Chapter 7: Cheating me out of money to renovate my lover's house?
Anyone who says that you can make a huge profit with no investment is a fraud.
In her previous life, Zhou Yan cheated her out of her money just like that.
Su Luo just smiled without saying anything, slowly turning the bracelet with her index finger.
A pair of beautiful eyes are smiling, like rippling autumn water.
This woman is so annoying.
Hooking him up all the time!
Zhou Yan felt awkward, his expression grim, and he started making up stories:
"I have a cousin who is a royal merchant. He runs a cloth business, supplying high-ranking officials and nobles. He recently wanted to expand his business, and no matter how many people offered money to join him, he refused. But he left a position for me."
"It's a good business to make money like this. I want to invest as much money as possible in it, but..."
"I'm short of money, and I need a little. I want to borrow some from you."
Su Luo's cherry lips curled up and a smile appeared on her face: "Why do you still want to borrow from me, my lord?"
Zhou Yan, who was somewhat arrogant, coughed softly and said in a restrained manner:
"The Marquis' Mansion is honest and upright, and there's no private money involved. We should be of one mind as husband and wife. How about this? You lend me eight thousand taels of silver..."
"Eight thousand!? Your Highness thinks that's too little?"
Su Luo smiled and asked for eight thousand. Why didn’t he just die?
Zhou Yan was feeling very tormented. He felt too embarrassed to ask his wife for money.
But thinking about Xiao Jiaojiao, I decided to give it a try!
"Is it a lot for Luo'er? Everyone knows that the Su family's ancestors for three generations were all wealthy merchants, and my father-in-law's generation was a great general who protected the country. Eight thousand silver is just a drop in the bucket."
Su Luo stared at him, and Furong smiled meaningfully:
"I don't know if the prince's relatives are reliable, but I do have a more stable business."
That cousin who was a royal merchant was just Zhou Yan's nonsense.
He has no such relative at all!
But the Su family's ancestors were in business and had extensive connections, so when he heard that it was a sure profit, his eyes lit up.
Su Luo was worried about how to take back the shops she had given to the Marquis' Mansion before her marriage.
She said, "My mother's family's largest industry is iron forging, which is used to supply the military arsenal. My mother is now running it."
"Since the prince is short of money, why not invest your money in it?"
"If you invest 10,000 taels today, you can earn 30,000 taels next month."
"I discussed it with my mother. You earn 80% and she earns 20%. With a stable business relationship and direct supply to the Ministry of War, the huge profits flowing into the Crown Prince's pocket every month."
"Really?" Zhou Yan pondered.
"How could I lie to the prince?" Su Luo tapped the table lightly without any expression.
"How about this, Master, why don't you invest the City West Blacksmith Shop and Rouge Shop that I gave you earlier?"
"Let me think about it..." Zhou Yan coveted the profit.
Su Luo was good at reading people's minds and shook her head.
"It's fine if the prince doesn't trust it. After all, not everyone who invests in this money can get a dividend."
"The housekeeper just wrote to say that my aunt has brought some money to my mother and is discussing joining the partnership..."
At this moment, Yun Ran hurried over and glanced at Zhou Yan:
"Young Madam, Prince..."
"My cousin also brought some money to our general's mansion. Madam said only one person could join the group. My cousin and aunt are almost fighting over this position!"
What she said was particularly exaggerated and true!
Time waits for no one.
"Luo'er, you won't lie to me, will you?" Zhou Yan sat there anxiously, his face filled with longing and urgency. "I can earn several times the money back, right?"
Su Luo waved a feather fan, hiding the sinister smile on the corner of her lips, revealing a pair of bright eyes:
"When it comes to doing business, there are gains and losses. But don't worry, my lord. When has my Su family ever suffered a loss?"
"Okay." Zhou Yan raised his head and slammed the table. "Huian, go get the deeds to the blacksmith shop and the rouge shop, and also get three thousand taels of silver notes and give them to the young lady."
The next moment, Hui'an was in great trouble.
Zhou Yan frowned and kicked him: "I told you to get some money for the Madam, what are you standing there for—"
Hui An couldn't help but put his ear close to Zhou Yan and whispered in a very low voice:
"You forgot that the blacksmith shop and rouge shop that Madam gave you before your marriage were both given to you to please your cousin."
Zhou Yan's expression turned unnatural.
Su Luo asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Prince? Where's the land deed?"
"Land, land deed, I'll get it right away. Don't worry, Luo'er." Zhou Yan hurriedly got up and left.
Looking at his hurriedly leaving figure, Su Luo said: "Yun Ran, you acted very well."
Yun Ran chuckled: "After following the girl for so long, this little trick is easy for me to master. It's no pressure at all."
Su Luo raised her eyebrows, her eyes showing a calculating and calculating move: "That little bitch Li Jiaojiao is going to have a headache."
Spit out everything she took.
Return everything you stole from her.
She pulled a wet handkerchief from her sleeve and threw it on the table.
Just now, when he covered his face with his hands to drink the chicken soup, he didn't drink a single sip and spit it all onto the handkerchief in his sleeve.
In his previous life, after Zhou Yan coaxed her into drinking the bowl of infertility soup, she suffered heavy bleeding from her lower body and nearly lost her life.
Li Ziyan hypocritically found a doctor who had colluded with her and said that she was in an emergency.
Zhou Yan cared deeply for her, and she was deeply moved for a long time...
Little did she know that this despicable man was the one who almost poisoned her to death!
…
Zhou Yan came to the villa with full confidence, and halfway through, he picked a few blooming peonies.
His little Jiaojiao doesn't like gold and silver jewelry. She is different from those worldly women who are obsessed with fame and fortune and smell of money!
I just like these little flowers and kittens, they are so cute and innocent!
He could just imagine how happy Xiao Jiaojiao would be when she saw these peonies!
He must be as happy as a little kid!
He held a carefully arranged bouquet of peonies and hid it behind his waist, then walked into the house with a smile: "Jiaojiao, look what I brought you?"
Li Jiaojiao's face was full of surprise, until she saw the bouquet of peonies, her heart plummeted!
It took all my strength to maintain a stiff fake smile on my face: "Wow! It's Peony."
"Yeah, yeah, I knew you liked it."
Haha, I don’t like it at all.
Li Jiaojiao sneered in her heart. She only liked two kinds of flowers:
One is to have money to spend, and the other is to spend it freely.
"Jiaojiao, where are the two shop deeds I gave you last time?" Zhou Yan held her in his arms.
"What's wrong?" Li Jiaojiao asked subconsciously with caution.
"I..." Zhou Yan said a little embarrassedly, "I want to take it back and give it to Su Luo."
At that moment, Li Jiaojiao's heart almost exploded, but she still suppressed her emotions and asked gently and harmlessly: "Why give it to her?"
"Never mind that. I wanted to give you a surprise."
Zhou Yan thought that when he invested the money in the Su family's business and made several times the profit, he would tell Jiaojiao, and she would definitely be very happy.
In order to maintain her image as a considerate and sweet-talking girl, Li Jiaojiao knew that she shouldn't ask too many questions.
But I still felt jealous and panicked, and had a strong sense of crisis.
Take back the things that were given to you and give them to Su Luo?
The next step is to give Su Luo the love that he has for himself?
Li Jiaojiao dug her nails into the quilt and didn't even notice when they broke.
More importantly, those two shops...
It's no longer in her hands!
