Following Guan Surong's instructions, Song Wanshi immediately began to think of ways to contact Cui Xiaoxiao. After all, if Cui Xiaoxiao could complete this matter according to her wishes, it would only benefit their family.
However, Song Wanshi couldn't openly post a message to Cui Xiaoxiao. If she did, Song Wanning would probably find out soon. Since that was the case, she had no choice but to write a letter specifically to Cui Xiaoxiao.
Song Wanshi immediately took a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Cui Xiaoxiao, and specially sent her close confidant to deliver it to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Who would have thought that the letter was not delivered.
Song Wanshi had no choice but to block Cui Xiaoxiao at the door.
Who would have thought that Nan Hongqiu came to talk to Song Wanshi and Madam Guan, heard Song Wanshi's current method, and heard Song Wanshi say that the letter in hand could not be delivered to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Nan Hongqiu immediately came up with an idea. She looked at Song Wanshi and said, "My dear daughter, if you want to get the letter to Cui Xiaoxiao and ask her to help you, you should give her a way out. You might as well tell her that after she succeeds and leaves the Prime Minister's Mansion, we will open a shop specifically for her and spend the money we earn together."
Song Wanshi remembered that when she was in the Marquis Zhongping's Mansion, she also trusted her so much, but who knew that she would lose all the money she had.
"Mother really doesn't know that Cui Xiaoxiao always pretends to have a way to make money. I was fooled by her before and invested a lot of money in her rouge shop, but in the end, I lost it all." Song Wanshi was still angry when she mentioned this. "I lost a thousand taels of silver in this shop for nothing. Later, I wanted to kill her, but Second Master protected me. Now if we recruit her to do business with us again, I'm afraid she will lose all our money."
Nan Hongqiu was a little puzzled when she heard this. "Why can't Cui Xiaoxiao make money anywhere else, but is making a fortune with Song Wanning?"
"My daughter is completely baffled." Song Wanshi shook her head. "Not to mention this shop, Song Wanning seems to be managing the other businesses of the Prime Minister's Mansion quite well. I'm afraid the Prime Minister's Mansion will soon surpass the Yan Mansion in wealth. If he becomes the richest man in the capital, he will have both money and power."
"You don't need to worry about it for now. Wait until she helps us. We'll figure out what to do then." Nan Hongqiu suffered a great loss back then, and even now, she still feels hatred when she thinks about it. If it weren't for Song Wanning, she wouldn't have been divorced, and she wouldn't be living in the Nan Mansion in such a humble way. "If Cui Xiaoxiao comes and we can't make money here, we can just get rid of her."
Song Wanshi thought this made sense and immediately responded to Nan Hongqiu, "Mother, what you said makes sense. I will do as you say and let Cui Xiaoxiao help us first. Otherwise, why would Song Wanning earn all the money?"
After the mother and daughter agreed, Song Wanshi began to worry about how to get the letter in. "The Prime Minister's Mansion is heavily guarded right now. I heard that if we send a letter in, Song Wanning will definitely see it first. If that happens, I'm afraid Song Wanning will know our plan."
"This letter can only be delivered to Cui Xiaoxiao." Nan Hongqiu looked at the letter in Song Wanshi's hand and said unwillingly, "I still have some face in the General's Mansion, but I have long been at odds with Song Wanning. If I rashly go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'm afraid I may not be able to see Cui Xiaoxiao. This little bitch is very vigilant."
Song Wanshi frowned for a moment. "No one in our family can stand up in front of Song Wanning. This really puts me in a difficult position. I'm afraid the letter won't be delivered, and everything will be in vain."
At this moment, Nan Hongqiu suddenly thought of another person. She looked at Song Wanshi and said, "Although we can't send her off, Hua Mama, who was married off to the Prime Minister's Mansion as a dowry at the General's Mansion, is an acquaintance of ours. Hua Mama's daughter nearly died of smallpox. If I hadn't given her money for her daughter's treatment, she wouldn't be able to enjoy the family happiness she has now. If that's the case, why not ask Hua Mama to help deliver this letter for us?"
When Song Wanshi heard Nan Hongqiu's words, she also said happily, "This way, our current problem will be solved. Now why not write this letter as an invitation letter and ask Cui Xiaoxiao to come out and discuss it in detail."
"Don't be too clear in your letter. Let her think you can take advantage of her so you can ask her out." Nan Hongqiu was furious when she mentioned Song Wanning. "If it weren't for Song Wanning, I wouldn't have lost my innocence and been divorced by your father. Now your father has remarried, and I'm being laughed at at home every day. I can't even leave the house. I really have to avenge this."
Song Wanshi and Nan Hongqiu were now of the same blood. "Mother, I will definitely seek revenge someday. Although Song Wanning is a noble now, every rise brings a fall. Even though the Prime Minister is in power now, it doesn't guarantee he will remain so forever. He will surely fall one day, and that will be the time for us to take revenge."
Song Wanshi quickly wrote the letter and gave it to Nan Hongqiu, who then contacted Hua Mama in the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked her to deliver the letter to Cui Xiaoxiao.
Cui Xiaoxiaoyin's shop was now profitable, and she had two assistants in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Her dress and appearance were completely different from when she was in the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion. She was quite surprised when she received the letter.
At first, Song Wanshi had wanted to chop her into pieces, but the letter contained some hints of trying to win her over. Now, it seemed likely that Song Wanshi also wanted to use her to gain some connection with the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But she also knew that Song Wanshi and Song Wanning did not have a good relationship, and what she was going to do after contacting her was something Cui Xiaoxiao could not have imagined.
Cui Xiaoxiao glanced at the letter in front of her, handed it to the maid beside her, and said slowly, "Give this letter to the madam and ask her what she plans to do with it."
The maid beside Cui Xiaoxiao said yes, took the letter and went out.
Not long after, the maid returned with the letter. She looked at Cui Xiaoxiao and said, "Miss, the Madam has said that you might as well go to the appointment and see what they have to say. Don't rush to refuse yet. Come back and discuss it with the Madam before making any plans."
"Okay then." Cui Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said slowly, "But I guess there won't be anything good to say."
Cui Xiaoxiao was busy keeping an appointment, while Song Wanning called over Hua Mama, who was working in the mansion.
