Chapter 1428: 1428 all charged to Su Qingyue’s account 2 Chapter 1428: 1428 all charged to Su Qingyue’s account 2 “He’s very clear about it. If he leaves now, not only will he become an enemy to Pear Blossom Villa, but Xiao Yuchuan, his son, will never listen to him again. It’s better for him to stay and find a way to remove this thorn, me.”
Yinzhu became anxious, “Young Lady, are you saying that he would send someone to assassinate you?”
“For now, he needs to avoid suspicion, so he won’t. But in the future… he definitely will,” Su Qingyue said, her facial expression calm as still water.
“Young Lady, what should we do…” Yinzhu looked panic-stricken.
“When he really does send someone to kill me, I’ll just send someone to kill him. That settles it.”
Yinzhu couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry, “Young Lady, you really are…”
Touching the thick stack of silver notes in her sleeve pocket, which Chang Haotian had prepaid, along with Xiao Chonghuan’s IOU, Su Qingyue said, “Zhu’er, your young lady is already very wealthy. It’s enough initial capital to start establishing my own power.”
“Young Lady, didn’t you say you didn’t make much from Xiao Chonghuan?”
“Xiao Chonghuan couple kept buying things and putting them on my account. They also put on airs, having those merchants bring the goods to the Mansion for selection. With their taste, even if there were truly fine goods, they wouldn’t appreciate the items from this poor Longwan town. So, I picked a group of people to buy a batch of cheap goods and had them ready in the Mansion. When Xiao Chonghuan sent people to the well-known shops in the town, and had the boss bring goods to the Mansion for selection… as soon as the goods really arrived, I’d give the messengers a bit of reward money to send them back, telling them I’d changed my mind and didn’t want to buy the goods, and to keep it quiet. Then, I’d have the people I’d picked in advance bring out the cheap goods I’d bought for the Xiao Chonghuan couple to choose.”
Su Qingyue narrowed her eyes as she spoke, “These two old foxes actually spent nearly 50,000 taels, all on my account!”
Yinzhu was so startled that her heart skipped a beat, “Young Lady, it’s good that you’re clever, otherwise you would have lost a fortune.”
“At first, I wanted to turn against them and make them pay their own bill. Those two old foxes have always been hypocritically nice to me, and I’ll wait for them to turn against me themselves. After all, they can afford to pay a bill of 40,000-50,000 taels. Besides, if I really made them pay, it would have revealed that I bought a bunch of cheap goods to deceive them. Instead, I didn’t expose them. As soon as Shen Yun wants me to become a concubine, I’ll immediately settle the total food and accommodation fees.”
“Young Lady, how much did those cheap goods cost you?”
“In total, one thousand taels.”
“Young Lady, you’re even shrewder than Lady Xiao. She claimed to have given you goods worth thirty thousand taels, which were actually worth just over 10,000 taels. Your transaction, supposedly worth 45,000 taels of silver, was only worth one thousand taels.”
