After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Jingzhou within the territory of Qi State.

Ye Qi and Yu Shu waited in Jingzhou for two days before they finally got Ye Ba.

As soon as he arrived in Jingzhou, Yu Shu felt that the atmosphere in Jingzhou City was weird.

They passed through many cities along the way and saw many beggars, but Yu Shu always felt that there were especially many beggars in Jingzhou City.

It's not that Yu Shu is suspicious. Jingzhou City has frequent trade exchanges and almost every household in the city is a merchant. Jingzhou should be the richest town in the entire Qi State and there shouldn't be so many beggars.

So the two of them did not go directly to Yicui Pavilion, but instead secretly inquired about the situation in the city.

The conclusions reached are almost all that there is collusion between officials and businessmen, and the businessmen are either somewhere else or their target this time, Yicui Pavilion.

Those beggars' families were originally in the jewelry business, and everything was fine at first. However, ever since Yicui Pavilion got a new manager five years ago, other jewelry merchants in Jingzhou City went bankrupt one after another.

Yicui Pavilion is the only dominant one, dominating the jewelry business in the entire Jingzhou City.

The idea behind this is that no one would believe it even if it had nothing to do with Yicui Pavilion.

After much inquiry, Yu Shu and Ye Qi finally found Qin Lan, the owner and manager of Zhu Yu Pavilion, which was once on par with Yi Cui Pavilion.

Yu Shu and Ye Qi walked for a long time, passing through the alleys where beggars were lying all over the place, and finally found Qin Lan, who had become a beggar, at the innermost part.

Qin Lan was confused. He didn't know these two people and didn't know why they were looking for him, so he simply ignored them.

The two looked at each other, and Yu Shu asked directly, "My family has some jewelry business. Is Shopkeeper Qin interested in becoming our shopkeeper?"

After these words were spoken, the alley fell silent, and everyone looked at the two with complicated expressions.

Yu Shu didn't care at all and just stared at Qin Lan.

Qin Lan smiled and looked Yu Shu up and down. "Miss, you are so arrogant. You dare to do jewelry business here in Jingzhou City. Be careful not to become like us."

After saying that, he added in a persuasive manner, "This Jingzhoucheng is not a place for a girl to come. You'd better leave quickly."

"No," Yu Shu said calmly, "Since I dare to do it, I will definitely do it."

Yu Shu glanced at Qin Lan sarcastically, "Just because Shopkeeper Qin lost doesn't mean others will definitely lose. Shopkeeper Qin, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"It has nothing to do with that. Take your wife and leave quickly," he said to Ye Qi.

Ye Qi remained calm, as if he didn't hear anything, but if you looked closely you could see that the tips of his ears were completely red.

Yu Shu really didn't care. Since this man knew that she was a woman, it was normal for him to misunderstand the relationship between them, so she simply didn't explain.

On the contrary, Qin Lan kept asking them to leave, which aroused Yu Shu's suspicion.

"Why does Shopkeeper Qin keep asking us to leave?"

But Qin Lan was unwilling to say more and just told them to go. People around them also advised them to go.

Yu Shu is not a person who gives up easily. "Are you willing to make this bet with me, Manager Qin?"

Qin Lan was speechless. It was no use trying to persuade the damn ghost with good words. I told you to leave but you refused to leave. Why did you insist on making a bet?

Qin Lan looked at Yu Shu and then at Ye Qi next to him. These two people did not look like ordinary people.

"Miss, what do you want to do?" Qin Lan narrowed his eyes. He didn't know what the two people meant, but it was obvious that they came to Yicui Pavilion.

Qin Lan thought about it and now he really wanted to see what methods this little girl in front of him had to fight against Yicui Pavilion.

Qin Lan stood up and said, "Let's bet. Let's bet for a month whether your shop can be opened or not."

Yu Shu shook his head and raised his hand to show three fingers, "Seven days, my store will be open in seven days, and it will be much larger than Yicui Pavilion."

Qin Lan burst into laughter. Everyone can brag, but opening a shop is the right thing to do.

"If you win, I will agree to sign a contract to sell myself to you and become your shopkeeper. If you lose, you will leave Jingzhou and never come back." Qin Lan looked at Yu Shu, "How about it?"

"make a deal."

"A gentleman's words,"

"It's hard to chase a horse."

The two of them made an agreement, and on the way back, Ye Qi couldn't help but ask, "Are you really confident that you can take over Yicui Pavilion?"

Yu Shu raised his eyebrows, "I can't do it, but you can."

"What?" Looking at Yu Shu's smiling eyes, Ye Qi felt a chill down his spine. He always felt that Yu Shu had no good intentions.

"As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Let's catch the owner of Yicui Pavilion first," said Yu Shu.

"Is this your solution?" Ye Qi always felt it was unreliable.

"Just listen to me first," Yu Shu was interrupted and felt unhappy.

Ye Qi shook his head speechlessly. He wanted to see what tricks Yu Shu could come up with.

"It's not realistic to start a business war and directly compete with Yicui Pavilion for business. We don't have that much money to burn," Yu Shu analyzed.

"We have the deed of Yicui Pavilion in our hands. Yicui Pavilion belongs to us. We just need to take it back."

"Didn't they say that the changes started with the change of the shopkeeper? Now it's your job to find out the shopkeeper's background." Yu Shu patted Ye Qi's shoulder.

Yu Shu was still talking to himself and didn't notice that Ye Qi's body was stiff and his expression was gloomy.

"There is also collusion between officials and businessmen. It seems that I need to write a letter to Lord He."

The two of them returned to the inn unknowingly. Ye Qi quickly found an excuse to leave, leaving Yu Shu alone, confused. What happened? Why was he not sleeping in the middle of the night?

Yu Shu shrugged and said, "Never mind, I'm just sleeping by myself."

For convenience, Yu Shu wore men's clothes when she went out, so she looked a little unnatural when Qin Lan called her "girl" just now. But then she thought that Qin Lan had been in the business world for many years and had seen all kinds of people, so she didn't care.

Yu Shu turned around and went into the inn and had a good sleep. He had been traveling on the road these days and had not had a good sleep. When Yu Shu got up, it was almost noon.

Ye Qi just happened to knock on the door, Yu Shu answered, and Ye Qi came in and brought some food.

For convenience, the two of them stayed in the same room along the way. Yu Shu no longer cared about it, but Ye Qi was shy and always found excuses to hide away.

It's not like we sleep in the same bed, and we sleep with our clothes on.

Yu Shu was also puzzled. If that was the case, why not book two rooms?

She also asked Ye Qi, but Ye Qi hesitated and couldn't explain clearly, so Yu Shu gave up.

While eating, Yu Shu asked, "When will they come?"

"We should meet up at this time tomorrow." Ye Jiu said.

Yu Shu nodded and said, "Let's go to Yicui Pavilion later?" Ye Qi nodded.

After dinner, Yu Shu and Ye Qi went out for a stroll on the street and "accidentally" came to Yicui Pavilion.

"Gentlemen, what are you looking at?" The shop owner saw the two men and laughed so hard that his eyes were invisible.
