The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Will it have any impact on Shidinglou if An Jin's identity as a prostitute is spread?

Of course there are.

Although in the previous life, the wealthy businessman who redeemed An Jin attracted customers by pretending to be An Jin's brothel girl in the early days of the restaurant's opening.

However, this also laid the tone for the restaurant, and after the word of those cakes spread, many people loved them.

But most of the time they just tasted it themselves. For banquets in the mansions of nobles, they would avoid the restaurant where An Jin worked, as they were concerned about An Jin's identity.

Buying them for yourself to taste is one thing, but hosting a banquet with cakes from a restaurant run by prostitutes always feels unpresentable.

Therefore, although An Jin's restaurant had good business in his previous life and the prices of pastries were not expensive, it was still not as good as Shidinglou.

Even if An Jin had developed the restaurant so well in his previous life, most people could afford it because of the low prices. The people inside were a mixed bunch, and they knew An Jin's background, so their words and actions were inevitably frivolous.

She had been to the restaurant several times and witnessed those people harassing An Jin.

In this life, An Jin is already a free person, and Shidinglou no longer needs her past to attract attention, and a large proportion of Shidinglou's profits come from those wealthy and powerful families.

The news that An Jin had lived in a brothel would definitely affect the business of Shidinglou.

Coupled with the blessing of her newly-conferred status as a county lord, she would be even more eye-catching and might even affect other businesses of the Shen family.

Shen Qionghua chuckled, "It seems that the prince really enjoys threatening people. Does the prince think that such a small problem can affect me?"

Xie Qianan sneered, "Of course I don't think so. He's just a shopkeeper who once lived in a brothel. He's not the county lady, so naturally he can't have any influence on the county lady."

"The county lady has devoted all her energy to assisting Prince Rui, and even spent three million taels of silver to sever ties with me. What's a mere shopkeeper to her? Just resign."

"But I am also happy to give the county lady some trouble."

As Xie Qianan said this, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.

If Shen Qionghua really fired An Jin, or if An Jin knew that Shen Qionghua didn't care about her life or death, then he should still have a chance to control her and use her for his own purposes.

Xie Qianan thought so and turned to leave. Just as he was about to push the door open, Shen Qionghua spoke up, "If the prince insists on using such despicable means to threaten me, then I can only -"

Seeing Xie Qian'an stop and slowly turn around, Shen Qionghua smiled and said with a hint of amusement: "Then I can only go to the palace to see the emperor."

"Tell the emperor what the prince said today truthfully. I believe that the emperor will make a decision for my Shen family for the sake of the three million taels of silver."

"You dare!" Xie Qian'an's eyes were sinister, and he completely tore off his disguise.

"Whether I dare or not, doesn't Your Highness know?" Shen Qionghua said calmly, "Since Your Highness dares to do it on the first day, then don't blame me for doing it on the fifteenth."

"I would like to ask the Emperor, my Shen family has been dedicated to the country and its people. We feel sorry for the suffering victims and are willing to donate three million taels of silver to the imperial court for disaster relief. We are almost emptying our family's savings."

"Prince An, you are a prince, yet you turn around and want to destroy my Shen family's business and cut off my Shen family's financial resources. Is there any reason for this?"

Shen Qionghua's eyes were sharp and his words were resounding.

Not only does she have to protect the Shen family's business, she also has to protect An Jin. She must never let Xie Qian'an spread An Jin's past experience and endure other people's strange looks.

She knew that the emperor wanted to protect Xie Qian'an, but this was because the emperor was afraid of Prince Rui, not because the emperor really had no qualms about exchanging the disaster relief silver.

After that incident, Xie Qian'an was neglected by the emperor for a while. Even the eldest prince, who was ill, was sent by the emperor to inspect the newly repaired river channel, but Xie Qian'an had nothing to do for quite a while.

It can be seen that he is also dissatisfied with Xie Qian'an. As long as she does not break the balance between Xie Qian'an and Prince Rui, the emperor will not mind some minor quarrels for the sake of the three million taels of silver.

What's more, it wasn't long since she donated the silver, and the people still remembered why she was conferred the title of County Lady. If rumors spread at this time that the prince was making things difficult for her, where would the royal family's reputation be?

Do we want the people to think that the royal family is ungrateful?

Even if it was to silence the gossips of the people, the emperor would never let Xie Qian'an really do such a thing.

Ha! Xie Qianan thought he could threaten her?

She insisted on bringing up the emperor's issue, putting pressure on him so that he couldn't speak, and had to keep An Jin's secret.

The emperor's behavior last time made her extremely aggrieved, and this time she had to use his influence to put an end to Xie Qian'an's prestige.

"You! You!" Xie Qian'an was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing.

But he knew in his heart that if Shen Qionghua really went to plead with his father, his father would definitely make the decision for Shen Qionghua and ask him to keep his mouth shut.

He might even expose his ambitions to his father in advance, causing him to become suspicious.

Shen Qionghua raised her chin, squinted at Xie Qian'an, and said slowly, "Why, isn't Prince An going to make An Jin's experience public?"

"Go, go quickly. I won't stop you. I want to see whether your rumor is faster or I can go to the palace to meet the emperor and plead my case."

"Prince An, you must think carefully about whether you can bear the emperor's wrath after bringing disgrace upon the royal family."
