Chapter 475: Neither of them wants to be my concubine, how to decide
After Rong Qingqing left, only the Third Prince and Qin Yumo were left in the private room. Not far away outside, there were some people peeking in to watch the fun.
After being splashed with two cups of tea, Qin Yumo's clothes were all wet. She hugged her shoulders tightly, looking pitiful, weak and helpless.
"Third Prince, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." She slowly raised her head and looked at the Third Prince with red eyes.
"This matter is not your fault. It was Rong Qingqing who was arrogant and unreasonable. There is nothing wrong between us. You don't need to explain anything to her."
"Yes, I understand." Qin Yumo responded obediently.
"Your clothes are all wet. Going out like this will cause gossip. I'll have someone buy you a set of clothes. You can go back after you change."
"Thank you, Third Prince, for being so thoughtful." Qin Yumo seemed to be hesitant to speak, but in the end she couldn't help but say, "I really envy Miss Rong for being able to marry the Third Prince."
The third prince felt a slight palpitation in his heart.
As soon as I thought of my mother's words, I immediately suppressed the slight trembling.
If Qin Yumo was a lady from another family, even if she was born of a legitimate wife, he could still marry her into the family and make her a concubine after he was crowned the crown prince.
But, she happened to be the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Qin.
If he took Qin Yumo as his concubine, Prime Minister Qin would probably think that he was deliberately humiliating the Qin family.
Qin Yumo could marry a boy from a poor family as her principal wife, but she would never marry him as a concubine.
"I have something else to do, so I'll go ahead. Please wait here for a while, and I'll bring it to you soon."
"Yes." Qin Yumo nodded.
The third prince turned and left, and not long after, the clothes were delivered.
The teahouse immediately arranged a room for her to change clothes.
When Qin Yumo changed her clothes and walked out, she heard people in the teahouse talking about what happened between her and Rong Qingqing.
"What is going on? Didn't the emperor grant a marriage between the third prince and the daughter of the Duke of Rong? Why is the daughter of Prime Minister Qin's mansion involved now?"
"I can't explain it clearly. Why does the Third Prince treat the young lady of Prime Minister Qin's residence better than his own fiancée?"
"After so many years, Duke Rong's Mansion will not experience another broken engagement, right?"
"It's hard to say! However, if the second son Luo hadn't been obsessed with giving Jiang the position of principal wife, perhaps after marrying the daughter of the Duke of Rong, he could have taken Jiang as a concubine and enjoyed the happiness of having two wives."
"Although both are legitimate daughters of the Duke of Rong's mansion, the two marriages are completely different. How can Jiang's origin be compared with the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Qin's mansion! No matter how good the daughter of Prime Minister Qin's mansion is, it is impossible for her to become someone's concubine."
"That's true!"
"It is impossible for a young lady from the Duke of Rong's Mansion to become someone's concubine."
"So, this marriage is likely to change."
Qin Yumo walked around the crowd and left quietly.
Still, someone noticed her.
"Isn't that Miss Qin? She really changed her clothes."
"I heard with my own ears that the Third Prince ordered his servants to buy it for Miss Qin."
"I think it's not unfair for her to be splashed with water by Miss Rong. It must be because she coveted the Third Prince that Miss Rong was angry."
Qin Yumo was eager for these people to spread what happened today.
Ji Chuhe was sitting in the carriage across the street and watched Qin Yumo leave with his own eyes.
"Miss, Qin Yumo really doesn't worry about her reputation at all! What she did is equivalent to trampling on her own face!" Mianzhu didn't understand how a legitimate daughter of a prime minister's family could do such a thing.
Liao Yunfei was so self-degrading, but she still felt that it was because of her background.
The young lady of Prime Minister Qin’s mansion shouldn’t be like that!
"She is trampling on her own reputation, as well as the reputation of Prime Minister Qin's Mansion, the reputation of Duke Rong's Mansion, the reputation of the Queen, and the Emperor. She is a very clear-headed person. She knows what she wants and is willing to sacrifice it."
"Then she is really suitable to marry the Third Prince, so let's let our Miss Qingqing go."
"Let's go to the shop and see how the prince and shopkeeper Xue are doing with their inventory."
The carriage slowly moved towards the shop.
After Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an discussed collecting goods from all over, the items in the shop were not so scarce, and the variety was relatively richer.
In addition, they strictly control the quality of the goods and will tidy up the items they receive. Basically, there are always a constant stream of customers every day.
In addition, Ji Chuhe asked Xiao Yan'an to prepare many picture albums and send them to various prefectures, which also attracted a large number of customers, and these customers were no longer ordinary people.
However, the goods in her shop now cannot fully meet the needs of these wealthy families and noble families.
She still has to find a way to improve this shortcoming.
As soon as Ji Chuhe arrived at the shop, Xiao Yan'an immediately gave up his seat.
"Ma'am, please take a seat. The goods have been counted. After the shop closes today, I will order someone to put all the goods up."
"Okay." Ji Chuhe nodded.
Now as long as Xiao Yan'an is in the shop, she doesn't have to worry about anything anymore.
"Ma'am, how is the situation over there?"
"I originally wanted to spend some money to stir up public opinion, but now it seems that I can save this money."
"You mean, Qin Yumo will stir up public opinion herself? Does she have the ability to do so?"
"Your Highness, have you forgotten? She just won a hundred taels of silver from us that day."
"Madam, did you expect her to do this? That's why you gave her the 100 taels of silver. It's really worth it!"
"How can I predict it so clearly? I'm not sure what Qin Yumo will do after getting the money, but one thing is certain, without money, nothing can be done. Also, it doesn't mean that we will do nothing. It depends on how much money Qin Yumo is willing to spend to stir up public opinion. If it's not enough, we have to work harder."
"Yeah." Xiao Yan'an nodded in agreement.
"Manager Xue, I would like to ask you to stay in the imperial capital this time. I have an important task to entrust to you." Ji Chuhe changed the subject. She had more important things to do.
"Okay, I'll follow Madam's instructions."
"Manager Xue, you travel around for business, and you should have left your footprints in all the counties of Daxia. I would like to ask you to record the things used by the local wealthy people in various places, or some unique ones. We are going to import a batch of goods to supply the nobles in the imperial capital."
"Okay, I'll lay it out tonight."
"Thank you, Manager Xue."
"You're welcome, madam."
Ji Chuhe stood up and said, "Prince, are you done with your work? If you are, let's go back home together."
