Where did Chapter 498 go?
Not to mention that the man was her brother-in-law and so they had important matters to discuss. Why should they talk about it secretly outside? Moreover, Concubine Liu was a woman. How could she go to Xiao Muheng privately without going through His Highness and the Prime Minister?
So there is no doubt that Concubine Liu is having an affair!!!
He seems to know some huge secret. Will he be silenced by his master?
The guard looked towards Chu Chengli in horror. With just one glance, his legs began to tremble with fear at the sharp aura coming from him. The sinister look in his eyes was like a gloomy dark cloud, growing thicker and thicker.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Chengli suddenly stood up and walked outside.
The guard was shocked, thinking that his master was going to catch him in adultery.
This won't do. It's already embarrassing enough that Concubine Liu cheated on His Highness. If he catches them in adultery now, everyone in the teahouse will know about it. How will His Highness save face?
If he ascends the throne to become emperor in the future, this shame cannot be erased from him. When future generations talk about him, the first thing they think of is not his wisdom and courage and political achievements, but this kind of scandal, and his wisdom and courage will be ruined.
The guards hurriedly chased after him, trying to stop Chu Chengli, but they saw him walking straight downstairs with no intention of catching the adulterer. The guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this.
Fortunately, although the master was extremely angry, he still had some sense and knew that this matter could not be exposed to the sun, so no irreversible consequences were caused.
At the same time, the Lu family.
After returning from the Qiao Mansion, Qiao Jingru went straight to Qixiayuan.
"How is your aunt today?" Lu Xiang asked.
Qiao Jingru smiled and said, "My mother has figured it out, and has been busy packing gifts for Fourth Brother all day."
"That's good."
"The maid in the front yard said you were looking for me?" Qiao Jingru asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Yes." Lu Xiang nodded. "During this period of time, let Brother Qiao do his best to suppress the Xiao family's shop. As long as the goods are the same, the price will be 30% lower. All losses caused during this period will be borne by me."
Qiao Jingru was shocked: "Ah? Doing this is equivalent to hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by eight hundred."
Lu Xiang Waner smiled and said, "If it was the Xiao Mansion in the past, we would have been seriously injured if we did this. But now Xiao Muheng has been ruthlessly skinned by the Emperor. The Xiao Family is already in turmoil. It's just the last week left. According to my guess, the Xiao Family will fail in less than three months. By then, we don't have to worry about the other businesses of the Xiao Family. Let Brother Qiao take over their pawnshop and bank, and all the losses will be recovered."
"Pawnshops and money houses? That's possible." Qiao Jingru's eyes lit up slightly and she said excitedly.
If the Xiao family's two most profitable industries could be brought into naan, their wealth would double.
"Okay, I'll tell my brother tomorrow and ask him to be prepared at any time." Qiao Jingru said.
Lu Xiang suddenly picked up a stack of papers on the table and handed them to Qiao Jingru, saying, "These are some strategies and key points for dealing with the Xiao family. Please help me give them to Brother Qiao. If there are any questions, I will explain them to him in detail. Thank you for your hard work."
In her previous life, she could manage the Xiao family's business legitimately under the title of Mrs. Xiao, but she could not show up in public for many things, so she was the one who came up with the ideas and Xiao Muheng took charge.
In this life, Lu Chao has no business acumen, and she is not married yet, so she cannot do everything by herself, so Qiao Zhiyan is the most suitable candidate for cooperation.
Qiao Jingru didn't act pretentiously. She took the paper on the table and carefully put it away. "What's the hard work? Xiangxiang, you are being too polite. If it weren't for you giving me advice from time to time, my brother wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in the capital in such a short time."
No matter how capable the eldest brother is, if he doesn't have connections and power to rely on, he will definitely have a hard time in this wealthy capital. In the final analysis, it is their Qiao family that has taken great advantage of Xiangxiang.
The silver mine alone was almost a free advantage.
Not to mention the hard work, it would not be too much to even ask my elder brother to work like a slave.
"But Xiangxiang, can I ask how can you be sure that the Xiao family will go bankrupt within three months?" Qiao Jingru paused and then asked.
Lu Xiang pondered for a moment and looked up at Qiao Jingru.
A pair of beautiful eyes are like the ripples on a lake in April, revealing brilliant confidence and shining like stars.
"As long as the Second Prince sees Liu Anhui secretly meeting Xiao Muheng tonight, no matter what the two of them are doing, he will be cuckolded. Even if he needs Prime Minister Liu again, he must not expose this matter and pretend that nothing happened. Liu Anhui was originally an important link used by Prime Minister Liu to bind the Liu family and the Second Prince. Now that this chess piece is useless, Xiao Muheng will definitely be held responsible. With the Second Prince's anger above and Prime Minister Liu's hatred below, Xiao Muheng will not be let off easily..."
She was looking forward to the two men killing Xiao Muheng.
Qiao Jingru thought for a moment and said, "Did you deliberately reveal Liu Anhui's whereabouts to the Second Prince?"
Lu Xiang nodded: "I gave him a note. Whether he believes it or not is up to him." Then she repeated the contents to Qiao Jingru.
When Qiao Jingru heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
No man would take such a straightforward statement lightly.
"So, the Second Prince went to catch an adulterer tonight? I'm afraid this news will be spread everywhere by tomorrow morning."
Lu Xiang shook his head: "It's true that he caught them cheating, but he won't be so impulsive as to expose the two of them. If the news spreads widely, not only will he be embarrassed, but the royal family will also lose face."
Qiao Jingru nodded blankly: "Did you ask Ah Man to monitor him?"
That's why I know it so clearly.
Lu Xiang chuckled: "It's just a normal guess."
A person's temperament determines the way he behaves.
As Chu Jinyan's biggest enemy on the road to power, how could Lu Xiang not take the trouble to study Chu Chengli.
She also analyzed Liu Xiang carefully.
Qiao Jingru stared at Lu Xiang blankly, feeling incomprehensible!
The rain in the middle of the night came suddenly and violently, pouring down, and instantly gathered into thousands of small streams on the ground.
Liu Anhui returned to the house in a mess. Her body was soaked and the wind was blowing, making her feel bone-chilled.
"Master, wipe it quickly." In order to protect Liu Anhui from getting wet in the rain, Zhong Xiang was already completely wet. As soon as she entered the house, she handed a clean towel to Liu Anhui.
While wiping her wet hair, Liu Anhui said, "Go back and change your clothes quickly, and ask others to come in and serve you."
"Yes, I will ask someone to prepare ginger soup first, and the master can drink it to get rid of the cold." Zhong Xiang said.
Liu Anhui nodded.
Zhongxiang turned and left, and Liu Anhui walked towards the inner room.
Just as he walked around the screen, he suddenly heard Chu Chengli's cold voice: "Where have you been so late?"
Liu Anhui was startled and looked at the man sitting at the table in astonishment: "Your Highness..."
