Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice

Never mind, you’ll know once you meet him.

"Take Miss Jiang to the living room. This princess will be there later."

Tao Yuwei put down the spoon in her hand and ate two more meat buns. After eating, she went to the reception room.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw the heroine Jiang Siyan wearing a green dress and looking a little anxious.

"Si Yan greets Princess An Le. It's a bit rash of Si Yan to come here this time, so please forgive me, Princess An Le!"

Jiang Siyan bowed, a hint of nervousness on her gentle face.

"No need to be polite. I wonder why Miss Jiang is here?"

Tao Yuwei really wanted to know her purpose.

After all, we are not familiar with each other and we are not sure what the other party wants, so we might as well just ask directly.

After Jiang Siyan stood up, she carefully discussed, "Princess Anle, I have a good business here, and I want to partner with you. You only need to invest half of the capital."

She took a small jar from the maid behind her, held it in front of Tao Yuwei, opened the lid of the jar, and Tao Yuwei could see clearly what was inside.

"It's sugar!"

Hear the words.

Jiang Siyan suddenly raised her head and her eyes suddenly lit up when she looked at Tao Yuwei.

"As expected of Princess Anle, you guessed it right away."

The wealthy families in Beijing are indeed different. They are well-informed and experienced. As soon as she took the things out to show them, they guessed what it was.

"This secret recipe for making sugar was passed down from my maternal grandfather. My maternal grandfather had only one daughter, my mother. Now that both my maternal grandfather and mother are gone, this recipe has fallen into my hands. I am very short of money, so I really want to make sugar before I get married and have my own business. After I get married, I will also have my own confidence."

When she was a child, not long after her mother passed away, her father, a clerk in a small county town, could not wait to marry the concubine's daughter of a wealthy official.

For many years, as the eldest daughter of the family, she had lived an extremely hard life and was always short of money.

Now that she has finally grown up, she heard two days ago that her good stepmother is planning to marry her off to a powerful old man as a concubine in exchange for benefits for her father.

When her stepmother brought up this matter, her father nodded in agreement without even thinking about it.

This cannot go on any longer, she must find a way to become stronger, rich, and have a backer, so that she can escape from their control.

"So, you are looking for me to invest in you?"

Tao Yuwei understood Jiang Siyan's purpose.

The heroine is short of money and hopes that she will invest in the business and start a business together.

Everyone is short of money, and she is short of it too.

Last night, Dad threatened her with silver to show up.

If she had more money, she wouldn't be controlled by others.

Very good, if there is money to be made, of course she will invest it.

White sugar is a rare commodity in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once it is produced in large quantities, it can definitely be sold at a good price.

She found that the main type of sugar on the market is still maltose.

The raw material is boiled from wheat, and white sugar is only produced in some areas in the southern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Have you found the ingredients needed to make sugar?"

As soon as Tao Yuwei said this, Jiang Siyan became more determined to choose Tao Yuwei as her partner.

Princess Anle seems to be quite knowledgeable, and her status is also quite prominent. If we make her a partner, the sugar-making business will have no problem finding sales in the future.

When doing business, we don't have to worry about some short-sighted people causing trouble.

Maybe at the critical moment, he could help her suppress that unscrupulous father who was determined to marry her to an old man.

Jiang Siyan came to Tao Yuwei for investment, and made the decision after careful consideration.

In the capital, apart from Princess Anle whom she met at the Left Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, no other noble lady was willing to pay attention to her.

The reason why she was able to visit the Zuo Xiang’s residence was because of her kind stepmother, who spent money and went around to get the invitation.

Originally, it was just to allow the stepsister to go to such occasions and make more friends with some prestigious girls. But her father felt that it was inappropriate to just let the stepsister go out to play. If it got out, it would damage her reputation and hinder her future promotion.

Her stepmother had no choice but to let her go out with her sister.

"Yes, the only dowry my mother had left was a farm in the southern suburbs of Beijing. I had 50 acres of sugarcane planted there."

Afraid that she would not believe it, Jiang Siyan quickly introduced, "This year's sugarcane has been planted in February. I can take Princess Anle to see it in person."

After hearing this, Tao Yuwei's eyes lit up.

Very good, this year's sugarcane has been planted. In order to ensure the safety of her investment, she has to go to the farm in the suburbs of Beijing with the other party.

"Okay, this business is of great interest to me. Come to my house in two days and we'll go take a look at your farm. After you come back, I'll consider investing. How about that?"

It is true that Tao Yuwei likes money, but she is too lazy to do business herself.

She likes the kind of business where she can get dividends every month without having to participate in the business.

In this way, she can just lie down at home and still earn money.

Jiang Siyan nodded excitedly.

With her own hard work, she was able to make this sugar business work.

However, she had no backing, so it was very difficult for her to get a share of the business in Beijing.

Even if she managed to build up the sugar business on her own, it would be eaten up by those with deep backgrounds, leaving nothing behind.

Who knows, not only might he steal her secret recipe, but he might also bring her down.

This visit was quite fruitful. Jiang Siyan had made friends with Princess Anle.

Just like that, after seeing Jiang Siyan off, she remembered that she had promised Xiao Lichen that she would visit Prince Yong's mansion today.

She quickly ordered the maid Bai Shuang to go to the storehouse to prepare some gifts, and then she led her people out of the mansion in a hurry.

By the time she arrived at the gate of Prince Yong's mansion, it was almost noon.

Alas, getting up late means you are more likely to be late.

But who made her unable to get up?

Outside the gate of Prince Yong's mansion, the maidservant beside the princess had already come out to greet her personally.

Seeing her, the maid was extremely happy.

"Princess Anle, my princess has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me into the palace."

Led by the head maid, Tao Yuwei entered Prince Yong's mansion, which was decorated with exquisite carvings and numerous buildings.

Along the way, Tao Yuwei kept praising Prince Yong's wealth in her heart.

Prince Yong Xiao Deyi is the younger brother of the current emperor. He has been in charge of the Northwest Army for many years and controls one-third of the military forces of the Great Zhou. His wealth is also among the best in the Great Zhou.

How could his mansion not be luxurious?

Tao Yuwei looked around openly along the way, not worrying at all about being talked about for being petty.

When she came to Prince Yong's Mansion, she treated it as a trip.

It would be a waste not to see these free scenery.

The gardens and rockeries in the courtyard were extremely exquisite, with pleasant scenery. She felt that they were even more tranquil than the Imperial Garden of Emperor Jianchang.

After passing through countless corridors, Tao Yuwei, led by the palace maid, arrived at a pavilion in a garden.

She was finally going to meet Princess Han Lingyun of Prince Yong, and she felt inexplicably excited.

Beauties, she loves to look at beauties!
