Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 372 Princess Changsui’s Habits

"Master Li, please forgive me for making a clarification. From today onwards, the money raised by the Liu family cannot be spent by the Chen family. It has nothing to do with the Chen family."

Chen Youde stood up and said that the Chen family’s money and property should all belong to him. What did it have to do with Liu, an outsider?

"Oh? What a treacherous and shameless person."

A majestic female voice suddenly sounded, and everyone turned to look, and was shocked again.

Especially the Fourth Prince, his hands were turning pale as he held the tea bowl. At this moment, he was more out of control than ever before.

"Princess Changsui is here!" With a shout of thanks, everyone was shocked.

"Princess Changsui?"

"Why is the princess here?"

Jiang Youzhen looked over when the voice came, and saw a woman in an indigo-colored double-breasted gown being surrounded by a crowd of people walking in.

She is about forty years old but has been well maintained. Her face is as white as a silver plate, full and without a single wrinkle.

She has a pretty face and even though she is wearing simple clothes, her aura cannot be suppressed.

But her eyes and expression cannot deceive people, and you can see the vicissitudes of life at a glance.

"Cousin!" The two princes immediately stood up and saluted.

Princess Changsui nodded, and then returned the greeting, "Greetings to the two Your Highnesses."

Even though she was an elder, she was still only a princess. Facing two princes, she naturally did not dare to boast of her status, otherwise she would be out of character.

Everyone bowed quickly, "Greetings, Princess!"

"My cousin aunt was not feeling well, and I thought she needed to rest, so I didn't disturb her. I didn't expect her to come to me, so I am to blame."

There is something hidden in the Fourth Prince's words. Everyone present here is a smart person. Who wouldn't hear it?

Doesn't this mean that you, a widowed woman, actually want to join in the fun?

"In fact, I heard about your fundraising today. I have seen a lot along the way, so I was moved."

As she spoke, she pulled out a stack of banknotes from her bosom and said, "Here is one thousand taels. I don't have any more, so I'll just throw out some ideas to inspire others."

"Absolutely not!" The Fourth Prince quickly refused.

"This money has to be used for my cousin's aunt's living expenses. If the Empress Dowager knew that we took my cousin's aunt's money for her living expenses, she would definitely punish us severely."

The Fourth Prince was helpless and complained in his heart, "You are really just joining in the fun. What use can you do with your one thousand taels?"

"What a coincidence! If I hadn't settled in Tongzhou Prefecture, I wouldn't have met my cousin Ping'er."

Princess Changsui said this and suddenly pulled Liu over. The two behaved very intimately and she even patted the back of Liu's hand.

"My child, you have suffered a lot these years. I still remember holding you in my arms when you were a child. You were only two or three years old at that time, and you were at an age without worries."

The Fourth Prince was originally still wondering about the purpose of Princess Changsui's visit, but her actions now clearly told him that Liu was under her protection.

The Fourth Prince suddenly realized that the sudden appearance of Liu and Princess Changsui must have other purposes.

He turned to look at the Second Prince. Could this be the backup plan that the Second Prince had left behind? But if it was just a Princess Changsui, it would be far from enough.

Qin Su's face was already full of smiles, and he immediately ordered people to start registering.

The more people who come, the better, no matter whose name it is registered under. Only when more and more money is raised can the fundraising be considered successful.

No matter which prince got the bonus, as the local magistrate, it would definitely be considered a major political achievement of his.

Chen Youde's face turned pale, then blue. He had never expected that Liu would actually marry Princess Changsui.

Not to mention cousins, he absolutely doesn't believe it.

But what can he do now? With the princess as his backer, the two princes can't help but give the princess face. Liu's return to the Chen family is a foregone conclusion.

Princess Changsui tucked the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, then slightly loosened Liu's hand, just enough to cover up the disdain and disgust at the corner of her mouth.

She looked around and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Jiang Youzhen was originally observing her, but he didn't expect to be suddenly glanced at by her.

The pair of eyes that had originally been quite kind burst into a strong light. To use an absurd word to describe it, it was like a wolf seeing a weasel. She couldn't help but shudder deeply.

The feeling is indescribable, a chill runs from the spine to the forehead.

"Please take a seat, cousin." The second prince took a step forward and happened to stand between Jiang Youzhen and Princess Caosui.

Without the other person's gaze, Jiang Youzhen felt more comfortable.

This feeling is not fear, but a disgusting feeling as if a poisonous snake is sticking to your body and crawling around.

Princess Changsui smiled and nodded, and she slowly walked towards the direction of the Second Prince.

However, when she was about to reach the top, she turned around and walked to Jiang Youzhen's side.

"Whose boy is this? I've never seen him before." Princess Changsui's voice suddenly became soft and a little tender, which made Jiang Youzhen feel uncomfortable.

The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, then he thought of something and said quickly, "This is Jiang Xiucai, a close friend of Huai'an."

Princess Changsui looked at Jiang Youzhen obscurely, but was caught by Jiang Youzhen.

However, the next moment her eyes fell on Jiang Youzhen's snow-blue clothes, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

She sat down leisurely, just two people away from Jiang Youzhen.

Jiang Youzhen heaved a sigh of relief, but suddenly heard a muffled laugh. She turned around and saw that it was the Second Prince.

Then the fundraising officially began. With 30,000 taels as the lead, the rest of the shops progressed smoothly.

It must be said that several merchants from other places were extremely generous. Except for Shop No. 1, they all bid for the rest of the shops, which made the local merchants very angry.

Soon the situation in the hall turned into local merchants and foreign merchants forming separate alliances and competing with each other.

And the happiest person is Qin Su. The more the better!

"Four thousand taels!" Another foreign merchant spoke up.

"Five thousand taels!" Chen Youde said gritting his teeth.

"This is crazy. A small shop on a corner can actually sell for 5,000 taels."

"Since Second Young Master Chen has taken a fancy to her, a gentleman should not take away what is good for others. Let's give it to Second Young Master."

These words made Chen Youde so angry that he almost vomited blood. He originally planned to buy this shop for 3,000 taels, but now he had to spend 2,000 taels more.

"Second brother, where did you find these helpers? They are all very wealthy!"

"My fourth brother is not much behind!" The second prince was very proud at this moment.

"Everyone! The shop we are going to see now is the largest one. Although it is built on a mountain, if it is turned into an inn overlooking the river and the boats, it will surely bring both fame and fortune!"

When everyone heard this, they were very excited.

"No further words, let's get started!"

Jiang Youzhen couldn't help laughing. He had to say that Qin Su really had the potential to be an auctioneer and he was good at adjusting the atmosphere.

"Five thousand taels. Although your land is large, it is on a mountain after all, so it will be difficult to build on it."
