C92 (2/2)

Just as it was about to close, Qiu Hong came upstairs and saw her sitting motionlessly at her spot. She asked worriedly, ”Boss, did you run into any trouble?”

Su Zhi shivered all of a sudden, then shook her head. ”I'm fine. You guys can go back now.”

Qiu Hong nodded and headed downstairs. Su Zhi thought about it for a while, then called out to her, ”Go and call Manager Li over. I have something to discuss with him.”

”Sigh, alright.”

Li Yi was in the midst of accounting for the entire day's worth of accounts when he glanced at the few hundred silver that was given to Hundred Flavors Clear Joyous. The pain in his heart was extremely intense. He secretly cursed Yu Zhanhong for being a man who ate people without spitting out their bones. He even asked for compensation for the toppled potted plants. It could be considered a blessing in disguise that this man didn't do such things.

He closed the account book angrily and stormed up the stairs, getting straight to the point, ”I don't agree to pay that much silver to that bastard from the Yu family!”

Su Zhi was very calm when she saw the fire in his eyes, and she gestured for him to sit down.

”I already know who is plotting against us.”

Li Yi temporarily stopped his anger and asked, ”Who is it?”

Su Zhi sighed and unwillingly said, ”It's Princess Anyang.”

”Who did you say?”

Not only did Li Yi not dare to believe it, but even Su Zhi herself was very suspicious.

Princess Anyang was a relative of the royal family, so there was no need to use such despicable methods to make life difficult for them. Furthermore, there was no reason for her to do so.

However, Su Zhi understood that although An Yang and her were two completely different people, due to Xiao Gan, it was expected that she would bear a grudge.

Li Yi was afraid that he'd heard wrongly, so he asked in a half-believing and half-doubting manner, ”Why would a dignified princess go against us commoners?”

Su Zhi lowered her head, sighing helplessly, ”She came for me.”

If someone else were to resort to such underhanded methods, it could only mean that there was a huge amount of envy in the entire business. But if it was Princess Anyang, other than Xiao Gan, there was no other reason.

Thus, this time, it was completely her fault for offending someone.

”In the future, make everyone pay attention to the fact that you have to be more careful in everything you do. Don't let anyone catch you red-handed.”

If he was truly unbalanced and wanted to add to her trouble, then he would have to stop after teaching her a lesson.

Su Zhi felt a little helpless. Anyang was untouchable, and if it was an official, she would immediately pay some silver to quell the disaster. But since the other party was a princess, she had no other choice but to endure it for the time being.

Although Li Yi was a good person, he wasn't stupid. He contacted the person that Little Dou Bao had found when Su Zhi had gone missing, then recalled some of the Beijing gossip and could imagine the reason behind An Yang's actions.

”Then, if it's like this, then I'm afraid that Hua Manlou's business won't go smoothly.”

Su Zhi frowned and twisted the silk in her hand into a fried dough twist.

She had met An Yang once, and she still vividly remembered that person's fierce personality. If it was really like Li Yi was worried about, then she wouldn't let go of him.

”I can only hope that Princess is only temporarily mischievous and won't offend you afterwards.”

Both of them sighed. There was a long silence.

Princess Anyang was the current empress dowager's favorite granddaughter, especially after the Great Wei's princesses had been married off and Yuchang had died tragically. An Yang's position was skyrocketing. Even Empress Zhao, who held the power of the harem, didn't dare to slight him. In this way, the pampered and proud personality was even more unrestrained. Wasn't it easy to teach this unsightly commoner a lesson?

Su Zhi frowned, but Li Yi instead comforted her, ”Don't think too much about it. If the other side doesn't directly fall out with us, perhaps once they have a bit of fun will be over.”

This was the best plan. If An Yang refused to budge and refused to budge, they had no other choice. Even if it was the government, they might not pay attention to this.

”Sigh, I hope that's the case. After today, I'll be able to take it one step at a time.”
