Chapter 919: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 61
Nie Nanyue felt like the sky was falling!
She felt that Yun Ye definitely did not marry Ji Yun Huan voluntarily, and it was all for the sake of getting married! But Yun Ye said in front of her that he had to hurry back to see Huan Er, and even complained that she was dawdling.
Nie Nanyue's heart was broken. She thought she was different. She felt that Yun Ye just hadn't figured it out yet and had never thought about getting married. When Yun Ye was willing to marry, she would definitely have a chance.
So she kept a perfect distance from Yun Ye, helped him run the shop, and often made appointments to meet him. She thought she was doing a good job, and Yun Ye was also very generous to her, but why did she lose to Ji Yunhuan who suddenly appeared!
The matter is done, but Nie Nanyan is still a little unwilling. "You are so generous. You gave me 10% of the profit as soon as you said it. My cousin and I have known each other since childhood and we have a deep friendship. It's not enough that you don't guard against me, but you also do business with me. Aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to snatch my cousin away?"
Ji Yunhuan chuckled, "Knowing each other since childhood? Deep friendship? Cousins who are thousands of miles apart? Yun Ye's legitimate cousins are all in Longzhou, and the Nie family is stationed in Longzhou, and Yun Ye may never set foot in Longzhou in his life. You are just surnamed Nie, and you have no connection with the Nie family in Longzhou."
"If he liked you, he would have married you a long time ago. It's just a business partnership. What kind of friendship can there be?"
Nie Nanyan blushed and retorted, "That's because the Duke's wife disagrees. I know that I come from a lowly family, so it's normal for the Duke's wife to look down on me..."
Thinking of Ji Yunhuan's lower class background, and the fact that he had been promised to someone before, and the scandal that had occurred, Nie Nanyue's words lacked confidence, and her voice became smaller and smaller.
"Yun Ye has never been a person who allows others to manipulate him. If he really wants to marry you, he will rush to your side through fire and water, no one can object. So Miss Nie, give up on this idea, he doesn't have you in his heart at all!"
Ji Yunhuan was extremely confident and unbridled, his eyes and eyebrows showing the fearlessness of being favored.
"Of course, if you insist on liking him, I can't control your heart, but if you are stupid and used as a gun by others, and cause any scandal, you can only blame yourself for being stupid. I will not be merciful."
Nie Nanyue is not stupid, and a stupid person cannot build such a big business. Jinguang Pavilion was built up famous by Nie Nanyue bit by bit. Yun Ye provided money and influence, and was the backer of Jinguang Pavilion. But Yun Ye was a grown man, so how could he know what looks good and what sells well? It all depended on her day-to-day thinking.
The last time Mrs. Dong came to Jinguang Pavilion, she praised her in every word and every word. She was really moved, as if the position of Crown Prince's Consort was just around the corner.
If you think about it carefully, Mrs. Dong has always looked down on her, so why is she praising her all of a sudden? There must be something fishy going on!
Ji Yunhuan touched her belly and said softly, "It's been three months now. I'm not afraid to announce it to the public. I'm pregnant, so the Duke gave me two shops and a farm."
Shopkeeper Xu immediately said, "Congratulations to the Crown Prince's Consort! This is a great thing. The employees in Jinguang Pavilion will receive double their monthly salary this month. Everyone should share in the Crown Prince's Consort's good fortune."
Nie Nanyue had completely given up hope. Madam Dong was setting a trap for her. Madam Dong said that Ji Yunhuan was in poor health and it would be difficult for her to get pregnant. As long as she entered the mansion and got pregnant and gave birth to the eldest son, she would be honored as a concubine and would definitely be able to suppress Ji Yunhuan.
Ji Yunhuan was already pregnant, how could she suppress Ji Yunhuan? Could it be that if she really became an unloved concubine, her life would be worse than the carefree life she has now?
Mrs. Dong's big pie was too fake, but she just couldn't let go of Yun Ye and almost believed it! Everything is fake, only the real money in hand is real!
Nie Nanyue laughed dryly twice, "Congratulations, I understand. Take me to the new shop when you have time. Jinguang Pavilion was designed by me. I won't take your money for nothing."
"Mrs. Dong is really a tough girl. She is just afraid that Yun Ye will get closer to the Nie family. She is afraid that Yun Ye will marry me. She is on guard against me like a thief. But Yun Ye is so filial to his stepmother. He is so stupid!"
"You are not a weak person who can be bullied. You come to me to show off your power and use both soft and hard tactics. If I don't agree, you will not let me go. You are a very deep-seated person in the Duke's Mansion. Yun Ye is a big fool. You can fight him. I am afraid of you. I'd better do my business honestly."
Shopkeeper Xu breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the two ladies would fight. Now everything is peaceful.
Later, Yun Ye came in with a knife on his waist, and said cheerfully: "What are you talking about so happily? I heard that you were still in Jinguang Pavilion, so I came over. What important matter requires you to stay for so long? Aren't you afraid of getting tired?"
Ji Yunhuan was surprised and said, "It's not time to get off duty yet, and you are disobedient again, you promised to do your duty well."
Yun Ye felt a little guilty, "It's nothing serious. Today is the day my brother goes home. The academy only has a day off every half a month. I'll go back to see my brother early. My father won't scold me if he finds out. He must have gone back a long time ago!"
Nie Nanyan called out "Young Master", and Yun Ye waved at her, "No need to be polite, you guys are busy, I'll take Huan'er away first!"
Although he said he wanted to go back early to see his brother, Yun Ye dragged Ji Yunhuan to watch cockfighting.
The cockfighting I saw on the street before was just a small fight, but the cockfighting arena was really lively, with the sounds of betting coming one after another.
But Prince Yun naturally didn't need to squeeze. He took Ji Yunhuan to the private room. Ji Yunhuan watched the lively fight below. They arrived late, and the winner was almost decided.
"I still remember that day when you were watching cockfighting on the street and praised them for being awesome. I asked you to buy one for fun, but you thought it was too expensive and refused to pay."
"Now that you have money, you dare not spend it. You still need me to take you out to spend it. Buy what you like. Yuhuayuan is big enough and there are servants who are good at raising fighting cocks. Buy a few more and you can play with them at home."
"I think Shen Yu is pretty good. He has won three rounds in a row. He must be the champion today. The new one is also very fierce. It will become more powerful if you raise it. Let's buy it. Do you like it?"
Ji Yunhuan felt that she was willing to spend money and she didn't lose out, but Yun Ye always thought she was stingy. It was all prejudice!
Ji Yunhuan held Yun Ye's hand and muttered, "This thing is just for show. You can't eat it or wear it. It's so expensive. It just takes up space. Don't buy it. I don't really like it."
"You little money-grubber! Once the money goes into your pocket, it won't come out." Yun Ye pinched Ji Yunhuan's face and said with a smile, "I'll buy it for you and I won't spend your dowry."
"That's expensive! Just buy one. I don't like the fierce ones. I like that one!"
Ji Yunhuan pointed at a fighting cock with bright fur on the field. It looked pretty and colorful. This was the one he picked.
Yun Ye bought five or six in the end. Ji Yunhuan was afraid that these creatures would peck people in the mansion, so he asked the servants to send them all to Yumei Garden.
Yun Ye spent the money and felt relieved. He took Ji Yunhuan to the carriage and finally went home.
