding the pigs instead of joining in the fun.
As the old saying goes, this person is more annoying than anyone else.
However, compared to their envy of the Yan family's huge fortune, they are more jealous of Zhuang Shihan, whose shop business is making a lot of money.
The Renyan family can achieve its current glory thanks to the hard work of two generations, and everyone has witnessed the hardships over the years.
So the Yan family deserves to be rich, and they are not jealous at all.
Besides, the Yan family is a conscientious business person. They never say anything false like they don't make a penny. No matter what disasters or misfortunes they have encountered over the years, the rice and flour shops under the Yan family's name have never increased their profits.
And no matter when you go, you can buy enough food to fill your family's stomach, and you don't have to worry about not having the next meal.
How many businesses can do this?
With the Yan family setting an example, those who want to take advantage of the national crisis to make a fortune will have to give up their idea.
The people all said privately that it was because the Yan family was doing the grain business that everyone could have enough food to eat all year round.
If you change any company, no matter how unscrupulous they are, if the price of rice and flour increases by one or two cents per bushel, many families will have to tighten their belts to make ends meet.
Of course, they only said these things in private with their family members and did not dare to talk nonsense outside.
Otherwise, if we bring disaster to the Yan family, who will care whether they have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear in the future?
As for Zhuang Shihan, how can she compare with the Yan family?
In recent years, the Yan family has not only been engaged in the grain business, but has also been involved in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. The cloth produced by the Yan's Cloth Shop is not only bright in color but also of good quality, and many girls from ordinary families can wear it.
If I were to talk about all these benefits, it would take three days and three nights to finish.
However, although the shops opened by Zhuang Shihan are also related to food, clothing and daily necessities, the prices vary greatly.
Ordinary people, even if they grit their teeth, would only dare to order the cheapest so-called set meal to satisfy their hunger when they enter Shuzhuang, and they may not dare to go there once a year.
As for the clothing store she opened, it was said to be in trial operation these days, and everyone rushed over to join in the fun. The beautiful clothes inside were worth dozens of taels of silver.
She dared to ask for five taels of silver for an ordinary embroidered headband.
Those who don’t know would think that the common people’s money comes from the wind.
But think about it, the shop was not opened for peasants like them at all. They never intended to make money from them, so naturally they don't care about their life or death.
On one side is the Yan family, who benefits the country and the people and donates money to charity from time to time.
On the other hand, there is Zhuang Shihan who will do anything to make money.
Comparing the two, the scale in the hearts of the people is inevitably shifted.
Before Zhuang Shihan could say anything, some people couldn't wait to say, "Princess Shihan is too disrespectful. Everyone knows that the Yan family contributed money and food to the army's expedition before the New Year.
I heard that the Yan family paid this much in cash alone."
As he spoke, he raised his hands high, afraid that people around him couldn't see clearly.
Even though it was getting dark, it was not difficult for everyone to see how ugly Zhuang Shihan's face was at the moment.
Her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was full of grievance. "It wasn't you who lost the money, so you are just talking nonsense."
The man choked and said awkwardly, "We have never seen what fifty thousand taels looks like in our lives, so we really can't lose it."
"You!" Zhuang Shihan's eyes turned black with anger, and she cursed him as an idiot in her heart.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that the man who had taken her money had disappeared. It was obvious that he had just been beaten and was frightened by the scene.
Zhuang Shihan gritted her teeth and cursed, "Useless thing."
He took her money and did this, and she will come back to settle the score with him when she gets back!
Facing Song Yanxi's icy eyes, Zhuang Shihan said stiffly, "Whether the banknotes are in the Yan family or not is not something we can decide.
In this case, it would be better to find a respected person to be a witness for both of us, so that you won't feel that I am throwing dirty water on you."
Song Yanxi said directly: "This is impossible."
Zhuang Shihan's eyes were filled with surprise, and she said in annoyance, "How come you change your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book? You were the one who asked me to go in and take a look just now."
She did say so, but now, Song Yanxi has changed her mind.
Even though Zhuang Shihan was just an accomplice who added fuel to the fire in her previous life, she did not actually get involved because she did not want to dirty her hands.
But as she started over again, the original trajectory was changed, and some turmoil occurred that had never happened in her previous life. Lin Tingfeng and Zhuang Shihan's style of doing things was also completely different from before.
What if she insists on entering the mansion today even though she has a falling out with him, and it's not just for the 50,000 taels of silver, but for something else?
Therefore, Song Yanxi had to be on guard.
Seeing her attitude, Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but sneer, "If you don't want someone to go in and investigate, then you have something to hide!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people surrounding them also started talking at once.
Although most people thought that Zhuang Shihan shouldn't be so persistent, and that the Yan family wouldn't want her fifty thousand taels, nor would they do such a petty theft.
But there were still a few people who were eager to watch the fun and shouted that since they had a clear conscience, they should quickly make way to let the victim in to take a look.
After all, it's fifty thousand taels, not a small amount of money. If you don't even let people take a look at it, they will be angry with you, right?
Zhuang Shihan was listening to those voices and was secretly delighted, but suddenly someone grabbed her wrist. The piercing pain made her face turn pale in an instant.
She turned around to curse, but met Lin Tingfeng's dark eyes filled with anger.
He said coldly: "Shihan, come back with me."
Upon hearing this, the joy that rose in Zhuang Shihan's heart due to his arrival disappeared completely in an instant.
Her face suddenly darkened, and she asked in a cold voice, "Who are you talking to me with?"
Before Lin Tingfeng could speak, she looked at him with more sarcasm, "As my fiancé, or as Song Yanxi's ex-husband?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I'm talking nonsense?" Zhuang Shihan sneered, poking Lin Tingfeng's chest with her index finger, and asked word by word: "Do you dare to gamble your future and the oath of the entire Lin family?"
