Chapter 165: The Current Situation of Qicao Pawnshops

Back then, the rule that all the shops would take out a portion of the profits and divide them equally was set up to develop other shops.

That was why it appeared that these shops had turned hostile and were extremely shameless.

Zhao Sheng lowered his head and said, “Even Madam Su has given up on us.”

Su Yan did not understand why her mother ignored these circumstances, but she believed that her mother was definitely not the person who would give up on this shop.

She said sincerely, “I don’t know what my mother means, but I can be sure that she absolutely has no intention of giving up on you. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have put you in my dowry.”

Looking at Zhao Sheng, she asked seriously, “If you don’t want to change now, it’s up to you.”

Zhao Sheng was encouraged by Su Yan’s expression. The hot blood that had been buried in his heart for a long time suddenly burned up. He said, “Okay, I, Zhao Sheng, will fight with Princess Consort.”

Su Yan smiled and said, “That’s more like it.”

Yuyan, who was at the side, did not want to be outdone. He said, “Star Seizer Pavilion will also follow Princess Consort’s orders.”

Su Yan glanced at him and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t be lenient when I use you.”

Yuyan said in a flamboyant manner, “Princess Consort, don’t worry. I will definitely be more useful than you think.”

Before Su Yan could figure it out, a small figure suddenly ran over.

Nalan Cui pursed his lips and came to Su Yan’s side. He said, “Sister, I want to go out for a while.”

This was the first time he had requested to go out. Su Yan nodded and said, “Sure. Do you need me to accompany you?”

Nalan Cui shook his head.

Su Yan was in a difficult position. She was still worried about letting him go out alone.

Yuyan said at the right time, “If Princess Consort is at ease, I can bring him out.”

Su Yan was hesitating when Nalan Cui suddenly said, “Let him accompany me.”

Yuyan’s expression darkened when he heard this command.

Su Yan saw that the two of them were looking at each other, so she nodded in agreement.

She said, “I will send someone to follow you. An inner guard will protect you.”

She would not hide it from him. It was better to explain these things clearly.

Nalan Cui nodded.

Seeing them leave, Su Yan said to Zhao Sheng, “Can you tell me about your past? I need to tailor a plan for you.”

Zhao Sheng was silent for a moment. Looking at Su Yan who was working hard for Qicao Pawnshop, his eyes flashed.

His aura became a little strange, he said slowly, “I used to be a worker in the underground gem industry. I took a master appraiser as my master and then became the youngest judge. Later, I was wrongfully convicted of a gem and was hated by others, so I was driven out of the underground gem industry.”

He finished his story in a few simple sentences. However, his expression and the uncontrollable hatred in his eyes let Su Yan know that this story would not be so simple.

Su Yan still had a good impression of Zhao Sheng.

She thought for a moment and said, “If I let you return to your old profession, would you be willing?”

Zhao Sheng frowned and said, “The underground gem industry will not accept me anymore.”

Su Yan smiled and shook her head, saying, “Who said I want you to go to the underground gem industry? I want you to come to the surface.”

At this time, Zhao Sheng still did not understand. Soon, he would personally see Su Yan create a miracle for him.

After sending everyone away, Su Yan took out a land deed from her dowry.

This was an old house in the city.

A house in the city could not be bought even if one had money.

There was once someone who jokingly said that a house in the city was the throne of the Emperor, a symbol of status.

For many people to show their status, buying a small house in the city that was a few square meters was already very impressive.

Madam Su actually left a big house in the city for Su Yan. The Imperial Kingdom would be shocked if this news was released.

Su Yan looked at the land deed in her hand, and a plan slowly took shape in her heart.
