Cool! Tragic death and rebirth, the legitimate daughter abuses the scumbag with great pleasure
Chapter 173: Another Threat
Seeing this familiar face, Su Ci was still a little surprised. This person was Li Yulan, the wife of the second branch of the Su family.
In the early years, the relationship between the second and third branches of the Su family was extremely unharmonious.
Uncle Su Da and Uncle Su Er are both old lady Su's biological sons. The two branches have always been at odds with each other. When it comes to suppressing the third branch, they both spare no effort and are equally despicable and shameless.
The two ladies of the first and second branches of the Su family followed the lead of Old Madam Su. The three of them colluded with each other and suppressed the third branch with all their strength for many years, making it impossible for the third branch to break free from their control and suffer from bullying.
Today, the third branch has taken charge and is doing very well, with everything going very well and looking very prosperous.
Yet she had the audacity to visit them, as if she had completely forgotten the evil things they had done to the third room. How shameful!
Su Ci always felt that she would not come to visit him for no reason, and that she was just a weasel visiting a chicken and had no good intentions.
Let’s see what she will say next!
Li Yulan smiled and walked forward affectionately, holding Su Ci's hand and saying kindly: "Xiaojiu, why did you come back just now? Second aunt has been waiting for you for more than an hour. Her lips are almost blistered and she is so anxious. Your mother and I sat and drank tea. We have already drunk several cups and our stomachs are about to burst!"
In order to ease the atmosphere and bring people closer together, Li Yulan deliberately joked.
Su Ci responded calmly, "Second aunt has been waiting for so long, but is there something important?"
"It's not a big deal. I just want to see if my niece has any good treasures and sell one or two to me. A relative in my mother's family is in urgent need."
Is this the God of Wealth coming to give money again? However, she is very clear about the truth that a tall tree attracts the wind.
We can no longer sell treasures so blatantly. If we have too much wealth, it will attract the covetousness of outsiders and bring disaster to our family, which is not a good thing.
Su Ci calmed herself down and decided to complete this last transaction. She also wanted to follow this clue to find out why the Li family wanted to buy so many treasures. Even if the Li family was an imperial merchant, it was impossible for them to have so much money to squander, right?
Su Ci was a little confused.
There must be a secret here that she doesn't know.
Su Ci forced a smile and said calmly, "After the last sale, I only have one last treasure left."
Li Yulan's eyes sparkled, her face full of desire, "What kind of treasure is it?"
Su Ci walked back to her room and immediately brought out a tray covered with a red cloth. "It's a very exquisite purple clay teapot."
When these words were spoken, Li Yulan's face showed disappointment, but she still had a last glimmer of hope and wanted to take a look.
When the red cloth was removed, what appeared before everyone was a very delicate dark brown purple clay teapot with a soaring dragon around the body and on the top of the teapot.
The flying dragon is made with relief technique, and it looks vivid and lifelike, as if it is ready to soar into the sky at any time.
Li Yulan and Hua Fuyin were both shocked, stunned with their eyes wide open.
Li Yulan's expression was even more exaggerated, her eyes were shining brightly, and she was deeply stunned by the object in front of her.
Li Yulan's lips trembled as she stammered, "It is indeed not an ordinary item. It is extremely precious at first glance. My dear niece, please sell it to me! Name a price! How much silver do you need?"
Su Ci said in a false tone, "Second aunt, we are all family. I will give you a preferential price of one million taels of silver."
Li Yulan's mouth twitched fiercely, but she thought that this was the last treasure. If she missed this one, where could she find a good treasure to sell to that person? Her eyes rolled around, and her entanglement quickly turned into joy.
Gladly accepted the price.
Su Ci looked at the changing expressions on her face and guessed that there must be other reasons or tricks, but she just didn't know it.
Li Yulan finally agreed readily and asked her personal maid to present a large box of banknotes.
Then he wrapped the purple clay teapot properly, stood up and said goodbye in a hurry.
Su Ci looked at her flustered and excited figure and fell into deep thought.
Hua Fuyin was puzzled when he saw his daughter like this, "Xiaoci, what are you thinking about? Is there anything wrong?"
"I just wonder how Second Aunt has so much silver. The Su Mansion was previously visited by thieves, and almost all the property in the mansion was lost. How could she have so much silver? It's strange that she could buy things worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels without any hesitation."
"Besides, why did she buy so many expensive items? What was the purpose of it?"
"Well... she didn't elaborate. She just said that it was needed by a relative and was in urgent need. She was evasive about the rest and refused to elaborate. I don't know what she's up to."
Su Ci dragged her mother to the house, and Hua Fuyin sent her back to Fengqiyuan. "You've been learning horse riding these days. You must be tired. Go wash up and go to bed early!"
"Okay! Mother! I'll talk to you tomorrow!"
After seeing Hua Fuyi off, Su Ci called out softly, "Ban Yue!"
Ban Yue stepped forward, and Su Ci whispered, "Find a secret guard to follow Li Yulan and see where she went after buying the purple clay teapot? Who did she meet? What did she do?"
Ban Yue left immediately.
More than an hour later, when Su Ci was about to go to bed, Ban Yue walked into the wing room and reported softly, "Miss, we found out! Li Yulan went to the Prince of Han's mansion and got in touch with the Prince of Han's concubine. Li Yulan immediately sold the purple clay teapot for 1.2 million taels of silver, making a net profit of 200,000 taels of silver."
"Wow! Li Yulan is indeed a woman from an imperial merchant family. Her business acumen is really worth it. She bought it from us and made two hundred thousand taels in less than an hour. She really knows how to make money!"
"Moreover, I asked the secret guards to check. The cup she bought from us last time was also sold to Prince Cheng and another imperial merchant. She made three hundred thousand taels of silver in one transaction."
Su Ci recalled that last time Li Yulan bought two sets of cups from her, she spent a total of 800,000 taels of silver, but she made a profit of 300,000 taels after reselling them. This time, she only made 200,000 taels out of 1 million taels, which was considered to be showing mercy to the concubine of King Han.
After all, the palace is powerful, so she still has to be a little wary.
However, Li Yulan bought things from her, bought low and sold high, and made a net profit of 500,000 taels in one go, but she was still very unhappy.
Even if she earns more, that won't work.
If someone she dislikes or even has a deep hatred for takes advantage of her by a few taels of silver, Su Ci will feel heartbroken. This is a matter of stance and principle, and she will never give in even a little.
Miss Ban Yuejian had a very interesting expression on her face. She must be thinking of some bad idea again. Just stand there quietly and don't disturb her.
Su Ci thought for a moment and whispered, "Banyue, spread the news that Li Yulan bought the purple clay pot for one million taels but sold it for one and a half million taels!"
"Also, send this identical purple clay teapot to the Treasure House for auction. No need to raise the price, just one price of one million taels of silver!"
Let’s see how King Han’s concubine will deal with Li Yulan after she finds out the truth?
Wait for good news!
