Chapter 82 She wants to become the most honorable woman in Qi Country
You have been forced to cut your wrists for more than ten years. It must be very painful, right?
Let Fifth Brother protect you from now on.
A strange happy smile appeared on his pale face, and he stood by the lake with frivolous steps and trembling legs.
The lake was deep, seemingly bottomless, and full of primitive fear. Lan Yuanzhou was extremely frightened. This was an instinctive fear of the unknown, but he jumped in firmly.
The lake water rushed into his nasal cavity, his eyes stung, and he felt as if his throat was being cut out with a sharp knife. The familiar fear made him want to gag reflexively.
His body struggled involuntarily, and everything in front of him gradually became blurry.
The air in his brain was gradually expelled. Lan Yuanzhou struggled hard, but found that his brain was blank. In the blur, he was afraid but tried to look around, struggling up and down, and finally saw a small figure in the chaos.
The figure shrank in the darkness, like a hasty mouse, holding a pot of flowers in its arms and looking around.
It's Chu Huan! It's the little thing in Wanru's yard.
It was he who dragged the flower pot step by step towards the fourth brother’s yard!
He knew, he finally knew where the evidence was.
Lan Yuanzhou's eyes widened, and because of his excitement, he choked several times in his mouth. His whole body suddenly lost strength, and his struggle gradually became smaller, and he sank to the bottom of the lake like a stone.
Red traces appeared around his body, and the bright red blood gradually spread, and finally melted into the lake silently.
There was always calm joy on his face.
It was like returning to the warmest embrace that belonged to him.

"Miss, since the third young master carried you around the capital on horseback, our Wufangzhai business has been getting better and better! It's even better than before when everyone knew that the fourth young master was embroidering clothes for you!"
Qiaodie happily entered the door holding her account book, her whole face beaming with joy.
Lan Wanru thought of the scene that day when she was riding around the capital on horseback. She was receiving everyone's gaze, and the people of the capital were kneeling at her feet, greeting her.
There was an adjutant in front of her to clear the way for her, and behind her were thousands of well-trained soldiers.
She is like the queen of the world.
Lan Wanru raised her chin slightly, and a fanatical thought suddenly swept through her head.
She wants to climb to the highest place and accept the admiration of others all the time. She wants to become the most noble woman in the world, and everyone must crawl at her feet!
She smiled sweetly as she imagined the future. Lan Wanru took the account book from Qiaodie's hand, stood up lazily, and flipped through it casually.
But before she could turn a few pages, her brows frowned tightly.
"Didn't you say that our Wufangzhai business is getting better and better? Why do all the people who come to Wufangzhai come to buy pastries, but there are very few people who come to Sushan?"
Although the current turnover of the store is good, it is still far behind what she expected. Even the stupid bitch Lan Yunyi can't compare with this amount of money.
She was very dissatisfied.
"A bowl of Sushan from Zhiwei Pavilion costs ten taels of silver, but our Sushan from Wufangzhai sells for fifteen taels. Even if everyone ignores the bloody plaque on that day for the sake of the third young master, it still doesn't matter.
I'm willing to spend an extra five taels of silver to buy it in our shop." Qiaodie explained with some embarrassment.
Even though the customers came here because of the fact that General Hussar took Lan Wanru on the street that day, they still couldn't bear the price difference of five taels between the two shops facing each other.
You know, the monthly salary of an ordinary official lady is only twenty taels of silver, which is still a lot.
Lan Wanru thought in silence for a while.
At present, the ice used by Wufangzhai is all ice stored in the Lan Mansion's warehouse. She has deducted the cost of the ice cubes in the mansion. Her grandmother's yard is extravagant and wasteful, and she needs ice cubes every day. She has specifically deducted the cost of the ice cubes in her grandmother's yard.
.
Calculated in this way, except for the money spent on buying the secret recipe from Feng Xiao, the production of Sushan is almost cost-free.
Wufangzhai is not only engaged in the Sushan business, but also in the pastry business, while Lan Yunyi never sells anything else in her shop except for some worthless calligraphy and paintings made by sour scholars.
If she can lower the price of her Sushan at this moment and destroy Lan Yunyi's shop, then she will monopolize the Sushan business in the future. No matter how expensive she sells it, if they want to eat, they must buy it.
Lan Wanru's eyes turned dimly, and she ordered Qiaodie: "In the future, the price of Sushan in Wufangzhai will drop to three taels of silver. I don't believe anyone will go to Lan Yunyi's shop."
"Thirty taels of silver?" Qiaodie's eyes widened: "This is too big a difference, miss! This is a direct loss of twelve taels of silver."
"The ice belongs to Lan Mansion, and it doesn't require any capital. We can make a profit of three taels by selling it for three taels of silver, but Lan Yunyi needs money to buy ice. She spent a lot of money to buy ice, and it is impossible to sell it cheaper than us. When the time comes,
If we can't sell it, the store will collapse sooner or later."
"When Lan Yunyi's shop collapses and our family is the only one, then we will decide the price of Sushan." Lan Wanru's eyes were firm.
"But the ice in our house will soon be used up. If the second lady's shop hadn't collapsed by then, wouldn't we have lost money? Buying ice is a big expense." Qiaodie retorted.
"Wealth can be found in danger." Lan Wanru has made up her mind.
"I can guarantee that Lan Yunyi's shop will collapse within ten days. She has no other way out except Sushan."
"What's more, we have earned so much money these days, which can be used to buy ice for at least a month. What's the harm in using this money to gamble with a poor guy like Lan Yunyi?"
Qiaodie opened her mouth, feeling helpless: "The money I owe to the gambling house...the profits from the gambling house are huge. If I don't pay it back now, I'm afraid I will have long nights and dreams."
"Our shop is so profitable now, what are you afraid of?" Lan Wanru gave Qiaodie a strange look.
"I owe money to the gambling house first. We can just pay it back in one lump sum when the time comes. You first stabilize the big dog in the gambling house. Third brother is at home at the moment. The people in the gambling house don't dare to embarrass me too much. If you have time
, it is better to go to the merchant who sells ice and ask him if it can be cheaper."
Lan Wanru's voice was light and she obviously didn't take this seriously.
After taking care of the things in the shop, Lan Yunyi felt relaxed all over her body. She casually put her account books to the side of the waiter and leaned back leisurely on the soft couch.
In just a few actions, she had already destroyed Lan Yunyi's shop. After buying her Zhiwei Pavilion, she had already planned everything she wanted to use the Zhiwei Pavilion for.
After she owns two famous shops in the capital and earns more money than others can count in her lifetime, she will ask her eldest brother to betroth her to the most promising prince. She will use the gold and silver in her hands and the power of her brothers to
The prince helped him become the crown prince.
After the prince, there is the emperor.
Crown Princess, Queen, Queen Mother.
She wants to climb up step by step, and she wants to become the most prestigious woman in the world.
There's just one more thing in front of me.
"Qiaodie, my fourth brother's attitude toward me has become very strange recently. Did he discover something?"
"Has Doctor Chen solved it? And that pot of flowers, that pot of flowers that I specially used to pour blood, have you found it now?"
Lan Wanru slowly sat upright. When she thought of this pot of flowers, she felt a little uneasy. This chapter has been completed!
