Chapter 302: Green Grass Above
If you tell so many lies, you will start to believe them yourself.
She immediately accused Taicang Trading Company of a crime, her tone firm, as if that was the truth.
Anyway, no matter how many mistakes there are, they are all other people's faults, and she is absolutely not at fault.
Chu Yian now had some reservations about what she said. He instinctively felt that Lu Zhiran was not that kind of person and would not let his people do such a risky thing.
But he didn't argue, only saying, "Don't try to divert attention. What happens to Taicang Commercial Bank has nothing to do with me, but your actions may implicate the Marquis' Mansion. If this matter is exposed, the Emperor will definitely punish you severely!"
Zhao Shuning asked, "I've already done it. What do you think? You are so upright and righteous, so go ahead and expose me. If you dare, I will respect you as a hero."
This one sentence completely blocked Chu Yian's thoughts, and his face turned red instantly.
He was extremely angry, yet helpless. The feeling of being suffocated and powerless almost made him explode.
Zhao Shuning said calmly, "Since you don't dare, just keep these things to yourself and pretend you know nothing. If this gets out, it won't benefit you or me in the slightest."
Chu Yian's breathing was rapid, and his eyes were glaring at the other person with fire.
After a while, he finally squeezed out some words from between his teeth.
"Zhao Shuning, I can forgive you for what you did in the past, but now, please take a good look at your own identity. I will never allow you to do anything to bring discredit to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion again!"
Zhao Shuning: "Everything I do is to bring honor to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion."
Chu Yian laughed angrily, "Listen to what I said for yourself, do you believe it? I heard everything you and Mr. Li planned just now!"
Zhao Shuning asked, "What's wrong with what we're planning? I'm just collaborating with him on business. We do business and make money based on our abilities. We deserve everyone's trust."
Now that the situation is stable, they are no longer trying to profit from the national crisis.
The Zhenxi Army already needs supplies, so who can give this deal to? Instead of giving it to someone else, why not give it to her? This way, the benefits won't flow to outsiders.
Gu Zhaolin will agree.
Chu Yian also thought of this, and the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.
"By your ability? What ability do you rely on? Is it your ability to seduce people?"
These words were full of humiliation, and Zhao Shuning's face immediately darkened.
"Watch your mouth!"
Chu Yian sneered, "You dare to do it, and you're afraid of what I say? You have an unclear relationship with Gu Zhaolin, do you really think I can't see it?"
Zhao Shuning said coldly, "He and I are innocent, and I can be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. Some people have dirty hearts and see everything as dirty."
Chu Yian didn't believe it at all. "If you were truly innocent, why would you go to him in the middle of the night and wait for several hours?"
Zhao Shuning suppressed his annoyance and said, "I was discussing serious matters with him."
"What's the matter?"
Zhao Shuning didn't want to say it. This matter was confidential. The more people knew about it, the greater the risk.
Zhao Shuning does not trust Chu Yian and will not unconditionally turn his back to him.
Unless Gu Zhaolin has already secured his position as the commander-in-chief of the Zhenxi Army, he will no longer be threatened.
"When the time is right, I will tell you."
To Chu Yian, her words sounded like an excuse and evasion.
"When? When there's green grass over my head?"
Zhao Shuning: "If you think so, I can't help it!"
These words made Chu Yian feel so upset that he almost vomited blood.
"Zhao Shuning, explain yourself clearly!"
No man can tolerate such humiliation.
Zhao Shuning was extremely annoyed.
Putting aside the fact that she and Gu Zhaolin had not transgressed the slightest, even if she had truly been unfaithful, so what? Why could a man take a concubine and enjoy the happiness of having two wives, while a woman had to remain chaste for him?
It's so unfair.
But she was too lazy to say such things anymore. Arguing with him was like playing the lute to a cow.
"I've made it very clear. We are innocent and have done nothing wrong to you."
Chu Yian pressed on, "Oh, then what bargaining chips and confidence do you have to take on what Mr. Li wants? Just based on your so-called merits?"
Chu Yian didn't believe it at all.
Others may not know, but he knows very well that Zhao Shuning's so-called contribution is totally undeserved. It is impossible for her to accomplish this task based on this.
The last time she had accomplished this, it was because Xiping City was short of supplies. Now Xiping City has everything. How could she have accomplished this? Why should Gu Zhaolin make an exception for her?
Chu Yian couldn't think of any other reason except that the two of them had an affair.
This made him feel frustrated and angry.
Zhao Shuning said coldly, "What you can't do, I may be able to do. Don't measure me by your level, and don't use such dirty thoughts to speculate about me. Not everyone is as fickle as you."
It's ridiculous that you think everyone else is incompetent just because you are a coward.
"you……"
Zhao Shuning could not come up with any convincing explanation except for sophistry, which made him more certain of his guess and his expression became even uglier.
Zhao Shuning was firm and refused to back down.
"Regarding this matter, no matter what you think, I will do it. If you really care about the Marquis' Mansion, don't make a fuss here. Making things worse will not benefit anyone."
Chu Yian wanted to say something else, but Zhao Shuning didn't give him a chance.
"The Xuanping Marquisate is just an empty shell. Without money to bribe it, it will never be able to move forward. No matter how noble you are, you must admit this fact. Everything I do is for the future of the Xuanping Marquisate. If you continue to fight with me, it will not benefit anyone. Think about it carefully."
After saying that, Zhao Shuning ignored him.
Chu Yian stood where he was. Perhaps because he was too angry just now, the wounds on his body split open and his face was distorted with pain.
He stared at Zhao Shuning's back, wanting to say something or do something, but found that he could do nothing.
He can't control this woman.
It is also impossible for him to deliberately ruin this matter just to bring bad luck to her.
What she said just now was correct. The Xuanping Marquis Mansion was indeed an empty shell and they needed money.
Zhao Shuning's method can indeed get money.
She must hand over the money she earns to the Marquis' Mansion, otherwise, I will not forgive her!
Thinking of this, Chu Yian finally felt a little relieved.
He flicked his sleeves and left. Zhao Shuning sneered and ignored him.
The husband and wife each have their own thoughts and are wary of each other.
Zhao Shuning made up his mind and quickly took action.
The next day, she found Gu Zhaolin and mentioned the matter.
She had a silver tongue and could see through people's hearts. The timing was just right, so Gu Zhaolin agreed easily.
Zhao Shuning gave him a grateful smile.
"Thank you, General."
Gu Zhaolin's face was full of tenderness. "Between you and me, there's no need to thank me. From now on, if you have anything, you can come to me. As long as you ask, I will do my best."
Zhao Shuning's eyes were suddenly filled with emotion.
