Chapter 365: The Details of Hengrui Commercial Bank
In the following days, Xiao Yanci almost stayed in the inner courtyard and did not go anywhere.
During the first half month after their marriage, he was very restrained.
To this day, his true nature has slowly been revealed.
In some ways, men are like wolves that can never be satisfied. Lu Zhiran was so annoyed that she almost kicked him off the bed.
Seeing that Lu Zhiran was indeed angry, he stopped bothering her and just held her in his arms and slept quietly.
The two of them were so close to each other that it was the fifth day of the New Year in a blink of an eye.
The marks on Lu Zhiran's ears left by Xiao Yanci finally faded.
During the New Year, every household holds a banquet.
After the couple had finished their meal, the servants brought them a lot of invitations to banquets from various households.
Xiao Yanci said directly: "Just turn down the unimportant ones. Why bother with that?"
Lu Zhiran didn't want to bother with socializing, so she sent someone to reject them.
At this time, a message came from outside. After reading the letter, Lu Zhiran's face was slightly solemn.
Seeing this, Xiao Yanci asked, "What happened?"
Lu Zhiran handed the letter to him. After reading it, Xiao Yanci's face turned cold.
"My good brother is really a thief with unyielding intentions."
Xiao Yanqing set his sights on Hengrui Trading Company and tried to bribe them by promising them the benefits of becoming a royal merchant.
Xiao Yanci still had an impression of Hengrui Trading Company. The cannons and potatoes were all produced by Hengrui Trading Company.
Hengrui Commercial Bank has made a fortune by going overseas, and has become a piece of fat meat that is very tempting.
Xiao Yanqing is about to go to his fiefdom, but he still does not give up and tries to take over Hengrui Commercial Bank for his own use as a bargaining chip for future turnaround.
The road to succession is paved with blood and cannot be separated from the support of money.
If Hengrui Commercial Bank is used by him and provides him with a steady stream of financial resources, it will indeed give him a much better chance of success.
"Do you know the details of the owner of this trading company?"
Xiao Yanqing wanted to find a cash cow for himself, but he disagreed.
Based on the two previous dealings, Xiao Yanci felt that if he stepped in to intercept, Hengrui Trading Company would be willing to surrender.
Lu Zhiran smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I actually know him. He's an old acquaintance of ours."
Xiao Yanci immediately became interested.
"Who is it?"
When Lu Zhiran said Xiao Yanheng's name, Xiao Yanci was stunned for a moment.
He even suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Who were you talking about? Fifth Brother?"
Lu Zhiran nodded. "Shuanghua discovered this. She followed the manager of Hengrui Commercial Bank into Prince An's Mansion. I then verified it and basically confirmed that it was true."
Xiao Yanci was completely unaware of this, which showed that Shuanghua had not told him about it.
Shuanghua originally belonged to Xiao Yanci, but now, she has regarded herself as the real master.
This made Lu Zhiran feel a little more satisfied.
Before they had time to digest the news, someone came in to report that Prince An's Mansion had sent an invitation, inviting them to a small gathering.
The two looked at each other.
What a coincidence?
They had a hunch that Prince An had sent the invitation probably because of the imperial merchant matter.
The two of them immediately got up, packed up, and headed towards Prince An's Mansion.
At this time, Prince An's Mansion was also bustling with joy, and the servants in the mansion were all in high spirits.
Xiao Yanheng was wearing a snow-white fox fur coat, which made his face look even more handsome, like a banished immortal from heaven.
He covered his lips and coughed a few times, a sick look on his face.
Xiao Yanci showed concern, "Fifth Brother is sick?"
Xiao Yanheng nodded. "I wanted to come to your house, but unfortunately, my health is not good and I can't see the wind. I have no choice but to trouble my seventh brother and his wife to go. To be honest, I have something important to discuss with you."
Xiao Yanheng spoke directly to the point, and Xiao Yanci became more certain of his guess.
The two brothers went to the study, while Lu Zhiran sat with Xing Chuxue and chatted.
The two went from being good friends to sisters-in-law, and their relationship became even closer.
Xing Chuxue told Lu Zhiran something.
"Princess Wu has come several times in the past few days. She heard that Albert is a skilled doctor, so she asked him to prescribe some medicine to treat her condition."
Lu Zhiran understood, "Is it about the pregnancy?"
Xing Chuxue nodded.
"Albert was missing a medicine and couldn't complete the prescription, so he was really helpless. But Princess Wu was convinced that it was me and the prince who had instructed her, and she turned hostile on the spot."
Speaking of this, Xing Chuxue couldn't help but be filled with anger.
She had never liked Lu Shiyin, but as a fellow woman, when she came to seek medical treatment, Xing Chuxue politely agreed to her request and let Albert take her pulse. What Albert said was also true.
Who would have thought that the other party would not appreciate his kindness and instead blame himself.
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have been such a good person.
After hearing this, Lu Zhiran felt that this was indeed something Lu Shiyin could do.
King Wu was going to his fiefdom after the New Year, but Lu Shiyin's infertility showed no improvement, and she became anxious.
If she had no children, when she arrived at her fiefdom, her parents would be unable to help her at all, and her life in the Prince of Wu's mansion would only be more difficult.
In the future, if the King of Wu really has other luck, it will have nothing to do with her.
That's why she humbled herself and took the initiative to visit Prince An's mansion.
Lu Shiyin was originally filled with hope, but in the end everything ended in vain, so she was naturally angry.
Lu Zhiran comforted Xing Chuxue, and Xing Chuxue quickly put it out of her mind.
"I am a magnanimous person and I don't want to bother with her."
They were not the same kind of people, and Xing Chuxue was just chatting with Lu Zhiran.
"Actually, I envy her."
Lu Zhiran didn't understand what she meant for a moment.
"What are you envious of?"
Xing Chuxue said seriously, "She feels that going to the fiefdom is exile, like the sky is falling. But I think that being in the fiefdom is the best thing, as she can make her own decisions, be free, and stay away from disputes."
Prince An's fiefdom was in the Jinghu area, which was not very rich, but not bad either.
Moreover, Xing Chuxue felt that as long as she could be with her prince, she would be happy even if the place was very poor.
She really wanted to know when Emperor Defeng would appoint a crown prince.
Let’s quickly appoint a crown prince and send them all to their fiefdoms.
Xing Chuxue thought so in her heart, and then she asked openly, "When do you think the emperor will appoint a crown prince?"
This topic is a bit sensitive, and only Xing Chuxue, who is straightforward, would bring it up in front of Lu Zhiran.
Lu Zhiran shook her head, "The Holy Heart is hard to predict."
Xing Chuxue lowered her voice, "The prince and I both support Prince Jin."
Lu Zhiran smiled at her and said, "Everything is unknown. We are all women in the inner court and cannot interfere in the affairs of the court."
It is better not to say these words out loud, so as to avoid causing trouble.
Xing Chuxue didn't say anything more and started talking about other things.
Lu Zhiran tried to find out and found that Xing Chuxue had no idea about the relationship between Xiao Yanheng and Hengrui Trading Company, so she didn't say anything more.
When Xiao Yanheng wanted to talk about this matter, he would naturally tell her, and it was not her turn to interrupt.
Half a minute later, Xiao Yanheng and Xiao Yanci came out of the study. Both of them looked happy and it seemed that they had a pleasant conversation.
