Being deceived?

When the onlookers heard this, their eyes lit up as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Today's excitement was full of twists and turns, even more exciting than storytelling in a teahouse.

It feels like this situation won't be over anytime soon, and some people nearby have already quickly moved out to sleep on the terrace.

Yu Jin said calmly: "Then tell me how to be deceived."

Cui Mingyue, hiding in the crowd, watched all this with an expressionless face.

"Someone...someone came to me with rose water and asked me to apply it on my face so that I could make trouble when a rash appeared on my face...Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was really deceived..."

"What benefit did that person give you?"

The young woman's eyes sparkled.

"say!"

The young woman lowered her head, knelt on the ground and swayed slightly: "Promise me a house and two hundred taels of silver..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers were shocked.

Houses in the capital are extremely expensive, so even a house that is a little far away is still worth a lot of money, not to mention two hundred taels of silver.

No wonder this woman is so reckless and doesn't even care about her reputation.

"Who is that?" Yu Jian asked this question without any hope of finding out anything.

As expected, the young woman stammered, "I don't know who that person is..."

"Men and women should know, right?"

Under the huge pressure, the young woman had lost her will to resist and lowered her head and said, "It's a young girl. Although I can't see her face clearly, but judging from her voice, she can't be more than 20 years old..."

In the crowd, Cui Mingyue's maid turned pale and whispered, "Miss——"

Cui Mingyue glared at her, still looking at her expressionlessly, her slightly clenched hands revealing a bit of her emotions.

"Anything else?"

"No... no, the girl covered her face, so I couldn't see her appearance..."

Yu Jinchong, the leading officer, nodded slightly and said, "You can take it away."

The young woman was stunned, and with a look of fear on her face, she cried and begged: "My Lord, I have said everything I can say, please forgive me..."

Yu Jin smiled: "I am just here to investigate the truth. Why should I spare you? It is up to the officials to decide what to do."

As the young woman was taken away, the onlookers applauded violently.

"Your Majesty is truly wise and powerful!"

Yu Jin's mouth twitched.

I've heard many ministers say this to the emperor, but it's really new that someone is using it on him.

Amidst all the praise, Yu Jin smiled and asked Jiang Si, "Does the princess like this rose perfume?"

Jiang Si nodded: "I like it."

“Then just buy it.”

Everyone was stunned.

What did the prince say?

Yu Jin smiled and explained, "It's to prevent someone from having bad intentions when they see that the shop is doing so well. What if the shop closes? What if the princess wants to use the perfume?"

This one sentence sums up the troubles of young women today.

After the initial surprise, Jiang Si smiled and said, "Thank you, husband."

They were travelling by car to visit the mansion of the Duke of Anguo, and they inadvertently heard someone making noises in the dew, so they hurried over.

Yu Qi knew that this shop was hers.

There are two possibilities for the woman's appearance. One is that Lu Shengxiang's business is booming, which has attracted the likes of her peers to plot against her; the other possibility is that she is here for her.

Regardless of the possibility, her identity as the mastermind behind Lushengxiang should not be exposed.

The rouge shop that Princess Yan opened before leaving the palace ruined her face...

Jiang doesn't seem to care about his reputation, but that doesn't mean he'll be happy when people gossip about him, nor does it mean he'll remain indifferent when people plot against him.

Of course, we can't just let today's incident go.

Yu Jin's approach undoubtedly solved the problem of dew fragrance.

He bought the shop openly and honestly, and from then on everyone knew that the Lu Sheng Xiang was bought by the Prince of Yan as a gift to his wife.

"Boss, let's go in and discuss it in detail." Yu Jin said to Madam Xiu and walked straight inside.

Lady Xiu lowered her head and did not dare to sweep in the direction of Jiang Si. After entering the shop and closing the door, she led Jiang Si and the others to the backyard, then hurriedly saluted: "This little lady has seen the prince and the princess."

Lu Chuchu reluctantly bowed to Yu Jin and looked at Jiang Si with burning eyes: "Miss Jiang, should I call you Princess from now on?"

Jiang Si pursed his lips and smiled: "It's just a title, whatever Miss Chuchu calls me."

Yu Jin said calmly: "Asi is my wife, so naturally I should call her princess."

Lu Chuchu rolled her eyes.

This person is still so petty!

"Manager Xiu, please ask a doctor to take a look at your injuries." Jiang Si said in a gentle voice.

Lady Xiu looked ashamed: "It doesn't matter if I'm injured, but I embarrassed the princess today. It's all my fault——"

Jiang Si waved his hands and said, "Manager Xiu, don't rush to take the responsibility. I remember that the rose perfume that the woman took today has a monthly sales limit, right?"

Lady Xiu nodded hurriedly: "Only thirty bottles per month."

Jiang Si opened this shop not for the sake of making some pocket money, but mainly to take pity on Miss Xiu, a middle-aged widow, and find her a job.

Unexpectedly, the perfume she prepared became so popular that she no longer had to worry about money. It was really an unexpected success.

Even so, Jiang Si had no intention of expanding the shop.

For her, having enough money is enough; she has never lacked money.

"Most of the people who buy this perfume are regular customers, right?" Jiang Si asked again.

Miss Xiu immediately handed the account book to Jiang Si.

"Most of them are regular customers. For those who come frequently, if I find out where they are from during a casual chat, I will write it down here."

Jiang Si lowered his head and flipped through the account book.

If it was a business competition, it would usually not be the woman who came forward to negotiate with the woman, so she was more inclined to the latter: today's matter was directed at her, and the person behind the scenes knew the relationship between Xiaolu Shengxiang and her.

The man who could set a trap and control a woman with a bottle of perfumed lotion costing twenty taels of silver must be extremely wealthy. He is definitely not the kind of person who would grit his teeth and buy this perfumed lotion just once to try it out, so the man is most likely a regular customer.

What surprised Jiang Si was Xiuniang's attentiveness.

Her fingers passed over the names and stopped somewhere.

There were three words written there: Princess Mansion.

Princess's mansion?

Jiang frowned and continued to look down.

There were neither too many nor too few regular customers, and Lady Xiu knew not all of them's identities, so those who could be recorded in the account book were quickly swept away.

Jiang Si's eyes fell on the three words "Princess Mansion" again, and he tapped them lightly with his fingers and asked Madam Xiu: "Which princess mansion is the guest from?"

"The one who often comes to buy perfume is a girl dressed as a maid. She is very proud and never chats with me. Only once when the perfume was out of stock, she got angry and mentioned the princess's mansion. She didn't say anything else..." Seeing Jiang Si's serious expression, Lady Xiu suddenly slapped her forehead, "Oh, you have seen that girl!"

Jiang Si flipped his hand and pressed it on the account book.

"It was the first time you took off your veil in front of the young lady. Then you left the shop and came back. At that time, the maid was accompanying the young lady to buy perfume."
