Uncle, this palace is not going to sleep tonight

Chapter 419

In the moonlight, under the peach blossoms, Yan Zuimo's glass-like pupils reflected the soft light, and what she said in her beautiful little mouth was full of threats and calculations, but Hua Ningxi suddenly smiled.

"Good good! What a good Yan Zuimo!" Her soft and beautiful eyes were filled with praise, and Hua Ningxi finally understood that Yan Zuimo was definitely not something that a third-rate family like the Yan family could cultivate!

"So, are you going to say it?" Yan Zuimo smiled lightly while playing with the thin petals in his hand.

"What do you want to know?" Ignoring her fatal beauty at the moment, Hua Ningxi leaned back on the rockery, crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows.

"Lan Shiji and Hang Qingxue, and the matter between me and Lan Shiji."

Hua Ningxi thought for a while before saying, "Lan Shiji and Hang Qingxue met 11 years ago. That year, Hang Qingxue was seven years old, and Lan Shiji was 12 years old... Lan Shiji was born in poverty. He even worked as a beggar. Later, due to natural disasters, he traveled to Yangzhou. When he was starving, only seven-year-old Hang Qingxue rescued him, and begged his father to accept him as a servant. Lan Shiji lives in Hang’s house. Two years later, she went to Gusu alone. Because of her extraordinary talent and good calculation skills, the current Hanqiu Villa was established in less than ten years. Two years ago, Lan Shiji proposed marriage to the Hang family and wanted to marry Hang Qingxue. I was formally engaged a year ago, and I wanted to get married as soon as possible... But, something unexpected happened..."

After a pause, Hua Ningxi glanced at Yan Zuimo, thinking about what to say next, but didn't want to, Yan Zuimo smiled lightly: "This so-called accident should have something to do with me, and it has something to do with Lan Shiji marrying me. no?"

Not surprised by her intelligence, Hua Ningxi nodded: "The Lan family's Hanqiu Villa is known as the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. Lan Shiji's calculations are precise, and she rushed to develop the North-South Canal eight years ago, controlling the hubs of the north and south of the river in one fell swoop, and fully developing silk, In salt merchants, grain and other industries, he has mastered the means and monopolized the industry, so he offended some people, including the Yan family in Hangzhou."

Seeing that Yan Zuimo was still listening without any emotion, Hua Ningxi continued: "Yan Zhong, the head of the Yan family in Hangzhou, was originally a wealthy businessman in Hangzhou, and he owned the entire silk and grain business in Hangzhou city, but the Lan family opened the door. After the canal, he drifted with the tide and followed the Lan family to use the canal to transport the goods from the south of the Yangtze River to the north for profit, but the news that he used old grain as new grain and inferior silk as top-quality silk reached Lan Shiji's ears, and Lan Shiji Cut off the entire Jiangnan merchants, not allowing anyone to provide goods to the Yan family. Yan Zhong resented Lan Shiji, and peeped at the wealth of the Lan family, so he ordered people to assassinate Lan Shiji several times. Wisdom prevented Yan Zhong from succeeding, and later, Yan Zhong poisoned him..."
