Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 152

Chapter 152 Betrayal
“Miss Su! Do you know why a series of things have happened against you recently? Actually, it’s not that we specifically targeted you. Actually, there’s someone else. If you knew about it, you would have known about it in the past.” The waiter said.

“Oh? It’s just the siblings of the Shi Clan.” Su Wanwan smiled disdainfully.

“No.” The waiter shook his head. “You’ll know when you get there.”

“Alright, then I’ll go.” Su Wanwan asked him to lead the way. The two arrived at Shopkeeper Wang’s inn in less than fifteen minutes. The waiter pushed the door open and Su Wanwan walked in. She saw Shopkeeper Wang smoking a long cigarette and puffing on smoke. She said, “Where is the person behind the scenes?”

“Here.” Shopkeeper Wang knocked on the ashes and said.

“Apart from me, there’s no one else here. Shopkeeper Wang, you’re fine!” Su Wanwan’s tone suddenly rose. Shopkeeper Wang’s hand, which was smoking a cigarette, stiffened for a moment. Then, she took it down and leaned against the saucer on the table. She said slowly, “Other than you, I am here. The person behind the scenes is not me. Who do you think it is?”

Didn’t he mean that she was the one behind the scenes? But how could she harm herself!

Isn’t that funny!

“The ancients had clouds, and the wood was beautiful in the forest, and the wind would push them. Who else can you blame if you don’t blame them for?” Shopkeeper Wang said indifferently.

This was too ridiculous! Just because she was outstanding? Su Wanwan felt that it was both funny and pleasant to hear. “No wonder you guys can’t blow over once the wall is erected. When you get to me and blow on my tree, I haven’t fallen yet. What about you guys? You guys have already blown over and should have dissipated, right?”

“Wrong reasoning and heresy!” Shopkeeper Wang was so angry that he knocked on the cigarette stick and changed the subject. “Su Wanwan! I didn’t invite you here to argue with you! I want you to give up suing Shopkeeper Hu! Let him out tomorrow!”

“You want me to let go? Bullshit!” Su Wanwan snorted disdainfully, “You people from the Chamber of Commerce are courting death by provoking me! You don’t even have the slightest number of thirteen in your hearts! I really don’t know if your eyes have been smelt on your buttocks and you can’t even see what conscience is!”

After saying that, Su Wanwan stood up and directly walked out. “Don’t do anything harmful, provoke me. Shopkeeper Hu will be your end!”

What a crazy woman! Shopkeeper Wang gritted his teeth and spat at Su Wanwan’s back. “Su Wanwan! Toast without punishment! Wait and see!”

After saying that, he sent someone to prepare ten taels of silver to send to the government. He did not believe that the money would not let go of the county magistrate!

However, when the servants returned, he knew that the county magistrate had accepted the silver coins, but he was happy to thank them for donating the silver coins from the flood in Yuanxi Village. Shopkeeper Wang wished he could slap himself again, “The county magistrate had changed! This county magistrate is also a lord who doesn’t want oil and salt! How could he let go!”

Thinking of this, he was worried again. If Renhe Medicine Shop fell down, their Chamber of Commerce would lose a right hand man!

The next day, Su Wanwan woke up and went to the yamen with the villagers. Under the interrogation, she asked the two of them about their crimes and wanted to send them to prison. However, what made Su Wanwan dissatisfied was that Manager Hu was only locked up for one year, and Lang Zhong Li was only locked up for half a year!

Shopkeeper Hu, however, looked at Su Wanwan with a face full of joy. He opened his mouth and said silently, “Su Wanwan! See you in a year!”

“County magistrate! I don’t agree with this result!” Su Wanwan pointed at Shopkeeper Hu and said, “The two of them have colluded and caused the loss of 90% of the chili pepper in our village. If the loss has not been calculated, they will have to pay 200 taels of silver to cover the cost of the loss!”

“That’s right! Another year is too short. What if he gets out of the cell and hurts us again?” A villager echoed.

Shopkeeper Hu’s face darkened. He tried his best to defend himself, saying that it was an unintentional mistake. However, the county magistrate ignored it and directly sent people to Renhe Medicine Shop to collect 200 taels of silver for Su Wanwan, adding another three years for the two of them.

The two of them refused and begged for mercy, but it was useless. Shopkeeper Hu was so angry that he took out the law, “According to my court law, the two of us can only be locked up for one year at most!”

“You think this is your only crime?” The county magistrate motioned for Qi Chengfeng, who was handling the case with him, to take out a notebook and casually flip through it. Then, he told Renhe about the dirty things he had done in the past. “You bribed that official before, so you weren’t punished. Now … Hmph!”

Shopkeeper Hu’s heart went cold. When he thought about the destruction of his inheritance, he immediately regretted it. However, what he regretted was that he did not kill Su Wanwan. Otherwise, there would not have been so many things happening.

After the matter was settled, Su Wanwan went to the bank to find Old Monster Bai to exchange for some gold coins. She handed it over to the village chief for distribution, and then went to take a look at her own business.

It had only been a few days since she had arrived, but the beauty makeup had already run out of immortal water, and the business in the shop had become much more deserted. Su Wanwan went to look at the books. Just as she was about to see how much money there was, Mo Yan suddenly glanced at it. She was a little flustered. She walked to Su Wanwan’s side and said, “Miss Su, I really didn’t steal the money. The money may be a little low, but those women cut the price when I sold the boxes to the women. That’s …”

“It’s fine.” Su Wanwan said, but a trace of suspicion arose in her heart. Sometimes, people would say more and more that she didn’t do it, but she would do it.

Su Wanwan thought for a moment and settled their wages for this month. She then rewarded each of them with one tael of silver. She checked the accounts and found that there were about fifty copper coins missing. Fortunately, she didn’t pursue the matter any further. She warned, “You can’t bargain with anyone else next time. Our family’s goods are so good, it’s worth the price! Buy them or not!”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Mo Yan answered with a smile. In Su Wanwan’s eyes, she felt that there was some flattery in it. The way she looked at her was more like a servant trying to please her master.

But before, her gaze wasn’t like this. What had happened in the past few days?

Su Wanwan was a little suspicious, but she didn’t ask. She returned to Old Monster Huang’s place after closing.

Qi Chengfeng had already prepared the dishes, and the few of them sat down to eat.

Qi Chengfeng gave Su Wanwan several dishes, and his face was full of pampering, causing everyone to be envious. “Eat this, your favorite ribs, this mushroom, and this fish. Tonify your brain, and have some chicken soup to warm your stomach.”

“…”

Su Wanwan was helpless when she saw this.

After dinner, Su Wanwan was about to go wash up, but Mo Yan called her to a corner. “Miss Su, do you believe me?”

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Su Wanwan said.

“Then give me the recipe for the Divine Immortal Water. Since you weren’t here these past few days, our business is pitifully small. I also want to sell more Divine Immortal Water to earn some money to repay you.” As Mo Yan spoke, her eyes flickered.

This was a sign of lying!

“Alright.” Su Wanwan nodded and wrote down the recipe and the production process!

After Mo Yan got the formula, she happily said that she wanted to buy some ingredients to try. Su Wanwan smiled and nodded, but quietly followed after her. Sure enough, she discovered something fishy!

Mo Yan actually gave the formula of her Immortal Water to others!
