Chapter 283 The New Way for the Time-Traveling Woman to Make Money
Gu Xiangsi rolled her eyes and said to Zhuyue, "Have the soap samples been sent to Prince Qi's mansion?"
Zhuyue lowered her head and answered cautiously, "I sent it over two days ago, but there has been no response from the palace yet. I don't know if it's because His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi is too busy, so he hasn't sent any instructions yet."
Gu Xiangsi didn't care about this at all. King Qi was just a chess piece she was using.
She didn't care about King Qi at all.
Now, all her shops have been smashed and empty, and she has no way of opening a shop to sell things.
She originally wanted to renovate the newly bought shop and then start business.
But she was also worried that the person who smashed the shop would strike again.
If the shop was smashed again, wouldn’t she suffer a huge loss?
Wouldn’t it be a waste of time?
She now wants to use the shop of Prince Qi's Mansion and use it as a banner. With Prince Qi as her backer, the other party will always be a little cautious.
She believed that with the support of King Qi, the man who smashed the shop would definitely restrain his edge and would not dare to act recklessly again?
She firmly believed that this decision must be the right one.
"Let us increase production. I want our soap to be a huge hit and earn us countless fortunes..."
Gu Xiangsi looked very proud.
Thinking about the fortune she was about to make, a smile finally appeared on her face.
"On the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, please prepare twenty bars of soap for me. Make sure to choose the best quality. I will bring them into the palace and give them to the noble ladies of various palaces to promote our products so that everyone will like them..."
Gu Xiangsi talked incessantly about her plan, as if she saw countless silver waving at her, with a look of great joy on her face.
Lian Yue said flatteringly, "Miss, you are so ingenious and knowledgeable. Soap is such a rare thing that even the royal family must have never seen it. After using it once, they will definitely love it..."
"By then, our soap will be in short supply and we'll make a ton of money..."
"In the circle of nobles, Miss will surely become famous and be sought after and loved by countless noble ladies. She will also surely be loved and respected by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, and be held in his heart..."
In order to calm the young lady down, Lian Yue used her eloquence to say all the nice things she could, hoping to make the young lady feel better and let the four maids go.
When the young lady came back yesterday, she took her anger out on Zhuyue and ordered people to beat her with twenty boards. Now she is still lying in bed and can't get out of bed.
Zhuyue was clearly injured while protecting the young lady, but the young lady did not let her go.
Thinking of Zhuyue's end, Lianyue felt sad.
The young lady sometimes spoke nicely, treating the maids like sisters, but when it came to punishing them, she was ruthless and treated them as cruelly as if they were the murderers of her father.
If anything you do makes the lady even slightly dissatisfied, you will be severely punished by her.
They are powerless to resist and can only accept their duties. They can only do their best to do things to perfection and give their all.
Gu Xiangsi stared at Lian Yue and smiled faintly.
"You've been kneeling for so long, now get up! Hurry and complete the tasks assigned by me. Also, prepare all the jewelry and clothes you'll need to wear when entering the palace. Don't make any more mistakes, or I will not forgive you."
"On the Queen Mother's birthday, Lianyue will accompany me to the palace!"
"Yes, miss." Several maids answered in unison, then struggled to get up from the ground, supported each other, and limped out.
Gu Xiangsi looked at their backs, but his heart was as hard as stone, without any sympathy or pity.
Slaves are slaves, their lives are worthless!

Lin Pianran and Han Chaolin returned to the Duke of Huguo's mansion. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they were stopped by a servant. He hurriedly whispered, "Sir, the old lady and the second lady are making a fuss in the first lady's yard!..."
All of this was within Lin Pianran's expectations and there was nothing to be surprised about.
Lin Pianran instructed Huanxue, Tianzhu and the others, "Go clean up our yard first and put away the luggage you brought. Third brother and I will go take a look."
"Yes, miss."
Huanxue and Tianzhu nodded in agreement.
Lin Pianran and Han Chaolin looked at each other, and they understood each other and walked towards the backyard together.
The courtyard where Hua Xuewei lives is called Fragrance Courtyard. She loves planting various flowers and plants, so she gave it such an elegant name.
As soon as she reached the gate of the yard, Lin Pianran stopped.
Then, from the courtyard, the old lady's powerful voice came, "Hua Xuewei, how do you educate your children?"
"Han Yunxi used to be such a well-behaved and obedient child, but now she's listened to the instigation of that Yuhua County Lady and is so gullible that she trusts outsiders and treats her own family like thieves. Does she even have a brain?"
"This is simply a misunderstanding. After being cheated, you still happily help others count silver!"
At this time, a woman's voice was heard again. She instigated, "Sister-in-law, the child still needs to be educated well. Don't make friends with those bad people. If the child is led astray, it will be too late for you to regret it..."
"Look at Yun Xi. She was raised according to the standards of a lady from a noble family. She was dignified, polite, and graceful since she was a child. Now that she's with that Yuhua County Lady, she's actually learned those shameless and unreasonable behaviors of a shrew. As her second aunt, I almost don't recognize her anymore..."
Lin Pianran found it very funny to listen to the old lady and the second lady's derogatory words towards her.
These two shameless guys are really good at talking and they dare to say what they say.
Aren’t they afraid that she will break their clever mouths?
Those who want to sow discord and speak ill of her may fail in their plan.
Hua Xuewei is her biological mother, how could she not support her?
Then Hua Xuewei shouted angrily, "Shut up! You guys have done something shameful, you should know it yourself."
"Also, I advise you not to make up stories about Princess Yuhua. She's not as easy to talk to as I am. If your words get to her ears, she will definitely not let you go..."
After hearing this, the old lady shrank her neck. She had experienced Lin Pianran's methods.
Moreover, her indenture contract was still in the hands of that damn girl. What if she really offended Lin Pianran and she really got serious and sold her out? What would she do then?
By then, she would have no place to cry.
