Ren Yingying's eyes were cold, and her dissatisfaction with Li Yulan was clearly shown on her face.

"You bastard, you still dare to quibble? You bought that purple clay teapot for 500,000 taels of silver, and then sold it to our Han Palace for 700,000 taels of silver. You made a net profit of 200,000 taels of silver. Do you think I'm a fool? You are really bold!"

Li Yulan thought to herself that this matter was not good. She didn't expect that it would be exposed so quickly.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly explained: "My Lady, when merchants do business, don't they always buy low and sell high to make a profit from the difference? It's impossible to do business at a loss, right?"

"Besides, we had a normal transaction, both of us were willing. I did not seduce or force you to buy a purple clay teapot. You took the initiative to ask me to help you find a treasure that suits your taste. When I brought the purple clay teapot to you, you were full of praise. Now you come to me to accuse me. Why is that?"

"If you're not satisfied with what you bought, why don't we sit down and negotiate? There's no need to go to all this trouble."

Merchants are really cunning, treacherous and despicable people. In order to make money, they are so bold as to come to the palace to cheat. They really don’t know how to live or die!

Seeing that Li Yulan was still so arrogant and eloquent as to treat her as a fool, Ren Yingying became even more furious.

"You are such a black-hearted person. You made two hundred thousand taels just by reselling it. Aren't you afraid that you will be killed by it?"

"You help me with my work, and I'll give you some money for running errands. This is certainly feasible. I'm not an unreasonable person, so I'll naturally do you a favor."

"But two hundred thousand taels, what a huge sum, don't you know? How dare you imagine that? Do you really think that the money in the palace was blown by the wind?"

"Perhaps you have made money from me, but you are still cursing me behind my back as a complete fool! How can I be bullied so easily? You let an unknown low-class businessman cheat you. Do you really think I will be so easy to talk to, swallow my anger, and not bother with you?"

"Come here, beat this audacious, reckless man to death. Just keep him alive!"

Li Yulan was frightened when she saw Ren Yingying was furious, and she knelt down in panic.

After all, that was the Prince of Han's mansion! Going down with them would be like hitting a rock with an egg, which would not do them any good.

As the saying goes, a man of insight is a wise man. She didn't want to offend the Prince Han's Mansion and get severely beaten up.

She knelt down and begged for mercy: "My Lady Concubine, we can't solve the problem by talking like this. So how do you want this matter to be solved now? Why don't you just say it directly?"

Seeing that Li Yulan was quite sensible, Ren Yingying took the initiative to give in, and her expression softened a little, "Since I'm not satisfied with this transaction, then cancel the transaction and refund the goods!"

It turned out that Li Yulan bought the purple clay teapot from Su Ci for 500,000 taels because she was confident that she could sell it. Now, Concubine Ren wants to return the teapot. What should she do if she gets the purple clay teapot?

She humbly negotiated: "How about I return all the 200,000 taels of silver to the queen, and this deal will still go ahead, okay?"

Ren Yingying was very angry. She was scolded by the prince for the purple clay teapot. He accused her of being incompetent and of being cheated out of 200,000 taels of silver for buying something.

How could she just swallow this breath? How could she let it go so easily? It was simply a daydream!

Buddha competes for a stick of incense, and people compete for a breath.

Ren Yingying reiterated with extraordinary firmness: "You must refund me immediately!"

She winked at the maid beside her, and a girl in yellow clothes came forward and put down a box carefully.

Ren Yingying pointed at the box and said coldly, "The purple clay teapot has been returned intact. Return the money to me immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being gentle enough and hurting everyone's reputation!"

Su Yuyi had never seen such a scene before, and had long been frightened into silence. Now that he saw that the situation was not good, he quickly said, "Your Majesty, wait a moment. I will go and get the banknotes and return them. Please wait a moment!"

After saying this, he scurried out like a dog being chased.

In an instant, he took out a box of silver bills, held them in both hands and presented them to me, his face full of anxiety.

After the maidservant beside Concubine Ren took it, she carefully counted it and found that the number was correct. Then she replied softly: "Madam, the number is correct."

Ren Yingying nodded slightly.

He looked at Li Yulan with contempt and said coldly, "Mrs. Su is so bold that she went to the palace to cheat people. It's really abominable! I'm not willing to just let it go."

"We have to punish him a little bit. Otherwise, if everyone follows suit, anyone will dare to go to the palace to cheat people. That will be unacceptable. How will the reputation of the palace be preserved?"

"Come here, teach Madam Su a lesson! It won't be too much, just give her twenty slaps! We need to teach her a lesson and make sure she doesn't do it again!"

Two strong maids rushed forward, one held Li Yulan down to prevent her from struggling, while the other slapped her face wildly.

After twenty slaps, Li Yulan's face was so swollen that she looked unrecognizable, blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth, and two of her teeth were knocked out.

She sobbed with a look of grievance, and watched the concubine of King Han and a group of people walk away.

She hated these high-ranking nobles. If their second wife was like the first wife and had a daughter who could marry a prince as a princess, even if what happened today was exposed, the concubine of King Han would not dare to punish her openly.

I dare not treat her like an ant, and I might even suffer the loss in silence without even going to her house to hold her accountable.

This time, she made up her mind to find good marriages for her daughters.

No matter whether it is glorious or not, as long as she marries into a wealthy and powerful family, it's fine.

Like Su Yao, although the means were not very glorious, she still achieved her goal and became the prince's concubine, which was enough to make many people look up to and envy her.

Coming out of the Su family's second room, Ren Yingying whispered, "Now, let's go to the 'Treasure House'!"

"Yes, madam!"

When I arrived at the "Zhenbao Tower", I first found the manager and explained my purpose. The manager quickly had someone deliver a purple clay teapot.

"Dear guest! This is the purple clay teapot we sell here." The old steward looked respectful.

Ren Yingying looked at the purple clay teapot in front of her. The shape was exactly the same, but the color was slightly different.

Li Yulan's purple clay teapot is dark brown, while this one is dark purple. From the color point of view, the dark purple looks more noble and more beautiful, which is more to the liking of Concubine Ren.

She was ecstatic.

Sure enough, her decision was correct. Fortunately, she returned the purple clay teapot to Li Yulan.

The prince will definitely be very happy to bring this deep purple clay teapot back home, and he might even stay in her room tonight.

Thinking of this, Ren Yingying decisively paid the money and left in a hurry.

The manager looked at the departing team, and the smile on his face became even more unfathomable.

He called over his capable servant and said, "Take these banknotes and send them to the little princess! I heard that the princess likes silver the most!"

"Yes." "No matter how far we go, love will always be there. Can you give me a good review?"
