After being exiled, the Crown Princess rose to the top by pitting the villain

Upon hearing this, Lin Zili and Yun Zhiyu curled their lips in tacit understanding, exchanged glances calmly, then put on an arrogant look, turned around and gave the butler a disdainful look.

"Business? What business? Our boss is a noble in the capital. Not everyone is qualified to discuss business with her."

As he spoke, he fiddled with the badge on his waist in a particularly arrogant manner, with a sarcastic expression and a very pretentious attitude.

At this moment, another pair of eyes were staring intently.

They were not unfamiliar with this person. They had seen him at the Li family's home yesterday. He seemed to be the biological brother of the Crown Prince's Concubine.

He took a step forward without saying a word, and kept looking at Lin Zili and Yun Zhiyu. He thought his observation was concealed, but in fact they had already noticed it.

Lin Zili and Yun Zhiyu played their characters to the extreme. The Li family might not even know Princess Wanping, let alone the subordinates around her. As long as they acted well, they would naturally not notice.

The two had already honed their acting skills to perfection along the way, so their performance was more natural and there were no mistakes at all.

The more this happened, the more Brother Li believed in the identities of the two.

Not to mention the badge around her waist, just this kind of attitude of pretending to be powerful is not something that ordinary people can carry off. It is said that Princess Wanping is unruly and arrogant, and her subordinates are also like chicken feathers taking it as a token of authority, and look down on everyone. Now that I see it, it is indeed so.

The more certain they were of the other party's identity, the more nervous the Li family became.

Wan Ping is the emperor's most beloved nephew. If she mentions the Li family in front of the emperor...

Originally, with the prince's ability, he could cover up the truth of the matter, but if Wan Ping knew about it and talked about it in front of His Majesty, the Li family would have no chance of survival!

Thinking about this, Brother Li became more and more nervous. In the slightly chilly late autumn, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead and his expression was very stiff.

Lin Zili had admired the other person's nervous expression enough and aroused his fear before speaking fiercely.

"Get lost! We are not interested in doing business with your family. We don't know anything about your little business. Hehe, you are quite courageous. Wencheng's business is very interesting. We will talk about it with the master later. She will definitely be interested."

As soon as these words were spoken, the housekeeper and Brother Li were so frightened that their souls almost left their bodies. Their legs and feet became weak and they could hardly stand.

"Oh, I heard that the Li family was robbed. Should we let..."

"No, it's not. These are all rumors spread by ignorant people."

Brother Li could no longer stand, luckily he had the support of the housekeeper, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself on the spot.

"Oh, is it so?"

Lin Zili shrugged nonchalantly, looking as if she didn't care.

This appearance made Brother Li even more frightened.

Right now, the prince still doesn't know about the theft in the warehouse, and the Li family doesn't know how to deal with it. They can only keep it a secret. If the truth is revealed...

He dared not think.

"Why bother you two masters with such a small matter in Wencheng? That's all nonsense, not worthy of your ears."

Brother Li hurriedly took out a bunch of silver bills and was about to stuff them into Lin Zili's hands when he was stopped by Yun Zhiyu.

"do what!"

Yun Zhiyu was very unhappy when others approached Lin Zili. His solemn expression was a bit threatening and almost scared the Li brother.

He quickly stuffed the banknote into Yun Zhiyu's hand with some flattery.

"It's just a little gift, please accept it, young men."

It was said to be a little, but Lin Zili took a quick glance and found that it was no less than ten thousand taels. This was clearly a hush money.

This fee can be increased.

The Li family is indeed the prince's purse. Even if the warehouse is emptied, there is still money for emergencies.

The purpose of the two was to trick the Li family, so they naturally couldn't scare him.

"That's right. We are here to do business. We won't say anything that we shouldn't."

Lin Zili deliberately pretended to be bribed by money and softened his tone.

Seeing this, Brother Li and the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

"We learned that you wanted to open a shop. This small tea shop is not enough. Why don't you buy our two shops and connect them to open a big restaurant... The largest restaurant in Wencheng has a lot of income!"

The butler used the largest restaurant in Wencheng as an example and patiently persuaded the student.

Lin Zili and Yun Zhiyu pretended to think for a few moments before speaking with a hint of caution.

"Are you so kind as to sell our shop? As far as we know, the silk shop next door is a prosperous one!"

"You adults may not know that our Li family was harmed by a foreigner who stole our name! However, they used our Li family's name after all. Even if we are wronged, we have to take responsibility and deal with the aftermath, right?"

As he said this, he pretended to be extremely helpless.

The two of them sneered in their hearts and looked down upon the Li family's behavior of shirking responsibility.

If it really doesn't matter, the Li family can just file a lawsuit. Why bother dealing with the aftermath out of a guilty conscience?

"The Li family has also suffered an unexpected disaster."

"That's right. So, we have no choice but to sell the shop as a last resort. Look, the location of our shop is excellent, and it's a good place to open a restaurant. Can you please write to the noble man and ask if he can take over our shop?"

The location is indeed excellent. If you want to open a hot pot restaurant, it would be best if you can connect the two shops next door. Of course, you have to buy them at the lowest price so that you won't lose money if you close the shop and run away afterwards.

The Li family saw the rich and powerful selling their shops at this critical moment, simply because they wanted to build some connections in case of emergency. Most importantly, the rich and powerful are not short of money, and they will not be cheated if they sell their shops.

"We can naturally make the decision, as long as the price is right."

Upon hearing this, Brother Li and the housekeeper could not hide the excitement on their faces.

"Not expensive, only 10,000 taels per room. We'll give you a discount for two shops, 1800 taels."

"Why don't you just rob it?" Lin Zili shouted exaggeratedly and drove the people out directly. "Are you trying to extort money from us? It doesn't matter. We will talk to the master about Wencheng's matter and maybe we can get the shop for free without asking for a penny."

Lin Zili threatened calmly, driving the two men away with one hand.

Brother Li suddenly became anxious.

"You name a price. If it's suitable, we'll go to the government office to handle the formalities right away."

"Two rooms for five taels."

"what!"

What’s the difference between this price and giving it away for free!

"This is impossible!"

"Our master has an eagle that flies a thousand miles a day. We brought it out this time. If we are in a bad mood today, we will spread the news and the master will know what happened here soon. We didn't necessarily want your shop, but you came to us begging for it. Now that you want to sell it, we have to take it! Either the Li family will suffer in the future, or we will make a deal for five taels today!"

Brother Li regretted it deeply at this moment. No matter who he sold it to, he would earn at least 20,000 taels of silver!

"Also, you will have to pay for the renovation of the restaurant in the future, okay?"

This is too much.

When Brother Li and the housekeeper heard this, their faces turned dark and they turned around and wanted to leave.

Hey, if you don’t want to be cheated, it’s too late!

Lin Zili winked at Yun Zhiyu, who immediately whistled. The falcon suddenly appeared in the sky, screaming, and the two men's faces turned pale with fright.

"Can we go and complete the formalities now?"
