The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

Chapter 162 Stealing Business

"Ah?" Guo Xin was stunned. He seemed to have not expected that the Third Prince, who was just talking about corruption, would suddenly turn to Zhao He, so he said, "Third Prince, I have been getting close to the Sixth Prince recently because of the military rations issue."

The Third Prince looked at Guo Xin with a smile in his eyes, then turned and left.

When he went to the palace that day, his father also mentioned this young lady. However, when she heard that she was the granddaughter of the General of Cavalry who had just been found some time ago, she lost interest. How could a girl who was not from a noble family be worthy of his younger brother?

But after getting to know her better, I discovered that this Miss Guo Xin was no ordinary lady. She had a suitable family background and was also pretty good-looking.

Although he is not from an aristocratic family, he has always wanted to support families outside of the aristocratic family. It would be best if Guo Xin and his sixth brother could become relatives.

……

"Miss, this is a letter from Suining City."

Guo Xin took it and saw five words written in red ink on the dark yellow envelope: "Sent to the General's Mansion, Guo Xin". This was an urgent letter.

When the eldest sister and her group left, they made an agreement with her that if there was an urgent letter that did not need to be delivered by express horse, they should mark the page of the letter with a red pen.

But after all, Zhier and Xier are both living safely in the academy now, and no one dares to bully the eldest sister anymore because of the matter concerning the General of Cavalry.

Thinking of this, he opened the letter much faster and flipped it open anxiously.

Guo Xin read through the book quickly and let out a slightly angry laugh. She was really enlightened. She had thought that Zhao He was her confidant, but he turned around and opened another mall across from her own mall.

It was wonderful!!

Taking advantage of her absence from Suining City, he chatted and laughed with her in the capital, lowering her vigilance and making her think that she had really found a confidant. He was worthy of being a prince.

Thinking of this, the rage in my heart grew, but I still suppressed my anger and read the letter. Slowly, my anger subsided, and I felt a little admiration.

Although the mall opened by Zhao He was opposite hers, it was not of the same type. Although it also absorbed some of the original mall's customers, it also brought in new customers.

The new mall was a toy city, which attracted many young men and women from wealthy and powerful families. However, they would always feel hungry after playing in the toy city for a long time, so they would go to her mall to eat. As a result, there was a lot more high-end consumption in the mall, which could be considered a mutual promotion.

Even though he knew the whole story, he still couldn't help feeling a little angry, and his fingers gripping the letter tightened and loosened again.

There was a knock on the door, and Guo Xin was a little confused. Didn't she tell anyone not to come over at this time? What exactly did the maids and servants in the yard do?

Just as I was about to get up to see what was going on, I heard a timid voice, "Sister~"

Xiaobao?

Guo Xin, who was originally annoyed, softened instantly. He opened the door and said gently, "Why are you here? Come in first. It's cold outside."

He Ningxin followed Guo Xin in. She looked up at Guo Xin, pinching the corner of her clothes with her fingers, and asked timidly, "Sister, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Can you play with me?"

Guo Xin looked at He Ningxin with some confusion. The two sisters used to be the best of friends and inseparable. Even when they first got to know each other, she wasn't so cautious, right?

What on earth had happened? It was just a simple invitation for the Lantern Festival, but he was so unfamiliar. He pulled He Ningxin's hand to his knees and said with a smile: "Of course I can accompany you for a Lantern Festival. Not to mention the Lantern Festival, I will accompany you for whatever you want. But why are you so unfamiliar all of a sudden?"

He Ningxin hooked Guo Xin's hand with her pinky finger and said, "Sis, because I have changed here, I am afraid that you have changed too, and you don't love me as much as before. Besides, you have new brothers and sisters now, and you also have a sister, I am afraid..."

Before she finished speaking, Guo Xin gently tapped He Ningxin's forehead, then held up He Ningxin's little face and asked, "How is it, am I still your sister now? No matter what I become, no matter what you become, you are my favorite sister."

He Ningxin stared at Guo Xin blankly and murmured, "This is the move you like to play with me the most, you still remember it! But... have you ever played it with others?"

Seeing that He Ningxin still felt so insecure, Guo Xin wondered if the end of her previous life had hurt her too much, so she said, "This action is exclusive to Xiaobao. No one can surpass you. You are my favorite and most beloved sister, whether in the previous life, this life, or the next life, forever!"

Hearing this, He Ningxin put away her cautiousness, raised her smiling face, looked at Guo Xin with curved eyebrows, and asked: "Sister, when I knocked on the door just now, I felt that you were a little angry. I wonder if it was my illusion?"

Guo Xin handed the letter to He Ningxin and said, "I was a little angry when I read the letter just now. Didn't I build a shopping mall in Suining City? It was the same as the one we had in our previous life during the peaceful times. Then someone opened a similar shopping mall across from me and snatched away some of my customers."

"That person is the Sixth Prince Zhao He who has been busy with me in the workshop recently on the instant noodles. After spending these days together, I originally thought that he was a really good person and might be my confidant. Who would have thought that he would stab me in the back?"

"Even if the mall turned out to be just a toy mall, I would still be very angry. After all, he never mentioned this to me for so many days."

He Ningxin had also heard of Guo Xin's mall. After all, in their spare time these days, the He family had been using their sister's deeds as a topic of conversation to educate their younger generations.

"Sister, maybe he forgot about it. After all, he is the prince. These things should be done by the people below him, right? And in fact, if you think about it, it would be good if he opened this toy mall, because even if he didn't, there would definitely be others who would imitate our mall."

"By then, our mall may be played dirty tricks by others, but if the Sixth Prince, whom we are familiar with, is now very close to my sister, we can ensure that we can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."

Guo Xin sighed and said, "That's the reason, but I still feel a little resentful. It's not that I don't want him to open a mall, but I feel like I've been stabbed in the back. Even if it was done by my subordinates, it's impossible that they didn't know anything about it, right?"

He Ningxin hugged Guo Xin and said, "Maybe you have forgotten. Don't think about it."

"Miss, the Sixth Prince sent someone to tell you something." The maid called out from outside the room, "Is it convenient for you now?"
