"What's the conflict of interest between my sister-in-law and Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Xiao Qin'er walked past the third wife Cui and quietly asked the second wife Ouyang Fu.
The third wife, Mrs. Cui, held her handkerchief, her face dignified, but she felt a little embarrassed in her heart.
Ouyang Fu raised her finger, hushed, and whispered, "I don't know either."
Xiao Qin'er looked towards Princess Huyang.
When Princess Huyang heard about the Youcai Casino, she vaguely guessed the truth. It looked like the casino was setting up a trap again. Could it be that it was targeting the Gu family?
That's not right!
My nephew's wife keeps saying it's a dispute over interests. Could it be that something big has happened?
Princess Huyang suddenly became nervous.
All her money was invested in Gu Jiu's business.
If Gu Jiu suffered losses, her money would also be lost.
No, no!
No matter what kind of conflict of interest it is, just confront it first.
Bang!
Princess Huyang knew very well the importance of making the first move, so she slapped the table.
Everyone looked at Hu Yang.
Why is Princess Huyang joining in the fun? Princess Chaoyang's face wrinkled into a ball.
Gu smiled secretly.
She is full of expectations for Huyang.
Huyang was filled with righteous indignation and shouted, "I was wondering why Aunt Chaoyang would bother Liu Zhao's wife for no reason. It turns out she's just jealous! Aunt Chaoyang, since you did this, I have to say something to you."
Is it easy for Liu Zhao's wife to run a small business and earn some money for everyone? It's not easy! Such a small business, you still want to compete with her, as an elder, do you have the nerve to do it?
You're so shameless that you don't even bother to respect your elders by snatching things from the younger generation. Then don't blame the younger generation for not respecting you. Just based on what you've done, you don't deserve respect!"
"Good!" Someone cheered, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly dropped to freezing point.
So embarrassing!
The parties may sit in the front.
Who on earth can’t control his mouth and dares to say “good” to my face!
It's so infuriating!
Princess Chaoyang's face almost turned green with anger. "Huyang, if you don't know the inside story, don't say anything. I didn't steal Liu Zhao's wife's business. I have never had any contact with Liu Zhao's wife before. This is all Liu Zhao's wife trying to find a pretext to accuse me.
This is completely nonsense. As the wife of a prince, you are picking on innocent people. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you are pregnant? Liu Zhao's wife, tell everyone what I have taken from you. If you don't explain clearly, I will never let you go. Even if you go to the emperor to complain, I will accompany you.
Everyone looked at Gu Jiu curiously.
yes!
After talking for so long, we still don’t know what Princess Chaoyang stole from Gu Jiu?
Let me at least explain to everyone why these two people had a conflict.
If you can't even understand what you are watching, you are not a qualified spectator.
Princess Huyang also said, "My nephew's wife, please tell me what happened. If Aunt Chaoyang really wants to take your things, I will take care of it for you."
Princess Chaoyang sneered.
Rob?
Is it considered robbery if I openly seek the position of Shaofu Household Director?
She just didn't believe that Gu Jiu would dare to reveal the truth.
A wife of a prince, a female member of the inner court, actually dared to interfere with the appointment and replacement of court officials. Who gave her the courage?
Is it Liu Zhao?
What does Liu Zhao want to do?
Want to rebel?
Princess Chaoyang had already made up her mind. If Gu Jiu dared to speak, she would accuse Liu Zhao of trying to control the Shaofu and plotting a rebellion.
Never mind whether this is true or false.
As long as it is related to rebellion, even if it is false, Your Majesty will not tolerate it.
Because the word "rebellion" is the curse of all emperors.
Can't listen!
Even the mildest-tempered emperor would become distorted upon hearing the word "rebellion".
Gu Jiu looked at Princess Chaoyang with a half-smile, "Your Highness, please tell me clearly."
Princess Chaoyang glanced at her. "Could it be that what I said myself was false? Or are you afraid to speak clearly?"
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Since Her Royal Highness the Princess has invited me so graciously, how can I refuse? Without going into details about the past, let's just say that in the first year of Wende, the Youcai Casino indirectly caused the destruction of 52 families. Seventeen families were directly destroyed by the Youcai Casino.
Three deaths were reported, and eighteen people were illegally trafficked. Five women were robbed, and ten hectares of fertile land were seized. Two of the robbed women eventually entered the Princess's residence, where they were subsequently insulted by Her Majesty's eldest son and grandson.
Yes, you heard correctly. The woman my father had abused was now abused by his son. The ten hectares of fertile land that had been seized passed around several times before finally being registered under the name of Zhao Ming. You know who Zhao Ming is? He's the butler of the Princess's residence.
Throughout the first year of Wende, Youcai Casino paid less than five thousand taels in taxes, yet its annual turnover reached two million taels. How much tax was evaded? Tomorrow I'll remind the tax officials at the Ministry of Revenue to carefully check Youcai Casino's books."
"Shut up!" Princess Chaoyang's nose was crooked with anger.
She never expected that Gu Jiu would do something strange and dare to lift the lid of Youcai Casino, exposing the naked truth to everyone.
What’s even more terrible is that most of the people present today are members of the royal family.
The royal family sticks together externally, but internally, they are always fighting among themselves, always dragging their feet, and always fighting.
As long as not all the members of the royal family are dead, the internal strife will never stop.
When Gu Jiu lifted the lid, Princess Chaoyang knew that she was in big trouble.
She regretted not stopping Gu Jiu at the first moment.
She just wanted to hear what Gu Jiu had to say about the Shaofu Household Order, but it led to this serious consequence.
Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.
They saw surprise, jealousy and hatred on each other's faces.
With an annual turnover of two million taels, conservatively estimated, even if the profit is only 10%, that would still be two hundred thousand taels!
So rich!
Many members of the royal family were so poor that they had to go to the Shaofu and various royal palaces to beg for money every year.
Not to mention two hundred thousand taels, they couldn't even come up with two thousand taels.
The many ladies from the royal family who visited Princess Huyang's mansion today only brought two pieces of cloth as a gift, which was not even worth ten taels of silver.
Princess Huyang waved her hand. She didn't mind the smallness of the gifts. As long as the people arrived, it was fine.
Gu Jiu presented facts and data, successfully arousing everyone's hatred of the rich.
This is different from hating Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu was doing business seriously, helping everyone earn dividends and never taking all the profits for himself.
Many members of the royal family invested money in Gu Jiu's projects and reaped the benefits.
Everyone’s hatred towards Gu Jiu is more about why they didn’t call him in the first place?
Why didn’t you launch any new projects in the past two years? At least those who didn’t seize the opportunity before can also get some benefits!
This hatred is tinged with a touch of admiration and anticipation. It's more like hope than hatred.
Gu Jiu is the God of Wealth in everyone's mind, and the royal family members are all waiting to share the dividends with her.
However, at this moment, everyone really hated Princess Chaoyang without any concessions.
OK!
Not only did he open a casino and make money, but he also lured his own people to gamble in the casino from time to time and set traps for them.
Damn, it’s really easy to kill the familiar ones.
It's not a thing.
It would be best to ask Princess Chaoyang to spit out all the money.
In the hall, buzzing!
Everyone was whispering and looking down on Princess Chaoyang.
Many people have started to rack their brains, is there any way to deal with Princess Chaoyang?
No matter how poor everyone is, they still have one or two connections, and they also have a few influential relatives who are close to them.
Everyone thought that Princess Chaoyang must be made to pay for her actions no matter what.
Who told her to eat alone, kill her familiars, and harm others?
"Liu Zhao's wife, please stop slandering me."
Princess Chaoyang became anxious.
She knew the expressions on the faces of the wives of the royal family too well.
These people are all capable of causing trouble rather than helping others. They fail to accomplish anything and are more capable than the other in hindering others. They are always unwilling to see others have an easy life.
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "Her Royal Highness the Princess repeatedly asked me to tell you, and I couldn't refuse. Moreover, everything I said is true, not a single lie."
Princess Chaoyang was furious. "I asked you to talk about business, why are you talking about Youcai Casino? What does Youcai Casino have to do with me? How has Youcai Casino bothered you? Is Youcai Casino stealing your business, or is it eating up your palace's rice?"
Gu Jiu played dumb and blinked, "That's not right! Youcai Casino has nothing to do with the Princess's Mansion. Why did the women abducted by the casino end up in the Princess's Mansion? Why did the fertile land seized by the casino also end up in the Princess's Mansion? Ten hectares a year, that's a hundred hectares in ten years. It turns out that the Princess's Mansion is the real big landlord in the capital, really well hidden."
Everyone agreed and nodded repeatedly.
Princess Chaoyang’s mansion is hidden too deeply.
"Bullshit!" Princess Chaoyang, no longer caring about her dignity, cursed loudly, "Liu Zhao's wife, stop talking about Youcai Casino. You said I stole your business. Tell everyone, what business did I steal from you?"
Gu Jiu smiled, then his face fell and he angrily shouted: "You stole my customers and my partners, does that count as robbery?
One of my business partners originally agreed to invest 100,000 taels in his business, but he went to your Youcai Casino and lost everything, completely shutting down his business.
If this isn't robbing money and business, what is it? Youcai Casino is dishonest. They even stole the money and put it in my name, stealing my cooperative funds. How can I tolerate this?"
"I can't stand it!"
As Gu Jiu's number one fighter, Princess Huyang would of course rush forward at this time.
