Chapter 164: What a Show of Power (Part 2)
Qian Wei's face flushed with anger. "Princess Jinyun, don't you think you're too greedy?"
Yun Zheng said calmly, "Merchants are inherently greedy. I'll always try to gain some benefits for myself."
She spoke with confidence and without any shame.
"You, the Qian family, are really too stingy and don't do things properly. You want the princess to work for you for nothing? Where do you get the nerve to do that?"
"If you don't have the social skills, you won't get far."
Qian Wei was stunned. She actually blamed them? Shameless!
"The craftsman gave it to you."
"How much is that worth?"
Jiang Shurong had come to her senses and said, "No, Hongyun Building is our Qian family's property and cannot be given to others."
She was very angry that such an important matter was kept from her, but Hongyun Building was making a fortune every day.
Madam Qian took a deep breath and said, "That's enough. Give it to her."
Since she had given the order, Qian Wei had no choice but to obey and reluctantly took out the house deed and land deed of Hongyun Building.
My heart is bleeding and my hands are shaking.
Hongyun Building is very important to him.
Yun Zheng received the title deed and land deeds, beaming with joy. "Old Madam Qian is truly magnanimous. Experience is always a virtue. Let's all learn from her."
Yun Zheng severely skinned the Qian family, and the Qian family was seriously injured, but they couldn't complain.
Madam Qian asked, "What about my Hui'er?"
Yun Zheng patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, Miss Qian's affairs are under my care."
"The palace will come to pick you up tomorrow night at the latest."
Old Madam Qian looked at her deeply. Could she really influence the emperor's decision?
If it's true, then I must have a good relationship with her.
"Then I'll leave everything to you."
Yun Zheng said with a smile, "If it succeeds, the Qian family will owe me a big favor."
Qian Wei was so angry that her face turned red and her neck was thick. She was asked to do both good and bad things, and she still asked for favors. How hateful.
"Someone, go call the eldest lady and ask her to escort Princess Jinyun out of the mansion."
"yes."
Qian Hui came hurriedly, smiling, "Princess, please."
The Qian family watched Yun Zheng leave and all breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of the evil star.
Jiang Shurong couldn't help but spit out a spit, "She's just a dog relying on the power of others. Ugh, who the hell is she?"
Qian Wei's face turned ugly. "Mom, are you just going to endure this?"
Madam Qian said calmly, "Winning or losing temporarily is not important. What matters is who has the last laugh."
"If she can really resolve this matter perfectly and send Hui'er to the palace, then what does it matter if we hold her in high esteem? Only by enduring the humiliation for a while can we go further."
Qian Wei responded respectfully, "Yes."
It doesn't matter, those things will return to him one day.
But Jiang Shurong's eyes were rolling around, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Qian Hui seemed to like Yun Zheng very much, calling her Princess sweetly all the time.
"Princess, I admire you for your ability. You can earn money, earn yourself a title of princess, and bring honor to your parents. You are truly remarkable."
Yun Zheng smiled slightly, "You never leave the house, but you know a lot about my affairs."
Qian Hui's eyes sparkled. "The servants in the house always have to go out. The things you did have long been spread among the servants. I have heard about them for a long time and have been fascinated by them for a long time."
She is innocent and naive, with red lips, white teeth and a sweet smile, which makes people feel good about her.
Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows. "I heard that Miss Qian was brought to the old lady's care as soon as she was born? She's rarely seen her mother."
Qian Hui was startled, "Yes."
Yun Zheng suddenly asked, "If your biological father killed your biological mother, would you choose to speak up for her?"
Speak out, not retaliate.
Qian Hui's smile froze. "Our Qian family has been deeply blessed by the Emperor and knows propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame. My father would never do anything worse than an animal."
She used the royal family to vouch for her father's character.
Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh. She'd said, how could the Qian family raise such a naive little girl? In palace battles, naive people die first.
"Your grandmother has secretly trained you for over a decade, just to send you to serve the Emperor. Are you willing?"
Qian Hui frowned and shouted softly, "Princess Jinyun, how dare you make malicious assumptions about our Qian family?"
She kept calling the Qian family, obviously considering the Qian family as her mission.
Yun Zheng calmly tested him, "I'm here to see you on the orders of the Emperor. I just want to ask you one question: are you willing to enter the palace?"
"If you don't want to, I will help you refuse and won't offend the palace."
Qian Hui's expression changed slightly, "I will follow the arrangements of my elders."
Yun Zheng chuckled, "Oh, I understand. I will arrange for you to marry that Young Master Sun as soon as possible to fulfill your mother's last wish."
Qian Hui couldn't help but get anxious, "May I ask Princess Jinyun, in what capacity do you interfere in my marriage?"
Yun Zheng sighed silently, but didn't show it on her face. "As the Emperor's special envoy."
Qian Hui grew up with Old Madam Qian, so she naturally learned her methods, although they were a little immature.
She was stunned, "Your Majesty...what did you say?"
Yun Zheng said nonsense seriously, "Let me handle it with full authority and calm the public opinion as soon as possible."
Yes, that's it.
Qian Hui seemed a little unconvinced, "You are a woman, how could the emperor entrust you with such an important task?"
Yun Zheng pointed at herself, her expression bright and assertive. "I'm smart, I'm capable, and I'm stronger than men. It's that simple."
Qian Hui was silent for a long time, then suddenly said something shocking, "Since the princess is so intelligent, why don't you form an alliance with me?"
At this moment, she no longer had that innocent look on her face, and her expression was serious.
This is actually much more pleasing to the eye. Yun Zheng appreciates ambitious people, as long as they don't harm others.
"How do you say that?"
Qian Hui's eyes sparkled, "I am in the harem, you are in the front court, we rely on each other, support each other, and fight our way out."
It sounded good, but Yun Zheng asked bluntly, "The premise of an alliance is that each party has chips that benefit the other, and the chips are equal. So what do you have?"
Qian Hui's eyes flickered slightly, and her pretty face blushed, "Pillow talk."
"Puchi." Yun Zheng laughed.
Qian Hui was embarrassed and annoyed, "What are you laughing at?"
Yun Zheng found out Qian Hui's true character. She was smart, resourceful, and good at disguising herself, but she was short-sighted, didn't see things comprehensively enough, and had an overly high opinion of herself.
Yes, it is normal to have a narrow vision when you never go out and are trapped in a deep courtyard.
"There is no shortage of beauties in the palace, but what is lacking is women who are beautiful, intelligent, and resourceful."
"Moreover, you are destined to be targeted by all the concubines, including the harem mistress, as soon as you enter the palace."
"We don't have equal leverage, but..."
Qian Hui really wanted to win over this helper. Yun Zheng had the Emperor and the Ninth Prince behind her. With such help, she could walk all over the palace.
"What?"
Yun Zheng said with a smile, "If you accept me as your master, I might consider supporting you."
Qian Hui felt a strong sense of humiliation, her face darkened, "How outrageous."
After all, he is young and hot-tempered and cannot keep his composure.
Yun Zheng smiled meaningfully and said, "You are a member of the Qian family after all."
Then she has nothing to worry about and will let the Qian family become her stepping stone to climb up!
As soon as she left Qian's house, she ordered, "Go to Tongfu Inn."
The plan has officially started!
