Chapter 456: Chapter 459 Isn’t it too much?_1
On the other side, Chen Yiling was dragging Qiao Duo’er around the streets aimlessly. 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
In truth, as the epitome of a well-bred lady, Chen Yiling’s wanderings were limited to the perfume shop, Cloth Shop, and jewelry stores.
Xiang Bao Zhai was the most famous perfume shop in town, and a must-visit destination.
The shop was bustling with customers, and after the clerk presented some samples, he quickly went to attend to other patrons.
Chen Yiling sniffed a few types of perfume powders, some of them were overpoweringly fragrant, more suitable for courtesans.
She said disdainfully, "The quality of perfume powder here is really getting worse; Duo’er, you should hurry up and open your Duo Meifang. When you do, I’ll definitely be buying from your store!"
"That will have to wait until we’ve taken down Yin Zheng."
Qiao Duo’er spread her hands helplessly, as the best shops in White Stone Town were all in Yin Zheng’s hands, making it nearly impossible for her to get a share of the market.
Moreover, up to this point, the Yin Family was still continuing to swallow up other shops.
Such greed was unmatched.
Chen Yiling put down the perfume powder and said somewhat dejectedly, "Ah, who knows if Silver Moon has taken the bait today; when will we be able to completely deal with her?"
Qiao Duo’er comforted her, "Don’t worry, I refuse to believe she doesn’t have something she cares about."
"Exactly, my husband’s foundation has stabilized, and with your help, that old bastard Yin Zheng is definitely going to be unlucky!"
Chen Yiling clenched her fists; Yin Zheng’s downfall was what everyone desired.
Her husband always told her that evil cannot overcome good, and now Qiao Duo’er was saying the same thing; it must be true.
After leaving Xiang Bao Zhai, Chen Yiling, feeling tired, took a break at a teahouse.
While sipping tea, they resumed their talk about Silver Moon.
"How much do you know about Silver Moon’s husband?" Qiao Duo’er asked curiously.
"That man is nothing but a frivolous wastrel, expert at horseback riding, cockfighting, and reveling; but he is handsome and comes from a good background, so there are plenty of women who like him. Although Silver Moon lives with her parents, she still has someone to keep an eye on him; she must be unable to let go of the past."
Chen Yiling spilled everything she knew.
Qiao Duo’er nodded; Silver Moon’s inability to forget the past must be true, otherwise, she would have sought a divorce long ago.
Since that was the case, an idea suddenly came to her.
Feelings were always a woman’s most sensitive and vulnerable spot; as long as Silver Moon still loved her man, she couldn’t rise above it.
If someone instigated and caused Liang Hao to divorce her, where would Silver Moon’s rationality be?
But the specifics of this plan needed further discussion with Qin Longyun; the Yin Family had accumulated power over many years, one couldn’t act rashly.
Otherwise, if Yin Zheng were to act out of desperation, causing all his shops to close, what would happen to the townspeople of White Stone Town? They could do without jewelry and perfume powder, but not a day could pass without rice shops, mills, or general stores.
Qiao Duo’er shared her plan with Chen Yiling, asking her to convey it to Qin Longyun.
"Duo’er, how come you’re so clever?" Chen Yiling only had admiration for Qiao Duo’er; she figured she could never have come up with such a scheme in her lifetime.
A bit malicious, but certainly effective.
Qiao Duo’er winked mischievously, "When it’s all said and done, I want Xiang Bao Zhai, that’s not too much to ask, right?"
Even if Xiang Bao Zhai’s collaboration with Wind Liyang fell through, worsening the packaging and significantly reducing the quality of the cosmetics, the customer traffic remained astonishing, including many wealthy families, which sufficiently indicated the excellent location of Xiang Bao Zhai.
Qiao Duo’er had full confidence that as long as she could get her hands on the shop, Duo Meifang would surely replace Xiang Bao Zhai!
