Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World-Chapter 160: Angry Lian Luoqiu

Lian Luoqiu clenched her teeth as she sat for half an hour without being able to meet Cai Yixue. Not to mention, no one even asked her for a cup of water.

' That bitch…She is doing this purposely.' Lian Luoqiu bit her lips as she tried to calm down herself.

Suddenly, the door opened as Cai Yixue walked out. She wore a white dress with blue dove patterns on the ridges, With her white hairpin and stoic calmness, she was like a white lotus emerging from a clear pond.

" I hope I didn't take much time." Cai Yixue spoke with a light smile. " In fact, My husband and I were having breakfast and our usual morning romance."

" You know, marriage has its own…responsibility. But then, you might not know."

" Hoho, How could I?" Lian Luoqiu gave a forced smile. " Miss Cai must have already tasted the pleasure of martial bed. Unlike you, I am still a young bud of flower, waiting for bloom."

" But, I guess your husband is pretty romantic, visiting Phoenix Cloud Pavilion now and then."

Cai Yixue's face twitched when she saw the smug look on Lian Luoqiu's lips.

' This bitch, she knows I didn't sleep with Jia Hao yet?'

' How could I know? Cai Yixue is like a cold block of ice. She will never lay with a man.' Lian Luoqiu snorted inwardly.

" So, Miss Lian, How come you are here, in such early morning?" Cai Yixue spoke before her eyebrows jumped up. " Ah, Could it be regarding the fire incident in Niu Family's warehouse?"

" Well, It looks like Miss Cai is very well informed." Lian Luoqiu'sface twitched. " And yes, The silk the three parties had gathered has…burnt in the fire."

" How awful. My condolences." Cai Yixue spoke with a mild voice. " So, What can I do for you?"

" How about…Selling the remaining silk cocoons and cotton to us?" Lian Luoqiu spoke with a smile. " Since we have a shortage of silk, we shall pay you the usual market value of the remaining goods."

" Oh my, Is that true?" Cai Yixue was surprised.

" Indeed, We are also going to pay you an extra 10% of the total profit." Lian Luoqiu explained. " So, in the end, Cai Family would profit in the end."

" So, from loss to profit, huh?" Cai Yixue sighed. " Unfortunately, we don't have much stocks remaining. So, We have to negotiate on the price."

" Miss Cai, the initial price we gave was 100 taels of gold per three liangs of silk. And now, we are giving the usual 400 taels of gold."

" But we don't want it." Cai Yixue looked at her. " The new price is, A thousand taels of gold per three liangs of silk."

" WHAT!?"

Lian Luoqiu was alarmed when she heard that. " Cai Yixue, Have you gone mad? Do you understand how much are you asking for?!"

" Currently, Silkward Chamber has no silk to give to the imperial family. Even if the Shen Family and Niu Family pull all their resources, they won't be able to gather enough silk." Cai Yixue spoke calmly.

" So, Lian Luoqiu, the Cai Family is the only one who has enough silk cocoon for your business. Take it, or leave,"

" Yo-You dare to threaten me?" Lian Luoqiu hissed. " Perhaps you don't know, but I have received the grace of the Third Prince Li Yuan."

" You sure don't want me to pull strings for an imperial investigation, no?"

" Gold is never afraid of fire, Lian Luoqiu." Cai Yixue smiled. " Nor a righteous man is afraid of investigation."

" You are thinking of putting the charges of arson on our Cai Family?" Cai Yixue chuckled. " The Court of Magistrate is open. All you need to do is to lodge a complaint and show evidence."

" Magistrate Cai is very impartial."

Lian Luoqiu almost burst with anger when she heard that. However, thinking about something, she looked at Cai Yixue.

" I want to talk with him."

" Talk with who?"

" The one behind everything." Lian Luoqiu spoke with a deep voice. " Your husband."

" He has a proper name, Luoqiu."

" I…I want to meet Son in Law Jia." Lian Luoqiu gritted her teeth and spoke.

" Very well, I shall call him." Cai Yixue got up and left. After a while, Jia Hao entered the hall.

Lian Luoqiu's expression changed instantly as she wore a sultry smile, cupping her fist and bowing.

" Greetings, Young Lord Jia, This humble lady is from Silkward Chmabers. I believe you already know the reason for my coming."

Jia Hao raised his brows when he saw Lian Luoqiu. She wore an explosive red dress without any sleeves. The slit of her qipao gave an ample look to her slender legs and plump thighs.

Not to mention, as she bowed, the cleavage gave a nice view of her dark ravine.

' Damn, Did she come here to seduce me or what?' Jia Hao couldn't help but snort.

Seeing Jia Hao's gaze, Lian Luoqiu's lips curled up. ' Hmph, I knew it.'

" Young Lord Jia, Our Silkward Chamber is in quite a predicament. You already know about our loss. So, We are thinking of buying your silk with five hundred taels…"

" Minmin!"

Jia Hao shouted, cutting off Lian Luoqiu. Minmin arrived as she bowed. " Yes, Young Lord?"

" Where is your manners?" Jia Hao scolded her. " A guest is sitting here, and you didn't bring any tea?"

" I am sorry, Young Lord. I shall go and fetch some tea." Minmin bowed as she hurried to bring back some tea.

Lian Luoqiu felt a bit awkward when Jia Hao cut his sentence. " Thank you for the consideration, Young Lord Jia."

" So, How much price are you giving?"

" I think it's…Six hundred taels…Yes. Six hundred taels per three liang…"

At that moment, Minmin brought tea and placed it on the table.

" So, Young Lord Jia, Six hundred taels…"

" Minmin!" Jia Hao shouted again. " You only brought tea? Where are the snacks?"

" I am sorry, Young Lord. I shall bring them right away…"

Lian Luoqiu's heart turned cold as she looked at Jia Hao with a cold gaze.

" So, Miss Lian, you were saying…"

" I was saying, What's the price you want?"

" Uhm, Let me guess." Jia Hao thought for a moment before smiling. " How about a thousand taels of gold per three liang of silk?"
