Chapter 110 - 110 Commander’s Seal (2)

110 Commander’s Seal (2)

However, this new Shopkeeper He was even more arrogant and unscrupulous than Shopkeeper Sun, and he did not take the vendors on the streets seriously.

The matter of saving the child had long been forgotten. Now that it was rarely mentioned, even if Jin Ji really chased her, the “big hero”, away, they would not receive much abuse.

It was said that the business world was like a battlefield. Compet.i.tion was a life-and-death relationship. Moreover, a new position holder would be eager to prove his worth. Manager He would not follow Manager Sun’s rules.

He wanted to set his own rules.

!!

Liu Ping sighed secretly. Just now, he was still amazed at how well Daya’s business was doing. Who knew that she would get into big trouble with Jin Ji?

If they could not set up a stall near Jin Ji, the customers they had painstakingly acc.u.mulated would be lost.

Daya must be very sad, right? Liu Ping looked at Su Xiaoxiao, but to his surprise, Su Xiaoxiao’s expression was very calm.

Su Xiaoxiao was indeed not too shocked. From the day she decided to set up a stall near Jin Ji, she had expected this day.

If they did not want to attract the attention of Jin Ji, they could only run an unsuccessful business. Once their business became popular, it would definitely cause Jin Ji to chase them away.

In the past, Manager Sun did not chase her away. Other than the fact that she was still in the limelight when she saved Jin Ji’s customer, the other two reasons were that she did not sell much and did not s.n.a.t.c.h many high-quality customers.

Today, several big families visited her small stall. The old customers of Jin Ji were disappearing.

Even if Manager Sun was here, he might not be able to sit still.

In a way, their business was really popular. It was so popular that even Jin Ji was jealous.

In Madam Li’s words, this was not a bad thing. It was a precious whetstone that could hone her abilities. If she could survive it, she would be able to soar! If she couldn’t take it, she could only lie back on the ground and continue to be a pile of mud!

Madam Li came from a rural family and went to work in society before graduating from junior high. Her grandmother had told her many stories about Madam Li’s b.u.mpy journey. She said that Madam Li had slept on the streets, eaten rotten steamed buns, been a cleaner, sold bento boxes, been threatened by her peers, and been splashed with dog blood by her compet.i.tors…

She had even been stabbed and hospitalized…

She looked at Madam Li, who was dressed in jewelry and was even more elegant than a wealthy lady. She felt that her grandmother was making up a story to make her feel more sorry for Madam Li.

But she was a child. Why should her heart ache for adults?

Madam Li didn’t even feel sorry for herself!

From the looks of it, Granny might not be exaggerating. The b.u.mps that ordinary people had to go through to start from scratch were unimaginable. However, she was not afraid. In fact, there was a hint of antic.i.p.ation in her bones.

Wasn’t it just Jin Ji?

Trying to trample her down?

Dream on!

“Sister, are we still coming to set up the stall tomorrow?”

“Yes! Why not?”

If she had the ability to s.n.a.t.c.h Jin Ji’s business with her strength, they should not think about scaring her away with a few words.

She compromised this time. If she expanded her business somewhere else, she dared to bet that Jin Ji would still not let her off.

Therefore, why should she back down?

Liu Ping thought to himself, As expected of a bully. She was even bolder than a man. She really went against Jin Ji.

He was an honest person and never caused trouble, but Daya was his benefactor.

If Jin Ji’s fist smashed down tomorrow, he would stand in front of Daya!

….

At Wutong Academy, Young Master Xiang had nothing to do. He was wearing a fox fur coat and painting in front of the window.

Jing Yi sat silently at the side.

The young man gave off a high-spirited feeling when he was quiet.

Young Master Xiang glanced at him and glanced at his right hand. He smiled faintly and said, “You haven’t given away the brocade bag yet?”

Jing Yi’s hand that was playing with the brocade bag paused. “What did Cousin say?”

Young Master Xiang said, “Alright, can’t I tell what you’re thinking? You clearly wanted to give it away before the new year. Tell Cousin, did you not give it away, or did the person refuse and returned it to you?”

“She didn’t refuse!” Jing Yi said. After saying that, he realized that he had said it too quickly and said, “Who said I wanted to give it away?”

Young Master Xiang smiled and said, “If you want to give it to her, so be it. When did our Young Marquis Jing become so wishy-washy? Aren’t the two of you quite close? Why can’t you give her a gift? Did you offend her?”

Jing Yi said stubbornly, “I don’t understand what Cousin is talking about.”

“If you really can’t send it out, I’ll help you.”

“Why should Cousin help to give my own gift?”

“You admitted it, didn’t you?”

Jing Yi wanted to say something but hesitated. After a while, he said, “It’s just a return gift.”

“It is only a return gift if you gave it away.” Young Master Xiang pointed at his heart. “Whatever remains with you are just intentions.”

“Cousin, shouldn’t you be worried about yourself?” Jing Yi decisively changed the topic. “I heard that I’m going to have another cousin-in-law.”

This was the news that Hong Luan and the other two had brought back from the capital. The imperial edict had been issued.

He understood that his cousin did not want to marry his betrothed.

In a marriage between n.o.bles, everyone took what they needed.

While his cousin obtained military power, his in-law-to-be was also officially appointed the Duke and obtained the recognition of all the families.

This was probably the meaning of this marriage.

Seeing that his cousin was silent, Jing Yi regretted mentioning this topic.

“Do you have the whereabouts of the Commander’s Seal?” Young Master Xiang did not want to talk about the marriage.

...

Jing Yi said, “No.”

Young Master Xiang said, “I will need to recover from my ‘illness’ one day. I can’t stay in Qingzhou forever. It’s best to get the Commander’s Seal before I leave.”

Jing Yi opened his mouth and asked, “Cousin, is the Commander’s Seal really that important?”

Young Master Xiang continued to paint. “Without the Commander’s Seal, we can’t touch the Wei family.”

Jing Yi said, “The entire Wei family died in battle. There is only a young son left. What’s there to be afraid of?”

“Young son?” Young Master Xiang smiled. “You make it sound like you’re older than him. He’s a young talent. He was the top scholar at the provincial level by the age of 17. At the age of 18, he abandoned his studies and took up martial arts. At the age of 19, he beheaded King Hulie… He can go to the battlefield and enter the court. Jing Yi, don’t underestimate him.”
