In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Su Zhizhi's rest time was almost up. No matter how much she was reluctant to leave Su Peizhi, she had to get up and return to the palace. Before leaving, Su Zhizhi repeatedly instructed Xie Chengjin to take good care of Su Peizhi.

Su Zhizhi is not sure what Xu Wanqing is capable of doing, but her identity alone is enough to threaten Xu Wanqing. If Su Peizhi is added, Su Zhizhi doesn't know what her final fate will be. Therefore, Su Zhizhi's current situation is not optimistic, and she has to be cautious.

Fortunately, Su Peizhi was an obedient person. After Su Zhizhi left, Xie Chengjin sent three people to follow Su Peizhi. As Su Peizhi said himself, if there was nothing important, he would basically stay in his own yard and never run around.

After temporarily solving Su Peizhi's problem, Xie Chengjin felt a little relieved, but Xu Wanqing's matter could not be delayed any longer. It happened that the person he had sent out to investigate Xu Wanqing's matter came back, so Xie Chengjin took advantage of the time to listen to it.

In the study, Xie Chengjin sat there quietly listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Are you saying that Xu Wanqing has been going in and out of the casino during this period?" After hearing something, Xie Chengjin frowned tightly.

"My Lord, that's right. Furthermore, the princess has lost a lot of money in the casino. Previously, the master and the princess had an agreement to give her a portion of the gold shop's profits, but she's now squandered most of it. Now, the princess has decided to take action against the gold mine owned by the Queen, so she's come to my mistress."

"This Xu Wanqing, her appetite is really huge." Xie Chengjin's eyes were filled with coldness. "Well, since she wants to die so badly, I'll grant her wish."

Anyway, Xu Wanqing is no longer of any use to Xie Chengjin. If Xu Wanqing is sensible and doesn't ask for more, then there is nothing wrong with Xie Chengjin. But Xu Wanqing insists on seeking death, so it's no wonder that Xie Chengjin attacked her.

Things have come to this point, and Xie Chengjin doesn't want to continue trading with Xu Wanqing. The gold shop makes considerable profits every day, and Xie Chengjin has suffered a loss by giving so much to Xu Wanqing. Now Xu Wanqing is taking advantage of him and acting ungratefully, so Xie Chengjin simply wants to end the transaction early to stop the loss in time.

If you want to stop the transaction, you must first ask Xu Wanqing out.

Xie Chengjin checked the shops he owned and suddenly came up with a brilliant idea. Many of these shops had already gone bankrupt due to losses. Although they were still in Xie Chengjin's account, they were just empty shells after all. It would be a waste to eat them and a pity to throw them away. He might as well use this as an introduction to print out Xu Wanqing.

Thinking of this, Xie Chengjin asked someone to deliver a letter to Xu Wanqing, saying that he had something important to discuss with her, which involved money, and asked Xu Wanqing to pay more attention to it.

Xu Wanqing had already lost a lot of money because of gambling, and now the Princess's Mansion was also unable to make ends meet. She did not dare to tell the emperor about this. It just so happened that Xie Chengjin gave her the news, and Xu Wanqing naturally took the bait in a hurry without even thinking about it.

In order to keep it secret, Xie Chengjin invited Xu Wanqing to the villa under his name.

The agreed time had not yet arrived, but Xu Wanqing had already arrived at the villa early. The villa was outside the city. Unlike the place where Su Peizhi was previously settled, this villa was built on the mountain and was surrounded by dense trees. It looked very hidden. If you didn't know the location, no one would have thought that there was a courtyard here.

Xu Wanqing was very satisfied with this place. As soon as she entered, she saw Xie Chengjin sitting there.

Seeing Xu Wanqing walk in, Xie Chengjin stood up and saluted, "Your humble servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"No need to be so polite, please stand up. What is the matter that you called me here today?" Xu Wanqing waved her hand casually, signaling Xie Chengjin to stand up.

Xie Chengjin did not answer Xu Wanqing first, but handed a contract to Xu Wanqing, "Your Highness, please take a look at this."

"What is this?" Xu Wanqing frowned as she looked at the contract in her hand. She opened it and casually flipped through it for a few times. Then her gaze fixed on a certain line on it, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"As Your Highness can see, this is a contract regarding the transfer of ownership of some shops under my name, and the transferee is Your Highness." Xie Chengjin explained considerately.

"Tell me, what do you want?" Xu Wanqing was not really stupid. She put down what she was holding and looked straight at Xie Chengjin.

Xie Chengjin wasn't particularly surprised by Xu Wanqing's reaction. He simply said respectfully, "I'm grateful for your kindness, Your Highness. This is just a small token of my gratitude. Your Highness doesn't need to be so vigilant. As long as Your Highness signs on it, these shops will belong to you."

After saying that, Xie Chengjin made a gesture of invitation to Xu Wanqing.

Xu Wanqing was skeptical and took another quick look at the contract. Perhaps the terms were too tempting, so Xu Wanqing didn't pay attention to other details and just signed her name on it.

Xie Chengjin watched Xu Wanqing write his name stroke by stroke, and the joy in his heart grew.

Xu Wanqing handed the signed contract to Xie Chengjin and sneered, "Never mind. I understand you can't come up with anything fancy. Don't forget, Su Zhizhi is still in my hands. I think you're well aware of Su Zhizhi's identity. If you had any sense, you would know what to do. However, I'm very satisfied with your choice today."

While Xu Wanqing was threatening Xie Chengjin with Su Zhizhi, she was feeling complacent in her heart. She didn't know that what Xie Chengjin transferred to her were just empty shell shops. She was still immersed in the huge wealth she was about to get. She could already imagine that after getting the money from these shops, the loopholes in her princess mansion would be filled.

Xie Chengjin stood beside Xu Wanqing, lowering his eyebrows and looking amiable, and followed Xu Wanqing's words and said, "Your Highness is right. I will never forget your kindness and will definitely follow your lead."

"It's great that you have this intention. Since there is nothing else, I will go back first." Xu Wanqing was very satisfied with Xie Chengjin's attitude and stood up to leave.

Xie Chengjin followed behind Xu Wanqing until she got on the carriage.

The moment the carriage curtain fell, the smile on Xie Chengjin's face suddenly disappeared. He stared at the carriage with a gloomy face, and made a gesture with his hands behind his back. Several people hiding in the yard instantly followed the carriage.

Seeing this, Xie Chengjin turned around and went back into the house, sat on the main seat, and played with the contract that made Xu Wanqing so excited.
