Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 507: Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant

"Since I have chosen to cooperate with the Crown Prince and his wife, I completely trust them. I admit that I did not want to cooperate with them at the beginning. It was thanks to the Crown Prince and his wife that they let bygones be bygones." Nan Xuan stood up and bowed to Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an.

Xiao Yan'an helped Nan Xuan up, "Mr. Nan, my wife and I can completely understand your previous worries. You may even think that we just want to take away your Nan Jin Ji. After all, in your eyes, my identity is that of a royal family. In fact, I am the same as you. Apart from my identity, I am just an ordinary person who just wants to make money."

These words seemed to be from the heart to Nan Xuan. He had also heard a little about Xiao Yanan and Ji Chuhe. They seemed to be the high and mighty prince and his wife, but in fact they were held hostage by the emperor in the imperial capital. They were regarded as thorns in the eyes and flesh by the emperor.

He couldn't help but feel that his relationship with the Crown Prince and his wife had become much closer.

"Mr. Nan, honesty is the key to doing business, and I think the same applies to being a human being. Even if there are any problems in the future, Mr. Nan can communicate with us directly. There is one more thing I would like to ask Mr. Nan." Ji Chuhe continued.

"Madam, you don't have to be polite. If there is anything you need from me, please feel free to ask."

"To be honest, in addition to wanting to cooperate with Nan Jinji, I also want to cooperate with some other famous shops in the capital. However, they seem to have some misunderstandings about me. If we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, I hope Mr. Nan can say a few words for me to dispel their doubts."

"Nan must be duty-bound to do this!"

"Then I would like to thank Shopkeeper Nan first."

"Madam, you don't have to thank me. I won't bother you any more today. There are still some things waiting for me to arrange in the shop. I'll take my leave first."

"Take care, Mr. Nan."

After Nanxuan left, Xiao Yanan picked up the account book again and took a look at it.

"Madam, I really admire your business skills! Just by inviting a dim sum chef from the south, we got Nanxuan to cooperate with us obediently, and the profit is so considerable that we don't have to invest anything. We just need to sit back and count the money."

"In fact, doing business is not difficult at all. It just requires sharpening your brain to make profits, and using some tricks when necessary. Next, we will use the same method to get other shops to cooperate with us."

"The first step has been taken, and the second step will be easier."

"Yeah." Ji Chuhe nodded.

In fact, it is because no one is against them now that everything is going so smoothly.

Even if the Queen didn't want her to have a good life, her arms were not that long after all.

Besides, the Queen has to find a new princess consort for the Third Prince, and this candidate is not easy to choose.

"Prince! Madam! Something bad has happened!" Mianzhu walked in quickly.

"What's wrong?" Ji Chuhe asked immediately.

"Auntie Lin fainted!"

"Sir, we will return home immediately."

Xiao Yan'an and Ji Chuhe returned home. Lin Siyou had not woken up yet. The palace doctor had finished the diagnosis and was writing a prescription.

As soon as he saw Xiao Yanan and Ji Chuhe, he immediately stood up.

"No need to bow, just write a prescription and ask someone to get the medicine." Ji Chuhe responded immediately.

The court doctor hurriedly sat down and continued to finish writing the prescription.

After finishing writing the prescription, Ji Chuhe spoke again, "How is Aunt Lin?"

"Madam, Aunt Lin fainted due to physical weakness."

"What about the children? Are they affected?"

"The child is fine for now, but if this continues for a long time, there is a high possibility that the child will not be saved. Even if the child is barely saved, the birth will be extremely dangerous."

Ji Chuhe understood all of this.

However, the most important thing is how to make Lin Siyou listen.

"Prince, Prince." Lin Siyou's voice suddenly came from the inner room.

"Is the prince back?"

"Auntie Lin, don't get up yet. The prince and his wife have returned and are outside now." The maid responded immediately.

"Sir, please go in and see Aunt Lin first."

"Okay." Xiao Yan'an walked towards the inner room.

Lin Siyou had already sat up from the bed with difficulty, looking at Xiao Yanan pitifully.

She now looked so fragile that she would break at the slightest touch. A trace of heartache flashed through Xiao Yan'an's eyes. He walked forward and held Lin Siyou's hand.

"Don't get up. You are too weak. Just lie down and rest."

Hearing the prince's caring voice, Lin Siyou felt a hint of joy in her heart. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She always hoped to get the prince's attention and wanted him to stay with her more often.

She felt that she was becoming more and more greedy.

"My Lord, it's my fault for making you worry."

"Don't think too much. The court doctor has already prescribed some medicine. You will feel better after taking it."

"Well, Prince, are you busy with anything else?"

"Nothing."

"Then...can you stay and keep me company?"

"Okay." Xiao Yan'an agreed, sat on the edge of the bed, and tucked in the quilt for Lin Siyou.

Ji Chuhe walked out of the yard and Mianzhu moved a chair over.

"Go and call all the servants around Aunt Lin."

"Yes."

Soon, all the people who served Aunt Lin came to Ji Chuhe, their shoulders shaking with fear.

"Don't worry. I won't blame you for Aunt Lin's sudden fainting. I just want to know some of the circumstances. Just answer me truthfully."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

"Madam Lin, can you have a good meal these two days?"

"Yes, ma'am. We followed your instructions. In addition to the three meals a day, we prepared some more food in the morning, afternoon and evening and sent them to Aunt Lin's room. When we left, most of the food had been eaten." The person in charge of the small kitchen replied.

Ji Chuhe looked at another maid, "Are you the one who serves Aunt Lin personally?"

"Madam, I am only a second-class maid. The one who serves Madam Lin personally is a distant relative of hers, named Wanxia, ​​who just came into the mansion not long ago."

Ji Chuhe remembered.

Before, it was Ping'er who she left in Aunt Lin's yard.

Later, Qingluo was short of staff and took a fancy to Ping'er, so she transferred Ping'er away to train her and assigned two maids to Aunt Lin again.

Qingluo mentioned to her that one of the maids was newly bought and seemed to be the daughter of a distant relative of Aunt Lin, and was the same age as Aunt Lin.

No matter how worried Aunt Lin was, or how afraid she was that her figure would be out of shape due to pregnancy, she would not gamble with the safety of herself and her child, unless something went wrong with the people around Aunt Lin.

If Ping'er had stayed, this wouldn't have happened to Aunt Lin.

Fortunately, there is still a chance to make amends.

"Where is that sunset?" Ji Chuhe asked.

"Madam, it seems that she is still in the room guarding Aunt Lin."

Mianzhu immediately turned around and went into the house to call for help.
