The issue with the Prince of Chu was thus completely resolved, and she no longer needed to worry about the Prince of Chu doing anything unfavorable to her and Gu Ya.
The Prince of Chu’s forr feelings for her had also completely beco a thing of the past.
Su Yunjin inexplicably felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy stone on her heart had finally been lifted.
...
Gu Family Village!
The Prince of Chu stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the house in front of him.
This place used to be the residence of Su Yunjin and Gu Ya, but since they moved to live in the town, the house had been left vacant.
However, Su Yunjin arranged for servants to co and clean it regularly every month. Everything inside the house was untouched, providing all the essentials for living and staying.
Occasionally, when Su Yunjin returned to the countryside and felt tired, she could still co here for a rest.
The Prince of Chu’s gaze remained fixed on the house, and the woman in red beside him couldn’t help but ask, "My lord, is it worth it to spread false news about getting married just for Mrs. Gu, letting everyone in the world know?"
The woman in red looked at the Prince of Chu with so confusion. She t the Prince of Chu during business dealings, and she owned hundreds of shops in Xiangcheng, each being the most profitable in the city.
The woman always made others take losses in business, never suffering losses herself, until she t the Prince of Chu.
The Prince of Chu was the only man she t who was better at business than her. In all her previous dealings, she had never lost, but in the hands of the Prince of Chu, she suffered countless losses without knowing how many.
Later, the Prince of Chu proposed that they cooperate to make money. Knowing his skills and capabilities, the woman in red realized that cooperating with the Prince of Chu was a sure way to profit.
With silver to be earned, of course, the woman in red wouldn’t refuse.
However, doing business with the Prince of Chu was not without risks.
The Prince of Chu was too clever, and the woman in red feared being manipulated by him. Additionally, she disliked doing business with people smarter than herself, as it always required constant scheming, which was too exhausting!
Nevertheless, after weighing the options, the woman in red smartly agreed to the Prince of Chu’s proposal, willing to collaborate with him.
If the Prince of Chu were just an ordinary businessman, the woman in red would definitely reject his offer. Apart from being a rchant, the Prince of Chu practically controlled the entire Xiangcheng, wielding absolute authority there; by agreeing to cooperate with him, she also found herself a protector.
The woman in red agreed to cooperate mainly because of the Prince of Chu’s power.
The Prince of Chu had long anticipated her agreent, so he wasn’t at all surprised by her response.
The woman in red smiled charmingly, proactively extending her fair, jade-like hand to the Prince of Chu, "My lord, here’s to a successful partnership!"
The Prince of Chu gave the woman in red a cold look, without taking her hand, and suddenly said, "Let’s get married!"
"Ah? What?" The woman in red was stunned, looking dumbfounded at the Prince of Chu, unable to react for a while. Until the Prince of Chu calmly repeated, "Marry !" She finally understood.
The woman smiled gently, with not a hint of shyness in her eyes.
"My lord, this doesn’t sound like a proposal!"
The woman in red could tell the Prince of Chu didn’t like her at all; his words sounded more like a business deal.
Could it be that the Prince of Chu was so used to doing business that he even preferred a transaction when marrying?
