Sheng Guoer took the token and came to Concubine Li's palace, traveling smoothly because Concubine Li's token was a special pass given by the emperor. Who dared to stop her?
"See you, Your Majesty!" Sheng Guo'er said after greeting Concubine Li, "My Majesty, I have something to ask of you, and I hope your Majesty will grant me your permission."
"Oh? Do you have anything important to do with me?" Concubine Li asked.
Sheng Guoer took out a piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Concubine Li.
Looking at what Sheng Guoer handed over, Concubine Li frowned slightly.
"This..." Concubine Li said hesitantly, "Miss Sheng, I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"
"Why is it inappropriate?" Sheng Guo'er said, "Don't you want this dividend?"
Concubine Li sighed and said, "Guo'er, I actually want to help you, but this matter is really too difficult."
"whats the matter?"
"This..." Concubine Li hesitated. After all, this kind of matter was of great importance.
"Your Majesty, as long as you get rid of Zhao Qingya, the money will be yours!" Sheng Guoer seduced Concubine Li.
"This..." Concubine Li was still struggling.
"Empress, if you don't take action, don't blame me for telling the emperor about this!" Sheng Guoer threatened.
"Guo'er, please sit down for a while and wait for me to think about it, okay?"
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply." Sheng Guoer sat on a chair to the side, crossing her legs and drinking tea and snacks leisurely.
Not long after, Concubine Li came back, and it seemed that she had made a decision.
Sheng Guoer stood up, walked to Concubine Li and said, "Empress, it's time for you to explain this matter now, right?"
"Guo'er, you also know that Zhao Qingya is the daughter of the emperor's most favored minister, and she is also the queen's favorite royal embroiderer. If you really attack her, I'm afraid the emperor will be angry." Concubine Li said bitterly.
"Empress, of course I know these things." Sheng Guo'er said, "But this world is a world where the jungle prevails. Since Zhao Qingya blocks our way to make a fortune, we should eradicate her, so that we can achieve long-term peace and stability."
"Guo'er, this matter is extraordinary. If the emperor finds out, he will definitely blame me and you," said Concubine Li. "Furthermore, even if the emperor does not blame me, once he finds out, Your life won’t be easy either.”
"Your Majesty, now we have no choice but to shoot," Sheng Guo'er said with firm eyes, "I have already thought about it. If the Emperor wants to punish me, I will bear it. Your Majesty will never be implicated!"
Concubine Li took a deep breath, then exhaled it slowly, and said solemnly, "I know your thoughts, but this matter is unusual. I need to plan carefully to avoid being caught. "
"Well, now that the emperor has ordered me to deliver the dowry to Zhao Qingya tomorrow, I can find out Meng Xingzhou's whereabouts from this aspect." After a moment of silence, Concubine Li said, "Guo'er, I will fully cooperate with you. Plan, but I hope you can keep it a secret and never let out a single word. Otherwise..."
"Don't worry, Madam, I understand this," Sheng Guo'er said with a smile, "My Madam, you can handle it in your own way, but it's up to you to decide how to operate it."
"Guo'er, wait for my news!" Concubine Li said calmly, "Time is running out, so I won't let you have tea."
"Your Majesty, please leave!" Sheng Guoer responded and left the palace.
On the way back, Wang Huwei suddenly found Sheng Guoer.
"Boss Sheng, our young master wants to give you something, I hope you can accept it!"
After finishing speaking, Wang Huwei handed over a small package.
"Oh?" After Sheng Guoer took the baggage and opened it, she found that there was a thick stack of banknotes, totaling more than 100,000 taels of banknotes.
"What does this person do with so many banknotes?" Sheng Guoer asked puzzledly.
"Boss Sheng, you just need to know that my young master is a good person!" Wang Huwei said, "The banknote in this bag is safe for my young master to buy Zhao Qingya. You must not refuse."
"This..." Sheng Guoer said hesitantly, "Steward Wang, go back and tell your young master that I am a businessman, and I deserve this kind of thank you. Besides, Zhao Qingya has already told me about this matter. War has been declared, if I don't fight with her, how can my husband come back?"
Wang Huwei said: "Boss Sheng, please rest assured, our young master has said that he will definitely use Zhao Qingya's identity as fiancé to rescue Mr. Meng Xingzhou."
"Your young master is so powerful!" Sheng Guoer praised: "In this way, I can't live up to your young master's kindness. Okay, I will accept this banknote. Butler Wang, tell you this for me Young Master, I am waiting for good news from him."
Wang Huwei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then, I will go back and report to the Young Master."
Sheng Guoer wanted to earn more than 100,000 taels of silver from his family first. Anyway, the couple seemed to be of the same mind, and Mr. Qi didn't want to offend the Zhao family. If that's the case, then help him.
After returning to the mansion, Sheng Guoer immediately ordered his servants to pack all the jewelry that could be sold and take them with him in boxes, and then sent his servants to ride fast horses to the most prosperous areas of the capital.
Sheng Guoer bought Gujia Garden.
Sheng Guoer's actions attracted the attention of many people, especially the dignitaries in the capital.
The Gu Family Garden was the garden of the Gu family, the richest man in the past. Later, the dynasty changed and the Gu family declined. However, the Gu Family Garden is the most famous attraction of the Dasheng Dynasty.
They all speculated about what this newly mysterious wealthy Sheng family wanted to do? You actually want to sell all the valuable things in your home?
"Does Miss Sheng want to vacate the Sheng family?"
"Haha, the Sheng family will be ruined sooner or later!"
When Zhao Qingya heard the news, Monk Zhang Er was also at a loss as to what on earth this Sheng Guoer wanted to do? "
Sheng Guoer naturally had plans. He thought that since he was going to fight in the ring, he might as well use his spear to attack his shield. He would first gain a foothold in the capital, and then look for opportunities to defeat Zhao Qingya and rescue Meng Xingzhou.
Although Sheng Guoer was born as a businessman, she also knew that businessmen were not as good as powerful people, not to mention that she, a businessman, was still a woman?
"Miss," a maid ran in and said, "the housekeeper of Jingcheng Hefu is here with someone!"
"What?" Sheng Guoer asked in surprise, "What are they doing here?"
"This slave doesn't know. The butler asked this slave to inform the lady!"
Sheng Guoer frowned and said, "Go and call him to see me in the flower hall!"
"Miss, do you want to see him in person?" the maid asked cautiously.
"good!"
"Miss, I think it would be better for us not to go, in case he..."
"What are you afraid of?" Sheng Guoer snorted and said, "Am I still afraid that he is just a servant? Go quickly, don't delay this young lady's important event."
Sheng Guoer's boldness and domineering left the maid speechless, so she had to lower her head and go out.
Sheng Guoer sat in the flower hall and waited.
Not long after, a man who looked like a housekeeper entered the flower hall. When he saw Sheng Guoer, he bowed and saluted, saying, "Miss Sheng!"
"Who are you?" Sheng Guoer asked, staring at the housekeeper warily.
The butler smiled brightly and said, "My surname is Liu, and I am the butler of He's family, the richest man in the capital."
"Steward Liu," Sheng Guoer stood up and said with a smile, "Please sit down."
The butler obeyed and sat on the stool.
"I wonder why Butler Liu came to visit today?" Sheng Guoer asked.
Butler Liu said, "I am here to invite Miss Sheng to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing as a guest on the orders of the head of the family."
"Being a guest?" Sheng Guoer looked at Butler Liu in surprise and asked, "Why should I go to your He family to be a guest?"
"Because our head of the family wants to make friends with Miss Sheng, he specially sent me to invite her."
"So that's it," Sheng Guo'er said, "But why doesn't your family head talk to me directly?"
"The head of my family has said that it is not easy for Miss Sheng to become a wealthy businessman at such a young age, and she is also related to a noble concubine. This is really enviable." Butler Liu said with a smile.
Sheng Guoer sneered and said, "What else did your head say?"
Butler Liu shook his head.
"Then why should I agree?" Sheng Guoer looked at Butler Liu with a smile.
"Miss Sheng," Butler Liu sighed and said, "I would like to advise Miss Sheng to think carefully. My master said that this banquet is Miss Sheng's only chance."
"Does it mean what your master said?" Sheng Guoer asked with a smile.
"My master also said," Butler Liu raised his finger and pointed to the roof, "If Miss Sheng doesn't want to lose the opportunity, it would be best to go to Zhuangzi outside the capital, and maybe she can meet some noble people."
Sheng Guoer squinted and looked at the roof.
Butler Liu said, "My master also said that these noble people can help Miss Sheng."
"So, this noble man is here for me?"
"I don't dare to discuss government affairs unreasonably," Butler Liu waved his hand and said, "Miss Sheng, please forgive me for not being able to speak clearly."
Sheng Guoer smiled and asked, "Since the head of your family said so, wouldn't it be too shameful for me not to go to the appointment?"
Butler Liu said, "It is my master's honor for Miss Sheng to attend the banquet hosted by my master."
"Go back and tell your family head that I will attend the appointment on time tomorrow."
"Thank you, Miss Sheng, for the compliment!"
"Okay, please step back."
After Butler Liu left, Sheng Guoer pondered for a long time and decided to do as the housekeeper said and first explore the ways of these nobles in the capital.
The next day, the housekeeper of the He family came to the Sheng family again, saying that he was sending a message to Sheng Guoer, inviting Sheng Guoer to attend the banquet hosted by the head of the He family.
"Oh?" Sheng Guoer took the post handed to her by the housekeeper, opened it, and with a smile on her lips, handed the post back to the housekeeper and said, "Of course I will attend the banquet with the family."
"Thank you, Miss Sheng. I'll take my leave."
"Let's go slowly without seeing him off," Sheng Guoer watched the butler leave.
"Sister," Xiao Tao approached Sheng Guo'er and whispered, "Is what Butler Liu said true?"
"I don't know," Sheng Guo'er said, "I'll have to take a look before I know."
Xiaotao whispered, "Sister, are you really going to the banquet?"
"I want to see who the master of the He family is. If he has great hands and eyes, he can really follow my plan of pulling the flag and pulling the skin of the tiger, and befriends a powerful man to help me rescue the boat, and eliminate him without bloodshed. Drop Zhao Qingya?"
