Chapter 812: Won't Last Half a Year
"I'd heard the Prince of Yan prefers the company of men," Yunxiang said. "Seeing him today, those rumors might not be entirely baseless."
The scent of his cosmetics was overwhelmingly strong.
Chen Changsheng smiled wryly. "Since you came out of your way to ask about this, it seems the Prince of Yan really has swindled a significant amount of silver taels from the trading firm."
"Young Master Tang told me that over the past two years, at least three hundred thousand silver taels have gone missing in Yan Land," Yunxiang replied.
Chen Changsheng paused in surprise. "Three hundred thousand..."
That was far more than he had imagined.
"The grain trade in Yan Land makes up a massive chunk of the trading firm's primary business," Yunxiang explained. "Those profits accumulate piece by piece into an astronomical sum. Even the slightest shortage is glaringly obvious."
"You might not be able to get that silver back," Chen Changsheng noted.
Yunxiang offered a faint smile. "I never expected to get it back. I just wanted to give him a warning."
