Chapter 282: Loss of Money
Li Yue still wanted to fool around, but after taking a look at Su Qingwan, she felt that she shouldn't lie to her. The Third Master sent her to Su Qingwan so that everything would be based on Su Qingwan. It was Li An's idea to keep it a secret from the princess, and he was afraid that the princess would worry. Li Yue felt that she shouldn't keep it a secret either.
"Princess, the Third Master was drugged by someone. The girl from the Sun family went crazy in order to marry the prince as his concubine, and she held a knife to force him. When the Third Master tried to grab the knife, the drug took effect and he stabbed himself instead. The Sun family in the south of the city only wanted to cling to the rich and powerful, but they didn't dare to cause trouble. Miss Sun called for help, which alarmed the guards. The prince was almost killed by her and lay in bed for more than ten days. He was just able to get out of bed a few days ago, but was called to the palace by the princess to handle state affairs. His wounds were torn, he had a high fever, and he was not very conscious. The imperial physician said he needed to rest for a few days." Li Yue repeated what she had investigated, and then specifically said, "I went to see the Third Master. He was not in a good spirit. The knife hurt his vitality."
"Where is the upper one?" Su Qingwan was a little unhappy. She knew that the palace was dangerous, but she didn't expect that someone would take such a risky move. Lu Jing couldn't break up with the noble family, and the woman was bold enough. If Lu Jing was greedy for beauty, she would succeed. The concubine of the Regent's Palace was almost as important as the emperor's concubine, and the Sun family could cling to this big tree.
That’s nice to think about!
"Abdomen!" Li Yue said, it was a close call.
"Then Miss Sun knows martial arts?" Su Qingwan was really a little displeased. Lu Jing had been through hundreds of battles and it was impossible for him to be ambushed by a powerless woman. Even if he had been drugged and lost his mind, it would not be possible.
"Yes." Li Yue thought Su Qingwan was concerned about Miss Sun, and hurriedly explained, "The Third Master has been dealt with. He was arrested and imprisoned in the Jinyiwei prison that night. Although the Sun family is trying to smooth things over and get him released, Li An has not released him yet. He said that he will discuss this matter after the Third Master is fully recovered."
"It's time to teach him a lesson and make an example of him, otherwise there will be endless troubles." Su Qingwan's tone was indifferent. Seeing that she no longer cared about Lu Jing's injury, Li Yue didn't dare to say anything more.
The princess was really indifferent, as if the fact that the Third Master was stabbed was not a very important matter to her.
At night, before going to sleep, Qingyun was making the bed and putting some soothing incense. Su Qingwan was dressing in front of the bronze mirror. Qingyun said, "Miss, you didn't sleep well last night. I put some tranquilizing powder. Go to bed early."
"Qingyun, are we the underwriter of the Sun family's tea business?" Su Qingwan asked.
"It seems so." Qingyun is now in charge of the Xie family's voice, and it is also very smooth. He has been with Su Qingwan for a long time and knows her thoughts. "Miss, do you want to deal with the Sun family?"
"Let's release the underwriting rights and see who dares to take it."
"good!"
The Xie family is the largest merchant in the tea business. More than half of the tea business in Jiangnan is in the hands of the Xie family. After tea farmers sell their tea to vendors, most of them will look for the Xie family to distribute it. Because the imperial court has very strict control over tea, private business will be sentenced. Those who can obtain the right to operate tea have connections and backgrounds.
If the Xie family doesn't want someone else's tea and the word gets out in the industry, his tea will probably be wasted.
Qingyun said, "The Sun family's main business is green tea, which can't last long. If we don't take his business, this year's tea will be in jeopardy, and the loss will be heavy. Will it affect the Xie family?"
"What are you afraid of? Get my name out there. Princess Huainan forced me to do this. Who can blame the Xie family?" Su Qingwan said calmly. "If you bully my people, I can't kill them, but I can ruin their fortunes."
