Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 105 Behind the scenes

His two-meter height made him resemble a tree standing firmly on the ground, remaining unmoved despite the envoy's frantic struggles and shouts.

"Xiao Wang is not qualified to decide on cooperation with Da Qi, but he is qualified to decide your life and death."

The people of Daqi were terrified. How could Yuwen Chan be about to kill the special envoy here in the blink of an eye?!

That's a Mongolian envoy, not a cat or dog!

They're demanding 100,000 taels of silver just because a few horses were lost. If a special envoy were to die here, the entire Qi treasury would be emptied by them!

Wei Tianxuan led seven or eight people forward to persuade him, and Yuwen Chan loosened his grip, finally releasing the special envoy.

The envoy lay on the ground, breathing heavily. His face was bluish-purple with a hint of white, clearly indicating that he had just taken a trip to the underworld and almost met Meng Po.

Yuwen Chan ignored him; he hated talkative people the most.

He walked directly up to Liu Yuechu, looking down at her, and said, "I can agree to the conditions you've set, but I also have one condition that you must agree to."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gazes instantly shifted between him and Liu Yuechu.

A man, a woman, or a woman as beautiful as a fairy.

What other conditions could this man possibly propose?

“Lady Liu is already married…” Wei Tianxuan immediately stepped forward and interjected.

He knew Yuan Cuo, after all; he couldn't very well talk about his brother's affairs and drag his woman into it.

Liu Yuechu hesitated for a moment. She was dressed up in a glamorous way today, not to seduce anyone, but to sell things!

"Business is business. I trust Your Highness, but I also expect Your Highness to respect the Great Qi and myself when making requests."

If he dares to utter any insulting words or make any unreasonable demands, she will make sure he can never be the ruler of the Mongol Kingdom again, and she means what she says.

Yuwen Chan suddenly burst into laughter, his unrestrained voice seemingly capable of shattering the roof of the Court of State Ceremonial. "I am no tyrant who has never seen a woman before, there is no need for such vigilance. I merely admire your decisiveness and wisdom."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Yuechu also calmed down a little, "What are the young prince's conditions?"

"I want you to be in charge of negotiating with the Mongol Kingdom. Don't let those cowards interfere. If you don't agree to this condition, then the Mongol Kingdom and the Great Qi will have no choice but to fight." Yuwen Chan looked at Wei Tianxuan and the group of people from the Court of State Ceremonial, making no attempt to hide his contempt and discrimination.

"Xiao Wang doesn't believe that human lives can't buy what you just said; it's just a matter of whether you're willing to do it."

"The Mongolians have never been afraid of death!"

After saying this, he picked up the special envoy and left.

As he reached the door, he seemed to sense that someone was watching him. He stopped and looked around, but there was no one there.

Thinking he had misread it, he completely disappeared from people's sight.

That decisive and ruthless aura still lingered in the rooms of the Court of State Ceremonies.

Wei Tianxuan ordered his men to open all the doors and windows immediately, "Let some air out, this room is so stuffy, it smells like mutton!"

"Liu Yuechu, what are you up to? Is this a negotiation you can handle?! You ignorant woman, do you even know how much trouble you've caused?!" The Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial was extremely dissatisfied, even more so with Yuwen Chan's proposal to cooperate with her, and he also scolded them all for being incompetent.

"You didn't even discuss it beforehand before agreeing to give away so many herbs and cotton. Your Liu family is really something, a woman can make decisions for the entire Qi!" The head of the Bai family said sarcastically. He was the highest-ranking official in the merchant-official hierarchy here.

If we trace it back, even Liu Yuechu's father would have to call him uncle.

Today, he was not only ridiculed by the Mongolians, but also overshadowed by such a young woman.

"Cotton, linen, and herbs are one thing, they're worthless, but rouge is priceless, and they gave it away without even consulting us!" The head of the Xu family was also dissatisfied.

"Besides, we're offering 100,000 taels of silver, plus so many other items, just to get 100,000 fur coats in return? How is this deal even calculated? We might lose money!"

……

The crowd complained one after another, either looking down on Liu Yuechu, a woman, for making the decision, or criticizing her for overestimating her abilities.

Wei Tianxuan stood aside without saying a word; he also felt that Liu Yuechu's behavior had gone too far.

Although it solved a big problem, upon closer examination, it wasn't just one family's issue. He wanted to wait until everyone had finished complaining before stepping in to smooth things over.

But just as this thought crossed his mind, Liu Yuechu's words almost made him kneel on the ground and kowtow!

"I apologize, but the hairpins, rouge, and medicine pouches I mentioned were not intended for you seniors, nor could they be considered as making decisions on your behalf. The Liu family's business extends beyond fur; we are involved in various industries. The medicine pouches, rouge, and rouge I promised are small items from our own shop, not priceless items from your shops."

"?!!!"

The crowd looked at each other, speechless.

They had originally intended to reprimand Liu Yuechu before negotiating the price, but they hadn't expected that Liu Yuechu wouldn't even consider involving them? This little woman was going to monopolize the business from Mongolia!

"These are all items representing the dignity of the Great Qi Dynasty; how can we use your cheap and inferior goods to deal with them!"

"This matter needs careful consideration; it cannot be decided hastily."

"The relations between our two countries are of paramount importance. Don't think that just because Yuwen Chan mentioned your name, you can act arrogantly and make decisions. Whether or not you are allowed to participate depends on reporting to His Majesty!" The Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial found her utterly displeasing.

Liu Yuechu rolled her eyes. She had just been so frightened that she was blushing and speechless, and now the rules were trying to intimidate her.

"A man who has no ability will only bully his own family." She muttered to herself, seemingly unafraid of being overheard.

Shaoqing was so angry that his eyes turned green.

Wei Tianxuan didn't want to make things worse. "Alright, if you're not as good as others, you're not as good as others. Why are you pretending?" Wei Tianxuan looked at Liu Yuechu seriously. "Madam Liu is exceptionally courageous and a true heroine."

He bowed deeply to Liu Yuechu with utmost seriousness.

She resolved the conflict between the states of Qi and Meng, which also met Emperor Qi Xiao's requirements. In any case, she did him a great favor.

Moreover, this matter doesn't require any money from the national treasury. Emperor Qi Xiao will definitely applaud it and award Liu Yuechu a respectable memorial arch.

"Isn't that heroic? He spent 100,000 taels of silver." Liu Yuechu pouted.

If it weren't for those merchants uniting against her and forcing her to back down, how could she have mustered the courage to negotiate with the Mongolians!

Liu Yuechu slowly left the Honglu Temple.

"Truly, women and petty men are the hardest to deal with!" The Bai family head was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

The other family heads also looked gloomy, feeling that they had been defeated by a woman and were furious.

Wei Tianxuan had no interest in dealing with them; he still needed to go to the palace to report the details and await His Majesty's decision.

After sending everyone home, the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial hurriedly went to see Qin Yongshang and told him everything that had happened that day.

Qin Yong was extremely surprised, "This young woman is no ordinary person, who exactly is behind her?!"
