Lock and secure

The next day, Luo Yao woke up early in the morning. After listening to what Ah Shi said, he seemed to have reached the peak of his life. He sat on the bed and smiled foolishly.

A batch of single-item cosmetics that were hastily produced a few days ago were sold out immediately. They made a net profit of more than 32,000 taels!

Ah Shi stood aside and watched his eldest young master laughing like a lunatic, at a loss as to what to do.

After Luo Yao laughed enough, he finally picked up the letter from Qingcheng Pavilion beside the bed.

The letter from Qingcheng Pavilion detailed the reason for the five-day delay, offering no hidden agenda and analyzing their numerous considerations. Their words conveyed their strong desire to secure Luo Yao's order and collaborate with him, but they had their own concerns. While it might have seemed like a playful pity for Luo Yao, the letter was written with genuine sincerity, offering an apology and a full eight thousand taels of silver in cash as compensation.

Luo Yao made money, was in a good mood, and forgave them.

What happened in the afternoon ruined his good mood for the whole day.

In the afternoon, the head of the He family of Zhejiang Province in the capital personally delivered three boxes of gold to the Yong'an Palace.

Who are you looking for? Princess Yong'an Luo Yao!

When Luo Yao dragged Luo Xinchen to the front hall with a confused look on his face, he saw Wang Guangcheng with a look of disgust on his face, and Bei Zhenting sitting at the top.

What are you looking for?

I haven't messed with Bei Zhenting recently, have I?

Luo Yao carefully observed Bei Zhenting's expression.

He Zejun, the eldest son of the He family in Zhejiang Province, met Luo Yao for the first time. He stood up and smiled gently: "Greetings, Princess. I am He Zejun of the He family in Zhejiang Province."

Luo Yao was not used to being polite with others, and He Zejun was too enthusiastic and took the initiative to get so close to him, which made Luo Yao feel a little embarrassed.

"Come here." Bei Zhenting said lightly.

Luo Yao walked over obediently. He didn't dare sit down even though Bei Zhenting didn't let him! He just stood more than three meters away from Bei Zhenting.

Bei Zhenting patted the table and motioned Luo Yao to sit next to him, but Luo Yao thought Bei Zhenting asked him to find a seat elsewhere, so Luo Yao walked to the side and sat down.

He Zejun watched the interaction between the prince and princess and felt that there was something strange about the two of them.

He was busy with business and couldn't stay for long. If Luo Yao hadn't been a major partner of his and the Princess of Yong'an, he wouldn't have personally delivered the money. So He Zejun directly stated his purpose: "Princess, I came here today to give you money."

What? Send me money?

Luo Yao was confused. He had only been involved in the timber business and rouge and powder business, and did not know He Zejun.

Seeing Luo Yao's confusion, He Zejun explained that they had signed a contract with the Yong'an Palace to exclusively sell the detailed explanation of sketching techniques, with a 50-50 profit split, and today they came to give the money to the Yong'an Palace.

Luo Yao looked at Bei Zhenting in confusion. Bei Zhenting was a real jerk. He used him to sign a contract with someone else behind his back, and he was also very stingy. He did nothing but take the other person's 5% profit...

After seeing He Zejun off, Luo Yao opened the boxes and admired the gold. The gold was glittering. Even though Luo Yao was considered a small rich man in the 21st century, the three boxes of gold still dazzled his eyes.

Luo Yao didn't intend to pursue the matter of Bei Zhenting secretly using him to sign a contract with someone else! So much gold, how lovely it looked! Luo Yao wanted to move the box back to the West Courtyard. He lifted it hard, but found that the box was very heavy and he couldn't lift it at all.

Bei Zhenting came up at this time and took his hand away from the box. "Princess, this business is done by me. Shouldn't I get a share of the profits?"

Luo Yao hid the hand touched by Bei Zhenting in his sleeve. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes in anger: "How dare you say that? Although... although that's not mine... but you are infringing on my copyright. You are infringing on my intellectual property rights..."

Luo Yao blabbered on and on about a bunch of crimes to Bei Zhenting, but Bei Zhenting hadn't heard a thing and had no idea what he was talking about. He interrupted Luo Yao and handed him a gold ingot, "It's not like I don't want to pay you. Here, this is yours. Come on, move these three boxes of gold to the warehouse!"

"Yes!" Several guards came forward and moved the three boxes away from Luo Yao.

Bei Zhenting still gave him the gold ingot in the same posture, smiling. Seeing that Luo Yao didn't take it for a long time, he handed it to Luo Xinchen.

Luo Xinchen stretched out his little hand to take it and held it in his arms, staring at Bei Zhenting with a defensive look on his face.

Bei Zhenting left happily.

Why ask him to come if you don't want to give him money?

Wouldn't it be better to just quietly keep all the money for yourself?

Teasing him like a dog? Isn't that fun?!

Why do you always have to act so high and mighty, bullying others and building your own happiness on the pain of others? Is it fun to watch others suffer?!

Luo Yao was so upset that he just stood there motionless.

Wang Guangcheng sneered and walked away from Luo Yao. He still felt that Luo Yao might really be a monster, so he deliberately kept a distance from Luo Yao when he walked in front of him.

"elder brother?"

Luo Xinchen looked at his brother who was motionless and felt his brother's hand trembling, and he was very worried.

Luo Yao bent down, took out the gold ingot from Luo Xinchen's arms, and smashed it towards Bei Zhenting's throne.

The throne was very solid and only made a small dent. Luo Yao felt even more aggrieved, his nose felt sore, and his throat was tight. He felt so aggrieved that he felt his heart had shrunk into a small ball!

Luo Xinchen had already been frightened by his brother and stood there in a daze. Looking at his brother's scary appearance, he bit his lips and tried not to cry. Finally, he sobbed softly in fear, anxiety and worry.

Luo Yao quickly wiped his eyes, picked up Luo Xinchen, and without comforting him, he just held the child in his arms and left without saying a word.
