Chapter 20 020. Refusing to Pay
Chapter 20 020. Refusal to pay
Yun Guinuan touched the veil on her face. He, the prince, probably wouldn't remember her as a little orphan. What's more, she was still wearing a veil, so no one could recognize her.
She glanced at Xiao Huaiyu's face, planned to pretend she didn't see it, and quickened her pace.
Xiao Huaiyu glanced at Yun Guinuan who was about to "escape" and glanced at Changtian.
Changtian reacted quickly and caught up, "What a coincidence, Miss. Are you here to listen to a book too?"
Yun Guinuan looked at Chang Tian who was standing in front of him, pretending to be surprised, "It's you. What a coincidence. I'm not here to listen to a book. I'm passing by here on business."
She didn't expect that Changtian recognized her and took the initiative to say hello to her.
She turned around and took a look and found Xiao Huaiyu looking at her. She quickly looked away and asked Changtian, "Prince Rui is here to listen to a book?"
Changtian said, "Your Highness, the Third Highness, invited my prince to come to Yueming Teahouse to listen to books."
The prince said that His Highness paid for it, so this time it was His Highness who invited the prince.
Yun Guinuan said "Oh", feeling a little disappointed for some reason, "I thought the prince liked to listen to stories about fox fairies."
She bowed and left quickly.
Her reputation in the capital was not good, so she had better not get too close to Xiao Huaiyu, lest she cause trouble to him.
Xiao Qijun was startled, "It's the one from the Rong'an Marquis Mansion..."
Although they have always lived in the front yard and never set foot in the backyard, it is not a solution to keep the backyard abandoned, and it is not okay to always live in the front yard.
Cheng You was sweating profusely in pain and his face was hideous. He endured the pain and argued, "It didn't say what book was printed. You said you gave the manuscript. What kind of manuscript it was? Do you have any evidence?"
His tone was cold and distant, with unwelcome written all over him from head to toe.
Yun Guinuan choked, Sanlang's idea was so unique.
Yun Guinuan narrowed his eyes and increased the strength on his hands. The contract did not say what kind of book was printed.
After Yun Guinuan left, Xiao Qijun had a gossipy expression on his face. He touched Xiao Huaiyu with his elbow, "Whose girl is that?"
And even if she wants to sell her house and land, no one will buy it, no one will buy the house of the God of Plague.
She couldn't imagine what the backyard looked like.
The first time she signed a contract, she was inexperienced and was careless.
The bookstore has finished its business for the day and is about to close.
The bookstore has made tens of thousands of dollars in the past two days. He is stupid to give this money to the little plague god. He has worked hard to manage it, why should he give it to her!
Yun Guinuan grabbed Cheng You's wrist, flipped it up and locked it behind him, staring at him fiercely, "You want to renege on the contract written in black and white?"
"Talk too much!" Xiao Huaiyu pushed Xiao Qijun away and got into the carriage, "Let's go, Changtian!"
Changtian wanted to say that his prince liked the story of the fox fairy very much and asked him to buy the book, but when he looked sideways and saw that the prince glared at him, he put all these words away.
Yun Guinuan said, "Do you think we should find someone to clean up the backyard?"
Xiao Huaiyu squinted at Xiao Qijun, poked him with a finger, and distanced the two of them, "In this large audience, please pay attention to your identity and stand still."
The emperor's uncle, who was dressed simply and with his face covered, and who never flirted with women, turned out to have a girl he liked.
Sanlang learned cooking skills from Grandma Zheng. He learned to cook very quickly. After a few days, he was already very good.
Xiao Qijun suddenly smelled something unusual. He put one hand on Xiao Huaiyu's arm and closed the distance between them. "When did the emperor meet Miss Yun? Tell me about it."
Cheng You's face fell instantly. The person he least wanted to see now was Yun Guinuan, "What's the point of Miss Yun's visit?"
"Tell me again, will you give me my money or not?"
Most importantly, she now has spare money to clean up the yard.
Yun Guinuan couldn't help but take a sneak look at Xiao Huaiyu. Xiao Huaiyu was really good-looking. "It's almost lunch time. I won't disturb you. I'll leave first. Say hello to the prince for me."
She smiled and explained, "This is the Hou Mansion, it cannot be sold easily."
When Yun Guinuan returned to the house, lunch had just been prepared. Since Sanlang came, she didn't need to worry about three meals a day.
Yun Guinuan narrowed his eyes, "What does the shopkeeper mean? According to the contract, I will take the part of the money I should get!"
"How is the business today, Shopkeeper Cheng?" She walked around the area for a long time and knew that Dongxing Bookstore's business was booming these past two days.
Yun Guinuan sighed softly, "I'll ask someone first who can mow the weeds and tidy up the yard. We'll see how much it costs before we decide."
Sanlang tilted his head and looked at her, "Wouldn't it be better if my sister sold this house and bought a new, smaller house that doesn't need to be taken care of?"
Xiao Qijun not only did not stand up straight, but instead tightened his arms around Xiao Huaiyu, close to the distance between the two of them, "What does it matter? Everyone in the capital knows how close our uncle-nephew relationship is. Uncle Emperor, just tell me. I'll look at the clouds."
Will the young lady be my future aunt?"
Cheng You burst into tears in pain, but refused to admit it, "Whatever your money is, it's all my money!"
Cheng You turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, waving his hand to drive Yun Guinuan away, "Go away, go away, you didn't notice that I am busy and have no time to talk to you. Miss Yun, just go back to where you came from, I won't send you away."
"This is called getting angry out of shame." Xiao Qijun said "tsk tsk" twice. He reacted quickly and jumped up and got into the carriage just before it started.
She opened the contract in front of Cheng You, clearly written in white and black. She paid for the cost and stall fees, and the money earned was hers.
"Well, Yun Guinuan from Rong'an Hou Mansion." Xiao Huaiyu stopped the conversation and continued speaking to prevent Xiao Qijun from saying bad words.
Sanlang said, "Grandma Zheng knows a lot of people. Maybe I can ask her when she comes to visit tomorrow."
The truth is on his side, and the people in the yamen will not do anything to him. Besides, the man in front of him is the little plague god. If he is targeted by the plague god, everyone will sympathize with him!
Yun Guinuan gritted her teeth and wanted to tear Cheng You apart. Tens of thousands of taels of silver was not a small amount, and Cheng You became greedy.
She knew that Cheng You was careful, but at that time she only thought that Cheng You was going to secretly print a few more books and pocket the extra money. She didn't expect that Cheng You was so bold and dared to swallow all her share.
"Her name is Yun Guinuan." Xiao Huaiyu said the name naturally and smoothly.
"The most important thing in doing business is integrity. This little thing in your belly will make you pay the price." Yun Guinuan tightened his fingers.
Cheng You howled in pain, "You, don't mess around. If you mess around again, I'll call someone to report it to the official!"
The path from the front yard to the backyard is blocked, and weeds grow all the way, making it impossible to step down. Not to mention the dead vines climbing on the hanging flower door completely block the path to the backyard.
Come to think of it, how could such a high-ranking prince like such a clichéd story full of human smoke and fire?
After eating and resting all afternoon, Yun Guinuan went out. He needed money to clean up the yard, so it was time to go to Donghang Bookstore to withdraw the money.
"Sister, it's hard to make money. Wash your hands and get ready to eat." Saburo brought the dishes to the table.
It would be unlucky to do business with the little plague god, so he couldn't stave it off by taking a sum of money in advance.
"Very well, remember what you said today! I will make you pay the price."
Yun Guinuan kicked Cheng You in the butt, knocking him to the ground.
Cheng You stole Miss Yun's money, what should I do?
