She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Over there, Jinrong continued, "Reporting to Imperial Father, the two shops that Miss Ye is suing recently started selling several types of construction tools, attracting a full house of patrons and doing quite well in business. Those tools are products of the Qi Family Mechanical Workshop in Clear Water Village of Yuyuan Prefecture."

At this point, Jinrong paused, seemingly embarrassed, "At that time, I was conducting business in Qingyuan County, and I owned a thirty percent share in that mechanical workshop. I believed that Miss Ye alone couldn’t make much trouble, and if she lost the lawsuit, she would naturally have no alternative but to accept it as a lesson."

In truth, upon serious reflection, it’s not much of an issue. We don’t have such vast wealth to do business across the whole world, do we? Thus, I did not interfere with this matter and I now plead guilty to Imperial Father."

These words only served to increase the pressure on Prince Fu. While he, as the Sixth Prince, was magnanimous enough to give up his interests, Prince Fu had been plotting ways to steal the skills from a woman for his own profit.

This maneuver by Jinrong was a classic example of ’ignorance is bliss’!

Moreover, it is well known that Jinrong has been in business for many years. Even he, with his status as a prince, does not possess considerable wealth to conduct business worldwide, yet here is Prince Fu, living off the court’s official salary, appearing ready to push out the Qi family to become the largest dealer of tools in the land.

This was blatantly making a comparison and slapping him in the face!

At this moment, even though Prince Fu’s face remained calm, he was struggling internally, uncertain of what to do. Should he also step forward and admit his wrongs to Imperial Father? But if he admitted his mistakes, what should he do afterward? Besides, the Imperial Court was no small affair, it had gathered all the important officials of the Great Xia Dynasty. Admit his wrongs before them?

The Emperor stared at Jinrong for a long time. This boy had always been shrewd since childhood. Otherwise, as a prince, how could he have avoided court matters and lived so freely for all these years?

But what did he just boldly claim? That he thought the Ye Family woman couldn’t cause much trouble? Isn’t that just nonsense?
