Li Zixuan handed the letter in his hand to Jiujiu. Jiujiu finished reading ten lines at a glance and was stunned. 1357924?
She didn't expect it to be a letter from the steward of Prince Heqing's residence.
The Yan family's business spread all over the country, and they also had shops in Prince Heqing's fief. Jiujiu didn't expect her father to have dealings with Prince Heqing's residence.
It would have been fine if there was nothing after that, but there was the matter between Chu Hexin and Li Zixuan. Jiujiu instantly became suspicious. Did Chu Hexin know Li Zixuan in the first place?
"Why would our Yan family have dealings with Prince Heqing?" Jiujiu asked in confusion.
Li Zixuan explained in a low voice, "Master and the steward of Prince Heqing's residence are old friends, so the purchasing matters of Prince Heqing's residence are all handled by the Yan family. It's just that this year, Prince Heqing's residence can't make ends meet. Now, they actually want to owe money for the second half of this year. I really don't know what to do."
As soon as Li Zixuan finished speaking, Jiujiu instantly understood.
Even if they couldn't make ends meet, Prince Heqing was still a member of the imperial family. If they didn't agree, if Prince Heqing had a comeback, the first to bear a grudge would be the Yan family.
As the saying went, the people didn't want to fight with officials, let alone the merchants who were worse than the poor. If Prince Heqing had a comeback, the first to deal with would definitely be the Yan family. But if Prince Heqing couldn't make a comeback, then not only this year's things, but also the next few years' things would be wasted.
And the annual expenses of a prince's residence naturally wasn't a small amount.
Although the Yan family was rich, this money wasn't picked up from the water. Naturally, there was no reason to give it away for nothing.
Li Zixuan's annoyance wasn't without reason.
Jiujiu lowered her eyes. After a long time, she said softly but firmly, "In business, although Prince Heqing's steward and father are old friends, the person in charge of the Yan family now is me. Send a message to the steward. If he doesn't have money, then forget about this year's purchase."
Li Zixuan was slightly startled. He didn't expect Jiujiu to reject him so directly. He lowered his head and looked at Jiujiu for a long time before curling his lips and saying softly, "Then forget it."
Jiujiu lowered her head and made a sound of acknowledgment. She lowered her head slightly, revealing a white and tender neck. Jiujiu's skin was white and tender, like a lotus root that had been washed with water. It was white, tender, and crisp. Against the contrast of her ink-black hair, there was actually a bit of seductive charm.
Li Zixuan's sexy Adam's apple bobbed up and down slightly. He lowered his head and looked at Jiujiu's bright eyes. He walked behind Jiujiu and whispered, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but you seem to have changed a lot."
She had become prettier and more seductive. Even her temper had become a little bigger.
Based on Yan Qing's cautious personality in the past, she definitely wouldn't have dared to refuse the request of Prince Heqing's Estate. Now, not only had she refused, but she had also disgraced Prince Heqing's Estate so openly. She was truly different.
Jiujiu's expression was slightly startled. She tilted her head and glanced at Li Zixuan. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "I've probably grown up."
Li Zixuan laughed softly and said meaningfully, "Probably."
After he finished speaking, his eyes wavered slightly. He tilted his head and looked at the sky outside the window. He said, "It's getting late. Miss hasn't eaten yet. Let's eat together."
Although it was a suggestion, Jiujiu could hear a trace of toughness in his words. It could be seen that Li Zixuan wasn't as gentle and harmless as he was in front of outsiders.
Jiujiu stayed behind to eat lunch with Li Zixuan. After that, the two of them stayed in the study to look at the account books. It wasn't until the evening lights were lit that Li Zixuan finally finished dealing with the thick stack of affairs on the desk. Shaking his sore neck, Li Zixuan looked at Jiujiu and said with a smile, "Miss, let's go back."
Jiujiu lowered her eyes and nodded gently.
Jiujiu walked out of the study with Li Zixuan following closely behind. The two of them, one tall and one short, one strong and one weak, were inexplicably harmonious when they stood together, even though they were both dressed in black.
After escorting Jiujiu all the way to the room, Li Zixuan stood at the door. His broad palm gently rubbed Jiujiu's forehead. His ink-black eyes seemed to carry light as he stared unblinkingly at Jiujiu. It wasn't until he saw the intention to evade from Jiujiu's face that the corners of his mouth curled up. He said softly, "It's getting late. Miss, rest early."
After speaking, he turned and left.
After Li Zixuan left, Qiao Die hurriedly walked to Jiujiu's side. Looking at Li Zixuan's back, she asked in confusion, "Young master, what did second young master say to you?"
Jiujiu walked into the room and waited for Qiao Die to close the door before speaking, "I told him the truth. I told him that I am a woman and that father and mother wish for us to get married."
Just as Jiujiu finished speaking, Qiao Die anxiously said, "Miss, you can't be so reckless. If, if he …"
Although Li Zixuan was a child adopted by Master and Madam, because he was raised as a child husband from a young age, he came into contact with the Yan Manor's business from the age of thirteen. Now that both Master and Madam had died, to put it bluntly, although Jiujiu carried the title of the Yan Family's successor, the one who truly had the final say in the Yan Manor was Li Zixuan.
When Master and Madam were still alive, there were still people who suppressed Li Zixuan. But now that Master and Madam were gone, Miss revealed her identity as a woman. If Li Zixuan had any ill intentions, the Yan Family would have to change its surname in the future.
Unlike Qiao Die who was full of worry, Jiujiu's face didn't have a trace of worry. Instead, it was calm.
The original owner of the body who didn't know anything was taught by Li Zixuan to become a leader. After the original owner of the body had the ability, Li Zixuan directly retired to the second line. From this, it could be seen that Li Zixuan really didn't have any other intentions towards the Yan Manor. After all, the original owner of the body didn't know anything. If Li Zixuan had any ill intentions, the original owner of the body wouldn't have the slightest chance of winning. So, towards Li Zixuan, Jiujiu was very assured.
On the contrary, thinking that Li Zixuan now knew that she was a woman, Jiujiu began to secretly plan to make Li Zixuan completely fall in love with her before Chu Hexin appeared.
It was just that Li Zixuan looked gentle, but after interacting with him, he was somewhat unfathomable. Jiujiu couldn't help but feel a bit troubled.
Jiujiu habitually wanted to go find Steamed Bun, but she suddenly remembered what Jiu Li said before this mission. She couldn't help but sigh and rub her temples.
Thinking about the missions in the past, Jiujiu felt a bit strange no matter how she thought about it. She had clearly done so many missions, but why could she only vaguely remember a few? The rest were all very hazy, and she couldn't even remember the process clearly.
She wasn't a person with a bad memory, but why couldn't she remember? But even when her temples were a bit swollen and painful, she still couldn't remember anything. But for some reason, she felt like she had forgotten a very important person.
