Chapter 820: Chapter 820: Down and Out
Nanny Sun returned to the Side Courtyard, and just as she pushed the door open, she saw a slight figure sitting at the table, leisurely flipping through a ledger.
“Master.”
She hurriedly turned back to close the door and quickly walked to the table: “Did you not use the main door again and jumped in over the wall?”
Xuexue put down the book in her hand and nodded with a smile.
“Master, do you think it’s appropriate for a young lady like you to be climbing walls all day?”
“Aren’t there too many people at the door, blocking it?”
Well, indeed, there was a slight issue tonight, causing a big crowd at the entrance of the Qinger Building, making it quite a struggle for her, who was ostensibly the owner, to enter.
“Master, who exactly is Prince Pu, and why would he send Zhang San to cause trouble in our Qinger Building?” Nanny Sun was still puzzled, wondering when they had offended such a major figure to the extent that he would pay to disrupt their business.
“Weren’t people outside just saying that we took his business, so he sent someone for revenge?”
“I don’t think it’s that simple.” Nanny Sun stroked her chin, deep in thought, doubting if a Prince would go to such lengths over business.
“Oh?” Xuexue glanced up at her: “Nanny Sun, if you don’t think it’s about business, what else could it be?”
“I can’t figure it out at the moment, it just feels odd, something seems off, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.”
Xuexue nodded, pointed to the stool opposite, and said, “Sit down first, I have something to discuss.”
Nanny Sun sat down on the stool: “Master, what are your orders?”
Xuexue raised the ledger she was holding: “It seems that our business has been quite good these days!”
“Yes! Master, the Capital is indeed a great place, and there are many masters willing to spend money on girls, unlike in Jingshan Town where those countrymen ponder over spending just several taels of silver. Here, the masters are very generous, and if you come across a wealthy man, earning 10,000 taels a day is nothing unusual.” Speaking of business, Nanny Sun’s eyes shone with greed.
Xuexue nodded: “But, Nanny Sun, have you considered that with our business doing well and the money we earn, we also offend more people? Today’s situation is just the beginning.”
Nanny Sun’s smile drooped, and she said worriedly: “Master, you mean that those big shots are targeting us?”
“Yes.”
“Goodness! With a Prince’s noble status and wealth, why would he trouble our Qinger Building?” Nanny Sun was somewhat incredulous.
