Chapter 415 Termination of Cooperation
Their family's princely title was obtained entirely through evidence gathered by the Prime Minister. If she truly is a virtuous wife, then she has thoroughly offended someone...

Somewhat guilty and uncertain, she asked, "Ye'er, could it be a lie made up because you're afraid your mother will hurt her? If she is a virtuous lady, why doesn't she live in the Prime Minister's residence? Why did she ask you for money to stay at an inn?"

Zhao Baoye was also surprised to hear that Qi Yunran was staying at an inn.

Then, something occurred to her and she was overjoyed. She and Yuan Jun had fallen out.
"My lady, did you and... Yuanjun have a fight?"

Qi Yunran gave him a cold glance. Seeing the joy in Zhao Baoye's eyes, her heart sank. It seemed that he was just hoping that Pei Yuanjun would treat her badly!
Then, looking at the self-righteous and self-deceiving Princess Zhao, she said coldly, "I have learned about the way the Zhao Prince's Mansion treats its guests! The reason why Zhao Baoye gave me the silver notes is because I did sign a 'theme park' contract with him five years ago. I have not come to collect the money in the past five years, so today I would like to ask him to give me all the money from the past five years."

Princess Zhao's eyes widened in disbelief. Was she really a virtuous lady?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! The Zhao family's most profitable business was actually conceived by this woman?

Qi Yunran sneered at her expression: "If Princess Zhao doesn't believe me, she can go to the Prime Minister's residence and inquire about me. Also, please hurry up and calculate the profits from the past five years for me."

After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Baoye's face, then sat down properly. He leisurely picked up the tea on the table and began to drink.
"This tea is getting cold, please hurry! After all, the threshold of Prince Zhao's residence is too high, not just anyone dares to enter!"

Princess Zhao choked. She didn't understand. But what was with the sarcastic remarks she was being made about?

Even if a virtuous lady has a noble status, she cannot surpass the royal family.

But then I remembered that she was also the Crown Prince's foster mother...

Knowing that Qi Yunran was angry, Zhao Baoye immediately sent someone to quickly fetch the accounts.

He went out himself, and soon returned with a box in his hands and a group of people.

The accounts from the past few years add up to a small mountain. "Madam, here are all the accounts from the last five years; you can take a look."

After saying that, he handed the box in his hand to her: "And this is the silver notes you've been owed for the past five years. I've put them all away for you separately!"

He cautiously observed her expression, only to see her glance at him expressionlessly.

I lost interest after flipping through two pages of the accounts.

Then he took the box from his hand, took out the silver notes and looked at them. There were several thick stacks, neatly placed in the box, all with a face value of one hundred taels, totaling about ten million taels of silver notes!
Seeing Qi Yunran take away so many silver notes, Princess Zhao's heart was bleeding!

Qi Yunran then took out 40,000 taels from the pile of silver notes and gave it to Zhao Baoye: "This is what I borrowed from you yesterday, and now I'm returning it to you!"

"No need, consider this as the interest you've earned from depositing the banknotes with me over the years."

Qi Yunran didn't say anything more and put the 40,000 taels of silver notes on the table for him.

Then she stood up. Zhao Baoye felt a pang of reluctance. Was she leaving?
"Since the Zhao family does not welcome me, then I will take my leave! And my cooperation with the Zhao family is terminated!"

Zhao Baoye stared at Qi Yunran in disbelief. What did she mean? His mind went completely blank!
Princess Zhao was also taken aback. What happened to such a profitable business? They just said they wouldn't cooperate anymore?

So she said indignantly, "Even if I, the princess, am in the wrong today for not asking for the reason, my virtuous wife, please don't be so heartless!"
