Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1322 - 1329 Helana’s Trick (3)

After finishing, Xiang Caiwei nodded to her subordinates and strode away.

"Miss, let’s reconcile the accounts," she said.

Zhao Yun, her cheeks flushed, tried to disguise her embarrassment with work.

Cai Wei looked at Zhao Yun’s flushed cheeks, laughed, and said, "Zhao Yun, your face is red."

Zhao Yun, awkwardly turning her head away, replied with embarrassment, "Miss, stop joking, let’s get on with the accounting quickly!"

Zhao Yun diverted the topic, still unwilling to directly confront her own feelings.

Although Tuoba Liang treated her extremely well, he had raced on horseback day and night for her, fought to the death with Liaodan’s dead men for her, and was willing to sacrifice his own interests to let her run the profitable business, all for her. He had even put aside the dignity of a Young Prince to please her...

But she still couldn’t accept his feelings. She was afraid, afraid that after giving her sincere heart, she would be betrayed; afraid that he was pursuing her on a whim rather than truly loving her; afraid that their emotional entanglement would interfere with their careers, which would be a disservice to the trust and cultivation she had received from her miss...

So, even though her heart was shouting to open up to him, and the tough shell around her soul was slowly melting for him, she still stubbornly resisted, not allowing herself to sink into these emotions...

Seeing that Zhao Yun didn’t want to discuss this topic, Cai Wei didn’t press further, merely smiled mysteriously and said, "Just wait and see, you won’t be able to hold out for long."

Having said that, she started to reconcile the accounts with her.

Since the opening of the commercial street, all of the income from the storefronts and the rent from the leased houses had been in Zhao Yun’s hands. She used it to pay the last two months of glass money owed to the Meng slaves. The total income was 46,713 taels, after paying the Great Kahn the owed glass money of 43,220 taels, 3,493 taels remained.

After verifying the accounts, Cai Wei didn’t take the remaining 3,000+ taels of silver but left it for Zhao Yun to give out as a bonus for everyone during the New Year. Everyone had left home and livelihood behind to come here and help her with the enterprise; of course, she had to show her appreciation.

Not only did she issue bonuses to the people sent by Nangong Yi, but she also instructed Zhao Yun to give a little to the families of the exiled guilty officials so they could feel some warmth in this harsh and cold place. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Zhao Yun put away the silver bills of 3,000 taels and grateful bowed to Cai Wei, saying, "Miss, on behalf of everyone, I thank you. To have you as our boss is our fortune..."

Cai Ping sat on the ground after being thrown out of the commercial street by Tuoba Liang’s guards. She cried as if throwing a tantrum, "Big Sister, do you really have to force me to death..."

The guards spat at her in disdain and turned to leave. As soon as the guard walked away, she scrambled up from the ground, quickly wiped away her tears, and sneered sinisterly. She hid several strands of hair in her sleeve and swiftly headed towards the king’s tent.

Helana Yan had already promised her that as long as she could obtain Cai Wei’s hair, she would be freed and also be given five hundred taels of silver to settle down.

She didn’t know what Helana Yan wanted with Mu Caiwei’s hair, but from the look in Helana Yan’s eyes, she could see that the lady hated Mu Caiwei immensely, even more than she hated her.

Therefore, wanting her hair definitely meant no good. As long as it would bring Mu Caiwei down, she was willing to be Helana Yan’s accomplice, even without the five hundred taels of silver; she was happy to. She could tolerate being tormented by Helana or abused by the men in the brothel, but she couldn’t bear the thought of Mu Caiwei, who had been so meek in front of her for so many years, climbing over her, especially after hearing that she had become the Empress Dowager of the Great Jin Nation, having married the Emperor whom she had pined for with unrelenting yearning, an emperor she could never forget even in death.
