Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 238
Chapter 238 Whose Credit
The Yun Clan was covered in dark clouds. At this moment, Yun Xiao was sitting on the carriage. She was watching the houses on both sides of the road being smashed out by the hail. Some of the houses or shacks in front of the houses were broken. Therefore, many of the houses were repaired, and quite a few people had already set up stalls.
Relatively speaking, the most bustling food and medicine shops were now.
Many people in front of the grain shop were waiting there with gunny bags in their hands. Everyone was in a hurry, looking anxious, deeply afraid that this kind of natural disaster would happen again.
And because of this calamity, the price of rice had risen by 10%.
Especially in front of the pharmacy. The hail was too hasty this time. Although the ban was imposed, many people were still injured. It was inevitable to buy medicine for injuries.
Overnight, although it was not as prosperous as before, it had returned to normal.
‘”Ah, you said it was good. Why did it hail in the winter? These profiteers have increased their rice by so much. Normally, ten cents a kilogram of rice costs twelve cents a day. How are the people going to live?” A man wearing a tattered robe walked past the carriage and kept complaining about the increase in the price of rice noodles.
Another person quickly said, “What do you know? There are only a lot of pharmacies over there. It’s already good to be able to buy them.”
Yun Xiao heard this kind of conversation not once or twice in the carriage. Her slender eyebrows furrowed tightly. In an instant, she actually sat down and started bidding?
Not to mention, she didn’t hear her father mention this matter today, did she?
Yun Lan rode his horse to the side of the carriage and knitted his brows. “Fourth sister, what’s going on now? Those people seem to have come out of the shop under our name.”
Yun Xiao also did not know the situation. She stopped the carriage and asked Chun Lan to go out to investigate. She was not afraid of delaying the journey. For such a short period of time, there was no major problem.
Not long after, Chun Lan asked, When they reached the carriage, “Young lady, county princess Huining is too angry. She sent someone to buy rice from the Yun Family’s rice shop and built a small shed in front of our shop to sell the rice noodles. With just a change of hands, she sold the rice noodles for two more cents. Not only that, she also sent someone to block our shop and forbid others from buying our things.”
She had never seen anyone more shameless than county princess Hui Ning earn such unscrupulous money.
Hearing this, Yun Xiao’s expression became angry. Anger also appeared in Gu Jingwubo’s eyes. She did not expect county princess Huining to use such a method. She truly regarded the royal family as correct.
However, Chun Lan did not stop and continued, “Not only is this the case with the rice shop, it is also the case with the medicine shop. This county princess Huining is really too bullying.” He was even more shameless than a villain.
When she heard this news, she wished she could go look for county princess Huining and fight to the death.
Yun Lan also frowned. Previously, he thought county princess Hui Ning was a good person, but he didn’t expect that he would have such schemes. “Fourth sister, what should we do now? Could it be that county princess Hui Ning is allowed to continue like this?”
Yun Xiao listened to the chaotic voices around her, but she gradually calmed down. “Second brother, I’ll do this. Since county princess Hui Ning is heartless and used such despicable methods, don’t blame me for being unintentional.”
“Fourth sister, what can you do?” Yun Lan instantly became interested. Seeing the light flickering in his fourth sister’s eyes, Yun Lan’s eyes also flashed.
“You’ll know later.” Yun Xiao deliberately sold a key point, pulled Chun Lan over, and warned her a few times in her ear. Chun Lan’s eyes shone brightly, and she hurriedly replied, “This servant will do it now.”
Seeing that Yun Xiao did not tell him, Yun Lan said, It was as if a cat had scratched its head. However, he did not ask any further. Instead, he stared at Chun Lan’s figure. When he saw her, he took out the jade pendant given by Yun Xiao and ordered the shopkeeper to close the shop. He then took out the jade pendant and ordered the shopkeeper to close the shop. He then instructed the others to inform the other shops that they were all closed today.
Chun Lan’s actions attracted the attention of many people. Many people looked at Chun Lan one after another. Among them, county princess Huining’s eyes were filled with anger when they saw Chun Lan.
The people followed Chun Lan and kept asking, “How can they buy medicine to buy food after closing the food shop and the pharmacy?”
County Lord Hui Ning’s people bought the items and would continue to sell them. It was just that the price had risen a little. However, now that all the shops under the Yun Clan’s name had been closed, no one could buy them anymore.
Chun Lan did not look at it in her eyes. She stood beside the road and said loudly, “Everyone, please don’t be anxious. Today, all the shops under the Yun Clan’s name don’t peddle anything. It also saves some people from starting prices on the ground and causing their parents and villagers to spend so much money in vain.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, someone retorted, “You shut the shop, how are we going to buy things?”
Chun Lan smiled and looked at the person who asked, Recognizing that this was county princess Huining’s person, With a cold snort, “No one can buy rice or medicinal ingredients from us, But there’s one place you can buy it, My girl said, If I don’t fight with His Highness the Crown Prince for business today, Today, His Highness the Crown Prince distributed medicinal ingredients to the refugees in the southern part of the city, “All the ingredients are free. This is a natural disaster. We can’t let the people have a hard time. We don’t need to spend a penny to get the ingredients to treat their wounds. Please come over in time. As for the rice, we won’t sell it today. My girl said that if there is a natural disaster in the next few days, our Yun Family’s rice will be sold at a 30% lower price.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Everyone in their homes would store up some rice or something. They would only buy it a few days later. If a natural disaster occurred again, the price would be lowered. If there was no natural disaster, the original price would still be the same. Why would they queue up here to buy something like County Lord Hui Ning?
There were also medicinal ingredients that were free. Who would buy them with silver? Furthermore, they were personally distributed by the Crown Prince. There definitely wouldn’t be any mistakes.
After everyone heard this, they all felt grateful to the Yun Clan’s Fourth Young Lady and also to His Highness the Crown Prince.
In just a short moment, the city was filled with empty alleys.
When Chun Lan saw that everyone had left, only the county princess of Hui Ning remained dumbfounded. Even though he was satisfied, he walked back to the carriage and said with a smile, “Miss, am I doing well?” However, everyone was dumbstruck when they saw the people that County Lord Hui Ning had brought. They wished they could eat her. They were in a good mood.
Yun Xiao nodded Chun Lan’s head and said with a smile, “You did a good job.”
Even Yun Lan’s eyes lit up on the other side. “Fourth sister, your method is really good. However, how did you know that His Highness the Crown Prince was distributing medicinal ingredients in the refugee area? It’s still free of charge?”
Yun Xiao smiled mysteriously. “Naturally, I heard what His Highness the Ninth Prince said.”
When Yun Lan saw Yun Xiao winking, he knew that there was a story inside. He laughed twice and was in a good mood. “However, Fourth Sister, do you think father would blame you for taking the initiative to lower the price of rice in a few days?”
Yun Xiao curled her lips. A trace of a smile appeared in Gujing Wubo’s eyes. “I only said that if there was a natural disaster, the price would be reduced. If there was no natural disaster, the price would naturally be the same.” After this hail, the capital was safe until the New Year. That was why Yun Xiao dared to praise Haikou like this.
Yun Lan looked at Yun Xiao again. At this time, he had no choice but to admire his fourth sister. She was really a good businessman. If he had not thought of such an idea, he would definitely not have thought of it.
However, Yun Xiao had already opened her mouth and urged, “Alright, let’s hurry up and leave, otherwise it will really be too late.”
Yun Lan looked at the sky. He really wanted to speed up his journey.
However, Yun Xiao’s eyes skipped over the beam. Since this hail could injure people, I’m afraid the bricks and tiles on this house would also be shattered, right? I can’t see it now. I’m afraid that if it rains again in the future, the house will fall into the water.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiao wrote a letter and invited someone to give it to the Crown Prince, Zhou Jingchen.
“Let’s quickly leave.” After Yun Xiao finished saying those words, she looked at the window of a restaurant indifferently. Her eyes were filled with cold light. If she could come back early today, she would still want to see someone.
Yun Lan nodded without any objections.
After Yun Xiao’s carriage disappeared from the road, a large red and subcyan figure appeared by the window of a restaurant.
Zhou Jingyan watched Yun Xiao’s figure walk further and further away, his eyes flickering. This woman was smart, but in just a few words, everyone dispersed, giving County Lord Hui Ning a bad name.
Upon mentioning county princess Hui Ning, Zhou Jingyan raised his head to look at the person opposite him, his eyes filled with anger. “I warned you not to do this before, but now it’s better. The silver did not earn, but instead gave Yun Xiao a good reputation.”
County Lord Hui Ning watched as he walked further and further away. The sleeves under his wide sleeves were tightly clenched together. The pain in his palms reminded County Lord Hui Ning that it was that bitch again who had ruined his own big deal!
“I also don’t know if Yun Xiao will come up with such a method.” If she knew, she definitely wouldn’t have done this. Of course, all of this had to be attributed to Zhou Jingyan. If it wasn’t for his lack of silver, why would she have taken this path?
“Now is not the time to talk about this, but the Crown Prince has really gone to deliver the medicine. It’s still free medicine. Where did the Crown Prince get so many medicine?” Zhou Jingyan muttered to himself. Suddenly, his hand that was holding the windowsill tightly gripped up. No wonder Yun Xiao had bought so many medicinal ingredients a few days ago. He was afraid that these medicinal ingredients had been given to the Crown Prince in a single move, and he had made a favor, “Yun Xiao!”
County princess Hui Ning also remembered this matter and her expression became ugly. “It must be her. She is the only one in the capital who has such a large amount of money. Moreover, she also has a large number of medicinal ingredients in her hands. Moreover, since she knows that Prince has sent medicine, she must only know about this matter very well.”
This time, county princess Hui Ning really hated Yun Xiao to death. Originally, it was her credit, but now, it was all snatched by Yun Xiao.
“This matter is no longer important. Right now, the main thing is how to remedy my status in Father Emperor’s heart. The credit for this calamity originally lies with you and me, but today, the Crown Prince has snatched all of Yunxiao’s credit.” This is what Zhou Jingyan cared about the most. He looked at County Lord Huining gloomily. “This matter is because of you. You should solve it!”
County princess Huining was stunned. “Me? How should I solve this problem? Should I also buy medicine and send it out for free?”
Zhou Jingyan sighed. County prince Huining was truly stupid. “With the Crown Prince giving out the medicine, even if you continue to give out the medicine, you won’t be able to obtain any credit. Since you don’t know what to do, just stay here and I’ll handle it.”
Since Zhou Jingchen had given him the medicine, he would give him a favor!
Zhou Jingchen strode out of the restaurant and instructed the butler to call the doctor immediately. The more doctors, the better.
Seeing Zhou Jingyan leave him like this, the county princess of Hui Ning’s expression became even more embarrassed. She threw the tea cup in her hand onto the ground and gritted her teeth. “Yunxiao, I will definitely take revenge for this!”
