The lord's stunning concubine

Chapter 771 784 Shot without Mercy (4)

After Lan Qingqing and Jing Ye saluted the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager said with a smile: "Today, Li Ai's family heard that the princess and the second brother made a joke. Although the joke was a bit funny, it passed after all. Don't worry about it with the second brother, turn around, Aijia asked the second brother to apologize to the princess, and don't worry about small things."

She said this lightly, and only dismissed that incident as a joke.

Lan Qingqing said very indifferently: "I went to see Second Young Master Gu today, but I was not joking with him, but he owed me some silk before, and I went today to ask him for it, and then I happened to meet on the way. I saw a few merchants who had been tricked by him, and after careful questioning, I found out what Gu Qingfeng did to those merchants before, so I learned from him once and got back my money."

There was a hint of displeasure in the queen mother's eyes and said: "Second brother has always been very upright in his actions, and he would not care about ordinary merchants. It seems that those untouchables want to take the opportunity to make trouble."

Lan Qingqing sneered and said, "Untouchables? Could it be that all ordinary people are untouchables in the eyes of the Empress Dowager?"

The Empress Dowager knew she had said something wrong, and when her expression darkened, Lan Qingqing had already handed the contract that Gu Qingfeng had written before to the Empress Dowager and said: "This is a contract written by Gu Qingfeng himself. It's just in accordance with the contract, please ask your mother to take a look."

The Empress Dowager took a look at the contract, and then gave Lan Qingqing a meaningful look.

Lan Qingqing knew the meaning of the Empress Dowager's look at her, and immediately gave a gentle salute: "There is a contract here, I am not joking with Gu Qingfeng."

The Empress Dowager handed the contract to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager took a look at the contract and said: "It's just five hundred catties of silk. It's too much for the princess to ask the second brother for 2000 million taels of silver. Although the second brother did not stipulate He was indeed at fault for handing over the silk within the time limit, and tomorrow I will ask my second brother to double the amount of silk delivered to Lan Mansion, so it will be over!"

"No." Lan Qingqing directly refused: "A business person pays attention to reputation. If there is no reputation, then no business can be done in the future. Besides, Gu Qingfeng once used such a contract. The merchant who paid the balance in time, but he didn't return a tael of silver. Gu Qingfeng was serious when he signed the contract, and I was serious too. He didn't hand over the silk himself, so naturally he had to follow what was written in the contract Compensation, according to the contract, he will have to pay me 48 taels of silver by now. I spared him 48 taels of silver for the empress dowager’s sake. to me."

When the queen mother heard her words, her lungs almost exploded, she said angrily, "How can there be such a contract?"

"Isn't the Gu family always signing such contracts with other merchants?" Jing Ye said unhurriedly, "I also happen to have some contracts that Gu Qingfeng signed with other merchants before, please look at them."

After he finished speaking, he ordered someone to present a large stack of contracts. The Empress Dowager glanced at him, his eyes were full of firmness, and the Empress Dowager understood what he meant. He was going to deal with the Gu family today. .

The Gu Mansion has been a threat to the imperial power over the years, it is only a matter of time before Jing Ye wants to get rid of the Gu Mansion, this time is an opportunity.
