Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official

Song Wanning was not surprised to hear the news. She just looked at Zhuque beside her and whispered, "What's the problem?"

Zhuque was panting heavily, standing beside Song Wanning and explaining to her, "Now there is another rouge shop in the capital that is very similar to ours. Not only are the methods used the same, but the prices are lower than ours, and the colors are even more diverse than ours. Seeing that our shop's business has been snatched away by others, grandma has to think of a way."

"Not surprising." Song Wanning seemed to have expected this, and she simply explained to Zhuque, "This shop was originally taken over from Wen Tingbo, and it was Cui Xiaoxiao's way of making money. I later bought this shop, just to make a quick buck when times were good. Cui Xiaoxiao and Wen Tingbo both knew that I bought this shop, and it was obvious that they would turn the tables and take over the shop."

Zhuque was now anxious. He looked at Song Wanning and whispered, "Madam, the business in the shop is getting worse and worse. What should we do? The business of this shop used to be very good, and it made us a lot of profit."

Song Wanning has always been straightforward in doing things. She just chuckled and said, "Sell the last batch of goods at a lower price. The shop is a good place now, but now that it has been targeted, I am afraid it will be difficult to live a peaceful life in the future. It is better to sell the shop while the time is right and end it here."

Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning doing it with ease and said to her, "Madam, if you need me for anything, just tell me and I will definitely help you."

"It's okay. You don't need to take action on such a small matter now." Song Wanning's eyes were indifferent. "Cui Xiaoxiao always thought that it was me who did it, which caused the rouge shop to go bankrupt. I took over the shop when it was about to go bankrupt and revitalized it. Now she is probably more certain of this, so she regained her confidence and opened a similar shop to surpass me. Now is a good opportunity to make her unable to get up completely."

Song Wanning didn't care about it before. She let her go because she saw that she was already in bad luck. Who would have thought that she was still not honest? So don't blame her for being rude.

Song Wanning still remembers how Cui Xiaoxiao, in her previous life, teamed up with her stepson Wen Xu to force her into a desperate situation. She remembers the hatred of that family clearly.

Now Song Wanshi and Cui Xiaoxiao have teamed up to open this rouge shop in order to compete with Song Wanning for business.

Song Wanshi was not a person who was good at doing business. When she was in the general's mansion, she was young and had always been doted on by Nan Hongqiu. She had never cared about the housekeeper's accounts. Now she used her dowry money to open a shop just to make Song Wanning's rouge shop go bankrupt.

But now that Song Wanshi's face was disfigured, it was really difficult for her to take care of it, so all the matters were handed over to Cui Xiaoxiao. Seeing that there was so much money to circulate, Cui Xiaoxiao wanted to make Song Wanning bankrupt and let himself be the only one in power.

The housekeeper who was following Cui Xiaoxiao felt something was not right, so he asked, "Aunt, we are selling these rouges at a loss now. If we continue to sell them like this, all the money will be wasted."

Cui Xiaoxiao now looked confident and said with a smile, "Housekeeper, trust me. Since my grandmother has handed all this over to me, I can naturally do all the work well. Now this is just a tactic. Unless they are willing to lower the price, we can just wait for their shop to close down and then we can monopolize the market. Then we can sell it for whatever price we want."

The housekeeper was sweating, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only follow the instructions. Not long after, Cui Xiaoxiao heard from his subordinates that the rouge shop over there had reduced its prices.

Cui Xiaoxiao was now confident of victory, and finally revealed a smug smile, "They can't hold on so soon. In this case, if they lower the price, we will follow suit."

"Aunt, is this really necessary?" The maidservant beside her became a little uncertain. After all, they had spent a lot of money on this shop, but had not seen any money returned.

"Of course." Cui Xiaoxiao now felt that she had mastered the secrets of modern business warfare, and she no longer took Song Wanning seriously. "Let's wait and see when their shop can no longer operate. By then, our shop can get back on track."

The maidservant under her had no choice but to do as Cui Xiaoxiao told her.

Because Cui Xiaoxiao originally set the price of this rouge very low, there were many people who came to buy it, but now it is selling at a loss. The more it sells, the more it loses. In order to win over customers, Cui Xiaoxiao even launched a reservation system. If customers are willing to sign a contract in the store to buy their rouge, they will get a more favorable price.

After her visit, more customers came to buy their rouge than before.

Cui Xiaoxiao has received a large number of orders, and her money has been spent like water. Now, she is waiting to see how long Song Wanning's rouge shop can last.

A few days later, the housekeeper brought good news, "Aunt, the rouge shop has now closed down, and the storefront is now being sold. It's faster than expected."

"Really?" Cui Xiaoxiao thought that Song Wanning's shop could no longer survive, so she stood up with a smile and said, "If I had the intellectual property rights now, it would be impossible for Song Wanning to take over my shop and make money. After all, the technology is still in my hands. I want to see how she can make money in the future."

The housekeeper responded while asking in a low voice, "Aunt, we still have a lot of orders waiting to be done in this shop. I'm afraid that all the profits for next year will be lost in this."

"What are you afraid of? Just wait for a while, and the money earned from this shop will be more than you can spend." Cui Xiaoxiao is now confident again, and just looked at the housekeeper and said, "Just wait and see, housekeeper, I will open one shop after another and make this shop the most profitable shop in the whole capital."

The housekeeper stood aside and really couldn't agree with it. In order to prevent the matter from further escalating, the housekeeper quickly told Song Wanshi about the current expenditure of the shop.

Wen Tingbo's stepson Wen Xu had not been favored by Lady Wang since Lady Wang's second son Wen Tingxun also had a son. Lady Wang disliked Wen Xu because he did not like studying and his mind was not focused on the right things.

Seeing that she was unable to teach the child, Mrs. Wang thought of sending her stepson Wen Xu to serve Song Wanshi as Song Wanshi had just married into the Wen family.
