Chapter 198: Buy and Sell (1)
"A pretty little girl, surnamed Shen, probably from the Shen family." Ji Yushu scratched his head: "But she is very fierce and ignored my elegance."
As soon as the words fell, the teahouse fell into an eerie silence. After a moment, Gao Yang smiled and looked at Xie Jingxing, "I think I know who it is. This little girl from the Shen family is quite powerful." Although his smile was gentle, his tone revealed a bit of sharpness.
"Actually, I find it strange, too," Ji Yushu shuddered, scratching his head. "I looked carefully when she came over just now. It didn't look like this was her first time doing business at Bai Xiaosheng. I asked Hongling, but I'd never seen her before. Our business is secretive, and aside from a few officials in Dingjing, I'm afraid no one knows about it. How... did she know?"
"This girl is no ordinary woman," Gao Yang pondered. "I originally thought the Dingjing Shen family was just a piece of fat meat that would be swallowed up sooner or later. Now it seems that the waters are deeper than I imagined." He glanced at Xie Jingxing and found that the latter lowered his head in thought, so he asked, "What do you think?"
Xie Jingxing raised his head and looked at Ji Yushu: "Her conditions, have you agreed?"
"Such a big matter, I have to discuss it with you." Ji Yushu said with a smile, "But I guess the Shen family is very wealthy and powerful, and they have a strong military force. If what the Shen family girl said is true, it should be much easier for Third Brother Xie to find a job in the future. After all, she doesn't know that our Fengxian Pawnshop is secretly Third Brother's property."
While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. The young lady surnamed Shen probably didn't know that the promise she made would ultimately benefit Xie Jingxing. However, don't blame her, because even Hongling, who had worked as a manager at the Fengxian Pawnshop for many years, was unaware of the serious consequences of this.
"That being said..." Gao Yang pondered, "This gamble is too big. If she's not careful, the news she's going to spread will attract the attention of the royal family. We must be careful now. If something goes wrong, the loss will outweigh the gain. As for the loss of one more Shen family member, the Shen family wasn't part of the original plan, so there's no need to worry too much."
"What you said makes sense." Ji Yushu nodded and looked at Xie Jingxing: "But in the end, it's still up to Third Brother to make the decision."
"You agreed to her conditions."
As soon as Xie Jingxing finished speaking, Gao Yang frowned and asked, "Why did you make such a hasty decision?"
"Since the Shen family has become a variable, it doesn't mean they won't be useful in the future. They can still be used to deal with certain people. As for the news she wants to spread, it's aimed at Prince Yu's Mansion." Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "It's just right, so we don't have to take action to deal with it, which saves us a lot of trouble."
When he said that, they all remembered. Ji Yushu clapped his hands and said, "Yes, I almost forgot. She was going to spread the news of rebellion in Prince Yu's Mansion. Is this targeting Prince Yu's Mansion? Does Prince Yu's Mansion have a grudge against the Shen family?"
Ji Yushu had just returned to Dingjing City, and he usually didn't pay attention to the romantic affairs between the young ladies of official families. He was still unclear about these things and felt a little confused.
Gao Yang understood. He knew the grudge between Shen Miao and Prince Yu, and he couldn't help but look askance. If an ordinary girl encountered such a thing, she would be afraid of the power of Prince Yu's Mansion. But Shen Miao was not afraid, she was even waiting for an opportunity to strike back. She was quite clever. Since Prince Yu's Mansion had the support of the royal family, she would first sow discord with them. If the royal family became suspicious of Prince Yu, then naturally, the life-saving talisman behind Prince Yu's Mansion would be useless.
But even so, what else can she do?
"Take this deal." Xie Jingxing said, "Notify the Jiangnan Chen family as soon as possible."
