She couldn't help but ask, "Are the Xia family that powerful?"
You should know that they were originally a spy organization, and everyone in it was a master. Even her maid was not an ordinary person.
The Xia family, however, were just small merchants. Apart from having many relatives and some officials, and thus some local reputation, nothing could compare to them. If the Xia family was responsible for both instances of tea being destroyed, then this family should not be allowed to continue.
A small-time merchant has the audacity to sabotage her business time and time again. Such a person deserves to die a horrible death!
She clenched her fists secretly, as if she had already figured out how to deal with the Xia family.
Qian Xing, unaware of the gravity of the situation, said, "The Xia family is a business, and they've used plenty of underhanded tactics. It wouldn't be unfair to say they did it. Besides, I just divorced that jealous woman, and I'm currently holding a grudge. It's not surprising that I would do something like this."
Guan Yulian, who was listening nearby, immediately lowered her head and said, "Master, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, my sister wouldn't be so angry..."
She spoke softly and weakly, her voice seemingly possessing a kind of magic that captivated Qian Xing.
He immediately pulled the person into his arms and said, "How can this be your fault? It's all that wicked woman's fault. I'll send someone to inquire. This matter can't be left like this. If it really was the Xia family who did it, they will definitely have to compensate you for your losses!"
Qian Xing has recently become a bit arrogant due to Guan Yulian's constant flattery. He has completely forgotten that he got to where he is today because of the Xia family's support. Now he looks down on the Xia family all the time, and his voice even carries a hint of sarcasm.
This was exactly the result Guan Yulian and her team wanted. Only by making Qian Xing completely obedient could some of their plans proceed smoothly.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir. I will be very grateful."
Xinran slightly bent her knees and even winked at Qian Xing. Qian Xing stared at her, thinking that Xinran was even prettier than Guan Yulian.
Unfortunately, Xinran is just an actress, ultimately not fit for the mainstream, so we can only appreciate her performance as it is.
Thinking this, he hugged Guan Yulian tighter in his arms.
Guan Yulian saw their interaction clearly, but she didn't care and even seemed quite interested.
She didn't care at all whether Qian Xing was a womanizer; she wished he would fall in love with every woman he met, as this would make it easier for them to achieve their goals and drive the situation forward.
At this time, Qingyin Garden was already packed with people, all of whom had come to buy tea. The tea was supposed to arrive today, and many people had been waiting since before dawn.
The main problem is that I haven't been able to drink Qingyin Garden tea for the past few days, which is really torturous. I feel like I'm going crazy. I've never felt that a type of tea is so important before, as if I would die if I didn't drink it.
They were full of anticipation, but in the morning they heard that the goods had been destroyed again. How could this be? How could such a coincidence happen?
So some people thought that Qingyin Garden must be lying. They must have the goods, but they just didn't want to sell them to them like before, because drinking in the theater is very expensive, and it's much cheaper to take them with you.
Now that more people want to drink it, these actors certainly won't be willing to sell the tea to them like this; they want to save it to sell at a higher price in the theater.
Now they're so desperate they're practically itching to go. They'd be willing to pay several times more, let alone go to the theater for drinks!
Then someone shouted, "We'll buy it at that price! Bring the goods out now!"
"More money? Yes, we'll add more money!"
...
Despite this, no one in the theater responded. This has already blown up. If the authorities notice, even if the previous incidents had nothing to do with them, they will definitely be targeted this time.
For a moment, both sides were very anxious.
Last night, when we delivered the stock to the Qian family, they brought over a box, intending to keep some for themselves to serve guests at the theater. Now the entire stock is gone, and there's only this one box left. They really don't dare to touch it! If it's sold out, there will be no more stock!
When Xinran returned, everyone gathered together to discuss it for a while before deciding to let the theater open for business. The tea would not be sold outside; it could only be drunk inside the building.
This way, they can keep these people at ease and temporarily avoid government inspection.
"There aren't many items, so try to pack as little as possible. I'll contact my superiors to send another batch of goods. We absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes this time."
Xinran couldn't help but remind her that she had made many mistakes recently, which had angered her superiors. If things continued like this, she might lose her position.
She was very angry. She had tried her best, and even managed to handle her personal feelings well for the sake of the organization. Why was she unable to succeed no matter what she did?
She feels she's been having a lot of bad luck lately and can't figure out why.
Lu Baichuan was very efficient. He asked Qian Xing for a deserted courtyard, and had it cleaned up and the patients moved there that same day.
During the transfer, some people couldn't stand it and tried to run away, but Lu Baichuan personally caught them and forced them to eat the medicine prepared by He Jiuniang, which made them much more obedient.
Finally, the day of Qian Xing and Guan Yulian's wedding arrived. He Jiuniang had prepared clothes for everyone in the family in advance. When everyone put them on, they were indeed tailor-made for them and fit perfectly. Even the styles were the kind of clothes they usually liked.
Old Man Lu and Madam Sun were dressed in a dignified and luxurious manner, like the elderly gentleman and lady from a wealthy family. Both of them were beaming with joy.
"Clothes really do make the man! This outfit suits me perfectly!"
Old Lu looked back and forth with a touch of narcissism, thinking that if he wore this outfit back, he would definitely be the most handsome old man in the surrounding area.
Sun ignored him and was admiring her own clothes. She had to admit that the third son's wife was quite talented at designing clothes; she had never thought she could look so good.
Gao had never worn makeup in her life. She used to work in the fields and couldn't afford rouge and face powder. Now that she had money, she felt that she was too old to do those things like young people. But today, He Jiu Niang personally made her put on makeup. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she could hardly recognize herself.
Old Lu admired himself for a while before going to look at Madam Sun. He noticed that Madam Sun was wearing makeup and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my! This old woman looks so different after dressing up! She looks twenty years younger! No, thirty years younger!"
During this period, Gao has been using the skincare products given to her by He Jiuniang. Her skin has become much whiter, and she no longer feels dry in autumn and winter. Her skin condition is indeed very good, and she looks much younger when she dresses up like this.
"Hahahaha, I never realized Dad had such a sweet tongue! Ms. Sun, did you hear that? You look thirty years younger! You'd better dress up more often!"
Sun was very happy, but she was too embarrassed to laugh. However, He Jiuniang next to her was laughing so excessively that she couldn't help but reach out and slap her.
