Chapter 150 Threat
He Yuyan had just removed the needles from Xie Ningxin's body when she went to the outer room and overheard the conversation between the two maids.
"Sister Dingxiang, you guessed wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Dingxiang was puzzled.
“Just now, one of my fellow villagers saw Aunt Wu carrying a gift box as she came out of Yong'an Hall.”
"What did you say?"
Dingxiang frowned.
how is this possible.
Even if they aren't punished, they certainly wouldn't come out carrying a gift box!
"Sister Dingxiang, it's absolutely true."
Mo Yu seemed afraid that Ding Xiang wouldn't believe him, so he also told her about Wu Weiwei having dinner at Yong'an Hall.
She heard that the old lady had specially instructed the kitchen to prepare bamboo shoots and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which were Aunt Wu's favorite dishes.
It is clear that the old lady did not punish Aunt Wu.
On the contrary, he seemed to be trying to please her.
Upon hearing Mo Yu's words, Ding Xiang instinctively felt it was impossible.
She lifted the curtain to go inside, only to find He Yuyan standing behind it.
"Aunt, young lady..."
Dingxiang's face turned pale.
"You...you heard everything?"
"Dingxiang, what does the Old Madam want Aunt Wu to do at Yong'an Hall?"
You're the one involved in this..."
“Girl, Dingxiang didn’t do anything.”
I simply told the old lady the truth about the hunting trip at Qingshan that day.
She had assumed that, given the old lady's fondness for her daughter, she would surely stand up for her.
Ideally, Aunt Wu should hand over half of her business to the young lady to manage, but who knew...
"You mean Aunt Wu went today and nothing happened?"
On the contrary, she was even rewarded by the Old Madam?
Dingxiang bit her lip tightly as she looked at Moyu.
"You tell the girl!"
So Mo Yu relayed the news she had just heard to He Yuyan again.
Upon hearing this, He Yuyan's face turned from rosy to pale.
How can it be?
Besides her granddaughter, the old lady doted on herself the most.
Although she was not a proper relative of the Marquis's family.
However, she was the most beloved granddaughter of the old lady's former close friend.
It is also because of this relationship.
When He Yuyan and her younger brother came to the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion, she took them in without hesitation.
Because of her ingratiating and obedient nature, the old lady also cherished herself.
According to Dingxiang.
The old lady already knows about the injustice she suffered during the hunting trip in Qingshan, and it is only right that she should stand up for her and uphold justice.
But why did Aunt Wu leave today?
Instead of punishing her, she invited Wu Weiwei to stay for a meal.
Even more so, before leaving, he rewarded her with so many bird's nests?
He Yuyan's emotions were in turmoil.
A short while later, Xie Ningxin, dressed neatly, came out.
She overheard most of the conversation between the three, master and servant, and after learning about the conflict between her and Wu Weiwei, Xie Ningxin smiled.
She looked at He Yuyan and gently comforted her:
“Sister He, if you ask me, you should put your hopes on the old lady.”
"Why not focus your attention on the Crown Prince..."
He Yuyan looked at her with a calm expression.
I felt somewhat dissatisfied with her meddling.
"Miss Xie, this is my own business. If there's nothing else, you should get some rest!"
After saying that, He Yuyan gathered up her tools and left her room.
Watching He Yuyan walk away proudly with her chest puffed out, Xie Ningxin's lips curled slightly.
Hmph, she's just a lowly concubine of the prince.
That's all. What does she have to be arrogant about?
In her opinion, given He Yuyan's cunning, it would be strange if she hadn't been played to death by Wu Weiwei.
If it weren't for the fact that she was treating her illness, she wouldn't have bothered with her affairs.
Thinking back to how polite the Lady Hou had been to her when she paid her respects earlier that day.
Xie Ningxin felt a little more confident.
After handing over her work, Wu Weiwei had nothing else to do.
Lin Fan was carrying out the engineering modifications in an orderly manner according to her requirements.
Besides preparing for the Chamber of Commerce, Qingzhu would also go to the residence of the bodyguard Bo Lai to ask him for martial arts lessons whenever she had free time.
Of course, Wu Weiwei has already announced that Qingzhu has been dismissed from his post.
As of now, only she, Lin Fan, and a few other managers know about HNA's situation.
This is, after all, Wu Weiwei's private business going forward.
In order to keep her identity hidden from the world, Qingzhu's identity will have to remain a secret from now on.
Because of sufficient funding, the renovation of the Yudie Health Resort is progressing rapidly.
Knowing that the noble ladies of the capital were all waiting to get beauty treatments, Wu Weiwei specifically instructed Lin Fan.
First, renovate the courtyard of the beauty salon so that the eager lady can use it.
So it will take at least a month, or at most three months, before everything is ready for delivery and use.
Two days later.
Wu Weiwei ordered a notice to be posted to recruit beauty technicians.
The monthly allowance is guaranteed at five taels of silver, plus monthly commission and bonuses.
One can earn at least eight to ten taels a month, with no upper limit.
Besides, there are two days off every month.
As soon as the notice was posted, many women came to apply for the job.
This includes more than just married women.
Even unmarried daughters from poor families flocked to Jade Butterfly's headquarters for interviews.
After working long hours every day, He Yuyan finally figured out the whole system of Wei Garden.
Although I've figured it out.
But she had no money on her.
So, at Xie Ningxin's suggestion, she followed Wu Weiwei's example and mortgaged Weiyuan to borrow 20,000 taels of silver.
Surely she won't have to beg the prince now?
She believed she would earn that money back soon.
Only with money could she confidently and boldly recruit people.
He Yuyan had posted a recruitment notice several days ago.
Seeing that Wu Weiwei had recruited enough people in just three days, and that they were all respectable women.
However, she received the same treatment as Wu Weiwei, and her results were posted three days earlier than Wu Weiwei's.
However, she only managed to recruit fifty people in three days.
Enraged, He Yuyan turned and walked out of Wei Garden.
She instructed Moyu to keep an eye on things at Wei Garden and to reject all prostitutes.
Unfortunately, what she didn't want came to her.
After Wu Weiwei's Butterfly Garden was fully staffed.
More than two hundred prostitutes who had originally come from Ruyanlou flocked over from the Jade Butterfly headquarters.
Qin Baihe knew that Wu Weiwei didn't want her, so she lured the prostitutes to Weiyuan to take the test.
Yu Die didn't want her to stay, but Wei Yuan couldn't just abandon them, could it?
Since she wanted Prince Min to recognize her value, she naturally had to achieve something.
Only if Prince Min approves of her can she gain his favor.
Although she was coaxing Chen Qing, Chen Qing was just a poor scholar.
Just by looking at how he now makes himself a courtesan to earn money to support his studies, you can see his character.
She did listen to what Lu Xiaoqian said that day.
She wasn't that stupid to actually follow the example of Du Shiniang in the opera and sell herself to support a poor scholar's education.
She needs to have a backup plan.
If she could catch the eye of Prince Min, he would take her into his palace as a concubine.
Anything is better than being a prostitute who sleeps with men.
Just look at Wu Weiwei and He Yuyan and you'll know.
Looking at the gilded plaque hanging at the entrance of Wei Garden.
This is a plaque bestowed by the emperor.
She refused to believe that He Yuyan would dare refuse her if she threatened her with the emperor's order.
When Qin Baihe led the prostitutes to Wei Garden, she saw He Yuyan walking out of the main hall.
