I raised my gaze and glanced at Xue Qingrou. A hint of pride flashed in her eyes. I withdrew my gaze and said lightly, "I did say that."
A stir erupted among the crowd.
"She admitted it!"
"How could you do this?"
"This is too much!"
Ignoring the murmurs, I continued calmly, "I had already told her before."
"These shops are all leftovers from my play."
"As for why I didn't let her tell you..."
I paused for a moment and slowly said, "I was afraid you would blindly follow the trend."
"If all your money goes in at once and supply exceeds demand, where will the profit margin be? By then, your money will have turned into worthless paper. Would you be happy then?"
I raised my gaze again, scanning the faces of the crowd.
"I was merely giving a kind warning."
"If you choose to misunderstand it as a malicious threat against her..."
"Then there's nothing I can do."
The owners of various Merchant Houses in the guild fell into deep thought. After a while, someone spoke up.
"Miss Xue, forgive my boldness."
"Is it true what they say about Miss Qingrou recently?"
I raised an eyebrow and looked at Xue Qingrou. Her face turned pale, and she stared at me with wide eyes.
I curled the corners of my lips, "What rumors? Oh, you mean about her being a bastard child?"
"That's right, it's true."
"Her mother is nothing but a shameless vixen."
"She gave birth to her after an affair with a servant, and when it was discovered, she kept threatening my father with so-called blackmail."
I sighed, "Alas, my father's lifetime of reputation is being held hostage by such a woman."
"Someone like her still has the audacity to threaten my father to interfere in the affairs of the Xue Family. How can I allow her into the Merchant House?"
"Don't you agree?"
Xue Qingrou's face turned pale, her body swaying unsteadily.
The maid beside her couldn't stand it any longer.
"You’re talking nonsense!"
The maid pulled a hairpin from her head and charged at me.
"Watch out!" someone exclaimed.
I stood still; behind me, Ji Rufeng stepped forward and kicked the maid away.
I curled my lips again, looking down at the person lying on the ground, wailing.
"Waste."
After saying that, I turned and left with Ji Rufeng.
I was in the right and sitting upright.
If they wanted to investigate, let them investigate.
As for Xue Qingrou, she seemed unaffected.
A few days later, she spent quite a bit of silver again at Shuji Pharmacy.
Countless silver coins began to flow towards Xue Qingrou.
Once, when we crossed paths on the street, she stood in front of me.
I looked over, and she provocatively raised her chin at me.
Fine.
Since you insist on seeking death, don't blame me for being rude.
I found the Elder of the Xue Family and, in the name of the Xue Family, wrote a notice to expel Xue Qingrou from the family lineage.
"Recently, Miss Xue Qingrou of the Xue Residence has colluded with outsiders, attempting to harm the Xue Family."
"Hereby, the ancestral hall of the Xue Family issues this notice: effective immediately, Xue Qingrou is expelled from the family lineage as a warning to others."
"From now on, all of Xue Qingrou's actions will have no relation to the Xue Family."
"If anyone discovers evidence of her colluding with outsiders against the Xue Family, please report it."
"The Xue Residence will be immensely grateful and will offer generous rewards."
This notice caused quite a stir.
However, that had nothing to do with me.
I raised my gaze to look at the tall man in front of me.
"Ji Rufeng."
"What happened to your mouth?"
He touched the corner of his mouth and replied, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."
"Come here."
