Chapter 284 Yang Manman Kneels Down to Apology

"No need! There's no need to alarm His Majesty over such a small matter!" Duke Yang spoke immediately.

Although he knew that Shen Yanxi's words were meant to scare him, he had to stop it even if there was only a slight possibility.

If this matter really comes before the Emperor, even if there is no punishment, it would not be worth it if such a thing causes the Emperor to be unhappy with the Duke's Mansion.

Looking at Yang Manman angrily, Duke Yang raised his foot and kicked her leg hard without hesitation.

"You rebellious girl, why don't you apologize quickly? If you can't satisfy Miss Jiang, your father will not forgive you!"

Yang Manman's knee was kicked and it hurt, and she staggered and fell to the ground.

She looked up at Duke Yang in disbelief, but all she was greeted with was a warning and threatening look from her own father.

Yang Manman subconsciously looked around again. Everyone was looking at her and whispering.

Yang Manman almost bit her lips until they bled.

These people must be laughing at her!

"What are you still standing there for? Apologize!" Duke Yang's urging voice sounded again.

Yang Manman was trembling all over and her face was so hot that she couldn't tell whether it was because of anger or shame.

She is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. How could she apologize to Jiang Suining, and in front of so many people? If this gets out, how can she save her dignity?

"Father……"

"If you don't apologize, don't blame your father for being rude." Duke Yang's eyes almost spit fire.

How could she have given birth to such a fool? It would be nothing more than bowing her head and apologizing. Did she have to make a big deal out of it and involve the entire Duke's Mansion before she would be satisfied?

Under the threat of Duke Yang, Yang Manman was finally afraid.

His heart seemed to stop beating, and he stared at Jiang Suining with red eyes, speaking word by word.

"Miss Jiang, I'm sorry!"

Jiang Suining smiled and said, "I hope Miss Yang can explain clearly what you are sorry for."

There was a faint smell of blood in Yang Manman's mouth, and her lips had been bitten by her.

She took a deep breath and said, "I shouldn't have threatened you, nor should I have said nonsense to slander you. I'm sorry. Is that ok?"

Every word was like a knife cutting through her mouth, causing her to bleed in pain, or like muddy and dirty footprints, humiliatingly trampling on her self-esteem.

But, it's all your own fault.

Jiang Suining looked at Yang Manman, and when their eyes met, she nodded.

"Miss Yang can get up now."

Yang Manman endured the pain and stood up, feeling the gazes of the people around her, and her whole body began to feel hot.

"What are you still doing here? Why don't you go back home and reflect on your mistakes!"

Duke Yang's scolding was undoubtedly another slap in the face of Yang Manman. She clenched her hands and dug her nails into her palms until blood flowed out and sharp pain spread from her palms. Only then did she come to her senses, glanced hatefully at everyone around her, and turned to get into the carriage.

Duke Yang looked at Shen Yanxi and said, "Sir Shen, this memorial..."

"Don't worry, Duke. Since Miss Yang has already apologized, this matter will naturally not be brought to the attention of His Majesty. However, in the future..."

"This time, I failed to discipline my daughter well. I will definitely discipline her properly in the future and this kind of thing will never happen again." Yang Guogong said publicly.

Although he was also very angry, he still maintained his dignity in front of everyone.

After the carriage from the Duke's Mansion left, the merchants who had just arrived immediately surrounded them.

"Ms. Jiang, I have thought through what you said yesterday and am willing to cooperate."

"I am willing to do so too!"

"Yes, me too, but I don't know what the cooperation rules are set by Miss Jiang?"

Several people were thinking very clearly in their hearts, Jiang Suining was so capable that even the Duke's Mansion had to bow down before her, and she also had the protection of the Emperor, so it seemed that the future business would surely be prosperous and profitable!

If you miss this opportunity, you will probably regret it later.

Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi, who smiled.

"You take care of business first."

"Okay." Jiang Suining responded.

Soon, she discussed cooperation with several merchants.

Shen Yanxi chose a seat by the window on the second floor of Ningxiu Restaurant and drank tea leisurely.

About half an hour later, after everything was agreed upon, Jiang Suining came over.

"Is everything settled?"

"Yes." Jiang Suining nodded. "They have paid a total of 120,000 taels of silver. There will be no problem with starting the initial construction."

"So do you plan to continue raising money?"

"Yes, but the subsequent method will change." Jiang Suining's eyes were clear, and it was obvious that he had thoroughly thought out the subsequent plans.

Shen Yanxi believed in Jiang Suining's ability and did not ask any further questions. He just smiled and said.

"This incident at the Duke's Mansion will soon spread throughout the Imperial City, and there will surely be many people looking for you to cooperate with them."

The issue of how to accommodate refugees and beggars has always been a headache for the imperial court.

If it is not handled properly, it will not only affect the image of the imperial city, but will even affect the stability of the imperial city.

Sui Ning's promise this time made the emperor very happy. With the emperor's support, the reconstruction of the west city will surely attract much attention. When the news of cooperation is released, naturally many people will be interested.

Of course, the news that even the Duke's Mansion admitted its mistake would definitely make the matter even more eye-catching.

"I also want to thank you. Otherwise, even if I wanted to make this promise, I would not be able to convey the news to His Majesty so quickly." Jiang Suining thanked him sincerely.

The same thing happened with the ice-making incident last time. Although the technique is not new and useful, if it weren't for Shen Yanxi, he might not have been able to use this technique in time.

Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining with a smile, "I told you before, there is no need to thank each other."

He was already very happy that Sui Ning could ask him for help.

Jiang Suining also looked at Shen Yanxi and smiled.

"You should still say thank you. After all... there is still something I want you to help me with!"

"What's the matter?"

"I want to meet the Third Prince."

……

In the afternoon.

Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi arrived outside the Third Prince's Mansion together.

After someone informed them, the two were invited in not long after.

When I walked into the lobby, Xiao Ling was already sitting there drinking tea.

"I have met His Highness the Third Prince."

"I have met His Highness the Third Prince."

Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi bowed together.

Xiao Ling glanced at Jiang Suining, then shifted his gaze to Shen Yanxi.

"Get up."

After the two stood up, Xiao Ling asked the maid to serve tea.

"Lord Shen came to my Third Prince's residence today, and he brought his fiancée with him. I don't know why."

"I came here today with Sui Ning. I hope Your Highness can forgive me for any inconvenience I have caused you." Shen Yanxi had a faint smile on his face, which did not look genuine, but was not impolite.

Xiao Ling's eyes fell on Jiang Suining, "Really? Then I wonder what Miss Jiang can do for you?"

"Your Highness, you are too kind. I certainly don't deserve your advice. However, I recently bought a piece of land in the west of the city and am planning it. I would like to ask Your Highness for advice. Do you have any suggestions?"

Jiang Suining's smile was gentle and polite, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes, "This prince does not know anything about business matters. Miss Jiang may have asked the wrong person."

"Really?" Jiang Suining was slightly stunned. "Then it seems that I misunderstood. I thought Guangyunlou had good business and the previous Mid-Autumn Festival competition was very successful, so I naturally thought that Your Highness should be quite knowledgeable about business. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Xiao Ling's eyes darkened.

He had previously received a message from Qi Niang, and knew that Jiang Suining's knowledge of the cooperation was a plot, but he did not expect that Jiang Suining also knew that Guangyun Tower was his property.

Picking up the teacup beside him, he cast a sharp gaze at Jiang Suining through the mist.

Xiao Ling didn't intend to deny anything anymore and spoke straight to the point.

"It seems that Miss Jiang is here to call for justice today."
