Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 359

Chapter 359 Tragic Schemes
At this moment, the Second Prince’s Mansion.

Qi Delong hurriedly took the contract to the study, then closed the door and immediately looked at it. He was so excited that he shouted. It was written that all the money belonged to them!

However, looking down, Qi Delong’s expression became even heavier. It was written that the profits and losses of the past ten years would belong to them!

Although salt definitely wouldn’t lose money, but … he always felt that something was wrong in his heart. Why was this?

At this moment, Qiao Nuanyu was applying the so-called volcanic mud in her room. When she opened it, she felt that the stench suddenly spurted out, and it was very pungent. She always felt that the smell was very familiar.

After thinking for a long time, she suddenly realized that this smell was exactly the same as the sludge she had fallen into the lake before!

However, when Qiao Nuanyu remembered, her face was already covered. The cold feeling made her feel that what she was thinking was an illusion. When a maidservant saw it, she immediately hid away and said, “Miss, there are insects on your face!”

“Ah? What!” Qiao Nuanyu immediately called someone to bring the basin over and washed her entire face. After washing five or six times, she found a few tiny swimming insects in the muddy water. Those insects were the insects in the lake!

Qiao Nuanyu felt a chill run down her spine. She wanted to throw something and shout and endure it. She had just come out of the Zhao Clan. She had to make use of Madam Zhao’s face today to expose Qi Delong’s bad complexion.

Just as he was thinking of Qi Delong, the door suddenly kicked open. Qi Delong walked in and said, “Prepare to go to the East China Sea Salt Storage to accept the silver.”

“Yes.” Qiao Nuanyu answered, laughed, and immediately went to pack her things.

The two of them walked day and night. After walking for a few days, they finally arrived at the salt bin in the East China Sea. Qi Delong took out the documents given to him by the Zhao clan and the person in charge immediately caught Qi Delong. He said unhappily, “Are you the person Qiao Fu sent to take over? Hmph! He borrowed 600,000 silver from us and quickly returned it!”

“This” Qiao Nuanyu was stunned. She suddenly remembered that this salt warehouse was indeed Qiao Fu’s salt warehouse. From what Qiao Fu had said, the profit was huge. How could she owe money?

“Uncle, is there a misunderstanding? You didn’t manage this salt storage. Where is the silver now? Why haven’t we seen it?” Qiao Nuanyu asked.

“You still want money!” The man looked at Qiao Nuanyu with an “unreasonable” look. “I’m in charge of this salt storage. However, other than the wages, this salt storage is paid by Qiao Fu!” It’s just that Joe doesn’t pay us the money, he even deducts the money! Now, he owes us 5,000 taels of wages! Yan Nong didn’t get any money either. He owed Yan Nong 100,000 taels of silver! And forced us to borrow money for him, we owe him 600,000! ”

“Ah? This” Qi Delong no longer smiled and didn’t ask about the money he owed. He only said, “Where is the silver that the salt store earns?”

“He took them all. How do we know?” That person cursed angrily and told him what he had heard, “I heard that he took it to raise a concubine! The one surnamed Liu! That woman had spent a lot of money, tsk tsk tsk …”

Liu? Isn’t that her mother? Qiao Nuanyu’s face darkened.

Qiao Fu wanted her dead! Why would she spread out these two people! Qiao Nuanyu felt hatred in her heart.

This time, Qi Delong finally discovered the purpose of Su Wanwan and Niang. No wonder they gave the profits from this salt storage to them so easily! It turned out that he wanted them to wipe the butt of the salt bin!

Qi Delong flung his sleeves in anger and hatred, and Qiao Nuanyu immediately followed. Both of them were stopped, “You two must pay back the money! Otherwise, I will kill you!”

“…”

Why was this person so crazy? He was the second prince! Qi Delong said coldly, “I am the Second Prince. If you unruly people dare to disrespect me … Aiyo!”

Before Qi Delong could finish speaking, someone picked up the dirt and threw it at his face. “I don’t care if you’re a prince or not! If you don’t give us money, we won’t have any food to eat, and we won’t be able to live! What do we need this life for? Are we afraid of you?”

Suddenly, dozens of people rushed out and said, “That’s right! We want money! Now that you have inherited the money warehouse, pay the money back for Joe!”

“…”

Everyone felt as if they weren’t having enough fun, so they all picked up something and threw it at Qi Delong. Occasionally, Qi Delong’s entire body was covered in dirty black mud, and he said angrily, “Someone come! Kill them!”

There was no need for everyone to be afraid! Call out more people to deal with a team of only a dozen or so people. From time to time, they would win. Instead, they grabbed the saber and placed it on Qi Delong’s neck.

Qi Delong was very angry. After paying for the money, he immediately set off for the capital. As for Qiao Nuanyu … he directly threw her by the river and left by boat!

Once he arrived in the capital, Qi Delong had a dark face and wanted to go to the Zhao Manor to interrogate him, but he was afraid that he would be embarrassed. He could only breathe a sigh of relief after thinking for a while, and then went to visit Nian General Shi Chengshun, who had just recovered from a long illness.

Shi Chengshun proudly took out a bag of things and smiled, “Did you hear that Qi Chengfeng is suffering from a terminal illness?”

“What terminal illness? He looks like an ordinary person.” Qi Delong said.

A mysterious smile appeared on Shi Chengshun’s face. “I also heard rumors. I don’t know if it’s true, but … what that immortal said is most likely true!”

As he spoke, Shi Chengshun looked at the item in his hand and said, “If this item is one foot closer to Qi Chengfeng, Qi Chengfeng will undoubtedly die!”

“Oh?” Qi Delong looked at the thing and laughed, looking forward to it.

Shortly after, Zhu Yue received a letter from the Zhu Manor. He opened it and found that it was Shi Chengshun’s handwriting. There was also a small package of toys attached to it, but it didn’t say anything. He only warned, “Bring it with you will help you succeed.”

Zhu Yue felt very strange. He put the food on his waist and carried the food box to the Third Prince’s mansion. There was also his proud white steamed bun in the food box.

Third Prince’s Mansion.

Qi Chengfeng and Su Wanwan were playing chess when a hand suddenly appeared on the chessboard. Su Wanwan immediately slapped his hand away and said, “Zhu Yue, stop messing around.”

“Sister-in-law, I heard that you cooked for the Third Prince yesterday? The food was so fragrant that it could be said to be ten miles away. I haven’t eaten yet today, so why don’t you …”

With this expression, one could tell that he was here to eat! How could he let his wife cook more? That’s not tiring her! Qi Chengfeng said, “What’s wrong, the white steamed bun in Zhu Manor is not delicious?”

“No, that’s right” Zhu Yue smiled awkwardly and was suddenly pushed away by Qi Chengfeng. “Qi Chengfeng, I’m here to eat. How can you do this? Don’t push me, right?”

“…”

Qi Chengfeng knitted his brows tightly, cold sweat appearing on his forehead. He could not say a single word, as if he was enduring something.
