Chapter 1754: Requests from Both SidesEditor: Henyee Translations
Marquis Pingnan’s eyes flashed as he sneered. "No problem. So what if Mrs. Shao loses?"
"The marquis may propose one."
Marquis Pingnan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "If Mrs. Shao loses, you will no longer be in the sugar business from now on. What I’m referring to is any business related to sugar."
What he meant was that the Gu’s shop could not be opened and the Gu’s workshop could not use sugar.
Furthermore, if Marquis Pingnan were to take it seriously, even New Tea Pavilion would not allow her to have a share. After all, be it milk tea or pastries, New Tea Pavilion had a lot of sugar.
Gu Yundong knew that this person was not a good person. She looked up and met Marquis Pingnan’s provocative gaze.
"Mrs. Shao, how is it?"
Gu Yundong said, "This requirement is not fair. I only want a Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. This thing has a price, but you want to cut off my livelihood in the future and almost take away all my assets. But since Marquis Pingnan has made a request, it’s not good for me to decline it, but I want to add another condition."
"Please do."
"If I win, not only will I want the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, but I will also want Miss Han to kneel down and kowtow to me three times on the spot. She will apologize for her rude words just now and for ruining the medical conference!!"
As soon as Gu Yundong finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Marquis Pingnan’s brows were tightly knitted. He wanted to say something, but Han Ying, who could not stand the stimulation and only wanted to suppress Gu Yundong, agreed. "Alright, I agree."
Gu Yundong laughed. "Did everyone hear that?"
The old duke was the first to reply. "Of course. We all heard it very clearly."
Then, he explained the rules. "Madam Shao and Miss Han agreed that whoever completes 300 copies of today’s medical book in the shortest time possible, and the handwriting is neat and undamaged, will win. If Madam Shao wins, the marquis family will have to offer their precious Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus with both hands, and Miss Han will kowtow and admit her mistake. If Miss Han wins, then Madam Shao will no longer be able to run the sugar business."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone asked, "But there’s only one medical book now. How can we give it to two people?"
The secretary that had been organizing stuff looked up and said, "It’s fine. I’ve already made a copy with other two people just now. I happen to have two copies in my hands. Don’t worry, they’re identical."
As he spoke, he handed the medical books to Gu Yundong and Han Ying.
As soon as Han Ying received the book, she turned around and went upstairs without a word.
Not long after she entered the private room, Han Yao, who had not appeared for a long time, suddenly returned. His face was dark and he looked very violent.
Marquis Pingnan looked at him in surprise. "Where did you go?"
"When I went out, I met a rash servant. A basin of stinky water was splashed on me. I went to change."
As the son of Marquis Pingnan, it was not good for him to go out and meet people with stinky water.
Originally, he wanted to return to the private room and get the servants to fetch a change of clothes from the carriage.
However, there were many esteemed guests on the second floor. Because of the commotion caused by Han Ying, several private rooms had already opened and someone came out.
Han Yao had no choice but to let the servant cover him. He hurried to the backyard and found an empty courtyard to stay in. He asked the servant to get his clothes.
When he came back to the hall after changing, the matter had already developed to a point where he could not stop it.
