Chapter 363 Chunyu is back

Xiaojing and Chunfeng were at ease, drinking tea leisurely and waiting to see the show. Yaoyao was usually easy to talk to, but if anyone provoked her, she would not be so easy to deal with.

The Marquis simply ignored it and let Ye Jiayao do her best to see how much money she could squeeze out of her.

When Zuo Qingyun saw their situation, his head started pounding and he had a strong foreboding premonition.

"Second Young Madam, in the final analysis, you and I are both victims," ​​Zuo Qingyun said.

Ye Jinxuan sneered in her heart, why pretend? Everyone knows the truth, there is only a thin layer of window paper that has not been broken.

"That's not what I meant. The mastermind was your men, and the secret room was in your house. But you dragged me into this because of your personal grudges, and made the Marquis of Jing'an's house a joke. Whether you are a victim or not is not something you should discuss with me."

"You should know that if we don't give up, your Datonghui will not get any good. Not everyone will believe the confession of Manager Bai, especially the common people. When they saw you were arrested and people and weapons were found in the mansion, they thought you were going to rebel. What is rebellion? It is a capital crime. Everyone thinks that Datonghui is going to go bankrupt. At this moment, many people have gathered in front of your Datonghui, demanding their money back. This is in Jinling. I believe the news will spread quickly and will affect all branches of Datonghui. What kind of losses will be caused by then? Manager Zuo is a wise man and his calculations are better than mine. Can you calculate it?"

Zuo Qingyun couldn't remain calm anymore. He knew the consequences better than anyone else, so he offered a high compensation of one million without hesitation. But Ye Jinxuan knew it as well and used it to threaten him. It seemed that if he couldn't satisfy her today, he would not be able to leave this door.

It's not that he really can't get out. He can leave anytime he wants. He believes that no one here can stop him. Even if he is locked up in the Sky Prison, the Jiangzuo League has a way to deal with it. The problem is that he must get out openly, otherwise, he will become a fugitive. The No. 1 Silver Shop in Huaisong that he has built up with many years of painstaking efforts will collapse, and he really can't afford the loss.

It won't take much longer. If they detain him for another three days, things will get out of control.

Zuo Qingyun weighed the pros and cons and decided to take a step back.

"What the Second Young Madam said is true. Then...how about I compensate the Second Young Madam with another one million taels of silver?"

When these words were spoken, the hearts of the Marquis and others trembled violently.

Wow, Ye Jinxuan squeezed out another one million taels with just a few words and became rich.

Ye Jiayao was indifferent and said calmly, "Two million."

Zuo Qingyun felt a pang of pain. It was true that he was rich, but his money was not picked up for nothing. He took out three million taels at once. He tried his best to hide his anger. Looking at Ye Jinxuan again, he didn't think this woman was cute at all. If he didn't have the feeling of a hero cherishing a hero, he would not have taken on this matter. He didn't care how Lin Wanyin dealt with her. Damn it, good deeds don't get good rewards.

"Okay, two million is two million." Zuo Qingyun gritted his teeth.

Ye Jiayao said in a contemptuous tone: "What I said is, compensate me two million, and compensate Jing'an Marquis Mansion two million."

Xiao Jing started coughing violently and choked on the tea.

The Marquis' heartbeat also quickened, and he looked at his daughter-in-law with a look of great admiration. It was such a pleasure. Even Prince Yu felt the pain of squeezing out this money.

Zuo Qingyun's face was extremely dark, so gloomy that ink seemed to be dripping out, and he could hardly feel his heartbeat.

Four million taels, almost the total revenue of all branches of Datonghui. If this amount is taken out, even Prince Yu’s plan will be affected.

"Shopkeeper Zuo, a real man should take responsibility for what he does. Be straightforward. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. We have plenty of time, but you don't have time to waste." Ye Jiayao said.

Zuo Qingyun gritted his teeth secretly. He had to bow his head under someone's eaves. He made up his mind and said, "Four million is fine, but I hope the Marquis' Mansion can clarify that this matter has nothing to do with me."

Ye Jiayao smiled: "Since Shopkeeper Zuo is so straightforward, we won't be clingy. There must be an explanation for the matter."

"Father, what do you think?" Ye Jiayao asked the Marquis for his opinion.

The Marquis pretended to be dignified and said thoughtfully: "Of course there must be an explanation. As for how to say it and how to benefit everyone, I need to think about it again."

Zuo Qingyun said: "I don't ask for anything, I just want the people outside to know that this matter has nothing to do with me. As for the compensation, once we leave this door, we will just pretend it never happened."

The Marquis said: "The compensation has been paid, you can leave at any time, and this matter is over."

Zuo Qingyun wrote a letter immediately, and Chunfeng went to Datonghui in person. Not long after, he brought back four silver notes with a face value of one million taels.

After receiving the money, Chunfeng ordered his men to complete the release procedures. Zuo Qingyun left with a gloomy face.

The Marquis laughed out loud: "Jinxuan, well done, you are great."

Ye Jiayao smiled slightly: "It's a waste to refuse this money. There's no way to convict him, so it's good to let him bleed a little."

Xiao Jing said, "That's right. Four million taels can form a large army. Instead of letting him support Prince Yu, it's better to take it. But, Jin Xuan, you are really cruel. Look at Zuo Qingyun, his face has turned green."

Ye Jiayao disagreed: "He deserves it."

The Marquis handed Xiao Jing a silver note of one million taels: "Give it to the prince, and say that Prince Yu is honoring him."

Xiao Jing was not polite and accepted it with a smile. The prince was short of money right now. He was under house arrest a while ago, and not only did he lose a group of people, but he also lost a lot of income. With this money, he could do a lot of things.

The other three hundred taels were given to Ye Jinxuan: "This is your contribution, you can keep it and repay the favor."

Ye Jiayao was stunned: "How can that be possible? I have the money to repay the favor."

The Marquis waved his hand and said, "Keep it, keep it. Money can make more money in your hands. Anyway, you are the boss now." Then he warned, "No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today."

Chunfeng and Xiaojing nodded quickly, knowing the seriousness of the matter. If news of such a huge amount of compensation got out, people outside might make wild guesses.

Ye Jiayao touched the three large-denomination silver bills in her hand, her heart beaming with joy. Suddenly she had three million taels more, and now she was a real rich woman.

With this money, renovating Nangong’s old house is a piece of cake.

Tianshangju has also secured funds for opening branches.

With that part of the money, Zhao Qixuan could buy more properties in the south.

Money makes money, interest compounds interest, maybe one day she will become the richest woman in Huaisong.

This is the best example of what it means to turn a blessing in disguise into a blessing.

Today we finally got rid of our anger and everyone felt much better. Just as we were preparing to go home, we saw a man in armor, looking exhausted, rushing in.

The big furniture was stunned, but Ye Jiayao reacted first and greeted him with surprise: "Chun Yu, you are back?"

When Xia Chunyu returned to Ganzhou Prefecture, he learned that the empress dowager had passed away. He was even more anxious and rushed back to Jinling without stopping. He had just arrived home and had not even changed his clothes. He heard from the servants that Yaoyao had been kidnapped and detained for many days. She was rescued yesterday. The person who kidnapped Yaoyao was now detained in the Dali Temple. Now that Yaoyao had gone to the Dali Temple, he turned around and rushed over.

Along the way, his lungs were almost exploding with anger.

Someone actually took advantage of his absence and the fact that no one was in the Marquis' Mansion to attack Yaoyao.

The first thought that popped into Xia Chunyu’s mind was...it must have been done by Prince Yu.

It is not enough for Prince Yu to deal with him, he also has to deal with Yaoyao.

This touched his sore spot.

The reverse scale cannot be touched, otherwise the fight will end to death.

Seeing Yaoyao standing in front of him intact, Xia Chunyu breathed a sigh of relief. He resisted the urge to hug her and asked murderously, "Where is that bastard?"

The Marquis knew that his son was most worried about Jinxuan. Fortunately, the matter had been resolved, otherwise Chunyu’s stubborn temper would have taken effect and he would probably have killed Zuo Qingyun on the spot.

Then he said, "Let's go home first."

Chun Yu was not willing to give up: "Where is the person? I want to see which bastard dares to kidnap my woman."

Ye Jiayao felt warm and sweet in her heart when she heard this, and she was filled with happiness. She just liked hearing him speak in such a domineering way.

"Uh...you're late. The person has already been released." Ye Jiayao said with a smile.

Xia Chunyu said angrily, "Release him? You actually let him go? Who is he and where did he come from? You don't dare to provoke me, but I am not afraid. If he touches my woman, he will die."

Chunfeng patted his second brother on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, things are more complicated than you think. Let's go home first and talk about it when we get home."

He forcibly dragged Chunyu away.

Ye Jiayao followed happily, looking at Chunyu's tall and majestic figure like a crazy fan. She used to think he was very handsome when she saw him wearing a guard's uniform, but it turned out that he was even more handsome in armor, so handsome that he was invincible.

It was freezing cold outside, but Ye Jiayao didn't feel cold at all. Today was a really good day. Not only did she make a lot of money, but Chunyu, whom she had been thinking about, also came back.

Is this what they call hoping for the clouds to clear and light to appear?
Ye Jiayao was sitting in the carriage and lifted the curtain to peek at Chunyu in the back. Chunfeng was riding alongside him, saying something from time to time. Chunyu was listening with a frown on his face. Suddenly he raised his eyes and met her gaze. The coldness on his face suddenly turned into deep pity.

Ye Jiayao smiled at him and retracted her head.

Qiao Xi looked at her with an ambiguous smile in her eyes, but she was completely unaware. What she was thinking was: I can hold Chunyu to sleep tonight, and I don’t need a hot water bottle anymore. I want to lie on him. Haha, that’s great…

After returning to the mansion, Chunyu was called to the study by the marquis, who muttered to him for a long time before letting him go back.

Ye Jiayao had someone prepare the bath water. She could see that Chunyu had been traveling hard, with dark circles under his eyes. He had not been able to get a good rest after returning, so he ran to find her first. Ye Jiayao felt very distressed and ordered the kitchen to prepare some of Chunyu's favorite dishes tonight.

Chunyu came back just as the bath water was ready.

As soon as Qiao Xi gave a look, the maids followed her and retreated, and Qiao Xi closed the door.

There was no one around, so Ye Jiayao rushed over to hug him, but Chunyu quickly dodged: "I'm very dirty, I haven't showered in a few days."

Ye Jiayao grabbed him back and hugged him tightly: "I don't care if you are dirty or not."
