Chapter 243 Turning two powerful men against each other
"Okay, you actually destroyed my valuable jade bracelet, please pay me back!" Wang Yuying attacked Su Ho.
Su Ho was so angry when he saw this turn of events.
If we put it in modern times, as long as there is surveillance, we can know the truth. But this is in ancient times, and this noble lady obviously deliberately framed her.
But she fell into such a trap and couldn't explain herself at all.
"You broke it yourself, what does it have to do with me?!" Su Ho pointed to the guys aside: "They are all my witnesses. Girls, please don't make unrealistic claims."
"They are all from your shop, so naturally they are looking for you." Wang Yuying turned around and called out the waiters around her. Everyone agreed that Su Ho had broken her bracelet.
The father-in-law said that the father-in-law was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. Just like that, this matter alarmed Su Jing.
When Su Jing asked, he found out that Wang Yuying was the noble daughter of Duke Cao. How could the Su family, a small family, offend such a noble person?
He looked at Su Ho, who looked aggrieved: "Miss Wang clearly deliberately framed my daughter, please tell me father."
At this time, she also realized that Wang Yuying was Xu Yongqian's newly engaged partner, wasn't she? He must have heard that Xu Yongqian had a crush on her in the past, so he came to trouble her.
But how innocent is she?
Xu Yongqian is obsessed with her because she is so charming. Can you blame her?
She didn't even know that the reason why Xu Yongqian got engaged to Wang Yuying was because he couldn't forget her, and he even found Wang Yuying as a substitute.
Su Jing has a toothache and a mouthache. The Su family cannot afford to offend a powerful family like the Wang family. Now the only way to settle the matter is to spend money and eliminate the disaster.
"May I ask Miss Wang how much this bracelet is worth?" Su Jing asked seriously.
Wang Yuying raised her lips with a half-smile: "It's only worth ten thousand taels of silver."
Su Ho got angry when he heard this: "Why don't you go and grab it?! No matter how good the quality of your jade bracelet is, it can't be worth ten thousand taels."
Furthermore, where can she find 10,000 taels to compensate Wang Yuying?
"But it's worth ten thousand taels." Wang Yuying said in a dignified voice: "If you break it, you should compensate it according to the price."
Su Ho was not easy to fool either. She said coldly: "I want to find someone to sell!"
Wang Yuying's eyes flashed slightly, secretly thinking that this bitch of the Su family was not just a fuel-efficient lamp.
In the end, I did find someone to sell it. The quality of this jade bracelet is indeed of the highest quality. Although it does not require 10,000 taels, it still costs 5,000 taels.
Su Jing couldn't afford so much cash, but he knew that Su Mei and Rong Song were closer than they used to be, so Su Mei also knew about it.
After Su Mei came to the Silk Manor, she asked Su He: "My sister is the concubine of His Highness the King of Qin. Why don't you go to His Highness the King of Qin to borrow money?"
When Su Ho heard this, his face darkened, thinking that Su Mei did it on purpose.
Zhou Xing is still grounded. She can't see Zhou Xing at all, let alone ask her to come to ask for five thousand taels of silver? She can't make Zhou Xing feel that she is a burden.
"Isn't it because His Highness King Qin doesn't want his sister?" Su Mei said in surprise.
Su Ho heard this and sneered: "Your Highness and I are in a good relationship. Besides, I'm not like some people who just want to be a canary attached to a man!"
Wang Yuying smiled instead of being angry: "Miss Su San is so ambitious, so just give her five thousand taels!"
Su Ho looked at Su Mei and said, "I know my sister has some cash, please give it to me."
Her matter-of-fact tone made Su Mei dumbfounded. People who didn't know better thought she and Su Ho were very close sisters.
"When my sister is in trouble, it's not easy for me as a sister to just die without saving her. However, biological sisters also have to settle accounts clearly. My sister and I are not biological sisters, so we have to calculate it more carefully. One tael of silver, one penny a day, and interest.
If my sister accepts it, I can lend her five thousand taels." Su Mei said lightly.
Su Ho's expression changed again and again: "Why don't you grab such a high profit?!"
She borrowed five thousand taels. Doesn’t that mean that her daily profit is as high as five thousand taels?
"If my sister has nothing to do with our Su family, I would have asked for ten cents in interest. Of course, if my sister thinks it's too high, then I'll give it up. As long as my money didn't come from the strong wind, I won't borrow it without interest." Su Mei stood up.
After walking around the silk and satin shop: "I'll give my sister a quarter of an hour to think about it."
Wang Yuying watched the Su sisters coming and going, and felt that she had watched a good show. This Su Mei was more pleasing to the eye than Su Ho.
Su Ho could only ask Su Jing for help: "Father..."
"That's Ah Mei's money, and I can't make the decision as a father." Su Jing was dissatisfied with Su Ho for causing trouble, so why would he offend his good daughter again for Su Ho?
Su Ho hesitated, but in the end he could only nod in agreement.
She still has 500 taels of silver on hand. If she borrows another 4500 taels from Su Mei, the interest for one day will be more than 40 taels, and the interest for one month will be 135 taels. She might as well borrow it.
Usury loans......
The thought flashed past her, and she stopped eating again.
Just because a bank loan requires a mortgage, how can she, a girl from a boudoir, get the assets to use as collateral? If she goes for a private loan, the annual loan interest rate will be 70%, which is twice as high as Su Mei’s annual loan.
In the end, Su Ho could only sign and pledge, and borrowed several thousand taels from Su Mei.
If she hadn't been weak today, she wouldn't have been bullied into this by Wang Yuying. She remembered this account.
Wang Yuying taught Su Ho a lesson and she felt much more comfortable. She took the money and was about to leave, but Su Ho said to her with a half-smile: "I heard that Miss Wang and Prince Xu were engaged, and Prince Xu and I have always been a bit agitated.
Friendship, I know that he is a long-term lover, if Miss Wang marries Prince Xu, she will definitely be on the same page as Prince Xu!"
Wang Yuying's face changed slightly. Is this bitch showing off her close friendship with Prince Xu in front of her?
"If you look closely, Miss Wang looks a bit like me. I didn't expect that after such a long time, Prince Xu would still miss me and actually want to marry a fake to show off——"
Wang Yuying could not hold back and was about to throw her palm at Su Ho, but Su Ho could only grab her wrist and said, "Miss Wang is so angry and angry. It's really ugly. Now that she knows she is a fake, why don't we get rid of this marriage?"
Retreat?"
How could Wang Yuying be willing to withdraw from this marriage? She just liked Xu Yongqian's face, and she didn't know how happy she was to be able to settle down with Xu Yongqian.
It was at this moment that she knew about Su Ho's existence, so she made a special trip.
When Su Ho saw Wang Yuying's appearance, he guessed that Wang Yuying liked Xu Yongqian, which was interesting. Knowing this, he still couldn't bear to break off the engagement. After the marriage, Wang Yuying would feel better.
Su Mei was about to leave, but when she saw Su He and Wang Yuying looking at each other, she suddenly became interested.
The Wang family relies on the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has favored Concubine Xian the most over the years. Naturally, the Wang family supports Zhou Xing.
The most powerful supporters behind Zhou Xing are undoubtedly the Wang family, but it is Zhou Xing who is behind Soho.
She can take this opportunity to drive a wedge between Duke Cao's Palace and Prince Qin's Palace, turning the two most powerful people in the capital against each other and helping Xi Yan.
