Su Yu clicked his tongue twice: "Why didn't you also promote wolf jerky to him when you were selling wolf skins, and even give him the wolf jerky as a free gift?"
“He might not buy the wolf pelt, but he will definitely buy the wolf jerky. But if you sell him the wolf pelt right after you sell him the wolf jerky, he will inevitably feel annoyed by your eagerness for quick success,” Mu Wanting said.
Li Song nodded: "That's right, once you've tasted this wolf jerky, no one can resist it."
Mu Wanting's smile deepened: "Besides, if he doesn't buy it, I really will sell it to the Zhang family's shop. How could these two mortal enemies possibly see each other doing well?"
"I can forgive myself for my own failure, but my opponent's success is always heartbreaking!"
Su Yu laughed heartily, and then went to Mu Tiange with Mu Wanting to withdraw the money.
Mutian Pavilion is located all over the Great Xia Dynasty. She had arranged for her employees to deposit all the money she earned in the capital into Mutian Pavilion. She could withdraw the money from her account simply by presenting the token.
She withdrew five thousand taels of silver and also received several letters.
Some of the letters were sent by experts who were looking for her mother, who is still missing.
Mu Wanting replied, instructing those people to continue the search, while also continuing to issue tasks to find her mother, and entrusted Mu Tiange to deliver the commission to those experts.
Secondly, every word in the letters Zhao Zhiyuan wrote to her was filled with longing and regret.
Mu Wanting tore it up after reading it, without even blinking.
It's true, reading one of your letters wastes a quarter of an hour.
A scumbag's every word is saccharine and full of lovey-dovey sentiments, even if it contains some substantial information.
Thirdly, it was given to her by her personal maid, Cuizhu. Liu, Mu Guozhong's concubine, had somehow regained her position as the mistress of the house and even obtained some money from her family to supplement the Minister's mansion.
The two seemed to have returned to their previous sweet relationship, as if the warehouse theft had never happened.
Mu Wanting smiled and wrote a letter instructing Cuizhu to lead Liu to the villa in the western suburbs.
That's where Mu Guozhong's current favorite place is located; if I'm not mistaken, she's due to give birth in a month.
This dog-eat-dog world can't stop. Otherwise, wouldn't all those debts they inflicted on Mother, all the times they deceived and humiliated her, be forgotten?
The last letter was about Murong Rong, and Mu Wanting read it with great interest.
She also wanted to see if the marriage that Murong Rong had worked so hard to arrange would meet her expectations.
Murong Rong did not have a good time in the Yongle Marquis's mansion. First, there was the issue of her dowry, and the Marquis's wife disliked this daughter-in-law.
They came thinking they were going to help the down-on-their-luck Marquis's family, but little did they know they'd end up eating and drinking for free.
After Murong Rong took some money back from Liu Shi, the Lady Hou's expression improved slightly, and she continued to let her manage the household affairs.
However, Murong Rong had only learned a smattering from Liu Shi, and given her previous life of exile, she had no idea how to manage household affairs.
Simple accounts can be calculated, but more complex ones become a mess, and the underhanded dealings are hard to spot.
It was fine at first, but when the Lady of the Marquis discovered the discrepancy in the accounts and confronted her, Murong Rong couldn't say anything and could only stammer.
In a fit of anger, Lady Hou revoked the power to manage the household, and at the same time, she also took back the money that Murong Rong had brought with her.
Murong Rong went to argue with the Lady of the Marquis several times, but was always brushed off.
She was also criticized for not only being unable to manage her household but also failing to keep Zhao Zhiyuan's heart, and for being unable to bear children.
Murong Rong was so angry that she went back to her room and smashed many things.
"Zhao Zhiyuan spends all his time in brothels and has never even had a concubine, so how could I possibly get pregnant?"
Her maid, Xiangxing, gave her an idea.
"Princess Consort, the Prince is constantly drunk; how could he possibly recognize who is who? Why don't you send someone to bring him back? Then, while he's still intoxicated..."
Murong Rong's eyes lit up, and she immediately arranged for someone to bring Zhao Zhiyuan back. That night, Zhao Zhiyuan resisted to the death and still chose to masturbate.
The next day, Zhao Zhiyuan was furious and told Lady Hou that he wanted to divorce her, because Murong Rong had already schemed against him twice!
Lady Hou took Zhao Zhiyuan's words as a joke, but Zhao Zhiyuan never set foot in the Hou residence again.
Finally, it was said that Zhao Zhiyuan had left the capital to join the exiled troops.
He said he wanted to win Mu Wanting back, because Mu Wanting was the only one he wanted to spend his life with.
The culprit, Murong Rong, was naturally mistreated by her parents-in-law, and even her sisters-in-law and maids dared to ride roughshod over her.
Having no other choice, she had to send her servant to chase after Zhao Zhiyuan.
She couldn't understand why Mu Wanting had such a good life in her previous life, while her life was so miserable, even though they were both married to the same person.
But the thought of Mu Wanting's even worse situation made her feel much better.
A leopard can't change its spots; Zhao Zhiyuan will eventually return to the right path and become the top scholar in the imperial examination.
Mu Wanting smiled, and burned the letter after reading it.
Her dear younger sister is still too naive, having never experienced hardship. The Marquis's mansion is not as simple as it seems.
Zhao Zhiyuan was still undecided. His parents-in-law were domineering and powerful, his sisters-in-law were eyeing him covetously, and even the maids and servants treated him differently depending on who he was.
What she so desperately believed was that Zhao Zhiyuan would transform from a playboy into an ambitious top scholar—that was something she had painstakingly reversed in her previous life.
Because of overwork, his hair turned gray early, making him look older than his peers.
Even Zhao Zhiyuan, who appeared devoted to her in front of others, harbored many schemes against her and ultimately watched her die.
In this life, since Murong Rong is so eager to take on this mess, then let her take it.
