Chapter 29 Princess Consort, I've Grown Up to Protect You

Manager Chai was truly a shrewd businessman.

When Murong Jiu mentioned hoarding grain, he was immediately able to weigh the pros and cons and pinpoint the issue.

"Manager Chai, I'll let you in on a secret," she said. "I know an eccentric who can read celestial patterns. He says this rain will last for a full half month before it stops. While it won't cause floods, it will significantly reduce the harvest. This one hundred thousand taels will double by the end of the year."

Manager Chai and Lou Zixi exchanged glances, wondering if Princess Consort Ling had been deceived.

Who could be so skilled as to predict that it would rain for the next half month?

Murong Jiu knew they probably didn't believe her, but it didn't matter. She couldn't say she had been reborn; this excuse was more credible.

"This is just to warm you up, Manager Chai. The main event is yet to come."
