Chapter 138 I am the fish on Zhao Yao's chopping board

Shangguan Bailin thought that it was his beloved sister's birthday, so his gift could not be shabby, so he wrote homework for his classmates in the Imperial College three months in advance to earn money.

He wrote it himself at first, but later he discovered a business opportunity.

He first offered five taels of silver for each assignment, collected the silver, and then found a few poor students from the Imperial College and asked them to do the assignment for two taels of silver. In this way, he could make a net profit of three taels for each assignment!

In the 213th year of the Chu Dynasty and the 33rd year of Jianxi, capitalism sprouted...

Later, he began to collect silver in advance, one hundred taels per month, and fifty taels per lump sum. He would give it away for every ten times he received it. In this way, Shangguan Bailin had collected five thousand taels in three days.

He lent the silver in his hand to his classmates for free, and when his classmates' spending desire was pampered by him, he began to charge them and set up a new rule: if the money was paid back within three days, it was free, but one tael of silver was charged for each day of delay.

In this way, he earned another two thousand taels.

Later, he founded a homework-writing shop and started to go public and conduct an IPO...

In just one month, he went from being a poor primary school student to a domineering shopkeeper worth 20,000 taels...

And Shangguan Qingyue, as the sister of the domineering shopkeeper, naturally benefited from it.

Shangguan Bailin directly bought a gold shop for her!

Definitely rich and powerful!

When Shangguan Bailin handed the shop deed to Shangguan Qingyue, Shangguan Qingyue couldn't read the words. She asked curiously, "Why did my second brother give me a piece of paper? Did he write a poem for me?"

[Too elegant...]

Shangguan Qingyue didn't know it, but the others did. When they saw the shop deed, even though they were the noble young men and women, as well as the princesses, the crown prince, the duke, the prince, and the emperor... they were still surprised that a ten-year-old child could spend so much money.

Fortunately, Shangguan Bailin’s good character is well known, so no one thinks bad of him!

The prince smiled and patted Shangguan Bailin on the shoulder, "Good boy, how did you do it?"

Zhao Ying also looked at Shangguan Bailin with great surprise, and said to Shangguan Qingyue: "Yuer, your second brother gave you a gold shop!"

Shangguan Qingyue's eyes lit up when he heard this, [I can taste this, Jinpu is good, Jinpu is good! ]

Thinking of this, Shangguan Qingyue stretched out her hand and took the shop deed. Although she didn't recognize the words on it, she looked at it carefully.

The Crown Princess at the side said with a smile: "Yue'er is still a little money-grubber!"

Shangguan Qingyue raised his head and grinned, then looked at Shangguan Bailin, "Wow, second brother is really awesome! Thank you, second brother!! 】

Shangguan Bailin straightened his back, very proud.

Shangguan Shu, as a father, was also proud of it. "Bai Lin, don't keep us in suspense. Tell His Majesty and His Highness, how did you do it?"

Shangguan Bailin told everything in detail, and everyone listened and looked at Shangguan Bailin with admiration.

Emperor Jianxi even joked, "Bai Lin is a smart kid. I think he takes after your second uncle!" He looked at Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded in agreement.

Just as they were rejoicing, Houzhu came over quickly and whispered in Zhao Ying's ear, "Your Highness, there is an urgent matter."

Zhao Ying raised his eyebrows, said goodbye to everyone, and left for the time being.

Shangguan Shu looked at Zhao Ying's back, narrowed his eyes and frowned, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

But he still didn't follow, and continued to chat with everyone with a faint smile.

Dry Garden.

Zhao Ying was followed by Hou Zhu, who said as she walked, "Your Highness, Princess Huai'an sends me the same...rags of clothing every day. Today, it turned out to be a pair of underpants with patches sewn on them, which had been worn by someone..."

Houzhu felt sick even as she spoke.

"I felt disgusted, so I didn't present it to Your Highness. But someone from Zhong Cui Palace came and told Your Highness to go see Princess Huai'an, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

"How outrageous! Where did this filthy fellow come from!" Houzhu couldn't help but curse.

"I felt something was wrong, so I kept that filthy thing..."

Zhao Ying looked calm and said, "You did a good job. Go get all the things and letters that Huaian sent these days, and bring that person here for me to question!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

When Xiao Nanzi was brought here, she looked anxious.

He didn't want to come on this errand.

But that old woman Wang was really too much. Princess Huai'an was short of money and could not afford it. Originally, there was a woman named Lin who went outside the palace to borrow money at high interest, but now Lin was exiled because of the exam question leak case. Princess Huai'an had no way out and was even more strapped for cash.

What's even more infuriating is that Princess Huai'an brought all of Wang Po's underwear to Princess Cheng Qian one by one, but Princess Cheng Qian had no reaction at all. Wang Po was already stripped naked by them and there was nothing left for her to take off.

Princess Huai'an had no choice but to send him here.

What are you sending him here for?

Threatening Princess Chengqian...

He is just a little eunuch, threatening the princess?

This is really a life-or-death experience. I died nine times, and it is worse than death once...

When Xiao Nanzi entered, she fell to her knees.

"Your Highness, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare me. It was Princess Huai'an who ordered this servant. I am only here to pass on the message. I know nothing!"

What a joke! If Princess Chengqian knew that he knew the secret of her life experience, it would be easy for her to silence him.

Zhao Ying narrowed her eyes, her eyes were dark.

She raised her hand lightly and cleared all the maids out of the room.

Next to Zhao Ying's hand was the "token" sent by Zhao Yao and a stack of opened letters.

The content of the letters is almost the same.

Xiao Nanzi secretly raised her head and glanced, and saw that Zhao Ying's face was ashen, and there was uncontrollable murderous intent in his eyes. Xiao Nanzi immediately trembled with fear.

He kept muttering, "Your Highness, please spare me... Your Highness, please spare me..."

Zhao Ying sneered, "Forgive you? Do you know what is written in this letter?"

"I don't know! I'm just here to pass on a message! I don't know anything..."

"Is Wang Po okay?"

"Wang Po..." Xiao Nanzi reacted quickly, then looked at Zhao Ying in fear. It was over, it was over, she had let the cat out of the bag.

As expected, Zhao Ying sneered, with an undisguised coldness in her eyes, "Since you know Wang Po, you must also know my secret..."

Xiao Nanzi was about to cry. He said in a tearful voice, "Your Highness, please understand. This servant is really just a messenger!"

However, the person in front of him ignored his explanation.

Zhao Ying picked up the stack of letters and looked at them carefully. Her fingertips, as white as green onions, trembled slightly. She whispered, "I should have killed you to silence you, but what if I blocked your mouth?"

She looked at the flickering candlelight not far away, with a melancholy look on her face, "Forget it, go back. I don't think you dare to tell anyone about Huai'an... This move is just to threaten me..."

"With this secret, I've become a fish on Zhao Yao's chopping board, at her mercy!" Zhao Ying said with hatred and helplessness.

Xiao Nanzi stared blankly, her heart beating like a drum.

Princess Chengqian didn’t kill him?

Zhao Ying said expressionlessly, "You go back and report. Tomorrow the Queen will go to Zhongcui Palace to find Huai'an. Tell her to wait patiently."

After saying that, Zhao Ying asked someone to send Xiao Nanzi away.

As soon as Xiao Nanzi left, Zhao Ying threw the teacup away in a rage, and then started smashing things here and there like a madman. In half a cup of tea, the ground was in chaos.

It was also the first time that the maidservants outside saw Zhao Ying lose her temper so badly.

Just as I was wondering, Shangguan Shu walked over from a distance.

The maids hurriedly saluted, "Prince!"
