Chapter 506: A Big Disaster
Guangling Palace, Lanxue Garden.
Shen Qingtan took a bath and changed his clothes, then sat upright on the couch in the inner room.
Liu Yue picked up a large pillow and stuffed it behind Shen Qingtan's waist, then took out a piece of cotton cloth to wring out her long hair.
Tingxue handed a letter to Shen Qingtan: "Princess, this is a letter from the Great Zhou."
Shen Qingtan took the letter. It was slightly different from the thin letter before. It was bulging, not only big but also very thick, just like a steamed bun.
Surprise flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but sit up and look at her body.
On weekdays, only the letters written by my third brother have slightly thicker envelopes.
When I opened the fat envelope, I saw four or five letters inside. One of the letters was so thick that the envelope was almost bursting.
She glanced at it and saw "Sister Shen's Personal Address" written on the envelope.
This is a letter written by Qin Yao.
Shen Qingtan opened the letter from the little girl. Apart from three pieces of plain paper, the rest were silver bills.
Tingxue, who was standing nearby, saw this and jokingly said, "Miss Qin truly treats you like her own sister. She always prepares a copy for you whenever she gets something rare. She also slips you banknotes every now and then, as if she's worried you're not having a good time here and are being wronged."
"Yaoyao is very straightforward and honest." Shen Qingtan couldn't help laughing. "She always says that she knows I have enough money, and she gives me money from time to time to protect me. If I have a big expense one day, I don't have to worry about money."
As she spoke, she unfolded Qin Yao's letter.
Qin Yao said in the letter that Pei Wuyan had lost his value to Prince Yu and had also lost the opportunity to climb up the Duke's Mansion, so he had no choice but to hold on to her as a cash cow and emptied out half of his family assets to give her.
Shen Qingtan was not surprised by this.
After all, Pei Wuyan would not act rashly and would investigate the Qin family first.
Once he starts investigating, he will find out that Qin Yao is lying to him.
Boss Qin did not invest all his cash in business and get stuck, nor did he marry Qin Yao to his cousin in exchange for money to fill the gap because he could not make ends meet.
When he has sorted out everything, he will not think that Qin Yao is trying to trick him, but will only think that the Qin family is testing him to see if he is willing to spend half of the family's financial resources for Qin Yao.
Pei Wuyan originally came for the Qin family's property. After confirming that the Qin family was still financially strong, in order to show Boss Qin his determination to marry Qin Yao, he would willingly fall into Qin Yao's trap and give her 100,000 taels of silver.
Sure enough, Pei Wuyan took the bait.
Qin Yao also said in the letter that Pei Wuyan was delusional about making a fortune with a small investment, spending a small amount of money, and then destroying the Qin family. Then she used facts to tell Pei Wuyan that high-profit and high-return businesses also faced extremely high risks.
At the end, she even joked: All businessmen are dishonest, I will make him lose all his money.
Shen Qingtan smiled, folded the letter and put it back into the envelope.
The remaining letters were all written by Boss Qin.
In the letter, Boss Qin explained the shop's revenue situation and then mentioned that Qin Yao had cheated Pei Wuyan out of 100,000 taels of silver. He was worried that the little girl would get into trouble. If Pei Wuyan had no other use for her, he would find a way to eliminate the problem once and for all.
Shen Qingtan had an idea in mind, so he burned Boss Qin's letter and planned to reply.
At this time, the voice of a maid came from outside the courtyard: "Your Highness, may you be well."
Shen Qingtan paused and subconsciously looked out the window.
I saw that the window was closed and I could vaguely see a tall figure walking towards the house.
She walked quickly to the door and opened it.
I saw Zhao Yi standing at the door.
Shen Qingtan was about to speak.
Jiang Chao came hurriedly and said in a very unpleasant tone: "Master, someone is coming from the palace. Please come in."
