The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

Qi Zhiyu sighed, utterly helpless: "Second Brother, couldn't you just find one of your own to impersonate?"

Qi Jingxi: "!!!"

"In full view of everyone, someone tried to take advantage of the situation and was exposed. And that talisman that spontaneously combusted without fire... do you think anyone would still dare to try to take advantage of it?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

This world, in particular, holds a great deal of awe for the concepts of gods and ghosts.

"What if someone dares to forge it?" Qi Jingxi said subconsciously.

He then realized how ridiculous his question was.

"Our people were the ones who initially traded with those who wanted to buy amulets. Once they recognized our store as authentic, they wouldn't buy from other stores."

Qi Jingxi nodded as she spoke.

After all, people who buy amulets for protection are not short of money and value their lives.

They would rather spend more money than buy amulets of dubious origin or with unknown authenticity.

"Sister, if those people hire a large number of ordinary people to draw lots, wouldn't they no longer need us as middlemen?" Qi Jingxi thought of another question.

Qi Zhiyu just looked at him and smiled.

Qi Jingxi slapped her forehead: "I understand."

"I'll hire some people first, so that none of them can win!"

"We also need to create hype so that they accidentally leak the news before they come to draw lots, making outsiders think that they didn't draw because they weren't sincere... Wait a minute, sis."

Qi Jingxi was in a dilemma: "Even drawing lots doesn't guarantee you'll get the answer, and the people who hire them won't require the people to draw it."

"It will take quite a while to completely stop this employee from seeking divination."

Qi Zhiyu smiled: "Second brother, you are so kind."

"Huh?" Qi Jingxi looked at her younger sister blankly.

"Find someone in a nearby village; their living conditions are average, so they're trustworthy," Qi Zhiyu said.

"The information they leaked in advance wasn't because they were hired to draw lots, but because their family members inadvertently let it slip that their family would receive unexpected wealth."

"When they fail to draw a fortune stick and go home, they often trip and fall into the river for no apparent reason; it's always a matter of life and death..."

"Such bad luck attracts the attention of the villagers, and then the family of the hired worker complains. It's as if the hired worker is squandering their own good fortune... If people hear about this, how many people will risk their lives to earn a job drawing lots and praying for peace for others?"

"After all, compared to life, making some money is something most people value more than life itself."

"As for those who are truly desperate and willing to risk everything for money, we can't close that door on their path either."

Qi Jingxi was dumbfounded.

After a long pause, he shook his head and exclaimed, "Sis, how did you get your brain? This is complete monopoly!"

"It's not exactly a monopoly," Qi Zhiyu shrugged. "It's impossible to prevent everyone from doing it; some people will still take the risk."

"However, it doesn't matter. We don't need to worry about that small profit. As long as we have the big profits, that's fine."

Qi Jingxi really didn't know what to say.

If you source your own goods and make your own profit, those small gains are really nothing to worry about.

Qi Zhiyu has given all the necessary preparations to her second brother.

As for when to arrange for people to put on a show, her second brother will make the arrangements.

She doesn't need to worry about it at all.

She disliked the political infighting in this world... it was too much of a waste of energy.

The original world was better; resolving issues with force was quick and efficient.

However, no matter how things change, the ultimate goal will remain the same.

The more resources you have, the greater your chances of winning!

She just wants to make lots of money!

As for things like connections and influence, she doesn't get involved.

She's not good at winning people over, but she's adept at suppressing and destroying them, doing it effortlessly.

As Qi Zhiyu and Qi Jingxi left, they saw the main hall for praying for peace talismans in the distance, and she couldn't help but laugh: "So many people?"

"Absolutely," Qi Jingxi remarked, "You have to get a lucky draw before you can buy it."

"Not everyone is so lucky as to get it right away."

"You only get three chances a day. If you use them all, you'll have to come back early tomorrow."

Qi Zhiyu nodded. Even so, the number of people seeking divination was still quite staggering.

Fortunately, temples restrict the number of people, which prevents unnecessary dangers caused by large crowds.

"Princess, Lord Qi." Jiang Shuyi, who was walking towards them, curtsied to Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu nodded slightly.

Jiang Shuyi suddenly called out to Qi Zhiyu, who was about to continue walking, "Princess, I'm getting married."

Qi Zhiyu stopped and looked at her with a puzzled expression, then said uncertainly, "Congratulations?"

Jiang Shuyi: "..."

What was Qi Zhiyu's reaction?

"Does the princess really disapprove of my marriage?" Jiang Shuyi was seething with anger.

Her mother has been divorced and gone back to her parents' home.

The Duke of Wei's mansion has completely severed ties with her maternal family.

Without the financial support of her maternal grandparents' family, the life of the Duke of Wei's mansion was naturally not as good as before.

Although it hasn't manifested itself yet, that's the trend for the future.

As for her maternal family, without the support of the Duke of Wei's mansion, their business will inevitably be affected.

The two companies were originally meant to complement and support each other.

Now, it's all over!

It was all because of Qi Zhiyu that the bridge was cut down, destroying both families at once!

She should have married into the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion in a grand and glorious manner, enjoying the love and care of her parents-in-law and the affection of her husband, living a life of honor.

But now... everything has changed!

How could she not hate Qi Zhiyu?

Qi Zhiyu asked, amused, "What does your marriage have to do with me?"

"Could it be that you're unhappy with your marriage?"

Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled, "Didn't you come looking for trouble with me back then because you were deeply in love with Wei Yifeng?"

"What? Now that Wei Chengjiang has lost his marquisate and Wei Yifeng is just a general, your feelings for him are gone?"

"So, back then, were you standing up for Wei Yifeng's Wei family, or for the Wei family of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion?"

Jiang Shuyi gritted her teeth in anger: "Princess, my feelings have never changed. Please do not make wild guesses."

"Oh," Qi Zhiyu said casually.

Her perfunctory attitude infuriated Jiang Shuyi.

"I never expected the princess to misunderstand me like this and question my sincerity..." Jiang Shuyi's indignation left Qi Zhiyu completely bewildered.

"What does your sincerity or your marriage have to do with me?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously.

"My relationship with your Duke of Wei's mansion has always been hostile. Why are you stopping me like this, telling me you're getting married?"

What do you want me to say?

"Jiang Shuyi, if you have brain problems, go get treatment, really. This can be passed on to the next generation."

Jiang Shuyi, her blood vessels throbbing and her breathing rapid with rage, cried out, "Princess, you've gone too far!"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "You thought you could bully me? You didn't succeed. You met your match, so I fought back."

"You can't withstand my retaliation, so you resort to verbal attacks and accusations?"

"Jiang Shuyi, didn't your grandfather, the Duke of Wei, tell you that history... is always written by the victors?"
