Charm King Poison Queen

  Chapter 748 End of the game (7)

   There was a burst of laughter in the crowd.

  She didn't care about getting angry, and even scrambled on the ground and got into the carriage: "Go home! Go back home!"

  Ning Yue raised her lips coolly, and got into her own carriage: "Go home."

  …

  The princess was practicing calligraphy with Xuan Xiaoying in the room, when Ning Yue broke the curtain and came in with tears all over her face.

  Wang Hao was stunned: "What's wrong?"

  Ning Yue wiped her tears, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, Sikong Lin bullied me—"

  Children who can bark have milk. She has always understood this truth very well. No matter how strong she is in front of outsiders, she will always be a crying child seeking protection in front of the princess. The princess may know that she did it on purpose, but the princess will do it. As long as she respectfully treats the princess as her first-law mother-in-law, the princess will have to treat her as her daughter-in-law. It doesn't matter if the daughter-in-law bullies her, but why should an outsider criticize her? Especially the outsider's surname is Sikong.

  That afternoon, the princess brought Ning Yue to Sikong's house.

"Lord Sikong, do you have to give us an explanation for this matter? My daughter-in-law has done business for you with good intentions, but you are better off, go to Huichuntang to smash her signboard! Don't you want to be a partner? Just tell us if you don't want to. There is no shortage of this money!" Wang Hao said in a cold tone.

Patriarch Sikong glared at Sikong Lin angrily, suppressed his anger, and said politely to the concubine: "Don't be angry, come drink some tea to calm the fire. I've scolded her about Lin'er, she knows she's wrong, Just thinking of coming to apologize to the princess of the county! Isn't that right, Lin'er?"

   He gritted his teeth and looked at Sikong Lin.

  Si Konglin shrank her neck, and said unwillingly: "She...she said 10,000 taels...I...I just..."

  Ning Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "Miss Sikong, is it really the 10,000 taels I said myself? Did you hear that?"

   "My mother heard it!" Si Konglin shouted.

   "Oh, so your mother said it herself, not me."

   "You..." Si Konglin was choked speechless.

  Ning Yue didn't continue to argue with her, but cast her eyes on the princess asking for help.

   I have to admit that this trick is very useful. The princess just likes to be respected, worshiped, and needed by others. The princess patted Ning Yue's hand, and said to Sikong Cheng seriously: "Call Liu Wanyu out, and I will confront her face to face!"

   Patriarch Sikong invested 8,000 taels of shares. If this matter is true, then he was also deceived by Liu Wanyu. In his heart, he really hopes that everything is a misunderstanding!

  He called the servant girl and pulled Liu Wanyu out of the room.

  Liu Wanyu hadn't woken up yet, and she was in a trance. When she saw the concubine and Ning Yue, she didn't realize what was going on with each other for a while, so she greeted with a dry smile: "Concubine Wang, Concubine Jun, are you here?"

  Princess Wang rolled her eyes and ignored her.

  She froze for a moment, and most of her dozedness woke up. A feeling of uneasiness spread from the bottom of her heart to the top of her head, and her scalp began to tingle.

  In broad daylight, people are working, but my wife is sleeping in the room, what a lazy person! Patriarch Sikong felt a trace of disgust in his heart, frowned and said, "How did you talk about Huichun Hall? Tell me clearly!"

   Liu Wanyu was stunned as if she had been hit in the head.

  Wang Hao said coldly: "Liu Wanyu, when you asked me to invest in the stock, the asking price was one thousand taels. I said it was not enough, so I negotiated for two thousand taels. Is there such a thing?"

   "...Yes...Yes..." Liu Wanyu swallowed, her complexion pale with guilt.

   "Afterwards, my daughter-in-law had a detailed discussion with you at the tea shop. My daughter-in-law said that you will only be allowed to buy shares at the end of the month. I'm sorry for making you wait so long, so I lost you one thousand taels. Is there such a thing?!"
