Chapter 466: Risky Move(1)_1
"There’s always a way to get rid of it." Lady You spoke coldly, growing increasingly disappointed with her husband. He had no decision-making ability, and in the face of adversity, he could only scream and yell. But when presented with benefits, he would be more proactive than anyone.
"What way?" Li Jiesong’s face was gloomy, "If we don’t sell the shop to get Silver to cover the costs, Lord Hei is not someone we can trifled with. Even my father, if he finds out we’re selling grain, he won’t let us off the hook."
He emphasized the word "us" to remind Lady You that if as the head of family he gets into trouble, she won’t be able to escape. Perhaps even the entire You Residence might be implicated.
Even without Li Jiesong’s reminder, Lady You was aware of this, and she thought even further. She was certain that once Marquis Li found out about their grain trading with the You Residence, he would sacrifice the You Residence first.
After all, the trading of grain in the Northern Land was a big deal. As the son-in-law of Chu Suifeng, Marquis Li wouldn’t dare or want to be used as a stepping-stone, causing Prince Ling and the Li Residence to lose favor.
"I’ll go to the gambling house tomorrow." After thinking it through, Lady You made her decision.
"You want to use Lord Hei to deal with the grain?" Li Jiesong looked at Lady You as if he’d seen a ghost.
"Yes." Lady You answered calmly. Gradually, a large quantity of grain had already been brought in from outside. If they sold it at the price Chu Suifeng had required, the loss in Silver Taels would be something neither she nor the You Residence could bear.
