Qi Yuyan had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing her enter, he said, "Miss Yun, what brings you here to have a drink with me?"
Yun Xiyue took off her straw hat. "To be honest, there's something I want to ask you."
"Oh?"
Qi Wangyan narrowed his eyes slightly, his smile radiant, and poured her a cup of wine. "Tell me about it?"
"I heard that the Emperor has ordered an investigation into the embezzlement of military funds, which has implicated many people, including the Prince of Qin's mansion."
"Does your Furuilou have any evidence?"
Qi Wangyan raised an eyebrow. "You can't say things like that. We're just opening a wine shop to do business. Everyone who comes is a guest. If they are important people, we will treat them well."
"I have nothing to do with the corruption case. I am a businessman, not an official in the court. I do not participate in the investigation of corruption."
Seeing that he was pretending to be stupid, Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "How about we get straight to the point?"
Qi Yuyan chuckled, raised his glass and clinked it with hers, "When you go out to do business, how can you get straight to the point without drinking? Let's have a proper meal and talk things over."
Yunxi Yue picked up her wine glass and drank it.
I also ate some vegetables.
He didn't speak, so I stopped asking.
Qi Yuyan glanced at her and smiled, "What exactly do you want from me?"
Yun Xiyue put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and asked, "Young Master Qi, have you eaten and drunk your fill?"
"..."
Why are you so vengeful?
"Say it!"
The wine glass clattered onto the table.
Yun Xiyue said, "You set a trap for the Prince of Qin's son; you've got some nerve."
"Who cheated him?" Qi Yuyan laughed in anger. "We're in business, and they came to eat. How is that cheating them?"
Yun Xiyue was furious. "Can you stop pretending? Your Qi family just wants to form a marriage alliance with the Prince of Qin's mansion to reap more benefits, don't you?"
"But I advise you not to be too audacious and reckless. You dare to cheat the King of Qin's son? Do you really think the King of Qin is like those who are greedy for pleasure and follow the crowd? Don't end up shooting yourself in the foot and not gaining any benefit at all."
"In the end, they even offended the King of Qin."
Qi Yuyan's expression faltered slightly, his eyes darkening. "Did Princess Qin send you to find me?"
"No."
“I came here on my own. I’ve known Young Master Qi for a while, and we’ve even had a meal together. You’re also Pei Shang’s cousin. Pei Shang has been kind to me. I can’t bear to see you suffer utter ruin.”
Qi Yuyan couldn't help but sneer, "Could you be any more fake? Your whole trip was just to win over the Princess Consort of Qin, isn't your goal the same as ours? To gain the power of the Prince of Qin's mansion and reap many benefits from it?"
Yun Xiyue chuckled, "I already got what I wanted, there's no need for this."
She saved Princess Qin and they were already good friends, so there was really no need for her to do anything more.
Qi Yuyan put down her wine glass. "Then your trip here is enough. There's absolutely no need for you to actually help."
She came to me, but I was powerless to help. If the Princess of Qin knew this, she wouldn't blame me for not helping.
"Don't tell me it's for the sake of so-called sisterhood. If you offend the three major families, your Yun family won't have a good time."
Yun Xiyue said, "It's not for that. I just feel that King Qin is upright and loyal, protecting the country. He is the god of war who stands tall in our Great Xia. If it weren't for King Qin leading his troops to protect Great Xia and guarding the border, the people of Great Xia would not be able to live and work in peace and contentment. Where would we merchants have such a good opportunity to make money?"
"It is a businessman's nature to seek profit, but he cannot be without integrity or bottom line, and he will even betray loyal ministers."
