Chapter 1428: 1428 all charged to Su Qingyue’s account 2 Chapter 1428: 1428 all charged to Su Qingyue’s account 2 “He’s very clear about it. If he leaves now, not only will he beco an enemy to Pear Blossom Villa, but Xiao Yuchuan, his son, will never listen to him again. It’s better for him to stay and find a way to remove this thorn, .”
Yinzhu beca anxious, “Young Lady, are you saying that he would send soone to assassinate you?”
“For now, he needs to avoid suspicion, so he won’t. But in the future… he definitely will,” Su Qingyue said, her facial expression calm as still water.
“Young Lady, what should we do…” Yinzhu looked panic-stricken.
“When he really does send soone to kill , I’ll just send soone to kill him. That settles it.”
Yinzhu couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry, “Young Lady, you really are…”
Touching the thick stack of silver notes in her sleeve pocket, which Chang Haotian had prepaid, along with Xiao Chonghuan’s IOU, Su Qingyue said, “Zhu’er, your young lady is already very wealthy. It’s enough initial capital to start establishing my own power.”
“Young Lady, didn’t you say you didn’t make much from Xiao Chonghuan?”
“Xiao Chonghuan couple kept buying things and putting them on my account. They also put on airs, having those rchants bring the goods to the Mansion for selection. With their taste, even if there were truly fine goods, they wouldn’t appreciate the items from this poor Longwan town. So, I picked a group of people to buy a batch of cheap goods and had them ready in the Mansion. When Xiao Chonghuan sent people to the well-known shops in the town, and had the boss bring goods to the Mansion for selection… as soon as the goods really arrived, I’d give the ssengers a bit of reward money to send them back, telling them I’d changed my mind and didn’t want to buy the goods, and to keep it quiet. Then, I’d have the people I’d picked in advance bring out the cheap goods I’d bought for the Xiao Chonghuan couple to choose.”
Su Qingyue narrowed her eyes as she spoke, “These two old foxes actually spent nearly 50,000 taels, all on my account!”
Yinzhu was so startled that her heart skipped a beat, “Young Lady, it’s good that you’re clever, otherwise you would have lost a fortune.”
“At first, I wanted to turn against them and make them pay their own bill. Those two old foxes have always been hypocritically nice to , and I’ll wait for them to turn against themselves. After all, they can afford to pay a bill of 40,000-50,000 taels. Besides, if I really made them pay, it would have revealed that I bought a bunch of cheap goods to deceive them. Instead, I didn’t expose them. As soon as Shen Yun wants to beco a concubine, I’ll imdiately settle the total food and accommodation fees.”
“Young Lady, how much did those cheap goods cost you?”
“In total, one thousand taels.”
“Young Lady, you’re even shrewder than Lady Xiao. She claid to have given you goods worth thirty thousand taels, which were actually worth just over 10,000 taels. Your transaction, supposedly worth 45,000 taels of silver, was only worth one thousand taels.”
“That’s right. There is no limit to shrewdness; there’s always soone shrewder.”
Yinzhu suddenly fretted, “Young Lady, if your son-in-law finds out you charged the Xiao couple so much money… Oh no, what if the Xiao couple go to your son-in-law and complain about you?”
“Of course, they will,” Su Qingyue said nonchalantly, “It would be best if Xiao Yuchuan knew about it. In a family deep as the sea like the Xiao Family, once you enter the door, you co out with nothing left, not even the bones. Even soone as tough as will co out injured. If Xiao Yuchuan has any objections, this gives the perfect chance to divorce him.”
“It would be good to divorce him,” Yinzhu said, “Your son-in-law’s parents are too terrifying. If you stay with your son-in-law, you might lose your life one day. It’s better to divorce the son-in-law and stick with Master Chang. Master Chang has no parents, and by marrying Master Chang, with the way he adores you, Young Lady, you’re sure to have all the power for yourself.”
“Zhu’er, you’re too naive,” Su Qingyue said in a calm tone, “Chang Haotian is a man experienced in the martial world, and the Pear Blossom Villa he founded is not as simple as you think. A man like him, how could he be burdened by the private matters of his children?”
