Chapter 16 Just Borrow Her
Danyan and Cuifu were both angry and anxious, their eyes red.
"Miss, my uncle is going too far!"
"He is so cruel and heartless, not even a human being!"
Lu Zhiran took a deep breath and said, "Just wait a little longer. I'll be able to leave here soon."
He returned to his desk, ready to continue with his accounting, when out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the letter that he hadn't had time to open.
She picked it up and opened it.
On the plain white letter paper was a line of large, flamboyantly written characters.
"Although the imperial edict has arrived late, Miss Lu, please wait for good news."
Lu Zhiran's heart skipped a beat.
What does this mean? Is it true or false?
"Did anyone come here just now?"
Several people shook their heads, "Only the son-in-law has been here."
Not him.
The letter was there before he came.
Moreover, he could not possibly know that I had entered the palace to ask for the imperial decree of divorce.
Could it be that the emperor has made new arrangements?
The emperor is a man of few words. Since he has promised to issue an imperial decree of divorce to me, I will definitely not go back on my word and will wait patiently for a few days.
Soon, she received another good news.
"Miss, Manager Tan has good news. There has been a major breakthrough in the tea shop. As long as Miss gives the order, the net will be closed immediately. The other shops are also progressing smoothly."
Lu Zhiran was very surprised, "It went so smoothly?"
I thought it couldn't be solved in a short time, but I didn't expect to make progress so quickly.
"Manager Tan also felt that things were going too smoothly, as if someone was secretly pushing it, but he couldn't find out who it was. However, the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intent."
Lu Zhiran frowned slightly. This had never happened in her previous life, and for a moment she couldn't think of who was helping her secretly.
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Tell Uncle Tan to hold off on the tea shop for now, while the other shops continue their advance. Don't alert the enemy. As for the person behind this, if he truly has no ill intentions, then there's no need to intervene. If he makes any other moves, let him act accordingly."
Her rebirth changed many things, but she is not afraid of change. When things change, it means there is a turning point.
Shi Qizhou's side was also progressing smoothly.
The temperature was still very high at this time, and the prices of cotton and charcoal plummeted, resulting in unsold goods in many places. Shi Qizhou successfully purchased a large amount of low-priced goods.
However, the task assigned by Lu Zhiran was far from completed, and he was still working tirelessly to arrange purchases.
This big move attracted the attention of the business community and became a laughing stock for a while, with everyone waiting to see the joke.
Xiao Yanci and He Yun, master and servant, were drinking tea in a teahouse when a group of people downstairs were discussing the matter, waiting for that stupid and rich idiot to throw the goods into their hands, and even started a gambling game.
Little did they know that the seventh prince of the dynasty had also gotten involved in this mess and became what they called a fool with lots of money.
He Yun was really afraid that his prince would have a bad temper and rush down to overturn those people's tables - after all, he had done this before.
Xiao Yanci was half leaning against the chair, his long legs draped unrestrainedly on the table. He was holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, cracking them intermittently, turning a deaf ear to the loud talk below.
"Has the letter been delivered?"
He Yun said seriously, "I have delivered it to the door. Miss Lu will definitely see it."
Xiao Yanci said "hmm".
"How's the progress on Tan Xuwen's end?"
"The clues leading back to Xiangming Tea House have already been released. Tan Xuwen is a smart man and quickly found the evidence, but he's keeping it secret for now. Our people are also gradually releasing clues about the other shops. Tan Xuwen will have everything sorted out in a few days."
Xiao Yanci calculated the time and figured that by the day the decree was announced, Tan Xuwen would have been almost done with it.
He Yun scratched his head. "Your Highness, let's put things in perspective. You can help, but there's no need to mess around with Miss Lu. Why don't we sell those things now?"
He spat a mouthful of melon seed shells at He Yun, "What are you selling? I'm still waiting to make a fortune."
He Yun didn't give him any face at all, "Just give up, Master Wuchen said that you will never have good fortune in this life."
"He's just an old bald donkey who's a swindler. Can you trust what he says?"
He Yun began to count on his fingers. "When you were one month old, the emperor ordered someone to make a longevity lock to hang around your neck. Unexpectedly, a servant was so daring that she swapped it out for something worthless. After this incident, the longevity lock was never found again."
"When you were three months old, the Emperor gave you a pendant as a reward. But when he took you out for a walk, the pendant was lost. The Emperor ordered his men to dig three feet underground but couldn't find it."
"When you were six months old, you saw the beautiful jade pendant on the emperor's waist and tore it off to play with it. But while you were playing with it, you lost it again..."
"After that, if you had more than ten taels of silver on you, it would disappear within an hour. From then on, the emperor never gave you any good things as a reward, because even if he did, you wouldn't be able to keep them, and they would just go to someone else."
It was precisely because of his strange fate that Emperor Defeng felt more pity for his son.
If you can't reward with objects, you can only give more care. After a while, the relationship between father and son will gradually become closer, which can be considered a give-and-take.
Xiao Yanci was furious and said, "Shut up! You're the only one with a good memory? You're showing off!"
He Yun looked innocent, "I'm just telling the truth. Master Wuchen is a highly accomplished monk. He's never wrong in his predictions. You're destined to lose money in this life."
Xiao Yanci glared at him with murderous intent, "Are you his or mine? You're such a traitor."
He Yun spread his hands. "Even though I'm your man, I can't lie to you with my eyes open. Think about it yourself. Which of the businesses you've done over the years didn't lose money? So stop messing around."
His prince was born with a rebellious nature. He knew that he was destined to lose money, but he refused to believe in evil and loved to learn how to do business from others.
Originally a good business with no loss, as soon as his prince invested money in it, he would lose everything. Even so, he still enjoyed it. He was really a novice but loved to play.
Xiao Yanci was annoyed by his nagging and said impatiently, "It's better to spend the money than to lose it inexplicably. Just shut up."
He Yun: "...That's true."
"This time, I'm sure I can make a lot of money."
He Yun: "You say this every time, but the losses are getting worse each time."
Xiao Yanci felt that this boy's mouth was particularly redundant and wanted to sew it up.
His eyes were cold and he asked, "If I make money this time, what will you say?"
He Yun didn't hesitate, "Then I'll tear my head off and let you kick it like a ball."
Xiao Yanci sneered, "Okay, remember your words, if you don't twist it when the time comes, I will do it myself."
He Yun felt that this threat had no deterrent effect because his prince would never be able to earn money in his lifetime.
