A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

The reason why Shen Qingqian wanted to get back Zhiqing and Zhizhu's indentures as soon as possible was that she was afraid that if something happened to Mu Xinyue in the future, it would implicate Zhiqing and Zhizhu.

Only by making both of them hers as soon as possible can she sever ties with them.

She knew that with that woman Mu Xinyue causing trouble, she would not be able to get her indenture back if she did not come in person.

Shen Qingqian didn't waste any more words. She took out a piece of paper from her bosom, unfolded it, and placed it in front of Zhao Yichen, saying, "This is the blueprint of the crossbow I gave you before. I want to exchange it with you for the indentures of Zhiqing and Zhizhu. Your Highness, please consider it!"

Zhao Yichen looked at the blueprint with mixed feelings. Once upon a time, when Shen Qingqian gave him the crossbow, it was because she was worried about him and wanted to help him. At that time, he could feel her love and reluctance.

And now, she gave him the blueprint of the crossbow, but she was negotiating terms with him, negotiating terms without any emotion. All he could feel was alienation.

Seeing that Zhao Yichen didn't say anything and just stared at the drawing in a daze, Shen Qingqian thought he was thinking about it and didn't urge him.

Shen Qingqian knew that Zhao Yichen also had military power in his hands. If this kind of bows and crossbows were manufactured in large quantities, the strength of the army would be enhanced.

She also knew that with Mu Xinyue around, it would be impossible for Zhiqing and Zhizhu to get their indentures back easily, so she negotiated the terms directly. It all depended on whether Zhao Yichen's army was more important or Mu Xinyue was more important!

Just then, Mu Xinyue walked in gracefully.

She first looked at Zhiqing and Zhizhu and said, "Zhiqing and Zhizhu, you're back so soon? I thought you would have to wait two days to deal with things!"

Without waiting for Zhiqing and Zhizhu to answer, she looked at Shen Qingqian again, as if she had just seen someone, and said with a smile: "So Miss Shen is here too? Why don't you sit down and are you still standing and talking?"

Shen Qingqian ignored her and looked at Zhao Yichen, pretending to be puzzled and asked, "Am I in the wrong place? Your Highness Prince Chen, is this your home or Miss Mu's? Why do I feel from the tone of her voice that Miss Mu is the owner of this place?"

Zhao Yichen's face froze, and he subconsciously wanted to explain, "Qingqian, no, Xinyue is just..."

"Your Highness, I was just joking. I hope you don't mind."

Shen Qingqian smiled and interrupted what Zhao Yichen was about to say, and then said: "Actually, no matter who is the owner of this place, it is none of my business as an outsider. I was too nosy. Let's talk about business! I wonder what the prince thinks?"

Every time Zhao Yichen heard Shen Qingqian's sarcastic words, he felt annoyed.

She was able to speak normally just now, and even when she was negotiating with him, she was talking seriously. But when Mu Xinyue appeared, Shen Qingqian's words changed.

Yes, that's right! Shen Qingqian would only be sharp-tongued and sarcastic whenever she saw Mu Xinyue. She was not like this at other times.

But why does Qing Qian hate Xin Yue so much? Is it because he is jealous? It shouldn't be like this! Qing Qian should know that he has no romantic feelings for Xin Yue.

What's more, they have already called off the engagement, so there is no need for Qingqian to target Xinyue!

Seeing that Zhao Yichen was frowning and not saying anything, Mu Xinyue thought that he was angry because of Shen Qingqian's words. She was delighted and definitely added fuel to the fire.

So she looked hurt by Shen Qingqian's words and said aggrievedly: "Brother Yichen, did I say something wrong? Did I make Miss Shen unhappy again?

I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask Miss Shen to sit down and talk, I really didn't think that much!"

After saying this, she bit her lip and lowered her head, like a young wife who had been angry.

Shen Qingqian was speechless when she saw her like that. She looked at Mu Xinyue with a half-smile and said, "Ms. Mu, didn't I tell you it was just a joke? Why do you seem to care so much about it?"

She looked at Mu Xinyue's pink floral dress and said, "Count the days. It hasn't been a hundred days since Miss Mu's father passed away, has it? Miss Mu is dressed like a butterfly. Has she completely forgotten her dead father since she came to the capital?"

Mu Xinyue's face turned pale. She really didn't expect Shen Qingqian to bring this up!

In fact, before today, she had always worn plain clothes. The reason why she was dressed like this today was because the Queen wanted to summon Zhao Yichen and specifically emphasized that she should be brought along.

She knew that although the Queen was not Zhao Yichen's biological mother, Zhao Yichen was also raised by the Queen. The Queen should have the final say on Zhao Yichen's marriage.

So she dressed up specially to leave a good impression on the queen.

Shen Qingqian and Zhao Yichen broke off their engagement. I heard that it was the Queen's decree. Now the Queen wants to summon her again. Maybe the Queen is not satisfied with Shen Qingqian and intends to make her the Princess Chen!

Mu Xinyue had this little thought in mind, thinking that just because she would only wear the clothes for one day, it didn't mean that she was unfilial.

I didn't expect Shen Qingqian to be so cunning that she could even notice such a problem!

"I, I am..."

Mu Xinyue was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say!

After Shen Qingqian mentioned this, Zhao Yichen also frowned and looked at Mu Xinyue.

"Xinyue, Qingqian is right. You are still in mourning, and it is inappropriate to wear such brightly colored clothes. Go change them quickly to avoid criticism."

"Okay, it was Xinyue who was inconsiderate. Thank you Miss Shen for reminding me."

Mu Xinyue appeared to be submissive on the surface and even said words of thanks, but in her heart she wished she could tear Shen Qingqian to pieces.

Shen Qingqian didn't care what she thought. She turned to Zhao Yichen and said, "Your Majesty, have you made up your mind? Can I take away Zhiqing and Zhizhu's indentures today?"

"can!"

Zhao Yichen only said two words to indicate his agreement. But he felt depressed in his heart, as he did not like the feeling of this kind of transaction between him and Shen Qingqian.

When Shen Qingqian and Zhao Yichen were negotiating the terms, Mu Xinyue had not arrived yet. When she heard that Zhao Yichen agreed to give the indentures of Zhiqing and Zhizhu to Shen Qingqian, she paused.

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Yichen and said, "Brother Yichen, didn't you say that we would wait a month before deciding whether Zhiqing and Zhizhu would stay or go? If we let Miss Shen take the indentures away now, what if they decide to stay after a month?"

"Don't worry, that won't be possible!"

Without waiting for Zhao Yichen to speak, Shen Qingqian answered for him.

Mu Xinyue clenched her hands into fists. She was still thinking about how to get the indentures of Zhiqing and Zhizhu! Unexpectedly, Shen Qingqian, the bitch, got there first! And Zhao Yichen agreed!

How could this be possible? Without a contract of sale, how could she control those two bitches, Zhiqing and Zhizhu?

However, no matter how unwilling she was, the housekeeper had already taken the indentures of Zhiqing and Zhizhu.
