Chapter 1300: 174, Dispute (Third Watch)

Drunken Immortal Tower, Zhao Hongsheng examined the accounts for the month and couldn’t contain his anger, throwing the book onto the ground, causing Shopkeeper Ling to tremble in fear.

"Shopkeeper Ling, should you perhaps explain to me?"

Shopkeeper Ling swallowed hard, forcing out a few difficult words from his throat, "Your Highness, it’s, it’s that Dong Tian. It just opened half a month ago and has already affected our business."

"Excuses!" Zhao Hongsheng scoffed coldly, his gaze on Shopkeeper Ling exceptionally cold, "Do you see me as a fool? Shopkeeper Ling, don’t think that just because you have worked here for many years, you can deceive me at will! Even if Dong Tian is making a good amount of money, it couldn’t possibly cut our Drunken Immortal Tower’s business by half!"

Shopkeeper Ling’s face showed difficulty, and he looked towards Yan Xiangkai.

Speaking of which, Yan Xiangkai was the real Boss of Drunken Immortal Tower. However, being the uncle of the Second Prince, he naturally used the Silver earned by Drunken Immortal Tower for this nephew.

"Hongsheng, don’t be too upset," Shopkeeper Ling was telling the truth. Don’t be fooled by the fact that Dong Tian had just opened, but their business is indeed doing very well.

Zhao Hongsheng frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with his uncle’s words. However, considering the uncle’s backing which included two taverns, he still suppressed his disdain, "Uncle, isn’t this just boosting the confidence of others and destroying our own prestige? Although I have always been at the palace, I am aware of the Capital city’s affairs. Wasn’t Dong Tian previously Yi Ran Residence? Even with Xia Zheng taking over, there’s no way it could impact our business this quickly!"

Yan Xiangkai’s thick brows furrowed even tighter. His nephew truly did not win his heart. If it weren’t for his deep affection for his sister, he wouldn’t bother with this nephew’s affairs.

Shopkeeper Ling quickly added, "Your Highness, there’s something you might not know, I haven’t personally tasted the meals at Dong Tian, but from what the young employees I sent there reported, the interior décor and the cuisine at Dong Tian are indeed unique. Not only that, but also their serving maids wear different clothing."

Thinking further, Shopkeeper Ling suddenly raised his voice, "Oh, that’s right! I also remember that Dong Tian has recently introduced a place called ’Dream Kingdom.’ It’s said that the items there are extremely beautiful, unparalleled, possibly, throughout all of Dayong. Additionally, this unique venue is only open on the fourteenth of each month, therefore they only serve one guest per month. Apparently, the guests of the Dream Kingdom have been booked until the end of next year, indicating just how booming Dong Tian’s business is!"

Yan Xiangkai had already heard about these things before, so hearing them again didn’t shock him much. But it was different for Zhao Hongsheng, who was hearing this for the first time, and he couldn’t help but wonder, "Has Xia Zheng lost his mind? With such a lucrative business, why not open daily instead of just once a month? He must be ill!"

Yan Xiangkai’s lips slightly curled in a mocking smile.

Shopkeeper Ling did not dare to laugh in such manner and respectfully said, "Your Highness, in my opinion, this is precisely their strategy. Because it’s not open every day, the customers are frantically rushing to book spots. Oh, that’s right, the Boss of Dong Tian is not the Second Young Master Xia, but rather a Miss Lin. I heard she is the Third Prince’s sworn sister."

Lin Yuan? It’s actually her!

Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng were almost inseparable. Had it not been for accurate information, everyone would have thought that this tavern was Xia Zheng’s, considering Xia Zheng had the capabilities and intelligence for it in their eyes.

But now it seems, Lin Yuan, this young lady, might be intellectually sharper than Xia Zheng in conducting business.

Zhao Hongsheng’s eyes dangerously narrowed, suddenly regretting his past decision to let Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng pair up. He might as well have taken Lin Yuan for himself too. Subsequently, Su Qiuyu would become the Main Consort, utilizing Su Zhe’s power to win over various officials in court. Tang Ruyan would be the concubine to assist him with strategies and thoughts. Lin Yuan would also be a concubine to manage his various taverns and shops, providing a strong financial backing for his grand plans.

Ah, indeed, quite a perfect plan!

Zhao Hongsheng was deep in this delightful dream of harmony when suddenly, Yan Xiangkai doused him with cold water, dragging him straight into an icy pit.

"Hongsheng, from now on, you don’t need to worry about the Drunken Immortal Tower, I will handle it. When you have time, do spend more time with your mother. The other day your mother sent someone to tell me, waiting for a good moment to speak with the Emperor, to arrange your marriage with Chunchun. Both of you aren’t getting any younger, and it’s about time to marry."
