Chapter 343: Sun starts to have evil thoughts, and the second prince cuts off the source of the trou
Hasn't the Sun family been taken over by Tong Huaian? Why are they still hanging out with Sun Erye? This Sun Erye is not a good guy.
"That Sun Qi is not a good guy. You should avoid him when you see him next time." Tong Huaian suddenly stopped Jiang Youzhen who was about to leave and said.
"The road is wide and we can each walk on our own side. No matter who he is, he can't get close to me. Should I give way to him?"
Jiang Youzhen naturally knew that the other party was not a good person, but avoiding him was a bit exaggerated, right? The Sun family was not the only one in the city, and the Sun family was just a merchant.
"Ahem!" Tong Huaian coughed lightly, "He doesn't care about meat or vegetables. You should be careful. It's right to listen to me. Let's go back!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought that Jiang Youzhen was young and might not understand, but he only heard Jiang Youzhen say "oh".
"This kid!" Tong Huaian laughed. Don't let others teach you bad things.
When she didn't say anything, she didn't expect to meet someone who really likes it. When she is hungry, she can eat anything.
In the private room on the second floor of Fuyun Pavilion, Sun Qi stood by the window looking down. He kept staring at the two people talking below.
"Go and check the background of that young man!" he ordered behind him.
The person behind him walked to the window and frowned immediately. He knew that the second master's temper could not be changed. It was fine before! The Sun family was not afraid of that little thing.
But now there are many forces coming to the capital, who knows what kind of backers are behind them? Don't offend the powerful, or even the Sun family will not be able to be saved.
"Second Master! This boy is familiar with Master Tong, and he is dressed richly. I'm afraid he is not a simple person. Master has instructed that everyone in the Sun family must be careful in what they say and do during this period. If they cause any trouble, Master will hold me responsible."
Sun Qi's face suddenly darkened, "What? Am I that stupid? Didn't I ask you to find out his identity? I can't touch Tong Huaian, but do I have to look at his face to touch other people?"
"But it's obvious that this young man is not from an ordinary family. Judging from his demeanor, ordinary families can't afford to support such a young man. There must be many people with strong backgrounds coming to the capital to inquire about him during this period of time. We should be careful!"
Sun Qi once again looked at Jiang Youzhen's gracefully leaving back, but still felt unwilling.
"Go check on the girl just now!"
The steward was speechless again. "Second Master, the carriage that the girl got on just now had the Luo family's emblem on it. Recently, the old lady of the Luo family came to the city to stay for a while. The master even personally delivered a visiting card, but the old lady Luo refused because she was not feeling well."
What kind of family is the Luo family? Can the Sun family afford to offend them? It is as easy to crush the Sun family as to crush an ant.
"That girl should be Miss Luo. We must not offend her."
Sun Qi was immediately furious, "This is not okay, and that is not okay!"
It would have been fine if I couldn't see the girl's face, but the visible face was right in front of me, lingering in my mind.
"Then check that boy, go check!"
The steward sighed, "Yes! I'll go right away!"
As soon as Tong Huaian walked into the private room, he saw the master and servant walk back from the window to the table and sit down, and he immediately frowned.
Sun Qi immediately showed a flattering smile, "Mr. Tong, please take a seat. The dishes at Fuyun Pavilion are second to none in the city. Mr. Tong, you must taste them today."
This is my house, how could I not know? Tong Huaian picked up the tea bowl and covered up the sneer on his face.
"I wonder why Mr. Sun invited me out? I'm busy with my studies recently."
I don't trust you! You've been running around in the city lately, trying to win over merchants everywhere. Do you think I don't know?
Sun Qi secretly mocked in his heart, but still said with a smile: "Hehe! That's right, my eldest brother has always been cautious. I have been thinking about it in recent days. It seems that the fundraising issue is still under discussion.
Especially yesterday, we received news from the border that the caravan was attacked at the border, and our Sun family suffered heavy losses. They paid the deposit, and not only did we lose the goods, but we also had to pay the deposit. I'm afraid we can't get the money together for the time being!"
Tong Huaian immediately looked at Sun Qi, his eyes like knives, "Do you mean that the Sun family wants to go back on their word?"
"Not really, it's just that I can't get the money together at the moment. Please forgive me, sir. I need some more time..."
"Oh? How long will it take?" Tong Huaian's tone was very cold. Sun Qi was shocked, but thinking of his elder brother's instructions, he still said it out loud.
"It will take at least one and a half months."
"One and a half months? The fundraising starts one month ago and lasts for three days. After waiting for a month and a half, the daylily has gone cold. It seems that the Sun family is not sincere! Could it be that the Fourth Prince's promise made the Sun family dissatisfied? Or did the Sun family find another place to stand?"
Tong Huaian sneered, but he knew it in his heart. It had begun. These people really regretted it. His previous guess was correct.
The Second Prince was definitely responsible for this. His move of cutting off the source of their fire had indeed hit their weak spot.
……
As soon as Luo Shuhuan returned to the villa and was about to sneak into his own yard, a person suddenly appeared in the yard.
"Where did the Third Miss come back from? The old lady has ordered me to wait here for a long time."
Mrs. Li, who was beside the old lady, had a face full of flesh and fierce eyes. Luo Shuhuan was startled, and Qi Yue was so frightened that her face turned pale and trembled.
Yueya, who was pinned to the ground by two servants, had a look of fear and pleading on her face. Luo Shuhuan knew that this day would not end peacefully.
She thought to herself, if that's the case, why not use the opponent's strength to counter the opponent's strength? Didn't Jiang Youzhen refuse to agree? Someone would make him agree, and then he wouldn't have a say in it.
Although he was unwilling to lose most of the benefits he had obtained, he could still get something out of it. Luo Shuhuan felt more confident and was no longer afraid.
Jiang Youzhen, who had just returned, had no idea what forces were plotting against her behind the scenes. She returned to the study and began to think about the two policy questions assigned by Qian Chongen.
"Master! I have found the shop you asked me to look for."
Qingyan had been waiting in the study room for a long time. Seeing that Jiang Youzhen was writing an article, she did not dare to disturb her. She waited until she stopped writing before reporting.
"Oh! So fast?" Jiang Youzhen just saw a shop with three doors in the West City Market. It should have been a silk shop, but for some reason it was closed and the plaque on it was covered with a layer of dust.
"Yes! This shop is quite famous. All the neighbors know it. I asked a few more shops and they all gave the same reason."
"Tell me about it!" Jiang Youzhen nodded.
"The Chen family is an outsider, and one of the richest families in the city. Master Chen has two sons. A few years ago, Master Chen suddenly fell ill and passed away, leaving behind some assets, and that shop is one of them."
Jiang Youzhen nodded and signaled Qingyan to continue.
"Originally, the family business was supposed to be inherited by the eldest son, but the eldest son was a little stupid, so the second son had his eyes on it."
"Since he is stupid, why can't the other two win?" Jiang Youzhen became interested.
"Because Master Chen married a powerful wife to his eldest son, Master Chen always valued his eldest daughter-in-law when he was alive, and she handled most of the family business. The eldest daughter-in-law is also capable and has some fame in the capital.
But after all, she is a woman, so it is not convenient for her to act. Recently, the second son has been secretly causing trouble for me. I heard that he has hooked up with a big shot from the capital, and he is trying to seize the family property."
