Chapter 282 New Notice
"That's nonsense. Everything I said is true." Yang Manman looked at Duke Yang, "Father, she is obviously afraid of you, so she wants to deny it."
When Duke Yang saw Jiang Suining being so calm, he was indeed shaken for a moment.
However, feeling the gazes of the people who had gathered around him, he could only continue speaking.
"Miss Jiang, our Duke's Mansion has always disliked using power to oppress others, but this time you really went too far. You spoke wildly and slandered us wantonly. If I don't let you suffer a little, I'm afraid that no matter what dirty water you throw on our Duke's Mansion in the future."
We must not retreat in front of so many people, otherwise we will be laughed at.
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Jiang Suining guessed what Duke Yang was thinking.
"It seems that the Duke doesn't believe me. If that's the case, it would be a waste of words for me to say more. However, Miss Yang threatened me yesterday, saying that no matter what I want to do with the land I bought in the west of the city, I will not be able to do it. If the Duke wants to use this as a lesson for me..."
Jiang Suining looked at Duke Yang and chuckled.
"I would like to advise you, Lord Duke, to think it over carefully so as not to cause yourself trouble."
Duke Yang had never heard Yang Manman mention anything about the west of the city, and he looked at her in confusion.
The latter felt guilty for a moment, but then spoke again.
"Father, you heard it. Jiang Suining is so arrogant. She just bought the land in the west of the city. If you don't know, you would think she is a noble. She even dares to threaten you."
Duke Yang's brows were tightly knitted together. Before he came here, he just wanted to give Jiang Suining a warning and didn't think about anything happening in the west of the city.
But the other party has said so much, and now there are so many people watching. If I don’t say anything, wouldn’t it be like I was frightened by Jiang Suining?
"How arrogant! It is not your turn to warn our government about what it does. Since you mentioned the land in the west of the city, I will say this first. It will not be easy for Miss Jiang to do business in the west of the city."
When the onlookers heard this, they all felt worried for Jiang Suining.
It seems that this has completely offended the Duke's Mansion. Even the Duke has spoken personally, and it really hit a wall.
Among the onlookers were several merchants from yesterday. They had originally wanted to come today to inquire about the situation, but after hearing what Duke Yang said, they looked at each other in bewilderment and instantly gave up the idea of cooperating with Jiang Suining.
Although they also felt sorry for Jiang Suining, since they had offended the Duke's Mansion and even the Duke had said so, there was no way this deal would be done!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Suining.
Yang Manman, in particular, couldn't wait to see Jiang Suining panic and finally kneel down and beg for mercy.
But to her disappointment, Jiang Suining not only did not show any signs of panic or nervousness, but was unusually calm.
Looking at Duke Yang who had just finished speaking, Jiang Suining shook his head and said.
"My Lord, I really don't know what Miss Yang said to you that made you so angry. But when Miss Yang targeted me yesterday and threatened to shut down my business in the west of the city, I did remind her with good intentions, just like I reminded you just now."
Seeing that Jiang Suining still looked innocent at this moment, Duke Yang couldn't help but begin to doubt the truthfulness of what Yang Manman said yesterday.
However, the words have just been spoken. If I take them back now, I would be slapping myself in the face.
After all, they are just merchants. Even if they have wronged each other, it is no big deal.
Thinking of this, Duke Yang continued to have a stern face. He was about to teach Jiang Suining a lesson and then leave. But just as he opened his mouth to say a word, he heard Shen Yanxi's voice behind him.
"I didn't expect the Duke to be here too. What a coincidence."
As Duke Yang turned around, Shen Yanxi walked through the crowd and came in front of everyone.
When Yang Manman saw the elegant and graceful Shen Yanxi, jealousy once again emerged in her eyes uncontrollably.
Duke Yang said, "Lord Shen, you came at the right time. I have heard that you and Miss Jiang are engaged, but this time she slandered our Duke's Mansion first, so even if I do something, it will only be a small punishment. I hope Lord Shen will not interfere."
When Shen Yanxi heard this, a puzzled look appeared on his face, "What is the Duke planning to do?"
"The Duke has just claimed that he will make it impossible for businesses in the west of the city to continue in the future," Jiang Suining explained.
"This..." Shen Yanxi frowned, "I'm afraid it's beyond the Duke's control."
Duke Yang did not expect that Shen Yanxi would say this, and frowned instantly.
"Sir Shen, although you are a young talent and a favorite of the emperor, our mansion will not be bullied by others..."
"My Lord, you misunderstood." Shen Yanxi shook his head and interrupted Duke Yang. "That's not what I meant. But if my Lord really wants to do something to disrupt the west of the city, then... that would be disobeying an imperial order."
"what?"
When Duke Yang heard the word "disobey the order", his face changed. After he came to his senses, he looked at Shen Yanxi suspiciously.
"Master Shen, please stop talking nonsense!"
What does this matter have to do with disobeying the imperial order? Shen Yanxi doesn't seem to be a confused person. Could he have fabricated such a thing just for a woman?
"How dare I talk nonsense? If you don't believe me, why don't you take a look at the notice over there?"
Shen Yanxi pointed at the wooden sign with the notice on the right.
Everyone looked over quickly and discovered that a new notice had appeared there at some point.
Soon, the people gathered around, wanting to see what was written on it.
Duke Yang and Yang Manman were very confused and walked over as well.
Shen Yanxi and Jiang Suining looked at each other and followed them.
After everyone saw the content clearly, Shen Yanxi spoke loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
"Everyone, Sui Ning is kindhearted. He knows that there are many refugees and beggars gathered in the west of the city, so he is willing to take the initiative to undertake the resettlement of those refugees and beggars. When the emperor learned about it, he specially posted a notice to commend him. At the same time, the emperor ordered that no one should deliberately destroy or hinder the reconstruction of the west of the city. Those who violated the order will be punished for disobeying the order!"
Shen Yanxi looked at Duke Yang with a smile.
"This notice has already been posted everywhere. I think it won't be long before everyone in the imperial city knows about it. Of course, if the Duke doesn't believe it, he can go to the palace and ask the emperor in person if this is true."
