Chapter 120 Regret?
"Sixth Prince!?" Madam Lu lowered her voice, looking surprised.
As the wife of the Transport Commissioner, she naturally knew who the Sixth Prince belonged to. After all, the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince were behind many decisions in Suining City.
However, no one had ever seen the Sixth Prince's true form. Most of the time, it was the secret guards who came to deliver messages. That was why Suining City was able to survive relatively well during the famine.
Lu Yunyun groaned for a moment, looked at the legitimate daughter twisting her handkerchief and said, "It was Pei's son who saved Qinghui, but being Pei's daughter-in-law is still not as good as being a princess. Qinghui, what do you think?"
When Lu Qinghui heard her father mention the Sixth Prince's name, she knew that her father had changed his mind, but it was the son of the Pei family who saved her, not the Sixth Prince.
Seeing her daughter was silent, Madam Lu knew her daughter's personality very well, so she chimed in, "That being said, he is the prince. If our daughter marries him, she will most likely not be able to become a princess, but only a concubine."
"You know her personality very well. If she has no interest in the throne, she can't become a concubine. If that's the case, you might as well choose a son of the Pei family, who can at least be the principal wife."
Envoy Lu looked at his daughter, who was very bright and beautiful, and thought about her talent. He still had a little thought about her identity as a princess, so he said, "Qinghui, what do you think?"
Lu Qinghui was stunned, her mind was in turmoil. It was not that she didn't know what her father meant at this moment, but she really didn't want to marry a prince she had never met, even if she could really become a royal consort, she didn't want to do it.
His shoulders sank slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "My parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, my daughter's thoughts are not important."
Envoy Lu looked at Lu Qinghui and knew that she was unwilling, so he said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid this idea is not true, but we should make a long-term plan for the future. Let me find out what kind of person Pei's son is."
Although the Pei family is famous, Pei Yuan doesn't know much about them. He only knows that he is the personal guard of the Sixth Prince. He doesn't know much about the people of the Pei family, so he needs to learn more about them.
But despite this, he has not given up on the position of princess. Qinghui is beautiful and talented, and everyone in Suining City who sees her will praise her.
Although her family background is relatively low, it is not impossible. Moreover, if the Sixth Prince has no intention of pursuing the throne, the princess' family background cannot be too high, otherwise it will arouse the emperor's suspicion. So after thinking about it, Qinghui is still very hopeful.
……
Mo Feifei also rushed to Shunan Mall at 3:00 p.m., firstly, to give face to the General of Cavalry, and secondly, she was also very curious about what the mall was.
But time was running out, so she entered through the side door and wanted to go straight to Guo Xin's private room.
Who would have thought that as soon as I entered the door, I would see the word "Guide" written in large letters on a wooden plaque. Upon closer inspection, I saw the detailed carvings of the mall's product categories. I was immediately attracted to follow the guide and go shopping.
Before I knew it, it was already the beginning of the 11:00 p.m. and I saw that the mall was still crowded with people, with their interest not diminished at all. Even though today was a holiday, normally there wouldn't be so many people.
Thinking of this, as a person who has been in business for many years, his eyes suddenly lit up. This is a big business! If I can join in and help spread it to other places, even to the capital, how much can I earn!
Moreover, this mall can be used to provide a place for weak and helpless women and children to stay, which can also be regarded as expanding one's own good deeds.
As he was thinking about something, his steps became faster in the crowd. He walked from the east end to the west end until he reached the door of the private room and knocked three times.
Guo Xin pushed the door open and walked out. At this time, Zhao He had already left the private room and no one knew where he went.
When she saw it was Mo Feifei, she said happily, "Feifei, you're finally here! I thought you weren't coming."
Mo Feifei took Guo Xin's hand and walked in, saying, "I originally wanted to come to see you as soon as I arrived, but who would have thought that your mall is so wonderful that I forgot the time while shopping here."
Guo Xin poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mo Feifei. This was the tea that she had specially found to entertain Zhao He today.
Mo Feifei took a sip and was a little surprised. Isn't this the Junshan Silver Needle that the master loves so much? So she asked, "Did the Sixth Master come to see you today?"
Guo Xin nodded, but there was no expression on her face.
Mo Feifei didn't notice anything wrong and said, "Xin'er, does your mall still need funds? I can help you expand to other cities."
Guo Xin shook his head and said, "Not yet. I still want to see the effect of this mall here. If we roll it out all at once, if the effect is not good, I am afraid we will lose a lot of money."
Mo Feifei smiled and said, "I'm not being polite. I just thought that visiting your place today was very promising, so I shamelessly wanted to use our friendship to ask for an opportunity to form an alliance. If you agree, I won't enjoy it in vain, and I will definitely make things happen beautifully."
Guo Xin was not surprised by this, but Mo Feifei was on the same side as the Sixth Master. If he allowed her to join the alliance, wouldn't it mean that he also agreed to the Sixth Master's alliance?
Then he shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want you to open a mall with me, but I have an agreement with you before. If he wants the share of the workshop and the hot pot restaurant, he can't open a mall with me."
"What!? You actually signed such an agreement." Mo Feifei paused while holding the teacup.
But he figured it out in a moment. The Sixth Prince had always wanted to put most of Guo Xin's share into his own pocket. He wanted to squeeze Guo Xin clean from the beginning. If he hadn't stepped in to change the contract, I'm afraid the first cooperation agreement would have been difficult to reach.
It's not that she can't understand His Highness's urgent need for silver, but can't His Highness tell the difference between a little silver and a steady supply of silver?
I think he was arrogant again, thinking that Guo Xin, a farmer's daughter, had no good ideas and that it was a natural talent for her to cook delicious meals. This is why he missed the opportunity.
Then he said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. I didn't expect Sixth Master to treat you like this. I'll go back to find him now."
Guo Xin smiled and shook his head. As a minister, how could Mo Feifei persuade the prince? She said this just to comfort herself, so she said, "It's okay. I don't take it to heart."
Mo Feifei stood up and said, "He must not have gone far by now. I will go find him and give you an explanation."
After saying that, he walked out the door.
About two quarters of an hour later, Mo Feifei found Zhao He's residence and said, "Your Highness! Didn't you sign an agreement with Guo Xin before, which basically meant that you would not get involved in Guo Xin's mall?"
Zhao He saw Mo Feifei coming over anxiously and thought it was something important, but he didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter, so he said as a matter of course: "Yes, is there anything wrong?"
