Chapter 78 The Cold-Faced Prince

Chapter 78 The Cold-Faced Prince

Yuchuan and the driver were both startled.

The one who was even more confused was the other party, especially the man in black who was driving the coach. He had been sitting lazily with one leg propped up, but now he was so scared that he immediately sat up straight and almost drew out the long sword at his waist.

Oh my God, what’s this woman up to? Does she know who’s sitting in the car?

While she was guessing, Su Jin also spoke slowly: "I meet Prince Rui."

Prince?!

Now it was Yuchuan and the coachman's turn to be dumbfounded.

Just now he was so confident that he was ready to fight to the death with the other party, but now his legs are shaking.

Still, still, the Prince?!

“Plop!”

“Plop!”

There were two sounds of people kneeling down behind them. Yuchuan was fine, after all she had seen the world and was relatively steady. The driver was so frightened that he could hardly kneel. Oh, what did he just say? He said that Prince Rui had jumped out of a corner...

It's over. Will the entire clan be exterminated?

The driver became even more panicked.

But Su Jin remained calm.

Prince Rui is the heroine's backer. The reason why her Dixiang Pavilion could be built so quickly is because of Prince Rui's support.

Soap first became popular in the palace, so the heroine's Dixiang Pavilion was a big hit right after it opened, because the heroine had already become famous. Things in the palace are the weather vane, and they are the biggest trend.

Later on, many people learned to make soap from the heroine, and some people did make some money in the beginning, but Prince Rui took action later on and closed the shops one after another. It was not because he was afraid of competition from them, but because Prince Rui wanted to dominate the soap business alone. Just like salt, wine, and tea were all controlled by the government, the same could be done with soap.

So, from the very beginning, Su Jin didn't want to get involved in the soap business. All she wanted to do was give it away for free, not to divide the profit pie, not even to pick up the crumbs. She just borrowed the popularity of the heroine's soap to help herself clear out the inventory.

Besides, the silk shop's stock has been almost cleared out anyway, so it doesn't matter even if Prince Rui stops her from doing it now. Her goal has been achieved. It's better not to give away the soap, and it can also save money.

Therefore, Su Jin is now extremely calm. She already knows the purpose of Prince Rui's visit, and her own goal has been achieved, so she is not panicking anymore.

The small window on the carriage was covered with a layer of gauze, and the outline of the man inside could be vaguely seen, but as for what he looked like or how old he was, no one knew.

Although the original body had participated in the palace banquet, Gu Changqing was only a fifth-rank official, and it was difficult for him to even catch a glimpse of the emperor's face, let alone pay attention to the appearance of Prince Rui.

However, I have heard that this prince is young and promising, and is the younger brother of the current emperor from the same father and mother.

In ancient copies, the biggest BOSS is the emperor, who is the BOSS’s younger brother, so he should not be provoked.

Su Jin lowered his head even lower, being absolutely respectful and meticulous.

So, what Prince Rui saw in the carriage was such a calm and composed lady from the Marquis's Mansion, who was not at all panicked.

The atmosphere became quiet for a while.

No one spoke, only the man in black who was driving the carriage slowly put his sword back to his waist.

After a long time, a man's cold and majestic voice came from the carriage: "How did you recognize me, madam?"

"My lord, I heard that the soap from the Dixiang Pavilion was first popular in the palace. Even the emperor loves it. I also saw the prince's carriage in the Dixiang Pavilion a few days ago."

The people in the carriage were quiet again, and Su Jin was not in a hurry. He focused on being as steady as a rock.

"Then, do you know why I am looking for you?"

"Your Majesty, my soaps will be delivered today. Except for the three sets of soaps that have been ordered by customers who have paid deposits in advance, the rest will not be delivered."

The man in the carriage seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect Su Jin to be so smart and seemed to have known everything already.

But Prince Rui did not make his words final. He only said, "No need. Give me a month. I will give you an answer in a month."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Jin responded and slowly stepped back to make way for Prince Rui's carriage. Seeing this, the coachman stumbled to his feet and drove the carriage. Soon the alley was cleared, and the man in black whipped the horse with an expressionless face, and the carriage slowly drove away.

After the carriage left, Zou came in hurriedly from outside and asked in surprise, "Madam, is that Prince Gong's carriage?"

Su Jin exhaled: "Mother, if you can't sell your soap, just sell it all to me."

"You, you already knew that Prince Rui was behind the Dixiang Pavilion?!"

"I don't know. I just guessed it recently. Mother, it's better not to open this shop."

"Of course we can't open it!" Zou was so anxious that she turned around and around: "Looking at this, I have to thank the people of Liuji. If they hadn't done evil and ruined a lot of soaps, maybe I would be the one stuck in the alley today..."

The more Zou thought about it, the more horrified she felt. How could Prince Rui take a fancy to such a small piece of soap?

By the way, wasn’t it because the emperor loved this thing so much that he even praised it in the court that this soap became popular?

Prince Rui is the emperor's younger brother. It is reasonable for an elder brother to promote his younger brother. There is nothing wrong with that!

"Fortunately, fortunately, this means that I have not offended Prince Rui..."

For the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, which is about to decline, not offending anyone is the greatest luck. This time, it is all thanks to the eldest lady.

Zou was extremely grateful.

"Mother, please go back first."

"well!"

The two carriages left one after another.

Under the shade of the green willows by the river, the black covered carriage stood quietly.

Fingers as cold as jade lifted the curtain, revealing a dignified and handsome face.

The man wore a jade belt around his waist, a crown with a gold rim, sharp eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and bright red lips. If his breathing was not audible, one would think he was as cold as snow.

"Zhuifeng, have you revealed my whereabouts?"

Zhuifeng felt wronged: "Your Majesty, I didn't say anything."

"That is, the lady of the Marquis's Mansion is extremely intelligent, but, isn't she said to be very stupid?"

"People say she is domineering and doesn't know how to behave in society, but no one has ever said she is stupid. After all, she is the daughter of a great family in Hexi."

Not being able to deal with things and being stupid are two completely different concepts.

Zhao Jingyu didn't care about this, he just said: "If pancreas can really become an indispensable item for every household as Lanruo said, I'm sure my brother's treasury will be more abundant."

Zhuifeng moved his mouth but said nothing.

At this price, how can everyone afford it?

I'm afraid Ning Ruolan's soap can only make money from rich people.

All we can say is that this woman grasped the prince's mind, which was to help the emperor solve the financial crisis.

So, it's always a sure thing, right?

"But Your Majesty, the Peony Festival is coming soon. Do you want to go and relax?"
