As soon as Zhen Jiang finished speaking, the third branch's Zhen Ren directly took over: "You say this business is in cooperation with others, and the snow salt and white paper are also produced by others."

"Then who is this person? You should at least know."

"Since you know, why do you refuse to say when we ask?"

"Also, this snow salt and white paper only appeared after you went to Jinyang last year."

"Then why didn't they exist before?"

"Brother, Fourth, am I right in saying this?" Zhen Ren looked at the two.

Zhen Jian and Zhen You both nodded.

Zhen Jian nodded and said: "Eldest Niece, we have no other intentions."

"Before, you said this business was with others. Fine, let's assume that's the case."

"But now, this snow salt and white paper have been sold for a year. You have already gotten enough of what you should have."

"As your uncle, and now the head of the Zhen clan, I certainly won't be too excessive."

"After all, this white paper and snow salt are yours," Zhen Jian said: "Our three branches don't want much."

"Of the profits, your branch takes forty percent, and the remaining sixty percent is divided among our three branches, twenty percent each."

"In this way, your second branch still gets the most, which can be considered your hard-earned money, Eldest Niece. Should Uncle's proposal be considered fair and reasonable?"

"Third, Fourth, what do you think of this distribution?"

The third branch's Zhen Ren nodded: "I agree. I have no objection to Eldest Niece taking forty percent."

The fourth branch's Zhen You also nodded in agreement: "Fine, let's distribute it according to what Big Brother said."

Zhen Jiang had not interrupted the three of them at all.

"Uncle, I have already said before that this snow salt and white paper are just a cooperative relationship."

Zhen Jiang repeated the words she had said countless times: "The Zhen clan only has about thirty percent of the profits from this snow salt and white paper."

"Everything I say is true."

Zhen Jian's brow immediately furrowed, and the expression on his face gradually became somewhat ugly.

"Eldest Niece, you are being somewhat unreasonable."

Zhen Jian said in a cold tone: "We have already made concessions again and again."

"Since you say this business is in partnership with others, then tell us who this person is. If there really is such a person and such a matter, then we will pretend we never said what we said before."

Zhen Ren and Zhen You also looked at Zhen Jiang.

Even her younger sister, Zhen Tuo, who was standing beside her, held Zhen Jiang's arm tightly and looked up at her.

Zhen Jiang pursed her lips and shook her head.

Back then.

Back when she was in Jinyang, she had already promised Duan Yu that she would not reveal the origin of this snow salt and white paper.

She understood Duan Yu's meaning.

Now, this snow salt and white paper had been sold to every commandery in the Great Han.

Sales were extremely good.

Almost everyone knew about the huge profits from this white paper and snow salt.

Given Duan Yu's status at the time, it was impossible for him to protect these two things.

So it had to be kept secret at the time.

Although Duan Yu was no longer the County Lieutenant of Jinyang,

since she had made a promise, she had to fulfill it to the end.

She already owed Duan Yu enough.

Even her life had been given by Duan Yu.

How could she reveal Duan Yu's name before he nodded and agreed?

Zhen Jian turned his head to look at the third branch's Zhen Ren and the fourth branch's Zhen You.

Both Zhen Ren and Zhen You nodded.

"Eldest Niece, since it has come to this, it is not that I, as your uncle, am using unscrupulous means."

Zhen Jian said: "I'll tell you the truth. The Inspector has mentioned this white paper and snow salt several times."

"It's just that we have brushed him off several times before."

"Eldest Niece, you must also be clear that the Zhen clan is no longer what it once was, and there are some people we cannot afford to offend."

"This white paper and snow salt are destined to be handed over in part."

"I came today to get an explanation for this matter."

As Zhen Jian spoke, he waved his hand at the Zhen clan's private soldiers behind him: "Come, send Zhen Jiang back to the family's fortified manor."

"Go, stop the caravan," Zhen Jian ordered.

Zhen Jiang's beautiful eyes widened: "No!"

"Uncle, if you do this, you will cause trouble!"

Zhen Jian frowned and said: "What trouble? If we don't give the Inspector an explanation, that will be the real trouble for the Zhen clan!"

"Come, take Zhen Jiang back!" ===== CHAPTER 593 =====
