The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Chapter 25: You can’t do business with a kind heart

Hu Luanfei tried to remain calm, his face cold.

Jiao Lan looked around and saw the nanny jogging in the distance. He whispered "hush" and advised: "The Wang family is not easy to mess with in Beiqiu Country. Be careful with your words in the future."

"Sister Jiao Lan, I will no longer be doing the Wang family's business."

"This is very difficult, because the mistress already knows that you have something she wants, and she won't give up until she gets it."

"It's a transaction between us, how can it be forced?"

"Alas... You can't mess with anyone but the Wang family."

In the northwest city of Beiqiu Kingdom, no one can compare to the Wang family in terms of power and status. Once they decide on something they want, they will get it at all costs.

The reason why I didn't force the ewe a few days ago was that in the fiefdom of the capital, I took into account the friendly exchanges between the two countries and had to give face to both the monk and the Buddha, so I didn't dare to force a sale blatantly.

Now that Hu Luanfei has stepped into the territory of Beiqiu Kingdom, it is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

The Wang family's team came in a mighty procession and finally stopped in the street.

"Get down the sedan." Suddenly, an emotionless voice sounded, and the sedan bearers quickly lowered the sedan.

The person who came out of the sedan chair was a woman dressed in splendid clothes, who looked about 40 years old. She held the hand of the nanny and walked towards them with a lotus step, with an indescribable cruelty in her black eyes.

The people on the street cautiously stepped aside, looking so cautious as if they were afraid that they would be killed without a burial place if they offended her.

When she came over, Jiao Lan pulled Hu Luanfei to stand still, lowered her head respectfully, and said, "Madam, this girl has what you want."

"Well, how much are you willing to sell it for?"

Jiao Lan glanced at Hu Luanfei, whose face was dirty, and gritted her teeth without saying a word.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone held their breath, staring at the pretty beauty who had just cried.

"I won't sell it to you." Hu Luanfei said firmly.

"Why?"

"I have found a buyer. He is a doctor and I think he needs more medicine."

Everyone was filled with astonishment, and the atmosphere became depressing for a moment.

Over the years, no one dared to reject the Wang family's business so brazenly and boldly. Hu Luanfei was the first.

Doesn't she want to live anymore? Everyone was complaining in their hearts.

The mistress of the Wang family tilted her head, and the three maids beside her came forward with a tray. The red cloth covering it was torn open, revealing white silver that sparkled in the sun.

So dazzling!

This must be at least three hundred taels!

"Is that enough?" she asked coldly.

Hu Luanfei shook his head, "No matter how much, I won't sell it to you."

After packing up the bamboo basket, Hu Luanfei broke away from Jiao Lan and turned to face the handsome man. "Five hundred taels, everything in this bamboo basket is yours."

The man looked into the bamboo basket, as if he was shocked by what was inside, and opened his eyes slightly, "Are you sure?"

"Definitely and definitely."

Xuanyuan Yuqing couldn't believe that a little village girl could find several wild ginsengs that were over a hundred years old.

He thought that if he hesitated, it would be a disservice to this perfect treasure.

"Okay, deal..."

"Wait!" The voice of the Wang family's mistress sounded, interrupting the transaction between the two, "One thousand taels!"

Everyone put their hands up to support their jaws, holding their chins that were about to drop in shock.

One thousand taels is not a small sum of money. They couldn't guess what was in the bamboo basket that made the two of them scramble for it.

Wild ginseng is rare, but there is no shortage of it. What people are lacking is medicinal herbs that are more than a hundred years old.

With the weak body of Master Wang, the century-old ginseng can just replenish his energy.

The mistress is a woman who loves her husband dearly, so naturally she would not let go of this treasure.

Hu Luanfei clenched her fists. One thousand taels was indeed tempting, but the character of the Wang family was intimidating. She would not sell it no matter what!

"Madam, if you want it, then go find this doctor. I have already agreed to sell it to him."

"If you don't get the money, how can you say the deal is successful?"

The older, the wiser. When she came over, she was very imposing.

Hu Luanfei couldn't help but take two steps back, sprained his ankle and lost his balance, and subconsciously looked back for a fulcrum to support his body.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, someone held it firmly.

"Be careful." Xuanyuan Yuqing let go of her naturally.

After the short-distance contact, she felt a different aura from Qi Siliao, her face flushed, and she quickly stood firm.

"This is five hundred taels of silver, which I happen to have with me."

"Thank you, thank you."

The money arrived just in time. After Hu Luanfei got it, he quickly turned around and rushed into the crowd, not even taking the bamboo basket.

"Hey, big sister, wait for me!" Jiao Lan ran away.

The farce ended sadly with their departure.

Xuanyuan Yuqing held up the bamboo basket and raised the corner of his mouth proudly, "Madam Wang, three hundred-year-old ginsengs for five thousand taels, do you want to buy them?"

"Humph! Xuanyuan family kid, don't be so proud."

The Wang family came in a mighty procession, and left in a mighty procession. The streets returned to their former bustle. However, some people and some things should not be provoked. Once provoked, there will be more trouble in the future.

Hu Luanfei ran out of the market in one breath and leaned against the city gate, panting.

The confrontation just now was so terrible. If it weren’t for that doctor, she would probably be forced to sell the wild ginseng to the Wang family.

"Big sister, big sister, wait for me!"

Jiao Lan also followed behind, leaning against the city gate, gasping for breath, "You have really hurt me, girl."

"Sister Jiao Lan, do you know that the Wang family has always been like this?"

She did not deny it. "It's just a matter of buying and selling. You don't care what others do with the things you sell, as long as you get paid."

“Sister, even if it’s a beast, it will feel pain.”

"Sister, you can't do business if you are too kind. Businessmen should be ruthless. As long as you get the money, what's the harm in turning a blind eye?"

"I can't do it, sorry, leave me alone."

She grew up in a civilized society and had never seen anyone cruelly killing small animals. No one would be able to bear to see such a cooking method.

Jiao Lan wanted to say something, but when he saw her tired and sad face, he swallowed the words back into his stomach.

"Sister Jiao Lan, please go back first. I'll be alone for a while."

"Okay. Take care of yourself. If you have other business in the future, let me know and I will..."

"Let me think about it..."

She squatted down with her back against the city wall and buried her head in her knees.

Jiao Lan sighed, "Alright, it was my greed that ruined you. I'm sorry, you better take care of yourself."

"Ah."

He sat alone under the city wall, covering his face and sobbing. Although he tried to lower his voice, people still heard him.

"Girl, I have brought your bamboo basket."

The person who spoke was Xuanyuan Yuqing, who had just purchased the century-old ginseng.

Hu Luanfei didn't say anything, nor did he look up. He just sniffed and regretted his behavior.

If it weren't for her, those wild goats might have died more easily...
