After Lan Tiantian and Jing Ye saluted the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Today, the mourning family heard that the princess and the second brother made a joke, although the joke was a little funny, but after all, the princess should not be the same as the second brother, turn around, the mourning family asked the second brother to apologize to the princess, some small things, the princess should not take it to heart." ”

She said this lightly, and only took that incident as a joke.

Lan Tiantian said very indifferently: "I went to find Second Young Master Gu today, but I didn't joke with him, but he owed me some silk before, and I went to ask him for it today, and then I happened to meet a few businessmen who had been calculated by him on the way, and I asked carefully to find out what Gu Qingfeng had done to those businessmen before, so I learned from him and asked for the silver that belonged to me." ”

There was a hint of unhappiness in the queen mother's eyes and said: "The second brother has always acted very carefully, and where would he worry about ordinary businessmen, I think it is just those untouchables who want to take the opportunity to make trouble." ”

Lan Tiantian sneered and said, "Untouchable? Could it be that all ordinary people are pariahs in the eyes of the Queen Mother? ”

The Queen Mother knew that she had said the wrong thing, and her face was slightly gloomy, but Lan Tiantian had already handed the contract that Gu Qingfeng had written before to the Queen Mother and said: "This is the contract written by Gu Qingfeng herself, I am just doing things according to the contract, and I ask the Queen Mother to take a look." ”

The Empress Dowager took the contract and glanced at it, and then glanced at Lan Tiantian meaningfully.

Lan Tiantian knew what the Empress Dowager meant when she looked at her, and immediately gave a gentle salute and said, "There is a contract here, I didn't joke with Gu Qingfeng." ”

The Empress Dowager handed the contract to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager glanced at the contract and said, "It's just five hundred catties of silk, and it's too much for the princess to ask the second brother for 20 million taels of silver." Although the second brother did not hand over the silk within the specified time, he was indeed at fault in this matter, and tomorrow I will ask the second brother to send the silk to Lanfu twice, so it will be done! ”

"Nope." Lan Tiantian directly refused: "A person who is in business pays attention to a reputation, if he does not have a reputation, then he will not be able to do any business in the future." Moreover, Gu Qingfeng once used such a contract, and those merchants who did not pay off the balance in time, he did not return a single tael of silver. Gu Qingfeng was serious when he signed the contract at that time, and I was also serious. According to the contract, he will have to compensate me 10,480,000 taels of silver to this day, I am exempting him from 480,000 taels of silver for the sake of the Queen Mother's face, and I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous, and please ask the Queen Mother not to embarrass me again. ”

The Queen Mother almost exploded when she heard her words, and the Queen Mother said angrily: "How can there be such a contract? ”

"Hasn't the Gu Mansion always signed such contracts with other merchants?" Jing Ye said unhurriedly on the side: "I also happen to have some contracts that Gu Qingfeng signed with other merchants before, please take a look at the queen mother." ”

After he finished speaking, he ordered someone to present a large stack of contracts, the Empress Dowager glanced at him, his eyes were full of determination, and the Empress Dowager understood what he meant, and today he was going to deal with Gu Fu.

The Gu Mansion has been in danger of the imperial power over the years, and it is only a matter of time before Jing Ye wants to get rid of the Gu Mansion, and this time is an opportunity.
