Chapter 299 Mysterious Woman
"I usually don't like to worry about this kind of thing, so I handed over all the management rights to Uncle Zhou. I only come here to check the accounts occasionally when I have time."
Speaking of this, Luo Sinian was also extremely fortunate.
If he hadn't happened to pass by here today and come in to take a look, Ji Yuntang and Pei Zhiyi would have really been bullied by Ji Qingqing.
Pei Zhiyi stood up at this time, clasped his fists and said to him: "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Chen, for your help today."
Luo Sinian raised his hand. He admired Pei Zhiyi, a woman who was generous and unpretentious.
"It doesn't matter. You are the friend of the Third Princess, which means you are my friend. It is my duty to help you."
"If you have anything else you want to buy in the future, just tell Uncle Zhou and I'll have him send someone to deliver it to your house, so you don't have to make another trip."
Pei Zhiyi clasped her fists again and thanked him: "Then I would like to thank His Highness Prince Chen first!"
Ji Yuntang's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.
It was the first time she saw Luo Sinian being so polite to a woman.
Thinking back to the beginning, he hated me to the extreme.
At this moment, Luo Sinian's words interrupted Ji Yuntang's thoughts.
He turned his head to look at Ji Yuntang, his magnetic voice filled with unquestionable certainty.
"If I'm not mistaken, everything that happened today was the Third Sister-in-law's idea, right?"
Ji Yuntang touched his nose and said, "I really can't hide anything from you."
"Xi Shi rouge costs one hundred taels of silver per jar. Zhiyi and I helped you raise the price and made ten thousand taels. How about we split it equally among the three of us?"
An expression of "just as he expected" appeared on Luo Sinian's handsome face.
He knew that Ji Yuntang would not allow anyone to raise the price for no reason.
Because of this matter, she had already discussed it with Manager Zhou in advance.
The money they earned was divided into 30% and 70% among them, with Pei Yue Pavilion getting 30% and Ji Yuntang getting 70%.
As long as they cooperate in acting out a play.
Although this practice is extremely unethical, who made Ji Qingqing the one who paid the money?
Thinking about it this way, Luo Sinian felt that ten thousand taels of silver was still too little!
He is also a businessman, and it is not his style to leave money unearned.
Therefore, Luo Sinian agreed without hesitation, "Okay, then it's settled."
Pei Zhiyi said: "Just divide the money between the two of you. I didn't help at all, so I don't want it!"
Ji Yuntang smiled at her and said, "Who said you didn't help? You helped a lot. If you and Ji Qingqing hadn't raised the price, she wouldn't have taken the bait so quickly and even offered a high price of 10,000 taels of silver."
"So, you are the one who deserves the most money among the three of us. It's settled. Zhiyi, don't refuse it."
"Anyway, this money didn't come out of our pockets, so it's a profit no matter how you look at it!"
When Pei Zhiyi heard this, he was shocked, surprised, and speechless.
When she received Ji Yuntang's look, she knew that it was not ordinary.
She didn't expect that Ji Yuntang would cheat his own family so cruelly and didn't feel any psychological pressure at all.
However, from his contact with Ji Qingqing, Pei Zhiyi could also feel that the people in Yongning Marquis' Mansion were not kind to Ji Yuntang.
Therefore, it was understandable that she treated Ji Qingqing like this.
Pei Zhiyi thought about it and felt that if it were her, she might not do better than Ji Yuntang.
The three of them drank tea and talked for a while, and then Manager Zhou brought the silver.
"Your Highness Prince Chen, Princess Ye, Miss Pei, this is the silver that I brought with Miss Ji Er from the Marquis's Mansion. It is a total of 10,000 taels of silver. Please accept it, Your Highness."
Luo Sinian took the silver note, put it on the table, and began to divide it.
Manager Zhou turned around and left, but before he walked out the door, Ji Yuntang suddenly called him.
"Manager Zhou, wait a moment."
Manager Zhou came over and asked, "Does Princess Ye have any other instructions?"
Ji Yuntang asked him curiously, "When you and Ji Qingqing went to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion to get the silver, did they just give you 10,000 taels?"
Ji Yuntang felt that this was very wrong. It took Manager Zhou no more than two quarters of an hour to go back and forth from here to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.
That means he went to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion and the other party gave him the silver without much negotiation!
Luo Sinian paused as he was dividing the money, looking deeply puzzled.
"What the Third Emperor's wife means is that there is something wrong with the money?"
Ji Yuntang shook his head. "It's not the money that's the problem, it's the people that are the problem."
"Based on my understanding of the Yongning Marquis's family, they are not so easy to talk to. They knew that the silver was sold for a hundred times the price of Xishi Rouge, but they still obediently handed the silver to Manager Zhou without any negotiation with Manager Zhou. This is not right."
After all, that family only gave her five taels of silver as a dowry!
Isn't this ten thousand taels asking for their lives?
Luo Sinian frowned. He understood what Ji Yuntang meant. It was simply that the people from Yongning Marquis' Mansion gave the money too easily!
And given their character, it is impossible for them to give the money so smoothly when they know they will suffer a loss.
This is a bit unusual.
Pei Zhiyi listened to their conversation and asked curiously: "Could it be that the Marquis of Yongning knew that the Peiyue Pavilion was the property of His Royal Highness Prince Chen and wanted to sell it to him to give him a face?"
Ji Yuntang picked up a peach blossom cake and took a small bite, saying as he ate: "Absolutely impossible."
She said these four words absolutely.
After swallowing a mouthful of peach blossom pastry, she explained: "Ji Nanchuan is a member of the prince's party. He has always wanted to marry Ji Qingqing to Luo Jingshen and make her the crown princess. This is why they brought me back to help Ji Qingqing marry in her place."
"Although our prince is paralyzed, he is still qualified to compete for that position. Eighth brother is close to our prince and is recognized as a member of the Night King Party, so Ji Nanchuan will not give him face."
After Ji Yuntang explained this, Pei Zhiyi understood.
But she didn't say anything more.
Ji Yuntang looked at Manager Zhou and asked him, "Manager Zhou, I want to ask you, when you went to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, did anything happen there?"
There are only two possibilities for giving money so easily.
Either Ji Nanchuan has other intentions, or he is trying to get Manager Zhou to leave quickly.
No matter which one it is, Ji Yuntang wants to find out.
Manager Zhou thought about it carefully, and after thinking about it, he actually thought of some things.
"When I went to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion to get the silver, I overheard the two guards at the door talking. They said that the Second Young Master Ji brought a woman back from outside at noon today and threatened to marry her."
"That girl was so beautiful that she was the most beautiful woman in the country. Second Master Ji took her back home. When the Marquis found out, he was very angry and asked him to send her away. However, Second Master Ji said that if the Marquis wanted to drive the girl away, he would leave with her and they would travel around the world together."
