Ning Fang glanced at Wanyun and said, "I'm just telling the truth."
Wanyun chimed in to support Ning Fang. "Husband, if you don't trust Sister Xiao Fang, then you don't trust me.
I've known Sister Xiao Fang since I was three. Would she lie to you?
If you're unwilling to help me, then forget it. I'll just go ask my father for help. I hear he's the richest man in Jinling!"
Lu Jingxing scoffed. "Rong An's paternal aunt is the Lady of the Sheng Family, and the Sheng family are the world's foremost silk merchants.
If cotton cloth becomes popular, the profits from silk will be affected."
Currently, there is only linen and silk. Because of this, even ordinary merchants and commoners would rather wear silk than coarse linen.
If cotton cloth were available, the noble families would likely still wear fine silks.
But ordinary merchants and commoners would almost certainly choose cotton cloth.
It's inevitable that profits from both silk and linen will suffer.
