Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 393 Pulling the whiskers from the tiger's mouth

"Princess, since Shendantang has a backer, what should we do now? Are we just going to watch Aunt Chu make a fortune using this scar removal cream containing contraband?"

Qin Xin said unwillingly, "I heard that Shendan Hall gave Aunt Chu a very high dividend, and the price of this so-called Nine Revolutions Rejuvenating Pill will continue to increase. Wouldn't Aunt Chu become rich overnight?"

"The prince will definitely get a share of the money, and maybe Aunt Chu will regain his favor. By then, she will be so proud that she won't even know her last name!"

Shen Wantang didn't care whether Chu Yanluo would regain her favor. Anyway, if Xiao Qingyuan didn't favor Chu Yanluo, he would favor Huayi, or other women. In short, it had nothing to do with her.

But if Chu Yanluo and Xiao Qingyuan want to make a lot of money, that's not possible.

She said calmly, "Since this scar removal cream is harmful to the body, we can't let Aunt Chu and Shendan Hall continue to make dirty money. Du Juan, find our people to spread the news that this Nine Revolutions Rejuvenating Pill contains blue gold, which is addictive."

Du Juan asked worriedly, "Princess, didn't you just say that Shendantang has a powerful backer? Since it won't be confiscated, even if we say that their medicine is added with blue gold, it will be useless, right?"

Shen Wantang smiled gently: "It may not have a big impact on Shendan Hall, but it will definitely have a big impact on Aunt Chu. After all, this magic medicine is sold under her name."

"Shendantang is very smart. They deliberately praised Aunt Chu's contribution to the sky and specifically said that this was Aunt Chu's exclusive secret medicine. They didn't take any credit for it."

“If something goes wrong with the ointment, we can push Aunt Chu out to take the blame, and Shen Dan Tang can get away with it cleanly. We can make money, but it won’t damage the reputation of Shen Dan Tang. We can also kick Aunt Chu out and sell the ointment secretly to make a fortune.”

Qin Xin and Du Juan both looked at her in shock: "Is this possible?!"

Shen Wantang sighed: "These are just small tricks. To make a living by earning big money, the water is much deeper!"

Du Juan's face was full of admiration: "I originally thought that Shendantang was a righteous organization, so they were unwilling to take away Aunt Chu's credit. I didn't expect that they were deliberately not taking it? How shady."

Qin Xin sighed: "The Crown Prince's Consort is really smart. She saw through the conspiracy of the Divine Dan Hall at a glance!"

A faint bitter smile appeared on Shen Wantang's face.

She was not smart, she had just seen the Shendan Hall use this trick in her previous life, and they had used this trick more than once, and it worked every time.

"Okay, keep the remaining ointment. There may be some medicine in it that I haven't discovered yet. I will study it carefully later."

"Yes."

"Call the waiter, let's order some dishes and eat in this restaurant today!"

Qinxin and Dujuan both liked to go out to eat with her. When they heard that they were going to eat in a restaurant today, they were very happy and quickly called the waiter to come in.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they did not return to the noisy Prince Ning's Mansion.

While instructing Du Juan to settle the bill, Shen Wantang said, "I haven't been to our fabric shop for a while. I happened to go out today to see how the shop is doing. Before the New Year, my cousin wrote to me saying that there were several pieces of fabric that he couldn't sell. I wonder if they have been sold now. Fabrics are in fashion every year, and it's a taboo to have too much inventory. We have to sell them all."

-

On Fuan Street.

Gu Qianhan was walking slowly. This place was not far from the Shendan Hall. He walked around the street, but in the end he couldn't bear to leave.

He waited until Shen Wantang came out with her maid before he got on the carriage: "Jixiang, follow, but don't follow too closely."

"Don't worry, sir. I understand!"

Jixiang flicked the reins and drove the horse forward.

"Sir, aren't we going to stay at the Shendan Hall today? Didn't you say you wanted to see where the Shendan Hall keeps the silver?"

"It's not too late to wait and see tomorrow. Their money won't run away."

"That's not what you said yesterday. You said that the money from the Shendan Hall should be handed over every three days. We have to keep a close eye on it. Otherwise, if we try to rob the money, we will end up with nothing and our efforts will be in vain."

"Isn't it only two days? There's still one day left. I'm not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry?"

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

"Send a message to Hei Yao later and ask him to keep an eye on the owner of Shen Dan Tang. I want all the money that Shen Dan Tang has earned in the past few years!"

Jixiang's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he couldn't help but lower his voice: "Master, didn't you say that the real owner behind Shendan Hall is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Are you even trying to steal the Crown Prince's money?"

"Because it's the prince's money, we have to rob it."

"Ah? Isn't this like pulling out the beard from a tiger's mouth? You... you don't want to live?"

"Well, no more."

Gu Qianhan's words sounded light and casual, but Jixiang was terrified.

Even his hands holding the reins were ice cold, and his heart was chilled with fear.

If the Crown Prince knew about this, the Second Young Master would be skinned alive! As a servant, he would also lose his head!

Jixiang drove the carriage, puzzled.

He was frowning, he couldn't understand why the young master, who had a good life of wealth and glory, chose to take an unconventional approach and walk barefoot on the edge of a knife every day. Any one of the things he did in private was enough to destroy the whole family!

However, it was too late to get off the pirate ship now, and Jixiang could only go on. It was not until now that he realized that among all the extraordinary things the young master had done, the safest and most common one was actually coveting Xiao Qingyuan's princess!

Therefore, whenever Jixiang sees Shen Wantang, he is extremely happy and wishes he could ask Gu Qianhan to snatch Shen Wantang away immediately and take her home as his wife.

Because only with a wife like Shen Wantang would Gu Qianhan want to live a good life and not do things that would easily lead to the destruction of the family.

The carriage in front, which belonged to Prince Ning's mansion, stopped in front of the gate of Jinxiu Pavilion, and Jixiang also hurriedly reined in the horse and stopped.

"Sir, the Crown Princess has come to her fabric shop. I think she is here to see how her business is going. Would you like to go in and pick out some fabrics? It would be a good opportunity to talk to the Crown Princess. She must be an expert in fabrics and can help you find the fabric and pattern that best suits you."

Gu Qianhan in the carriage had already lifted the curtain and was quietly watching Shen Wantang get off the carriage and enter Jinxiu Pavilion with her two loyal maids.

After the people disappeared, he retracted his gaze and said lightly: "No, it's too deliberate to meet her twice in one day. She will be suspicious."

Jixiang was worried for him: "So you're just going to watch from afar?"

"Ah."

"Sir, this is unlike your previous personality. You used to be fearless and did whatever you wanted. How could you hide like this?"

"What do you know? Being fearless is because you have nothing to worry about. If you have worries, you will have weaknesses."
