Chapter 265 I agree to this cooperation
Li Zheng was holding a box in his hand. It was the gift he had people collect yesterday for Yang Manman.
I just forgot for a moment, and after Yang Manman left, I hurriedly asked someone to push the wheelchair to catch up, but before I got close, I heard Yang Manman's words "dead cripple" in a full-bodied voice.
In an instant, Li Zheng's face turned pale, and he instinctively asked the servant behind him to stop pushing the wheelchair.
On the corridor, the maid heard Yang Manman's words and spoke nervously: "Miss, please keep your voice down. This is in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Don't let others hear it. Besides, when you leave the mansion, the Duke specifically told you to…"
"Don't use my father to pressure me!"
It would have been fine if the maid hadn't said anything, but when Duke Yang was mentioned, Yang Manman felt even more furious. In addition, there was no one around when she had just walked here, so she spoke even more without restraint.
"He is incompetent and afraid, so the Prime Minister's Mansion is going to sacrifice my happiness. Li Zheng is now just a cripple with a broken leg. He will never have any fame or success in the future. He will be trapped in the Prime Minister's Mansion for the rest of his life. How can such a person be worthy of me!"
Li Zheng had loosened his grip on the box and was tightly grasping the armrest of the wheelchair.
Because of Yang Manman's words "I do" yesterday, he originally thought that they were really in love, but he didn't expect that Yang Manman was so unwilling in her heart.
The dead cripple with a broken leg...
It turns out that this is how Yang Manman sees herself!
Although he tried his best to argue for Manman in front of his father and mother, saying that it had nothing to do with her, it was indeed because of Manman's urging that he panicked and fell that night.
Manman didn't feel guilty at all, and her words were even full of annoyance and unwillingness. If that was the case, why did she lie to him in front of him and say that she was willing to marry him and be with him!
Li Zheng gripped the armrest harder and harder, his knuckles turned white and his fingers almost lost all color.
The servant behind him was worried that his master might get angry and something bad might happen, so he quickly spoke in a low voice.
"Sir, you are still injured, please take care of yourself."
Li Zheng did not say anything, but just looked at the corridor in silence. Yang Manman, who had just lost her temper, continued to leave with her maid.
He spoke to the servant only after the other person's figure disappeared again.
"Am I wrong? I shouldn't marry her in my current state?"
"Sir, how can you think like that! This is all clearly Miss Yang's fault!"
The servant's tone was full of indignation.
"It was obviously her who caused you to be like this, and now she even despises you. This shows that she has bad behavior and has failed you. If it weren't for her, your leg wouldn't be injured. Maybe you would have married Miss Lu now, and your future is limitless!"
Li Zheng did not say anything, nor did he tell the servant to leave. He just sat there in the wheelchair in silence.
After a long time, he told himself in his heart that maybe Yang Manman just couldn't accept it at the moment, so she spoke without thinking.
She must still have her own thoughts in her heart. After all, they have been together for so long and she has done so much.
Yes, it must be!
for sure!
As the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival came to an end, peace gradually returned to the imperial city.
Three days later, Jiang Suining brought Xier to Guangyun Tower again.
Because of Mei Qinniang's instructions, this time, Jiang Suining was still invited directly to the third floor, while Xier was waiting not far away.
"It seems that Miss Jiang has thought it through." Mei Qinnan smiled and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Suining.
Jiang Suining looked at the teacup pushed in front of him and said, "I have asked someone to inquire. The court is indeed interested in selling the land in the west of the city, but the price is really high. If we take it, what do you plan to do with it, Qinniang?"
The last time they met, Mei Qinniang said that the imperial treasury was insufficient and she intended to sell a large piece of connected land in the west of the city to fill the treasury.
The business proposed by the other party was to cooperate with himself and jointly pay to buy the land.
In the past few days, she also asked Lin Ziqing to help inquire about it. The court does have this intention, so there is no problem with that.
However, after all, it is such a large piece of land, and the price is naturally high. If you really buy it, how to use it is something that you must consider in advance.
She wanted to know what Mei Qinnan was planning on this point.
"Of course, we will turn that piece of land into a paradise for entertainment. Restaurants, teahouses, brothels and theaters can all be gathered there. By then, that place will become the gold-spending den of the entire imperial city and our treasure pot." Mei Qinniang's eyes flashed with golden light, as if she had already seen a future full of wealth.
Jiang Suining looked at the other party and suddenly laughed, "If Qi Niang doesn't tell the truth, then this cooperation will probably fail."
Mei Qinniang's expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal. She asked in confusion, "Why do you think I'm not telling the truth, Miss Jiang?"
"Qiniang, you don't look like someone who is short of money. And you spent a lot of time and effort to buy the land. If you just want to make money, I don't think you would do this."
Jiang Suining's eyes were clear and showed a gentleness, but in a trance, they seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
It was also as if she already knew the real reason and was just waiting for the other party to speak.
The smile on Mei Qiniang's face faded little by little, "Then why do you think that is, Miss Jiang?"
"Be it a den of brothel or a treasure pot, if all the wealth and power are gathered there, it will become the biggest gathering place for information. Qiniang, is it that the annual competition for climbing heights and winning prizes fails to create enough momentum for Guangyun Tower and achieve the effect you want?" Jiang Suining smiled.
In this imperial city, news is sometimes more valuable than gold and silver.
If it is true as Mei Qinniang said, if all the powerful people are gathered in one place, the collection and dissemination of information will reach an unimaginable level.
Regardless of whether it was Guangyun Tower or other places, if Mei Qinnan's purpose from the beginning was not to make money but to get information, then her purpose of appearing in the imperial city would become even more intriguing.
Meeting Jiang Suining's gaze, Mei Qinnan's charming eyebrows narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of coldness and disappointment.
"Ms. Jiang is indeed a smart person. It seems that I thought too much. Miss Jiang did not come here today to agree to cooperate."
"No." Jiang Suining shook his head, curled his lips slightly, and a playful smile appeared on his face, "I agree to this cooperation."
