At the same time, Ji Yunxi specifically asked the people at Dongyun Cloth Shop, "I've heard recently that there are always a few people at Dongyun Cloth Shop who spend their family's living expenses to buy clothes. Is that true?"
Qinglian and Yuyue exchanged a glance and bowed, "Yes, Third Miss. There are indeed a few of them."
Ji Yunxi nodded and asked casually, "Then do you have any ideas?"
There was silence for a while at the table, and then everyone started discussing the matter one after another.
But we couldn't come to a conclusion no matter how hard we discussed it.
First, how do we determine if this person has the necessary wealth? If they offer the money and Dongyun refuses to sell, will that anger them and cause trouble? And so on.
Finally, Ji Yunxi spoke.
She gently put down the teacup in her hand and, referencing the sales methods of modern luxury goods, said, "How about this: from now on, Dongyun Cloth Shop will only serve customers from Nanyun Cloth Shop. Also, let it be known that every season, Ji Family Cloth Shop will donate a portion of its money to disaster victims across the country."
Of course, the final approach will arouse the emperor's fear.
But anyway, the emperor has long been wary of her Ji family, so what does it matter if it's a little more or a little less?
On the contrary, the more fearful His Majesty is, the more cautious he should be in taking action, and the less likely he should act rashly.
Right now, what they lack most is time.
The more cautious Your Majesty is, the better.
The people at the table didn't think as far ahead as Ji Yunxi did. They were more focused on the business of the cloth shop.
Nanyun Cloth Shop usually sells cloth in batches of fifty or a hundred pieces, and its target customers are wealthy families with many servants, as well as escort agencies, martial arts sects, and the like.
Anyone who can afford to spend this amount of money at Nanyun Cloth Shop must be wealthy.
Moreover, this will also improve the business of Nanyun Cloth Shop!
Kill two birds with one stone.
Qinglian and Yuyue were the first to react. They bowed deeply to the woman in the main seat, and were filled with admiration.
Qinglian finally understood why the young master chose the third girl.
If possible, she also wants to choose the third girl.

It was late September and the nights were cool.
The ice in the house had long been removed, but it was not yet time to burn charcoal.
Wu Weian has always been afraid of the cold, so he held Ji Yunxi in his arms to keep her warm. Both of them were dressed neatly and had fallen into a deep sleep.
But in the boudoir of the Xing family girl, the scene was quite different.
After that, the fifth prince stood up from the couch, picked up his clothes from the ground, put them on, and sat on the edge of the bed, gently touching Xing Shuyue's face with a sinister look on his face.
The matter of the cloth shop has basically been settled. Although the family of the noodle shop wakes up from the night fragrance every day, they have always been protected from any leaks.
The fifth prince lost a lot of men.
If we continue to suffer such losses, it will not be worth it.
The fifth prince could only end the matter with hatred.
The Ji family's cloth shop reopened, and business was even more prosperous than before.
How could the Fifth Prince not be angry?
Xing Shuyue, with a rosy face, grabbed the quilt, climbed up from the bed, bent down and probed on the ground, grabbed a piece of paper and handed it to the fifth prince.
The fifth prince took a deep breath, hid the sinister look in his eyes, and took it.
The date was written on it, and many days were circled densely.
Fifth Prince: "What is this?"
Xing Shuyue said softly, "Your Highness didn't even have time to let me speak just now. Do you remember five years ago when we sent spies to the Ji family?"
The Fifth Prince nodded: "Ji Yunxi is extremely cautious, so haven't all her spies been killed?"
Xing Shuyue shook her head: "There is still one left. I never contacted her in the past five years, so she was able to stay."
The Fifth Prince: "Oh?"
Xing Shuyue slowly explained, "That person was cleaning Ji Yunxi's yard at first, but after Ji Yunxi got married, she didn't bring her to the Wu family. Instead, she stayed at the Ji family. But she's a smart person. Although she hasn't received any orders from me in the past five years, she has been observing Ji Yunxi's every move. She cleans at the back door of the Ji family every morning and night, from where she can see the main gate of the Wu family. In the past few months, she noticed that there were always some days every month when Wu Weian didn't return to the Wu family."
The fifth prince picked up the paper again.
There are some days densely circled on it, which looks messy, but you will find that——
Wu Weian is not here on the tenth day of every month!
Why does this day seem so chaotic? Because Wu Wei'an is covering it up.
Ji Yunxi definitely doesn’t know about this, and Wu Weian doesn’t want her to know!
The fifth prince sneered: "I said it before, the relationship between Wu Wei'an and Ji Yunxi is purely a union of interests, there is no love."
Xing Shuyue: "Your Highness, then we have to check what Wu Weian does on the tenth day of every month?"
"No." The Fifth Prince shook his head. "No, no, no. Wu Wei'an is cautious and has many martial arts masters around him. I haven't found out his background yet. If our people were to investigate him, it would be too easy to be exposed. The incident at Heichun Mountain is the best lesson!"
Xing Shuyue: “Then”
"Let Ji Yunxi investigate on her own." The Fifth Prince's eyes were extremely cold. He picked up the paper again. "These two are not kind people. Let them kill each other, and we will reap the benefits!"

Baofu felt that something was wrong with her brother-in-law a month ago.
She couldn't put it into words, but something just wasn't right.
But Baofu has never had a complicated heart, she is a very straightforward person.
Whatever she was thinking would show on her face, and she would say whatever she wanted to say.
When Baofu first felt something was wrong, he mentioned it to the young lady. The young lady didn't say anything, so Baofu thought that the young lady must have already dealt with it.
Anyway, in Baofu's eyes, the young lady can do anything.
But on this day, Baofu went to Ji's house to get something and happened to meet Jianhe who was cleaning the backyard of Ji's house.
Jianhe worked in the Ji family for five years. She worked diligently and never made any mistakes.
Moreover, Jianhe has always been enthusiastic and gets along well with the servants of the Ji family.
Jianhe is also a very outgoing person. When she saw Baofu, she immediately went up to him and started talking.
