Chapter 280 It was you who plotted against me?
"Madam An, Wan'er is going on a long trip, and I was worried you might need some money recently, so I sent it to you in advance. I even added some money myself to make up the interest for this month."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Jingwan had already gently placed a thick stack of banknotes in front of the wife of the Minister of Rites.
Seeing the stack of banknotes suddenly appearing in front of her, Mrs. An couldn't help but look up in surprise.
She looked at Shen Jingwan and asked, "Why are you going out all of a sudden? Where are you going?"
Shen Jingwan smiled shyly and replied, "It was the Imperial Concubine who ordered me to go to Changye to visit my cousin."
The wife of the Minister of Rites then pressed on, "How long will it take you to come back this time?"
Shen Jingwan thought for a moment, then shook her head helplessly and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in the short term. I guess I'll have to stay here until I return to Beijing with my cousin."
After hearing this, Mrs. An was shocked and thought to herself: Shen Jingwan will be in a different identity when she returns after leaving this time.
If you don't try to build relationships now, when will you?
What's more, ever since Shen Jingwan helped him to lend money at high interest, his life is much richer now than before.
I remember that back then, we only had a few stores, sometimes making profits and sometimes making losses.
However, after handing the money over to Shen Jingwan to manage, he could actually get a fixed income every month.
I didn’t have much money before, so I was hesitant to spend it.
Now that she knows the money is there and can make money every month, even her sisters-in-law say that she is much more generous now.
Mrs. An hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry to use the money right now..."
Before she could finish, Shen Jingwan quickly replied, "In that case, Wan'er will deposit your money in the Hengfu Bank. If you need money in the future, just tell me my name and you can withdraw it at any time."
Hearing this, Mrs. An couldn't help but look worried. She asked with doubt in her heart, "Of course I have complete faith in you, but can I trust the Hengfu Bank?"
Shen Jingwan smiled faintly and answered confidently, "The Hengfu Bank is owned by my cousin, and it's a time-honored brand. There are many of them in Dayong, so how can I not trust them?"
Shen Jingwan had often seen the owner of Hengfu Money House having close contacts with Wu Dequan, the eunuch beside the Third Prince. If she hadn't known this, how could she have dared to do this under the banner of the Third Prince?
Little did she know that everything she saw was arranged by Shen Chuning.
Madam An was struck by a sudden enlightenment when she heard her words. She slapped her forehead and said, "Oh! I remember now! When I went back to my hometown in Sichuan to visit my relatives two years ago, I did see many shops with signs saying 'Hengfu Bank' along the way! So this is actually the Third Prince's property. Now I feel much more at ease! Then, Lao Wan'er, you should go back and deposit this money at Hengfu Bank."
After saying that, Mrs. An smiled and pushed the stack of banknotes on the table in front of Shen Jingwan.
Seeing this, Shen Jingwan hurriedly reached out to take the banknote, stood up and saluted Mrs. An.
She whispered softly, "Thank you, Madam An, for your understanding. Wan'er will do it right away. However, Wan'er still has to go to Prime Minister Su's residence later, so I won't bother you any further to avoid wasting time."
After hearing what Shen Jingwan said, Mrs. An couldn't help but feel more trust in her.
She nodded repeatedly to show her understanding and arranged for the maid to send Shen Jingwan out.
In this way, relying on these words, Shen Jingwan visited all the families with whom she had business dealings in just one day.
Some people believed what she said and gave her their money without hesitation.
There is also a small group of people who are skeptical.
But after all, such people are only a minority and do not have much impact on Shen Jingwan's plan.
When Shen Jingwan learned that Changye also had a branch of Hengfu Money House and that she could withdraw money at will, she immediately took all the money she had and deposited it all into Hengfu Money House without saying a word.
……
"Is there any food in the house? I've been busy all day and I'm starving!"
As night fell, Shen Jingwan hurried back home.
As soon as she entered the mansion, she ran without stopping towards Ningfengzhai where Shen Chuning lived.
Cuiwei, who was guarding the door, saw Shen Jingwan barging in so rashly and was about to rebuke her, but before she could say anything, she heard Shen Chuning say, "Go and bring over that plate of milk cake."
After a while, Cuiwei put the milk cake on the table.
Shen Jingwan looked at the milk cake in front of her, which had a layer of dry skin on its surface. It was obvious that it had been left for a long time.
But she didn't mind these details and just picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
At this moment, Shen Chuning suddenly asked, "You're just eating it without worrying about it. Aren't you afraid that I might have poisoned it?"
Shen Jingwan was stunned when she heard this, then she chuckled and said, "Sister is not that stupid. She won't attack me in my own place."
After saying that, she took another bite of the milk cake in her hand and ate it with relish.
Shen Chuning narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Shen Jingwan, and said slowly: "You came to me in the middle of the night, it shouldn't be just to ask for food, right?"
Shen Jingwan swallowed the food in her mouth and replied with a smile on her face: "Wan'er has good news to share with her sister!"
Shen Chuning nodded calmly, then said softly, "Is Concubine Qin planning to send you to Changye?"
When Shen Jingwan heard this, her eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "How...how did you know that?"
Shen Chuning raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "How should I know? If I hadn't secretly sent someone to rescue Jiang Ping, how would you have had the opportunity to show off in front of me right now?"
"You were the one who plotted against me?"
