Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 391
Chapter 391 Consolidate Step By Step
The man was stunned. He realized that he had said that sentence in a reasonable manner. Facing the crowd, he said, “Yes … it was Buttface from the next house.”
Who would believe it!
Not to mention that Buttface was a man or a dog, how could an ordinary citizen think of doing such a thing!
Everyone sighed endlessly. Su Wanwan said, “If you don’t say anything, just hang it up and show everyone how vicious your heart is.”
The man thought for a moment and immediately said, “I said! I said!”
However, he didn’t want to expose his patron in his heart. He rolled his eyes and tried to find a suitable excuse. However, he finally opened his mouth. Suddenly, he saw a stick gently poking at his body. He realized that he couldn’t say anything else!
The person who poked him was Su Wanwan! Su Wanwan said, “Speak quickly!”
“Uh” the man shouted, unable to say anything.
Actually, Su Wanwan knew that he wouldn’t be able to say it, because she had sealed his dumb acupoint with the help of a stick!
Su Wanwan suddenly pulled the black cloth on the man’s head and said, “Don’t panic, you won’t be able to see everyone. I don’t think you’ll panic anymore. Speak slowly.”
What did he say! The man was about to cry, but he suddenly heard his voice, “It’s the Emperor!”
The man was stunned. He didn’t say anything at all!
Su Wanwan put down her hand that covered her mouth and coughed twice. “This person also framed the Emperor! Damn it! Someone, drag him down and kill him!”
“Yes!” The guard immediately dragged the man down.
The people who stayed here were all discussing. They always felt that what that person said might be correct, and they were increasingly displeased with Qi Delong.
Su Wanwan’s expression was very calm as she said, “Everyone, let’s disperse.”
After everyone left, Su Wanwan continued to serve porridge to the refugees. At this moment, Qi Delong, who had been shaken out of the truth by Su Wanwan, sat in the Heart Nurturing Hall and watched the memorial. The more he watched, the deeper his brows furrowed. Suddenly, a man hurriedly ran over and told him what had happened. Hearing that, his expression changed. “What! The matter has been exposed?”
“Yes! Because Prince Lian, Princess Lian, and Miss Zhu are all helping, that person is outnumbered, that’s why …”
“This” Qi Delong almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He was so anxious about the loss of the treasury that he was scratching his cheeks and ears. He was actually shaken out by the refugees! His reputation should be even worse!
What was he supposed to do! Now, if he didn’t serve porridge, the people would be discussing him! But where did the money for porridge come from? Qi Delong sighed and said, “Drive! Go to the bedroom!”
Everything is too troublesome to sleep!
He slept soundly, but how could he sleep so well?
As the night gradually fell, Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng left. Counting the days, there were only five days left. Qi Delong could only sit on the dragon chair for four days at most!
When Su Wanwan returned to the mansion, she went to the study with Qi Chengfeng. She read, he wrote, and quickly drew up a list. Qi Chengfeng said, “How do you know that these people are enemies of Qi Delong? Also, are you sure that these people have debts with the Emperor?”
“Of course I’m sure. Don’t worry.” Su Wanwan smiled.
She had already sent mosquitoes, rats, birds, and other animals into the palace to check. She knew the list of debts owed by the treasury. Moreover, she only needed to send a few birds to find out what Qi Delong had done.
Now, Su Wanwan was no longer sure about this list. She winked at Qi Chengfeng and said, “Husband, I’ll tell you what to do tomorrow. Soon, his seat will be unstable.”
“Your husband is very smart! Naturally, he knows.” Qi Chengfeng said. He took her back to her room and said, “You promised me yesterday on the street, but you can’t go back on your word now. Hurry up, I want you to keep your promise.”
Su Wanwan was stunned. What did she agree to yesterday?
After searching in her mind for a while, Su Wanwan suddenly wanted to die in the carriage and hide in his arms to tell him that she wanted a child. Now that she thought about it, her face turned red with regret. She glared at Qi Chengfeng angrily and said, “Hubby, today is a windy day, so it’s inconvenient …”
“Sigh, it’s not like you’re outside the door. Why are you so nervous? This excuse is really not a good one.” Qi Chengfeng smiled, stretched out his arm and picked her up. He kicked open the door and entered the room.
From time to time, the room was beautiful.
The next morning, Qi Chengfeng woke up and went to court with Su Wanwan after breakfast. Su Wanwan sat idle and waited for him to come back.
She was idle, while others were quite idle. They actually came to her door to chat with her. However, Su Wanwan did not like this woman’s identity.
The maidservant said, “Princess, the general’s wife is here. She said that she has nothing to talk to you about.”
Su Wanwan shook her head, “I don’t want to see her. You can just find an excuse to send her away.”
“Yes.” The maidservant answered. However, before she left, General Xu’s wife, Madam Yuan, did not know that we had barged in. “Princess, how excited you are today!”
Su Wanwan’s face was cold. She didn’t want to laugh at her. She directly said, “If there’s anything, just say it. If there’s nothing else, just leave. It’s your coming that disturbs my interest.”
“Princess Lian is really joking.” The smile on Yuan shi’s face gradually disappeared. She walked over to Su Wanwan and said directly, “Princess Lian, to tell you the truth, I came here to discuss something with you. Do you know about Wen Shan? My old man said that the Emperor intends to sell that place for a high price, at least a million taels of silver! That’s a good place to go in winter …”
Qi Delong wants to sell the land to pay off the debt? “You want to buy it? You want to buy it with me?” Su Wanwan said.
“Exactly!” Yuan shi nodded and thought to herself, “If it wasn’t for your family being a salt merchant before, how could I have fallen to saying these words to you now?”
Su Wanwan thought for a moment. Wenshan was a good place. If it was properly developed, it would bring about enormous economic benefits.
Su Wanwan smiled and asked her, “Since you want to buy it together, I’m also tempted. Tell me, how do you want to buy it together?”
Seeing Su Wanwan take the bait, Yuan shi heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Actually, the Emperor ordered someone to spread the news yesterday. It has already been announced today. I heard that the Emperor will hold this auction in Tianju Tower in the capital after noon today. Anyone with an official name will receive an invitation. You and I definitely cannot bid together at that time, so …”
Su Wanwan always felt that the amount of information was very large. Madam Yuan could not say it clearly, as if she was nervous and did not know what she was trying to hide!
After listening for a long time, Su Wanwan understood what Yuan shi meant. Tomorrow, the people from the General’s Mansion would help Su Wanwan reduce the price. Finally, Su Wanwan bid again. They said that the other people would not increase the price because of Prince Lian’s name. Su Wanwan paid all the money to buy the land deed, and after returning to the General’s Mansion, she would make up a portion of the money.
Su Wanwan agreed, and Madam Yuan left with a smile on her face. She could not conceal the smile on her face along the way and whispered, “Su Wanwan has finally taken the bait! This time, I will make her go bankrupt! I will make her kneel down and admit her mistake to me!”
