Seeing the other person's eyes darting around, Luo Jiaojiao knew what the other person was thinking, so she took out a five-tael silver note from her pocket and handed it over.
"As you know, Luo Yunhe is now in such a high position, and his wine is selling so well that it has caused our other time-honored restaurants to suffer such a dismal business. This has already aroused our dissatisfaction."
Now that you're the person in Moonlit Village who knows him best, take these five taels of silver. If you can find a way to bring him down, or at least ruin his reputation, then we'll definitely give you more benefits in the future!
When Su Chenshi saw the other party give him money, he felt inexplicably excited, but when he saw that there were only five taels of silver, his expression became very stiff.
He wasn't stupid or foolish. The other party was just using him as a pawn, giving him five taels of silver, and expecting him to do this and that for them. They were dreaming.
"I say, madam, you're dressed like a human being, all in fine silks and satins, and you even have a little maidservant with you. You're just trying to get rid of me with five taels of silver and some spices?"
He's a royal merchant who sells tribute wine. Offending the royal family is a matter of life and death. If the investigation leads to me, wouldn't I be doing all the work for nothing and creating a huge problem for you?
I'm not that stupid!
Luo Jiaojiao was surprised that the old woman was so quick-witted. Looking at the vast amount of silver in her hand, she suppressed her anger and took out another 100 taels of silver notes from her bosom.
"You seem like a smart person. Five taels of silver is indeed not enough to match your contribution. Here is 100 taels of silver."
"This is all the money I'm paying you before the work even starts. After it's done, I'll give you another thousand taels of silver. What do you say?"
Upon hearing that it would cost one hundred taels, Su Chenshi felt a surge of joy, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he reluctantly accepted the offer. After thinking for a moment, he snatched back the remaining five taels of silver from his hand.
"Since you're so generous, Madam, then our transaction is complete. I won't stand on ceremony!" Madam Su shamelessly stuffed the money into her bosom.
His actions left Luo Jiaojiao speechless.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Find a way to sabotage her, or ruin her reputation... In short, make her keep running the distillery with a headache..."
"Alright, it's settled then. You can't go back on your word. If I do it, you have to give me the two catties a day. If you don't, I'll spread the word!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
"Where do you live? If you don't tell me, how am I supposed to get the money?"
"The Li family in the county town! You'll find out when you ask around!"
Luo Jiaojiao. After saying this, she quickly left with her maid, ignoring Su Chenshi's questions.
After watching her leave, Su Chenshi was speechless. However, thinking about the 105 taels of silver he had obtained, he was overjoyed. At the same time, he was also thinking about how to ruin Luo Yunhe's reputation and get the 1000 taels of silver as soon as possible.
“Miss, do you really remember that woman? Look at her shifty eyes, she doesn’t look like a good person at all, she has the face of a greedy scoundrel…” Xiaolian said angrily.
"Xiao Lian, people like him are only greedy for money. As long as we give him enough benefits, he will listen to us."
Besides, didn't you hear what he said? He suffered a lot of injustices at Luo Yunhe's hands, and he must hate him to death. Only someone like that can be used by us!
"What if she doesn't do it well?"
"She didn't do well... Heh, I'll get rid of her using my own methods!"
late at night.
Luo Yunhe was fast asleep when a dream suddenly struck her.
The woman in the dream was herself, yet not herself.
The dream was incredibly dangerous, and left me feeling utterly devastated...
Her father is gone, her fiancé is having an affair with her sister, she is framed and loses control of the family, and is eventually drugged and rendered unconscious...
When I regained consciousness, I was already inside a carriage cage.
There were several girls about his age in the cage, and they were all terrified as they huddled together inside.
She was scared in her dream, but she still managed to use her brain and escape successfully right under the other person's nose.
However, he didn't get far. Instead, the other party spotted him and kept chasing him. Finally, he accidentally fell off a cliff.
The cliff wasn't very high, and after falling, his head hit a rock, and he lost consciousness...
Luo Yunhe also woke up at this moment.
She sat on the bed, panting heavily; the scene in her dream felt so real.
The reality was so real that she couldn't help but feel afraid.
After catching his breath and calming himself down, he finally reached out and touched the back of his head.
In my dream, I was hit there and a lot of blood flowed out.
Although his mind has recovered, some scars remain where his fingers touched.
That dream might be real...
But why is it that he can't see the shadows of some people in his dreams clearly and distinctly?
Moreover, I have been here for two years and have never had such a dream in those two years. But I had such a dream unexpectedly tonight. Could this be some kind of omen?
Luo Yunhe didn't understand, and couldn't figure it out. In the end, she slowly lay down again.
He didn't want to bother thinking about things he couldn't figure out, so he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
This time, she slept until the sun was high in the sky.
When he regained consciousness, he did not sit up immediately; instead, his eyes were deep and dark.
Moreover, his expression was very strange.
He got up, put on his clothes, and after a quick wash, he went outside and was greeted by the warm sunlight.
He closed his eyes and slowly felt the sunlight shining on him.
The warm, cozy feeling is wonderful.
When Luo Yunhe opened her eyes again, there was a calculating look in them.
Her dream last night wasn't just a figment of her imagination.
Those were the original owner's memories before he became mentally impaired.
Through last night's dream and the subsequent dream on the street, he learned the original owner's true identity.
I also understand why I had that dream last night, which awakened the original owner's memories.
Luo Jiaojiao...hehe!
The original owner, Luo Yunhe, was the eldest daughter of the Luo family. She was exceptionally intelligent from a young age and was also the only successor of the Luo family.
It was all because Miss Luo had taken a liking to a scholar.
That scholar had such a handsome face, but he just couldn't stand Luo Yunhe, who was obsessed with him, and instead flirted with Luo Jiaojiao, the second young lady of the Luo family.
The original owner's father lost his life on the way to a business meeting. She also discovered her fiancé's affair with her sister at her father's funeral.
