Chapter 224 Who are you going to meet secretly?
The carriage had stopped at the door of Mingyue Restaurant, which had been booked by Prince Xiao. All those who came to greet them at the door were from Prince Xiao's mansion. The two maids, Xiaowu and Shaoyao, stood beside the carriage, one on each side helping the little princess get out of the car, and waited for Prince Xiao to follow behind.
Not far away, many people gathered to watch. When they saw Princess Xiao coming out of the carriage, their eyes were filled with joy. They didn't expect that Princess Xiao was such a young girl.
When they reached the steps, Ji Xiaohan took two quick steps and personally held the little princess's hand. This scene caused quite a stir in the eyes of outsiders. The couple lived in harmony and treated each other with respect. This was probably like Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao, right?
Ji Xiaohan took advantage of this opportunity to answer the little princess's question, saying, "Those three families have always been at odds with Zhouji Grain Store. The owners behind them are often connected to those people in the Imperial City. Naturally, they look down on Zhouji, which has no background. Even if they sold grain at a low price this time, they would have been a thorn in the eyes of those three families. This opportunity is perfect to deal with them all at once. Speaking of which, I have to thank the princess for finding a good opportunity for me."
The corners of Su Wanyan's mouth twitched slightly. "So, when I first proposed using this method to help the disaster victims, you agreed so readily?"
What a scheming and sinister man!
This man can use everything to achieve his great cause. With this method of taking ten steps at a time, it is no wonder that the Dog Emperor cannot defeat him. No matter what the Dog Emperor does, he will end up making wedding dresses for Ji Xiaohan.
Ji Xiaohan didn't deny it, "I originally planned to support the expansion of Zhouji. It's just right to cooperate with the Meng family to monopolize this route between Jinzhou and Quanzhou. The princess's method is the best shortcut."
Su Wanyan thought for a moment and figured it out. "The disaster victims have benefited from Zhouji Grain Shop here. When they return to their hometowns, if Zhouji Grain Shop, Mengjia Shop, and so on also appear in their hometowns, this will be the best invisible publicity, and the business chain will be connected."
What's more, at that time, the three shops were monopolized by Ji Xiaohan and he killed two birds with one stone. It worked smoothly and no one would associate it with him.
"The princess is indeed smart." Ji Xiaohan gently pinched the little princess's hand and praised her.
It wasn't that she was smart, it was clearly that Ji Xiaohan was too terrifying. Not only did he annoy the Dog Emperor, but he was also able to expand his business empire, grabbing both people and money.
"Your humble servant Qiu Mingyuan requests an audience with His Majesty!"
Outside the restaurant, Qiu Mingyuan hurried over after receiving a report from his subordinates, but he only saw the hem of Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao's clothes disappearing around the corner of the stairs. He wanted to chase them, but was stopped by the guards guarding the door.
Qiu Mingyuan's voice was quite loud, but King Xiao and his wife went upstairs talking and laughing, as if they didn't hear it.
After Su Wanyan walked back to the room, she immediately ran to the window, carefully opened a little gap, and looked downstairs. She saw Qiu Mingyuan was not able to see her, but he did not dare to show his dissatisfaction. He walked around for a few times before leaving. He did not go to his prefectural government office, but walked out of the sight of Mingyue Restaurant and turned into another alley.
There was something fishy about his appearance. I wonder who he was trying to meet secretly in broad daylight?
Su Wanyan discovered a new world and called Ji Xiaohan over, "Didn't you say that Qiu Mingyuan has no one behind him?"
