《A Path of Business: My Loyal and Lovely Husband》


 C1

    Late summer''s evening, the cicadas'' chirping was still annoying. Jin Weiwei sat on the pile of weeds in the temple, covering her injured head while staring at the little beggar in front of her.


    Who would have thought that once she transmigrated, she would be lying naked in a broken temple with a man who only had a piece of cloth on him?


    As the proverb goes, transmigration is not scary, but I''m afraid of not being able to see through a good family.


    After searching through her memories, Jin Weiwei felt that she won first place in the lottery this time. It was fine to wear her clothes in a remote place, but the original owner was still a child that did not care for his mother. If she wanted money, she would not have face. The most frightening thing was that she was a fool!


    According to the original owner''s memory, today he was supposed to go to the same village to deliver the goods to the Feng Tu household, but before he was halfway there, he was suddenly swung by someone from the back of his head. When he woke up, he was already lying in this broken temple.


    Although this place was a run-down temple, it had an owner. The owner of the house was this beggar in front of them, and if the original owner suddenly broke into his territory, he would naturally be unhappy. The strange thing was, this beggar was also stupid.


    Although the original owner was a bit silly, she actually beat the crap out of a man and made him faint to the ground. Unfortunately, in the end, she was hit by the other party''s brick and died with a bang, which resulted in Jin Weiwei''s successful teleportation.


    "What the hell is this story ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei thought about it for a moment. She still wanted to see if the original owner had accidentally killed the beggar. However, when she flipped her hair around, she suddenly froze on the spot.


    Which beggar was so good-looking?!


    The hair was cut like a knife, the eyebrows were painted in ink, and the facial features were distinct and deep.


    Jin Weiwei swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously. She thought of something ¡ª peerless beauty.


    "How can you be a beggar when you are so good-looking? "I wonder if he died ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei reached out her hand. When she sensed that the beggar was still breathing, she immediately let out a sigh of relief.


    "It is a pity that he is also a fool. Otherwise, it is possible to say just who wanted to harm me ¡­"


    Turning around, Jin Weiwei wanted to take a look at this broken temple. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of messy footsteps came from outside the door.


    "I saw that girl walking this way with her arms around the beggar''s shoulders. It must be true!"


    "What a sin, to actually know how to steal people at such a young age!"


    "Sigh, that beggar''s body stinks. Why would she want to do that ¡­"


    "Both of them must be in this temple. The door is still closed in the middle of the day. Let''s go in and search!"


    The people outside were getting closer and closer. Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but tense up.


    From the sound of it, the one in the lead was Feng Tu Hu and her stepmother, Cao Shi?


    She said what was going on, she was actually waiting for her here.


    You want to capture her? None at all!


    A sneer flashed at the corner of Jin Weiwei''s mouth. A wise man doesn''t fight when the odds are against him.


    Just as she was about to leave, she caught sight of the beautiful beggar girl beside her. Jin Weiwei could not help but say, "If you fall into those people''s hands, I''m afraid you won''t live. Forget it, come with me!"


    She picked up the beggar and rushed out, but her footsteps had already reached the door. Pushing the door open now would only result in a head-on collision.


    "The door is locked from the inside."


    "Bang!"


    The door slammed. Jin Weiwei quickly turned her head back to check if there was any other way out. After looking around, she found that not only was there no window at the back of the temple, there was not even a dog hole.


    What should I do?!


    Were they going to be hunted down and killed right after crossing over? That would be too miserable!


    "Why is there no door?!" "If only there was a door!"


    However, as if in response to her words, the moment she finished speaking, a carved wooden door appeared on the solid wall.


    Its appearance was simple and unadorned, faintly emitting a dim light. It was completely different from the style of this run-down temple.


    Jin Weiwei was surprised. Where did this door come from? However, the danger was imminent. Without thinking, she pulled open the door and rushed out.


    In the next second, the broken door of the temple was knocked open by someone and a group of people rushed in.


    "Old Feng, you''re messing with us, where''s the slut that we agreed on?!"

 C2

    Jin Weiwei rushed to the door. With a glance, she saw a patch of weeds outside. She wanted to run a bit further, but who knew that after running a few steps, there would be a cliff in front of her.


    Jin Weiwei quickly stopped and looked down. There was a bottomless abyss down there.


    "What exactly is this place?" Outside the village, where did this cliff come from? "


    In the original owner''s memory, the village was located in a valley between two mountains. The broken temple was located at the village entrance.


    Turning his head to look, he was even more shocked.


    Where is the temple? Where was the village? Why was there only one door on a patch of grass?


    Jin Weiwei was a little scared. She wanted to open the door and leave as soon as she reached the door. However, she suddenly heard voices coming from the other side of the door.


    "Old Feng, didn''t you see the person enter? "Where is he?"


    Mrs Cao also cried out, "That''s right, where''s my daughter? Please speak up!"


    "I-I clearly saw them come in, can they still go up in the sky? How about we go somewhere else to look? "


    "What are you looking for? There''s nothing by the side of the temple," he thought. "Where''s the guy?"


    The crowd broke up in a clamor for a while and then dispersed. When Jin Weiwei heard that no one was around, she quietly opened the door.


    The door was still the same old temple. She let out a sigh of relief as she walked into the temple. When she turned around, there was no door left on the wall.


    There was only one intact wall, and the door had vanished into thin air!


    "What the hell is going on? Could it be the legendary ¡­ "Superpower?"


    Puzzled, Jin Weiwei touched the wall. When she lifted her hand, she realized that there was another person on her shoulder. He was so nervous that he forgot about this beautiful beggar.


    "He''s not big, but his strength is quite strong. It wouldn''t even be difficult for him to carry a man." As Jin Weiwei spoke, she put the beggar down. "Little beggar, in the future we won''t owe each other anything."


    It was already late and she couldn''t stay any longer. She had to go home and talk to Lady Cao.


    After following her memories home, just as she pushed open the door, a heavy object flew directly towards her. "Little fool, you slut, where did you run off to? I''m not asking you to go to Old Feng''s place to deliver something, why are you back now? "


    Jin Weiwei sneered inside. If not for her good luck and coincidentally found a magical door to solve this crisis, she would have been captured by Feng Tu Hu and Madame Cao today.


    Did she think that she did not know that it was all because of her, the Cao family?


    The original owner was a fool in the past, so he didn''t know anything about the two of them. Hehe, she would like to see what kind of storm this Cao would create under her, Jin Weiwei''s eyes!


    Faced with Madame Cao''s questioning, Jin Weiwei immediately put on an innocent expression, "I''ve always been at Uncle Feng''s house. He gave me good food and even told me to wait for him in bed. He''ll accompany me back later for fun ¡­" "But when he doesn''t come back, I''ll come back by myself ¡­"


    Madame Cao was stupefied.


    Home? Bed? Play?!


    "Good old Feng, old pervert, I''m not done with you!" Madame Cao shouted as she angrily slammed the door and left.


    "I wonder who exactly is the fool." Jin Weiwei looked at Cao''s back and smiled leisurely. She turned around and went into the kitchen to look for food.


    After tormenting herself for an entire day, she was starving. When she reached the kitchen, she quickly found the two steamed buns that the Cao family had secretly stored.


    During lunch time, she was given bran bran food by the Cao family, but she secretly ate such good food. Jin Weiwei did not hold back and quickly finished the steamed bun. Then, she started to clean up Mrs Cao''s things.


    "Bang bang bang bang!"


    Just as Jin Weiwei was done, Madame Cao knocked on the door and shouted:


    "Damned girl, open the door for me. Get out here and clear your mind!"

 C3

    Madame Cao howled like a sow, causing Jin Weiwei''s ears to go numb.


    "Bang bang bang bang!"


    There was another flurry of knocking, this time from Feng Tu Hu:


    "You stinking girl, hurry up and come out now. Speak clearly, I have never seen you before today!"


    Jin Weiwei looked out through the gap in the door and saw the two of them standing at the entrance. Madame Cao was even giving them a meaningful look.


    Feng Tu Hu understood tacitly, and scolded even more happily: "You damned brat, you have such evil intentions at such a young age, and you still want to frame me? What do you mean, come to my bed? I think you''re crazy for men! "


    "How can there be such a shameless person like you in my family!" Madame Cao also scolded him, while giving Feng Tu a flirtatious glance.


    Their curses quickly attracted the attention of the neighbors. Not long later, all of the village''s aunts and aunts, as well as the idlers, gathered outside her courtyard, waiting to watch a good show.


    Seeing that there were only three layers outside, Jin Weiwei raised the corner of her mouth into a smile ¡ª she was waiting for this exact moment.


    Explain clearly? Alright, since they want to be clear, then she will skin this adulterous couple alive in front of everyone!


    Jin Weiwei ran into the house and took out Cao''s broken things. She then dragged a bench and placed it in front of the gate, and stepped on it. Half of her body poked out from the wall, looking down on Cao and Feng Tu.


    The Cao family saw that she was still stubbornly refusing to open the door, yet now she was actually still leaning on the wall and looking at her with a smile that was not a smile. They were even angrier than before:


    "You tramp, first seducing your Uncle Feng, then going to sleep with a beggar, I think you''re a born pervert!"


    Jin Weiwei wasn''t annoyed. With a smile on her face, she shook her hand vigorously and threw Cao''s belongings out of the room.


    The package, which had been tied up at random, flew off into the air. Madame Cao''s belongings scattered like flowers in the sky. One of her red apron was even hanging from a tree branch, swaying in the wind, causing everyone to burst out in laughter.


    "Hurry up and get it for me!" Madame Cao''s face was blushing. While she was frantically packing up the things on the ground, she was also cursing the Feng Tu Clan.


    Feng Tu immediately jumped up to get it, but no matter how much his fat body jumped, it couldn''t reach his apron. In the end, he even fell flat on the ground, making everyone laugh even more.


    "Everyone, as you can see, my Uncle Feng listens to my second mother more. You don''t know, they often lie on my bed and whisper!"


    Jin Weiwei''s words were like a big stone thrown onto a calm lake surface. The crowd immediately burst into an uproar.


    "I already knew that there was something wrong with them!"


    "No?" Last time when I said that I saw the Feng Tu Family touching Cao''s butt, you still didn''t believe me? "


    "It''s really not worth it to replace Fatty Jin. Why did he reconnect with such a slut!"


    Everyone kept talking and quickly settled the matter of Feng Tu Hu and Cao family''s adultery.


    Mistress Cao wanted to argue a little more, but how could Jin Weiwei give her the opportunity to turn black into white? She continued to speak in a clear voice.


    "There is one more thing I must tell you today. This morning, my second mother told me to go to Feng Tu''s house to deliver the goods. Who would have thought that I would be knocked unconscious, sent to a rundown temple, and stripped naked just as I was walking along the road. Fortunately, the little beggar in the broken temple is a good person. Not only did he not bully me, he even helped me hide. Otherwise, I would definitely not have the face to meet anyone.


    At this point, Jin Weiwei pretended to sob twice. She raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes and put on a pitiful look:


    "If I die, this family will belong to her. My honest and pitiful father would be bullied to death by this wicked woman. "Sob, sob, sob ¡­"


    After hearing about this tragic event, the villagers'' mood immediately became agitated. Someone from the crowd suddenly shouted,


    "This woman is so evil, stealing men and harming girls, why should we keep her? "Give her up!"


    "Right, divorce her!"


    For a time, everyone echoed his words, and in the end, they all shouted together:


    "Let her go, let her go!"


    Jin Weiwei secretly laughed in her heart. It turned out that the people here were relatively simple. It was just a few words of coaxing, and they were already eager to speak out for her.


    She obviously wouldn''t let go of such a good opportunity, so she immediately announced that, today, she would divorce this bad woman for her father. From today onwards, Cao family would no longer be a member of her Jin family, and they were not allowed to take even half a step into the Jin family''s courtyard!


    The crowd clapped and cheered. Madame Cao''s face was as red as a piece of rotten pig''s liver, but Feng Tu Hu had already left long ago, and didn''t want to care about whether Madame Cao lived or died.


    Mrs Cao embarrassedly hugged her package, gnashing her teeth as she looked down on Jin Weiwei who was standing on top of the wall. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.


    "Little girl, come out. I want to fight to the death with you!"


    Crash! *


    Suddenly, a pot of water fell from the sky and thoroughly soaked Lady Cao from head to toe.

 C4

    Responsible?


    She had lived for more than 20 years and had always been a bachelor dog. Yet, today, a beautiful man came to her house to ask her to take responsibility?


    Was this the rhythm of someone committing suicide?


    Eh? Why was she still a little happy?


    "Cough, cough!" Jin Weiwei pretended to cough twice. "You, how do you want me to take responsibility?"


    This cough was so fake that it could not be any more fake. The little beggar retracted his gaze, and looked as foolish as ever. He paused for a moment before speaking.


    "You are responsible... Let''s not hurt here! "


    Jin Weiwei: "..."


    No matter how good-looking he looked, he was still a fool.


    However, they had already come looking for him. They definitely could not kick him out in the rain or in the wind.


    "Fine, leave it to me."


    Jin Weiwei turned around and went to the kitchen to take out the last white bun.


    "Here, eat and sleep. "Sleep in my living room tonight, I''ll treat your wounds tomorrow."


    * *


    Early the next morning, while Jin Weiwei was still asleep, she heard the sound of the courtyard door being smashed again.


    If this gate were to continue smashing down, it would eventually fall apart. She rolled over, holding the blanket and covering her head, wanting to pretend that she didn''t hear him. However, the little beggar ran in and lifted her blanket.


    "Someone is knocking on the door!"


    "What are you doing? I''m not deaf!" Jin Weiwei quickly pulled back the quilt to block her.


    She always had the habit of sleeping naked, but now all of it had been seen by him!


    The little beggar was stunned for a moment before turning around.


    Behind him, Jin Weiwei was roaring in rage:


    "Who told you to come in without knocking? Get out!"


    "Someone is knocking on the door ¡­"


    "That will have to wait until I''m dressed before I can open the door!" Jin Weiwei was annoyed. She grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, "Why aren''t you going out yet!"


    After putting on her clothes, she arrived at the door and heard Madame Cao yell for her to open it.


    "Damned girl, don''t hide in there and not make a sound. I know you''re home!" Mistress Cao stood in front of the door with her hands on her hips, "Yesterday you spoke nonsense and ruined my reputation, chasing me out of my house. Today, I''ve asked the Village Head to act as my judge. Open the door if you have the ability, and speak clearly!"


    "Yes, you come out, your second mother and I are innocent!" Then came Feng Tu Hu''s voice.


    Jin Weiwei was overjoyed. She did not expect that Feng Tu Hu would dare to come again. Was he not afraid that his wife would be angry? In the original owner''s memory, Feng Tu''s wife, Madame Li, was the village''s number one tigress.


    Thinking of this, Jin Weiwei rolled her eyes, pulled the beggar to her side, and whispered in her ear, "Silly boy, do me a favor. You will climb over the back wall and sneak out, bringing Feng Tu''s wife here. Do you know his house? Coming from the dilapidated temple, the first house to the left of the road, the one with the big wooden door! "


    With a squeak, the gate of the courtyard opened. Lady Cao, who had been standing guard at the entrance all this time, immediately stopped when she saw Jin Weiwei walk out.


    Not only did her arrogant attitude dissipate, she even felt a sense of weakness in her heart. She didn''t know why, but she had a feeling that not only was this girl not an idiot, she seemed to have become extremely powerful as well.


    "Why didn''t you say anything?" Tired? "Well, let me go on."


    Jin Weiwei looked around and saw an old man, who was originally sitting under a large tree, standing up and walking towards her. He was the village head of Xingtian Village.


    Jin Weiwei didn''t wait for him to open his mouth. She first stepped forward and respectfully greeted him, "Village Head, I''m sorry for troubling you to wait outside for so long. If you need anything, let''s go in first."


    After saying that, she took the initiative to help him into the house. Madame Cao, Feng Tu, and a few people who had been watching the gossip early in the morning also followed into the house.


    When the Village Head was seated, Jin Weiwei took two steps back and unexpectedly kneeled on the ground with a "plop" as she wiped away her tears.


    "Get up, get up, this child has suffered so much!" The village chief hurried over to help her up.


    "I hope that you, the village chief, can help me." As Jin Weiwei sobbed, she once again exposed the adultery between Mrs. Cao and Slaughterer Feng.


    Although the original owner was silly, he was fortunate enough to remember everything that he had seen and heard in his mind. Therefore, Jin Wei was very clear about the relationship between her and Slaughter House.


    Just as he was talking, the door clanged and Mrs. Li, Feng Tu''s wife, barged in. Obviously, she had heard Jin Weiwei''s wailing. As soon as she came in, she ran in front of Feng Tu''s house and gave him a slap:


    "How shameless of you, you actually dare to carry me and steal a woman?!"


    Feng Tu Hu was beaten to the point of seeing stars, but he still tried to argue: "I did not! Don''t listen to this damn girl''s nonsense! "


    "I''m not spouting nonsense. The day before yesterday, you gave Cao family a small silver lock. You said that you wanted to be a token of love to be locked together with her for life!"


    Madame Li was so angry that she cried out, "Alright, you coquettish fox. You want to live with my man for your entire life, but you just don''t put me in your eyes!"


    While they were talking, they had already pounced towards Cao Shi, and the two of them instantly started fighting.

 C5

    How could Madame Cao defeat the beefy Madame Li? Soon, her hair was messed up by her and her clothes were torn.


    Clang!


    A small silver lock fell to the ground. Just as Madame Cao was about to pick it up, Madame Li snatched it away.


    "Alright, this should be that unshakeable lock!" Madame Li grasped the silver lock and pushed it towards Madame Cao. She straddled her and cursed as she slapped her face, "I''ll let you be coquettish, I''ll let you be coquettish, I''ll let you be cheap!"


    Madame Cao desperately tried to call for help, but Feng Tu Hu hid to the side, not daring to step forward to stop her.


    "Alright, let''s go home and cause trouble!" Lady Li only stopped when the Village Head couldn''t bear to watch any longer and shouted for her to stop.


    Seeing this, Jin Weiwei knew that the dust had settled, and the adultery between the two of them was now completely solid. Thus, she went up to the village chief to ask for justice.


    "Village Head Grandpa, this Cao woman is too shameless. Yesterday, I already took care of her for my father, I didn''t expect her to still have the face to trouble you. You have to avenge me!"


    The village chief nodded his head, "Of course we should let this kind of woman rest. But if your father isn''t home, she can still be considered your elder. You aren''t even an adult yet, how can you make the decision to divorce your stepmother? This is against the rules, unless ¡­ "


    "Unless what?"


    "Unless you''ve already married into a family and become the head mother, then you can make the decision."


    Marry?


    Wasn''t this just making things difficult for her? Where would she find a ready bridegroom now?


    While thinking, she caught a glimpse of the silly beggar standing in the corner. Jin Weiwei''s eyes immediately lit up.


    It was him! Although he was a fool, at least he was handsome!


    Jin Weiwei took three steps and two steps to the little beggar. She grabbed his arm and declared, "He is my husband!"


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    "Aiya, this child!" "Marriage is a big affair, how can it be child''s play? This ¡­" The village chief shook his head.


    A child''s play? No, no, no, she, Jin Weiwei, would never do something stupid.


    Instead of marrying them, she might as well marry a fool. At the very least, she would be able to be obedient to him, and with his great looks, it would be worth it even if he were to be kept at home to nurture the eyes.


    "Village Head Grandpa, tomorrow we will get married!" Jin Weiwei answered firmly. Then, she pointed at Cao Shi and said, "Get out of here now!"


    Seeing that she had already made up her mind, the others didn''t care anymore. They all expressed their intentions of coming to congratulate her while watching this joke.


    Mistress Cao''s heart was as if it had died, but she also left with her tail between her legs.


    As the crowd dispersed, the little beggar slapped away the hand that had been holding him.


    "Why didn''t you discuss it with me?" His handsome face hardened.


    Aiyo, a fool actually doesn''t want to marry her. How could he make the decision?


    In her territory, he had to listen to her!


    "Alright, alright, alright. Let''s discuss, discuss." Jin Weiwei rolled her eyes and pushed him away. "But you look dirty. There''s a well in the yard. Go wash up first, then you can talk about other things!"


    It had rained last night, and it was too late for her to wash up. She looked again today, and sure enough, the little beggar was dirty and smelly. Jin Weiwei pushed him to the well, then turned around and went back into the house to find her father''s old clothes and gave them to him.


    As the little beggar was bathing, Jin Weiwei ran into the kitchen to make a soup of four dishes. She wanted to use the food to tempt the little beggar, but when she came out, she almost drooled.


    "My goodness, not only is her face pretty, her figure is also first class!"


    Even though he was wearing the fat clothes of a middle-aged man, he couldn''t hide his beauty. From top to bottom, he was extremely good-looking.


    Jin Weiwei was secretly elated. She first coaxed him to apply medicine to his wound, then served him well before she became serious and said,


    "Since you want me to be responsible for it and also ate my food, from today on, you must be mine."


    The little beggar was stunned.


    Didn''t we discuss it? What kind of discussion was this?


    "Besides, I have food and drink here, so I don''t need to drink under the sun. Isn''t it better than that run-down temple?" Look, isn''t it good for you to be so clean? "


    The little beggar looked at himself and felt that what Jin Weiwei said was reasonable. After hesitating for a moment, he finally reluctantly agreed.


    Thus, the ''marriage'' between the two of them was easily decided.


    The next day at noon, the Jin family courtyard was bustling with noise and excitement. The whole village came to see Jin Weiwei and the beggar getting married.


    Jin Weiwei greeted them enthusiastically while asking for money. From old to young, she didn''t spare a single one of them.


    Marriage was a good opportunity to make a fortune. Before she transmigrated, she had thought that she would never be able to take back her money. She never expected that she would actually be able to make up for it in this world.


    "Why haven''t we seen the bridegroom?"


    "He must be afraid of being ugly and not coming out to meet people."


    "He''s just a fool and a beggar. No matter how hard he tries, he won''t be able to do anything."


    Everyone burst into laughter.


    Jin Weiwei stared ¡ª her bridegroom was ugly? Hmph, I''ll blind their titanium dog eyes later!


    Jin Weiwei stood in the middle of the yard and clapped her hands three times. Everyone immediately quieted down.


    "Next, please welcome my handsome and elegant bridegroom!"


    The little beggar''s mouth twitched as he slowly walked out of the room. When the people outside saw him, they immediately cried out in alarm.

 C6

    "This, this is that foolish beggar?!"


    "Oh my god!" "Why is he so good-looking!"


    "I didn''t expect that the silly girl from the Jin family could pick it up so cheaply!"


    In the midst of everyone''s questions and cries of surprise, Jin Weiwei pulled the little beggar to her side and happily kowtowed to heaven and earth. She then treated everyone to a casual meal and drank a little, making it a success.


    Jin Weiwei ordered the guests to leave. Under everyone''s reluctant gaze, she pulled her groom into the house.


    After driving out her stepmother and becoming married, Jin Weiwei naturally became the head storekeeper of the Jin family''s butcher shop.


    He didn''t expect that even though he had transmigrated to this remote area, he was still considered a reputable family in the village. This was because not only did their family have a butcher''s shop, but also a small animal pen. Unfortunately, in the past two years, she had been defeated by the Cao family, leaving behind only two skinny lambs.


    She wanted to revive the Jin family meat shop!


    Jin Weiwei began to calculate.


    First, he would raise a few fat sheep of his own, ensuring the freshness and quality of the meat shop''s supplies. Afterwards, he would think of a way to enlarge the size of the animal pen, reduce its cost, form a dragon that could be produced and sold.


    Money wasn''t everything, but not having money was absolutely out of the question. Since she hadn''t transmigrated to a good family, then she would work hard to make a good life for herself!


    There were still two lambs in the family circle, and they could sell meat for a while, but the lambs had to be bought quickly, or else the butcher would run out of money.


    The next day happened to be the market day in town, so she took the little beggar with her, along with the small amount of silver she had plundered from Madame Cao, and excitedly went to the market to buy livestock.


    The fragrance of the birds and flowers along the way was very pleasing. It was just that Jin Weiwei was a bit bored by the little beggar''s silence.


    "Hey little beggar, what''s your name? We are now husband and wife, I can''t possibly keep on calling her a beggar, right? "


    The little beggar ignored her and continued his journey with his head down.


    "You''re not talking? Then no name. Since you are already my man, how about I give you a name? "


    What should he call it?


    Jin Weiwei thought for a moment. In the future, she was going to be the big boss of a chain store. He talked about it every day as if it was an inspiration.


    That''s right, he would be called Fugui, Xiao Fugui!


    The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She jumped up and slapped the beggar, then shouted, "Little Fugui, from now on, you''re called Little Fugui!"


    Even after receiving such a ''joyous'' name, the little beggar didn''t have much of a reaction. He only rolled his eyes at her before continuing on his way in silence.


    The two of them travelled quickly, and before long, they arrived at the town and headed straight for the market.


    It was a pity that the small market had no other options. There was only one animal seller, and when he asked for the price, the seller asked for eight taels of silver for a small lamb.


    "Why is it so expensive?" "A bit cheaper, a bit cheaper!"


    Jin Weiwei touched the silver taels in her pocket. She rubbed the silver taels until her mouth was dry. Finally, the seller lowered the price to six coins.


    But before Jin Weiwei could take out the money, a fat figure pushed her to the side.


    "Boss, I''ll take all seven coins!"


    Jin Weiwei turned her head to look at him. Heh, it was indeed a gathering of enemies. The one who had come was none other than her nemesis and competitor, Feng Tu Hu.


    MMP, how dare he compete with his grandaunt!


    Jin Weiwei pushed away Feng Tu''s house and stuffed the money into the seller''s arms. "Boss, we have a deal!"


    The seller looked at Feng Tu''s house and returned the money back to her with a fake smile: "Miss, it''s just a business deal, the highest bidder gets it."


    Sly business! He had broken his promise!


    Jin Weiwei was getting anxious. "Boss, you''re being dishonest. I don''t care how much you sell him for, but we''ve agreed on a price. How can you not keep your word in the business?"


    The seller smacked his lips, "Since you say so, then I will sell them to you at the price we agreed on earlier. However, you didn''t say that you wanted a few. I will only sell one to you, so it''s not really a bad credit."


    Sly! Very cunning.


    Feng Tu, who was standing at the side, laughed. He proudly looked at Jin Weiwei while saying deliberately, "Boss, what are you talking about? Hurry up and count me so you can pay!"


    Jin Weiwei hesitated before gritting her teeth, "Seven and a half!"


    How could she let him have a monopoly over the stock of goods? If he lost, he wouldn''t lose, he would have to snatch it.


    Who knew that Feng Tu Hu would laugh: "Don''t embarrass yourself here without silver taels, pay back seven and a half, and add half and a half to the price. If you don''t feel embarrassed, then I will complain about your disgrace to our Xingtian Village!"


    The seller was overjoyed. So these two people were from the same village. This was great, since they were bidding on each other, he would definitely be able to make a huge profit today!


    So he looked at Feng Tu Hu and said: "This girl will pay seven and a half dollars, do you want to increase the price or not!"


    How could Feng Tu Hu lose to Jin Weiwei, so he immediately added, "Add!" "I''ll pay you eight!"


    Jin Weiwei''s face sank. As soon as her head got hot, she decided that she would have to settle the score with this Feng Tu Hu today.


    Thus, he didn''t show any weakness and followed up by shouting, "I''m going to ¡­" "One tael!"


    As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Weiwei was a bit regretful. This price couldn''t be raised any further. If it was added down, she wouldn''t have that much money. Besides, it didn''t seem to be worth it.


    Before she came here, she only roughly knew the approximate price of a lamb, but how exactly was the balance between the price of a lamb, the cost of feeding it, and the price it could be sold after slaughter? How much more than silver would result in a loss?


    On the other side, the "rich and overbearing" Feng Tu Clan did not have any concerns, and they directly raised the price: "I bid one or two!"


    "I, I''ll give ¡­" Just as Jin Weiwei was about to increase the price, little Fugui suddenly reached out his hand and gently pinched her.


    Jin Weiwei was startled.


    Turning his head to look, he saw a trace of light suddenly appear in the unperturbed eyes of little Fugui and he even shook his head slightly at her.


    Jin Weiwei''s heart was slightly moved ¡ª ¡ª Hey, this little rich kid, could it be that he knows how to settle accounts?


    Was he reminding himself not to raise the price?


    Although Jin Weiwei was quite smart, she couldn''t figure out the relationship between them in a short period of time. However, seeing the assured expression on little Fugui''s face, she immediately made up her mind to listen to him.


    Feng Tu Hu was still mocking him, "What did you say, hurry up and bid. What, you don''t dare?"


    "Who says I don''t dare?" Jin Weiwei raised her eyebrows. "How much did you offer?"


    "One to one!"


    "Alright, then I''ll go out and ¡ª"


    Jin Weiwei deliberately dragged it out. Both Feng Slaughterer and the seller were waiting for her to bid, but in the blink of an eye, Pearl suddenly stuffed the silver in her hand into the seller''s hands.


    "No matter how much I pay, I''ll give you the silver first. In any case, I will definitely win in the end!"


    Feng Tu immediately panicked. He took out some silver and shoved it into the seller''s hand before Jin Weiwei could.


    "I also have money, this lamb must be mine!"


    However, after his silver was stuffed into the seller''s hand, Jin Weiwei''s hand suddenly stopped in midair.


    The seller was surprised, "Little girl, didn''t you want to give me money?"


    Jin Weiwei chuckled, "I suddenly don''t want to buy anymore. Since this guy already offered a price, you can sell it all to him!"


    The seller and Feng Tu Hu were both shocked.


    This damned girl, what the hell was she doing?


    Although he didn''t understand, he still had to do the business. Moreover, the price had already been agreed upon and the silver had already been paid. Feng Tu Hu had no choice but to buy the lamb at one to two dollars'' worth.


    The silver he brought today was naturally not enough to buy all of the lambs, and the remaining silver was actually cheap for Jin Weiwei. In the end, the seller sold it to her at the agreed price of six yuan, and she and little Fugui happily rushed the sheep home.

 C7

    "Damn fatty, you''re good at hooking up with women, isn''t that what you pay for when you do business?!" You''re not even comparable to a pig! "


    At Feng Tu Hu''s house, Madame Li howled while beating up Feng Tu Hu.


    When he got back to the market that day, he found out that the lambs had lost their money, and Madame Li was angry at him for losing it.


    "What are you guys blanking out for? Hurry up and feed the sheep!" Madame Li kicked Feng Tu Hu to the ground.


    Feng Tu Hu didn''t dare to say anything. He quickly ran to the sheepfold to feed the sheep. His hand was holding onto the grass, but his heart wished he could cut off Jin Weiwei.


    Who knew that all of a sudden, a little sheep that was eating grass started to vomit without any warning. Feng Tu Hu turned pale with fright and quickly pulled the sheep out of the pen.


    He opened his eyes and saw that they were yellow and gloomy. He knew something was wrong ¡ª this couldn''t be a plague, right?


    "Damned girl, if it wasn''t for you playing tricks on laozi, laozi wouldn''t have spent so much money and would have even more so bought a sick sheep without paying attention!"


    The more Feng Tu thought about it, the angrier he got. He cursed the eighteen generations of Jin Weiwei''s ancestors over and over again, but he also felt sorry for his money.


    However, as he gazed at the sick little lamb, he suddenly had a thought that could punish Jin Weiwei ¡­


    * *


    In contrast to Feng Tu''s family, the business of the Jin family meat shop had been booming every day for the past two days. Due to the fact that the little rich and rich were handsome, word had quickly spread throughout the village. Many young mistresses, in order to catch a glimpse of their true appearance, had specially come to the Jin family meat shop to buy meat.


    Not only did her son look good, but he also had a bright mind. Although he didn''t talk much, he would occasionally say a few words, which was exactly what she needed the most. For example, when he bought the lamb that day, he silently calculated the critical value of making money and losing money, and when he promptly stopped her from bidding, he not only stopped her from doing so, but he even tricked Feng Tu Hu!


    However, the little beggar had a weakness, that was, he usually looked wooden, and those who didn''t know would think he was stupid. However, Jin Weiwei didn''t think he was stupid, but instead felt that he might have encountered some kind of accident and lost his memory.


    However, she didn''t have much money at the moment, so if she wanted to show it to the little rich kid, she had to do it in the future.


    On this day, Jin Weiwei was busy at the butcher''s shop. From afar, she saw the Feng Tu Family sneakily wandering around on the opposite side of the street.


    What did this pig man come here for? Watching her shop?


    She had been doing a lot of business in the shop recently, so he couldn''t be jealous and purposely come here to cause trouble, right?


    However, Feng Tu only looked for a while before leaving. Jin Weiwei was too busy to follow them, but the uneasiness in her heart couldn''t be washed away no matter how hard she tried.


    In the end, something really happened after just a few days.


    "The sheep is sick."


    On this day, when the little rich kids were feeding the sheep, they found out that there was a problem.


    When Jin Weiwei rushed to the sheepfold, she immediately saw the vomit of the sheep everywhere. It was extremely fishy and stinky. On closer inspection, every sheep looked like they were dying.


    "What''s going on? It was still fine yesterday! What should we do?! " Jin Weiwei almost burst into tears.


    "If there''s something wrong, treat it." Just as Jin Weiwei was at a loss for what to do, little Fugui suddenly grabbed her hand.


    This soft sentence seemed to have an indescribable calming effect, Jin Weiwei immediately steadied herself. That''s right, she couldn''t panic at a time like this. She had to hurry up and treat this sheep.


    Therefore, she hurriedly took out some crushed silver and gave it to Fugui. "Run over and find a vet in the town. I''ll stay here and clean up the sheepfold first. Don''t let all of our sheep get infected."


    Xiao Fugui nodded his head, "Don''t worry."


    Saying that, he even slapped her on the head.


    Jin Weiwei was stunned.


    She had already said that her little rich kid didn''t look like a fool at all. How could a fool say something like that?


    Jin Weiwei''s heart was moved, but she didn''t have the time to investigate. The little rich kid was already striding out the door with big strides.


    "Bang bang bang bang!"


    Who would have thought that not long after the little rich kid left, a rapid and heavy knocking sound immediately rang out. Upon hearing it, he immediately knew that the person who had come did not have good intentions.


    "Jin Weiwei, open the door! The village chief is here!"


    Hearing Feng Tu Hu''s coarse shout, she immediately came back to her senses.


    At this time, he brought the village chief here most likely because he knew that her sheep were sick and wanted to use the village chief to slaughter all of his live animals.


    However, the sheep had just gotten sick this morning, how did he find out so quickly?


    When she thought back to the day when Feng Tu was sneaking around, Jin Weiwei immediately realized that the sheep''s illness must be related to Feng Tu''s. He must have done something to it, and she hated herself for not finding out in time and following his lead!


    "Bang bang bang bang!"


    "Jin Weiwei, open the door!" The Village Chief is waiting at the door! "


    The urging voices outside were anxious for a while, it was not a good idea to continue hiding like this.


    Why isn''t little rich boy back yet?


    Jin Weiwei was extremely anxious.


    What should he do? What should he do?


    Where can these sick sheep be hidden from detection?


    Suddenly, a thought flashed through Jin Weiwei''s mind ¡ª


    She suddenly thought of the mysterious door that had suddenly appeared in that run-down temple last time.


    "If only that gate had appeared again... God, if you have mercy on me, then let the gate reappear! "


    However, she had never expected that the door would actually appear on the wall next to the sheepfold!


    "God, I love you so much."


    Jin Weiwei was overjoyed. She hurriedly drove the sheep in one by one, closed the door and looked back. Sure enough, the door had disappeared without a trace.


    "But if this door does not appear again, will my sheep not be able to be found?"


    However, she didn''t have time to think too much into it. She would have to get past Feng Tu''s house first. She believed that the heavens were on her side. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have appeared again and again to save her life.


    After cleaning up, Jin Weiwei opened the door at a leisurely pace:


    "Aiya, Uncle Feng seems to be very concerned about me recently. Didn''t he just come here two days ago? Why did he invite the Village Head over today?"


    "Cut the crap!" Feng Tu Hu did not hold back, "I heard your sheep got the plague ¡ª ¡ª"


    "Bullsh * t!" Jin Weiwei put her hands on her hips, not backing down in the slightest, "Feng Tu, I think you''re old enough to call me uncle, but you''ve really grown up. You threw some dirty water on me for no reason!"


    "Humph, you''ll know whether there is a plague or not when you see it!" As Feng Tu Hu spoke, he moved as if he wanted to rush in.


    "Wait!" How can you enter my house just because you say you want to, and watch just because you want to? "


    "Weiwei, the plague is a big deal, we have to figure it out." Seeing this, the Village Chief walked up and said to Chu Feng with a sincere tone.


    "Village Head Grandpa, I naturally know about the terror of the plague. If my family''s livestock were to be infected with the plague and I were to hide it from you, you will naturally be able to punish me. But if there''s no such thing, then what about the people who framed me?"


    The meaning behind his words was that Feng Tu Clan could not just treat them as spectators.


    "This ¡­" The village chief glanced at Feng Tu Hu, "If someone is deliberately framing us, I will naturally not spare him."


    "Alright. "I knew that the Village Head Grandpa was the most impartial."


    Jin Weiwei narrowed her eyes and smiled. She made way for the village chief and the others to enter through the gate. The Feng Tu Family came in. Jin Weiwei reached out her hand to stop them, and said with a cold smile:


    "Uncle Feng, since you said that our sheep have a plague, then please find it. As long as you find it, I''ll do whatever you want with it. If you can''t find it, then, hehe ¡­"

 C8

    "I can''t find it..." What do you want? "


    For some reason, at this moment, the coarse skin and thick flesh of Slaughterer Feng was being stared at by Jin Weiwei to the point where his hair was standing on end.


    This damned girl was different from the past. Could she be hiding something behind her back?


    Could it be that her family''s sheep really weren''t infected by the plague?


    Impossible.


    That sick sheep was very contagious, and he had put it into her sheep pen with his own hands ¡­


    Feng Tu was muttering to himself when he happened to bump into the Village Head and his entourage at the entrance of the courtyard. The little rich kid had also invited the veterinarian over.


    Jin Weiwei''s heart skipped a beat.


    This is bad! Why didn''t you come back earlier or later, and you just happened to come back at this time?


    How do I explain my request for a veterinarian? Why don''t we muddle up a bit and not mention the identity of the veterinarian?


    Who knew that before she could open her mouth, the Village Head had already caught up to her?


    "Aiyaya, isn''t this the most famous doctor Jia in our town? Why did you come all the way to our village? "


    God, the village chief actually knew this veterinarian!


    Jin Weiwei was wailing in her heart ¡ª little rich kid, little rich kid, why did you have to hire a top veterinarian? His fame was so high, and her plan failed even before she had a chance to make a move.


    "Why would I come here? This little brother said that the sheep in the family is sick. Naturally, I''m here to treat them." Doctor Jia didn''t know what was going on and answered with a smile.


    When these words were spoken, Jin Weiwei''s face turned ugly. However, a smile blossomed on Feng Tu Hu''s face.


    He was almost intimidated by this damned girl, thinking that her sheep really weren''t infected. Now that the veterinarians had invited them, how could he dare to say that his sheep were healthy? Hmph, what kind of doctor is he?!


    "Get out of the way!" Don''t delay them from treating the sheep! " Feng Tu Hu stood up straight and shouted loudly.


    What should he do?


    On the other hand, Jin Weiwei was frowning and gritting her teeth. The sheep were gone, so she insisted that there was no plague and that the Feng Slaughterers couldn''t do anything about it. She couldn''t afford to be cowardly at a time like this.


    "Wait a minute, you still haven''t said what you will do if you can''t find the sick sheep?" Jin Weiwei blocked off Feng Tu''s path and did not give way at all.


    "Haha, then I''ll let you handle me as you wish!" Right now, Feng Tu Hu was fully confident. Even if he had to bet on this head, he would agree without hesitation.


    "OK, it''s a deal." Jin Weiwei made a gesture that no one could understand, then opened the door.


    Feng Tu led the crowd and rushed into the sheepfold, ignoring the old village chief.


    But reality slapped him in the face.


    "Sheep?"


    Facing the empty sheepfold, everyone was dumbfounded. There was no sign of a sick sheep, not to mention a sick one.


    Following that, the Village Chief and Doctor Jia looked at each other. Even little Fugui and his son were confused.


    Now, everyone in the courtyard was looking at Jin Weiwei alone, because she was the only one who could explain this.


    "Where are the sheep? "What about the sheep in this circle?" Feng Tu Hu became anxious.


    "I sold it!" Jin Weiwei replied calmly.


    "Sold? Who are you trying to fool! How can a sick sheep be bought? "


    "Surnamed Feng, if you continue to lie without any evidence, I''ll beat you until all your teeth fall out, do you believe me!?" Jin Weiwei was a little annoyed, so she took a step forward and waved her fist.


    This Feng Tu believed. This was because the entire village knew that although Jin Weiwei was young, she was born with great strength. At the age of ten, she could kill pigs and sheep on her own.


    Feng Tu moved closer to the village chief: "Humph, with the village chief here, I want to see how many baskets you can spin with your lies."


    "Child, how can you be like a girl? If you have something to say, just say it." The village chief coughed twice, "Where are the sheep in the circle? Where did they all go? "


    "Didn''t I say I was selling it just now? A few days ago, there was a customer that wanted to buy the sheep at a high price, I calculated, heh, it was more than selling meat, why didn''t you sell it?" They were all sold! " Jin Weiwei giggled.


    "Not a single one?"


    "Yes, I will sell them all and not leave a single one!" "That customer saw that my family''s sheep are good and paid well. I have no reason to refuse."


    "This is impossible!" Feng Tu Hu shouted, "When I came a few days ago, it was filled with sheep!"


    "When you came?" Jin Weiwei immediately grabbed onto the loophole in Feng Tu''s words, pointed at his nose and asked, "Why do you have to come to my sheepfold for no reason?" "Speak!"


    "I, I, I just came to take a look. Is that not okay?" Feng Tu was momentarily at a loss for words.


    "Look at you, big head. Don''t you have a sheepfold?" Jin Weiwei was unrelenting. "I was wondering why you suddenly invited the Village Head to my house today to look for some plague." Did you do something to my sheep? Didn''t you let go of the plague in my house? "Speak!"


    "You, you fart!" "I didn''t do anything, and I don''t have a disease source for the plague. Seriously, don''t speak carelessly like a child!"


    Jin Weiwei''s direct question made Feng Tu flustered, and his face turned red like the color of a pig''s liver.


    At this moment, everyone could tell that it was most likely because Feng Tu Hu had sneaked into the Jin family''s sheepfold to do something shameful. They thought they had complete confidence in their victory. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have gone through so much trouble to ask the village head to come out.


    It was just that he didn''t know what kind of medicine was being sold in the Golden Weiwei gourd. Did the sheep in this circle catch the plague or not? Had it really been sold long ago, as she said?


    "What child? I am already married, and this is my husband. " Jin Weiwei pulled little Fugui over. "Besides, I''m not spouting nonsense. You said yourself that you came over a few days ago to see the sheep!"


    "I was wrong, I''ve never been here before." Feng Tu Hu quickly changed his words to clear up the relationship.


    "Village Chief Grandpa, you''ve heard it all. When he opened and closed his mouth, he did not recognize what he had said in front of that big fellow." Tell me, can he tell you the truth? Why do you still believe in him? "


    Jin Weiwei threw the question to the Village Head.


    Although the Village Chief was not a bad person, he was also a stubborn and soft person. Whenever he was provoked, he would come looking for trouble. He might as well take this opportunity to pick on him as well.


    When the Village Chief heard this, he could not help but express his stance: "Feng Tu Hu, today you came to say that the Jin family was plagued with a plague, and the situation is serious. You forced me to come take a look, and say that the evidence is on the scene. Now that everyone was here, where was the evidence? Now take it out. "


    Evidence? The evidence he had mentioned was these sheep! But the sheep? How could the circle of sheep he saw with his own eyes disappear into thin air?


    The Feng Tu Clan member scratched his ears and face anxiously. Suddenly, he saw the confused and confused expression of Doctor Jia. He quickly pointed at him and said:


    "Village Chief, this is the evidence!" If her sheep weren''t sick, what would a doctor do? Furthermore, to even invite such an expensive doctor, it can be seen that not only is her sheep sick, they are also very sick! "


    Jin Weiwei''s heart skipped a beat.


    Crap! As expected, he still asked this question.


    Earlier, she purposely blamed Feng Tu Hu to give him a good beating, and also to make everyone forget that she had hired a veterinarian.


    But at this moment, the topic was brought up once again.


    "That''s right, who would not be sick and invite a doctor over?" The crowd broke out into a flurry of discussion.

 C9

    Jin Weiwei was anxious, not knowing how to answer.


    Who would have thought that the spectating Xiao Fugui would suddenly spout out these words: "Regular inspections."


    Jin Weiwei was stunned.


    Yeah, check regularly!


    Can''t you have a daily physical examination? Who says you can only get a doctor if you''re sick? She just wanted to give the animals a routine medical examination.


    Jin Weiwei looked gratefully at the little rich kid. This brat could always hit the mark at critical moments. In the future, if anyone dared to call him stupid, she would fight them with her life on the line!


    "Regular inspections?" Feng Tu Hu said sarcastically, "Which family didn''t pay a doctor to come here just for the examination? Do you think that you can believe us three year old children just because we cajole you? "


    "Just because you don''t know it doesn''t mean that I don''t know it!" Jin Weiwei stood up and immediately switched on her Shadow Queen mode, patting her chest and said, "Our Jin family''s meat shop has always been a guarantee of quality. In order to provide the best quality meat for everyone, we not only feed the animals better than others, but also conduct regular medical checkups to ensure that every one of them is healthy and healthy! We''re not like some black-hearted merchants who only care about making money. We''re doing this so that everyone can have some peace of mind! "


    Jin Weiwei''s declaration was loud and powerful, her voice was lagging behind. Soon, she won a round of applause from everyone. Even the Village Head was praising her.


    In contrast, the Feng Tu Clan who was just talking became a black-hearted merchant who only cared about making money.


    Seeing that everyone had fallen towards Jin Weiwei, Feng Tu couldn''t help but shout in exasperation, "Stupid girl, stop playing tricks on me. Quickly hand over the sick sheep!"


    "Hey, Uncle Feng, you''re an old man, why are you so angry? Look at that blue vein on your neck, tsk tsk, please don''t let your blood vessels burst at me. When you kick, you''ll make me pay for it."


    "You, you!" Feng Tu Hu did not expect Jin Weiwei to have such a venomous mouth. He was so angry that he could not speak.


    "Me? I''m just concerned about you! " Jin Weiwei pursed her lips and smiled, "What about sheep?" I''ve just said that I''ll sell them all. I won''t be able to hand them over. What? Uncle Feng, are you jealous of me after seeing me sell the sheep at a high price? "It''s okay, as long as you give me enough money, I will also introduce you that customer. What do you think?"


    "You ¡­ It''s impossible to sell it. A few little lambs are worth a lot of money, so don''t think you can fool others! " Feng Tu Hu really didn''t know what to say. Other than denying it with all his might, he couldn''t even say a word.


    "How is that impossible? Selling it means selling it, otherwise how would I dare to spend such a large price to invite a famous doctor like Doctor Jia to my house for a daily examination? "Isn''t it because I''ve just sold my sheep, so I have plenty of money."


    When everyone heard this, they all felt that what Jin Weiwei said was the truth. There was nothing wrong with it.


    "Why are you still talking nonsense at this age? Could plague be something that could be casually said? "Nonsense!" In the end, the village chief shook his sleeves at Feng Tu and came to a conclusion, "Old Feng, Seventh Brother, you really don''t know your place. This is the last time. If you commit another offense, you just have to receive your punishment!"


    Feng Tu Hu opened and closed his mouth. He wanted to argue a few more times, but he couldn''t find any other reason. He could only stare at Jin Weiwei in hatred.


    Seeing Feng Tu Hu''s face and neck red, Jin Weiwei was so happy that she didn''t want it anymore. But did she really think it was over like this? No!


    "Grandpa Village Chief, guess, could it be because Uncle Feng''s sheep caught the plague that they came to my house to find fault?" Otherwise, who would think of making trouble with such a serious matter like the plague? Why don''t we all go to his house and have a look? "


    These words gave Feng Tu Hu a fright. Although he had buried the sick sheep deep in the ground, he could not guarantee if the other sheep in the circle would have any problems.


    However, the villagers will never think too much of the gossip.


    "Yeah, let''s go take a look!"


    "Exactly, what if his family''s sheep also have a plague ¡­"


    Without any further explanation, the group walked towards Feng Tu''s house.


    "Today is really the day. Cough cough ¡­" The Village Chief was a little embarrassed as he said to Jin Weiwei, "Girl, don''t worry. I will definitely punish him well. I promise that he won''t dare to find trouble with you again in the future."


    "Thank you, Village Head Grandpa."


    Jin Weiwei smiled. With the Village Head''s words, her survival in Xingtian Village would be even more assured.


    After sending off the Village Chief, Jin Weiwei warmly greeted Doctor Jia and accompanied him to inspect the remaining piglets.


    The piglets in the pigsty were all pink and cute, smooth and sleek, looking healthy and healthy. However, Doctor Jia examined them one by one very seriously.


    It seemed that the professional ethics of a famous doctor was indeed reliable. It was just that just by looking at Doctor Jia''s demeanor, she could tell that he was not cheap, and it would be a waste to pay a high price for him to come to the basic examination. Jin Weiwei felt a little uncomfortable inside, so she couldn''t help but ask Doctor Jia about the fees.


    Jin Weiwei was naturally aware that peak level meant the most expensive price, but she didn''t expect that the first veterinarian, Doctor Jia, would pay five taels of silver for the consultation fee.


    MMP Oh, almost a lamb at the top!


    This damned rich kid really knew how to waste money. Who could not take him on, yet he had to invite the most expensive one?


    Jin Weiwei''s heart ached, but then she thought, "That''s not right." So she gave the little rich girl some crushed silver, which was at most one or two yuan. How could he have the money to pay for the hospital?


    Seeing that Little Fugui was following by Doctor Jia''s side to help, she secretly pulled him aside.


    "Tell me, where did you get the doctor''s money from?"


    Xiao Fugui slightly frowned and looked at her blankly. His eyes seemed to be saying, "Didn''t you say you were going to pay the doctor?"


    "Stop playing dumb!" I did give you money, but it was no more than one or two dollars, no more than three! But just now, Doctor Jia said that he had to pay a minimum of five dollars to treat a patient. Why don''t you just answer honestly, where did the other money come from? "


    However, little Fugui only pursed his lips and looked at her.


    Seeing that the little rich kid didn''t want to answer, Jin Weiwei became angry for some reason. "You couldn''t have stolen money from someone, right?"


    Xiao Fugui heard this and coldly snorted. He wrinkled his nose as a look of disdain appeared in his eyes.


    "Good!" Since it wasn''t stolen, then tell me, where did this extra money come from? "Anyways, you have to explain it to me today. If you don''t, none of us will be able to sleep tonight!"


    Although the little rich kid had helped her during the crucial moment today, she was the one who had fed him and let him live. Just look at his current attitude!


    She had a proud and aloof appearance, as if she were some great character that disdained to haggle with a little girl.


    Not answering? Hmph, today she, Jin Weiwei, had to find out the reason why.


    "I begged him." Unable to endure Jin Weiwei''s questioning any longer, Xiao Fugui finally opened his mouth.


    "Are you begging him?" Jin Weiwei couldn''t believe it.


    How could an old fox like Doctor Jia be able to get them without spending any money just because he casually asked for it?


    However, just as she was about to continue questioning him, Xiao Fugui suddenly opened his mouth and asked:


    "Sheep?"


    Eh, this guy is pretty strong. Knowing that there''s a counterattack, Jin Weiwei immediately felt guilty.


    "Didn''t you say that it was sold?" Jin Weiwei was a bit embarrassed, she avoided the sharp eyes of the little rich guy and said, "I''ll sell it. You just left not long ago, and coincidentally there was a customer coming to pick it up, so I sold it all."


    Others didn''t know, but little Fugui only saw the sick sheep with his own eyes this morning. Now that she said she would sell all the sick sheep in a short while, could he believe it?


    Seeing that little rich kid was about to continue pursuing the matter, Jin Weiwei immediately laughed and turned around to help Doctor Jia.


    Their suspicions were concealed just like that.


    Not long after, the inspection ended and Jin Weiwei brewed some tea for Doctor Jia to drink. Who knew that before the tea could even reach her mouth, a reckless person would barge in:


    "Not good, Feng Tu''s house is causing a ruckus!"

 C10

    Jin Weiwei was overjoyed at the sudden change of events ¨C it was a really quick turnaround!


    "Are you sure?" She grabbed him.


    If it was true, then she was certain that the plague in her sheepfold must have been caused by Feng Tu''s family.


    "This... "I''m not sure yet, but the Village Head wanted me to see if Doctor Jia was still here. He wanted me to ask him to come over and give him a proper diagnosis."


    "Quickly, quickly, Doctor Jia, I''ll have to trouble you to make another trip!" Jin Weiwei quickly dragged Doctor Jia and rushed over to Feng Slaughterer''s house.


    As soon as he arrived at the Feng Slaughterer''s house, he heard Madame Li''s howl coming from inside. At this moment, the Feng Family''s sheepfold was completely surrounded by a crowd of people.


    "Give way, Doctor Jia is here!"


    The reckless ghost shouted out in a shrill voice, and the crowd obediently parted to form a path. A few people entered in a line.


    "Doctor Jia, you have to help us take a good look. Is this a plague?" The Village Chief frowned. Clearly, the situation was serious.


    When Jin Weiwei looked closer, she could see that the green vomit was everywhere in the sheepfold. Two sheep were already lying paralyzed in the corner.


    Seeing this, Doctor Jia wordlessly took out a white cloth from the medicine box to cover his nose and mouth.


    As soon as he did, everyone became alert and took three steps back.


    Doctor Jia first approached the vomit, sticking to it and carefully examined it. He then ran to the sickly sheep in the corner, opened his eyes and observed it for a long time. He then caught a normal looking sheep and observed it for a long time.


    "Is it sheep plague? "Doctor Jia, quickly tell me." Jin Weiwei urged from the side.


    The color, smell and state of the sick sheep were exactly the same as her own sheep. She was sure now that it must be Slaughterer Feng who had brought the plague into her sheep pen!


    This fat old man was really hateful. If he didn''t teach him a lesson today, the three words'' Jin Weiwei ''would be read backwards from now on.


    Before he could open his mouth, he was stopped by Feng Tu Hu: "Doctor Jia, you''ve worked hard on such a hot day. Doctor Jia, you''ve worked hard on such a hot day, this sheepfold is dirty and smelly.


    At this time, Lady Li also had a good eye for this. She immediately went to fetch water, in order to disperse the crowd.


    The village chief was already old and tired from standing. Not to mention that the sheepfold was full of stench, so he did not want to stay for a long time. He nodded and left first, walking towards the main house.


    Although Jin Weiwei was anxious, she had no other choice but to follow the little rich son inside the house. As for Feng Tu Hu, he dragged Doctor Jia and walked with him to the back.


    Who would have thought that as he was walking, he would suddenly hear a stern shout from Doctor Jia.


    "I can''t accept this money!"


    A few people turned their heads to look and saw Feng Tu Hu holding a silver ingot and placing it in the arms of Doctor Jia.


    "Alright, Feng Tu Hu, openly bribe us!" With a single glance, Jin Weiwei saw through Feng Tu Hu''s intentions.


    Who would have thought that not only did this Doctor Jia have outstanding medical skills, but he also had a good character. He had even rejected Feng Tu Hu, otherwise the matter wouldn''t have been exposed.


    Feng Tu Hu was stunned. Facing the scrutiny from the crowd, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I''m going to ask Doctor Jia to pay for the treatment of my sheep. A fee!"


    Jin Weiwei sneered, "Oh my, a doctor''s fee? "Uncle Feng, you are indeed rich. To be able to get a ingot of Origin Treasure from your hands, why does it look like you are hiding something in your heart and want to bribe Doctor Jia to cover it up for you?"


    "What do you mean? I always said it was a medical fee. A medical fee! "


    Feng Tu Hu still wanted to argue with him, but Doctor Jia didn''t want to waste any more time with him. He snorted, shook off his hand, and strode into the room.


    Once everyone was seated, Doctor Jia immediately said, "It really is a plague!"


    Four simple words were immediately used to sentence all of the Feng Tu Clan''s sheep to death. The faces of the couple instantly turned ashen.


    "Doctor Jia, why don''t you take a look again? How can all of my sheep be infected with the plague? Could it be that the other illnesses were very similar? "Please let me see it again ¡­" Feng Tu Hu begged.


    "Plague is correct!" Doctor Jia did not loosen his grip, "It''s just that there''s one thing I don''t understand, why did these sheep get sick at the same time? In other words, there will be one or two sheep that will develop the disease first, and their vomit before they die will be the way to spread the disease. "


    The villagers had also raised animals before, so they naturally understood what Doctor Jia meant.


    The village chief''s expression changed as he sternly questioned, "Old Feng, Seventh!" "Tell me, has your sheep been sick for a long time? Why did they not report this matter to you?"


    Feng Tu Hu was so frightened that his legs became weak and he sat down ¡ª all the sheep were sick, and if they were to be put under a false hat now, the Feng Family''s butcher shop would probably be closed for the night!


    He didn''t expect the Feng Tu Clan to submit so quickly, but Madame Li wasn''t someone who could easily accept her fate. She immediately jumped up and acted like a shrew:


    "Village Chief, there''s no basis for you to lie about the plague. You can''t speak carelessly about it. You''re slandering us!"


    You still want to be stubborn at a time like this? Jin Weiwei narrowed her eyes. Just as she was about to speak up and strike down Lady Li''s temper, the little Fugui pulled on her sleeve a few times.


    He gave Jin Weiwei a meaningful look, and then indicated that she should take a look at the corner of the yard outside the house.


    What was this little rich kid trying to do?


    Jin Weiwei was puzzled, but she still subconsciously followed the gaze of little Fugui. She saw a yellow dog desperately digging in the corner of the yard.


    What''s so good about dog paddling? At this critical moment, he should think of a way to kill Feng Tu, okay? He actually still had the leisure to look at the dog paddling!


    Jin Weiwei rolled her eyes at little Fugui. "If you want to play, then go play by yourself."


    "Evidence." Little Fugui pulled on her hand again and said softly.


    Evidence?!


    These two words were like stars on a dark winter''s night, instantly awakening Jin Weiwei ¡ª could it be that the place where the yellow dog was dug was where Feng Tu destroyed the first sick sheep?


    That''s right!


    Feng Tu''s family wanted to hide this disease, so he couldn''t let others know that his family''s sheep had died, so he could only secretly bury them in his own yard. He had thought that no one was following him, but after a few days, the rotting scent of the sheep had reached the ground and alerted the yellow dog.


    "I have proof!" Jin Weiwei immediately shouted loudly, interrupting Madame Li''s act.


    "Stinky girl, what proof do you have? If you don''t take it out today, I''ll definitely give you a few big slaps. " Madame Li immediately jumped up and down.


    "If I say so, so be it. Everyone, follow me." Jin Weiwei stood up unhurriedly, "Little Fugui, go and find a hoe."


    Everyone was suspicious as they followed her to the corner of the yard. Feng Tu was shocked when he saw his dog digging desperately on the ground.


    The place where this son of a b * tch had dug was where he had buried the sick sheep!


    He got up and kicked away the yellow dog. Then, he stood on top of the dog and pretended as if nothing had happened. He asked, "Little girl Jin, why did you bring us here?"


    Jin Weiwei laughed coldly, "Feng, the situation has already reached this point. Why are you still pretending? You dare to plague my sheep? I''ll make sure you don''t lose your body today."


    After Jin Weiwei finished her sentence, she pointed at the foot of Feng Tu Hu''s house, "Little Fugui, dig here, dig carefully. The evidence is right below here!"

 C11

    "Wait!" Feng Tu Hu anxiously grabbed little Fugui, "Damned girl, it''s not your turn to behave so atrociously in my house. You said you could dig this place up just because you wanted to?!"


    Feng Tu Hu''s words were firm and his heart was in a panic. Sweat poured down from his forehead like rain. He knew that this hoe was equivalent to the Feng Family''s meat store''s reputation sweeping the floor.


    Jin Weiwei sneered:


    "You want to behave atrociously? I have always been a good and reasonable girl. Do you think that everyone is like the others whom you have your eyes on?


    These words were like a spear and a stick, not only did it scold the Feng Tu Clan, it also brought along Madame Li and Madame Cao.


    Madame Li was so angry that she immediately jumped up again: "Damned girl, don''t you see what kind of trash you are? You''re so thin that you don''t even have two taels of silver.


    "Haha, beggar?" You mean him? " Jin Weiwei walked lightly to the side of the little rich guy and placed her hand on his shoulder. "My little rich kid and I are an honest couple. Even sleeping with him a thousand times is too much. Who would dare to gossip a bit?"


    Everyone began to laugh.


    A hint of an imperceptible redness appeared on the face of little Fugui.


    "Cough, cough!" The Village Chief waved his hand and interrupted the two women, "What nonsense are you spouting!?" Deal with the sheep plague first. Since there''s suspicion, let''s dig! "


    With the words of the village chief, how could Feng Tu Hu stop him? The little rich guy swung his arms, and within a few moments, he had already dug out the sick sheep.


    Everyone immediately took a few steps back and cried out in alarm.


    "What do you have to say now?" Jin Weiwei questioned Feng Tu Hu.


    Following which, he let out a long sigh, turned around to the village chief, and activated Shadow Queen mode, showing an appearance of being wronged.


    "Village Head Grandpa, you saw it. This morning, he even brought people over to my place to make trouble. He framed my family of having a plague. What a thief!" If it wasn''t for the fact that I sold my sheep early, I''m afraid I would have been infected by the plague! "


    At this moment, the village chief''s face was as cold as a thousand year old ice. He waved his hand and sternly shouted, "You guys go count the amount. Today, all of the sheep in the Feng Family''s sheepfold are to be killed!"


    Hearing this, Feng Tu Hu''s legs softened and plopped down on the ground again.


    In this circle, there were both the fat sheep that he had worked hard to raise and the lambs that he had collected a few days ago at a high price. There were at least twenty of them.


    Madame Li wasn''t someone who was easy to deal with. How could she easily agree to something that required her life?


    She stopped the man who was about to kill the lamb, and began to cry and howl, "Oh, my mother! You are taking my life! You want me to kill all the good sheep? How do you expect me to survive?! "


    It was a pity that the Village Head did not take advantage of him and signaled to the people around him with his eyes. Madame Li watched helplessly as her sheep were killed one by one. Her heart ached! She pounded her chest and stamped her feet, cursing this and that.


    Suddenly, he looked at Jin Weiwei who was grinning from ear to ear. A burst of anger rose in his heart. Without a second word, he rushed to her front steps, pointed at her nose and shouted:


    "Damned girl, you''re a bitch!" I looked at the sick sheep and it was all because of you! You are the one who wants to harm us. If you want to destroy our Feng Family''s meat shop, then you have to be the one to do it! "


    "Bullsh * t!" Jin Weiwei did not back down in the slightest.


    What a blind dog you are! She, Jin Weiwei, wasn''t someone you could casually vent your anger on. If I didn''t give you some color today, you wouldn''t even know how many eyes Prince Ma had!


    "Fat woman, you have to explain to me clearly today. This sick sheep was dug out from your own yard!"


    "It''s you! "I saw you sneaking into my house with a sheep on your back the other day!" Madame Li was already so angry that she had completely lost her reason. She could only let the big snake hit her with the rod and speak without thinking.


    "You saw it?" Jin Weiwei suddenly narrowed her eyes as the corner of her mouth slightly rose. "You actually saw a weak girl swaggering over with a sheep on her back?" Why didn''t you ask me if I was here to give you a present? "


    Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.


    Who would brazenly carry a sick sheep on their back and walk on the street, afraid that others would not know that their sheep had died of illness?


    "What are all of you laughing for!" Madame Li stuck her waist, "Anyway, I saw it!"


    "Then I would like to ask you, when exactly did you see me?" Jin Weiwei stopped smiling and asked seriously.


    Madame Li recalled that the sheep died of illness the day before yesterday, so she blurted out, "It was the morning of the day before yesterday!"


    "The morning before yesterday?" I haven''t left the butcher''s shop even half a step, and those who come to buy meat can clearly see me. "


    "No, no, no, I was wrong. It was afternoon. Right! When the sky was about to turn dark, you sneaked over! " Madame Li hurriedly changed her words.


    "Are you sure you saw me the night before yesterday? Is there something wrong with your memory this time? " Jin Weiwei raised her eyebrows and asked.


    "I''m sure!" It''s near evening that I saw you! " Madame Li insisted.


    Jin Weiwei suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. This smile was very cute and charming, even the little rich kid beside her couldn''t help but take a couple of glances.


    "I feel that you should go to the temple and burn incense, and ask Buddha to bless you."


    "What do you mean?" Madame Li''s face was at a loss.


    "What do you mean? It means that you must have seen a ghost! " Jin Weiwei continued to laugh, "Because it was really a coincidence the day before yesterday. The Village Head Grandpa ordered a hind leg at my house, and I just delivered it to his house in the evening. If you don''t believe me, you can ask the Village Head!"


    Everyone looked at the Village Chief, who nodded slightly.


    It was over! The village chief''s prestige ranked first in the village. Since he had proven that Jin Weiwei''s words were true, then Lady Li was definitely lying.


    "How shameless! His own family''s sheep couldn''t be faked by the plague, and now they still want to frame the Jin family''s girl!"


    "That''s right. You don''t know shame. I don''t think there are any good people in the Feng Family. The men are slut and the women are biting people!"


    "I don''t think we should buy meat from his house in the future. How can a person who came out with such a lie sell anything he sells?"


    Amidst the crowd''s discussion, Madame Li''s face turned from red to white, then from white to green. Suddenly, she let out a female donkey like cry, rushed towards Jin Weiwei, grabbed her collar, and raised her hand to give her a slap.


    Seeing that the slap was about to fall on her face, and saying that it was just a moment ago, little rich kid at the side suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked Mrs Li''s slap, then took the opportunity to push her back a little and sat down on the ground with a plop.


    Madame Li was a famous tigress in Xingtian Village. No one could match her in a fight, yet her first slap had actually missed. How could she just let it go like this?


    "F * ck you, you little bitch. You can hide under a man''s crotch. If you have the ability, come and fight with me one on one!" Madame Li''s eyes turned red from anger, and her mouth was filled with obscene curses.


    Jin Weiwei covered her nose exaggeratedly. "Tsk tsk tsk, you grew up eating sheep poop, why is your mouth so smelly? You want to fight? "Sure, I''ll keep you company!"


    Jin Weiwei pushed away the little rich kid in front of her, walked up, and rolled up her sleeves.

 C12

    If everything hadn''t happened so suddenly, with this fat old woman''s skills, how could she have met him?


    However, she was still very grateful for the little rich girl''s help just now. Otherwise, if she really got slapped by that fat old lady, she would have vomited to death even if her face didn''t hurt.


    When Madame Li saw that Jin Weiwei actually dared to walk out under the protection of a rich child, she secretly cursed in her heart, "Stupid little girl who doesn''t know the meaning of life and death," then once again rushed forward, intending to repeat the same old trick.


    Why would she be given a second chance? She faced Mrs. Li, and when she was about to reach her, she turned sideways, twisted her slim waist, and raised her foot to kick Mrs. Li''s butt.


    Madame Li was originally a big woman, and could not stop herself from charging forward. Coupled with Jin Weiwei''s kick, her whole body flew out like a giant roast duck, and she landed heavily on the ground.


    There was a roar of laughter from the crowd.


    Madame Li''s fall was not light this time. Her entire face was slapped to the ground. Not only was one of her front teeth knocked out, her nose was also blooming and fresh blood flowed out.


    She covered her mouth and nose and lay on the ground, one hand still pointing at Jin Weiwei, while her mouth was still shouting something.


    "You still dare to scold me?!"


    Jin Weiwei rushed to Madame Li in two steps. She bent over and stretched out her hand to grab Madame Li''s hair. She then dragged her from the courtyard to the middle of the street.


    "Everyone, come take a look. Everyone, come take a look!" Jin Weiwei put her hands to her mouth in a trumpet gesture, "Look at the face of the Feng Family!" His family''s sheep were infected with the plague, so not only did they hide it from others and frame them, they even continued to slaughter other infected sheep to sell to everyone! If not for the village chief''s brilliance today, everyone would probably have eaten sheep meat infected by the plague! "


    These two lines of words immediately exploded in the crowd.


    If it was only a matter of the Feng Family''s meat shop, everyone would at most watch the show while they killed off all the animals. However, when Jin Weiwei mentioned that the Feng Family was selling sick mutton, the effect was different. After all, mutton was eaten into their stomachs and was something related to them. Everyone immediately became nervous.


    "Aiya, this is bad, I just bought the mutton from his house this morning, it must be the sick mutton, what should we do now? "My child can already eat at noon. If anything happens, I''ll fight it out with the Feng Family!"


    "That''s right, I bought one in the morning, but fortunately I haven''t eaten yet. I''ll go home and take it back!"


    One of the Feng Family villagers, who had been buying mutton for a long time, stood up and pointed at Madame Li while cursing, "You wretched woman with a black conscience, you dare to sell the meat of a sick sheep? Aren''t you deliberately trying to harm me? How shameless! "


    After she finished speaking, she directly spat at Madame Li.


    With the first person leading the way, everyone became bolder. Even more villagers, who had bought mutton from the Feng Family before, came forward and cursed as they spat on the ground. Some of them even threw rotten vegetables.


    Not long later, Lady Li was nearly drowned in rotten leaves and saliva.


    Feng Tu Hu''s side was also in a bad state. He was severely warned by the village head, and the villagers who came to return the goods all surrounded him, cursing as they forced him to return the money.


    A single word could be heard throughout the entire Feng family. It was "miserable" and it was even worse!


    Jin Weiwei saw all of this with her eyes, and felt happy in her heart. The anger that had been plaguing the heart of the original owner for the past few years had finally been vented out. Let''s see if the Feng Family still dares to bully the Jin Family in the future.


    You still want to buy the Jin family butcher shop? Dream on! With her, Jin Weiwei, the Jin family meat shop''s business could only get hotter and hotter, becoming bigger and bigger!


    "Village Chief Grandpa is truly wise and wise. If you had not come here to inspect, I''m afraid that they would have continued to hide it." As Jin Weiwei continued to throw stones at the village chief, she began to flatter him.


    "Come, everyone is here to thank the village chief for bringing justice to these black-hearted merchants to ensure the safety of our food. "Thank you, Village Head Grandpa!"


    She was the first to run over to the Village Chief and give him a deep bow. Following that, many of the villagers also followed her example and began to express their gratitude to the Village Chief.


    As the saying goes, no matter how many people wear their clothes, even if they don''t, they would still wholeheartedly listen to others praise themselves. The Village Head was no exception, he was very satisfied, stroking his beard as he smilingly said to Jin Weiwei:


    "Jin family''s girl, it''s all thanks to you reminding us today. Otherwise, we wouldn''t have come to check up on you. We will remember your meritorious service. At the end of the year''s feast, we will definitely give you a piece of roasted pig."


    The annual feast of Xingtian Village was very famous in the village. There was a big dish called Roasted Pigs, which would be distributed to everyone in the village, but the meat distribution was very particular. It was based on the status of each family in the village, and the distribution of the meat would be distributed to different parts of the village along with different sizes of the pork.


    In the past, the Jin family could only receive a few pigs in the water. Now that the village head said this, it was equivalent to confirming Jin Weiwei''s status in the village.


    After she was sure that all the Feng Family sheep had been killed, the surrounding villagers gradually dispersed, and Jin Weiwei also took her little rich brother away. After all, she had seen enough of today''s excitement, and at this moment, she just wanted to go home quickly.


    She didn''t know if her sheep were already dying from illness inside that door. If they were all infected by the plague, like the Feng Tu Clan''s sheep, then even if she couldn''t bear it, she could only kill them all. Her silver, it was just a waste of money!


    After returning home, he washed up briefly. It was already late in the night, so he didn''t have time to do anything else. He got two pickled vegetables and ate a few steamed buns with little Fugui and his son.


    Jin Weiwei watched him eat, and for a moment she had an illusion. It was as if the one sitting opposite her was not a silly little beggar, but a rich young master with a refined demeanor.


    In addition, this little rich kid had an extremely high face value. As Jin Weiwei watched, she suddenly had an indescribable feeling ¡ª ¡ª If he wasn''t stupid, if he really was her husband, how great would that be?


    "It''s too tiring today. You should go rest early." After dinner, Jin Weiwei waved off little rich and wealthy children. She lay alone on the bed, reminiscing about the joy of the day while waiting for the sky to turn dark.


    She still didn''t want little rich kid to know about her secret. Although he helped her a lot today, but there were some things she still had to leave behind for herself. Besides, she still hadn''t figured out what this power that opened another space gate was.


    After tossing and turning, it was finally nightfall. The sky was completely dark. Only then did Jin Weiwei quietly get up and tiptoed to the sheepfold.

 C13

    The moonlight shone brightly, illuminating the interior of the sheepfold.


    Where was the magic door?


    Jin Weiwei circled the sheepfold twice, but naturally did not see the magical door. Although the door always appeared out of thin air, it seemed to have a trick up its sleeves every time it appeared.


    Jin Weiwei carefully recalled that her treasured door always appeared at the critical moment when there were pursuers ahead of her. There was no way out.


    That''s right, a sense of crisis arose every time he felt a sense of crisis.


    But now that it was night and no one was around, she didn''t feel the slightest bit of danger. Could it be that if she couldn''t open the door, she wouldn''t be able to find the sheep?


    No rush, no rush. After some careful thinking, Jin Weiwei patted her forehead.


    Could it be that she said something, did something, triggered some kind of spell or other, and opened the door to life?


    I remember the first time she said how good it would be if there was a door? The second time was to say, how good would it be if that door appeared again?


    These two times were also different. Forget it, who cares if it''s thirty-two or thirty? I''ll give it a shot with a few casual words.


    "Open Sesame!" For some reason, this incantation appeared at the very first moment in Jin Weiwei''s mind.


    Unfortunately, it was useless.


    "What a magical door! Come out quickly!" Jin Weiwei clasped her hands together.


    It was still useless.


    "MMP, what the hell is the use of that door to appear?" Jin Weiwei was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks. "If only that door had suddenly appeared ¡­"


    Unexpectedly, just as he finished his sentence, a golden light flashed and the magical door immediately appeared on the wall of the sheepfold.


    Jin Weiwei was overjoyed. She quickly opened the door and ran inside.


    However, she didn''t expect it to be broad daylight in this space.


    Moreover, it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn outside. The weather was very hot, but the temperature inside the door was very suitable. The warm sunlight shined on the green grass, neither hot nor cold.


    The thing that made her the most happy was that not only did all of her sheep not die, they were instead all leisurely eating the grass.


    Jin Weiwei quickly grabbed a little lamb and held it in her arms. She carefully examined it and saw that the little lamb had bright eyes, a clean mouth and nose, and was in good spirits. It looked completely healthy.


    Oh, it''s amazing.


    Could it be that this space also had the ability to allow animals to heal themselves? Or was it because these grasses had magical effects?


    For a moment, although Jin Weiwei didn''t know why she had recovered from her sheep disease, this result made her feel really happy. She thought for a moment and decided to keep the sheep here tonight. Tomorrow, when the rich kids weren''t around, she would make up a reason to bring them back.


    After Jin Weiwei and every sheep reluctantly bid farewell, they opened the door and returned to the real world. They stepped out of the door, turned around and the magical door immediately disappeared without a trace.


    This should be the legendary space.


    Who would have thought that he would have such a magical ability to open up another space!


    Jin Weiwei thought about it carefully. From the previous three times, she seemed to have said something similar to "how good it is to have a door to appear here". This crucial point was probably on "how good it is" and "to appear here".


    No matter what, this ability was extremely useful. Jin Weiwei was elated as she touched the place where the magical door had appeared from. Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly appeared beside her.


    "Who is it!" She shouted as she turned her head around, only to realize that it wasn''t a thief but little Fugui.


    "You scared me to death!" Jin Weiwei patted her chest, "Are you a ghost? Why are you standing behind someone without making a sound?" Do you know that people can scare people to death! "


    "What are you doing?" The little rich kid walked around her and also walked to the wall of the sheepfold, carefully observing the place where Jin Weiwei had touched it.


    It was obvious that he had noticed her position by leaning against the wall and stroking it.


    Jin Weiwei''s heart skipped a beat. How could she explain this? That he had a fetish for walls?


    Since she couldn''t tell him the truth, he was a little silly sometimes. If he suddenly knew that she had the ability to open the mysterious space, would he be scared?


    "I... I may be sleepwalking. " "I''ve had sleepwalking since I was young. After I fell asleep at night, I would run around randomly, saying whatever I said and doing, but I didn''t know anything at all."


    The implication of this is that you shouldn''t ask me what happened and what I was doing, because I don''t know anything.


    "Sleepwalking?" Little Fugui frowned. "The disease of the soul?"


    "Right, right! It''s the illness of the soul leaving the body!" Jin Weiwei quickly followed up, "Yes, it''s this disease. The doctor said that it can''t be cured, so you don''t need to worry about it." Oh right, you''re not sleeping in the middle of the night, why are you here? Could it be that you also have a soul-leaving disease? "


    "Seeing that you''re not here, I can''t sleep." Little Fugui looked up at the bright moon and replied softly.


    Heavens, this deep male voice carried a hoarse magnetism that drilled into Jin Weiwei''s ears, giving her goosebumps.


    Not only was this man handsome, even his voice was pleasant to hear. Her gaze unconsciously landed on little rich and powerful children. Under the moonlight, he seemed even more extraordinary.


    "Sleep." Despite being stared at fixedly, the little rich kid still felt a bit uncomfortable. He threw down the word and entered the room.


    Jin Weiwei stood alone under the moonlight for a moment before she mumbled something.


    "Why are you running? It''s not like I ate you ¡­"


    "You''re the one who said I can''t sleep anymore ¡­"


    "Besides, we haven''t slept in the same room yet. It sounds so intimate. Tch ¡­"


    Little Fugui''s room was already completely silent. After being bored for a moment, Jin Weiwei followed him back to the house.


    * *


    The next day, Jin Weiwei still woke up early in the morning. She told the little rich kid to go sell the meat first while she pretended to go to the town to buy sheep.


    But in fact, she just went for a stroll in the town and came back after a round of food. After confirming that the little rich kid was still busy in the shop, she ran to the sheepfold, thinking:


    "What a magical door! How good is it to appear so quickly?!"


    Sure enough, this time the incantation was correct, and the door suddenly appeared.


    Jin Weiwei did not dare to delay any longer. She hurried all the sheep back to the real world, then returned to the butcher''s shop. By the time the butcher''s shop closed at noon and the little rich kid returned, the sheepfold was already full of sheep.


    "How is it? The sheep I picked was not bad, right? That''s really the best. Look at how happy this little lamb is. " Jin Weiwei shook her head proudly.


    What a genius she was to be able to conjure up the sheep again without anyone noticing. In the morning, he could still make an excuse to go to the town and play for a while.


    Jin Weiwei, Jin Weiwei, you really are clever!


    "Is this your new sheep?" Xiao Fu''e counted the amount and looked at the flock of sheep for a while, then suddenly asked.

 C14

    "Of course, I didn''t buy it, did you?" Jin Weiwei waved her hands impatiently. "It''s tiring to drive these sheep back. I won''t be cooking today. You do it."


    Xiao Fugui''s brows furrowed slightly, and he looked as if he was deep in thought.


    "What are you thinking?" She patted the little rich guy, "Hurry up and cook, I''m so hungry that my stomach is flat."


    "I won''t do it." Little Fugui''s sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly.


    "Just heat up the leftovers. Hurry up and go!"


    The little rich kid was pushed into the kitchen by Jin Weiwei and ''cooked''.


    Jin Weiwei hid to the side and patted her chest ¨C what was wrong with this man today? He had a strange look on his face, did he see through something?


    Impossible, when she let the sheep out, she looked left and right to make sure no one was around before making a move. Moreover, these sheep didn''t all look alike. She said she bought them recently, who would dare say she didn''t?


    Jin Weiwei patted her chest and encouraged herself, "Don''t worry, Jin Weiwei. The sheep plague has been completely resolved. "From tomorrow onwards, you will go to Xingtian Village''s number one entrepreneur. What Feng Tu Hu, Li Tu Hu, all of you stand on the side, haha!"


    * *


    As Jin Weiwei had expected, along with the continuous fermentation of the sheep plague, Feng Tu''s family business plummeted. Regardless of whether he was using a price reduction or a promotional method, other than some old customers who came to buy meat, almost no one cared about Feng Tu''s business.


    On the contrary, the Jin family meat shop business was flourishing under the management of Jin Weiwei.


    She strongly promoted her brand image. Without raising the price, she repeatedly emphasized that quality was life. Every day, she would tie up a live sheep and a live pig at the door of the butcher''s shop to display her image. She wanted everyone to fully recognize the Jin family''s butcher''s shop as a guarantee of quality and freshness.


    In addition, she also classified and refined different parts of the meat, directly cutting them into strips of meat, pieces of meat, and various shapes to meet everyone''s different needs.


    More particularly, she started making side products ¡ª sausages.


    In modern times, sausages could be made very easily. They had ready-made sausages and machines that could be filled directly, but it still took quite a bit of effort to make them in the places she had traveled to. Normally, people would only make them during holidays, but there was no place to buy them if they wanted to.


    Jin Weiwei only started processing the sausages because she saw this point. As a result, the Jin family meat shop gained another point of sales growth. Every day, there was an endless stream of customers queuing up to buy sausages. Business could be said to be booming.


    Feng Tu Hu saw all of this, and the anger in his heart burned hotter and hotter. As his business was deserted, he would go to the village entrance every day to observe the Jin family''s meat shop. He even hoped that there would be some natural and man-made disasters that would be able to vent the hatred in his heart.


    "Aiyo, isn''t this Feng Tu Hu? Why did you leave your own business here to take care of other people''s business? " A rather sloppily dressed man walked over and mocked.


    Feng Tu turned his head to see who it was. It was none other than one of the village''s idlers, Second Fool Wang. A while ago, Second Fool Wang and Feng Tu were still fighting over the bet. The reason was because Feng Tu had lost the bet, and he suspected that Second Fool Wang had cheated and cursed, but ended up getting beaten up by Second Fool Wang instead.


    Feng Tu Hu harbored a grudge towards this matter, and at this moment, he did not want to bother with Second Fool Wang. He fiercely spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground to express his dissatisfaction.


    Who knew that Second Young Master Wang was not someone who was easy to deal with. When he saw that Feng Tu Hu was in low spirits, he decided that no matter what, he would step forward and trample on him a few more times.


    "Tell me, how could your heart be so dark?" You dare to sell a sick sheep? Aren''t you afraid of eating the dead? "


    "Bullsh * t! The meat of Jin family is the real problem. I see you coming over here every day to cut the meat, sooner or later, you''ll die from eating it!"


    "Hmph." Second Fool Wang rolled his eyes in disdain, "What are you being so arrogant for? Look at the business of your shop, how lonely is it, how many more days can it last? And look at the Jin family''s business, it''s called thriving! "


    Second Fool Wang picked up the sausage in his hand, raised it to his nose and sniffed it. He squinted his eyes and revealed a satisfied expression:


    "Do you know, for the sake of this sausage, I have to line up here for an hour every day because the taste is really too good. I just want to eat it someday ¡­" Someone''s things are made so well, do you think it''s possible for business to not be booming? "I think you should just shut down your butcher shop and go back to wash up and sleep!"


    "Scram!" Feng Tu pushed Wang Er away and resentfully went back home.


    When they got home, Feng Tu became more and more angry as he touched Wang Er Nu''s words. He actually said that the meat he sold could eat people to their deaths. In his opinion, the person who deserved to die the most was Wang Er Nong.


    At this point, an evil idea suddenly appeared in Feng Tu Hu''s mind.


    Wasn''t this Second Young Master Wang always eating the sausages from the Jin family meat store? If this sausage was eaten by Wang Er, wouldn''t it be two birds with one stone? Since he could make Wang Er suffer, he could also take the opportunity to suppress the development of the Jin family''s meat shop.


    Yes, that''s it! He didn''t believe that he wouldn''t be able to deal with the Jin family''s girl and Wang Er [1] this time. He couldn''t just let them ride on his head like this forever!


    The next day, the Feng Tu Clan went to the west early in the morning to pick a lot of wild beans.


    "You ran over so early in the morning and didn''t even care about the business in the store. What the hell are you doing here?" Madame Li didn''t understand.


    "This is a wild bean, it can be used in medicine and is stored in a medicine shop. It has other uses, which is to make people think that it''s a bad stomach after eating it. "


    "What? Are you really going to close the butcher''s shop and do something else?"


    Feng Tu let out a helpless sigh. How could his wife be so stupid? He patiently told her all the dirty plans he had in mind.


    When Madame Li heard this, she immediately clapped her hands!


    Last time, the girl from the Jin family had humiliated her quite a bit. She really wanted to skin that damned girl and pull her tendons out. Since she had a way to deal with her, how could she let it go so easily?


    Madame Li immediately went to the kitchen to cook a copy of Jin Jia Village''s sausage. Of course, there was a seasoning called "Ba Dou" in it, but as for Feng Tu, they purposely stopped Wang Er Nong on his way home to pick a fight with him.


    Madame Li followed behind, holding the seasoned sausage in her hand, and then, while she was trying to mediate, she took the sausage along with Second Fool Wang''s sausage out of her bag.


    When the couple got home, they cooked the sausages from the Jin family butcher''s.


    "Don''t say it, it''s really quite tasty." Feng Tu Hu mumbled as he ate.


    Madame Li knocked at him with her chopsticks: "You have the ambition of others! Once you''re done eating, go out and see if Second Young Master Wang is alright! "

 C15

    Bang bang bang!


    Poor gate!


    Jin Weiwei cried for it in her heart. Why do humans always vent their anger on things every time? This door is innocent!


    "Open the door!" an anxious and angry female voice shouted.


    "I''m coming, I''m coming. Can you knock lightly?" The door is broken, do you want to compensate? "


    Which deity came today? Ever since she had taken care of Madame Cao and the Feng Tu household, there should no longer be anyone in Xingtian Village looking for trouble with her, right?


    As Jin Weiwei ran to the door to open it, she muttered in her heart.


    As soon as the door opened a crack, the person outside slammed it open. The leading woman squeezed in first, followed by four men carrying a person. Following that, a few more people rushed in, and in an instant, more than ten people filled the entire yard.


    Jin Weiwei looked down and saw that the person being carried was extremely pale and weak, as if he could die at any time.


    Jin Weiwei was stunned. What was this? She wasn''t a doctor, what was she doing, carrying a patient into her yard for no reason.


    What kind of trouble was this?


    "Who are you? What is this? "


    "Mr. Jin, are you pretending to be stupid?!" The woman was aggressive.


    Jin Weiwei took a closer look and found it familiar. It should be someone from the village. However, she was not familiar with the original owner, so she couldn''t call him by name.


    Taking a closer look at this patient, Jin Weiwei finally recognized him. It seemed to be someone called Wang Er [1]. This person came to the butcher''s shop every day to buy sausages, and Jin Weiwei was quite familiar with him.


    However, why did he become like this in such a short time when he was perfectly fine in the morning?


    Since the patient was Second Fool Wang, then this woman who had been anxious for him was most likely his wife.


    "Sister-in-law ¡­" Jin Weiwei tried to sound him out.


    "Who''s your sister-in-law!" The woman suddenly started to wail, "Such a nice person, he became like this after eating your sausage, how dare you call me sister-in-law! "Jin Weiwei, your family''s sausage is poisonous!"


    "Right, your sausage is poisonous!" Everyone else also agreed.


    MMP, how is this possible?


    The sausages in the restaurant were all personally made by her. Not to mention being poisoned, even the hygiene standards were first-class. She would not mess around and smash her own Jin family''s meat shop''s signboard.


    But now that they were lying here, it didn''t seem like they were here to cause trouble. There must have been some kind of misunderstanding.


    Jin Weiwei calmed herself down and tried her best to control her temper. She said slowly,


    "Sister-in-law, don''t worry. I really don''t know what''s going on. Sit down first and we''ll talk about the sequence of events." If it''s really a problem with my family''s sausage, then I, Jin Weiwei, will definitely take responsibility for it! "


    With that, she waved her hand, "Little Fugui, quick, bring out two chairs in the room and let everyone sit."


    This respectful attitude seemed to have some effect. Mrs. Zhang, the daughter-in-law of Second Fool Wang''s family, stopped wailing. She sat down, choked with sobs, and recounted what had happened.


    It turned out that this morning, after Second Fool Wang bought the Jin family sausages, he had finished his usual small bowl of wine. Before he had even eaten half of it, he had started yelling about his stomachache.


    "Say, is this about your family''s sausage? He hasn''t eaten anything else all morning! "


    Speaking to this point, even Jin Weiwei didn''t know how to explain it. Hearing Mrs. Zhang''s words, it seemed like Wang Erhu had eaten something bad and had a tummy upset. But why did she make such a ruckus, causing him to be dehydrated?


    In any case, it was certainly not a matter of his own sausage.


    "Sister-in-law, don''t be in such a hurry. Let''s see what''s important first. Have you invited the doctor?"


    Just as he was asking, he heard someone shout from the door, "Doctor Jia is here! Doctor Jia is here!"


    Doctor Jia? Why is the surname Jia here? Jin Weiwei looked up. Hey, this Doctor Jia was none other than the veterinarian that little rich kid paid a lot of money to hire last time!


    "Doctor Jia, you ¡­" Aren''t you a doctor for cattle? " Jin Weiwei could not help but ask.


    "All living things are life. Animals can see it, and humans can naturally see it as well. It all depends on one''s mood!" Doctor Jia carried his medicine box and quickly walked through the door.


    Interesting.


    Jin Weiwei felt that this Doctor Jia was really not an ordinary person. If she had the chance in the future, she must properly understand him. It was just that at this moment, it was more important to save a patient.


    Without a second word, Doctor Jia walked up to Second Fool Wang, looked around and came to a conclusion, "This isn''t poison."


    Hearing this, a stone in Jin Weiwei''s heart finally fell to the ground. As long as she wasn''t poisoned, everything would be fine.


    "But ¡­" Doctor Jia paused for a moment, scanning the crowd.


    What are you still trying to hide at this time? Jin Weiwei wanted to go up and pat him so that he would finish his words.


    "There''s something wrong with the food he''s eating today."


    However, Jin Weiwei knew there was no good words to say later on, so she immediately tensed up again.


    "Doctor Jia, do you mean that he really did eat my family''s sausages before getting sick? "That''s impossible." She repeatedly confirmed the meaning behind Doctor Jia''s words.


    "That''s right!"


    When these two soft words were spoken, the Wang family immediately pointed their spearhead at Jin Weiwei. Each of their eyes were full of anger, as if they would tear her to shreds at any moment.


    Doctor Jia calmly continued:


    There''s something wrong with this sausage, because a lot of beans have been added into the sausage. After eating it, it will inevitably lead to diarrhea and abdominal pain." There''s something wrong with this sausage, because a large amount of beans have been added into the sausage, it would cause a lot of pain and diarrhea after eating it.


    Bean?


    Where did this bean come from? How could there be a bean in her sausage?!


    In that instant, Jin Weiwei immediately thought of the only possibility ¡ª someone wanted to harm her again.


    This was just too cruel. It didn''t matter if he was a bean or not. If something happened to this Second Young Master Wang, then she, the Jin family''s butcher, would surely be held responsible.


    One must not lose his life at this time. If he does not die, he might still have hope of finding out. However, if he dies, then this black pot would probably be stuck there for the rest of his life.


    "Doctor Jia, then can he be cured?" Jin Weiwei asked carefully.


    "I can''t guarantee anything. Right now, his life is in danger, so it''s hard to say how much of the medicine he''ll be able to use. I can only give it a try. As for whether he can survive or not, that will all depend on his luck."


    Finished speaking, Doctor Jia used a pen to draw up a prescription, and arranged for people to immediately grab and fry medicine.


    "How could it be like this? My bitter husband, you have to hold on. If you leave, how are we, orphans and widows, going to live ¡­" Upon hearing Doctor Jia''s words, Zhang began to wail again.


    All the members of the Wang family also revealed expressions of grief and indignation. They surrounded Jin Weiwei and hooted for her to give an explanation.

 C16

    "Listen to me, there really isn''t any problem with my family''s sausage! Not to mention that my family doesn''t even have something like a bean, even if I did, I wouldn''t foolishly put it in my own sausage to harm people, right? Besides, I sold so many sausages in the morning, how could others eat them without a problem? "


    Jin Weiwei tried her best to explain, but to the Wang family members'' ears, these words were just a sophistry. They only wanted Jin Weiwei to give them an explanation. As they spoke, they became agitated and began to curse.


    "Calm down and let me explain, okay?" Jin Weiwei saw that the Wang family was going overboard with their curses. She was really anxious and angry in her heart.


    He was worried that Second Fool Wang was currently in critical danger and was about to die. He was angry that the Wang Family members were besieging him indiscriminately.


    "Brother Wang is my family''s old customer. He comes to buy sausages every day. If I want to harm him, why wait until today?" Besides, I really have no enmity with him. Why would I go through so much trouble to make a sausage with a bean in it to harm him? What good is that to me? "


    That being said, it made sense. Apart from the relationship between the merchant and the customer, Jin Weiwei and Wang Er''s relationship was, on normal days, inextricably linked. Therefore, the Wang family had their own doubts about her intentionally harming Second Fool Wang. However, now that the problem was the sausage, they could only come to find Jin Weiwei.


    As the two sides were in a stalemate, a voice suddenly came out from the ground, "Who said you have no enmity with each other? This enmity is really huge. "


    Jin Weiwei looked towards the source of the voice and saw that it was none other than the Feng Tu Clan member who wanted to get rid of her.


    Heh, that''s strange. He''s really everywhere, what is he trying to do?


    Feng Tu Hu''s voice immediately attracted everyone''s attention, and the crowd automatically opened up a path for him. He walked slowly and deliberately to the center of the room and made a gesture to silence everyone, to indicate that they should listen to him.


    Jin Weiwei simply stood opposite Feng Tu Hu. She wanted to see what kind of tricks this damn fatty could play.


    "There''s one thing you might not know. Not only do you guys have a grudge between Jin Weiwei and Wang Er, but there''s also a deep grudge between them as well!"


    The crowd burst into an uproar. Obviously, no one had heard that there was actually such a conflict between these two people. Jin Weiwei was also stunned upon hearing this.


    She carefully searched the original owner''s memory bank, but didn''t find any other information about Second Fool Wang. It must be that Feng Tu Hu was prepared to create trouble again. He was obviously trying to add insult to injury, trying his best to pin her down.


    "Tell me quickly, what sort of enmity do they have with each other?" Zhang shi was also confused.


    "Speaking of which, this can be considered a rotten thing for Chen Gu." Feng Tu raised his eyebrows proudly, and vividly said, "Last year''s New Year, when Second Young Master Wang was drunk, he went to the Jin family''s butcher shop to buy meat, and when he saw the Jin family girl, he touched her. Who would have known that this girl would go crazy and try to kill him with a pig slaughtering knife, and even yelled that she had to kill him ¡­"


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei frowned. This Feng Tu said it like he had seen it with his own eyes, but she didn''t know it. This was obviously nonsense, but when she looked up, it seemed like everyone in the Wang family believed his words.


    How could these people not have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong? From the looks of it, it was going to be extremely difficult to resolve the situation properly.


    Seeing Mrs. Zhang still half believing and half doubting him, Feng Tu took two steps forward until he was in front of Second Fool Wang. He wanted to reach out and grab his hand to show his friendliness.


    This grab gave him a fright.


    He saw that Second Fool Wang''s eyes were tightly shut. His breath was drifting, and his face was as white as a ghost. Even his hands were cold, as if he no longer had the breath of a living person.


    Could it be that he had put too much of the beans into the storage?


    Although Feng Tu Hu was a bit of a scoundrel, he really didn''t want to take someone''s life. He only wanted to take advantage of Wang Er''s beating to make him suffer a bit. Now that he saw Wang Er''s situation, he was afraid that his life wasn''t going to end yet.


    Brother, I''m really sorry. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for going to the Jin family to buy sausages. Blame yourself for being too weak.


    Feng Tu was muttering in his heart, but his mouth did not stop, "My good brother, even though you told me not to spread this matter, to avoid causing trouble for the girl from the Jin family. "But look, he''s a vengeful person. Now that he''s already done you in, if I don''t say it out loud, how can I face you?!"


    After he finished speaking, he even forced himself to howl twice.


    How disgusting! Jin Weiwei wished that she could immediately tear apart Feng Tu Hu''s mouth.


    If it was any other conflict, Mrs. Zhang might still have some doubts, but she was also very clear about her man''s lust for food. If Second Fool Wang had drunk a few jugs of cat piss to take advantage of the Jin family''s girl, then this matter might actually happen.


    Moreover, Second Young Master Wang was just about to die while lying down, so he couldn''t say whether he was right or wrong. If there really was something wrong with his man, how could he continue living with an orphan?


    Mrs Zhang clenched her teeth. She had already made up her mind. Today, she must find the person in charge of this matter. The person in charge was either someone else or Jin Weiwei.


    This matter needed to be compensated by the Jin family''s butcher!


    Zhang Shi sat cross-legged on the ground, and followed Feng Tu Hu''s words and started to curse:


    "Damn it, why is this girl from the Jin family so vicious?" My man just drank two mouthfuls of cat urine and became muddled for a moment. To think that he wanted to protect your reputation, yet you, damned girl, wanted to poison him to death. You really have a heart of a snake ¡­ "How are you going to let us orphans and widows live on in the future ¡­"


    With the Zhang Family''s incident, the Wang Family''s relatives immediately stirred up their emotions and clamored to take Jin Weiwei''s life!


    Seeing that the situation wasn''t good, Xiao Fugui suddenly stood up and pulled on Jin Weiwei, pulling her behind him to protect her while he faced the Wang family in front of him.


    Jin Weiwei felt a warmth in her heart as she watched the back of the little rich kid.


    He really didn''t expect this fellow to be so taciturn at such a crucial moment. To be able to stand out at such a crucial moment, he truly seemed like a man!


    Jin Weiwei''s heart was immediately filled with joy, but in just three seconds, her anger began to soar. This was because she saw that the several Wang family members in the lead not only kept swearing profusely, but also greeted the little rich and rich son''s eighteen generations of ancestors.


    This was intolerable! It was fine to touch her, but she actually dared to touch her, Jin Weiwei''s man! She couldn''t tolerate this kind of resentment!


    Jin Weiwei suddenly took a big stride and jumped out from behind the little rich kid. She ran up to the little rich kid and grabbed his wrist, bent down, and threw him out. The guy immediately cried out in pain.

 C17

    "He''s killing, he''s killing!" "This girl from the Jin family wants to kill someone!"


    "Bullshit, who wants to kill you!?" Jin Weiwei frowned and pushed with her strength. The other party immediately staggered a few steps back, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.


    "Aiya, stinking girl, you actually dare to hit someone!"


    "Great! The Jin family is going to beat them up. They are going to bully them!"


    "He caused Second Brother Wang to lose his life, and now he actually still dares to hit someone. This is too hateful!"


    When the Wang Family members saw their own people pushed to the ground, they immediately became excited and began to approach Jin Weiwei step by step.


    Even though Jin Weiwei was born with great strength and had a fearless personality, when faced with the surrounding Wang family members, she couldn''t help but feel a little scared. It had to be known that with two fists, it was difficult to fight against four hands. On her side, there were only two people: Xiao Fugui and herself, and there were more than ten people on the other side, so if they were to fight, she would definitely be the one at a disadvantage.


    However, even though she was nervous, Jin Weiwei didn''t show the slightest trace of fear on her face. She knew that at a time like this, she had to hold on more and more.


    She stole a glance at the little rich guy beside her, only to see that he had a calm expression on his face. He didn''t seem to be afraid in the slightest, and upon closer inspection, his lips seemed to have a hint of an unfathomable smile, as if he was saying: You bunch of people really overestimate yourselves!


    There was a trace of contempt on his face as he looked down on the Wang family members. "Jin Weiwei lowered her head and saw that little Fugui''s right hand was clenched into a fist and raised to his waist, as if he was about to start a fight. Suddenly, a thought flashed across her mind ¡ª could it be that this little Fugui was also a martial arts master?


    However, now was not the time to probe deeper. Besides, even if the little rich kid knew martial arts, if both sides were to fight, he would still be at a disadvantage.


    Jin Weiwei was not afraid of being taken advantage of, but she could not accept this injustice. This matter was obviously because Feng Tu was trying to stir up trouble. If they were to fight now, it would definitely be like a sandpiper and clam fighting for benefits.


    Seeing that the Wang family''s encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and the leading man was already very close to the little rich kid, as long as he stretched out his hand, he could immediately punch him in the face. When this fight seemed inevitable, Jin Weiwei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted:


    "Wait, I have a way to save Brother Wang!"


    Everyone was stunned as they looked at each other. How could this girl revive from the dead?


    Feng Tu Hu laughed and interrupted:


    "Damned girl, who are you fooling? Even Doctor Jia had said he was helpless, so how could a fool like Wang Er want his life? How could a little brat like you have any way to save him? Stop joking around! It seems to me that you want to stall for time to play tricks on the Wang Clan? "


    "That''s right!" What medical skills does a wet behind the ears girl know? "


    "Even Doctor Jia said she can''t look good. Why should she?"


    "Don''t listen to her flowery words. You must not let her off today! If Big Brother Wang has anything to do, you can take her and repay her with your life! "


    The crowd that had stopped once again began to surround him under the nagging of Feng Tu Hu''s few words.


    "I really have a way to save them! Don''t you want Brother Wang to live? " "I promise I can save him. If not, I''m willing to give my life for it!"


    Hearing this, the Wang family''s people hesitated again. Originally, it wasn''t good for a dozen people to gang up on a little girl. However, now that she said something to save her life, what should they do?


    Everyone looked at Zhang Shi and let her make her decision.


    Zhang Shi crawled up from the ground, and didn''t forget to pat the dust off her legs, "Jin family''s girl, don''t say that sister-in-law is bullying you. It''s just that the matter today is not a small matter. I''m not forcing you to pay with your life. If you die, how many days will I be happy? "


    She really didn''t expect that this Zhang family, who usually looked weak and weak, would actually have such a clear mind at this moment, with such a submissive attitude towards Second Fool Wang.


    However, the meaning behind her words was clear. Her purpose in coming here today was not to make her pay with her life, but to make her pay with money.


    Lose money? Not to mention having no door, there wasn''t even a window!


    It wasn''t her, Jin Weiwei, who did this. She had already suffered a lot of grievances, and now she still wanted her to pay for it? You wish!


    The corner of Jin Weiwei''s mouth twitched, forcing out an ugly smile. "I understand what sister-in-law is saying." "But there is indeed hope for Brother Wang''s illness. Sister-in-law, why don''t you let me try first. I''m sure you don''t really want Brother Wang to die young like this, right?"


    Mrs Zhang could hear the mockery in Jin Weiwei''s words, and her black face actually revealed a faint blush. "What do you mean by that? Of course I wish for my husband to live for a hundred years! "


    "That''s good! Can sister-in-law let me give it a try? "


    "Try what? Wang family''s daughter-in-law, do you really believe the words of a silly little girl? " Feng Tu Hu stood at the side and said, "Brother Er Hou still has some breath left in him. Even if he doesn''t live, he can still depend on his own life. What should we do if we get tortured to death by that stinking girl?"


    Although Feng Tu Hu didn''t believe that Jin Weiwei had the ability to cure Wang Er, but this damned girl was completely different from before. She was like a ghost, and it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn''t try any tricks to distract everyone''s attention.


    "Bullshit!" With the surname Feng, I think you did this on purpose to not let Brother Wang come back to life! " "Everyone in the village knows that you''ve been beaten up by Brother Wang to the point that you can''t get out of bed. The roots of your teeth are itchy from your hatred towards him.


    These words were not false. The entire village knew that because Feng Tu and Second Fool Wang had crossed paths because of the bet, when Feng Tu stopped them, it really did seem like they had a personal grudge, so it was a bit inappropriate.


    Feng Tu glared at Jin Weiwei, but he didn''t dare to say anything else. He was afraid that the Wang family might suspect him.


    Only then did Jin Weiwei turn to Mrs. Zhang. "Sister-in-law, just let me try."


    Jin Weiwei knew that at this moment, saving Second Fool Wang was the only proper way to resolve this. Otherwise, whether it was paying with one''s life or money, as long as Second Fool Wang died, she would die from eating her Jin family meat. This was a notoriety she was sure of, and the Jin family meat shop''s reputation was also set in stone.


    "I can try, but just in case ¡­" Mrs Zhang was still hesitating.


    "Sister-in-law, if there''s a chance, I will compensate you with this Jin family''s butcher shop!"

    Pu Zi?


    Hearing Jin Weiwei say that she would compensate the shop to her, Mrs. Zhang''s eyes immediately lit up.


    She had only been planning to lead people into a ruckus and extort a sum of money from the Jin family''s butcher shop. She hadn''t thought that this little girl would actually offer to compensate the restaurant. That would be the best meat pie in the world.


    Although she was secretly happy, she still showed a tearful expression on the surface, "Since you''re so sure that you''ve placed your bet on your shop, how could I not believe you? Hurry up and try it out ¡­ "My family''s second fool ¡­"


    Everyone listened to Zhang Shi''s agreement and no longer had any other opinions.


    "Thank you for your trust, but this recipe is a family heirloom. If it wasn''t for the fact that I have no other way, I wouldn''t have brought it out today." "Therefore, please wait patiently in the front yard for a while. I''ll go get the medicine myself."


    As soon as his voice fell, Feng Tu Hu said in a strange tone: "If I go alone to get it, it can''t be that I want to run away, right?"


    "Shut your dog mouth!" Jin Weiwei cursed.


    This kind of scumbag was too despicable. When she had the chance in the future, she would definitely treat him well.


    "This is my house. You all stay here. I can run away now. Monks cannot run away from the temple. Furthermore, my husband is still here."


    As she spoke, Jin Weiwei pushed little Fugui forward.


    I''m sorry, little rich kid, but I''ll have to trouble you to be the hostage for a while.


    At this moment, Mrs. Zhang''s heart was already on Jin Weiwei''s promise just now. Of course, she had to give this opportunity a try no matter what, so she nodded her head.


    "Jin family''s girl, go quickly. I believe you." We''ll wait in the front yard. "


    With Lady Zhang''s promise, Jin Weiwei quickly turned around and ran back into the house.


    In fact, the Jin Clan had been preparing the meat for a long time, but no one had ever heard that their family was skilled in medicine. Moreover, they even had some kind of ancestral secret recipe.


    Jin Weiwei was even more clear that the secret methods that were passed down by the ancestors were completely nonsense. It was just that in a moment of desperation, she suddenly thought of the flock of sick sheep. The dying sheep actually recovered after eating the grass inside the magical gate. Who knew, maybe the grass inside was a cure for all diseases.


    Fortunately, the magical door appeared in a different place every time. Jin Weiwei strode into the room, locked the door, and made a sound as if she was searching for something. As soon as she faced the bedroom wall, she began to recite:


    "What a miraculous door, how good would it be if it appeared now ¡­"


    With a flash of golden light, the door appeared on the wall. Jin Weiwei immediately opened the door and slipped inside.


    Inside the door, there was still a fresh and peaceful air. It was incredibly comfortable to be here. She took a deep breath and felt that the air was sweet.


    Unfortunately, this was not the time to be enjoying herself. There was a dying patient waiting for her outside, and her adorable, foolish husband, little rich and wealthy son was currently being surrounded by a group of people as a hostage.


    For fear of being discovered, Jin Weiwei randomly grabbed a few handfuls of grass and came out. Since she didn''t know which grass could cure the disease, she just grabbed it.


    After coming out, he would be in a difficult situation. How was he going to eat this grass?


    The sheep could be chewed on, but Wang Er couldn''t be like this. Besides, he already said it was a secret recipe passed down by the ancestors. If he took a few handfuls of broken grass out, wouldn''t it make people suspicious?


    Jin Weiwei thought for a moment, then jumped out of the window and quietly sneaked into the kitchen from the back. She quickly mashed the grass into a mess, took out some white noodles, and kneaded them into a small lump.


    That was enough. Now, this green pill was the ancestral spirit pellet of the Jin Clan.


    "It''s out, it''s out!"


    After waiting for a long time, everyone saw Jin Weiwei come out of the house. They all looked around to see what this secret recipe was.


    The act had to be done well. Jin Weiwei simply opened her hand with a mysterious look, showing everyone the green "pill" in her hand. "This is the miracle medicine my ancestor passed down. It has the effect of reviving the dead ¡­"


    "Tsk tsk tsk, I really didn''t expect her family to have such a treasure!"


    "Is that for real? This is the first time I''ve seen a pill that''s green!"


    "What do you know? Ordinary pills are obviously black. These miraculous pills are definitely different. There are all kinds of colors, so green is normal!"


    Just as everyone was discussing, Doctor Jia had just finished brewing the medicine. When he heard what kind of miracle medicine the crowd was talking about, he was immediately stupefied.


    He put down the medicine bowl and walked over, "Miss Jin, can you let me have a look at this pill?"


    Just watch and see. Your grandaunt is afraid of you, but she has nowhere else to go and can only try. She isn''t afraid that Doctor Jia will recognize that this is dough.


    Doctor Jia took the pill, his sticky fingers making him frown.


    What kind of lousy pill was this? It was actually as sticky as dough.


    He placed it before his nose and sniffed it. Other than the unique fragrance of the grass, he couldn''t even smell a single trace of medicinal herbs. Naturally, he wasn''t able to discern what medicinal herbs were inside either.


    "Doctor Jia, you can see it clearly. What is this spirit pill made of?" Jin Weiwei knew her advisor well.


    "I am not talented, but I can''t recognize you in such a short time ¡­" Doctor Jia spoke the truth and returned the pill to Jin Weiwei.


    "Hmph, I already said that this is an Ancestral Spirit Pill. If it''s that easy, you can smell it and you''ll know what it''s made of. What secret recipe would that be?" She purposely choked on Doctor Jia''s words, wanting him to stay far away so that she wouldn''t be able to see through any flaws.


    Who would have thought that this Doctor Jia wouldn''t be angry and instead respectfully replied, "What Miss Jin said is true. Then I will wait to see you apply medicine to save them."


    At this time, Mrs. Zhang, who was standing to the side, was already impatient. She urged, "Little girl Jin, don''t talk about those useless things. Saving people is more important."


    Without further ado, Jin Weiwei walked over to Second Fool Wang, knelt down and hugged his head. She then opened his mouth and stuffed the ''pill'' inside.


    "Water!"


    Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Xiao Fugui brought a bowl of water in front of her.


    Second Fool Wang swallowed a few mouthfuls of water. After confirming that he had swallowed the pill, the only thing left was to wait.


    As time passed, the air became more and more anxious.


    The crowd waited quietly for a while before whispering to each other. Eventually, someone shouted: "Go and see if Brother Wang still has any life left?"


    Mrs. Zhang had been keeping watch over Second Fool Wang the entire time, so when she heard this, she couldn''t help but stick her hand under his nose to see if he was breathing.


    Who knew that before his hand could reach under his nose, he heard Second Fool Wang heavily gasp for breath, then surprisingly sat up with a "rub".


    Second Fool Wang came back to life!


    "How strange!"


    "It is indeed a miraculous elixir!"


    Everyone felt as if a pot had exploded. They stretched their necks to look at this fool Wang Er who had come back to life.

 C19

    Even Doctor Jia was stunned.


    He really didn''t expect that at such a young age, this girl would really have such a knack for bringing this dying patient back to life with just a small pill. After practicing medicine for so many years, he felt that his medical skills were superb and thought too highly of himself, so he couldn''t help but admire Jin Weiwei at this moment.


    "The Jin family''s girl really doesn''t want to reveal herself. This is truly a comeback!" Doctor Jia praised Jin Weiwei wholeheartedly after cutting Wang Er''s pulse.


    "Not at all, it''s just basking in the glory of our ancestors. How would I know anything about medical skills?" Jin Weiwei smiled in embarrassment.


    Indeed, she knew nothing about medicine. If it weren''t for the miraculous encounters a few days ago, she would never have thought that those herbs could cure illnesses.


    "You are being modest. May I know if I am fortunate enough to be able to spar with you on medical skills?"


    Competing in medical skills? Hearing this, Jin Weiwei was speechless. From the looks of it, this Doctor Jia was a doctor addict.


    "I already told you that I don''t understand medicine." "No," she said flatly.


    "May I ask Miss, which medicinal material did you refine the pill from?" Doctor Jia asked with an unrelenting tone. His attitude was extremely respectful, causing everyone to be unable to contain their temper.


    Unfortunately, Jin Weiwei didn''t have the mood to gossip with him right now, so she forced a smile and said half-heartedly, "Doctor Jia''s question makes me not know how to answer it." I already said that this is an ancestral secret technique and it can''t be spread out. Why is Doctor Jia trying to force it out? "


    "I don''t dare to!" Hearing that, Doctor Jia hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed, "I am only sincerely admiring young lady''s medical skills and would like to seek your guidance. If it''s inconvenient for me to tell you, I will not make things difficult for you. However, if you have any difficulties in the future, please allow me to say them. I will not take any money.


    How could there be such a good thing? She did not expect that not only did this pill save Second Fool Wang''s life, it also resolved the crisis in front of her and allowed her to indirectly obtain a big fan.


    Jin Weiwei nodded with a smile, "Doctor Jia is too courteous. I''m not happy that I can become your friend, so how could I turn my back on you?"


    "In that case, this is the medical fee from last time, I will return it to the lady first. "In the future, between you and me, there will be no need to mention things like money." After saying that, Doctor Jia returned the 5 taels of silver for the consultation fee to Jin Weiwei.


    "Doctor Jia, you are too courteous, too courteous ¡­" Jin Weiwei, who was holding the silver in her hand, couldn''t stop smiling.


    She really didn''t expect that the money she spent would have a time to turn back. She was really happy.


    While she was laughing, Jin Weiwei caught a glimpse of a fat figure sneakily squeezing out of the door.


    "Feng Tu Hu!" Jin Weiwei shouted loudly.


    Little Fugui was already blocking the entrance, blocking Feng Tu''s way.


    "Why are you leaving so quickly?" There are some things that we don''t seem to have made clear yet. Why are you in such a hurry? " Jin Weiwei walked over with a wry smile.


    You want to run away? None at all!


    Who was it that dared to frame her, Jin Weiwei, after having eaten the heart of a leopard? He must investigate this matter thoroughly. He must catch the mastermind behind this, or else he would not let this matter rest.


    Actually, from Feng Tu''s performance just now, Jin Weiwei had already guessed that he was the one who intervened.


    "I really didn''t expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve. You really saved Second Fool Wang." Feng Tu''s house was blocked, so they could only stay where they were and laugh awkwardly.


    Jin Weiwei ignored him. She stood in the middle of the yard and said loudly, "I believe everyone has seen what happened today clearly. Someone must have purposefully copied the Pea Sausage and then used it to harm others, in an attempt to frame me and destroy our Jin Clan''s signboard! "


    At this point, she gave Feng Tu Hu a meaningful look. Everyone followed her gaze and immediately understood what was going on. In their hearts, they were also questioning Feng Tu Hu.


    "Fortunately, Big Brother Wang was lucky enough to escape this calamity. "However, this person is sinister and vicious, actually killing people. If we don''t bring him out today, our Xingtian Village will not have a peaceful life in the future."


    "That''s right, that''s right. The Jin family''s girl is right. This kind of bad guy definitely cannot stay in the village!" Someone in the crowd loudly echoed.


    "Right, we must not be lenient!"


    When Jin Weiwei heard everyone talking about their proposal, she was overjoyed. She wanted to applaud them, but when Feng Tu Hu heard it, he was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.


    As everyone was talking, a calm and elderly voice suddenly rang out.


    "Take him out! Not only does he want the ancestral hall to condemn him, but we also want to drive him out of the village!"


    The crowd turned their heads to look. It was none other than the village chief who had heard of Chu Feng''s arrival.


    "Village Head Grandpa, please help me!" With everyone supporting her, Jin Weiwei rushed to the village chief''s side.


    "Don''t worry, even if you don''t pursue the matter today, I will investigate thoroughly. Our Xingtian Village will never forgive such a wicked person. "


    With the Village Chief''s words, Jin Weiwei felt much more comfortable. However, she knew that investigating the case still depended on her. The people under the Village Chief''s command probably wouldn''t be able to find anything.


    However, although she had long believed that Feng Tu Hu was the mastermind, she still suspected that he would deny it if she told him about it.


    Where could he find evidence?


    As Jin Weiwei was fretting, little Fugui suddenly approached her and whispered, "Cha Ba Dou!"


    Right, of course we have to check it from the crotch in the fake sausage!


    But how should he investigate? Want to check out the drugstore in town? He wasn''t someone who came from a government office, would they tell her if he asked her?


    She looked at the little rich kid, who blinked and said, "Beside the stream."


    By the stream? What did that mean?


    This little rich kid, why is it so hard to complete a sentence?


    Jin Weiwei lost her temper and slapped Fugui''s back. She was already strong, but this slap was filled with anger, and the sound of her slap on his back was just like a firecracker''s.


    "Can''t you tell me everything?"


    Xiao Fugui was in pain, he frowned and said unhappily, "How dare you buy a scoundrel from a pharmacy? He would definitely look for the beans himself. "The beans like water, and they only grow by the stream. The grass and trees there are lush, and mosquitoes and flies abound. Normally, no one would come ¡­"


    "So as long as we investigate who went to the stream yesterday, there will be a suspect!" Jin Weiwei interrupted him.


    Xiao Fugui nodded his head, "Exactly so."


    "Village Head Grandpa, you heard it all?"


    The village chief also nodded his head, indicating that he had heard and immediately arranged for all the villagers to gather here for questioning.


    After some questioning, it was already close to evening. According to the investigation, there were three people who had visited the stream yesterday. One of them was the Feng Tu Clan that Jin Weiwei had always suspected.


    It just so happened that someone said that he saw Second Fool Wang arguing with the Feng Tu Family on the way home this morning.


    Feng Tu Hu''s suspect index immediately soared to the highest point!

 C20

    Jin Weiwei did not need to beat around the bush. The Village Head immediately decided to go to Feng Tu Hu''s house to collect evidence.


    Even if Feng Tu Hu was unwilling, there was nothing he could do. He could only lead the village chief and the rest towards his home.


    "Open the door!" Arriving at the door of his house, Feng Tu shouted in annoyance, feeling very uneasy.


    Along the way, he wondered if there was anything wrong with what he had done. Other than the fact that he had been seen wandering by the stream, there was no solid evidence. Fortunately, he had only made one imitated sausage.


    "Damn it, why are you shouting so much?" I''m not deaf! " Madame Li swore as she came to open the door.


    The moment the door opened, Jin Weiwei turned to the side, wanting to be the first to rush in and look for evidence. Madame Li immediately stopped her.


    "Hey hey hey, what are you doing?"


    "The village chief asked me to search for evidence!" Jin Weiwei knew that she had randomly barged in, and her reputation didn''t make sense. Thus, she simply opened her mouth and brought the Village Head out.


    "Search for evidence? What evidence?" Madame Li pretended to be confused.


    When she saw the Village Chief bringing everyone to stand at the entrance while Feng Tu was at the side, she knew that the situation was not good.


    "Of course it''s evidence that you made the sausages to harm others!"


    "You, you, you''re lying!"


    Seeing Madame Li suddenly stutter, Jin Weiwei was sure that she must have some ulterior motive. There must be evidence hidden in this house.


    "Wife of the Feng family, don''t worry. We''ll find out once we enter and search if this crotch is really made by you two. If there was nothing else, I wouldn''t have wronged you all so easily. " The Village Chief kindly said.


    Hearing that the village chief wanted to go inside to search, Madame Li became even more flustered, because she saw that the leftover beans were drying neatly on the sunning ground in her backyard.


    So she blocked the door and cried out that she would not go in.


    When everyone saw this, they felt that there was something fishy going on. They all shouted that they had to search the area.


    The Village Chief also frowned. It had to be known that in Xingtian Village, there was no one who could challenge his authority. He said that he wanted to search, but Madame Li actually dared to block him. This was too outrageous.


    "Search!" At the village chief''s order, everyone rushed inside. Madame Li was pushed to the ground and laid on the ground crying loudly, but no one paid any attention to her.


    "Dou Dou, his family does have Dou Dou!" Very soon, someone found the dried beans in the backyard.


    When Feng Tu Hu heard this, his legs softened and he fell to the ground with a thud. He pointed at Madame Li and asked: "You damned wife, didn''t I tell you to throw the rest of your things to the back of the mountain?"


    Madame Li''s nose was covered in tears as she said, "It''s not because our business is too poor recently, so we don''t have much money. I heard you say that this bean could be used to sell in pharmacies, that''s why ¡­"


    "Oh, you stupid woman!"


    Feng Tu Hu was so angry that he could no longer speak, while Madame Li also regretted so much that her intestines turned green.


    Unfortunately, it was already too late. When everyone threw the bean in front of them, the two of them were left speechless.


    Jin Weiwei did not wait for the Village Head to speak and rushed to the front of the two of them. She covered her face with her hands, showing a look of disbelief and heartache.


    "I didn''t expect it to be you? Why do you want to harm this weak girl again and again? Do you really have to destroy the Jin family butcher shop and put me to death? "


    "This is too outrageous. She is always targeting the Jin family''s girl. What kind of deep hatred is this?"


    "Where is there such a deep hatred? I think it''s just the couple who have a wicked heart and want to take over the Jin family''s meat shop."


    "That''s right, I think so too. Didn''t this Feng fella get into an affair with Madame Cao earlier?" I''m sure you have no good intentions from the start. "


    "This kind of person must be severely punished!"


    Jin Weiwei observed the crowd through her fingers. The reason why she was putting on a show was to arouse the public''s sympathy, so that the public would stand on her side. This time, she would not let Feng Tu Hu and Madame Li off easily.


    The Village Chief was also very angry at this moment. Xingtian Village had always been a harmonious village. Aside from the occasional male and female incident, there had never been such a terrible incident that would poison a person to death.


    "Everyone, quiet down!" The village chief raised his voice to suppress the crowd.


    "Our Xingtian Village has always been an honest and honest people from the ancestors. We have never had an evil person. "I never thought that the Feng Tu family would actually do such a dirty thing that poisons people''s lives and framing them, it really shames our whole Xing Tian Village!"


    As the Village Chief spoke to here, he shook his head with an extremely regretful expression.


    "Shameless!" "Shameless!"


    "Throw him out of the village!"


    The crowd became excited, and everyone started to shout again.


    The Village Chief raised his hand, indicating for everyone to wait for him to finish, "Actually, the last time when Feng Tu hid the plague, he had already violated the rules and was kicked out of the village. I let him go when I recited his first offense and thought he was sincere in his repentance. Who would have thought that this woman''s benevolence would almost cause Second Young Master Wang to lose his life. "


    "Village Head Grandpa, how can we blame you?" "I can only say that this damned Feng Tu Clan has taken advantage of your kindness." Jin Weiwei interrupted, "But it''s not too late. Anyway, we already know that he''s such a despicable person. No matter what, we can''t let him stay in Xingtian Village anymore, right?"


    "Yes!" "Cough, cough." The Village Chief forcefully cleared his throat and announced word by word:


    "According to the investigation, the Feng Tu Clan and their wife, Madame Li, behaved inappropriately, and their conduct was vile. First, the Feng Tu Clan and Cao Clan, the wife of a husband, were tainted, and then they deliberately concealed the matter of their own sheep plague, selling sickly sheep meat. Now, the two of them had become even more powerful, actually using crocodiles as food, killing people and even trying to frame the Jin Clan''s butcher, it was truly detestable! From today onwards, the Feng Family''s butcher shop will be closed, and Feng Tu Hu and his wife will be allowed to leave Xing Tian Village within three days. They will not be allowed to return in the future! "


    When everyone heard this, they clapped and cheered.


    Jin Weiwei was also very happy. However, when she thought of the grievances she had suffered, she felt that it would not end well if she only drove them out of the village.


    "Village Grandpa, this evil man caused Big Brother Wang to get sick for no reason and almost didn''t come back after walking around the gates of hell for a while. He also forced me to use a very, very precious ancestral spirit pellet. Shouldn''t he compensate us?"


    The Village Chief stroked his beard and nodded, "What the Jin family girl said makes sense. We should compensate both of your families. "Feng Tu, you immediately take inventory of your property, and give a third of it to the Wang Family and a third to the Jin Family''s girl. Leave a third to yourself to leave."


    "Village Chief, where are you telling us to go? This is the place where we''ve lived for several lifetimes!" At this time, Feng Tu Hu was regretting his decision. He was in so much pain that he was tugging at the corner of the village chief''s shirt without letting go.


    Jin Weiwei was afraid that the village chief would be soft-hearted, so she quickly stepped forward and knocked off Feng Tu Hu''s hand. "As long as you don''t do any more evil in the village, you can go wherever you love."


    "Village head ¡­"


    Feng Tu Hu wanted to say more, but the village chief paused his walking stick: "If you don''t want to leave, do you want me to send you two away?!"


    The Feng Tu couple immediately turned pale. If they were sent to the government, it would not be as simple as losing money and being chased out. Thus, the two of them immediately shut their mouths and no longer had any objections regarding the outcome.

 C21

    After evicting Feng Tu''s family, only the Jin family''s butcher shop remained in Xing Tian village. Jin Weiwei hugged Feng Tu''s silver as she hummed a small tune and returned home.


    Who knew that as soon as he entered the house, he would be surrounded by little rich kids.


    "What are you doing?" Jin Weiwei hugged the silver taels tightly, looking at little Fugui with a vigilant expression.


    "Medicine? Where did you get it from?"


    "It''s said that he''s inherited it from our ancestors!" Jin Weiwei shot him a glare. This little rich kid actually dared to block her in the room. His guts were really growing.


    He saw the little rich kid turn around without a word and bring out a bowl from the kitchen.


    Jin Weiwei took a look. This was the bowl that she had mashed the herbs into juice. He was in a hurry, so he didn''t manage to clean it in time. There were still some scraps left inside. Who would have thought that this little rich guy would catch him. This fellow looked foolish, but in reality, he was paying attention to everything.


    "What grass is this?" the little rich kid asked as he held the bowl up to Jin Weiwei''s nose.


    How could she know what grass this was? He had just randomly grabbed a few handfuls inside the magical door.


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei didn''t answer, little Fugui continued to ask, "Where did the grass come from?"


    "Isn''t it just growing in the northwest corner of the backyard? It''s just some weeds, I''m just messing around with them." Jin Weiwei laughed and tried to get away with it.


    "Not in the backyard, not even in the courtyard." Little Fugui replied with a resolute and decisive tone.


    Ever since he came here on the first day, he had explored all the environments in this house. These past few days, there was not a single stone in this house, nor was there a single blade of grass.


    "Aiyaya, it''s just some broken grass, why are you asking me so clearly?" "Ah, I have to ask you. Last time, you said that asking Doctor Jia for a doctor''s fee was not enough, and you begged him to come. Why did he give me five taels of silver today?" "Speak, where did you get the silver from?"


    The little rich kid turned his head and stopped talking.


    Aiyo, it seems like he was hiding something from her. This won''t do. This little rich kid who ate and drank with her is naturally hers. How could her people hide anything from her?


    Jin Weiwei immediately pulled off the little rich kid''s face, "Quickly tell me, where did the money come from?"


    The two of them looked straight at each other, causing little rich and noble son to feel a bit uncomfortable. He lowered his eyes and said, "I borrowed it."


    Borrowing? What nonsense! Other than himself, how could this little rich kid know anyone else from Xingtian Village.


    From the looks of it, he did not want to say it.


    Jin Weiwei curled her lips. She wanted to ask him more, but when she saw that he was still studying the medicine in his hand, she was worried that he would ask her more. Forget it, since they were hiding it from each other, there was no point in continuing to talk about it, so she quickly said that she was tired and wanted to rest.


    * *


    Although the Feng Tu couple''s mind was not right, they had their own way of doing business. They had accumulated quite a bit of money by opening a butcher''s shop over the years. Although Jin Weiwei only got a third of the share, it wasn''t a small amount.


    In order to realize her dream of strengthening the Jin family''s butcher shop, she gritted her teeth, took out all the money, and put it into the small room next to her own butcher''s shop.


    But it was easy to remember, and hard to do. The room could be bought with money, but who was going to break through the wall? In order to save money, Jin Weiwei naturally chose to rely on herself.


    "Come on, come on, smash here! Use all your strength!" Jin Weiwei ordered the little rich kid to smash the wall.


    Peng, peng.


    Bang, twice.


    The wall was only slightly cracked.


    "Why are you so useless, open it, I''ll do it!"


    Jin Weiwei spat in her hands and snatched the sledgehammer away. She was about to smash it, but she didn''t expect her feet to slip and her hands to relax. Coincidentally, the hammer hit her left foot, causing her to cry out in pain.


    "Aiya, mother, it hurts!" Jin Weiwei picked up her left foot and jumped on one foot. Her body tilted and she lost her balance.


    Upon seeing this, Xiao Fugui hurriedly reached out to hug her, lifting her off the ground.


    In the next second, she discovered that she had fallen into the arms of little rich kids.


    Time seemed to stop here.


    Plop, plop, plop ¡­


    Jin Weiwei didn''t know if this was the sound of her own heart beating, or the sound of the heart beating of a rich child.


    Was this the legendary hug of a princess? Jin Weiwei felt a bit of hidden joy in her heart. It had to be known that both she and the original owner had never experienced this before, but this princess'' hug was exactly the kind of action that would cause a young girl''s heart to beat wildly whenever she thought about it.


    At this moment, she was actually being carried by his princess.


    He stuck close to little Fugui''s firm chest and felt his warm body temperature. Suddenly, Jin Weiwei''s entire face began to burn.


    "Why are you so careless?"


    The slightly reproachful tone made Jin Weiwei instantly sober up.


    "Accident, this was only an accident ¡­" Jin Weiwei pouted, struggling to get down.


    "Don''t move!" Not only did little Fugui not put her down obediently, he even carried her all the way from the butcher''s shop at the east end of the village back to her home.


    Fortunately, they didn''t meet anyone along the way. Otherwise, Jin Weiwei would have been embarrassed to death.


    He carried Jin Weiwei into the room and put her on the bed. Then, he carefully helped her take off her shoes and socks. At this time, her left thumb was already swollen and blue.


    "I''ll go get Doctor Jia." Xiao Fugui said as he prepared to leave.


    "Come back here!" Jin Weiwei hurriedly shouted, "It''s just a hammer strike, how could I bother Doctor Jia with such a small injury. I''ll personally cool down. After a few days of rest, the swelling will naturally disappear."


    Xiao Fugui frowned, disbelief written all over his face.


    "Really, I''m not some young miss of a rich family, so I can''t stand the torments anymore. Look at me, it''s so strong, it''s really alright, I know what I''m doing. " Jin Weiwei raised her arm and made a muscular gesture.


    Little Fugui could do nothing about it, he could only do as she said and help her apply the ice for a while. When something happened to her, he stopped going to the butcher''s, closed the door, and concentrated on taking care of her at home.


    In the middle of the night, Jin Weiwei began to feel pain and swelling in her toes. It was unbearable.


    Then she remembered that there should have been more of the herbs that she had pulled out of the magical door, so she limped into the kitchen, where she took out the herbs she had hidden, crushed them gently, and applied them to the wound.


    She originally thought that she would be like Second Fool Wang last time, immediately having an effect to stop the pain and reduce the swelling, but it seemed that she was wrong this time.


    Until the morning of the next day, the herbs did not have any effect. Her toes were still swollen like a steamed bun and she was still in so much pain that she had to grimace.


    Why is that? Why did this divine plant suddenly lose all of its potency and become just like ordinary grass?


    Could it be that the divine grass wasn''t as all-purpose as he had thought? Or was it that it had to be effective against all kinds of diseases?


    Or could it be that this divine plant had a temporal effect, losing its miraculous healing ability after leaving the magical gate for a long time?


    In other words, the divine grass would ''expire''?

 C22

    Since Jin Weiwei couldn''t bear to spend the money to get a doctor, and the miraculous herb had lost its effect, her foot injury didn''t heal even after a few days, and she could only limp as she worked.


    Feng Tu''s shop was closed. His shop had just been expanded, and the business there was more than double as usual. Jin Weiwei and little Fugui were extremely busy from morning to night.


    This won''t do, Jin Weiwei thought to herself. It seems like it''s time to hire people to help out in the store.


    Early that morning, Jin Weiwei came to the butcher''s shop early and posted a recruitment notice at the most conspicuous place on the door.


    Recruitment


    Due to the expansion of the store, we now need to recruit a small worker. Requirements: male, strong and young, able to endure hardships, quick hands and feet, honest and honest. The wages were paid monthly, and the food was served at noon.


    Jin Jia Meat Shop


    "This wages are not low!" Furthermore, you''re taking care of a meal, not bad, not bad! "


    "What can we do in this butcher''s shop? It''s nothing more than killing pigs and sheep, selling meat. I can do that, let''s go and register."


    The onlookers discussed animatedly, and many of the young adults immediately expressed their desire to apply.


    Seeing so many people enthusiastically signing up, Jin Weiwei thought she would be able to find a happy helper as soon as possible. But who knew that even though there were quite a few people who signed up, Jin Weiwei didn''t find anyone she liked from the day on.


    "What is it? Neither of them are suitable? " Little Fugui looked at Jin Weiwei who was sitting at the side with a worried frown.


    "Isn''t it? "Not a single one." "Alright." Jin Weiwei flipped through the registration form in her hands. The female lead shouldn''t be able to write, so the registration form should be set to be written by the male lead. "


    This person was called Li Daniu. He was quite big and looked very sturdy, but he was very silly. He could only understand two and a half sentences when he talked to him.


    The second was someone who had helped out Feng Tu''s family for a while. His name was Zhou Quan. Although his name was Zhou Quan, his ways of doing things were not very thorough. He would often lose everything, forget about everything else. Back when he was at Feng Tu Hu''s house, he would often forget to collect money or to look for silver. Of course, she wouldn''t take someone who was fired by Feng Tu Hu, so she also took this as a pass.


    The others didn''t say they couldn''t do this, which meant they couldn''t do this. They were sick of the mutton and the pig shit, but they didn''t look like they were serious workers. They just wanted to work less and get more money, so they all took it.


    Jin Weiwei closed her eyes and rubbed her temples. She was too simple-minded. Finding an honest, reliable, and happy assistant wasn''t an easy thing to do.


    "Isn''t there one more?" Little Fugui softly said.


    And? Jin Weiwei followed the gaze of little Fugui''s son. She saw a thin and weak youth standing under a willow tree opposite the butcher''s shop, sneakily looking in their direction.


    Jin Weiwei stood up and waved at him. "Hey, are you here to apply for the butcher''s shop?"


    When the youth heard Jin Weiwei calling him, he hesitated for a moment before running to the door of the butcher''s shop. In a soft voice, he replied, "I, I want to try."


    Jin Weiwei looked this youth up and down. He was shorter than her by a head. He was thin and small, but his pair of eyes were black and bright. He looked like an intelligent person.


    "Do you know how hard it is to work in a butcher''s shop?" Jin Weiwei was a little worried that his small body would be able to handle heavy physical work.


    "I''m not afraid. I can endure hardships." The youth clenched his fists and waved, as if to express his determination.


    "Do you know how to kill pigs and slaughter sheep? Have you come into contact with it before? "


    "Not really, but I can learn it! I can learn anything very quickly. "


    Sure enough, she was a smart child. These words were pleasing to the ears of Jin Weiwei. She wanted to find someone who wasn''t afraid of hardships and was willing to learn. However, he looked very young, and his body seemed to be a bit too weak.


    "Sister, if you are willing to let me stay, I can pay you half of your salary, as long as you are willing to let me eat my fill every day."


    That sounds good. Upon hearing that the youth had proposed to cut the wages by half, Jin Weiwei''s eyes flashed. She immediately came up with a plan. If he was willing to cut his wages by half, it would save him a lot of money. How much could he eat if he ate alone? He looked so emaciated and weak, so much that he could only make two or three more bowls of rice. Counting the situation outside, he should have profited by inviting the other party.


    Jin Weiwei looked at him carefully again. Suddenly, she felt that this young man looked a bit familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.


    "What''s your name?" "Jin Weiwei asked." "A person from the village must have seen it before!"


    "Elder sister, you don''t remember me?" The youth grinned embarrassedly, "I''m Little Qing!"


    "Little Qing?"


    Mm, this name did sound a bit familiar, but Jin Weiwei was still unable to recall it.


    "Tao Xiaoqing, my father is Tao Dazong, and my mother is the Chen Clan." With that, the youth lowered his head with a blush.


    "So it''s you!" Jin Weiwei cried out in alarm. This time, she was completely reminded of him.


    This Tao Xiaoqing was none other than the son of the Chen family who eloped with his disappointing father.


    Tao Xiaoqing''s father was a famous carpenter in Xingtian Village. Not only were his skills good, but he was also hardworking and hardworking. Therefore, in this eight miles village, anyone with a family of wood chores would be willing to ask him for help.


    The three of them were originally living a life of luxury and harmony. At first, he thought that he had received a good deal, but he never thought that there would be an accident. While he was lighting up the house, the rope suddenly broke and the beam fell down, smashing into Tao Dazhao''s head, and he died just like that.


    Fortunately, this rich family is a kind family and does things with a good conscience. In order to build a house for them, Tao Dazong unfortunately died. Not only did they pay for it, but they also paid a large amount of silver to help pay for his widow, Lady Chen, and his only son, Tao Xiaoqing.


    Originally, with this amount of money, if Lady Chen was willing to behave herself, she could have pulled Tao Xiaoqing into adulthood. Unfortunately, people get burned up when they have money. The young widow meets the loose end, and Lady Chen meets Jin Wei''s father, Jin Dabao. The two actually went back and forth, colluding together.


    At this time, Jin Dabao had had enough of the Cao family, and the butcher was too lazy to take care of it. His family''s expenses were stretched to their limits, so he urged Lady Chen to run away with him, wanting to throw away this terrible mess of his family.


    How could she withstand Jin Dabao''s coaxing? After saying a few flowery words, it was as if Lady Chen had been drunk with a bewitching soup. She actually abandoned her son, carrying all the valuables in her family and ran off with Jin Dabao.

 C23

    Poor Tao Xiaoqing had suddenly become an orphan. He really had nowhere else to go, so he could only shamelessly go to his uncle.


    Tao Xiaoqing''s uncle was called Tao Dafu, his father''s younger brother. Logically speaking, if his nephew came to join them, his uncle should take good care of him. Unfortunately, even though Tao Dafu and Tao Dazhao were siblings, born of the same father and mother, their temperaments were completely different.


    Tao Dazong is willing to do, smart to advance, Tao Dafu is lazy to play slick, not enterprising. Everyone knew that the two sons of the Tao family were involved. Every one of them raised their thumbs up when they mentioned their eldest son, and all of them frowned and shook their head when they mentioned their youngest son.


    The Tao family spent all their savings on a wife for Tao Dafu. It was almost the same as buying a wife. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that the daughter-in-law he bought was actually a wicked woman. She had been so domineering in the Tao family, but in the end, she had angered the two elders to death. Because of this, Tao Dazhao and Tao Dazhi separated, and the two families no longer had any ties.


    Now, Tao Xiaoqing, who had nothing on him, came to Tao Dafu''s family with his mouth wide open. How could he attract the attention of others?


    Back then, when Tao Dafu saw Tao Xiaoqing standing outside the door trembling, his face was filled with disdain. When he found out that Lady Chen had carried away all the valuable items in the house, he was even more unwilling to keep Tao Xiaoqing.


    Later on, Tao Xiaoqing agreed to give Tao Dafu the remaining three tiled houses in the house. Only then did he reluctantly agree to leave Tao Xiaoqing.


    Although these three tiled houses weren''t big, Tao Dazong spent a lot of money to build them. Even though it was a little shabby right now, it was still worth a lot of money to sell it.


    However, Tao Dafu did not treat Tao Xiaoqing well just because he had taken these three tiled buildings. On the contrary, he was ordering him around like a servant. Not only did he leave all the work in the fields to him alone, he even ordered him to cook and cook every day.


    What was even more infuriating was that after so much work, Tao Dafu still hadn''t fed him to his heart''s content. It was because Tao Xiaoqing was malnourished when he grew up that he now looked short and thin.


    "Elder sister, please let me stay. I just want to be able to eat a few meals ¡­" Tao Xiaoqing looked at the sausages hanging from the beams of the butcher''s shop and could not help but swallow his saliva.


    The aroma of the Jin family''s butcher''s shop''s sausages drifted ten miles away. Every time Tao Xiaoqing''s stomach rumbled, he would secretly run over to smell the fragrance.


    Looking at Tao Xiaoqing''s pitiful appearance, Qin Ling''s heart softened.


    It was the Chen family''s fault, and it had nothing to do with the child. Furthermore, she had carefully searched through the original owner''s memories and recalled the scene when she played with Tao Xiaoqing. Not only had he never harmed her, but he had also helped her fish and fish. The two of them got along very well.


    "Alright, you can stay. Come to work tomorrow morning." Jin Weiwei paused for a moment before continuing, "Don''t worry, I''m in charge of food. Don''t worry. As for the salary, if I were to reduce it by half, I''m afraid others would say that I bullied you. "But looking at you, you are indeed a bit thin and weak. You can''t do much. How about I subtract 30% of the salary? What do you think?"


    "Thank you big sister, thank you big sister!" When Tao Xiaoqing heard that Jin Weiwei was willing to hire him as a butcher, he was so happy that he didn''t even care about the salary.


    He thanked her profusely and promised that he would work hard and become a good butcher.


    The next day, the sun had just risen. Tao Xiaoqing then came to the west side of the village where the Jin family was waiting at the door.


    When Jin Weiwei opened the door, she saw him. "Why did you come to my house? "Why not just go to the butcher''s and wait there?"


    Tao Xiaoqing blushed and replied innocently, "I''m afraid that Boss has something you want to take. Your legs are not convenient, so I thought I might be able to take it with me."


    Not bad, not bad, really not bad! The attitude of this job is absolutely correct.


    Jin Weiwei secretly praised Tao Xiaoqing in her heart. It seemed like she had not invited the wrong person this time around.


    "There really isn''t anything heavy you need to carry today. The meat in the shop was killed yesterday, so you don''t need to add more today. As for the sausages, you can take them as long as you have money." Saying this, she strenuously crossed the threshold.


    "Big sister, be careful." Seeing how inconvenient Jin Weiwei''s legs were, Tao Xiaoqing subconsciously stepped forward to support her.


    However, just as he placed his hand on Jin Weiwei''s arm, the little rich kid shoved his hand away.


    "Take it." Xiao Fugui stretched out his hand and threw the 10 jin of sausage in his hand to Tao Xiaoqing.


    He then stretched out an arm in front of Jin Weiwei and expressionlessly said, "Hold me."


    What was this fellow doing? Jin Weiwei was stunned. This, why did it seem like she was jealous?


    Jealous? Would he be jealous of himself?


    Jin Weiwei rolled her eyes, pursed her lips into a smile, and put her hand on the little rich kid''s arm, using him as a walking stick.


    Not long later, the trio arrived at the butcher''s shop at the east side of the village.


    Little Fugui brought a chair for Jin Weiwei and helped her sit down. Only then did Jin Weiwei open her mouth and say, "Everyone stop working and listen to me."


    "Now that our butcher shop has expanded, we can''t do whatever we want like in the past. We have to share a division of labor."


    "What elder sister said is right, I will do whatever you want me to do." Tao Xiaoqing responded positively.


    Jin Weiwei nodded and continued, "Little Qing just arrived at the butcher''s shop and isn''t very familiar yet, so you have to do more these days if you want to get familiar with him as soon as possible." Jin Weiwei nodded and continued, "Little Qing just arrived at the butcher''s shop and still isn''t very familiar, so you have to do more than that if you want to get familiar with him.


    "No problem!" Tao Xiaoqing readily agreed.


    "As for little Fugui, you are responsible for collecting money and settling accounts. After managing the inventory, you can calculate how much meat and sausages we prepare every day."


    Xiao Fugui nodded his head in agreement.


    "OK, since no one has any objections to the division of labor, then let''s get to work." After Jin Weiwei had finished distributing the work, she seemed to have found a sense of being the boss, and her heart was filled with joy.


    Early in the morning, the butcher shop was run in a neat and orderly manner.


    Tao Xiaoqing may be small, but he could endure hardships. He had to do it all by himself. In addition, he was very polite to everyone and had a sweet mouth. He was very popular with customers when he was helping out in front of the meat stall, so it could be said that Jin Weiwei was 100% satisfied with his work performance.


    During lunch, Jin Weiwei specially made an extra bowl of Red Braised Meat to reward Tao Xiaoqing. During the period of time, he continued to hold the dishes for Tao Xiaoqing, constantly saying that he had worked hard today, causing Tao Xiaoqing to be extremely moved.


    "Big sister Dong, you are being too nice to me." Tao Xiaoqing said with tears in his eyes as he held a piece of braised pork in his mouth.


    "I should treat you well. As long as you work so hard in the future, I will always be good to you. "


    Jin Weiwei knew that to treat employees, it was necessary to have not only financial incentives, but also emotional investments. Tao Xiaoqing was such a good employee, she had to stay by her side.


    But who would have thought that his happy meal would be interrupted by an unexpected guest?

 C24

    "Little bastard, no wonder I can''t find you anywhere. You came here to play and have fun!"


    A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks suddenly barged in and ran to Tao Xiaoqing''s side. He grabbed his ear and forcefully pulled him off the table.


    Tao Xiaoqing grimaced in pain, but he did not dare to make a sound.


    Because the person who came was none other than Tao Xiaoqing''s mean little uncle, Tao Dafu. Tao Xiaoqing hated and was afraid of him, so he did not dare to resist.


    However, Jin Weiwei could no longer bear to watch any further.


    She actually came to her territory to behave so atrociously, just not putting her, Jin Weiwei, in her eyes!


    "Let him go!"


    "I''m not letting go, what can you do to me?" Tao Dafu stroked his mustache and stared. "I am the one who is going to discipline my nephew. It''s not your place to speak up, an outsider like me."


    Jin Weiwei didn''t expect this Tao Dafu to be so arrogant. She wanted to stand up and teach him a lesson, but it was too bad that her legs weren''t convenient. Thus, she gave a look to little Fugui, hinting for him to help Tao Xiaoqing. Who knew that he would not move at all, pretending to ignore her.


    Jin Weiwei had no choice. Since she couldn''t use force, she might as well use softness.


    She took a deep breath to control her emotions. She forced out a smile and said in a pleasant tone, "I thought you were Xiao Qing''s uncle. I should have also called you Uncle Tao."


    "Sure, I can take responsibility even if you call me uncle." Tao Dafu responded, "He''s my family member. I''ll be taking him away."


    He truly was a shameless person. If he really allowed Tao Xiaoqing to follow him home like this, he probably wouldn''t end up as a good person.


    "Wait a minute, Uncle Tao, you have to listen to what I have to say." Jin Weiwei held her breath.


    "Tao Xiaoqing came to apply for our butcher shop yesterday. I thought he was pretty good, so I hired him. So he''s not here to have fun, but to help out. "


    "Helper? The work in our house, the work in the fields, there''s a lot of work waiting for this little bastard to go back and do. He doesn''t have the time to come to your lousy butcher''s shop and help out.


    With that, Tao Dafu dragged Tao Xiaoqing away.


    "Big sister Dong, big sister Dong ¡­" Tao Xiaoqing shouted twice at Jin Weiwei because he knew that only she could help him now. If he was dragged back by his uncle now, a beating would be inevitable.


    Jin Weiwei''s heart was moved by the shouts from these two big sisters.


    "Uncle Tao is right. Who would be so bored that they have nothing to do after eating that they would go to someone else''s house to help out?" Little Qing is here to collect wages. Six silver coins a month! " Jin Weiwei extended her hand and made a gesture.


    Hearing Jin Weiwei say that she was making money, Tao Dafu finally let go of Tao Xiaoqing. "He can make that much money here? You guys aren''t lying to me, right? "


    "Look at what you''re saying. "You are such an intelligent and capable person. How could a little girl like me deceive you?"


    Jin Weiwei slowly stood up and walked step by step to stand in front of Tao Xiaoqing. She blinked at him and said, "Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and go work inside. "


    Tao Xiaoqing immediately understood. He turned around and ran into the butcher''s shop to hide.


    "Hey, hey, hey, you little bastard. Who let you go?"


    Tao Dafu was about to go and capture her, but Jin Weiwei beat him to it and stopped him at the door.


    "Since Uncle Tao already knows that Xiao Qing is helping out here, then please go back by yourself. We are very busy here." Jin Weiwei didn''t want to be entangled with him any longer, so she directly ordered him to leave.


    "It''s not impossible to have Little Qing stay here to help, but I have a condition ¡­" Tao Dafu stroked the mustache on his upper lip and said, "Don''t give him any salary from now on. Just give it all to me!"


    Tao Dafu''s greedy and shameless appearance made Jin Weiwei disgusted. She impatiently said, "Xiaoqing helped me earn this money, so why should I give it all to you?"


    "The reason is very simple. This child only fed me and stayed with me because I was the one who raised him. Now that he''s grown up and is able to earn money, of course the money should be given to me!"


    How shameless!


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help thinking about Cao''s family. Back then, she had been as pitiful as Little Qing. On the surface, it was Lady Cao who had dragged her up. But in reality, all the heavy work, hard work, and dirty work in the butcher''s shop were done by her alone.


    To put it bluntly, the one who supported this family wasn''t Mrs. Cao, but her, Jin Weiwei. It was obvious that she was raising the Cao family.


    "As far as I know, Little Qing has not been wasting his years of living in your house. All the work in your fields was done by him." Jin Weiwei warned Tao Dafu, hoping that he would be aware of his situation.


    Unfortunately, a shameless person would never feel that he was in the wrong.


    "So what? Isn''t it just some farm work? It''s much harder for me to raise him than it is for me to do farm work! " Tao Dafu had a righteous and confident look on his face.


    "Heh, that''s true. However, I remember that Cao Shi also said that she was the one who raised me. But look at how much she has fallen to now. That is the result of lying with your eyes open. " Jin Weiwei was still unable to hold back her anger at Tao Dafei.


    Tao Dafu was no fool, so he naturally understood the meaning behind Jin Weiwei''s words. This little girl''s words were full of thorns, so he was not a pushover.


    "Aiya, from your tone, you''re implying that I''m just lying with my eyes open. Won''t I meet a good end in the future?"


    Tao Dafu shot a glance at the calm and composed little rich kid standing to the side and confirmed that he did not look like he was going to participate at all. Thus, he rolled up his sleeves and assumed a posture as if he was ready to snatch someone for himself at any time.


    Jin Weiwei glanced with disdain at his two arms that were as thin as hemp rods. Just using a bit of force from this small arm would be able to break it.


    "I''ll ask you one last time, are you going to give it or not?!"


    "Nope!"


    Jin Weiwei had no intention of giving in. Tao Dafu steeled his heart and prepared to barge in.


    "Pa!"


    Jin Weiwei pulled out a pig slaughtering knife from the knife holder and threw it onto the meat table!


    "Do you think our Jin family''s butcher shop is a marketplace? If you want to enter, you can enter. You want to play tough with me, right? "Alright, come on. You want to ask me about this Pig Slaughtering Knife, does it agree or not?!"


    Tao Dafu was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. He had originally thought that Jin Weiwei was just a little girl and that her husband was a foolish beggar. Both of them were people who could be easily bullied. Who would have thought that she would actually flash out her Pig Slaughtering Knife? She was trying to fight him to the death.


    He was not that stupid. Since he was alone, he might as well go back and think things over. In any case, Tao Xiaoqing was his nephew, and no one could deny that he was related by blood. It was impossible for Tao Xiaoqing to escape from his Tathagata Palm.


    "Fine, I''ll take care of you. Damn girl, just you wait and see!" With these words, Tao Dafu ran away.

 C25

    Seeing that Tao Dafu had been scared away by Jin Weiwei''s Pig Slaughtering Knife, Tao Xiaoqing hurriedly came out of the back room, ran to Jin Weiwei and knelt down, "Big sister, you must save me. If my uncle were to bring me back, he would definitely beat me to death. "


    "What are you doing? Get up quickly!" Jin Weiwei pulled Tao Xiaoqing up, "Just because you called me big sister, can I not help you? However, this matter was indeed a bit difficult. After all, he is your uncle, and he has the power to discipline you. Although I have scared him away today, this is not a long-term plan. "


    "Then what should we do?" When Tao Xiaoqing heard this, even Jin Weiwei could not do anything about it. Her heart became more anxious, and even her voice sounded like she was about to cry.


    "Don''t worry, allow me to think about it. There will definitely be a way to solve this." Jin Weiwei patted Tao Xiaoqing''s shoulder and comforted him, "For the time being, you don''t have to go back tonight. Otherwise, if you get beaten up again, you might as well stay in the butcher''s shop for the whole night."


    After settling down Tao Xiaoqing, Jin Weiwei and little Fugui went home together.


    "Why didn''t you help me today?" Jin Weiwei angrily questioned little Fugui as soon as she entered the door.


    "You have to use your brain to do things." Little Fugui slightly pursed his lips as he spoke in a light tone.


    "Of course I know that you need to use your brain to do things, but the situation was urgent, how could you possibly have any other ideas?" Jin Weiwei pouted and sat on the stool. She sighed deeply, "But I can scare him away once, but I can''t scare him away a second time. Tomorrow, Tao Dafu will definitely bring people over to snatch her away. What exactly should I do? "


    Jin Weiwei frowned deeply. She had gone through great difficulty to find Tao Xiaoqing, a good fellow who had pleased her to his heart''s content. He was smart, intelligent, and was also willing to do anything.


    Moreover, her legs were inconvenient and this son of a rich family was only willing to account for it. In this butcher''s shop, everything was done from inside out and she still relied on Tao Xiaoqing for everything. No matter what, she couldn''t let Tao Dafu take Xiao Qing away.


    But now, all reason was occupied by Tao Dafu. If he really were to bring people to capture someone, she wouldn''t be able to do so easily. This was truly worrisome.


    "I have a plan." After a long moment, Xiao Fugui opened his mouth and said.


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up. "If you have a solution, then say it quickly. Why are you still hiding it?" I''m so worried. "


    Xiao Fugui''s lips suddenly curved into a smile, "Come over here, I''ll tell you."


    Jin Weiwei did not doubt him. She immediately went over to him and whispered into his ear.


    The idea was a good idea, so Jin Weiwei''s eyes immediately lit up. However, when the little rich kid spoke, he was too close to her. His voice was low and his breath was hot.


    * *


    Sure enough, early the next morning, when the butcher''s shop opened, Tao Dafu brought a group of people to the butcher''s shop to ask for people.


    When Jin Weiwei took a closer look, the Tao family had invited the Village Head over as well. From the looks of it, if he didn''t capture Tao Xiaoqing today, Tao Dazhao would not let it go so easily.


    "Oh little girl from the Jin family, what happened to you here again?" Why is he snatching my nephew this time around? " The village chief stroked his beard as he asked with a wry smile.


    After the past few times, Jin Weiwei and the Village Head Grandpa had become very familiar with each other. Especially after the village chief kicked Feng Tu out of the village and punished him to compensate Jin Weiwei with a sum of money. Jin Weiwei specially carried five pounds of sausage and came to thank him. Thus, the Village Head now had a very good impression of Jin Weiwei.


    "Village Head Grandpa, how should we explain this? I think Uncle Tao should have already told you about the sequence of events. "


    Although Jin Weiwei was polite on the surface, in her heart, she was thinking, "That sharp mouth monkey must have said a lot of bad things about me in front of the village chief."


    "Yeah, Big Fortune simply told me about it." The village chief nodded his head and said, "You''re recruiting, but you can''t force them, right?"


    Hmph, she had already said that Tao Dafu would speak nonsense in front of the village head.


    "Aiya, Village Head Grandpa. Tao Xiaoqing was the only one who came to apply for the job when I hired. He said that he would let him stay if he wanted to. Who knew that his aunt and uncle were still behind him?"


    "Well, then, this can''t be blamed on you. However, since his family''s elders didn''t want him to come out and help, you should just let them take him away. This is a family matter for the Tao family, it would be better to leave it to them to discuss. "


    Hearing the Village Head''s decision, Tao Dafu smiled at Jin Weiwei with a face full of pride. Damn brat, even the village chief let out some words. This is a family matter for our Tao family.


    Jin Weiwei rolled her eyes at Tao Dafu, turned around and said to Tao Xiaoqing, "You heard it. It''s not that I don''t want to keep you, it''s just that the Village Head Grandpa has already said that this is a family matter, so outsiders are not allowed to interfere. "How about this, if you can make it to noon today, then you don''t need to do it anymore. You can go home."


    "No, he has to come back with us now." Tao Dafu was a bit worried. He had a nagging feeling that Jin Weiwei wouldn''t let him go so easily.


    "Uncle Tao, I already agreed to let Xiao Qing go home, why are you in such a hurry?" After all, he''s been busy with me and my gang for quite a while.


    Tao Dafu wanted to say something, but he did not expect the village head to agree with Jin Weiwei. "Since things come to an end, let Tao Xiaoqing continue to help in the butcher''s shop this morning. Let''s go back after noon."


    He could only bring his men to wait at home. He thought that if Jin Weiwei still didn''t release her after noon, then he would lead his men to smash Jin family''s butcher shop and teach her a lesson.


    Who knew that it wasn''t even noon yet, but Tao Xiaoqing had already returned. Furthermore, he had fled in a panic.


    As soon as he entered the door, he ran straight to Tao Dafu''s side and hugged him, crying as he said, "Uncle, this time you have to help me. I''ve caused a huge disaster!"


    Tao Dafu froze for a moment before hastily pushing Tao Xiaoqing away. He questioned, "You little bastard, what kind of disaster did you cause?"


    Tao Xiaoqing wiped his tears and told the whole story in a choked voice.


    It turned out that this morning, after Tao Dafu left, Jin Weiwei saw that the sausage stock in the butcher''s shop was gone, so she told him to go back to the village west head''s home to help her bring back a few kilograms.


    However, Tao Xiaoqing only realized that he did not know where the sausages were located when he arrived at her house, so he went into the kitchen to look around. But before the sausage could be turned over, he accidentally knocked over a jar on the counter and broke it on the floor.


    "It''s just a broken jar, what''s the big deal." Tao Dafu was puzzled.


    "Uncle, you don''t know, but this jar itself isn''t important. The most important thing is what''s inside. That can be a priceless treasure." Tao Xiaoqing rubbed his nose and cried loudly.

 C26

    "What a joke. What priceless treasure could her family possibly have? Tell me about it." Tao Dafu didn''t believe that a little girl who sold meat could hide priceless treasures in her house.


    "Of course it''s priceless! It''s my family''s secret recipe. Those are life-saving spiritual medicines. " As Jin Weiwei spoke, she stepped into the small courtyard of the Tao family.


    "You, who let you in?!" When Tao Dafu saw Jin Weiwei, he knew that she must have come with ill intentions.


    "Your nephew destroyed my medicine jar and wasted my spiritual medicine. I came here to compensate you!"


    Just as Jin Weiwei finished her sentence, Tao Xiaoqing hid behind Tao Dafu with a pitiful look on his face. He said loudly, "I was the one who smashed the item. That''s right, but I don''t have the money to compensate you."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei was not anxious. She reached out her hand to stroke the corner of her clothes and slowly said, "As long as you admit that you smashed the thing." You don''t have money, but your uncle does, right? You can''t afford it, as long as your uncle can. "


    The moment Tao Dafu heard that Jin Weiwei intended for him to pay her money, his face immediately fell.


    Tao Xiaoqing immediately held onto Tao Dafu''s arm and begged, "Uncle, uncle, you have to help me!"


    "Help what, you money-losing thing!" Tao Dafu pushed Tao Xiaoqing away, pointed at Jin Weiwei''s nose, and cursed mischievously, "Stupid girl, who do you think you are, to compensate me just because you told me to?! Get out, get out, get out! "


    With that, he directly wanted to push Jin Weiwei out of the door.


    However, before he could even touch the hem of Jin Weiwei''s clothes, little Fugui appeared in front of him.


    "Aiyo, you stinking beggar, now you''re protecting your wife, get up!" Tao Dafu relied on his family''s strength and numbers to not put Jin Weiwei and little Fugui in his eyes.


    Unfortunately, his courage was no less than a mouse''s. He tried his best to push little rich son away, but not only did he not do so, he was even rebounded back by little rich son. He took three steps back with a ''thump thump'', and luckily, someone from the back reached out to catch him.


    Jin Weiwei was happy inside, but she still wore a serious expression on her face.


    "I say, Uncle Tao, I''ve come today to properly reason with you. Why did you make the first move?" Jin Weiwei pouted. "Isn''t it perfectly justified to pay back the debt by smashing things to pay the debt?"


    Jin Weiwei swept a glance at the people in the yard. They were all people that Tao Dafu had called over to get from the butcher''s shop. The reason why they were gathered here was because they were worried that Jin Weiwei would not let them go, so they wanted to continue causing trouble in the afternoon.


    "Brothers, sisters, and uncles, although you are all close friends of the Tao family, I believe that you are all reasonable people. Please give your judgment today."


    Jin Weiwei took a look and saw a stocky man in the crowd nod his head slightly. She immediately walked up to him and bowed, "This big brother, tell me, this Tao Xiaoqing smashed my spiritual medicine. Should I compensate him?"


    The sturdy man didn''t hesitate and nodded his head, "Of course I''ll compensate you for smashing someone else''s thing."


    "Then if Tao Xiaoqing has no money, shouldn''t his family''s adults compensate him with money?"


    "Since his own child caused such trouble, of course his own adults have to pay for it." The brawny man was very shrewd and could say whatever he wanted to say.


    When the crowd heard his words, they could not help but nod in agreement.


    Seeing that he had hired a helper to help Jin Weiwei, Tao Dafu couldn''t help but feel annoyed. "Stinky girl, stop trying to seduce the masses!"


    "Sure, as expected of someone who had studied for a few days. He even used the word ''bewitching''." Jin Weiwei sneered, "I''m clearly trying to reason with you, but you said I''m bewitching the masses. Since that''s the case, why don''t we just report this matter to the officials?"


    "A reporter? What big matter? Was it worth reporting? The matter of Xingtian Village shall be settled in Xingtian Village. " At some point, the Village Chief had appeared in front of Tao''s house.


    "Village Chief, Grandpa, why have you come?" Jin Weiwei immediately limped forward to support him.


    "Jin family''s girl, you really make people worry." The village chief sighed and shook his head helplessly.


    He originally thought that the conflict between the Tao and Jin families had been resolved in the morning at the butcher''s shop, and Jin Weiwei promised to release them after noon. He never thought that someone would come and inform him that Jin Weiwei had run over to the Tao family to cause trouble even before lunch.


    Jin Weiwei smiled mischievously. "You really can''t blame me for this." Furthermore, I knew that grandpa chief was very busy with matters, and was afraid that I would give you trouble. Originally, I had no intention of disturbing you, and wanted to solve the problem myself.


    With that, she shot a glance of approval at little Fugui from the corner of her eyes. Actually, the person who informed her of this was someone that had been arranged by the little rich kid in advance. After entering the small courtyard of the Tao family, the person at the back took a coin and ran over to report to the Village Head''s house.


    "Is it okay if I don''t come? "You even said that you would solve the problem yourself. You''ve already caused so much trouble that you need to report it to an official. Can you solve the problem yourself?" The village chief pretended to be angry.


    Jin Weiwei quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake. "The thing is, Village Head Grandpa taught me a lesson. This Tao Dafu is simply unreasonable. I really don''t have any other way. I hope Village Head Grandpa can uphold justice for me."


    With that, Jin Weiwei recounted the entire sequence of events.


    "Tao Xiaoqing, is what she said the truth? Are you sure you broke that medicine jar? " the village chief asked.


    "That''s right, I did break it ¡­" Tao Xiaoqing admitted it again.


    "Since this is the case, the matter is simple. Tao Xiaoqing broke the spiritual medicine jar, and the Tao family will compensate the Jin family with money."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei smiled brightly, "Village Head Grandpa is right. As long as they pay me, I will be fine. I also don''t have much. Just pay me a thousand taels of silver!"


    A thousand taels!


    Everyone was shocked. They had only heard of this number in their dreams. Perhaps no one in Xingtian Village had seen so much silver before.


    "Damned girl!" You are asking for a sky-high price, asking for a sky-high price! "


    Originally, Tao Dafu didn''t want to pay up. However, due to the village head''s authority, he couldn''t not accept it. He didn''t expect that this girl would ask for an astronomical figure. She was clearly trying to humiliate him.


    "A thousand taels?" Isn''t that too much? " The village chief frowned.


    "Uncle Fu even knows how to use the word ''sky-high asking price''. Not bad, not bad." Jin Weiwei mocked him again, "But a thousand liang isn''t a lot. Don''t you know that this is the ancestral spirit pellet of the Jin Clan? Didn''t you all know how effective it is in bringing the dead back to life? "


    Everyone had seen the effects of this Spirit Pill before. It was the time when they had treated Second Fool Wang.


    If it was true, a single Resurrection Pill would be worth thousands of gold, but such a large sum of money was something the Tao family could not afford. Even if they sold Tao Dafu, they could not afford it.

 C27

    At this moment, Tao Dafu began to use his reneging skills again. He raised his neck and said, "With so much money, even if I were beaten to death, I wouldn''t be able to afford it." "In short, if you want money, you don''t have one. If you want life, you only have one!"


    Who knew that not only did Jin Weiwei not get angry, she even went along with his words and said, "Fine, since you don''t have any money, you can give your life to me. I also want it."


    The crowd burst into an uproar.


    Tao Dafu was even angrier. "Damned girl, you must have come on purpose to go against me. If you want to force me to death, then so be it!"


    "Who wants to force you to death? I said I would pay with my life, not because I want you to die. "Since you guys can''t take out that much money all of a sudden, then use work to repay the debt. If you come to our butcher''s shop to help out, then I''ll deduct the money until the debt is completely deducted."


    What if he sold himself to the Jin family as a slave?


    Tao Dafu clenched his teeth and hatefully said, "Damn brat, it''s impossible for you to make me your slave!"


    When he saw Tao Xiaoqing standing there silently, his anger flared up. Therefore, he pushed Tao Xiaoqing out of the room. "He smashed this thing. If he wants to repay this debt, he will have to pay it back!"


    Jin Weiwei blinked and said, "It''s still the same for everyone, but there''s no proof. Since the Village Head is here today, we can prepare a written proof of how much debt we owe and how long we have to help him. We can do it clearly so that some people won''t go back on their word."


    Thus, the Jin and Tao families began negotiating under the leadership of the village chief. After a round of bargaining, Tao Dafu finally agreed to Tao Xiaoqing helping the Jin family for ten years.


    After writing the documents, both sides pressed their hand seals. Jin Weiwei carefully hid Tao Xiaoqing''s'' indenture contract ''in her bosom.


    "Since you have made everything clear, I will take Tao Xiaoqing away now."


    No one had any objections.


    Jin Weiwei added, "From today onwards, Tao Xiaoqing is my man. I''ll control food when you''re hungry, I''ll control medicine when you''re sick, and bury him when he''s dead. No matter what happens, you Tao family must not interfere, remember?"


    At this moment, Tao Dafu couldn''t wait to chase Tao Xiaoqing, this unlucky star, as far away as possible. Naturally, he agreed quickly.


    Only then did Jin Weiwei nod in satisfaction. She thanked the village chief, led little Fugui and Tao Xiaoqing, and swaggered home.


    When Jin Weiwei had disappeared, Tao Dafu was stunned for a moment before he suddenly shouted, "This is not right!"


    Everyone was puzzled. However, Tao Dafu pounded his chest and stomped his feet. "How did I end up falling for this stinking girl''s trick?"


    "What''s going on?" Everyone asked.


    Tao Dafu gritted his teeth and said, "Did you not see that this was a play that the three of them had agreed upon?"


    In the morning, Jin Weiwei had agreed to let Tao Xiaoqing go home, and she immediately assigned him to her house to retrieve something. What a coincidence, she didn''t smash the vat, but she did smash that jar instead?


    And was the jar filled with elixirs or not? From beginning to end, Jin Weiwei had been the only one talking. No one had seen it.


    However, Tao Xiaoqing insisted the moment he came back that he had smashed a jar of elixir, leaving him no room for debate. He would not believe it even if he was beaten to death if he said that these two people had not been agreed upon beforehand!


    When everyone heard Tao Dafu''s words, they also came to a realization. Together with Jin Weiwei and Tao Xiaoqing, they performed this act in order to allow Tao Xiaoqing to escape from Tao Dafu''s clutches.


    "What a cunning little girl!" Tao Dafu cursed Jin Weiwei a thousand times in his heart, but everything was set in stone.


    This time, Tao Dafu could only admit defeat.


    * *


    "What makes you so happy?" The Village Head''s daughter-in-law Zhen asked as she poured wine for the Village Head.


    The old man had been smiling merrily ever since he came back. It was as if he had met with some happy event.


    The Village Chief took a sip of the old wine, smacked his lips and said, "If I told you, you might not believe me. Today, I was played by a little girl."


    Zhen Shi heard and laughed, "Are you sick? To be so happy when you''ve been tricked by others. "


    "She not only tricked me, she also tricked a large group of people. All of us, ten or so people, all accompanied her as she sang a great play." The village chief threw a peanut into his mouth and said, "This girl, she''s not simple ¡­"


    The more Madam Zhen listened, the more curious she became. She pestered the Village Chief to explain everything that had happened this afternoon in detail.


    "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk ¡­" Madam Zhen could not help but click her tongue, showing a look of disdain. "This girl from the Jin family is way too scheming. A girl like her, I''m afraid that her family''s man will not be able to control her."


    "What do you know?" The village head stared at Zhen Shi and said, "What are you talking about? This was called intelligence, this was wisdom! For a girl to be able to come up with such a good plan despite knowing how to use her wits, she definitely wasn''t simple ¡­ "Ai, if she wasn''t already married, she would be a good match for the heroes of our family ¡­"


    "How is she worthy of our family background? I think you''re really too old and muddleheaded!" Zhen Shi''s face was filled with displeasure as she snatched the wine cup from the village head, "Who are we? This was a dignified Elementary Scholar! That teacher in the county''s private school didn''t praise him for being smart? "He''s going to be a great official in the future. He''s going to bring glory to our Fan family and bring honor to our ancestors. How could he possibly marry a wild girl like Jin Weiwei?"


    "Look at you, why are you in such a hurry?" It''s not because I see that the Jin family''s girl has some knowledge, but because she''s not bad looking and is also smart and quick-witted, that''s why she said so casually. "


    The village chief snatched back his glass and took another sip of wine. "Furthermore, she''s already married to that little beggar. How could I let Shiying marry her ¡­"


    After the village chief finished speaking, he burped and looked outside the gate with a regretful expression.


    * *


    Tao Xiaoqing has worked even harder since he followed Jin Weiwei home. After two days of paving in the butcher''s shop, Jin Weiwei finally brought him home. She vacated the small house beside the sheepfold that used to contain all the junk, and cleaned it so that Tao Xiaoqing could live inside.


    "Little Qing, I made two sets of new clothes for you. Come and see if you like them or not." Jin Weiwei came to Little Qing''s room with two sets of new clothes.


    Tao Xiaoqing ran over quickly and stared at the clothes in Jin Weiwei''s hands with a look of disbelief. "Big Sister, are these new clothes that you made for me?"


    Ever since Tao Xiaoqing had settled in his uncle''s house, he had never bought a new set of clothes. His clothes were sewn and patched, and the original fabric of his clothes could no longer be seen.


    Jin Weiwei smiled. "Of course it''s for you. Hurry and take it."


    Tao Xiaoqing rubbed his hand against her body before taking the clothes from her, "Thank you, thank you, Big Sister Dong!"

 C28

    Seeing Tao Xiaoqing''s incomparably excited expression, Jin Weiwei also felt happy. The only reason she gave him a room and made him new clothes was to let him calm down and help him with his work.


    "How is it? Are the clothes suitable? "


    "It''s suitable, it''s suitable. How could the clothes made for me by Big Sister Dong Fang not be suitable?" Tao Xiaoqing was grinning from ear to ear.


    "It''s good as long as it''s suitable. Then you should rest early. I''ll go check on the animals." Jin Weiwei turned around to leave.


    "It''s so late, is big sister still going to the barn?" Tao Xiaoqing quickly took off his new clothes. "Your legs were not well to begin with. Now that the sky is dark, you can tell me to do whatever you need to do."


    Jin Weiwei''s heart warmed when she heard this. As expected, she didn''t love him for nothing. This Tao Xiaoqing was definitely a good child who knew how to repay favors.


    "Actually, it''s not a big deal. I''m just used to taking a walk before sleeping to check the sheepfold. If the door to the pigsty is closed, it will prevent any wild beasts from sneaking in at night. "While we''re at it, let''s see if these sheep and pigs have a rest."


    "If Big Sister Boss trusts me, leave this kind of investigation to me at night to me. I guarantee that I will carefully inspect it every night!" Tao Xiaoqing patted his chest and said very seriously.


    Jin Weiwei looked at his serious expression and smiled, "You''ve already patted your chest. How can I not trust you? "Then I''ll go back to my room to rest, and leave the inspection to you."


    Tao Xiaoqing stood at attention and answered solemnly, "Sister Dong, don''t worry. I will do it well!"


    * *


    This Tao Xiaoqing was truly diligent. Ever since Jin Weiwei had made him two new sets of clothes, he seemed to have treated her like his own sister, and was worrying about everything.


    In the morning, before dawn, Tao Xiaoqing got up and started to make porridge. When Jin Weiwei had finished washing up, steaming hot porridge had already been served overnight.


    Afraid that she would be tired from walking, Tao Xiaoqing deliberately went to the back of the mountain to find a suitable tree branch after closing time in the butcher shop. He diligently polished and polished it to give it to Jin Weiwei as a walking stick.


    Usually, whenever he saw Jin Weiwei raise her hand to grab something, he would shout out, "Big sister, leave me alone!"


    Jin Weiwei really liked Tao Xiaoqing the more she saw him, and she was extremely happy in her heart. From time to time, she would praise him for his ability. However, every time she praised Xiaoqing, she would discover that little Fugui had a long face and was silent, with a displeased look on his face.


    "Hey, look at how capable Little Qing is. He can wash clothes and cook. "Since you don''t know anything, it''s fine if you just eat and drink for free, but you''re still trying to put on a cold front in front of him. Who are you trying to scare?"


    Little Fugui looked up at Jin Weiwei, but didn''t respond to her question. Instead, he lowered his head and continued to calculate.


    Unsatisfied with little rich kid''s attitude, Jin Weiwei walked to his side and poked his shoulder with her finger.


    "Didn''t you hear me speak up for you? In the future, you should treat Xiao Qing better. Don''t put on a face in front of him all day and smile merrily, otherwise, if you scare off my good buddy, I''ll only ask you! "


    It just so happened that Tao Xiaoqing walked in from the outside and heard Jin Weiwei''s words. He quickly smiled and said, "Sister Dong is so good to me. No matter what happens, I won''t leave you."


    Jin Weiwei was overjoyed when she heard this. She covered her mouth and giggled. "Our family''s Xiaoqing really knows how to talk. No wonder all those aunts like to buy meat from you."


    Tao Xiaoqing was somewhat embarrassed by her words and gave a bashful smile.


    Xiao Fugui didn''t seem to like the two of them joking around. He forcefully closed the account book, stood up and left.


    "Hey hey, have you finished counting today? Why did you leave just like that? "


    Jin Weiwei watched as the little rich kid left without looking back. She was a bit puzzled, just what was wrong with this guy? Why was he so angry these days?


    The next day, Jin Weiwei was waiting for Tao Xiaoqing to call her for breakfast as usual. But she couldn''t wait any longer. Rubbing her stomach that was growling with hunger, Jin Weiwei ran to the kitchen herself.


    Before they even got to the kitchen, Jin Weiwei choked on the cigarette smoke in the room, and her eyes started to tear up. "Hey, Little Qing, what are you doing? Are you trying to burn my kitchen? "


    "He went to the butcher''s."


    Jin Weiwei gave a start. This wasn''t Little Qing''s voice.


    She forcefully waved away the smoke in front of her and upon closer inspection, she immediately burst out laughing.


    He saw the little rich boy squatting beside the stove, quickly adding some hay. For some reason, his face was covered with black dust, and his whole face was like a big cat.


    "What are you doing?" Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but laugh when she saw his sorry state.


    "Boil the porridge." Little Fugui didn''t seem to know that he had changed his face.


    "Boiled porridge?" Is there anyone who can cook porridge like you? " Jin Weiwei was laughing so hard that she could barely stand up. "Come quickly and let me see what kind of delicious porridge you''re cooking that can cause the entire kitchen to be filled with smoke and miasma."


    After saying that, Jin Weiwei walked to the side of the wok. She lifted the wok lid to take a look, and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "Heavens, don''t tell me you''ve poured all of our rice into the wok? Are you treating me like a pig?" Jin Weiwei didn''t know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at the full pot of rice.


    This little rich kid clearly didn''t know how to cook. Why did he suddenly want to cook porridge on a whim?


    What he was doing now was a complete mess. He filled a pot with rice and only put a little water. The fire in the stove was obviously not completely lit yet, but he was still stuffing hay inside, causing the entire kitchen to be filled with smoke.


    How could little Fugui not hear that Jin Weiwei was teasing him? He put down the poker in his hand, stuck his head out of the pot and looked at the rice. "Too much?"


    Nonsense, of course!


    Jin Weiwei rolled her eyes at him helplessly. "Go get a basin and scoop up the excess rice to dry."


    The little rich kid obediently took out a large basin. Jin Weiwei scooped out three quarters of a meter and filled it up with water. "We''ll have enough porridge to drink for a few days."


    Then she pulled little Fugui to the stove, squatted down, and took out all the dry grass from the stove. "Also, this fire has to be done meticulously, so you can''t tuck it all together. Look, you stuffed so much hay inside, suppressing the flames, and it''s all smoke."


    After emptying the stove, Jin Weiwei picked up a few pieces of thin firewood, broke them into pieces, and placed them in the stove. "Come, let me teach you how to heat the fire."


    She then picked up a handful of hay and gave it to Fugui. "First, use the fire piston to light it up, then use it to ignite the firewood inside, and then keep fanning it. You must wait for the firewood to completely burn up, then continue to add more firewood.


    Xiao Fugui took the hay, and seriously followed Jin Weiwei''s instructions, step by step. Soon, the fire in the stove began to blaze.

 C29

    "Well, why don''t you start a fire? You''re not stupid, you know how to do it."


    Hearing Jin Weiwei''s praise, little Fugui unexpectedly smiled for the first time.


    Although he had a face full of black ash, just like a mottled cat, his smile still made Jin Weiwei stunned.


    Why did he look so nice when he smiled? It was like a gust of spring wind that wrinkled the lake in her heart. Jin Weiwei''s heart skipped a beat for no reason.


    Why hadn''t she noticed it before? No, it wasn''t that he hadn''t noticed, it was that he almost never smiled. Jin Weiwei thought that she must think of a way to make him smile more in the future. Otherwise, it would be a complete waste of his beautiful smile.


    Finally, with the help and guidance of Jin Weiwei, the first bowl of porridge for little rich kids was finally ready.


    The two of them washed their faces and started to eat.


    "Hm, it smells so good." Jin Weiwei picked up the bowl of porridge and began sucking on it. Soon, a full bowl of porridge entered her five viscera temple.


    Seeing how satisfied Jin Weiwei was eating, the little rich kid smiled again.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t believe her eyes. He, who usually had a straight face every day, actually smiled at her twice in the morning.


    This time, not only was the smile on his face, but even his face was beaming.


    For a moment, Jin Weiwei was actually embarrassed by his smile. "What are you laughing at?"


    The little rich kid didn''t reply, but scooped another half a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Jin Weiwei.


    "You want me to eat it? I have already eaten my fill, how can I continue to eat? Do you really think I''m a pig? " Jin Weiwei patted her belly and burped loudly.


    Unexpectedly, Xiao Fugui still pushed the congee towards her and softly said, "You''re too skinny."


    Jin Weiwei was stunned. What did he say?


    How could she hear the doting tone in his voice? Was he feeling sorry for her? King tasted a slight sweetness in his heart and could not help but let his imagination run wild again.


    * *


    It was unknown whether it was due to the constant walking or the fact that she was already severely injured, but the injury on Jin Weiwei''s foot still didn''t heal even after a long time.


    Jin Weiwei was worried. She had been planning to sneak into the magical door to try out the herbs when there was no one around. Unfortunately, during these two days, little rich and rich children followed her like shadows, doing everything personally. Besides eating and sleeping, the two of them were practically inseparable.


    "Little Fugui?"


    "Big sister Dong, stop shouting. Big brother Fu Gui has just left early this morning after eating breakfast." Tao Xiaoqing said as he planned to head out to the butcher''s shop.


    Out? Where did this little rich kid go, and why didn''t he greet her? This was getting more and more outrageous.


    However, this was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of Xiao Qing''s absence and send him away. That way, he could secretly open the magical door.


    "I didn''t sleep well last night, and I''m still a bit tired now. I really don''t want to go to the store. Why don''t you go and open it yourself?" Jin Weiwei yawned loudly, pretending to be very tired.


    "Since Big Sister Dong is so tired, then you should rest at home today. I can go by myself." Without a doubt, Tao Xiaoqing went out to open a shop.


    Jin Weiwei lay by the yard door. After confirming that Tao Xiaoqing had gone far, she quickly skipped back into the house. After chanting the incantation, the magical door appeared again.


    When Jin Weiwei opened the door, she did not care about the injury to her foot, and jumped in with a stride.


    Ah, the air here is still so fresh, the sun is still so warm, the sky is still so blue, the grass is still so green, really a paradise.


    Jin Weiwei opened her arms, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. He suddenly felt refreshed and relaxed. He really wanted to lie down on the grass and have a good night''s sleep.


    Let''s get down to business first.


    Why did the previous herb not work? Was it not fresh enough? Or was it because medicinal herbs were also divided into different types?


    With a hint of doubt in her voice, Jin Weiwei began to observe the herbs. It was as if they all had the same appearance, making no difference at all.


    Suddenly she realized that something was wrong.


    She looked at the gate, then at the cliff, and the distance between them seemed to increase. On closer look, it really was because the original place was filled with herbs. But now, near the cliff, there appeared a large empty space with nothing growing on it.


    This magical space could actually expand on its own? Jin Weiwei found it extremely interesting.


    She walked to the open space and saw that the new land was very flat and fertile. Tsk tsk, wouldn''t it be a waste to not grow something? What''s more, the Feng Shui in this magical space was so good, maybe everything he grew would be extraordinary.


    Thinking of this, she decided to prepare some vegetables and fruits for the next time.


    After making up her mind, Jin Weiwei sat on the ground and conveniently plucked a few herbs, chewed them and spread them on her feet.


    I wonder if this is true? She tried to move her legs.


    It actually didn''t hurt anymore!


    Jin Weiwei stood up happily and took two more steps back and forth. Sure enough, the wound on her foot had already healed.


    This herb was too magical!


    It seemed that it could really cure all kinds of diseases. It just needed to be used at a fresh time and would lose its effect once the "shelf life" was over.


    Now she finally understood the secret.


    Jin Weiwei didn''t dare to waste too much time inside the magical door. If little rich and the others came back early and found out that they weren''t home, it wouldn''t be easy to explain. Thus, she cleaned up the herbs on her feet, put on her shoes and socks, and hurriedly ran back into the real world.


    It was just that she didn''t expect to run into Doctor Jia just as she was walking out of the backyard.


    "Doctor Jia? "Why are you here?"


    When Doctor Jia heard this, he smiled. "I''ve come to see you, naturally."


    As he spoke, he glanced at the little rich kid beside him.


    Needless to say, this little rich kid must have hidden it from her and secretly invited Doctor Jia over. No wonder he went out without a word early in the morning. He went to the town to get her a doctor.


    "Then I''m really sorry, I might have let you come here for nothing today." Jin Weiwei stretched out her foot and turned it back and forth a few times. "You see, my foot wound has already healed."


    Doctor Jia frowned.


    When little Fugui asked him out in the morning, he even said that Jin Weiwei''s feet were severely injured and she was in so much pain that she couldn''t walk. How come in such a short time, she was able to run as if she was flying?


    "Since I''ve come, let me take a look." Dr. Jia insisted on seeing the wound on Jin Weiwei''s foot.


    Jin Weiwei had no choice but to have Doctor Jia check it again.


    Indeed, as Jin Weiwei had said, the wound on her foot had completely healed.


    Doctor Jia was inwardly puzzled. According to what little rich son had said, her foot injury was most likely a bone dislocation. How could it automatically heal without treatment? And from the looks of it now, there was not a single trace of injury.


    "Miss''s foot injury must not be healed by itself, right?" Doctor Jia could not help but wonder, "May I ask Miss, how did you treat this foot wound?"

 C30

    Jin Weiwei smiled. "To be honest, this is my family''s secret recipe."


    "Ancestor secret formula?" He rubbed his beard, smacked his lips, and looked at Jin Weiwei, "To tell you the truth, the last time you treated Second Fool Wang, I wanted to ask, your father and I also knew each other, why is it that I''ve never heard him mention that the Jin family still has a secret formula?"


    Speaking of which, Doctor Jia and Jin Weiwei''s father, Jin Dabao, could be considered to know each other. But Jin Dabao was a person who loved to gamble and laze around. He had never heard him mention that there was any ancestral secret recipe. If the Jin Clan really had this kind of ancestral secret medicine, Jin Dabao would have already sold it.


    Moreover, last time Doctor Jia was very puzzled and curious, so he went back and asked around. He confirmed that Jin Dabao had never had any kind of ancestral secret recipe, so where did this ancestral secret recipe come from?


    Jin Weiwei thought for a moment and immediately replied:


    "Of course, because this is not the secret recipe of the Jin family, but something that my mother secretly left to me. My father naturally doesn''t know about this ¡­" What? Doctor Jia seems to be especially interested in this ancestral secret recipe? "


    Hearing the dissatisfaction in her words, Doctor Jia found it inconvenient to pursue the matter any further. He changed the topic and said with an embarrassed smile:


    "When the people who practice medicine see the spirit medicine that can save lives, we naturally can''t help but ¡­" Heh heh, lady, please do not be offended. "


    Then, he brought up the request to invite Jin Weiwei to visit his house.


    She had only met Doctor Jia two or three times and he had already invited her to be his guest. This caused Jin Weiwei to mutter in her heart.


    However, despite Jin Weiwei''s repeated rejections, Doctor Jia still insisted on inviting her to be a guest. Helpless, Jin Weiwei could only say that it would be inconvenient for her today. She would definitely pay a visit some other day.


    After receiving Jin Weiwei''s promise, Doctor Jia was satisfied and prepared to leave. However, he was unwilling to accept her payment.


    "Doctor Jia, you should take it. I came all the way here, I can''t let you come all the way here for nothing, can I?"


    Doctor Jia waved his hand, "I''ve said that from now on I will not take any more money from this young lady. How can a person go back on their word?"


    Seeing that he was so stubborn, Jin Weiwei sighed in her heart. She didn''t want to owe him too much, so she quickly asked little Fugui to bring some sausages and meat as a gift to Doctor Jia.


    * *


    "Dong, dong, dong."


    Jin Weiwei had just finished lunch and was about to take a break when she heard someone knocking on the door. It was noon and the sun was high in the sky. Who would come at this time?


    Jin Weiwei wanted to call for Tao Xiaoqing to open the door, but she suddenly remembered that Xiaoqing had stayed in the butcher''s shop for lunch. If she were to call for the rich and wealthy child, she might not be able to get rid of him, so she quickly sat up from the bed and prepared to open the door.


    Unexpectedly, today, little Fugui was very diligent and took the initiative to open the door.


    "Doctor Jia, why is it you?" When Jin Weiwei saw who it was, she secretly felt puzzled. He had clearly recovered from the injury on his foot, so why did he come here today when he just left yesterday? Could it be that in his heart, he was still plotting against her family''s secret method?


    "What? It seems like Miss Jin doesn''t welcome me coming to visit?" Doctor Jia said. Without waiting for Jin Weiwei''s invitation, he walked straight into the room, found a chair, and sat down.


    "Doctor Jia''s words are wrong. Since we are all guests, how could I not welcome you?" Jin Weiwei followed up behind Doctor Jia and asked, "But I really do not know why Doctor Jia is here today. We don''t seem to have any sick people or animals here. "


    After Doctor Jia sat down, he lifted his gown and said, "I said that I want to be friends with this lady. Other than visiting patients, can''t I just visit friends'' homes?"


    "Yes, yes, of course." Jin Weiwei smiled as she brewed a cup of tea for him, but in her heart she couldn''t help but mutter to herself. This Doctor Jia''s way of doing things was a bit strange.


    Jin Weiwei did not want to beat around the bush with Doctor Jia, so she said a few polite words, and directly asked, "However, Doctor Jia is a famous doctor in the town and a very busy person. You did not come to my house under such a poisonous sun, did you really come to visit, right? I think that if you have something to say, Doctor Jia might as well say it directly. "


    "Good, Lady Jin is a straightforward person." Doctor Jia gave a thumbs up and praised, "As the saying goes, do not visit the Three Treasures Hall unless you have something to say. I do have a request for the girl today. "


    She knew that he must have some motive for coming here today.


    "Doctor Jia, please speak your mind."


    "I want to buy fifty catties of sausage and thirty catties of meat from the girl, for a total of eighty catties." Doctor Jia displayed a total of eight words.


    "Why did Doctor Jia buy so much meat and sausages?" Jin Weiwei was puzzled. Didn''t they just give him a few catties yesterday? Why did he come here today just to buy so many?


    "To be honest, I brought Aunt Jin''s meat and sausages back home yesterday, and coincidentally, there were some relatives who came to visit, so I gave some to them along the way. I didn''t expect that after they went back to eat last night, they really liked it, so they came to my house early this morning to ask me to buy some."


    Doctor Jia laughed awkwardly, "I didn''t know that they would be so delicious. After calculating everything, they actually want me to bring back 80 catties."


    Jin Weiwei suddenly realized that he was after her sausage. This was easy to do as she was a merchant. Since someone had come to buy things, she naturally couldn''t wait.


    "So Doctor Jia is here to take care of my business." A smile blossomed on Jin Weiwei''s face. "You''re still talking about whether I should ask for it or not. I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for helping me promote it."


    "Not at all, I don''t know anything about marketing. This is entirely because of the good quality of your meat and the authentic taste of the sausages. That''s why it''s so popular."


    This sentence sounded really soothing. Jin Weiwei smiled until she narrowed her eyes.


    "30 jin of meat is easy to handle. Just pick which piece of meat Doctor Jia wants and I''ll cut it for you. It''s only 50 jin of sausage ¡­"


    Although the sausages sold in the Jin family''s butcher shop were always hot, in order to ensure fresh quality, Jin Weiwei had been deliberately controlling her output. Every day, she would have little rich kids calculate the number of sausages they needed to sell according to their usual sales records, and then make them based on that. Usually, they would be made into fifty catties a day, so when Doctor Jia asked for fifty catties of sausages today, she was indeed in a bit of a difficult situation.


    "Is there anything difficult about Lady Jin?" Dr. Jia asked.


    "I won''t hide it from Mister. My family''s sausages are freshly cooked every day, so the quantity is limited. We can only make around fifty catties a day, so I''m afraid we can''t give you that much today."


    "So that''s how it is. That girl Jin, look at how much is left today, I''ve got it all. After the rest of the girls are done, just send someone to give them to me. "


    "Sure, no problem." "I will finish it this afternoon. I must deliver it to your residence tonight." Jin Weiwei nodded repeatedly.

 C31

    Jin Weiwei, along with the other rich kids, made a trip to the butcher''s shop and cut 30 catties of meat according to Doctor Jia''s request. She then packaged the rest of the sausages and let him take them away. At the same time, she let Tao Xiaoqing look at the butcher''s shop in the afternoon. She pulled little rich children to help her make sausages.


    Normally, Jin Weiwei was the only one who cooked the sausages. From chopping the meat to seasoning to enema, she had never had the little rich kid interfere.


    The reason why he stayed by his side today was to help him by handing him something to wipe his sweat. However, he didn''t expect him to take the initiative to submit to him and help him chop the meat stuffing.


    Speaking of the art of making sausages, that was actually her Jin family''s secret recipe. From the selection of meat to the seasoning, everything had to be done meticulously, especially the chopping of meat. Not only did it test one''s knife skills, it also tested one''s endurance.


    Fortunately, although Jin Weiwei was a girl, she was naturally born with great strength, so she didn''t lose the reputation of being a member of the Jin family. Even though Jin Weiwei was a girl, she was naturally born with great strength, so she didn''t lose the inheritance of Jin Weiwei.


    "You want to help me chop the meat stuffing? Will you? " Jin Weiwei had a look of disbelief on her face.


    "I don''t know how to learn." As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to start work.


    This little rich guy had really changed his gender recently. In the past, he didn''t want to raise his hand, he didn''t want to raise it. Even if he was asked to help in the butcher''s shop, he would only be willing to settle accounts. Now, not only did he learn how to cook, he would also learn how to make sausages.


    Alright, it''s rare for him to want to learn it, so why not teach him a little and give it a try first?


    Jin Weiwei picked up two large pieces of meat and placed them on the chopping board. "Then you can chop these two pieces of meat and have a look."


    Just as he finished speaking, little Fugui''s hand raised up and his blade fell, slicing the meat in half.


    Pfft!


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but laugh. "Young hero, you''re so handsome. But I''m asking you to chop the meat stuffing, not to chop people."


    Hearing this, little Fugui frowned and stopped raising his blade.


    "First, cut the meat into pieces, then cut it into strips, and then cut it into pieces. Only then can you begin to chop the meat stuffing." Jin Weiwei picked up another piece of meat and gave a simple demonstration.


    Little Fugui looked at it carefully, then put down the big kitchen knife without saying a word.


    "Eh? What are you doing? I didn''t say anything to you. I know you don''t know how, but am I not teaching you? Why are you still so angry and giving up your job? " Jin Weiwei was dumbfounded.


    He turned around and picked up a sharp boning knife. This knife''s edge was sharp, and its blade was thin. Usually, it was used to separate meat from bones, so it was called a boning knife.


    "What are you going to do with it? I''m telling you, it can''t cut through meat, so you have to use a kitchen knife to cut it. I''m telling you, why are you ¡­"


    Before Jin Weiwei could finish her words, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.


    Xiao Fugui was holding a boning knife as it flew up and down, continuously slashing at the meat. In just a few moments, a large chunk of meat had turned into minced meat.


    "And then?" Xiao Fugui nudged Jin Weiwei, who was already dumbfounded, with his arm.


    "Then... Then, I will chop it into pieces, chop it with all my might. The meat shouldn''t be chopped too big, otherwise it won''t be easy to taste and it can''t be chopped too fine, otherwise it won''t have a taste. "


    As Jin Weiwei spoke, she widened her eyes and retreated to the side.


    Xiao Fugui''s display just now really shocked her. It seems like this guy really does know martial arts, and his sabre skills are quite amazing as well!


    Xiao Fugui nodded his head, showing that he understood what Jin Weiwei meant. He put down the boning knife, picked up two kitchen knives, and began to draw the bow from left and right. Normally, Jin Weiwei would have to chop off the meat stuffing for a long time, but in his hands, the meat stuffing was cut off quickly as if it was a toy.


    "How is it?" Little Fugui cut up the meat stuffing and picked up a handful for Jin Weiwei to check.


    He saw that the meat stuffing that was chopped down by Xiao Fugui was as thin as a grain of sand. However, the meat was clearly different, and was much better than the meat that he had chopped up before.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but give him a thumbs up, praising him. "Awesome, how awesome!" I really didn''t expect you to be so good at this! "It seems like I''ve really married the right person. You are really suitable to be the son-in-law of a butcher. With your skills, our Jin family''s butcher shop will definitely be able to prosper."


    Hearing this, the little rich kid lowered his head and the corner of his mouth slightly raised.


    Just like this, little Fugui was responsible for chopping the meat stuffing and Jin Weiwei was responsible for seasoning and filling the filling. The two of them worked well together, and the working hours were much shorter than before.


    "Alright, take this batch of sausages to town first. I''ll make the rest for tomorrow''s sausages." Jin Weiwei wrapped up the sausages seriously, telling little rich kids to send them over as soon as possible.


    Unexpectedly, Xiao Fugui took it and put it to the side. He didn''t intend to send it, but picked up the meat and continued to chop it into pieces.


    Why was this fellow so disobedient at times? It was really confusing.


    "I just happened to have a foot injury, and Little Qing is still in the shop. If you don''t go, who else can you go to?"


    The blade in little Fugui''s hand didn''t stop as he said, "Once I''m done, I''ll go."


    So he wanted to help me chop up all the meat stuffing before delivering the goods.


    Jin Weiwei secretly smiled in her heart. This guy was obviously afraid that she''d be tired and wanted to help her with more work, yet he didn''t say anything clearly. It was really strange that she had to guess his thoughts.


    "That''s fine. You can go after you cut the meat stuffing. However, I''m afraid it will be too late by then. You must be careful on your way back and forth. Be careful."


    Jin Weiwei could not help but blabber on for a bit. Suddenly, she felt like a young daughter-in-law admonishing her husband, who was about to return late at night. She couldn''t help but have an idea. She stole a glance at little Fugui.


    He was so handsome and so capable. If they were to put on an act, not only would he not suffer any losses, he would also gain an advantage.


    When she thought of this, Jin Weiwei''s face reddened. She was afraid that the little rich kid would notice that something was off, so she quickly turned her head away to do other things.


    Who knew that on the third day after the sausage was delivered, Doctor Jia would come again.


    This time, Jin Weiwei enthusiastically greeted him and took the initiative to lead Doctor Jia into the room so he could take a seat. After all, Doctor Jia was now her big client.


    "There''s no need for Lady Jin to be so courteous. Once we get back to life, we will be familiar with each other. We still have a long time to interact with each other in the future." Doctor Jia received the tea that Jin Weiwei brewed and said with a smile.


    "Doctor Jia''s words are reasonable. Please continue to take care of our business in the future."


    "No, no, Lady Jin, that''s exactly what I wanted to say."


    Jin Weiwei froze upon hearing his words.


    What did that mean? You want her to take care of his business? He was a doctor after all. Was he going to curse her for being sick all the time?


    "What do you mean by that, Doctor Jia? You''re a doctor. " A trace of an awkward yet polite smile appeared on Jin Weiwei''s face.

 C32

    "Ahahaha ¡­" Doctor Jia clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "You''re blaming me. You''re blaming me. I definitely do not have any intention of letting the young lady get sick. "


    Jin Weiwei answered with a smile, "I also think that Doctor Jia didn''t intend to do that. If I were to fall ill, who would make sausages for you, right?"


    "That''s right, that''s right. Miss Jin must take good care of her body and make more sausages." After saying this, Doctor Jia fished out a silver ingot and placed it on the table. He said in a clear voice, "Miss Jin, I would like to make a deal with you. Do you have any wishes?"


    Jin Weiwei looked at the silver ingot on the table and asked, "What kind of deal can you and I do?" My daughter is all ears. "


    "Nothing else, just this sausage. From today onwards, you will be in charge of supplying goods to me alone. As for me, I will be in charge of the town''s sales. This is the prepaid money.


    Jin Weiwei gawked for a moment. ''Yo, this Doctor Jia is quite intelligent. He wants to be the sole dealer of her Jin family sausages in town.''


    However, he was a doctor after all. How could he possibly think of doing such a thing?


    "Then, then aren''t you going to treat other people?"


    Doctor Jia laughed. "I''m a person who does everything based on personal preferences. If you''re happy, you can do it, but if you''re unhappy, you can''t do it. Besides, selling delicious food was equivalent to treating a person''s mouth, wasn''t it? "You don''t know, but this delicacy is a spiritual medicine that can soothe a person''s injured heart and dispel their depressed thoughts ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei secretly laughed as she heard Doctor Jia''s matter-of-fact nonsense. However, the matter of the dealer was a serious matter that needed to be considered carefully.


    "Doctor Jia, can you allow me to discuss it with my husband?" Jin Weiwei was going to ask little rich kid for his opinion. Although he still didn''t talk much right now and sometimes even said he was stupid, but she always felt that he was very smart, especially at critical moments, when he was more reliable than her.


    Naturally, Doctor Jia would not stop the couple from discussing matters. He smiled and nodded in agreement.


    Thus, Jin Weiwei pulled little Fugui into the inner room. The two of them discussed for a while, and then came out to agree to Doctor Jia''s request to distribute sausages.


    Because they were old acquaintances and Doctor Jia had helped Jin Weiwei before, there was no need to pay for the deal, but the contract had to be made.


    Jin Weiwei put forward a condition, and that was that no matter what method Doctor Jia used to sell her sausages, she had to use the name of the Jin family. That was to say, this sausage must have a trademark, and that was Jin family sausage.


    Doctor Jia immediately agreed. As long as there was money to be made, it didn''t matter what the name of the sausage was. Moreover, this sausage was made by the Jin family, so it was understandable that it was called Jin family sausage.


    As for Doctor Jia, in order to ensure his position as a special reseller, he even drafted a "contract". As a contract between the two parties, Jin Weiwei was very satisfied with Doctor Jia''s strict attitude, so she signed the contract without hesitation.


    So the two of them reached a consensus, agreed on the quantity, time, and price of the supply, and began to cooperate.


    * *


    Doctor Jia had treated the patients well, but he didn''t expect the business to be so good.


    Not only did he open a door in town to specialize in the wholesale and retail business of Jin family sausages, he also started to promote them together with his family and friends. In addition, Jin family sausages had a very unique taste, they quickly became the most popular food in the town, and many people lined up for half a day just to buy this Jin family sausage.


    Since the sales of sausages had soared, she needed more time and energy to make them, so Jin Weiwei spent less and less time in the butcher''s shop. Basically, she only appeared in the butcher''s shop for a while in the morning, relying on Tao Xiaoqing to take care of the rest of the shop.


    Even when he was busy slaughtering pigs yesterday, he had been distracted by the pig. Although Tao Xiaoqing did not sustain any serious injuries, Jin Wei still decided to give him a day off, so he could have a good rest for the day. She would be the one to watch over the shop today.


    "Miss, may I ask, is this the Jin family meat shop?" A refined youth came to the front of the butcher''s shop.


    Jin Weiwei looked him up and down. He was dressed in a green robe, and had an air of scholarly elegance. It was easy to tell that he was a scholar.


    "This is the Jin family''s butcher shop." This is the Jin family''s butcher shop. Jin Weiwei replied.


    "So this is where the Jin family sausages are sold?" The boy stuck his head into the shop and looked, as if he were looking for the shadow of a sausage.


    "So this young master is here to buy sausages as well?" Unfortunately, my family''s sausages are so popular that they are sold out early every day. Since young master is here at this time, of course you won''t be able to buy it. "


    Jin Weiwei smiled and continued, "I can see that young master is a bit friendly. I seem to have seen him somewhere before, but I just can''t remember where. May I ask who young master is?"


    The young man smiled and waved the fan in his hand: "My surname is Luo, Shiying Ying, and I am a resident of Xing Tian Village. Perhaps you and I have met a few times before."


    From Xingtian Village? Surname Luo? A scholar again?


    "Oh, you''re that great, outstanding, and talented grandson of the Village Chief''s grandfather, right?" Jin Weiwei instantly guessed his identity.


    Hearing Jin Weiwei''s description of him, Luo Shiying could not help but laugh, "I''m the Village Head''s grandson, not bad, he thinks of me as a treasure. But this is very promising, very capable, I don''t dare to take it seriously."


    Jin Weiwei was amused. "You dare to take my responsibility, how dare you?" In all these years, our Xingtian Village has had a single Elementary Scholar like you. If you don''t have any future, then who can be considered as someone with potential! "


    "There are many more promising people than me. For example, Miss Jin, aren''t you also very capable?"


    "Me? What kind of ability could a little lass who runs a butcher''s shop have? " Jin Weiwei smiled in embarrassment, "Young Master Luo, please don''t joke with me."


    "I am definitely not joking. Lady Jin is indeed capable. The sausages you make are so unique and appetizing that not only do the townspeople fight to buy them, but they''re also popular in Lishui County. "


    "Are you for real?" My sausages have been sold to Lishui County? And you''re even welcoming? " Hearing this, Jin Weiwei was extremely excited.


    "There is no need for me to swindle Miss Jin. The Jin family sausage is now very famous in Linshui County. When my friends found out that I was visiting my family today, they all asked me to bring some back, which is why I came to Lady Jin''s butcher''s shop today to buy sausages. I didn''t expect to be late, what a pity. " Luo Shiying shook his head, his face was filled with regret.

 C33

    Jin Weiwei did not expect her sausages to have unknowingly entered the county''s market. She was somewhat excited. If that was the case, then his dream of becoming rich had advanced by another step.


    However, the Village Head''s grandson had specially come to buy sausages to bring back to the county, how could he let him return empty-handed?


    "May I ask how many days Young Master Luo will be staying for this visit? If it''s possible, why don''t you wait until I finish making the new sausages and leave it for Young Master tomorrow? "


    Luo Shiying saluted and said, "That''s good. However, I will be leaving tomorrow morning. If it''s convenient for you, can I come back tomorrow morning to retrieve it? "


    Jin Weiwei waved her hand. "You don''t need to come and get it. Tomorrow morning, I''ll get my assistant to take it to your house."


    Luo Shiying thanked him again and reserved 10 Jin of sausages before leaving.


    After Luo Shiying had left, Jin Weiwei had been mulling over the information he had brought.


    There was no doubt that the taste of the Jin family sausage had been approved by the county market. However, he did not know the distribution channels for the sausages in the county. She bought it directly from her and brought it to the county? Or from Dr. Jia in town?


    She planned to take some time to explore the county and see if she could find a partner to develop a few sales points. However, before she could set off, people from the county had already arrived.


    "Miss Jin, please allow me to introduce myself. My surname is Qian, and I''m the owner of the Guantong restaurant in Linshui County." Miss Jin, please allow me to introduce myself. I wonder what you think? "


    Looking at the chubby shopkeeper, perhaps because she subconsciously believed that he was about to become her big client, Jin Weiwei actually felt that he looked like a big ingot, round and cute.


    "Shopkeeper Qian, we''re all business people, how could we push this business out of the door?" Jin Weiwei beamed with joy. "How much does Manager Qian want to order? Give me a number."


    "Lady Jin is straightforward." Shopkeeper Qian gave a thumbs up. "As for the quantity, I want to hear what price Lady Jin has given me."


    "The price is negotiable, but there are several types of sausages here, so the price is different. What kind of sausage would you like to have, Shopkeeper Qian?"


    "And many different flavors?" Shopkeeper Qian was surprised for a moment, but then he smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I''ve only tasted one kind of Jin family sausage in the county and I don''t know what kind of taste it is. If Lady Jin doesn''t mind, can you introduce her to me? "


    Jin Weiwei readily agreed and openly led Manager Qian over to the kitchen. Not only did she explain in detail the advantages of Jin family''s sausages, but she also cut each sausage for you to taste.


    "This is the original flavor sausage, this is the five flavor sausage, this is the Ma La Wei sausage, and this is the secret recipe for the weird taste sausage, our special recipe. "Boss Qian, go ahead and try it all."


    As Boss Qian tried the dish, he kept nodding and praising it, "It''s delicious, it''s really delicious! They all have their own tastes, the Jin family sausage is indeed well-deserved of its name! "


    Hearing others praise the Jin family sausage, Jin Weiwei felt as if she had heard them praise her child, and she was truly happy from the bottom of her heart.


    Originally, only the original and the five flavors of the Jin family sausage were present. The rest of the flavors were developed by Jin Weiwei according to the memories of her previous life.


    "Shopkeeper Qian, I''m not trying to sell a melon and blow my own whistle. Other people definitely wouldn''t be able to make the sausage taste in my house, so don''t worry and buy it. There will definitely be a shortage of demand."


    Boss Qian carefully savored the sausage. After thinking for a moment, he said,


    "Miss Jin, my original plan today was to go back to buy several kilograms of sausages and try selling them, but after hearing your introduction and personally savoring all kinds of sausages, I feel like we need to have a good talk."


    "Oh? How do you want to talk about it, Shopkeeper Qian? "


    Manager Qian stroked his mustache, "Currently, the Jin family sausages are selling very well in the county and the supply is often unable to meet the demand. Since I''ve come, I would like to beg you to hand over this sole right to sell to me. What do you think?"


    Eh? Does this mean that Boss Qian wants to take over the exclusive rights to sell my Jin family''s sausages in Linshui County?


    "So you''re saying that I''m the only one who can supply you with goods. If anyone else wants them in Linshui County, they''ll have to buy them from you, right?"


    "This humble one has precisely this intention ¡­ I wonder if Miss Jin is willing to cooperate with me? " Owner Qian looked at Jin Weiwei expectantly.


    "About this, the exclusive right to represent someone is not a small matter. I would like to ask Owner Qian to let me think about it."


    The last time she gave the exclusive right to sell the town to Doctor Jia, she could only process and supply the goods. It''s not like Jin Weiwei didn''t know the difference in profit, it was just that she needed Doctor Jia to help her open up the market and raise her profile. Secondly, the market capacity of the town was limited, so she didn''t care too much about it.


    However, Linshui County''s market was much larger than the town''s, so the exclusive right to act as an agent was very important. Jin Weiwei didn''t want to casually let this right out.


    "Miss Jin, this humble one truly wants to sell the Jin family''s sausages. Whatever you want, feel free to state it. If I can agree, then I won''t be vague about it!"


    Manager Qian tried his best to show his utmost sincerity. This was because he knew that the right to represent the Jin family''s sausage was a piece of meat with a large amount of fat.


    "I know that Shopkeeper Qian genuinely wants to do business with me, but do you think I don''t want to do business with you?" "It''s just that I''m a woman after all, so I can still make decisions selling things. Speaking of this exclusive right to represent my family, I still have to discuss this long-term cooperation with my husband. Manager Qian, don''t you think that''s reasonable? "


    Since she didn''t want to block the sales channels of Manager Qian and didn''t want to agree to his request, Jin Weiwei could only temporarily use little rich son as a shield.


    In any case, her words made sense. In this era, every household was made up of male and female guests. This kind of important decision was naturally made by the male owner.


    Speaking to this point, there was no way for Shopkeeper Qian to force Jin Weiwei to answer immediately. He could only bitterly say:


    "Since that''s the case, I can only go back and wait for the letter." I hope the two of you will bring me good news after this discussion. If you come here today, you can consider me to be friends with Lady Jin. "


    The meaning in his words was that today''s trip was wasted.


    Jin Weiwei laughed, "How can I let Shopkeeper Qian come here for nothing? "Originally, you came here to purchase something, so why don''t you tell me how much you want? I''ll let you have 10% of the lowest price, but this is the only time you''ll get it."


    When Shopkeeper Qian heard that Jin Weiwei would let him have another 10%, his face immediately turned sad and happy. He immediately placed an 80 jin order, paid the delivery fee and loaded up a full cart, and happily went back to the city.

    Although she sent Manager Qian away, Jin Weiwei didn''t have the thought of letting go of the county''s development in her heart, because she knew that if she wanted to further strengthen the Jin family''s butcher shop, she had to leave the small village of Xingtian and develop to a larger space. So in the next step, she had to think of a way to fully occupy the market of Linshui County.


    On this day, Jin Weiwei deliberately took a day off to rest. She instructed Tao Xiaoqing to take good care of the shop while she and the little rich kid planned to go to the county city to inspect the market.


    As soon as she entered the county, Jin Weiwei looked around everywhere. She touched left and right with a novel look on her face.


    The county town was indeed much more prosperous than the town. On both sides of the wide road, there were all sorts of merchants selling their wares one after another. It was bustling with activity as people walked in and out of the city.


    If he could fully open up the sausage market in the county, then he would have a huge profit. The more Jin Weiwei thought about it, the happier she became.


    Following the address that Boss Qian had given her last time, Jin Weiwei finally found his shop on the north side of the city.


    "Guangtong Food Shop." Little Fugui, quickly come over and see if this is the place! " Jin Weiwei faced the shop''s signboard.


    Little Fugui nodded.


    "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this Shopkeeper Qian''s business is not small." Looking at the storefront that was three times the size of her own Jin family meat shop, Jin Weiwei was a little envious in her heart.


    "Come, let''s go in and take a look." Jin Weiwei dragged little Fugui with her as she scurried into the store.


    "Honored guests, what would you like to order? We have all kinds of meat products and a new batch of Jin family sausages. Would you like to buy some?" When the shop assistant saw the two enter the shop, he immediately went up and greeted them warmly.


    "Jin family sausage?" Jin Weiwei was delighted. She didn''t think that this storekeeper Qian was so reliable. Even though she hadn''t agreed to give him the exclusive right to represent her county, he had already started to make important sales.


    "That''s right!" Have the two guests not heard of the Jin family sausage recently? "This is the most popular delicacy in Linshui County recently. The taste is absolute!"


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei was interested, the waitress immediately handed over a small plate with chopped sausages on it. "It''s alright if you don''t hear it, but this girl can give it a try. I can guarantee that after you eat it, you''ll have a nice aftertaste!"


    This waiter really has a glib tongue. With such hardworking salesmen, how could he worry about not being able to sell anything? Jin Weiwei silently gave him a Like in her heart.


    The unprocessed meat only made up a small part of it. The majority of it were semi-finished meat products and finished products, including shredded meat, fish, fried meat balls, smoked meat, sausages, and so on.


    "No need to try it out, I made this sausage." Jin Weiwei casually said as she sized up the meat sold in the butcher''s shop.


    When the waiter heard Jin Weiwei say that the sausage was made by her, he was momentarily stunned, but he immediately reacted and shouted, "Manager, the golden shopkeeper of the Jin family''s butcher shop is here!"


    "Miss Jin is here?" It''s really an honorable guest, an honorable guest! " Hearing that it was Jin Weiwei, Shopkeeper Qian was overjoyed.


    Since Jin Weiwei was willing to come to his shop today to inspect, it meant that she was still very interested in this partnership. He had a chance of winning the exclusive rights, so he rushed out of the room in quick steps.


    "Shopkeeper Qian, I didn''t greet you in advance, so I just came over. It was a bit sudden, and I won''t disturb you, right?"


    "How could this be a disturbance? You don''t know I''m here hoping for the moon and the stars for you to come. "


    After exchanging a few pleasantries, Manager Qian led Jin Weiwei and little Fugui to the inner room and took a seat.


    "Miss Jin, please have a cup of tea." Shopkeeper Qian personally poured a cup of tea for Jin Weiwei. "This is jasmine tea that I got someone from the capital to bring back. Do you still like this young lady''s tea?"


    Jin Weiwei raised her teacup and could smell the faint fragrance of jasmine even before she opened her mouth. "Shopkeeper Qian''s tea must be good. Manager Qian is truly someone who knows how to enjoy himself. "


    "Not at all, but we''re all in the food business, so we naturally have to be more attentive towards food and drink." Shopkeeper Qian''s face was full of smiles. "If Lady Jin catches your eyes, I''ll get the waiter to pack some for you and take it back to drink slowly later."


    This Shopkeeper Qian was truly worthy of being a veteran in the business world. He truly knew how to behave. He was afraid that the tea leaves would not be taken for free.


    Jin Weiwei declined to comment. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then turned around and handed it to Fugui, "I don''t know how to drink tea. Come and try it."


    "Aiyaya, I am truly sorry. Look, I was careless." Manager Qian quickly got up and poured another cup for the boy. "May I know who this brother is?"


    Jin Weiwei smiled shyly, "He''s my husband. You can just call him rich."


    "So it''s Lady Jin''s husband, the rich brother." Shopkeeper Qian bowed repeatedly. "My apologies, my apologies. I was very disrespectful earlier, please forgive me."


    Xiao Fugui received the tea and also took a sip, "No tea."


    These three simple words immediately caused Shopkeeper Qian to feel a bit awkward. He originally thought that Jin Weiwei was a difficult person to deal with, but now he realized that her husband seemed to be quiet, and was even more so unable to deal with her.


    Seeing that Manager Qian was a bit embarrassed, Jin Weiwei laughed inwardly. This little rich kid really didn''t give him face at all.


    "It doesn''t matter whether the tea is good or not. We won''t come for the tea anyway." Jin Weiwei put down the teacup, "Shopkeeper Qian, my husband and I have already discussed in detail the matter of you asking for the exclusive right to sell the Jin family sausages."


    "What exclusive rights?" This was the first time that Manager Qian had heard of this term.


    That is to say, only your family can operate and sell our Jin family''s sausages in Linshui County. We will only supply the sausages to you individually, and if any other merchants want to sell them, they will have to obtain them from you.


    "So that''s how it is." Manager Qian was suddenly enlightened. "Lady Jin''s words are really wonderful. It''s exclusive right to sell. Exquisite. Exquisite! This lowly one truly admires you. This humble one admires you. "


    Jin Weiwei pursed her lips and smiled. How was this her way of putting it? It was just common knowledge that everyone knew about in her previous life.


    "Shopkeeper Qian, if you keep on praising me, I''ll faint. Let''s continue with our business." In fact, we''ve been in town for some time. "The town''s Doctor Jia is the exclusive dealer for the Jin family sausages in the town. I believe that Shopkeeper Qian has already known about this beforehand."


    "Understood." Manager Qian nodded.


    "Since Shopkeeper Qian has understood, then I presume that you''ve already figured out how much of the profit there is, right?" Jin Weiwei asked with a smile.

 C35

    Hearing that, Shopkeeper Qian grinned. "If there''s nothing to gain from this, how would I find Lady Jin? "However, Lady Jin, don''t worry. I definitely won''t let you suffer any losses when doing business with me. Naturally, I won''t take your exclusive rights for free. I''m willing to pay a fee to buy it. Lady Jin, tell me what your price is."


    He really was an understanding person.


    Seeing that Shopkeeper Qian was so understanding that he voluntarily offered to give her an authorization fee, Jin Weiwei was very satisfied. This Shopkeeper Qian was open-minded, tactful, and had a lively and colorful business. He should be a good candidate to be a dealer.


    "Manager, the meat is here today. Would you like to take a look?" The little fellow shouted from outside.


    "Coming, coming." Shopkeeper Qian stood up and said apologetically, "Both of you have tea here. Wait here for a moment, I will be right back."


    "Shopkeeper Qian, are you going to collect the goods?" "If Shopkeeper Qian doesn''t mind, I''ll go with you to take a look. I''m just a country girl who wants to learn how to do business with you."


    "Haha, Lady Jin is too modest. This way, please." Manager Qian stepped aside to let Jin Weiwei and little Fugui out of the room first.


    The goods to be inspected were sent over by the butcher in the street. Shopkeeper Qian was a man who had a good way of doing business. As long as he was in the shop, he would personally do the basic goods inspection.


    Manager Qian had just finished counting the amount when he turned around to see Jin Weiwei staring at the waiter with a cold expression.


    "Lady Jin ¡­" What''s wrong with you? "


    Jin Weiwei restrained her expression and narrowed her eyes. "Shopkeeper Qian, let me ask you, what is the name of this butcher who is delivering goods to you?"


    "Jiang Ji''s Meat Shop is just one street away from mine, what''s wrong?"


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s face suddenly sank. "Jiang Ji''s Meat Shop?" "Is the shopkeeper called Jiang Qingshu?"


    "That''s right, could it be that the lady and Shopkeeper Jiang are old acquaintances?"


    "Humph!" "We do know each other," Jin Weiwei said disdainfully.


    From Jin Weiwei''s tone, Shopkeeper Qian realized that Jin Weiwei was not friendly. It seemed that there was some conflict between the two of them. However, why would the city''s Shopkeeper Jiang have any conflict with a little girl in Xingtian Village? What could this be?


    Before Shopkeeper Qian could think about it, Jin Weiwei said, "Shopkeeper Qian, I don''t want the licensing fee for the exclusive dealer that we talked about just now."


    No?" When Owner Qian heard this, he immediately became anxious, "If you don''t mind the lack of expenses, we can still talk about it, can''t we?


    Jin Weiwei shook her head. "I don''t want this money. I can still give you the exclusive right to sell it, but I have a condition. You must agree to it, otherwise there''s no need to talk about it."


    Shopkeeper Qian was astonished. Other than talking about money, what other conditions does this deal have?


    "Lady Jin, don''t worry about it. I, Qian, have said that I will agree to anything that I can do."


    "Alright, I don''t need you to do anything difficult." Jin Weiwei paused for a moment, then pointed at the person who delivered the food. "I only want one thing, and that is, from now on, you can no longer use the meat from Jiang''s Meat Shop in the Quantong recipe."


    Hearing this, everyone was stunned.


    Jiang Ji''s butcher also raised his head to look at Jin Weiwei. He was puzzled at first, but then he took two steps forward and examined Jin Weiwei from head to toe. After a careful examination, his face revealed an astonished expression.


    "You are... "Weiwei?"


    Jin Weiwei didn''t agree. She only coldly glared at him.


    When the shop assistant saw this, he interrupted, "This is Miss Jin from the Jin family''s butcher''s shop in Xingtian Village."


    When the delivery man heard this, he suddenly rushed over in excitement and grabbed Jin Weiwei''s hand. "Silly girl, it''s really you! I almost didn''t recognize you!"


    Jin Weiwei shook off the hand that was grabbing her, but she still didn''t show the slightest expression on her face. "Thanks to you, I''m still alive."


    So the delivery man was none other than Jin Weiwei''s disappointing old man, Jin Dabao. He was the one who took the money that Jin Weiwei''s mother had left her. He eloped with the village widow and left her, a young girl, to the Cao family. He was bullied all day long.


    Jin Dabao carefully sized up this girl in front of him. Although she looked exactly like his daughter, her attire and manner of speech were completely different from before. She no longer had that silly look from before.


    "Silly girl ¡­" You''ve recovered from your illness? "


    "Alright."


    "Where''s your second mother?"


    "Forget it."


    "Who is this man beside you?"


    "My husband."


    No matter what Jin Dabao asked, Jin Weiwei always acted very coldly.


    "Silly girl, I am your father! How can you treat me like this? " Jin Dabao asked angrily.


    "My father? My father eloped with the village widow and left me behind. " Jin Weiwei cast a sidelong glance at Jin Dabao. "If you were my father, how could you be here?"


    When the crowd heard this, they finally understood the relationship between the two. So these two were actually father and daughter, and this Jin Dabao eloped with another woman to abandon Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Dabao never thought that Jin Weiwei would tell him about the shameful things he did in front of so many people. Now that everyone was watching, he couldn''t help but feel embarrassed. He once again stepped forward and pulled Jin Weiwei''s sleeve.


    "Silly girl, we''ll talk about these matters when we get home. Come back with me first."


    "Go back? "Go back where?"


    "Of course it''s your second aunt''s house. Have you forgotten? Your second aunt''s house is nearby ¡­"


    "After what happened that year, I made a vow that I would never ever step foot into the Jiang Clan again in this life. If I break this vow, it would be the end of me if I were to be struck by lightning."


    "What are you doing? Why are you angry at your second aunt? Aren''t we family?" "Come back with me."


    As Jin Dabao spoke, he reached out his hand to pull Jin Weiwei. But this time, before he could even touch Jin Weiwei, he was slapped back by the little rich kid who had been standing nearby all along.


    This time, Jin Dabao''s hand was full of strength. He grimaced in pain: "Damn brat, where did you run away from!"


    "He''s not a wild man, he''s my husband!" "It seems like you''re getting really old and muddleheaded now. I''ve just said something, and I can''t remember it so quickly. I think you should go home and find a doctor to treat your illness."


    "You stinking girl, you dared to curse your father by relying on a wild man? Let''s see if I''ll beat you to death!"


    Jin Dabao bent down to take off his shoes and raised them to hit Jin Weiwei.


    This was his habit. Ever since he was young, Jin Weiwei had always been raised by him like this. However, he forgot that the current Jin Weiwei was no longer the same as the previous time. She was no longer the silly girl he could casually beat and scold. Moreover, there was a little rich kid standing by her side to protect her.


    When Jin Dabao rushed to Jin Weiwei''s side, little Fugui immediately lifted his leg and kicked him right in the chest without saying a word. Jin Dabao flew out of the shop like a kite with its string cut, then heavily fell on the street.

 C36

    The fall was not light. Jin Dabao lay on the ground, clutching his chest and groaning in pain. He couldn''t get up even after a long time, which attracted more and more onlookers.


    When Jin Weiwei saw Jin Dabao''s miserable appearance, she felt relieved. She took his hand and squeezed it lightly a few times. Then, she raised her head and gave him a sweet smile, expressing her thanks.


    Seeing that there were more and more people gathered at the entrance of the shop, Shopkeeper Qian didn''t know if he should go and help Jin Dabao. After all, he had a request from Jin Weiwei and didn''t want to offend her.


    "Miss Jin, look at what happened today ¡­" Manager Qian moved closer to Jin Weiwei, wanting to ask her opinion.


    "Shopkeeper Qian, actually, I really admire you. You really have a way to do business, so of course I''m willing to work with you. Everyone can earn money together, can''t they?" But I''m a very stubborn person, there are some things I can''t back down from. "


    Jin Weiwei tidied up the clothes that had been messed up by Jin Dabao. "I''ve said what I should say. If Shopkeeper Qian really wants our Jin family''s exclusive right to sell sausages, consider my offer carefully. From now on, don''t use Jiang Ji''s meat products anymore."


    "This ¡­ Miss Jin really is making things difficult for me. Our cooperation with Jiang Ji isn''t as simple as a year or two. If we say so, then it''s over, I''m afraid ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei didn''t want to hear any more from Shopkeeper Qian. She waved her hand and interrupted him, "Jin family''s sausage and Jiang Ji''s meat shop. You can only choose between me and him."


    Saying that, under the stunned gazes of the crowd, he left with Xiao Fugui in his arms.


    * *


    On the way back, Jin Weiwei kept her face cold and didn''t say a word. At first, little rich and rich didn''t pay any attention to her, but when they were halfway there, she still had a depressed look on her face, so they couldn''t help but ask.


    "What does Jiang Ji''s Meat Shop have to do with you?"


    At first, Jin Weiwei was in a bad mood and didn''t want to talk about the sad things of the past, but when she saw the concerned look on little rich and rich son''s face, she still told him everything from beginning to end.


    It turned out that Jin Dabao originally had two older sisters, Jin Weiwei''s aunt and second aunt.


    Jin Dabao was the only male in the Jin family, so he had always been doted on by his family. His two sisters doted on him a lot, and no matter what, they would always do whatever he asked for.


    Jin Dabao was forced to take over the butcher''s shop and start his own business. However, due to his easy work and poor management, the butcher''s shop could only barely be maintained. Many times, his two sisters would have to bring him some silver taels to support him.


    Eight years ago, Jin Dabao had taken a fancy to Madame Cao and married her into the family. In order to please Cao family, Jin Dabao simply sent Jin Weiwei to the county city, where he wanted to give her to his two sisters to look after her.


    At the beginning, Jin Weiwei was sent to her aunt''s house.


    Eldest Aunt originally didn''t like the silly Jin Weiwei, but because of her little brother''s request, she reluctantly took her in. In addition, Eldest Aunt had a short temper, so she kept scolding her all day. Although Eldest Uncle was not bad, it was a pity that he was weak in character and couldn''t protect Jin Weiwei at all.


    Until one day, the aunt found that the box of money in the house seemed to have been moved, opened a little, and the money inside was less, and immediately accused her of stealing the money. Of course, Jin Weiwei refused to acknowledge this kind of theft. Thus, in a fit of anger, the aunt broke her legs and sent her back to Xingtian Village.


    Since Jin Weiwei''s leg was broken, she could only stay at the Jin family to recuperate for a while. During this period of time, Madame Cao did not care about her injury, but instead ordered her to do all the work.


    Even so, Madame Cao still found her more and more annoying. Not long after, she urged Jin Dabao to send Jin Weiwei to Second Aunt''s house again.


    Although Second Aunt''s temper wasn''t as bad as Eldest Aunt''s, her family ate for no reason at all. Naturally, she wouldn''t give Jin Weiwei any face and would occasionally say something sarcastic.


    Originally, Jin Weiwei could bear with all of this, but she didn''t think that her second uncle was actually a virtuous hypocrite. On the surface, he looked decent and kind, but he was actually a big pervert behind everyone''s back.


    In the beginning, Second Uncle only teased her verbally, while Second Aunt wasn''t paying attention to touch Jin Weiwei''s small hand. She also silently endured this, but later on he became more and more serious, even sneaking into Jin Weiwei''s room one night to take advantage of her. Now, Jin Weiwei couldn''t hold it in anymore, she jumped up and beat Second Uncle up.


    One must know that Jin Weiwei was already a bit silly in the past, and didn''t have any sense of propriety when doing things. Plus, with her inborn strength, she actually broke second uncle''s arm in one fell swoop. Looking at second uncle lying on the ground, crying out in pain, she immediately panicked.


    He didn''t know how his second uncle described everything that had happened to the others. In short, on the morning of the second day, Second Aunt brought her two sons to find them and make a ruckus, saying that Jin Weiwei was an ingrate, a jinx who lived in their house. Not only did she not know to return the favor, she even injured her second uncle and demanded for Jin Weiwei''s compensation for the medical fees.


    Back then, the people of Jinwei were dumb and dumb. No matter how they explained, they couldn''t compare to Second Aunt and her family.


    Not only did Jin Dabao and Madame Cao not stand by her side to support her, but they were also unwilling to pay to help her settle this matter. Instead, they scolded her along with Second Aunt and the others. Jin Dabao even tied up Jin Weiwei in front of everyone, in order to calm Second Aunt and her family and stop bringing up the issue of compensation. He hung her on a tree and gave her a good spanking.


    Jin Weiwei would never forget how wronged and how much she hated him back then. When she was tied up by her own father and hung from a tree, her heart was filled with nothing but fear and despair.


    Jin Weiwei continued to cry and beg for mercy, but the ruthless whip still continued to lash on her body one at a time, and completely destroyed all the family affection she had for these people.


    When she cried until she was hoarse and unable to shed a single tear, Jin Weiwei swore in her heart that she would never step foot into the Jiang family again in this life and for all eternity.


    It was also from then on that, in order to prevent Jin Dabao and Madame Cao from chasing her out, Jin Weiwei began learning how to slaughter pigs and sheep, and started learning how to make sausages and sell meat.


    When Madame Cao saw how capable and obedient Jin Weiwei was, having her was equivalent to having another girl to order around. Thus, she no longer instigated Jin Dabao to send her away.

 C37

    After saying this, Jin Weiwei''s eyes were filled with tears. Although she was no longer the original owner, her memories of the previous owner''s tragic encounters were still deeply rooted in her memory, and she felt the same way.


    However, the original owner was weak and incompetent, so the previous Jin Weiwei could only silently endure and choose to escape. However, the current Jin Weiwei was brave and powerful. She would never allow herself to swallow her anger and allow others to bully her. She wanted to slowly settle the debt from the past.


    "In the future, I won''t let anyone bully you." The person beside him suddenly said.


    Jin Weiwei, who was immersed in her sorrowful memories, suddenly heard the words from little rich and precious son. Her heart slightly trembled, as if something had suddenly struck her.


    "What did you say?" Jin Weiwei wanted to confirm something.


    However, little Fugui didn''t say anything else. He held Jin Weiwei''s small hand tightly with his big, strong hand, and led her firmly towards home.


    * *


    Manager Qian saw the two of them walking into the distance before running out onto the street to help the injured Jin Dabao up and return him to Jiang Ji''s butcher shop.


    Although Jin Dabao repeatedly told shopkeeper Qian that Jin Weiwei was an ungrateful, ungrateful, and ungrateful little bastard, based on his two meetings with Jin Weiwei, his intuition told him that there must be something fishy going on.


    After many people had asked around in Xingtian Village, Shopkeeper Qian finally understood the whole truth of the matter. He knew what Jin Dabao''s family had done to him.


    Although he also sympathized with Jin Weiwei, business was business, and he and Jiang Ji had been working together for almost a decade now. Even if this Manager Jiang was audacious and shameless enough to lay his hands on his own niece, their cooperation in business was very enjoyable, so Manager Qian really didn''t want to get involved and think too much about it.


    However, the thing in this world was that the more you wanted to ignore it, the more it would come looking for you.


    One of Shopkeeper Qian''s important customers, after tasting the Jin family sausage that he gave as a gift, unexpectedly liked it very much. He specially sent someone to the Grand Dominance Restaurant to place a huge order of one hundred Jin.


    This time, Manager Qian was stupefied. Facing such a big order, how could the money manager not be tempted?


    After thinking about it, he decided to personally go back to Xingtian Village and meet up with Jin Weiwei. Even if they couldn''t talk about exclusive rights, he would first return the order.


    Who knew that Jin family would know that Jin Weiwei was usually so carefree that she didn''t seem to care about anything. However, this matter was surprisingly true.


    "Shopkeeper Qian, I only want to ask you one question. Are you going to continue doing business with Jiang Ji''s meat shop in the future? Are you going to take in or not?" Give me a good word. " Jin Weiwei asked as she cut the grass for sheep feed.


    "Miss Jin, I''ve been working with Jiang Ji''s butcher for more than a year or two already. We''ll have to think things over slowly if we''re going to break ¡­" "Isn''t it?" Shopkeeper Qian didn''t want to answer Jin Weiwei''s question directly, so he had no choice but to play along.


    The corner of Jin Weiwei''s mouth twitched. "Since Shopkeeper Qian hasn''t considered it properly, then there''s nothing to discuss between us right now."


    "Miss Jin, look at what you''re saying. There are a lot of things we can talk about." Shopkeeper Qian pushed her away with a smile, walked around Jin Weiwei, and squatted down beside her.


    "Actually, I think, those of us who do business are just asking for money. As for other things, don''t think too much about them, right?"


    Shopkeeper Qian really didn''t want to suddenly end his many years of relationship with Jiang Ji just because of a little girl. This wouldn''t benefit him in the least, and on the contrary, it would be troublesome if he went looking for the source of the goods again. If he could persuade Jin Weiwei not to bite so hard and turn a blind eye to this matter, then that would be great.


    "I love money, I admit it." Jin Weiwei raised her head. "But a man loves to take advantage of his wealth. I only earn the money I want."


    "That''s right, Lady Jin''s words are reasonable." Manager Qian flattered hypocritically, "I also know that Miss Jin had a little conflict with the Jiang family, but it''s been so long. Why do you still need to care about it?"


    Small festival?


    Hmph, as expected, only he knew of his own injuries. In the eyes of outsiders, the pain of having nothing to do with them was just a topic they discussed over meals and tea. As long as they blew their lips, it would disappear into thin air.


    Jin Weiwei stood up and patted the grass on her body, "Shopkeeper Qian, there are some words that are of no use. This time, I will not compromise. If there''s nothing else, please go back."


    Shopkeeper Qian didn''t expect Jin Weiwei to be so stubborn. There was no room for discussion on the matter of Jiang Ji''s butcher shop, so she actually asked him to leave. His face turned red for a moment as he turned to leave.


    However, he hadn''t even taken two steps when he recalled the profit of that one hundred Jin order. He could only brazenly turn around and return:


    "Miss Jin, how about this? We can leave the matter of the exclusive dealer for now and talk slowly in the future. I''ll place an order to order some goods. This is a big order."


    Jin Weiwei didn''t even bat an eyelid. "Large order?" "How big is it?"


    "One hundred Jin!" Shopkeeper Qian stretched out a finger.


    "Hmph." Jin Weiwei sneered, "I thought it would only be one hundred kilograms." However, let''s not talk about this today. Not to mention a hundred catties, a thousand catties, ten thousand catties, or even the emperor himself, as long as you have good relations with Jiang Ji''s meat shop, you can forget about taking a single sausage from me. "


    With that, Jin Weiwei picked up the basket filled with feed and said, "Shopkeeper Qian, please make way. I''m going to feed the sheep."


    Shopkeeper Qian awkwardly turned to the side to get out of the way. Seeing Jin Weiwei leave without even looking back, he could only bitterly return empty-handed.


    After returning home, Manager Qian was so depressed that he couldn''t eat anymore.


    That was a hundred pounds of order, and that customer was very important to him.


    That client was none other than one of the biggest families in Lishui County. Not only was there money in the family, but there was even an official in the imperial court. This client was none other than one of the biggest families in Lishui County.


    He could only watch helplessly as this deal went bad. Not only was he unable to earn any money, he had also offended the Cheng family. If that happened, then the future deal would be very difficult to make and he really wouldn''t be able to bear the consequences.


    Shopkeeper Qian''s daughter-in-law, Lady Shen, saw him sighing with a worried expression and was quite anxious, "Boss, what''s wrong with you? "What makes you so worried that you can''t even eat."


    Then, Manager Qian told her what had happened and what Jin Weiwei had requested. When Lady Shen heard this, she did not seem to mind, "I thought it was a big deal. Isn''t it just getting married and ordering a hundred catties of sausage, but that golden girl is not willing to supply it to you?"


    "What is it? Do you have a good way to solve this? "


    "I can''t think of a good way, but there''s one that''s stupid." Shen Shi smiled mysteriously.

 C38

    "What solution? Tell me!"


    "Her Jin family can make sausages. We can also make sausages. I''ll make the sausage that weighs a hundred catties, won''t that do? "


    Hearing that, Shopkeeper Qian rolled his eyes at Mrs. Shen, "This can''t even be considered as stupid. Do you think that the taste of the Jin family sausage is just an imitation? If it was that simple, wouldn''t there be Jin family sausages everywhere? How could I let this golden girl be so arrogant? "


    When Lady Shen heard this, she was somewhat unhappy. She had always been confident in her culinary skills. "If I don''t try and know how to make it, then maybe the Qian family''s sausage that I made will be even more delicious than her Jin family''s sausage."


    Unfortunately, the dream was beautiful and the reality was cruel. Mrs Shen tossed and turned for two days, producing five to six catties of test article, but not a single sausage could compare to the smell of Jin Jia''s sausage.


    "I said no. Other than the little girl Jin, no one else could produce the taste of Jin family sausage. " Manager Qian threw down the sausage in his hand and sighed.


    Although Lady Shen was unwilling, there was nothing she could do. She had tried her best, but still couldn''t produce the taste of the Jin family''s sausage.


    "Shopkeeper, when can we prepare the order for the 100 Jin sausage?" Today, the Cheng family has sent someone in charge to urge them to do so. " The little fellow hurriedly ran in and said.


    Shopkeeper Qian''s eyebrows creased into a knot. "It looks like ¡­" I can only go and have a chat with Boss Jiang. "


    * *


    "Aiyo, what brings you here today?" Jiang Qishou invited Shopkeeper Qian in with a bright smile on his face.


    "Hurry up and serve tea. You need the jasmine tea that you bought last time. It''s the one that Shopkeeper Qian likes the most." Jiang Qingshu told the waiter to hurry up and serve tea while he invited Manager Qian to take a seat.


    Manager Qian was the regular customer of their butcher''s shop, so he naturally wouldn''t be slow.


    "Shopkeeper Jiang, you''re too polite." Shopkeeper Qian said somewhat awkwardly, "I did indeed come today to discuss some matters in detail with you."


    Seeing the troubled expression on Shopkeeper Qian''s face, Jiang Qingshu said,


    "Our two families have worked together for so many years, anything we do is a good deal. If Keeper Qian has any difficulties, feel free to speak of them. If there is a problem with the payment, we can settle it together next month. I trust Manager Qian. "


    After Jin Dabao was beaten back to his home, Jiang Qingshu hadn''t told Jiang Chen about his encounter with Jin Weiwei. Therefore, Jiang Qingshu didn''t know that Shopkeeper Qian wanted to become the exclusive distributor of Jin family sausages.


    Hearing Jiang Qingshu''s words, Shopkeeper Qian could only smile wryly. "You really think highly of me, Manager Jiang. However, I will definitely pay for the goods on time. That''s not what I want to say today."


    "What''s that?" Jiang Qingshu was confused.


    Shopkeeper Qian sighed and relayed Jin Weiwei''s request to Jiang Qingshu.


    "Jin Weiwei?" "Jin family''s butcher shop in Xingtian Village?" Jiang Qingshou frowned when he heard this.


    Isn''t this the silly girl from Jin Dabao''s house?


    Years ago, she forcefully broke one of his arms, but he didn''t even bother to settle the score with her. Now that her wings had hardened, she actually dared to go up against him!


    "That''s right. This Miss Jin seems to be the daughter of your brother-in-law, your niece, right?"


    "That''s right, she''s my niece, but she''s a little bastard who doesn''t recognize anyone. I didn''t expect that she would dare bully me until I''m old!" Jiang Qingshou was full of anger.


    Shopkeeper Qian didn''t expect Jiang Qingshou to scold Jin Weiwei in front of him. He could only smile awkwardly:


    "Since we are all relatives, this is your own family matter. Why involve an innocent person like me? I just want to do business. If you have business, you can take it. If you have money, you can earn it. Manager Jiang? "


    Jiang Qingshou nodded his head. "Manager Qian is right. You don''t need to bother with this damned girl. We can''t stop working together in the future."


    Owner Qian also nodded in agreement, "All these years, our cooperation has been very happy. I also don''t want it to suddenly end like this." "But I can''t do anything about the sausage business, so I''ll have to trouble you, Manager Jiang, to settle this matter yourselves. After all, we''re family, so let''s not involve other families."


    Jiang Qingshu nodded his head, "Please rest assured, Shopkeeper Qian. I will settle this matter as soon as possible. I won''t make it difficult for Shopkeeper Qian."


    "With Shopkeeper Jiang''s words, I''m relieved." Shopkeeper Qian got up and said his goodbyes, "I still have things to do in the shop, so I won''t be delaying you any further." However, I have to speak first. If Keeper Jiang is still unable to resolve this matter in a few days, then our cooperation ¡­ "It can only be broken."


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingshou''s expression changed slightly. However, he suppressed his anger as much as possible and politely saw off Shopkeeper Qian. Then, after giving a few instructions to the waiter, he rushed back home.


    As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Qingshou shouted, "Jin Dabao, you bastard! Come out right now!"


    "What happened? Why are you so angry after just returning?" When Jin Dabao''s second sister, Jin Xiaodie, heard her husband''s shout, she immediately ran out.


    "Go and ask that good little brother of yours who beat him up a few days ago, and he actually dares to keep it a secret from us!" Jiang Qingshu was furious.


    Looking at the situation, Jin Xiaodie thought that Jin Dabao must be in trouble again.


    "Calm down first, this little brother of mine really doesn''t make you worry. I''ll help you talk about what he did wrong."


    "Say my ass!" Jiang Qingshou said angrily, "Don''t speak up for him this time. Where is he? Hurry up and get him in front of me. Otherwise, he will leave immediately. Our Jiang family will not let him stay!"


    Jin Xiaodie didn''t dare to retort anymore, so she quickly pulled Jin Dabao out, "Well, here he is. You guys have something to talk about."


    When Jin Dabao saw that Jiang Qingshu''s face was covered in dark clouds, he was immediately scared stiff. He lowered his head and called out softly, "Second brother-in-law."


    "You still think I''m your second brother-in-law?!" Jiang Qingshou slapped Jin Dabao.


    Pow!


    This slap made Jin Dabao shudder, and Jin Xiaodie immediately ran in front of him, blocking his way, "What are you doing?! Didn''t you say you have something to say? Why did you start fighting? "


    With that, she touched Jin Dabao''s face, "Does it hurt?"


    Jin Dabao was in his thirties, yet he felt wronged after being attacked like that. Tears welled up in his eyes.


    "You are still protecting him, such a disappointing thing, why are you protecting him?!" Jiang Qingshou looked at her and said angrily, "How are you doing now? We''re raising him and his daughter, in turn, is going to ruin our path to wealth!"


    "What did you say?" Jin Xiaodie did not understand, "Who wants to ruin our road to wealth?"


    "Jin Weiwei, that good niece of yours actually wanted Guangtong Dining Hall to break off all ties with us from now on!"

 C39

    "What nonsense are you talking about? How is that possible?" With just her? A silly little girl? How could Manager Qian listen to her. " Jin Xiaodie didn''t believe it at all.


    "You still don''t know, that damn girl Jin Weiwei has become very strong and made some Jin family sausages. It is said that she is very popular, and in order to cooperate with her, Manager Qian took these Jin family sausages to sell, so he is prepared to agree to all of her conditions!"


    "There''s actually such a thing?" Jin Xiaodie''s face was filled with disbelief. She turned to Jin Dabao and asked, "Do you know about this?"


    Jin Dabao stammered as he recounted what happened a few days ago at Guangtong''s eatery.


    Look at him, a few days ago we ran into that damn girl. We knew that she threatened to stop our cooperation with Shopkeeper Qian, but he didn''t even mention it when he came back. He ate and slept every day as if nothing had happened. Jiang Qingshou slammed his hands on the table angrily.


    Jin Xiaodie grabbed his hand to stop him from hitting the table again.


    "Calm down, Big Treasure did do something wrong. However, how could this Jin Weiwei suddenly become so powerful? In the past, she was always so silly. Other than brute force, she didn''t understand anything. "Not only did you turn the Jin family''s meat shop into a fiery-red business, you even want to use others to take revenge on us. How unexpected ¡­"


    Jin Dabao also echoed:


    "That''s right, that''s right. Who knows how that damned girl changed. I thought that the money manager wouldn''t care about what she said, so she came back without saying anything ¡­" Who would have thought that she would actually have the ability to force Shopkeeper Qian to sever all relations with us. "


    "You still have the face to quibble, this is your good daughter, she used to break my arm, and now she even wants to cut off my business, I think your whole family are ingrate!" If I knew this would happen, I would have been like big sister''s husband and shamelessly kicked you out of the city earlier! "


    It turned out that although Jin Dabao had made a huge fortune by following Widow Chen, due to the two of them being indolent and lazy people, they only saw the silver coins in their pockets rolling out every day, but not a single copper coin rolled in.


    Very soon, Jin Dabao was left empty-handed. He spent all the money he had brought and began to rely on Widow Chen''s wealth to live his life.


    Without the support of money, Widow Chen quickly grew tired of Jin Dabao. It just so happened that this charming widow had hooked up with a young pretty boy in the city, so she casually found an excuse and kicked Jin Dabao.


    A man was kicked by a woman. Anyone who said that would feel embarrassed. Although Jin Dabao was a scoundrel, he still had a lot of face on this point, so he decided not to return to Xingtian Village.


    Firstly, because everyone in the village knew about this matter, he would definitely become a laughingstock if he went back. Secondly, because he still had Madame Cao and Jin Weiwei at home, he wouldn''t be able to enjoy any good fortune and might even have to earn money to support them.


    However, he had already used up all of his money, and not a single copper was left. Since he couldn''t return to Xingtian Village, he once again thought of coming to rely on his sister.


    However, even though Jin Dabao''s character was bad, he ended up with two ''Little Bro Berserk Demons''. His two elder sisters especially doted on him, spoiling him like he was their apple since he was little. Thus, when he had nothing left to lose and had nowhere to go, he would immediately run to the county city to seek refuge with his sister.


    Jin Dabao first went to his older sister, Jin Xiaoyan''s. Jin Xiaoyan''s heart ached when she saw her younger brother in such dire straits. She hurriedly settled him down and even made room for him to stay in.


    Jin Dabao''s brother-in-law, Zheng Tong, was an accountant and was currently in charge of the accounts in a large family in the county.


    He was an honest man, and his accounts were clean. Although he could not make a fortune without taking advantage of it, the salary offered by his boss was not low because he was a favorite of his boss. In general, he did not earn much.


    It was a pity that Jin Xiaoyan was a "brother demon". In these past few years, whenever her family had some spare money, she had secretly taken it to help Jin Dabao. As a result, her family did not have much savings.


    Under these conditions, Jin Dabao''s family even ate and drank merrily to serve him, but Jin Dabao''s nature was still unchangeable. Once his life was good, he would not be at ease, and using his elder sister''s love to pamper him, he would always find excuses to ask Jin Dabao for money.


    On this day, he took advantage of the absence of his brother-in-law, Zheng Tong, to go to his elder sister''s room and ask for money. He said that it would take a lot of money for him to start a business partnership with his friend and ask Jin Xiaoyan to lend it to him temporarily.


    Jin Xiaoyan frowned as she heard this. How could she not know her little brother? He said that she was borrowing money, but in reality she was asking for it. Moreover, Jin Dabao wanted a large sum of money this time. She didn''t have that much money on hand, so she resolutely refused Jin Dabao''s offer.


    But at the same time, Jin Dabao understood his elder sister very well and knew that she doted on him the most. Thus, not only did he not retreat, he even rolled around on the floor, acting shamelessly and crying as he insisted that elder sister should immediately give him this silver.


    Jin Xiaoyan could not bear to continue watching the scene unfolding in front of her eyes. She could only reluctantly agree to Jin Dabao''s request. However, she really didn''t have any money to give him, and he was in a rush, so it was too late for her to become a gold and silver jewelry. Under Jin Dabao''s constant urging, she actually lost her head for a moment, and secretly ran over to give Jin Dabao the teasers that she had left for her son to go to school.


    Initially, Jin Xiaoyan had planned to sell some of her gold and silver jewelry in the next few days to make up for this loss. However, he did not expect something unexpected to happen the next day.


    Zheng Tong and Chai Xiu wanted to pay the tuition fees for their son. After searching for a long time, he couldn''t find anything, so he came to ask Jin Xiaoyan. Knowing that she couldn''t hide it any longer, Jin Xiaoyan had no choice but to explain everything.


    Zheng Tong was truly infuriated when he heard this. Normally, she would secretly subsidize her good-for-nothing younger brother. Anyway, it wouldn''t affect her family life. But now, this Jin Dabao was going crazy for money. He was actually thinking about his own son. Zheng Tong could no longer tolerate this.


    This time, he finally exploded. Not only did he curse Jin Xiaoyan, but he also resolutely kicked Jin Dabao out of the house.


    Jin Dabao was chased out of Jin Xiaoyan''s house with a dejected expression. He looked at the money he had swindled from his pocket and saw that he had spent most of it. He then ran over to his second sister''s, Jin Xiaodie''s, home to eat and drink.

 C40

    This second brother-in-law, Jiang Qingshu, was not a good person. He was a hypocritical, cunning and greedy person. When he found out that Jin Dabao was coming to join them, he was extremely unhappy. However, Jin Dabao was his brother-in-law after all. He didn''t want others to say that he was unfaithful and unloyal, so he could only force himself to agree.


    However, Jiang Qingshou was a businessman after all. He wouldn''t be willing to let Jin Dabao do business for free. He couldn''t stand watching Jin Dabao eat and drink in his own house. So he suggested that Jin Dabao could stay at home, but he had to go to the butcher''s and help himself.


    Jin Dabao had nowhere to go, so he had no choice but to agree to Jiang Qingshu''s request and agree to help out in the butcher''s shop. At the beginning, Jiang Qingshou had assigned him the responsibility of shipping. He was always complaining and complaining about his troubles to Jin Xiaodie every day, but soon he found out that he could take out some oil and water during the shipping process, so he kept quiet. He seemed to be working hard every day, but in reality, he was secretly selling some of the goods on the way.


    Jiang Qingshou was a good businessman, so he quickly found out about Jin Dabao''s little trick. In a fit of anger, he also suggested that Jin Dabao''s hands and feet were dirty, and he wanted to kick him out of the house.


    However, despite her gentle personality, Jin Xiaodie was still a pushover. In order to protect her brother, she had not only cried and bawled with Jiang Qingshu, but also went to Jiang Qingshu''s mother and complained to her mother-in-law about how hard it was for her to raise her only brother. She also cried and cursed Jiang Qingshu for being so heartless, but Jin Dabao''s intention was to chase her away.


    Since Aunt Jiang was already old, she naturally hoped for her family and the prosperity of all things. Moreover, she was a person who ate and prayed for nothing. Her heart was extremely soft. When he saw his wife crying so much that she looked like she was about to die, he couldn''t bear it anymore.


    He called Jiang Qingshu to explain to him that no matter what kind of mistake Jin Dabao had committed, he was still Jin Xiaodie''s younger brother, and his brother-in-law.


    With the madame''s words, it was like Jin Dabao had won a gold medal in life. He would continue to do whatever he wanted from then on, cheating and cheating. Jiang Qingshu was well aware of this. His teeth were itching in hatred, but he could only close his eyes and let Jin Dabao go.


    But today, when Shopkeeper Qian came to him, he found out that it wasn''t just Jin Dabao who was fishing for his benefits. Even his silly daughter was bullying him. How could he endure this?


    "Scram for me! Scram right now! I get angry whenever I see you! I have a stomach full of anger!" Jiang Qingshou picked up his teacup and gulped it down cleanly.


    Hearing that he was going to kick Jin Dabao out again, Jin Xiaodie''s face darkened, "This old lady said that we are family, so we can talk it over. Why do you want to drive our family''s Dabao out every now and then?"


    "I''m also telling you, don''t carry my mother out to pressure me! No matter who says it today, it will be useless. I am the head of the family, so I have the final say. " Jiang Qingshu was even more upset when he thought about Jin Xiaodie.


    Jin Xiaodie saw that Jiang Qingshou looked like a rooster whose feathers had been blown. Her face and neck were red, so she didn''t dare to raise this issue again.


    When Jin Dabao saw that the "Gold Medal of Immunity" was no longer effective, he panicked a little and immediately ran to Jiang Qingshu. He kneeled on the ground and hugged his leg tightly, crying out:


    "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you really can''t blame me for this. This is all that happened to that damned girl, Jin Weiwei. It has nothing to do with me. You can''t kick me out!"


    "Right, right, right. This is all that damned girl''s fault. It has nothing to do with our family''s great treasure." Jin Xiaodie chimed in from the side.


    "The daughter he gave birth to has nothing to do with him?" Jiang Qishou glared at Jin Dabao, who was lying on top of him, and said, "Don''t you dare do this to me. Get the hell out of here!"


    "Brother-in-law, you can''t kick me out." Jin Dabao refused to let go. "Even if you chase me away, that damned girl Jin Weiwei will still force you to sever your relationship with us."


    Jiang Qingshou couldn''t help but frown when he heard this.


    He was right. Even if he chased Jin Dabao out of the house, it would be useless. Jin Weiwei was the reason for the problem.


    Jiang Qingshu sighed. "Let go of me first."


    "I won''t let you go unless brother-in-law agrees to not chase me away." Jin Dabao hugged Jiang Qingshu tightly and refused to let go.


    "Let go of me first, then we can talk. Otherwise, don''t talk about anything else."


    When Jin Dabao heard Jiang Qingshu''s words, he immediately got up from the ground. "Brother-in-law, I''ll listen to whatever you say, as long as you don''t kick me out."


    "If you still want to stay in our Jiang family, then immediately pack up and go to Xingtian Village to find your precious daughter." Jiang Qingshou paused before continuing, "I don''t care what method you use or what method you use, just make up with her as soon as possible. Let her go and negotiate with Shopkeeper Qian. Don''t cut off the business with our Jiang Ji Meat Shop."


    "This... "I''m afraid this will be a bit difficult." Jin Dabao had an ugly expression on his face. "Don''t you know that that damn girl is so strong now? She''s even married to a husband, and has a wild man by her side to help her."


    "If it''s easy to do, why would I need you to do it?" Jiang Qingshu rolled his eyes at Jin Dabao. "In short, if you want to stay, you have to get rid of Jin Weiwei. If you can''t, then get lost."


    "Qing Shou, shouldn''t you consider this matter over the long term? After all, that girl Jin Weiwei sounds different from before. She''s not that easy to deal with ¡­"


    Before Jin Xiaodie could finish her words, Jiang Qingshou interrupted her impatiently, "There''s no room for discussion here. Get the hell back to Xingtian Village tonight."


    With that, Jiang Qingshu put his hands behind his back and walked into the inner hall. Jin Xiaodie had no choice but to help Jin Dabao pack up some clothes, give him some crushed silver, and send him on his way.


    It was already midnight when Jin Dabao returned to Xingtian Village. The stars in the sky flickered and the moon was nowhere to be seen. He had to grope around for a long time before he reached his own house.


    "Bang bang bang bang."


    Jin Dabao was extremely tired, he really wanted to immediately lie down and sleep soundly.


    "Bang bang bang bang."


    Why is there no answer? Were they all asleep?


    "Bang bang bang bang!"


    Jin Dabao used more and more strength. The door was almost smashed open by him, but there was still no sound from inside.


    "Jin Weiwei! Jin Weiwei! Quickly open the door for your father!" Jin Dabao shouted at the top of his lungs, causing the village dogs to start barking.

 C41

    "Little Qing, where are you going? "Come back." Jin Weiwei called out to Tao Xiaoqing, who was about to open the door.


    "Big sister Dong, there seems to be someone knocking on the door outside. I think he said it''s your father." Tao Xiaoqing rubbed his head and was at a loss. Although he was sleeping soundly, he could still hear the man outside claiming to be Jin Weiwei''s father.


    "I''m not deaf... "I know what I''m doing. Quickly go inside and sleep."


    Jin Weiwei rushed Tao Xiaoqing back to the house, and then said to the little rich guy who was hiding in the dark, "Don''t hide anymore, I''ve seen you."


    Little Fugui''s body flickered as he walked out from the shadows.


    "You don''t want to open the door for him, do you?" Jin Weiwei pouted. Little Fugui knew her very well. If he wasn''t on her side and still wanted to open the door for Jin Dabao, then she would really be sad.


    Xiao Fugui didn''t answer. He just silently walked over to Jin Weiwei''s side and whispered, "You go sleep, I have the right to do that."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei smiled. She knew her little rich son wouldn''t let her down.


    Although this man didn''t talk much, everything he did was for her sake. Jin Weiwei knew clearly in her heart that this man was reliable. She suddenly wanted to thank the heavens for letting her pick up such a good husband for nothing.


    When Jin Weiwei returned to her room, she lay on her bed, unable to fall asleep. She had been carefully listening to what was happening outside the window.


    At first, Jin Dabao was just outside the door screaming. But after a while, he was tired too, and there was no sound from outside for a long time.


    Just when Jin Weiwei thought that tonight''s farce would end like this, she suddenly heard Jin Dabao''s wails in the yard.


    "Aiyo, stop it, stop it, I''m not a thief, I''m Jin Dabao, Jin Dabao!"


    "Jin Weiwei, hurry and come out. Your father is about to be beaten to death."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei secretly laughed. This must be Jin Dabao who couldn''t knock on the door, so he jumped over the wall and slipped into the yard, but didn''t expect to be caught by the little rich guy who was guarding the yard. He was probably chasing after Jin Dabao and beating him up.


    "Jin Weiwei, you damned girl. You raised such a wild man and even beat up your own father. Truly, you ¡­ Aiyo, aiyo, help! "


    Jin Dabao cried out in alarm. Following that, a muffled sound was heard. It seemed that something heavy had landed on the ground.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but lie down at the window and peek out. She saw that under the moonlight, little rich and rich children were standing at the entrance to the courtyard with a broom in their hands. They were like gods that had firmly guarded the entrance.


    "You damned brat! How dare you hit me with a broom? Look clearly, I''m Jin Dabao! Jin Weiwei''s dad! This is my home!"


    Jin Dabao sat on the ground and rubbed his ankle, which had been twisted accidentally after jumping off the wall. His eyes were as big as bells.


    "Who cares who you are, get lost." Little Fugui impatiently said.


    "Aiyo, stinky brat, who do you think you are? Tell me to get the hell out of here!" Jin Dabao pointed at Xiao Fugui and cursed, "Don''t think that the stinky girl called you ''hubby'' just because you took yourself as the master of this house. I''ll tell you this family''s surname, your surname is Jin, do you know that? You little bastard, I''ll tell you to scram sooner or later! "


    "Stop bullshitting, are you going to scram or not? If you don''t, I''ll directly send you to the government like a thief." Xiao Fugui didn''t even look at Jin Dabao.


    Jin Dabao struggled to stand up. Just as he was about to scream out a few more times, he saw Xiao Fugui heavily stomp his broom on the ground as if he was holding a long tassel gun. A trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes, scaring Jin Dabao into a jump, causing him to forcefully shut his gaping mouth again.


    This was the second time that Jin Dabao had been beaten up by little rich son.


    Last time at the Grand Dominance Restaurant, the little rich kid had directly kicked him into the street without saying a word. The pain made him unable to eat or sleep properly for several days.


    Today, he was once again thrown out of the yard by little rich son, and his leg was also sprained. If he continued to play with little rich son now, not only would he not gain the slightest advantage, he would also suffer a great loss.


    When Jin Dabao thought here, he couldn''t help but take half a step back. As the saying goes, a wise man doesn''t fight when the odds are against him. Since he couldn''t beat this little rich kid, he could only act wisely.


    "Alright, you have guts. I can''t beat you if you know martial arts, but don''t be too proud. We''ll just wait and see!"


    After saying that, Jin Dabao looked into the yard again, but didn''t see any trace of Jin Weiwei.


    This damned girl, she was really ruthless.


    Her biological father had been beaten up to the point of crying out loud, but she didn''t even come out to take a look.


    If that''s the case, then don''t blame him for not loving her. He must take back this house and the Jin family''s meat shop, and this stinking brat who didn''t know what''s good for himself. Sooner or later, he must kick him out!


    "Still not getting out?" Seeing that Jin Dabao was still hanging by the door, Xiao Fugui stuck his head into the yard and took a step forward with his broom.


    "Go, go, I''ll go ¡­" Jin Dabao was afraid that the little rich kid would beat him up again, so he hurriedly used his hands to hold his head and limped away.


    "Where is he?"


    As soon as Xiao Fugui entered the room, he was stopped by Jin Weiwei.


    She had peeked at the window for a long time, but hadn''t been able to find anything. However, seeing that the little rich kid stayed at the door for a long time, she guessed that Jin Dabao wouldn''t be so easy to deal with, so she got out of bed and ran to the outer room to wait.


    Xiao Fugui looked at Jin Weiwei, turned her around, and gently pushed her into the room from behind. "I''ve already driven him away. You can sleep in peace."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei felt a lot more at ease. She winked at little Fugui, then stuck out two fingers and made a "V" sign.


    What did this gesture mean?


    Following Jin Weiwei''s example, little Fugui also stretched out two fingers as he waited for Jin Weiwei to explain the meaning behind her gesture.


    Who knew that Jin Weiwei didn''t intend to explain at all.


    "Good night, my little rich boy." With that, she rushed into her room and closed the door, leaving behind a question mark as she stood there in a daze with two fingers extended.


    Unexpectedly, when Tao Xiaoqing opened the door of the butcher''s shop the next morning, he immediately saw Jin Dabao snoring loudly inside.


    It turned out that Jin Dabao still had the key to the butcher''s shop, so after he was chased out last night, he directly ran over to the butcher''s shop and opened the door for himself.


    "Who are you?!" Tao Xiaoqing was shocked.


    Jin Dabao was woken up by Tao Xiaoqing. He looked at Tao Xiaoqing with sleepy eyes and slanted his mouth as he said,


    "I am Jin Weiwei''s father, Jin Dabao. "You must be the waiter of this shop. Hurry up and get me some water to wash my face. This time, your father''s sleep is truly sore."

 C42

    When Tao Xiaoqing heard this voice, he immediately knew that it was the person who was shouting at his doorstep last night.


    So he was Jin Dabao, the father of his boss'' sister. It was him who kidnapped his mother and ran away. He thought that the two of them would just die outside, but to think that they would suddenly return.


    Thinking of this, Tao Xiaoqing stared at Jin Dabao hatefully.


    Even though Tao Xiaoqing was still young when Jin Dabao and Widow Chen had eloped, and he had only met Jin Dabao once or twice, and the memory of him was blurred and blurred.


    If not for him, his own mother might not have abandoned him, and he would not have become an orphan, bullied in every way by his younger uncle''s family.


    "Eh? Are you deaf, boy? Didn''t you hear what the boss said? Get me some water. " Jin Dabao shouted again when he saw Tao Xiaoqing standing motionlessly on the spot.


    However, when Jin Dabao saw that Liu Ming''s eyes looked as if they were about to spit fire, he could not help but be shocked.


    "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you have a grudge against me? "


    Jin Dabao sized up Tao Xiaoqing and suddenly recognized him.


    Wasn''t this child the son of Lady Chen and Tao Daorong?


    "You ¡­ You are Tao Xiaoqing? "


    Jin Dabao had never expected that Jin Weiwei would invite Madam Chen''s son to help out.


    Logically speaking, she should hate Madam Chen and her child. How did they end up together? He really couldn''t understand this damned girl''s thoughts.


    Seeing that Jin Dabao recognized him, Tao Xiaoqing did not deny it. He glared at Jin Dabao and said, "I am Tao Xiaoqing. "But you''re not my boss, my boss only has one, and that''s Jin Weiwei."


    Aiyaya, even a little brat like him dares to not put him in your eyes. What else can we do if we don''t teach him a lesson?


    Jin Dabao had eaten Little Fugui''s broomstick last night, and his stomach was full of grievances, but now that the thin and weak Tao Xiaoqing dared to treat him like this, he immediately became furious. Little Fugui couldn''t beat him, so taking care of this Tao Xiaoqing was more than enough.


    Jin Dabao walked in front of Tao Xiaoqing with three steps and grabbed his lapel. He shouted, "You little bastard, open your eyes and look clearly. This is the Jin family''s butcher''s shop, it''s my butcher''s shop!"


    When Jin Weiwei arrived at the butcher''s shop, she saw Jin Dabao bullying Tao Xiaoqing. She immediately shouted, "Release him!"


    Jin Weiwei''s confident voice scared Jin Dabao so much that he immediately let go.


    Jin Weiwei quickly stepped forward and pulled Tao Xiaoqing behind her, "Jin Dabao, do you still have any shame? What, you can''t beat my little rich kid, so you ran over here to vent your anger? "


    Jin Dabao scratched his head, turned around and sat down on the chair, acting like a scoundrel. "What are you talking about? It''s just a lesson for the young lad, that''s all. "


    "How did you get in? "Hurry and get out of here." Jin Weiwei frowned and wanted to chase Jin Dabao out.


    "This is a strange question. This is a butcher''s shop of my Jin family. Since I have the key, naturally, I can enter." Jin Dabao took a peek at Xiao Fugui again and bravely said, "And this is my Jin family''s butcher shop. Smelly girl, why did you tell me to go out?"


    "You ¡­ You really are a scoundrel. "


    Jin Weiwei saw that Jin Dabao was acting like a dead pig that wasn''t afraid of boiling water, and a flame rose in her heart. She turned around, walked over to Fugui and pinched his arm. "Is this what you meant by chasing him away?"


    The boy was in pain, and his brow furrowed slightly. However, he didn''t move at all, allowing Jin Weiwei to hold him tight.


    Jin Weiwei saw that Fugui was neither resisting nor running away, so she couldn''t bear it any longer. She let go and slapped him again. "Hurry and think of a way."


    Xiao Fugui didn''t say anything and directly walked towards Jin Dabao.


    "What are you doing? Let me tell you, don''t act recklessly in broad daylight, don''t make a move! "


    When Jin Dabao saw that Xiao Fugui was coming over, he sat up straight, nervously. He desperately leaned back on the chair and tightly gripped the two armrests, afraid that Xiao Fugui would throw him out again.


    However, Xiao Fugui turned a deaf ear to his words. He pulled Jin Dabao up from the chair, and with a flick of his body, Jin Dabao flew out again.


    Plop!


    Jin Dabao fell flat on his butt.


    "Eh? Look, isn''t this that Jin Dabao? "


    "I think so. I haven''t seen him for some time, right? When did he come back?"


    "Eh? How did he get thrown out of his own butcher''s shop? What kind of play is this? "


    The villagers eating at the breakfast stand next to the Jin family''s butcher''s shop, upon seeing Jin Dabao, who was still alive, thrown onto the street, they all came over and surrounded him in curiosity.


    People in the village usually woke up early, so there were quite a few people eating at the breakfast shop this morning.


    When Jin Dabao saw the familiar face of a villager, he immediately made up his mind ¡ª he was going to suffer miserably.


    This was because he knew that these villagers would definitely sympathize with the weak, not to mention that he was Jin Weiwei''s father.


    "Wuwuwu ¡­" Jin Dabao suddenly covered his face and wailed, "Weiwei, I know I was wrong. I was wrong in the past, I''m a bastard, I''m not a thing. Please forgive me, okay?"


    Jin Weiwei was stunned for a moment. She immediately realized that Jin Dabao was acting, trying to get the sympathy of the villagers in order to put pressure on her.


    "Stop putting on an act here, I''m not going to act like this. Hurry up and f * ck off, I don''t want to see you." Jin Weiwei waved her hand.


    "Weiwei, look at my age. Where else can I go? "You are the only daughter I have. Weiwei, forgive me, but I know I was wrong."


    Jin Dabao sat on the ground with his face covered in dust. He looked like he had snot and tears on his face. He looked a bit sad. Thus, many villagers who came to watch the fun started to chime in.


    "Father and daughter have never had a grudge, he''s your father after all, right?"


    "That''s right, that''s right, no matter how bad he is, he''s still your father. Since he knows his wrongs, just forgive him once."


    He really didn''t know whether to say whether these villagers were kind or ignorant. Even Jin Dabao''s pretentious acting could deceive their sympathy. Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but roll her eyes inside.


    When Jin Dabao heard these discussions, he immediately put on an even harder performance. He turned to the little rich kid and wailed,


    "Little Fugui, I beg you, please don''t hit me again. My old bones really can''t take your punches and kicks, if you hit me again, I''m afraid I''ll fly into the sky."


    After he finished speaking, he even pretended to cover his chest and coughed twice.

 C43

    "Since this little beggar has married the girl from the Jin family, then Jin Dabao is his father-in-law. This son-in-law is really outrageous when he beat up his father-in-law."


    "He''s a fool, how could he know the logic behind this?"


    Hearing the villagers talk about little rich son, Jin Weiwei wanted to refute a few words, but little rich son stopped her, signaling her not to open her mouth to argue.


    Jin Dabao thought that he had the upper hand when he saw Jin Weiwei and little Fugui were both speechless. He was secretly happy that he would take advantage of this opportunity to return to the Jin family. Only then would he be able to achieve his goal.


    "Weiwei, just forgive Daddy, okay?" Jin Dabao decided to act until the end. There was no worst case scenario, only worse.


    He actually dragged his body along the ground and climbed up to Jin Weiwei''s feet, grabbed her feet and begged,


    "Weiwei, can you just give me one chance to change my mind?" "I know that you are definitely still angry at me, but I truly know that I was wrong. I am willing to change. As long as you let me go home, I will do whatever you want me to do. I can make up for it."


    He really did not expect this Jin Dabao to be a playwright. He could even act out such a disgusting drama show, yet he still dragged his body to his side. Could it be that Jin Dabao''s legs had been crippled? Why did he stop spitting blood to make the atmosphere worse?


    The more Jin Weiwei saw, the angrier she got. She really wanted to raise her foot and kick him again. However, she knew that she definitely couldn''t make a move at this time. Otherwise, she would be drowned in the saliva of the village''s aunts, aunts, uncles, and uncles.


    "Tsk tsk, what a pity. Even at his age, he still can''t go home."


    "I say, little girl of the Jin family, how can you be so heartless? He is your father, just let him go home."


    "That''s right. In the end, it''s still a family. Look at your father, he''s already at this level. Why are you still angry with him?"


    "Didn''t they say that prodigal sons go back for money?" I think your dad really knows he''s wrong now, so just give him a chance. "


    When Jin Dabao saw that everyone was talking to him, he knew that his plan worked. He looked at Jin Weiwei with a bit of pride in his eyes.


    Jin Weiwei swept her eyes over the crowd and saw the pity on their faces. They had already treated Jin Dabao as a poor man who wanted to turn back and turn back into a human again. She knew that at this moment, she could only agree to Jin Dabao''s request and let him return home to pacify the public.


    When he looked down, Jin Dabao was actually looking at him proudly, and there was even a hint of provocation in his eyes.


    Good!


    Since Jin Dabao wanted to go home and stay by his side so much, he would give him this chance to have a good taste of her "life" with Jin Weiwei.


    "Hurry up and get up. The ground is still cold this early in the morning." Han Weiwei pretended to lift Jin Dabao up. She took the opportunity to pinch his arm tightly, then continued to speak gently, "Since we''re already at this point, I won''t say anything else. Let''s go home now, okay?"


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei had finally agreed to let Jin Dabao go home, and had even personally helped Jin Dabao up from the ground, everyone cheered. They all praised Jin Weiwei as a sensible and good girl.


    Jin Dabao''s arm was pinched so hard that it hurt. He could be considered to have been forcibly pulled up from the ground by Jin Weiwei.


    He was just about to complain when Jin Weiwei pulled him to her side and whispered, "It''s good enough for you to go home. Don''t push yourself too far, or I''ll tear off my face."


    Jin Dabao could only force out a smile as a response.


    Just like that, under everyone''s gazes and blessings, Jin Weiwei took Jin Dabao home.


    * *


    Jin Weiwei pulled Jin Dabao. She didn''t care if his feet still hurt from last night''s sprain. They walked very fast and soon reached home.


    Upon entering the yard, Jin Weiwei immediately released her hand and shoved Jin Dabao into the yard with all her might, "Not bad, Jin Dabao. I didn''t expect you to be so good at acting!"


    Jin Weiwei had a lot of strength, and this push caused Jin Dabao to stagger and almost fall to the ground again.


    "You damn girl, no matter what, you were born of me. I''m your biological father, how can you treat me like this!"


    Pui! You''re the son of a bitch.


    Jin Weiwei cursed in her heart.


    What ''father'', you are not my father, the original owner was killed by you guys long ago. When did you treat the original owner?


    "What should I do to you? Tell me about it. " Jin Weiwei snorted coldly, crossed her arms over her chest, and tilted her head as she asked.


    "Is there even a need to ask? Being filial to his parents was a matter of course! I''m going home now, so of course you should give me something to eat and drink. "


    Jin Dabao was really thick-skinned. Just a moment ago, he was saying in front of everyone that he had to work hard to support his family. After making up for his meritorious deeds, he now asked for Jin Weiwei to provide him with food and drinks.


    "Hmph, you still have the nerve to say these words? They are all filial children, and you want me to show you my filial piety. First, think about if you have ever raised me properly. " Jin Weiwei rolled her eyes at Jin Dabao and continued, "Did you just say that you were willing to do anything as long as you could go home? If you go back on your word, then immediately scram! "


    When Jin Dabao heard this, he knew that Jin Weiwei had a tough tone. In order to come back first, he had no choice but to give in and say, "It doesn''t matter, why doesn''t it count ¡­" I''ll do whatever you want me to do. "


    With that, he looked around the room and asked, "But leave me to do the work first. Where will I stay when I return?"


    Jin Dabao had only returned to the butcher''s shop after tossing things out in the middle of the night. Since the early morning, he was already exhausted. He needed a bed so badly that he could lie down on it and catch up on his sleep.


    Jin Weiwei saw that he was still planning to enter the main house, so she secretly laughed. This Jin Dabao, even now, was still daydreaming. Did he still think that she was the same Jin Weiwei from before who was heartless? Then he was completely wrong.


    Right now, Jin Weiwei was definitely not a silly white lotus. She was a person who loved and hated others. She wanted revenge, and she wanted to avenge her wrongdoers.


    "Where you want to stay? Alright, come with me."


    Jin Weiwei raised her eyebrows and led Jin Dabao around the main house to the backyard. She pointed to the woodshed in the corner and said, "Well, from today onwards, you will live in the woodshed."


    "What, you want me to live in this lousy woodshed?!" Jin Dabao widened his eyes with a look of disbelief on his face.


    "Then what? Our house is only this big, there are a few rooms all count. I''ve already let Little Qing live in the sundry room beside the sheep pen, so now only this woodshed is still empty.


    Only now did Jin Dabao come back to his senses. It seemed that Jin Weiwei didn''t want him to get along with her after she asked him to come home.

 C44

    He walked into the woodshed and looked around carefully.


    Although this broken house was called a woodshed, it was actually only a small broken house of one or two square meters. The interior was filled with hay and firewood, making it impossible for one to land on one''s feet. Looking upwards, one could see that half of the roof of the house had collapsed without being repaired.


    Such a house was not a place for people to live.


    Jin Dabao frowned as he backed out of the room, feeling extremely dissatisfied. "How can this be considered a firewood house? This place is even worse than a pigsty." I don''t live here, I want to live in a butcher''s shop! "


    You want to live alone in a butcher''s shop and be free and unfettered? There was no door.


    How could Jin Weiwei let him live alone in a butcher''s shop? She wanted to put Jin Dabao under her nose and stare at him.


    "That won''t do. A butcher''s shop is a butcher''s shop, and home is home. "If you don''t want to live in a good home and go to a butcher''s shop, others will gossip. I don''t want to be accused of abusing my father."


    When Jin Dabao heard Jin Weiwei''s words, he could not help but jump up and down in anger.


    "Just because you told me to live in this lousy woodshed is the way to abuse my dad, okay? Take a look at this broken room. It is not even as big as a bed, and not only is the air leaking in all four directions, even half the roof has collapsed.


    Jin Weiwei sneered, "Why isn''t this a place for people to live?" Don''t forget, when I was young, you made me live here many times. "


    It turned out that Jin Weiwei had always been disliked by Jin Dabao because she had an ordinary appearance, was stupid, and didn''t like Jin Dabao. In addition, she was his daughter, a loser who would marry into someone else sooner or later.


    Normally, if he made a small mistake, he would be beaten up by Jin Dabao, then locked in this woodshed and starved for the entire night. If it was a sunny day without any wind or rain, Jin Weiwei would be able to endure inside for the whole night. But if the weather changed and the wind or rain blew, she would not even have a place to hide.


    "Isn''t that because you were too naughty when you were young? That''s why I, I ¡­" I just punished you a little bit. "


    To think that Jin Dabao still had the face to quibble.


    Naughty? A little punishment?


    "What do you mean naughty?" I am just a few years old child wash the entire family''s clothes, wash slowly did not catch up with the cooking spot, this is called naughty? When I was slaughtering the sheep alone, I accidentally did not catch it and let the blood splatter on the yard. Is this called being naughty? Is it in your eyes that as long as anything I do is not to your liking, I will be mischievous and should be punished by you? "


    "Cough cough, this is all in the past, why are you still bringing it up now?" Jin Dabao knew that he was in the wrong and muttered softly.


    "Why are you mentioning this? "Hrmph." Jin Weiwei frowned. "Of course you don''t want me to talk about the past. Just take it as the past after you''ve scolded me. But I won''t forget it so easily."


    "Remember when I was nine, you beat me up with a branch because I accidentally knocked over a bowl of soup, and then threw me into this woodshed. Do you know how much my wound hurt when I was hit by the storm that night? I cried and begged you to let me in, but you didn''t even look at me from the corner of your eye. "If Auntie Li, who was next door, had not coincidentally come to borrow vinegar, and discovered me, I probably would have died in this woodshed a long time ago!"


    After hearing Jin Weiwei''s accusation, Jin Dabao was left speechless.


    He tilted his head and thought for a moment. If he didn''t make up his mind to go back to the woodshed now, Jin Weiwei''s hatred towards him might never be extinguished. In order to dispel her hostility and make it convenient for him to take back the shop in the future, he could only temporarily feel wronged and live in this dilapidated wooden house.


    "Weiwei, don''t be angry, don''t be angry. It was my fault in the past, I caused you to suffer ¡­" Jin Dabao wiped his eyes, which did not shed a single tear, and said, "Since you insist on letting me live in the woodshed, I''ll listen to you. I''ll stay here. Are you happy now?"


    "Hmph, consider yourself sensible."


    Jin Weiwei saw that Jin Dabao agreed to live in the woodshed, so she didn''t say anything more. She went into the house and found a random bed cover to throw to Jin Dabao, then ignored him and entered the house to rest.


    The little rich kid stood aside, listening from beginning to end, then quietly followed Jin Weiwei into the room.


    "He sure is lucky." He sat next to Jin Weiwei and did not say a word all this time. Suddenly, he raised his hand and gently rubbed Jin Weiwei''s hair.


    "What, now you know that I''ve been living a lowly life since I was young, right?" Jin Weiwei tilted her head in a slightly reprimanding manner, while her eyes turned slightly red.


    Xiao Fugui heard this and frowned. He reached out his hand to hold Jin Weiwei''s hand tightly and whispered softly, "Don''t worry. In the future, with me, you won''t suffer any more grievances."


    "That sounds good." Jin Weiwei pouted.


    "I promise." Little Fugui raised his three fingers and swore an oath to the heavens.


    "You said it yourself. In the future, I will only be allowed to bully others. No one is allowed to bully me." Jin Weiwei rubbed her red eyes and grinned.


    Seeing that she had turned from anger to joy, the corners of Xiao Fugui''s mouth curled up as well.


    * *


    The next day, just as the horizon turned white, Jin Weiwei woke Jin Dabao up.


    "Hey hey, hurry up and pack up. Come with me to the butcher''s shop to help."


    Jin Dabao struggled to roll over. He, who had slept on the floor last night in the woodshed, was now sore all over.


    "Why aren''t you getting up? You''re not going to work, are you? " Jin Weiwei leaned against the door and leisurely said, "Sigh, I think it''s better if you don''t. You''re an old bag of bones, otherwise, it''s better to stay home and do some chores. You don''t need to meddle in the butcher''s business."


    About the butcher''s shop?


    When Jin Dabao heard this, he immediately clenched his teeth and got up, "I''m going to the butcher''s shop to help, of course."


    Jin Weiwei knew that his heart was always plotting against the butcher''s shop, so how could he give up the opportunity to go there?


    "If you want to help, then hurry up. We''ll leave after breakfast. We won''t wait for you if we''re late." After saying that, Jin Weiwei turned around and left.


    He ran to the well and washed his face with water. The cold well water immediately refreshed him, but when he went to the kitchen to clean up, not only had Jin Wei and the other two already finished their breakfast, they had also cleaned up the pots and pans, leaving not a single bit of rice leftover.


    "Where''s my breakfast?" Jin Dabao asked as he rubbed his shriveled belly.


    "Aiya, why did you come only after finishing the meal?" Jin Weiwei deliberately burped and turned to Tao Xiaoqing, saying, "Xiaoqing, quickly go to the vat over there and get a nest for him."


    "Alright." Tao Xiaoqing quickly took a hard and dry hole and stuffed it into Jin Dabao''s hands.

 C45

    Jin Dabao weighed it in his hand as if it were a stone.


    "Why aren''t you eating?" Only after eating your fill will you have the strength to work properly. " Jin Weiwei pretended to be polite.


    "I don''t seem very hungry yet." Jin Dabao put his head in his arms.


    Although he was living under someone else''s roof, because of the care of his elder sister, he had always lived a life of luxury. Since when had he ever eaten such a hard and dry snack?


    "Since you''re not hungry, then stop eating. Let''s go." Jin Weiwei purposely avoided looking at the disdainful look on Jin Dabao''s face, and pulled Fugui out the door.


    The four of them went to the butcher''s shop together. Tao Xiaoqing opened the door with quick movements. After cleaning up, he took the meat out of the warehouse and placed it on the meat table for the customers to choose from. On the other hand, Xiao Fugui opened up his account book and started to clear up the accounts that he hadn''t finished the day before. Jin Weiwei didn''t stay idle either. While she was tidying up the sausages, she was also checking the boxes so that someone from the town could pick them up in the morning.


    Jin Dabao was quite surprised to see Jin Weiwei and the other two carry out their duties with great enthusiasm. He really didn''t expect that the silly lass could run a half-dead butcher''s shop so well.


    Jin Dabao, who had nothing else to do, stood blankly on the side for a while before shamelessly running over to Jin Weiwei and asked, "What can I do?"


    Jin Weiwei stopped what she was doing and glanced at Jin Dabao. "What can you do?"


    This sentence stunned Jin Dabao.


    He really didn''t know what he could do. All of the work in the shop had been arranged in a neat and orderly manner by Jin Weiwei. It was as if there wasn''t anything that he could interfere in.


    "How about I help you deliver the goods?" Jin Dabao pointed to the sausage that Jin Weiwei had just put in. This was a job that he was familiar with.


    "No need, in a bit, Doctor Tang will send someone to take it away, there''s no need for us to send you off." Jin Weiwei lifted up the whole crate of sausages and neatly placed it near the entrance of the store.


    Since he had nothing else to do, Jin Dabao could only clasp his hands behind his back as he walked around the shop, greeting the acquaintances who came to buy meat.


    "Oh, Big Treasure, you''re not going back this time, are you?" Aunt Wang who lived in the west end of the village asked.


    "I''m not leaving, I''m not leaving." Jin Dabao smiled in embarrassment. He knew that Aunt Wang''s words were a joke about him eloping with widow Chen.


    "It''s better if you don''t leave. No matter how good the flowers and flowers outside are, it''s still not as comfortable as your home, don''t you think?" Auntie Wang and Auntie Li also came over to talk.


    Jin Dabao smiled and nodded. In his heart, he thought, "What do you two rural women know? The outside world is much more fun than this countryside. After he takes back this butcher''s shop, he will definitely return to the county to live his carefree life."


    "Great treasure has come back this time. Look at this girl from the Jin family, she is so promising."


    "Isn''t it? "Not only did this girl get married, she even did such a good job in the butcher''s shop. I can see that you don''t need to do anything at all. Just be a shopkeeper and wait to enjoy the blessings of your daughter''s son-in-law."


    The two women spoke on their own and were happy in place of Jin Dabao.


    "That''s right, that''s right. It''s really a blessing to have such a good daughter and son-in-law." Jin Dabao faked a smile.


    He didn''t expect to have any good fortune. This damned girl hated him to death in her heart. This damn kid was the same as Jin Weiwei. I''m afraid it''s as beautiful as he thinks.


    Besides, this was a run-down place in the countryside, and he didn''t want to spend his whole life guarding this meat shop. He had to take back the butcher''s shop, destroy Jin Weiwei, and then quickly go back to the Jiang family!


    Thinking of this, Jin Dabao sneakily glanced at the busy Jin Weiwei ¨C what on earth could he do to take back the butcher''s shop from this damned girl?


    Jin Weiwei clearly felt that someone was staring at him. When she raised her head, she saw that Jin Dabao was glaring at her. Although Jin Dabao quickly withdrew his gaze and pretended as if nothing had happened as he continued to chat with Aunt Wang, Jin Weiwei could still see a trace of unease in his eyes.


    "Dad, why have you been standing there all this time? Let Little Qing take care of the customer recruitment. Hurry up and rest, don''t get tired."


    Jin Weiwei moved a chair next to Jin Dabao and pushed him onto the chair. Then she turned towards Aunt Wang and said with a smile, "My dad twisted his leg two days ago, so he couldn''t stand for a long time. I''m really sorry."


    "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it''s said that a girl is Daddy''s little cotton-padded jacket, that''s right. That damn kid in my family never cared about me. "


    "The girl from the Jin family is so filial, she is so sensible."


    "Not at all, taking care of dad is something your daughter should do." "What do you two need? Just tell Xiaoqing and I will help you wipe your hair when the bill is settled."


    When Aunt Wang and the others heard this, they immediately ran over to the meat table with smiles on their faces and pulled Tao Xiaoqing along to pick the meat.


    For the next few days, Jin Dabao followed Jin Weiwei and the other two to the butcher''s shop on time, and then he just sat on the side, bored to death, waiting for the shop to close.


    The customers that came and went praised him for having good fortune and for not having to do anything were able to enjoy themselves, but he himself was depressed to death, because if he continued to be this idle and was unable to interfere in the business of the butcher, then who knew when he would have the chance to snatch back the butcher''s shop.


    Jin Dabao was bored, and so was Jin Weiwei.


    That was why she arranged for him to live in the woodshed and nibble on his head. However, these were only low-level methods. She had always wanted Jin Dabao to make a mistake so that she could find a fault and teach him a lesson. However, Jin Dabao seemed to have his eyes opened to the situation. He always listened to Jin Weiwei''s words, and every day, he would obediently make people unable to hold a candle to him.


    Today, just like a few days ago, Jin Dabao followed the three of them to the butcher''s shop. Just as he sat down, he saw little Fugui son take out a large cash box. It turned out that today was the end of the month. Little Fugui wanted to check the entire month''s cash flow, so he took out the butcher''s till and wanted to count it.


    Jin Dabao''s eyes began to glow with a green light as he saw the white and shiny silver and strings of copper coins inside the box. He didn''t expect that Jin Weiwei would see all the money he opened and see.


    Jin Weiwei''s heart skipped a beat. Instead of waiting for Jin Dabao to make a mistake himself, why not create an opportunity for him to make one?


    Thinking about this, Jin Weiwei pulled Jin Dabao to the cash box without waiting for the little rich kid to finish counting the items. "Didn''t you say you were bored and wanted to find something to do?" "Here''s the box of money. Please help me count it."

 C46

    Hearing this, little Fugui was surprised for a moment. He raised his eyes to look at Jin Weiwei and quickly discovered that there was a trace of craftiness hidden in her eyes. He understood what she meant and pushed the money box in front of Jin Dabao.


    "You want me to count the money?" Jin Dabao could not believe it. Jin Weiwei actually wanted to hand over the bill to him.


    Jin Weiwei nodded and said, "Yes, that''s right. From now on, this money box will be in your custody, and you will be responsible for checking up on the accounts every day. Little Fugui will continue to do the accounts and check the accounts with you every day."


    Jin Dabao was confused as he took the money box and held it in his arms. He was extremely happy. He wished that he could just turn around and run away with the money, but thinking that he had not achieved his goal yet, he could only swallow his saliva in front of the money box and endure it.


    Thus, on the surface, Jin Weiwei gave the money box to Jin Dabao for safekeeping. In fact, when the restaurant closed every day, the rich kids still had to check the amount of money, which was equivalent to letting the money pass through Jin Dabao''s hands every day.


    Jin Dabao was like a hungry man who held a piece of roasted meat in his arms every day. One could see that he couldn''t eat it, but he felt extremely depressed in his heart. On top of that, Jin Dabao felt even more infuriated when he saw Jin Weiwei and little Fugui and their sweet, sweet, and luscious appearances in the restaurant every day.


    After thinking it over again and again, Jin Dabao decided that since he had no other choice with Jin Weiwei for the time being, he might as well start with little rich children.


    This stinking brat would always stand in front of Jin Weiwei and stand up for her. If she could drive him away first, it would be equivalent to flicking out a piece of Jin Weiwei''s heart ¡­ Jin Dabao stared at Xiao Fugui who was seriously settling the score. His eyeballs rolled in his eye sockets as a bad idea popped up in his mind.


    On this day, just as the restaurant was about to close for business, Tao Xiaoqing was busy cleaning up the meat case. Jin Weiwei was tidying up the sausage racks, while little Fugui was lying prone on the floor clearing up the accounts for the day.


    Jin Dabao took advantage of the three''s busy state to secretly steal some money from the cash box. Then, he looked around and pretended to walk to the side of Xiao Fugui while the three of them were busy.


    "Little Fugui, aren''t you done settling your accounts today?"


    "Yes." Little Fugui perfunctorily promised.


    When Jin Dabao saw that Xiao Fugui didn''t even raise his head, he was overjoyed. The heavens were helping him, so he leaned over slightly and secretly put the money into Xiao Fugui''s coat pocket on the chair.


    Jin Dabao was elated to see the unaffected look on Xiao Fugui''s face. He thought to himself, "This little brat is about to die, how can he not know?"


    "Big sister Dong, the meat that Aunt Zhang, who was sitting next to the locust tree, ordered yesterday hasn''t been retrieved yet. Should I send it over to her now?" Tao Xiaoqing raised a piece of good mutton and asked.


    "I''ll go, I''ll go." When Jin Dabao heard that Tao Xiaoqing was going to deliver the meat, he immediately rushed over and snatched the meat from Tao Xiaoqing''s hands.


    It just so happened that he had wanted to find an excuse to leave so that the money box would be left unguarded. This way, it would be convenient to frame the rich and young child as'' stealing money ''.


    Jin Weiwei looked at Jin Dabao strangely ¡ª why was he working so hard today?


    "Ahem, didn''t I just stay in the store for the whole day?" To conceal his purpose for coming here, Jin Dabao said, "You''ve all been busy the whole day, so let me handle this errand. "I''ll be right back. Weiwei, look carefully at that cash box."


    With that, Jin Dabao ran off with the meat.


    Looking at Jin Dabao''s running away figure, Jin Weiwei suddenly became suspicious. Before he left, he even specifically told her to keep an eye on the cash box. There must be something fishy about it.


    Thinking of this, Jin Weiwei wiped her hands. She opened the money box and counted. After that, she and little Fugui checked the money. Sure enough, there was one less coin in the money box.


    "Alright, I knew that he could no longer hide his fox tail and had finally decided to take action, right? Let me grab you and show you who''s boss!"


    Jin Weiwei was about to go out and capture Jin Dabao to confront him, but little Fugui caught her.


    "What are you doing? Why are you stopping me from catching Jin Dabao?" Jin Weiwei was puzzled.


    Xiao Fugui picked up his coat that was hanging on the chair and fished out a bunch of money from his pocket.


    "Eh? How did you get the money in your pocket? " Jin Weiwei took the money and asked in surprise.


    The little rich kid scratched Jin Weiwei''s nose and said with a smile, "I don''t have any money, so of course someone put the money in my pocket."


    Jin Weiwei was suddenly enlightened. "Are you saying that Jin Dabao stole the money, and then intentionally put it in your pocket to frame you?!"


    Little Fugui nodded.


    Actually, when Jin Dabao walked over to him, he already felt that something wasn''t right, so it seemed like he didn''t care about Jin Dabao, but in reality, he was paying close attention. When Jin Dabao stuffed the money into his pocket, he was even more clear about it.


    This Jin Dabao had a lot of evil intentions.


    Since he wanted to play the trick of framing her, then she, Jin Weiwei, would return the favor and return the crime of stealing money to him.


    "Sure, wait here for us ¡­" I''ll go hide the money and see what happens when he comes back! " As she spoke, she took the money and went to the backyard.


    Jin Weiwei came to the meat shop''s backyard. She looked left and right, but didn''t find a suitable place to hide the money.


    This was because there was only a sparsely growing pomegranate tree in the backyard. There was a messy pile of junk beside the tree. Other than that, everything else was an open space that could be seen to the end. If you hid the money in the trees or in the clutter, it would be very easy to find it, but you still wouldn''t be able to tell who stole the money.


    Jin Weiwei scratched her head and had a sudden inspiration.


    Eh? Why couldn''t he hide the money in the mysterious space? That was a place no one else could find.


    Jin Weiwei looked around and confirmed that both little Fugui and Tao Xiaoqing were busy in the store. She quickly chanted an incantation and opened the door to the mysterious space.


    It really had been a long time since she last came to this mysterious space. Upon entering the door, Jin Weiwei had a feeling of enlightenment. If she looked carefully, it seemed that the space inside the mysterious space had increased a lot compared to the last time she came in.


    Jin Weiwei used her feet to measure the land. It was indeed two steps bigger than last time. If she continued at this speed, she really didn''t dare to imagine how big this mysterious space would grow in the end.


    In order to be in a hurry, Jin Weiwei put the money next to the nearest wildflower near the entrance. Suddenly, she discovered that there was a leaf stuck on her sleeve. She picked it up and realized that it was not a flower in space, but rather the leaf of the pomegranate tree in her yard.


    This must have been the place where he hid the money, jumping up and down, accidentally touching it.


    Jin Weiwei didn''t mind. She casually dropped the pomegranate leaves and left them in the space. Then, she quickly slipped out.

 C47

    When he returned to the butcher''s shop, he saw little rich kids looking at him. Jin Weiwei winked at him mischievously, and made an OK gesture with her hand, indicating that she had hidden the money properly.


    When the little rich son saw Jin Weiwei make this strange gesture, he knew it meant that things had been done, so he nodded slightly.


    However, Tao Xiaoqing did not know what this meant, "Big Sister Dong, what sign language are you using? Why can''t I understand it?"


    Jin Weiwei smiled and said, "This is an OK. It means okay. No problem."


    Tao Xiaoqing was even more confused when he heard this. "Oak?"


    "Yes, that''s right, OK. Remember, from now on, this is our Jin family''s meat shop''s code word. " Jin Weiwei said mysteriously.


    "So this is the code word invented by Big Sister Dong. I get it." Tao Xiaoqing nodded excitedly. This was a secret phrase that only the three of them knew, indicating how much the boss'' elder sister trusted him.


    After a short while, Jin Dabao returned with the meat. Everyone pretended as if nothing had happened, and no one asked anything about the money box.


    When Jin Dabao saw that the three of them were doing the same thing as before, and the cash box was still in the same place, he thought that no one had found out about the loss yet.


    Thus, he pretended to walk towards the cash box and sat down. He deliberately made quite a commotion as he opened the box in front of everyone and started counting the money.


    "Aiyaya, why is there so little money?" When I leave, there will be six bundles of copper coins left in the money box, but why do I only have five bundles left now? " Jin Dabao shouted, "This is incredible! The money must have been stolen!"


    Hearing Jin Dabao''s shout, Jin Weiwei and the other two put down their work. Even the customers who were buying meat at the side crowded over.


    "As you can see, do you really have less money?" Jin Weiwei asked unhurriedly.


    "I saw it clearly. This money was definitely stolen by someone. Otherwise, how could there be a bunch of copper coins missing?" Jin Dabao held the money box tightly and said with a sad face.


    "Then ¡­" Jin Weiwei didn''t say anything.


    Jin Dabao quickly said, "Then we''ll ask the village chief to come and have a look. Who exactly stole our butcher''s shop''s money!"


    "Who else could it be? This cash box has always been placed inside the butcher''s shop, and people outside can''t enter. It''s all your own people inside, so I bet this thief is a house thief!" A customer said casually.


    These words struck right into Jin Dabao''s heart, "What this little brother said makes sense! "This money box has always been in the shop. Outsiders won''t have the chance to come across it. I think it''s really possible that this money was stolen by our own family."


    "What do you mean? Are you suspecting that any of us would steal money? " Jin Weiwei deliberately asked.


    "I''m not suspecting anyone." After saying so, Jin Dabao glanced at the well-behaved little rich guy from the corner of his eye, "Now that the money from the shop is gone, everyone is naturally suspicious. As for who stole the money, we''ll find out after searching for it."


    "Fine, so be it. I also want to see who has the guts to steal money from our Jin family''s butcher shop." Jin Weiwei agreed. At the same time, she immediately asked a villager to ask the village chief to uphold justice.


    Jin Dabao couldn''t wait for the Village Head to finish the fight quickly, so he suggested that instead of just sitting around waiting, he should search everyone for now.


    Jin Weiwei secretly laughed at Jin Dabao''s suggestion. This silly guy really intended to steal everything and catch some rich kids for himself. Who knew that the bunch of money had already been moved somewhere else?


    "Alright, you''re right. The four of us are all here. Who are you planning to search first?" Search me? " Jin Weiwei stood up and raised her hands, indicating for Jin Dabao to search.


    "No, no, you don''t need to search. This shop is our own. Isn''t this money all yours? Of course you won''t steal your own money." Jin Dabao smiled and turned to Tao Xiaoqing, "If you want to search, you have to search this kid first. He is a helper in the shop and is likely to steal money."


    Jin Weiwei gave Tao Xiaoqing a look and told him to cooperate with Jin Dabao. Thus, without saying anything further, Tao Xiaoqing obediently raised his hands, allowing Jin Dabao to touch his hands from top to bottom.


    "Nope."


    "Did you find out, did you?"


    "Yeah, he doesn''t have it on him." After Jin Dabao pretended to touch Tao Xiaoqing, he turned his head around, opened his eyes wide, pretended to be enduring the pain, and cast a suspicious gaze at Xiao Fugui.


    As a father-in-law, he had to suspect his own son-in-law. Naturally, there would be a "struggle in his heart" that he could not bear to part with.


    "This ¡­" Jin Dabao looked at Xiao Fugui as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated. He wondered if Xiao Fugui would not let him search Xiao Fugui''s body.


    Unexpectedly, Xiao Fugui replied with an indifferent attitude, "Casually search."


    "Good!" If it''s clean, then it''s clean. Don''t be afraid to search your body! "


    Hearing this, Jin Dabao didn''t hesitate any longer and walked straight to the side of Xiao Fugui. He took his outer coat and shook it vigorously, but unexpectedly, the outer coat trembled in Jin Dabao''s hand, but nothing fell out.


    Where''s the money?!


    He had obviously put the money in the pocket of little rich kid''s jacket. Why did it disappear?


    Jin Dabao didn''t give up and reached for his coat pocket again, but he searched through both pockets and couldn''t find a single copper coin.


    What was going on?


    Jin Dabao was dumbfounded as he held the empty jacket in his pocket.


    "What is it? Do you only search the little rich kid''s clothes, and not his body? " Jin Weiwei reminded him.


    How could Jin Dabao have the mood to search for the little rich kid? His mind was in a mess, he couldn''t figure out how the money in his pocket disappeared without a trace.


    It just so happened that the village chief came at this time.


    Jin Weiwei immediately took hold of the Village Head''s arm, saying with false grievance, "Village Head Grandpa, you''ve come. Now, this little thief has too much guts. He actually stole our butcher''s shop''s money in broad daylight!"


    Listening to Jin Weiwei recounting what had just happened vividly, the village chief also believed that the culprit was the culprit.


    "Since Grandpa Chief also thinks that it''s because of the traitor, then this Qian 99% should still be in the butcher''s shop. Because we''ve been busy doing business all day and no one has left." As she spoke, Jin Weiwei advocated for everyone to help search the shop from inside out.


    The village chief agreed to assign two of the more reliable villagers to help Jin Weiwei search. But this money had already been hidden in the mysterious space, where would she be able to find it? Therefore, everyone was busy for a long time. They searched thoroughly from inside out, but couldn''t find anything.

 C48

    "Village Head Grandpa, where did all my money go?!" Jin Weiwei put on a very worried look.


    "Jin family''s girl, don''t be anxious. Since the money is no longer in the butcher''s shop, it must have been taken out by someone. "Think about it carefully. Did none of you four really leave the butcher''s shop today?"


    At this moment, Tao Xiaoqing, who was at the side, suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "I remember now! Uncle Jin went out today. I was going to serve some meat to Aunt Zhang, but he insisted on snatching it!"


    "That''s right, that''s right. Today, only my father left the butcher''s shop. Could it be that this money ¡­" Jin Weiwei deliberately stopped talking halfway through her words, turning everyone''s attention towards Jin Dabao.


    "No no, this ¡­ this money definitely wasn''t taken by me ¡­" When Jin Dabao saw that everyone was looking at him in unison, he suspected that it was him who stole the money. He hastily waved his hands.


    "But today, you''re the only one who left the butcher''s shop." Tao Xiaoqing scratched his head and said, "If this money wasn''t taken out by you, did it grow wings and fly away?"


    "What do you mean? It''s really not me. I didn''t steal the money." Jin Dabao tried his best to argue.


    "Dad, how could you do that?" Jin Weiwei pretended to be in pain and said, "You didn''t take the money did you?"


    Jin Dabao stomped his feet in anxiousness. "I didn''t take that money!" If you don''t believe me, you can come search me. "


    As he said that, Jin Dabao took off his coat and patted it vigorously. After that, he opened his arms and circled around, indicating that he did not have any money on him.


    "Why would I casually carry this dirty silver with me?" I think he must have hidden it somewhere else. "


    "Why is Jin Dabao still the same as ever? He rolled up all the money in his house last year, abandoned the girl from the Jin family, and ran off with the widow. He came back this year and stole money from the shop."


    "Sigh, there''s a good saying. Dogs can''t stop eating sh * t. Jin Dabao is already used to being lazy. How could he not have any crooked thoughts while guarding the money box? "


    When Jin Dabao saw that everyone had agreed that he was the one who stole the money, he became even more anxious. "Don''t spout nonsense here, just say that I stole the money and brought out the evidence." I don''t even have a single copper coin on me. "


    "Now that things have come to this, do you still want to quibble?" Jin Weiwei pretended to be sad, she covered her mouth and said, "If you really lack money, then you can tell me, these days since you came back, I have been eating and drinking with you, you don''t have to do anything in the shop, why are you still not satisfied, and you still want to steal money from my shop?" You have truly disappointed me. "


    When everyone saw the sad and disappointed look on Jin Weiwei''s face, they felt pity for her.


    "That''s right. I saw you loitering around the store doing nothing and enjoying your life. Why did you end up stealing my daughter''s money in the end? Damn it! "


    "Someone like him is really humiliating our Xingtian Village."


    "We shouldn''t have let him come back to the village and chase him away, right?"


    Everyone began to criticize Jin Dabao.


    "You, you all ¡­ I said that I didn''t steal the money, so I didn''t steal the money! " Jin Dabao couldn''t stand the crowd''s criticism anymore, so he covered his ears and ran out.


    "Dabao, Jin Dabao, come back here." The village chief shouted for a long time, but he was still unable to call Jin Dabao back.


    When everyone saw that the ''main character'' of the performance had left, there was no point in continuing to watch. As a result, they slowly dispersed.


    "Weiwei, in the end, this matter is still a family matter for your Jin family." The village pulled Jin Weiwei aside. "Even if this Jin Dabao is not a thing anymore, he is still your biological father, right? This father and daughter pair, there''s no such thing as enmity between them. In a while, you should go and find him.


    Jin Weiwei was a bit unhappy when she heard this. This village old man had become muddle-headed. Every day, he would tell her that it was unreasonable to lower her head to others.


    "I''m not going. He stole my money. It was clearly his fault. Why did he want me to go and find him and speak kindly to him?"


    "Ahh, you''re a member of the younger generation. You still have to respect your elders." "Jin Dabao must have done something wrong in stealing the money, but as I said just now, he is your father, your elder, and the head of the Jin family. You should at least give him some face and let him regain some of the dignity of a man, right?"


    Hmph, face? Dignity?


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei found it funny. "Village Head Grandpa, all these things like face and dignity were earned for yourself, not given by others."


    Hearing those words, the Village Chief was at a loss for words. He could only sigh and say,


    "Perhaps this is the hard part of the family business. The problem between you two father and daughter should still be resolved by you two." However, it''s getting late, so I advise you to chase after your father to prevent the night from getting dark. If you were to come out and cause any trouble, wouldn''t you be adding to the trouble? "


    Seeing that the Village Head Grandpa''s face was pale, Jin Weiwei did not want to talk more with him, so she could only reluctantly nod her head.


    "En, don''t worry, Village Head Grandpa." I''ll go find my dad in a while. I won''t let him stay out the night by himself. "


    "I knew Weiwei was a good, sensible kid. "Then I''ll take my leave first. If you two have anything to say, sit down and we can have a nice chat."


    After seeing off the Village Head, Jin Weiwei told Tao Xiaoqing to pack up so that they could go home together for dinner.


    "Eh? Big sister Dong, are you not planning to go and find your father? " Tao Xiaoqing couldn''t help but ask as he packed his stuff and followed Jin Weiwei home.


    "Hmph, why are you looking for him? I wish he would die outside. " Just now, Jin Weiwei had casually agreed to the Village Head''s request. In fact, she didn''t even plan on looking for Jin Dabao.


    When the three of them were on their way, they met a villager who said, "Little girl of the Jin family, are you still looking for your father?"


    This guy was really nosy and nosy.


    Jin Weiwei silently rolled her eyes in her heart. She forced a smile from the corner of her mouth and replied:


    "That''s right. Look at my dad''s stubborn temper. He just ran away like that." The three of us have been searching this area for a long time, but we haven''t found it yet. Sigh, the sky is about to turn dark. I really don''t know where I should go to find it. "


    "You guys won''t be able to find him here. I just met your father at the village entrance." "He told me that he had been wronged and had nowhere to say it. He was just about to go to your mother''s grave and cry."

 C49

    When Jin Weiwei heard this, she immediately frowned. She really didn''t expect Jin Dabao to do this. He even ran over to her mother''s grave to act.


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei didn''t seem to have any reaction after hearing his words, the person was somewhat unwilling. He continued:


    "I see that your father is quite pitiful. Just now, on the road, he was already crying with his mucus flowing down his nose." There might be some misunderstanding between you two, but how can there be a grudge between parents and children? It''s not good to steal money, but he''s still your father after all. Don''t you think so? "


    Jin Weiwei retracted her smile and coldly said, "What do you mean, unreasonable? I''m just a little girl and I don''t understand. I only know that whoever steals the money is a thief. Not to mention he''s my dad, even if he''s the Emperor, he''s still wrong."


    The person who came saw that Jin Weiwei did not listen to what he had to say and was very firm in her attitude. He was also a bit displeased in his heart.


    "Girl, you speak like that? "Your father is currently crying his death in front of your mother''s grave. If you, as his daughter, are still filial, you can go over to your mother''s grave and persuade your father that the whole family will go back and live in harmony!"


    "There''s no need for you to worry about our Jin family. I think it''s already late, you should hurry home to eat."


    With a single sentence, Jin Weiwei drove away this busybody villager.


    Seeing how angry Jin Weiwei was, little Fugui reached out his hand to stroke her back, hoping that she would calm down.


    Jin Weiwei calmed down and turned to ask little Fugui,


    "Why do you think I''m so unlucky to have met such a shameless father? He still had the face to go to my mother''s grave and cry. "Before my mother''s body turned cold, he had found someone else to love and he had never taken care of me before. When he went to my mother''s grave to cry, wasn''t he afraid my mother''s ghost would come out to settle the score with him?"


    "I guess he must be scared. After all, he did such a shameful thing and treated his big sister like a bad thing. If his sister''s mother knew, she would definitely not let him go."


    Tao Xiaoqing, who was listening at the side, was also very angry. He deeply felt that Jin Weiwei was as pitiful as he was.


    "You''re right. If my mother knew, she would have crawled out of the coffin to fight him." As Jin Weiwei was speaking, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. "Even if my mother can''t come out from the ground to help me, we can still find a ghost to help me."


    Find a ghost to help her? What do you mean?


    When Jin Weiwei said this, Tao Xiaoqing and Xiao Fugui looked at each other, confused.


    "Let''s go, let''s go. Hurry up and go back home, we''ll disguise as ghosts." Jin Weiwei went around to the back of the little rich kid and pushed him towards home in a hurry.


    "Is this the ghost you were talking about?" Little Fugui pointed at himself in the mirror, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.


    "Un, that''s right. You are the ghost that I invited over to help. How about it? Does it look like it has the bearing of a ghost? " Jin Weiwei smiled as she threw the flour at the little rich man''s face.


    "Haha, big sister boss, do you really think that big brother Fu Gui''er''s appearance can scare people away? Why does it look so funny to me? "


    When Tao Xiaoqing, who was standing to the side, saw Xiao Fugui''s current appearance, he was already smiling from ear to ear.


    "Laugh at your head, don''t laugh." Jin Weiwei knocked on Tao Xiaoqing''s head, "How is his appearance funny? Look at his long black hair, snow-white long skirt, pale white face, and blood-red mouth. Tsk tsk tsk, he really does look like a fierce ghost. "


    Listening to Jin Weiwei''s description, little Fugui looked at himself in the mirror again. His messy hair was let loose to his waist, and his body was covered with a white cloth that was slightly yellow wherever Jin Weiwei pulled it out. His face was covered with a thick layer of red, and his mouth was covered with Jin Wei''s favorite rouge.


    "Hmm, looks like he really does look a little ¡­" What a joke!


    "I won''t do it." As he spoke, he prepared to tear off the white cloth on his body.


    "Do you dare to take it off?" Jin Weiwei grabbed the hand of the little rich guy and threatened, "If you don''t promise me to go and scare Jin Dabao like a ghost today, then I''ll cut off all ties with you, cut off all ties!"


    Xiao Fugui was surprised for a moment. Obviously, he was afraid of Jin Weiwei''s words. He pursed his lips, unnaturally turned his neck and asked, "Why did you choose me to play the part of a ghost?"


    "If you don''t, who do you want to choose? Little Qing is still just a kid, and is so skinny that if he is asked to play the part of a ghost, not only would he not be scared of Jin Dabao, he might even get beaten up if he is caught red-handed. "


    "Little Qing can''t do it. Don''t we still have you? "You''re so fierce ¡­" Jin Weiwei glared at little Fugui who had a wronged look on his face and swallowed his words back.


    "So what if I''m fierce? Being a ghost doesn''t allow you to yell and scream, and can only fight with people. Furthermore, since it''s a ghost, of the three of us, you are the only one who knows martial arts, so it''s best if you do it. " Without further ado, Qin Ling continued to use the flour to mend the makeup on little rich and wealthy child''s neck.


    After tossing and turning for a while, Qin Ling was finally satisfied with the disguise of little rich kid. He turned him around on the spot and asked Tao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, how about you take a look at it now? Is it frightening enough? "


    Tao Xiaoqing walked up to Xiao Fugui and looked at him from head to toe with extreme seriousness. He held back his laughter and said:


    "Mm, now that I look carefully, I see that Brother Fugui really does look like a beautiful ghost girl." Mm, now that I look carefully, I see that Brother Fugui looks like a beautiful ghost girl.


    Pfft!


    Hearing Tao Xiaoqing''s words, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but cover her mouth and laugh.


    Xiao Fugui stood foolishly in front of the mirror, looking at the other two people looking at him with wide smiles on their faces, he was really embarrassed, "If you guys keep laughing, I won''t be going."


    "Alright, alright, alright. We won''t laugh." Jin Weiwei quickly put away her smile and patted Tao Xiaoqing to signal him not to laugh too.


    "Since you are all prepared, let us set off now. We''ll act when we get to the cemetery. "


    Jin Dabao sat alone in front of Jin Weiwei''s mother''s grave for a long time.


    When he was on the way here, he had deliberately cried and complained to others, saying that he was coming to this cemetery to speak to Jin Weiwei''s mother about his grievances. The reason was to let Jin Weiwei know as soon as possible where he had run to so that she could come and find him.


    However, it was unknown whether those people didn''t send the message or if Jin Weiwei didn''t want to come. Jin Dabao waited from the sun to the willow branch on the moon, but he still didn''t see a single trace of Jin Weiwei.


    What should he do?


    Jin Dabao was sitting alone in the cemetery, and for some reason, he felt a chill on his back.

 C50

    "Weiwei''s mom, I don''t know how you''ve been doing over there all these years." "Anyway, I''m not good. Weiwei has grown up now, and her wings are hard. She''s not as filial to me as she was when she was young." Jin Dabao muttered to himself, "But no matter what, the surname of this Jin family''s meat shop is Jin, so it should be mine. Let alone that I really didn''t steal the money, even if I took all the money out of the box, isn''t that also a matter that should be taken for granted?"


    When Jin Weiwei led the little rich kid and Tao Xiaoqing to the cemetery, they saw Jin Dabao sitting alone on Jin Weiwei''s mother''s grave, complaining.


    Hmph, to think he could even say such words. If her mother really could hear, Jin Weiwei wouldn''t have believed that her mother wouldn''t have come out from the ground to fight for Jin Dabao.


    "I''ll go over later to distract him, so you can find a chance to hide behind my mother''s grave first. After I give you my instructions, when I let you out, you''ll float out from behind the grave, do you understand?"


    Xiao Fugui unwillingly nodded his head.


    "Then what about me, Big Sister Dong, what should I do?" On the other hand, Tao Xiaoqing, who came with them, appeared extremely excited. He knew that he was about to see a good show.


    "You, hide here and don''t come out. When your rich brother comes out as a ghost to scare you, you should add some sound effects to his voice to pacify the atmosphere." Jin Weiwei said with a smile.


    "What do you mean by voice effect?" Tao Xiaoqing stretched out his hand to scratch his head, completely unable to understand the meaning of this phrase.


    "Uh, this voice effect means that you should learn the female voice and shout at the top of your lungs. Do you know how to do it?"


    "I know, I know how to pretend to be a woman the most." Tao Xiaoqing immediately pinched his throat and said in a high-pitched voice, "Give me back my life."


    When Jin Weiwei heard this, Tao Xiaoqing''s learned just like that. She happily made an OK gesture with her hand, and the other two immediately understood. They also made OK gestures, indicating that everything was ready.


    "Cough cough, daddy, you''re really here. It''s really easy to find a daughter like me." Jin Weiwei strode over to Jin Dabao.


    Thank God, Jin Weiwei had finally found her way here.


    When Jin Dabao saw her, he felt as if a huge stone in his heart had fallen to the ground. He had been worrying about what would happen if Jin Weiwei didn''t come. Could it be that he could spend the night in this cemetery? But if he left first and this Jin Weiwei came here without finding him, wouldn''t it be even worse?


    "What are you doing here? I was having a good chat with your mother here. " Jin Dabao wiped away his tears and said, "I already said that I should protect myself from old people. I think I will have raised your daughter for nothing. I might as well die with your mother. Otherwise, her daughter will accuse me of stealing money at this age ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei harrumphed coldly in her heart. It seemed like this guy was addicted to acting. There were only the two of them in this cemetery, yet he still had the nerve to shamelessly complain to her.


    "I really want to hear what you and my mother are talking about here." As she spoke, Jin Weiwei walked to her mother''s grave and knelt down before the tombstone. She kowtowed three times in a serious manner.


    "Mother, your daughter is unfilial. She hasn''t come to see you in some days. It''s all because our daughter has been troubled by a vile character recently, so she couldn''t find the time to do so. I hope that mother does not blame us. "


    After saying that, Jin Weiwei stood up and dusted off the dust on her skirt. Then she slowly walked in front of Jin Dabao and stared at him without saying a word.


    Being stared at by her, Jin Dabao felt a little scared. He raised his hand to touch his own face and asked, "Stupid girl, why are you staring at me all the time? I don''t have any flowers on my face. "


    "Hmph, stop being so smug. I see that it''s not because there''s flowers on your face, but because I want to see how thick-skinned you really are that you shamelessly came to the grave of a dead person to act out your act. "


    "Damned girl, I think your skin is still itchy and needs a beating!" When Jin Dabao saw that Jin Weiwei had come alone and did not have the little rich girl with her, his courage immediately increased.


    "Aiyo, hearing you say this, you want to hit me again, don''t you? Do you think I''m still the same Jin Weiwei who let you hit me without retaliating? If you have the guts, come and try me! " As she spoke, Jin Weiwei rolled up the sleeves of her arms.


    "You stinking girl, you really are going to overturn the sky. Let''s see if I''ll beat you to death or not!" When Jin Dabao saw that Jin Weiwei dared to provoke him, he immediately got angry and bent down to take off his shoes to hit her.


    "Come on, if you have the guts, come over." Jin Weiwei shouted as she moved back while holding her skirt. At the same time, she glanced at where Tao Xiaoqing and Xiao Fugui were hiding, indicating for them to act quickly.


    "If you have the ability, then don''t run." Jin Dabao''s foot injury from the last twist was not yet completely healed, and now he was still limping as he chased after him.


    When Jin Dabao went to chase Jin Weiwei and didn''t have the energy to pay attention to his surroundings, little Fugui took advantage of Jin Dabao''s time to catch up with Jin Weiwei, stood up and jumped behind Jin Weiwei''s mother''s grave with a ''whoosh'' sound.


    "What a handsome martial arts." Tao Xiaoqing was dumbstruck. Although he knew that Xiao Fugui was skilled in martial arts, he had never expected him to be so skilled. He was just like those martial arts experts mentioned by the storyteller. Thus, Tao Xiaoqing''s heart suddenly felt a sense of worship towards little Fugui.


    When Jin Weiwei saw that little Fugui and Tao Xiaoqing had already taken their positions, she no longer wanted to circle around Jin Dabao.


    She suddenly stopped in her tracks and stood still.


    "You damn girl, if you have the ability, run away." Jin Dabao finally caught up to Jin Weiwei. Just as he was about to slap her with the sole of his shoe, he found that there was something wrong with her.


    Not only did she stand there motionless, but there was also a terrified expression on her face. Her originally lively eyes were now as wide as copper bells, as if she had seen something especially terrifying.


    Jin Dabao put down his shoes and waved his fingers in front of her face. He asked curiously, "Damn girl, what''s wrong with you?"


    Jin Weiwei didn''t answer Jin Dabao''s question. Her eyes were still filled with fear as she looked in the direction of her mother''s grave. She slowly raised a hand, pointed at the back of the grave, and said with a trembling voice:


    "Then... What is that? "


    Jin Dabao couldn''t help but look back along with Jin Weiwei''s finger.


    Jin Dabao didn''t look worried at all. It was as if he was struck by lightning. He stood rooted to the ground with a stiff body, unable to move at all.


    Under the hazy moonlight, he saw a female ghost with disheveled hair slowly crawling out from Jin Weiwei''s mother''s grave.


    "Mother, is that you? Is that you? " Jin Weiwei suddenly raised her voice and shouted.

 C51

    "Her voice seemed to have attracted the ghost girl''s attention." She ''stood up shakily. Her wide clothes were empty, as if there was no body underneath. She first swayed left and right as if she was looking for something, then suddenly turned her head towards Jin Dabao, floating towards him.


    Jin Dabao widened his eyes as he watched the ''ghost girl'' floating in front of him. He didn''t know why, but it was as if his feet were nailed to the ground, causing him to be unable to move a single step.


    "Mother, this is my mother." Jin Weiwei deliberately hid behind Jin Dabao and whispered into his neck.


    "Weiwei''s mom, you ¡­" "Don''t act recklessly." Jin Dabao was so scared that he started to tremble uncontrollably.


    However, this "ghost girl" clearly didn''t want to listen to him. After "her" circled around Jin Dabao, she suddenly stopped in front of him.


    At this time, Tao Xiaoqing began to imitate the ghost and shouted, "Jin Dabao, why are you bullying Weiwei ¡­ "Give me your life."


    In front of him was a deathly pale face, with a blood-red mouth, and behind that was the gloomy and eerie cry of a ghost girl. All of this had already reached the limit of what Jin Dabao could bear.


    "Ghost!" Jin Dabao suddenly burst out in anger and ran in a panic. After falling down twice, he didn''t dare to stop and just stumbled all the way out of the cemetery.


    "Hahahahaha ¡­" Seeing Jin Dabao run away in such a sorry state, Jin Weiwei and the other two couldn''t help but burst out laughing.


    "Little Fugui, a ghost girl like you is really vivid. As I see it, the Oscar for the movie star is yours." Jin Weiwei rubbed her sore stomach and said while laughing.


    An Oscar for the film emperors?


    Little Fugui had never heard of this term before. Could it be that this was a special name that was unique to Xingtian Village? He turned to look at Tao Xiaoqing, only to see Tao Xiaoqing''s hands spread out and his head tilted, as if he was saying that he didn''t know either.


    Seeing the two of them at a loss, Jin Weiwei didn''t know how to explain, so she just said, "The meaning of this word is that your acting is really good, really good. Alright, since the ghost has finished his performance and he has run away in fright, we should return home now. "


    "Eh? Why is there still a pool of water on the ground? " Tao Xiaoqing raised his foot and looked at the ground. He had stepped into a pool of water.


    "Urine." Little Fugui pinched his nose as he spoke.


    "Urinate?" "What?" Jin Weiwei was surprised for a moment, then immediately understood that the puddle of urine on the ground belonged to Jin Dabao. He was actually scared to the point of peeing his pants? "


    The little rich kid nodded and pulled Jin Weiwei around the pile of piss.


    "Haha, I didn''t expect Jin Dabao to be so timid, he actually peed his pants." Jin Weiwei clapped happily. "I''m so happy tonight."


    When Jin Weiwei and the other two were helping the rich kids clean up, changing clothes, and returning to the Jin family''s small courtyard, Jin Dabao had already gone to sleep in the woodshed by himself.


    "Heh, I thought this guy was scared half to death just now and would definitely not be able to fall asleep tonight. Why did he fall asleep like a dead pig in such a short time?" Jin Weiwei and little Fugui stood at the door of the firewood house, watching Jin Dabao curled up on top of the bed, as if he was sleeping soundly.


    The little rich kid didn''t say anything and just hugged Jin Weiwei''s shoulder, wanting to take her back to her room to rest.


    However, no one expected that Jin Dabao would start spouting nonsense the moment their feet left the ground.


    "Weiwei''s mom, it''s all my fault ¡­ "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, Weiwei ¡­"


    When Jin Weiwei heard Jin Dabao mention her, she immediately stopped and softly said to little Fugui, "Listen to him before you go."


    The little rich kid nodded in agreement, and the two of them tiptoed over to Jin Dabao, crouched down, and listened to him talk in his sleep.


    "I shouldn''t have been greedy and taken Weiwei''s dowry ¡­ "I won''t bully her anymore ¡­"


    "Go, go, stop bothering me. When I''m free, I''ll definitely go to the temple and burn incense for you ¡­" Buddha, please bless your early reincarnation into a good family ¡­ "


    Jin Weiwei''s dowry?


    Hearing this, the little rich kid immediately glanced at Jin Weiwei. He had never heard her mention that he had a dowry. It had to be said that on the day of their wedding, there was nothing special about it. The wedding was rather simple and crude.


    Jin Weiwei herself was confused as well. The original owner''s memories had indeed never mentioned anything about dowry.


    Jin Dabao''s voice got lower and lower as he dreamt. In the end, he could no longer hear clearly.


    Thus, Jin Weiwei and little Fugui quietly got up and slipped out of the woodshed without anyone noticing.


    After returning to the room, Jin Weiwei lay on the bed, tossing and turning, but she couldn''t fall asleep. Jin Dabao''s words of "Weiwei''s dowry" really made her heart itch.


    If the original owner''s mother had left her a large dowry, how could the original owner not know about it? So where is the dowry now? From Jin Dabao''s tone, it seemed that these things had long since fallen into his hands. Could it be that he had squandered them all?


    As Jin Weiwei was thinking, she suddenly sat up on the bed.


    In the past, when the original owner celebrated his birthday, Jin Dabao would take her to the All An Temple, not far from Xingtian Village, to burn incense. Every time he returned, Jin Dabao would suddenly become extremely rich and spend lavishly.


    The last time, last year, before Jin Dabao and Widow Chen had eloped, was her birthday. After Jin Dabao took her to the All An Temple to burn incense, he had obtained a large sum of money out of thin air.


    From the looks of it, his dowry must have something to do with Jin Dabao getting this money out of thin air. Why did Jin Dabao become so rich every time he went to the temple to burn incense after his birthday?


    Jin Weiwei pondered over and over again, but still couldn''t figure out what was going on, because the original owner''s memories didn''t have enough information about this.


    The original Jin Weiwei was really a silly girl. She didn''t care about money at all.


    When she thought of money, Jin Weiwei suddenly remembered that she hid a bunch of money in the mysterious space today. She wondered if it would be different if she put it in there, or if she could take it out as soon as possible and leave it by her side.


    Thinking of this, Jin Weiwei rolled over and sat up on the bed. After chanting an incantation, the mysterious door appeared. She pushed the door open and walked directly into the room.


    Once inside, it didn''t matter. Jin Weiwei astonishingly discovered that not far from the door, there grew out of thin air an additional half a year old pomegranate tree.


    Eh? How could a pomegranate tree suddenly appear here? She clearly remembered that when she entered the space today to save money, besides grass, there was nothing else in the space.

 C52

    Jin Weiwei suddenly remembered that she had seen a pomegranate leaf stuck on her sleeve when she was depositing the money. She didn''t think too much about it at that time and just casually knocked it out.


    Could it be that this tree was grown from a piece of pomegranate leaf that he brushed off today?


    This was too amazing!


    Jin Weiwei looked around the pomegranate tree once, then reached out and touched the trunk of the tree. He really didn''t expect that a tree could grow in this mysterious space with just a leaf. Moreover, this tree was growing at an alarming rate. From the time he had come to save money until now, it had only been a few hours and the pomegranate had already grown to the height of a man.


    Jin Weiwei roughly calculated the growth cycle of the pomegranate tree. If it continued to grow at this rate, then wouldn''t the pomegranate tree blossom and bear fruit after another 24 hours?


    While picking up the money, Jin Weiwei secretly decided that she would come in again at this time tomorrow to see what was going on.


    "Dong, dong, dong!" "Dong, dong, dong!"


    As soon as Jin Weiwei came out of the mysterious space, she heard a series of knocks on the door.


    "Who is it?" Jin Weiwei quickly turned her head to confirm that the mysterious space had completely disappeared. Then, she ran over to open the door.


    As soon as the door was opened, the little rich kid gently pushed open Jin Weiwei and went straight into the house. He looked around as if he was looking for something.


    "Eh? I was wondering what happened to you today, why did you barge into my room directly? " As she spoke, Jin Weiwei grabbed little Fugui.


    "I heard movement in your room. What are you doing so late at night?" Little Fugui looked at Jin Weiwei with suspicion.


    Jin Weiwei knew that if she didn''t come up with an excuse, little Fugui might not leave so easily. She reached into her pocket, took out the money from today and said, "Oh, I''m here to hide my money. This room is too small, I searched for a long time but still didn''t know where to hide it."


    The little rich kid didn''t seem to believe Jin Weiwei''s claim to have hidden money. His eyes were still carefully observing every corner of the room.


    "By the way, where did you hide the money this afternoon?"


    "Of course, it was hidden on my body. Otherwise, how could I not be able to find it after everyone searched for so long?"


    "You hid the money on yourself?" The little rich kid suspiciously stared at Jin Weiwei. This string of money wasn''t a small amount. If Jin Weiwei had been carrying him all this time, with his eyesight, how could he not see any trace of it?


    "That''s right. I wandered around in the backyard for a long time, unable to find a suitable place to hide my money, so I hid it on my body. "Because I think the most dangerous place is the safest place. No matter what, Jin Dabao would never think of coming to search me."


    After hearing Jin Weiwei''s explanation, little Fugui didn''t seem to have completely put down his doubts. However, seeing that he still didn''t intend to leave the room, Jin Wei Wei was afraid that he would make more mistakes, so she quickly changed the topic.


    "You won''t be able to take all this money out in the future. It''s inconvenient for me to take it. How about I give it to you? You should also save some of your own personal money."


    Jin Weiwei stuffed the money into the little rich man''s arms, hoping to distract his attention and stop asking questions.


    Xiao Fugui held the money in his hand and weighed it in his hand. He looked at Jin Weiwei, and finally didn''t say anything. He put the money into his pocket, turned around, and left her room.


    The next morning, Jin Weiwei saw that Jin Dabao had not woken up to eat breakfast, so she sent Tao Xiaoqing to call him. Who knew that after Tao Xiaoqing went to take a look, he immediately ran back to Jin Weiwei to tell her that Jin Dabao seemed to be sick. Furthermore, he seemed to be quite ill.


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but frown.


    Was this old man so incapable of bearing the fear? But a ghost actually scared him out of his wits? Could it be that he was faking illness again and was trying to play some sort of trick with her?


    Jin Weiwei put down her breakfast and said, "Come, let''s go take a look. I want to see if he''s really sick or if he''s still playing with me."


    Tao Xiaoqing and Jin Weiwei arrived at the woodshed one after another. When they opened the door, they saw Jin Dabao tightly curled up in a corner of the woodshed. His face was ashen, and his eyes were tightly shut.


    "What happened to you?" Jin Weiwei asked.


    Jin Dabao shook his head in pain, as if he was too weak to talk anymore.


    Seeing him like this, Jin Weiwei guessed that he couldn''t pretend to be real, and guessed that he was really sick. Thus, she could only walk in front of him and carefully ask, "Where are you feeling uncomfortable?"


    "So cold." Jin Dabao squeezed out two words from his teeth, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito''s.


    So cold? Did he have a fever?


    Jin Weiwei reached out a hand towards Jin Dabao''s forehead.


    Oh my god, this temperature is so hot!


    Jin Weiwei retracted her hand and confirmed that Jin Dabao was having a very high fever right now.


    Looking at Jin Dabao softly moaning in his nest, Tao Xiaoqing, who was behind Jin Weiwei, could not help but ask, "Big sister, is he really sick?"


    "Yeah, it seems like he''s really sick this time." Jin Weiwei stood up and walked out of the room.


    "He seems to be in some pain. Should we get a doctor to look after him?" When Tao Xiaoqing saw Jin Weiwei heading out, he quickly followed her outside.


    Jin Weiwei took a look at Jin Dabao, hesitated for a moment and said, "It''s just that I got a little scared yesterday. Maybe I''ll break out in a sweat." I don''t have that much money to spare to get him a doctor. Let him fend for himself in the woodshed.


    Hearing Jin Weiwei say that Jin Dabao would perish alone in the woodshed, Tao Xiaoqing didn''t ask any further and lightly closed the door.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already noon. Although Jin Weiwei had said that she would let Jin Dabao live by himself in the woodshed, she still couldn''t let it go.


    "He''s unconscious." Xiao Fugui''s son probed Jin Dabao''s breathing and confirmed that he was still alive.


    "Coma? "Ha, why is Jin Dabao so weak, he could burn away a fever." Jin Weiwei nudged Jin Dabao with her toes and asked, "He can''t be faking it, right?"


    Xiao Fugui opened Jin Dabao''s eyelids and looked again, "It''s not for show."


    "Well, even if he''s not faking it, I don''t want to bother with him. It just so happens that I can let him have a taste of being sick, lonely and helpless, with no one caring about the feeling of having no one to ask. " Jin Weiwei gritted her teeth and said.


    Seeing Jin Weiwei clenching her fists, a faint sense of despair and pain appeared in little Fugui''s eyes. He knew that she must have been reminded of the mistreatment she suffered as a child in this woodshed.


    Xiao Fugui silently reached out his hand and wrapped Jin Weiwei''s fist with his palm.


    Jin Weiwei felt the concern in the little rich kid''s heart and smiled faintly. "I''m fine. "Will he die?"


    "If you don''t, you will die." Little Fugui looked at Jin Weiwei, waiting for her to make a decision.

 C53

    Jin Weiwei lowered her head and thought to herself: "If Jin Dabao died just like that, it would be too easy for him. I might as well find a random doctor and let him live, and I''ll torture him slowly in the future."


    "Go get a doctor, don''t ask for expensive ones, just find a random wild doctor by the roadside." After Jin Weiwei finished her sentence, she was still a bit depressed. She kicked Jin Dabao''s leg and said, "I still have to spend money on you. It''s really not worth it."


    Jin Dabao''s illness looked very aggressive, but in fact, it was just as Jin Weiwei had thought. It was caused by shock. Therefore, although little Fugui did as Jin Weiwei said and hired an ordinary doctor, once the medicine was given, Jin Dabao''s fever subsided. With two portions of medicine, Jin Dabao''s illness would basically be fine.


    After a day of drowsiness, his waist and back were aching. Just as he was about to get up and stretch, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside. It sounded like Qin Ling and Xiao Fugui were walking towards him.


    Jin Dabao remembered the incident with the ghost girl in front of Jin Weiwei''s mother''s grave two days ago. He still had some lingering fear and didn''t know how to face Jin Weiwei, as he was afraid that she would ask about what had happened that day.


    Sure enough, the moment Jin Dabao lay down and closed his eyes, Jin Weiwei and little Fugui pushed open the door and entered.


    "Why isn''t he awake yet? Didn''t you already have a fever after taking the medicine yesterday? " Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but ask when she saw Jin Dabao was still unconscious.


    Xiao Fugui shook his head and replied in an uncertain tone, "Maybe he''ll wake up soon."


    "I really want to ask him when he wakes up. Why is he so scared of ghosts?" Jin Weiwei felt that there was something fishy about all this.


    "Oh right, my birthday is coming up in two days. In the past, it was him who would take me to the All An Temple to burn incense and pray, but this year, I want you to accompany me to the temple to burn incense and burn incense, okay? "


    Jin Weiwei looked at the little rich man eagerly. Although they weren''t husband and wife, she had long since taken him to be her true husband. Therefore, on her birthday, she wished that he could accompany her to burn incense and pray in the temple.


    Xiao Fugui didn''t say anything, he only nodded his head lightly in agreement.


    Jin Weiwei wasn''t too happy with his attitude, so she took his hand and said coquettishly, "After I burn the incense, I still need to go to the county town to buy some things. Will you come with me?"


    "Alright."


    Finally hearing little rich son''s affirmative answer, Jin Weiwei beamed with joy. She pulled little rich son along and left.


    Jin Dabao closed his eyes to pretend for a while. Only when there was no more movement and he was sure that the two had really left did he dare to roll over and open his eyes.


    Life was really fast, he almost forgot that in two days, it would be Jin Weiwei''s birthday. This time of year had always been the day he had been looking forward to the most.


    No matter what, the day after tomorrow, he must secretly follow behind Jin Weiwei to burn incense at the All An Temple. He should also take a look at those things and see if there was anything else ¡­


    Today was Jin Weiwei''s birthday, so she got up early in the morning and put on her favorite peach-colored clothes. After carefully dressing up, she exhorted Tao Xiaoqing to take care of the family and then led him out the door.


    Along the way, Jin Weiwei''s mood was exceptionally good.


    "Why does the temple burn incense every year on your birthday?" Little Fugui asked.


    "I don''t know either. In any case, Jin Dabao used to bring me here to burn incense. I don''t know why, but I feel that there''s something strange about it." Jin Weiwei said as she fiddled with the dogtail grass in her hand.


    "Strange?" Little Fugui didn''t understand.


    "Right, weird." "You have to know that Jin Dabao would always look down on me as a drag and see me as a thorn in the side. But every year when it comes to my birthday, he would suddenly treat me like a different person and treat me extremely well. Not only did he bring me to the temple to burn incense, but he would also buy me candied fruits to eat."


    "Also, every time we burn incense and go home, he seems to suddenly become very rich and start wasting money."


    "Oh? "There''s actually such a thing?" When Xiao Fugui heard this, curiosity jumped out of his heart.


    "Yes, that''s why I said this incense is a little strange. When we get to the All An Temple, we need to check it out. "


    While they were talking, they arrived at the All An Temple.


    This All An Temple was not big, nor was it small. It happened to be located between Xingtian Village and the county city on the Northern Faction Mountain. The place was covered in beautiful trees and was filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers.


    Today was just an ordinary day, so not many people came to the temple to serve incense. Jin Weiwei brought little rich kids to buy incense. After bowing to the Bodhisattva, the two of them walked around the hall a couple of times. Looking at the pilgrims coming and going, they didn''t find anything special.


    "Think about it again. In the past, when your father brought you here, what did he do? Who did he meet? What did he say?" Little Fugui reminded.


    "Right, there''s still the candied fruits!"


    Jin Weiwei remembered that every year after the incense was burned, Jin Dabao would specifically go out to buy her a bunch of candied fruits, and then ask her to stand by a large water jar not far from the entrance of the hall and wait for him.


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Fugui immediately ran out to buy a bunch of candied fruits.


    Jin Weiwei once again stood beside the water tank while holding the candied fruits, just like she always did.


    However, just as she was about to bite down on a candied fruit, a fat monk suddenly walked over from not too far away.


    This fat monk was extraordinary. He was so fat that he didn''t look like he could walk anymore. However, he was light in his steps and soon arrived in front of Jin Weiwei.


    "Amitabha, I think this female benefactor is pretty friendly. We should be fated for one another, so why don''t you take a look at your own marriage?"


    Jin Weiwei hastily swallowed the candied fruits in her mouth, patted the wealthy child beside her and said, "Didn''t you see that I have such a handsome husband standing by my side? Do you really think I need to count it as marriage?"


    The fat monk looked around and asked, "That female benefactor, did your family come with you today?"


    Why did this fat monk ask this for no reason?


    Jin Weiwei somewhat impatiently asked, "You are such a strange person. Isn''t my husband my family?"


    The fat monk paused for a moment, then asked: "Then may I ask where is your father, female benefactor? Why didn''t he come with you today? Is he dead? "

 C54

    Hearing this question, Jin Weiwei became more and more confused. Now that she directly asked about Jin Dabao, she guessed that there must be a connection between the two of them.


    "Why do you ask him?" Jin Weiwei replied snappily, "For someone like him, not dying is more or less the same as dying."


    The fat monk choked on Jin Weiwei''s words and then burst out laughing, "You''re right, it''s better if someone like him didn''t die."


    After saying that, he circled around Jin Weiwei, going up and down, carefully examining her again. He touched his fleshy head and said:


    "I haven''t seen you in a year. You''re not fat nor skinny, and you still look the same as before. But why do I feel like you''ve become a completely different person?"


    "You know me?" When Jin Weiwei heard the fat monk''s words, she was extremely puzzled. Logically speaking, this fat monk should have such a prominent image. If she had seen him before, she would never forget it even if she was beaten to death.


    The fat monk didn''t reply to Jin Weiwei''s words. Instead, he suddenly made a move and fiercely flicked Jin Weiwei''s forehead.


    "Aiyo!" You fat, fat, bald donkey, are you sick!? "


    The amount of strength that the fat monk used to crack his brain was not small. Jin Weiwei could not help but cry out in pain.


    "Tsk, tsk, tsk. It''s really different. He''s actually scolding people!" It seems like your silly disease has been cured. " The fat monk smiled even more happily. His originally not very big eyes squinted into a smile at this moment, almost to the point where he couldn''t see anything anymore.


    "Not only will I curse people, I''ll even hit them. I''ll even beat a crazy fat bald donkey like you!"


    Jin Weiwei waved her fist in anger, as if she was prepared to give him a good beating.


    Who knew that not only was the fat monk not afraid, he even walked up to Jin Weiwei, grabbed her arm, and loudly said, "Since you have no problems with your brain now and you don''t want to be a fool, that thing should naturally be in your hands!"


    "Hey hey hey hey, why are you grabbing onto me? Let go of me. Little Fugui, help me quickly!" The fat monk grabbed Jin Weiwei''s arm, but she couldn''t break free no matter how hard she tried.


    Actually, the little rich kid who had been standing on the side and watching coldly also felt that this fat monk was very strange. The words he said didn''t seem to make any sense, they were in complete chaos, and he had a crazy look about him, but he was sure of one thing, that this fat monk had no ill intentions towards Jin Weiwei and also seemed to know some secrets related to her, so he didn''t want to interfere and just waited to see what would happen.


    "Just follow me." The fat monk held onto Jin Weiwei tightly and dragged her away without saying a word.


    "Where are you bringing me to? "Slow down, slow down." Jin Weiwei had no choice but to let him pull her towards the back of the mountain.


    Seeing that, Xiao Fugui followed closely behind the two of them, and the three of them left the temple together.


    Soon, the three of them arrived at the back mountain of the temple. Here, there was a lush and verdant grove. The fat monk pulled Jin Weiwei and walked left and right through the woods. Soon, they entered the depths of the forest.


    "Eh? That person seems to be Jin Dabao. " Jin Weiwei suddenly saw a man standing in front of a pine tree not too far away. From the back of the man, he seemed to be her disliked father, Jin Dabao.


    Why did he come here?


    Before Jin Weiwei could react, she saw the fat monk beside her jump up with a ''whoosh''. His originally fat and clumsy body was now as light as a feather, and with a leap, he landed behind Jin Dabao without a sound. Then, he raised his hand and gently waved it, striking Jin Dabao right in the back of his neck.


    Jin Dabao wasn''t aware of it at all, and his body suddenly softened and fell to the ground like a pile of mud.


    "Wow, this fat monk really has some skill." Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but exclaim in admiration. She really couldn''t imagine that this "round ball" was actually a martial arts master.


    When Xiao Fugui saw the fat monk display this movement art, he was also quite surprised. From the look of his fat body, Xiao Fugui thought he was just a sloppy monk. He really thought that this fat monk was actually a hidden expert. Just by looking at his movement technique, he knew that he was no match for him.


    What was such a martial arts expert, Lajin Weiwei, doing in the wilderness?


    Thinking of this, the little rich kid couldn''t help but raise his vigilance, quietly approaching Jin Weiwei, closing the distance between the two of them.


    By the time the two of them reached the pine tree, the fat monk had already dragged Jin Dabao to the side as he thought Jin Dabao was in the way.


    "Well, these are yours." The fat monk said as he saw Jin Weiwei walk over, pointing to a place under the pine tree that had already been dug open.


    What is it?


    Jin Weiwei followed the fat monk''s hand and looked over, and was immediately dumbfounded.


    He saw a rusted metal box beside a pile of silver neatly arranged in the hollow of the tree. The box was probably opened by Jin Dabao, and inside it was a thick stack of banknotes.


    How was this a tree hole? This was a treasure pot!


    Jin Weiwei was excited as she looked at the large sum of money. "What did you just say?" These are all mine? "


    "That''s right, the silver and banknotes here should be worth a thousand taels of silver. All of this money is yours now." As the fat monk said this, he bent down and took out the silver notes from the box. After gently brushing off the leaves on the leaves, he handed them to Jin Weiwei.


    "You''re giving all this money to me?!" Jin Weiwei''s face was filled with disbelief. She had actually run into such a good opportunity.


    But as surprised as he was, Jin Weiwei was still a fool not to take the money. She took the banknotes from the fat monk without hesitation.


    "You should keep these banknotes well. Also, tell your husband to help you move them back." The fat monk glanced at Xiao Fugui with a trace of a smile in his eyes.


    "Alright, alright, alright. Don''t worry, I''ll definitely keep this silver as well." At this moment, Jin Weiwei was overjoyed. She counted the banknotes in her hand, and found that there were at least 600 taels of silver. Looking at the rest of the white silver in the tree hole, it seemed that the fat monk did not extort her the amount of one thousand taels.


    "Ai, you talk about yourself. If your idiotic illness could have recovered two years earlier, you wouldn''t have let this bastard scam you for so much money." The fat monk looked at Jin Weiwei as she counted the banknotes. With her eyes shining brightly, he could not help but sigh. "What a pity. What a pity."


    What did that mean? She was cheated out of her money?


    When Jin Weiwei heard this, she immediately became highly sensitive and asked, "Hey, ball, what do you mean I''ve been cheated?"


    A round ball?


    Hearing Jin Weiwei call him like this, the fat monk first opened his eyes wide, then immediately burst out laughing, "A round ball? Haha, interesting, interesting. This form of address is truly very interesting. "

 C55

    Hearing this, Xiao Fugui also laughed involuntarily. Only a naughty girl like Jin Weiwei could think of such a nickname, but it was really fitting. This fat monk really did look like a round ball.


    "What are you laughing about?" Jin Weiwei didn''t care if it was funny or not. What she was more concerned about was her money. "Tell me quickly, how did my money get cheated?"


    The fat monk rubbed his head, pointed at Jin Dabao who was unconscious on the ground and said, "Isn''t it just you, father, who smuggled all the silver you dug out last year away? "I don''t think he left you a single silver tael."


    The silver from last year?


    The more Jin Weiwei heard, the more confused she became. From what the fat monk said, the money in the tree pit wasn''t the first money that was dug out. There used to be similar money, and it should all belong to her.


    "Where did you get all this silver?" Who gave it to me? " Jin Weiwei had doubts in her heart and could not help but ask.


    The fat monk smiled and did not answer Jin Weiwei''s question. Instead, he praised the Amitabha Buddha before turning around and flying away.


    "You still haven''t answered my question, come back quickly."


    Jin Weiwei saw the fat monk flash a few times before her eyes and disappear. She stomped her feet in anxiety, and then looked at the little rich man standing beside her with an indifferent expression, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.


    "Why are you still standing there like a piece of wood? Hurry up and go chase that fat monk back to me." Jin Weiwei twisted his arm.


    Xiao Fugui frowned from the pain, "His qinggong is so powerful, I can''t catch up."


    "Hmph, I usually see you as someone very powerful, but I never thought that you would be terrified at such a crucial moment." Jin Weiwei pursed her lips.


    In fact, she could see that this fat monk was definitely not an ordinary person. Ordinary people definitely wouldn''t be able to catch up to him, but she could only watch helplessly as he left in such a sorry state.


    "What do we do now?" Jin Weiwei asked with a thick stack of banknotes in her hand, her face full of shock.


    "The silver notes are taken away, the silver is transferred and hidden elsewhere."


    The little rich kid decisively took out all the silver from the tree hole and then ran to another cypress tree not far away to dig a hole and bury the money inside it.


    "Should I mark them? No matter how I look at them, these trees look exactly the same." Jin Weiwei looked left and right, feeling that the surrounding trees were about the same. She was afraid that she wouldn''t be able to find this tree the next time she came here.


    Hearing her words, the child shook his head helplessly. "I remember that it was fine."


    "What''s the use of you remembering? What if I pick it up myself?" It wasn''t that she didn''t trust little rich boy, but that she didn''t know of such a large sum of money being buried here. It was one thing, but now that she knew, she would inevitably worry about it.


    The little rich kid could not stand her at all. He saw a small tree that was as thick as a bowl''s mouth right next to the cypress tree. He walked over and with just three palm strikes, broke the tree.


    Jin Weiwei looked at the broken branches of the tree and memorized what had happened.


    "Why isn''t he awake yet?" Jin Weiwei kicked the unconscious Jin Dabao on the ground.


    Xiao Fugui stepped forward and checked, "I think we''ll have to wait for a while."


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but roll her eyes. She didn''t have the patience to wait here, but she didn''t want to leave Jin Dabao here alone to avoid any problems. After all, she still had four hundred taels of silver buried here.


    "Why don''t we first go back to the temple and find out what kind of background that fat monk has?"


    If Jin Weiwei wanted to wait here, she might as well use this time to get some information.


    The two of them quickly returned to the All An Temple. However, when they looked around, all the monks in the temple were as thin as firewood. There was no sign of the fat monk at all.


    "Hello, young master, please wait a moment." Jin Weiwei was unwilling to give up. She grabbed a little Shamei who was cleaning the Buddhist temple and asked, "Do you guys have a fat monk with big ears? His face is round, and his belly is bulging. He looks like a round ball."


    Hearing that, little Shame was confused, he shook his head and said, "Woman, please don''t joke, we monks of the All An Temple strictly follow the rules, we eat and work hard every day, how can there be a fat monk like that? "Good, good."


    When Jin Weiwei heard this, she knew that the fat monk was definitely not a monk from the All An Monastery. She could not help but feel a bit vexed. In this boundless sea of people, it was truly difficult to find him again.


    "If fate wills it, we will meet again." The little rich kid blurted out.


    This sentence was not just to comfort him, because his intuition told him that this fat monk must have some special relationship with Jin Weiwei. Perhaps before long, he would naturally come to find her.


    Since they couldn''t find the fat monk, they could only return to the forest and wait for Jin Dabao to wake up. Coincidentally, the moment they arrived at Jin Dabao''s side, he came back to his senses.


    This saved him a lot of trouble.


    Originally, Jin Weiwei wanted to beat Jin Dabao up to death if he didn''t wake up when she came back to see him.


    "Hey, dad, why are you here?" What''s wrong with you? "


    The moment Jin Dabao opened his eyes, he saw Jin Weiwei and little Fugui standing in front of him, looking at him with concern.


    Dazed, Jin Dabao got up and touched the back of his neck. He only felt a dull ache. He tried to move his neck a bit, but fortunately, he was able to move.


    Why was he here?


    When Jin Dabao heard Jin Weiwei''s question, he was unable to recover for a moment.


    He rubbed his eyes and looked around. He found that he was in the forest behind the temple, and there was a big hole left under the pine tree in front of him. It was as if his head was struck by lightning, and his body quivered.


    "Oh, where is my silver? "Where did the silver go?" Jin Dabao shouted loudly, throwing himself into the hollow tree, looking for something.


    Seeing this, Jin Weiwei and the little rich kid secretly smiled at each other.


    "Dad, what''s with you? What silver? What are you talking about?" Jin Weiwei pulled Jin Dabao, who was on the verge of going crazy, and asked.


    "Silver, my silver is gone!" "Did you see my money when you came?" Jin Dabao shouted.


    "What kind of money is it?" When little rich and I arrived here, we only saw you lying there by yourself. I thought something had happened to you, it really scared me to death. " Jin Weiwei pretended to pat her chest, pretending to be afraid.


    Jin Dabao refused to give up. He walked around the pine tree a few times, and then sat down on the ground.

 C56

    "Dad, what''s wrong with you? Don''t scare me." Jin Weiwei stepped forward and asked, "You''re talking about this wilderness, why did you come here all by yourself?"


    Jin Dabao was momentarily at a loss for words. He didn''t know how to answer.


    It turned out that that day in the woodshed, when Jin Dabao heard Jin Weiwei mention that it was her birthday and that she was going to burn incense in the All An Temple to ensure her safety, he had already made up his mind to come with her. Therefore, when Jin Wei and little Fugui went out in the morning, he had followed behind her all the way.


    When he saw that Jin Weiwei also bought a candied fruits and stood next to the water tank, he was reminded of the past, so he ran to the forest behind the temple with the intention of giving it a try. He found the old pine tree and began to dig.


    Originally, he didn''t have much hope, because last year he had dug up a lot of money from here, saying it was Jinwei''s dowry. But unexpectedly, not only did this dig up money, it was also a huge amount of money. A full thousand taels!


    Jin Dabao was stupefied as he looked at the bright and white silver taels. With this money, why would he need to think of a way to deal with Jin Weiwei? Go to hell with all the Jin family butchers, he was going to take the money to have a good time.


    Unfortunately, before his daydreaming had even begun, he had already been attacked and fainted. When he woke up again, all the silver was gone. The feeling of falling from heaven to hell was too painful for him!


    Pow!


    A resounding slap landed on Jin Dabao''s face.


    "Why did you hit me?" Jin Dabao covered his face and looked at Jin Weiwei in confusion. He didn''t understand why she suddenly slapped him.


    Jin Weiwei pretended to be innocent as she said, "I saw that you kept asking the wrong questions, so I thought you were scared silly again, so I wanted to wake you up."


    At this moment, a gust of wind blew through the forest, and the leaves rustled. It sounded like a low whistle, causing one''s eardrums to vibrate.


    When Jin Dabao heard what kind of damned thing Jin Weiwei was talking about, he felt a cold shiver down his spine for some reason. He still had some lingering fear from seeing the ghost lady in the middle of the night. He didn''t even dare to think about her.


    "I''m fine, I''m fine. Let''s quickly leave this place." Jin Dabao staggered to his feet. Since the silver had disappeared, he did not want to stay in such a gloomy place.


    How could Jin Weiwei let him go so easily? Someone had to give her an explanation for the series of strange happenings that had transpired today. The fat monk''s Qing Gong was good. If she couldn''t stop him, then wouldn''t she be able to stop Jin Dabao?


    "Dad, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Jin Weiwei grabbed Jin Dabao. "What were you looking for?" "Why do I hear you keep on calling me silver?"


    Jin Dabao smiled embarrassedly. He was about to lie and fool around when he heard a rough male voice by his ear say, "Tell me the truth, or else you will face the consequences."


    This was not the voice of little rich kids.


    Jin Dabao quickly looked at Xiao Fugui, only to see him standing there with his hands behind his back. He didn''t even open his mouth or say anything.


    Could this sound be made by a ghost?


    "Hurry up and tell me everything. Otherwise, I won''t forgive you." The male voice continued to threaten him.


    "Alright, alright. I''ll speak, I''ll speak ¡­" Jin Dabao was scared out of his wits. His knees went weak and he kneeled on the ground, begging, "I will tell you everything."


    Jin Weiwei looked at Jin Dabao''s frightened expression and found it strange. But since Jin Dabao was going to tell her the whole truth, she didn''t want to interrupt him.


    Thus, Jin Dabao told them everything that had happened.


    So all of this had been arranged by Jin Weiwei''s dead mother.


    Before Jin Weiwei''s mother passed away, she had instructed Jin Dabao to come to the All An Temple to burn incense every year on Jin Weiwei''s birthday, and to buy her a candied fruit gourd to eat. Then, he could dig out a sum of silver from under the hundred-year-old pine tree in the forest behind the temple to pay for Jin Weiwei''s living expenses.


    Perhaps it was because Jin Weiwei''s mother knew that Jin Dabao was an extravagant person, so in the past ten years, she only allowed him to dig out a portion of the money every year, just enough for Jin Weiwei to eat and wear for a year.


    Until last year, when Jin Weiwei turned 15 years old, Jin Dabao had suddenly dug up a lot of money from under a tree. There was even a note inside, stating in black and white that the money was given to Jin Weiwei as a dowry.


    However, Jin Dabao was not someone who kept his word. Thus, he tore off the note and took the money for himself. Then, he took the money and ran away with Widow Chen.


    After hearing the whole story, Jin Weiwei finally understood why Jin Dabao would bring her to the temple to burn incense on his birthday after clearly hating her so much. At that time, the original owner thought that Jin Dabao was doing this because his father was kind enough to buy her candied fruits.


    "Then why didn''t you bring me to burn incense this year?" Jin Weiwei asked.


    "Didn''t I already dig up a large amount of silver last year?" Jin Dabao replied awkwardly, "The board says that the money will be your dowry. I was thinking that a silly girl like you, you''re not beautiful at all, and you don''t even know how to use zither, chess, calligraphy, or painting. How could you possibly get married out? So we''re probably not going to have any more money this year... But I never would have thought that your mother would really care about you. She actually left money for you this year! "


    At this point, Jin Dabao pounded his chest, and put on a heartbroken look, "It''s just a pity that some little thief knocked me out, and the silver disappeared as well."


    Seeing this, Jin Weiwei did not intend to tell Jin Dabao the truth. She deliberately walked over to the hole in front of the pine tree and asked, "Is the silver you were talking about in this hole? How many are there? "


    Jin Dabao wiped his tears and said, "It''s right here. It''s worth at least a thousand taels. A thousand taels!"


    "What?" "A thousand silver?" "My mother left me a thousand taels, and you actually let someone else take that from me?"


    Jin Dabao nodded dejectedly. When it came to heartache, he was not the least bit less than Jin Weiwei.


    "What do you think I need you for!?" I haven''t even seen a shadow of such a large sum of money. "If it wasn''t for your bad intentions and the fact that you wanted to take this money, the three of us would have dug it up together. How would we let someone else snatch it away?" Jin Weiwei kept berating him.


    Jin Dabao knew that he was in the wrong. At the same time, he was afraid of that ghostly voice from before, so no matter what Jin Weiwei said to him, he just kept his head down.


    After cursing for a long time, Jin Weiwei was finally tired of it. In addition, she had been tormenting herself for more than half a day. It was already getting late, so Jin Weiwei decided to go home first.

 C57

    The three of them went down the mountain together, but as soon as they left the forest, Jin Dabao fell on his butt and cried out in pain while hugging his feet.


    "Hurry and get up, why are you so hypocritical?" Jin Weiwei looked at Jin Dabao impatiently. She felt that he was too good at handling matters. He couldn''t even walk two steps forward.


    "I''m not being unreasonable. I''m really in pain." Jin Dabao had a bitter face as he muttered to himself.


    Xiao Fugui walked up to Jin Dabao and bent down to take a look. He saw that Jin Dabao''s right ankle was already swollen, red and swollen. Jin Dabao had indeed suffered from a sprain wound.


    "You''re still saying that it''s not an act? We all walk the same way, so how come you just twisted your leg?" Jin Weiwei just didn''t like Jin Dabao, so she had to scold him for being unreasonable.


    "My foot injury from last time wasn''t as good as it used to be. The two of you walked so fast, so I couldn''t wait to follow you. That''s why I sprained my leg again." As Jin Dabao said this, his eyes kept darting towards little Fugui, because he was the one who threw him out of the yard and hurt his foot the last time.


    "You still dare to talk back?" Jin Weiwei raised her fist and made a gesture to hit him.


    Jin Dabao quickly covered his head and shouted, "I really can''t leave! If you beat me to death, I won''t leave either!"


    Jin Weiwei was so angry by him that she almost died. "Then if you don''t leave, do you still want to spend the night here?"


    "Let him carry me." Jin Dabao pointed at little Fugui and said.


    "What?" You want my husband to carry you? You don''t even have a chance! " Jin Weiwei said angrily.


    "Then I really can''t leave. You decide." Jin Dabao sat on the ground with a wronged expression and started to act like a scoundrel.


    Jin Weiwei glared at Jin Dabao, reluctantly took out a few coins from her purse and said to little Fugui, "You have a fast pace, go down the mountain and check if you can find a car. We''ll wait for you here."


    In less than half an incense''s time, little Fugui rented an ox-cart from the foot of the mountain.


    However, this ox-cart was truly broken. There was only a flat panel on it. It was directly connected to the pole and there was not even a handrail on it. Looking at the dark, bony face of the cow, one couldn''t help but wonder if it could pull the three of them.


    "Is this the oxcart you rented? This cow is so thin, can it pull us? " Jin Weiwei pursed her lips, revealing a look of disgust.


    "Little girl, this cow doesn''t look like much, but it''s full of strength." The farmer rubbed the cow''s head with a proud look on his face.


    Xiao Fugui shrugged his shoulders at the same time and spread out his hands. "Only this one."


    Jin Weiwei sighed. "Alright then."


    Hearing Jin Weiwei''s words, the farmer was immediately displeased. "What, do you all dislike my car?" "If it wasn''t for the fact that this young man was in a hurry to use the car, I wouldn''t have caught a taxi over here. My family''s Big Treasure has been tired all day, I even want him to have a good rest."


    What? This cow is also called Da Bao?


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but laugh inside. His heart had been a little awkward, but now it was gone.


    "Not at all, not at all. I can tell from one look that your family''s Big Treasure is a hardworking and hardworking treasure. Sometimes, animals are much better than people."


    As Jin Weiwei spoke, she jumped onto the car and sat down.


    "Where are you waiting?" Do you want me to invite you up? " Seeing Jin Dabao waiting dumbly on the spot, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but urge him.


    Jin Dabao forced himself to stand up and hopped in front of the ox-cart. He sat on the back of the cart with difficulty. Then, Little Fugui took a detour to the front of the cart and sat on the left and right side with the farmer driving it.


    When they came to the temple in the morning, it was the two of them, Jin Weiwei and little Fugui, who were rushing on their way. When they came to the temple in the morning, it was the two of them, Jin Weiwei and little Fugui, were on their way.


    But now, the mystery of Jin Dabao bringing Jin Weiwei to burn incense had been solved. She also took a thousand taels of silver out of thin air. At this time, Jin Weiwei was leisurely sitting on the oxcart, listening to the squeaking of the wheels.


    "Ai, little Fugui, look over there. Look at how beautiful that field of flowers is." Jin Weiwei suddenly saw a large field of golden flowers not far from the roadside. The flowers were blooming like a raging fire. When the breeze blew, the sea of flowers looked like the waves of a sea, rippling up and down.


    "Second Brother Liu, can I trouble you to stop the car? I want to go pick a few flowers. Can you wait for me for a while?"


    After walking for less than two miles, Jin Weiwei had become very familiar with the cattle farmers and called him "Second Brother Liu".


    "Phew ¡­" Second Liu stopped the ox-cart and smiled innocently. "Big sis likes to see flowers so much." Since I''m fine, I''ll just wait here for you. However, can you help me pick one when the sis comes back? "


    "Of course, there''s no problem with that. But what do you want this flower for, Second Brother Liu?" Jin Weiwei asked as she jumped out of the car.


    Liu Er rubbed his hands in embarrassment. "My wife is the same as you. They both like flowers."


    Jin Weiwei pursed her lips into a smile. "So Second Brother Liu dotes on your wife this much. It''s really enviable."


    "Big sis, I''ve let you down." Liu Er lowered his head, seemingly blushing in embarrassment.


    "Aren''t you going?" Jin Weiwei saw that little Fugui was sitting in the car with no intention of getting off at all.


    "It''s just a wild flower." Little Fugui didn''t seem to be interested.


    "What happened to the wildflowers? Are you looking down on wildflowers? I''m telling you, even wild flowers can be very beautiful, they are very fragrant, people like you just don''t know how to appreciate them. " Jin Weiwei pouted. She didn''t think that this little rich kid would say such a thing.


    "Right, right. Wild flowers are better." Jin Dabao followed her words to fawn on her. "Didn''t they say that the flowers at home don''t smell like wild flowers?"


    Upon hearing Jin Dabao''s vulgarity, Jin Weiwei''s face turned even uglier. "If you don''t speak, no one will treat you as a mute."


    "Do you want to go or not? I''ll go by myself." Jin Weiwei turned around and ran towards the field of wildflowers.


    "Little Brother, your wife seems to be angry." Liu Er nudged the little rich guy, thinking to himself, this little brother looks like he has a pretty and delicate face and looks like he''s smart. How come he doesn''t even understand women''s thoughts?


    Little Fugui looked at Jin Weiwei''s bouncing back and slightly frowned. However, he still jumped off the car and silently followed behind Jin Weiwei.


    Liu Er and Jin Dabao were bored, so they simply took a nap in the car.


    "Whose broken oxcart is this? Why is it parked in the middle of the road, blocking the path of other people!"


    Suddenly, a sharp female voice pierced Liu Er''s ears.

 C58

    He quickly jumped off the carriage to take a look and saw a carriage coming from behind. His oxcart was parked in the middle of the road, obviously blocking the path of the carriage.


    "I''m sorry, I''m sorry. I''ll just move the car to the side." Liu Er knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn''t argue. He hastily pushed the ox-cart to the side of the road, creating a path for himself in the middle of the road.


    Liu Er had originally thought that everything would be fine if he got out of the way, but as he was pushing the oxcart towards the side of the road, he heard the woman continue to curse, "Don''t you know that a good dog doesn''t get in the way? How could you have the nerve to drive out such a crappy oxcart? "


    When Liu Er heard this, he was immediately angered. He turned around and saw a well-dressed old lady who seemed to come from a wealthy family opening the carriage curtain. Although she was also well-mannered, there was a sharp look on her face.


    "What do you say, old woman? Didn''t this road already make room for you? Why are you cursing? "


    "What?" You call me Old Woman? " The woman''s voice suddenly became even louder, "So what if I''m scolding you? Who told you to take the road and block our path without knowing what''s good for you? You''re wasting our time?"


    The more Jin Dabao heard, the more familiar his voice. He then opened his eyes and took a closer look. The woman who cursed him was none other than his second sister, Jin Xiaodie.


    "Second sister, why is it you?" Jin Dabao shouted.


    Upon hearing Jin Dabao''s voice, Jin Xiaodie quickly got off the horse carriage, "Dabao? Why are you here? "


    "Well, it''s a long story. However, where are you going in such a hurry, second sister? " Jin Dabao sighed. He didn''t want to talk about the useless thing that happened today because when he thought about how the thousand taels of silver was stolen away from him, he felt a pain in his chest that made him unable to breathe.


    "I was worried about you. I was just about to go to Xingtian Village to find you."


    It turned out that ever since Jin Dabao had left the Jiang family and returned to Xingtian Village, he had been like a stone sinking into the ocean and had never been heard from again. She waited at home for a few days like an ant on a hot pan, but she still didn''t get any news about Jin Dabao.


    She felt that something must have happened to her brother. After discussing it with Jiang Qingshou, she decided to personally visit Xingtian Village and check on Jin Dabao''s condition. She then hired a horse carriage and went to Xingtian Village in a hurry.


    Who would have thought that halfway through, she would be stopped by an ox cart. What was even more unexpected was that it was actually Jin Dabao.


    Jin Weiwei and little Fugui were in the flower field picking flowers when they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the road. They looked over and discovered that their ox-cart was in conflict with someone''s carriage, so they stopped playing and quickly ran back.


    However, just as she arrived in front of the ox-cart, Jin Weiwei suddenly stopped. Her entire body suddenly stood erect like a hedgehog, and she was filled with a sense of vigilance.


    He immediately looked in the direction of the carriage, only to see a thin, ordinary middle-aged woman standing next to Jin Dabao. On closer look, her face with her small nose and small eyes was actually somewhat similar to Jin Dabao''s.


    At this time, Jin Xiaodie didn''t notice Jin Weiwei, who was rushing over because all of her attention was focused on Jin Dabao.


    She looked at Jin Dabao''s messy hair, his clothes were dirty and tattered, and his body was covered in dirt. She felt especially sorry for him.


    "My poor treasure, what''s going on with you? Why did he make himself look like this? Did that damned girl, Jin Weiwei, bully you on purpose? "


    Jin Dabao also felt that he had a belly full of grievances. Normally, he would have pulled Jin Xiaodie along to narrate Jin Weiwei''s "evil deeds", but when he thought about how he had met ghost for the past few days, he really didn''t dare to say anything bad about her.


    "Second sister, I''m fine. I just went for a stroll today, and accidentally fell down on my own."


    "How old are you to fall?" Jin Xiaodie didn''t quite believe him. Even if he did fall, how many somersaults would he have to fall in order to fall into his current state.


    "I really fell. Look, I twisted my leg. It really hurts right now." Jin Dabao couldn''t help but complain to Jin Xiaodie.


    When Jin Dabao''s ankle was swollen like a steamed bun, Jin Xiaodie screamed exaggeratedly, "Ouch! It''s swollen like this. It must be very painful."


    "He deserves it!" Jin Weiwei went to the front of the oxcart, looked at Jin Xiaodie and said, "The reason why he came here is because he was greedy. He brought it upon himself, God gave him retribution."


    Jin Xiaodie was stunned, she stared at Jin Weiwei for a long time, "You are ¡­" "Jin Weiwei?"


    "What is it? Is second aunt old enough to have a bad memory? Even I can''t recognize her? " Jin Weiwei took another step forward and approached Jin Xiaodie, saying, "Come, I''ll let you have a good look."


    "You really are Jin Weiwei ¡­" Being overwhelmed by her aura, Jin Xiaodie couldn''t help but take a step back.


    No wonder Jin Dabao said that the current Jin Weiwei was different from the past. Other than the fact that her clothes were different from her previous disheveled appearance, her aura now was even more different.


    "I''m not Jin Weiwei, how could I be anyone else?" With a cold face, Jin Weiwei said, "I really didn''t expect to bump into Second Aunt here. Does this count as the narrow path between enemies?"


    After repeatedly confirming that it was Jin Weiwei, Jin Xiaodie calmed herself down. She thought that even if she was different from before, she was still a wet behind the ears little girl, and she was also Jin Xiaodie''s niece.


    Thinking of this, Jin Xiaodie''s unreasonable strength returned. She pointed at Jin Weiwei''s nose and swore,


    "Alright, you damned girl. Now that you''re able to grow, your wings will become harder, won''t they?" How dare you talk to your second aunt like that? "Have you forgotten how much food my family ate and how much soup we drank when we were young?"


    "I will never forget how you two treated me. Not only do I remember eating your leftovers and drinking your family''s rotten soup, I also remember how many times I was slapped and how many times I was whipped."


    "You ¡­ "You ¡­" Jin Xiaodie never thought that Jin Weiwei would become so eloquent now. In the past, even if she was scolded ten thousand times, she wouldn''t give back a single word.

 C59

    "What about me? My memory is very good, so Second Aunt shouldn''t worry about me. I have firmly remembered the kindness that second aunt''s family has shown me. I will return it bit by bit in the future. " When Jin Weiwei said this, her eyes were filled with a murderous aura.


    "Okay you damn girl, are you threatening me?"


    Jin Xiaodie felt a chill in her heart, and she somehow felt scared, but she still dared to scold:


    "You, who only know how to eat people inside and out, you have been using our Jiang Clan''s food. Now that you have grown up, you can''t even recognize us anymore. You don''t want to return the favor, but instead, you want to repay the favor with an enmity, and you want to ruin our family''s business! If you don''t let us continue to do business, does that mean you''re cutting off Jiang Ji''s road to wealth? "You are still so young, how can your heart be so bad?!"


    After waiting for the little butterfly to finish her sentence, Jin Weiwei gripped the silver notes in her sleeve and sneered:


    "Second Aunt is right. I did do something wrong in this matter. I shouldn''t have interfered to disrupt the business between Second Uncle and Shopkeeper Qian. "


    Hearing this, Jin Xiaodie was stunned. Just now, Jin Weiwei had been fighting against her, so why did she suddenly start to admit her mistake again?


    Seeing the confused look on Jin Xiaodie''s face, Jin Weiwei raised her eyebrows and continued, "The correct thing to do is to immediately open a new Jin family meat shop in the county. From now on, I will directly supply the goods to Boss Qian, so that he won''t be troubled, and worry about the supply problem in the future."


    "You ¡­ "You damned girl!" Jin Xiaodie was so angry that her blood vessels were about to burst. She did not care about her image as she angrily shouted, "You little bastard, I''ve seen from a young age that you are not a good person. Not only can you seduce men, you even steal things.


    When Jin Weiwei heard that Jin Xiaodie mentioned all sorts of things about how she was framed in the past, the disgust in her heart deepened.


    "Don''t you care about your second sister, what nonsense is she talking about?" Jin Weiwei turned around and shouted at Jin Dabao. This was because she knew that once Jin Dabao could deal with her once Jin Xiaodie went berserk.


    Jin Dabao had already been scared out of his wits by the ghost girl and the fat monk. He was really afraid that Jin Weiwei''s mother would come and settle the score with him. After all, he had done too much wrong to Jin Wei. Therefore, he was willing to listen to anything that Jin Weiwei said. He only hoped that he would be safe and not be pestered by ghosts again.


    "Shut up!" Jin Dabao pointed at Jin Xiaodie''s nose and cursed, "Everyone is very clear about what happened in the past. When Weiwei was at your house, you guys always bullied her. How can you, as an elder, have the nerve to blame her now? How shameless. "Bah!"


    "Dabao, you ¡­ you actually helped this stinking girl insult me?!" After being scolded, Jin Xiaodie stared at Jin Dabao with her eyes wide open.


    I''m not only going to curse you, I''m going to curse that bastard Jiang Qingshu as well. Don''t think that I don''t know that he''s done wrong things to Weiwei in the past.


    Jin Dabao''s words were like a sharp dagger that stabbed into Jin Xiaodie''s heart. She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her chest was so stuffy that she almost couldn''t breathe.


    Jin Xiaodie was sad, not because of what Jin Dabao had said, but because she never thought that her beloved brother would turn the gun around and help Jin Weiwei reprimand her.


    Seeing that Jin Xiaodie was so angry that she couldn''t say a word and could only hold her chest while gasping for air, Jin Weiwei didn''t want to waste time with her, so she turned around and jumped onto the oxcart.


    "Second Brother Liu, let''s continue on our way."


    Watching Jin Weiwei leave, Jin Dabao didn''t bother to look at his second sister who was so angry with him. He immediately limped to catch up with her and followed her away.


    Jin Xiaodie stayed on the spot and rested for a long time before she could breathe again. However, since Jin Dabao had treated her like this, there was no need for her to go to Xingtian Village. Therefore, she drove the carriage back to the county city.


    As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Qishou noticed that something was wrong with Jin Xiaodie''s face, "Why are you back so soon? Did you find Jin Dabao? "


    It was fine to not mention Jin Dabao, but when Jin Xiaodie mentioned him, the grievance in her stomach flared up like an uncontrollable flood.


    Therefore, she described what happened on the road from beginning to end with snot running down her nose and tears streaming down her face. She kept scolding Jin Weiwei, and if that stinking girl hadn''t instigated them, how could her beloved brother have scolded her?


    "Oh right, that stinky girl also said that she wanted to open a butcher''s shop in the county and directly supply the money to Shopkeeper Qian. She told him that he would never do business with our Jiang Ji''s butcher''s shop again!"


    "Humph, the little girl has quite the tone." Jiang Qingshu sneered, "Does she know how much it would cost to open a butcher''s shop in the county?" Did she really think that she would be able to change out of the butcher''s shop in the county with just that storefront in Xingtian Village? "What a daydream."


    "But from her tone, it doesn''t seem like she was joking. She was just casually saying it ¡­" Jin Xiaodie was truly worried, because after seeing Jin Weiwei this time, she had already experienced her power.


    "Don''t worry, no matter how capable she is, she''s still just a little country girl." I don''t believe she can afford to buy a storefront. " Jiang Qingshu comforted Jin Xiaodie, "We shouldn''t worry about nothing. Rather than worrying about her, a butcher''s shop that can''t be opened, we should think about how to build a good relationship with Boss Qian."


    "You''re right, the most important thing right now is to have a good relationship with Boss Qian. We can''t let that damned girl, Jin Weiwei, cause any damage."


    Afterwards, the couple discussed things for a while and decided that Jiang Qingshu would personally deliver the goods at the delivery time and discuss it with Shopkeeper Qian as well. They didn''t believe that with just a few words from Jin Weiwei, Shopkeeper Qian would cut off all relations with them.


    While Jiang Qingshou and his wife were still scheming against each other, Jin Weiwei had already made up her mind to open a shop in the county city.


    Although the ox-cart was already three-quarters of the way to the county, Jin Weiwei still had Second Liu turn the car around and hurry towards the county town.


    When they arrived at the county city, Jin Weiwei paid Liu two to three times the amount of money to wait for her and little Fugui here. She also warned him again and again to take good care of Jin Dabao and not let him run around.


    Having taken the money, Liu Er was overjoyed. He immediately promised Jin Weiwei that he would keep an eye on Jin Dabao until they returned.

 C60

    Jin Weiwei led the little rich kid through the alley and soon arrived at the Grand Dominance Restaurant. As soon as they entered the restaurant, the waiters recognized her. After all, the ruckus they had caused here last time wasn''t small.


    "Manager, the Jin family meat shop''s Lady Jin is here!"


    Hearing the guard''s shout, Shopkeeper Qian rushed out of the room to welcome Jin Weiwei. "A rare guest, really a rare guest. Lady Jin, why are you so free to come here today?" "Quick, invite them to come in and have a seat."


    "You don''t have to be so courteous, Manager Qian. I didn''t come to the Treasure Hall for no reason." Jin Weiwei followed Shopkeeper Qian into the back room. She didn''t hold back and sat down without waiting for him to give her a seat.


    "What can I do for you, Miss Jin?" Manager Qian greeted the waiter and quickly served tea while talking to Jin Weiwei.


    "Shopkeeper Qian, you must be joking. I''m just a little girl who just came to the county to do business. I still need your advice."


    "Not at all, not at all. Although Miss Jin is still young, but when it comes to her ability to do business, I''m afraid that many business people in this county cannot even compare to her."


    After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Jin Weiwei said with a smile, "I think I''ll be frank and not waste any more time here."


    With that said, she took out two fifty-tael banknotes from her bosom and slapped it on the table, pushing it in front of Keeper Qian.


    "Miss Jin, what is the meaning of this?" Seeing that the Jin Weiwei had taken out a hundred taels of silver, Shopkeeper Qian''s eyes immediately widened.


    "I would like to ask Shopkeeper Qian to help me find a decent store in the county. This one hundred silver is the deposit." As Jin Weiwei spoke, she took out five taels of silver from her purse and placed it on the table. "These five taels of silver are a good fee for you. If the matter is settled, I will also give you five taels of silver as compensation."


    "Miss Jin wants to set up a shop in the county? Could it be that he wanted to spread the meat of Jin family in the county? " Shopkeeper Qian asked in surprise.


    "That''s right, that''s what I meant." "A few days ago, I asked for money to stop the business with Jiang Ji''s butcher shop, and you still haven''t made a decision. I''m guessing it''s because you''re worried that the supply of goods will be stable in the future ¡­" "So I thought about it carefully. In order to avoid any worries from Shopkeeper Qian, I''ll just open a new butcher''s shop in the county city and directly supply it to you. That way, you can be at ease."


    When Shopkeeper Qian heard Jin Weiwei''s words, he was also very happy in his heart. Back then, he hadn''t been able to make up his mind, but now he was worried about the future supply of goods.


    "If Shopkeeper Qian is not afraid of trouble and agrees to help me, then I will immediately send someone to deliver fifty catties of sausages tomorrow."


    After saying all of this in one breath, Jin Weiwei took a sip of the tea cup and asked, "Shopkeeper Qian, after you''ve heard so much from me, what do you think?"


    "Is there even a need to ask? Miss Jin''s business is naturally my business! I''ll go to the street tomorrow and help you find a shop. I promise I''ll help you find a good one. "


    Without any hesitation, Shopkeeper Qian agreed. At the same time, he looked at the silver notes and silver taels on the table. He vaguely realized that Jin Weiwei was truly rich.


    Therefore, he secretly made up his mind to completely break off all ties with Jiang Ji''s butcher shop.


    Not long after sending off Jin Weiwei, Jiang Qingshu came to deliver the goods.


    "Shopkeeper Jiang, why did you personally deliver the goods today?" As he counted the items, he greeted Jiang Qingshu.


    "I haven''t seen you in a while, so I came here to see you." Jiang Qingshu smiled hypocritically.


    Normally, Shopkeeper Qian might have had a social interaction with him, but today, he directly said, "Boss Jiang, why are you playing around with me here? You must have something to discuss with me, right?"


    Jiang Qingshou was embarrassed by her words. "You''re right, I''m here to talk to you about our two families working together in the future ¡­"


    "Wait a moment."


    Before Jiang Qingshou could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shopkeeper Qian.


    He flipped through the account book in his hand, then took out the abacus and started to calculate. After a while, he raised his head and said:


    "Shopkeeper Jiang, I''ll do some calculations here. Adding on the meat you sent over today, the payment for the goods is equal to twenty taels of silver. Last time, you lent me twenty-five taels of silver, which means you still owe me five taels of silver.


    Jiang Qingshu glanced at the account book in the man''s hand and nodded, "That''s right, we still owe you five taels of silver. We''ll pay you back one or two more times."


    It turned out that he was a bit short on cash a while ago, so he borrowed twenty-five taels of silver from the money manager to make an emergency. Afterwards, he didn''t want to return the money immediately, saying that he had no money on hand and could use it to pay off his debts. At first, Owner Qian was a little unhappy, but when he thought that he was going to buy more anyway, he agreed.


    "If it''s convenient, Shopkeeper Jiang, then settle the bill with me today." Shopkeeper Qian closed the account book and said, "Because this is the last time our Grand Dominance Restaurant will stock up from Jiang Ji''s Meat Shop. From tomorrow onwards, you don''t have to deliver any more stock. Our cooperation ends here."


    When Jiang Qingshu heard this, he was dumbfounded.


    He originally wanted to discuss the matter of the cooperation. Who would have thought that before he could finish his words, Shopkeeper Qian would have already told him to stop the cooperation.


    "Why is that? Is it really because of that damn girl Jin Weiwei that you decided to cut off all business dealings with us, Shopkeeper Qian?! "


    At first, Shopkeeper Qian didn''t want to say much, but Jiang Qingshu couldn''t bear with it any longer. He had no choice but to tell her about Jin Weiwei coming to the shop today to discuss the matter of opening a new shop with him.


    "How is that possible? Shopkeeper Qian, why are you speaking the words of a little girl so easily? She only has a small butcher''s shop in the village, how could she have the money to open a shop in this county? " Jiang Qingshu didn''t believe that Jin Weiwei would be able to pay that much money, no matter what he said.


    "Whether you want to believe it or not, I believe in Lady Jin." Manager Qian frowned impatiently. "You''re laughing at me for being poor and saying that I don''t have the money to buy a shop, but what about you? Are you going to pay me back the five taels of silver you owe me? When are you going to pay me back?" You, a dignified butcher, wouldn''t be unable to even afford five liang of silver, right? "


    Jiang Qingshu''s words had hit the nail right on the head. He couldn''t bring out the 5 taels of silver on his body, so he said angrily, "I''m trying to persuade you. I''m afraid you''ll fall for that damned girl''s trick, but you''re trying to make fun of me!"


    "I''ll tell you the truth, I watched that damn girl, Jin Weiwei, grow up. How much of her family background do I not know about?" I''m sure she won''t be able to afford it. If you don''t believe me, why don''t we make a bet? "If Jin Weiwei really opens up the Jin family''s meat in this county, I will pay you back the five taels of silver that I owe you!"


    "Alright, if Miss Jin fails to open a shop, then I don''t need the five taels of silver that you owe me. We''ll write off the debt." Shopkeeper Qian was also very straightforward. After all, Jin Weiwei''s one hundred taels of silver was already auctioned off here. It was much more reliable than Jiang Qingshou''s illusory five taels of silver.


    "Then it''s a deal!"


    After the two of them clapped, the bet was set.

 C61

    The more Jiang Qingshu came out of the shop, the more he felt that something was amiss. He had worked with them for so many years, and he knew very well what kind of character they had. Why did they reject all five taels of silver today?


    Five taels of silver was not a large sum, but it was still a small sum!


    Why was that?


    The more Jiang Qingshu thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. He quickly walked over to his butcher''s shop.


    It was sunset when Jiang Qingshou returned. Jin Xiaoyan was packing up the leftover half a plate of pork. When she looked up and saw her husband returning, she couldn''t help but notice that something was wrong with his face.


    "What''s wrong? Didn''t he go to deliver the meat to the cashier? Why did he come back with a straight face? It was Keeper Qian who urged you to return the money? "


    Other than money, Jin Xiaoyan really couldn''t think of anything else that could make Jiang Qingshu act this way.


    "Yan Zi, tell me, why do you think Shopkeeper Qian is so strange today? Normally, you pay close attention to matters related to money. But today, five taels of silver actually doesn''t take it seriously at all."


    Jin Xiaoyan was silent for a moment as she thought about Jiang Qingshu''s words. She recalled the greedy face that was usually shown to her by the shopkeeper. A man like him wouldn''t give up easily for no reason.


    What had happened?


    "Qing Shou, what did this Manager Qian say?"


    Jiang Qingshu told them everything he had met this afternoon at Shopkeeper Qian''s.


    "What? You''re saying that Jin Weiwei, that damned girl, actually let Shopkeeper Qian help her find a shop?"


    Jin Xiaoyan''s face changed at the mention of Jin Weiwei.


    This Jin Weiwei had changed so much that she couldn''t help but believe that her niece was no longer a fool.


    "I didn''t believe it at the beginning, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was amiss. Can this money be given to me for free?" They must be waiting for the money to double! "


    Jiang Qingshou finally figured out what was on Shopkeeper Qian''s mind, but he was gnashing his teeth in anger. Speaking of this unscrupulous businessman, who would dare to be number one and be number two?


    "That won''t do, we have to guard against Owner Qian, I''m almost done. Qing Shou, take this half piece of pork back to the warehouse, we''ll make a trip back to the Qian Family in the dark."


    With that, Jin Xiaoyan and Jiang Qingshou began to busy themselves. If Jin Weiwei really did open a shop in the county, then their business would plummet.


    The attitude of the Qian Family was a living example. In addition, if Jin Weiwei hated them so much, she would definitely cause trouble for their butcher shop in the future.


    After cleaning up quickly, the two of them quickly left without even having time to have dinner. After all, this matter could be said to be a life and death matter for their butcher, so naturally they had to order refreshments.


    Just as the two of them arrived at the Qian house, Shopkeeper Qian had just turned off the lamp he was holding and was about to lock the door and walk out.


    After all, they were here to investigate the military intelligence so they couldn''t meet up with Keeper Qian. Jiang Qingshu dragged his wife behind a tree and didn''t even dare to breathe loudly.


    Shopkeeper Qian tightly protected his pockets. From the looks of it, he had a lot of money in his pocket. After all, the county was very different from the village, so he had to be careful when entering and leaving.


    He strode quickly towards the west side of the city. Jin Xiaoyan and Jiang Qingshou naturally didn''t dare to be careless as they followed closely behind Keeper Qian.


    He walked up to a shop with a transfer notice on the door, reached into his pocket and walked in with a peaceful heart.


    "Yanzi, what do you think Shopkeeper Qian came here for? Could it be that you''re really looking for a store for that damned girl ¡­" If that''s really the case, then it''s bad! "


    The reason why Shopkeeper Qian didn''t listen to Jin Weiwei was because he was afraid that losing the source of the goods would affect his family''s business.


    If Jin Weiwei brought the meat to the county, then Manager Qian would definitely stop their goods without a word.


    And judging from the location of the shop, it was on the main street of Wangpu store, so there probably wouldn''t be any loss at all.


    "No!" "We can''t let this happen! The Jiang family''s butcher shop has been sitting in this county for so many years, we definitely can''t let that girl suppress it. When the shopkeeper comes out, we''ll go in and negotiate with the storekeeper to sell it, even if it costs us extra silver taels."


    Jin Xiaoyan had a much longer horizon than Jiang Qingshou had thought. If he let Shopkeeper Qian buy them, they wouldn''t have a chance to make a comeback.


    Jiang Qingshou furrowed his brows. It seemed like he had to consider this store.


    Although Jiang Qingshou thought the same way, the store was definitely a big deal. But since he had spent so much money, it was only natural that his heart ached to death.


    "Wait a minute, have you thought about what the shop is for? If we go in, there will be no path of retreat. This money is definitely not in our hands. "


    Jiang Qingshou''s head hurt at the thought of spending money at the store. After all, within two to three months, the shop owner probably wouldn''t agree.


    However, this year, it would at least cost a few dozen silver taels.


    In truth, Jin Xiaoyan hadn''t thought about it too, but she knew that if she didn''t seize this opportunity, her family''s butcher shop would be in danger in the future.


    If he spent the money right before his eyes, why wouldn''t he do it?


    "Qing Shou, we can discuss those things in the future. The most important thing right now is to not let this damn girl open her own shop, so let''s not talk about that for now ¡­" Manager Qian is about to come out. Quickly go in and have a chat with that shopkeeper. "


    The moment Shopkeeper Qian walked out of the shop, Jin Xiaoyan pushed Jiang Qingshu to keep up.


    The two saw that the shopkeeper had left their line of sight and slipped into the shop. They did not know the storekeeper, so they directly stated their purpose of coming.


    "Innkeeper, was that fat man just now here to rent your store?"


    It was good for everyone to have a conversation with someone they weren''t familiar with, so Jin Xiaoyan didn''t beat around the bush.


    Furthermore, the man in front of her had a glib tongue, making him look like he wasn''t someone who was easy to fool.


    "Yes, what''s wrong? What''s the matter? "


    "Shopkeeper, it''s like this. The two of us found the notice at your door and entered. If it is, then we must be renting a shop."


    Although Jiang Qishou didn''t want to rent the shop, there was nothing they could do about it. They had no other way out.


    The storekeeper still found it strange. He had hung up the notice for less than half a month without making a sound. What was going on today? Did all the people who rented the shop come knocking on his door?


    However, regret was useless against him. After all, he had already signed that contract. After all, five years had passed, and it was likely that even ordinary people would not be able to rent it.


    I''m sorry, but if you don''t continue with the matter of renting a shop, then it''s because I just rented out the shop. As you can see, they have already paid a deposit of 100 silver coins and signed the contract.

 C62

    "..." "What, five years, storekeeper, did you misstate the number of years?"


    Jiang Qingshou was shocked when he heard about the number of years they had spent together. If they had actually rented this shop for five years, it would have been weird if the butcher shop hadn''t been completely ruined.


    After all, the King''s Meat Shop had secret sausages, and they had no special food.


    In the past, the only reason why there were so many orders was because there were many different types of meat in the butcher''s shop, so no one wanted to leave.


    But if the Jin family meat shop came up, even if he didn''t have any money, he would definitely tell Jin Weiwei to take half of the business away.


    Although the storekeeper didn''t know why they had such a huge reaction, the banknotes were right there. With solid evidence, no one could change the facts.


    "Eldest Sister-in-Law, look, this is the one hundred taels of silver note that Shopkeeper Qian left for me just now. It''s already here and no one can change it." Don''t waste your breath. You can only say that you came late! "


    Jin Xiaoyan finally understood that there was no point in wasting time here. It would be better to go home and think things over.


    Both of them came out of the store with their heads hanging low. After all, Jin Weiwei had already rented this store. This time, the food was bad.


    "No!" This shop definitely cannot be opened by Jin Weiwei! "


    Jiang Qingshou had just entered the house when he said something that almost scared Jin Xiaoyan out of her wits. But Jin Xiaoyan didn''t know what to say.


    "A few months ago, that little girl from the Jin family was still in a daze. Even if she is doing really well now, she shouldn''t be this powerful. She only earned 100 taels of silver in a few months?" It''s absolutely impossible. "


    These five years, the store couldn''t be rented just because she wanted to rent it. How could Jin Weiwei suddenly take out that much money?


    Although the Jiang couple didn''t know what had happened to Jin Weiwei in the past few months, their family owned a butcher''s shop. They also knew about the butcher''s shop''s business, which was impossible.


    Then, there was only one thing left to do.


    This money didn''t belong to Jin Weiwei at all!


    Their gazes met, and they reached a tacit understanding.


    "But, although this might be the case, why would Keeper Qian place the money on Jin Wei as a cushion?"


    Although both of them had guessed that this money didn''t belong to Jin Weiwei in the first place, shopkeeper had always treated money as his life. How could he be so straightforward and generous as to pay such a high price?


    "Then maybe ¡­" That little hoof and Shopkeeper Qian were having an affair. Although Shopkeeper Qian loved money, it was not as if he had never thought about other girls over the years. Do you remember the Ji Clan girl who always went to his shop, giving him preferential treatment every time ¡­ "Jin Wei must have taken a fancy to this point and seduced Manager Qian!"


    Okay, this little rascal was so resistant to him. Now, for a few lousy coins, she actually followed that shopkeeper?


    What are you pretending to be so reserved about, and why did you put up a memorial archway for me?


    "Really?"


    Jin Xiaoyan was skeptical, but Jiang Qingshu''s conjecture wasn''t unreasonable. After all, she was the one who had seduced her second uncle, and everyone clearly remembered her ugly behavior!


    "Swallow, did you forget that if she didn''t seduce me that year, how could I ¡­"


    Jiang Qingshou was fanning the flames now, and everything seemed to have come to an end.


    If that was the case, Jin Xiaoyan felt that there was still room for discussion. She hadn''t thought that shopkeeper Qian would have such a good time.


    If that was the case, the tigress in his family would definitely not spare him.


    "Humph, if you didn''t say it, I would have forgotten about this little hoof. If this is really the case, then we really have a way out of this mess!"


    Because of the business dealings between the two families, they often had the opportunity to meet up with each other. Although Jin Xiaoyan had always been at odds with Shopkeeper Qian, her relationship with his wife was not bad.


    Naturally, Jiang Qingshu knew his wife very well. Wasn''t being rude the way she did?


    Which of her best friends didn''t know how to do this?


    "Let''s have a good night''s sleep and not think about anything else. Tomorrow, I''ll go find Shopkeeper Qian''s wife. This matter can''t be blamed on us. Who asked him to not leave us with a chance to live?"


    People were always anxious, but rabbits would bite if they were anxious! If the Jin family store opened up again, then he would really have no other way out.


    "Mm. Anyways, no one can cut off my Jiang family''s road to wealth. She''s just a silly little girl, how could she climb up to the heavens?"


    Jiang Qingshou knew that his wife was definitely not a good person. The two of them made up their minds and fell into a deep sleep.


    The next day, Jin Xiaoyan got up early and called for her older brother and sister-in-law to come and help. Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Qingshu called out to her.


    "I thought about it. If this sort of news comes from our house, then that shopkeeper won''t let us off so easily. Rumors spread as fast as possible!" As long as we spread the news a little, would you be afraid that Shopkeeper Qian''s wife wouldn''t know? "


    There were a lot of people idling around in this market, so the most common topic was gossip. Everyone was willing to talk about other people''s business if they had nothing to do.


    This time, Jiang Qingshu was planning on letting Shopkeeper Qian have a taste of being in a mess. He wanted him to do something wicked like this, because a few sausages had cut off their friendship for so many years.


    "Qing Shou, you''re right this time. If you really go, it will be rude." We don''t have to do it. "


    "Forget it. If that really happened to her, Jin Weiwei, then this shop definitely wouldn''t be able to sit still in the county." "In the future, even if she really starts to argue, she can''t blame anyone else. Who told her to steal the men herself?"


    If Jin Weiwei had really done such a shameful thing, she naturally wouldn''t be afraid of no one taking care of her. There were only seven younger sisters in the Qian family. Just a single spit was enough to drown her to death.


    Therefore, they didn''t need to do anything now. They could only calmly wait for this good show to arrive.


    In any case, it wasn''t as if they hadn''t seen storekeeper Qian''s wife throw a tantrum.


    "Let''s just wait and see. This fool is a fool. Even if he''s smart, he wouldn''t be able to threaten us. You think you can turn the tables just because you''re smart and earn a few dollars? "


    The reason they were so at ease was because they were too used to seeing Jin Weiwei''s tiger-like appearance. They simply didn''t believe that a chicken could become a phoenix.


    Therefore, in the eyes of Jin Xiaoyan and Jiang Qingshu, chickens were chickens for the rest of their lives, ever since they were born.

    After Jin Weiwei came out from Manager Qian''s, she kept thinking about what happened in the temple that day. The more she thought about it, the weirder it felt.


    The last time, Jin Dabao didn''t explain clearly about the money. He only said that her mother left these silver taels for her, but why did she only leave them for her?


    Moreover, her mother was only a village woman, so how could she have so much money? This was extremely strange.


    "What''s wrong?"


    On the way, little Fugui saw that Jin Weiwei was deep in thought and didn''t take it seriously at the start. However, it wasn''t her style to almost walk past her house.


    Only then did Jin Weiwei come back to her senses. She glanced at the little rich girl beside her, not knowing where to start.


    "It''s nothing, but I''m just thinking about the strange things in the temple."


    "What do you think is strange?" Little Fugui asked again.


    Normally, little rich kids wouldn''t talk so much, so Jin Weiwei told him what she thought.


    Apart from the two of them, Jin Weiwei had no idea who else she could talk to. She looked around. Ever since she arrived in this world, there had been no one who was familiar with her other than the little rich kid she first saw.


    If Jin Dabao''s family wasn''t rich, even if they opened a butcher''s shop in the village, they might not be able to save up enough money to take a widow.


    She truly felt it was strange, especially after hearing Jin Dabao''s words. Her mother was already a deity, how could she leave behind so much silver? How could she dig it out every year? Who was that fat monk in the temple forest?


    At night, the sound of insects came one after another. The village was now extremely quiet. The two of them walked into the house one after the other. At that time, the candles in the woodshed had not been extinguished yet.


    "Maybe he did."


    The moment they entered the room, little Fugui suddenly said this and gave Jin Weiwei another cup of tea. As his eyes met hers, he hooked his eyes at the woodshed.


    Jin Weiwei had always been a smart girl, so she immediately understood what little rich child meant by this.


    In the end, only those who had experienced what had happened in the past would know. No matter how they thought about it, they were only guessing.


    Therefore, if he wanted to know all of this, he would have to start from Jin Dabao, this rich old master.


    "Look at how I have to talk to my father!"


    Jin Weiwei drank all the hot tea in her hand in one gulp. Then, she walked out of the main room where she slept with the little rich kid and strode towards the firewood house at the side.


    "Are you sleeping?"


    Jin Weiwei first knocked on the door of the woodshed, and when she saw the lights suddenly go out, she knew that Jin Dabao must have purposely stopped wanting to see her.


    "Jin Dabao, do you think I''m as stupid as I used to be? You just blew out the candle, and the light just disappeared. Hurry up and open the door, I have something important to ask you! "


    Jin Weiwei originally wanted to have a chat with Jin Dabao, but seeing him like this, she lost her patience.


    If it were not for the fact that Jin Dabao did not complete the mission given by his second sister and was afraid that his second brother-in-law would scold him when he returned, he would have refused to stay here for a long time.


    However, since Jin Weiwei had already seen through it, she could only bitterly open the door.


    "It''s already so late, what can''t you tell me tomorrow? I don''t know if I''m feeling well, but do I need to rest? "


    When Jin Dabao opened his mouth, he immediately expressed the unhappiness in his heart. Although he was limping, his eloquence was extremely quick.


    "I don''t care, I have something to ask you right now. When I went to the temple this morning, I still didn''t understand, after coming back and thinking about it, my mother is just a woman. According to what you mean, she has been saving money for me all these years, so where did she get all this money from?"


    Jin Weiwei tried hard to recall the memories of her childhood with her mother, but she couldn''t think of anything for a long time. It was probably because her mother died soon after she was born, so the two of them didn''t have any interaction at all.


    In the past, she had looked stupid and didn''t want to investigate her background. But now that she had returned to normal, even if she wasn''t her original body, it was only right for her to know about her background.


    Besides, she had already disliked this Jin Dabao a long time ago!


    Jin Dabao frowned. Actually, he knew that this girl came for such a long time.


    He didn''t want to talk about the past because there was no longer a need.


    However, Jin Weiwei had a menacing look on her face, as if he was the murderer of her mother. If it was before, he would have just coaxed her a few times, but now it wasn''t that easy to coax her ¡­


    "What''s the use of talking about it now that all of this is over? I actually feel that the most important thing is to properly clean up the butcher shop and honor me. "Girl, why don''t you understand what''s going on?"


    He deliberately tried to evade her words because he didn''t want to make things clear, but Jin Weiwei didn''t stop at all.


    "Reason? Why didn''t you think of me as your daughter when you ran off with the widow last year and left me here? I''m actually suspicious right now, but if my mother died without a clear cause of death, then it''s possible that you were the one who caused her death! "


    Jin Weiwei''s words weren''t without proof. Although the silver was left for her, she didn''t get a single point in the past few years. All the money was given to her by Jin Dabao.


    Maybe it was a murder plot that had been going on for a long time, and it was definitely not that simple!


    When Jin Dabao heard this, his complexion greatly changed. Jin Weiwei was not someone to be trifled with right now. Moreover, she had come looking for him so brazenly. Could it be that she had discovered some clues regarding her background?


    "What do you mean? Even if I do something wrong, I still wouldn''t kill your mother, right? "


    Jin Dabao spoke stubbornly. He pinched his waist and looked like a shrew in the countryside.


    However, Jin Weiwei continued to stare at Jin Dabao. "It''s not impossible!" Perhaps you have already thought of a widow who wanted to elope with her, and who would have thought that my mother would be so blind as to immediately settle the matter! "


    "You! You damned girl, what nonsense are you spouting? Of course I wouldn''t do such a heinous thing, do you believe me or not! "


    "Since you didn''t kill my mother, why aren''t you willing to tell me what happened that year? I have grown up too, I have the right to know about my mother''s matters! "


    Jin Dabao sighed. This Jin Weiwei kept pestering him. If he didn''t say anything now, he was afraid that this damned girl would torture him until he couldn''t sleep.


    Besides, he was really afraid of this little girl. With so many evil thoughts running through his mind, with the two strong bodyguards, Little Fugui and Tao Xiaoqing, beside him, throwing him into the ravine at night, he was afraid that he would not be able to do anything.


    "Good!" Since you want to know about what happened that year so badly, I will just tell you everything. Otherwise, you will come and find me again in the future, and then you will complain about how I didn''t tell you about my origins! "

 C64

    It was just after midnight, and the night was already the deepest. The sky seemed to have been painted with a pool of thick ink, and there were not even a few stars to be seen.


    At this time, every village in Xingtian Village had long fallen into a deep sleep. Only the father and daughter of the Jin family were still fighting in the courtyard.


    Xiao Fugui heard Jin Dabao''s angry roar and put on some clothes. Leaning on the door frame, he looked at the two people not far away.


    The wind blew through the hundred year old trees of the village, causing them to rustle. After all, the autumn weather was gradually turning colder.


    "It''s best if you think that way, because you have to say it today. Even if you don''t say it, I''ll force you to say it!"


    Jin Weiwei stood at the door of the wood house and looked at Jin Dabao, who was sitting on the doorframe.


    She really wasn''t joking. Tomorrow would come and she was young. Naturally, she wasn''t afraid of spending the entire night here.


    Jin Dabao was going all out today. He didn''t want to talk about it now, but his future life would be even more miserable. After all, this damned girl had not only recovered, but she was still full of ghosts and spirits.


    In that case, it would be better for him to just admit it, so that he wouldn''t suffer too much.


    "Actually, I didn''t want to tell you about those things at first, but since you''ve discovered them, if I don''t tell you now, I''m sure you''ll find out by yourself in the future and you won''t forgive me."


    At first, Jin Dabao tried to express his feelings, but at this time, Jin Weiwei didn''t want to hear any of this nonsense. "Cut the crap. Get to the point!"


    "Actually, you''re not my daughter at all!"


    Jin Dabao''s sudden change in topic surprised Jin Weiwei.


    These words were like a bolt of thunder in front of her eyes, causing her to have nowhere to dodge. Her legs became numb and she was unable to move.


    She ¡­ was actually not Jin Dabao''s biological daughter?!


    However, if she was not Jin Dabao''s daughter, then all of this could be said.


    Since she was young, Jin Dabao had never treated her as his daughter! Initially, he had treated her like trash and pushed all four of them to his first and second aunt. If it wasn''t for her diligent and hardworking attitude, she probably would have already been sold by now, right?


    So the truth was, he, Jin Dabao, was not her, Jin Weiwei''s, father!


    "From what you''re saying, who''s my dad?"


    Jin Weiwei took a deep breath, and said with incomparable rationality.


    If she didn''t have a father like Jin Dabao, she might not be happy.


    Usually, Jin Dabao was a debauchee who had nothing better to do. To be honest, she felt ashamed of having such a father, but now that she found out that they didn''t have any relationship with each other, Jin Wei was very happy.


    However, Jin Weiwei''s question was really difficult for Jin Dabao. In fact, he had been wanting to ask this question for so many years.


    However, every time he saw the fiendish look on Jin Weiwei''s mother''s face, he would stop.


    After thinking about it, he decided to bury this matter of Jin Weiwei''s mother actually knowing kung fu forever deep within his heart ¡ª that woman had used all kinds of coercion and temptations against him when she was still alive, and he had compromised in order to protect his life. But now, that woman had long since died, he didn''t want to live under her shadow for the rest of his life!


    As the words reached the tip of his tongue, he changed his way of speaking:


    "Who is your biological father? How would I know! It was an accident that your mother and I met when we were hunting in the mountains. I met you, a heavily injured mother, so I can''t just watch as you die in the wilderness. "She kept dragging me to marry her. I really can''t bear it, so I agreed ¡­"


    Jin Dabao narrated his relationship with Jin Weiwei''s mother to her. Jin Weiwei''s expression did not change because she did not believe a single one of Jin Dabao''s lies from the beginning to the end.


    He was a good young man who was brave enough to stand up for others.


    She would rather believe that a pig could climb a tree than believe Jin Dabao.


    "Really? I take it you''re interested in money? Since my mother was able to leave me such a large amount of money, she must be a wealthy person. How could I not know what you, Jin Dabao, are like? "


    Jin Dabao''s face turned red after hearing what Jin Weiwei said. He was actually a bit embarrassed after saying all of his thoughts. However, since it had already come to this, there was nothing left for him to feel awkward about.


    "You''ve been a fool since you were young, and you can''t even find a good home to support yourself. Do you think it''s that easy?"


    After saying so much, Jin Dabao only wanted to express one thing, and that was that it wasn''t easy for him to raise a fool, so it was normal for her mother to give him some benefits.


    But then again, if her mother wasn''t rich, would she, Jin Weiwei, be able to live to this day?


    "These words of yours are for my money. Could it be yours? Isn''t that all my mother''s doing?! "


    "What do you mean? Let me tell you, back then, it wasn''t me, Jin Dabao, who forced a good slave to be his slave.


    "She didn''t volunteer to let you run off with the widow with my dowry!"


    Jin Dabao was speechless.


    Jin Weiwei sneered. She clenched her fists tightly. If it wasn''t for the fact that she couldn''t finish her sentence right now, she would have slapped Jin Dabao''s face.


    "Let me ask you, what is my mother''s name and where did she come from? Tell me everything in detail!"


    This was the key question that Jin Weiwei wanted to ask today.


    Unexpectedly, Jin Dabao scratched his head: "I ¡­" "I don''t know ¡­"


    "What?!"


    "I really don''t know!" Seeing that Jin Weiwei was about to fight, Jin Dabao shouted anxiously, "I really don''t know! How many times have I asked her all these years? "He didn''t say anything!"


    "You and her husband have been together for so many years, you should at least know what her name is, right?"


    Jin Dabao''s face was full of embarrassment. He trembled and muttered, "What are you shouting about ¡­" "She said that she called herself Little Cui Er ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei: "..."


    Oh wow, needless to say, Xiao Cui''s name was definitely fake too. Only Jin Dabao, this idiot, would believe that a mysterious person like her mother would actually be called "Xiao Cui" and call her that for so many years.


    However, her mother was an extraordinary person, so how had she ended up in such a place, and why had she died here?


    Who was her mother''s true identity?


    However, it seemed that there was nothing that could be asked from Jin Dabao.


    "Let me ask you one last thing ¡ª how did my mother die?"


    Jin Dabao curled his lips. "I''ve said it many times, it was a sick death!"


    Seeing how Jin Weiwei was in complete disbelief, Jin Dabao''s mouth almost reached the door. "Why would I lie to you? Everyone in the village knows that I saved your mother and married her. You can ask ¡­." "When I rescued her, she was injured, but her body wasn''t in a good condition. After you were born, her body became even weaker. It hasn''t been a few years since she disappeared ¡­"

 C65

    "Injured? "What kind of injury?"


    "Knife, knife wound ¡­"


    Therefore, when her mother was pregnant with her for three months, she suffered a severe injury from a knife and fell down in the mountain forest. And then she was saved by Jin Dabao?


    Just why was this happening? Where did she come from? Why was she injured by a blade ¡­


    Countless questions lingered in Jin Weiwei''s mind, but at this moment, she could not find an answer.


    It seemed that even though her mother was weak and on the verge of death, she still didn''t trust Jin Dabao very much. The money she left behind was only given to her every year because she had guaranteed Jin Weiwei''s safety.


    Thinking of this, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but sigh at her mother''s painstaking efforts. She was already dead, and she was still paving the way for her silly daughter, thinking about her survival.


    However, the human heart was truly unpredictable. She didn''t expect that Jin Dabao would be so carefree and happy after taking the silver. He really didn''t even have a single conscience.


    Jin Weiwei was silent for a long time before sighing and withdrawing her thoughts.


    "Alright, let me ask you one last question."


    Jin Dabao was stunned, "Ah? "Why is there a problem ¡­"


    "Cut the crap!" Jin Weiwei was annoyed. "Let me ask you, since young, did my two cheap aunts know about this matter?"


    Jin Weiwei''s face turned ashen. Jin Dabao did not dare to be negligent and hastily waved his hand.


    "No, no, no. Only I know about your mother''s matter and they don''t know about it ¡­" Besides, would I, Jin Dabao, foolishly announce something so shameful? Am I stupid? "It''s still a matter of carelessness ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei finally understood. Jin Dabao did mind her mother giving him a daughter that was not his own.


    However, she had originally thought that Jin Xiaoyan and her sister didn''t like her because of this matter, but she didn''t expect that to be the case. It seemed that the Jin family really didn''t care about kinship at all.


    Jin Weiwei waved her hand. "Alright, I know your Jin family doesn''t have any good things left. Forget it, it''s meaningless to talk so much now. You should pack up and get ready to get out of here!"


    "You, what did you say? "Jin Weiwei, you can''t just tear the bridge after crossing the river. Although the two of us don''t have any relationship with each other, you shouldn''t just kick me out, right? Even the neighbors saw and lost their face in front of their doors!"


    When Jin Dabao heard Jin Weiwei''s words, he became extremely flustered. If he left the Jin family today, he would be homeless.


    But at this moment, Jin Weiwei had mixed feelings. This Jin Dabao was especially inconvenient to her eyes, so how could she listen to his words?


    "Little Fugui, quickly come over and kick Jin Dabao out!"


    Although little Fugui didn''t say a word, he did most of what he heard. Now that he heard Jin Weiwei''s words, he immediately took out all of the things in the woodshed and prepared to throw them out.


    "Jin Weiwei, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to kick me out?"


    At this moment, Jin Dabao could no longer sit still, and his legs suddenly became nimble. He had wanted to snatch the bundle from the hands of the rich son, but instead, like a chick, he was thrown out in front of him.


    "Yes, that''s what I mean. You''re not my father anyway, and we''re not related by blood. It wouldn''t be unfilial for me to throw you into the mountains!"


    Now that she thought about it, in the past, those people in the village would have liked to talk about her filial piety the most, but no one knew the true face of Jin Dabao.


    She really wanted to put a sign on Jin Dabao''s body to show off to the public, but when she thought about it in the end, it was better to avoid trouble. After all, she still had a lot of things to do.


    "You don''t understand?"


    Seeing that he still didn''t react, Xiao Fugui walked over and looked down at him. What Jin Dabao feared the most wasn''t Jin Weiwei''s sharp tongue, but Xiao Fugui''s punches and kicks.


    "You ¡­ Although I''m not your father, you can''t just kick me out, right? Don''t forget that the Jin family and the butcher''s shop belong to me, Jin Dabao! " Jin Dabao thought for a while before gritting his teeth.


    This place, this room, was left to him by his father. If it wasn''t for him and the widow running away, there wouldn''t have been a chance for Jin Weiwei to behave atrociously. Why should he leave?


    Xiao Fugui looked back at Jin Weiwei. Jin Dabao wasn''t completely unreasonable when he said this.


    After all, this house was originally the Jin family''s residence. Although they could occupy it now, the house deed was in Jin Dabao''s hands, even the butcher''s shop.


    "Sure, I was waiting for me here!"


    When Jin Dabao heard this, he became even more confident.


    "Jin Weiwei, let''s not talk about anything else. Have I raised you for all these years?" It''s fine if you don''t want to acknowledge me as your father, but you actually want to occupy my house.


    "Shut up!" Xiao Fugui suddenly cut in. What he didn''t want to hear was someone saying that Jin Weiwei was wrong.


    When Jin Dabao saw the look on Xiao Fugui''s face, although he was a little scared, he still muttered, "What does our family''s matters have to do with you? A little beggar actually thinks himself to be a dish!"


    "Jin Dabao, if you say it again, you will immediately get out of here. He is my husband. As for you, who do you think you are?"


    Jin Weiwei''s gaze turned cold as she glared at Jin Dabao.


    "Did I say something wrong? How do you know that he is a good person? I''m telling you, I don''t care who you want to be with, but this house belongs to me, Jin Dabao! "


    "Say it again? Whose? "


    Jin Weiwei walked in front of him and waved her fist, indicating that if he still didn''t give up, this punch would hit his body.


    Jin Dabao''s entire body was covered with injuries. If he were to be beaten up like this, he would probably die early.


    "Yours... It''s all yours! Weiwei, you said that it wasn''t easy for me either, so you should just leave Daddy a way out ¡­ I promise I won''t cause any more trouble. " As Jin Dabao spoke, he switched to a sobbing tone.


    To be able to use both hard and soft techniques at the same time, he was truly proficient at it.


    After thinking it over, Jin Weiwei still felt that this matter really had to be planned thoroughly, so she glanced at little rich and rich son, hinting him to put the package back in the woodshed.


    "Today, I let you stay here for the sake of the butcher''s shop and the house. From now on, you can have some snacks and help me in the shop. You''re not allowed to have any ulterior motives!"


    "Ah, there''s still work to be done ¡­"


    "Words of nonsense again. Carry that thing and get out of here. Go wherever you like!"


    After saying that, Jin Weiwei pulled little Fugui into the room.


    At this moment, the sky had already brightened up. The big cocks next door had already crowed several times. The night was truly exhausting, making her worry even more.


    "Little Fugui, tell me, is Jin Dabao lying to me?"


    Jin Weiwei took off her shoes and got ready to go to the butcher''s shop.

 C66

    Xiao Fugui took two sausages from the kitchen, cut them into pieces and handed them over to Jin Weiwei. "A cushion."


    Only then did Jin Weiwei let out a small smile.


    "It''s better if you treat me well, thank you!"


    Little Fugui then said, "Ask the villagers, maybe they''ll know."


    Jin Weiwei was stunned ¡­ That''s right, didn''t Jin Dabao just say that many people in the village knew about what had happened to her mother.


    Everyone here was an old customer of the Jin family''s butcher''s shop, and was also an old resident of Xing Tian Village. Everyone in the village was an old customer of the Jin family''s butcher''s shop, and was also an old resident of Xing Tian Village.


    As the autumn harvest was about to arrive, the families got up early. Jin Weiwei left the house first, intending to visit the Village Head and a few of her elders.


    Jin Weiwei originally wanted to go to the Village Head''s house, but coincidentally, she met a group of village elders under the old locust tree at the village entrance. This saved a lot of effort.


    "Village Head Grandpa, Grandma Liu, Second Aunt Guo, you woke up early today."


    Jin Weiwei walked under the locust tree and greeted everyone cordially.


    The Village Chief actually quite liked this Jin Weiwei. Ever since she was no longer a fool, she felt a lot more quick-witted and particularly likeable.


    "Weiwei, what, are you going to the butcher''s shop so early in the morning?" Why didn''t I see your wife come with you? "


    "Didn''t the pork sell out yesterday? I told him to go pig slaughtering."


    After talking about where the little rich kid went, Jin Weiwei paused, and then spoke again, "Actually, today I wanted to ask some old people in the village about some things. I don''t know ¡­ Do you know anything about my mother? "


    Hearing Jin Weiwei''s words, Second Aunt Guo was the first to speak. "Girl, why did you think of asking your mother?"


    Jin Weiwei pursed her lips and sighed. "Isn''t this the day of my mother''s death?"


    Hearing Jin Weiwei mention her mother, the one with the biggest reaction was Second Aunt Guo. She looked sad, went up and held Jin Weiwei''s hand, then said, "Actually, we don''t know too much, otherwise, it''s like this. Tell us what you want to ask. Second Aunt, do you know anything?"


    "Second Aunt, that''s really great. I want to know how my mother came to our village."


    "Actually, your mother came later, but we don''t know exactly how she did it. It''s just that once your father came up the mountain, he brought your mother back home, and they even got married. We''ve been curious about her for a long time, so where did she get this girl ¡­"


    "Then when did my mother give birth to me? Why did she suddenly die?"


    Second Aunt smacked her lips, "I don''t remember the exact time, it must have been seven or eight months. We asked if your father had a relationship with your mother in the past, but your father didn''t say anything. It''s a pity that this girl died not long after giving birth to you." After that, your father immediately found a stepmother for you. "Ai, speaking of this, your life is really bitter ¡­"


    Second Aunt even wiped away two drops of tears. "Speaking of your mother, she''s a good person. Every time she goes to the butcher''s shop, she weighs him up ¡­" However, when I got sick later on, I saw very little. "


    "That aunt, is my mother called Xiao Cui?"


    Second Aunt shook her head, "Your dad never mentioned it, and we really don''t know what it''s called. If you want to know, you can ask your dad."


    After hearing this, Jin Weiwei completely believed Jin Dabao. It seemed that Jin Dabao really wasn''t lying to her this time.


    After exchanging a few more words with everyone, Jin Weiwei said that she wanted to go to the butcher''s shop and bid everyone farewell.


    After dinner, when the little rich kid cleaned up the dishes, Jin Weiwei started to order the silver from the butcher''s shop.


    This butcher''s shop''s business was indeed flourishing, and the amount of money they had was also increasing. Logically speaking, they should be happy about something, but Jin Weiwei didn''t know where to put the money.


    The most important thing was that she had not hidden the money she had dug out from the forest last time. She had been thinking about it since the morning and planned to enter that space again tonight.


    He didn''t know if the pomegranate from last time had any results. When she thought of this, Jin Weiwei started to look forward to it.


    "Why aren''t you sleeping?"


    Just as Xiao Fugui finished cleaning up the table, he saw that Jin Weiwei was still sitting there motionlessly, so he knocked on the table.


    Only then did Jin Weiwei come back to her senses. "I''m writing down the accounts, and I haven''t finished counting yet. Go to sleep first. I''ll clean up later and then I''ll go to sleep."


    After comforting the little rich and wealthy child, Jin Weiwei went to her own bedroom. She lay down by the door to see that little rich boy had already begun to make the kang, then leaned against the wall and chanted the incantation that was so familiar to her heart.


    Very quickly, the magical door appeared once more, and she immediately dove in.


    It was already late at night outside the door, but the sky was still clear inside. Every time she came here, she would feel relaxed and happy.


    However, what surprised her the most was that the pomegranate tree had already blossomed and bear fruit!


    Jin Weiwei walked up and picked up a pomegranate from under the pomegranate tree. She gently opened it. The inside of the pomegranate was plump and compact, melting immediately upon entering the mouth. It was even better than the pomegranate outside.


    This leaf could grow into a giant ginseng tree. From this, it could be seen that this space could not only grow, but it could also grow crops.


    The last time she had planned to come in the next day to check on the pomegranate tree, she had wasted so many days, so when did the fruit come out?


    Seeing the space expanding day by day, she suddenly had a conjecture. After a few hours, the tree would have fully grown. It was very likely that the pomegranate tree would flower and bear fruit overnight.


    So if you put other crops in, can you also grow faster?


    The more Jin Weiwei thought about it, the more excited she became. She quickly put the money in the original place, and when it was dark, she dug out another bowl of rice and sprinkled it on the grass.


    After arranging everything in the space, she finally went back to sleep in peace. When she reached the room, little Fugui was already asleep, so she didn''t notice at all.


    The next morning, Jin Dabao was called over by Xiao Fugui for dinner.


    Jin Weiwei was worried about Jin Dabao as well. He wanted to give him a final warning.


    After all, Tao Xiaoqing was one of her capable subordinates. If he was bullied by Jin Dabao, she would absolutely not tolerate it.


    Jin Weiwei served him breakfast. Just as Jin Dabao was about to pick up the steamed bun, Jin Weiwei slapped his hand with her chopsticks.


    "What do you mean, you want me to come or not?"


    "It''s not that I don''t want you to eat, it''s that I have something to say to you before we start eating."


    Actually, Jin Dabao could also guess what Jin Weiwei wanted to say to him. After all, they were going to the county city immediately.


    "Jin Dabao, I won''t say too much. Work hard at home and stop being useless. Otherwise, wait for me to come back and take care of you." After saying that, Jin Weiwei handed him a steamed bun as a warning.


    After they finished eating, Jin Weiwei sent Jin Dabao to the butcher''s shop. The two of them packed up the dishes and prepared to go to the county. However, just as they reached the entrance, little Fugui stopped them.


    "Wait."

    "What''s wrong?" What did you forget? "


    Jin Weiwei looked at Xiao Fugui with a puzzled expression, but he didn''t say anything. He just took a leaf from under the locust tree in the yard and placed it under the gap in the door of their room.


    Jin Weiwei understood immediately. The reason why little rich and rich did this was to guard against Jin Dabao. If he didn''t steal money when no one was around, he would know immediately.


    Although Jin Dabao was honest now, his temper was too bad. This leaf, the little rich kid also wanted to test Jin Dabao.


    See if he''s being honest or if he''s just pretending.


    After noon, there were fewer people buying meat.


    Because Jin Weiwei and the little rich kid went to the county town, the sausages were sold for only an hour. After all, there were too many wolves and not enough meat to sell, so Jin Weiwei came up with this plan.


    They were still thinking about the sausages, so they sold them out instantly.


    However, since Jin Weiwei wasn''t around, Jin Dabao naturally wouldn''t let Tao Xiaoqing eat his meal. Fortunately, she had already planned to leave some dry rations for him.


    "That... I want to shit, you keep an eye on it. "


    When Jin Dabao saw Tao Xiaoqing coming out from inside, he immediately covered his stomach, pretending to have a stomachache. As a young man, Tao Xiaoqing naturally wouldn''t mind.


    After leaving the shop, Jin Dabao jogged home.


    When Jin Weiwei opened her shop, where did the money come from? No one had gotten that money from her mother. Did she have her own little treasury?


    Thinking of this, Jin Dabao clenched his teeth in anger. This damned girl was coaxing her to eat and wear clothes, and she even stole money from her family! What a filial daughter!


    Since the Jin family had opened a butcher''s shop, they usually went to the Jin family butcher''s shop to look for someone, so there were very few neighbors who came to the house.


    "This damned girl, how could the butcher earn so much silver?"


    Jin Dabao searched everywhere for money, but he had been busy all day, both inside and outside. Not only was there not a single cent, but he was also exhausted.


    Did she hide the money somewhere else?


    He carefully put everything back and went to the kitchen. In the end, he even searched the latrine in the yard, but he still couldn''t find anything. Jin Dabao could only bitterly leave.


    However, ever since he came in, he did not notice that the leaf that was placed between the doors of the room had already fallen to the ground.


    * *


    It took them less than half a day to reach the county town, and it was already noon by the time they reached the Guantong Food Shop.


    When Shopkeeper Qian heard that Jin Weiwei was coming today, he specifically waited inside the shop. After all, Jin Weiwei had said last time that she would give him another five taels of silver after the deal was completed.


    The road was bumpy. The moment Jin Weiwei got off the car, she clenched her teeth and rubbed her butt. This little rich kid was not at all steady. He had found such a stupid donkey.


    "Still painful? I''ll massage it for you? "


    Jin Weiwei refused without any hesitation.


    The butt of a girl that he could touch just like that?


    "Oh, Lady Jin, you''re finally here!" But since I told you that the shop is already rented, isn''t it more than two days? If you don''t come in these two days, you''ll lose two days'' rent. You can''t just ignore this small profit because of your good business. "


    Shopkeeper Qian had been doing business for a long time, so he was naturally more sensitive to money. Honestly speaking, he also didn''t want to rush over for a few taels of silver, but he had a family and children, so he couldn''t afford to be lazy. Therefore, he also felt very sorry for Jin Wei these past few days.


    Jin Weiwei''s butt was still hurting. She walked leisurely to the shopkeeper and let out a hollow laugh, "Didn''t you just tell me you were coming here after you gave me the orders? I heard that storekeeper Qian has already found a shop for me. Today, I''ll go and take a look at the shop."


    "Miss Jin, you can rest assured. If it''s not me bragging, I''ll find a shop for you. That is definitely the best one with a radius of a few dozen miles!" The most important thing is, as long as your meat is spread out there, it will definitely be able to suppress your second uncle. "


    Sure enough, upon hearing this, Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up. "Are you speaking the truth?"


    "Of course! "Miss Jin, we are partners, how can I lie to you?"


    The place he found for Jin Weiwei wasn''t too far away, but it was still three streets away from his Qualcomm Restaurant. Naturally, shopkeeper Qian would calculate things, and even though he had already bought all the sausages from the Jin family butcher, Jin Weiwei had also sold them herself.


    Before long, the group of people arrived at the entrance of the shop.


    Jin Weiwei looked at the shop in front of her. There were really all sorts of feelings mixed within her heart. It had been a while since she had coincidentally come here. If it was in the modern world, she could be called a strong woman!


    The signboard of the shop had long since been removed, and Jin Weiwei had already made up her mind to hang the words Jin family''s butcher shop on the door. She raised her hand and pointed to the signboard, telling little Fugui about it.


    He walked into the shop and looked around. The empty shop needed decorations and decorations, so it didn''t look too good now. Once he was done packing, it would definitely be good. Jin Weiwei was very satisfied with this shop.


    "How about it, Miss Jin? I''ll find you a place like this, it''s definitely the best spot ¡­"


    Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sharp female voice.


    "Qian Tieniu!" Get the hell out here! "


    Following the sound, a black cloth shoe accurately landed on the shopkeeper''s face ¡ª


    Pow!


    Jin Weiwei was shocked. She turned around and saw a big and tall woman standing in front of the door with her hands on her hips, her face filled with anger.


    Behind her were a few burly women, each of them extremely ferocious.


    "Cui Hua, why are you here ¡­"


    Although Shopkeeper Qian looked smart in front of everyone, when he saw the green flower, he immediately became terrified.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but be surprised. This woman, who was she?


    "Qian Tieniu, you still have the nerve to mention me?" I think you have already forgotten about me. Which slut is hiding inside? If you have the guts, come out. Don''t hide it! "Sisters, go inside and search!"


    Shen Cui Hua gave the order, and the rest of the ladies immediately rushed into the shop.


    Before Jin Weiwei could stop them, the two women who had rushed in already started smashing things.


    Crack! Crack! Crash! Sounds of things falling came up one after another, attracting the attention of the nearby neighbors.


    "Hey, did you rent out this store?"


    "Yeah, but why is there a war right after renting it out?"


    "Look, isn''t that the restaurant''s shopkeeper Qian from the Qualcomm Restaurant?"


    Right, isn''t this his wife, Shen Cui Hua? What are you doing here? "


    "Yo, it can''t be caught red-handed, right? "I can see that there''s a young lady inside. She looks quite pretty ¡­"

 C68

    As the surrounding crowd discussed, most of the broken items left behind by the previous tenant had already been smashed by the women.


    Although Jin Weiwei hadn''t intended to take these things, they were already her territory. How could she be willing to let them be wasted like this?


    Seeing that Owner Qian was frozen on the spot, Jin Weiwei could only glare at him and stand out.


    "I say, big sister, this shop belongs to me. What right do you have to bring people here to search it?"


    "You said this shop is yours?" So you are that little b * tch! I''m looking for you! "Sisters, destroy the store for me and let Qian Tieniu steal from me. Today, I will let them know just how powerful I, Shen Cui Hua, am!"


    When these words came out, the crowd became even more excited and started to heckle one after another. It was as if Jin Weiwei really did hook up with Shopkeeper Qian.


    When the women heard this, they immediately became more interested. Seeing that all the things in the shop were gone, they even wanted to smash the counter next to the door.


    Jin Weiwei''s breathing suddenly halted.


    That was the real Water Curtain Willow counter! There was also 80% chance of success. Manager Qian had just introduced it.


    "Quickly stop!"


    Jin Weiwei rushed over and reached out her hand to pull him away, but who knew that the quiet little rich kid was the first to arrive. Before Jin Weiwei could see clearly, the little rich kid had already rushed over and blocked the way in front of the counter.


    Xiao Fugui was a man after all. He was tall and big, and it was obvious that he was angry. He stood in front of the counter and looked at the women with his deep eyes. The women immediately stopped moving.


    ¡ª This man, he looks like a pretty boy, but his eyes are so scary?


    They were clearly the ones who were in the right. How could they let him look at them like this?


    For a time, the noisy hall fell silent.


    Seeing that she had protected the precious counter, Jin Weiwei immediately felt relieved. She looked at the women, then looked at the angry girl called Cui Hua and smacked her lips.


    It was very obvious that this elder sister was here to catch the traitor, but who was it that she wanted to capture?


    Jin Weiwei looked around and touched her own face ¡ª could it really be her?


    This was a great injustice.


    "This big sis ¡­"


    Just as Jin Weiwei was about to speak, Manager Qian, who had been beaten senseless by the soles of his shoes, finally came back to his senses. He shouted,


    "Cui Hua, why did you smash my shop!? "Listen to me ¡­"


    "I don''t want to hear it!"


    "We have to listen even if we don''t want to! What are you making a fool of yourself in the middle of the day! " Shopkeeper Qian roared and turned to Jin Weiwei with an obsequious smile. "This is my wife. I''m sorry ¡­" You guys watch first, I''ll go out and talk to her. "


    "What did you say? I saw it all. What else do you have to say for yourself?!" Qian Tieniu, do you know that this is broad daylight? "In the middle of the day, you just ¡­ hmm ¡­"


    The woman wanted to say more, but was stopped by the shopkeeper, "Stop talking nonsense!"


    The crowd outside grew larger and larger, if this continued, he would lose all of his face. Shopkeeper Qian wanted to drag Shen Cui out to explain everything, but he was already surrounded by people outside.


    Jin Weiwei secretly held her forehead in her hands. Everything was fine, how did she end up like this? It seemed like her shop hadn''t even opened before it had already spread throughout the entire county.


    "Wait."


    Jin Weiwei suddenly called out to the two of them from behind.


    Passing by Shopkeeper Qian, she grabbed Shen Cui Hua''s hand and looked her up and down. Jin Weiwei suddenly clicked her tongue in admiration and said:


    "You should be the wife of Shopkeeper Qian, right?" We always heard him talk about you, but we didn''t expect that you, sister-in-law, would be as beautiful as a flower. No wonder he said you were the prettiest girl in the county! Seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary! "


    Seeing Jin Weiwei walk over, Shen Cui Hua was originally going to aim all the firepower at Jin Weiwei, but this sentence made her shocked.


    This was the first time in her life that she was praised like this. Although her looks were not bad, her man was the most blind and stupid one. He had been married for so many years and she had never heard him praise her. Yet today she was praised so highly by a young lady, how could Shen Cui Hua not be surprised.


    These words from Jin Weiwei instantly reduced Shen Cui Hua''s anger by more than half.


    "You ¡­"


    Ah!" "My name is Jin Weiwei, and this is my husband''s little rich son. We are here to see the shop today, and a few days ago I asked Shopkeeper Qian to keep an eye on the shop in the county city. I was planning to open a butcher''s shop in the county city ¡­


    When she introduced her, she naturally could not forget about little rich and powerful son. Otherwise, how could Shen Cui Hua''s heart be at ease? Regardless of what Shopkeeper Qian said, she, Jin Weiwei, was a pure girl, so she had to be clear about this. Otherwise, her reputation would be ruined before the shop even reached the county.


    Shopkeeper Qian''s face was also full of grievance as he carefully looked at Shen Cui Hua. Perhaps others did not know what kind of person Shen Cui Hua was, but he did.


    After all these years, he had suffered a lot when he tried to marry into the Shen family, not to mention that he did not even have the guts to try and find a girl. Even if he were to glance at a girl on the streets, he would definitely be scolded by Shen Cui Hua when he returns.


    However, this was after all, a matter between the two of them, so it would be hard for him to tell others. But who would have thought that this woman would actually find a shop to sell to? This would ruin his business.


    After Jin Weiwei explained it this way, Shen Cui Hua realized that she misunderstood them and her face immediately blushed.


    "So that''s how it is ¡­"


    "That''s right, Sister Qian. I wouldn''t dare to lie." Since his family already has such a beautiful wife like you, how could Manager Qian go find someone else? Sister-in-law, you''re thinking too much today ¡­ "


    Jin Weiwei''s mouth was extremely sweet, making Shen Cui Hua immediately rejoice. When she thought about the injustice she had done, she felt even more ashamed.


    "Miss, I didn''t get it, but I heard the gossip of other people and found this place to cause trouble. This is my fault, I''ll apologize for you first ¡­" As Shen Cui Hua said this, she actually bowed towards Jin Weiwei, "When I go back, I will definitely investigate. If I find out who spread it, I will definitely not forgive him!"


    Seeing Shen Cui Hua''s apologetic face and her sincere apologizing attitude, Jin Weiwei could not help but sigh in her heart. Although this Shopkeeper Qian''s wife had a fiery temper, she was still a good person.


    "Sister-in-law Qian, don''t say it like that. It''s all because of me and Manager Qian. I forgot to tell you about this matter."


    Suddenly, she stretched out her hand and pulled at Jin Weiwei. "Since it''s my fault, I''ll come to the food shop after I''ve finished looking at the shop. I''ll personally cook a table to apologize to you!"


    Manager Qian stood to the side and stared blankly at the two women in front of him.

 C69

    How could this woman say that there was a conflict between them? How could she say that there was no conflict? Just a moment ago, he wanted the mountains to collapse and the earth to shatter. But now, he could resolve it so easily?


    The group of women''s support team that Shen Cui Hua brought was also very confused. Originally they thought it would be an annual drama of the hands tearing the bitch apart, but in the end it had turned into a story about sisters being good friends. It was quite awkward for them to stand here.


    "Heh, as long as the matter is settled, then we''ll be leaving first. Flower, we''ll come back to your house another day to find you!" After leaving their message, the women turned around and left.


    "Flower, then let''s just forget about it?"


    Shen Cui Hua smiled shyly: "Don''t worry about it, do you want people to laugh at me?"


    The surrounding crowd also burst into laughter.


    "So it was a misunderstanding."


    "Disperse, disperse. Don''t surround them here, it will affect their business ¡­"


    Before long, the crowd dispersed, leaving Shopkeeper Qian and Jin Weiwei alone in the shop.


    Xiao Fugui silently went to pack up the items that were smashed apart a moment ago. Jin Weiwei and Shen Cui Hua were already holding hands, happily chatting with each other as if they were good friends for many years.


    After talking for a while, Jin Weiwei''s eyes suddenly lit up.


    "Sister-in-law, I really like your clear personality. How about we just become sworn brothers here?" "From now on, you are my big sister!"


    Shen Cui Hua did not hesitate to clap: "That''s great!"


    The two quickly reached an agreement. Coincidentally, when the shopkeeper left, he left behind the God of War, Jin Weiwei, and Shen Cui Hua. She pulled Shen Cui Hua to the God of Fortune, "Sis, let''s become sworn brothers, and hope that our sisters'' relationship is higher than the heavens. Our family''s business is getting better and better!"


    "Alright, then let''s hurry up and bow down. From now on, you are my sister, and anyone who dares to bully you in the county, just mention my, Shen Cui Hua''s, name. I will definitely be a good person in Lin Shui county!"


    After saying that, the two ladies kneeled down in front of Guan Gong Dian.


    "Master Guan, I, Jin Weiwei, will become sworn sisters with Shen Cui Hua from today onwards. From now on, we will share the same blessings and difficulties!"


    "Master Guan, Master Guan, I, Shen Cui Hua, do not know how to talk, I am the same as her!"


    After saying that, Shen Cui Hua did not hold back, and kowtowed three times.


    Seeing how straightforward and sincere she was, Jin Weiwei naturally did not dare to be negligent and also kowtowed.


    Thus, the two of them officially became sworn sisters.


    "Sister, sister will definitely investigate today''s matter thoroughly. Catch that chatterbox and let me know who it is. I''ll definitely beat him until all his teeth fall out!"


    Seeing Shen Cui Hua''s righteous anger, Jin Weiwei was very comforted. If it was said that she was close to Shen Cui Hua to appease her from the start, then now, she truly liked this sister.


    Jin Weiwei sighed and pretended to be heartbroken. "Sis, actually, I know who taught it to me. After all, other than them, no one else hates me so much!"


    Shen Cui Hua was completely confused by these words. Didn''t this Jin Weiwei just come to the county city to open a shop? Why would there be enemies?


    "What''s going on?" Little sister, speak slowly. Big sister will support you! "


    Without mentioning anything else, Shen Cui Hua was just being loyal, whoever dared to bully her sister, would be bullying her!


    When Keeper Qian heard this, he stepped forward and interrupted,


    "Wifey, you know what''s going on. Do you know that Jiang family butcher who supplies goods to our family? That storekeeper''s Jiang Qingshu was her second uncle. In the past, Lady Jin stayed at her second aunt''s house for a period of time. At that time, she was unpopular and was always bullied ¡­ "Afterwards, her father left her in the village and ran off on his own. She was bullied by her stepmother at such a young age, and now that she hasn''t grown up, her business is a little better, so she wants to open her own shop in the county. But that Jiang Qing isn''t happy, so she gets in trouble everywhere ¡­"


    Manager Qian explained the whole situation.


    "What?!" There was such a thing! Jiang Qingshou had always looked like a shady person. He never thought that he would actually be able to do something like this. Is he even human?! " Without waiting for Shopkeeper Qian to finish speaking, Shen Cui Hua was furious, "No, we can''t let them off!"


    "That''s why I said a few days ago that if you want to work with our butcher, you must end your relationship with Jiang Ji''s butcher ¡­ Elder sister, don''t blame me for being unreasonable. I will never forget something like this. "It''s just that this was originally my own affair, and only gave you trouble ¡­"


    "Little sister, what are you saying? Since we are family, we should naturally be closer to you." I just didn''t expect that your second aunt couple would actually do such a thing behind his back! "Come, let''s go home and have a good talk. I want to let Jiang Qingshou and his wife know that I, Shen Cui Hua, am not someone to be trifled with here!"


    Although Shen Cui Hua was a spicy person, she was also very virtuous. It was already past noon, and Shopkeeper Qian and his wife had actually already eaten. Knowing that Jin Wei and little Fugui had not eaten yet, Shen Cui Hua purposely fried a few more dishes, greeting the two of them to eat to her heart''s content.


    Since the misunderstanding was over, and she even got an older sister, Jin Weiwei was quite happy. However, she couldn''t stay any longer because today was a special day. She had more important things to do.


    "Even if you guys have to rush back, it''s already dark. Why don''t you stay for the night ¡­" Shen Cui Hua pulled Jin Weiwei''s hand and said reluctantly.


    Jin Weiwei sighed, "It''s not that I don''t want to stay, it''s just that... "Big sister, I won''t hide it from you. Today is my mother''s anniversary. I have to go back and pay my respects to her."


    Shen Cui Hua and Shopkeeper Qian were both stunned. Since it was like this, there was no way for them to keep them. They could only reluctantly send Jin Weiwei and her husband away.


    Afraid that Jin Weiwei and Shen Cui Hua were slow, Shen Cui Hua helped them rent a carriage, which was slightly faster than a donkey cart. In the evening, Jin Weiwei arrived at Xingtian Village, but didn''t enter the village, and instead went to the cemetery on the mountain not far away.


    On the way back, Jin Weiwei bought some offerings and planned to bring them to her mother''s grave when she returned. Her mother had died for so many years, yet she had never properly buried her mother. Although Jin Weiwei was not the original owner, she should still perform her filial piety for her.


    "I''ll go with you." Little Fugui suddenly pulled on her hand.


    After all, it was getting late and it was not a clean place. He was worried about letting Jin Weiwei go alone.


    "It''s okay, it''s not like I''m afraid of those ghosts or gods. I just want to have a good chat with my mother."


    "No way."


    Little Fugui reached out his hand to pick up the thing in Jin Weiwei''s hand and walked into the cemetery.


    Jin Weiwei looked at the back of the man in front of her. Suddenly, a warm feeling rose in her heart.

 C70

    The two of them went to the cemetery one after the other, and found the tomb of Jin Weiwei''s mother.


    Before she came here, Jin Weiwei thought to herself, that bastard Jin Dabao doesn''t even remember the date of her mother''s death. After all these years, she definitely hasn''t come to pay her respects to her mother, and this tomb has been neglected for so many years, it must be desolate and unrecognizable.


    What surprised the two of them was that not only was the tomb not abandoned, but it was also tidily tidied up. There was even a circle of brick roofs built around the tomb and new tombstones were put in place.


    This was completely different from the small mound in the original owner''s memory.


    If it weren''t for the fact that Jin Weiwei could read the words "Xiao Cui" on the tombstone, she would have really thought that it was someone else''s grave.


    "What''s going on?"


    Jin Weiwei put down the things in her hands and walked three rounds around this grave that didn''t fit in with the surrounding soil. Finally, she fixed her eyes on the new offerings in front of the grave.


    Jin Weiwei turned her head and met the eyes of little Fugui. Both of them revealed a puzzled expression.


    Without a doubt, they weren''t the only ones who knew that today was her mother''s day of death. Someone had already come in advance.


    Moreover, this person shouldn''t have come just this year. Otherwise, this tomb wouldn''t have been repaired so well.


    But who was he?


    What was his relationship with "Xiao Cui"?


    Jin Weiwei then thought about that fat monk from the All An Temple and the money in the forest, and felt that "Little Cui''s" life was becoming more complicated.


    However, she and little Fugui naturally didn''t have any leads on this matter at the moment. After being puzzled for a bit, they could only give up.


    Jin Weiwei knelt in front of the grave, placed the offerings down, poured another full glass of white wine, and sprinkled it around the grave.


    "Mother, I was foolish in the past and have never come to pay my respects to you. It was because my daughter was unfilial ¡­ "Don''t worry, your daughter has already grown up. She can take good care of herself. I''ve taken all the silver you gave me. I won''t let anyone snatch it away from you in the future ¡­"


    The fiery red sun gradually set as the gentle breeze caressed her face, causing her to suddenly feel somewhat sad.


    Little Fugui also knelt down beside her, kowtowing three times to his mother-in-law before helping Jin Weiwei up.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something ¡­" "Let''s go, there''s still an old man waiting for us at home."


    Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the two of them left the cemetery, walking side by side towards the village. The setting sun drew the shadows of the two people for a long time. A gust of wind blew over, and the white paper money that Jin Weiwei had left in front of the grave scattered in all directions.


    "Little Fugui, tell me, will Jin Dabao come into my room?"


    "Yes."


    Xiao Fugui answered without even thinking. Jin Dabao had never been an honest person, so naturally he had a habit of eating sh * t.


    He returned home very quickly. The door was still closed. At this time of the day, Tao Xiaoqing should still be in the butcher''s shop preparing to close.


    Jin Weiwei and little Fugui quietly entered the room. Just as they reached the door, they noticed that the leaf had already fallen onto the ground.


    The two of them looked at each other and had an idea of what to do.


    Jin Weiwei went into the room to check. Jin Dabao''s hands and feet were still considered clean. There were no traces of being searched, and no items were lost either.


    Jin Weiwei pursed her lips. "You want to steal my money? Dream on!"


    Little Fugui glanced at her with an inquiring expression on his face.


    Logically speaking, there was no place in this house where one could hide money. He didn''t know where this girl had hidden the money, but he couldn''t find it no matter how hard he searched.


    If Jin Dabao couldn''t find the silver, he must be very angry.


    After making sure that the items in the room weren''t missing, Jin Weiwei went to the kitchen without a second word. Because she had eaten at shopkeeper Qian''s house today, the son of a rich man was a bit reserved. Jin Weiwei could see that he didn''t eat much, so she quickly cooked to fill his stomach.


    "Yo!" You''re back! "


    Just as they finished their meal, Jin Dabao''s voice suddenly came from outside the door. He and Tao Xiaoqing had just returned from the butcher''s shop.


    Jin Weiwei carried the last dish onto the table with a cold expression. "Where else can I go if not back?"


    "Coming back is naturally good. After being tired for a day, I want to eat something good ¡­" He lowered his head to look at the dishes on the table and immediately became displeased, "Hai, why isn''t there even a single dish of meat? "It''s not that we''re talking about you, but that we have a butcher''s shop here. Do you have to go so far as to say that we don''t even see the slightest bit of meat or meat!?"


    It''s good that he didn''t say it, but after he said this, Jin Weiwei started to get angry as if a whip was lit on fire, "Jin Dabao, you still have the face to eat meat? Do you know what day it is today? "


    Jin Dabao was stunned, "What day?" "No matter what day it is, you can''t be so angry. What, since you didn''t manage to rent that shop, just throw some fire at me!"


    "Today is the 25th of August, and is my mother''s funeral. Eating vegetarian all day long is the most basic form of courtesy to her. As her husband, it''s fine if you don''t go to her grave. You actually want to eat meat? You''re too shameless!"


    Jin Dabao opened his mouth. He calculated, it really seemed to be the 25th of August today. This girl''s mother''s anniversary, it really seemed to be this day.


    "Then you ¡­" "Don''t you know how to talk properly? Don''t you have to be ruthless. Who are you trying to scare? If you don''t eat, then don''t eat ¡­"


    Jin Dabao knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn''t say anything and sat on the stool furthest away from Jin Weiwei.


    After the meal, none of them said anything. After they finished eating, Jin Dabao suddenly asked,


    "How about going to the county town today? Did you rent it to the shop? "


    Jin Weiwei suddenly paused for a moment as an idea suddenly popped into her mind.


    "Ai, don''t mention it anymore. It''s not as simple as renting a shop at all. It''s not as simple as you think!"


    Jin Dabao rolled his eyes. "I told you, it''s not that simple to open a shop in the county. Isn''t it good to stay in the village and sell meat there?"


    Jin Dabao honestly didn''t want to let Jin Weiwei pass, because if she did, she would definitely steal his second sister''s business. Although Jiang Qingshu didn''t want him to go back, Jin Xiaodie was his own sister after all, so their relationship must be different. He had already felt very guilty for not completing the task given to him by Jin Xiaodie. If Jin Weiwei could not go to the county city, he would be relieved.


    Jin Weiwei looked at Jin Dabao''s ugly face and silently revealed a mocking smile.


    After all that had happened, the two sisters would never raise Jin Dabao again. Jin Dabao would always follow her as a burden, how could she let him eat and drink for free every day?


    Opening a shop was a huge matter, and she, her cheap father, would definitely not pay for it.

 C71

    "To tell you the truth, I didn''t rent the shop because I didn''t have a good place, so the location of the shop is really good ¡­" "It''s just that the price is too high. I can''t take out that much at the moment ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei suddenly changed her tone. She felt wronged and even a bit tearful.


    "I already told you, you''re a girl, why are you messing around? Why did you want to open a shop in the county?" Jin Dabao frowned and smacked his lips.


    He had no interest in the matter of Jin Weiwei going to open a shop in the county. This time, Jin Weiwei had met with a setback and came back, which was what he wanted.


    Jin Weiwei shot a glance at Jin Dabao. When she saw that he, who was previously ignorant of the taste of vegetables, actually put his chopsticks on the plate and paid no attention to her crying, Jin Weiwei immediately wiped her tears.


    Mother, mother, I''m sorry, ah. I originally wanted to open a shop in the county and build the brand of the Jin family sausage, but in the future, I would like to filial respect to my father. This is great, I have no money, and my father can only follow me and endure the hardships of opening the shop ¡­


    When Jin Dabao heard that Jin Weiwei wanted to be filial to him, and that he had to suffer, he suddenly couldn''t bear it anymore. He couldn''t help but feel confused and said, "Hey girl, even if the shop fails, and we have a butcher''s shop, why are you saying that we''re almost out of food?"


    Jin Weiwei knew that Jin Dabao wouldn''t be able to sit still when she heard he had to suffer.


    "Dad, you don''t know? I-I made a bet with the food shop''s boss, Qian ¡­" I said that I wanted to open a shop next door, and even paid the gambling stake. That''s good, now I can''t take out the money, the bet is lost, the money belongs to someone else, and the butcher''s shop is about to become theirs. " Jin Weiwei wiped away her tears in grievance.


    "What?" You actually made a wager with our Jin family''s meat shop?! " When Jin Dabao heard this, he suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning. He didn''t expect that this girl would take the shop as a wager without his consent.


    This was his only road to wealth, and right now, he couldn''t wait to tear this girl into ten thousand pieces! Originally, he thought that he had become smarter just by coming back and looking at the girl. Why was he still so stupid ¡­


    He wanted to reach out his hand to hit her, but he saw Fugui standing beside Jin Weiwei and staring at him.


    He withdrew his hand, then withdrew it.


    "Dad, it''s fine even if you hit me. I thought I could rent a shop with all these years of savings, but Second Aunt told the shopkeeper about me renting a shop. I don''t know what kind of scheme she used to scam me, but you said they scammed me, so why did you do that ¡­" Tears streamed down Jin Weiwei''s face as she turned around and grabbed Jin Dabao''s hand.


    Jin Dabao looked at Jin Weiwei and asked, "What happened?" Why didn''t you rent the place this time, and it''s related to your second aunt? "


    "Father, you don''t know that Second Aunt used a scheme and that shopkeeper Qian to swindle our savings. Pu Zi is about to become theirs as well ¡­" Jin Weiwei cried again.


    Jin Dabao was very dissatisfied with how Jin Weiwei used the meat shop as the wager, but he didn''t expect that the one who took the blame was his second sister. Although he didn''t complete the task second sister gave him, but what she did was way too ruthless.


    It seemed that Jin Dabao was really only treating him as a servant of the shop. If he was finished, he could kick him right now!


    Good for you, Jiang Qingshu!


    Jin Dabao was both angry and annoyed. He slammed the table, nearly knocking it over.


    Upon seeing Jin Dabao''s expression, Jin Weiwei was secretly delighted. She shot a glance at little Fugui.


    Little Fugui timely said, "I have a way, are you willing to listen?"


    Jin Dabao immediately said, "Don''t try to be a good boy. You''re Weiwei''s husband. In any case, you can still be considered half a member of the Jin family."


    "If you sell out the store and buy a shop, you can win the bet." Little Fugui said leisurely.


    "You ¡­" Jin Dabao thought it was a good idea, but he didn''t think that he would have to sell it.


    Jin Weiwei raised her eyes to look at Jin Dabao. "Dad, I feel that what little rich and rich son said is a solution, but this Pu Zi ¡­"


    After all, this store was Jin Dabao''s name, so he had to agree to buy it in the end.


    Seeing that Jin Dabao had remained silent, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but add fuel to the fire, "If father doesn''t decide, then the day after tomorrow, shopkeeper will come to collect the store. The date of this wager is tomorrow!"


    Jin Dabao''s heart couldn''t help but tremble when he heard this. He thought for a while and finally sighed: "Fine, fine. What can we do about it? Let''s go somewhere else!"


    When Jin Weiwei saw that Jin Dabao had finally agreed, she immediately became overjoyed. She couldn''t help but smile at little Fugui, who glanced at her and signalled for her to calm down. Only then did she forcefully stop the corner of her mouth from curling up.


    "Dad, don''t worry. I''ll definitely do my job well since I''ve moved this shop into the county!" Jin Weiwei tried to comfort Jin Dabao, who was sighing on the side.


    Jin Dabao said, "Weiwei, you should have some snacks."


    "Don''t worry, I''ll definitely work hard!"


    Seeing that things were going well, Xiao Fugui signaled Tao Xiaoqing to keep the table, and everyone went back to rest.


    Although Jin Dabao promised to sell the shop, he still felt a pang of pain in his heart. He only fell asleep after tossing and turning for a long time.


    The next day, before dawn, in order to let all the people who came to sell meat see the notice that they wanted to sell meat, Jin Weiwei posted the notice of the butcher''s shop in the most conspicuous place beside the butcher''s shop.


    The first to come to buy meat was Aunt Zhang. When she saw the notice, she curiously asked, "Weiwei, this ¡­" You want to sell it in a butcher''s shop? "


    She couldn''t understand. Not to mention in this village, even in this town, Jin Weiwei''s business was top-notch. Why would she think of selling meat shops?


    Jin Weiwei glanced at Aunt Zhang, smiled and said, "Yeah, we have to move this business to the county, so this butcher''s shop can only be sold."


    Aunt Zhang quickly said, "Then ¡­" "Weiwei, you''ve left. Where can we go to eat such delicious sausages?"


    As Jin Weiwei tidied up the meat stall, she waved at Aunt Zhang and said, "Big Aunt, don''t be anxious. Our family''s sausages will still be served in this meat shop."


    Hearing Jin Weiwei''s words, Aunt Zhang relaxed. She pursed her lips and said, "I''m just afraid that I won''t be able to eat your sausages. I''ll advertise it for you now."


    "Then, I''ll thank Aunt Zhang!" Jin Weiwei quickly thanked him.


    Aunt Zhang had a big mouth in the village. With this promotional campaign, the number of people who came to Jin family''s butcher''s shop instantly increased. There were even many who came to borrow money to buy a butcher''s shop.


    Jin Weiwei looked up. A lot of people were already surrounding the butcher''s shop, holding money bags in their hands.


    "Weiwei, I heard that you want to sell your shop, so why don''t you sell your shop to me?" Old Man Li, who was talking with his mouth open, was smoking a pipe as he spoke.

 C72

    Before Jin Weiwei could reply, the surrounding people surrounded her. "Sell it to me, sell it to me. Me came first."


    "Sell it to me. Weiwei, don''t forget, we helped you before and gave you a steamed bun to eat ¡­"


    "Sell it to me! I''m your distant relative, the grandson of the third son of your father''s biological grandmother''s seventh aunt''s son!"


    This distant relative was really far!


    Jin Weiwei suddenly felt a headache. She never thought that selling this store would become such a troublesome matter.


    "Everyone, stop arguing ¡­"


    As soon as he said that, everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice. The person who spoke was none other than the village chief.


    "The Village Chief is here!"


    "Village Chief, please give us some pointers. This girl Wei is trying to sell. I came here first."


    "Village Head, the little girl and I are distant relatives ¡­"


    Everyone kept talking, and the village chief''s ears were about to explode.


    "Okay, this matter of buying the shop will end here today. This matter is extremely important. As the Village Chief, I must discuss this with little girl Wei."


    When the Village Chief said this, the others immediately quietened down. Those who wanted to buy meat didn''t leave, and those who didn''t want to buy meat also stared at Jin Weiwei.


    When Jin Weiwei heard the Village Chief''s words, she immediately felt relieved. Originally, she did not have a good idea, so she thought it would be good to have a talk with the Village Chief. She agreed first, "Ah, Village Head Grandpa, you''ve come at the right time. I was about to discuss this matter with you."


    Jin Weiwei quickly handed the butcher''s shop to Tao Xiaoqing and little Fugui and went out to welcome the village head into the courtyard.


    After bringing in a few stone stools, Jin Weiwei invited the Village Chief to sit down. She looked at him and said, "Village Head Grandpa, I really want to sell my shop in the future. Do you have any suitable people?"


    Although Jin Weiwei was still the original owner, she didn''t know much about the people in the village in her memories. Although she was selling shops, she still wanted to give the shops to reliable people so that she could go to the county without worry.


    When Jin Weiwei asked this question, the village head frowned, "This is a good shop, why are you selling it out?" Isn''t this business doing well? "


    The Village Chief did not understand why this lass wanted to sell her shop. The reputation of the Jin family meat shop was well-known even in the county.


    "Aiya, Grandpa Village Chief, I am planning to go to the county to have a look and see the world." Jin Weiwei smiled and scratched her head.


    "So that''s how it is ¡­" "I know you little girl, do you know what to do? As long as you think about it, you won''t be able to pull even eight horses over, so you want to sell your shop? Don''t you have any suitable people to choose from?" The village chief, on the other hand, was the first to probe out Jin Weiwei''s intentions.


    To be honest, although he didn''t dare to have any interest in the shop, the old woman at home heard the news and insisted he come over to take a look.


    "Village Head Grandpa, you have been here for the better part of your life. You should know who is better and who is worse. As a young girl, how would you know who is suitable?" Jin Weiwei''s words were clear, and she wanted the village head to choose a person.


    The Village Chief replied, "This is not a small matter. Your Jin family''s butcher shop has brought honor to this village. I cannot just carelessly give this butcher shop to someone else to manage. I had better go back and think about it carefully before coming here to discuss it with you."


    "Okay, then I''ll be troubling you, grandpa village chief!" Jin Weiwei stared at the village chief who was about to leave. She stood up herself and saw him out of the courtyard.


    Thus, on this first day, the butcher''s shop was too popular and did not sell.


    Jin Dabao''s heart ached as he watched the butcher fight. However, it was too late for him to regret it now that he had already said those words.


    Soon, the news spread like wildfire. Second Aunt Jin Xiaodie, who lived in the county, found out about it.


    Just as Jiang Qingshu was slurping his porridge, Jin Xiaodie slapped him across the face, causing him to stumble and almost fall off the stone bench.


    "You woman, what are you doing? What the heck is going on this early in the morning? " Jiang Qingshou frowned as he placed his chopsticks on the table.


    "You didn''t hear about it? Good news." Jin Xiaodie opened her eyes wide and glared at Jiang Qingshu.


    Jiang Qingshou smacked his lips and touched Jin Xiaodie''s forehead: "Don''t tell me you have a fever?"


    His own business had just been messed up by that damned girl, Jin Weiwei. Where did this bullshit come from?


    "Jin Weiwei is going to sell the butcher''s shop in the village!" Jin Xiaodie grabbed Jiang Qingshu''s arm.


    "Are you for real?" That girl wants to sell the meat shops in the village? " Jiang Qingshou rolled his eyes as he quickly calculated in his mind. "Like I said, where did she get so much silver from? She wants to sell the village butcher to the county to buy a butcher''s shop!"


    "What are you thinking? "Damned man!" "Seeing Jiang Qingshu laughing so foolishly, Jin Xiaodie gave him another tug." Hurry up and think of a way! "


    "This is a good opportunity. Jin Dabao has been living in our Jiang family for so many years, eating with us, living with us and even wearing us. I was the one who found this way of living. Since it''s such a big deal to sell a store, we have to find us and make a big idea. How can we let that damned girl decide? That shop should be ours by right, so even if they want to sell it, they have to sell it to us! "


    Jiang Qing Shou looked at Jin Xiao Die and said.


    "Right, right!" Hearing that, Jin Xiaodie immediately stood up, "You''re right, Dabao has been causing trouble for my sister all these years, it''s time for him to repay me!"


    As a result, the two of them made up their minds. They were going to Xingtian Village immediately to take back the butcher''s shop.


    However, since he still needed to take care of the business, Jiang Qingshou let Jin Xiaodie take care of the rare business and brought a few people to Xingtian Village.


    "You have to be careful. With that little rich kid there, you can''t act rashly." Jin Xiaodie had witnessed the capabilities of the son, so she told Jiang Qingshou over and over again.


    After Jiang Qingshou heard this, he spat on the ground, "Isn''t it just a beggar? I don''t know what bewitching technique this beggar used on that idiot Jin Weiwei, but that silly lass turned out to be someone else. She even schemed to poach us. I''ll go this time and chase that little rich kid away!"


    "Right, right, you''re right, chase away little rich kid first! I say it must be because of him, otherwise why would this girl want to come to the city? She''s never even heard of a city. " Jin Xiaodie agreed.


    "Take a good look at the store at home. I''ll chase that guy away. When everything is back to normal, the butcher''s shop will be ours!" The more Jiang Qingshu thought about it, the more excited he became. His pace was much faster than before.


    After about two hours, Jiang Qingshou arrived at Xingtian Village with his men. He found the Jin family''s store with ease and familiarity.

 C73

    There were quite a lot of people in the shop, surrounding the villagers who came out to buy meat. Jin Weiwei was standing inside the shop, and beside her stood a handsome man. The two seemed to be talking about something.


    "I''ll leave this shop to you. From now on, I''m counting on you to look after it properly."


    "Miss, don''t worry. I heard from my uncle about this. I will take good care of your shop."


    "I naturally am not worried about the person that the Village Chief is looking for!"


    It turned out that Jin Weiwei was in the process of handing over the shop to the village chief''s relatives.


    Yesterday, after the village chief returned, the village chief''s wife came to greet him. She asked him incessantly whether he had sold this butcher''s shop or not.


    The Village Chief then told him about the conversation between Jin Weiwei and himself.


    When the old woman heard this, she was overjoyed. Her nephew had always been in this line of work and had done a good job. Now that he had returned to Xingtian Village and wanted to go back to his old business, if he could take over the Jin family''s store, wouldn''t that be a good business?


    Thus, he insisted for the village chief to give the shop to his nephew.


    The village chief said this matter was decided by Jin Weiwei, so the old granny gave him a death pinch. She also questioned him, saying that Jin Ling had long given the right to take over the shop to her old man, saying that he didn''t want his nephew to take over today.


    The village chief had thought about it again and again. Although this old woman was very domineering, but her nephew was indeed a proper person to do business. It seemed that he was quite honest, so he decided to go to Jin Wei to settle this matter. Upon hearing the Village Head''s words, Jin Weiwei did not say anything else and decided on the spot to hand the meat shop over to the Village Head''s nephew.


    That was because this was a good thing for Jin Weiwei. It would be safest if the shop was handed to the village head''s family. With the village head here, nothing could go wrong with the shop.


    He then looked at the Village Head''s nephew. He felt that he was a real person the moment he brought him here. Thus, he decided to hand him over at the butcher''s shop today.


    Everything went smoothly, but halfway through, an unexpected guest appeared.


    Outside, Jiang Qingshou walked over to the butcher''s shop and heard everything clearly.


    He raised his head and saw that apart from Jin Weiwei, there were also Jin Dabao and Xiao Fugui. All of them were staring at a piece of paper on the table in the middle of the room.


    Jiang Qingshu''s heart skipped a beat. This was bad, wasn''t he about to sell the shop?


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei was about to leave a handprint on the procedure, Jiang Qingshu immediately pushed his way through the crowd, ran into the shop, and grabbed her.


    Everyone jumped in fright. It was only then did they realize that their second uncle, Jiang Qingshu, who they hadn''t seen for eight hundred years, had suddenly appeared in front of them.


    Just as Jin Dabao was about to ask, Jiang Qingshu shouted:


    "No handover! This formalities cannot be handed over! "


    "Why not? This is my family''s meat shop, who are you, suddenly jumped out, what do you mean? " Jin Weiwei shot a glance at Jiang Qingshu and shook him off.


    Naturally, she recognized Jiang Zhuzhe. Even if he turned to dust, she would recognize him, much less at this moment. She was just purposely using these words to mock him.


    She clearly remembered how much she had been troubled by this guy and Jin Xiaodie. Afterwards, the two families no longer interacted with each other and hadn''t seen each other for many years. Why did the second uncle of this county suddenly rush to his village whenever he wanted to sell his shop?


    Jiang Qingshou said coldly, "Hmph, what are you pretending for, little girl? You don''t even know who my second uncle is?" Didn''t you rob me of a big business deal two days ago? Your wings must be hard, right? If you find a wild man, your wings must be hard! "


    He wanted to catch Jin Weiwei as he spoke, but Jin Weiwei dodged quickly, so Jiang Qingshou could only grab Jin Dabao beside him, "Jin Dabao, when you go back to your daughter''s house, you won''t acknowledge me as your brother-in-law, right? "So, you''re helping those who have a different surname to destroy the Jin family''s businesses!"


    Jiang Shoushou looked like a boor, but his words were spot-on. These two sentences struck right into Jin Dabao''s heart ¨C if this meat shop was sold, wouldn''t the Jin family''s business be ruined?


    Jin Dabao''s heart skipped a beat. He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Qingshu.


    However, he suddenly remembered that if Jin Weiwei didn''t sell the meat shop, this wager would be lost to that money manager. If Jiang Qingshou owned the butcher''s shop, how depressing would it be if Jin Dabao didn''t?


    However, he had already come looking for her. Perhaps he could find his elder sister and negotiate with her on how to give him three walnuts and two dates? It was still better than nothing.


    Jin Dabao''s heart raced several times. He couldn''t help but show a hesitant expression.


    Jin Weiwei only needed a glance to know what he was planning. She narrowed her eyes and quickly asked, "Father, what are you thinking about? If you sell it and go to the city to buy it, then the shop in the city will be yours.


    Jin Dabao was stunned.


    Before, Jin Weiwei didn''t say that, she only said that she had no choice but to sell her store after losing the bet. But now, she finally understood and knew that she had to show her filial piety to this cheap father.


    If that was true, then wouldn''t he be taking a huge advantage?


    Hearing Jin Weiwei''s words, Jin Dabao''s eyes immediately lit up. He no longer wanted Jiang Qingshu to give him three walnuts and two dates. He immediately spread Jiang Qingshu''s hands and turned to Jin Wei.


    "Girl, is what you said true? "Don''t lie to me!"


    "You''re my dad, how could I lie to you?" Jin Weiwei had a serious expression on her face.


    Jin Dabao immediately clapped his hands, "Alright, then we''ll do as you say!"


    Jiang Qingshou saw Jin Weiwei capture Jin Dabao''s heart with just a few words, and immediately felt a surge of anger.


    "Jin Dabao, you''ve suffered a thousand cuts to your conscience. Are you going to compete with your daughter to steal our Jiang family''s business?"


    After saying this, he raised his hand and prepared to take Jin Dabao.


    However, just as he extended his fist, he was stopped by Xiao Fugui.


    Little Fugui didn''t seem to put in much effort, but Jiang Qingshu felt his arm ache. He quickly turned around and asked the people behind him, "Do you want to watch a show?" Hurry up and go up! "


    Those few people immediately rushed in.


    "Damn beggar, today I will let you suffer a loss. I wonder what kind of curse you have cast on this girl of the Jin family to make her treat us relatives like this!" Jiang Qingshou gnashed his teeth in pain. He had even spat out some words in anger. Today, he was determined to make this little rich kid suffer.


    In the blink of an eye, the few people that Jiang Qingshou had brought with him were all thrown out of the butcher''s shop with an unknown method by Xiao Fugui. They were all lying on the ground motionlessly.

 C74

    Everyone was stunned.


    Standing aside, the Village Head''s nephew was also scared senseless. If not for the fact that Jin Weiwei had yet to press her fingerprint on him, he would have already run away.


    Who knew that Jin Weiwei wouldn''t care at all about this scene? She glanced at the red-faced Jiang Qingshu and even giggled.


    "Come, let''s continue the handover!"


    He then pressed a large handprint on the transfer agreement.


    Jin Weiwei pressed her palm and the Village Head''s nephew knew that this would work, so he readily took out his money bag.


    Jin Weiwei was about to take the purse when Jiang Qingshu''s hand reached over. "No, no, I can''t sell it!"


    He ignored the injuries on his body and obstructed her once again, putting his life on the line.


    Seeing such a situation, the little rich kid walked up and prepared to fight again. However, he was stopped by Jin Weiwei.


    The corner of Jin Weiwei''s mouth raised into a smile. She slowly took the money bag from the Village Head''s nephew and ridiculed, "Aiyo, my second uncle. Haven''t you been beaten enough?"


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingshou suddenly pulled back his hand.


    Although he hadn''t seen the moves of the little rich kid, he had actually felt their power. That kind of martial arts wasn''t something that a country bumpkin like him could defend against with just a few strikes.


    With this wild and unruly little rich kid around, it was likely that they wouldn''t be able to get back at him today.


    But how could Jiang Qingshou be willing? Seeing that the shop was about to sell out, he gritted his teeth and was about to say something else, but was cut off by Jin Weiwei.


    "Open your eyes and take a look. I have to sell this shop today, so you might as well return home. In the future, take care of your own backyard and then come back and think about other people''s money ¡­"


    "Jin Weiwei, what do you mean by that?"


    Jin Weiwei crossed her arms in front of her chest. "It''s not interesting. I just want to say, you come here to torment other people''s shop, but I don''t know if there''s anyone who''s been tormenting your shop?" "If you go back too late, you might even lose the face of the Jiang family!"


    Jiang Qingshou''s heart skipped a beat. Although he suspected that Jin Weiwei had been creating something out of thin air, everyone could see the changes that this damned girl had made recently. He couldn''t help but be on guard.


    Besides, Qian Jinwei had already taken it and handed over the formalities. There were still rich kids guarding it, and the brothers that came with them had all suffered greatly. It was useless staying any longer. After thinking about it, he finally decided to go back and take a look.


    "Good girl, just you wait!"


    He turned around and shouted to the people on the ground, "Let''s go!"


    Not long after that, the disturbance in the village was cleared and Xingtian Village returned to its tranquil state. After Jin Weiwei and the Village Head''s nephew handed over the shop and the money, they happily went home.


    * *


    After Jiang Qingshou left with his men, he rushed home. Just as he arrived at Jiang''s shop, he saw that his shop was surrounded by a crowd of people.


    He was shocked. It seemed like what the Jin family girl said was the truth. Something really happened to his shop.


    He led his underlings and squeezed into the crowd, only then did he realize that it was Shopkeeper Qian''s wife, Shen Cui Hua, who had brought people to surround his shop.


    When the surrounding people saw that Jiang Qingshou had returned, they were immediately filled with interest. This time, the old man had led a group of people to surround the Jiang family''s shop. It was truly a lively scene in the vicinity.


    Tsk tsk, interesting.


    Although the Qian family didn''t have much power, Manager Qian was just a son-in-law who had been recruited. But that Shen Cui Hua was not someone to be trifled with, the Shen family was a big family in Linshui County, although the Qian family''s store was named Qian, but on the three streets ahead, the ten stores on the street all had the surname Shen.


    Most importantly, Shen Cui Hua had a total of eight cousins, and these eight cousins only had her little cousin, not to mention, her third and fifth uncle were well-known bullies in Lin Shui county. Back then, they were the tyrants of Lin Shui county, and no one dared to offend them.


    Furthermore, Shen Cui Hua marrying Shopkeeper Qian was a story that spread through Lin Shui county.


    Back then, Shen Cui Hua was 18 years old. Originally, the Shen family was very rich and big, and Shen Cui Hua was the apple of their eyes.


    However, she, Shen Cui Hua, was famous for her sex appeal. When she heard that she was going to the streets to buy rouge powder and then was heading home, she had a blind person coming over to take liberties with her.


    The one who flirted with her was also a street hoodlum, she was probably drunk at the time, so she did not see clearly, but she went forward and hugged Shen Cui Hua, and said ''wife''.


    Shen Cui Hua was the daughter of Huang Hua, and the gangster on the street who reeked of alcohol called her ''my wife'', she was immediately angered, and grabbed her collar and threw several over her shoulders, causing the person to immediately wake up. Seeing that it was Shen Cui Hua, she shouted for mercy.


    Shen Cui Hua was not willing to let him off until he was beaten up to the point where he could not walk upright. Before he left, she even said that if she saw him on the street, she would definitely not forgive him and it would be best if she could scram from Lishui County.


    After that person was beaten up, he was carried away by his family. After lying in bed for three months, he had a handicap in his body. From then on, he disappeared from Linshui County.


    But since then, Shen Cui Hua''s hot name had spread and her promised marriage was ruined by the battle.


    After twenty years, Shen Cui Hua was still not married, and could not help but feel annoyed. It was weird, when other women were upset, they would either be depressed, or they would just shop and buy, while Shen Cui Hua actually ate pork to solve the problem.


    Furthermore, every time he ate pork, he would have to buy it personally. After a while, he got to know the butcher, the money manager.


    Back then, Shopkeeper Qian was young. Even though he was not handsome, he looked gentle and refined. He was an honest man and Shen Cui Hua had taken a fancy to him at a glance.


    In this era, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines, but Shopkeeper Qian only has Shen Cui Hua as a wife, he did not even dare to look at other women on the streets. Firstly, he was single-minded towards Shen Cui Hua, and secondly, it is likely that Shen Cui Hua was too strict in his management, and had the heart of a thief but not the courage to do so.


    But now, Shen Cui Hua heard from Jin Weiwei that this Jiang Qing Shou had ruined her husband''s reputation. Wasn''t he throwing feces on her?


    "Say, did you spread rumors that my husband had a woman outside? To have an affair with Jin Weiwei?! " Shen Cui Hua had been cursing in front of the Jiang family''s store all day, but Jin Xiao Die was like a turtle who was hiding in its shell and refused to come out.


    Shen Cui Hua knew that Jin Xiao Die was at home. The more it was like this, the more unwilling Shen Cui Hua became.


    After a whole day of cursing, Jin Xiaodie still hadn''t come out, but Shen Cui Hua was ready to break into the house, just in time to see Jiang Qingshu squeezed through the crowd.


    "I ¡­" Jiang Qingshou saw Shen Cui Hua put her hands on her hips, looking as if she wanted to fight to the end with him, and was immediately terrified.

 C75

    He had been in Lin Shui city for so long, he had naturally heard of Shen Cui Hua''s previous story and the general situation of the Shen family. He also knew that Shen Cui Hua''s 3rd uncle and 5th uncle were both people who did not care for their lives.


    He immediately changed his posture and smiled apologetically:


    "Aiyo, whose rumors are you listening to, putting this blame on our Jiang family? "I ate a leopard''s gall and didn''t dare to create sister Shen''s ballad ¡­" Jiang Qingshou said kindly.


    "Hmph, saying ''elder sister Shen'' in every single sentence. Are you saying that I''m old? Even if I am old, I am not blind and deaf! "Jiang Qingshu, Jiang Qingshu, my family has been working with you for so many years, what the hell are you trying to create rumors about?!"


    Shen Cui Hua wanted to continue, but Jiang Qingshu immediately said: "Aiyo, look at my mouth, I don''t know how to talk. Where are you old and how beautiful are you? Of all the women in the city, I''m afraid there aren''t many who can compare to you ¡­"


    Jiang Qingshou wanted to change the topic and know that Shen Cui Hua was up to something, but hearing what Jiang Qingshu had said, Jin Xiaodie, who was listening from the inside of the butcher''s shop, could not bear it.


    This damnable man, he actually said that all of Shen Cui Hua''s women couldn''t compare to her, then what did he take her to be?


    He actually praised another woman in front of me, who knows what he might come up with behind her back.


    ''Crash! ''A muffled sound was heard as the door was instantly opened.


    Jin Xiaodie rushed over, pinched Jiang Qingshu''s ear and shouted in exasperation: "Jiang Qingshu, what did you say? Is this woman that beautiful in your heart? "


    Jiang Qingshou was speechless. When he first saw Shen Cui Hua, he had a smile on his face, thinking that something might have happened. This was really good, what kind of crazy woman was she? She was really stupid.


    "Jin Xiaodie, get the hell back to the butcher''s shop!" Jiang Qingshou wanted to get rid of his dignity, but his wife pulled at his ear in front of so many people. What a shame, he had lost a lot of face.


    In order to find his dignity, he pushed Jin Xiaodie into the butcher''s shop.


    "Damn Jiang Qingshou, you were the one who spread the rumors about Shopkeeper Qian. You''re still pretending to praise Shen Cui Hua, then I''ll show her your true face!" When Jin Xiaodie saw Jiang Qingshu push him, she decided to push the rumor to Jiang Qingshu.


    Hmph, watch him, Jiang Qingshu won''t be taught a lesson by Shen Cui Hua.


    Sure enough, as soon as Jin Xiaodie said that, Shen Cui Hua rushed over and pulled Jiang Qingshu by the collar: "You good Jiang Qingshu, you have been doing business with my family for so many years, you know how he treats you, he lost my family and is so good to you, and he even borrowed money from you, you actually spread rumors behind his back, and ruin his reputation!"


    Jiang Qingshou had already been beaten up by the little rich kid in Xingtian Village. Now that he was shaken by Shen Cui Hua to the point where he almost fell apart, but due to the Shen family''s influence, he did not dare resist.


    "Shen ¡­" Sister Shen, this rumor isn''t because of me ¡­ It''s not me who spread the news, it''s Jin Xiaodie! " This time, Jiang Qingshu was furious. Jin Xiaodie was ruthless, so don''t blame Jiang Qingshu for being immoral.


    "You ¡­ You... "It''s obviously you! Damn Jiang Qingshou, you even tricked your own wife! Are you even a man?!" Jin Xiaodie jumped out of the butcher''s shop with her hands on her hips, cursing and scratching Jiang Qingshu''s face.


    The pitiful Jiang Qingshu, whose face had been previously unscathed by the little rich kid, was suddenly scratched into a huge cat.


    The surrounding people started a flurry of discussion. This was much better than listening to a singing show. Someone who had something better to do shouted loudly, "Hit ¡­" Beat... "Well fought, continue fighting ¡­"


    Seeing someone trying to cheer her up, Jin Xiaodie took advantage of the moment Jiang Qingshu was covering his face to rush up again, leaving ten bloody marks on his neck.


    "Damned woman, you''re crazy! Not only will I hit you today, I''ll even divorce you!" Jiang Qingshu grabbed Jin Xiaodie''s hair and dragged her to the ground.


    Jin Xiaodie sat down on the ground, cursing, "Jiang Qingshu, I''m not done for you! Fine! You actually want to divorce me!? How many hardships have I suffered with you over the years? How much? I even gave you a baby, you... You actually want to ¡­ "It''s time to divorce me ¡­"


    Seeing this, Shen Cui Hua felt that it was laughable. Originally, she was here to seek justice, but she did not expect that this couple would truly fly their own ways in the face of a great calamity.


    Right now, she could only bring her people to stand to the side and watch the show. They were waiting to get tired of watching the show, and they would only act after they were tired of fighting.


    After Jin Xiaodie cried and complained, she won the sympathy of the audience and pushed Jiang Qingshu into an unjust situation.


    "Jiang Qingshu, I, Jin Xiaodie, have been greedy for meat since early morning. I''ve even brought my children to honor my parents. What have you, Jiang Qingshu, done? You... You''re going to get rid of me now, aren''t you? You think I''m old, don''t you? What kind of woman do you think you''re interested in?! "


    "Let go of me! "Today, you have to get the hell out of my house. I, Jiang Qingshou, don''t have a wife like you. Get the hell out of my house, take your things and get lost!" Jiang Qingshu stepped over Jin Xiaodie''s body, wrote the rest letter on a piece of paper and pen, and threw it onto Jin Xiaodie''s face.


    Jiang Qingshu had been troubled by Jin Xiaodie a lot in the past few years. Not only was Jin Xiaodie unruly, but she was also good at inciting her mother to bully him. Besides, Jin Dabao had been holding himself back.


    But this time, this woman said that he was heartless, and today, he really exploded.


    "Scram!" Jiang Qingshu roared and slammed the door shut.


    Shen Cui Hua was excited, but seeing that, she could not help but be startled, and thought, is that it?


    Although Jiang Qingshu and Jin Xiaodie had given her a great show, she couldn''t just let them go for nothing.


    "Jiang Qingshu, get the hell out here!" Today''s matter is not over, I don''t care if you are spreading rumors or Jin Xiaodie, although you are not husband and wife now, but you are still a husband and wife when there are rumors previously, you have to settle this for me! " Shen Cui Hua slammed on the Jiang family''s butcher''s shop with all her might.


    Shen Cui Hua was not someone to be trifled with, and opening the door was not an option. Jiang Qing Shou had to open the door with a sullen face, and frowned as he begged: "My aunt, what do you think we should do? "Look at how our Jiang Clan is on the verge of disbanding because of this matter, we''ll have to spare our lives ¡­"


    Jiang Qingshu''s shout was echoed by everyone around him, "Exactly! Spare him! He''s about to divorce us!"


    Shen Cui Hua saw that everyone was pleading for mercy for Jiang Qingshu, so she snorted: "What''s so pitiful about that, he''s asking for it! However, I, Shen Cui Hua am not an unreasonable person. Since things have gotten to this stage, what about you, compensate me with some money and pay back the 5 taels of silver that you owe us.


    With that said, Shen Cui Hua extended her hand out and placed it in front of Jiang Qingshu.

 C76

    "Compensation ¡­" I''ll compensate you, I''ll compensate you right now! " Jiang Qingshou took out a few taels of silver from the butcher''s cupboard and handed it over to Shen Cui Hua.


    Shen Cui Hua took the silver and looked at it, spitting saliva on the ground: "Didn''t I say, you want to send me away with just these few taels of silver? Do you think I''m a beggar? "Other than repaying us 5 taels of silver, you must give me another 100 taels. If you don''t pay me that, I will make a ruckus here. From now on, don''t even think about opening the Jiang Clan''s butcher shop."


    A hundred taels of silver, why didn''t she just snatch it?


    One had to know that in this era, a hundred taels of silver was not a small amount. If Jin Weiwei spent a hundred taels of silver, she could rent that shop for five years.


    Jiang Qingshu was naturally unwilling, he stared at Shen Cui Hua and pleaded: "Your excellency, you have a lot of money, but I am unable to take out that much money. "One hundred liang, I really don''t have one. How about fifty liang, take a look ¡­"


    Shen Cui Hua spat at Jiang Qing Shou, lifted her eyes and sized up his shop: "I knew your shop would not be able to afford this much, fifty taels is fine, but, if you dare let me hear any more nonsense, I will come and ask for the other fifty taels!"


    Jiang Qingshu was satisfied with the price from 100 taels to 50 taels. He no longer haggled and obediently took out the silver from the butcher''s shop and handed it over to Shen Cui Hua.


    Besides these fifty liang, it was also worth five liang of meat.


    Shen Cui Hua received the money and was immediately satisfied. She turned around and brought her people and left, the surrounding people also dispersed.


    At this moment, the Jiang family''s butcher shop was quiet and peaceful. Jiang Qishou had suffered two losses, so he shut the door and cursed. He no longer paid any attention to Jin Xiaodie, who was standing outside the door.


    Jin Xiaodie sat blankly on the ground for a long time before she finally got up. She patted and patted the door of the Jiang family butcher''s shop again, but Jiang Qingshou refused to open the door for her.


    Jin Xiaodie was done crying, and her curses were hoarse. Seeing that it was getting dark, she could not help but pick up the letter. She decided to go to Jin Xiaoyan''s house to seek refuge.


    Although she was extremely unwilling, but where else could she go at this time?


    If she really did give up, then she would have to return to her parents'' home, but Jin Dabao still had Jin Weiwei and little Fugui. If she went back, wouldn''t that just be asking for trouble?


    Jin Xiaodie could only go to Jin Xiaoyan''s house.


    The Jin family wasn''t too far away from Jin Xiaodie''s house, but Jin Xiaodie was penniless. By the time they arrived at Jin Xiaoyan''s house, it was almost dark.


    Jin Xiaodie was in the business world and had some money in her hands. She always looked down on Jin Xiaoyan, and from time to time, she would mock her elder sister as she married a poverty-stricken husband.


    However, who would have thought that now, with the turn of Feng Shui, she, Jin Xiaodie, would one day be able to win over her elder sister, Jin Xiaoyan. Now that she was going to seek refuge in Jin Xiaoyan''s home, she was a little hesitant.


    However, it was already dark, so he had no choice but to brace himself and knock on the door.


    "Bang! Bang!" Several knocks sounded from the door. Jin Xiaoyan shouted, "Who is it?" She opened the door and saw Jin Xiaodie standing in front of the door. She couldn''t help but frown.


    "Why is second sister free to come to my place today?" Jin Xiaoyan said with faint caution.


    Looking at her elder sister''s expression, Jin Xiaodie remembered all her actions from the past. She felt very ashamed and could not say a word.


    This amount of time was enough for Jin Xiaoyan to clearly see her second sister. As soon as she saw her, she was so surprised that her mouth couldn''t even close.


    Jin Xiaodie''s clothes were made from the best Lingyun brocade. Back then, when she was born, her second brother''s husband, Jiang Qingshou, gave it to her personally. She had always loved it dearly and even flaunted it a few times in front of him, but now, she was not even allowed to touch the hem of his clothes.


    "What''s wrong with your clothes?" Broken? " Jin Xiaoyan frowned.


    At the mention of this, Jin Xiaodie''s eyes reddened. She clenched her teeth and lowered her head, but didn''t say anything.


    In the end, she was still his second sister. Even if she had let him down in the past, his blood was thicker than water. His broken bones were still connected. It was obvious that she had encountered difficulties.


    Jin Xiaoyan sighed internally and stepped aside. "Second Sister, come in first."


    It was already dinner time, and Jin Xiaoyan asked if she was hungry. When she saw Jin Xiaodie silently touch her belly, she knew it was an empty stomach and immediately brought her to the living room.


    As she served the food, Jin Xiaoyan pushed it in front of Jin Xiaodie. Her brows relaxed as she said, "Eat while it''s hot."


    Jin Xiaodie nodded and slowly picked up the chopsticks.


    Only when she was in trouble did she see the true emotions. A thin layer of tears had already leaked out from her eyes. She was afraid that someone might notice. She hurriedly used her sleeve to rub away the tears while she was drinking the soup.


    "Tell me, what happened?" Jin Xiaoyan sat at the side, sewing her clothes as she asked again. She knew her little sister, Sister Mo Ruo. She had always been a little aggressive, but never had she been in such a difficult situation before.


    Jin Xiaodie stopped drinking the soup, swallowed the pain in her heart, raised her head and forced a smile, "It''s nothing serious, I just had a conversation with my wife. I can''t take my anger anymore."


    Was it really just a couple quarrelling? Jin Xiaoyan''s eyes were fixed on the tattered outer garment. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.


    At this pass, the sound of footsteps followed the breeze.


    Jin Xiaoyan knew it was her couple as soon as she heard the news. She couldn''t help but smile. "Boss, you''re back?"


    Zheng Tong walked into the room. When he saw his wife, he first responded with a smile. "Mmm, since there''s nothing in the accounts room today, I''ll be back earlier."


    As he spoke, he glanced at Jin Xiaodie from the corner of his eyes, and his expression became serious.


    After so many years of being husband and wife, how could they not notice? Jin Xiaoyan quickly explained, "Second Sis and Second Sister-in-Law had a quarrel with each other. They''re still angry about this meeting, so they came to stay with us for a few days."


    When Zheng Tong heard this, he acknowledged and sat down to eat without saying anything.


    Seeing her brother-in-law not saying a word, Jin Xiaodie was a bit nervous. She was afraid that he would kick her out, so she had nowhere to stay. She ate so much that it felt like she was stuck in her throat.


    Suddenly, Zheng Tong put down his bowl and chopsticks. "Since you''re angry, you can''t just go back with your face in your mouth. Second sister just wants to stay here. Second sister''s husband will come pick you up if he admits his wrongs."


    Although she knew her brother-in-law well and knew that he had always been a kind person, after all, the two families were at odds with each other. Jin Xiaodie never thought that the other side would think so much for her sake.


    After dinner, the two sisters talked peacefully for a while. Jin Xiaoyan noticed that Jin Xiaodie was in a bad mood, so she said, "It''s getting late, I''m a little sleepy. Second sister, you should get some rest as well."

 C77

    What Jin Xiaodie needed now was a good night''s sleep. She looked at her elder sister gratefully, "Thank you so much, elder sister."


    "Hey, we''re all sisters, there''s no need to thank me. Why are you courting me?" Jin Xiaoyan laughed heartily and led Jin Xiaodie to the east-side room, "You will sleep here for the next few days. If you need anything, feel free to tell me."


    Jin Xiaodie nodded.


    "Alright, go to sleep first." Jin Xiaoyan left as soon as she finished her sentence, but felt that something wasn''t quite right as she patted herself on the head. "Oh my memory, second sister, what will you wear tomorrow if your clothes are so rotten?"


    Thinking of this, he hurriedly took his best clothes and went to the ear room.


    He didn''t expect that after entering the door, he would run into Jin Xiaodie who had taken off her outer garment. The white lining inside was also rotten, revealing her purple skin.


    This was clearly being beaten.


    Jin Xiaoyan''s expression suddenly changed. She took a few steps forward and grabbed Jin Xiaodie''s arm, her pupils filled with anger: "Who beat you to such a state?!"


    Recalling what Jin Xiaodie said, he asked immediately, "Was it done by Jiang Qingshou?" What kind of vicious heart did he have to beat you to such a state! "


    Jin Xiaodie pulled at her clothes in an attempt to cover her wound. She looked flustered, "I''m fine. I fell down on my own."


    She struggled with all her might, but a letter suddenly flew out from her sleeve and landed right on top of Jin Xiaoyan''s chest. Jin Xiaoyan caught it and caught it.


    "The divorce papers!"


    That bastard Jiang Qingshu!


    Jin Xiaoyan had an extremely ugly look on her face. "I beat you up and even gave you a break! To think that you''ve been following him like that all these years. I, Jin Xiaoyan, will go ask that beast what face he has left you with!"


    He was about to run out the door.


    Tears streamed down Jin Xiaodie''s face. She hugged Jin Xiaoyan and sobbed, "I beg you, big sister, don''t go find Jiang Qingshu, don''t go find him ¡­"


    The sobs turned into tears. Jin Xiaodie almost couldn''t stop crying, she could only hug her elder sister tightly.


    Jin Xiaoyan felt angry and pained at the same time. She turned around and hugged Jin Xiaodie, asking with hatred, "I must find that beast. He treats you like this. As an elder sister, how can I not seek justice?"


    She pulled Jin Xiaodie away, and said in a serious tone, "Don''t worry, elder sister won''t let you be bullied for nothing."


    "Big Sis and Big Sis!" When Jin Xiaodie saw that her elder sister was about to go out again, she quickly stood in front of her, begging with tears in her eyes, "Elder sister, I know you did it for me, but I beg you, please keep quiet, I ¡­" "I ¡­"


    Recalling the past, Jin Xiaodie was regretful. However, she didn''t have the face to tell him the reason. She could only feel pain.


    What was going on?


    Jin Xiaoyan looked at her sister''s sorrowful request and sighed. She pulled her sister onto the bed. "Forget it. I won''t go."


    * *


    The next morning, Jin Xiaodie opened her hazy eyes. She had been awakened by an attractive fragrance. What smell was this?


    She put on the clothes that Jin Xiaoyan had given her the day before. Although it was the best set she had, it still felt rough to the touch. She casually rubbed her clothes while feeling a burst of hunger.


    The fragrance in the air was even more tempting.


    Jin Xiaodie gave up rubbing her clothes and quickly walked out.


    The kitchen of the farmhouse was usually in a disadvantageous position. Jin Xiaodie easily found the right place in order for the smoke to scatter with the wind. She stuck her head in and peeked her head in.


    He saw Jin Xiaoyan lifting the lid of the pot. In the large black iron pot and the milky white broth, a complete hen was rolling back and forth in the boiling broth.


    She couldn''t help but swallow her saliva. She licked her lips and smiled, "Big Sis, you got up so early to cook."


    Jin Xiaoyan turned around and smiled at him, covering the pot with her hands. "It''s getting late. If you don''t prepare soon, it''ll be too late. Hurry up and wash up, then we''ll start our meal."


    Jin Xiaoyan''s family wasn''t rich, and as a woman of the village, she would usually live her days in peace. Normally, not to mention stewed chicken, she would occasionally cut off some large pieces of meat and was reluctant to eat them all in one go.


    It was all for his sake. Big Sis was really nice to her!


    Thinking of this, Jin Xiaodie felt warm in her heart. In the past, she had let her big sister down, so she must treat her well.


    With this thought in mind, Jin Xiaodie went to the courtyard and washed her face with water. If it was in the past, she would have despised the Jin Xiaoyan family for not having a single piss. But now, she felt that the water in the well was a top-notch beauty saint.


    At this moment, Jin Xiaoyan had also prepared breakfast.


    The moment she entered the room, Jin Xiaodie saw her elder sister bending over to place the bowl down.


    Jin Xiaoyan heard the sound of footsteps and turned around. "Come quickly and eat," she said.


    The moment she turned around, all the food behind her was revealed.


    He only saw two dishes of vegetables, without any trace of oil. The only good thing was the millet congee over there, which was still yellow and orange at the very least.


    However, Jin Xiaodie was very clear about how painful it would be to swallow such a small grain of rice.


    Strange, where''s the chicken soup? Where''s the old hen? And the bacon hanging from the beam?


    Why didn''t he see any of them?


    Jin Xiaoyan noticed the strange look on Jin Xiaodie''s face and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    After a short pause, Jin Xiaodie reminded in a low voice, "Big sister, if you don''t bring that old hen up soon, it will be cold."


    "Chicken soup, it won''t cool. I''ve been stewing it on a low heat. I''m just waiting for the students to come back so I can enjoy it." Jin Xiaoyan was looking forward to seeing the treasure return home, and the smile on her face couldn''t be stopped.


    This old hen had stewed the meat for her son, Zheng Xuanzhi. Naturally, the cured meat had been prepared for him as well. He had been touched for a long time, but he only thought it was sentimental.


    Jin Xiaodie was upset. She touched the porridge bitterly and quietly took a sip of the congee. As expected, the rice grains were rough and unbearable.


    After breakfast, Jin Xiaoyan got busy again. Her precious son was coming home, how could she cook only two dishes? It was a good time, and the vegetables and fruits in the garden were all ripe, just in time to make a feast.


    She carried the basket to the garden.


    Jin Xiaofan''s family was not rich after all. If he had eaten and drank for free, it would be good for a day or two, but it would be boring for a long time.


    When the two of them reached the garden, Jin Xiaoyan said, "Second sister, you go pick the cucumbers. I have a hoe to dig up the vegetables."


    As he said that, he handed a sackcloth package to Jin Xiao Die.


    "Okay," Jin Xiaodie answered, taking the bag and picking the cucumber.

 C78

    It was hard to avoid idle chatter when working, and Jin Xiaoyan was the one who couldn''t hide her words the most. In addition, she was happy to be around, so she said a lot more, always wanting to share the joy in her heart.


    "Second sister, you haven''t been here for some time." Jin Xiaoyan looked at Jin Xiaodie and said in an intimate tone.


    When Jin Xiaodie heard it, she felt goosebumps all over her body. The intimacy in her elder sister''s tone made her feel uncomfortable. She was worried. Such an anomaly, could it be that she wanted to chase her away?


    However, Jin Xiaoyan changed the subject. "Then I''m sure you don''t know about my family''s recent happy occasion."


    "A joyous occasion? What good news? " Jin Xiaodie was nervous, but she still forced a smile and agreed.


    "My family''s students have won first place in the academy recently." When Jin Xiaoyan mentioned her son, her eyebrows were filled with pride. "You''re very happy, sir. You even received five taels of silver."


    The hand that was picking the melon fruit involuntarily froze, and Jin Xiaodie''s face tensed up.


    "Not only that, even my schoolmates have sent me congratulatory gifts. What Lingyun Jin? What ten-year wild ginseng ¡­" The three words'' Lingyun Jin '', Jin Xiaoyan proudly emphasized on her tone. She stood up and said, "How about we wait until we get back? I''ll take it out to open up my second sister''s eyes."


    Jin Xiaodie hurriedly expressed that she didn''t need to. She wanted to pretend that she didn''t care, but her face was stiff. She forced a smile that seemed weird, "With so much effort, big sister, just wait for me to enjoy myself in the future."


    "Of course, even if I don''t have much ability in this life, I only had a smart son." Jin Xiaoyan didn''t really want to take out those gifts and dig out a piece of vegetables with her hoe.


    "Ai, don''t say that my family''s students are so capable. If in the future, they really become officials, then as your biological aunt, what would happen to them? Don''t you think so?" Jin Xiaoyan held Jin Xiaodie''s hand and said in a hoarse voice.


    Students, students, Jin Xiaodie felt that her mind was filled with these two words, thinking back to the miserable situation she was in. She was agitated, but she didn''t dare to show any displeasure on her face, so she forced a smile, "Big Sis is is right."


    Although she said this, the jealousy in her eyes couldn''t be hidden.


    When Jin Xiaoyan realized this, she felt inexplicably comfortable in her heart. She finally had something that her second sister envied.


    At this point, Jin Xiaoyan and Jin Xiaodie had their own thoughts. At the other side of the county, Jin Weiwei had spent a hundred taels of silver and rented a small courtyard not far from her shop.


    This small courtyard was very large, and was not inferior to the one in the countryside. With the help of little rich children, Jin Weiwei built a sheepfold.


    "Aiya." Suddenly, Jin Weiwei covered her own finger and almost shed tears.


    Xiao Fugui immediately put down the wooden stake and hammer in his hand, and forcefully pulled Jin Weiwei''s hand.


    A warm hand with a thin cocoon wrapped around her hand. Jin Weiwei only felt that the palm of the other party''s hand was so hot that it seemed to burn her heart. Her white face turned slightly red.


    The girl''s slender fingers were completely red and swollen. They were blue and purple in color. This little rich kid frowned with a face full of displeasure.


    Jin Weiwei felt very uncomfortable being stared at by him. Her face was hot as she said, "Let go of me. I''m really fine. I''m just slightly injured."


    She wanted to struggle, but little Fugui gripped her hand and a thin red lips covered her injured finger.


    A muffled sound rang out in Jin Weiwei''s mind, followed by a face that was like a cooked prawn. Her entire body was boiling hot.


    Jin Weiwei''s voice trembled. "You?" What are you doing? "


    Her bright-red face was like a beautiful rose. It was truly a beautiful sight to behold.


    Little Fugui suddenly licked the finger in his mouth.


    "Ya!" Jin Weiwei opened her eyes wide in anger and embarrassment. She tried her best to shake off the restraints on the little rich kid. Due to her slight anger, her eyes sparkled as she asked, "What the hell are you doing?!"


    Little Fugui''s eyes were deep and sunken. His pitch-black pupils seemed to drip with fine ink as he replied, "Heal your injuries."


    Healing injuries? Jin Weiwei froze for a moment before realizing that she had been thinking too much.


    She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, when she was a child, she had been injured, and her grandmother had treated her like this.


    As such, Xiao Fugui''s actions didn''t seem inappropriate, but after all, the two of them ¡­ Jin Weiwei started to feel uneasy again. She put her hands behind her back and intentionally glared at him. "Don''t ever do that again."


    Although he said this, it was a pity that he did not have any imposing manner.


    A trace of a smile appeared on the corner of the little rich kid''s mouth, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cold air. He, this Ten Thousand Year Ice Mountain face actually had a smile on his face, but ¡­ It was really pretty.


    Because Jin Weiwei had been injured, the little rich kid unceremoniously pushed her to the side and did the rest of the work on his own.


    But how could one person work as fast as two people? Jin Weiwei looked at the pile and handed it over.


    After some effort, the two of them worked together to build the sheepfold roughly. What was left was to install chains and the like. Since Jin Weiwei couldn''t get involved with this kind of work, they sat to the side and watched little Fugui work.


    His delicate eyebrows were even more handsome under the sunlight. His serious expression when working was even more eye-catching. Jin Weiwei felt slightly sweet as she secretly praised him in her heart. Luckily, she was smart enough to find a good husband.


    When everything was ready, it was already noon. In order to celebrate their official residence in the county, Jin Weiwei called Tao Xiaoqing and the other two to go to a restaurant in the city.


    Cheng Jia Restaurant was the most famous restaurant in the entire county. It was said that it had been in business for over a decade. It was because the dishes in this restaurant had a taste that was incomparable to anywhere else. In short, as long as one had eaten it, they would not hold back from giving their thumbs up.


    "Is it so delicious?" Tao Xiaoqing asked doubtfully.


    Jin Weiwei smiled and patted Tao Xiaoqing''s head. "It''s delicious. You''ll know once you taste it, right?"


    "Waiter, bring me all your signature dishes!" Jin Weiwei shouted into the lobby.


    Hearing the sound, the waiter came out from behind the curtain and happily replied, "Sure!"


    With large strides, he walked to Jin Weiwei''s side. The waiter handed over the menu in his hand. "Drying down the dishes is less fun. How about you order some good wine?"


    Taking advantage of this, Tao Xiaoqing took the opportunity to take a glance at the menu. His eyes landed on the prices listed and his eyes widened. "Five taels of silver!"


    This shout attracted the attention of many of the customers. Tao Xiaoqing realized this and covered his mouth. His chubby face recently flushed red.


    Not far away, there was a fatty wearing embroidered clothing who had probably heard it. He immediately revealed a disdainful expression on his face.


    "It''s just some bumpkins. I wonder if gold is priceless or not. Since there''s no money, why do you have to come to this restaurant? Why don''t you just go to a random restaurant or dog''s land!"


    When these words were spoken, many of the wine guests burst into laughter.

 C79

    Little Fugui''s eyes narrowed, and his killing intent leaked out. Jin Weiwei quickly held him down and stood up to look at the fatty in embroidered clothes. A sneer appeared on her face.


    The waiter''s heart skipped a beat. It''s over. If they were to cause a ruckus, the person on top would ¡­ He glanced up and jumped out to smooth things over, but no one paid any attention to him.


    In a private room upstairs, a handsome young man in a long, jade-green robe was sitting by the window. He had a straight nose, red lips, and was extremely spirited.


    "Young master, do you want me to go down and take a look to prevent them from making a ruckus?" A tight-uniformed man dressed as a follower cupped his hands and said.


    The white-robed young lord chuckled as he spoke, "There''s no need to be anxious. It''s rare for someone to cause trouble in my restaurant. Why not wait and see a good show?"


    The young master smiled and slowly walked down the stairs, standing behind the curtain.


    At this moment, Jin Weiwei and that fatty were only two feet apart. At such a close distance, it was enough for them to clearly see each other.


    Fatty sized up her coarse cloth skirt and showed a look of disdain on his face. "You''re really a poor wretch!"


    Xiao Fugui''s entire body felt like it was going to materialize at any moment. He silently walked up to Jin Weiwei''s side.


    However, Jin Weiwei wasn''t the least bit angry. She smiled with curved eyebrows. "He really is a dead fatty."


    Fatty''s expression suddenly changed. Before he could reprimand her, Jin Weiwei once again opened her mouth to directly stop him, "Since you said that good wine is priceless, then you must have accumulated some profound knowledge. Since this restaurant is famous throughout Water River County, I presume it''s worth a million good wine.


    One hundred silver taels!


    All the onlookers widened their eyes at the sight ¨C this young lady''s appetite was really big, wasn''t she afraid that they wouldn''t be able to take out the silver taels if they lost?


    "You really dare to open your mouth wide!" The fatty was even more contemptuous of Jin Weiwei. "One hundred liang, can you even take it out?!"


    "You don''t need to worry about that." Jin Weiwei slowly pulled at her sleeve. Her face was filled with provocation. "I''m just asking if you dare?"


    "Looks like this fatty doesn''t have the guts." Little Fugui silently added fuel to the fire.


    Tao Xiaoqing was so worried to death when he saw this. He didn''t know what a battle wine was, but he knew that a hundred taels of silver was a sky-high price.


    On the other side, Jin Weiwei stood there calmly, as if she was just a spectator.


    When Tao Xiaoqing saw his boss like this, he began to mutter in his heart. However, Jin Weiwei remained unmoving, so he couldn''t say anything. He could only secretly sweat for her.


    However, what he didn''t know was that although Jin Weiwei didn''t know what fighting wine was, Jin Weiwei was very familiar with this method in his previous life. In her last life, Jin Weiwei was an orphan. Her parents died early, and their families were separated, but she lived with her grandma for a while when she was young. After her grandma died from illness, she was sent to an orphanage.


    During her time in the society, she had done many strange jobs, including working as a waiter in a bar for two years, getting to know an eccentric bartender at the time. That bartender didn''t like to talk with people, so he got along with Jin Weiwei and passed on all the knowledge he had learned over the course of his life. Jin Weiwei also managed to get a full body of good alcohol during those two years, and she was also very familiar with all kinds of famous wines at home and abroad.


    Although she hadn''t come into contact with him for a long time, she believed that her abilities were still there. It was more than enough to deal with a mere arrogant fatty in front of her.


    "Say it, do you dare to be fat!" Seeing that the fatty didn''t say anything, someone couldn''t help but cheer.


    "Right, right, right. Hurry up and accept the challenge, don''t talk nonsense here!" Immediately, someone else shouted.


    Fatty had an ugly expression on his face, but he did not say anything. At first, he said those words to ridicule Jin Weiwei, but in the end, Jin Weiwei actually jumped out to fight him. Moreover, the couple had such a profound and unpredictable look, which made him unable to help himself from muttering to himself.


    Xiao Fugui sneered, grabbed Jin Weiwei''s hand and said, "Let''s go, how would a coward dare to accept the challenge?"


    Pfft!


    Haha!


    It was unknown how many people were laughing.


    Fatty''s face turned black and he immediately raised his fat arms to stop the two men who were about to leave, "Don''t go! Isn''t it just a drinking contest? Fight! "These are 100 taels!"


    As he said that, he slammed the banknotes onto the table.


    Seeing that she had succeeded, Jin Weiwei winked at little Fugui.


    The young master dressed in blue and white behind the curtain also chuckled when he saw this. This young lady had indeed dug a huge pit and they hadn''t expected her to succeed.


    However, this girl was still young, did she really understand alcohol? Perhaps it wasn''t because he wanted the man beside her to make a move.


    On the other side, Jin Weiwei was already waving her hand heroically. "Waiter, take out all the good wine you have here. I''ll have a drink with this fatty today!"


    The waiter smacked his lips. Since this female guest had already said so, he could not be disobedient on the spot. However, since it was a bet, there would always be losses. With such a large amount of gambling capital, if the loser started to cause trouble, the losses would not make up for the losses.


    What should he do?


    The waiter became anxious and started looking around.


    Seeing the waiter''s appearance, the fatty thought that he was just like everyone else and thought that he was a coward. He angrily slapped the table and said, "Waiter, why aren''t you serving the wine yet? Are you still standing there like a dead man?"


    The words were extremely unpleasant to hear. Jin Weiwei frowned, while little Fugui''s face revealed a mocking expression.


    "Customer... "This, the matter of the wine duel ¡­" Just as the waiter wanted to say these words, the curtain covering the staircase was suddenly lifted. A burly man dressed as a servant walked over.


    Ah!" This isn''t the same as the one beside Young Master...


    Just as the waiter wanted to greet him, the servant glared at him and whispered a few words into his ear.


    "Is that really what the young master said?" The waiter asked in a low voice. This caused the big man to glare at him in dissatisfaction, so he could only rub his nose in embarrassment.


    He turned his head and said to Jin Weiwei and the fatty, "Since we''re going to have a drink, only two people will participate in the bet. A young master upstairs said that he''s willing to be a dealer and bet two hundred taels of silver on this woman. Otherwise, we''ll have to pay this young master Jin Yi two hundred taels of silver.


    Two hundred silver!


    The customers who came to drink today were at a loss as to how to express their emotions. Just what was going on in this world? How could a mere drinking duel involve such a bold and unrestrained gamble?


    If that fatty really won, he could get a full three hundred taels of silver!

 C80

    What did this mean? It meant that even if he ate and drank to his heart''s content, he would be able to live comfortably in this county for several months!


    Astonishment appeared on Fatty''s face. He glanced at Jin Weiwei and saw her slight frown. He thought that she was going to go back on her word and hurriedly pointed at the waiter and scolded him.


    "Then it''s a deal, you dog slave, why aren''t you serving the wine!" The fatty ordered in a haughty manner.


    Being addressed as a lackey, the waiter was very unhappy, but he suppressed his anger and said, "Guests, please wait a moment."


    Turning her head to the side, she looked at the leaving figure of the waiter, then her gaze shifted to the man dressed as an attendant, "Who is your Young Master? Why are you participating in this gamble? Aren''t you afraid that I will lose and he will lose everything? "


    The man dressed as a guard grinned and said with a smile, "Don''t worry, young lady. Even if you lose, my young master won''t take it to heart. Young master doesn''t have much, just that the money won''t be spent."


    When the others heard this, they felt like choking back their words. One after another, they sighed in admiration at the vile descendants of rich families.


    On the other side, the young nobleman watched coldly. Unknowingly, his surroundings had turned cold. The man dressed in the imperial guard uniform felt his back break out in a cold sweat. The atmosphere between him and the guard was turning strange.


    Of course, Jin Weiwei was immediately aware of it. She quickly scratched the little rich child''s palm and whispered, "An Xin, under everyone''s watchful eyes, even if that young master has a plan, he won''t be able to do anything. He''ll be fine."


    Xiao Fugui snorted coldly and looked away.


    The man who was dressed as a servant swallowed his saliva, trying to resist the urge to wipe away his sweat. The fear in his heart was still there ¨C he didn''t know what background this guy had, but he actually had such a strong pressure.


    Behind the curtain, the young master in a green and white robe habitually waved the fan in his hand as a look of deep thought appeared in his eyes. The man beside the girl was not simple at all! When did Linshui County have such a hero?


    With the support of his young master, the young servant had no more doubts. As the saying went, the sky was falling, and he had a tall son supporting him. What was there to be afraid of? Soon, all the things he needed were brought over.


    The first time they saw it, it was made of jade, and with just a single glance, they could tell that it was no ordinary wine. When the waiter took a few steps forward, an indescribable fragrance immediately rushed into their noses.


    How fragrant! How could it be so fragrant?


    "He hasn''t even tasted it yet and it''s already so mellow. There must be ten years of precipitation, plus ten years of fermentation!" Some of the veterans confidently came to this conclusion, and everyone agreed with it.


    "Which of the two guests will go first?" The waiter smiled and made an inviting gesture.


    Naturally, he had the advantage when he made the first move. Fatty spoke first, "I''ll go first!"


    Without any explanation, he poured himself a cup of wine and carefully savored it before confidently saying, "Red-Ribbon Red, precipitated for 10 years and fermented for a total of 20 years."


    He immediately looked towards the waiter, waiting for him to announce the situation. However, he didn''t expect the waiter to just smile and say nothing.


    Fatty could only write down the result of his taste in dissatisfaction.


    Jin Weiwei smiled faintly. She poured a glass of wine from the pot and was about to taste it when a hand appeared in front of her.


    Looking at the direction of the arm, it turned out to be the son of a rich man.


    "You don''t know how to drink." His eyebrows were furrowed.


    Was he worrying about himself? Jin Weiwei felt something sweet in her heart. She took the arm of the little rich man and pressed it down, then she whispered with a smile, "Who said I can''t drink? Let me tell you a secret. Actually, I''m not drunk at all!"


    With a slight raise of his eyebrows, he looked at Jin Weiwei''s confident smile and silently compromised.


    As the clear wine was poured into his mouth, an indescribable fragrance flowed into his throat. With a light turn, a spicy taste filled his throat.


    It really was a red ribbon. Could it be that this fatty was really right? While she was thinking, Jin Weiwei subconsciously swallowed it down. At this moment, her eyes suddenly opened wide. Something was wrong!


    While her mind was wandering, she quickly drank another cup of wine. This time, after thinking about it for a while, she suddenly smiled. Yes, this was the taste.


    The Wine Master of this restaurant was really crafty.


    She beamed with joy as she wrote a few words on a piece of paper and passed it to the waiter.


    Fatty could not help but mutter. All sorts of guesses and conjectures appeared in his mind. When Tao Xiaoqing saw this, he quickly stepped forward to block his way, "What are you doing? Do you want to peek? "


    The fat guy glared at him angrily.


    "Hey, in front of everyone, don''t you dare try to be shameless!" Jin Weiwei pulled over to Tao Xiaoqing, smiling like a flower.


    For some reason, as he looked at Jin Weiwei''s smile, the young master in a long green and white robe under the curtain suddenly felt an itch in his hand. He really wanted to pinch the young girl''s soft cheek.


    The waiter kept Jin Weiwei''s and Fatty''s answers and announced, "The second round begins!"


    The second round! The third round! The fourth round!


    A total of twelve rounds.


    Along the way, Fatty''s tongue had long since become confused. He was complaining in his heart, but as he secretly glanced over, Jin Weiwei still had a carefree expression on her face.


    Hmph, this little girl must be faking it! She must have been fooling everyone, and when the answer was announced, it would definitely be a complete failure. When the time came, the three hundred silver taels would be his, and he would also be able to humiliate this girl.


    I will definitely win!


    The fatty clenched his teeth and drank the last type of wine.


    When the white wine entered his stomach, it gave off a warm feeling, causing the fatty''s face to turn even redder.


    On the other hand, although Jin Weiwei''s face was flushed, it only made her look more beautiful.


    The two of them wrote down the results of the wine, and the waiter put them away, smiling as he said, "Since the wine is finished, please wait a moment, I''ll send it to the young master in the room, asking him to judge the right and wrong."


    Both Fatty and Jin Weiwei had no objection to the waiter''s words. Since this Young Master was able to be the banker, he must have known the answer to the riddle. Right now, they only wanted to see who would win and who would lose.


    The waiter turned around and went upstairs.


    Fatty had a bright red face and folded his arms across his chest. With a haughty expression, he said, "Damned girl, let me tell you, Yours Truly has won this round."


    "Not necessarily." Jin Weiwei smiled. She wiped the corner of her mouth with the handkerchief and said slowly, "Don''t you want to be happy as soon as possible." Look at you, you are currently in a red state, so you must have gotten yourself into a bloody disaster. "


    The surrounding customers didn''t even have to mention it when they saw it. This fatty''s face was especially red and looked like a monkey''s butt. It was truly hilarious.


    "Hahaha!" "Oh my god, it really is like that!"


    "I can''t do it anymore. I used to not easily laugh. Today, I really can''t endure it anymore ¡­"


    Another man waved his hands in a bow and said with a smile, "This lady is truly talented. I admire you."


    Hearing the laughter of the crowd and seeing their expressions, Fatty was enraged. He raised his thick palms, wanting to slap them.

 C81

    With such a big palm coming down, even if Jin Weiwei didn''t die, she would absolutely disfigure her face.


    Her heart tensed up, Jin Weiwei wanted to quickly retreat, but unexpectedly, there was Tao Xiaoqing standing behind her. As a result, when the person in front stepped on the person behind her, the person behind her couldn''t stand still, and would fall backwards uncontrollably.


    "This is bad!" Jin Weiwei groaned on the inside. In that split-second, she suddenly felt a forward force on her shoulders, and her whole body took advantage of the momentum to stand firmly.


    She turned her head. It was none other than her husband, Xiao Fugui. Before Jin Weiwei could open her mouth to thank him, she saw the fatty in front of her suddenly drop to his knees, giving her three kowtows and nine kowtows.


    "Aiyo!" "It hurts so much ¡­" Fatty cried out with tears in his eyes. His hands could not help but rub his knees.


    There was no need to mention how bedraggled he looked.


    Jin Weiwei felt extremely satisfied in her heart. If he dared to provoke her, he wouldn''t even bother to ask if this brother of hers had the skill to answer or not.


    She pretended to be surprised and shouted, "Aiya, what''s wrong? "My friend, even if you know that you are going to lose, you don''t need to kneel and beg for forgiveness so quickly. How could I possibly accept such a big present like yours?"


    Fatty was so angry that he scolded Jin Weiwei while pointing at her, "You bitch! Who was it that was kneeling and begging for mercy? I can see that you don''t want to live anymore! "


    He tried to support himself on the table to stand up.


    Never would he have thought that just as his mouth was filled with joy, Little Fugui secretly stretched out a finger and a pebble shot out from his finger.


    The fatty only felt a sharp pain on his kneecap before he fell to his knees with a thump.


    He was already born fat. Just by moving his belly a little, he would bounce up and down. As he knelt down, everyone heard a "Putt!" sound.


    At this moment, no matter how foolish he was, he understood that someone was plotting against him. He looked suspiciously at Jin Weiwei and little Fugui in front of him.


    Who is it? Who was plotting against him?


    "Sigh, that''s why I called you damn fatty." Jin Weiwei held back her laughter and said sincerely, "Listen to the sound of your fat colliding with each other. Even a three-hundred-pound sow wouldn''t be able to make a sound."


    Pfft! Immediately, someone burst out laughing.


    "Oh my god, I didn''t even check out the calendar when I started out. This girl is so eloquent that she wants to make me laugh to death!" A brawny man was lying on the table, laughing maniacally.


    "Hahaha ¡­"


    "Haha ¡­" "Cough, cough ¡­" He choked on his tea while laughing.


    Looking at the scene in front of him, the fatty''s face alternated between red and white. In the end, it became livid. He gritted his teeth and roared angrily, "Today, I''ll tear your slut''s mouth apart!"


    "Young master, please hold on!" A deep and magnetic male voice, neither light nor heavy, slowly approached.


    It was like a slightly cool stream that flowed into the boiling crowd. It was truly the sound of a jade ring, causing people to wake up.


    Who was speaking?


    Everyone looked behind them.


    Jin Weiwei and Little Fugui looked over as well.


    A young master dressed in a long green and white robe walked over gracefully. He had an elegant gait and his clothes were fluttering in the wind.


    There was a light smile on his face. It was clearly just the spring wind of March, yet it carried an imposing aura that made people not dare to look down on it.


    "Where did you come from? It''s not your turn to speak here, hurry up and scram! " The fat guy roared in embarrassment.


    The waiter and the man who was dressed as a servant opened their eyes wide in shock.


    "How dare you!" This is our young master! " The waiter put his hands on his hips.


    The attendant was even more straightforward as he kicked the fatty''s waist, reminding him amidst his screams of pain with a chuckle: "My family''s young master is the oldest son of the largest family in Lishui County, and is also someone that a dirty person like you can look down on."


    What? What?


    Are we hearing things?


    The son of the Cheng family, or the eldest son? That was the direct line of descent of the family. It was said that this young master had been intelligent since young and had taken over the family business before he was ten. Within a short year, he had tripled the entire family business.


    Although he was no longer meddling in the affairs of the merchants, all of them knew of his great achievements.


    "This is a truly fearsome youngster!"


    "Tsk!" But I heard that this Young Master Cheng Yu seems to have gone to the academy to study? "


    "Luckily, he went to the academy with such a heaven warping talent. Otherwise, how could there still be a way for us to live?"


    As this person spoke, the rest of the people nodded in agreement.


    Jin Weiwei and little Fugui heard the customers'' discussions and took it to heart.


    He didn''t expect that the person who the waiter spoke of was actually the direct son of the Cheng family.


    Jin Weiwei had also heard a bit about his deeds.


    "I am Cheng''s eldest son, Cheng Yu. May I know lady''s name?" Cheng Yu clasped his hands in a bow, appearing to be a young noble of a turbid world.


    "I ¡­" Jin Weiwei was about to answer.


    Xiao Fugui suddenly narrowed his eyes and blocked in front of Jin Weiwei. He looked at Cheng Yu and suddenly said, "This has nothing to do with you. You just need to say who wins and who loses."


    "Little Fugui, what are you doing?" Jin Weiwei tugged at the corner of his shirt, but the other side grabbed hold of her hand.


    Cheng Yu''s gaze paused on the two of them. Had this girl already promised them? Deep inside his heart, a faint feeling of regret arose involuntarily.


    Still smiling lightly, he took out two hundred taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Jin Weiwei. "This round''s Miss Jiujiu has won. Congratulations!"


    "What?" The fatty looked at the scene before him in disbelief. He jumped up and pointed at Cheng Yu and the others as he yelled, "Impossible! This is fake! All of you must have colluded together!"


    "Impudent!" How could my young master, who is such a noble and noble character, be lying? If you continue to speak nonsense, do you believe that I''ll beat you to death?! " The attendant raised his fist.


    Frightened, the fatty''s face paled and he hurriedly retreated.


    Cheng Yu raised her hand to stop Fatty, and smiled slightly: "Lady Jin, you have a good saying, the sooner you are proud, the faster you will be unlucky. Since you doubt it, let me explain it to you personally."


    He picked up the Xuan paper on the tray and let go. The paper that was filled with answers spread out.


    "In the first round, you wrote the top red, while Lady Jin wrote the top red mixed with the female red ¡­" Cheng Yu turned to Jin Weiwei, his eyes full of admiration.


    "Lady Jin really does have a good taste bud, but I''m very curious how you managed to taste a girl''s red hair there?" He laughed.


    Jin Weiwei blushed a little and waved her hands, "No, Young Master Cheng is too kind. The reason I was able to taste it was just by chance. The top scholar, the top scholar, a joyous event in life while riding a horse on the streets. My alcoholic personality is even stronger, but when I swallow it, there''s a hint of softness between my lips."


    At this point, Jin Weiwei smiled. "As a woman, I know best what it means to have soft intestines and soft intestines. If you don''t have this kind of relationship, then what is it?"

 C82

    Cheng Yu was dazed for a moment as he looked at this beautiful face. He had been blessed by the heavens and had seen the beauty of a country before, but at this moment, this woman, who was clearly just a pretty and delicate woman, had made his heart tremble.


    After hearing Jin Weiwei''s explanation, everyone came to a realization.


    Only the fatty refused to believe it.


    "Female red? How could there be a girl red? "How is it possible for a single type of wine ¡­" The fatty''s expression was frantic, and he could not help but grab the precious one hundred taels that was on his chest.


    "When did I say that this jade pot only contained one kind of wine?" Cheng Yu looked at the fat man again and said slowly. He then poured himself a cup of wine and savored it.


    "To be honest, each of these twelve jugs contains more than one type of wine." Cheng Yu happily finished the wine in his cup. He glanced at the fatty who had lost all his heart, and taunted: "Do you really think that my money is so easy to earn?"


    In other words, to become a god of wealth like the young master, wanting to earn money from him was a pipe dream.


    Cheng Yu then unfolded the rest of the paper and explained the wine in the wine jug one by one. Finally, everyone realized that out of the twelve jugs of wine, the fatty hadn''t said a single one correctly.


    This seemingly insignificant little girl had actually obtained complete victory!


    Everyone couldn''t help but exclaim one after another in admiration. Amidst the praises, Jin Weiwei clasped her hands together and repeatedly said, "I don''t dare, I''m flattering you ¡­"


    The fatty, who was dressed in brocade clothes, had completely given up. He painfully took out the silver bills from his clothes and placed them on the table. He staggered out of the room as if he had lost his soul.


    Everyone looked at him with sympathy. Whoever he offended would end up offending Young Master. In the future, in the business world, this fatty would have nothing to do with him.


    Cheng Yu handed over the fatty''s one hundred taels. Jin Weiwei pushed it back and shook her head. "I''ve already gotten your money. Logically speaking, this one hundred taels should belong to you."


    Seeing that she was adamant on accepting it, Cheng Yu frowned, "Are you looking down on me?"


    Jin Weiwei was a bit troubled. She didn''t want to owe anyone favors, but because Young Master Cheng insisted on giving it to her, she accepted the banknotes from him while they were in a dilemma.


    "Little Fugui ¡­" Jin Weiwei opened her eyes wide.


    "How can you refuse a meal in the butcher''s shop that Young Master Cheng has taken care of us?" Little Fugui didn''t even blink as he spat out these words with a hint of coldness in his voice.


    This was a reminder to Jin Weiwei. That''s right! Since she had opened a butcher''s shop in this county, it was inevitable that she would have to deal with Cheng Jia Restaurant in the future. She quickly cupped her hands and said,


    "I accept Young Master Cheng''s good intentions. This one hundred silver taels is considered as the payment for the goods. I just don''t know if you want my Jin family''s sausage or pork and mutton?"


    Cheng Yu couldn''t help but laugh. Speaking of which, the Cheng family had ordered some sausages from that storekeeper Qian''s Tongtong Food Shop. The taste was marvelous, but he didn''t know how good the sausages made by this storekeeper Jin would be compared to them.


    "I didn''t expect that the lady would open a butcher''s shop. Since that''s the case, how can a hundred taels of silver be enough?" Cheng Yu waved the fan in his hand, indicating the attendant to take out another three hundred silver and give it to Jin Weiwei.


    "I like Lady Jin''s character very much. In the future, all the pig and mutton in Cheng Jia Restaurant will come from your home!" Cheng Yu closed the fan, picked up a brush, and started writing a contract.


    Although this was their first time interacting with each other, Jin Weiwei still trusted Cheng Yu''s character. After a cursory glance, the two happily signed their names and pressed their hand seals.


    The remaining customers were all flabbergasted. Just like that, they signed the contract?


    The speed at which they came to an agreement was simply too astonishing, but that was not important. What was important was that they were working together with the young masters of the Cheng family.


    "This little girl''s fate is really good!" Some licked their lips in envy.


    Cheng Yu still wanted to invite Jin Weiwei for another cup of tea, but at this moment, the face of the little rich man was so dark that it seemed as if he was at the bottom of a pot. Before Jin Weiwei could say anything, he first coldly said, "Young Master Cheng must have other urgent matters to attend to."


    Speaking of which, there really was something extremely important going on with Cheng Yu today. In addition to the obvious enmity from Xiao Fugui, how could Cheng Yu not feel it? He stared at the man in front of him, and the regret in his heart grew.


    "This man with a picturesque appearance ought to be the young lady''s husband, right?"


    Jin Weiwei smiled and nodded her head. Very naturally, she reached out her hand to hold little Fugui''s arm.


    Hate not to see each other before marriage ah, Cheng Yu melancholy.


    The attendant whispered in his ear, "Young master, it''s almost noon."


    Helpless, he could only bow with both hands and quickly bid farewell after finding the address of Jin Weiwei''s shop.


    As he watched Cheng Yu''s back, little Fugui tightly held Jin Weiwei''s hand and followed her out of the restaurant.


    "Sss, it hurts!" Why do you have to go through so much trouble? " Jin Weiwei rubbed her red hands and complained.


    Xiao Fugui looked at her hands and thought to himself, "In the future, don''t come in contact with this Cheng anymore."


    Why did he suddenly mention this?


    Jin Weiwei was stunned for a moment. Then, she reacted and mischievously blinked her eyes. "To be honest, you ¡­" Are you jealous? "


    She suddenly jumped in front of Xiao Fugui, laughing innocently. Xiao Fugui''s face was expressionless, but his earlobes that were white as jade were suspiciously red.


    Tao Xiaoqing silently followed behind the two of them. He looked at them laughing awkwardly while feeling envy in his heart.


    Sigh! The boss and the Lady Boss were really close.


    * *


    At noon, in the village, the farmers who had worked all morning returned home carrying their hoes.


    Smoke was rising in the kitchen of every household. Even the birds on the branches were probably hungry and didn''t want to chirp anymore.


    A carriage stopped in front of the simple and crude wooden door of Jin Xiaoyan''s house.


    "Young Master Zheng, we''ve arrived." The coachman whose face was filled with the vicissitudes of life said with a hoarse voice.


    The curtain of the carriage was pushed open with a swoosh. A handsome man jumped off. It was Jin Xiaoyan''s son, Zheng.


    Bang bang bang ¡­


    The wooden door was knocked.


    Jin Xiaoyan stood up almost at the same moment the door was knocked. She had been listening intently for her son''s return.


    The door creaked open, and Jin Xiaoyan looked at her son, who had grown taller by quite a bit. Her face was filled with excitement.


    Zheng saluted with both hands and bowed deeply. "Mother, your son is back."


    There was a warm smile on his face and delight in his eyes.


    Jin Xiaoyan was also overjoyed. She grabbed Zheng''s hand and said, "Mom''s been waiting for you ever since you left for the academy. I''ve been thinking about when you''d be back. I''ve been thinking so much about it ¡­"

 C83

    Zheng didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. "It''s only been ten days, Mom."


    "Forget about not returning home for ten days, even if I only went there for a day, mother would be panicking just from thinking about it ¡­" Jin Xiaoyan dragged her son inside the house.


    When Jin Xiaodie, who was putting all kinds of dishes on the table in the living room, heard the voice coming from the yard, she immediately knew that her nephew had returned.


    He quickly wiped his hands with a cloth and walked out. He saw a tall, thin, but young and refined teenager following Jin Xiaoyan as she approached.


    The smile on his face was humble and polite, making people feel comfortable when they saw it.


    Jin Xiaoyan talked about her thoughts as she walked. Zheng leaned his head forward and smiled. The scene of the mother being filial made Jin Xiaodie feel upset for no reason.


    Zheng was listening to his mother''s lecture. He lifted his head slightly and saw a figure in the corner of his eyes. It was his second aunt, Jin Xiaodie.


    Although Zheng was a gentle student, Jin Xiaodie did not give him a pleasant impression. He frowned slightly and thought to himself, "Why is she here?" Was he here to find fault again?


    Noticing Zheng''s gaze, Jin Xiaodie stepped forward and smiled. "Eldest nephew, you''re back."


    Jin Xiaoyan slapped her forehead and said, "I was too focused on being happy that I almost forgot to tell you that your aunt had a quarrel with your uncle and wanted to stay with us for a few days."


    So it was because the couple didn''t get along and ran away from home. Zheng was relieved, but he had always thought carefully about it. His mother''s simple words made him suspicious.


    His second aunt had always been proud and arrogant and had always looked down on her own family. Even if she had quarreled with her second aunt, how could she have come home so easily?


    As he thought about it, his eyes naturally held a sense of scrutiny.


    Facing such a gaze, Jin Xiaodie felt uncomfortable, so she couldn''t help but move her body away.


    Zheng realized his actions were inappropriate. He quickly bowed and called out, "Aunt!"


    Zheng was the treasure in Jin Xiaoyan''s heart. Jin Xiaodie didn''t dare to put on any airs. She reached out to support him. "Child, we''re all intimate. Why are you being so polite?"


    Zheng was surprised. His second aunt had changed a lot in the past few days.


    "Your second aunt is right. You are her nephew. There is no need for you to be so well-behaved." Jin Xiaoyan smiled and led her son into the living room. Jin Xiaodie also followed quietly.


    "It''s already noon, you must be hungry. Look at what Mother has prepared for you." Jin Xiaoyan lifted the gauze covering the mosquitoes.


    The dishes on the table were in front of Zheng. They were plain, white, green, red and unintentional, yet they were vibrant and colorful. It made one''s appetite increase.


    "Mother, you''ve prepared so many dishes!" A flash of surprise passed through Zheng''s mind but then a wave of heartache rushed up to him. He helped Jin Xiaoyan''s arm and said, "Mom, you must have been busy all morning. Are you tired? "Let your son massage your shoulders."


    Seeing her son being so considerate, Jin Xiaoyan happily sat down.


    On the other hand, Jin Xiaodie felt as if her heart had been turned upside down.


    He was also his son. His family only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. He had cut up his own meat until his back ached, but he had never asked about it.


    The atmosphere in the room became harmonious. Zheng started to pat his mother on the shoulder.


    "How have you been these ten days in the academy?" The corner of Jin Xiaoyan''s mouth curled up into a smile. In her mother''s heart, she stretched out a pair of calluses covered hands to touch her son''s forehead.


    How could life be perfect in the academy? It was always a little disappointing, but Zheng did not intend to mention it at all. "Well, it''s good to eat, and sleep soundly."


    "Then how is the relationship between you and your classmates harmonious?" This was what Jin Xiaoyan was most worried about. Naturally, she would pursue this line of questioning.


    Zheng had always been a gentleman. He knew his family''s business, so he never offended anyone. It was just that he was distant from his friends, so he got along well with his classmates.


    Jin Xiaoyan was delighted when she heard that Zheng was getting along well with her classmates.


    Jin Xiaodie sat quietly at the side, the smile on her face became more and more rigid. Just when she was worried that she could not continue, three "Bang Bang Bang" sounds rang again.


    "Yo!" Who is this noon? " Jin Xiaoyan asked in bewilderment. Seeing that she was about to stand up, Jin Xiaodie rushed in front of her, "Sister, please sit down. I will go take a look."


    After walking out of the living room in quick steps, Jin Xiaodie opened the wooden door and saw a man''s figure in front of her. After she clearly understood what was going on, she didn''t know how to describe her feelings at the moment.


    Even the word "handsome and outstanding" was not enough to describe this man''s appearance.


    He was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He wore a green and white robe with a jade hairpin on his head. His face was fair and his eyes were deep. Before he could even open his mouth to speak, his bearing made it hard for people to shift their eyes away.


    When he saw Jin Xiaodie, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. "I am Chengyu, a classmate of Zheng''s at the academy. I have come to pay a visit today."


    Jin Xiaodie was stunned for a moment as she did not expect her nephew to have such an outstanding classmate. She quickly stepped aside and said, "Young Master, please come in."


    After Cheng Yu walked in, he casually looked around. Zheng''s house was just an ordinary small farmyard. To be precise, it was simple and unadorned.


    There were even a few chickens and ducks raised on one leg of the academy wall. Following the slightly chilly wind, an unpleasant smell drifted over.


    The followers behind Cheng Yu could not help but reveal expressions of disgust. How could their young master enter such a shabby place?


    "Young master, since the presents have already been delivered, why don''t we go back now?" The followers standing behind him said respectfully.


    Cheng Yu was a transparent and intelligent person, how could he not know what these servants were thinking? He turned his head and said with a gloomy face, "Shut up."


    These two short words were filled with an unquestionable dignity.


    Their young master had also been following them for a while now, and they knew that their young master was angry. Their followers obediently shut their mouths, each and every one of them remaining silent.


    Listening to the conversation between their master and servant, Jin Xiaodie was puzzled. She looked over Cheng Yu and saw that the servants behind them were actually carrying two big boxes ¡ª they were here to deliver gifts?


    That piece of wood was also very good material. At least Jin Xiaodie had seen some good things, she could tell with one glance that this box was made by Jia Fangzhai, regardless of what was in this box, this box was already very valuable. A box was worth at least 5 taels of silver.


    Two boxes cost ten taels of silver!


    Jin Xiaodie felt her heart trembling. What kind of background did Cheng Yu, a schoolmate of the Zheng School, have?

 C84

    "Aunt, my family''s young master is talking to you!" The servant saw that Jin Xiaodie was stunned, and reminded her with good intentions.


    Only then did Jin Xiaodie wake up and quickly replied, "Just now, I was distracted and didn''t hear what you said. I don''t think you are here for Zheng." He''s in the living room. "


    Cheng Yu was ushered into the living room. The noise of the footsteps outside the door had already attracted the attention of Zheng, Zheng, and his son.


    Zheng walked out and looked over. He was pleasantly surprised. He walked over and held Cheng Yu''s hand. "Brother Cheng, why are you here?"


    "For the past few days, I haven''t been to the academy, but now that you''ve obtained the first place in the academy and the glory that you''ve received as a reward, how could I not know that I''ve come today to congratulate you?" Cheng Yu patted Zheng''s hand.


    The servants carried the two boxes to Zheng''s feet.


    While Zheng was wondering what this was, Jin Xiaoyan also came out.


    "Ah, this is?" Jin Xiaoyan looked at the man in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat ¨C where did this handsome young man come from?


    Zheng quickly introduced him. "Mom, this is my son''s classmate at the academy. His name is Cheng Yu."


    Then he turned to Cheng Yu and said, "Brother Cheng, this is my mother, and this is my second aunt."


    "So that''s how it is." Cheng Yu courteously said, "Greetings, second aunt."


    "Good child, hurry and get up!" Jin Xiaoyan reached out a hand to help her up.


    Jin Xiaodie also stretched out her hand, but when she saw Jin Xiaoyan''s action, she quickly withdrew it.


    Jin Xiaoyan didn''t have Jin Xiaodie''s vision, she only vaguely felt that her son''s classmate had an extraordinary appearance, but she couldn''t think of anything else.


    At this time, she also noticed the two boxes on the ground. She knew that it must be brought by this classmate of hers, so she kindly smiled and said, "Since it''s my classmate, why did you bring a present?"


    Cheng Yu smiled, rubbed the Sheep''s Finger White Jade Fan, and said with a sincere expression, "Brother Zheng got first place in the academy two days ago, and also earned the praise of Mister. It''s precisely because he''s with a classmate that he brought a present."


    "No, no, no, how can we accept this?" Jin Xiaoyan shook her head.


    Zheng wanted to refuse.


    However, Cheng Yu did not give him this opportunity. Seeing the refusal on his face, he directly said, "It''s just some ordinary gadgets."


    He then instructed the followers behind him, "Open these two boxes."


    The four lackeys quickly opened the box. Everyone looked down and saw that one of the box had good paper in it, and the other box had pen, ink, and two sides of inkstone.


    They were all things a scholar needed to use.


    "Brother Zheng, are you relieved now?" The corners of Cheng Yu''s eyes were filled with faint amusement.


    Jin Xiaoyan was relieved to see that the two boxes were filled with ink and paper. Since her son had used up a lot of money to go to the Academy, it didn''t matter if she took them or not. She turned to Zheng and said,


    "Since it''s your classmate''s kind intentions, then take it."


    Jin Xiaoyan thought that they were the same as the ones she had bought in the past, but she didn''t know the difference was like the difference between heaven and earth.


    On the other side, Jin Xiaodie was completely shocked. Normally, her son would be going to the academy, and she would be the one to pick out the ink and paper in the shop.


    She was proud that her family had some spare money. Those second-rate stores were never for sale, and she was only willing to go to better ones.


    However, when he went to those expensive shops, he could only feel the fine Xuan paper for a bit. In the end, he could only choose the medium- grade Xuan paper and usually told his son to save them.


    And now, in front of him, there was actually a box full of the most expensive Xuan paper of the South Mist Temple, as well as an inkstone and an inkstone ¡­


    Zheng''s eyes were also fixed on the inkstone.


    That was the emblem, which cost thirty to forty silver taels each. There were four to five of them in the box.


    Scholar Mo Chen was a student of the academy. Which one of them didn''t want to have a good inkstone platform?


    Even though he and Brother Cheng had a deep friendship, it was impossible for him to accept such an expensive gift.


    "I really can''t do this ¡­" Zheng waved his hands and stepped back, bowing with both hands. "I appreciate your kindness, Brother Cheng. This gift is too valuable. If I accept it, it will ruin our friendship."


    Cheng Yu already expected that Zheng wouldn''t accept it. He walked into the room and stood there. "If Brother Zheng doesn''t accept it, then I won''t leave today."


    That was what he said. He looked extremely tough, but there was a gentle smile in his eyes.


    Zheng was helpless.


    How could he not know Cheng Yu''s thoughts. Although his family wasn''t rich, but he didn''t want to live off of his close friends. Cheng Yu was so sincere, which made him feel very troubled.


    Jin Xiaoyan didn''t understand the strangeness of this gift and thought that it was just some ordinary goods. When she saw Cheng Yu''s attitude, she instead urged her son, "Since Young Master Cheng has spoken like this, then your son will accept it."


    Cheng Yu also smiled. "In the future, I still have a lot of things to ask Brother Zheng for advice when I study in the academy. Brother Zheng, you don''t need to refuse with such a small favor."


    A small heart... To Cheng Yu, it might not be worth much, but to their family, it was truly precious.


    However, the gift had already been delivered. If he did not accept it, it would only be making him lose face. He was a person who always kept his word ¡­ Zheng finally let out a long sigh. "Fine, I can''t change Brother Cheng''s decision."


    "That''s right." Cheng Yu shook off his fan and smiled.


    Jin Xiaodie looked at the noble young master in the room, and then looked at the precious gifts outside.


    However, at the same time, his ambition was also ignited like a flame on a spring day, slowly burning up along with the wind.


    This young master called Cheng Yu must have a very respectable status. His surname was Cheng, and this top family in Lin Shui county also had the same surname. Could it be ¡­


    But was he a member of that family?


    If that was the case, he would try his best to establish a relationship with them. At that time, with the help of his influence, he would definitely make that ¡­


    Hatred burst out of Jin Xiaodie''s eyes.


    Was he?


    His gaze began to wander again.


    However, she couldn''t inquire about his background in front of the guests and could only swallow it down. She forced a smile and said, "It''s just nice that Young Master Cheng is here. We''re about to eat. Why don''t we go together?"


    This struggle and small action of hers seemed inconspicuous, but it was a pity that she was facing Cheng Yu.


    Cheng Yu withdrew the corner of his eyes. His slender index finger moved back and forth on the white jade mountain. He had a faint smile on his face, but no other expression could be seen on his face.

 C85

    Hearing her second sister''s words, Jin Xiaoyan quickly added, "Yes, yes! "Please sit down and eat, Young Master Cheng."


    Cheng Yu was on good terms with Zheng. It didn''t matter if he stayed for dinner, but if he did stay, it might cause unnecessary trouble.


    He then glanced at Jin Xiaodie, turned to Jin Xiaoyan and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, but I still have some things to take care of at home. When I have some free time, I will come again to try your cooking skills."


    If it were any ordinary person, perhaps Jin Xiaoyan would have asked them to stay for a bit longer. But as for Cheng Yu, although she could not see that his family background was extraordinary, she could only hope to feel that it was different.


    Afraid that her son would be mocked for his pettiness in the future, Jin Xiaoyan put on a reasonable face and said, "Since you have matters to attend to at home, you should return quickly. But next time, you must try out my cooking skills."


    Cheng Yu agreed with a smile on his face and walked to the door.


    Standing beside the carriage, Cheng Yu lifted the curtain of the carriage, turned around, and said, "I have matters to discuss with you, do you want to return to the academy or not ¡­"


    Zheng nodded and smiled. "I know what I''m doing. I don''t need your advice."


    Every day, countless people would gather around him, but there was a strange phenomenon. Whoever had a good relationship with Cheng Yu, with his green eyes, would be quickly isolated by their other classmates. There were already examples of this, but Cheng Yu did not have a very good relationship with that person, so he did not pay much attention to Cheng Yu.


    Afterwards, he chatted with Zheng for a while. Although their families were very different, the more they chatted, the closer they got. Cheng Yu didn''t dare to get too close to Zheng in the institute, so he could only privately congratulate him.


    Cheng Yu smiled as he rubbed his nose.


    It was just a relationship between friends, but it made it seem like a relationship between a man and a woman. It was laughable. However, such days would only be temporary. In the future, this good friend of his might even curry favor with him during the Imperial Examinations.


    "Don''t send me off, aunty is still waiting for you to go back to dinner." "Yeah." Cheng Yu patted Zheng''s shoulder. If there were no outsiders in your family, I would also want to stay and eat together. "


    Cheng Yu looked inside the door as he spoke.


    Although Zheng didn''t know his second aunt too well, he knew Cheng Yu well. Looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he didn''t have a good impression of his second aunt. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have left after standing there for such a short time. As for his second aunt, she had always been in love with him, and Cheng Yu was extremely disgusted with others fawning on him because of his family background ¡­


    "Don''t worry, I won''t say anything." Zheng immediately said.


    Cheng Yu let out a "pah": "You speak these words as if I''m afraid that you would spout nonsense and intentionally gag you."


    Zheng laughed and pushed him. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let''s go! I''m in a hurry to eat!"


    Cheng Yu then laughed and got on the car.


    After Cheng Yu left, the family returned to the main hall.


    On Jin Xiaoyan''s left was a small golden plate and on her right was her son, Zheng.


    "Son, look at how you''ve been at the academy for the past ten days. You''ve lost weight so you should eat more." She picked up a piece of Red Braised Meat and sent it into Zheng''s bowl.


    Under the eager gaze of his mother, Zheng picked up the piece of Red Braised Meat and chewed it. His eyes lit up and he gave her a thumbs up. "Mom, this meat is fat but not greasy. It''s salty and fragrant!"


    Jin Xiaoyan was overjoyed upon hearing his praise. She smiled widely as she picked up another piece of Red Braised Meat. "If you like it, eat more."


    She picked up a cucumber and stuffed it into her mouth. Although she was eating, she seemed to be in a daze.


    After being happy for a while, Jin Xiaoyan finally noticed her sister, "Second sister, why do you only eat vegetarian food? What is so delicious about cucumbers? Come! "Taste the fragrance of this chicken soup."


    With that, he took a bowl and scooped up the chicken soup.


    Only Zheng and Jin Xiaodie were left at the table.


    Jin Xiaodie picked up another handful of green vegetables and was about to put them into her mouth, but found that she couldn''t swallow them down, so she put them down.


    After a moment of silence, she squeezed a smile out of her mouth. "Zheng, can I ask you something?"


    Zheng Xuexin sighed silently.


    "Second Aunt, what do you want to ask?" Zheng looked up at Jin Xiaodie, his expression as gentle and polite as ever.


    It was hard for Jin Xiaodie to say anything. If she was just curious, then it would be fine. However, she had a guilty conscience, so she stuttered when she asked, "You ¡­" "You ¡­"


    Zheng listened patiently. There was a sound coming from the kitchen. Jin Xiaoyan was coming back with chicken soup.


    Jin Xiaodie was anxious, so she simply let out a breath. "That Young Master Cheng who came to our house just now, is he a member of a top family in Linshui County?"


    He had long anticipated that Jin Xiaodie would ask about Cheng Yu, so he didn''t need to think too much to guess her thoughts. If it wasn''t for Cheng Yu''s power, then it was for Cheng Yu''s money.


    Since his second aunt had moved into his house, what had happened in her house should not be as simple as'' quarreling ''. A good friend of hers, a person who was as elegant as Zhu Lan, was somehow dragged into his second aunt''s disorderly affairs.


    "My relationship with Cheng Yu is quite ordinary. We''re just classmates ¡­"


    Jin Xiaodie immediately answered, "His relationship is normal, but why would he give you such a precious gift?"


    Zheng pretended not to know. "What valuable gift? Isn''t it just some ink and paper? "


    Jin Xiaodie thought that he really didn''t know what was good for them, and despised her family. She then made a grimace, "Silly girl, those are ¡­"


    However, he didn''t want to say it out loud. Instead, he smiled and said, "Even if it isn''t expensive, it is because of my kind intentions. How can you say that their relationship is ordinary?"


    Zheng sneered in his heart. His second aunt was indeed not as friendly as she looked. She was still thinking about his nineties after her mother took so much care of her. She didn''t want to tell him that those things were worth a lot.


    Then he couldn''t tell her the truth.


    "He really is average. However, he is a man of vast connections and treats everyone so well. As for what his family does, I don''t know. However, I heard that he doesn''t belong to the local people ¡­"


    Zheng thought that if he said he didn''t know anything, Jin Xiaodie wouldn''t believe him, so he just lied to her.


    As expected, when this ambiguous answer came out, Jin Xiaodie was stunned. She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say next.


    "What are you two talking about?" Jin Xiaoyan walked in with chicken soup in her hand.

 C86

    When she heard the conversation between the two of them outside the house, she was very happy. The fact that her second sister was able to speak in harmony with her son showed that there was no longer any animosity in their hearts.


    However, he didn''t expect that once he entered the room and asked, the atmosphere suddenly became silent.


    Zheng coughed, stood up and took the bowl. "I just told second aunt about her family''s matters. She should be feeling sad right now."


    Jin Xiaodie had a guilty conscience. She would never let Jin Xiaoyan know that she was inquiring about her classmates in Zheng, so she followed suit.


    "Kid, why can''t you bring up a pot?" Jin Xiaoyan patted Zheng''s shoulder.


    "Mom, I know I was wrong." Zheng helped his mother to sit down and said with a smile.


    "Why are you apologizing to me?" She pretended to be angry and glared at her son. She lifted her chin and said to Jin Xiaodie, "Hurry up and apologize to your second aunt."


    Zheng turned around and bowed deeply. "Aunt, I was wrong. I hope you don''t take it to heart."


    Jin Xiaodie stood up hurriedly and held Zheng''s arm. "It''s alright. I''ve been feeling very sad about it for a long time."


    Although she said that, no matter how one looked at it, it didn''t seem right.


    Jin Xiaoyan thought that her sister was still grieving, so she pulled her son over and reminded him, "Before your second aunt and second uncle have made up their minds, don''t ever mention his family matters in front of her again."


    Zheng nodded his head and smiled warmly.


    After the three of them had finished their meal, Jin Xiaodie grabbed a bunch of dishes, excused herself saying that she wanted to wash the dishes, and went into the kitchen.


    Jin Xiaoyan couldn''t help but sigh as she recalled the scene from last night.


    "Mom, what''s wrong?" Zheng Xuejian tilted his head and asked.


    "Mom''s fine." Jin Xiaoyan gently patted Zheng''s hand, but the worry in her eyes was obvious.


    Zheng followed his mother''s gaze and stopped at Jin Xiaodie''s back. "Are you worried for your second aunt?" What''s wrong with Second Aunt? I don''t think it''s as simple as having a conversation with Second Uncle. "


    That''s right, if only it was as simple as bickering, but things ¡­ He almost said that. Then, he was shocked and forced a smile to hide his expression. He couldn''t let Zheng find out that her second aunt was divorced no matter what.


    Since ancient times, only a woman without talent or virtue would be let off. If he told her about it, wouldn''t that make it difficult for his second sister?


    "Hey, what''s going on in your head, kid?" Jin Xiaoyan''s eyes were wide open as she poked Zheng''s head with her finger. "Your second aunt had a quarrel with your second uncle. She''s diligent and virtuous. Your second uncle will regret taking your second aunt back in a few days."


    * *


    On the side of the county, Jin Weiwei and Little Fugui found a place to eat and went to a specially-made furniture shop. They picked some tables, chairs, and the like and asked them to send them over later.


    These items did not seem like much, but because they required high quality materials, they spent close to ten taels of silver.


    Jin Weiwei had just received three hundred taels of silver, so she didn''t care too much about the small amount of money spent on her. Jin Weiwei had just received three hundred taels of silver, so she didn''t care too much about the small amount of money spent on her money.


    The shop that made the chairs and tables was not too far from the butcher''s shop, it was just two blocks away. Jin Weiwei took the key to open the brass door, and then opened the whole door with a push of her hand.


    Since the shop had been cleaned earlier, there wasn''t much dust. All he could see was emptiness.


    Before the furniture was delivered, Jin Weiwei turned around and commanded, "Xiaoqing, go and clean the floor inside again. Little Fugui and I will wipe this door clean. Since we''re going to open a door to welcome guests, we must especially pay attention to cleanliness."


    At this moment, Tao Xiaoqing still felt his heart ache. Holding his chest, he answered as he picked up a broom and began to clean.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but smile when she saw his expression. She turned her head, but met the gaze of Xiao Fugui.


    Xiao Fugui quickly looked away, "I''ll go get some water."


    Recalling the other party''s cute jealous look in the restaurant, Jin Weiwei smiled even wider.


    With the slightly cold water in the well, Jin Weiwei and little Fugui started to wipe up the door board with a white cloth. With the slightly cold water in the well, Jin Weiwei and little Fugui started to wipe up the door board with a white cloth.


    Just as he finished cleaning up, he saw a few waiters walking over with tables and chairs.


    Jin Weiwei recognized it at a glance. It was the furniture she had bought, and she didn''t expect it to be delivered so soon.


    "Is it Manager Jin?" The shop assistant in the lead was dressed in a short suit. He placed the table at the entrance of the shop and cupped his fists as he asked with a smile.


    "That''s me." Jin Weiwei walked out from the door.


    The shop assistant, who was in the lead, pointed at the tables and chairs. "This is what you wanted. I''ve brought it over for you. Do you want to bring it into the shop now?"


    Looking back, she saw that Tao Xiaoqing was still struggling with the dust on the ground. Jin Weiwei shook her head. "It''s better if we don''t. We''ll carry it ourselves later."


    She took out half a tael of silver from her sleeve and stuffed it into the hands of the fellow in the lead, "It''s been hard on you to carry these things all the way here! "You and these brothers can have some of the silver taels."


    "This ¡­" The shop assistant in the lead hesitated for a moment. When the silver taels fell into his hands, he said with a smile, "How can I be embarrassed about this?"


    "If you guys feel embarrassed, you can just take care of my butcher shop in the future."


    This was the real purpose of Jin Xian.


    When the shop assistant in the lead heard this, he pinched the silver taels in his hands. "Ok, since Manager Jin has encountered any trouble in the past, feel free to look for us!"


    Jin Weiwei smiled and nodded, just like the eldest sister next door.


    Tao Xiaoqing had just cleared the dust outside the fence when he witnessed his master''s action. His heart ached again. "Sister Weiwei, why are you giving money to those waiters?"


    Jin Weiwei laughed heartily. "Little Qing, you don''t understand. Didn''t you hear that a thousand gold was a huge sum of money for a horse''s bone?"


    What the heck was this? Tao Xiaoqing was confused.


    Suddenly, a voice came from outside. "Sister Jin is right!"


    The two of them turned to look and did not know when, but Shen Cui Hua was standing in front of the store''s entrance.


    "Sister Jin sure knows how to conduct herself!" Shen Cui Hua praised sincerely and turned her head to ask her husband: "Don''t you think so?"


    Shopkeeper Qian didn''t dare to say no. He also felt that Jin Weiwei was indeed a good person. He generously praised her, "Sister Jin, you''ve spent a lot of money."

 C87

    Both of them praised their boss'' actions, making Tao Xiaoqing even more puzzled.


    Shen Cui Hua saw that Tao Xiaoqing was confused and depressed, so she explained in a kind tone: "Don''t just look at how your shopkeeper paid the half-moon silver that he shouldn''t have. If anyone else knew, they would only think that your storekeeper was kind."


    To be able to win the hearts of people with a mere silver tael was truly an extremely good deal.


    With that, Tao Xiaoqing finally understood and immediately became happy. "My boss is really smart."


    Taking a few steps forward, Jin Weiwei pulled Shen Cui Hua''s hand and asked, "Why is elder sister here today?" I won''t open for business until tomorrow. "


    "It''s because you''re opening for business tomorrow that I''m here today." Shen Cui Hua''s voice was clear and crisp: "I came today to help you."


    "Many thanks, Big Sister Shen. However, I really have nothing else to do here ¡­"


    Shen Cui Hua waved her hand and interrupted her: "How come you''re not busy? First take all your furniture into the butcher''s shop, and leave it outside."


    "Big sister is right." Jin Weiwei turned her head and shouted to Tao Xiaoqing and Xiao Fugui, "Both of you, come over here and help me!"


    "No, no!" Shen Cui Hua''er immediately pulled on Jin Wei Wei and turned around as she shouted, "Are they all dead? Hurry up and come out to work! "


    In an instant, five to six male servants came crashing down from the street.


    "So many people!" Jin Weiwei was taken aback. "Sister really did come prepared."


    "Of course, how can you not bring people along to help?" Shen Cui Hua proudly raised her head.


    Under the command of Shen Cui Hua and Jin Weiwei, the servants and Tao Xiaoqing started to move the furniture to the butcher''s shop.


    "No, that''s not right, put this here ¡­" Shen Cui Hua ordered.


    Jin Weiwei also ordered, "Don''t put that against the wall. It''s easy to get covered in dust."


    After some work, they were finally done. The servants retreated like water out of the room.


    Jin Weiwei forcefully pressed Shen Cui Hua to sit down and rest. Shopkeeper Qian felt very comfortable sitting next to his wife.


    After bringing a pot of tea, Jin Weiwei poured a cup for Shen Cui Hua and passed one cup to Shopkeeper Qian.


    Shopkeeper Qian received the tea and took a sip. The coarse taste of the tea leaves almost made him puke.


    Shen Cui Hua''s first reaction was to discover her husband''s abnormality, and fiercely stepped on him under the table. "Gu Dong", he forcefully swallowed the tea and almost choked.


    Shen Cui Hua Fang turned her head and asked Jin Weiwei with a comfortable expression: "What did you just say?"


    Jin Weiwei organized her thoughts and said, "I also know that I''m in the pig and mutton business. Every day, I have to carry the slaughtered pigs and sheep to this butcher shop. However, the house I''m renting in the county is not far from here, but it''s not close either."


    Recalling that she would have to use a cart to transport hundreds of pounds of pig and lamb meat every day, Jin Weiwei felt a slight headache coming on.


    "That''s why I wanted to ask if there were any workers that were specially sent to the county." Jin Weiwei had a serious expression on her face.


    "Hey, what do I think it is?" He turned his head to look at his husband. "Old Qian, I''ll leave this matter to you."


    Shopkeeper Qian didn''t want to take this trouble on himself, but now that their relationship was so good, he could only nod his head. "Sister Jin, tell me the address of your home. I''ll send someone to pull it every morning."


    "If that''s the case, then thank you very much, Shopkeeper Qian. May I know how high the cost is again?" Jin Weiwei took down the abacus from the counter.


    Shopkeeper Qian glanced at Shen Cui Hua who was staring at him again and quickly said: "There''s no need to pay, since there''s still ¡­ By the way, yes, by the way. "


    If it really was along the way, then it would be weird. Jin Weiwei looked at Shen Cui Hua, and her heart couldn''t help but feel grateful.


    No matter what, she couldn''t let Sister Shen help her for free. Jin Weiwei secretly thought that if she couldn''t get the sausages for the Qualcomm Restaurant in the future, they would be cheaper.


    After they chatted for a while longer, Shen Cui Hua took her leave with the shopkeeper, and Jin Weiwei and the rest cleaned up the shop and went home.


    At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and the orange glow dyed half of the city in red.


    The three of them walked home, and as soon as they entered the yard, they saw Jin Dabao lying on a reclining chair like an old man.


    Seeing the three of them, Jin Dabao immediately sat up. With a furious look, he asked, "Where did the three of you go? How come you''re only back now? "


    He had obviously not done anything, from sleeping early to hiding at home to enjoy his blessings, but now he still had the face to speak of them.


    Tao Xiaoqing did not dare to make a sound as he was the boss'' father after all. Little Fugui had always ignored him.


    Jin Weiwei was not used to Jin Dabao''s bad temper. She immediately rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Where did we go? Do you have the nerve to ask that? Do you remember the day after tomorrow when the butcher''s shop will open? "


    Jin Dabao also knew that the butcher''s shop would open tomorrow. Since that was the case, Jin Weiwei and the others must be very busy today.


    After thinking about it, Jin Dabao suddenly felt guilty. He didn''t have any confidence anymore, "I ¡­" "I was just asking. What''s more, if you guys aren''t here for a day, I''m going to starve to death."


    "Do you have no hands or feet, or are you paralyzed in bed?" With a sneer, Jin Weiwei''s feet flew past him like the wind. She coincidentally bumped into the reclining chair, almost causing Jin Dabao to flip over.


    Just as Jin Dabao was about to open his mouth to curse, he heard Jin Weiwei''s hard voice, "Since you say you''re hungry, why don''t you hurry up and cook? We''ve already been tired all day, do you still want us to cook for you? "


    "You ¡­"


    Jin Dabao''s mouth gaped open. When he saw the aggressive attitude of the three, he didn''t dare to say anything in the end. He helplessly ran to the kitchen and cooked a simple meal for them to eat together.


    * *


    The night on the Heaven Stage was as cold as water. The dense stars twinkled in the sky, as if they were one and the same. It was just like a brocade belt filled with Night Pearls.


    Because the store was opening for business tomorrow, before Jin Weiwei went to bed, she specially cleaned and stored the pig and mutton meat, waiting for the money manager to send someone to install it tomorrow.


    He didn''t know if the cattle he slaughtered were enough. Jin Weiwei tossed and turned in her bed, but couldn''t fall asleep, so she decided to just sit up.


    The bright moonlight shone through the half-open table and covered the table with a layer of silver sheen, making it seem like a layer of gauze.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but reach out her hand to touch it. She wasn''t paying attention to the pain. It was so painful that she wrinkled her eyebrows. She looked down and saw bright red blood flowing out.


    "Hiss ¡­" She couldn''t help but cover her fingers.


    She had not done much heavy work in the afternoon and had almost forgotten that she had hurt her finger while repairing the sheepfold in the morning.

 C88

    Tomorrow is the opening day, so he had to be in his best condition.


    After thinking for a moment, she chanted an incantation and entered the space. Jin Weiwei ignored everything else and directly pulled out a few strands of grass.


    This grass could only be used when it was fresh. After chewing it a few times and applying it to his fingers, he felt waves of coldness on his fingers and the wound immediately became much more comfortable.


    The wind blew gently, sending an intoxicating fragrance.


    In this space, there was only a pomegranate tree and green grass. Where did the fragrance come from?


    When Jin Weiwei looked up, she was so surprised that she couldn''t even close her mouth.


    Not far away from him, there was a golden rice wave fluttering in the wind. The fragrance was getting stronger and stronger.


    "A few days ago, I tried to sprinkle some rice and then forgot to take a look. I didn''t expect it to ripen so quickly!" Jin Weiwei walked over in surprise, bent down, and carefully observed everything.


    Happy growing, full rice!


    He rubbed one grain away. The rice was smooth and glistening. It didn''t look like grain or pearls.


    Take a deep breath, a refreshing smell.


    Jin Weiwei had clearly eaten dinner, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a little hungry in her stomach.


    The more she looked at the rice in her hand, the more Jin Weiwei wanted to swallow it down in one gulp ¨C this rice must be very tasty.


    She felt an itch in her heart and shook her head vigorously.


    This won''t do. She had just eaten dinner and now she was cooking. Didn''t she clearly tell others, especially Jin Dabao, that she was going to open a small stove?


    Taking a cloth bag from the room, Jin Weiwei re-entered the space, rubbed a small bag full of rice and hid it.


    The next morning, just as the sun was setting, while Jin Dabao was still fast asleep, the laborer that was sent by Manager Qian had already arrived with a cart.


    Tao Xiaoqing shouted into the yard, "Boss, the meat carrier is here!"


    When Jin Weiwei, who was in the kitchen, heard this, she stuck her head out and said, "You and Fugui can load up the car. I''ll cook for you."


    "Alright!" Tao Xiaoqing agreed as he opened the door to let the shop assistant push in.


    After adding water to the pot, before Jin Dabao woke up, Jin Weiwei put the rice in the pot to boil.


    Gradually, as the water temperature rose, a tempting fragrance drifted out. Jin Weiwei quickly closed the kitchen window and squatted inside, patiently making porridge.


    It was so fragrant! The saliva in his mouth was also uncontrollably secreted.


    After estimating the time and seeing the porridge in the pot getting thicker, Jin Weiwei felt that it was about time, so she quickly scooped it out.


    He had just hidden the bowl of porridge and touched it! The kitchen door began to shake violently.


    Jin Weiwei''s heart skipped a beat. She then heard Jin Dabao''s voice from outside, "Open the door!"


    So it was him. Why did he wake up so early today?


    Jin Weiwei calmed down and opened the door in a flash. She glared at the man, annoyed. "What are you doing so early in the morning?"


    Jin Dabao was naturally reluctant to do so, but he was tickled by the aroma. He stretched his body and looked left and right, "What are you cooking? "So fragrant."


    I was wondering why he woke up so early today. It turns out that he was awakened by the fragrance. He really is a first class lazybones ¡ª Jin Weiwei sneered in her heart.


    "What can I cook? It''s just some rice." She leaned against the door frame and crossed her arms.


    Jin Dabao was unwilling to believe it. He forced his way in and ran towards the stove.


    Jin Weiwei was so excited that she did not move at all.


    However, when Jin Dabao lifted the lid of the wok, it turned out that the rice inside was only ordinary.


    He sniffed the water and said, "No, the smell doesn''t come from here."


    Like a dog, he bent over and sniffed everywhere, from top to bottom, until he smelled under another stove.


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up. She couldn''t help but take two steps forward. The bowl of porridge was hidden there. If he found it ¡­


    At this critical moment, Tao Xiaoqing came over, "Boss, the meat has been prepared. However, someone has to accompany the shop assistant to recognize the way to the shop."


    Jin Weiwei took the opportunity to stand in front of Jin Dabao and hold his arm, pretending to be impatient. "Alright, stop smelling, there''s only this little bit of food in the kitchen. If there''s really good food, how can it escape your eyes?"


    Jin Dabao felt the same.


    "Hurry up and bring that shop assistant to recognize the way. I''ll give you some money for a drink later." Jin Weiwei dragged Jin Dabao outside.


    Hearing that there was money for drinking, Jin Dabao''s mouth opened wide. Having a jug of fine wine, then having a pot of fragrant mutton meat mixed with hot wine and being drunk down the throat was truly a wonderful thing in life.


    Therefore, Jin Dabao didn''t care about anything anymore. He took the silver from Jin Weiwei''s hands and happily went to find the shop assistant.


    Jin Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief. The rice in the wok had also been cooked to the fullest.


    While she was serving the rice, she urged Tao Xiaoqing to dig out the pickled vegetables from the jar. After placing the rice on the table in the living room, Jin Weiwei used cleaning the wok as an excuse and returned to the kitchen.


    She took out the bowl of rice porridge from under the stove. Looking at the sticky and moist rice porridge, she could not help but take a sip.


    It was just one mouthful, but it was only one mouthful. It caused Jin Weiwei''s entire body to widen her eyes. This taste ¡­ The pores all over his body began to moan in comfort.


    This feeling was simply too wonderful. It was smooth, fresh and fragrant. There was also softness and softness to it. He couldn''t even compare it to the Bejewelled Nectar. It was so delicious!


    Jin Weiwei narrowed her eyes in happiness. She had to take two sips in a row before she managed to suppress the gluttony in her stomach.


    This kind of delicious porridge must definitely be eaten by this little rich kid as well.


    She quietly walked into the courtyard and coincidentally met little rich and powerful son. She pulled his hand and said, "Come with me, I left something good for you."


    In the kitchen, little Fugui drank a mouthful of congee from a bowl.


    Jin Weiwei, who was standing at the side, eagerly asked, "How is it?" How about it? Isn''t it delicious? "


    This rice porridge...


    Xiao Fugui didn''t show any joy on his face and instead frowned slightly. "Why is the taste of the congee so smooth?"


    His eyes were extremely serious, just like those sparkling stars in the dark night.


    Being stared at by such a gaze, Jin Weiwei immediately felt an indescribable pressure. She couldn''t help but move her body backwards.


    "This ¡­" She tried her best to think of an excuse as an idea flashed through her mind. She revealed a smile and said, "This, the reason the taste is so delicious is all because there is a secret recipe passed down from our Jin Clan''s ancestors added in."


    Putting down the bowl in his hand, Xiao Fugui slowly stepped forward, "Really? Since this is the secret recipe passed down from our ancestors, why is it that Jin Dabao doesn''t seem to know about it? "


    His tone was very light and indifferent, just like the cool autumn rain, bringing with it a chill that made people tremble.


    With every step he took, Jin Weiwei would take a step back, her big, watery eyes rolling around wildly.


    This time, he was in bad luck. He had forgotten to think of a good excuse. How could he deal with this?

 C89

    "Little Fugui isn''t someone who can be easily fooled," Jin Weiwei complained in her heart.


    He was only thinking about how to fool around with this trial in front of him, but he didn''t notice that behind him was a round firewood. He stepped on it with his little foot.


    "Aiya!" "Ah!" Jin Weiwei cried out in fear. She couldn''t control her body and fell backwards, looking like she was about to fall back onto the ground with her face towards the sky.


    She tightly closed her eyes, waiting for the expected pain.


    At that moment, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, and a shadow fell over her, followed by a sweet smell of grass.


    Jin Weiwei''s eyelashes trembled as she opened her eyes.


    Her facial features were picturesque, and she was as handsome as the autumn. Just like that, she had completely occupied her field of vision.


    It was the little rich boy who had hugged her waist in that moment of imminent peril.


    The two of them were so close that they could touch each other''s skin at close proximity.


    The warm breath of her breath sprayed onto each other. Looking at such a deep face, Jin Weiwei''s heart beat so fast that it was almost hard to breathe.


    On her collar, her small ears, which were like white jade, quietly turned red.


    "You ¡­ Let me go! " Jin Weiwei tried her best to suppress the bashfulness churning in her heart.


    However, Little Fugui didn''t budge. His gaze was fixated on the beautiful red and tender face of the transvestite after the rain, as his vision swept across that rosy spot.


    "Speak ¡­" He whispered into her ear with a warm breath. "What''s so weird about this porridge?"


    As the two of them stuck together, Jin Weiwei''s ears began to itch. Her mind buzzed and her soul seemed to be floating.


    Fiercely pinching herself, she grinded her teeth and pushed Fugui away. She shouted at him in embarrassment and anger, "I already told you that this is an exclusive secret recipe, why are you still asking!"


    He pushed open the kitchen door and ran out.


    Looking at Jin Weiwei''s back, Xiao Fugui''s large hand touched his lips. Only then did he touch the smooth skin of the young girl.


    As if there was still some fragrance remaining, his pupils seemed to drip thick ink into them as he slowly licked his lips.


    After thinking for a while, he turned around, picked up the bowl of porridge, and gulped down the bowl of porridge that was as fragrant as she was.


    * *


    Jin Weiwei walked from the newly installed house in the county town all the way to the butcher''s shop. She didn''t even dare to look directly at little Fugui.


    "Boss, what''s wrong? Why is your face so red? " Tao Xiaoqing turned his head as he walked, feeling very puzzled in his heart.


    Today was the day before the butcher''s shop opened. Could it be that the boss'' elder sister was sick?


    Beside him, Xiao Fugui gave a light chuckle.


    Jin Weiwei glared furiously at Tao Xiaoqing. "Walk your own way, you talk too much!"


    After the three of them entered the shop, Jin Dabao impatiently jumped down from his chair and said, "Why have you come so late?" Do you know that I''m in a hurry? "


    Jin Weiwei glanced at the whole pile of pig and lamb meat on the counter with a dark expression. It seemed that Jin Dabao hadn''t done anything since coming to the store.


    Not only was the fresh pig and lamb meat not cut in half, they didn''t even chop off the meat that was ready to be used as sausages.


    She said mockingly, "Other than eating and playing, what other urgent matter do you have?"


    "What do you mean?"


    He could only stay here and cause trouble. He might as well let him go as far as he could, so she threw him a small piece of silver and told him to go drink.


    Jin Dabao held the white and flowery silver in his hand. He couldn''t be bothered to fight for Jin Weiwei right now, so he flung his hand and ran out.


    It was still early, and there were only a couple of people who came to buy vegetables. Taking advantage of this time, Jin Weiwei divided the whole piece of meat according to its location and placed it on the counter.


    The little rich kid brandished his knife like rain, easily chopping the pickled meat into a filling.


    After installing the sausages, everything was ready. Jin Weiwei wiped her hands with her apron and looked at the shop she had created with her own hands. Her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment:


    "Little Qing!"


    "Boss!"


    "Put on the preferential notice and light the firecrackers. We''re opening for business today!" Jin Weiwei happily announced.


    Red firecrackers hung high up, and Tao Xiaoqing ignited the fuse and hid to the side.


    Crack! Crack! Crack! "Crackle!


    The loud and clear voice caused the neighbors to stretch their heads out to look. The passersby who were passing by also stopped in their tracks.


    Jin Weiwei walked to the door of the butcher''s shop and shouted, "The Golden Record Brothel is open for business today. For the celebration, you will be rewarded. Anyone who comes to the butcher''s shop will be paid one catty for a specially-made sausage!"


    He could even give sausages to buy meat, yet this kind of thing happened?


    Everyone''s eyes immediately lit up as they surrounded the Golden Note Meat Shop, making it seem as if there were three layers on the inside and three layers on the outside.


    "Boss, I want one catty of pork!" A large man walked over.


    "I want two catties of mutton!"


    "I want one too, I want three or four catties. However, Miss, if I were to buy four catties for you, would you be able to give me four sausages?" An old man stroked his beard, looking extremely crafty.


    The surrounding people also instantly quietened down. They all looked at Jin Weiwei in unison, holding their breaths as they waited for her answer.


    Hey! This old man was thinking too beautifully! Do you really think that the boss''s butcher shop is a charity? Tao Xiaoqing puffed up his eyes and was about to walk over.


    Unexpectedly, in the next second, Jin Weiwei laughed and shouted, "Buy a few pounds and send them to the nodes. If you buy four pounds, I''ll send you four nodes!"


    As soon as he said that, the crowd began to boil and all of them started to crowd forward, as if their lives depended on it.


    "Miss, I don''t want that one jin ¡­"


    At this point, Tao Xiaoqing, who had already cut the meat, was dumbfounded.


    He heard the other side say, "Just give me five catties!"


    So many!


    Tao Xiaoqing immediately shouted in high spirits, "Alright, please wait a moment."


    "I want ten catties!"


    "Aiya, young lad, don''t squeeze this aunt. That boss wants a 7 to 8 jin one ¡­"


    A joyful smile appeared on Jin Weiwei''s face. "Everyone, don''t worry! "Today, I have prepared a lot of dishes in my Golden Note Meat Shop. Everyone has a share."


    There were two people standing at the corner of the street not far from the meat shop. They had come to congratulate Jin Weiwei on her opening of the restaurant, Shen Cui Hua and Shopkeeper Qian.


    Shopkeeper Qian pointed at Jin Weiwei and said, "Look, what else can I say about you being smart, but you''re worried that her business won''t go smoothly."


    When she woke up this morning, Shen Cui Hua was still at home worrying. She was always worried that if no one came to visit Jin Weiwei''s business since it was the first day, she would be sad.


    Therefore, she forcefully dragged shopkeeper Qian to support Jin Weiwei. Seeing the scene of people running around in front of the butcher''s shop, her face revealed a relieved smile, "This girl is really smart, let''s go!" Let''s help her. "

 C90

    Shopkeeper Qian hurriedly walked forward a few steps and stopped Shen Cui Hua, sighing as he said: "Aiyo, my wife, you don''t need to cause any trouble. Tell me, do you know how to chop meat? Or at the meeting? "


    He had been pampered since he was young. Even though he had a very aggressive personality, he had never done any heavy work. He didn''t even recognize the weight, let alone the pig and lamb meat.


    Her footsteps paused, Shen Cui Hua thought for a bit, and realised that there was nothing she could do to help.


    However, he had come out in a hurry today and had only brought a young maid with him.


    Seeing his wife stop, Shopkeeper Qian continued to persuade her earnestly, "You! Following them home would be the greatest help to Sister Jin. "


    "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? " Shen Cui Hua was instantly angered and raised her eyebrows.


    Manager Qian had to raise his hand and swear to the heavens, "Madam, I definitely didn''t mean it that way. Even if you lent me ten bear heart leopards'' guts, I wouldn''t dare."


    Snorting coldly, Shen Cui Hua flung the handkerchief in her hand and headed home. Before she left, she urged Shopkeeper Qian to send someone to deliver the wedding gift.


    Actually, she also understood that Shopkeeper Qian was speaking the truth. Even with her current personality, she really couldn''t really do much. If she forced her way in, she might even end up doing him a disservice. She could only give her blessings to express her feelings.


    Jin Weiwei did not know that Shen Cui Hua and Shopkeeper Qian had already come for a stroll, she was frantically cutting the sausages into pieces and distributing them to the people who bought the meat.


    The sun was rising slowly from the east to the south, and the early morning sky was warm from the cold smoke.


    In a short moment, aside from the little rich and rich, the other two were covered in sweat. However, the number of commoners who came to buy meat increased.


    On the street of Lucky Street, there was a long queue in front of Jiang Ji''s butcher shop.


    "Man, how much is a catty of mutton?" Wang Xiaosi asked.


    "One silver coin!" The assistant said without looking up.


    "One coin?" Wang Xiaosi was so shocked that he almost threw the basket in his hands.


    The people in line were also discussing.


    "The price has risen again?"


    "Well, what can be done? "We can''t not buy it. Who told you that he''s the only butcher''s shop in the area?"


    Everyone was discussing with each other and sighing when an auntie suddenly appeared and pulled on Wang Xiaosi''s arm.


    "Sigh!" Mother, why are you here? Didn''t you go to buy food? " Wang Xiaosi asked in surprise.


    Eldest Aunt said in a hoarse voice as she pulled her son forward, "Stop asking, hurry up and come with me. There is a new butcher''s shop on the west side of the street. It''s only worth half a tael of silver per catty of mutton. How many sets of sausages are given out for how many catties of meat you buy?"


    Such a good thing actually happened?


    Wang Xiaosi was stunned for a moment.


    Jiang Ji''s butcher shop customers were also shocked. They reacted quickly and surrounded him, talking at once, "Auntie Li, is what you said true?"


    "That''s right, Aunt Li, are you joking?"


    Aunt Li saw that no one would believe her, so she patted her chest and promised, "We''re all neighbors, how could I, Li Da Hua, lie to you? If you don''t believe me, then come with me. "


    As soon as he said this, a group of people immediately followed. Jiang Ji''s butcher''s shop was immediately flooded with birds, making it seem as if it were cold and quiet.


    All of the waiters who were cutting meat were dumbfounded by what they saw. They hurriedly threw away the meat in their hands and ran towards the backyard.


    Jiang Qingshou was in his room counting his money. Last month''s income was not very good, and Shen Cui Hua had cheated him of fifty taels of silver. Plus, Jin Xiao Die had spent a lot in the past few days, so she couldn''t make ends meet.


    "What did you buy for an entire month, you actually spent eight taels of silver!" Jiang Qingshou was getting impatient as he cursed, "Damn it!" "That prodigal woman, luckily I gave her up."


    Just as he was counting, a sharp voice came from the courtyard, "Not good, not good!" "Shopkeeper, this is bad!"


    The word "not good" interrupted Jiang Qingshu''s calculations. He stood up and slammed the abacus onto the table.


    He kicked the door open and shouted at the employees outside: "What are you howling for?" Is your father dead, or is your mother dead?


    His words made the shop assistant feel scared. He quickly shut his mouth and stood obediently in the yard, not daring to say a single word.


    Seeing him like this, Jiang Qingshou became even angrier. He kicked the shop assistant''s butt again and scolded him harshly, "What are you pretending to be mute for now? What happened, hurry up and say it! "


    After being scolded and beaten, the shop assistant felt extremely wronged. "Someone from who knows where opened a butcher''s shop and stole away all our guests," he said with a mournful face.


    What? Jiang Qingshou was furious! There was actually someone who dared to snatch business from someone with the surname Jiang; this was clearly stealing food from the mouth of a tiger.


    He grabbed the assistant''s collar and asked, "What''s the name of the boss? Where is the meat shop? "


    How could the shop assistant know about this sort of thing? It was only because he had run away when he saw the customers that he hurried over to inform them.


    "I don''t know ¡­" The shop assistant''s entire body became timid. He was afraid that he would get hurt again. Seeing that his boss was about to attack again, he immediately closed his eyes and shouted, "I seem to have heard that the butcher''s shop is called Golden Meat Shop. Logically speaking, the owner''s surname should be Jin!"


    The surname ''Jin'' immediately brought back the bad things that happened to Jiang Qingshou a few days ago.


    Did that little hoof really spread the meat all the way to the county?


    She actually started her business so quickly?!


    Jiang Qingshou cursed. He immediately decided to check it out and figure it out.


    After making up his mind, Jiang Qing Shou shook off the associate and walked out in large strides.


    A carriage was parked in the innermost corner of West Gate Street.


    Not far away, however, the Golden Note Meat Shop could be said to be packed with people, and there was an endless stream of people coming to buy pork and mutton.


    Jin Weiwei picked up a white handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. With a smile, she handed three sausages over to a customer. "You can take them. Next time, you must come again."


    Hearing this, someone jeered, "Boss, you don''t need to say that. Your house is giving out sausages at such a low price. If we don''t come, wouldn''t we be fools?"


    Instantly, waves of laughter rang out.


    "F * ck his grandmother, doesn''t this mean that the person who is buying meat from Jiang Ji''s butcher is a fool?"


    The curtain of the carriage was flung aside. Jiang Qingshu jumped down from the carriage and looked maliciously at Jin Weiwei, who was smiling like a blossoming flower.


    This b * tch dared to steal his business! His hands clenched into fists. "Jin Weiwei, I, Jiang Qingshu, will never allow you to do as you wish!"


    He turned around and waved to the shop assistant beside him. "Come here!"

 C91

    He whispered a few words into the shop assistant''s ear, causing the shop assistant to nod his head repeatedly.


    Finally, he raised his head and asked, "Boss, is this okay?"


    "There''s nothing wrong with me taking action!" Jiang Qingshu had his hands behind his back, full of confidence. He was just a cheap little girl, wasn''t it easy to deal with her?


    "Just go, I''ll give you a silver tael as reward after you succeed!" Jiang Qingshou cast a sidelong glance at the shop assistant.


    One tael of silver! It was enough for him to enjoy himself in a flowerbed.


    The shop assistant''s face revealed a salivating expression.


    Since his boss was so confident, the shop assistant didn''t hesitate any longer. He took the silver from Jiang Qingshu and walked into a cloth shop on the street.


    He then said to the shop owner, "Give me some good clothes!"


    * *


    The sun was setting in the west. It was already afternoon.


    Tao Xiaoqing cut the meat into pieces until his hands turned soft. Large drops of sweat dripped down his forehead. A damp black patch appeared on his grey outer garment.


    Jin Weiwei could see the fatigue in his eyes. She went forward to grab the machete, "Xiaoqing, go distribute the sausages to the customers."


    Tao Xiaoqing glanced at the crowd of people who were waiting to buy the meat. With a troubled expression on his young and tender face, he said, "Boss, who''s going to ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei interrupted him before he could finish.


    She pushed Tao Xiaoqing to the side and said with a faint smile, "I''ll handle the splitting of the meat. Don''t worry about it."


    Although he felt that this was not appropriate, he did not have any strength left in him, so Tao Xiaoqing could only obediently listen to him.


    "Hey, what are you pushing?" A fat aunt turned her head and glared at him unhappily.


    The young man who had squeezed into the store tried his best to maintain his body without backing down. With a fawning look on his face, he said, "Aunt, my wife has just given birth to a child and is very weak. I heard that the store''s meat is cheap. Can you let me buy some for her to mend her body?"


    Yo! It turned out he was buying meat for his newly produced wife. His eldest sister-in-law immediately developed a favorable impression of this young man.


    Nowadays, it was rare to see a man who understood how to empathize with a useless wife.


    "You are such a considerate young master. Alright, then you buy it first. There''s no need to rush me, aunt."


    When the surrounding people heard this, they also retreated.


    Naturally, Jin Weiwei was also attracted by this young man''s attention.


    The young man in the blue robe steadied himself and came to stand in front of Jin Weiwei. He stood there nervously, holding the hem of his shirt tightly. He looked very cautious.


    Why did this person suddenly become bashful? Jin Weiwei was somewhat puzzled.


    The young man who looked like a scholar asked softly, "Lady!" How much is a catty of mutton? "


    So she was afraid that the meat would be too expensive, Jin Weiwei suddenly realized.


    "Half a dollar!" She replied straightforwardly.


    The young master''s face immediately revealed an expression of pleasant surprise, and he let go of his burden, "Give me two catties."


    Jin Weiwei swiftly cut two kilograms of meat and passed it to the young master. "Here you go!"


    The young master took it from his pocket and took out a silver coin, handing it over.


    Unexpectedly, she only took a portion of one clean and slender hand and pushed the rest back.


    Jin Weiwei smiled at him and said, "Since your wife has just finished production, she needs money for everything. You can take the rest and buy some other supplements for her."


    The young man froze on the spot, and his eyes drifted a little.


    Little Fugui coincidentally raised his head and glanced over, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised.


    At this moment, the commoners who came to buy meat also raised their thumbs.


    "Miss, you''re really kind!"


    "That''s right, this old man is also a businessman. I don''t think I''m as good as this lady."


    "I will only come to this Golden Note Meat Shop to buy meat in the future due to the kindness of this lady!"


    "Young gongzi, why aren''t you thanking this lady!" First Aunt said.


    The young man in the blue robe bowed and thanked him profusely. Jin Weiwei quickly waved her hand, hinting for him to go back and take care of his wife.


    With a grateful smile, the young man in a long blue robe pushed his way out of the crowd and walked towards the innermost corner of the street with hurried steps.


    Once they were far away from the crowd, the smile on the young master''s face disappeared as he disdainfully spat out, "Pui! What are you pretending to be a good person for! I just want to borrow your father''s money to buy people''s hearts. "


    He held the meat in his hand and walked to Jiang Qingshou''s side. One moment, he had been so arrogant. In the blink of an eye, he had become respectful. "Boss, I''ve already bought the meat. Many people have seen it with their own eyes."


    "That''s good!" Jiang Qing Shou''s face revealed a ferocious expression, and then he started to play a big part.


    After working painstakingly for another three quarters of an hour, there wasn''t much meat left on the counter. Just as Jin Weiwei raised her head and was about to persuade the people to come back tomorrow, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside.


    "You black-hearted bitch! "Pay with your life for my wife''s!"


    The commoners in front of the Golden Note Meat Shop were all shocked by the sudden scream. They all turned their heads to check.


    A young man dressed in a scholar''s attire was seen pushing a cart towards them. On the cart lay a woman, dressed in a red and pink skirt, with her eyes closed.


    "Hey, what''s going on?" Someone walked up in confusion.


    As the young master drew closer, an old man in his fifties or sixties said to himself, "This young master looks a little familiar to me?"


    The woman who bought the meat thought for a moment, then slapped her thigh and said, "Yo, isn''t this the young master who wanted to buy meat to supplement his wife''s health a few minutes ago?"


    After hearing her reminder, everyone looked at the blue gown, then at the face of the young master, and they all recognized him.


    "That''s right!"


    "It''s that young master who bought meat. But what is he doing?"


    Everyone drew a big question mark in their hearts.


    He really came fast. A cold smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Fugui''s mouth. Watching this scene, Jin Weiwei could vaguely sense that the person who had come wasn''t friendly.


    Under the gazes of everyone present, the Young Master stopped the cart before the entrance of the Golden Note Meat Shop. With tears in his eyes, he pointed at Jin Weiwei, "I, Wang Su, am a scholar. What enmity do I have with you? You''re a wicked woman, yet you drugged the lamb!"


    What? This meat seller had actually poisoned the mutton!


    The crowd burst into an uproar. Fear involuntarily appeared in their hearts, and they all took a few steps back.


    The young master who called himself Wang Su teared up, and her voice was choked with sobs, "Why did you, a wicked woman, poison her? Pity that my wife is so ill. "


    Sick?


    Everyone''s eyes were focused on the woman lying on the cart.


    However, the woman''s face was pale. It seemed that her condition was truly not good.


    Those who had already paid for the meat started to examine the pig and lamb in their hands, their hearts pounding. Could the meat in their hands be poisoned?


    Those who hadn''t bought meat were all glad for the good news, regretting that they didn''t make it in time.

 C92

    However, Xiao Fugui''s mouth was filled with a cold smile. A thin layer of frost immediately covered Jin Weiwei''s face, which made her feel cold. She walked over step by step, and the commoners in front of the meat shop all retreated step by step.


    Occasionally, someone would point at her and say, "I really didn''t expect this little girl to be so vicious when she looked so gentle and polite."


    "That''s right! How big of a grudge is it, to kill the lady who just gave birth to her? "


    Hearing the discussions in front of her ear, Jin Weiwei''s heart turned even colder. She looked at the guy in front of her who called himself Wang Su.


    "What makes you think that the lamb I sold you was drugged?"


    Wang Su pretended to wipe her tears away. However, her eyes were rolling around as she mumbled, "My wife was originally fine. But after eating your lamb, her hands and feet suddenly trembled and she fainted ¡­"


    "Oh!" "So it''s like that!" Jin Weiwei revealed a face of sudden enlightenment. However, the next second, she changed the topic, "I remember that in order to ensure enough physical strength, women would always add some soup during the production period. Presumably, your wife is not that special."


    Wang Su was just a simple bachelor. Not to mention a child, she didn''t even have a wife. How could he know that a woman was giving birth to children?


    Out of the corner of his eyes, he looked around at the crowd. Seeing that everyone seemed to take it for granted, he knew that what Jin Weiwei said must be true.


    He half lifted his head and pretended to cry. "Yes, I''ve specially ordered someone to make a lot of soup for Madam."


    "But what soup?" Jin Weiwei spoke in a casual tone.


    Wang Su was really confused now. She really couldn''t understand what Jin Weiwei was trying to do. She was pointed at by the nose and said that her family''s meat was poisonous. Shouldn''t she be jumping around and cursing herself?


    Why are you asking me about such trivial things?


    At this time, the surrounding crowd was also confused. Why didn''t the little girl in the butcher''s shop hurry up and explain? Why did she wait here to ask such irrelevant questions?


    "What is it? "You personally said that you ordered someone to prepare a lot of soup for your wife ¡­" Jin Weiwei calmly walked up to Wang Su. With a slight trace of oppression in her eyes, she examined her and asked, "Could it be that you can''t remember after a while?"


    This calmness and this gaze gave Wang Su a kind of pressure.


    His scalp gradually turned numb, and he panicked. He didn''t even think twice before blurting out, "Of course I remember. The soup I made for Madam was chicken soup and ¡­"


    He was stuck here for a while.


    "What else?" Jin Weiwei asked without any break. Her pair of eyes were astonishingly bright, as if she had already seen through everything.


    Wang Su was flustered. Pregnant women had to eat a lot of nourishing food, so what was the most nourishing food?


    Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn''t know which to say.


    "I guess he must have made the Rice Ball. This thing is best at strengthening one''s body." Jin Weiwei hinted at him.


    Right! Wang Su was a little upset in her heart. Wasn''t this Soup Dumplings a great tonic? In the past, his body had been weak, and his mother had even specially made a few bowls for him to drink.


    "Right!" My wife drank three or four bowls of this Rice Ball! " Wang Su said solemnly.


    Upon his admittance, the onlookers burst into an uproar.


    How can pregnant women eat brewed rice balls?


    There seems to be something fishy about this. The citizens are giving each other meaningful looks.


    Although it was fine for a pregnant woman to use three or four bowls of Rice Ball, it was going to be troublesome.


    Jin Weiwei laughed coldly, "Wang Su, you''ve been lying the entire time. You''ve really put on a good show."


    How did this girl know she was lying? Wang Su''s body trembled, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. However, he soon found out the reason.


    "Pregnant women simply cannot eat alcohol, let alone a woman in the process of giving birth! Hurry up and tell us the truth! " Jin Weiwei gave a loud shout, and a sharp eye knife shot out from her eyes.


    "I... "I ¡­" Seeing that the matter was about to be exposed, Wang Su no longer cared about her image as a young master. Instead, she revealed her rogue face and viciously said, "You slut, you poisoned my wife and framed me for lying. Today, I will send you to the yamen!"


    As he spoke, he stepped forward and was about to make his move.


    Little Fugui had long since arrived behind Jin Weiwei. He stretched out his left hand and flicked his two fingers. Two small stone beads shot out at the same time, striking Wang Su''s two wrists.


    He screamed and spread his hands.


    Jin Weiwei, who was only a few steps away from him, saw that her hands were covered in a thin cocoon. They were not the hands of a scholar.


    "You actually sent people to ambush me!" Wang Su was in so much pain that her face turned hideous. She stretched out her swollen arm and showed it to everyone around her, "Everyone, look at how vicious that bitch surnamed Jin is!"


    Jin Weiwei knew that he was being taught a lesson by Xiao Fugui, so she sent him a look of praise.


    She crossed her arms over her chest and said unhurriedly, "Let''s not talk about other things first. Since Wang Su is so willing to show her hands, then please look at the hands under her nose."


    "What''s so good about a man''s hands?" Someone could not help but grumble.


    "Miss, what''s going on?"


    "Shh!" Don''t you see? " Someone stopped the big sister who was asking.


    When Wang Su heard Jin Weiwei''s words, she couldn''t figure out what the hell was going on. All she could do was cry miserably, acting innocent and acting pitiful.


    However, there were always fiery eyes. A middle-aged man in a long robe pointed at Wang Su and said angrily, "This man is a liar. He isn''t a scholar at all!


    The crowd was in an uproar again.


    What did he mean by that?


    "This big brother, how did you see through him?"


    Before the middle-aged man in the long gown could say anything, Jin Weiwei had already answered for him. She grabbed Wang Su''s arm, forcing him to raise his hand.


    Wang Su sensed that something was wrong and struggled desperately. However, she was struck in the knees by the stone bead shot out by Xiao Fugui and fell to the ground.


    "Everyone knows that a scholar''s hands are the most precious. If he really is a scholar, then where did all these calluses come from?" Jin Weiwei said coldly.


    When everyone saw this, they came to a realization that they had been fooled.


    "Are you still not telling the truth?" Jin Weiwei threw Wang Su''s arm away and asked condescendingly.


    "That''s right, quickly tell us the truth!"


    "I didn''t expect this person to be so vicious even though he looks harmless. He''s obviously trying to make me bad with his butcher''s shop and this lady''s reputation ¡­"


    Everyone was pointing out their opinions in indignation.

 C93

    Beads of sweat continuously dripped down from Wang Su''s head like rain. It was only for a short while, but her heart was already in a state of panic as she started to look towards a corner in the crowd.


    When Jin Weiwei noticed his minute movements, she understood that Wang Su had indeed been ordered by someone else.


    She could count the number of people that had enmity with her with her five fingers. She turned her head to search around and her gaze swept across the faces of the crowd.


    When Jiang Qingshou saw Jin turn his head, he knew something was wrong. He quickly crouched down and dodged Jin''s gaze.


    She didn''t find the target she suspected, but Jin Weiwei was a bit confused. Could she have guessed wrongly? Or was the other party not present at all?


    She thought to herself, "Little Fugui used his powerful perception to control the movements of everyone in the surrounding area."


    He stared at Jiang Qingshu from afar, a cold glint in his eyes as he slowly fiddled with his abacus.


    How much should he ask the other party to pay him?


    Since she couldn''t find the person she suspected, Jin Weiwei focused all her attention on Wang Su. She pressed on step by step, "I''ll give you a stick of incense. If you don''t tell the truth now, I can only send you to the yamen."


    "Well said. A shameless fellow like him should be sent to the yamen. Let him have a taste of the board!" The aunt, who watched the show from the beginning to the end, said angrily.


    "This little old man will go and report this now!" A white-haired old man said as he ran in the direction of the yamen.


    Upon hearing the words'' yamen ''and'' reporting '', Wang Su''s body began to tremble in panic.


    What he was doing now was clear to him. If the people from the yamen came, wouldn''t he end up in jail?


    His face was as pale as if he had seen a ghost. He looked as if he was about to collapse. At this moment, a loud cough sounded from the crowd.


    After the man coughed, he suddenly shouted in surprise, "Hey! "The woman on the cart seemed to be moving a little. Is she going to wake up soon?"


    No matter what, Jin Weiwei felt that the voice was a bit familiar, so her first reaction was to search for that person''s shadow.


    Jiang Qingshou had expected this to happen. He had hidden himself behind a strong man while shouting, so Jin Weiwei''s search had been fruitless.


    At this moment, everyone''s eyes were focused on the woman on the cart.


    "Sigh!" It moved, it really moved! "


    He saw the woman''s body twitch violently. Then, like a fish that had been deprived of oxygen, she raised her upper body and gasped heavily. She opened her eyes.


    "Yo!" "He really woke up." Jin Weiwei looked at Wang Su and said meaningfully.


    Wang Su glanced in Jiang Qing Shou''s direction and immediately crawled onto the cart as she sobbed, "My poor wife! "You can at least be considered to have woken up. It''s all because of this wicked woman ¡­"


    Just as she was crying, the woman on the cart cursed Xu Lan''er for a fool. She was about to be exposed, yet she said those few words back and forth.


    She quickly gave him a meaningful glance and silently compared it to the way he said, "Rice Ball Wine."


    It was these words that made Wang Sui Hu so weak that he could only understand in a second. His wailing stopped abruptly, and he blamed himself emotionally, "My wife was being careless all of a sudden, causing you to eat so many Drinking Rice Ball, making your illness worse."


    Xu Lan''er revealed a weak smile and said gently, "Master, you don''t have to blame yourself. Then I didn''t eat it."


    Didn''t eat? Then why did this woman''s illness suddenly worsen to the point of her fainting?


    A new round of commotion instantly started in the crowd. The scales of justice in her heart began to tilt towards Wang Su once again.


    "Then... Then why did your condition suddenly worsen? " Wang Su asked in a very refined manner, vividly putting on the image of a husband for Lady Xin Xin.


    Wang Su''s eyesight was still quite good, so Xu Lan''er let out a sigh of relief and pretended to be at a loss, "I don''t know either. It''s just that after drinking that bowl of mutton soup you cooked for me, I suddenly felt a pain in my chest. My body trembled and then I lost consciousness."


    Wang Su had originally planted a seed of doubt in the hearts of everyone present. Although Jin had slightly tidied up the mess, after Xu Lan''er''s catalysis, the seed had begun to take root and sprout again.


    Was there poison in the meat? There were a few people who anxiously tore open the oil paper bags and picked up the pig and lamb meat in their hands, carefully smelling them. Some of them even dared to dip their fingers in and put them into their mouths.


    Jin Weiwei took a good look at everyone''s actions and expressions. The little bit of patience she had in her heart was almost gone.


    Repeated provocations, she really didn''t know how to reply. She had only wanted to defeat the other party and make him speak the truth. But now, she had really made up her mind.


    If you don''t take the path of survival, then don''t blame me for not showing mercy.


    "It seems that you all have decided to frame me. Then, I have no choice but to investigate until the end."


    She went around to Wang Su''s back and suddenly turned around to face Xu Lan. "The two of you repeatedly said that you had to eat my mutton to make your condition worse, so you must have brought the mutton with you."


    Wang Su puffed out her chest and pulled out an oily paper packet from the cart. "Of course. Since you want to confront that wicked woman, how can I not bring any physical evidence?"


    Hearing his words, Jin Weiwei immediately knew that someone must have done something to the mutton.


    However, it didn''t matter. The so-called wise were still lacking. Jinwei and the others probably wouldn''t have thought of that.


    Therefore, she looked coldly at Wang Su and said, "Then we''ll ask a doctor to test it out. We''ll see if the poison in the meat and your wife''s illness are correct or not."


    Xu Lan''er''s illness was just an act. Plus, how could she really be sick while acting out this scene?


    Wang Su and Xu Lanzhi were both flustered. If they really did invite a doctor, wouldn''t it expose them? When that time came, no matter what they said, everyone would not believe them anymore.


    Today, someone had already gone to the yamen to report a case. He might even get slapped for it!


    What should he do?


    Wang Su began to glance in Jiang Qingshu''s direction again.


    Jiang Qingshou had clearly seen the panic on his face. However, this time, once she discovered Wang Su''s little trick, Jin Weiwei''s long eyes immediately began to search the crowd.

 C94

    Jiang Qingshou was almost found out. The fan he was holding to cover his face was also trembling slightly.


    Wang Su was simply a useless person. When she met someone who was a little troublesome, she would only ask him for help.


    He suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted at the top of his voice, "What lady said is right. Coincidentally, I know Xu Da at the east side of the city. Doctor Xu, why don''t you invite him over?"


    Since he was crouched behind the brawny man, from Jin Weiwei''s point of view, it was as if the brawny man had made a sound.


    Xu Da, who was at the east end of the city, was a famous genius doctor in the whole county. Not only was he skilled in medicine, but he was also a kind and righteous man. No one spoke of him without a sense of respect.


    "Doctor Xu is the most impartial person. If we really invite him here, we''ll definitely be able to get to the bottom of this!"


    "Yeah, yeah!"


    Many people nodded their heads, showing expressions of agreement.


    In the days that Jin Weiwei had been in the county, she had heard of Xu Da''s reputation. Alright, it''s good to have someone to take care of this trip.


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei had not raised any objections, Jiang Qingshu was exceptionally proud of himself. No one else knew this, but he was well aware that Xu Da was a complete hypocrite.


    Would he still be afraid of Xu Da disobeying when he threw down several tens of silver taels? Jin Weiwei, oh, Jin Weiwei, you drilled yourself into my palm.


    He turned and ran towards the east of the city, a sinister smile on his face.


    Xiao Fugui did not ignore every single expression on his face. His sleeve shook and a stone bead rolled on his finger tip. With two flicks of his finger ¡­


    Jiang Qingshu felt a sharp pain at the side of his knees as he fell to the ground, his body bent over.


    F * ck! It hurts so bad!


    He subconsciously wanted to scream out loud. However, he was afraid that he would attract the attention of others, so he could only flop on the ground.


    Jin Weiwei was baffled. Why did the burly man who asked for Doctor Xu''s presence not move at all? Behind him came the calm and refined voice of the little rich kid, "Why do you need to put so much effort? I also have some skill in the art of differentiation."


    Xiao Fugui put away the sharp light in his eyes and walked over calmly.


    Everyone looked over. This butcher actually knew the art of Yellow Ox, was it really a fake?


    Jin Weiwei was also puzzled. Little Fugui son knows medicine? Why hadn''t she heard him talk about it?


    When his body passed by Jin Weiwei, she couldn''t help but stretch out her arm and grab his hand. She whispered, "Do you really know medicine?"


    Little Fugui turned his head around. His long body was jade like a bamboo, and his expression was calm as he said, "Of course ¡­" "No way!"


    Why did you jump out?!


    Jin Weiwei stared at him, but little Fugui gently brushed her hand away.


    "Madam is so ill. Ordinary people wouldn''t be able to find the cause of her illness, but I have my own methods."


    His harsh gaze on Xu Lan''er''s face made her heart turn cold. Her hands under the quilt curled into a ball.


    "This diagnosis method of mine is a little painful. Madam, please bear with it ¡­" The words from little Fugui were polite, but the coldness in his eyes was getting stronger. Not to mention Xu Lan''er, even Wang Su could feel the chilliness.


    He immediately pointed at the little rich guy and scolded him, "Stop trying to be mysterious. You''re just one of them. How would you know anything about medicine?"


    These words made a lot of sense. If he was truly proficient in medicine, then why would he bother settling the score in this small butcher''s shop?


    Everyone''s eyes were filled with doubt.


    Seeing that they were about to start a war of words, Tao Xiaoqing could no longer hold it in. He could no longer hold it in, and now, at this crucial moment, he could no longer hold it in and ran out to gobble someone up.


    "What you said isn''t right. Who says that those who know how to settle debts can''t understand medicine? Furthermore, your wife is already very ill. Even if you call someone else over, there might not be any result. It would be better to use this unique method to save your wife! "


    Tao Xiaoqing''s words had reached the deepest part of the group.


    It was Wang Su''s fault for insisting that Xu Lan''er was very ill, so much so that the onlookers thought she was hopeless. As such, everyone felt that Tao Xiaoqing''s words were very reasonable.


    "Brother Wang, since it''s impossible for ordinary doctors to save your wife, why don''t we let this person try his own tricks?" Someone tried to persuade him otherwise.


    "That''s right! "Most importantly, we should be able to find out whether your wife had eaten this lamb before her condition worsened ¡­" Two or three of them spoke at the same time.


    Wang Su''s expression almost turned to stone. Xu Lan''er looked at her son with murderous eyes. Her scalp was numb as she looked anxiously at Wang Su.


    What was this idiot doing at this juncture? Hurry up and think of a way to chase away the fiend in front of her.


    Unfortunately, little Fugui didn''t have the patience to accompany them in this kind of farce. He moved as fast as lightning, grabbing Xu Lan''s wrist before anyone could clearly see what was happening.


    Xu Lan''er''s body trembled violently.


    Amidst her shock, Wang Su''s eyelids twitched ¡ª she could not let him diagnose!


    He roared and threw himself at Little Fugui.


    Seeing this, Jin Weiwei moved her feet and was about to stop him.


    Unexpectedly, without even raising her head, little Fugui''s hand pressed down on Xu Lan''er, causing her to be unable to move. She then casually pushed her hand out.


    It was this careless move that made Wang Su roll twice on the ground like a winter melon. She almost hit the feet of the people beside her, scaring them so much that they couldn''t help but retreat, afraid that they would be knocked down.


    Wang Su was in so much pain that tears were about to fall from her eyes. She lay on the ground and cried out, "Beat him up! Beat him up! Everyone, please avenge me!"


    He had just howled twice when an even sharper, louder sound directly drowned out his volume.


    "Oh my ¡ª"


    Wang Su was so frightened that her whole body shivered. The onlookers were also shocked. One of her aunts almost shrieked as well.


    What had happened?


    Everyone looked over and saw Xu Lan''er writhing in pain on the cart. Her legs kicked wildly, and the blanket fell to the ground, revealing her embroidered shoes. The embroidered shoes were especially eye-catching. The bright red shoes were embroidered with colorful flowers.


    "Aiya, aiya, release me!" Xu Lan''er yelled.


    Wang Su crawled up from the ground and shouted with a flushed face, "It''s not enough to poison my wife, she actually harmed her in front of so many people!"


    Jin Weiwei immediately blocked his way, glaring at him. "F * ck your mother!" Who caused her harm?! "


    "Causing her? I''m really afraid of dirtying my hands. " On the other side, Xiao Fugui looked indifferent, which increased the strength in his hands. Xu Lan''er jumped from the pain!

 C95

    At this moment, everyone''s eyes turned round and round. Didn''t they say that they were poisoned? Are you sick? Why are you still alive and kicking?


    Xu Lan''er was still alive and kicking. Wang Su saw this scene with her own eyes and groaned in her heart, "It''s over, it''s all over, it''s all over!" The play that boss has thought of all sorts of ways is completely ruined! "


    When he returned, it would be good as long as he did not punish himself, not to mention the promised reward of one silver tael.


    He imagined the expression on Jiang Qingshou''s face, and his mind was in a mess.


    "Humph!" So these two are both liars! "


    "Bah!"


    "This is truly hateful!"


    The curses coming from the people around her caused her to quickly wake up from her stupor. Her top priority was to deal with this mess before her eyes.


    He raised his face and used all his strength to fawn, "I can''t believe that this young master who knows how to settle debts is so skilled in medicine. He was able to cure a sick lady like me in less than half a cup of tea ¡­"


    As he spoke, he moved forward and spoke with a completely submissive tone, "I am truly deeply grateful!"


    The speed with which they turned hostile was simply astonishing.


    Tao Xiaoqing spat in disgust and said to Jin Weiwei, "Boss, look at him. His appearance is really disgusting."


    Jin Weiwei also sneered, showing a look of disdain.


    Wang Su repeated her words of ''endless gratitude'' several times, waiting for Xiao Fugui to speak up.


    Unexpectedly, little Fugui didn''t even bother to lift his eyelids. Holding a white handkerchief, he carefully wiped his palms and fingertips and slowly spat out a word:


    "Dirty."


    Xu Lan''er was still rubbing her wrist that had been purple a second ago. Hearing these two words, she couldn''t control her anger any longer. Even her mind was on the verge of burning down.


    "What did you say?" "I ¡­"


    She was just about to curse out loud and teach this man who had made her extremely ugly a lesson. Unexpectedly, when she saw the situation turn sour, Wang Su strode to her side and viciously pinched her. "Madam, why aren''t you thanking him ¡­"


    Xu Lan`er could only swallow her resentment and bowed her head as she thanked Wang Su, "I thank the Young Master for his grace."


    "Bro, thank you so much." Wang Su continued to embellish her beauty in an attempt to divert everyone''s attention.


    The crowd of spectators had now recognized the true faces of these two. Seeing that they were once again playing the part of gratitude, quite a few of them scoffed, treating it as watching a good show.


    Finally feeling that his hands were a bit cleaner, the little rich kid casually threw the handkerchief on the ground and casually said, "I don''t know anything about medicine, and I can''t cure someone who isn''t sick."


    In a word, it was a naked slap to the face, forcefully tearing apart the faces of Wang Su and Xu Lan''er.


    The laughter from the crowd was endless, and the entire West Gate Street was filled with its joy.


    Wang Su''s face alternated between shades of red and white. She held on tightly to Xu Lan''er, who was on the verge of going berserk. In her heart, she had the thought of running away.


    Seeing that the other party was planning to retreat, how could Jin Weiwei let them go so easily?


    Her gaze shifted to the center of the city. She estimated that it was about time.


    In the room, Wang Su and Xu Lan quietly retreated while nodding and bowing.


    "I only thought of running now, but it''s too late." Jin Weiwei suddenly looked at Wang Su with disdain, "You won''t be able to leave."


    A strong sense of unease engulfed Wang Su and Xu Lan. The two of them could not help but speed up their escape. However, in the next second, a group of yamen runners suddenly appeared and blocked their path.


    The moment the bailiffs appeared, little Fugui''s eyes flashed. He took a few steps forward and turned around the corner of the street, concealing his figure.


    At the front of the Golden Calligraphy Meat Shop, the deep blue red-rimmed yamen runners were fluttering in the wind. Wang Su and Xu Lan''er''s hearts were thumping along with them.


    Great fear rose from the bottom of her heart to her throat. Wang Su swallowed hard and reflexively looked at her boss. However, she only managed to catch a glimpse of Jiang Qingshi''s retreating figure.


    Had he and Xu Lan''er been abandoned? In an instant, the fear in his heart deepened.


    "We have received reports that someone is causing trouble in the streets, framing the good people. Where is the person who is provoking the peace? Where is the victim? " As the bailiff spoke, he habitually raised the knife in his hand.


    Since ancient times, the commoners would be like mice seeing a cat when they saw an official. This line of bailiffs was filled with vigor, and their words carried a sense of grandeur. None of the onlookers dared to speak carelessly. They all shut their mouths, afraid of provoking Shangguan Fei.


    Jin Weiwei took a few steps forward, pointed at Wang Su and said without hesitation, "It was those two who created the rumors and framed others. I am the victim in this case."


    "You''re the only one who has no proof ¡­" The bailiff looked her up and down, feeling that she was too young and suspicious.


    Tao Xiaoqing stepped forward without hesitation, "Lord Servant!" This little one can testify that it was these two men who did it. "


    Some of the more daring leaders nodded in agreement.


    Since there were so many people accusing them, this matter could be settled easily. The leader of the constables waved his hand and said, "Brothers, capture these two men for me."


    The two bailiffs behind him pressed down on Wang Su and Xu Lan''s shoulders and arms without hesitation.


    Xu Lan''er''s wrist was already purple from being pinched by Xiao Fugui, but the bailiff held on to it, and in the blink of an eye, the pain caused her tears to fall: "So painful!" "Sir bailiff, please let me go!"


    As she spoke, she couldn''t help but twist her body.


    The bailiff glared fiercely at her: "Be more honest with me, otherwise I''ll let you have a taste of my fists."


    Hearing that she was going to be beaten, Xu Lan''er could only bear with it.


    Jin Weiwei walked to her side at a leisurely pace. She spoke in a low voice that was barely discernible. "This is what you call suffering for your sins."


    Xu Lan''er gritted her teeth in hatred. "You ¡­"


    When the bailiff saw this, he scolded her harshly for being more honest.


    The leader of the yamen runners walked over and said to Jin Weiwei, "Since you''re the victim, you should come with me as well."


    Jin Weiwei pursed her lips and smiled. She casually pressed a bit of silver into his hand and said gently, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Servant. You have no respect for such a small heart."


    The leader of the bailiffs rolled the silver into his sleeve with a flick of his sleeve. When she looked at him again, she immediately found him pleasing to the eye.


    However, he heard Jin Weiwei say, "This humble girl has never seen much of the world. When we arrive at the court, I hope that the bailiff will give us some advice."


    Although there was no change in the expression of the bailiff''s face, his tone had already eased up by quite a bit: "The county magistrate has a very good temper, and you are the victim. As long as you clearly explain the sequence of events, he will definitely not make things difficult for you."

 C96

    The yamen''s main hall was not wide and its interior was simple. In front of it was a table and chair for the old master, while the yamen runners stood on both sides of the hall.


    After a while, a man in a red official uniform came out. He looked to be about forty years of age, and his figure was slightly plump. Behind him was a man dressed in the attire of a Grand Master.


    Wang Hai, who was dressed in a county magistrate''s uniform, walked to the back of the table. He waved his two arms and coughed as he announced, "Rising Hall!"


    The yamen runners on both sides pounded the sticks in their hands as they shouted in a low voice.


    Wang Su and Xu Lan''er couldn''t help but shiver.


    Jin Weiwei knelt on the left side of the court with a calm expression. Not only was she not afraid, she even had a trace of curiosity on her face.


    Wang Hai sat down and slapped the wood. "Who are you kneeling on?"


    Jin Weiwei calmly kowtowed, "This humble girl, Jin Weiwei, is the shopkeeper for the Golden Stick."


    Hearing Jin Weiwei''s voice, Wang Su and Xu Lan''er also hurriedly spoke up.


    "Little Wang Su!"


    "The commoner is Xu Lan''er!"


    After letting out a long yawn, Wang Hai said with a bit of sleepiness, "Which one of you tell me the truth?"


    As the victim, Jin Weiwei had yet to speak, but Wang Susu quickly opened her mouth and complained, "Master Qingtian, you have to help me. An hour ago, I left this shop and helped me replenish my wife''s body, but I didn''t expect her to faint after eating the mutton. I suspected that there was something wrong with the mutton, so I pushed Madam to come and confront her.


    Wang Su''s face looked even more aggrieved as she spoke. He stretched out his arms with tears in his eyes, "Master, look at my hands. They''ve been beaten to such a state by this Jin guy."


    Wang Su''s hands were slightly swollen at first, but as time passed, her face swelled up to the size of a steamed bun.


    It was shocking.


    Wang Hai made two tsk-tsk sounds as he cast a sidelong glance at Jin Weiwei. "Is what he said true?"


    Jin Weiwei really did not expect Wang Susu to jump over the wall and actually dare to invert black and white above the court. Instead, she gave her a bite back.


    Her expression gradually turned cold. She first kowtowed before narrating everything that had happened today in detail.


    The victim with the surname Jin said that the two people beside her had colluded to frame her as having poisoned her flesh in an attempt to ruin her and her butcher''s shop''s reputation. Those two people also repeatedly said that they had only gone over to interrogate them, but did not expect Jin Weiwei to beat them up without saying a word.


    The county magistrate seemed to be troubled.


    "Tsk tsk, each of you have your own words. You''ve really made things difficult for me ¡­" Wang Hai twirled his moustache. "Do you have a witness who can prove that what you said is true?"


    Jin Weiwei suddenly thought of the onlookers. Wasn''t this the best witness?


    She was about to speak when a woman''s voice cut her off.


    "Yes, yes!" Xu Lan''er hurriedly shouted, "This humble woman is a witness. This humble woman saw it with her own eyes. Not only did she not listen to my husband''s question, she even beat him up."


    Xu Lan''er''s words were resolute and decisive. Following that, she wiped away her tears and wailed, "Pity, my husband only wants justice for my wife."


    "Since he''s your hubby, how can your words be counted?" Wang Hai stood up and walked in front of the three of them. He stroked his beard as he spoke, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by Xu Lan''er''s embroidered shoes.


    These shoes... He looked up and down at Xu Lan''er''s dress, and his face darkened.


    Jin Weiwei noticed Wang Hai''s expression following his gaze.


    A pair of eye-catching embroidered shoes appeared in his field of vision.


    She couldn''t help but sneer. What was this about a pregnant woman who had just given birth to a child? Which pregnant woman would wear such gorgeous clothes when giving birth to a child?


    At this moment, Wang Su began to wail and complain, "That Jin guy beat me up indiscriminately. Please enlighten me, County Magistrate."


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t stand it any longer. She immediately choked, "Since you said I hit you, then how did I hit you?"


    Wang Su was stunned for a moment. Jin Weiwei didn''t even do anything. How could he fabricate such a thing? Hence, he was a little hesitant.


    Wang Hai''s face darkened when he saw Tang Wulin''s expression. "Speak!"


    With such anxiety in her heart, Wang Su ignored everything else and said, "She, she grabbed onto the chest of the little person and used a rod to beat up the little person."


    Just what I was waiting for you to say. "A cold light flashed in Jin Weiwei''s eyes. "Then there must be wounds on your chest. Do you dare show it to the county magistrate so that you can prove what you just said?"


    Wang Su panicked. There was no wound at all on his chest.


    It was at this moment of life and death that Wang Hai gloomily urged, "I think it''s very reasonable. Wang Su, why don''t you hurry up."


    Seeing this, Xu Lan''er couldn''t help but feel anxious. She wanted to help Wang Su, but just as she opened her mouth, the county magistrate''s gaze shot over coldly. The gaze was like a knife, combining with the imposing manner of the Shangguan family.


    "Why don''t you expose the wound on your chest!" There was a cold smile on Jin Weiwei''s face.


    Wang Su came to a sudden realization and quickly explained, "This little one remembered wrongly just now. This little one wasn''t grabbing my chest, but was grabbing my clothes and beating me up with a rod."


    "Oh ¡­" "Is that so?" Jin Weiwei calmly dragged out her words. She suddenly asked, "Then you must have other wounds on your body. Where are the scars?"


    Wang Su immediately stretched out her hands.


    Jin Weiwei laughed coldly and continued to pressure him, "Since the sticks are added together, then it should be riddled with wounds. You can''t be the only one with injuries, right?"


    However, from top to bottom, Wang Su''s hands were the only ones injured.


    "I ¡­" He couldn''t help but stutter as sweat ran down his forehead.


    Seeing that something bad was about to happen, Xu Lan''er gritted her teeth and shouted into Wang Hai''s eyes, "My husband was hit by you, so he dodged it quickly. Naturally, there were no other injuries on his body."


    Only then did Wang Su''s brain start to move. She wiped the cold sweat off her face and nodded her head, "Yes, yes! "That''s right."


    Wang Hai''s expression froze for a moment, but he didn''t say anything. Instead, he looked at Jin Weiwei, who noticed the county magistrate''s gaze, and snorted. She looked at Wang Su and Xu Lan with a pitying gaze, "According to what you guys said, since I randomly beat him up, I naturally have to hit his vital points."


    Xu Lan''er and Wang Su''s faces changed again and again, turning from one to the other like purple, red, yellow, and green palettes on a palette.

 C97

    The county magistrate Wang Hai found it really interesting and couldn''t help but laugh out loud. To the panicking Xu Lan''er and Wang Su, her laughter was as loud as thunder in a clear sky.


    With large strides, he walked behind the official''s desk. Wang Hai patted the shocking log and shouted sternly: "Wang Su, you two really think that this official is easy to fool! He dared to lie to the court, and now he had to tell the truth! "Do you want me to punish you?"


    Wang Su and Xu Lan''er were trembling like autumn cicadas as they prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed. They shouted out one after another, "This humble one has been wronged! This humble one has been wronged!"


    "A single song and a single game of wishful thinking toyed with this official''s hand, how dare he still cry out his injustice ¡­"


    Wang Hai sneered, and then patted the wood to scare the public. The Shangguan family''s aura exploded, "Wang Su, you said that Jin had scratched your chest, and when you saw that the matter was about to be exposed, you said that you had scratched your shirt''s lapel, and said that you had been hit by a stick. However, apart from your hands, you did not have any other injuries, you actually lied and fooled me, do you really think I am a decoration?"


    Wang Su was trembling so much that she couldn''t even stand up straight. Her two rows of teeth were clattering against each other.


    "Xu Lan''er!" You and Wang Su claim to be husband and wife, but they are not a woman from a good family. Otherwise, where would you have gotten those embroidered shoes that only prostitutes would wear? "


    Xu Lan''er''s expression changed greatly. She quickly looked at the embroidered shoes on her feet, and then collapsed to the ground with a deathly pale face.


    After venting his anger, Wang Hai let out a long breath and looked at Jin Weiwei with his two eyes.


    Jin Weiwei tactfully replied, "Just now, this humble daughter had repeatedly interrogated Wang Su over and over again in this court. It seems that she has really broken the rules. I hope that the county magistrate can forgive her."


    Wang Hai changed his expression into a beaming smile. He sat on the teacher''s chair and said carelessly, "You''ve let me see a good show, so I won''t pursue the details."


    "Why aren''t you two telling the truth!?" Wang Hai stared at Wang Su and the rest with a cold gaze.


    Wang Su trembled and did not dare to continue hiding it. She honestly told him everything that had happened.


    However, Jiang Qingshu was not mentioned at all. He just claimed that he was a lackey who had been busy recently and wanted to extort a lot of money. That was why he had teamed up with Xu Lan''er, the harlot of the Spring Pavilion.


    Jin Weiwei recalled Wang Su''s earlier actions of looking at the crowd frequently and knew that there must be a mastermind behind this incident. However, she did not have any evidence at the moment, so if she brought it up recklessly, it would only end up being inferior.


    Forget it! I''ll think of a way to investigate Wang Su''s background in the future. Since I have a grudge against her, I definitely won''t let her off and wait for her to reveal herself.


    "So that''s how it is." After Wang Hai heard what Wang Su said, he stroked his moustache and said to Jin Ling, "These two people are maliciously framing you. This official will deal with them impartially."


    "The county magistrate is indeed sharp, and his case is like a god. Even that Di Renjie''s second reincarnation could not match up to him." Jin Weiwei smiled and flattered him. Her expression was extremely sincere. "This little girl is truly admirable."


    This flattery caused Wang Hai''s heart and body to feel very comfortable. He looked at Wang Su and the other two and scolded them, "The two of you ¡­"


    Before the verdict was out, Wang Su and Xu Lan''er kowtowed in panic and begged for mercy, "I beg the county magistrate to spare us. We were so cute that we made such an absurd move."


    "Since you know that this is nonsense, you should also know that committing a crime is worse!" Wang Hai''s face darkened when he remembered that these two people had tried to trick him just now. He patted the wooden log twice and said, "Wang Su, Xu Lan''er has cheated good citizens and even made up a bunch of nonsense in the court. I''ll send you two to compensate the victim, Jin Weiwei, with fifty taels of silver."


    There had not been any deaths or major financial disputes, which were considered minor cases. Generally, Wang Su and Wang Meng would have to pay some silver taels as compensation, not to mention the fact that the county had angered Wang Hai, which had increased the amount of silver taels.


    Unexpectedly, Jin shook his head slightly, "I don''t want them to compensate me with silver."


    He actually didn''t want the silver. That was a real fifty taels of silver!


    The yamen runners on both sides stared with wide eyes. Was this girl stupid? He didn''t want any money!


    Wang Hai said with a smile, "You don''t want it? Could it be that you want to let them off so easily? "


    Giving a shallow smile, Jin Weiwei respectfully kowtowed and solemnly said, "Sage Confucius once said that to repay a debt of virtue, how can one repay a debt of virtue? Therefore, the common woman will never disobey Sage Kong''s words. "


    Wang Hai stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "Then, what are you going to do about it?"


    When Wang Su and Xu Lan''er heard the magistrate''s words, their eyes stared fixedly at Jin Weiwei. Jin Weiwei was also looking at them. Xu Lan''er started to beg, "Miss Jin, please spare us a lot. We won''t dare to do it again."


    Withdrawing her gaze, Jin Weiwei straightened her posture and respectfully begged, "This humble girl doesn''t want their money because she thinks it''s dirty!"


    Wang Hai raised his eyebrows. He didn''t expect this little girl to be so proud, but he heard her continue, "This humble girl only wishes that the county magistrate imprison these two, so we can have a taste of the prison''s food and teach them a lesson so that we won''t have any more vicious thoughts in the future. To harm others!"


    Wang Hai could not help but laugh as he said, "You are such a sly one. Fine, the actions of these two people are truly loathsome. Let''s let them have a good memory today."


    "Great Master Qing Tian!" Please don''t put them in jail. This one has both the old and the young. If they go to jail, who will take care of them? "Master, please be merciful ¡­" Peng peng peng peng peng. Wang Su''s forehead was completely red.


    Xu Lan''er also cried, and her voice was sharp and ear-piercing. "My lord, I won''t dare to do that again. Please forgive me this time."


    The two of them cried harder than their parents would cry if they were dead. It was so noisy that the atmosphere in the court turned black.


    Seeing that Wang Hai didn''t change his original intention, Xu Lan''er dared to tear her clothes and winked at him with tears and snot all over her face. "As long as sire is willing to forgive me this time, I''ll let you sleep free of charge."


    This attitude really made everyone in the court disgusted.


    "You, you, you ¡­" Wang Hai''s shocked words were not even complete. He pointed at Xu Lan''er and yelled, "Hurry up and put your clothes on this official!"


    Not only did Xu Lan''er not listen, she even went to relieve herself.


    When Jin Weiwei saw this strange scene, she suddenly felt extremely disgusted. The corner of her mouth twitched as she silently retreated far away.


    Even the bailiffs who had been handling cases for so many years had never seen such a shameless woman. They were all dumbstruck at this moment.


    Wang Hai was disgusted by Xu Lan''er''s actions. This was simply indecent. If this news got out, then he wouldn''t be treated as a county magistrate.


    "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and imprison these two unruly people in the prison!"

 C98

    Only then did the bailiff react. Glancing at his master''s green face, he quickly took Wang Su and Xu Lan''er away.


    Wang Hai, on the other hand, still looked disgusted. He was shaking his head, making it look quite comical.


    Jin Weiwei lowered her head deeply, doing her best to suppress the smile in her heart.


    After this incident, Wang Hai''s mood had dropped to the bottom. He waved his hand, signaling for them to leave the hall.


    Jin Weiwei saluted and said a few more words of wisdom before leaving obediently.


    After leaving the yamen, she turned the corner and could no longer hold back her laughter. "Hahaha, I''m dying of laughter ¡­"


    She was laughing so hard that tears almost flowed out of her eyes. She wiped her eyes with the handkerchief and calmed her breathing. After being overjoyed, she decided to hurry back.


    After taking two steps, he felt like he had forgotten something. He slapped his forehead and said, "I was wondering why there was something missing. I didn''t see Fugui, where''s he?"


    He surveyed his surroundings and called out a few times. From beginning to end, he didn''t see Xiao Fugui come out.


    "Weird, he didn''t come this time for such a big thing like the Book Court. Where did he go?"


    Only after returning to the butcher''s shop did Jin Weiwei discover that the little rich kid had long since returned and was already doing the accounts at the counter.


    "When did you come back? "Why didn''t you come with us to the court?"


    Xiao Fugui bit his lips and replied flatly: "My stomach hurts, I went to the toilet ¡­" Besides, the shop can''t be left unattended, can it? "


    At that moment, Jin Weiwei no longer suspected anything. After all, at that time, all she cared about was those two bad guys, and Tao Xiaoqing followed closely behind her. Both of them forgot that there was still one more guard in the shop.


    Therefore, Jin Weiwei didn''t pay much attention to it, and told her everything that had happened in the court.


    "Since you didn''t go, then I''ll tell you in detail. You don''t know that Xu Lan''er ¡­"


    Tao Xiaoqing gaped, his eyes nearly popping out. "Boss, is what you said true? "Then Xu Lan''er will really fail ¡­"


    She couldn''t finish her sentence, so her pretty face turned red first.


    Jin Weiwei thought back to that scene, nodded her head, and couldn''t help but laugh out loud, causing Tao Xiaoqing''s face to turn even redder.


    Little Fugui didn''t have any special reactions. He sat properly in front of the counter and slid across the account book fluently with a brush in his hand.


    "Little Fugui, why do you always keep a straight face and smile for less than ten years? Do you understand?" Jin Weiwei smiled like a blossoming flower. She took two steps forward, and the unique fragrance of a young girl assaulted her nostrils.


    The brush that was currently moving suddenly stopped. The finger bones of little Fugui''s hand that was holding the brush stood out. He lowered his eyes, making others unable to see the light in his eyes.


    Seeing that the little rich kid didn''t say a word, Jin Weiwei murmured, "Idiot," and stopped looking for trouble.


    She began to think seriously about her business. The beef and lamb meat she had sold today was excellent, and because of the great rewards, she was very popular. Should she prepare more tomorrow on the original basis?


    After the bashfulness on Tao Xiaoqing''s face subsided, she couldn''t help but think back to the fifty taels of silver. She couldn''t help but pinch her lips and say, "Boss, you really shouldn''t reject the compensation of fifty taels of silver from the court today. Fifty taels of silver is more than enough for a family to use for over a year ¡­"


    Tao Xiaoqing chattered on.


    Jin Weiwei didn''t care at all. She pointed at Tao Xiaoqing''s forehead and said, "Alright, you''ve been busy all day. Aren''t you hungry? You still have the strength to blabber on here. "


    It was fortunate that she didn''t mention it. Now that she mentioned it, Tao Xiaoqing really felt a surge of hunger, making people panic.


    It''s getting late, and at this time of the year, there''s basically no business in the butcher''s shop. "Jin Weiwei turned around and said lightly," Let''s go to Cheng Jia Restaurant and grind some food to celebrate today''s popular business.


    With such an expensive restaurant, Tao Xiaoqing objected without thinking, "Boss, forget it. Just find a small restaurant and we can have some food."


    "What about you?" Jin Weiwei looked at the little rich girl who was still jotting down accounts.


    Putting down the brush in his hand, the little rich kid fanned the wet ink with the page and said, "Whatever."


    Jin Weiwei didn''t expect the little rich girl to give any suggestions. She waved her hand and said, "Come, let''s go to Cheng Jia Restaurant!"


    As for Jin Dabao, who had been missing all day except for meeting him in the morning, she had no intention of calling him along.


    The three of them quickly arrived at Cheng Jia Restaurant, and the waiter in the lobby recognized Jin Weiwei at a glance.


    Good boy, isn''t this the girl from before who had a drink duel in the building?


    Recalling all that happened back then, along with the fact that his young master was very fond of this girl, a smile appeared on the waiter''s face.


    He walked up to Jin Weiwei and asked with a smile, "Miss, what do you want to use today?"


    Jin Weiwei also recognized the waiter and said gently, "Just like last time, pick up a few signature dishes and bring them up here."


    "Fine!" "Please wait a moment, I''ll go inform the kitchen ¡­" The waiter turned around and smiled.


    Picking up a window seat, the three of them sat down. Jin Weiwei felt a little thirsty, so she casually picked up a cup of green tea and drank it slowly.


    She didn''t know that at this moment, Cheng Yu was sitting on the highest floor of Cheng Jia Restaurant, looking at the account book that was as tall as half a person''s height, and quickly flipping through it with both hands.


    "Are all the restaurants under the Cheng family''s name, and their books for the past three months, here?" Cheng Yu asked.


    The two accounting teachers did not dare to hesitate and replied seriously, "Reporting to Young Master, everything is here."


    Cheng Yu''s actions paused for a moment. Her tone of voice still gave off the feeling of spring wind, but the content of her words sent chills down everyone''s spines.


    "Is that so? That''s strange, there are still two books that my second cousin hasn''t sent over, but you two didn''t mention it at all. Or do you have the intention to hide it from me? " Cheng Yu was still buried in the books. His speech and actions were calm and unflustered, without any signs of anger.


    How did Young Master find out that there were two missing books in these hundreds of books?


    The two men in charge of the accounts immediately started sweating. They hurriedly bowed with their fists in front of them and explained with fear and trepidation, "Young master, even if we ate the heart of a bear, we wouldn''t dare to hide it from you. Truly ¡­"


    At this point, there seemed to be something hard to say. One of the accountant looked at the other and the two of them winked at each other.


    "Whatever you want to say, just say it. Don''t hesitate to say it." Cheng Yu sensed that something was amiss, so he stopped and raised his head.

 C99

    Hearing Cheng Yu''s words, the two men became even more hesitant. Their bodies stiffened as beads of sweat started to appear on their heads.


    Seeing this scene, Cheng Yu let out a soft sigh from the bottom of his heart. He stood up and walked in front of the two accounts: "What kind of trouble did my cousin cause again?"


    Cheng Yu was the sole manager of Cheng Jia Restaurant. When Cheng Yuan entered the academy, he wanted to concentrate on his studies so he handed over all the matters of Cheng Jia Restaurant to Cheng Yu''s cousin, Cheng Yuan.


    Cheng Yu would come to the restaurant every three months to check the accounts.


    At this moment, the two accountant did not dare to raise their heads. They were still bent over with their eyes fixed on Cheng Yu''s spotless boots.


    "Young Master Yuan, he ¡­" The slightly older accountant tremblingly opened his mouth and only said four words before he started stammering.


    Cheng Yu is very patient, but this does not mean that he is willing to squander his patience on trivial matters like "Speak! Do not let me repeat myself. "


    Although his voice was soft, his power was heavy.


    This time, the two bookkeeper didn''t even dare to look at each other. They kneeled down in front of Cheng Yu with a ''pu tong'' sound.


    "Young Master, Young Master Yuan spent all the silver from Cheng''s restaurant in Chang Ning Street last month at the Ten Thousand Flowers House. In order to get the first night of the Courtesan Belle selection, he also ¡­"


    "What else?" Cheng Yu was handsome and elegant, and his complexion was as calm as water.


    The older accountant couldn''t take it anymore. The colleague beside him spoke up for him, "Young Master Yuan has even pledged his allegiance to the sect."


    After saying this, the two accounting teachers held their breath, waiting for Cheng Yu to take responsibility.


    Managing the books and the money was originally their responsibility, but now Cheng Yuan was right under their noses. He lost all his money and even sold off the restaurant.


    This was all caused by their carelessness.


    This outsider was only as wide as jade and had the most tolerance, but he didn''t know that he was extremely strict with his rules and regulations.


    They had to listen to his orders and take the job seriously. If there were any major mistakes, Cheng Yu would definitely punish them severely.


    So now the two gentlemen in charge were on edge, waiting for the thunderous punishment to fall on their heads.


    After waiting for a while, he suddenly heard a chuckle.


    "Interesting! "It really is a little interesting ¡­" Not only was Cheng Yu not as angry as he had expected, he even laughed with interest.


    The second cousin had always been a man, but now that he had spent so much money just for the Ten Thousand Flowers Garden, how could the detours of this place not be interesting?


    Cheng Yu narrowed her eyes.


    Yu Gongzi''s reaction was really baffling. The two men who were kneeling exchanged a look.


    One of them straightened up and said tentatively, "We were not able to detect it in time and were forced to hide it until now. Young Master, please punish us."


    Cheng Yu lightly glanced at him, then walked to the window with light steps, and looked at the people walking in and out on the street: "Why should I punish you? Second cousin has always been bold and unrestrained. Even if all of you sensed it earlier, you wouldn''t be able to stop him. "


    Hearing Cheng Yu say this, the two accounting teachers let out a sigh of relief. However, in the next second, the hearts they had just unfurled had once again shrunk into a ball.


    Cheng Yu lightly looked at the two of them, and slowly said word by word, "But I don''t want to hear about this a second time, do you understand?"


    "Yes, sir," the two accountants answered at once.


    Cheng Yu then turned around and began to instruct them on how to deal with the following mess.


    However, someone suddenly knocked on the room''s door.


    His personal attendant, Wang Mu''s, voice came from outside the door: "Young Noble! "Young Master Zheng''s second aunt is here. She said she wants to see you. Look ¡­"


    Zheng''s second aunt?


    Cheng Yu was slightly startled, then the image of a somewhat shabby looking woman appeared in his mind.


    Why was she here?


    Seeing Cheng Yu enter into deep thought, the two accountant quickly bowed and said, "Young master, since there are guests visiting, we will take our leave first."


    Cheng Yu did not say anything and just waved his hand.


    After the two accountants passed by him, Wang Mu asked again, "Young Master, do you want to see her?"


    Cheng Yu turned around and looked at him. "Did Zheng''s second aunt come alone?"


    Wang Mu nodded.


    Logically speaking, the status of two people was very different, and they weren''t related to each other, so there was no need to bother about Cheng Yu.


    However, when he thought back to the look in Jin Xiaodie''s eyes, how could Cheng Yu, who had read countless people, not sense the restlessness of the other party?


    Brother Zheng was the most filial and gentle one. Although he had hinted to her earlier, he couldn''t bear to criticize his second aunt either.


    However, since this woman had come looking for him today, he could help Brother Zheng out to prevent her from becoming a disaster in the future.


    "Let her in." Cheng Yu instructed.


    Wang Mu answered and turned around. He walked down the stairs to the restaurant and said, "My family''s young master lets you in."


    A grateful look appeared on Jin Xiaodie''s face as she thanked him profusely, "Thanks a lot, little brother."


    Wang Mu led the way in front while Jin Xiaodie followed behind with her head down and shoulders slumped.


    Jin Weiwei had almost finished eating by the window. She looked back and forth with a bit of boredom, and her gaze coincidentally landed on the side of Jin Xiaodie.


    That was ¡­ She looked a little like Jin Xiaodie, but Jin Weiwei''s brows were knitted little by little.


    No, that''s not right, why would Jin Xiaodie come here?


    However, when she noticed the pair of silver earrings, she immediately stood up.


    She recognized the pair of earrings.


    What did Jin Xiaodie come to this restaurant for? She vaguely remembered that the servant leading the way in front of him was one of Cheng Yu''s subordinates.


    What was going on?


    "Boss, what are you doing?" Tao Xiaoqing, who was frightened by Jin Weiwei''s actions, almost choked on his food.


    Xiao Fugui put down the chopsticks in his hand as well, a faint questioning look appearing in his elegant phoenix-like eyes.


    "Nothing, I just saw an acquaintance. I''ll go meet her." After saying that, Jin Weiwei hurriedly followed him upstairs.


    Jin Weiwei followed the two of them all the way up to the second floor. Seeing that the attendant had led Jin Xiaodie to the door of one of the private rooms, she hid herself in a secluded place and carefully observed the scene.


    "Go in." Wang Mu made a gesture of invitation.


    Jin Xiaodie hesitated for a moment, then walked inside with her hands and feet in fear. Wang Mu went downstairs and stayed at the foot of the stairs. Seeing this, Jin Weiwei quietly opened the door of the private box, waiting to hear any activity inside.


    Jin Xiaodie walked into the box and sized up this elegant and exquisite box. The furnishings inside were not worth much, and she also saw that the room was like a jade tree, it had its own elegance and elegance.


    She felt a sense of inferiority and thus became even more restrained.

 C100

    Cheng Yu looked at the woman in front of him and said with a smile, "Please take a seat."


    Jin Xiaodie stretched out her hands, "No need, I will just stand."


    "You are an elder. If you continue to stand, I will have no choice but to stand alongside you." Cheng Yu had a smile on his face, and the corners of his eyes were filled with gentleness.


    Hearing that, Jin Xiaodie panicked. How could she let someone as noble as Cheng Yu accompany her? She moved to the front of the chair, "Then I ¡­ I think I''ll just sit. "


    Cheng Yu gestured with his hand and took a seat.


    Only then did Jin Xiaodie dare to sit down, with her feet on the ground.


    Cheng Yu poured a cup of tea into the jade teapot, then held it in front of Jin Xiaodie and asked, "I wonder why you have come to find me?"


    Jin Xiaodie was flattered and hugged her teacup, listening to Cheng Yu''s question but not knowing what to say.


    The room fell into an awkward silence.


    Outside of the house, Jin Weiwei leaned against the vermilion door post, thinking to herself, "Why isn''t Jin Xiaodie saying anything?" Since he came to see Cheng Yu, he must have a request.


    After a while, he heard Jin Xiaodie''s voice.


    "I really shouldn''t have come, but I really have no other choice ¡­" Jin Xiaodie''s face, which was full of the vicissitudes of life, was filled with sorrow. She put the cup on the table with a "pa" sound and kneeled down.


    A trace of surprise flashed across Cheng Yu''s eyes. He then quickly stood up and stretched out his arms to help Jin Xiaodie.


    The other side avoided his hands and moved backward on his knees.


    Seeing Jin Xiaodie like this, Cheng Yu said helplessly: "What are you doing? If you, a senior, were to kneel to a junior, wouldn''t that make things difficult for me? "


    A look of shame appeared on Jin Xiaodie''s face, but she still kneeled on the ground resolutely.


    "Young master Cheng, I''ve come to ask for your help this time ¡­"


    "Stand up first, then we''ll talk." Cheng Yu once again reached out his hand to help her up.


    However, Jin Xiaodie dodged it again.


    With a sigh, Cheng Yu brought a cushion and sat down on the ground. "You are brother Zheng''s aunt. Now that you have a request from me, I will naturally extend a helping hand. It''s just that I, Cheng Yu, am a scholar, so I might not be able to help you."


    Hearing Chengyu''s words, Jin Xiaodie shook her head, "No, you will definitely be able to help me. Before I came here, I already found out that you are the legitimate son of the Cheng family, so there is no way you will be able to help me."


    Cheng Yu seemed to have come prepared. He pondered for a while with a warm smile on his handsome face, "Even so, even if I am the legitimate son of your family, there are some things that I am unable to help you with. However, why don''t you tell me your difficulties first."


    Two streams of tears flowed down Jin Xiaodie''s face. Her voice was clearly sobbing as she started to narrate, "I originally had a husband called Jiang Qingshu."


    When the two words entered Cheng Yu''s ears, the hand on his knee moved slightly.


    "We ran a butcher''s shop on Lucky Street. One day, Shopkeeper Qian, who was working with us, suddenly said he wanted to cut off all business ties. It was only after we asked around did we learn that our previous grudges with our niece had forced Shopkeeper Qian to abandon us by cooking sausages ¡­"


    As Jin Xiaodie talked, she didn''t forget to look at Cheng Yu''s face and expression. Cheng Yu still had a smile on his face, pretending to listen.


    Jin Xiaodie was relieved and continued, "The business of the butcher is not so good. We can''t lose our partner, Manager Qian. As a woman, I don''t have any good ideas, so I can only beg my niece."


    "But my niece said some weird things. When I got home, I met Shopkeeper Qian''s wife throwing a tantrum in front of my house. That''s when I found out that Jiang Qingshu ¡­" "In order to destroy that niece of mine by spreading rumors that she is the concubine that storekeeper Qian has raised outside, the storekeeper''s wife came here to make a ruckus after learning the truth." Jin Xiaodie''s eyes were full of tears again.


    "I finally understand why my niece said all those ridiculous things. I didn''t want my neighbors to see a joke, so I hurried to persuade Shopkeeper Qian''s wife ¡­" Jin Xiaodie wiped her tears away with her hand.


    Cheng Yu silently handed over a handkerchief.


    Jin Xiaodie hesitated for a while before she took it and wiped her face.


    She opened her mouth and continued, probably bringing out the most painful part, her voice first becoming choked with sobs, "But ¡­ I never would have thought that Jiang Qingshou, such a cruel and unscrupulous person, would actually say that I was the one spreading the rumors. It has nothing to do with him. "


    Unable to bear the pain anymore, Jin Xiaodie cried.


    Outside the room, Jin Weiwei, who was leaning on the doorjamb, smiled coldly.


    At that time, the rumors were clearly about the couple, but this Jin Xiaodie had taken everything from him.


    However, with Cheng Yu''s intelligence, he definitely wouldn''t believe it. While Jin Weiwei was thinking this, Cheng Yu''s voice sounded in the room.


    "How do you want me to help you?"


    Cheng Yu now knew what Jin Xiaodie wanted.


    Jin Xiaodie''s eyes showed undisguised hatred, "The fact that Jiang Ji''s meat shop can be opened is the result of my hard work. I don''t ask for anything else, I only hope that Master Cheng can help me take back half of my family property."


    If Cheng Yu was right, Jin Xiaodie should have been abandoned, which was why she stayed in Brother Zheng''s house.


    A woman who had already been abandoned wanted to seize her ex-husband''s inheritance. Cheng Yu faintly smiled, exuding an indescribable feeling.


    "Young master Cheng, I beg of you, please help me!" Seeing that Cheng Yu only had a smile on his face, Jin Xiaodie couldn''t help but feel flustered.


    Cheng Yu had always cherished his feathers, so how could he be willing to jump into such a huge pit? He said gently, "This matter will definitely involve the court. Please allow me to think about it."


    Cheng Yu did not refuse, which meant that there was a chance. Jin Xiaodie felt better, and stood up with the help of her opponent.


    She had said what she needed to say, and Jin Xiaodie felt uncomfortable staying there, so she took her leave.


    Jin Weiwei quickly hid behind a rich tree and waited for Jin Xiaodie to leave before knocking on the door of the private room.


    Who was it? Cheng Yu opened the door and saw Jin Weiwei in a plain dress.


    Her jet-black hair flowed down her shoulders and back. Her hair was tied up in a bun and cut diagonally through the wooden hairpin on her head. A hibiscus flower had been carved into her hair.


    Just like her appearance, her faint and gorgeous appearance was lively and lively all the time.


    Surprised and happy emotions swirled and dissipated in the heart, like the green bamboo swaying in the spring wind of March.


    "It''s you!" Are you looking for me? " he asked softly.

 C101

    The corner of Jin Weiwei''s mouth curled up, revealing two rows of pearly white teeth, making her look even more mischievous. "Although it wasn''t done on purpose, but I do have something to discuss with you. Can you come inside?"


    Cheng Yu quickly stepped aside.


    Jin Weiwei took a step inside, and everything in the private box was displayed in front of her eyes without a doubt.


    The top quality yellow pear tables and chairs, the wide rosewood desk, and the fragrant antique shelves that spoke of Luoluo''s placing of blue and white porcelain and jade.


    Jin Weiwei exclaimed in her heart. Although she had long heard from others that the Cheng family was one of the top aristocratic families in Linshui County, she never thought that they would be wealthy to such an extent.


    The so-called aristocratic families were indeed no small matter.


    Jin Weiwei retracted her gaze and said seriously, "Actually, I came here today to eat, and coincidentally saw my second aunt, Jin Xiaodie."


    To think that Jin Xiaodie was her second aunt, Cheng Yu''s heart was moved, "So you are that niece of hers."


    "That''s right, I''m that niece of hers who came to ask for my help, but said a bunch of weird things instead." Jin Weiwei said frankly.


    These two sentences were exactly what Jin Xiaodie had said just now. A trace of surprise appeared on Cheng Yu''s face, "You ¡­"


    "I saw my second aunt when we were having dinner in the lobby. I was really curious about why she was here, so I followed her to the second floor. I heard everything you guys said in the box just now."


    He was frank and straightforward. He had clearly admitted that he was eavesdropping, but such an attitude was nothing to be disgusted about. Cheng Yu slightly moved his brain and immediately knew the purpose of Jin Weiwei''s visit.


    "So you only knocked on the door to remind me that your Second Aunt was dishonest and that the words she said should not be trusted, right?" Cheng Yu very naturally pulled on Jin Weiwei''s arm to let her sit down.


    He was born with a unique affinity, not to mention that when he was deliberately gentle, he could easily make people let down their guard, so for a moment, Jin Weiwei didn''t even realize that the posture between them was too intimate.


    Her palm was as slender as her forearm. Cheng Yu immediately withdrew her hand and sat opposite to Jin Weiwei. In her heart, she was lamenting how thin and weak Jin Weiwei was.


    "You''re right, I really did knock on the door for that." All of Jin Weiwei''s attention was focused on her godlike intelligence.


    She praised, "But now that I think about it, I was just being superfluous. You already saw through my second aunt''s true appearance, right? If you are talking about smart people, you should think of them as the best. "


    When Cheng Yu heard this, a smile appeared on Jing Bai''s face. "Lady Jin, you are too kind. There is always someone out there. It''s just that Lady Jin hasn''t met someone smarter than me yet."


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t imagine what kind of monster someone who was smarter than Chengyu in this world was.


    "In short, you have to be careful of my second aunt. Although Jiang Qingshu is extremely detestable, she is also the main culprit behind all these rumors. Since she asked you to help her, how about ¡­" Before Jin Weiwei could finish her words, she heard a commotion coming from downstairs.


    "Since the wooden staircase is built, isn''t it meant for people to leave?"


    "They are indeed sent away, but right now, without our young master''s orders, no one is allowed to go up."


    Following which, waves of thudding sounds could be heard, accompanied by the screams of the crowd.


    "They''re fighting, they''re fighting!"


    "Everyone, hurry up and spread out. Fuck, that fist almost hit laozi ¡­"


    Then there was Tao Xiaoqing''s excited shouting: "Be careful!"


    What was going on? Why did Xiaoqing come into conflict with someone?


    Jin Weiwei immediately stood up, turned around and walked out.


    When a fight broke out in their restaurant, Cheng Yu naturally went to take a look as well.


    When the two of them went downstairs, they saw that the hall was in chaos. The customers who were eating were all leaning against the wall, and tables, chairs and chairs were scattered all over the floor.


    In the middle of the lobby, two people were fighting.


    Jin Weiwei had excellent eyesight, and she immediately recognized one of them to be little Fugui.


    His fist was incredibly fast, and as fierce as a tiger''s wind, it smashed viciously toward Wang Mu.


    Wang Mu had just barely managed to block this fist, but the next one came one after another, each one aimed at a fatal point.


    Wang Mu had no choice but to dodge left and right. Xiao Fugui used one foot as the starting point and shifted his body back and forth, but he never moved even half a step.


    In other words, he had predicted that Wang Mu would be able to dodge within his attack range.


    Such a handsome martial artist. He didn''t have the slightest bit of inner strength. He was actually able to force Wang Mu into such a sorry state ¡­


    This man ¡­


    The color in Cheng Yu''s eyes deepened.


    It had only been twenty moves, but Wang Mu was already complaining nonstop. His underling had been careless for a moment, and his fist was already flying straight towards Wang Mu''s face.


    Although Jin Weiwei didn''t know how this had happened, there must have been a misunderstanding. She shouted, "Stop!"


    Hearing her voice, the little rich kid immediately retracted his fist and looked over. Seeing that she was unharmed, he silently pulled her to his side.


    Tao Xiaoqing jumped over the tables and stools from the corner of the room. He was almost hit by the stools a moment ago, and still had some lingering fear. He looked at his boss and complained, "Boss, why have you been up there for so long? Why have Fugui and I both thought that something happened to you?"


    Of course, Jin Weiwei couldn''t tell the truth.


    Right now, it was already night. Cheng Yu and she were alone in the room for a long time. If she said it out in full detail in front of everyone''s eyes, nobody would know what would happen in the blink of an eye. At that time, even if she had nine mouths, she wouldn''t be able to explain it clearly.


    He could only vaguely say, "I chatted a bit more when I met Second Aunt, but I didn''t notice how much time had passed."


    Ah!" Tao Xiaoqing was suddenly enlightened and said with a sigh, "So the acquaintance that boss mentioned is your second aunt. No wonder we chatted for such a long time.


    The dubious gazes that the customers in the restaurant had swept over Jin Weiwei and Cheng Yu also became clear.


    However, little Fugui didn''t believe this kind of nonsense at all.


    He stared at Cheng Yu with his phoenix eyes, and Cheng Yu had a smile on his face, as if he was pleased with himself.


    The corner of little Fugui''s mouth curled up into a sneer. He stretched out his hand to grab Jin Weiwei''s little hand, and from the corner of his eyes, he gave a provocative smile.


    Cheng Yu''s smile disappeared.


    Jin Weiwei felt the warmth and strength on the back of her hand, and looked at little Fugui with a questioning gaze.


    Little Fugui lowered his head as he gently flew over. It was so fast that Jin Weiwei couldn''t catch him at all.


    "Madam, please go home." "No," he said.


    Jin Weiwei nodded in confusion. The two of them walked outside hand in hand.


    When Tao Xiaoqing saw this, he shouted excitedly, "Boss! Rich brother, wait for me!"


    Looking at the figures of Jin Weiwei and little Fugui, Cheng Yu''s hand that was hanging by her side tightened.

 C102

    When he got home, it was already completely dark. The night sky was filled with bright stars.


    The yard was completely silent. Jin Dabao actually didn''t jump out to find trouble.


    Jin Weiwei was worried that he might be up to something again, so she specifically touched his room to take a look. She saw Jin Dabao lying on the bed, reeking of alcohol, drunk to the point of being unconscious.


    For the first time ever, the little rich kid didn''t pursue the matter of the Cheng Jia restaurant. Instead, he went back to his room early to rest. This caused Jin Weiwei to heave a sigh of relief.


    After returning to her own room, Jin Weiwei thought long and hard about not being able to sleep, so she simply entered the space again, rubbed out all the ripe rice, put it in a bag and hid it.


    The fruit on the pomegranate tree was so ripe that it had already cracked open its mouth. Jin Weiwei simply plucked it off, thinking to give it to the little rich and the others to try tomorrow.


    The courtyard of the Jin family in the county, finally became completely quiet. Everyone sank into a deep and peaceful slumber.


    The Jiang family''s butcher''s shop on Lucky Street was in a state of chaos. Jiang Qingshu stared at the helper with a livid expression and said, "Say what you just said again!"


    Pockmark Li squatted on the ground and covered his abdomen with his hands. He had a pained expression on his face.


    Jiang Qingshou stepped on his calf and laughed sinisterly, "Speak!"


    Ah!" Li Linzi gave a pitiful cry as he held onto Jiang Qingshu''s thigh, not daring to push him away, "Boss, boss, let me say it, let me say it!


    "Wang Su that brat was imprisoned in the prison by the county magistrate Wang Hai. I followed your orders to see him. I never thought that that brat would open his mouth wide and say that unless you gave him 100 taels of silver, I would throw you out ¡­" After he finished speaking in one breath, he slowly moved backwards while trembling in fear.


    Jiang Qingshu''s face was ferocious. After gnashing his teeth for a while, he pointed his finger at Li Linzi and roared, "Scram!"


    Flax Li did not dare to stay any longer, crawling away in panic.


    Wang Su! Wang Su!


    Right now, Jiang Qingshou''s mind was filled with these two words. The white teeth in his mouth were about to shatter into pieces.


    He didn''t have a hundred silver, and even if he had it, he wouldn''t give a lowly slave.


    It seemed like this Wang Su ¡­


    Jiang Qingshou narrowed his eyes coldly as a cruel look flashed across his face.


    The entire courtyard was silent. However, in one corner, a man hidden behind a green bamboo silently looked at Jiang Qingshu. Two stone beads were held between his slender fingers.


    He had only wanted to teach Jiang Qingshou a small lesson and ask him to compensate him for the money, but he didn''t expect that after watching such a good show, the corner of his mouth curled up into a faint sneer.


    He threw away the stone bead in his hand, and his body gently flew across the night sky like a swallow, disappearing without a trace.


    Jin Weiwei suddenly felt the urge to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. She yawned and walked out of the room, but she didn''t expect to see little rich kids walk in through the door the moment she stepped out of the room.


    It was obvious that she had come back from outside. Jin Weiwei rubbed her tired face and casually asked, "You didn''t sleep at night, so what did you do out there?"


    Xiao Fugui''s feet did not stop moving as he lightly walked past her, "It''s just taking a walk."


    A walk? Jin Weiwei speechlessly looked up at the dark sky. Going for a walk at this time would be stupid of her.


    However, she was well aware of his temper, so she didn''t pursue the matter any further. After settling her internal emergency, she continued to sleep.


    The first rays of the morning sun shone down, bringing with it thousands of rays of golden light, illuminating the earth.


    "Hurry up and run, find a place to hide ¡ª ¡ª" The woman shouted mournfully. She opened her arms to block the dirt road and turned around to urge him.


    Xiao Fugui felt as if his heart was about to explode as fear and pain took over his mind.


    Who are you?


    Why do I feel so bad when I see you?


    At this time, a group of men suddenly ran over. Some of them were wearing the clothes of yamen runners and some were dressed as guards. The blades in their hands were gleaming.


    "Scram!" They waved the weapons in their hands coldly.


    The woman rushed forward without hesitation, but at the same time, she turned her head and shouted with tears all over her face, "Remember, you must never come back! "Forever!"


    As the knife stabbed into the flesh, hot blood spurted out into the air!


    It was as if the entire world had been dyed red. Xiao Fugui''s eyes widened, and his breathing ceased.


    Who the hell are you? Who are you?


    No matter how big his eyes were, it was impossible to see the woman''s face clearly. Xiao Fugui''s heart ached ¡ª


    "Who the hell are you?!"


    Bathing in the morning light, Jin Weiwei deeply breathed in the morning fragrance that filled the air. She stretched lazily in both body and mind. However, in the next second, a loud roar suddenly rang out.


    Jin Weiwei was alarmed and confused. She suddenly looked towards the direction of the sound ¡­


    It''s little rich son''s house!


    "What happened?!" Tao Xiaoqing rushed out of his house with a stick in his hand.


    Jin Weiwei didn''t bother to answer as she quickly ran towards the little rich child''s room.


    She reached out her hand to push open the door, but found that it was blocked by a wooden bolt. She hastily turned around and shouted at Tao Xiaoqing, "Hurry up and help!"


    Tao Xiaoqing came over in a few steps, and he used his stick to smash the wooden bar through the crack in the door.


    Both of them were extremely nervous, yet at this moment, little Fugui''s voice sounded out from within the room, "No! I won''t go! Who the hell are you? You tell me! "


    Jin Weiwei and Tao Xiaoqing could not help but shiver.


    Tao Xiaoqing anxiously tried to pry open the wooden bolt, as he shouted, "Brother Fugui, Brother Fugui, what''s wrong? Open the door! "


    With a cracking sound, the wooden bolt was broken. Jin Weiwei pushed past Tao Xiaoqing and stepped into the hole.


    The morning sun also poured down, shining on the little rich kid''s face, illuminating the few lines of tears on his face.


    "Tell me!" Xiao Fugui suddenly sat up from the bed, his eyes still filled with deep grief.


    Jin Weiwei frowned. Did he have a nightmare?


    Tao Xiaoqing threw away the stick in his hand and let out a long sigh of relief. "I was scared to death. I thought something big had happened."


    Jin Weiwei flung a knife over and put her finger next to her mouth. "Be quiet."


    Then he walked over to Xiao Fugui''s side quietly.


    "Understood!" "Understood!" Those who had just awoken from their nightmare couldn''t be disturbed. Tao Xiaoqing obediently retreated, not forgetting to take his self-defense stick with him.


    After staring blankly for a while, little Fugui''s pupils gradually became dazed. He noticed that Jin Weiwei beside him had completely disappeared in the blink of an eye.


    Jin Weiwei had never seen the little rich kid lose his composure like this before. She actually cried, so she asked gently, "What did you dream? Why did you cry?"


    Xiao Fugui couldn''t help but recall the words and actions of the woman in his dreams. His eyes flickered as he lifted the blanket and stood up, "I''m fine."


    However, he never mentioned the contents of the dream.


    Seeing him in such a state, Jin Weiwei was silent for a long time. In the end, she didn''t say anything and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.


    He didn''t want to talk about her, so he wouldn''t ask. When the time was right, he would naturally tell her.

 C103

    In the room, the little rich kid silently washed his face. He looked at his reflection in the basin and was stunned.


    It had been a long time since he had this dream. It was probably because he saw the constables that he was able to recall this dream.


    He had always remembered that the woman had died under the sabers of the bailiffs and the guards. He had always remembered how the woman had made him hide so mournfully. That was why he had been able to hide himself when he saw that group of bailiffs yesterday.


    Who are you? Who am I?


    A hint of confusion flashed across the eyes of little rich and noble children.


    "Everyone, come out to eat!" Not long after, Jin Weiwei stood in the yard and shouted.


    Because of the hangover, Jin Dabao staggered out, breathing out a mouthful of alcohol. "Who was the one who shouted just now? Are you crazy?" "It''s so noisy that it gives me a headache."


    Jin Weiwei looked at Jin Dabao and choked in annoyance. "I can see that you''re obviously suffering from the aftereffects of your drunkenness, yet you still want to pour dirty water on someone else."


    Jin Dabao had a headache himself. He was so angry that his eyes were wide open as he shouted, "You naughty girl, what kind of words are you saying? Are you trying to make me die of anger?"


    "How could I dare to anger you to death? I''m afraid of dirtying my own hands." Jin Weiwei rolled her eyes.


    Jin Dabao was so angry that he trembled. He looked around and picked up a wooden stick, preparing to hit someone.


    Of course, he naturally did not dare to actually hit Jin Weiwei, but he drank too much last night and still hadn''t woken up yet. He vaguely felt that he was not afraid of the heavens or the earth and wanted to act like a father, so he picked up the stick and pretended to be.


    Who knew that after only two steps, there was a sudden great pain in his hand. His fingers loosened and the staff fell to the ground. Jin Dabao covered his hand and looked around. He shouted, "Who is it! Come out!"


    Xiao Fugui passed by him calmly, ignoring him.


    Inside the living room, Tao Xiaoqing bit on a steamed bun and said in a slurred voice, "Boss, you''re making him curse so early in the morning?"


    Jin Weiwei turned a deaf ear to him. "Don''t worry about him."


    The three of them used their breakfast. Tao Xiaoqing left first, leading the workers sent by Manager Qian to transport the fresh pig and lamb to the butcher''s shop.


    Jin Weiwei went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.


    Once again, Xiao Fugui walked past Jin Dabao. There was clearly no wind, but his sleeves violently shook.


    Jin Dabao felt refreshed as he was scolded. He only felt something hit his mouth, and soon after, his face wrinkled in pain. He held his mouth and screamed out.


    Little Fugui looked at him coldly and left.


    By the time Jin Weiwei and little Fugui arrived at the butcher''s shop, Tao Xiaoqing had already sliced up the pieces of meat. He had also chopped up the cured meat used to make the sausages.


    Although Wang Su and Fu Cheng had shamelessly slandered him yesterday, Jin Weiwei and little Fugui had worked together to expose his evil intentions, so the business of the butcher was not affected in the slightest.


    Long lines were still lined up in front of the shop. Everyone was happily buying meat as they received the sausages.


    Seeing that there weren''t many sausages left, Jin Weiwei quickly went to make a new one.


    When she saw Cheng Yu last night, she remembered that she still owed him three hundred silver taels for the goods.


    Cheng''s restaurant probably hadn''t seen her exclusive sausage, so the three hundred silver taels were all changed into sausages. Perhaps, they could use this to open up the market of Jin family''s meat shop in the county.


    With this thought in mind, Jin Weiwei''s subordinates sped up. This little rich kid was responsible for collecting the silver. Once he had free time, he would help to make the sausages.


    The three of them worked together to get rid of the customers, one group after another. It was only when the sun rose did they finally have some leisure time. Jin Weiwei packed the sausages and ordered, "Take care of the store. I''ll go deliver the goods to Cheng Jia Restaurant."


    The little rich kid put down the account book in his hand and silently followed.


    Three hundred silver taels of sausages was a huge sum of money. Even if he gave them a few dozen catties a day, he would still need to give them to them for one to two months. It could be said that it was not a small business.


    Dozens of kilograms of sausages weighed in his hand was also heavy. Xiao Fugui and Jin Weiwei borrowed a cart from a nearby store and pushed it to a nearby restaurant.


    It was dinner time. In front of the Cheng Jia Restaurant, there was an endless stream of guests. The restaurant was bustling with noise and excitement.


    The waiter stood by the door and welcomed the guests. When he turned his head, he saw Jin Weiwei. Coincidentally, at this moment, no guests had entered the restaurant. He walked up and examined the sausages on Jin Weiwei''s cart. "This is ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei smiled and reminded him, "You forgot, your young master paid three hundred silver taels for the goods."


    "Oh? "I remember now!" The waiter smacked his head and said, "Wait a moment, I''ll go call someone to move the goods."


    While unloading the sausages together with the waiter, Jin Weiwei did not forget to praise her cooking. "The sausages made by me, Jin Weiwei, have a unique style. They are definitely top-notch. I can''t find a second one in the county."


    The waiter had a round smile on his face. Just as he was about to speak, a man''s arrogant voice came from behind him.


    "What is this?"


    Jin Weiwei, the waiter, and the rich kids all looked up and saw a man covered in fat striding over.


    After seeing this, the little rich kid was no longer interested and continued to unload the goods.


    "Who is he?" Jin Weiwei approached the waiter and blocked his path.


    The waiter glanced at the fat guy and grimaced, "That fat guy is our young master''s second cousin. Cheng Yuan will temporarily be in charge of all the restaurants the Cheng family owns."


    Damn fatty? Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but look towards Cheng Yuan. He really was a fat ball, the fat on his body was trembling with every step. She found it interesting and burst out laughing.


    Cheng Yuan originally only looked at the waiter and the sausages on the cart. When he laughed, his eyes immediately noticed Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei quickly retracted her smile, but Cheng Yuan was already angry.


    Who was this shabby and lowly woman? How dare you laugh at me?


    The waiter quickly bowed and cupped his fists, "Boss, you''re here."


    Cheng Yuan ignored him and pointed at Jin Weiwei, asking arrogantly, "Who is this bitch? What are you doing in our restaurant?! "


    Xiao Fu''e, who was unloading the goods, stopped in his tracks and continued to move his hands expressionlessly.


    Jin Weiwei''s face couldn''t help but sink. "Could it be that this young master grew up eating sh * t?" The moment I opened my mouth, a terrible stench filled the air. "


    "How dare you scold me!" Cheng Yuan flew into a rage.


    The waiter saw that the situation was bad, so he winked at Jin Weiwei and urged her to leave quickly.


    He then smiled at Cheng Yuan and said, "Boss, you told me this morning to invite some friends over. Now that the dishes have been prepared, you should quickly go in and take a look. It doesn''t suit you."


    Who knew that Cheng Yuan would kick the waiter''s heart and scold, "You dog slave, it''s your turn to meddle in this grandpa''s business, scram to the side!"

 C104

    The waiter fell to the ground. The serving staff on the side did not dare to breathe, nobody actually dared to help him out.


    Jin Weiwei angrily glared at Cheng Yuan. Just as she was about to bend down and support her waiter, her slender arm was suddenly grabbed by a greasy hand.


    She raised her head and realized it was Cheng Yuan. She felt a wave of disgust and said, "Damn fatty, let go of me!"


    Who would have thought that Jin Weiwei, who had always thought that she was a man with boundless strength, would not be able to shake off this oily fatty even after using 50% of her strength.


    Jin Weiwei was shocked. She immediately realized that this Cheng Yuan, who looked like a bundle of embroidery, actually had some skill with it?


    He could not help but exert even more force and used 80% of the force again.


    However, Cheng Yuan''s hand was still glued to her arm. Not only did he not shake it off, he squeezed even harder.


    "Let me go!" Jin Weiwei shouted angrily.


    Cheng Yuan laughed proudly as the strength in his hands increased.


    Jin Weiwei cried out in pain.


    "Call, call ¡­" Cheng Yuan laughed out arrogantly, the fat on his fat face quivering. "I''m so happy the more you scream."


    Unexpectedly, just as he finished his sentence, a slender leg flew out from the thorns and landed directly on his stomach. The strength was so great that he flew out and rolled a few rounds on the ground like a round rubber ball.


    Cheng Yuan immediately felt pain and cursed.


    Although they were very disgusted with Cheng Yuan, they were still their masters after all. With their economic lifeline in hand, no one dared to show an expression of schadenfreude. Instead, they had to run over and help Cheng Yuan up with all kinds of words of sympathy.


    "Boss, are you alright?"


    "Boss, do you feel pain? I''ll let you rub it. "


    Cheng Yuan stood up with the help of a few people.


    His face was covered in mud and his entire body was covered in dust. His body was covered in luxurious silk and was covered in dust. He looked as bedraggled as he could get.


    "Who was it that sneaked an attack on me!" Cheng Yuan waved his arm to wave away the shop assistant, his eyes were as big as a bell, as he panted and asked.


    Jin Weiwei opened her mouth to say that it was her, the broad, powerful hand belonging to a man holding hers, while little Fugui walked out from behind her.


    He looked at Cheng Yuan, and his brows were as calm as the green bamboo and cyan cypress on the summit of a mountain. "I kicked him, how about it?"


    The moment his gaze fell on the face of the little rich kid, Cheng Yuan became stupefied. His fat lips opened wide as he stared blankly.


    What a beautiful woman!


    He had a drooling expression on his fat face, and sticky droplets fell from the corners of his mouth.


    He had seen the little rich kid, so why was he in such a disgusting state? Jin Weiwei walked up and looked at the face of the little rich guy. He was handsome as always, but his husband was still as handsome as ever ¡­


    Wait!


    She suddenly realized something.


    A pair of eyes was staring at Cheng Yuan ¡ª ¡ª Could this damn fatty be a rabbit?


    Xiao Fugui also noticed that something was wrong with Cheng Yuan. The gaze that fell on him made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He resisted the urge to attack and stopped punching him.


    When the waiter saw Cheng Yuan''s disgusting expression and saw Lady Jin''s incomparably handsome husband, he immediately understood that Cheng Yuan had once again committed a sexual act and became anxious.


    No way, we can''t harm Lady Jin and the rest. The waiter''s mind raced and stepped forward to block Cheng Yuan''s sight, smiling as he said: "Boss, let''s not bother about these two lowly commoners anymore. Eating wine is more important, didn''t you say that the young master of the Elegant Wind Pavilion will come today?"


    The waiter specifically emphasized the words'' Elegant Wind Pavilion ''and'' Young Master Lian ''. When Jin Weiwei understood the waiter''s hinting, her expression changed. "This damn fatty is indeed a hare."


    Xiao Fugui felt a wave of disgust in his heart, his sleeves shook as he pinched the stone bead with his fingertips.


    Cheng Yuan kicked the waiter away impatiently. "Get lost! Don''t disturb this father from seeing a beauty!"


    The waiter didn''t want to give up. Ignoring everything else, he hurriedly said to Jin Weiwei, "Miss, quickly take your husband and leave. Boss is so manly!"


    "You''re a glutton!" Cheng Yuan turned his face over and angrily kicked the waiter away. He was afraid that this rich kid would run away, so he rushed over to grab him.


    Jin Weiwei''s heart tightened. Before she could make a move, she saw little Fugui''s sleeve flicked and a stone bead shot out.


    There were a total of four beads. Two of them flew toward Cheng Yuan''s eyes with a "sou" sound, while the other two drilled into the fat on his knees.


    Ah!


    Cheng Yuan screamed as he fell to his knees and covered his eyes with his hands.


    My eyes! So painful! My eyes! Why was it so painful? "Ah!


    The waiter and the delivery boy looked at each other, not knowing what had just happened. How could Cheng Yuan become so miserable in just a breath''s time?


    "Boss, boss, what happened to you? Let''s go to the doctor! "


    The waiter gave the two of them a meaningful glance, indicating for them to quickly leave. However, his hands firmly grabbed onto Cheng Yuan.


    "Okay." Jin Weiwei nodded, grabbed little rich kid''s hand, and pushed him onto the cart.


    "Let''s hurry up and go!"


    Xiao Fugui didn''t utter a word, he silently turned his head back and stared at Cheng Yuan, his pupils shooting out a trace of disgust and coldness.


    After returning to the butcher''s shop, Jin Weiwei wanted to return the cart. Naturally, the little rich girl would follow. However, Jin Weiwei insisted on staying in the butcher''s shop. "You stay in the shop and wait for me to come back."


    When Tao Xiaoqing saw the unsightly expression on his boss'' face, he was at a loss.


    At this time, it was still early, and many people were still buying meat.


    Jin Weiwei returned after leaving. She originally wanted to close the butcher''s shop, but when she noticed that there were still so many guests, she could only give up. However, her heart began to feel anxious.


    Since Cheng Yuan was Cheng Yu''s second cousin, and was also able to take over the restaurant, it was sufficient to say that Cheng Yuan''s position in the Cheng family was not low, and if there were no mishaps, he should be from the main branch.


    As for the Cheng Family, they had a lot of power and influence. Cheng Yuan had been beaten to such a state, would the family let the matter rest?


    Her heart felt like it was being held down by a mountain. She found it hard to breathe. She turned her head to look and discovered that little Fugui was still calmly keeping accounts, slowly fiddling with his beads.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but walk over and ask in a low voice, "If our butcher''s shop is here, then we won''t be able to run away from the temple. If Cheng Yuan isn''t a good person, then he will definitely come. When that time comes ¡­"


    She paused for a moment, thinking that she should ask Cheng Yu to make a move.


    The little rich kid''s fingers that were fiddling with the abacus stopped and moved to Jin Weiwei''s charming little face. He said in a calm and tranquil manner, "Don''t worry, I have my own plans."

 C105

    What can you do? "I know you have some skill, but don''t be reckless. Cheng Yuan is a family member, unlike those small fries we met in the past ¡­"


    Xiao Fugui''s expression didn''t change, as if he wasn''t listening at all.


    "The Cheng family is more than enough to cover the sky with their hands in Linshui County. Even if Wang Hai were to see the Cheng family in the county, it would be a taboo, do you understand?"


    Realizing how worried Jin Weiwei was, the little rich kid turned around and put her hands together in front of her palms. "I will remember what you said."


    Little Fugui''s palm was boiling hot. Jin Weiwei could feel the lines of his bones.


    When Tao Xiaoqing was selling his meat, he accidentally saw it. He laughed and said, "Boss, your relationship with Brother Fugui is really good! How enviable! "Hey, big sister, when are you planning to have a baby?"


    Jin Weiwei''s face immediately turned red, just like a cooked prawn. It was very hot!


    She hurriedly tried to withdraw her hand, but it was to no avail. Little Fugui''s eyes were filled with a smile as he stubbornly refused to let go.


    Jin Weiwei could only glare at Tao Xiaoqing in embarrassment and annoyance. "What nonsense are you spouting? I think you''re still too idle! "


    When the woman who bought the meat heard this, her gaze stopped on the two of them as they intertwined with each other. She had an ambiguous expression as she giggled.


    After Tao Xiaoqing''s farce, Jin Weiwei''s worries were mostly dispersed. She lowered her head and sighed: "Well, today we have wine, and tomorrow we will worry about tomorrow." If Cheng Yuan really came to harass him, at most, he would ask Cheng Yu to help.


    Cheng Yu was a gentleman, he would not stand by and watch without doing anything.


    Cheng Yu that Jin Weiwei was talking about in her heart was heading to the Qing Cheng Institute in her carriage. In fact, he should have been here since yesterday, but he had been delayed to this day because he needed to check his account books.


    Under normal circumstances, the rules of the academy were strict. The students couldn''t be so casual about it, but Cheng Yu was an exception.


    On the surface, Qing Cheng Academy belonged to Dean Han Qi, but in reality, they were funded by the Cheng family. In addition, there were people in the government, so Han Qi had always turned a blind eye to Cheng Yu''s actions.


    "Young Master, we''ve arrived at the academy." The coachman said from the front.


    The errand boy grabbed the horse stool and jumped off, then placed the stool next to the carriage.


    Cheng Yu put down the scroll in his hand and calmly stepped down from the horse stool.


    He stood still and looked at the entrance of the academy. Even though the dean and the teachers didn''t really care about him, he had just taken a leave of absence, and once he entered today, it would not be good to break the rules. Otherwise, the teachers would not pursue the matter.


    Thinking of this, Cheng Yu could only sigh and say, "I hope second cousin doesn''t want to stir up any more trouble."


    The errand boy did not know that Cheng Yuan was willing to mortgage the Cheng Family Restaurant for the sake of a Courtesan Belle. He laughed and said, "Young master, there is no need to worry. Although Young Master Yuan does not like to be organized, but he does have his limits."


    A sense of propriety? The corner of the guard Wang Mu''s mouth twitched. If he really had a sense of propriety, would he do such an outrageous thing for a prostitute? The young master had to spend a lot of effort to redeem the restaurant in order to not let his family''s elders know about it.


    For this, he even paid for the personal property of the young master, which was a fertile and picturesque manor.


    When he thought of this, Wang Mu felt angry. He had grown up with Cheng Yu, so he said that Cheng Yuan was a piece of rat shit. He should have kicked him out of the house to avoid any future troubles.


    However, Cheng Yuan had a very high status, he was the only son of the Cheng family''s old patriarch''s son.


    The Cheng family only had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son was Cheng Feng, Cheng Yu''s father; the youngest son was Cheng Bao, who died a long time ago due to many illnesses. The eldest son also died young, but fortunately, Cheng Yuan was left as his second son.


    The Old Master had always preferred the frail and sickly son Cheng Bao. After Cheng Bao''s death, he shed tears and transferred all his love to Cheng Yuan. This way, no one would dare to care about Cheng Yuan.


    Cheng Yuan relied on his grandfather''s care. He had done countless hateful things, but he was always safe and sound.


    After thinking for a while, Wang Mu still couldn''t help but say, "Young Master, in my opinion, you don''t need to worry about the troubles caused by Young Master Yuan in the future. He should be in charge of the businesses around the restaurant."


    "Shut up!" He turned around and looked at Wang Mu. "Cheng Yuan is my second cousin, so his business is my problem. How can I just ignore him when he''s in trouble?"


    Wang Mu knew that Cheng Yu was angry, so he could only unwillingly swallow down the retorts in his heart and silently followed behind him.


    Although Sir Cheng Yu was a heaven-sent genius, his heart was too soft.


    Wang Mu started to worry for his young master. The old master was still alive, and Cheng Yu''s father never asked about business. If the old master died, then the family business ¡­


    He was afraid that according to the Old Master''s preference, there was a high chance that Cheng Yuan would fall into his hands. Cheng Yuan was irritable and selfish. If he really took control of the whole family, would there still be a way for his young master to live in the future?


    Wang Mu gritted his teeth. Young master was merciful and lenient, but as a guard, he had to consider Young Master for himself. Since Young Master didn''t want to say it, then let him!


    Cheng Yu didn''t know what Wang Mu was thinking and was thinking about his second cousin, Cheng Yuan. Cheng Yu didn''t know Wang Mu''s thoughts and was thinking about his second cousin, Cheng Yuan.


    Years...


    Cheng Yu''s eyes moved when she thought of this. Her elegant face revealed a strong sense of guilt.


    At this time, the teachers in the academy were all teaching their studies, so Cheng Yu couldn''t enter and interrupt her lessons. Thus, she returned to her living quarters in the academy.


    The errand boy busily packed up his things and placed his books on the table.


    Wang Mu walked to Cheng Yu''s side, lowered his head and said, "Young Master, I don''t think there''s anything I can be needed here for the time being. Could this subordinate take a look outside?"


    Cheng Yu also knew Wang Mu was someone who couldn''t stay idle. Usually, when he was studying at the academy, Wang Mu would slip away to another place to do his homework.


    "Go!" Cheng Yu Si''s tone was a little too serious, so he said gently, "You can have a good time today, it''s fine if you don''t come back."


    Warmth filled Wang Mu''s heart, but soon after, he clenched his fists and said, "Then Young Noble, I''m leaving."


    Walking out of the room in large strides, Wang Mu pushed his feet and rushed towards the direction of the Cheng family''s residence.

 C106

    After the bookshelves had been tidied up, the errand boys respectfully said, "Young Master, everything has been tidied up. Do you have any other instructions?"


    Cheng Yu waved his hand, indicating for them to go out, and started reading the book with rapt attention.


    He was lost in thought after a while, not knowing that night had fallen as time flowed. When he regained his senses, all the students in the academy had already finished their classes and were heading back to their residences in twos and threes.


    Cheng Yu lived in an exclusive small courtyard, and the courtyard next to him was where his classmate Wang Yi lived. Wang Yi was usually the loudest, so when he said that, Cheng Yu knew that class was over.


    It was likely that Brother Zheng had returned to his room to sleep. Cheng Yu closed the book, stood up, and walked out alone.


    When the errand boy saw Cheng Yu, he quickly asked, "Young Master, where are you going?"


    Cheng Yu looked at him, "No need to follow me, I''ll be back soon."


    Cheng Yu walked briskly to Zheng with the cool moonlight and the gentle moonlight.


    As he expected, Zheng had returned and was sewing under the light.


    Cheng Yu saw his actions from the window and could not help but laugh, "Brother Zheng will definitely be a good husband in the future. Cheng Yu saw his actions from the window and could not help but laugh," Brother Zheng will definitely be a good husband in the future.


    Hearing Cheng Yu''s voice, Zheng put down the clothes in his hands and smiled helplessly. "Don''t joke with me, Brother Cheng. I don''t have someone serving me. I have to do my own work to survive."


    There was no gap between the two of them as they spoke, neither was there the slightest bit of hesitation.


    Liu Fei, who slept in the same room as Zheng, looked at Zheng with a strange expression. He felt jealous and contemptuous at the same time.


    A poor man dares to be so intimate with Cheng Yu, just wait for the others in the academy to isolate him. Liu Fei let out a cold snort, this untimely sound was exceptionally clear in the silent night.


    Zheng heard it but his face didn''t change at all.


    Cheng Yu''s eyes turned cold, but he still maintained a gentle smile as he politely said, "Brother Zheng and I have some private matters to discuss with each other. Could you please step back for a moment?"


    Liu Fei was stunned for a moment. He was unwilling to do so. He had spent the entire day reading only to fall asleep quickly. Furthermore, since it was a private matter, why not go out and discuss it and avoid doing so?


    Cheng Yu was trying to do the opposite of what he said.


    He suddenly felt resentment in his heart. However, who among the students didn''t know that the Azure City Academy was completely under the control of the Cheng family? He couldn''t afford to offend Cheng Yu.


    Suppressing the resentment in his heart, Liu Fei forced out a smile. "If that''s the case, then I''ll take a walk in the bamboo forest."


    Looking at Liu Fei''s leaving figure, Zheng shook his head at Cheng Yu. "Why are you doing this?" Originally, they had respected you from a distance. However, your actions today will only cause them to be dissatisfied with you. "


    "So what?" Cheng Yu gently smiled, although she looked as gentle as the spring wind in March, her eyebrows were still cold. However, they are just a group of scoundrels who covet my family''s power, and do not dare to approach me because they are afraid of being isolated. "


    Seeing that Cheng Yu didn''t mind, Zheng could only sigh.


    "It''s already so late, you must have something to discuss with me." Zheng took out his cup and poured some tea for Cheng Yu.


    Cheng Yu looked around to make sure there was no one else around before whispering, "That Second Aunt of yours came to find me yesterday."


    "She really did go and find you. I really didn''t expect that it would be useless even if I purposely concealed your identity." Zheng''s hand holding the cup paused for a moment. "Why did she come to see you?"


    Cheng Yu took the cup from Zheng''s hand. Instead of answering directly, he raised his eyes and asked, "Do you know that your second aunt was taken away by Jiang Qing?"


    What?


    His second aunt, Jin Xiaodie, had been abandoned by Jiang Qingshu! When had this happened? Why had his mother never mentioned it to him?


    Zheng''s eyes widened in surprise. He didn''t even know that he had opened his mouth.


    Seeing his expression, Cheng Yu had an answer in her heart, "You really don''t know, your second aunt came to find me because of the matter of her abandonment. She wanted me to help her, but I only said that I was considering it."


    Cheng Yu didn''t say how Jin Xiaodie wanted to help her, but Zheng was a smart person and knew her character. He speculated, "Is she unhappy with the idea of helping Jiang Qingshu''s family?"


    Holding the teacup, Cheng Yu praised, "You guessed right, but you still don''t understand the thoughts of an abandoned wife. Your good second aunt is not only interested in dividing the fortune, she wants to ruin her ex-husband''s reputation."


    "What''s so special about that!"


    Zheng could no longer sit still.


    Cheng Yu''s eyes were always sharp. He had his own judgment, but without concrete evidence, Zheng wouldn''t believe it. He didn''t explain and just said blandly, "Just wait and see. She''ll come back for me."


    Knowing this, Zheng Tan felt uneasy.


    He believed that Cheng Yu''s words were absolutely true. His second aunt, Jin Xiaodie, might really cause trouble for both sides. When that happened, his mother, Jin Xiaoyan, would definitely be involved. Thinking of this, Zheng felt a headache coming on.


    Cheng Yu stood up after drinking the tea and said with a smile, "You can worry about it slowly. I can''t interfere with your family matters, but since your good second aunt is looking for me, it means that you''re still not sure. I''ll take care of it for you when the time comes."


    Cheng Yu left without giving Zheng a second to react.


    Under the same sky, Jin Weiwei was hugging her knees as she stared at the dazzling stars. Next to her sat little rich and powerful children.


    "Here, this is a pomegranate I bought when I was walking down a street. Try it." She took the pomegranate out of the bag and handed it to him.


    Xiao Fugui took it over and separated it to eat one or two pills. When the sweet juice of the fruit began to spread in his mouth, his eyes slightly lit up.


    "Is it delicious?" Jin Weiwei turned around and looked at him.


    The little rich kid nodded and stuffed another handful of fruits into his mouth, crunching the fresh juice out of it.


    Jin Weiwei was happy to see him like her.


    "Weiwei ¡­" Little Fugui looked at her with his eyes, his gaze was like the blazing sun in the middle of summer, causing people to be unable to hide from his gaze.


    Jin Weiwei''s heart skipped a beat. She couldn''t be asking about the source of this pomegranate, right? Just thinking about this made his heart race.


    Unexpectedly, Xiao Fugui then said something that he didn''t want to do, "If there is a woman who gave up her life to save another man, then what is the relationship between that woman and that man?"


    What was this?


    Jin Weiwei was stunned for a moment. After she realized that little rich kid was serious, she lowered her head and thought, "If it was me, I would think that the woman and that man are husband and wife or relatives."


    Couples or relatives?


    Little Fugui silently thought this twice in his heart.


    However, who was the woman in the dream?

 C107

    "It''s getting late, let''s rest early." Jin Weiwei stood up and said while stretching.


    Xiao Fugui nodded as he grabbed the pomegranate, then turned around and left.


    Jin Weiwei felt that the young rich man tonight was a little strange, but she couldn''t say anything, so she could only follow after him.


    The night was getting darker and quieter. While the flowers were blooming and the moon was going down, Jiang Qingshu was standing in his room with a ferocious look on his face as he paced back and forth anxiously.


    During the day, he had sent someone to bribe the jailer, asking him to cook Wang Su''s food. However, even now, the jailer had yet to give him any news.


    Could it be that the jailer didn''t succeed?


    "Pock Li!" "Flax Li!" The more Jiang Qingshu thought about it, the more panicked he became. He shouted again and again, "Where did you die? "Come in quickly!"


    Li Linzi carefully pushed the door open and entered. When he closed the door behind him, he vaguely saw a shadow fly by. He blinked his eyes and saw nothing else.


    He must have seen wrongly, pockmarked Li muttered in his heart.


    He nodded his head and bowed towards Jiang Qingshu, "Boss, why are you looking for me?"


    "Has there been any news from that jailer Wang?!"


    "This ¡­" Pock Li hesitated. What should he say?


    It was true that none of the guards had heard anything, but Li Linzi had already seen through Jiang Qingshu''s thoughts. He just didn''t know if he should tell Jiang Qingshu or not.


    If Jiang Qingshou hadn''t told him that Jiang Chen''s plan had failed, he wouldn''t have ended up in such a sorry state. But if he did, it would have been difficult for Jiang Qingshou to vent his anger on him.


    Li Zi was at a loss for a moment.


    Jiang Qingshu grabbed him by the front of his shirt angrily and glared at him with his red eyes. "I''m asking you a question, hurry up and say it!"


    Seeing this face that was bordering on madness, Hempsey Li trembled and did not dare to hesitate anymore. He said in detail, "Prison Guard Wang did not send any message, but ¡­" From the looks of it, he seems to want more silver. "


    All the people who came in contact with Wang Shouzi were pockmarked Li, so what he said was quite believable.


    Jiang Qingshu knew exactly what kind of person Wang Shuyuan was. He squeezed out a few words through his gritted teeth, "That greedy little man. 30 taels of silver isn''t even enough to pay for it!"


    He grabbed the cup from the table and smashed it down. His face was filled with rage. "I will never pay another cent. You have to hurry him up tomorrow."


    "Boss, you can''t. You have to pay this silver ¡­" Leopard was afraid that Jiang Qing Shou would keep his word, so he quickly tried to persuade him: "If Boss is to fight to the death with prison guard Wang Su, if you cannot obtain the 100 taels of silver you promised, she will definitely hand it over to the County Magistrate. When your reputation is tarnished, Jiang Ji''s meat shop''s business will also plummet, who would be willing to come to our meat shop to buy meat?"


    His words were like a bucket of cold water being poured over Jiang Qingshu''s head, waking him up all of a sudden.


    Li Linzi felt his mood stabilise a bit and said while the iron was still hot, "Don''t forget, you still owe Shopkeeper Liu some silver. If the butcher''s shop breaks down, how are you going to repay the money? That Manager Lin and Manager Liu are not to be trifled with.


    The Lin Clan and Li Clan were also among the richest families in Linshui County. They were on par with Shopkeeper Qian''s wife, Shen Cui Hua''s Shen Family. Thinking of the last time Shen Cui Hua barged in, Jiang Qing Shou couldn''t help but shiver, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.


    "Flax Li, what do you think we should do?" Jiang Qing Shou looked on gloomily.


    "Boss, to put it bluntly, that jailer Wang wants money. Just give me ten taels of silver tomorrow, and I will do my best to persuade him to act quickly."


    Ten taels of silver! Jiang Qingshu''s pupils dilated.


    pockmarked Li felt weak in his heart and hurriedly said, "Boss, I can''t bear to part with my child."


    Jiang Qingshu gritted his teeth as if he was about to break. After a moment of silence, he panted heavily, "I''ll do as you say. But before I say, if you lose ten taels of silver, I''ll skin you alive."


    Li Linzi shivered but didn''t dare to say anything.


    Breathing deeply, Jiang Qingshu opened Jin Xiaodie''s jewelry box with a pained expression on his face. He took out two heavy silver bracelets and handed them to Li Linzi.


    He stretched his hand out and took it. Then, he quietly withdrew himself until he arrived in the yard. Only then did he dare to examine the silver bracelet in his hand.


    "This amount of ten taels of silver is enough ¡­" He mumbled to himself with a treacherous smile on his face, "So, wealth has to be obtained from the peril."


    Li Linzi proudly raised his head and walked out.


    In the dark corner of the courtyard, a man floated down from a tree. He stared at Li Ma as a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Both of his feet pushed off the ground and he floated into the air. He silently followed behind the young man.


    Pockmark Li walked with big steps and knocked on the door of the cell.


    After a while, the tired voice of a man called out, "Who is it?" In the middle of the night. "


    Li Linzi immediately shouted with a suppressed voice, "Big Brother Wang, it''s me! I''m here to give you money!"


    Hearing the word "money", jailer Wang''s drowsy body immediately ran away. His hands and feet swiftly opened the cell''s door.


    "How much did you knock out of him this time?" he asked excitedly.


    Pock Li gestured with his hand.


    While the two of them were talking, the man behind them lightly jumped over the wall and entered the prison.


    With a bang, the iron lock was forcibly shattered.


    In the cell, Wang Su woke up with a start and opened her eyes in a daze.


    A man opened the cell door and walked in. With the help of the light from the candle outside the cell, Wang Su instantly recognized the newcomer.


    "It''s you!" He shouted in shock.


    Isn''t that the one from the Golden Note Meat Shop who did the accounting? It seems to be that husband of Jin Weiwei''s?


    That''s right, the person who had just arrived was none other than Xiao Fugui. He looked at Wang Su with an unfathomable expression.


    Wang Su''s heart was beating rapidly.


    How did this person get in? The guard was not alarmed by the sound so it meant that the man had snuck in secretly.


    What was he doing here? Could he be trying to take his life?


    When she thought of this, a layer of sweat appeared on Wang Su''s back. She hugged herself and retreated timidly, "I''ll tell you that there are prison guards everywhere. If you dare to mess around, I ¡­"


    "I''m not here to kill you." Xiao Fu and Gui Zi said indifferently.


    "Then why did you sneak in?" Wang Su looked at him suspiciously.


    There was no longer any time to waste. Xiao Fu''er grabbed Wang Su''s shoulder with one hand and pressed on the mute acupoint on his body with the other, "We have come to invite you to a good show."


    Wang Su was completely befuddled by Xiao Fugui as she carried her on his shoulder. Watching a show? What kind of play was there in the middle of the night? What did he mean?

 C108

    The guards who were in charge of the cells were usually at the entrance to the cells. As expected, after Xiao Fugui went over, he discovered the silhouettes of jailer Wang and Li Pi Zi.


    When he was just a few meters away from the door, he stomped his feet and landed on the roof beam with a light stroke of luck. He placed Wang Su beside him.


    Wang Su was about to struggle when she suddenly heard a familiar voice from below. He quickly looked over and saw a large, pockmarked face in front of him.


    Pock Li? What was he doing in the cell late at night?


    Doubt welled up in Wang Su''s heart, and she forgot everything else for a moment.


    "I risked a lot of money to get this silver bracelet from Jiang Qingshu. We agreed that you would give me 30% of the payment for the hard work."


    Prison Guard Wang bit the silver bracelet into his mouth. It was indeed pure silver and its purity was quite high. Immediately, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.


    He patted Li Linzi on the shoulder and said, "Don''t worry, I won''t miss that small amount of money that you have spent to treat me."


    Hearing the conversation between the two, Wang Su became even more perplexed. From what she heard, Jiang Qingshu was giving money to this jailer?


    But why would he do that?


    As he was puzzled, he was immediately followed by Flax Li who was standing under the roof.


    "If you don''t give me the 30% reward, I won''t let you off. Besides, Jiang Qingshu has already endured to the limit ¡­" "That''s why you need to hurry up and make a move, otherwise, if he turns hostile, we won''t be able to take the consequences."


    Prison Guard Wang placed the silver bracelet on his chest and smiled as if he did not care. "I, Wang Zhong, will not take your master''s money for free. Rest assured, I will drug Wang Su''s breakfast as soon as the sun shines. I guarantee that he won''t be able to say a single word."


    Drug? What do they want to give me? Wang Su clenched her teeth.


    Upon hearing the jailer''s words, pockmarked Li said in a skeptical tone, "Then I''ll believe you for the time being."


    The jailer patted his shoulder and said, "Don''t worry, don''t worry ¡­"


    He stood up and turned around to leave, but he was still a bit worried. He warned again, "Since you''ve already accepted the boss''s silver, then the three of us are like grasshoppers on a string, and Wang Su doesn''t recognize a single word of it. As long as he is poisoned and mute, even if he wants to turn over a confession in the future, he has no way of reprimanding it, so we can truly be at ease ¡­"


    Hearing this, how could Wang Su not understand? Her face was flushed red from overflowing anger. His teeth chattered and his eyes shone with bone-deep hatred.


    He had worked hard for Jiang Qingshou and even went to jail. Now, all he wanted was a hundred taels of silver to support his wife and children. Fortunately, he hadn''t committed a serious crime. Otherwise, Jiang Qingshou might have just killed him!


    Xiao Fu''er glanced at Wang Su''s expression and knew that he had achieved his goal, so he sent him back to his cell.


    After tossing and turning, the sky started to brighten again. The rooster began to squawk, waking up Jin Weiwei, who was still in a daze.


    After tossing and turning in bed for a while, she couldn''t fall asleep no matter what, so she just sat up.


    He didn''t know if the rice that had just been scattered in space had sprouted. He guessed in his heart that Jin Weiwei had opened the door to space.


    A gust of wind blew in her face, gently and slightly cooling her, causing her to feel refreshed and sigh comfortably.


    Walking to the edge of the paddy field, she was shocked. The rice on the fertile ground had not only sprouted, but had grown to the height of a palm.


    This speed of growth seemed to be even faster than before.


    How could she not be surprised? In the real world, even if the rice was grown to the point of sprouting, it would still take a long time.


    But in space, it would only take a few days to grow and mature. Didn''t this mean that Jin Weiwei could easily obtain a massive amount of food?


    Furthermore, the rice that was grown was so delicious. It was completely unique.


    Jin Weiwei was beaming with joy as she thought that she might still be able to do the grain business in the future. That would be truly profitable.


    She walked out of the space slowly and happily. When she opened the window to take a breath of fresh air, she inadvertently glanced to the left from the corner of her eyes.


    He just happened to see little rich kids walk in from outside the courtyard.


    "Are you out for a walk again?" Jin Weiwei leaned her head on the windowsill and asked.


    Little Fugui''s feet paused for a moment. He didn''t expect to be seen by Jin Weiwei again. He lowered his eyes and said casually, "Yes!"


    He turned and entered his own room.


    Jin Weiwei raised her head and looked at the night sky, lost in thought.


    Little Fugui must have been hiding something from me for the past few days.


    After the four of them finished their breakfast, Jin Dabao shamelessly asked Jin Weiwei for money to buy some wine.


    Jin Weiwei looked at him coldly, not letting him go at all.


    The two of them were in a stalemate. Tao Xiaoqing, who was supposed to be loading beef and mutton onto the cart with the laborer that was sent by Shopkeeper Qian, rushed over and shouted, "Boss! A yamen runner has come to see you."


    Why would a bailiff look for him?


    The figures of Wang Su and Xu Lan''er immediately appeared in Jin Weiwei''s mind. It must be related to these two.


    She strode out, and Jin Dabao quickly followed her.


    A bailiff dressed in blue stood in front of the brown wooden door.


    With a glance, Jin Weiwei discovered that he was very young, no more than ten years old.


    However, her heart was at ease. It seemed like it was not a big deal. Otherwise, the head of the yamen would not have sent such a young man here.


    She was about to say something when Jin Dabao grabbed the yamen runner and asked, "Did you guys come to find my daughter because she caused some trouble?"


    The young bailiff was stunned and had no time to speak.


    Jin Dabao let go of his arm and pointed at Jin Weiwei. His nose was not like his nose or his eyes. You don''t know what you are doing outside the city all day long.


    This reaction left the young bailiff dumbstruck.


    He felt that it was a bit inconceivable. This man should be the relative of Lady Jin, so as a relative, shouldn''t he ask clearly and come to a conclusion?


    Jin Weiwei harrumphed coldly in her heart.


    This Jin Dabao really forgot the pain after his scar healed. Did he have too many cool days these two days that he had to drink horse urine every day to forget how he was scared to death when he was at Quan An Temple?


    Sure enough, dogs couldn''t stop themselves from eating feces. After coming to the county city for just a few days, this dog''s tail had stood up once again. Now, not only did he extend his hand to ask for money, he even dared to openly challenge her, Jin Weiwei.

 C109

    Jin Weiwei resisted the urge to beat him up. She rolled her eyes and choked, "Dad, you really have such a stupid brain. Don''t you think that if I did commit a crime, the county magistrate would only send one yamen runner?"


    Jin Dabao immediately choked. He was afraid that he would be implicated earlier on, so he had to clear his own mind.


    He forced out a smile because he felt guilty, even his voice was soft, "Aren''t I being too impatient?"


    "What''s the rush?" Jin Weiwei glared at him in annoyance. Seeing that he lowered his head and didn''t dare to look at her, she sneered, "I''m afraid that I''ll be implicated, aren''t I?"


    Tao Xiaoqing also nodded in agreement.


    The young bailiff looked at Jin Dabao and then looked at Tao Xiaoqing''s reaction. He could not see any clues behind it. Lady Jin''s father was really different from the other fathers.


    There was really no time to tangle with Jin Dabao. Jin Weiwei took a deep breath and took out half a silver coin from her pocket, throwing it to Jin Dabao. "Don''t you want money?" Here, get lost. "


    Jin Dabao immediately reached out his hand to catch it and walked away with a wide smile.


    Looking at Jin Dabao''s figure, the young bailiff didn''t know what to say. After a while, he asked with suspicion, "Miss Jin, was that man really your father?"


    When Tao Xiaoqing heard the young bailiff''s question, he felt some pity for his boss. With such a selfish father around, he would have to send him off for old age in the future. His boss was truly unlucky.


    Jin Weiwei''s expression didn''t change at all, she only said briefly, "Yes."


    The atmosphere was awkward for a moment. The bailiff had never seen a father like this before. He didn''t want to protect his daughter and only cared about himself.


    The bailiff looked at Jin Weiwei with sympathy before cupping his fists and politely saying, "The county magistrate has summoned you. Could Miss Jin come with me?"


    Jin Weiwei thought for a moment and asked, "Can you tell me why the magistrate summoned me?"


    After all, any commoner who was suddenly summoned by the county magistrate would feel apprehensive. The young bailiff scratched his head and smiled, "Miss Jin need not worry, the county magistrate is looking for you because Wang Su is crying her grievances in prison this morning."


    Wang Su''s vicious act was exposed before the eyes of the crowd. She had clearly admitted to it in court, so why did she start shouting grievances within two to three days?


    The truth was rather strange. Could it be that Jiang Qingshu had come up with another vicious plan to bite him back in the court?


    A few thoughts flashed through her mind, and Jin Weiwei frowned.


    Suddenly, she felt something poking at her arm. She turned around and realized it was Tao Xiaoqing.


    Tao Xiaoqing said innocently, "Boss, the bailiff called you a few times, but you didn''t react."


    Only then did Jin Weiwei realize that she was lost in her thoughts. She quickly apologized, "Sorry, I forgot about other things while I was thinking."


    The bailiff youth was also unconcerned. "May I ask Miss Jin to come back with me to the yamen as soon as possible. The county magistrate is waiting for you."


    Waiting for me? Jin Weiwei was a little confused.


    However, she did not pursue the matter any further. Time was of the essence. She turned around and instructed Tao Xiaoqing, "Today, you will be staying at the butcher''s shop by yourself. Little Fugui and I ¡­"


    Oh right, she looked around. Where are the children of Xiao Fu and Gui? Not in his own house.


    She quickly walked to the front door of the little rich kid''s house. Just as she was about to push the door open and enter, she heard his voice from inside, "I''m not feeling well. I''ll stay at home today."


    "Where is the discomfort?" A look of concern appeared on Jin Weiwei''s face. She reached to the door and discovered that the door was locked, so she had no choice but to ask, "Do you need a doctor?"


    "No need." Little Fugui''s voice was indifferent, strong, and full of confidence.


    It looks like there''s nothing wrong, Jin Weiwei thought. Thus, he said, "You should rest well at home today. The county magistrate has something to discuss with me. If I don''t come home tonight, I''ll leave everything in your hands."


    Little Fugui nodded and didn''t say anything else.


    Jin Weiwei turned around and walked toward the young bailiff. "Let''s go."


    After working hard for such a long time, the sun had already risen above everyone''s heads, and the air was somewhat hot.


    Jin Weiwei and the bailiff rushed to the yamen.


    After about half a cup of tea''s worth of time, eight bailiffs rushed out from the back of the court and stood on both sides of the hall. Each of them held a powerful killing stick in their hands.


    Wang Hai, who was wearing a red official uniform, walked out after a while.


    Jin Weiwei immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully. "My lady, Jin Weiwei, greets the Magistrate."


    Wang Hai had a good impression of Jin Weiwei. He stroked his beard and said, "Stand up."


    Only then did Jin Weiwei stand up and look at Wang Hai, "I wonder what is the purpose of the magistrate summoning me?"


    Although she had already heard the slightest bit from the bailiff''s mouth, it was still better to hear it from Wang Hai for safety''s sake.


    "I''ve called you here today because Wang Su was shouting injustice. She said that there was another mastermind behind all of this, but she was unwilling to speak the truth. She had to wait for you to come before she was willing to speak."


    So that''s how it was! Jin Weiwei''s clear eyes flashed slightly. On the first day of the meat shop''s opening, when Wang Su slandered her for poisoning the meat, she had already noticed that there was someone behind Wang Su.


    However, Wang Su was just a pawn of the mastermind.


    Wang Hai cleared his throat and ordered the bailiff, "Bring Wang Su over!"


    "Yes sir!" The bailiff clasped his hands together before turning around to leave the court. Soon, Wang Su was brought in with her shackles.


    "Kneel!" The bailiff behind him kicked Wang Su''s knee.


    Wang Su groaned in pain as she turned her head to glare at the bailiff.


    When Jin Weiwei saw this scene, she knew that Wang Su was no pushover, so she waited for him to curse. However, what surprised her was that she actually knelt down obediently.


    Not only did he not curse, he did not utter a single word.


    However, in just a few days, had Wang Su''s temper changed?


    Jin Weiwei stared at Wang Su''s back, her eyes turning.


    Or could it be that this Wang Su had other plans in mind, and was only waiting for an opportunity to counterattack?


    However, it was difficult to change one''s nature. Regardless of how much evolution would happen to Wang Su, she had to be extremely careful.


    With a "pa" sound, the shocking wood vibrated in all directions. Wang Hai sat on the armchair and said in a clear voice, "Let the hall open!"


    The constables immediately shouted in unison, "Mighty!"


    When the voice disappeared, Wang Hai looked at Wang Su with a solemn expression. "Wang Su, you kept saying that there was a mastermind behind this case. Now that the culprit has arrived, why are you still not admitting to it?"

 C110

    When Wang Su heard the words'' victim '', she turned her head to look at Jin Weiwei.


    It was a look of shame, but it was accompanied by an almost imperceptible firmness.


    Jin Weiwei sensed it and a strange feeling rose from deep within her heart. Wang Su''s gaze just now was indeed filled with shame, but why was he doing this?


    Furthermore, it didn''t look like she was acting. She could clearly distinguish between Jin Weiwei''s serious heart and her false feelings.


    While she was distracted here, Wang Su had already turned her head and said seriously, "Sinner Wang Su is unable to differentiate between black and white. For her own selfish desire, she cheated Lady Jin. Now, she is willing to speak of all the truths and atone for her sins."


    Redemption? Jin Weiwei looked at Wang Su in surprise and was stunned on the spot.


    "It''s better to know what''s wrong." Wang Hai sat up straight and waved his sleeves. He said, "Tell me, if everything you say is true and the victims no longer pursue the matter, then I can punish them for it."


    Wang Su kowtowed gratefully and said, "This sinner thanks sire for his kindness. If I were to leave this prison, I will definitely set up a memorial tablet for you."


    Everyone loves to hear nice words. Wang Hai couldn''t help but stroke his beard again.


    Jin Weiwei stared at Wang Su without moving.


    Did Wang Su really repent? Was she going to atone for her sins?


    Wang Su, who was kneeling in front of him, said, "The mastermind behind this case is my boss, Jiang Qingshu!"


    Jin Weiwei was not the least bit surprised when Jiang Qingshu said this. She had suspected Jiang Qingshu since the opening day, but after turning the page three times and not being able to see him, she suppressed the thought.


    Wang Hai''s sharp eyes turned to Jin Weiwei, only to discover that her expression was extremely calm. He immediately felt that something was amiss.


    When a victim learned of the culprit who framed him, most of them were shocked and disregarded his words to their credit. However, Jin Weiwei''s reaction was really ¡­


    Wang Hai hissed at Jin Weiwei and asked, "Do you know this Jiang Qingshu?"


    Jin Weiwei bowed and said, "I do know him. He is my second uncle."


    "That''s a relative." Wang Hai frowned and asked puzzledly, "But why did he frame you?" I also know that there will inevitably be friction between the two sides of the family, but it shouldn''t be possible for them to set up such a vicious plot. "


    "Milord, do you know that the grudge between Jiang Qingshou and I is not something that can be compared to ordinary friction? Although we may seem like aunts and uncles, in reality, we are no match for our enemies." She spoke in detail, her expression very calm, as if what she was saying was not her own business.


    Hearing this, Wang Hai couldn''t help but sigh. To have enmity with one''s flesh and blood was the greatest tragedy in the world. However, he had some doubts, and his gaze naturally appeared.


    Wang Su saw that Wang Hai didn''t believe her, so she testified on the side, "What Jin Weiwei said is the truth. This one can prove that Jiang Qingshu and she hate each other and never interact."


    Wang Su had been Jiang Qingshu''s confidant before, so Wang Hai trusted him. "Tell me everything from the beginning to the end about how this Jiang Qingshu incited you to commit evil." He then turned around and ordered one of the bailiffs, "Go to the Jiang family and capture Jiang Qingshu. We must return within fifteen minutes."


    The bailiff ran out like a wisp of smoke.


    On the other side, Wang Su told her about how Jin Weiwei had cut off Jiang Qingshou''s business with Shopkeeper Qian, and how Jin Weiwei had opened a butcher''s shop in the county, causing Jiang Ji''s business to run out of business. Therefore, Jiang Qing Shou told her the whole story of how he had sent himself to harm Jin Weiwei after setting up a poison scheme.


    Not a single detail was missed.


    At this point, the entire case was completely revealed.


    Wang Hai looked at Wang Su with the dignity of an official, "Are your words true?"


    Wang Su kowtowed and made a loud noise as she hit the ground, "This little one is not lying at all. If you lie even the slightest bit, I will die a horrible death."


    Wang Hai was not in a hurry to come to a conclusion. He had to listen to someone else''s story.


    Waiting was always boring. He stroked his beard and walked out from behind the desk. "Jin Weiwei, can you tell me how you and Jiang Qingshu came to have such a deep grudge?"


    The moment the magistrate''s voice rang out, all the yamen runners, including Wang Su, looked at Jin Weiwei.


    Everyone was curious, even the officials.


    Moreover, it was rare for this uncle and niece to have a feud between them.


    Originally, it wasn''t important, and Jin Weiwei didn''t want to hide it. Therefore, she recalled the past and her eyes gradually became misty.


    "My dear mother passed away when I was young, but my father hung out with me all day long. I didn''t see him even once in ten days or half a month. As a result, I often starve ¡­" Jin Weiwei spoke about her tragic childhood at a moderate pace. However, there was no longer any grief in her heart.


    The people in the court revealed some sympathy.


    When Jin Weiwei told them everything she had experienced as a child, especially the incident of her being sent to Jiang Qingshu''s home, being cursed at for her daily labours and almost being violated by Jiang Qingshu, yet being driven away like a fox by her second aunt, the yamen runners in the court were filled with righteous indignation.


    "This Jiang Qingshou is worse than a beast!"


    "Scum!"


    "In my opinion, not only Jiang Qingshu, even Lady Jin''s father is a scum. If he wasn''t so concerned with his own happiness and didn''t care about Lady Jin''s life, would she have had to undergo all these trials and tribulations?" The one who spoke was the bailiff who had gone to invite Jin Weiwei this morning. He looked at Jin Weiwei with pity in his eyes, "No wonder when I heard that Miss Jin was summoned by the magistrate, I denounced her indiscriminately. I even tried to get rid of the relationship between myself and Lady Jin."


    Everyone present didn''t expect that Jin Weiwei''s father would be so shameless!


    Even the county magistrate, who had always praised himself as a man of letters with nothing to do, could not help but reveal an angry look on his face. "The beast has the heart to lick the calf, but his actions are no worse than those of a beast."


    Wang Su, who had been kneeling on the ground, was so ashamed that she could not speak. He had never thought that Jin Weiwei would bear such a deep pain while he helped Zhou Weiqing become a sinner.


    Jin Weiwei looked at everyone''s sympathetic eyes and said with a faint smile, "But thanks to all these hardships, I was able to recover my consciousness and become a normal person."


    Upon hearing Jin Weiwei''s words, Wang Hai shot her an appreciative look. "A disaster depends on the blessing of the Xi Dynasty, you can be considered to have gone through the hardships of your life. Although your father is a bastard, he is still his daughter after all, so you still need to be filial."


    Since the county magistrate said so, the rest of the bailiffs naturally followed suit.


    Only Jin Weiwei knew clearly in her heart that the original owner of this body had already been scared out of his wits. The sins that Jin Dabao and the others committed were unforgivable.


    Therefore, she only lowered her head in a humble and educated manner, as if to conceal the contempt and loathing in her eyes.

 C111

    At the same time, Jiang Qingshou finally arrived at the yamen with the bailiff. As soon as he entered the court, he felt waves of hostility surrounding him.


    He looked around and found that all the constables who met his gaze were glaring furiously, as if they were not looking at a single person but a piece of trash and an animal.


    Turning to the left, he noticed Jin Weiwei and felt his heart skip a beat. He felt even more uneasy.


    "This lowly one is Jiang Qingshou, greetings to the Magistrate. May I know why sire has summoned me?"


    Wang Hai had been carefully observing Jiang Qingshu ever since he had arrived. From the way he was dressed to the way he acted, he didn''t look picky at all. If Jin Weiwei hadn''t told him his true face beforehand, Wang Hai might have been deceived.


    Jiang Qing Shou''s gaze shifted, and when he caught sight of Wang Su''s figure, his entire body froze.


    Wang Su was actually in the court!


    Jiang Qingshou immediately understood why Wang Hai had summoned him.


    The veins on his forehead bulged. He gritted his teeth while his eyes turned red.


    Wang Su was not poisoned into a mute. Not only was she not mute, she even knelt in the court and told everyone that she was the mastermind. If not, Wang Hai would not have let the bailiff forcefully bring her here.


    It was laughable that on the way here, he had thought that he had been discovered selling dead pork in the past and was trying to figure out a connection to make some compensation.


    In the court, Wang Hai didn''t speak, while Jin Weiwei just stood there quietly. She wanted to see what tricks Jiang Qingshu could play next to justify herself.


    The air in the lobby seemed to have frozen over. Jiang Qingshou clenched his fists tightly. His heart was like a thunderbolt, making his chest hurt.


    With his expression, even with his head down, Wang Hai could tell that something was wrong. He believed a little more in what Wang Su said.


    "It seems like Jiang Qingshu has understood why this official sent people to arrest you." Wang Hai slowly said.


    Jiang Qingshu tried to think of a solution as he smiled and pretended to be confused, "My lord, why can''t I understand what you''re talking about?"


    "It doesn''t matter if you don''t understand. I can explain in detail to you." Wang Hai grinned. "Your helper, Wang Su, said that on the day of Jin Weiwei''s opening, you ordered him to use despicable means to frame Jin Weiwei, using poison in the lamb, in order to bring Jin Wei''s reputation down. Do you have such a thing?"


    "Nonsense!" Jiang Qingshou pretended to be humiliated as he retorted with a flushed face, "I''m a good citizen. I''ve never committed a crime in my three generations. I''ve been raised by my family, so how could I do such a malicious thing?"


    Wang Hai didn''t know whether Jiang Qingshu had committed a crime or not, but when he looked at Grand Master, the blue-robed Grand Master immediately whispered something in his ear.


    When Wang Hai looked at Jiang Qingshu again, his eyes were filled with curiosity. This guy was really a good citizen from the past three generations. Not only that, but his great-grandfather had also saved his life while he was still alive.


    Considering Jiang Qingshu''s family background, Wang Hai decided to adjust the angle of his case. As a county magistrate, even if he was emotionally biased towards Jiang Qingshu''s guilt, the case should still be investigated by the guests and evidence. Wang Su''s mouth alone was not enough to end the case.


    Jin Weiwei harrumphed in silence. Jiang Qingshu''s grandfather was a man of integrity. How could he have raised such a beast with a human''s face like Jiang Qingshu?


    "Cough!" Wang Hai coughed, "If you say that you didn''t do it, then why did Wang Su insist that you were the mastermind?"


    Jiang Qingshu bowed, raised his head and pointed at Wang Su, "In reply to my lord, Wang Su usually doesn''t have good intentions. A few days ago, she said that she was short of money and asked me to advance her wages once again, but I was unwilling. I believe that because of this, she took this opportunity to retaliate against me!"


    Jiang Qingshou was obviously trying to stall for time. Jin Weiwei could tell by now that Jiang Qing was probably desperately trying to think of a way to escape.


    He wanted to escape, but she, Jin Weiwei, would not allow it!


    According to Jiang Qingshou, Wang Su was taking her revenge on him.


    However, Wang Hai knew that Jiang Qingshu was lying. If Wang Su was such a vindictive villain, then he should have given her to Jiang Qingshu the first time he confronted Jin Weiwei.


    That was because he was the other party''s helper and had worked in the Jiang family for many years. It would not be suspicious for him to say that he had obeyed Jiang Qingshou''s orders to do such a foolish thing.


    Wang Hai told him everything, and Jiang Qingshou said boldly, "This is the first time he hasn''t tried to take revenge on me. He must have been too flustered and forgotten about it."


    Wang Hai choked.


    Wang Su panicked and shouted in excitement, "Jiang Qingshu, you''re talking nonsense ¡­"


    Unexpectedly, Jin Weiwei pressed down on his shoulder. Wang Su turned her head and smiled at her, "Let me handle the rest."


    Withdrawing her hand, Jin Weiwei bowed to Wang Hai. "My lord, would you mind if I asked Jiang Qingshu a few questions?"


    Wang Hai thought of what he had said the last time and was speechless. His heart brightened. That''s right! This girl surnamed Jin is very smart. I might as well have her force Jiang Qingshu out, and this official only needs to make a cold eye at her.


    With that in mind, Wang Hai said with a smile, "This official agrees. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Jiang Qingshu is not allowed to talk back or refuse."


    Jiang Qingshu stared at Jin Weiwei as he gritted his teeth.


    This cheap niece of his was no longer the same as before. He had to be careful.


    Jin Weiwei walked step by step towards Jiang Qingshu. The cold light in her eyes grew stronger with each step, like a sharp knife cutting Jiang Qingshu hard.


    "What do you want to ask? "Hurry up and ask, old ¡­" Just as he was about to swear and say something, he realized Wang Hai was still sitting on top. With a stiff face, he said, "Uncle, my family has a lot of things to do and I need to take care of it myself."


    Is that so? I''m afraid you won''t be able to leave the court today.


    A meaningful smile appeared on Jin Weiwei''s face. "Wang Su said that when he framed me, the mastermind was also there. So, where were you that day?"


    Hearing Jin Weiwei''s words, Wang Hai inwardly exclaimed in admiration. Sure enough, his mind was meticulous and clever. He immediately grasped one of the key points.


    Jiang Qingshou''s face was taut, but his mind was thinking about how he had only brought Wang Su with him when he left in the carriage that day. Others probably didn''t know about it, so he could have said that he was staying at home, but ¡­


    His eyes were filled with gloom. If Jin Weiwei asked him for a witness, what would happen to him?


    "Tell me!" Jin Weiwei didn''t even give him time to think of a countermeasure. She took another step forward and said aggressively, "Are you trying to say that you didn''t go anywhere that day?"


    With a jolt in his heart, Jiang Qingshu said in a hurry, "I went out to relax because the business in the shop wasn''t doing well the other day."

 C112

    "Oh, really?" Jin Weiwei calmly questioned, "Since that''s the case, may I ask where you went to relax? Did anyone see it?"


    At this point, Jiang Qingshou had no time to think, so he could only rely on his intuition to deal with this situation.


    "I went to the temple at the east side of the city."


    Upon hearing the words'' temple of the Great Perception Temple '', a trace of a cold smile immediately flashed across Jin Weiwei''s face.


    The Great Perception Temple could be said to be very famous in Linshui County. It could be considered one of the largest temples in the entire prefectural city.


    The Great Perception Temple was located on the outskirts of the county city, on the hillside of Spirit Mountain, about half a day''s journey away from Linshui County. Normally, the citizens of the county city liked to go to the Great Perception Temple to burn incense and pray for peace.


    Now, however, she smiled.


    Jiang Qingshou said it wasn''t a good idea to go anywhere, but if he had to lie and say that he went to the Dazhi Temple, then he might as well play a small game.


    Jin Weiwei lowered her head and smiled in secret. Then, she raised her head and asked Jiang Qingshu, word for word, "Did you really go to the Dazhi Temple?"


    Jiang Qingshou was stunned.


    His intuition told him that there seemed to be some other meaning behind Jin Weiwei''s words. Could this be a trap?


    However, the county magistrate was still keeping an eye on her. He wasn''t in a good mood, so he could only nod his head. "I just went to the Great Enlightenment Temple. What''s wrong?"


    "Tsk tsk, how should I describe your foolishness?"


    Jin Weiwei''s reaction stunned everyone present, including County Magistrate Wang Hai. Was there something wrong with going to the Great Enlightenment Temple?


    The Great Perception Temple was not only one of the most scenic places in Linshui County, but also one of the most secluded places in the temple. What was this girl surnamed Jin trying to hide? Or was she trying to lie to Jiang Qingshu?


    Wang Hai leaned forward, and all the constables'' attention was completely focused on Jin Weiwei.


    When Jiang Qingshu saw the look on Jin Weiwei''s face, he instinctively felt that something was wrong. His brain was working hard, but he didn''t find anything amiss with what he had just said.


    Don''t panic! This bitch was definitely trying to trick him. She wanted to trick him with her words.


    After muttering to himself several times, Jiang Qingshu calmed himself down. "Jin Weiwei, you''re getting more and more rude. I''m your second uncle after all. How dare you call your elders stupid!"


    Jiang Qingshou snickered as he saw a humongous hat being taken off his head. "Let''s see what you can do then."


    Jin Weiwei was able to see through his intentions at a glance. However, she only chuckled lightly, and her eyes revealed an undisguised look of ridicule. "Do you know what your stupidest point is?"


    Before Jiang Qingshou could reply, she continued, "The stupidest thing you can do is pretend that you''re smart despite being a fool."


    "You!" He had been insulted time and time again because he was an idiot. No matter how good of a character he was, he was going to explode, let alone a hypocrite like Jiang Qingshu. The veins on his forehead throbbed, "You little bastard! Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your father!"


    However, the lesson was false, taking advantage of this opportunity to make Jin Weiwei unable to continue fighting was his real goal.


    A huge fist flew towards Jiang Qingshou, who had a ferocious look on his face.


    Jin Weiwei took several steps back, but she was in no hurry to defend herself. Instead, her eyes were glued to Jiang Qingshu''s hands.


    Those hands were clean, as if there was nothing there.


    This was exactly what Jin Weiwei had expected.


    Wang Hai looked at the fist that was about to land on Jin Weiwei''s face. With an ugly expression, he stood up and shouted, "Stop!"


    The yamen runners scolded the scumbag angrily and rushed out together. However, Jin Weiwei said, "Please hold Jiang Qingshu''s arm."


    The constables were stunned for a moment. Then two of them rushed out and grabbed Jiang Qingshu''s arm.


    Jiang Qingshu''s wishful thinking failed him as he shouted excitedly, "Let me go! I''m going to teach Jin Weiwei how to behave!"


    His shout was filled with enthusiasm, but unfortunately, it was ignored by everyone.


    One of the bailiffs holding him down probably thought that he was too noisy, so he directly took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into his mouth.


    "Miss Jin, what should we do next?" A bailiff with a full beard asked in a rough voice.


    After thanking the two of them, Jin Weiwei turned around to face Wang Hai and bowed. "Sire, I will now unravel the riddle. I hope that you can invite the master of the Great Enlightenment Temple to testify for me."


    Wang Hai also really wanted to know what kind of medicine Jin Weiwei had in her gourd, so he turned around and said to his Grand Master, "You will personally go to the Great Enlightenment Temple and invite Master Kong from the temple."


    If it weren''t for the urgent matters, he wouldn''t have been sent out by Wang Hai. Now, Wang Hai wanted him to go to the Great Enlightenment Temple just to invite a monk to testify.


    Grand Master was surprised, but respectfully replied, "I will go now."


    After the Grand Master left, Wang Hai said to Jin Weiwei, "I''ve already sent out my men. If you can''t say three, four, four, and six, don''t blame me for punishing you."


    When Jin Weiwei heard this, there was no trace of fear on her face. Her gaze fell upon Jiang Qingshu.


    Jiang Qingshou glared at Jin Weiwei with fire in his eyes. His mouth, which was stuffed with bandages, grew wide open as he watched on with his cheeks bulging. He looked extremely ridiculous.


    Jin Weiwei, if I am able to escape today, I, Jiang Qingshu, swear that I will make it so that you will live a life worse than death!


    He could not speak and could only express his hatred with his eyes.


    "It''s a pity that you won''t get the chance. In the future, you can just obediently stay in the prison." Jin Weiwei said silently.


    A smile blossomed from the corner of Jiang Qingshu''s mouth like a beautiful flower petal. To Jiang Qingshu, this smile was simply too eye-catching.


    Jin Weiwei abruptly turned around and said to the magistrate, Wang Hai, "Does Milord still remember what day it was?"


    The case had taken place a few days before, and Wang Hai naturally remembered what day it was, but he didn''t know what day it was, so he shook his head.


    The bailiffs present were also baffled.


    As expected, very few people would care about it. Jin Weiwei faintly smiled and said, "On that day is the Day of Buddha."


    With that said, one of the bailiffs slapped his forehead and said, "Ah!" I remember that day, before I came on duty, I saw my mother suddenly dress up as a Buddhist shrine, and I was wondering at that time, so it was because of the Buddha''s Day. "


    Wang Hai suddenly remembered that his wife had also been whispering something about burning incense to Buddha that day.


    "But so what? What''s that got to do with it? " Wang Hai asked.

 C113

    Wang Su, who had been kneeling on the ground this entire time, was the clearest. This was because her family, regardless of whether it was her parents or sisters, all believed in the Buddha.


    "The sinners know! On the day of the Buddha''s Birthday, all the monks in the temple had to participate in Dharma events or receive pilgrims. If Jiang Qingshu really went to the Dazhi Temple, there would definitely be a monk who would see it! " Wang Su said quickly.


    Wang Hai and the other bailiffs were suddenly enlightened.


    However, Jin Weiwei shook her head and said, "That''s true, but that''s not what I want to say."


    Everyone looked at her again.


    "The Dazhi Temple has requested for Guan Yin to become famous, so very few people know about it. Every year on the day of the Buddha''s Day, the Dazhi Temple will use the best locust forest, cinnabar, and buddhist charms to carve on the palms of every visitor ¡­" Jin Weiwei walked to Jiang Qingshu''s side as she spoke.


    Jiang Qingshou''s pupils dilated. He understood Jin Weiwei''s true purpose now, so he clenched his fists tightly.


    Jin Weiwei looked at him coldly, then suddenly grabbed his fist and broke it open. She was born with extraordinary strength, so it didn''t take much effort for her to break it open.


    Raising her voice, Jin Weiwei shouted loudly, "But everyone, please look. His palm has nothing!"


    Wang Hai walked down to Jin Weiwei''s side. When he looked at Jiang Qingshu again, his face was already gloomy.


    "Jiang Qingshou, what else do you have to say?" Wang Hai asked.


    Jiang Qingshu was so anxious that he almost went crazy. He wanted to shout and argue, but his mouth was blocked by a handkerchief. He could only let out a stammering sound.


    A bailiff took the words out of his mouth.


    Jiang Qingshu quickly shouted, "Sire, I did go to the Heaven''s Enlightenment Temple to clear my mind. The one on my hand had a Buddhist title drawn on it. It''s just that I washed it off when I returned!"


    It was just cinnabar. Although it was not easy to wash it off, it was not impossible. Wang Hai muttered to himself.


    However, Jin Weiwei suddenly laughed. Her laughter was crisp and clear, and her entire person was lively and lively like a flower that had just bloomed.


    This bell-like laughter baffled everyone. They didn''t know what was going on with her.


    "Jin girl, what are you laughing about?" Wang Hai asked in bewilderment. This case had come to a dead end again. What was there to be happy about?


    "Of course I''m going to laugh ¡­" Jin Weiwei''s breathing became unstable from laughing. She took a deep breath and revealed the final mystery: "Because ¡­" What I said before was all false! "


    Ah!" The crowd burst into an uproar.


    Jin Weiwei continued, "The Great Enlightenment Temple only needs to hold Buddha''s Birthday every year. It does hold Buddha''s Birthday and events, but it doesn''t have the tradition of drawing Buddhist names on the hands of pilgrims."


    So it was like this!


    "I was wondering! "My mother believes in Buddha. Why have I never heard her mention drawing buddhist names on her hands?" Not long ago, he mentioned that he saw his mother decorating the Buddhist shrine.


    He had truly been tricked by this little girl! Wang Hai laughed involuntarily.


    "Jiang Qingshou, what else do you have to say?" Jin Weiwei stared at Jiang Qingshu, disdain and arrogance filling the corners of her eyes.


    Jiang Qingshu was so agitated that he lost all of his rationality. He tried to defend himself, "My lord, I was wrong. There was no monk in the temple who used to paint the buddhist charms on my hands!"


    To openly change his words, and even to the court, was Wang Hai treating him as a fool? Or did he think that he, Wang Hai, was just a county magistrate who could be casually toyed with?


    Wang Hai looked at Jiang Qingshu angrily.


    Wiping the tears from her eyes, she said, "Look at this, what did I say just now? Jiang Qingshu is a complete fool, without a doubt. Otherwise, why would you believe me when I say something like that?"


    When everyone heard this, they were once again stunned. Following that, they began to guess in a low voice: "Miss Jin, could it be that what you said just now was the truth?"


    "Could it be that on the Buddha''s Day, the Dazhi Temple was drawing Buddhist names on the hands of pilgrims?"


    Jin Weiwei didn''t answer, but looked at Jiang Qingshu with a faint smile.


    Wang Hai already knew the answer even without Jin Weiwei''s answer. It didn''t matter whether or not the Dazhi Temple was in the hands of every pilgrim. What mattered was that Jiang Qingshu had fallen into a trap.


    Jin Weiwei walked in a circle around Jiang Qingshu and whispered into his ear, "My good second uncle, what do you think?" Is the Temple of Great Consciousness going to paint Buddhist names on Buddha''s Day? "


    Jiang Qing Shou''s face was ashen, and his lips were trembling.


    Not long after, a bailiff and a thin middle-aged monk dressed in monastic robes stood outside the door of the court.


    "Milord, Master Kong has invited us." The bailiff cupped his fists and said.


    Wang Hai looked at Jiang Qingshu, who was trembling. His eyes were filled with disgust. He flung his sleeves and sat back down. "Then, let Master Kong give us the final answer."


    "Empty!" Wang Hai looked at the bald monk and shouted seriously.


    He then walked into the court with his hands clasped together and calmly said, "This humble one is here!"


    "I ask you, will the Dazhi Temple on the Day of Buddha be in the hands of any pilgrims who come to enjoy the incense and use vermilion sand to paint their Buddhist names?" Wang Hai asked.


    With half-lowered eyes and a solemn expression on his face, he said, "Indeed!"


    "Impossible!" After the empty words left his mouth, Jiang Qingshou seemed to have gone insane as he pounced forward, "I, Jiang Qing Shou have lived in Lishui County for over 40 years, why have I never heard of this person?"


    He stood there quietly, his figure as loose as a pine tree. He raised his head, and with a calm expression, he said, "Benefactor, I never use my words against an outsider!"


    Jiang Qingshu was still unwilling to give up as he continued to roar, "You and that slut are in cahoots! You two have teamed up to deceive me! I will show you! "


    "Shut up!" "Jiang Qingshu, are you still stubborn?!"


    Wang Hai was extremely detestable for him for still not admitting his mistake and not repenting even at this stage. With a darkened face, he picked up the wood in his hand and beat it with "pa pa".


    After waking up Jiang Qing Shou, he realized that he had lost control of himself and knelt down while trembling. He shouted, "My lord, I have been wronged! "My ancestors were good people for three generations, how could I ¡­"


    That''s right! The three generations of ancestors were good people, but the future generations were a bastard! Jin Weiwei thought silently.


    "Shut up, you still have the face to mention your own ancestors!?" You have wasted the name of your ancestors! " Wang Hai was truly disgusted. He angrily shouted, "Block that mouth of his for me!"


    The bailiffs had long since disliked Jiang Qingshu, yet he dared to roar at him like a beast. They could not wait to step forward and stuff a cloth into his mouth.


    A sour taste filled his mouth, and Jiang Qingshu reached out to grab it. The next second, he was pressed to the ground by the bailiff.


    "Woo woo!" He rolled his eyes in pain.

 C114

    Seeing that the time was almost up, Jin Weiwei took small steps to the front of Wang Hai and respectfully greeted him, "Sir, how do you plan to sentence me? If he is punished, then this humble girl will be worried that he will take revenge in the future. "


    Wang Hai calmed his emotions and smiled at Jin Weiwei, "Don''t worry, a person who doesn''t know how to repent with such malevolent thoughts must be sentenced to a severe punishment. Everyone listen to my orders, Jiang Qing Shou is guilty of committing heinous acts, and he has committed all sorts of heinous crimes. Today, he has been sentenced to three years'' imprisonment. After being released from prison, he has been sent to the border guard."


    Three years in prison was nothing to be afraid of. What was even more frightening was that after getting out, he would have to be sent to the border to build a wall.


    Jiang Qingshou''s actions had been too harsh.


    But no one at the scene sympathized with him. He was the one who got what he deserved, so it was no wonder that he got what he deserved.


    Only Qi Kong, who had been silent all this time, couldn''t help but let out a sigh.


    When Jiang Qingshu, who had gone mad, heard this, he felt like he was grabbing onto a lifesaver. He used all his strength to shake off the yamen runner and tumbled to the ground. He grabbed the rag in his mouth and pleaded, "Master, please save me! Please save me! "


    Seeing Jiang Qingshu''s pitiful look, Kong Qing-jie could not help but ask, "Isn''t your judgement a bit too harsh? Buddha Clouds: The heavens have the right to live, why not ¡­ "


    He could be considered a high monk, and had a certain reputation in Lin Shui county.


    Wang Hai hesitated. He didn''t want to end up with a cruel reputation.


    Jin Weiwei, who had been looking at Wang Hai, noticed the hesitation on his face. She turned around and said to the sky, "Great Master, you''re wrong! "Didn''t you hear about Mr. Dongguo, the wolf, the poisonous snake, and the farmer? Master now feels pity for him and wants to let this Jiang Qingshu go. Who would have known that not only would he not show gratitude in the future, he would even continue to harm others."


    He was about to speak when Jin Weiwei spoke again, "What will happen to the man who was murdered by Jiang Qingshu? To seek justice from Jiang Qingshou, or from you, Master Kong? "


    If what Jin Weiwei said was true, then it meant karma. As an outsider, how could he be affected by karma? Moreover, the bailiff had already told him about the feud between Jiang Qingshu and Jin Weiwei on the way here.


    After some thought, he sighed and said, "Amitabha!"


    Lowering his head, he advised in a compassionate and solemn manner, "Benefactor Jiang, there must be a reason behind this. The evil fruit today will be treated as atonement. When the time is right, you can return to being a human."


    These words caused Jiang Qingshou to lose all hope. He staggered to his feet and laughed crazily: "Redemption? F * ck your mother, you are just pretending to be merciful! "What mistake did laozi have to go to jail!?"


    His body shook as he saw Jin Weiwei, and he rushed towards her. The bailiff hurriedly held him down again.


    Jiang Qingshu grinned with his white teeth as he glared at Jin Weiwei. "Jin Weiwei, you bitch. You better pray that I''ll never come back, or I''ll make you pay for everything that happened today!"


    Do you think this county magistrate is a dead man?


    Wang Haiteng stood up and took a few steps over. He even threw away the scholarly demeanor. "Throw this disgusting thing into my prison. Don''t dirty my court!"


    The bailiff hurriedly dragged Jiang Qingshu away.


    Jiang Qing Shou glared at Jin Weiwei fiercely, as if he was a wolf that hadn''t eaten a human in months.


    "Jiang Qingshu, I, Jin Weiwei, am waiting for you to come back for revenge, if you can still survive the onerous labour of the border guards."


    When he heard this, his expression changed again. On his seemingly merciful face, there was a hint of disagreement. However, he did not say anything more after all.


    He was from the outside world, and the world of mortals was merely a passing cloud to him.


    "Sir, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave." He clasped his hands together and said.


    Wang Hai stroked his beard and politely said, "Master Kong, you can leave now."


    He turned around and ordered a bailiff, "Send our master back to the Great Enlightenment Temple."


    He thought of the buddhist beads, bowed, and left.


    Wang Hai was also a bit tired. When the court sentenced Wang Susu and Weiwei to 10 taels of silver for them to be released from prison, he left as well.


    Since the county magistrate had declared that the court was adjourned, there was no need for the yamen runners to remain here any longer. One of the bailiffs unshackled her and led her brothers away.


    At this moment, only Wang Su and Jin Weiwei were left in the court. Compared to the bustle from before, it was quiet at this moment, making the court seem empty ¡­


    Jin Weiwei walked to Wang Su''s side and looked at the righteous plaque in front of her. She asked indifferently, "Why did you suddenly repent and even recognize Jiang Qingshu?"


    Hearing this, Wang Su was extremely shocked. She blurted out, "You actually don''t know about this?"


    There was something wrong with those words. Jin Weiwei turned her head and looked at him, "What do you mean? What should I know? "


    Wang Su didn''t understand why little rich kid didn''t tell Jin Weiwei what happened last night. She stood up with difficulty and lowered her head in silence for a moment.


    "About that, you should go back and ask your husband. It''s more appropriate." After saying that, he turned around and limped out.


    Why ask little rich son, what does this have to do with little rich son? Jin Weiwei stared at his back, deep in thought.


    Walking to the doorstep, Wang Su paused, "I will compensate you with that ten taels of silver as soon as possible."


    Jin Weiwei waved her hand. "No need. Leave ten taels of silver to serve your family''s parents."


    With that, she silently walked past Wang Su without looking back.


    A warm tear rolled down Wang Su''s dusty face. He didn''t say anything as he deeply bowed towards Jin Weiwei''s figure.


    Thank you for letting me go. I, Wang Su, swear that from now on, I will never harm anyone again.


    Jin Weiwei didn''t know about Wang Susu''s inner thoughts. Now that she had solved Jiang Qingshu''s shxt, she felt a lot more relaxed. Things should go smoothly in the future, right?


    When she thought of this, the image of Cheng Yuan''s plump figure appeared in her mind. She had just felt relaxed and her heart immediately felt heavy. Jiang Qingshu had been taken care of, but there was still a pervert behind him. Jin Wei looked at the sunny sky and the scorching sun and let out a long breath.


    On the other side, Jin Weiwei was worried that Cheng Yuan might attack at any moment. All of the Cheng Family''s elders were gathered there, the Cheng Family''s Old Master, Cheng Yu''s father, Cheng Feng, as well as the two branch family heads, Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu.

 C115

    Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu were both over fifty years old, almost ten years older than Cheng Yuan''s father, Cheng Feng.


    Cheng Yuan sat beside the Old Master, staring at Wang Mu kneeling in the middle of the hall.


    "Young Master Yuan, is what Wang Mu said true? Did you really squander the profits from Cheng''s restaurant on Changning Street for a whore? Furthermore, they have to be pawned? " The one who asked was Cheng Kui.


    Although he looked like a branch family head, his eyes were filled with unwillingness. More importantly, he owned a family, had direct descendants and branch family members, and had invested money into the management of the branch family for generations to come.


    Cheng Yuan withdrew his gaze and did not utter a word. His fat face was full of arrogance. "What right do you have to question me, a side branch?"


    "What kind of attitude is this?!" Cheng Kui glared at him, clenching his hands on the back of his chair. He usually hated people using the word ''side'' the most.


    Cheng Hu was also a side branch and could not help but say, "What Young Master Yuan said is not right. No matter what, this family business is part of our side branch. Why can''t we go over it?"


    Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrows, his fat face showed his ferocity, and he choked loudly, "Part of you? "What a joke. My family''s businesses are naturally our direct line of business. Every year, I''ll give you some bonuses. It''s all very generous of you."


    These words were like the reverse scale of pulling out a dragon. Cheng Kui was trembling with rage.


    Cheng Hu''s image as a good man almost crumbled.


    The Old Master was well aware of Cheng Kui''s character. He was afraid that Cheng Kui would punish him, so he hit the ground with his walking stick just in time. "All of you shut up. What a mess this is."


    How big a deal is it?


    Cheng Kui could no longer hold back his temper. "Big brother, you can''t say that. Although we have a direct branch of the family, we have been united for almost a hundred years. Regardless of the major events, we have always discussed them. To use a restaurant as a pawnbroker, you don''t even put your family and elders in your eyes at all. Is this the property of a family owned by him, Cheng Yuan?


    "That''s right, big brother. If all the disciples of a well-established family were like Young Master Yuan, then wouldn''t the family''s assets have all been destroyed long ago?" Cheng Hu cheered Cheng Kui on. His tone and expression were kind, as if he was a good person.


    These two old bastards!


    Cheng Yuan gritted his teeth. Sooner or later, when he took over the family business, he would drive both of them out.


    Although they were branch family heads, their words naturally carried weight. This was Cheng Yuan''s fault. Even if the Old Master wanted to side with him, he could not do so without any qualms. He could only reply, "Cheng Yuan is just a child, you guys think too much too."


    However, both Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu''s face were filled with disapproval. It was one thing for Cheng Yuan to make a mistake, but it was fine for them to give the Old Master some face, but this Cheng Yuan was too arrogant. If they didn''t let him be punished, the two of them wouldn''t be able to take this lying down.


    No matter what, he had to let this brat know how high the heavens were and how deep the earth was!


    The Old Master was so smart, how could he not see through Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu''s thoughts?


    Thus, the Old Master looked towards his only son, Cheng Feng. "Feng''er, what do you think about this matter?"


    If it was really according to Cheng Feng''s thoughts, then he would definitely punish Cheng Yuan. From the way he taught Cheng Yu, it could be seen that he had always walked the path of orthodox scholars.


    Unfortunately, both Cheng Feng and Cheng Yu owed him back then.


    He let out a long sigh, stood up, clasped his hands, and bowed towards Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu. "Uncle Kui, Uncle Hu, your nephew has an idea on this matter."


    This action of Cheng Feng made the two of them feel much more comfortable.


    Although Cheng Feng didn''t really care about the family''s business, nor did he ask about the daily knowledge of the family and tea, he had a son who was famous for being a business genius. It could be said that the fact that his family''s business was flourishing today was all because of Cheng Yu.


    Cheng Yu and his son''s status in the clan was not lower than the Old Master.


    Coughing lightly, Cheng Kui stood up and gave Cheng Yu a hand. "My good nephew, why are you so courteous with uncle. If you have any ideas, just say them!"


    As he said this, they knew in their hearts that if they wanted to punish Cheng Yuan, they wouldn''t be able to do so.


    This old thing, Cheng Hui, was truly cunning. He knew that the two of them weren''t afraid of him, and every time Cheng Yuan got into trouble, Cheng Feng or Cheng Yu would either step in.


    "Then nephew will say it." Cheng Feng straightened his body and cupped his hands towards Cheng Kui and Wang Lin, "Cheng Yuan is indeed wrong about this, but father is right. After all, he is not yet married, and his temperament is unstable, so we elders shouldn''t be too fussy about it. However, it''s wrong for us to be wrong. We still need to punish him."


    Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu nodded. They were both the sons of this old thing, Cheng Hui, but Cheng Feng''s way of speaking made them feel comfortable.


    Cheng Feng observed the situation and asked in a pleading tone, "Uncles, look, shut Cheng Yuan up in the ancestral hall and let him reflect on it for three days. During these three days, he can only drink water to eat. What do you think?"


    It was midsummer right now, and the weather was frighteningly hot. Cheng''s ancestral hall was set up outside the city, so without shelter, it would be even hotter around the area. If Cheng Yuan was sent inside for three whole days, he would only be able to drink water.


    Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu were extremely satisfied with this punishment. Although they couldn''t take away the rights to control the industry from Cheng Yuan, they felt comfortable letting this arrogant kid suffer.


    "Good!" I shall do as you say! " Cheng Kui clapped his hands and said.


    Cheng Hu had always been the only one who followed his lead. As the branch family members, they naturally had to stick together and say, "If Big Brother Kui doesn''t object, then so will I."


    "That''s good." Cheng Feng smiled and naturally revealed a sense of elegance.


    The Old Master heard this and did not object. Only Cheng Yuan''s eyes turned red. Sending him to the ancestral hall in this kind of weather, wasn''t that the same as asking him to suffer a living punishment?


    "I won''t go to the ancestral hall!" Don''t even think about it! " Cheng Yuan hurriedly stood up and shouted at Cheng Feng with an ashen face, "If you want to go, go by yourself. What right do you have to let me go?!"


    "On what basis? If you make a mistake, you have to go to the ancestral hall and reflect on it! " Cheng Feng did not even blink as he looked at the servants on the left and right. He ordered, "Bring Young Master Yuan to the ancestral hall right now."


    If they offended Cheng Yuan, they would at most receive a beating and at most go to the manor themselves. But if they offended Cheng Feng, it would be tantamount to offending Cheng Yu, and at that time, let alone going to the manor, they might not even know whether or not they would be able to keep their family alive.


    Therefore, they didn''t dare to hesitate and decisively dragged Cheng Yuan out.

 C116

    Cheng Yuan might be fat and had some skills, but he was not the type of person who didn''t have time. With three or four people surrounding him, he would definitely lose no matter how strong he was.


    Unable to break free no matter what, Cheng Yuan flew into a rage out of embarrassment. "Cheng Feng, you dare to treat me like this. Have you forgotten what happened that year ¡­"


    Seeing that Cheng Yuan was going to mention what happened that year, Cheng Feng was shocked.


    That year? What happened back then? Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu were at a loss.


    Wang Mu, who had been feigning death in the middle of the hall, also quietly raised his head.


    The Old Master took up the cup and smashed it on the ground. With a crisp ''bang'', he interrupted Cheng Yuan''s words.


    Cheng Yuan snapped out of his rage and turned around, only to see his grandfather, who had always doted on him, staring at him angrily.


    Panicking, he ran to Cheng Hui and kneeled on the ground. "Grandfather, Grandfather, don''t be angry. I was wrong, I really was wrong. I shouldn''t have mentioned what happened back then ¡­"


    "Shut up!" Cheng Hui was infuriated as he lifted his head to suppress his emotions.


    Cheng Hui usually did not throw a tantrum, as he had never been this agitated in his life before. Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu looked at him with fear in their hearts. Cheng Kui gathered up his courage and asked, "Big Brother, what''s wrong?"


    Panting heavily, Cheng Hui waved his hands and said, "I''m tired. My two brothers, please go out."


    Since Cheng Hui had spoken, the two of them did not dare to stay any longer. They looked at each other and walked out together.


    After they had disappeared, Cheng Feng said to Wang Mu in the middle of the hall, "You can leave as well. I will tell Cheng Yu about what you did today."


    Wang Mu was still silently thinking about what had happened in the past, and upon hearing Cheng Feng''s words, he was immediately shocked and frightened. He wanted to beg Cheng Feng not to tell the Young Master about this, but he was well aware of his temper.


    When Cheng Feng and Cheng Yuan were the only ones left in the room, Cheng Hui could no longer hold on and sat down on a chair. The wrinkles on his previously spirited face were now extremely eye-catching.


    What happened that year was a taboo. He had been forcing himself to forget it all these years, and he had never allowed Cheng Feng and Cheng Yu to mention it.


    His son, his poor Cheng Bao!


    Dad, I''m so sorry!


    Thinking of Cheng Bao, the Old Master''s pair of eyes that had grown murkier with the passage of time began to fill with tears.


    "Grandfather, Grandfather, don''t be angry anymore. Yuan''er won''t dare ¡­" Cheng Yuan was not afraid of anyone in this family, but he was most afraid of Cheng Hui, because he knew that only Cheng Hui genuinely loved and protected him.


    Thinking about Cheng Bao, Cheng Hui''s heart softened. He used a pair of big hands full of age spots and pulled Cheng Yuan up. "Forget it, forget it. No matter what, you are not allowed to talk about what happened that year. Do you understand?"


    Cheng Yuan nodded his head obediently and carefully glanced at the Old Master''s face. Seeing that he was no longer angry, he complained, "The reason I made a slip of the tongue just now was because Cheng Feng wanted to send my grandson to the ancestral hall for suffering. You know that I am most afraid of heat."


    Logically speaking, Cheng Feng was Cheng Bao''s younger brother, so he was Cheng Yuan''s uncle. However, Cheng Yuan addressed him by his full name, so Cheng Ye and Cheng Feng didn''t feel that anything was amiss with him.


    Old Master Cheng sighed and caressed Cheng Yuan''s head, "Tell me, are you stupid? How could Grandfather bear to have Cheng Feng send you to the ancestral hall to suffer?"


    "Then ¡­" Cheng Yuan''s chubby face squeezed together. He looked very funny, but in the Old Master''s eyes, he looked cute.


    "Isn''t there another manor near the Cheng family''s ancestral hall?" Old Master Cheng reminded.


    Cheng Yuan immediately remembered that there was indeed a manor called Blue Willow Farm. It was a famous summer resort, with many fruits and fruits in the middle of summer.


    Not far from the back of the farm was a small stream. Fishing and swimming during leisure time was the most convenient option.


    The Old Master and the rest said that they would send Cheng Yuan to the ancestral hall, but in reality, they were just changing the pillars and sending him to the Blue Willow Farm.


    After he understood, Cheng Yuan grabbed the Old Master''s arm, twisted his body, and said coquettishly, "Grandfather really loves me the most. He can''t bear to see me suffer."


    However, he didn''t mention anything about how he misunderstood Cheng Feng.


    After the storm, the Cheng family returned to peace. When Cheng Feng left the main hall, he immediately sent someone to inform Cheng Yu about the farce that had occurred today.


    Cheng Yuan sat in the carriage. On the surface, he was going to the ancestral hall to receive punishment, but in reality, he was going to the Blue Willow Farm to enjoy himself.


    As the horse carriage sped along the dirt road, Cheng Yuan hummed a small tune in glee. In his mind, he couldn''t help but think of the beautiful young man with a picturesque appearance whom he had seen in front of his restaurant.


    It was truly beautiful. How could there be such a handsome man in this world? It was as if an immortal lord had descended to the mortal world. It was unknown just what sort of taste this immortal lord had.


    Just as he was about to attack his heart, outside the carriage, his trusted servant, Yao Shunzi, suddenly opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "Young Noble, I think today''s matter was ordered by Young Noble Cheng Yu. Think about it, a mere bodyguard like Wang Mu wouldn''t have the guts to go against Young Noble."


    Cheng Yuan was initially unhappy with the interruption, but when he understood the meaning behind Yao Shunzi''s words, he immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage''s curtain and asked, "What do you mean ¡­?" The reason why Cheng Yu hid this matter is so that he can take advantage of the presence of the other two old bastards.


    The manservant Yao Shunzi hurriedly covered Cheng Yuan''s mouth with his hand. He nervously looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him before he heaved a sigh of relief.


    When he looked up and realized that Cheng Yuan''s expression was not good, he immediately let go of his hand and smiled, "Young master, please don''t be angry, I''m just afraid that the wall has ears. Many of these servants are subordinates of Lord Cheng Feng, if what we said just now were to reach his ears, you would definitely be safe and sound, but this servant will be in trouble, even if you don''t die, you''ll be crippled."


    "Look at your cowardly appearance!" Cheng Yuan looked around disapprovingly, glancing at the servant in front and snorting coldly, "They don''t have the guts to gossip like that!"


    Yao Shunzi didn''t think so, but since he wasn''t the type of person to ask for a beating himself, he winked and flattered, "That''s right!" Young Master Yuan, you are normally so powerful, how could these lowly slaves dare to go against you? "


    Cheng Yuan smiled complacently as he beckoned for Yao Shunzi to enter the carriage.


    "Young master." Yao Shunzi climbed into the carriage and obediently squatted in a corner.


    Cheng Yuan looked at him with a dark expression on his face, "Although I have a deep relationship with brother Cheng Yu, but the wealth of my family is monstrous, the gold and silver of my family is filled to the brim, my family business is so tempting, and in order to become a family with wealth, it is not surprising that he would attack me. But I, Cheng Yuan, am not a soft persimmon.


    He really did not care about what Cheng Yuan said. With his own intelligence, it would not take him many years to create a new business kingdom, and there was no need to covet for a new family business.


    Unfortunately, Cheng Yuan did not know! He himself was a vile person who coveted wealth and power. He felt that everyone was like him.

 C117

    The night sky was always clear and high in the middle of summer. Stars were floating in the middle of the river, and the silver light was so resplendent that it was intoxicating.


    Under the starlight, Cheng Yu and Zheng Xueyu sat on a stone bench in the bamboo forest. They admired the moon, looked at the stars, and tasted the fine wine.


    "It''s been a while since I''ve been so relaxed." Cheng Yu put the sweet osmanthus wine into his mouth with a smile on his face.


    For the past few months, for the College Entrance Examination, Zheng had been tense and never relaxed. Fortunately, he got good grades in the end and now drank wine under the moon with ease. He also felt very unbridled.


    It was just that after drinking a cup of wine, he thought of home, and a tinge of worry appeared on his face.


    "Are you still worried about your family?" Cheng Yu could tell at a glance.


    Sighing, Zheng put down the cup and said, "Yesterday, after you told me about my second aunt, I wrote a letter to my father. My father already knows that my second aunt was abandoned, but he doesn''t know anything else. What I''m worried about is ¡­"


    "You don''t have to worry." Cheng Yu leisurely poured a glass of wine, put it on his nose and sniffed, "If your second aunt, Jin Xiaodie, comes to find me again, of course, I know what I''m doing."


    Zheng stopped after hearing that.


    The moonlight shining on Cheng Yu''s face made him look even more handsome. He said with a smile, "I expected you to be indecisive and indecisive, so I have already come up with a plan. You don''t have to bother about this matter, it won''t be difficult for you to continue."


    Hearing his words, Zheng asked with a frown, "What are your plans?"


    Cheng Yu revealed an ambiguous smile.


    At this moment, the errand boy suddenly ran over, out of breath. He stopped in front of Cheng Yu and held his waist as he gasped for air.


    "What''s wrong with you?" What does it look like? " Cheng Yu frowned and stood up.


    The errand boy felt slightly better, and hurriedly said, "Young master, it''s bad! The Old Master sent someone to interrogate your subordinate on how you discipline him, and also sent word that if you can''t even discipline your own follower well, then don''t meddle in your family''s business in the future, and also don''t need to take the exam for your name.


    What happened? Why was he so strict? The meaning of these words was close to being harsh.


    Cheng Yu could almost imagine the expression and tone of Cheng Feng when he said this, but what he couldn''t understand was that his father had always advocated elegance, so why did he suddenly become so mean?


    "What is going on?" Cheng Yu asked.


    The errand boy shook his head, indicating that he was also confused. He endured the pain from the intense exercise and said, "The messenger didn''t tell me what happened, only that he was carrying a letter from Master, but he refused to give it to me. He insisted on handing it to you personally."


    The bookkeeper Wang had always been by his side ever since Cheng Yu started his studies. Cheng Feng knew this, so there was no reason for him to not trust Wang Yuan.


    Unless... Something big had really happened, which was why his father was so careful!


    Cheng Yu frowned with a serious expression.


    Zheng was on good terms with him and knew that he was elegant and easy-going. Something extraordinary must have happened to his expression. He said, "Brother Cheng, go back and check. Don''t make the messenger wait."


    Cheng Yu nodded and no longer said anything more. She led Wang Yuan and quickly returned.


    Arriving at his own small courtyard, he saw a guard standing in the courtyard. The man in black had short sleeves and a bulging upper body. It seemed that he was slightly out of tune with his lower body as he carried a large saber on his broad back.


    The moment Cheng Yu saw the uniform, her pupils immediately constricted. Her father had actually ordered the secret guards of the Cheng family to personally take action, just to pass on the message and deliver the letter!


    What was going on? A rare trace of unease rose in Cheng Yu''s heart.


    As soon as Cheng Yu approached him, he could feel that the guard was using inner force. He turned around and bowed to Cheng Yu, "Young Master Yu, the lord wants me to deliver a letter to you. He also wants you to reply as soon as you have finished reading the letter."


    As he spoke, he took out a bamboo tube and passed it to Cheng Yu.


    Wang Yuan, who was standing behind Cheng Yu, did not know much about the secret guard. He only thought that it was an ordinary guard, but he had heard some rumors about the bamboo tube.


    Rumor had it that whenever a disaster occurred within a family or a major event that threatened the family, they would send someone to spread the news through the bamboo tube. Could this bamboo tube be the kind of bamboo tube that was mentioned in the rumors?


    Wang Yuan curiously stretched his neck, but was blocked by the tyrannical guard. He reached out his hand to push him, but the guard did not move at all.


    At this time, Cheng Yu had already taken out a letter from the bamboo tube and was walking towards the house.


    The errand boy quickly followed. Once again, he was blocked by the guards, causing him to widen his eyes in anger. "What are you doing? Get out of my way. "


    The guard stood there without making a sound, not moving at all.


    The candles in the room burned quietly. In order to be able to read the words on the letter clearly, Cheng Yu had lit up two more lamps. He was standing next to the candles with the letter in his hand.


    Looking at him, the usually gentle and refined face sank.


    Finally, he placed the letter in the candle flame and lit it up, after confirming that it had completely turned into ashes, he quickly walked to the desk and wrote a few lines of words on the white paper. Before the ink had completely dried up, he stuffed the white paper into the bamboo tube and handed it over to the secret guard in the courtyard.


    The secret guard took the bamboo tube, clasped his hands, and left with large strides.


    Half a cup of tea had been blocked by the secret guard, Wang Yuan angrily walked over to Cheng Yu and complained, "Young master, that guard was too rude. I recited your reply, so I wanted to go in and grind the ink for you."


    "Shut up!" Cheng Yu''s gaze was stern, and his body no longer had its usual gentle aura.


    Wang Yuan was startled. The young master was really angry, even if he got reprimanded by the old master, wouldn''t that be enough?


    What was going on?


    He muttered in his heart, but did not dare to say another word.


    Cheng Yu closed his eyes, dispelling the rising and falling emotions in his heart.


    Wang Yuan did not know anything about what happened at home. Just now he was thinking for himself, he should not have gotten angry.


    When he opened his eyes again, Cheng Yu was as gentle as ever.


    "Go!" Get me Wang Mu! " he ordered.


    This guy, Wang Mu, has always been very free. Who knows where he will go, and maybe he won''t even be in the Academy. He pointed at his nose and said, "Young Master, it''s already dark. I''m afraid it''s not easy to find. "


    He raised his head to look at the sky. Cheng Yu had been reminded by Wang Yuan, so he had a clear mind. Wang Mu had made such a big deal, he definitely wouldn''t dare to come back, and since he had the time, it wouldn''t be easy to find him.


    Thus, Cheng Yu called a few more people to go find Wang Mu. Basically, he sent out all of the followers he brought into the academy.

 C118

    All of the followers were searching for Wang Mu in secret. Just as Wang Mu was about to return to the yard, he circled around to the back of the house and silently lay on the roof, watching everyone silently.


    He had only intended for Cheng Yuan to be taught a lesson and not be a burden to the young master, but he had never expected things to turn out like this.


    The Old Master was furious!


    Lord Cheng Feng was also furious!


    This matter was also made known to the two branch Patriarchs.


    What should he do now? Looking at Cheng Yu in the yard, Wang Mu felt conflicted. He wanted to go down and confess his mistake to Cheng Yu, but he was afraid of Cheng Yu''s scoldings. More importantly, he was afraid that his Young Master would kick him out.


    Cheng Yu was no longer in the mood to admire the moon and flowers, and felt irritated after entering the house, so she simply stayed in the courtyard with her hands around her waist, looking at the clear night sky, while her mind wandered back to a long time ago.


    A quarter of an hour passed. Two hours passed, and Cheng Yu still hadn''t moved.


    Wang Mu also did not dare to move on the rooftop, for fear of being discovered by Cheng Yu if he made a sound. However, the more he did not want to be exposed, the more the heavens would not listen to his wishes.


    In the middle of summer, there were a lot of mosquitoes and insects. In the small jade courtyard beside the dense forest, countless mosquitoes found Wang Mu''s figure in the air. They all cried out as they flew to his body and started sucking blood.


    It was good that the time was short. As time passed, Wang Mu couldn''t hold on any longer. He couldn''t help but scratch his head repeatedly. Every time he scratched and scratched, it would inevitably affect one or two tiles.


    Creak Creak Creak * The sound was quite eye-catching in the silent night.


    Cheng Yu turned his head and looked over.


    Wang Mu was so scared that he held his breath, and his itching hands froze.


    Unfortunately, this group of mosquitoes probably felt that enjoying such a feast alone wasn''t enough, so they called for their friends and a group of friends, all of which landed on Wang Mu''s body.


    Wang Mu couldn''t help but feel itchy all over his body. He sat up and tried his best to grab at his surroundings.


    When Cheng Yu heard the sound coming from the rooftop, he knew who it was without even thinking. He said with a dark face, "Come down, how long do you want to hide on the rooftop?"


    Wang Mu disappointedly jumped down and walked over to Cheng Yu with a dejected look. He then shouted, "Young Master!"


    Staring at him coldly, Cheng Yu sarcastically said, "You still know how to be afraid?"


    He threw his sleeves and walked toward the house. "Come in with me!"


    Wang Mu smiled wryly in his heart. The seven foot tall man was like a turtle that had its head lowered as he walked in with small steps.


    As soon as he entered the room, he kneeled down and said in a very frank tone, "Young Master, I was wrong!"


    The candles in the room were lit, and it was only then that Cheng Yu could see that Wang Mu''s body was covered in red bumps from being bitten by mosquitoes.


    He should have stayed on the roof for a long time, or he wouldn''t have been bitten like this.


    After all, they had grown up together. Cheng Yu''s anger could not help but somewhat dissipate.


    "Why are you doing this?" Cheng Yu stared at his shadow swaying in the candle flame.


    Wang Mu knew what Cheng Yu meant. After a moment of silence, he said in a hoarse voice, "Young Master, if I tell you that I did all this for you, would you believe me?"


    Now that things had turned out like this, the young master''s father had always been strict with the young master, so he must have been reprimanded before.


    Even if the young master was good-natured, after suffering such grievances for no reason, he would definitely think that he had some ulterior motive.


    As he thought of this, he felt sad in his heart.


    Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu said without any hesitation, "I believe you."


    Wang Mu suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth. His eyes were brimming with excitement as he shouted, "Young Master!"


    Cheng Yu turned around and refused to look at him, "I believe you won''t harm me, but one yard is one yard, why on earth did you do this?"


    Kneeling on the ground for a few steps, Wang Mu took a deep breath, no longer hiding his thoughts. "Young Master, I''ve been an orphan since I was young. It''s all thanks to you picking me up from the streets that I was able to survive. "So in my heart, young master is my savior, and even more so, my relative ¡­"


    Wang Mu revealed his thoughts as tears welled up in his eyes. "I only hope that Young Master can live a peaceful life, but Young Master Yuan has caused countless disasters since he was young. He has to help him deal with it and even take the blame for him."


    At this point, Wang Mu''s face and voice revealed a clear hatred, "Ever since Young Master took over the clan''s property, Young Master Yuan has become even more unscrupulous. This subordinate has seen for himself that Young Master Yuan is not worthy of being Young Master Yuan.


    Cheng Yu listened silently. It had been ten years, and during these ten years, he had endured everything as far as he could. He was ready to deal with this mess for him at any time. No matter how big of a disaster Cheng Yuan caused or how difficult it was to deal with, he had to calm him down.


    Because his grandfather would only care if Cheng Yuan was wronged or not.


    His father only cared about repaying what he owed.


    No one had ever asked him whether he was tired or not. Even if it was just a sentence.


    Since young, there had not been a single person.


    Since childhood he had to force himself to mature. He had no other choice.


    Wang Mu was right about one thing today, and that was that he was very tired of living. He turned himself into a humble gentleman in front of everyone, and no matter how sad he was, he didn''t dare to leave a single tear. Even if his anger was about to burn him down, he had to treat him gently.


    With each passing year, how could he not be tired? He was alone.


    Cheng Yu''s eyes were burning hot. The liquid that was rolling in his eyes seemed as if it would flow out at any moment along with his sadness.


    "Young master, you are not a scapegoat. Why must you bear all of Young Master Yuan''s sins?" Wang Mu knelt behind Cheng Yu and looked up at the God in his heart.


    Cheng Yu was still standing with her back to him, not reacting at all.


    Wang Mu''s eyes were filled with grief as he continued to speak, "A scourge like Young Master Yuan should have been driven out of his family sooner. If not, Young Master, you would have been implicated by him and lost your life sooner or later!"


    "Shut up!" Cheng Yu turned around, his eyes red.


    "Young master!" Wang Mu saw that Cheng Yu finally responded, but he still wanted to shut himself up. His heart was very sad, and he was very excited, so he asked: "I really don''t understand, why do you want to make yourself live so tiredly? Why do you always have to shoulder everything for Master Yuan? "


    Wang Mu''s tone was quick and forceful, completely ignoring the difference in status between a master and his servant.


    "Because ¡­" Cheng Yu looked at Wang Mu. His great grief almost made him tell everything that had happened all those years ago. However, at the last moment, his reason had stopped him.

 C119

    "Because of what?" Wang Mu''s eyes were wide open as he looked eagerly at his Young Master.


    Cheng Yu shut his mouth and turned around to face Wang Mu. His whole body was filled with an indescribable sadness and sorrow.


    "Forget about this matter, but there must not be a second time. Otherwise, I, Cheng Yu, won''t be able to keep you alive!" Cheng Yu''s voice was filled with fatigue. His slender hands trembled slightly as he said, "Wang Mu, we grew up together, so you should know that I always keep my word. I don''t want to drive you out of my family one day."


    Hearing Cheng Yu''s warning, Wang Mu silently lowered his head and closed his eyes.


    "Yes, Young Noble!" This subordinate will remember, and will not forget in this life. " With that, he stood up and turned to leave.


    The door opened and closed, and Cheng Yu stood alone in the bright candlelight, with only the shadow on the ground to accompany him.


    * *


    A crescent moon shines on the nine prefectures. A few families are happy and a few are sad.


    On the other side, Cheng Yu was unable to calm down due to what had happened today. On the other side, Jin Weiwei had just finished a day''s worth of business and packed her things to go home.


    Because it was only Tao Xiaoqing who was slicing meat for sale this morning, his speed was very slow. This resulted in a crowd of people buying meat around the store in the afternoon. When Jin Weiwei returned to the shop, she quickly gave him a hand. Even so, it wasn''t until nightfall until she finished her work.


    With her stomach still empty, Jin Weiwei said to Tao Xiaoqing, "I''m going to the kitchen to heat up the remaining rice porridge. Today, I''m really tired. Let''s just eat something to cope with it."


    "Alright!" Boss, I''ll listen to you! " Tao Xiaoqing was extremely tired from the day.


    He quickly walked to the kitchen. Jin Weiwei pushed open the wooden door, looked inside, and her eyes immediately lit up.


    What was originally a metal pot filled with porridge was now completely clean. Only ten fingers worth of rice grains were stuck to the pot wall.


    The lid was casually tossed to the side and a used bowl and chopsticks laid on the side.


    In short, the kitchen was a mess! It was like a thief who had come in and looked around.


    Jin Weiwei did not want him to think about it. She knew that this must be Jin Dabao''s doing. She spun around and stormed back to Jin Dabao''s house.


    He kicked open the door and shouted, "Jin Dabao, get the hell out here!"


    Strangely, however, the room was silent.


    When Jin Weiwei walked in, she found that there was no one inside.


    Jin Weiwei thought to herself, "Not good, this old guy couldn''t have stolen her money and gone out to fool around, right?"


    She rushed to her room, and sure enough, it was a mess. The quilts that she had used were thrown on the dirty floor and covered in dust.


    A surge of anger rose from the bottom of her heart. She had put all of her money in the space, but there was still something inside the room.


    Jin Weiwei quickly went to look over the dowry. Sure enough, the jade hairpin that she had placed inside last night had disappeared. It was the hairpin that her original mother had left for her original body.


    "Jin Dabao, I''m not done with you!"


    Jin Weiwei was so angry that she rushed out to welcome the little rich kid. He frowned and locked his gaze onto Jin Weiwei.


    "What''s wrong?"


    At first glance, Jin Weiwei''s room was a mess. It was obvious that someone had entered her room. Needless to say, it was Jin Dabao''s masterpiece.


    "I''m going to find Jin Dabao."


    Then, regardless of Jin Weiwei''s reaction, little Fugui had already disappeared.


    Jin Weiwei had just been angered to the point that she was about to catch fire. By the time she could react, there was no trace of the little rich kid in front of her.


    "Xiaoqing, come with me to find Jin Dabao."


    There were still sparks of fire under the stove. Jin Dabao definitely hadn''t gone far. She wanted to find the person before Jin Dabao sold the hairpin.


    "Yes, boss."


    Tao Xiaoqing let out a sigh. His boss had been extremely unlucky to encounter such a father for eight lifetimes.


    Xiao Fu''e went to the restaurants that Jin Dabao frequented to check. Jin Dabao was rich now, and if he wasn''t drinking, he was here to take advantage of her. Jin Weiwei might not have noticed, but Jin Dabao had come back a few times with rouge powder on his body.


    If it wasn''t a hooker, then it was someone outside.


    There were no signs of Jin Dabao in any of the restaurants, so Xiao Fugui directly headed towards a few big brothels.


    The largest brothel in Lishui County was the Elegant Wind Pavilion. Not only was there a girl inside, but there was also a boy. It was the favorite place for nobles to visit.


    "Aiyo, young master, I can see that you look a little tired, but is this the first time I''ve come to this Elegant Wind Pavilion? Did he want a little beauty or a charming young master? "I have everything here ¡­"


    Mother Gouyu''s voice was as sticky as a piece of dog skin plaster, causing the little rich kid to feel a wave of disgust.


    It was not the mother of the procuress''s fault. The son of a rich family had an aura thousands of miles away from him. His expression was cold and solemn. Wasn''t he just like a big shot?


    "I''m looking for someone."


    After saying that with a frown, little Fugui took out a piece of silver from his bosom and threw it to the procuress, then walked straight in.


    After patrolling around the hall, he found no one with Jin Dabao in their arms. The son of the wealthiest man then went to the second floor. He finally found Jin Dabao in a room near his ears. He was hugging someone ¡­ The boy.


    Xiao Fugui''s eyelids twitched, and he kicked the door open.


    "Who is it!?" How dare you spoil this grandpa ¡­ "Why are you here!"


    Jin Dabao stood up in shock when he saw the man. The boy fell to the ground with a bitter look on his face.


    The little rich kid glanced over and retracted his gaze. This little servant was even prettier than a girl, no wonder Jin Dabao was like this.


    "Hand over the hairpin."


    Little Fugui stretched out his hands. His hands were sharp and straight, white and lean, but broad and powerful.


    Jin Dabao trembled as he rolled his eyes from side to side. "What hairpin? I don''t know!"


    "Is that so?"


    Jin Dabao raised his head with a cold voice, and knelt down in front of the little rich kid. His hands were in a cramp, and he was trapped by the little rich kid.


    The wrenching pain from his wrist caused Jin Dabao''s face to twist.


    "I really don''t know what hairpin it is..." "Ahhh!"


    Before Jin Dabao could finish his sentence, Xiao Fugui exerted force on his hand and the room was filled with shouts like that of a pig being butchered.


    "Hand over the hairpin."


    "I pawned the hairpin!"


    Jin Dabao cried out in pain. There were already many people gathered at the door.


    "Which pawnshop?"


    "Cheng Jia pawn shop!"


    Hearing this, little Fugui let go of Jin Dabao''s hand and directly tore off the silver pouch on Jin Dabao''s waist.


    Unbeknownst to him, an attendant at the entrance sized him up before turning around and running away.


    Little Fugui took a detour to a few taverns and met Jin Weiwei and her husband.


    Jin Weiwei was so angry that her anger almost reached her heart. Upon seeing him, she asked, "Did you find him?"


    "Cheng Jia pawn shop."

 C120

    Jin Weiwei rubbed her reddened eyes, and her gray pupils instantly lit up.


    "Then let''s quickly go to a pawnshop!"


    Although that hairpin wasn''t very precious, it was the only relic her mother had left behind. The memories in her mind told her that this hairpin was very important to her.


    Even though she didn''t have much feelings for the original body''s mother, the original body had never thought of using this hairpin to exchange for food. That was definitely important.


    They soon arrived at the pawnshop. Upon entering, Jin Weiwei asked, "Shopkeeper, has anyone come to pawn a hairpin made from an emerald green tassel?"


    The storekeeper lifted his head and glanced at her. His bean-sized eyes were slightly narrowed. At this moment, there was not even a crack in them.


    "Nope."


    "Then is there any other pawnshops in Linshui County?"


    Jin Weiwei frowned. Half of Lin Shui county''s business routes were already taken by the Cheng family. Jin Dabao shouldn''t be running further away, right?


    "Nope."


    The storekeeper shook his head again. Only then did Jin Weiwei realize that something was wrong. Before she could say anything, the storekeeper glanced at her and impatiently waved his hand to chase her away.


    "If you''re not going to pawn or buy anything, then hurry up and leave. Don''t stop me from doing business."


    "There is only one pawnshop in this city, no one called Jin Dabao has pawned a jade hairpin before? Or could it be that storekeeper, you want to swallow that hairpin? "


    Jin Weiwei immediately became anxious. That hairpin was something the original owner was reluctant to sell, so no matter what, she would take it back.


    "What are you saying!?" My family is one of the richest families in Linshui County. Ridiculous! "I think you''re here to cause trouble. Let''s go!"


    "Hold on."


    Suddenly, Jin Weiwei felt a strong palm holding up the door. She turned around and saw that it was a boy from a rich family. Immediately, she felt more at ease.


    "My daughter, quickly tell your husband to let me go. I am your father!" "Your father!"


    Only now did Jin Weiwei realize that Jin Dabao was in the hands of little Fugui. Jin Dabao''s clothes were already open and there was a red lip mark on his face. He was also emitting the smell of makeup.


    Needless to say, this old man must have gone to whoring!


    "Pfft!" I haven''t settled the score with you yet! You still have the nerve to shout at me?! "


    When he thought about how this old man would take her money to find a brothel girl, he couldn''t help but feel angry.


    Xiao Fugui looked at the shopkeeper and directly picked him up, asking, "Is he here?"


    Jin Dabao couldn''t help but tremble when he saw the expression in the eyes of the little rich kid. He couldn''t even speak properly.


    "Yes, it''s him."


    "Don''t slander me. You''ve never been here before."


    The storekeeper clenched his teeth. He looked at this handsome young man and thought that he was very powerful, but when he thought of the orders from above, he had no choice but to obey.


    "Hey, shopkeeper, why don''t you admit it? I have tickets for your pawnshop!"


    Jin Dabao quickly took out a piece of paper from his pocket with the red mark of Cheng''s pawnshop on it. This time, the shopkeeper''s expression changed.


    "Shopkeeper, this is your fault. If you don''t say it, are you afraid I''ll rob you or something?" Although I, Jin Weiwei, am of a bad temper, I shouldn''t have done such a thing! "


    Jin Weiwei was unable to calm down, and her face was as red as a pig''s liver.


    The storekeeper was momentarily embarrassed. He turned to leave, but little Fugui stopped him with a gloomy expression on his face. His fists were clenched so tightly that ''ka ka'' sounds could be heard. It was a silent threat.


    "My lady, actually, this hairpin was bought by someone before you arrived. I won''t say this because the person who bought it was my boss!"


    Jin Da''s Grimoire was a hobby, it could only be bought after a certain amount of time had passed. However, since his boss Cheng Yuan had taken it, he decided to fool around. Who knew that they would find Jin Da Bao?


    "Boss? Cheng Yu? "


    Jin Weiwei frowned. The hairpin was pretty good, but the style was old. Would that elegant young master like it?


    "Miss is talking about the other owner of the house, our pawnshop is under the management of Young Master Yuan Cheng."


    The shopkeeper''s eyes creased into slits as he continued, "If Miss wants a hairpin, go to the Blue Willow Farm in the eastern suburbs. That''s where the boss has been recently."


    Jin Weiwei and the little rich kid looked at each other, and both saw the unusualness in the other''s eyes. Jin Dabao had come to pawn the hairpin until they found the pawnshop, but it only took four hours at most.


    Jin Weiwei felt a lingering fear as she thought about the eyes that Cheng Yuan had when she was looking at little rich kids in front of the restaurant. When she thought about the eyes that Cheng Yuan had shot at little rich kids in front of the restaurant, Jin Weiwei felt a lingering fear when she thought about that.


    She didn''t dare to think about that scene, so she stopped Fugui and said to the shopkeeper, "Since that''s the case, we won''t disturb you any longer."


    The hairpin was dead, and the human was alive.


    Little Fugui suddenly grabbed her. His eyes were as deep as a spring. Jin Weiwei dragged him out of the pawn shop with all her might.


    "Are you stupid!? Don''t you know what kind of person Cheng Yuan is! Don''t you know what he thinks of you? You''re still pulling me? Isn''t it just a hairpin? If it''s gone, it''s gone! "


    As soon as they left the house, Jin Weiwei scolded the little rich kid so loudly that her eyes turned red.


    "I have an idea."


    Just as Jin Weiwei was about to explode, she heard this sentence. She raised her head and saw that the corner of little rich and rich son''s mouth was slightly curved upwards, and his eyes were faintly rippling with a kind of gentleness.


    He smiled?


    In just a split-second, little Fugui was still as indifferent as before. Jin Weiwei shook her head. Was she seeing things?


    "I have an idea. Let''s go home."


    Ye Zichen rubbed Jin Weiwei''s hair. Although he didn''t have any expression on his face, Jin Weiwei still felt that he was very happy. What was there to be happy about? She just threw a hairpin ¡­


    Jin Weiwei pouted as she thought.


    * *


    The night was as dark as water, and the entire courtyard was very quiet. Only a few frogs could be heard nearby.


    A black shadow flipped onto the roof of Jin Weiwei''s house. The little rich kid carefully lifted the tile and saw Jin Weiwei curled up into a ball on the bed, hugging the blanket tightly like a helpless fawn.


    The corner of his mouth curled up. Perhaps even he didn''t notice the gentleness on his face.


    Putting the tile back, little Fugui''s figure quickly disappeared into the night.


    At the manor in the eastern suburbs.


    The lights in the other houses had all been turned off, and only Cheng Yuan''s room was still lit up. As they got closer, they could still hear the sounds of the bamboo instruments, mixed with the laughter of men and women.


    Xiao Fugui was like a silent black cat as he landed on the roof. He lifted off the tiles and frowned. The place was filled with smoke and a living spring palace was playing out.


    With a flick of his wrist, all the guards and attendants who were guarding the door fell. Xiao Fugui opened a bag of paper and scattered all the medicinal powder within.

 C121

    After a while, the sound of the silk-bamboo instrument could be heard.


    After a while, there was no sound at all.


    The black shadow descended, pushed open the door and entered. The first thing that entered his sight was the naked Cheng Yuan and a group of women kneeling in an extremely strange posture.


    The little rich and noble child did not have the time to pay attention to this. After searching in every direction, he still could not find that hairpin. When he raised his eyes, wasn''t that Cheng Yuan''s clothes lying beside him?


    He picked up a pole and picked up some clothes that were far away. Under a belt, he saw a jade hairpin.


    Xiao Fugui hurriedly picked it up and put it into his bosom. Just as he wanted to leave, he seemed to have thought of something and returned to take away everything that was valuable in the house.


    Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the little rich kid went to the river bank and threw all the things he had on him into the river, leaving behind only the jade hairpin.


    Little Fugui rubbed the moonlight twice to confirm that there was no mistake before leaving.


    The next morning, Jin Weiwei woke up with a heavy heart, wondering if she should go beg Cheng Yu. He and Cheng Yuan belonged to the same family, so this kind of thing should be easier to talk about.


    The distressed Jin Weiwei suddenly bumped into a ''wall''. She rubbed her head and frowned as she looked up into the eyes of the little rich and powerful.


    "Here."


    The eyes shone with a faint light that Jin Weiwei couldn''t understand, but Jin Weiwei''s gaze was completely attracted to the hairpin, so she didn''t notice it at all.


    "It''s really my hairpin!" "You''re too amazing!"


    The next second, Jin Weiwei jumped up in joy. She hugged the little rich kid''s face and kissed him twice. She didn''t even notice that his ears were burning red.


    "Hey, isn''t this hairpin in Cheng Yuan''s hands? How did you get it? "


    Only after the excitement passed did Jin Weiwei react. Cheng Yuan didn''t seem like a good person to talk to. It was impossible for little rich kids to get a hairpin so easily.


    Could it be ¡­ Jin Weiwei''s eyes widened as she pulled little Fugui around in a circle. Only after seeing that there weren''t any wounds on his body did she feel at ease.


    "Speak, where did you get this hairpin?"


    "It was stolen."


    A certain someone spoke with extreme righteousness, but he didn''t know that because of what he said, Jin Weiwei''s entire heart was about to jump out!


    "You ¡­"


    He wanted to teach Xiao Fugui a lesson, but he had no choice but to lower his voice. Both sides had neighbors watching them.


    "It''s fine."


    Grab her finger and poke it at him. A single sentence broke her little mind. Her finger wasn''t smooth, but it also had the tenderness of a little girl.


    Seeing his confident look, Jin Weiwei was stunned. She withdrew her finger. Normally, little rich kids would already have a solution for this. She didn''t know why, but her heart actually felt a lot more at ease.


    "Put it away."


    After saying that, little Fugui had already disappeared from where he was. After a while, Jin Weiwei covered her red face and went back into the house.


    What was she thinking!?


    Cheng Yuan held onto his aching head and stood up. He felt as if his body weighed a thousand pounds. When he looked up, all he saw was white flesh.


    He pushed the woman away, then pulled up his pants and shouted, "Men!"


    Yao Shunzi, who had fainted near the door, jolted and hurriedly pushed the door open. His face turned pale with fright at the scene before him.


    The women who were like flowers and jade-like last night were all naked and piled up together like pork. All the beauty was gone, and all that was left was disgust.


    Yao Shunzi swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Young Master was too fierce last night, he had toyed these women to death.


    "Young master!"


    Pow!


    Before Yao Shunzi could react, Cheng Yuan''s pig-like hand had already lashed out, causing his eyes to turn golden. Even so, Yao Shunzi was still able to stand firmly.


    "A bunch of useless bums!" I was robbed last night! What are you all doing! "Ahhh!"


    Cheng Yuan''s face turned extremely ugly as he kicked Yao Shunzi a few times.


    Yao Shunzi held his head and curled up on the ground. He didn''t let go until Cheng Yuan''s breath was gone. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his pained face immediately changed into a flattering expression.


    "Don''t be angry, young master. Get someone to investigate carefully. There aren''t many people in Lishui County who dare to go against you ¡­"


    "Then why don''t you go and do it!"


    Cheng Yuan slapped the table again, his small eyes staring like a bull''s eye. When he caught this thief, he would definitely hack him into a thousand pieces to quell his humiliation!


    "Yes, yes, yes. This lowly one will go and settle it now."


    Yao Shunzi nodded repeatedly and retreated to the door, but was stopped by Cheng Yuan.


    "Today, no one in this room can leave alive!"


    Cheng Yuan''s white, chubby face flashed with a cold aura. How could his embarrassing look be spread out?!


    At this moment, a few girls had already woken up. When they heard Cheng Yuan''s words, they immediately cried for their parents, but they would only die even faster.


    "Hey, have you heard? "The Cheng family''s manor was stolen last night, then the Cheng family''s manor is still inside. I heard that they''ve stolen an extremely important item ¡­"


    "Sigh, I say, it''s a real pity that that bandit didn''t kill Cheng Yuan ¡­"


    Tao Xiaoqing, who was listening attentively to the gossip, was suddenly slapped from behind and almost jumped up.


    "Dong ¡­ Dong ¡­" "Why did you appear so silently?"


    Tao Xiaoqing patted his chest. Jin Weiwei''s sudden appearance really gave him a fright.


    "What are you doing? Are the guests waiting for the meat? Did you do something bad? Look at your guilty conscience! "


    Only after being reminded by Jin Weiwei did Tao Xiaoqing react. He hurriedly cut the meat in his hand and handed it to Jin Weiwei, saying, "Boss, I have a interesting thing to tell you."


    "Speak."


    She wanted to hear what kind of interesting things could make Tao Xiaoqing unable to work.


    "I heard that Cheng Yuan was robbed last night. There are thieves everywhere in the city right now."


    What Jin Weiwei said behind Tao Xiaoqing was already inaudible. Her mind buzzed for a moment, then went blank, and she ran towards little Fugui without a care for her life.


    "Let''s go!"


    Little Fugui had an inexplicable look on his face. He had caused Tao Xiaoqing so much pain that he wanted to settle the score and cut the meat.


    "Why?"


    When they arrived at the backyard, Jin Weiwei was very anxious.


    "Let''s go!" Cheng Yuan''s coming to get you! "


    Jin Weiwei was out of breath and her face was full of worry.


    Hearing this, Xiao Fugui smiled indifferently.


    "Nothing."


    "Why is it alright!" Didn''t you hear that Cheng Yuan had the entire county magistrate court apprehend the thief? "


    Jin Weiwei jumped up and down anxiously, but he was still as calm as ever.


    "I took everything in Cheng Yuan''s room."


    "Even if we take it away... "Hey, you said you took all of Cheng Yuan''s belongings?"


    Jin Weiwei wasn''t stupid, she quickly understood what little rich kid meant. When she met little rich kid this morning, he had also just come back from the outside, but he had only given her a hairpin ¡­


    He was trying to create the appearance of someone entering the house to steal.


    "Loot..." "No, what did you do with those things?"


    She couldn''t see what was inside the hairpin, but if the little rich kid still had those things, then it would become ''evidence''!


    "The river."

 C122

    Little Fugui replied. He touched the ends of her hair and left. The curve of the corner of his mouth didn''t escape Jin Weiwei''s eyes. Her face reddened.


    God! Did he just laugh?!


    Jin Weiwei patted her face and told herself not to be bewitched by her beauty. She returned to the shop and took over Tao Xiaoqing''s work. After thinking for a long time, Jin Weiwei finally understood how greedy little Fugui looked at her.


    This was really a case of hiding one''s ears and stealing away all the valuable things in Cheng Yuan''s room, causing one to have the illusion that a thief had entered the room. This way, Cheng Yuan wouldn''t suspect them.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help raising her head to look at Fugui. His profile was as beautiful as his face. Perhaps it was because of the light, but it looked a bit gentler.


    Noticing that someone was looking at him, little Fugui looked up and saw Jin Weiwei''s dazed expression. The corner of his mouth curled up, and then he lowered his head.


    Jin Weiwei''s heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked down and her face turned red again. She, how come she saw him laughing more and more these days?


    * *


    Bang!


    Another sound of a tea bowl shattering sounded.


    Cheng Yuan paced around the room furiously, his fat body shaking with each beat. It was a funny thing.


    "Has the thief been found yet?"


    Cheng Yuan sat down on a chair with his fat body as soon as he saw Yao Shunzi. His small eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a hint of a dangerous glint.


    Yao Shunzi couldn''t help shrinking his neck back. The pain from yesterday still hurt.


    "Young master, this thief is truly crafty. It''s not good for me to find the county magistrate court''s yamen runners ¡­"


    "Bastard!" "Trash!"


    Upon hearing these words, Cheng Yuan abruptly stood up and pointed a thick finger at Yao Shunzi, who trembled uncontrollably.


    Just who was it that caused him to suffer such humiliation?!


    "Young, young master ¡­"


    Seeing that the finger was about to poke at him, Yao Shunzi swallowed his saliva and quickly said, "This little one has my suspicions ¡­"


    What is there to talk about? If I don''t give my young master an explanation now, he won''t be able to keep his little life.


    "Speak."


    Cheng Yuan retracted his hand and held his waist.


    "Young Master, did you just accept that young maiden''s jade hairpin yesterday?" But at night, the Young Master was robbed, and the young maiden of the Jin Clan did not come to cause trouble? "


    Yao Shunzi gritted his teeth and said. Wasn''t Young Master interested in that woman''s husband? Even if it wasn''t the work of the Jin family''s wife, he believed that the young master could have relied on the Jin family''s wife to do it.


    After two seconds of silence, Yao Shunzi''s heart skipped a beat.


    "You''re quite useful, I didn''t raise you for nothing!"


    Cheng Yuan nodded his head in approval. "However, it wasn''t the work of that woman from the Jin family. Her husband must have done it."


    These words contained a hint of incomprehension, Cheng Yuan narrowed his eyes as he thought about the beauty he saw in front of the restaurant that day.


    Tsk tsk ¡­ He had never seen such a cold and aloof man before. His brows were cold and repulsive. If such a beautiful woman was in bed, what kind of scenery would she have?


    When Yao Shunzi raised his head and saw Cheng Yuan''s unrestrained desire, he sighed in his heart. He feared that this Jin family''s butcher shop was done for.


    At the Jin family meat shop.


    Jin Weiwei busied herself with her day''s worth of good mood and expectations. Such a life was very fulfilling for her.


    At noon, Jin Weiwei prepared food and called the two of them to eat.


    A group of vicious and fiendish bailiffs barged in.


    "Who''s the little rich kid?"


    Jin Weiwei''s heart tightened. A figure had already appeared in front of her.


    A cold voice rang out, "I am."


    "Little Fugui ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei grabbed little rich kid''s hand and looked at him worriedly. However, she was startled. Why did little rich kid''s face turn so dark?


    "Take him away."


    The bailiffs didn''t say much and directly went to arrest him.


    "Stop!"


    The crowd turned to look at her. "May I ask why you want to capture my husband?"


    "The county magistrate suspects him of having something to do with a case of theft. Bring him over for questioning."


    Was this the appearance of a question!?


    If it weren''t for some considerations, Jin Weiwei would have almost shouted out loud. Just as she was about to say something, little Fugui shook his head at her.


    At this moment, Jin Weiwei could only watch as little rich and wealthy children were taken away.


    "Fuck off, what''s there to look at!"


    A crowd of onlookers surrounded the entrance of the store. Seeing that Jin Weiwei was in a bad mood, Tao Xiaoqing made a sound to chase her away.


    Jin Weiwei came back to her senses, clenched her teeth, and smiled at everyone.


    "Fellow villagers, I believe that my husband has been wronged. Although I, Jin Weiwei, do not have much ability, this small shop has a monthly surplus, so it is not difficult to buy something. My husband is not allowed to do that kind of thing, and in the afternoon, I welcome all of you to come.


    She had just thought about it. Yesterday, news of a thief had spread far and wide, and today, the little rich kid had been captured. Clearly, it was targeting the little rich kid and not her.


    Everyone looked at Jin Weiwei with reddened eyes and a strong appearance on the surface, so their hearts more or less turned into guilt.


    "What does the young wife of the Jin family say? Do we not know what kind of person you and your husband are?"


    "That''s right. Ever since the little girl of the Jin family came to do business in the city, there have been people constantly plotting against the Jin family''s meat shop. Who knows, maybe there''s someone framing them this time?"


    "Yes, that must be it ¡­"


    Everyone started talking at once. In addition to Jin Weiwei''s excellent reputation in the neighborhood, the onlookers followed to comfort her.


    These people might follow her, or they might watch the show, but as long as she gave people an extremely good impression of her, turning Wang Hai of Zhixian into a great old master of the blue sky, then there was a huge chance for her to save little rich son.


    In the butcher''s shop, Jin Weiwei was handed over to Tao Xiaoqing, while she went to the yamen. She wanted to see if it was a good thing Cheng Yuan had done. If that was the case, she would take down Cheng Yuan no matter the cost!


    "Put the suspect, Xiao Fugui, in jail and wait for the second trial."


    However, by the time she arrived, the interrogation was already over. She only had time to look at the back of the little rich kid, nothing else.


    "Yo, isn''t that the little girl from the Jin family?"


    Just as she was worrying, an annoying voice rang in her ears. She raised her head and saw that her face had turned cold.


    "Tsk tsk, look at your face. You want to save your husband? "Easy!"


    Cheng Yuan fanned himself and smiled at Jin Weiwei.


    "As long as you ask your husband to accompany me for one night, I can let him go."


    Cheng Yuan chuckled, but he could not conceal the contempt in his eyes. How could such a cold beauty of a clear breeze and bright moon marry into such a desiccated village girl? It was such a waste of heaven''s treasure.


    "In your dreams!"


    Jin Weiwei scoffed. She finally understood that the matter today was done by Cheng Yuan. With such a fat and pig-like body, how could he not be afraid of crushing her husband? He was shameless!


    "Slut!" Don''t refuse a toast and eat a forfeit! "

 C123

    Cheng Yuan''s eyes were wide like an ox''s, and his thick palm was about to land.


    Jin Weiwei took a step back and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Cheng Yuan killed someone! Cheng Yuan is bullying the good citizens! "


    Cheng Yuan staggered from the force of his slap. It could be seen that he had exerted at least ten percent of his strength.


    Jin Weiwei felt a burst of fear. If she hadn''t run away, she would have been deafened even if she had not died!


    "Cheng Yuan killed someone!" "He''s going to commit a public murder in front of the county magistrate court!"


    Jin Weiwei''s shout attracted a large number of onlookers, who started to point at Cheng Yuan. No matter how arrogant Cheng Yuan was, he didn''t dare to do anything to him.


    "Alright, Jin Weiwei, just you wait for me!"


    Cheng Yuan harrumphed coldly. The fat on his body was trembling uncontrollably. He felt extremely disgusted.


    Jin Weiwei lowered her clenched fists. At this moment, she felt a layer of cold sweat on her back. When the wind blew, she couldn''t help but shiver.


    Turning her head to look at everyone, Jin Weiwei bowed and said sincerely, "Jin Weiwei thanks everyone."


    If it wasn''t for these people, she, Jin Weiwei, would have been finished here.


    "Aiyo, little lady, quickly go home. Cheng Yuan isn''t someone to be trifled with."


    An aunt looked sympathetically at Jin Weiwei. After all, there were still good people in Linshui County. Furthermore, at the gate of the county magistrate court, the citizens'' courage was greater than before.


    Jin Weiwei nodded, expressed her thanks to the crowd, and walked inside the county magistrate''s office. Go home? What about little rich kid? She definitely could not go home like this.


    "What?" You can''t see it? "


    When Jin Weiwei arrived at the prison, she told Jin Weiwei that she had come to visit her family. The moment she heard the name of the little rich boy, the jailer was put into a difficult position and told Jin Weiwei that she could not go.


    Gritting her teeth, Jin Weiwei took out two taels of silver from her pocket and placed it in the hands of the bailiff, showing a fawning expression.


    "Sir, this is the money for my wine and drinks. I will only be in for a short while, would you mind if I did?"


    "Then... "This?"


    The bailiff looked greedily at Jin Weiwei''s purse. He weighed the two silver taels in his hand. No matter how he looked at it, he was not satisfied.


    Jin Weiwei secretly cursed him for not knowing what was good for him. He hardened his heart and gave the entire bonus bag to the bailiff, who immediately beamed with joy.


    "Let''s go in, but we have to go quickly."


    The bailiff brought Jin Weiwei into the cell. When he saw that the cell was still relatively dry, he felt slightly relieved.


    "Little Fugui, are you okay?"


    Noticing the commotion, little Fugui didn''t open his eyes, but after hearing Jin Weiwei''s voice, he opened his eyes.


    "I''m fine."


    Little Fugui revealed a faint smile. Even his dark face couldn''t hide his elegance. Jin Weiwei couldn''t care less about his stunning appearance, she was extremely worried.


    "They didn''t torture you, did they? "And that Cheng Yuan, he ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t finish her sentence. How could her eyes be so sour when she looked at the little rich kid''s face through the bars of the cell?


    "Nothing, he has no evidence."


    He reached out his hand to stroke Jin Weiwei''s head and gave her a reassured look.


    "He would find evidence to frame you even without evidence. He just wants you!"


    How could this person be so stupid! Wasn''t it just a matter of time before they tried to frame him?


    They had nothing, how could they fight with others!


    "I believe you."


    Little Fugui took back his hand and his deep eyes locked onto Jin Weiwei. This was the first time she saw such a thing.


    Jin Weiwei sniffed and heard the hateful voice of the yamen runner, "Are you done yet? Hurry up!"


    "Next time I come to see you, let me tell you, I can''t let that bastard Cheng Yuan go, do you hear me?"


    Jin Weiwei said fiercely. To the little rich guy''s eyes, she seemed somewhat cute.


    Jin Weiwei could only helplessly nod her head before following the bailiff out.


    After leaving the yamen, the Jin Weiwei family did not return, but instead went straight to Cheng Yu''s mansion.


    "Please tell your young master that Jin Weiwei from the Jin family''s meat shop is looking for him."


    The gatekeeper was kind. He stopped Jin Weiwei and said, "Miss, our young master is not here. Two days ago, he went to the capital to discuss business matters."


    "Then how long before he comes back?"


    "Maybe very soon, maybe two or three months."


    This time, Jin Weiwei was like a deflated balloon, her entire being was depressed as if she was running away for her life.


    When he returned to the shop, it was already dark. Tao Xiaoqing was still waiting in the shop. When he saw Jin Weiwei''s dejected appearance, he knew that this matter was going to be difficult to resolve.


    "Boss, don''t worry. The county lord is still quite fair. Rich brother will definitely be fine."


    Although he said this, only Tao Xiaoqing knew whether he believed it or not.


    Obviously, Jin Weiwei also didn''t believe him. "Zhixian won''t help me, so the Cheng family has a powerful official in the capital ¡­"


    After pausing for a moment, Jin Weiwei''s reddened eyes suddenly lit up. She abruptly stood up, scaring Tao Xiaoqing.


    "Little Fugui said he has no evidence! That''s right, why am I so stupid? I don''t have any evidence! "


    Why didn''t she think of that just now?


    He had heard that Wang Hai''s term in Linshui County was coming to an end next year. If there wasn''t a good review, Wang Hai wouldn''t have let him rise to greatness, and Wang Hai had a good reputation among the commoners in the past few years. That meant Wang Hai was very concerned about this promotion, which made things much easier!


    The next day, the people from the county magistrate court arrived one after another and heard the sound of injustice from outside.


    The deafening sound seemed to smash into the hearts of people. Accompanied by Jin Weiwei''s somewhat mournful scream, the entire scene seemed somewhat tragic.


    "Damn it!" "Damn it!"


    Jin Weiwei had purposely worn a little make-up today. It was a decision she had made after thinking about it for a long time.


    Her plain clothes and plain makeup would make people feel that she was extremely weak. She had to make people feel that she was weak, be bullied, and gain more sympathy in order to save little Fugui.


    Wang Hai was quickly asked to come out from the inner court. He had just woken up, so his eyes were still blurry and his brows were slightly agitated.


    He opened his eyes and saw that it was the young lady from the Jin family''s butcher''s shop!


    Wang Hai''s impatience faded a bit. "Who are you? What grievances do you have?"


    "I am Jin Weiwei, suing you, County Lord, for framing a good citizen!"


    As soon as the words left his mouth, a commotion broke out. Wang Hai''s drowsiness was completely gone. Everyone''s hearts began to race.


    "How dare you!" Do you know that framing an official ordered by the imperial government is a capital offense?! "


    She couldn''t let it go far. Firstly, she didn''t have the ability to move far yet, and secondly, it was very likely that she would fail. In the end, she would throw herself in, and the losses wouldn''t be worth it.


    Although this method was dangerous, it was still a special period for Wang Hai. If his political enemies were to use this as an example, then Wang Hai''s promotion would be over.


    Wealth comes from danger. She was willing to take this gamble!

    "The woman that this humble servant wishes to sue is the county magistrate. May I ask, sir, did you capture the husband of this humble servant last night?"


    Jin Weiwei tried her best to explain the truth in a calm tone, but even so, many onlookers were still shocked by her actions. In these thousands of years, who would dare to tell the county magistrate?


    There is a law in the Dazhalan, and the Son of Heaven is guilty of the crime with the people; moreover, there is no rule in the Dazhalan that the people cannot sue for office.


    Before coming here, she had already asked the lawyer about this, so she was confident.


    She didn''t believe that Cheng Yuan would suddenly produce evidence in a short night''s time.


    "Yes, this county did take your husband yesterday, but he was imprisoned as a suspect and not a criminal. Your actions are a false accusation!"


    Wang Hai frowned. He had previously thought that Jin Weiwei was a pitiful person, but now it seemed that she was someone who did not understand what was going on!


    "Sir!" "May I ask if the person who sued my husband yesterday has solid evidence that he is a suspect?"


    Wang Hai was stunned. Yesterday, he hurriedly sent little rich son to jail due to the pressure of the Cheng family. Originally, it was already very stressful, but now if Jin Weiwei found out about it, his reputation in the county would be in trouble.


    Seeing Wang Haizhu in a daze, Jin Weiwei knew that this matter was just as she thought. Cheng Yuan and Zhixian had no evidence.


    "My lord, my lady, may I ask, yesterday, did the plaintiff''s side show any conclusive evidence to prove that my husband was a suspect?"


    "The young master of the Cheng family accused your husband of stealing money from his house. He also said that his purpose wasn''t those things, but a jade hairpin that he saw in his pawn shop and took away when he liked. But that hairpin is yours, so he went and stole it."


    "He said that my master was stealing based on some unwarranted evidence. If he can be sent to jail like this, then I can accuse anyone here of being a suspect. Does that mean we have to arrest him as well?"


    Jin Weiwei''s heart skipped a beat. This was the first time that someone had gone against someone who ate royal food!


    Without waiting for Wang Hai to lose his temper, Jin Weiwei continued, "The citizens of Linshui County all know that you are a good official. You must have been forced to do this. I wonder if you could send the plaintiff over?"


    If she had gone far from the start, then it would have been impossible for her to do so. Now that Wang Hai had personally told her what had happened yesterday and even mentioned that he was a good official of Lishui County, it would be difficult for Wang Hai to stop riding a tiger. If she were to spread this news, then it would be twice the result with half the effort.


    But from now on, she would probably offend Wang Hai as well.


    "Shiyuan."


    Wang Hai''s face was ugly. Seeing the people outside discussing, the anger in his heart started to rise. He still couldn''t drive these people away!


    It''s all because of this Jin Weiwei!


    Not long later, Cheng Yuan arrived with a group of people. They were covered in fat, and Jin Weiwei didn''t even want to look at them.


    "Who is your subordinate?!" Why don''t you kneel! "


    Cheng Yuan unwillingly kneeled down. He had to admit that Wang Hai did have some ability after all, or else he wouldn''t have been able to properly punish Lin Shui.


    "This commoner, Cheng Yuan, pays his respects to the county magistrate."


    Cheng Yuan sneered as he looked at Jin Weiwei. This little girl really had some guts to actually sue him!


    "Master Prefecture Overseer, may I know what matter this woman wishes to indict me of?" But, you were unwillingly brought here by me during the Spring Festival Gala? "


    "How dare you!"


    Even though the Cheng family had people in the capital, Wang Hai had people backing him!


    Normally, he would just be a bit polite, but in court, he wouldn''t allow anyone to slap his face.


    Cheng Yuan held himself back. He had heard that Wang Hai had climbed up to a high branch in the capital two years ago. Even if he was going to get married, he couldn''t afford to offend him.


    "May I ask Sir, yesterday, was it this person who said that my husband entered the house to steal?"


    "Yes."


    Wang Hai thought for a moment. This was probably a trap that Cheng Yuan had set. He had seen Jin Wei''s husband before. He was dirty and did not look good at all.


    "It''s me, what''s wrong?"


    Cheng Yuan nodded. His huge head was like a pig''s head, extremely arrogant.


    "May I ask if Young Master Cheng has solid evidence that my husband stole your things?"


    "This young master suspects that he has stolen something from me. Is that not enough? I am the plaintiff! "


    Cheng Yuan found it funny. It was impossible to reason with him in Linshui County.


    "Then I ask Young Master Cheng Yuan to give me concrete evidence. If you accuse me wrongly, I will report it to the city, to the state, and to the capital!" I will also avenge my husband! "


    She was betting on Wang Hai not wanting to blow the matter up. Just now, she had seen that Wang Hai was not afraid of getting married, so what else did she, Jin Weiwei, have to worry about? Just hold on to this point!


    Sure enough, the moment she said those words, Wang Hai''s Shocking Tree fell down.


    "Why are you making such a ruckus!?" This was a court! It''s not the market in front of your house! "


    The young maiden of the Jin family was one of those people who refused to let go no matter how unreasonable. This kind of person was the most terrifying. He only had a year left to go to the city, so there was no need for something to happen at this time.


    However, Jin Weiwei had started off by accusing him. If he let his word go and went back on his word, wouldn''t that ruin his own reputation?


    "Lord, this is clearly Cheng Yuan making a false accusation, it must be that Cheng Yuan''s family is powerful, forcing the Lord to act like this, and even helping the Lord to avenge our daughter. Lord, don''t worry, all the people in Lishui County are the pillars of our Lord, we will definitely not allow anyone to ruin our Lord''s reputation, please make the decision!"


    Jin Weiwei had said that twice, once for herself and once for the people. What Wang Hai needed the most right now was the hearts of the people, so she would give it to him!


    "That''s right. Milord, there''s no need to be afraid. Although we are commoners with flat heads, we are the backers of Milord. If Milord is framed by someone, then Milord, we must request for orders to save Milord."


    Tao Xiaoqing, who was among the crowd, suddenly spoke out. His voice was agitated, leading a few people. Gradually, the people surrounding the county magistrate court all began to shout.


    "Lord, please uphold justice for our people!"


    Tao Xiaoqing was sweating as he shouted. He was truly shocked by what happened just now. Those words were taught to him by Jin Weiwei before she came this morning, and he was afraid they might not work.


    Fortunately, Wang Hai''s reputation was not bad, and the people loved him, so their voices became louder and louder.


    Wang Hai was stunned. He couldn''t think straight. Just now, it was Jin Wei who sued him, but now it was all over. The situation had turned around too quickly!


    Suddenly noticing a familiar figure in the crowd, Wang Hai''s eyes narrowed. He looked at Jin Weiwei with a more probing gaze. Such an intelligent person, it was a pity that he was born a girl.


    Jin Weiwei met Wang Haiwen''s gaze and quickly lowered her head. She knew Wang Hai had seen through her tricks, but ¡­ He shouldn''t dislike her that much, right?


    "Cheng Yuan, do you have any solid evidence that this was stolen by little rich kid?"


    "This... "This, I ¡­"


    Cheng Yuan was also stunned. Where did this Jin Weiwei get the money from? Bought so many people?

 C125

    If Cheng Yuan could not answer, then it would be a framing. With so many people here, Wang Hai would not ruin his reputation. Even if he could not punish Cheng Yuan, he would still let little Fugui out.


    "Milord, look. Cheng Yuan can''t take out any evidence, and he''s actually accusing me of being my husband. That must be a false accusation, please make the decision."


    Jin Weiwei decided to stop when she saw that things were going well. In any case, offending someone from both sides meant offending someone from far away. It would be better to completely offend them and then think about other matters.


    "This county has declared that Cheng Yuan''s evidence is insufficient. The suspicion of little Fugui is nothing, and he has been acquitted."


    Wang Hai did not feel any pressure to let them go. He had earned a lot. Jin Weiwei had offended him, but he had only saved a small rich kid. On the other hand, he had earned the hearts of the people.


    Seeing that Wang Hai did not intend to punish Cheng Yuan, he knew that this was Wang Hai''s biggest concession.


    "This humble woman thanks her lordship, and it is a blessing for the people of Lishui County that he should be so righteous."


    Jin Weiwei took the opportunity to kiss Wang Hai''s ass again. As the saying goes, if one wore thousands of clothes, then he would wear nothing.


    The smile on Wang Hai''s face deepened. It seemed that this Jin Weiwei was very sensible.


    "Master, you''re letting him go just like that? "You won''t even investigate?"


    Cheng Yuan didn''t want to continue any longer and directly got up. The bailiff next to him quickly slapped him down.


    Without waiting for Wang Hai to speak, Jin Weiwei continued, "If Prince Cheng still suspects my husband, my lord, I would ask my lord to search my wife''s shop. But in three days, even if my wife wants to hide some stolen goods, she would leave some traces behind."


    "Yes, my lord. Go and search Jin Weiwei''s shop. In order to ensure the corroboration of the evidence, I will send someone there."


    Cheng Yuan coldly snorted. If that was the case, then he had plenty of ways to frame and frame Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei looked at him coldly. Idiot! Zhi County had already said that they would let off the rich and the poor. Would they go back on their word at this point in time?


    "How dare you!"


    With a loud noise, Wang Hai''s face turned ashen. This Cheng Yuan was not even putting him in his eyes!


    "You don''t have conclusive evidence, yet you want us to search his home. For your first offense, we won''t punish you. Lady Jin, in a while, I''ll take your husband and you can leave."


    "Yes, Sir Xie!"


    Only at this moment did Jin Weiwei''s heart finally calm down, and she thanked him in a much more sincere manner.


    "Little Fugui!" "Pfft, hahahaha ¡­"


    Before meeting little Fugui, she was prepared to incite him, but when she saw that black lacquer face, she couldn''t help but laugh.


    It couldn''t be that he had smeared the bottom of the cooking pot on his face, right?


    The eyes of the little rich kid were slightly surprised. He didn''t think that Jin Weiwei would rescue him so quickly.


    She lowered her head and couldn''t help but smile. This woman ¡­ Very powerful.


    "Heh, since you''re flirting in public, you won''t be ashamed!"


    When he saw Jin Weiwei holding little rich kids, Cheng Yuan got angry. He stared at little rich kids face for a long time. Even though the beauty''s face was covered in dust, it was still very pretty.


    He had to get this person!


    "Not like Sir Cheng."


    Jin Weiwei gave a faint smile, glanced at Cheng Yuan, and then pulled the little rich kid by the hand.


    "What does she mean!"


    Cheng Yuan opened his eyes after a long moment of reaction, and the fat on his body was fully caved in.


    Yao Shunzi quickly soothed Cheng Yuan, "Don''t be angry, Young Master. She''s just a little grasshopper. If Young Master wants to take care of her, isn''t it easy?"


    "Humph!"


    Cheng Yuan threw off his robe and turned around to leave. One day, he would make this woman watch over him and the beautiful woman.


    "Boss, you''re so awesome, saving Fugui Bro just like that."


    Tao Xiaoqing had been standing guard outside the county magistrate''s entrance since the morning. His clean face was filled with happiness.


    He had thought that there would be a problem with his boss''s method, causing him to worry for a long time.


    "I''m just taking a gamble. I''m just lucky."


    Jin Weiwei patted her chest. She still felt some lingering fear. If she didn''t succeed, then she would also be involved.


    "Very powerful."


    The quiet little rich kid opened his mouth. His voice was soft and deep, as if he was in love with someone.


    Jin Weiwei paused and looked up at him. She couldn''t help but laugh as she wiped the dust off his face.


    "Why are you smearing dust on your face?"


    Little Fugui became silent. He didn''t say anything, and Jin Weiwei also straightened her face, no longer asking any further questions.


    She had a feeling that this little rich kid was hiding something from her, that he was hiding things from the government ¡­


    "Xiaoqing, I''ll be troubling you for the next two days. This is just a little bit of silver, go and subsidize the family."


    After two days of hard work, she had to show it.


    Tao Xiaoqing was flattered. Although there wasn''t much money, even working in another family didn''t entitle him to this kind of treatment.


    "No, no, boss, this is what I should do. I can''t take the money."


    I can''t let you suffer any losses. Although I don''t have much money, I can still take out this little bit of money, so if you feel that it''s worth it, then use this money as a bonus and put in some effort while you''re working, just let me earn it back, okay?


    The human heart was a necessity. As a boss, she must let others see that there was hope for her. Only then would she be able to calm her heart down.


    Tao Xiaoqing could not decline, but took it anyway. His heart became even more determined to follow Jin Weiwei.


    "You, go wash your face."


    She turned her head and saw the little rich and wealthy child looking at her without moving. She was stupefied like a wooden stake. This was clearly a beautiful scene, but that face was something that Jin Weiwei could not bear to look at.


    Little Fugui nodded.


    Not long after, the sound of something heavy landing came from the backyard. Jin Weiwei''s eyelids jumped as she quickly ran to the backyard.


    He saw Xiao Fu Gui lying on the ground, his face pale, unconscious.


    "Little Fugui!"


    "Rich brother!"


    Jin Weiwei quickly ran to the side of the little rich kid and lifted his head. She placed her hand under his nose and heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Go find a doctor!"


    Jin Weiwei''s face turned pale. She was the one who saved him, so it was better if nothing happened to him.


    While waiting, little Fugui''s face turned paler and paler. His forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and Jin Weiwei was feeling anxious as she walked around the room.


    Sigh!


    How did she forget?


    Jin Weiwei suddenly paused, silently chanted something, and the spatial door appeared.


    Last time, the sheep that she had infected with goat plague had entered this space. This space could cure sheep, and it definitely could also cure little rich children.


    Jin Weiwei entered the space and grabbed a handful of grass, then she took it out and fed it to little Fugui.


    Soon, she saw that his face wasn''t as pale as before. She couldn''t help but let out a sigh of relief. It seemed like it still worked.


    He dreamed of the woman again, the woman who had desperately tried to make him go away, who had died under the knife of a bailiff, the blood reddening the tawny earth, the blood flowing all the way to his face, as if the cold knives had already fallen on him.


    No... No...

 C126

    Xiao Fugui suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw the familiar surroundings, he felt a bit relieved.


    "Did you have a nightmare?"


    A touch of warmth climbed onto his forehead. He turned around and saw Jin Weiwei sitting at the side, worriedly holding a cup.


    The little rich kid shook his head, feeling a bit exhausted. He had once again dreamt of that woman.


    "Boss, boss, the doctor is here."


    It just so happened that at this moment, Tao Xiaoqing and the doctor arrived.


    Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he raised his head to see that Xiao Fugui had already woken up. Following that, he revealed a happy expression.


    "It''s great that Fugui bro is fine. I''ve just made the boss so anxious."


    "Do you still want to watch?"


    The doctor had a head full of white hair and was dressed in green. He looked clean and refined.


    "Look, may I trouble you to help my husband take a look?"


    Jin Weiwei got up to give up her seat. It was too scary just now, and she suddenly fell down. Although they were short on money, they couldn''t afford to save up for the treatment.


    The old doctor nodded and sat down to examine his pulse.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Seeing the old doctor act like this, Jin Weiwei''s heart instantly rose up. If this wasn''t a big deal for others, then the old doctor was already choking.


    "Doctor?"


    Jin Weiwei swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked nervously.


    "There''s poison in this guy''s body!"


    "What?!"


    "How is that possible? Wealthy brother has been following us around every day, how could he have been poisoned? "Could it be when we were in the prison ¡­"


    Tao Xiaoqing immediately shut his mouth, his eyes full of sympathy for Ai Hui.


    "What''s the rush? I haven''t finished speaking. The poison in this young man''s body is only residue. It can''t hurt his life. The most important thing is his illness."


    Jin Weiwei froze on the spot. Th-this was something she hoped the old doctor didn''t say. Each sentence was more fatal than the last.


    "Doctor, what happened to my husband?"


    The little rich kid who was lying on the bed frowned. Poisoned? Ye Zichen clenched his fists. No wonder he couldn''t help but feel annoyed.


    However ¡­


    What did the woman in the dream have to do with him? Why protect him?


    "His illness is very strange. His meridians are in disorder and I feel two waves of energy continuously colliding with each other. If I am unable to suppress it one day, it is very possible that he will die from an attack on my heart."


    Jin Weiwei was confused by the doctor''s words. Before anyone could say anything, the doctor''s eyes lit up. "This should be due to the palpitation caused by the cold. No, the poison in this young man''s body should be able to suppress that cold. This old man would like to ask, did you bring this sickness from your mother''s womb?"


    Xiao Fugui looked at Jin Weiwei with a gaze as calm as water. Jin Weiwei quickly said, "He lost his memory, so he shouldn''t remember."


    "Sigh ¡­"


    The old doctor sighed, and Jin Weiwei''s heart sank a bit.


    "Doctor, please tell me if his illness is serious or not. If he doesn''t want to live, tell me what kind of medicine he needs!"


    After speaking so much, other than understanding that Xiao Fugui''s illness was very serious, she didn''t understand anything else.


    "It''s serious, I''m afraid you won''t be able to buy the herbs that you need even if you go to such great lengths to buy it!"


    The old doctor''s frown deepened. Jin Weiwei was about to die from anxiety. Did doctors like to talk half-way?


    "What medicine?"


    "Rhino horn and musk, these two herbs can only be used by nobles. In the market price, they cost a hundred taels of silver each!"


    He only gave a general idea, which was probably even more expensive.


    "Is there no other way?"


    He didn''t know if her Spatial Ring would work, but if it did, he would directly knock her out and drag her in. He would bring her out when she recovered.


    The old doctor shook his head. Jin Weiwei had a heavy expression on her face as she told Tao Xiaoqing to take the doctor to get the silver.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll definitely cure you."


    Seeing the little rich kid in a daze, Jin Weiwei couldn''t calm down from the shock of thinking that he was still poisoned.


    "Nothing."


    The little rich kid came back to reality and comforted Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei was silent. This was the first time she had a strong interest in the background of a rich kid. He must have been the son of a wealthy family before. Otherwise, why would he live so long?


    Sigh, Jin Weiwei sighed in her heart. She secretly calculated the amount of silver in the space and discovered that even if she went all out, she wouldn''t be able to buy much rhinoceros horn and musk.


    After thinking about it for a night, Jin Weiwei decided to work hard to earn money within a year.


    "Little Qing, tell me, is there any profitable business in this county?"


    She had to make money as soon as possible, even though the profits from Jin family''s butcher shop were already more than enough.


    However, she couldn''t find the right business for the time being.


    "Boss, are you worried for Rich Bro?"


    Tao Xiaoqing, who was sweating profusely, asked.


    Jin Weiwei nodded.


    "I do, but I''m afraid it will be a bit difficult if you don''t have any connections."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up. As long as they could earn money, everything else was just a small matter.


    "Go ahead."


    "Boss, let me tell you. There is a Yunhai County next to Linshui County. Every year, the things that we sell to the sea there are all on a boat. It is so dazzling that people are dazzled by it. Of course, there are a lot of things that are shipped here, but it''s not that expensive."


    Speaking of this, Tao Xiaoqing''s face was filled with yearning. When he was young, he had gone to sell fish with his father. When he saw this, he could not help but marvel at it.


    "Get to the point!"


    Jin Weiwei cut a piece of meat. When she saw his longing look, she couldn''t help but give him a burst of chestnuts.


    "Ouch!" Boss, don''t be in such a hurry. "


    Coincidentally, it was already noon. There were only a few people who came to buy meat, so the two of them also rested.


    Meanwhile, Jin Weiwei had used the excuse of nurturing little rich children to rest at home.


    So there were only two people in the butcher''s shop.


    "All the goods in the ship were handed over by various families. This requires an official document, but this document isn''t that easy to obtain. Otherwise, your sausage would definitely be sold at a high price. The profit in between would be ten times higher."


    Dozens...


    Such a huge temptation was something that everyone would be tempted by, not to mention Jin Weiwei, who loved money.


    "What are the requirements for obtaining the official documents?"


    No matter how hard this path was, she had to continue.


    "This matter requires the recommendation of a renowned rich merchant or a respected scholar to be submitted to the Prefecture Lord for approval. The Prefecture Master would have to be sent to the prefecture lord''s city for approval, and a sea tax of five hundred silver would have to be paid. This matter is settled."


    The more Tao Xiaoqing spoke, the more Jin Weiwei''s frown deepened. This was equivalent to the modern customs, and was indeed very strict. It was unknown how long it would take for each one of them to fall down.


    "Can''t there be a shortcut?"


    Jin Weiwei lowered her voice. As the saying went, money can make a fool of itself. She couldn''t afford to wait, and the rich merchants couldn''t either. She didn''t believe that there was no other way.

 C127

    Hearing this, Tao Xiaoqing looked around and approached Jin Weiwei.


    "Boss, there''s a Chamber of Commerce in Linshui County. If you become the president of the trading union in Linshui County, coupled with the approval of the county lord, this document will be approved very quickly."


    With that, Jin Weiwei didn''t sigh. Tao Xiaoqing sighed instead. These two paths, no matter which one, were as difficult as ascending to heaven for her boss.


    But Jin Weiwei had her own thoughts. She was a person who became braver the more frustrated she was. Her life was so short, so she had to fight for it.


    "Have you sent the sausages to Cheng Jia restaurant and to the other shops yet?"


    However, right now, she still had to take good care of her business. Regardless of her future achievements, this was true capital.


    "Yes."


    "That''s good." As long as the business was fine, she was relieved.


    Cheng Yuan quietly went back to his old house to beg for his old master''s approval. He said that he had already realized his mistake in the manor, and that the house there was in ruins. He still hadn''t had a good time eating.


    Although the Old Master knew that what Cheng Yuan said was not true, his heart softened.


    Thus, Cheng Yuan was officially released.


    The first thing he did was to go to Cheng Yu''s store.


    "Hey, Young Master Yuan, why are you here today?"


    When the manager of Cheng Jia Restaurant, Gao Cen, saw that Cheng Yuan had arrived, his expression changed. Wasn''t Cheng Yuan being locked up by the Old Master?


    Why did he come here?


    Gao Cen had a headache. As long as this Cheng Yuan came, trouble would come.


    Last time, the two bookkeeper teachers had been scolded by their boss. With this as an example, Gao Cen''s heart was always on tenterhooks.


    "Do you think I need a manager to manage a restaurant that I come from?"


    Cheng Yuan turned on his fan, his face did not look too good. No, that''s not right, his complexion had not improved at all. He wanted to get rich first, but in the end, he did not get his hands on the person and even ruined his reputation.


    However, Cheng Yuan didn''t hate Jin Weiwei as much as he hated Chengyu. Chengyu was the biggest problem in his heart, and he had to get rid of it no matter what.


    "What did Young Master Yuan say? Isn''t it because I didn''t know that Young Master Yuan had come and was unprepared for anything? I was afraid that I might have neglected you, Young Master Yuan?"


    Who in the Cheng Family would dare to offend Cheng Yuan?


    "No need, I''ve come today to take over this restaurant. The Old Master said that Cheng Yu was in the capital discussing business and had no time to think about it, so I''ll temporarily take over this restaurant."


    With that, Cheng Yuan was satisfied when he saw the ugly expression on Gao Cen''s face. This Gao Cen was usually Cheng Yu''s lackey, and he was as happy to see Gao Cen fail as he was to see Cheng Yu fail.


    "This is a letter from the Old Master, from Shopkeeper Gao. From today onwards, I am the official owner of this restaurant!"


    The huge hoof like hand slammed down on the front of Gao Cen. It was a document, and the large family seal on it was extremely eye-catching, proving that Cheng Yuan was not lying.


    Gao Cen''s heart skipped a beat. This restaurant had always been managed by the father and son, so why was it suddenly given to Cheng Yuan?


    "You, Shopkeeper Gao, do your job well here. I will not mistreat others."


    Cheng Yuan chuckled and patted Gao Cen on the shoulder, but the words he said carried a hint of malice.


    "Yes."


    While Gao Cen was smiling as he dealt with Cheng Yuan, he was secretly anxious in his heart. He had to get someone to tell his boss that there was an accident here.


    "Sigh!" "What is this?"


    Cheng Yuan led his men straight to the backyard, and when he saw that they were carrying four or five baskets of something long and red, he called out to them out of curiosity.


    "Young Master Yuan, this is a sausage from the Jin family''s butcher''s shop. It''s waiting to be registered in the cold storage room."


    "Jin family meat shop?"


    Cheng Yuan sneered. So that bitch Jin Weiwei was even working with Cheng Yu. No wonder she was so stubborn. It was because she had Cheng Yu supporting her from behind!


    "All of you, go back! If you don''t want her sausages from now on, change them into other families!"


    "This ¡­"


    The leader seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma. In Linshui County, the sausages were the most delicious compared to the Jin family''s meat shop. It was all just passable.


    "What is it? Is this young master''s words useless? "


    "No, it''s just that the majority of the sausages in Linshui County came from the Jin family''s meat shop, and this was designated by Boss Cheng Yu ¡­"


    "What does he mean by fart!?" I am the owner of this restaurant, throw everything away for me and let me see things related to the Jin family''s meat shop.


    It seemed like that little bitch Jin Weiwei still had some tricks up her sleeve. He had to do something about it.


    "What? Your restaurant doesn''t want our sausages anymore?"


    Jin Weiwei frowned. Didn''t they sell it well?


    "But the sausages don''t taste good? Or is there a problem? "


    The attendant who brought the item back had a troubled expression on his face. "That''s not true. It''s just this Cheng Jia Restaurant. If it''s the owner, then so be it."


    "What about your former boss?"


    Cheng Yu wasn''t the kind of person who would turn hostile, so something must have gone wrong.


    "I''ve gone to the capital to discuss business matters and haven''t come back yet." The manservant sighed.


    "Then is your current boss Cheng Yuan?"


    A bad thought slipped through Jin Weiwei''s mind. If Cheng Jia restaurant''s owner was Cheng Yuan instead, then things would become much more troublesome.


    "Yes."


    Indeed!


    The servant saw that Jin Weiwei was silent and left with her people.


    "Boss, what should we do with the sausages now?"


    Tao Xiaoqing had a bitter face. They were no match for a family. They had an icehouse to refrigerate.


    If this sausage were to continue to stay here, it would break down in less than two days.


    "Find the rest of the retail investors and distribute them."


    There were a lot of people who came to the Jin family''s butcher''s shop to pick up the sausages, so they were able to digest it.


    However, what she was worried about the most right now was Cheng Yuan. How would she deal with him?


    She had thoroughly offended Cheng Yuan, so it was impossible for him to not come looking for trouble even after so long.


    "What''s wrong?"


    The calm and pleasant voice of a little rich kid suddenly came from behind her. Jin Weiwei''s eyebrows subconsciously relaxed a little.


    "Cheng Jia Restaurant''s owner has changed to Cheng Yuan. I''m worried that he will deal with us."


    With a bitter face, Jin Weiwei frowned so badly that a fly could be killed. The little rich kid slightly frowned and silently sat beside Jin Weiwei.


    "If there''s nothing else, I''ll protect you."


    After being silent for a long time, Jin Weiwei suddenly heard this sentence and blinked her eyes, unable to react. He placed his hand on Xiao Fugui''s forehead with a surprised expression.


    "I''m serious."


    Little Fugui suddenly turned his head to look at her. The light of the setting sun shone on his face, and those serious eyes of his were even more beautiful than the sunset. Jin Weiwei blushed. Was it really good for her to suddenly act like this?


    "That... I still have something to do, so I''ll go back to work first. "


    Jin Weiwei escaped the scene at an extremely fast speed, oh my god! The scene from a moment ago had caused her face to redden and her heart to palpitate. The scene was so beautiful that she wanted to kiss it.


    No, no, Jin Weiwei, you are a girl. You have to be reserved, but your heart is beating really fast ¡­

 C128

    "Boss!" Not good! Those retail investors have all come over to return the sausages! "


    Early in the morning, when Jin Weiwei had just opened her eyes, she heard Tao Xiaoqing shouting outside. Upon hearing this, Jin Weiwei''s drowsiness instantly vanished.


    Pushing the door open, he saw Xiao Fugui and Tao Xiaoqing standing in the doorway.


    "What''s going on?"


    "I asked them if there was a problem with the sausages. They faltered and did not say anything. Boss, did Cheng Yuan do this?"


    Tao Xiaoqing looked anxious. He had just woken up this morning and saw that some of the retail customers who were always picking up sausages from the Jin family''s butcher''s shop had come to return the goods.


    "You''ve already figured it out, is there even a need to say it?"


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but roll her eyes. "How many sausages were returned?"


    "Three baskets."


    Little Fugui said. His eyes were so beautiful that it was hard to clearly see his emotions.


    "Put these sausages in the place where you put the pork today. Say it''s to repay the customer''s interest and sell them at a lower price."


    Jin Weiwei quickly made up her mind. Cheng Yuan could control these retail customers who didn''t want to buy her sausages, but she couldn''t control the people who came to her shop daily to buy them.


    "Alright."


    Tao Xiaoqing accepted the order and went to do it.


    Tightening the clothes on her body, Jin Weiwei lowered her head in thought. Seeing her anxious face, little Fugui couldn''t help but voice out, "Don''t worry, I''m here."


    Jin Weiwei raised her head and met his eyes. Her face was a little red. She was not used to how affectionate little rich and noble the boy had become.


    The whole morning was very quiet. Thanks to the reputation of the Jin family meat shop, those sausages were sold very quickly. By noon, there were only a dozen sausages left.


    At noon, just as the three of them were about to sit down and rest, a group of people suddenly ran into the store.


    "You are all... "Ahhh!"


    Jin Weiwei went up to him, but who would''ve thought that his stick would fall down. Luckily, little Fugui was always behind her and pulled her.


    When she opened her eyes, Jin Weiwei was surprised to find that little rich man''s arm had blocked the other''s stick.


    The muffled sound hurt her.


    "Smash it!"


    At the command, the group of people rushed in like a hornet''s nest, and the little rich kid pushed her behind the counter.


    "Don''t come out!"


    Jin Weiwei nodded frantically. When she tilted her head, she saw little Fugui lift a person and smash him into the crowd. Immediately, a large number of people fell to the ground.


    There were still some people who wanted to continue moving forward, so Xiao Fugui directly pointed his meat cleaver at the leader.


    That person widened his eyes. He had almost collided with the tip of the blade, and before he could even react, someone had already grabbed his neck and thrown him onto the oily, bloody chopping board.


    The cold blade brought with it a cold wind as it fell beside his ear, emitting a dark sound.


    He immediately stopped moving. He believed that if he moved, the person holding his collar would kill him.


    Xiao Fugui''s icy eyes swept across the remaining people as he coldly said, "Scram."


    Everyone quickly fled, and the leader carefully moved away from the blade. He looked at Xiao Fugui as if he was looking at a demon, turned around and ran out the door.


    "Are you okay?"


    Jin Weiwei quickly ran out from behind the counter and pulled away the hand that was holding the stick. Seeing that it had already turned green, she couldn''t help but feel anxious.


    "I''m fine."


    Little Fugui pulled back his hand and shook his head. It was only a light injury.


    "Why are you alright, Xiao Qing. Hurry and get the blood circulation medicine."


    Jin Weiwei had already turned green, and she did not know if there were any bone cracks. She looked at him angrily, "You''re talking about me!? If you hit yourself with that stick, you won''t die even if you have a lot of meat. At most, you can just lie down for two days. He actually went to block it! "


    As he finished speaking, he didn''t even see the little rich kid angry. Instead, he heard a light chuckle, followed by the usual calm and indifferent voice.


    "It''s fine."


    "You!"


    Jin Weiwei raised her head and was stunned. There was a trace of a smile in her eyes ¡­


    Jin Weiwei lowered her head, her heart thumping. Oh no, she was blushing again. What should she do?


    "Rich brother, boss ¡­" "Medicine."


    Perhaps the two of them didn''t feel anything, but their postures were rather ambiguous in Tao Xiaoqing''s eyes. Tao Xiaoqing''s tanned face was a little red. The way the two of them acted all day long made him want to get married.


    Jin Weiwei came back to her senses and coughed twice in embarrassment. She let go of Fugui''s hand and said, "Xiaoqing, apply the medicine on your Fugui bro."


    When he came back to his senses, Jin Weiwei frowned as she looked at the mess on the ground. Although little rich kid had chased them away, he had also destroyed a lot of things.


    At this rate, she would be closed down in a few days.


    This Cheng Yuan was too ruthless!


    "Boss, what should we do now? There will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future."


    Jin Weiwei fell silent. What Little Qing said made sense, but for the time being, she still couldn''t think of a way.


    Seeing the crowd gathered outside, Jin Weiwei turned to Tao Xiaoqing and said, "Close the door today."


    She had to go back and think of a solution.


    After finding the little rich kid, Jin Weiwei sat down next to him and sighed. Every time she ran into trouble, she would come looking for the little rich kid.


    "Do you have any good ideas?"


    Even though she knew that little Fugui might not answer her, she still opened her mouth. Little Fugui was a smart person, and every time she spoke to him, she would feel that her IQ would be crushed, but she would not let him go.


    "Making trouble."


    "Huh?"


    What does this mean?


    Xiao Fugui''s watery eyes stared at her for a moment, while Jin Weiwei was stunned. She finally understood what was going on, and saw that Xiao Fugui''s face had a smile that was not a smile.


    "Are you saying that you did something for Cheng Yuan and then made him unable to find trouble with me? I didn''t misunderstand you, right?"


    The little rich kid nodded and rubbed her head. Jin Weiwei raised her eyebrows at him. Why did her actions just now feel like she was rewarding a puppy?


    "But we have to create some trouble for him!" If it was a simple family who was able to easily take care of him, then it would definitely be a big problem. It would be best if the elders in the family could also find trouble with him. "


    At the end of her sentence, Jin Weiwei was already talking to herself, her small eyes showing a trace of cunning.


    "He likes men."


    Little Fugui sighed and reminded Meng Hao.


    "What does it have to do with liking men... "Ahhh!"


    Jin Weiwei suddenly raised her head, her bright eyes filled with little rich children. In the next second, she let out a sigh. "I still can''t figure it out. Tell me, do you have a way?"


    Ye Zichen shook his arm like a spoiled child, causing his ears to turn red. However, his face was still calm as he looked at the red clouds in the sky, then leaned towards Jin Weiwei''s ear and said something.


    * *


    Cheng Yu''s expression changed upon receiving Gao Cen''s letter. The old man''s mind was getting more and more out of control. He actually handed over such an important business to Cheng Yuan. Wasn''t he waiting to be defeated?

 C129

    Cheng Yu rushed back to Linshui County in only three days.


    "I want to see Grandfather."


    Cheng Yuan''s face was anxious as he spoke to the servant serving in front of the Cheng family''s Old Master.


    The servant looked troubled as he said hesitantly, "Young Master Yu, the Old Master has been feeling a bit unwell recently. You should come back to see him."


    Cheng Yu frowned and looked inside, knowing that the grandpa was running away from him. After standing there for a while, he turned around and went to his father, Cheng Feng''s yard. He had to figure out what happened today.


    "Father!"


    Cheng Yu pushed open the door and entered. He had completely forgotten about the noble demeanor of others. Now that something like this had happened, how could he sit still?


    Cheng Feng, who was in the middle of drawing, frowned. "To disregard etiquette, what kind of manners do you have?"


    "Father, the Old Master wants to take Cheng Jia restaurant to Cheng Yuan, why didn''t you stop him?"


    He knew that Cheng Feng had the ability to stop him, or else he wouldn''t have lost his composure like this. If it weren''t for his father''s permission, would the Old Master have easily taken away Cheng family''s restaurant?


    "The Old Master is the elder of the family, the House and House Restaurant are owned by the family, isn''t it the same no matter who it is managed by? "And back then ¡­"


    "Father! We should still be able to deal with what happened back then! After so many years, everything he did was carried away by his son. Wasn''t that enough? "Even if that year caused the death of Cheng Yuan''s parents, we''re not the one who killed them!"


    Cheng Yu''s eyes were bloodshot, and there was still some dark green in his eyes. His eyes were filled with scalding tears, and there was also a strong sense of fatigue.


    Ever since Wang Mu had said those words to him, he had thought it through carefully. He was still young when that happened, but he was with his father, Cheng Feng. When that happened, the two of them only saw and did not speak.


    After this matter was exposed, the Old Master and Cheng Yuan''s mother all blamed them, so much so that they could never straighten their backs in front of Cheng Yuan.


    "Shut up!" Didn''t I make you bury this matter forever in your heart? With your ability, can''t you start your own restaurant? "


    Cheng Feng''s eyes also turned red. They were already in the wrong for not saving him back then, but now they thought that everything was redemptive.


    "Father, do you want to see our family fall?"


    Cheng Feng did not speak.


    "Father, Cheng Yuan is the direct descendant of the Cheng family, so are we!"


    Cheng Yu gave a rare sneer. Seeing that Cheng Feng still didn''t respond, he slammed the door and left.


    Wang Mu, who was standing guard outside the door, was shocked by what he had just heard. He asked the young master why he was normally so tolerant of Cheng Yuan. Cheng Yuan''s parents had actually died in front of the two of them.


    The Jin family''s butcher shop had been in a state of gloom lately, and there were many different kinds of things about it, even though she was not allowed to be beaten up in her shop.


    But will your business be any better if there''s a lot of singing, juggling, and people running away?


    Jin Weiwei was so angry that she closed the door. She hadn''t earned anything in the past two days, so it was a loss.


    "This won''t do. I have to think of a way. If this goes on, sooner or later, it will close!"


    Jin Weiwei slammed her hand on the table. Little Fugui looked up at her, the color in his eyes darkening by two points.


    Cheng Yuan was in a very good mood recently. He saw that Cheng Yu was in a bad mood, and all of Cheng Yu''s properties were in his name.


    If that was the case, then he had basically taken control of half of the family. Now, who would not be courteous enough to see him?


    "Young master, look at the Jin family''s butcher shop in front of us. It''s so gloomy in front of our gate. The queue to buy meat a few days ago is already very long, now ¡­" Tsk tsk, this is the result of going against Young Master! "


    Yao Shunzi''s face was filled with a bewitching smile, just like a dog trying to please its prey.


    Cheng Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction. He wanted to let the entire Lishui County see what would happen if they went against him!


    "Let''s go, I''m very happy today, so I''ll bring you guys to the Elegant Wind Pavilion to play."


    Cheng Yuan liked men, so naturally he would choose some of the servants as well. Thus, when the crowd heard that he was going to the Elegant Wind Pavilion, they were overjoyed.


    The little servant girl from the Elegant Wind Pavilion was also very pretty, and was even more charming than a woman. They were naturally part of the young master''s playthings.


    "Aiyo, Young Master Yuan is here again?"


    Mother Gongye was a charming old woman. Cheng Yuan had wondered many times if it would be convenient for her to open such a small shop.


    "Shisan Niang, have you found any good stuff for me to taste?"


    "What? Young Master Yuan doesn''t like the idea of clearing up?"


    Thirteen''s mother frowned. In her heart, she thought that this Cheng Yuan was really quick to switch people. He hadn''t even been pampered for two months.


    "Besides, this young master is angry. If Lian Qing is so relaxed, do you dare to say that no one else has touched him?"


    Thirteen''s eyes rolled left and right, laughing and teasing her.


    "Young Master Yuan, what are you talking about? Forget it, forget it. Since young master doesn''t like it, then I''ll pick a new one for you. Young Master Yuan, I''m sure you''ll like it!"


    "Alright."


    After three rounds of drinking, this person changed batches after batches. Cheng Yuan had never taken a fancy to him, and his expression became increasingly impetuous. When Aunt Thirteen saw this, she became even more anxious.


    If Cheng Yuan was not satisfied with this, wouldn''t he tear down her Elegant Wind Pavilion!?


    Sigh ¡­ Got it!


    "I say, Aunt Thirteen, do you not have any peerless beauties here?" That''s all? "


    Cheng Yuan looked irritated. None of them looked as good as the man he saw in front of Cheng''s restaurant that day. He couldn''t help but feel impetuous.


    "Young Master Yuan, I do have one here, but it hasn''t been opened yet. I''m afraid I won''t cooperate with you ¡­"


    "It didn''t open?"


    There were quite a number of good men in Lishui County, so naturally, she couldn''t meet the demand. However, it was hard to find a source for goods, so normal men wouldn''t be willing to do such a thing, right?


    Then he would need some special methods and channels. This so-called ''unopened seal'' was something that had not been trained.


    Cheng Yuan''s interest was piqued. He had played with Kaifeng before, and had tasted everything, but not the unopened one.


    "Let''s go, let this young master have a look!"


    "Sigh!"


    Thirteen''s mother led Cheng Yuan through the long corridor in the backyard and into a dark room.


    A humming sound could be heard from the other side of the door. This sound was as clear as the wind, and Cheng Yuan almost wanted to push open the door and grab his clothes.


    This was a woodshed, and it took a lot of effort for light to get in. The tied up person stared at Aunt Thirteen, constantly calling out to her.


    This person''s appearance could be considered delicate and pretty. If placed in a building, it would be rather ordinary. However, his eyes were as bright as the stars, and they even had a wild and unruly look.


    When Cheng Yuan smiled, Aunt Thirteen knew that it was a success. She immediately let out a sigh of relief in her heart.


    "Bring him to my room. That''s right, don''t use any medicine!"


    This was exactly what he liked. Although this man wasn''t as good-looking as the little rich kid, his eyes were the same, making people want to conquer him.


    "Wuwuwu!"

 C130

    "Hey, why are you still calling out like that? Don''t you know who our young master is? He''s the son of an established family, and if you follow him, you''ll get all the food and drinks that you want. Are you not willing!?"


    Yao Shunzi didn''t have much interest in this man''s appearance. What he liked the most was that sort of gentleness. For example, he liked a man like Young Master Lian.


    He didn''t know why his young master would like something like this.


    Thirteen''s mother specifically washed the man and changed his clothes. Of course, they were tied up the entire time.


    When it was delivered to Cheng Yuan''s room, he was already growing impatient.


    When he saw the man''s face, Cheng Yuan''s eyes lit up. He didn''t see it clearly in the woodshed and only felt that the man was pretty. He felt that the man''s face was exquisite, especially his eyes.


    "Hurry and untie this daddy! Do you know who this daddy is!?" "My dad is the new county magistrate of Linshui County!"


    Originally, he thought that if he brought out his father, these people would be afraid. In the end, that person laughed instead.


    "You also didn''t ask around in Linshui County. Besides the county governor, who else have I been afraid of!"


    Even when the county magistrate was present, Cheng Yuan still had to bow his head and bow to him.


    "Let''s not talk about this anymore, little beauty. Let me, the young noble, properly love you!"


    Cheng Yuan chuckled and rushed forward.


    Early in the morning, before Jin Weiwei had woken up, she heard someone knocking on the door.


    Opening the door, he found that it was the son of a rich man.


    Rubbing her somewhat dry eyes, Jin Weiwei said, "There''s no need to open the door for the next two days. You don''t need to wake up so early."


    "Here."


    It was still the same short sentence, but a bag appeared in front of him. It seemed heavy, and there was probably a lot of silver inside.


    He took it and opened it. The silver light blinded Jin Weiwei''s eyes. She then took one out and read it.


    Jin Weiwei felt very nervous. "You, did you go to rob people?"


    Otherwise, where else would he get so much money?


    Little Fugui''s mouth twitched a little, and his face split in two as he shook his head.


    "I earned it last night."


    "Right channel?"


    Jin Weiwei asked doubtfully. With this little rich kid''s introverted personality, it''ll be great if he didn''t lose money. Are you kidding her?


    Little Fugui lowered his head and thought for a moment. Last night, he and Thirteen of the Elegant Wind Pavilion had exchanged money, so it should be counted on.


    Then, he nodded without hesitation.


    Jin Weiwei nodded. Although the little rich girl was introverted, she still trusted her character.


    Taking the pouch, he took out a silver ingot and gave it to little Fugui, saying, "This is for you to get the change."


    Xiao Fugui took it over and looked towards the horizon, saying softly, "Soon."


    "Hmm? What did you say? "


    Jin Weiwei was curious. What did little Fugui say? What''s coming?


    Xiao Fugui looked back at him with a calm expression, "I''ll head back to my room first."


    Seeing this, Jin Weiwei was a little confused as she held the silver in her hand. Why was today''s little rich kid so strange?


    "Ouch!" "My daughter, is this silver?"


    Jin Dabao sauntered over to Jin Weiwei, and stretched out his hand to snatch the bag that she was holding.


    Jin Weiwei frowned from the pungent smell of alcohol. She moved the bag to the back and said coldly, "Are you seeing things?"


    He then quickly returned to the house, chanted the chant and put the silver into the space.


    Jin Dabao rushed in, "Impossible, what I just saw was silver!"


    As he said this, he grabbed Jin Weiwei''s hand, but there was nothing there. He couldn''t help rubbing his eyes. He was seeing things!


    "Did you hide the silver?"


    Just as Jin Dabao finished his sentence, his shoulder suddenly felt heavy. He turned around and realized it was the son of the rich boy who had yet to return to his room.


    "Who ¡­" "I, I''m seeing things, I''m drunk, I''m going back to my room."


    Jin Dabao''s eyes widened when he saw that it was a little rich kid. He trembled as he finished saying a few words, then quickly ran away.


    "Puchi ¡­" "You''re amazing."


    Upon seeing Jin Dabao''s cowardly look, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but laugh out loud. She raised her head and smiled brilliantly at Xiao Fugui.


    Under the intense request of the son of the rich and powerful, the Jin family meat shop was opened for business today. Although the business was different from before, with the old reputation there, it was not that bad.


    What made Jin Weiwei curious was that the whole morning had passed, and no one had come to cause trouble. If this had happened before, then the people who had come to cause trouble would have already started.


    At this moment, the Cheng family was overwhelmed with anxiety. Cheng Yuan was beaten into a pulp and sent back home. The Old Master''s heart ached so much that he finally stopped being sick and appeared again.


    Cheng Yu had been free these two days, sitting at home writing poems and painting. He didn''t seem angry at all that his wealth had been stolen.


    "Young master, it''s bad! Young master Yuan has been beaten up!"


    Wang Mu''s anxious voice came from outside the door. Ever since Cheng''s restaurant under Cheng Yu had been given to Cheng Yuan to manage, Wang Mu had been paying special attention to matters outside the house. Since the young master wasn''t paying attention, he had to be careful.


    Beated?


    Putting down the brush in his hand, Cheng Yu looked at Wang Mu, who had just entered the room, and asked, "Who beat him up?"


    "I don''t know. The Old Master has invited you to the front courtyard."


    Wang Mu was breathing heavily. There was no trace of anxiety on his face. On the contrary, he was gloating. Cheng Yuan had been acting cocky for so long, it was exactly what he deserved!


    In the front yard.


    The Old Master''s beard and hair were all white, but he was still full of energy. At this moment, his face was full of the marks of time, so anxious that it was almost piled up together.


    "You''ve all been sitting here for a long time, think of a way!"


    The Old Master kept stabbing at the cane in his hand, as if he wanted to poke a hole in the ground.


    The Cheng family''s patriarchs looked at each other, then Cheng Hu gave Cheng Kui a look. Cheng Kui was someone who could not hold in his anger.


    "Big brother, Cheng Yuan is the son of the county magistrate, what can we do about it?"


    Last time, Cheng Yuan said that they were just a side branch. Why did he think of them as soon as something happened?


    "In my opinion, Cheng Yuan has to be punished. Otherwise, how can I explain this to the son of a county magistrate?"


    If he had known earlier, even though the county magistrate was just a minor official, he was backed by the capital''s Xu family. The current empress was a member of the Xu family.


    Furthermore, the county magistrate Xu Ziqi was a junior released by the Xu family to train himself. Cheng Yuan had even provoked his most beloved son. Wasn''t that just courting death?


    "Cheng Feng, what method do you have?"


    The Old Master habitually turned his gaze towards Cheng Feng, who also shook his head, "If Old Master is willing to offend the Xu family, there are many methods."


    Even if he let Cheng Yuan go, he still understood the seriousness of the situation. He couldn''t throw his entire family into the fray.


    "Cheng Yu?"


    The Old Master frowned, looking at Cheng Yu, who was still deep in thought.


    Cheng Yu finally raised his head and stood up, bowing to the Old Master.


    "Cousin Yuan, can I ask how did you offend him?"


    His voice was neither cold nor indifferent, but the Old Master could always see a hint of alienation in it.


    How did he offend her?


    He really did not know about this. When he brought it back, he was covered in blood and he was extremely worried.


    Cheng Yu knew that the old man didn''t know the answer the moment he saw the old man. His face turned cold as he said, "Why don''t you call out Cousin Cheng Yuan and ask him about it?"

 C131

    "This is a good move. You have to know how to offend him before you know how to deal with him."


    Cheng Yuan smiled. His shrewd and scheming eyes were filled with the interest of watching a good show. Even if Cheng Yuan did not receive any useful punishment, they were still willing to see Cheng Yuan make a fool of himself.


    The Old Master''s face was cold, clearly unhappy. However, there was nothing he could do, so he could only send someone to call the people at Cheng Yuan''s side.


    "Greetings, Old Master ¡­"


    When he reached the main hall, Yao Shunzi''s body trembled and he kowtowed. He raised his head and saw that his face was swollen like a pig''s head, his eyes almost disappearing from sight.


    "Tell me, how did Young Master Yuan offend him?"


    Cheng Kui was the first to speak, almost unable to conceal the smile on his face.


    Cheng Yu looked calmly at Yao Shunzi. He didn''t mind if the Old Master managed the restaurant, because he knew Cheng Yuan wouldn''t be able to manage it for long. Perhaps he might cause trouble for the Old Master, but he didn''t expect this to happen so soon.


    "Young master..." "The young master, he ¡­"


    Yao Shunzi covered his face, dodging the question. How could he tell the Old Master about this? Could it be that young master slept her down, so she came here to seek revenge?


    "What exactly happened!?" "Speak!"


    Seeing how Yao Shunzi was hesitating, without anyone reminding him, the Old Master knew that this would not be an easy task.


    "Last night, young master was bored, and now he went to the Elegant Wind Pavilion to look for fun. Thirteen''s mother recommended an unopened servant to young master. Who, who knew he was the son of the county magistrate ¡­"


    Yao Shunzi''s voice grew softer and softer, because he saw that the faces of everyone present had changed. At this point, it could be said that he had kicked an iron board.


    "Foolish! What a muddle! Is the Xu family someone you can afford to offend!? The Crown Prince Xu was the brother of the present empress! If you anger his son, you won''t want to live anymore! "


    Even without Cheng Feng and Cheng Kui''s order, the Old Master himself had already started cursing. No matter how much he doted on Cheng Yuan, he knew how serious this matter was.


    The entire hall was silent for a while, then the Old Master sighed, "Cheng Yuan will definitely be punished, but we still have to solve this problem first, don''t you think?"


    The Old Master had already lowered his posture a bit. Everyone shut their mouths, each one frowning.


    Even Cheng Hukui and Liu Suifeng, who were watching the show just now, stopped talking and started to frown.


    "If they really are looking for trouble, do you think you can escape?"


    The Old Master was not lightly angered and couldn''t help but turn his gaze towards Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu was the most promising junior of the Xu family. Normally, he was the most intelligent.


    "Cheng Yu, do you have a good idea?"


    Cheng Yu smiled lightly and shook his head. Cheng Yuan was courting death, so he had no choice.


    "Cheng Feng?"


    The father and son duo shook their heads in the same way.


    "You must have a way. Don''t forget, back then ¡­"


    "I have an idea!"


    Perhaps the Old Master was really angry, and he had actually brought up the matter himself. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu suddenly stood up, but her face was frighteningly cold.


    The Old Master suddenly had a bad premonition.


    "I have a way, but I have a request."


    He did not want to be held back by such a ridiculous accusation!


    "Old Master, after this, let''s split up!"


    "Impossible!"


    The Old Master rejected it without even thinking. He was still here, how could he be separated?


    He knew Cheng Yuan''s ability very well. He had to leave him with enough family property before he died, or else this child would suffer!


    Everyone could see Cheng Yu''s ability. Even if he couldn''t get a single share of the property, he could still turn the tables. Cheng Yu could still earn a large portion of the wealth, but that was not the case.


    "After that, I won''t care about Cheng Yuan anymore."


    Seemingly expecting the Old Master to say this, Cheng Yu''s face was indifferent, not even angry.


    Cheng Feng''s face was filled with disbelief. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.


    "Cheng Yu, I will not care about what happened back then. Don''t go overboard!"


    The old grandpa''s many years of accumulation still existed, so these two things were impossible in his eyes. Moreover, Cheng Feng and his son did not save him and made him lose his most beloved son. Wasn''t there a little guilt in his heart?


    "That year? At that time, the family that was formed was just a small family. How do you want us to save them and bring the entire family together? "


    Cheng Yu was clearly excited. In the end, Cheng Feng could not sit still any longer and hurried over to pull Cheng Yu over. "Stop talking nonsense!"


    "Father! Haven''t you thought about it in years? We can''t do anything about what happened that year. Is this really our fault? If he was wrong, was the Old Master not wrong? He was also present at the scene back then, so why didn''t he save his own son? "


    Cheng Yu asked, and the Old Master also fell silent, but his expression was dark and uncertain.


    The hall fell silent.


    "I have a way to save Cheng Yuan, but I need you to consider my request. Cheng Yu isn''t feeling well, so I''ll take my leave first."


    Cheng Yu stood up and left after saying these cold words.


    * *


    At the Jin family meat shop.


    By the end of the night, the business had already recovered a bit. The only thing that made Jin Weiwei uneasy was that she was afraid of people coming to cause trouble for her.


    But nothing happened until night, and she felt a little better.


    After the cooking was done, the three of them gathered around to eat. Xiao Fugui''s eyes stared at Jin Weiwei.


    "Boss, what''s wrong?"


    He had already seen the meat in Jin Weiwei''s chopsticks fall a few times.


    When Jin Weiwei came back to her senses, she saw the two people looking at her strangely. She couldn''t help but blink and laugh, "I''m just trying to figure out how to make money. Don''t worry, it''s nothing."


    Little Fugui''s illness couldn''t wait. She had been too preoccupied with her thoughts just now, so she lifted her eyes to look at him. Although the worry in her eyes was faint, she could still feel it.


    "In two days, there will be a caravan with strange goods."


    Little Fugui spoke a long string of words, which was hard to come by.


    Rare goods store?


    Jin Weiwei searched in her mind and found that it was the biggest grocery store in Lishui County. This grocery store was different from other grocery stores; they would accept all the food inside, and most importantly, they also had the qualifications to go to sea or go to the desert to do business.


    That''s right!


    She couldn''t get the qualification to go to sea right now, but she could cooperate with others!


    She did! Right?


    "Little Fugui, you''re really my gospel!"


    Jin Weiwei beamed with joy as she stuffed a piece of meat into his eyes. Seeing the look in his eyes, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.


    As for Jin Weiwei, she was also thinking about how she should work with the shopkeeper of the Wonder Merchant House tomorrow.


    The next day.


    Jin Weiwei woke up early in the morning and took little Fugui to the strange goods house. However, Jin Weiwei didn''t go in first, but stayed by the door to observe for a while.


    She found that this strange place was selling goods and pastries from the West.


    Although there were also people from the Central Plains, there were only a few.

 C132

    "Dear customer, what can I do for you?"


    The waiter was a pleasant-looking person, his first impression on others was very good.


    Ye Zichen swept his gaze across the shop. The glazed, transparent cup and sparkling light made the entire room look exceptionally exquisite.


    Jin Weiwei sighed to herself. Although these things were common in modern times, they were definitely luxury goods in ancient times.


    Thinking of this, Jin Weiwei felt somewhat apprehensive. She wondered if the shopkeeper would be able to cooperate with her if she came so recklessly.


    With a perturbed mood, Jin Weiwei asked, "May I ask if your owner is here?"


    "What business do you have with my manager?"


    The waiter had some doubts. Very few people would ask the shopkeeper the first thing, unless they were looking for cooperation.


    "I''d like to talk business with him."


    It''s as if I''m not looking for you. I hope I can look for someone else.


    But only Jin Weiwei knew that she was extremely nervous.


    Little Fugui secretly pinched Jin Weiwei''s sweating hand. Yesterday, he had come to look around and found that the items in the treasure house were almost all ordinary items. He guessed that all of the items here should be from the sea.


    And ships usually have ice for storing things ¡­ Xiao Fugui''s brows furrowed, how could he remember these things?


    There seemed to be some sort of image flashing through his mind. However, after a moment of thought, he was unable to recall anything.


    "Doing business? I don''t know when our shopkeeper will come back, would you like to come back next time, esteemed guest? "


    When Jin Weiwei said that she wanted to negotiate, this waiter didn''t mock her because of her clothing. On the contrary, he had a very sincere expression on his face.


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei was disappointed. She didn''t expect to hear a steady voice from outside the door.


    "This lady doesn''t know what she wants to cooperate with my Wonder Merchant House for?"


    Due to the fact that Jin Weiwei''s plate was made of a woman''s hair, Zhou Yunsheng called her Madam. When Jin Weiwei turned around, she was shocked. Jin Weiwei was simply too young.


    In a split-second, Zhou Yunsheng, who had been in the mall for a long time, reorganized his expression.


    While Zhou Yunsheng was secretly sizing up Jin Weiwei, Jin Weiwei was also sizing up Zhou Yunsheng.


    The person in front of him was refined and refined, with a faint smile on his face. He gave off a very comfortable feeling, like a typical Confucian businessman.


    Jin Weiwei instantly calmed down and nodded at Zhou Yunsheng.


    "Hello, shopkeeper. I have a business matter to discuss with you. Do you have time?"


    "Madam, you''re too kind. Please come upstairs."


    Zhou Yunsheng saw the bag in Jin Weiwei''s hand the moment he entered the room. His gaze then shifted to little rich and powerful son. This person''s aura gave him a sense of sharpness that could not be ignored. His brow was filled with a noble air.


    He was very familiar with this kind of temperament. When he was discussing business matters with his master in the capital, he had met such a person. It was just that this person was either rich or noble ¡­


    "May I know the identity of this young master?"


    "This is my husband."


    Jin Weiwei introduced him with a smile.


    Xiao Fugui raised his eyes to look at him. The icy coldness emanating from his bones caused Zhou Yunsheng to involuntarily tremble in fear. Then, he retracted his gaze.


    "May I ask what madam wishes to cooperate with me?"


    Once she entered the familiar mode, Jin Weiwei quickly and easily completed her task.


    "Shopkeeper, have you eaten the sausage from Jin family''s butcher''s shop?"


    She decided to slowly get into the main topic. If she were to quickly enter, it would be very disadvantageous for her.


    "Sausages from the Jin family butcher''s shop... This old man has never eaten before, but I''ve always heard people beside me mention it. "


    Zhou Yunsheng stroked his beard and thought about it for a long time. Finally, he recalled that his wife had always been whispering in his ears.


    However, he had a lot of social contacts and did not eat at home often, so he did not pay much attention to his wife''s words.


    "Could it be that you two are the owners of the Jin family''s meat shop?"


    Zhou Yunsheng glanced at the two of them. Although Jin Weiwei was wearing simple clothes, her entire body was exuding a confident light. That kind of indifferent temperament was not something a normal woman would have.


    The man beside her was even more intriguing. His cold aura alone was enough to intimidate a lot of people.


    "That''s right. Seeing that the shopkeeper has never tried the sausages from the Jin family''s butcher shop, why don''t you try the sausage, and then we can continue talking?"


    So many people said the sausages she made were delicious. If this shopkeeper said no, either it was because he didn''t want to work with her, or because his taste was different.


    "Alright."


    Zhou Yunsheng was also a straightforward person. No matter how good his words were, he did not want things to become tough.


    Jin Weiwei took the sausage out of the bag she brought with her and put a small piece on a plate.


    "Madam, you''ve even prepared the plates and chopsticks. It seems that you''re completely sincere."


    Looking at the plate and chopsticks that Jin Weiwei had brought out, Zhou Yunsheng''s face was filled with smiles. This couple knew the rules very well. From another direction, it could be said that they were very confident in their own belongings.


    He picked up the piece of brown-red sausage and chewed it twice. Zhou Yunsheng was surprised. The sausage was crispy and chewy. Not only was it meaty, it also had a tender texture. It was very tasty.


    Jin Weiwei had been staring at Zhou Yunsheng''s face the entire time. Other than the initial flash of surprise from her eyes, she did not see any other expression.


    However, that was enough. If this shopkeeper was very satisfied, then he would be at a disadvantage when negotiating with her.


    "I wonder if storekeeper is satisfied?"


    Jin Weiwei asked with a smile.


    "How would you like to cooperate with the Wonder House?"


    Zhou Yunsheng smiled and expressed his intention.


    "To be honest, I found the shopkeeper to do business so that I could earn money to treat my illness. Thus, I want to split the profits."


    Jin Weiwei had a sincere expression on her face. When her gaze turned to little Fugui, Zhou Yunsheng saw love.


    "Divide?" May I ask how much percent madam wants? "


    Zhou Yunsheng looked at Jin Weiwei with even more satisfaction. There were only a few people who were as honest as Jin Weiwei this year.


    "40%."


    Jin Weiwei extended four fingers with a calm expression on her face. In reality, she was panicking again. She wanted 40%, so she was completely reserving the chance to bargain with Zhou Yunsheng.


    Seeing this, Zhou Yunsheng shook his head. He stroked his beard and thought for a while before saying, "I can see that Madame is a straightforward person. I, Zhou Yunsheng, am not long-winded. If I can''t, then this old man has no other choice. "


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei let out a breath. This was what she wanted.


    "Shopkeeper Zhou is also a straightforward person. If it''s 30%, then 30%. How about we set up a document?"


    "Alright."


    Coming out of the strange store, Jin Weiwei felt that the sky outside was so beautiful. Just now, Shopkeeper Zhou had directly paid the deposit of one hundred taels of silver for ten baskets of sausages.


    This money was equivalent to her monthly income in the past, and didn''t include all sorts of expenses. Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but sigh; going to sea really was a good way to earn money!

 C133

    "Hey, look at those clouds on the horizon. Do they look like you?"


    Suddenly, Jin Weiwei stopped and pulled Fugui along as she pointed to the horizon with a joyful expression on her face.


    Little Fugui followed her finger and saw a white cloud that looked like a human face floating around. It didn''t look like him, but she said that it resembled him.


    Jin Weiwei was very happy today. She didn''t care what the little rich kid thought. She said it was like, like.


    However, no matter how happy she was, she still had to get down to business. Shopkeeper Zhou had ordered a hundred baskets of sausages from her, and the next batch of rare goods would be delivered half a month later.


    Therefore, she wanted to drive out a hundred baskets of sausages within half a month.


    "Tell me, why don''t these people from Cheng Yuan come looking for trouble?"


    She wasn''t used to not coming at all.


    "Aiyo, boss, I thought you were staring at something outside. "So that''s what happened. I heard Cheng Yuan offended someone."


    Tao Xiaoqing wiped the shop''s chopping board and jogged over to say.


    "You offended someone? Is there anyone in Lishui County that he dares not offend? "


    Jin Weiwei raised her eyebrows. In Linshui County, this Cheng family was the second largest, the one who could cover the sky with one hand. How could she be afraid of them? Did he offend the county?


    "I heard that he offended the son of the new county magistrate. I heard that he has quite the background. Even the Cheng family can''t afford to offend him!"


    Tao Xiaoqing gossiped to himself. This was what he had heard when he went out to investigate.


    "Then who is behind the county magistrate?"


    "I don''t know about that. However, there must be a lot of people that can make the Cheng family unable to offend them."


    Tao Xiaoqing went back to wiping the chopping board in his hands. He only heard that much.


    "Young Master, Young Master, we''ve found the information."


    Wang Mu fiercely pushed open the door and entered. He didn''t even have the time to catch his breath.


    Cheng Yu looked at him with a frown, while Wang Mu quickly stood up.


    "Young master, aren''t I in a hurry? "You''re not following the rules."


    "Enough, how did Xu Ziqi''s son get to the Feng Ya Pavilion?"


    Cheng Yu lowered his head and added a few strokes to the drawing on the table. He did not believe that Xu Qizi''s son would sell him to the Elegant Wind Pavilion.


    "There''s something strange about this, the Thirteenth Mother of the Elegant Pavilion said that Xu Yu was sold into her building by someone else. It''s said that she couldn''t see that person''s face, but that person said very little and only told her that Xu Yu Xu was a slave that escaped from another family, and the reason was that her master took a fancy to him."


    There were many such things in the south, so Aunt Thirteen didn''t suspect them and spent fifty taels to buy them.


    "This is interesting, how could anyone dare to sell a county magistrate''s son?"


    Aunt Thirteen also said that that person spoke very little ¡­


    This made him think of the man beside Jin Weiwei. He didn''t talk much, but the look in his eyes always made him feel afraid.


    "Go investigate again. Who did you offend a few days before the incident with Cheng Yuan?"


    "Young master, you mean to say ¡­ Is someone planning this? "


    Wang Mu was one of Cheng Yu''s men. If he wasn''t smart, he wouldn''t have been put by his side.


    "Go and check."


    Cheng Yu faintly smiled. He just wanted to see if it was her doing. Again and again, it would always surprise him.


    Having solved the big problem that was Cheng Yuan''s heart, Jin Weiwei began to work hard with her men. Now, this was a treasure in her heart.


    Who knew that at this moment, there would suddenly be a knock on the door.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t get away, so she could only shout at the top of her lungs, "Who is it!"


    After waiting for a long time and not getting a response from someone who knocked on the door, Jin Weiwei''s heart suddenly became alert. Could it be that Cheng Yuan had come to cause trouble?


    With this thought, the little rich kid on the other side had already opened the door. At a glance, it was actually Wang Mu, who was next to Cheng Yu.


    Upon seeing Jin Weiwei, Wang Mu''s face was full of smiles as he said, "Lady Jin, my family''s Young Master invites you in."


    Suddenly, Jin Weiwei felt a chill run down her spine. She looked to the side and saw that the little rich kid''s expression was a bit ugly.


    That''s right, the last time Xiao Fugui saw Cheng Yu, he didn''t look too happy.


    Jin Weiwei decided to be a good wife and mother.


    "May I know what the matter is for your young master?"


    "Lady Jin will know once she goes. Oh, right, my young master even invited this young master."


    Wang Mu turned to the little rich kid and was on guard. Just now, he clearly felt that after he finished speaking, the man''s expression changed, as if he was going to eat him.


    "..." "Okay, I wonder where it is?"


    After hesitating for a little while, Jin Weiwei agreed. She actually wanted to know what was going on with Cheng Yuan as well.


    Xiao Fugui''s face looked even worse.


    Jin Weiwei didn''t know why he was so angry, but she didn''t know much about the little rich and rich anyway.


    First level Xuan.


    Jin Weiwei stood in front of the restaurant and savored this elegant name. She discovered that all the businesses were concentrated on one street of Changning Street. The other shops all had their own unique features.


    For example, this store seemed to be a branch from Beijing.


    "It''s been a long time since we''ve last met. You look even more beautiful now."


    Cheng Yu''s gaze turned towards the door as soon as it rang. Since the last time he saw Jin Weiwei half a month ago, he noticed that her complexion was getting better and even paler by two points.


    Jin Weiwei smiled back politely, "Of course not. Young Master Cheng is still in high spirits."


    Cheng Yu couldn''t help but look at him in the wrong eyes as he felt the intense fluctuations of his son''s aura.


    "Young master is becoming more imposing now."


    Cheng Yu faintly smiled, but there was a tinge of provocation in her eyes. Besides having better skin and some martial arts, what else could possibly catch the eyes of Jin Weiwei?


    Little Fugui looked at him coldly, then sat down across from him.


    Jin Weiwei awkwardly laughed twice and then sat down as well. Why did it feel like smoke was rising between the two of them?


    "I wonder why Sir Cheng is looking for me?"


    She had been very busy recently, but Tao Xiaoqing was still busy inside the store alone.


    "You seem very busy every time you see me."


    Cheng Yu helplessly smiled and poured a cup of tea for Jin Weiwei. Before he could even pass it to her, little Fugui took it over.


    Alright, Jin Weiwei finally realized that this man was jealous!


    She couldn''t help but find it funny. Although it was funny, she still felt that it was a little sweet.


    Cheng Yu''s smile froze on his face. He turned to Jin Weiwei and said, "I heard that my cousin sent someone to your shop to cause trouble two days ago?"


    "Hmm, wasn''t he beaten up by someone?"


    Jin Weiwei was very direct, these kinds of things would usually be discovered by Cheng Yu. There was nothing much to hide, so she asked, "Did Cheng Yuan offend someone? I heard he was hit. "


    She was more concerned about this matter. It would be better if Cheng Yuan was crippled, otherwise she would miss out on her hubby every day!


    "The beating was not light. He offended the county magistrate''s son. However, I''ve checked and found out that the son of the county magistrate was sold to the Elegant Wind Pavilion."


    Cheng Yu looked at Xiao Fugui as if he was pointing a finger, but his expression was as cold as ice, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

 C134

    Faced with this inexplicable atmosphere, Jin Weiwei''s smile almost froze. She wanted to quickly end it.


    "I wonder why Sir Cheng has called me here today?"


    Cheng Yu laughed, "It''s nothing. I just came back from the capital, so I wanted to meet with you, an old friend. I also wanted to ask you about that cousin of mine."


    As she said this, Cheng Yu''s eyes were always on little rich and precious little girl. No matter how silly Jin Weiwei was, she could tell that something wasn''t right.


    He turned to look at the little rich kid and thought about the bag of silver he had given her. He had a guess.


    "Cheng Yuan only got himself into some trouble. Who would''ve thought that before I even made my move, he would be taken care of by someone else? What a pity."


    Jin Weiwei''s face was filled with regret and an indescribable cuteness.


    However, these words also reminded Cheng Yu that she, Jin Weiwei, had never done such a thing.


    Even if it was her doing, she wouldn''t admit it. Cheng Yu had his own family to deal with, and perhaps other forces to fight against. But she didn''t, so she didn''t take any risks.


    Cheng Yu was silent. Looking at the bright eyes of Jin Weiwei, he knew what she meant.


    The meal ended in a sparse conversation. Jin Weiwei slowly walked down the street with little rich kids, looking at the distant clouds and enjoying the gentle breeze.


    Taking advantage of the cozy situation, Jin Weiwei approached the little rich kid and asked in a low voice, "So you were the one who did the thing with Cheng Yuan?"


    Xiao Fugui looked down at her, and extended his hand to take her hand. He looked up at the clouds in the sky and nodded his head lightly.


    "Then... Then did you sell the money you gave me to Xu Boxu? "


    She had carefully asked about what had happened at the dinner table, and when Cheng Yu said that the person selling Xu Huixu was very quiet, she knew that it was the little rich kid.


    "That Xu Yu Xi is actually quite innocent..."


    Jin Weiwei tried to sound out the situation. She knew that this little rich kid had his own way of doing things, but no matter how she looked at it, this little rich kid had gone too far.


    Hearing that, little Fugui pulled her hand tighter and turned around to look at her. There seemed to be something flashing in the depths of her eyes.


    "He''s not a good man."


    When he found Xu Taoxi, this person was bullying a lady.


    Jin Weiwei blinked and stood up all of a sudden. The little rich kid was flashing his two little canines adorably. That made her feel relieved. She was afraid that this little rich kid would hurt others for her own benefits.


    After about half an hour, the two finally returned to the butcher''s shop.


    As soon as he entered the door, he heard the bleating of sheep and pigs in the sheepfold and the pigpen.


    "Xiaoqing, did you feed the sheep and pigs?"


    This was the foundation of the butcher''s shop, and he could not be careless.


    "Aiya, boss, I was busy making sausages and forgot about this matter. I''ll feed them now."


    Tao Xiaoqing came running out from the sausage making area. His hands were still covered in the meat foam, and the sweat on his forehead was flowing like big beans. At a glance, he was extremely busy.


    Jin Weiwei hastily waved her hand. "No need, you can make sausages. I''ll be with little Fugui."


    Aiyo, she just went out for a short trip and so many things happened. As expected, people can''t be too careless.


    "Wait, this is the roast chicken and steamed buns your rich brother and I bought on the street. Come over and eat, don''t tire your body out."


    She looked down and saw the oilskin bag in the hands of the little rich guy. Jin Weiwei was so upset that she almost forgot about it. Tao Xiaoqing had been chasing sausages all afternoon, so he must have forgotten to eat.


    "Thank you, boss."


    When he heard that there was meat, Tao Xiaoqing''s whole body felt lighter.


    The three of them worked until very late before going to bed. After Jin Weiwei washed up, she wanted to turn around and sleep immediately. However, after she had showered, she felt refreshed.


    She entered the space to take a look. It had been a long time since she last entered, so she didn''t know if the rice she sprinkled was ripe yet.


    With a thought in his mind, a door appeared on the wall, and Jin Weiwei walked in.


    As soon as they entered the space, Jin Weiwei was surrounded by the warm sunlight. She adapted to the light for a while before opening her eyes. She discovered that the grass under the sunlight was lush green. Ai! There were even a few stalks of ripe rice!


    She remembered that she didn''t spread it the last time she came in to collect it! Could it be that it had been left in the ground for a long time?


    In order to not waste any energy, Jin Weiwei rubbed the skin off all the stalks of rice that had grown into rice. In order to not waste any energy, Jin Weiwei rubbed all the stalks of rice that had grown into all the stalks of rice that had grown out of all the stalks of rice.


    After leaving the space, Jin Weiwei became even more spirited. She laid on the bed and looked at the ceiling in boredom. First, she cooperated with the shopkeeper of the Wonder Merchant House, and then there was the problem with Cheng Yuan.


    Thinking of this, her good days were about to come, and she felt a little excited.


    Right ¡­


    In the past, she was afraid that someone else would discover the secret of the space, so she didn''t dare sell it. But the goods of the treasure house had to go to sea, so even if the people there thought that her rice was delicious, they would only know that it came from the Central Plains.


    This way, she wouldn''t have to worry about space being exposed, but if she worked with Shopkeeper Zhou, they would need to produce it in bulk. When that time came, she definitely wouldn''t be able to grow all of it in space, so she had to think of a way.


    In order to force Cheng Yu to help him, the Old Master also took away the few shops under Cheng Yu''s name. Cheng Yu was not angry, so he handed them over obediently.


    However, he had opened another restaurant in Lin Shui County. It was a private restaurant. The Old Master was so angry that he was fuming, but there was nothing he could do.


    Today, the Old Master was in a hurry when the gatekeeper came to report.


    "This is bad!" Old Master, the Xu County''s officials have come to take him away! "


    Hearing this, the Old Master staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the servant beside him reacted quickly and stopped him.


    "Quick, help me out."


    The Old Master''s face was ashen. At this moment, he had the bearing of an old man.


    "Aiyo, Xu County''s Cheng. This, this..." What did my grandson do? "


    Cheng Yuan had been beaten up by Xu Xiuxu two days ago, so he thought that even if the county magistrate wanted to pursue the matter, it wouldn''t be too quick.


    After all, even a man wouldn''t talk about such matters. However, he didn''t expect the county magistrate to arrive so soon. Could it be that he didn''t care about his son''s reputation anymore?


    Unexpectedly, Xu Ziqi didn''t give the Old Master any face. He sneered, "Cheng Yuan has been bullying his neighbors all day long. Now that someone is here to sue him, as Lin Shui county''s father and mother, I naturally have to come for him!"


    Who wouldn''t listen to his words? If it was someone else, the Old Master wouldn''t care. The most precious thing was Cheng Yuan!


    "Mr Xu, that grandson of mine is too ignorant. I''ll definitely punish him severely. Look ¡­"


    As he spoke, he stuffed the silver notes into Xu Ziqi''s phone.


    Xu Ziqi''s face darkened. He used a voice that only two people could hear: "Your son bullied my son! Would I let him off that easily? "

 C135

    The Old Master''s heart turned cold as he fainted.


    "Jadeite!" Hurry and save Cheng Yuan, he was taken away by the Xu County Magistrate. "


    The Old Master seemed to have aged quite a bit in an instant. Cheng Yu only looked at him with a frown, separated by a great distance.


    He did not have much relationship with the Old Master, and when he was young, he had been taught by his father to behave respectfully, even more so respecting his elders. It was far from being as mischievous and mischievous as Cheng Yuan being favored by the Old Master.


    "I wonder if the Old Master can consider this request."


    The Cheng family''s wealth slowly grew in the hands of the Old Master. In the hands of Cheng Yu, they had climbed up to a higher level.


    The old man''s weak appearance was instantly replaced with anger, his eyes wide open.


    "Yu Cheng!"


    "If the Old Master cannot agree to Cheng Yu''s request, then Cheng Yu can only hug the Cheng family and not save Cheng Yuan."


    Cheng Yu''s face was expressionless and his eyes were cold. He had to distance himself from Cheng Yuan today, otherwise how could he escape this calamity in the future?


    "..." "Alright, I promise you!"


    The Old Master sat up with the help of a maidservant, but his expression was frighteningly cold.


    At most, he would just give more money to Cheng Yuan in the future. If Cheng Yu didn''t grow up in front of him, how would she care about him?


    Cheng Yu looked up, he knew that the Old Master had a plan in mind, but so what?


    Even if the Old Master gave Cheng Yuan his entire fortune, would he still be able to beat him?


    At that time, the Cheng family wouldn''t even need him to do anything, they would just drag Cheng Yuan down.


    "Yo, didn''t you say you would stick to your word in Linshui County?" Why, there was also a day like today! "


    The one who spoke was Xu Yu Xi, he looked to be around 189 years of age, the allure between his eyebrows was indeed alluring, but his long eyes were filled with malice.


    Xu Huai gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear Cheng Yuan apart to vent his anger. The wound behind him had not healed yet, this was his humiliation as a man, he had to make Cheng Yuan taste it again to vent his anger.


    Cheng Yuan''s face was a little better, and his eyes could barely open.


    Cheng Yuan''s expression changed when he saw the person in front of him. There was a trace of fear on his face.


    "Sir Xu, I was blind that night. You can do whatever you want to me. Please spare me. I will give you all the money from my family!"


    Cheng Yuan still remembered how Xu Yu Xi ran and how he got people to beat him up, not to mention that he openly bullied him, but this Xu Yu Xi actually blocked him in the alley and no one passed him, even if he yelled his throat out, no one would.


    He was a sinister person that he could not afford to offend.


    "Heh, the Wan Cheng family''s fortune? Even if you add up your entire family background, you still wouldn''t be able to make it to the bottom of my Xu family. Don''t you like men? I''ve found a lot of things today, and they''ll definitely make you feel really good in a bit. "


    Xu Yu laughed and patted Cheng Yuan''s pig-like face with the fan in his hand. In the end, he just threw the fan away and wiped his hands.


    "Alright, give him some medicine, right?" Just keep your breath when you come out. "


    In order to ''serve'' Cheng Yuan, he had to expend a great deal of effort to find so many people with special fetishes.


    After thinking for a long time, Jin Weiwei decided to buy a piece of land close to Lishui County.


    Today, she only had two baskets of sausages left. She hadn''t finished her morning porridge made with rice and brought it out at noon. She made a few more dishes and some steamed buns and it was all over.


    "Boss, what kind of rice is this porridge? It tastes so good, like it was made by a god. "


    Tao Xiaoqing pouted as he stared at the pot in front of him.


    Jin Weiwei blinked and laughed, "It''s made from ordinary rice. It''s not as delicious as you said."


    As she spoke, she actually felt a little guilty. After all, she hadn''t brought it out for everyone to use. Now she was truly afraid of exposing herself.


    Little Fugui looked at her with doubt in his eyes. It was as if anything she took out would taste good, but he had never seen her out today.


    Facing their gazes, Jin Weiwei felt very pressured. She thought, it''s best not to take out that pomegranate, in case these two people start to suspect that she couldn''t find a suitable excuse!


    "Little Fugui, why don''t you accompany me to Linshui County this afternoon to see if anyone is selling their land?"


    Jin Weiwei calculated the amount of money she had saved up. Plus, she had four to five hundred taels of silver on her phone. It was enough to buy a small manor.


    Sigh! That''s right!


    She could buy a manor with a field. That way, she wouldn''t have to worry about her secret being exposed.


    Well, so be it.


    Jin Weiwei heroically wrapped up a carriage, mainly to the far outskirts of the city. Moreover, she was going to buy a manor, so it seemed that she had to be richer.


    Not only had she invited people from the Dental Hall, she had even specially pulled little rich and rich children to change into better clothes.


    "Madam, it''s here. This manor can''t be considered big. The original owner wanted to move to the city, so he sold it."


    Jin Weiwei nodded expressionlessly. It was indeed different for professionals, after all, it was better than walking around with little rich kids.


    "There aren''t many farmers on this farm, because it was hired by the original owner. When I heard that the boss was leaving, I think they all left. Look, there are fields over there, wheat growing, corn growing, and so on."


    Pointing to a terrace, he said, "That is a medicinal field. The original owner was selling medicine and had planted a lot of flowers, but now there is no more. Oh, right, there is a spring up there. Does Madame want to take a look?"


    The moment she heard there was spring water, Jin Weiwei''s eyes instantly lit up. Spring water? She said that her space was extremely good and she always felt like she was lacking something. So it was because of the lack of water.


    "Let''s go take a look."


    If there really was a spring, it would be much more convenient. The herb fields and fields were very close, and there was no need to draw water from other places.


    Jin Weiwei followed Teeth, but didn''t notice that something strange was happening to the little rich guy behind her.


    Why did he feel that this place was so familiar?


    He ¡­ I seem to have seen it in my dreams?


    It seemed that he hadn''t dreamt of that woman covered in blood for a long time.


    "Little Fugui!" "Hurry up and follow."


    When Jin Weiwei reached halfway up the mountain, she realized that little Fugui had disappeared. When she turned around, she was actually standing at the foot of the mountain in a daze.


    Little Fugui finally snapped out of his daze and followed suit.


    At the top of the terraced fields, there was a spring a little way into the woods.


    That sound was jingling, jingling, and very pleasant to listen to. Jin Weiwei circled around the spring two times and found that it came from somewhere else. They were all gathered in a large circle.


    At that moment, Jin Weiwei suddenly had a strange thought. What would happen if she dug out a spring in her space?

 C136

    Jin Weiwei was a very capable person. She decided to go back to the dimension and dig water after making an agreement with Tusk.


    "Madam, take a look at this place. Although this place is small, it is still a beautiful place. What do you want to grow here? Take a look and think about it."


    If it was anyone else, he would have been able to see a satisfied expression on their face.


    However, this little lady Jin was different. Sometimes she revealed a satisfied expression, and sometimes she frowned. Also, the man beside her had a frighteningly cold expression.


    Teeth sighed. It''s not easy for them to do this, but judging from the expressions of others, it''s the hardest thing to do.


    She was still very satisfied with this place. She didn''t know what this little rich kid meant, but she felt that as her husband, this little rich kid still had the right to speak.


    Little Fugui looked at the spring water in a daze, only returning to his senses when Jin Weiwei poked him.


    "Buy it."


    It was different from the past. Little Fugui didn''t even look at Jin Weiwei. His tone of voice sounded like he was giving out orders.


    Jin Weiwei was also satisfied with this place. She couldn''t help but ask, "If I want it, how much would it be?"


    "Aiyo, the former boss left in a hurry. Let me make it cheaper for you. Four hundred liang, how about it?"


    Teeth revealed the cunning look of a merchant, his pair of small eyes rolled around like a small mouse.


    No matter how Jin Weiwei had rolled around in the shopping mall, she was still pretty much half human.


    "Ouch!" Growing medicinal plants depends on the age. I can see that there are only a few fruit trees worth a lot of money in this manor, so even if I buy some food to grow, it will be the beginning of spring next year. Say, is it reasonable for it to be so expensive? "


    Jin Weiwei sneered. You want to screw over her? No way!


    This manor was only the size of two or three football fields. When they came in, the walls were damaged, the surroundings were not even surrounded by mountains, and there was no stream.


    She was willing to bet that the previous family member had sold for at most 300 taels of silver. If she hadn''t been looking at the fields, she wouldn''t have chosen this kind of manor.


    He swallowed his saliva and started sweating profusely, "Oh, Madam, look, the scenery around here is really beautiful. Although there aren''t many fields here, as long as you plant your crops, you will be able to earn a lot next year. "As for that medicinal field, if you don''t want to grow medicinal herbs, you can also plant flowers to earn money. How about this, I''ll make it cheaper for you. Three hundred and eighty silver taels, what do you say?"


    "Three hundred silver."


    Jin Weiwei stretched out three fingers, and those teeth ''faces immediately turned bitter.


    "Madam, I can''t earn that much money. Three hundred and fifty silver taels. If it''s too little, I really won''t sell it."


    Previously, when he saw that their clothes were neither good nor bad, he thought that they were small merchants who had just made money, but who knew that they were this good at haggling?


    Jin Weiwei rolled her eyes twice, revealing her sharp canines. "Deal. Follow the instructions."


    "Little Fugui, why are you so distracted today?"


    Having just lost three hundred and fifty-two dollars, Jin Weiwei, who was feeling heartache, couldn''t help but ask as she turned her head to look at little Fugui in a daze.


    "Nothing, if ¡­"


    Little Fugui raised his head and looked into Jin Weiwei''s eyes. "If I leave you, what will happen to you?"


    Jin Weiwei froze on the spot. She really hadn''t thought about it.


    When she thought about the little rich kid leaving him, she suddenly felt sad. Jin Weiwei swallowed her saliva, "Where are you going? Why didn''t you bring me along? "


    "Just say it."


    Unexpectedly, the little rich kid rubbed her head and laughed it off.


    After a while, Jin Weiwei turned around and seriously looked at little rich and wealthy.


    "You can''t leave me behind. Let me tell you, you''re the one who got married to me, Jin Weiwei. If you run away, even if I have to catch you, I will catch you and bring you back."


    Hearing this, little Fugui couldn''t help but laugh. Jin Weiwei''s eyes suddenly turned red. She knew that if little Fugui wanted to leave, even if she wanted to, she wouldn''t be able to stop him.


    "It''s fine if you want to leave, right? You have to cure the patient. If not, you''ll drag me down to collect those violent corpses on the streets one day, won''t you?"


    "I''ll bring you."


    Little Fugui suddenly became serious. Jin Weiwei was stunned. Her heart raced. She turned her head and blinked. Did she fall for him?


    He only had this feeling and suddenly wanted to tease her. He didn''t think that she would have such a huge reaction.


    Not long after the two of them left, a group of people dressed like commoners suddenly came to the manor and stopped the few people who had yet to leave.


    "Did you see a seventeen or eighteen year old boy? "Sharp eyebrows, straight nose ¡­"


    "Get out of the way, what do you mean by that?"


    A man with a full beard pushed away the fairer man and looked at the old man, revealing his pure-white front teeth. "Uncle, have you seen a very handsome young man? It''s like someone owes him money. "


    The rest of the people all rolled their eyes in unison. The only one who would dare to say such words to their master was this Mo Ba, but ¡­ What he said seemed to make sense.


    The old man thought for a long time before saying, "A couple has arrived today. The husband of that young lady looks very handsome, but I don''t know if he is the person you are looking for."


    "Thank you, uncle."


    The bearded man smirked and left. His expression suddenly changed, "This is the place where we lost contact with the crown prince. The crown prince must still be around. Let''s search around."


    Cheng Yu had made an appointment with Xu Ziqi at the Tier 1 Xuan. Xu Ziqi''s expression was not very good. If it wasn''t for Cheng Yu''s backers, would he have regarded his family as well?


    "Sir Cheng, for your sake, I won''t touch anyone from the Cheng family. It''s just that I won''t let Cheng Yuan go!"


    This person had caused his son to suffer such a great humiliation. How could he bear with such humiliation?


    Cheng Yu faintly smiled and poured a cup of wine for Xu Ziqi.


    "Mr Xu, don''t be angry. I am angry too. Cheng Yuan is a member of my family. If something were to happen to him, it would be a disgrace to me."


    "Then according to Young Master Cheng''s meaning, the son of a county magistrate can be insulted as he pleases?"


    Seeing this, Cheng Yu''s expression did not change. He only said: "Of course I don''t mean that. I mean, I will just save them, no matter what kind of person they are. In addition, I can give a shop to them."


    Seeing that the official was about to flare up again, Cheng Yu smiled even wider. "Plus a letter to go to sea."


    Hearing that, Xu Ziqi''s temper that had been on the top of his head was retracted, and he started to think.


    Cheng Yu said he was only saving people, not a complete person. Heh, he thought this family was very united, but it turned out to be nothing more than this.


    However ¡­ He needed the paperwork for the sea. How did he get here? He would never forget it!

 C137

    "I wonder how the officials of Xuanzhou are considering this?"


    Cheng Yu admitted that he did not ask for too much, because he wanted Cheng Yuan as a person, and not a "complete" person.


    He had always been a ruthless person, but that was only because he didn''t want to!


    "For a prodigy like you to appear in the Cheng family, it is indeed the fortune of a family!"


    Xu Ziqi praised Cheng Yu and gave his agreement.


    When Jin Weiwei arrived at the city, she didn''t go home first. Instead, she went to the grain store with the little rich and the little rich and the little rich.


    It wasn''t the first time that Jin Weiwei visited a grain store, but she wasn''t that serious before.


    With this seriousness, he felt that this grain store was truly a treasure!


    Perhaps it was because it was close to Yunhai County, but there were many varieties of potatoes sold in grain stores. For example, this potato could be grown three or four times a year. In her previous life, she remembered that the people of Southwest China loved to plant this kind of potato because it was resistant to cold. And corn, she didn''t say. She was here today to find the seeds of wheat.


    "Shopkeeper, how much is this?"


    "Twenty dollars a bag."


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but widen her eyes. The bag in front of her was only the size of a grown man''s palm, but it was actually so expensive.


    He weighed what was inside and found that it wasn''t that heavy.


    "Customer, don''t look at it expensive. The seeds here are really well planted. Next year, you''ll have multiplied your profits several times. Moreover, this rice is from the north. It''s delicious, so it''s not bad for you."


    The shopkeeper was especially good at talking. Perhaps because of this, the business inside the store was also excellent.


    "Since the shopkeeper has said so, then ten bags."


    It should be enough to sow a hill. She still wanted to plant some potatoes this year to match, so she might even be able to get some surprises.


    When she returned to the shop, it was almost evening. Jin Weiwei was especially happy and personally cooked.


    That night, after Jin Weiwei had washed up, she told the two that she was tired and had to rest early.


    In reality, while the two of them weren''t paying attention, he carried a hoe into his room.


    Today she had wondered what would happen if she dug a pond in space.


    With anticipation and apprehension, Jin Weiwei entered the space and saw that the rice she sprinkled yesterday had sprouted and was already as high as her ankles.


    After looking for a while, Jin Weiwei picked up her hoe and picked up a piece of land. She picked up the hoe and hoed down, causing the green grass and mud to flip upwards.


    After digging dozens of times, Jin Weiwei was exhausted to the point of sweating profusely. Sure enough, working people was the most honorable thing that anyone could do.


    He sat down to rest and looked at the small pit. He could not help but sigh and continue digging.


    Who knew that this hoe would suddenly burst out water, splashing onto Jin Weiwei''s pants.


    There was actually water!


    Jin Weiwei was overjoyed. She opened her eyes and continued digging, causing the entire space to tremble.


    F * ck me!


    What was going on?


    Jin Weiwei was a little frightened, but the space unexpectedly paused for a moment before it continued to vibrate. This time, it directly shook Jin Weiwei until she fainted.


    When she woke up, she was in her room. She glanced outside and saw that it was still dark.


    That''s not right!


    She was inside the space just now, so she had to go in and take a look. She thought to herself, "A door appeared on the wall." To Jin Weiwei''s surprise, the color of the door changed.


    Upon entering, Jin Weiwei''s eyes immediately widened. Could it be that her digging had triggered the requirements to upgrade the dimension?


    At first glance, the grass looked flat, but then there was a small waterfall. Below the waterfall was a pool of water.


    Beside the waterfall, a small hill had been pulled up, and there were fruit trees growing on it. However, none of them had produced any fruit.


    Jin Weiwei quickly ran to the side of the pool. She wanted to see if there were any fish inside, but the water was very deep, but there weren''t any.


    Tomorrow she would buy a few and put them in.


    After tossing and turning for a while, Jin Weiwei happily crawled onto the bed and went to sleep.


    "Don''t move, he''s coming out."


    A small group of people who had been asking questions in the manor that day were waiting in front of the Jin family meat shop.


    Yesterday, they had heard that there were only a few good-looking youths in Lin Shui county. They had gone to take a look at the other two, so they couldn''t help but suspect that Lin Shui county''s aesthetic standards were ''pretty''?


    The first one to open the door was Tao Xiaoqing. His skin was dark, and the few of them had already paled.


    Mo Feng, who was also a bit fairer, sneered. "Mo Ba, it will take a long time for you to find the crown prince!"


    "Then my prince is really good-looking!" However, there were very few people with that temperament! I told you to bring the portraits, but you didn''t bring them.


    The bearded man could not help but roll his eyes as he saw another figure walking out.


    Why did that figure look so much like a prince?


    He wasn''t the only one thinking this. The others also felt the same way. A few pairs of eyes couldn''t help but stare at that person''s back.


    Xiao Fugui was a martial arts practitioner. He was quick to notice a few pairs of eyes behind him. He couldn''t help but frown. When he turned around, he didn''t see anyone around.


    Those men''s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. They looked surprised and happy. It was really the crown prince!


    "What did I say!?" With your crappy description, how could you find the crown prince? "


    The bearded man''s eyes were wide open, as if he was about to praise me.


    Mo Feng stared at him and said, "Now we have to find a chance to meet with the prince and bring him back to the capital. The prince is still lying poisoned, so we have to be careful."


    "That''s right. Anyway, the prince is safe now. Let''s go back and plan things out."


    "Retreat!"


    Jin Weiwei patted his shoulder when she saw his dazed look. She saw him suddenly turn his head and place his hand on her hand. The killing intent in his eyes sent a shiver down her spine. How terrifying!


    "You, what happened to you?"


    So scary!


    "Are you alright?"


    "That''s right. In a while, you and Little Qing will sell them. There''s still half a frame of sausages. I''ll rush them out."


    He should be able to finish it today and hand it over to Shopkeeper Zhou.


    The little rich kid nodded, still holding onto Jin Weiwei''s hand without letting go. When Jin Weiwei pulled back, she thought about the look in little rich son''s eyes just now.


    "What happened to you just now?"


    "Maybe it''s just an illusion, you''re busy."


    The gazes from earlier seemed to be extremely familiar with him. ''What are these people doing here?''


    "Oh ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei sounded a bit unhappy. Why did she feel that little Fugui was hiding too many things from her?


    Family.


    Cheng Yuan was carried back, and the Old Master almost fainted when he saw it.


    Cheng Yuan looked as if he was about to die. His clothes were in a mess and his eyes were glazed. The exposed chest was more or less tinged with traces of green red.


    "Ah Yuan!" What''s wrong with you? Don''t scare me! "


    The Old Master trembled as he looked at Cheng Yuan with tears and snot running down his face, but he didn''t dare to touch him.


    Cheng Yuan opened his mouth, but no words came out. Suddenly, he cried.

 C138

    "Ah Yuan, what''s going on? "Don''t cry, let''s go home and get a doctor!"


    Seeing how Cheng Yuan was crying, the Old Master''s heart ached. He pointed his cane at the ground and spoke in a hurry.


    Before long, the doctor arrived.


    "Lord Cheng ¡­" "Young master, this ¡­"


    Seeing that he had completed his task, the old doctor had an inexplicable expression on his face. He was hesitating as to whether he should tell the truth or not.


    "Tell me, what happened to my grandson?"


    After hesitating for a while, the old doctor sighed and said, "Old master Cheng, I''m afraid you won''t be able to handle this. This young master Cheng Yuan''s backyard is splitting apart and is bleeding profusely. He probably suffers quite a bit ¡­ "Besides, I''m afraid that this young master Cheng Yuan won''t be able to leave anymore. His legs are considered crippled after being poisoned."


    "What!"


    "Old Master!"


    Unable to bear such a blow, the Old Master fainted again.


    Cheng Yuan was lying on the bed, his eyes glazed over. Hearing the doctor''s sudden laughter, he focused his gaze on the doctor, but it was filled with hatred.


    Before he left, he still remembered what Xu Yu told him, Cheng Yu originally could save him completely, but in order to please the Xu family, Cheng Yu actually said that he was just saving people, not just a complete person.


    "Yu Cheng!" Jade! Xu Youxu! I will make you beg for death! "


    While the Cheng family was on the verge of death, Jin Weiwei''s days were in full swing.


    She had spent three hundred and fifty-two taels of silver to buy the house and five taels of silver to buy the seeds. In that case, she was going to hire someone to farm the land.


    Counting the amount of silver in his hands, it was more or less enough.


    However, she still had one thing to do, and that was to find Cheng Yu at Cheng Jia Restaurant.


    He brought the rice with him and left happily with the little rich kid.


    When she thought of the rice she had scattered half the night before, she felt so excited. Those were all silver coins!


    "Wait for me here. I''ll be out in a moment."


    Standing in front of Cheng Jia Restaurant''s entrance, Jin Weiwei turned around and said to little rich and wealthy kid.


    Why didn''t you let little rich kid in? It was mainly because the last time he and Cheng Yu met, the atmosphere was especially awkward and she still had to talk about business matters with Cheng Yu, afraid that little rich kid''s displeasure would ruin everything.


    Xiao Fugui nodded his head, but he felt a gaze locking onto him from behind. He immediately became alert. For the past two days, he always felt that someone was monitoring him. This was why he agreed to Jin Weiwei''s words.


    He suddenly turned his head and saw a shadow flash past from the opposite corner. Xiao Fugui didn''t even think before chasing after it.


    After chasing him to a narrow alley, the man suddenly turned around and a few people appeared behind him.


    "Who is it!"


    "Greetings, Crown Prince!"


    The few of them quickly kneeled down, their faces full of excitement.


    Xiao Fugui frowned, his heart still on guard. "Who are you people?"


    They looked at each other. Why didn''t the crown prince recognize them?


    "Your Highness, it''s me, Mo Ba. I''ve been by your side since you were young, don''t you remember?"


    Mo Ba panicked. The old prince was still lying in his bed, surrounded by the emperor''s soldiers. If the prince couldn''t return to take charge, then he would be in danger.


    "I''m not some prince, you''ve all recognized the wrong person."


    Xiao Fugui took two steps forward with his fists clenched, his eyes full of killing intent. He didn''t believe that these people had no other reason to spy on him.


    "Your Highness, do you really not remember anything?" This is the jade that the Prince told us to bring, do you remember? "


    Mo Feng''s face paled. He had a rough guess in his heart. No wonder the Crown Prince didn''t look for them. It must be due to amnesia.


    Xiao Fugui was about to make a move when he suddenly stopped. He took the jade pendant from Mo Feng''s hand and gently stroked it a few times. This jade pendant really did look familiar.


    "Your Highness, come back with us quickly. Your highness has been poisoned and is surrounded by the emperor''s men. If you don''t go back now, your highness will be in danger!"


    Xiao Fugui tightly held onto that black and white jade pendant. The warm feeling from its tentacles caused his heart to become a lot more chaotic.


    Suddenly, he threw the jade pendant to Mo Feng and quickly flew towards the mouth of the alleyway, leaving only a single sentence, "I am not your son."


    Jin Weiwei, who originally wanted to look for Cheng Yu, found out that Cheng Yu wouldn''t come to Cheng Jia Restaurant for the next two days because he had returned home.


    Thinking about Cheng Yuan''s matter, Jin Weiwei thought that Cheng Yu probably had a lot of troublesome things to do.


    "Little Fugui ¡­?"


    Jin Weiwei didn''t see any trace of the little rich girl as soon as she stepped out of the door. Had she gone back?


    He wouldn''t do that?


    In her mind, she suddenly recalled what little rich kid had told her the other day. If he really left, what would she do ¡­


    He couldn''t have left, right?


    Liar! Big liar!


    Jin Weiwei''s nose suddenly turned sour. In the blink of an eye, she thought, what if something happened in the butcher''s shop, so she went back first?


    With this mindset, Jin Weiwei decided to return to the butcher''s shop to have a look.


    Ah!


    Perhaps because she was walking in a hurry, Jin Weiwei didn''t even run two steps before she bumped into someone. She was about to apologize when that person pulled her into his embrace.


    It was so tight that she almost suffocated. Jin Weiwei struggled to raise her head. She only saw the stubble on her chin, but it caused her to stop struggling.


    Little Fugui!


    In a split-second, he was once again hugged tightly.


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes suddenly began to tear up. A moment ago, she thought that little Fugui had run off and didn''t want her anymore!


    "Where have you been?"


    His voice was muffled, with a hint of grievance.


    "Look around."


    His voice was light, but it hid a hint of joy from having lost and recovered.


    Mo Feng and his pursuers stopped in their tracks and hid behind the alley.


    "Tsk tsk, so the crown prince has a woman, so he won''t return with us?"


    Mo Ba, who was squatting below, let out two sighs. His beard moved along with his raised eyebrows. It was extremely comical.


    "Shut up. Let''s follow them and see what''s going on."


    Mo Feng frowned. The Crown Prince was not the sort of person who would abandon his life for the sake of a girl.


    When they returned to the butcher''s shop, Tao Xiaoqing had just finished driving away the last of the sausages.


    "How can a noble body like the crown prince do such menial work!"


    The other two were dissatisfied, and so was the bearded man. The crown prince was someone who did great things, so he had seen the crown prince carry some things twice this morning. He didn''t know what to make of it.


    "Madame Jin is really fast. I thought it would still take a few more days, but I didn''t expect that not only had she recovered, but had even moved over by herself."


    "Shopkeeper Zhou, this is a small matter. Originally, we were the ones who took the share. We can''t just take all the advantages, can we?"


    Jin Weiwei smiled politely. Thinking about how she still had three months before she could get the money, her heart was so anxious!


    "Shopkeeper Zhou, there''s no need to send me off. My husband and I are going to stroll around the streets."

 C139

    "What do you think is so good about this woman?" "How could the crown prince like something that doesn''t protrude from the front and doesn''t protrude from the back?"


    Mo Ba couldn''t help but complain again. Jin Weiwei really couldn''t be considered a stunning woman. She could only be considered attractive. Plus, her skin was a bit dark, which often made people feel unsightly.


    "Alright, he''s gone. Follow him."


    Mo Feng''s face turned black. They were clearly guards under the crown prince''s command, but they actually had a weirdo like Mo Ba. A man is so gossipy!


    "Boss, come and take a look. How many sheep in the sheepfold are trembling? Are they sick?"


    Tao Xiaoqing looked anxious. He had already discovered this problem when he was feeding the pigs.


    Jin Weiwei and little Fugui only just returned home. They didn''t know why, but wherever she went these two days, Little Fugui would follow. It was as if he was afraid that she would run away.


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei became anxious. She had no money on her right now, so nothing bad could happen to the sheep at home.


    "Let me see."


    Seeing Jin Weiwei walk in, the little rich kid turned his head to look outside. He saw Mo Ba-Mo Feng and the others following him. Mo Feng was the first to bow to him, it didn''t look like he was lying.


    The little rich kid looked back at Jin Weiwei and walked over.


    "You have sheep''s epilepsy. It''s no big deal. Go take a look at the sheep dealer''s place. Usually, there will be drugs that can be used to sell goat''s epilepsy."


    Jin Weiwei said so, but her heart was hurting. If she pulled the wool down, she could sell it for money.


    No, she had to go back to the Space to get some grass for the sheep to eat, and at the same time, she had to test the effects of the Water of Space.


    Just as she was about to go back to her room and get them, she looked up and saw little Fugui. Jin Weiwei jumped in fright, patted her chest and asked, "Why are you here?"


    Xiao Fugui frowned, shouldn''t he be here?


    "Ha, you go outside first. I''ll go back to my room to change before coming out to cook."


    Realizing that her words just now were a bit inappropriate, Jin Weiwei burst into laughter and dashed into her room.


    Seeing the closed door of Jin Weiwei''s room, Xiao Fugui''s frown deepened.


    Jin Weiwei carefully called him to come out of the door, dug in to pull some grass, and then scooped up another bucket of water before coming out.


    She quickly changed into another set of clothes. Jin Weiwei cursed in her heart. Why did it feel like she was a thief?


    Oh, never mind, her sheep are more important.


    Holding the water, Jin Weiwei poured it directly into the sink of the sheepfold. She also poured some of the pigpen in case she got infected.


    She mixed into the food the sheep ate and watched the sick sheep eat before letting go of the other sheep.


    After doing this, Tao Xiaoqing also returned.


    "Boss, I''ve bought the medicine."


    "What did the sheep dealer say?"


    "This is for external use, this is for sheep to eat."


    Tao Xiaoqing took out two jars. One was dark in color, while the other was light in color. The smell of the jars was rather unpleasant.


    Jin Weiwei nodded and said, "You get the sheep. I''ll go make lunch."


    The weather was getting colder and colder, and Jin Weiwei thought that it was time to get them some thicker clothes.


    "In the afternoon, I will take you to see a doctor. Why don''t you accompany me to find a servant named Fang?"


    It was worth it to buy a servant, and it was also safe. If she hired a regular worker, she might reveal her secret.


    Right, the farmland in the manor had to be turned over, but before she let the servants in, she had to go to the manor and put the grass in the space next to the spring water. The grass needed photosynthesis and water, spirit energy, no matter what, she could give some of it to the spring water.


    That day, she seemed to have seen a fish in a spring.


    As Jin Weiwei was thinking, little rich son nodded:


    "Yes."


    He was also worried about Jin Weiwei going alone.


    After the meal, it was Tao Xiaoqing who was watching the restaurant. Jin Weiwei looked embarrassed.


    "Little Qing, these two days are a lot of work. After this period of time, I will hire someone to work with you. You should be more busy. At the end of the year, I will give you a bonus."


    "Boss, you don''t have to worry about that. I''ll keep an eye on this place for you."


    Tao Xiaoqing''s swarthy and honest face carried a brilliant smile. No matter who it was, they liked to follow the generous boss, right?


    Jin Weiwei had hired a horse carriage, which was filled with a mix of different kinds of people. Even though she had little rich children with her, she didn''t feel at ease.


    "We''re here. Come down and check on your illness."


    The two of them first went to a pharmacy, and it was the same old doctor who had treated the son of the little rich man last time.


    Xiao Fugui nodded his head, and felt several pairs of eyes following him, his face could not help but turn cold.


    "Has the crown prince had a relapse?"


    Seeing Jin Weiwei bringing little rich kids to the pharmacy, a few of the guards following behind her became anxious.


    The bearded man was the first to become anxious. He had followed the Crown Prince since young, so he was clear about this.


    "Seems like it, I''ve brought the medicine."


    Mo Feng rolled his eyes. He really didn''t know how such a person could stay by the Crown Prince''s side for so long.


    "Let''s find a chance to give it to the crown prince. We have to let the woman beside him go first."


    Mo Ba nodded. He looked at Jin Weiwei''s back and felt an incomparable disdain. The crown prince was such a nice cabbage, but he was actually tricked by this black village nun. Thinking about it, he was in a very bad mood!


    "Doctor, how is it?"


    Jin Weiwei prayed that the little rich kid''s condition wouldn''t worsen, and she had spent all her money.


    "It''s the same as before, but it''s probably related to your husband''s mood. He would occasionally faint after a few waves."


    The old doctor stroked his beard and added, "If there''s nothing else to suppress him, I''m afraid the time for his next attack won''t be long."


    Jin Weiwei''s relieved heart rose again. She suddenly had the urge to smash this old doctor to death. She didn''t even bother to say half of what she wanted to say!


    However, in the next second, Jin Weiwei almost knelt down in front of the doctor.


    "Oh right, I''ve collected some musk recently. I wonder if the little gold lady would like to buy some?" This musk can be suppressed if you take it back and light it up, then use it as water. "


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei''s eyes immediately lit up. "Doctor, how much is it?"


    "This one, five hundred liang."


    While he was speaking, the old doctor brought out some musk. It was wrapped in layers of cloth and even contained in a box, showing how precious it was.


    Hearing the price, Jin Weiwei''s face turned bitter. A small manor only cost three hundred and fifty taels of silver, yet such a small meat ball cost five hundred taels of silver. Wasn''t that a sky-high price?!


    "Doctor, can you keep it for me first? I''ll buy it in two days."


    She decided that she would see Cheng Yu tomorrow and get enough money to buy the musk.


    "Oh, the little gold lady doesn''t have that much silver. You can buy half of it."


    The old doctor lowered his voice and said to Jin Weiwei as he looked at the man who also knew how to do business.


    "Half two hundred and fifty taels?"


    If that was the case, she still had the chance.


    "Then, three hundred taels of silver!"


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei slammed the table, scaring the old doctor into jumping. This old man, he''s really raising the price!


    "Old doctor, keep this musk for me. I will be back in three days to buy it!"


    Jin Weiwei was infuriated, but she didn''t believe it!

 C140

    The old doctor seemed to be frightened by Jin Weiwei''s manliness as he blankly nodded his head.


    Jin Weiwei nodded in satisfaction and led the young rich man out.


    The old doctor''s pharmacy was only one street away from where the teeth were gathered, so it was quite convenient.


    Jin Weiwei was shocked the moment she entered. She murmured to herself, "So many people are willing to be servants these days?"


    This small voice was overheard by Yanzi, who said, "Young lady, you don''t know this, but a lot of people have drowned in the big water of Qingshui County next door. The remaining people can''t live, or for some other reason, sell their girls and sell themselves.


    "Does such a big thing happen without anyone noticing?"


    Normally, this kind of thing happened at the right time for officials to perform well. If they performed well, they could still be promoted, right?


    Why would he let them go?


    "Aiyo, don''t mention it. Qing Shui County''s Zhixian corruption was taken by the higher-ups, and now there''s a flood again. It''s no longer a mess, is it?"


    He then looked at the bulging purse on Jin Weiwei''s waist, and suddenly beamed with joy. "Young lady, you''re here to buy a servant. Look at me, a few hard-working men and women have arrived, they''re really good workers."


    Jin Weiwei followed his instructions and looked at the servants sitting behind him. All of them were thin and sallow with numb eyes. No wonder they only said that they had diligent hands and feet.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but sigh. Natural disasters and man-made disasters weren''t things she wanted to see. These people were also pitiful.


    Lifting his eyes, he saw a large man with a strong build, but ¡­ His hands and feet were chained.


    "Why did he get handcuffed?"


    Most of the refugees who sold themselves were obedient, so they shouldn''t have been able to control them.


    Unexpectedly, a person with a face full of disdain said, "This person has caused me to lose a lot of money. His physique is pretty good, and he also has martial arts. "A few of the buyers were injured by him. He didn''t make much money for me, so I lost quite a bit!


    Jin Weiwei frowned. Not many servants knew martial arts, unless they had bought the teeth themselves to raise, but this person''s face was frighteningly cold. Even though he was chained up, his body emitted an aura of arrogance that made it difficult for people to get close to him.


    Jin Weiwei wanted to step forward to get a better look, but was stopped by little rich son. When she looked up, he was shaking his head.


    What do you mean? You can''t buy it, can you?


    "Big brother, let me ask you, what are you going to do with him?"


    Normally, this kind of servant would not end up well, so she was a little worried.


    "West of the desert."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei hesitated. She didn''t know where the western part of the desert was. She knew that a bad person would die in the desert anyway.


    Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Fugui''s eyes dimmed a little, "You want it?"


    Jin Weiwei raised her head and glanced at that person. She was afraid that someone would cause trouble in her manor, so she was in need of such a person.


    Seeing that her eyes were focused on the servant who couldn''t be seen clearly, Xiao Fugui pulled on Jin Weiwei''s hand and moved to block her sight.


    When Jin Weiwei came back to her senses, she hurriedly followed him.


    Unexpectedly, just as she approached, little Fugui began to fight with someone. However, that person''s fists were soft, and in just two moves, he was completely overpowered by Little Fugui.


    Jin Weiwei squatted in front of that person, looking at his bloodshot eyes, she was a little scared. She swallowed her cigarette and revealed a smile, "Um, don''t move, I don''t have any bad intentions. Think about it, if I buy you, you won''t have to wander around anymore.


    What Jin Weiwei didn''t notice was that the moment she smiled, that person stopped struggling and just stared at her.


    "A''Yue ¡­"


    "Huh?"


    What did this person just say?


    Who knew that in the next second, that person would cry? Jin Weiwei panicked. She didn''t do anything just now, so why was she crying now?


    "Wh-what?" Don''t cry! I won''t coax you! "


    As expected, that person stopped crying. Her gaze turned cold. This person wasn''t A''Yue ¡­


    Just like A''Yue.


    The corner of Jin Weiwei''s mouth twitched. Could this person be crazy? Did she regret in time?


    "Big brother, I want this person. How much is it?"


    She decided to take a gamble. If she made a mistake, she would just treat it as saving a life. If she made the right gamble, of course, everyone would be happy.


    "Are you sure?"


    The human tooth was overjoyed. This person had been here for such a long time, yet no one wanted him. He thought he wouldn''t be able to sell him anything. He didn''t even get to eat.


    Seeing Jin Weiwei nod, Ren Tiezi first stretched out five fingers for fear that Jin Weiwei would go back on her word. Then, he stretched out two fingers and said, "Two taels of silver, take it with you."


    Jin Weiwei nodded. Two taels of silver was not even worth the price of a sheep. That was cheap enough.


    "Little Fugui, take him back first. I''m just going to take a walk around here."


    The little rich kid pursed his lips and saw that she didn''t move. Jin Weiwei blinked. What was going on? Was he afraid that she wouldn''t be safe?


    "You can go back first. Don''t worry about me. I''m not beautiful, so I won''t be able to sell you for a good price."


    After a moment of silence, that person suddenly said, "I''ll follow you."


    Huh?


    The servant she bought had quite a temper!


    Seeing the same look in their eyes, Jin Weiwei was defeated.


    "Fine, fine, if you want to follow, then follow."


    As she spoke, she bought a few meat buns and handed them over to the two. Little Fugui didn''t take them, so Jin Weiwei gave them to him.


    Seeing that the person had been looking at her, he asked, "What''s your name?"


    Silence answered her.


    Alright, she succeeded in silencing me again. Jin Weiwei felt like she was an absolute fool. The people she picked up were all these kind of people who didn''t like to talk, so she had to suffocate to death.


    "No name? Then let me get you one! "Hmm ¡­" Call it Yuanbao, I hope that I will have a lot of money in the future! "


    Jin Weiwei laughed as she spoke. That cute little tiger tooth had successfully stunned the ingot. The kid pursed his lips and stood in front of the ingot without making a sound.


    Then, Jin Weiwei bought ten servants of decent physique, two women, and a pair of sisters. When Jin Weiwei heard that they could cook, she thought that all the servants in the manor were men, so she bought them.


    One of them was called chrysanthemum, the other was plum blossom. Jin Weiwei didn''t like the sound of them, so she changed them into pearls and jade.


    Xiao Fugui looked behind him repeatedly. Mo Feng and the others did not try to hide themselves and followed behind Xiao Fugui.


    "You go back first, I''ll buy something."


    As he spoke, he ignored Jin Weiwei and headed towards a nearby alleyway.


    Jin Weiwei pouted. He wasn''t afraid of her anymore!


    Humph!


    The carriage that she had hired had worked. Jin Weiwei let everyone sit on it. Seeing that it wasn''t enough, she found another ox-cart and pulled the ten servants towards her small manor.


    When they arrived, all the residents of the manor had already moved away. It was probably Teeth that had come to clean up. After all, the seller had already left.


    After finding a farmhouse, Jin Weiwei said, "I''ve looked at a few courtyards. There''s a well here. Wash yourselves first. I''ll go buy clothes for you guys to change into."

 C141

    Most of the people she bought were victims of disasters, and they all looked dirty. It wasn''t good for her to have them work for her, right?


    "Let the two girls wash first. Yuanbao, you come and guard this courtyard."


    Although it was her manor, she did not want anything bad to happen to it.


    As for why he let the ingot stand guard, it was because it looked safe. Un, it was that willful.


    "Come out."


    Little Fugui had his back facing the four of them, and his expression was terrifyingly cold.


    "Crown Prince."


    Mo Feng was the leader, and he was a bit calmer. However, he still didn''t dare to approach Xiao Fugui and stayed by his son''s side for so long. If he didn''t see that the prince was unhappy now, then he wouldn''t be the leader.


    "What is it?"


    Xiao Fugui turned around, his body faintly emitting a cold air. Perhaps it was because Mo Feng and the rest had followed them for so many days without harming Jin Weiwei, but the murderous intent in his eyes disappeared.


    "Crown Prince, did you get sick again? We''re here to deliver your medicine. "


    Mo Ba took a step forward, took out a green porcelain bottle, and handed it to the little rich guy. He smiled brilliantly, but it was concealed by a pile of beards.


    The little rich kid stared at him for a long time before he took the medicine bottle. He opened it and sniffed it. Inside was a thick musk and cinnabar smell, as well as other unknown items.


    But... This thing was poisonous, so the little rich kid frowned. However, his chest didn''t feel that stuffy anymore.


    "Your Highness, this thing is poisonous, but it can suppress the illness in your body. If only I could find a first rank rhinoceros'' horn, then you wouldn''t have to suffer so much."


    Mo Ba sighed, but little Fugui froze. Not many people knew about this.


    "Your Highness, I know you don''t believe us, but there is one thing you must do, and that is to save the old prince. Only you have the Tiger talisman, which is used to control soldiers and horses. As long as you give the order, the old prince can be saved."


    Mo Ba spoke sincerely. If time was delayed any longer, the old prince would really be in danger.


    Xiao Fugui held the bottle tightly, while Mo Feng held onto Mo Ba and shook his head. The crown prince did not remember anything, so saying all this was just a waste of time.


    Mo Ba obviously understood. With a sigh, he retreated.


    "Your Highness, we will stay by your side and find a way to remind you of everything."


    After Jin Weiwei bought a pile of clothes, she looked at the pile of silver that she had spent today and felt a pang in her heart.


    When they returned to the manor and approached the small courtyard, Jin Weiwei was stunned.


    F * ck!


    What a handsome man!


    Although it couldn''t compare to the little rich kid, it was still quite interesting.


    The clean ingots were coming toward her, their gushing muscles supporting their clothes, and they looked so seductive.


    Jin Weiwei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forcing herself not to lose her composure. She already had a small fortune, she couldn''t have any presumptuous thoughts towards others!


    "..." "Mistress."


    The big guy shouted in front of her.


    Jin Weiwei smiled and nodded. She took out a set of robes from her backpack and tossed it to him, saying, "Change into clothes, those clothes of yours are too undercover."


    He silently took the ingot, glanced at her, then turned and left.


    After the clothes were distributed, Jin Weiwei gave the five bags of rice seeds and potatoes to Yuanbao.


    In the past, most of you were farmers, so you don''t need me to teach you how to grow these things. As long as you work hard, you will have food to eat, and if someone gave me a negative job, I won''t let them off easily. This, Yuanbao, I''m not here, but you will listen to him, understand?


    Standing at a high place, Jin Weiwei calmly said a few words. It could be said that she had shown both grace and power.


    "Understood."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei was very satisfied. It really felt good to be the landlady.


    "Alright, if you understand the situation, then come and collect some silver from me. I''ll go get some of the necessities first."


    When they saw how generous Jin Weiwei was, they felt that they had followed the right boss and all became excited.


    After silently doing all of this, while no one was paying attention, Jin Weiwei took the opportunity to arrive at the spring at the top of the terrace.


    He looked around and saw that there was no one around. Jin Weiwei picked a relatively large tree to meditate on, and the gate appeared on top of the big tree.


    He took out the shovel he brought with him and scooped up a piece of grass. Then, he scooped up a bucket of water from the pool before coming out.


    He finished planting the grass by the spring and pouring water into the spring.


    When she turned around, she found that the ingot was still standing there, looking at her. Jin Weiwei was so scared that she jumped back and stared with her eyes wide open. "When did you arrive?"


    She couldn''t have been seen by the ingot when she left the space, right?


    Then what should she do? He won''t go out and talk nonsense, will he?


    "They''ve settled in."


    So it was this. From the looks of the ingot, he probably didn''t see her come out of the space.


    Jin Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, the ingot fell silent for a while, before looking at the shovels and barrels scattered behind her. "Mistress can let me do this kind of thing."


    Jin Weiwei blinked, coughed twice, and said, "I''m not that kind of delicate young lady. This kind of thing can be done occasionally. Well, let''s get out of here."


    Yuanbao went straight for the shovel and bucket and came back to look at her.


    Jin Weiwei walked forward. She even had the heart to slap herself to death. She was indeed a lowly person!


    He had found a stubborn donkey!


    As they walked down the stairs, Jin Weiwei finally saw the arrival of the little rich girl, and she immediately beamed with joy.


    "Why are you here? Are you worried about me? "


    "Yes."


    Little Fugui nodded. His face slightly rippled with gentleness as he stroked down along Jin Weiwei''s long hair.


    The ingot looked at the hand that was stroking Jin Weiwei''s long hair, and the hand at his side suddenly tightened. He took two steps forward and saw Jin Weiwei''s smiling face, and forcefully held back her laughter.


    Noticing the strange scene behind him, little Fugui''s eyes darkened as he embraced Jin Weiwei''s waist.


    Jin Weiwei''s face suddenly turned red. The area around her waist that was being held by little rich and powerful children was incomparably hot. It was so cozy and itchy that it made her feel ashamed.


    "It''s a public event, so don''t be like this." He took off the hands of the little rich kid and rebuked him.


    Seeing that the ingot had retreated, little Fugui took back his hand and pulled on Jin Weiwei''s hand instead.


    Lin Shui County, County Magistrate.


    "Everyone, please tell us what we should do now."


    The surface of the sea was covered by a cloud of gloom. He had just received the imperial edict that the emperor had entrusted him with the task of distributing large amounts of water to Qingshui County.


    If this matter was done well, his promotion would not be limited to the city. If he did not do it well, he might not even be able to survive.


    "This has always been about opening granaries, building porridge sheds, and sending people to build dams."


    Wang Hai narrowed his eyes and looked at the crowd.


    "What do you think, my lords?"


    "This official thinks that the words of Xu County''s Minister are reasonable. This is how the disasters have been treated in the past."


    "Don''t I know all this? The purpose of calling you out is to discuss how to settle those victims of the flood coming to Qingshui County and how to build the dikes of Qingshui County! It''s not because I want you to tell me what I know! "

 C142

    Wang Hai slammed his hand on the table. These people were usually long and short. When something really happened, there weren''t many useful ones.


    "Lord, it''s easy to arrange the disaster victims to be settled here in Linshui County, but they need money. However, the funding from the imperial government has yet to come, and there isn''t much left in the treasury of the magistrate court. We''re having a difficult time as well."


    Speaking of qualifications, it was also Master Liu who spoke. He had already been in Linshui County for ten years and had yet to be promoted or transferred. It could be said that no one knew the situation in Linshui County better than him.


    "My lord, why don''t we let the wealthy merchants of Linshui County collect their donations and wait for the calamity that will befall the imperial court?"


    After thinking about it for a long time, he finally answered.


    "That''s a good idea, but how could it be easy for you to get money from these merchants?"


    Xu Ziqi opened his mouth and laughed at Liu Zhenjun. Wasn''t this a joke?


    The richer they were, the more they would be deducted. These rich merchants were usually able to let them eat, drink, and have fun. If they were to raise money, it would be equivalent to taking their old lives.


    Wang Hai sighed. What the two of them had said made sense. It would take more than ten days to get to Lishui County, and it would take even longer to transport the silver.


    He could wait, but the victims could not. If he waited too long, there would be trouble.


    "How about this, find an empty spot in the outskirts of the county, build a large shelter for the victims, and send a doctor to check if anyone is sick."


    Xu Ziqi looked at Wang Hai''s anxious back figure and smiled faintly. Wang Hai looked so anxious. He thought Wang Hai was a good official who was worried about the country, but he was actually worried about next year''s promotion, right?


    Speaking of which, he was still here to take over Wang Hai''s position. No matter what, he had to do something about it.


    "Master, this matter shall be handled by this official. How about it?"


    Wang Hai frowned as he looked at him with fear in his eyes. In the end, he nodded his head. He believed that Xu Qi would not do something that was out of the ordinary with such a huge matter.


    When Jin Weiwei and little Fugui returned to the butcher''s shop, it was already dusk. Seeing Tao Xiaoqing so tired that he couldn''t even straighten his back, Jin Weiwei felt that she really needed to recruit a few more waiters.


    When she told Tao Xiaoqing about this idea, Tao Xiaoqing laughed and said, "Boss, you don''t have to waste your energy. You might as well hire some servants and buy a few servants. The places where the teeth of that person gather have all been squeezed out by the servants recently.


    Because Qingshui County had affected a few of the surrounding counties and towns, the number of victims was still increasing.


    Jin Weiwei sighed. She had only picked a few servants today, and if it was in the past, she wouldn''t have been able to buy that many. However, seeing that these people were pitiful, she decided to buy them.


    "Little Qing, here''s five taels of silver. Go pick two servants and bring them back tomorrow."


    She didn''t want to see that kind of tragedy again.


    "Hai, boss, you better prepare this Rice Noodle Roll. The price has risen to 30 taels of gold today, it''s worth double the price of pork. I estimate that it will be even more expensive in two days."


    With this reminder, the tiredness on Jin Weiwei''s face instantly disappeared. That''s right, so many victims came from Linshui County. What was lacking would definitely be food, and the price of rice and noodles would definitely rise.


    After returning to his room, he took out a hundred taels of silver from his storage space and found Xiao Fugui. "Let''s go to the Rice Noodle Market to buy some rice and flour, and also some rice seeds, wheat seeds and the like."


    Little Fugui nodded. He spread the hay in his hand in the trough of the sheepfold, clapped his hands, and walked towards Jin Weiwei.


    When Jin Weiwei arrived, there were still a lot of people in the Rice Noodle Market. There was only half a slot of rice left in the trough, and the price of the rice had already risen to 35 words: 40 pieces of white, 25 pieces of black, and 20 pieces of small rice.


    Seeing this, Jin Weiwei sighed to herself. Sure enough, natural disasters were when merchants were making a lot of money.


    "Man, are these bags of rice?"


    Seeing such a scene, Jin Weiwei decided to buy it with the bag as the unit. She now had more than ten mouths to feed.


    Fortunately, she had a hundred and eighty taels of silver in her purse every now and then.


    "Yes."


    That shop assistant''s smile almost reached the back of his ears as he led Jin Weiwei to the back.


    "Take 30 bags of each and send them to the Jin family''s meat shop."


    Jin Weiwei said grandly while pointing at the pile of rice noodles.


    The waiter was grinning from ear to ear. Seeing how Jin Weiwei was dressed, he thought she was a big customer.


    When she counted the money, Jin Weiwei looked at the strings of numbers and felt as if her heart was bleeding.


    In the end, they had to spend one hundred and eighty silver taels to capture all these items.


    She had to sprinkle more rice into the space in case something went wrong.


    When they finally rested, it was already late at night. Jin Weiwei ran into the space and scattered a large pile of rice and planted some potatoes before coming out.


    The next day, when Jin Weiwei woke up, she saw that there were already two unfamiliar faces in the shop.


    "Mistress."


    The two of them bowed towards Jin Weiwei with respectful expressions.


    Jin Weiwei was still not used to it so she coughed twice. "Mm, you guys can go get busy."


    "Boss, where are you going?"


    "To Chengjia Restaurant. Right, didn''t you see your rich brother?"


    This little rich kid got up earlier than her, so it should be time for him to finish his martial arts practice.


    "Brother Fugui left early in the morning and hasn''t returned yet."


    Jin Weiwei nodded. Forget it, it was better for her to not bring along little rich kids to avoid embarrassment.


    "Sir Cheng!"


    "Why are you here?!"


    Jin Weiwei was excited, and Cheng Yu was pleasantly surprised. In the past two days, he had been dealing with the bad things that had happened in the family, so he had become a lot more haggard.


    "Ai, I came to find you before, but you had a lot of things to do at that time. How is it? How are things at home?"


    "Much better. Cheng Jia Restaurant has, after all, fallen into my hands. You have not come here to find me today, have you?"


    Cheng Yu was still gentle as a jade, but in Wang Mu''s eyes, it seemed a bit lighter. This was something that only happened in front of Jin Weiwei.


    Wang Mu couldn''t help but sigh. It was a pity that the little golden girl was already married. Otherwise, she would have been very happy to marry her young master and have him as her concubine.


    "Indeed, nothing can escape your eyes. I have come here today to ask you if you want my family''s sausage?"


    "Of course, this isn''t like you. What do you have in mind?"


    Seeing Jin Weiwei''s cunning look, Cheng Yu couldn''t help but chuckle. She was always like a cunning little fox. She clearly knew her tricks, but there was nothing she could do.


    "My family''s rice is ripe. I want to start a business with Young Master Cheng Yu."


    As she spoke, she placed a small sack on the table. The contents were the rice she had brought out from the space.


    "Don''t you know that my family has its own fields? Why do I want your rice? "


    Cheng Yu couldn''t help but laugh out loud. He thought that Jin Weiwei was joking, but who knew that Jin Weiwei would directly give the rice to Wang Mu.


    "Not everyone has my rice"


    Jin Weiwei smiled, her two canines appearing extremely mysterious.

 C143

    Wang Mu looked at Cheng Yu, not knowing what to do with the rice in his hand.


    Seeing how confident Jin Weiwei was, Cheng Yu also became interested and nodded towards Wang Mu.


    "To make porridge."


    Jin Weiwei yelled at Wang Mu''s back, then turned her head to look at Cheng Yu, who was staring at her.


    The smile on his face became even more radiant. "If Young Master Cheng is satisfied, then we''ll cooperate for a few days."


    "Oh? Why a few days of cooperation? "


    Cheng Yu was curious. Who would cooperate with him for only a few days?


    "Because my family doesn''t have much rice like this. If I didn''t really lack money, I would have kept it myself."


    What she said was the truth. If it wasn''t for the sake of the little rich kid''s body, no matter what, she wouldn''t sell anything. The stuff was too good, and sometimes it could attract disasters.


    While he was speaking, Wang Mu brought the cooked congee over. From far away, Cheng Yu could smell the soft fragrance of the unique rice. It was very refreshing as it came closer and closer, as it was not available for other kinds of rice.


    Cheng Yu picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful into his mouth. His eyes instantly lit up. This porridge was soft and smooth in his mouth. As he savored the taste, a rich, sticky fragrance wafted into his nose.


    When he raised his eyes, he saw Jin Weiwei smiling at him, and he knew why Jin Weiwei was so confident.


    "How would you like to cooperate with me?"


    It was just the simplest type of porridge, yet it had such a fragrant flavor. If it was properly cooked, wouldn''t it be a delicacy?


    "I have about four stones worth of rice. Sir Cheng, have a look at my porridge and see how much it''s worth."


    Jin Weiwei was very confident. Even if she ate the rice, she would still want to eat it, not to mention other people.


    "According to the price of rice outside, the average price is 45 litres per liter, so I''ll give you 70 coins for yours. How about it?"


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei was surprised. She didn''t expect the price of the rice to rise again in the span of a night. It was truly a windfall.


    "Young master Cheng, you''re so straightforward. My rice is too good, I promise I won''t disappoint you."


    She had other thoughts in her mind, but she didn''t know if the grass she planted next to the spring would work, or if the spring water she poured into the spring would work. If it worked, she would be able to cooperate with Cheng Jia Restaurant for a long time in the future.


    "With you here, I''m relieved."


    Cheng Yu lightly smiled as she looked at the side of her face that was lost in thought. She did not bargain with him today. From the way she was busy, it seemed like she was in need of money.


    "Sir Cheng is a busy man, so I won''t disturb you."


    Jin Weiwei stood up and smiled at Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu came back to her senses and nodded with a faint smile as she watched Jin Weiwei and Wang Mu sign the contract.


    After leaving Cheng Jia Restaurant, Jin Weiwei rushed back to the manor without stopping. She first went to Pearl''s, Jade''s house.


    "I bought dozens of bags of rice noodles yesterday. Bring a few people with you to my house and bring ten bags each."


    When they went to buy it yesterday, the price of the rice was only 35 taels of gold. Unexpectedly, it became 45 taels of gold in one night. They wanted to talk to Jin Weiwei about it, but they were afraid that their boss would think they were ignorant.


    Who would have thought that Jin Weiwei would consider everything and directly buy the noodles for them?


    This was the first thing that Jin Weiwei did when she came here today. The second thing she did was to collect rice in the space.


    Four stone meters was equivalent to five hundred jin of rice. It was enough for her to be tired for two days.


    When Pearl and the Jade went out, Jin Weiwei hurriedly called for the door and carried the sickle inside.


    The first rice she scattered was cooked, but it was still not cooked yet. However, it also turned green and yellow. It looked like it was about to ripen.


    There didn''t seem to be much cooked rice, only then did he know how to put it away. The rice grew densely one by one, and it was inevitable that Jin Weiwei would be injured when she cut it.


    After cutting off a small piece, there were a few small wounds on her hand, and waves of pain came and went.


    Jin Weiwei rested for a while and took two sips of the water. Her fatigue had almost subsided, so she continued to cut the water as she walked.


    Fortunately, she was strong and had strong endurance. The small piece of rice that had matured had already been cut by her, but how was she going to transport all of the rice out?


    After listening at the door for a while, there was no sound, so Jin Weiwei bravely went out and dragged four or five baskets inside.


    Four or five baskets were barely enough to fill the bag with rice, and she had to use all her strength to move these things out.


    She planned to let the servants in the manor dry her up. This way, she would be able to save a lot of effort.


    Jin Weiwei was startled once again as soon as she stepped out of the door. Why was this ingot here?


    "How long have you been here?"


    "You just arrived. Are you injured?"


    She looked at her hands and saw a few bloody wounds. She couldn''t help but frown.


    Jin Weiwei quickly hid her hands behind her back and laughed twice, "Maybe the basket of rice was scratched. Oh yeah, go in and pull the rice out for me, then beat it up and dry it. Someone will come to collect it later."


    Yuanbao nodded his head and pulled her hand, pulling out a small bottle from his bosom and placing it in her hand.


    "Wipe your hands."


    Jin Weiwei was frightened by this sudden movement. She turned around to look at Yuan Bao''s back and patted her chest. Just what kind of freak did she take in?


    Returning to the butcher''s shop, Jin Weiwei wanted to help, but she found out that she couldn''t do anything to help. All the work was done by Tao Xiaoqing and the two servants who signed the death contract.


    Seeing that there was still no sign of Fugui, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but frown. "Is your Fugui brother still not back yet?"


    Tao Xiaoqing nodded his head. He was also curious about this matter. Normally, Brother Fugui would not disappear for so long.


    "Could something have happened?"


    Jin Weiwei mumbled to herself. The thought made her uneasy. No, she had to go out and find him.


    When she walked out the door, she bumped into a sturdy chest. When she looked up, she saw that it was the little rich and wealthy girl. Jin Weiwei''s heart instantly sank back into her stomach.


    "Where did you go all day? Why didn''t you tell me?"


    Little Fugui rubbed her forehead and then moved aside, revealing the store owner, Zhou Yunsheng.


    "Aiyo, Shopkeeper Zhou, why are you here?"


    Could there be something wrong with her sausage?


    "Lady Jin, congratulations, congratulations. I''ve come to send you money."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei was stunned for a moment. "Didn''t you say that it would take half a month?" This half a month hasn''t passed yet. "


    "Your sausage is done for. The ball and sentence Li close to the sea are sold out. Why don''t I just rush over here to send you some money?"


    This time, Jin Weiwei was really sure. She was so happy that her mouth could not even close. "Shopkeeper Zhou, please come in."


    The butcher''s shop was not big, but there was a place to receive guests. Tao Xiaoqing made tea for the three of them before he left.


    "I wonder how much you have sold for this trip to the sea?"


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t wait any longer. The main reason was that she was currently in a hurry to buy some musk for little Fugui, so she only had around 200 taels of musk left in her hands.


    "Lady Jin, guess?"

 C144

    Judging from Zhou Yunsheng''s appearance, it was likely that he was not lacking at all. Jin Weiwei blinked anxiously and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, please don''t tease me. I''m in need of money right now."


    "Haha, I won''t tease you anymore. This is the silver notes obtained from selling sausages. Also, this is the account book obtained from selling sausages. According to Lady Jin''s calculations, did this old man make a mistake?"


    As she said that, she placed a book in front of Jin Weiwei. Jin Weiwei took the notes and opened them one by one, her mouth growing wider and wider.


    How could the sea be so profitable!


    Just her ten baskets of sausages were enough to earn her 900 taels of silver!


    She looked at Shopkeeper Zhou with disbelief. Jin Weiwei opened the book again, and the number on it almost made her hands tremble. This ten basket of sausages had actually earned a whole three thousand taels of silver!


    "I have some good news for Mrs. King. Is she interested?"


    Shopkeeper Zhou stroked his beard and chuckled. He had earned quite a bit of profit from Jin Weiwei''s sausage. Even he didn''t expect her sausage to be sold so well.


    "Shopkeeper Zhou, please speak."


    After receiving the money, Jin Weiwei''s face was full of smiles. There was always hope for little rich children''s illness.


    "The Rare Goods Restaurant still needs to order 20 baskets from the Jin family''s butcher shop. This 200 taels of silver is the deposit and the time limit is half a month. I wonder if Lady Jin can make it?"


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei''s eyes couldn''t help but light up. Why would she push open the door to pay for the money that was delivered to her?


    "Of course. Shopkeeper Zhou, please wait for my good news."


    "In that case, I shall look forward to it."


    Jin Weiwei nodded and the two chatted for a while more before Shopkeeper Zhou left.


    After seeing off Shopkeeper Zhou, Jin Weiwei took the banknotes and felt as if her heart had been smeared with honey. She didn''t even pay attention to how little Fugui had disappeared for so long.


    She pulled little rich son to run to the pharmacy, who knew little rich son to pull her.


    "No need to buy it."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei thought that he was feeling sorry for her money. At the same time, she felt touched and also felt sorry for little rich and powerful child.


    "Money costs money. Didn''t you hear what the old doctor said? If you don''t have any medicine to suppress it, you''ll get it. "


    "I have the medicine."


    With that, he handed the bottle of medicine Mo Ba had given him to Jin Weiwei. When Jin Weiwei opened the bottle, she could smell the pungent smell that rushed into Jin Weiwei''s nose.


    After a while, Jin Weiwei was about to throw the bottle away.


    "This medicine smells uncomfortable. Where did you get this medicine from?" Let me tell you! You can''t take someone''s medicine for free, this illness of yours is too expensive! "


    Xiao Fugui held onto Jin Weiwei as he took back the bottle of medicine. He frowned, "There''s poison in this medicine."


    "What?" You still dare to use poison? "Little Fugui, you must have eaten the heart of a bear before!" "Ugh!"


    Little Fugui covered her mouth and said, "I used it. Very good."


    Jin Weiwei blinked. She was frightened by little Fugui. Suddenly, she remembered that old doctor saying that little Fugui''s body had poison in it, but it also happened to suppress his illness.


    "Where did you get this medicine?" Who gave it to you? "


    Jin Weiwei finally reacted. She asked and replied that he had nothing else but the small and rich child''s frown.


    "Speak!"


    He suddenly had a bad premonition. What did he mean by not replying?


    Little Fugui''s lips were still pursed. Jin Weiwei was worried for a long time before she pulled little Fugui along and ran outside.


    The two of them ran to the pharmacy in one breath. Jin Weiwei didn''t even have time to catch her breath before she placed the bottle in the hands of little Fugui in front of the old doctor.


    Pow!


    The old doctor''s heart skipped a beat. He lifted his head and saw Jin Weiwei looking at him with a face full of hostility. He immediately panicked.


    "Can you show me the things in here that can cure my husband''s illness?"


    The old doctor nodded with a blank face. He opened the bottle and took a sniff. Then, his expression immediately changed.


    "This thing is poisonous, but it''s extremely similar to the poison in your husband''s body."


    Saying that, he smelled it a few more times and sighed: "There is cinnabar added in here. Other than a wealthy family, who would dare to add such a large amount? "Dare I ask ¡­!"


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei snatched the medicine back and threw it to little Fugui. She stared at him for a while, gritting her teeth, then ran away.


    Xiao Fugui let out an indiscernible sigh and chased after her.


    After running away, Jin Weiwei felt a bit sad. That old doctor''s words further confirmed her thoughts. The background of this little rich kid was not simple, and he might even be the son of a rich family.


    Perhaps her family had already come looking for her and she already had the heart to leave. Only she was still foolishly making money to buy him medicine.


    Jin Weiwei''s wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone. She immediately let go and coldly turned her back to him. "I''m tired. Let''s go back."


    She also wanted to call some of the servants from the manor over to make sausages. Since the men were gone, she couldn''t afford to lose her career as well.


    Seeing her back, a trace of helplessness appeared in the eyes of little Fugui as he silently followed behind her.


    The more Jin Weiwei thought about it, the more wronged she became. Did this man not have anything to say to her?


    His heart was strongly oppressed, and his eyes were soon filled with tears, as if something was about to burst out. Thinking of the people behind him, Jin Weiwei was forced back again.


    Shame!


    She had to shed tears for such a small matter. Without little rich children, she would have many little rich children. She would make money, and she would not be able to get anything else.


    "Tao Xiaoqing!"


    Tao Xiaoqing was frightened by this sudden roar. When he raised his head, he saw Jin Weiwei''s face darken.


    "Boss, what happened?"


    Tao Xiaoqing asked with concern. His boss rarely got so angry. Something must have happened.


    "Go to the Manor ¡­!" "No, I''ll go. You stay here and guard it well."


    Perhaps she realized that her tone wasn''t right, but Jin Weiwei changed the topic and turned around to look at little rich and rich, quickly adjusting the expression on her face.


    "You stay here and settle the score."


    His tone was extremely calm, but even Tao Xiaoqing could tell that something was wrong. This boss was too calm.


    Seeing how Jin Weiwei seemed to be even colder when facing little rich and noble children, a thought came to her mind.


    After Jin Weiwei had left a little further away, Tao Xiaoqing looked towards little Fugui. "Brother Fugui, have you angered the boss?"


    Xiao Fugui didn''t say anything. He just stared at Jin Weiwei''s back, lost in thought.


    "Rich brother, this is your fault. No matter how powerful the boss is, she is a woman and needs to be coaxed. If this woman''s mood isn''t right, she might do something wrong ¡­"


    Seeing that Xiao Fu Gui didn''t say anything, Tao Xiaoqing understood. Before he could finish, Xiao Fu Gui''s figure was nowhere to be seen.


    Seeing this, Tao Xiaoqing could not help but sigh. This wealthy older brother was good everywhere, but it was just too stuffy.


    Jin Weiwei hired a carriage, and the moment she got on the carriage, she couldn''t hold back her tears anymore. She cried for a while in silence, when she suddenly heard some noise coming from outside.


    He discovered that there were a lot of yamen runners outside. What were they doing here, since this was the outskirts?


    "Big brother, do you know what''s going on?"

 C145

    Jin Weiwei pushed aside the curtain and asked the driver.


    The coachman sighed, "There was a flood in Qingshui County next door. The Emperor ordered the county''s elders to take care of it, and the county''s lord ordered people to build a large shed for the victims. The natural disaster and man-made disasters will always be caused by us commoners."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei looked towards the bustling yamen runners. There were many victims gathered nearby, most of whom were here to help. Everyone''s face was filled with grief and desolation. The entire scene was indescribably depressing.


    Putting down the curtain, Jin Weiwei let out a sigh. She didn''t know how Wang Hai would handle this matter.


    Soon, they arrived at the manor, and Jin Weiwei called for the ingot.


    "The butcher must be in a hurry. Go and pick out two of the stronger ones or those who have killed pigs before."


    Perhaps it was because she had cried just now, but Jin Weiwei''s voice was still hoarse and her eyes were red. When she fell into Yuanbao''s eyes, her eyes immediately turned cold.


    "What''s the matter with you?"


    "Hmm?"


    Jin Weiwei raised her head. Seeing the caring eyes of Yuanbao, she was somewhat puzzled.


    When he met her unfamiliar gaze, Yuanbao''s body felt even colder. Shaking his head, he turned and left.


    What''s wrong?


    Jin Weiwei looked confused. She didn''t do anything, right? Why did that ingot seem like she owed him money?


    After a long sigh of relief, Jin Weiwei tried to dispel the depression in her heart.


    She still had space to spare for the rice. She still had three hundred catties left, and they were all waiting for her.


    No, she had to think of a way. It would be too slow for her to take it in by herself, but she couldn''t let anyone else know her secret ¡­


    That''s right!


    She could do that!


    Soon, Jin Weiwei gathered all the people in the manor and had Pearl and Jadeite find a few ox-carts.


    Soon after, Jin Weiwei had everyone cover their eyes and bring them to a remote place.


    Jin Weiwei looked around to make sure that there was no one around and then walked to a tree as thick as ten people''s waists. She then opened the door to the space in a low voice.


    "Now, listen to me, you all hold hands. The place I''m going to take you all to is a very secretive place. Do not take off any blinders until I tell you to, do you hear me?"


    "Yes."


    Jin Weiwei nodded and took Pearl''s hand to bring her into the space. Only when everyone had entered did she finally feel relieved. She whispered to the door not to open and told everyone to remove the eyepatch.


    Everyone looked around and found that the sky was actually as warm as spring. Ever since they came in, their bodies had become much more comfortable.


    "Alright, stop looking around. Collect the rice in the fields for me."


    Jin Weiwei coughed lightly with a serious face. Everyone lowered their heads in fear and went to work in a flurry.


    Seeing this, Jin Weiwei could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Luckily, the people here valued people above and below, otherwise she would not be able to fool these people.


    On the other side of the manor, little Fugui arrived just in time. When he went out this morning, he told Mo Feng and the rest not to follow him. Unfortunately, those few people were stubborn, so he told them to stay hidden.


    When the little rich kid rushed over, he did not see anyone in the manor. He searched every yard, but there was no one around.


    Xiao Fugui couldn''t help but frown. "Mo Ba."


    A black shadow instantly appeared in front of Xiao Fugui. With a respectful expression, he said, "Crown Prince."


    "Find out where she is."


    "Yes."


    In less than an incense''s time, Mo Ba had returned.


    "Your Highness, I found a few traces of a car being crushed outside the manor. It should be ¡­" a trace of Miss Jin''s passage. "


    Mo Ba hesitated for a moment before giving Jin Weiwei a suitable title.


    Hearing this, Xiao Fugui did not say a word, but his expression was not good. In his mind, the words of Tao Xiaoqing, "I''m not sure if I will do something bad."


    "Find her."


    "Yes."


    "Yes!" Mo Ba responded. He waved his hand towards a certain area behind him. The forest in the distance moved, and a few black shadows shot towards Mo Ba''s direction.


    As for Jin Weiwei, she was in the middle of a heated discussion.


    Jin Weiwei was alone at the edge of the field, watching the people fall into a trance. Little Fugui didn''t say anything, and it wasn''t necessarily what she was thinking. But why didn''t he explain it to her?


    Liar!


    Men don''t have any good things!


    Why didn''t he chase after her when she left?


    She would not be angry if she was interested in little rich kids like that, Jin Weiwei thought with a wronged expression. She had completely forgotten about the matter of making people in the shop settle accounts.


    Seeing that most of the rice in the field had been collected, Pearl and the emerald couldn''t help but set their eyes on Jin Weiwei. They discovered that their master''s face was sometimes sad, sometimes gnashing his teeth, and sometimes looking like he was about to kill someone.


    "What do you think happened to Master?"


    "..." "Hmm, did you see that? The man that followed Master last time is gone."


    Jadeite was his sister, and he had a lot more imagination than his sister. He blinked as he looked at his sister.


    Pearl frowned and whispered, "You''re saying ¡­ Master and her man had a falling out? "


    "How can that be? It''s obvious that the master is angry and waiting for the male owner to coax him."


    Jadeite rolled her eyes, her elder sister was great at anything, just that she didn''t understand the situation.


    Pearl nodded thoughtfully. Coincidentally, the people at the back of the line had almost finished collecting their things. The two sisters then walked over to Jin Weiwei.


    "Mistress, the rice has all been collected."


    Jin Weiwei came back to her senses. She almost fell down the moment she got up. She had been squatting for too long, her feet had gone numb.


    Fortunately, the emerald eyes were quick enough to support her.


    "You filled the basket? "So fast?"


    How long have they been here?


    "Yes, we used to be farmers. We are good at this sort of thing."


    Jadeite raised his little face and said proudly.


    Jin Weiwei nodded. "blindfolded. Carry your basket and follow my voice."


    Although Pearl and Jade were strange, they didn''t dare to go against Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei waited until everyone had been sent out of the space before she called for the door to be closed. She then said, "Take away the blindfold."


    "Ai, why is it dark now?"


    The pearl was very strange. Just a moment ago, it was a clear blue sky, but why did it suddenly turn black? He then moved to another place and looked back. Other than the deep forest, there was nothing else.


    Xiao Fugui crouched down and saw the footprints left by two empty ox-carts. There were also many footprints nearby, but they disappeared into the forest as if they had vanished into thin air.


    Xiao Fugui''s gaze could not help but darken a bit as he ordered, "Investigate."


    "Crown Prince, there aren''t any bandits or anything of the sort in the surrounding ten miles. It''s impossible for this Miss Jin to be kidnapped."


    After he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Fugui staring at him coldly. Mo Feng pulled him aside and shook his head.


    While they were talking, a commotion suddenly came from the distance, along with the voices of many people.


    In order to prevent her secret from being leaked, Jin Weiwei bought two ox-carts as soon as she got off the car. The area was quite remote and normally no one would come here.

 C146

    When he saw the few people standing around the oxcart, with blades in their hands, Jin Weiwei was shocked.


    "Who is it!"


    At the same time as Jin Weiwei discovered them, Mo Ba also discovered them.


    "I should ask who you are and why you are ¡­"


    The words came to an abrupt stop when he saw Little Rich Son.


    In the blink of an eye, Jin Weiwei had already fallen into Little Rich Son''s embrace.


    Mo Ba and Yue Shan looked at each other, for a long time, Mo Ba sighed, and disappeared from the spot in a flash. He did not want to be treated coldly by the prince later, it was too scary.


    Mo Feng followed closely behind. Although Mo Ba was normally a little out of tune, but he understood prince very well.


    "Where did you go?"


    Jin Weiwei had reacted and was about to push Little Rich Son away, but she was frightened by his voice.


    The people behind Jin Weiwei retreated a lot, their male master looked even more terrifying!


    "..." "If you didn''t go anywhere, how did you find this place?"


    Suppressing the fear in his heart, he thought of the few people with sabers just now and struggled to stick his head out, only to discover that there was no one around.


    "What about them?"


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes suddenly turned red, he bit his lower lip and looked at Little Rich Son, was he going to leave?


    "Let''s go."


    "You hid it from me during the day. Are you leaving?" Did your family find you? "


    Jin Weiwei took a deep breath and asked his doubts.


    "I''m not leaving."


    Little Rich Son pulled Jin Weiwei back, and wiped away the tears that had fallen from the corner of her eyes.


    "..." "You can leave now, but if you go with them, your identity won''t be simple, and your illness can be cured as well."


    Little Rich Son was definitely the one who took the medicine from their hands. She had heard the words of the old doctor very clearly, this kind of medicine, only wealthy families could afford it.


    She also understood that if Little Rich Son followed her family back, she would be able to get good treatment. If she followed him, she wouldn''t even have the ability to treat him.


    Little Rich Son didn''t reply. After waiting for a long time, Jin Weiwei didn''t manage to hear a single word from him. He was just about to raise his head, when he was suddenly hugged tightly.


    "If you leave, you will definitely be brought along."


    These words made Jin Weiwei grind his teeth, causing him to be stunned, was he angry?


    She hadn''t even properly settled the score with him yet he was actually angry at her?


    "Going home."


    Just that, before Jin Weiwei could react, Little Rich Son had already pulled Jin Weiwei''s hand and started walking back.


    It left behind a group of servants who had yet to recover from their shock.


    "..."


    Lishui County, Xu Residence.


    "Father, if the price of this Lishui County increases any more, I will definitely take care of it. When that time comes, after father accepts all of these people''s silver, I''m afraid it will be exposed."


    Xu Yu''s feminine face was full of worry. They had come here personally sent by the Queen, otherwise, both father and son would probably lose their lives.


    Before they came, the empress had warned them to be careful, if they could find Regent''s son Ji Jingzhi, it would be for the best.


    So, even if Cheng Yuan violated him, and made him release her, he would only be able to break Cheng Yuan''s legs and let him go.


    If it was in the past, he would have already cut Cheng Yuan into a thousand pieces, how could he let it go?


    "As soon as we arrive at the natural disaster area, the price of the rice noodles will definitely go up. That county won''t suspect Father. If he doesn''t handle this matter well, wouldn''t it be great if your father let me handle it?"


    This way, he would be able to return to the capital as soon as possible.


    The old Regent! He was already laying on the bed and he could still reach out his hand. This time, his Xu Family had received quite a blow and he was also implicated. Luckily, he managed to preserve his little sister''s position as the Empress, so he, Xu Ziqi, still had a chance to rise.


    "You said it like that, but Father died in the hands of Zhu Meng, the prisoner of Xing Si Prison. He is one of the people of Regent, and his methods are so ruthless. We ¡­"


    "Idiot!" How could I, Xu Ziqi, give birth to such a cowardly rat like you! No matter how powerful the Regent is, the palace is still surrounded by the Emperor''s troops! "


    Hearing that, Xu Yu said in a low voice: "Then if he woke up, wouldn''t the emperor immediately withdraw his troops?"


    "You!"


    Xu Yu Wen shrunk his neck, after a long while, Xu Ziqi angrily returned to his seat. Even if he was angry, Xu Yu Wen was right.


    Wasn''t it because the Regent woke up that caused them to come here? Wasn''t it because they tidied up their Xu Family to show their might to the emperor?


    "Father, if you want me to say it, then do it peacefully. Wang Hai will be transferred next year.


    "What do you know!?" That Wang Hai is one of Zhu Meng''s people! "


    Xu Ziqi scoffed, if not, how could Wang Hai''s age change him so quickly?


    "Father, I feel that we need to hide our strength now, it is not appropriate for us to offend the people of Regent."


    Hearing that, Xu Ziqi suddenly raised his head, and with a fattening face he said fiercely: "Are you my son or not, how can you always be so proud of others!"


    "No, Father. What I mean is, even if you want to offend us, don''t do it in the open. We just arrived at Lishui County, so Zhu Meng''s people must be watching us!"


    Xu Ziqi thoughtfully nodded his head, the gaze that he looked at Xu Yu Xi with turned to look at him with admiration, which was the reason why he was bringing his youngest son.


    "Father, you said that the victims will definitely be sick from the flood. If there was a plague or something like that, Wang Hai''s black hat would not be able to protect him ¡­"


    Seeing that Xu Ziqi''s face was slightly better, Xu Huai immediately sat down on the chair beside Xu Ziqi.


    Xu Ziqi was startled, he raised his head to look at Xu Yu Xi, and said fearfully: "Son, you should know, once the plague breaks out, not even the Heavenly Emperor can save you. At that time, the Emperor will order the sealing of Lishui County, and neither you nor I will be able to get out!"


    "Dad, then you''d better worry too much. Will Little Aunt ignore us when the time comes?" The Emperor still needs to borrow the power of the Xu Family to fight against the Regent. "


    Right, why didn''t he think of this?


    "In that case, not only will Wang Hai not be able to protect himself, he might not even be able to keep his little life!"


    The two of them glanced at each other before laughing.


    At night, everyone fell asleep. However, two black figures rushed into Little Rich Son''s room.


    Little Rich Son was jolted awake. The dagger under his pillow was unsheathed and with a flash of cold light, it was placed across Mo Ba''s neck.


    "prince! It''s me! "


    Mo Ba retreated two steps, and touched his neck in fear. Even if prince lost her memories, her martial arts skills were still so terrifying!


    If he knew earlier, he wouldn''t have given the dagger to prince.


    Even though it was night time, Mo Feng could still feel the coldness of Little Rich Son''s body.


    "prince, there''s news from Beijing."


    Mo Feng lowered his head and passed a letter to Little Rich Son.


    Taking the letter, Little Rich Son lit the candle in his room and opened it to have a close look.

 C147

    After he finished, Little Rich Son''s expression did not change in the slightest.


    This confused Mo Ba.


    Mo Feng, who was beside him, suddenly kneeled down. "prince, the Prince has already woken up.


    "I''m not going back."


    The letter turned into ashes on the candle flame with Little Rich Son''s flick of a wrist.


    "prince! You are outside now, so Xu Family and the people of the Emperor must be eyeing you like a tiger eyeing its prey.


    "I''m going back ¡­"


    Little Rich Son turned his head and looked at him: "So you can help him?"


    Mo Feng could not understand the look in their eyes, but he did not believe that the prince did not believe them!


    "prince, I have Senior Servant Yu Ping''s keepsake here. Back then, we were separated from you and Senior Servant Yu Ping. Now that you see it this way, Aunt Yuping also died. I know you don''t believe us, but you are prince''s wet nurse. prince can''t possibly not have any impression of her, right? "


    Mo Feng was very anxious. The Duke had said that he had to bring the prince back as soon as possible, and now that the second master of the Xu Family had been sent to this place, wasn''t it the threat the Emperor posed to the Duke?


    Little Rich Son looked at the jade pendant in Mo Feng''s hand and frowned; he had seen this jade pendant before.


    In that dream, it had appeared ¡­


    This jade pendant was somewhat black in color. If one smelled it carefully, there would also be the stench of blood. It was a perfect match to the bloody scene in the dream.


    Unfortunately, Little Rich Son couldn''t think of anything at the moment.


    "I''m not going back."


    It was still the same words, Mo Feng and Mo Ba were about to go crazy.


    Mo Ba became anxious and immediately said: "prince, if you like Miss Kim, then bring her back to the capital. Give her a name, is that enough?"


    "No."


    With her character, it was impossible.


    "prince!"


    "Little Rich Son, it''s so late, why aren''t you sleeping?"


    The two were just about to continue persuading, when Jin Weiwei knocked on the door. The two of them looked at each other, and then disappeared.


    Little Rich Son hid the jade pendant and went to open the door for Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei was draped with a piece of clothing. Because she had just woken up, her small face was slightly flushed.


    "Come in."


    She woke up in the middle of the night and went to the toilet. Seeing that Little Rich Son''s room was still lit, she was curious and came to take a look. Normally, she rarely entered Little Rich Son''s room, but this time, her interest was piqued.


    As soon as she entered the door, she saw that everything was in perfect order. It didn''t look like her room at all, and was scattered about in a mess.


    As he turned around, he nearly knocked into Little Rich Son''s chest, and only now did he realize how close the distance between the two of them was.


    "You, were you talking to someone just now?"


    Jin Weiwei''s face was redder than before, as he coughed and took two steps back.


    As if he had unconsciously walked two steps closer, Little Rich Son finally answered, "No."


    "Oh ¡­" I just came to see why you didn''t sleep so late. If there''s nothing else, I''ll be leaving first. "


    Finished, Jin Weiwei wanted to escape, she stayed here very much.


    Little Rich Son lowered his eyes and looked at her, his brows slightly knitted as he grabbed her.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "Nothing ¡­" "Ah, that''s right. There have been a lot of victims recently. I saw that there were people from other families who provided porridge. I also thought that since you have the medicine, it would be good to have so much money to save others."


    Jin Weiwei looked at him very seriously, her brows filled with confidence, as she emitted a dazzling brilliance.


    Actually, what she was thinking was that this money was too easy to earn. She always felt uneasy in her heart, wanting to do something.


    Perhaps it was because he was amused by her appearance, but when Jin Weiwei heard Little Rich Son''s extremely soft laughter, Jin Weiwei felt that the cool breeze was like a bright moon, and did not have the magnetism of a young man.


    Jin Weiwei''s heart skipped a beat, she did not dare look at Little Rich Son, gritting her teeth, she wanted to pat him, had she become an idiot?


    He had come to a man''s room in the middle of the night just to talk about such a terrible thing.


    "Alright."


    Just as Jin Weiwei was trying his best to suppress his heart to jump down to his throat, Little Rich Son''s clear voice once again landed on her head.


    "..." "Yeah, it''s too late. I''m going back to sleep."


    Jin Weiwei bit her lower lip and ran back to her room as if she was escaping. She felt that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to resist pushing Little Rich Son down.


    She was an old aunt, how could she have any ill intentions towards a youth! Too shameful!


    The next day, when Jin Weiwei just got up and went to the butcher''s shop, he saw that the entire street was filled with people heading towards one place.


    When she arrived, she discovered that it was the place where the notice was posted. After squeezed for a long time, Jin Weiwei finally squeezed into the innermost area.


    The surrounding citizens sighed as they thought that Wang Hai was a good official for the citizens, but Jin Weiwei felt that it was natural.


    "Brother, how much have the prices increased?"


    "One silver coin for one liter, and it''s even the worst rice noodles."


    Jin Weiwei was curious for a moment, he asked a question, but he was shocked. It had only been a short while, and the price of the rice noodles had already reached such a level!


    No wonder Kaixian had announced a price cut.


    "Take this opportunity while the county magistrate is lowering the price. Quickly go back and buy more!"


    After reading the notice, someone from the crowd shouted and ran to the rice noodle store like a beehive.


    Jin Weiwei sighed as he returned to the meat shop. In the outer room, there was only Little Rich Son, Tao Xiaoqing and his ingot guarding.


    "Yuanbao, this is five hundred silver taels. Help me buy a batch of noodles at the Moulin Rouge."


    When she raised her head, she saw Little Rich Son, staring blankly at the money she gave to the ingot.


    Jin Weiwei was silent for a moment, and then said: "The two of you go together."


    She was afraid that ordinary people would not be able to win. The strength these two had, along with their martial arts skills, made her feel at ease.


    Wang Hai would not be able to control the price of the Lishui County for long, but if he were to force the citizens into a corner, there would be trouble.


    Lishui County Yard.


    Wang Hai sighed with a frown on his face. His wife, Lady Wang, brought a cloak over his head and asked worriedly: "Master, what are you worrying about? Tell me."


    "You''re a woman, how can you understand such things?"


    Hearing that, Wang Hai became even more agitated, he sat on the Old Master''s chair and sighed.


    "Is the old master bothering about the rice price and the flood?"


    Lady Wang Cheng sat opposite of Wang Hai and sniffed at him softly.


    "Yes, I know that I can''t suppress the price of the rice, but what else can I do?" Lishui County Ya''s warehouse does not even have much grain stored, just that it is empty talk. That Assistant County Magistrate Xu is also troublesome. "


    Hearing that, Lady Wang Cheng actually burst out laughing, Wang Hai raised his head, his face was confused, and anxiously said: "Ah, Madam! You''re already so angry that your eyebrows are burning, how can you still have the mood to laugh? "

 C148

    "I am so anxious that Master Xiao cannot find the right direction, the price of this rice noodle is so high, why don''t you find a company with Lishui County? Pressure? "


    Mrs. Wang stopped laughing, her gentle eyes were full of cunning.


    Wang Hai calmed down a little and seemed to have thought about it.


    "Or maybe the master can find the president of this Lishui County and create a family. Cheng Yu, I heard that he is a young master that looks like jade, I think, will listen to the master for this kind of things."


    That''s right!


    Wang Hai was immediately overjoyed, "My lady, you are truly my good wife!"


    He would go and invite Cheng Yu now.


    Family.


    "Young master, county magistrate said that he would like to invite you to the First Pin Pavilion to have a taste of the wine."


    Wang Mu came in with a solemn face. At this critical moment, when the county magistrate suddenly invited his son, there was nothing good about it.


    "..." Heh, this is not about tasting the wine, this is about going to eat the forfeit. "


    If he still could not see through Wang Hai, then he, Cheng Yu, would have messed around for nothing.


    First level Xuan.


    "Greetings, Lord Wang."


    "Young Master Cheng."


    Wang Hai nodded his head and smiled, he looked up, and saw that Cheng Yu''s entire body was indeed warm like jade, but he did not know if this person''s aura was the same as his entire body.


    "May I know what business Lord Wang has for me to invite me here?"


    Previously, he did not interact much with Wang Hai, so there must be a reason why Wang Hai suddenly invited him like that.


    As the parent official in charge of the Lishui County, this county feels very sad. As you all have earned money from the people, you should earn it from the people as well. I heard that a family was the first one to become one of the members of the Lishui County Merchant Guild, I wonder if Young Master Cheng would be willing to put in even half the effort for these suffering citizens?


    Wang Hai had said a lot of nonsense previously, and had finally let him understand that it was to make him pay the price of the rice noodles as the president of the merchant guild. However, this would only help Wang Hai''s reputation as a good official, and it was even possible that he would offend all the merchants in Lishui County or even more people.


    However, Wang Hai''s words had already tied him up. If he did not agree, then he was afraid that he would lose his image as an elegant young master.


    "My lord, please honor me. Although I have taken over the position of the president of my old man, there are still those in this Chamber of Commerce who would not accept me. Many things still require my old man to decide."


    Wang Hai could not help but squint his eyes. This Cheng Yu was not as gentle as the people said he was.


    "Young Master Cheng''s words are too polite. Who doesn''t know that Cheng Young Master Yu is not only a noble and elegant man, but also someone who can move with lightning speed?"


    Wang Hai stroked his beard, his words sounded extremely threatening, causing Cheng Yu''s eyes to darken. If he agreed, then who knows what sort of tricks the old people in the merchant guild would play?


    "Sir Wang, can you allow me to go back and discuss this with the Old Master?"


    "Then when will Young Master Yu Cheng give me his answer?"


    Wang Hai was not stupid, he knew that this was Cheng Yu''s excuse, but he refused to let it go.


    "..." Three days. "


    "Alright, Young Master Yu Cheng, you have to do it quickly, the citizens of Lishui County cannot wait, and they have caused a huge commotion as well. I am afraid that even Yunhai County will be implicated, and the merchants of Lishui County should not go out to sea."


    Hearing that, the smile on Cheng Yu''s face froze for a moment, and there was some anger hidden on his face, Wang Hai was trying to threaten him!


    Blocking all the shops in the Lishui County from going to sea, letting these people know that it was because he did not agree to lower the price of the Rice Noodle Roll, that was the only way the prefectural city of Zhixian would remove their right to go to sea. Then, his position as the president of the merchant guild would not be able to be preserved.


    "Lord, this humble one has a request."


    Wang Hai raised his eyebrows. After his previous beating, he believed that it would be able to let Cheng Yu know that both sides were on the verge of failure.


    "As long as it''s something that can help the citizens of Lishui County, I will agree to it."


    Cheng Yu sneered in his heart, this Wang Hai really did not forget to disguise himself at all times.


    "Cheng Yu requested for Master to give this commoner a method to stop the Lishui County merchant from going to sea."


    "Oh?"


    "I believe that Lord will be able to see the results within three days."


    This time, Cheng Yu had completely given in. The smile on Wang Hai''s face finally became sincere, and he said repeatedly: "This county will handle it for Young Master Cheng when we go back, once we finish handling the matter with Lishui County, this county will definitely engrave the name of the Young Master Cheng on the achievement monument."


    "Thank you, my lord."


    "..."


    "How many rice noodles did you buy?"


    After about an hour, Jin Weiwei finally saw that the two of them had returned, and could not help but ask.


    "Fifty bags of rice, thirty bags of white noodles, forty bags of black noodles and sixty-six bags of millet."


    With the appearance of the ingot, Jin Weiwei calculated in her mind, the price of the rice noodles did not drop by much, she had only bought it for five hundred silver, she spent all her money on a manor.


    "Let the men from the Rice Noodle Roll it to the manor in front of everyone."


    Jin Weiwei pressed on the corner of her eyebrows. She reckoned that the price of the rice would rise again tomorrow.


    "Here is 10 taels of silver, go find a carpenter to set up a porridge shed at Changping Lane, where there are the most victims. Before this, inform the official that they were captured by the patrolling yamen runner."


    The tent of the government was built, but the number of victims was increasing day by day. Naturally, it could not be stored, so there were still some people who gathered at Chang Ping Lane. When it came to Chang Ping Lane, it was the place where the poor gathered.


    Jin Weiwei could not help but be worried, the environment there was not good, there would definitely be people getting sick, but she could not care so much, she had better settle her own matters first.


    "Yuanbao, the seeds I planted for you guys right?"


    Because the weather was getting colder, Jin Weiwei did not let the humans eat the rice. Instead, he turned them into corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other living things.


    When they were short of food, these things were the best of the best.


    "They''ve all been planted."


    Yuanbao expressionlessly looked at her. He lifted his eyelids, and discovered that Little Rich Son, who was facing him, was looking back at him with a cold gaze.


    The corner of Jin Weiwei''s mouth twitched, the two of them are incompatible, right?


    They were like enemies the moment they met.


    "Let''s plant some green flowers."


    In her previous life, she remembered that this medicine was used to treat malaria, so she didn''t know if she would be able to survive such a cold weather.


    "What''s green?"


    Ah?


    Jin Weiwei raised his head in confusion, the ancients could not recognize this thing?


    When he recovered, he couldn''t help but sigh. That''s right, many people didn''t know about this in the modern world, and the ancients probably knew even less.


    "Go to the pharmacy and ask for a copy of the herb map. Go up the mountain and see if you can find it at this time of the year."


    Yuan Bao nodded, and only left after looking at Little Rich Son.


    After he finished speaking, Jin Weiwei''s heart was finally at ease. She turned her head to look at the black mass of clouds, and muttered: "The sky is going to change!"

 C149

    It was not yet evening before the rain began to fall. Beads of rain began to fall on the ground, soon turning the dusty ground into a puddle of water.


    There was also a hint of coldness mixed in the air.


    Cheng Yu took the rain and returned home, the cold air around his body had yet to dissipate, he had already instructed Wang Mu: "You sent someone to write a thread inviting a few rich men from the Rice Noodle Merchant Guild, saying that you have something urgent to discuss with them."


    "Gongzi, what you''re doing ¡­ "The Old Master ¡­"


    Wang Mu was a little hesitant. Ever since the incident with Cheng Yuan last time, the Old Master''s attitude towards his young master was not his nose, nor his eyes. He had always suppressed his young master.


    "Go."


    Cheng Yu was the opposite of the usual Leng Ning. No matter what he did, the Old Master would not be satisfied with it, as he was the one talking about the Lishui County, the Old Master did not care about the matters of the merchant guild for a long time, he did not believe that the Old Man of the merchant guild would not take notice.


    He felt pity for so many victims of the disaster in his eyes. He also let Cheng''s shop build a porridge shed to express his thoughts.


    If he couldn''t change anything just because he showed mercy to the people, then Wang Hai was taking it too for granted. The group of people from the Lishui County Chamber of Commerce were all a bunch of old cunning fellows who only ate flesh and bones, what could they possibly hope for?


    As it was raining, and there weren''t many guests, Jin Weiwei closed the door and focused on making the sausages. Since the sausages were her foundation, she should focus on making them.


    After walking two rounds, and giving some pointers, Jin Weiwei felt that he had nothing else to do, so he brought Little Rich Son home.


    As soon as he entered, a dense smell of alcohol wafted in the air, Jin Weiwei frowned and fanned himself.


    "Jin Dabao! Where did you get the money for the wine? "


    Jin Dabao, who was lying on the doorstep, almost tripped Jin Weiwei, but luckily, he reacted quickly and helped him up.


    "Who are you ¡­" Jin Weiwei! "Good daughter, dad heard that you recently earned some money and gave it to your dad to spend. No matter what, I''ve kept you for so many years, don''t you think ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei pushed him away disdainfully, the smell of the alcohol making her feel dizzy.


    Little Rich Son pulled Jin Weiwei over, and with one hand holding onto Jin Dabao''s collar, his cold eyes closed in on Jin Dabao: "Money, where did you get it from?"


    Upon seeing that it was Little Rich Son, Jin Dabao was startled, and immediately sobered up.


    "No, no one gave it to me."


    "Why aren''t you saying it!" I haven''t given you any money lately. Did you steal it? If you don''t want to say it, I''ll send you to the Duke''s place! "


    Hearing about it, Jin Dabao was stunned: "I say! I say! I took the money from the beggar. "


    "What?"


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s face was filled with disbelief, looking at Jin Dabao''s face, there were still some bruises, obviously left over from a fight.


    "I say, Jin Dabao! How can you be so ashamed? Didn''t I give you a few taels of silver last time? Where are the flowers? "


    "You, how could the money you gave me be enough? Is it... "It''s not enough for me to find my servant ¡­"


    As he said till the end, Jin Dabao''s voice had already become softer and softer.


    "Throw him into the room."


    Jin Weiwei was impatient, he ignored Jin Dabao and directly got Little Rich Son to throw him out.


    "..."


    First level Xuan.


    Cheng Yu and the people from the Chamber of Commerce had never come to their own restaurants, if they were to their own restaurants, it would be hard to avoid disrespecting them.


    "Young Master Cheng, it''s been a long time."


    "Young Master Cheng, I heard that your home is not so peaceful these days. Has everything been settled?"


    There were always one or two discordant voices, and the person who spoke was only second to the Ma family, Ma Chengfu.


    When he was young, he was the restaurant''s waiter. He worked hard at the pier and did everything, then saved up some money and bought a small field. The rice he grew was very popular among the rich in Lishui County and gradually got up.


    But what Cheng Yu heard was another version, it said that Ma Chengfu secretly did the work of selling good women before getting up, and Cheng Yu found out that Ma Chengfu had a few secret brothels, so he was even more unfond of.


    "Since when did Boss Ma care about the private matters of my family?"


    Ma Chengfu''s smile was slightly stiff, the gold teeth that were embedded with it glistened, and was so plain that people would hate it.


    "Young Master Cheng is the president of this Lishui County Merchant Guild, as a person of the Merchant Guild, shouldn''t he be concerned? If Young Master Cheng is unable to manage matters of the merchant guild, I can do it on your behalf. "


    "I don''t like Boss Ma''s words. What do you mean by taking care of the Young Master Cheng''s work for them? Your family''s rice noodles are causing chaos and killing people. Let''s settle this first!"


    The one who spoke was''s opponent, Zhou Yuan. The two had similar experiences, but Zhou Yuan was more serious, so he looked down on Ma Chengfu.


    After saying that, the surrounding people roared with laughter, Ma Chengfu''s face flushed red and green as he changed his tone, saying, "Isn''t that great?"


    "Alright, let''s not argue anymore. Everyone sit down, Cheng Yu has something to tell everyone."


    Seeing Cheng Yu''s serious face, everyone did not dare act rashly, and sat down.


    Ma Chengfu also sat down unwillingly. One day, he would pull down this brat who had yet to grow all his hair!


    "I wonder what the Young Master Cheng has to say to us?"


    "Everyone, this morning, county magistrate came to find me."


    Cheng Yu sipped his tea and looked at the crowd''s reaction.


    "But do you want us to lower the price of the noodles? Young Master Cheng has agreed to it? "


    There was no lack of people who were on good terms with Wang Hai, but they were all just acting on the surface, all for the sake of making things easier normally.


    Moreover, Wang Hai did not accept any bribes and kept his promise. Therefore, most of the people present did not dare to be too rash.


    However, it was now a threat to his own interests. One or two of them seemed to be carrying a layer of courage as they kept up with the warriors on the battlefield.


    "county magistrate indeed wanted Cheng Yu to advise everyone not to raise the price of the rice noodles, and Cheng Yu had rejected her at the start. After all, this rice is different from the salt, and you can raise the price when you are special, that is the rule."


    Everyone nodded, but Ma Chengfu simply sneered: "county magistrate has already sent out a notice for everyone to lower the price of the noodles, Young Master Cheng, are you deceiving us so that you can please county magistrate?"


    Cheng Yu coldly swept his gaze across him. "Do I, Cheng Yu, need to please the county magistrate?"


    These words had unwittingly slapped Ma Chengfu''s face, who didn''t know that Cheng Yu was now connected to the backer of an even larger family?


    "It''s just that Cheng Yu had no choice and agreed."


    As soon as he said that, the people who were flattering Cheng Yu immediately changed their expressions, "Young Master Cheng, this is your mistake, the price of the rice noodles is already agreed upon by the inner chamber of commerce, and it is normal for the merchants to raise the price, but now that the price is too low, everyone will lose!"

 C150

    Ma Chengfu snorted: "What Young Master Cheng did is not fair."


    What he liked to see the most was Cheng Yu''s reputation being destroyed in the Chamber of Commerce.


    Cheng Yu smiled gently at the questions of the crowd. Looking at Wang Mu, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeves, which had a dark red official''s seal on it which made everyone shut their mouths successfully.


    "It''s not what Cheng Yu wants, but it''s just that... Sigh, Wang Mu, let everyone take a look. "


    Cheng Yu sighed, with a helpless look on his face, a cold smile appeared on his face.


    After everyone had read about it, those people who were still aggressive earlier immediately ceased their actions. Their faces all became pale as if they were dead.


    "Young Master Cheng, why haven''t we received this letter yet?"


    If the county magistrate really didn''t allow their caravan to go to sea, he would have told them, not let Cheng Yu.


    Therefore, doubts were raised on the spot.


    "It was Cheng Yu who blocked this document, of course everyone here wouldn''t be able to receive it."


    Cheng Yu smiled faintly, his meaning was already so obvious. If these people could not think of this, then the Lishui County Chamber of Commerce would not stay.


    "Young Master Cheng, do you mean that if we do not lower the price of the noodles, the county magistrate will give us this document?"


    Cheng Yu nodded his head, and everyone''s expression became gloomy, the entire room became extremely noisy, and after a while, everyone finally came to a conclusion:


    "Young Master Cheng, we are willing to cooperate with your orders."


    It was not like they would lose out if the price of rice dropped. Most of them relied on the sea to support their families, so if they were locked up, they would suffer a small loss.


    "If that''s the case, then it''s extremely good. Cheng Yu will apologize to everyone here."


    "Young Master Cheng, no need to blame yourself. You are doing this for everyone''s benefit!"


    Zhou Yuan sighed, and everyone followed to thank Cheng Yu.


    Cheng Yu handled everyone politely. He was already used to this kind of situation where people often changed their expressions.


    "..."


    It was night, and the sky was filled with drizzles of rain. The freezing air in the world seemed to have been completely released at that moment. Even the people hiding in the rooms felt that the rain was extremely heavy.


    "You have to install a stove in this house another day. If you keep doing this for too long, I''m afraid you''ll get rheumatism."


    Jin Weiwei was from the south in her previous life, but she lived in the north.


    "What disease is rheumatism?"


    Little Rich Son asked curiously. He blinked his eyes and said, "It''s exactly where it hurts."


    Saying that, Jin Weiwei rubbed his knees. Speaking of which, she had some small problems with rheumatism in her previous life. In this life, perhaps it was because of space, but instead there was no such thing.


    "Does it hurt?"


    Just as Jin Weiwei was in a daze, Little Rich Son had already crouched down in front of him and was rubbing her knees.


    The boiling hot temperature spread through the clothes all the way to Jin Weiwei''s body, causing his entire being to instantly stiffen, his heart beating a little quickly.


    It''s over, she was someone who had no future. Once she came into contact with Little Rich Son, she would lose control of her heart.


    Jin Weiwei squatted and pulled his hand away. When she looked up, she saw his puzzled yet clear eyes that seemed like the stars in the sky. "It''s just a bit numb ¡­"


    Even the numbness had made her legs go limp.


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son frowned, he then bent down and carried her, and the distance between the two of them immediately became zero.


    Jin Weiwei''s heart beat even faster, he bit his lower lip and lowered his head, not wanting Little Rich Son to put him down.


    She was too nervous, but being hugged like this by Little Rich Son felt really comfortable!


    Also... He also had a sense of security.


    "I''m going to get a doctor."


    Jin Weiwei came back to reality. Seeing that he was really going to ask for a doctor, she anxiously pulled him.


    "Don''t go!"


    Little Rich Son turned his head, and pulled at the corner of her blanket, and said: "If it''s painful, then you have to see a doctor."


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but roll his eyes at the tone of this lesson, but his heart was still filled with joy.


    "I''m fine, just that I was numb from your touch just now."


    "Hmm?"


    Little Rich Son paused for two seconds, his earlobes suddenly flushed red, Jin Weiwei could not help but want to tease him when he saw his cute look.


    Her petite hand moved along Little Rich Son''s hand and climbed onto his shoulder. Looking at his eyes that were getting deeper and deeper, her hand slipped and suddenly hugged his waist.


    "Aiya, my legs are even more numb now, what should I do ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei was now hanging from Little Rich Son''s body. As someone who frequently entered the dimension, her current skin was no longer as rough as it was when she had transmigrated here.


    It wasn''t smooth, but it was whiter by two points and was also smooth. Little Rich Son turned his face to look at her side face that had grown another two parts, and the color of his earlobes became even darker by two parts.


    "Come down."


    "No!"


    After saying that, Jin Weiwei knew that Little Rich Son had seen through her, but she, Jin Weiwei, had always been a shameless person.


    "..." Have you thought it through? "


    Jin Weiwei hesitated for two seconds, why did she feel that she needed to answer this question seriously?


    Without waiting for her to reply, he had already felt the sky spinning and the earth spinning. When she opened her eyes, Little Rich Son''s face that could anger both man and god was right in front of her. For real?


    "..." I''m kidding, you don''t have to... "Ugh ¡­"


    When teasing others, she was very good at it, but when it really came down to it, she was terrified again.


    Little Rich Son only had her pink lips moving up and down in her eyes, she only felt her mouth going dry, following her brain, she covered it up.


    The soft touch made Jin Weiwei freeze, then his entire body froze.


    She, she isn''t ready yet ¡­


    While she was still in a daze, the soft power suddenly increased, almost causing her to suffocate.


    Feeling that Little Rich Son''s hand was sliding down and touching the place where her clothes were tied, Jin Weiwei fiercely held his hand.


    Little Rich Son raised his head. His face was unnaturally red, "I, I wasn''t prepared ¡­"


    Unexpectedly, Jin Weiwei only saw the corner of her lips curled up, and the hand that grabbed onto the corner of her skirt was imprisoned on top of her head.


    A slightly hoarse voice sounded in his ears, "I asked you that just now."


    What?


    When did he ask her?


    Did you think it through?


    How would she know that Little Rich Son was referring to this? If she was, then she would get off Little Rich Son''s body.


    A kiss fell on her earlobe and it felt like an electric shock to Jin Weiwei.


    "I was wrong, I won''t be like this next time ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei bit her lips and pleaded for mercy, but that soft, wet voice sounded like she was begging for joy.


    Little Rich Son frowned as he looked at her. The sound of his breathing couldn''t help but become louder, and the scheming in his eyes made Jin Weiwei feel afraid.


    "Boss!" "Rich brother!"


    Just then, Tao Xiaoqing''s voice came out from the courtyard. Jin Weiwei got up in shock, but forgot to hold onto Little Rich Son. As he was about to fall, he was suddenly held by Little Rich Son.


    Jin Weiwei raised his head and saw that Little Rich Son''s face was dark.

 C151

    With a light cough, he tied the belt that he had untied and put on his clothes. He turned around to look at Little Rich Son and realized that his clothes were only slightly wrinkled.


    "What is it?"


    "Boss, your father was kidnapped."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s blushing face immediately turned white: "What happened?"


    "Boss, we were going to close today. Who knew that a little beggar would come and give me a letter. Not only is your father''s item in the letter, but he also wants you to give him a thousand taels of silver before letting him go."


    Jin Weiwei quickly took the letter from Tao Xiaoqing. Inside, there was a black bag, it belonged to Jin Dabao, and there were only two lines of words on it. She was supposed to take the silver with her to a mountain temple somewhere on the outskirts to redeem people, or else she would tear the money.


    Little Rich Son appeared behind Jin Weiwei and took the envelope. Jin Weiwei turned to look at Tao Xiaoqing.


    "Is there a bandit in this Lishui County?"


    "None... There was one two years ago, but it was taken away by the county lord. After that, there was no one else. "


    Tao Xiaoqing lowered his head and thought for a moment, then replied.


    Jin Weiwei''s expression became grave. Even though Jin Dabao was a bastard, he was still her father after all. He was the one who gave birth to her.


    "Reporting to the officials."


    "Ah?" "However, you may not be able to report this to the government officials. Also, as long as you go alone to redeem our family, we will tear the votes."


    "Hurry up and report this to the county magistrate court, I''ll go get the money."


    If the kidnappers didn''t let the officials know, she wouldn''t report. Jin Dabao was the real danger.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll help you."


    Just as she was panicking, Little Rich Son suddenly spoke out, put his arm around her shoulders and patted her shoulders.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei calmed down, how could she have forgotten, there were guards by Little Rich Son''s side with blade wielding people, they must have martial arts.


    "Mo Feng."


    As soon as Little Rich Son''s words fell, a few black figures appeared in front of the two. Jin Weiwei was dumbstruck as he looked up at the roof.


    "This letter seems like it came from a family."


    Little Rich Son passed the letter to the leading Mo Feng.


    Mo Feng lowered his eyes to take a glance, nodded, and kept it in his bosom. Then, another gust of wind blew, and he disappeared from where he was.


    Jin Weiwei watched in fascination. She finally understood that the experts in the TV dramas weren''t bragging, but there were truly people who could fly over the roof and walk over walls.


    "You said that the letter''s letter was a family letter? How did you know? "


    Jin Weiwei was curious, even someone like her, who had interacted with many people in the Cheng Clan, could not tell how Little Rich Son managed to see through it.


    "If you cooperate with Cheng Yu, I will take all the documents."


    Little Rich Son lowered his eyes and looked at her, seeming to be somewhat helpless.


    So that''s how it was!


    Jin Weiwei thought that this was true, every time she signed a document, wouldn''t that mean that Little Rich Son was the one who held it?


    "Since it''s Cheng''s envelope, could it have been made by Cheng''s family?"


    The only person who made enemies with their own family was Cheng Yuan, but last time Cheng Yu said that Cheng Yuan''s legs were already crippled, how could he have that kind of ability to harm others?


    "Not a family."


    Little Rich Son sighed, making him feel that he had lost another two points.


    "..." You told that, that man in black is Cheng''s family''s envelope, he just wanted to give him some clues so that he can investigate, right? "


    Jin Weiwei paused, and finally understood Little Rich Son''s meaning, and as expected, in the next second she heard Little Rich Son''s faint "En".


    "You go back to the house first, I''ll go get the banknotes, don''t you mean to say that I have to take the banknotes to ransom tonight?" It should expose some flaws, right? "


    Even Jin Weiwei himself did not realize, his voice trembling slightly.


    Knowing that she was afraid, Little Rich Son patted her a few times as he hugged her and said, "Don''t be afraid."


    "Yes."


    For some reason, every time she heard Little Rich Son''s words, she would unconsciously feel at ease.


    "..."


    In a restaurant somewhere in the Lishui County, two fat figures appeared in front of a window that was emitting a faint yellow candlelight.


    "Is everything settled?"


    The person who spoke carried two parts of hostility on his face, and his hazy eyes were filled with hatred. attendant, who was so frightened that he dared not even look up from his words, looked up.


    "It''s all settled, Tao Xiaoqing from Jin Meat Shop has gone to report to the officials."


    "Mm, very good. You can leave."


    Hearing this, that person laughed in satisfaction, causing the entire room to be as terrifying as a ghost.


    "Young Master Cheng, is this Ma satisfactory?"


    Ma Chengfu, who was sitting opposite to Cheng Yuan, laughed, revealing his gold teeth that was glowing with a golden light, looking extremely wretched.


    Cheng Yuan looked up at him and gave a cold laugh: "Boss Ma, are you so eager to work for me? What''s his purpose? "


    He still remembered how this man had found him two or three days ago and told him that he had a way to avenge him. The doctor had told him that he would never be able to walk again, and the hatred in his heart was driving him crazy.


    "Just like how Young Master Yuan Cheng hates Cheng Yu, I also hate him. I am already an experienced person in the Chamber of Commerce, yet a young man took my seat as the chairman. What do you think my goal is?"


    Ma Chengfu said with a beaming smile as he looked at with half-belief and half-doubt.


    There was actually a bit of credibility to his words. The Ma Family had indeed always been at odds with him, and Ma Chengfu had always had the intention of sitting at the President''s seat in the Lishui County Merchant Guild.


    "Hmph ¡­" Without even looking at himself, a mere Ma Clan dared to challenge a family.


    Even if Cheng Yu fell, the Cheng Clan would have other people seated at the President''s seat.


    "So that''s how it is. As long as you take Cheng Yu down, the position of the president will not be in your pockets."


    Ma Chengfu politely laughed. He was not stupid, how could he not know what Cheng Yuan meant, it was just that his goal was not just Cheng Yu, but the entire family.


    "Come, Young Master Cheng, drink a cup for my sake."


    "Come."


    "..."


    Jin Weiwei walked around his room countless of times, his hands had been twisted countless of times, and in the end, he ran to Little Rich Son''s room and knocked on the door.


    "Can I go in?"


    Little Rich Son nodded and pulled her in. It had just rained outside and it was cold inside.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Little Rich Son put on a set of clothes for her and asked while looking at her worried look.


    "It''s nothing, I''m just flustered."


    The moment she felt anxious, she would immediately want to see Little Rich Son. It was only in this way that she would not panic.


    "Nothing."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei stared at Little Rich Son, and suddenly hugged him.


    Little Rich Son was startled, then he heard Jin Weiwei''s muffled voice: "Can I sleep here with you tonight? "No, it''s not that kind of sleep, it''s just, it''s just ¡­"


    Saying that, Jin Weiwei was afraid that Little Rich Son would misunderstand, he explained everything to them, but none of them hit the nail on the head.


    "I know."


    Jin Weiwei lifted her head to look at Little Rich Son. Seeing the faintly discernible smile on his lips, she couldn''t help but think of that kiss in the evening, and her face instantly flushed red.

 C152

    The next day, Jin Weiwei woke up very early. When he first opened his eyes, he was shocked to see Little Rich Son, and only after recuperating for a while did he remember that he went to Little Rich Son''s room to sleep last night.


    Retreating a bit, Jin Weiwei wanted to take Little Rich Son''s hand away, but who knew that Little Rich Son would open his eyes at this moment.


    The arm around her tightened.


    "Did I wake you?"


    Jin Weiwei blinked his eyes. In the end, he was still a little embarrassed, even though the two of them were husband and wife, they still could not be compared to a husband and wife.


    Last night was the first time they had slept together.


    Little Rich Son shook his head, looked at the sky outside, pulled up his blanket, and once again hugged Jin Weiwei.


    "Go to sleep."


    Outside, the sky had yet to light up. It was indeed a bit early by now, but her mind was full of things, so how could she sleep so soundly?


    "Nothing, just sleep for a while and you''ll know who did it."


    Little Rich Son sighed, stroked Jin Weiwei''s back and said softly.


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei thought of Mo Feng who appeared yesterday. Looking at his powerful appearance, he should be able to find out something, right?


    With that thought, she closed her eyes and crawled into Little Rich Son''s embrace.


    Little Rich Son''s breathing became heavy and he opened his eyes.


    When Jin Weiwei woke up, the surroundings were already cold. He couldn''t help but wake up.


    After putting on his clothes randomly, he bumped into Little Rich Son who had entered.


    Seeing her disheveled clothes, Little Rich Son could not help but frown.


    "Have you found anything?"


    Jin Weiwei was too anxious about Jin Dabao, so how could he care so much?


    "Yes."


    Little Rich Son tugged on her clothes, nodded and responded. Looking at Jin Weiwei''s anxious eyes, he said: "Cheng Yuan, Ma Chengfu."


    It really was him!


    "Ma Chengfu? I remember that he is the boss of the Rice Noodle Roll with the largest Lishui County, why would he kidnap Jin Dabao? "


    "I don''t know, Jin Dabao is fine."


    Hearing that Jin Dabao was fine, Jin Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief. At this time, Tao Xiaoqing''s voice came from outside the door: "Dong Clan, the county magistrate has sent someone over, and wants you to follow them."


    "I''ll accompany you."


    Without waiting for Jin Weiwei to speak, Little Rich Son had already pulled her hand, the heat covering the coldness of her palm.


    "..."


    Lishui County Court.


    Wang Hai had a headache from the recent flood, and now a lawsuit was going to be brought against him, causing his head to explode.


    Therefore, even Wang Hai didn''t have a good expression when he saw Jin Weiwei.


    What kind of bad luck did he have?


    He once again saw this Jin Weiwei.


    Because of the particularity of the matter, Wang Hai did not get promoted, but had his men bring Jin Weiwei directly into the inner court.


    "Jin Weiwei, I''ve seen you so many times. What''s the matter this time?"


    Jin Weiwei looked anxious: "Master, this humble woman has offended someone, my father is tied up, this is the letter that the kidnapper gave me."


    Yesterday, he did not consider Zhou Quan, so this letter was not brought by Tao Xiaoqing.


    "This... It''s Cheng''s envelope! "


    Wang Hai accepted the letter, touched it a few times, and his expression changed. It was indeed the letter produced by a family, and there were a lot of it stored in his house.


    "Family? This was the only family I had offended, Cheng Yuan. Your Excellency, you must seek justice for this humble woman. "


    Hearing that, Wang Hai could not help but look at Jin Weiwei, seeing how she was feigning surprise, she probably guessed that the matter was related to their marriage, so she came to his side to act dumb.


    Recalling Jin Weiwei''s craftiness, Wang Hai did not dare to be negligent and said: "Jin Weiwei, since the kidnapper agreed to pay the ransom at night, at that time, you will have to bring the ransom.


    Truly worthy of being a county magistrate. He had already thought of a solution so quickly. Only, it couldn''t be considered a good solution.


    "My lord, if there are too many people, I''m afraid of alerting the kidnappers and tearing my father apart."


    "What do you mean?"


    "This humble woman means that you should find a few people with excellent martial arts skills and ambush them nearby. I''ve finished the deal with the kidnappers, so when Father and I return safely, you can arrest them?"


    On the way over, Jin Weiwei had thought that if the kidnapper was Cheng Yuan, then no matter what, he would not let her off so easily. Thus, no matter how closely these yamen runner followed her, Cheng Yuan would still tear away their votes.


    Furthermore, if it wasn''t Cheng Yuan, then she wasn''t afraid of anyone else. After seeing the strength of the people around Little Rich Son, she felt that it was enough for these people to save Jin Dabao.


    Furthermore, she didn''t know what Little Rich Son''s identity was, what if it was something that couldn''t be revealed?


    "Aren''t you afraid that someone will tear your father to shreds?"


    My lord, if the kidnapper wants to tear the tickets, even if the woman gave me a ransom, the kidnapper will tear the tickets. My lord, if the kidnapper wants to tear the tickets, even if the woman gave me a ransom, the kidnapper will still tear the tickets.


    Although these words were reasonable, Wang Hai still felt that it was inappropriate. If this were his completely filial children, how would they say such words and do such a thing?


    "Sir, this humble woman still has another layer of consideration."


    Seeing Wang Hai''s expression, it seemed that he was dissatisfied with her, so he spoke up again.


    She had already offended Wang Hai before, so her impression of him could no longer be bad.


    Wang Hai turned his head, and his eyes were filled with sincerity: "Master, please imagine, if we let the kidnapper succeed, there will be a next time. I don''t know who it is this time, but once he becomes a bandit group, my master''s reputation will not be good."


    Hearing that, Wang Hai frowned, he had spent a lot of effort in the past two years to finally exterminate the bandits with Lishui County, he couldn''t possibly create another bandit''s nest.


    "Yes, you are a person that forgives small righteousness and looks forward to righteousness. This county has not misjudged you after all."


    Jin Weiwei laughed, who didn''t know how to speak properly?


    Coming out from the inner court of the county magistrate, he saw Little Rich Son guarding the side of the carriage. His heart warmed, but he also felt that it was strange that Little Rich Son seemed to have avoided the people from the official''s house.


    Did he remember something?


    "Come, let''s go back."


    She was so anxious yesterday that she didn''t even enter her spatial ring to take out the banknotes.


    It was almost dusk, and Jin Weiwei was holding the silver in her hand tightly as she panicked. This was the first time she had seen a kidnapper in both her lives.


    Little Rich Son suddenly extended his hand to hold hers, and said: "There''s no harm, I will follow you."


    "..."


    In the evening, Jin Weiwei clenched her teeth and slowly walked into the forest. With every step she took, she felt as heavy as a thousand kilograms and the panic in her heart increased by two points.


    When he reached the designated location, Jin Weiwei still could not find anyone. After pausing for a moment, he shouted loudly: "Is there anyone here?!"


    A group of birds were startled, and suddenly, the forest in front of them started moving, causing Jin Weiwei to hear the sound of weapons.

 C153

    Jin Weiwei retreated two steps, calmly looked at them: "Where''s my father?"


    "Yo, he really came alone. Where''s the silver?"


    The leader was a big guy with a black mole covering almost half of his face. When he smiled, he looked no different from the brothel''s mother, who was just a bit rough.


    Jin Weiwei did not have the heart to appreciate this comical look. She was so scared that her hands were sweating, and her current calm appearance was just forcing herself.


    "I need to see my father before I can give you the silver. Otherwise, you won''t be able to get anything."


    This threat didn''t have the slightest power. She was alone in front of these people, how could she win against them?


    However, the leader didn''t say anything, only nodding towards his lackeys behind him.


    After a while, Jin Dabao who was tied up like a dead pig was dragged up by two people, looking at Jin Dabao''s situation, Jin Weiwei''s face became extremely ugly, she said she could not hear Jin Dabao calling for help, she was actually drunk to the point of being unconscious!


    "Jin Dabao!"


    Jin Weiwei could not help but shout. But who knew that after Jin Dabao spoke twice, he no longer made a sound.


    The surrounding kidnappers roared with laughter, and Hei Zhi, who was the leader, looked at him with disdain, "Golden young madam, with such a father, I would rather have him die, but you actually took the money to redeem him. This bastard is really blessed from his previous life!"


    As he said that, he kicked Jin Dabao twice, causing Jin Weiwei to be extremely anxious, you better not kill him!


    The silver notes are here. Release my father and I will receive them.


    Jin Weiwei took out a stack of silver bills and negotiated with Hei Zhi while trembling in his voice.


    "Cut the crap and put down the silver. Take him away. I, your father, am not willing to kill such a disgusting person!"


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei became relieved, this Jin Dabao was a rascal, but in the end, it was his rascally that saved him, he did not know whether he should thank Jin Weiwei or feel helpless.


    "The silver notes are here!"


    Seeing that Hei Zhi had let go of Jin Dabao and was walking towards her, after taking two steps back, she threw the silver notes in front of Hei Zhi.


    After a while, there were a few black figures in front of him. Mo Feng and the rest were already fighting against Hei Zhi.


    "Who is it!"


    Jin Weiwei''s soul immediately flew out from his body, falling into the familiar embrace. It was Little Rich Son!


    Sensing that his eyes were a little moist, he burrowed into Little Rich Son''s chest and rubbed at it with all his might before raising his head, "Quickly go and take a look at Jin Dabao, I wonder how he is doing."


    Little Rich Son nodded, with a tap of his feet, the surrounding scene became blurry, and when Jin Weiwei opened his eyes, the two of them had already landed in front of him.


    "Jin Dabao! Wake up! "


    Jin Weiwei shook Jin Dabao, but Jin Dabao was still like a dead person, unable to wake up.


    "Jin Dabao! If you don''t get up now, the money will be taken away! "


    Taking a deep breath, Jin Weiwei roared into Jin Dabao''s ear with all his might.


    This extremely powerful voice woke Jin Dabao up from his stupor.


    "What!?" Which grandson dares to snatch this grandpa''s money! "Who is it!?"


    Jin Weiwei sighed, this was indeed the way it was supposed to be.


    Jin Dabao turned his head, just in time to see a few people fighting, his flushed face immediately turned white: "What, what are you doing!"


    With that, Mo Feng and the others finished off Hei Zhi and the others.


    "Shi ¡­" "Mistress, the person has been taken care of."


    Mo Feng habitually wanted to call out to prince, but when he saw Jin Weiwei and Jin Dabao, he changed his mind. If his identity was exposed, it would be extremely dangerous.


    Little Rich Son nodded. Mo Feng stood up on his own accord and disappeared along with Mo Ba, who had a gossipy expression on his face, like the wind.


    Jin Dabao was dumbstruck, he rubbed his eyes to get a better look, but realised that the blade-wielding people had all disappeared.


    "What, what''s going on?"


    "What''s going on? You were almost killed! "These people are from the martial arts world, they just happened to pass by and helped us."


    Jin Weiwei was so angry that he started laughing. This Jin Dabao could really die a hundred times without feeling sorry for it.


    "From the martial arts world? I clearly heard them call out to him ¡­ "


    Jin Dabao looked at Little Rich Son, and the moment he met those cold and sinister eyes, he swallowed back the words that he was about to say.


    "There will be people from the government later. If you say something that you shouldn''t, be careful or you might lose your life!"


    Jin Weiwei squatted in front of Jin Dabao, his face was filled with an unprecedented coldness and haze.


    Seeing that, Jin Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief, she was afraid that Jin Dabao would be foolish, and say something that he shouldn''t have.


    Just as they were dazed for a moment, the forest outside was once again stirred. Looking over, if it wasn''t those yamen runner s from the county magistrate court, what could it be?


    "Catch him!"


    Seeing the kidnappers who were wailing in pain all over the ground, the leader of yamen runner could not help but look at Little Rich Son. There was no one else present, only Little Rich Son seemed to be able to fight him.


    "Chief constable, a few martial artists suddenly came and helped us deal with these kidnappers. We would be very grateful if you could help us find the culprit behind this."


    yamen runner could only nod his head. After all, he was not at the scene, only that his expression was not too good.


    Jin Weiwei exhaled, he had already started sweating when he held onto Little Rich Son''s hand, luckily she did not continue asking.


    "..."


    "Are you okay?"


    Once he returned home, Jin Weiwei immediately pulled Little Rich Son to look around. Seeing that he was only injured on his hands, Jin Weiwei felt at ease.


    Little Rich Son''s gaze never left the expression on her face. The gentleness in her eyes caused Mo Ba, who was on the beam, to stagger for a bit. prince ¡­ This must be emotional.


    The dust suddenly fell from Jin Weiwei''s side, he could not help but raise his head, but did not see anything.


    Little Rich Son glanced at it, and his face turned cold by half. Mo Ba had slapped himself again, and had angered prince again.


    "Are they up there?"


    "Nope."


    Little Rich Son denied immediately and dragged Jin Weiwei back into the room.


    Mo Ba couldn''t help but rub his nose. He was sure and certain that the prince despised him.


    "I still want to go to the store. What are you doing?"


    Jin Weiwei asked suspiciously, a gust of wind blew past him, and with a "pa da" sound, it was the sound of the door closing.


    "Continue."


    With that, Jin Weiwei''s entire person was wrapped around the door, he was unable to move at all.


    Jin Weiwei''s pupils contracted, he swallowed his saliva and looked at the nose that was close by, and was about to cry.


    "Don''t, me, I''m not ready."


    With these words, the corner of Little Rich Son''s mouth hooked up as he looked at Jin Weiwei with interest.


    "We don''t have to properly pay respects to the hall, so we can''t act recklessly ¡­" "Ugh ¡­"


    Those lips moved up and down, Little Rich Son''s breathing became heavy, and he covered them up.


    Jin Weiwei''s entire body froze. When did Little Rich Son become such a person?

 C154

    In the end, Little Rich Son did not touch her, but Jin Weiwei''s torment was not light, his entire body was swollen and his lips were swollen.


    In the end, Jin Weiwei was still a little disappointed. She didn''t know why, but she felt both anticipation and shame.


    The next morning, Jin Weiwei was called over by the county magistrate. Little Rich Son accompanied her like usual, but only stayed by the side of the carriage and did not enter.


    "Don''t follow me the next time I come to a place like this."


    When Jin Weiwei got off the carriage, he said this very seriously.


    Little Rich Son was dazed for a split-second, and said seriously, "I''m not at ease."


    "Then I''ll let the ingot follow next time. His martial arts are high."


    When it came to ingesting treasures, Jin Weiwei realized that she hadn''t been to the manor for a few days. She didn''t pay much attention to how the sausages in the butcher''s shop were doing either.


    Seeing Jin Weiwei in a daze, Little Rich Son''s face turned green, even his voice became cold.


    "Don''t look for him."


    "Why?"


    "No."


    Seeing that Little Rich Son was angry, Jin Weiwei did not ask anymore. He was truly a proud and pampered person.


    Jin Weiwei, who was in a good mood, walked a lot quicker when she entered the yamen.


    "Might..." "Martial ¡­"


    An ear-splitting sound rang in the main hall of the yamen, and with a slap of the wood, the few people who kidnapped Jin Dabao were brought up.


    "Who are you and what have you done?"


    The usual question and answer session made Jin Weiwei nervous. After all, this matter was related to the family, and even if Cheng Yuan had done a good deed, she did not know if it would implicate him, as she had cooperated with Cheng Yu in many of her businesses.


    "Little Lee, Big Nevus. Little Zhang San ¡­"


    After registering for awhile, Wang Hai became a little agitated listening to him. He suddenly asked: "Who ordered you to kidnap Jin Dabao?"


    Li Da Zhi, whose face was covered by the black mole, looked around at the people and asked: "county magistrate, did we say we would avoid a lot of punishment?"


    "That depends on whether or not you tell me who the person behind it is."


    Wang Hai frowned, the people who came up didn''t call him innocent, they just waited for his death without saying anything, yet these people still wanted to be excused!


    Jin Weiwei frowned, why does she feel that this is so weird?


    "Lord, I have already said it. I beg of you, please let me off this easily, I ¡­" I was ordered by the young master of the Cheng Clan, Cheng Yu, to kidnap Jin Weiwei''s father. "


    When he said those words, the entire hall went into an uproar, no one believed him, but it was truly because Cheng Yu''s reputation in Lishui County was too good, and he had grown up extremely good, to the point where he was the target of all the wealthy merchants.


    Jin Weiwei was shocked, it could not be Cheng Yu!


    A terrible thought formed in her mind. This matter had been a conspiracy from the very beginning!


    No wonder these kidnappers were so easy to talk to and weak. When they thought about Cheng Yuan, everything made sense.


    When that happened with Cheng Yuan, Little Rich Son didn''t participate obviously, but Cheng Yuan couldn''t hate Little Rich Son at all. In terms of hatred, he probably didn''t have Little Rich Son, but if he kidnapped Jin Dabao for such a thing, it would be too much of a loss.


    Then, it was very possible that Cheng Yuan hated Cheng Yu. Cheng Yuan had dealt with Cheng Yuan''s matter, but in the end, Cheng Yuan had still lost a leg, so Cheng Yuan did not dare to hate Assistant County Magistrate Xu''s son.


    Moreover, both of them were descendants from the main family, so both of them had the qualifications to inherit their family property. Then, Cheng Yuan''s deduction that they wanted to harm Cheng Yu was not wrong.


    Therefore, from the very beginning, they had fallen into Cheng Yuan''s trap. Cheng Yuan''s goal was not her, nor Little Rich Son, but Cheng Yu!


    "Do you know what crime it is to slander others?"


    Wang Hai''s face turned ugly by two points, obviously not believing Li Da Ne''s words either.


    Cheng Yu''s current usage of him was extremely valuable, so when something happened to Cheng Yu, it was very easy for him to associate with someone wanting to touch him.


    There were very few people in Lishui County County who wanted to touch him, and the newly arrived Xu Ziqi was one of them.


    In just a split-second, the crowd in the hall had turned their thoughts who knew how many times.


    Master, you have to be clear. What I said was the truth, and this is what Young Master Yu ordered us to do.


    "You said that Cheng Yu instructed you, then what was his reason?"


    A shocking sound made everyone''s heart beat faster. It was obvious that county magistrate was angry.


    "Milord, because ¡­ Because the reason why Young Master Yu likes young madam s and kidnapped Jin Dabao is to force young madam to submit to him. "


    Everyone was shocked again. There were some who knew Jin Weiwei and felt that it was not possible. Jin Weiwei was not beautiful, but compared to those gentle and dignified young ladies, it was like comparing a village girl to a fairy.


    Although Jin Weiwei didn''t want to admit that he was inferior to her, she found it hard to believe his beauty.


    "If Master does not believe me, you can call Young Master Cheng Cheng Yu."


    That big mole Li Jun seemed to not be afraid of causing trouble, and his serious look made others believe that he was real.


    If Jin Weiwei wasn''t familiar with Cheng Yu, he would probably be suspicious of him.


    "Go and find Cheng Yu."


    Jin Weiwei, who was standing by the side of the hall, could not help but worry, the other party had such a plan in mind, how would she remind Cheng Yu?


    When he raised his head, he saw that Little Rich Son was mixed in the crowd, causing a look of pleasant surprise on his face as he winked at him.


    Little Rich Son frowned, as if he did not understand what Jin Weiwei meant, when Jin Weiwei looked at the yamen runner, he immediately understood.


    He nodded towards Jin Weiwei and turned to leave.


    Jin Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, his family''s hubby was the best.


    "..."


    Cheng Yu was just walking out of his restaurant, and had come to check his account book again today. He couldn''t help but have a headache, because when Cheng Yuan came to take over, he did not know how much money he earned from this disaster.


    He had to deal with all these mess slowly. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a familiar person the moment he stepped out of the door.


    "..." Little Rich Son? What business do you have with me? "


    The two of them had always disliked each other, which was why Cheng Yu''s attitude towards Little Rich Son was not very good.


    Little Rich Son looked at him coldly and said: "Someone framed you. yamen runner is here to seize the person."


    This could be considered as the two of them speaking formally. Previously, when Little Rich Son saw that Cheng Yu was able to not speak at all, it was all because Little Rich Son did not like him.


    "What?"


    Little Rich Son''s words were too concise, so Cheng Yu didn''t understand it. It was just that at this time, yamen runner had already arrived in front of them. Cheng Yu turned his head, and Little Rich Son had already disappeared without a trace long time ago.


    "Young Master Cheng, someone has accused you of kidnapping Jin Dabao, so please come with us."


    Jin Dabao was tied up?


    How come he didn''t know about this?


    However, the yamen runner were already right in front of him, he had no choice but to go.


    After waiting for two to three quarters of an hour, Jin Weiwei''s legs had already gone numb from standing, so there was finally movement outside the yamen.


    Turning his head, he saw Cheng Yu walking over with the escort of a few yamen runner s.

 C155

    Cheng Yu entered and saw that Jin Weiwei was standing in front of the town hall. Seeing the worry in her eyes, she smiled faintly, indicating that she was fine.


    Jin Weiwei was so anxious that he almost died. How could he laugh at this time?


    Could it be that Cheng Yu had a solution that made him smile at her?


    "Greetings, milord."


    Jin Weiwei''s thoughts flew a little, and by the side, Cheng Yu had already greeted Wang Hai.


    Jin Weiwei came back to reality and prepared to see how Cheng Yu would resolve this issue.


    "Cheng Yu, these people are accusing you of abducting Jin Dabao. Is this true?"


    Wang Hai frowned, he was considering how he should protect Cheng Yu, but he still needed Cheng Yu to stabilize the situation with his Lishui County.


    Perhaps when he thought of this, Cheng Yu was not anxious, as he still had a use of him. Someone had framed him, Wang Hai would not let them go.


    Cheng Yu turned to look at the few of them, and shook his head: "Sir, this humble one does not recognize them."


    "Young Master Cheng! You obviously liked Golden young madam, didn''t you ask us to kidnap Jin Dabao so that he could follow you? "


    Cheng Yu''s face became even uglier, if not for the entire stadium, he really wanted to run over and explain to Jin Weiwei.


    He did have a good impression of her, but he, Cheng Yu, was not like her.


    "Nonsense! Even if I like the Madame Jin, I would not use this method to threaten the person I like! "


    Even when Cheng Yu was angry, he would act like an elegant young master, that''s why, the people at the yamen''s entrance who were watching the show nodded their heads, thinking that this was Cheng Yu, that Jin Weiwei was just a village girl, how could Young Master Cheng possibly like her.


    Everyone had a face of disbelief, only one person''s face was as green as black clouds pressing down. Others might not understand Cheng Yu''s words, but he did know, and the other meaning behind his words was that he liked Jin Weiwei, but he would not force Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei didn''t think too much about it. Cheng Yu had always been this gentle and elegant, it was just that the matter this time made her feel uncertain.


    "Alright, you said that it wasn''t you doing it, and you also didn''t order it. That Li Da Niu, do you have any evidence to prove that it was Cheng Yu?"


    Hearing that, Li Da Niu searched his body. Finally, he took out a bag of silver and a letter, and said: These are the rewards given to me by Young Master Cheng, and this letter contained the things that Young Master Yu had instructed me to do.


    Hearing that, Wang Hai indicated for Master to take out the envelope, and frowned, when he asked Li Da Niu earlier, he did not bring out the "evidence", but Cheng Yu did.


    Opening it, the content inside was unbearable to look at, it did not match with Cheng Yu''s usual look. Wang Hai summoned Wang Mu, who was beside him, and Jin Weiwei, who was at the entrance of the yamen.


    "Why don''t you two come up and see if this is Cheng Yu''s handwriting?"


    He did this because he did not want to be unfair in front of everyone. He also thought that if it was really Cheng Yu''s handwriting, Wang Mu would definitely deny it, and Jin Weiwei would be different. The one tied up was her father.


    Master, how about we go and find the letter that Cheng Yu had written before, and compare it with this one, then everything will be known.


    Wang Hai''s actions looked extremely fair on the surface, but who didn''t know that the relationship between Jin Weiwei and himself was intertwined? Adding Cheng Yu''s usual personality, Jin Weiwei would more or less cover for him.


    Jin Weiwei frowned, she thought that even if it was Cheng Yu''s handwriting, she would not admit, that there were a lot of capable people in this world, and that she had seen a lot of similar handwriting in her previous life, so she believed that it might not be true.


    Wang Hai squinted his eyes, at that moment, he was certain that Xu Ziqi was involved, and he became alert.


    "Assistant County Magistrate Xu, this official is trying to hear a case. If you have anything to say, wait for me to leave the hall first."


    Master, I have already settled the matter just now for you, I have already taken Cheng Yu''s handwriting, please have a look.


    Hearing that, Wang Hai was silent for a moment, he stared at Xu Ziqi for a long while, then nodded his head.


    Jin Weiwei panicked. She knew that Cheng Yuan had a backup plan, but she didn''t know that the Xu Ziqi in this county would actually help Cheng Yuan!


    How did Cheng Yuan and Xu Ziqi, people who couldn''t get along with each other!


    He could not help but look towards Little Rich Son who was in the middle of the crowd, only to realize that Little Rich Son had disappeared.


    Master took the letter and presented it in front of Wang Hai. Now, both Wang Mu and Jin Weiwei did not need to go up.


    The two of them stood in place, both of their hearts heavy, as they looked at Wang Hai nervously.


    "Cheng Yu! "How dare you! How dare you act so brazenly? The words on these two letters are exactly the same!"


    Xu Ziqi suddenly went forward to look at the letter in Wang Hai''s hand, and pointed at Cheng Yu with a face full of anger.


    Just now, Xu Ziqi''s movements were getting more distant, but if he were to discuss such a thing with everyone, it would only make them feel that he was not magnanimous enough, that he had avoided getting too serious, and was even trying to protect Cheng Yu.


    But if he really did care, Xu Ziqi believed that he would just say that he was too anxious about the case and lose his composure for a moment. At that time, he would also lose his reputation as someone who did not sympathise with an official.


    "This case is suspicious, Cheng Yu will take you in temporarily! "Retreat!"


    Without waiting for Xu Ziqi to finish his sentence, Wang Hai immediately stood up, patted his wooden log, and left the court with his sleeve.


    Seeing that Cheng Yu was about to be captured, Jin Weiwei suddenly stopped yamen runner and looked at Cheng Yu.


    "Madame Jin, you believe in me?"


    Without waiting for Jin Weiwei to speak, Cheng Yu opened her mouth first. Jin Weiwei was startled, this was the first time Cheng Yu had called her Madame Jin, and it made her a little uncomfortable.


    "After becoming Young Master Yu, you are not such a person. You ¡­ Is there anything I can say to your family? "


    Cheng Yu opened his mouth, but he was interrupted by Xu Ziqi, "Hurry and take the criminals away!"


    yamen runner''s body trembled, and quickly pulled Cheng Yu away.


    Jin Weiwei''s gaze turned towards Xu Ziqi, laughed coldly for a bit, and then left.


    As he turned his head to look at Jin Weiwei''s departing back, Xu Ziqi sneered. Fighting with him, these people are still a little too inexperienced!


    After exiting the yamen, Jin Weiwei saw Little Rich Son guarding in front of the carriage, he immediately went over and asked concernedly: "Did something happen?"


    Little Rich Son raised his head to look at the main entrance of the county magistrate court, shook his head, and pulled Jin Weiwei inside the horse carriage.


    Seeing that, Jin Weiwei knew that something bad had happened to Little Rich Son, maybe someone here was related to his amnesia.


    Thinking about it, Jin Weiwei was worried that Little Rich Son''s enemy, so he got on the carriage to quickly drive the carriage home.

 C156

    "What''s wrong? You met someone you know? "


    In front of Little Rich Son, Jin Weiwei had already gotten used to not asking about Little Rich Son''s past. It wasn''t that she didn''t want to ask, it was just that she didn''t want to ruin the relationship between the two of them.


    Little Rich Son frowned, he did not say anything, but nodded his head, when he saw Xu Ziqi, he suddenly felt a sense of danger, and retreated.


    Seeing that, Jin Weiwei kept quiet, she turned her head and looked at the crowd outside the window, her heart feeling that she was moving further and further away from Little Rich Son, she did not know about many of his matters, and she was also not clear about the few bodyguards by Little Rich Son''s side.


    He was constantly reminding her that Little Rich Son''s background was not simple, and that it was even possible for him to leave her at any time.


    From then on, every time Jin Weiwei saw him, Jin Weiwei held onto the thought of meeting him for the last time.


    Suppressing the pain in his heart, Jin Weiwei decided to not think about it anymore. She and Little Rich Son had interacted less and less with each other every day, so rather than hurting their feelings, it would be better to just cherish them.


    After thinking about it, her hands were covered with a layer of warmth. She raised her head and saw Little Rich Son, and immediately smiled: "What''s wrong?"


    "Don''t get too close to that county governor."


    The only danger he could sense was naturally one that he did not want Jin Weiwei to come into contact with.


    However, Jin Weiwei was actually helpless. She wrinkled her little face and said, "If I want to save Cheng Yu, I will definitely come into contact with that Assistant County Magistrate Xu. What do you want me to do?"


    Hearing Little Rich Son''s words, she knew who the Assistant County Magistrate Xu was, and she knew him.


    Jin Weiwei suddenly raised his head. "You ¡­ "But what do you remember?"


    "..." I occasionally remember fragments. "


    Little Rich Son frowned slightly, but her heart was in a mess. Why did she kidnap Little Rich Son back then?


    Alright, now the one feeling sad was still herself. If he wanted to leave, she couldn''t stop him.


    "..."


    Returning to the butcher''s shop, Jin Weiwei first went to check on how the sausages were doing. Although she had experienced too many things in the past two days, she couldn''t lose her career.


    Just as Jin Weiwei was thinking about how to save Cheng Yu, unexpectedly, Yuan Bao suddenly found her, with a strange expression on his face.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Jin Weiwei frowned, why was Yuanbao like that, could there be a problem with the Villa?


    "..." The rice planted in the manor has grown and the potatoes are about to ripen. "


    "What?!"


    Jin Weiwei was stunned for two seconds, then she turned happy, as the news was good news to her.


    "Tell the people in the manor to hurry up and check it out when they get familiar with it."


    After Jin Weiwei finished speaking, she frowned, she had ignored a problem just now, which was that normal crops would not ripen so fast, no wonder the way she looked at the ingots just now was so strange.


    "I saw that there was a spring in the manor. Did you all use that spring to irrigate your crops?"


    Yuan Bao nodded.


    Jin Weiwei smiled, and in the end, she could still find some excuses. If she wanted to survive in this world, she couldn''t live in a life that was too strange.


    Before I bought this manor, I heard from others that this manor''s spring water had miraculous uses. I didn''t believe it at first, but I didn''t expect it to be true.


    Yuan Bao nodded again, the doubt in his eyes lessened by two points. He still remembered the last time he saw this woman get a few big baskets of rice from who knows where, and later when he went back, he heard that Jin Weiwei made everyone cover their eyes as he collected the crops. He was not as gullible as those people in the manor, so he was naturally suspicious.


    What the ingots couldn''t see was that Jin Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief after he turned around.


    Jin Weiwei massaged his chest as a headache came upon him. To keep a secret by himself was actually very tiring.


    After an unknown amount of time had passed, a weight and warmth had been added to his shoulders. When Jin Weiwei turned around and saw that it was Little Rich Son, he couldn''t help but keep his spirits up.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Let''s go home."


    Perhaps, even Jin Weiwei himself had not discovered this, as a deep sense of exhaustion filled her forehead. Little Rich Son tightly knitted his brows, the worry in his eyes not concealing it at all.


    "Alright."


    Coincidentally, she was also tired.


    "..."


    In this room, Jin Xiaodia stayed at Jin Xiaoyan''s house for a long time. Because Jin Xiaodia had gone to look for Cheng Yu before, Zheng Xue wrote a letter to Jin Xiaoyan, telling her to stay far away from him.


    Therefore, Jin Xiaoyan''s attitude towards Jin Xiaodia was unclear, but since it was not easy to chase Jin Xiaodia away, she thought of a way.


    "Xiaodia, you can''t always stay here, you have a brother-in-law at home, it''s more or less inconvenient. If this were to spread, it would ruin your reputation, and brother-in-law will think of a way for you."


    Jin Xiaoyan was courteous, but he still had a guilty look on his face, but he couldn''t compare to his own son. His son was a scholar, so he would definitely see more than her, as she needed to think for her son''s future.


    Hearing Jin Xiaoyan''s words, Jin Xiaodia understood what he meant, but she left Jin Xiaoyan''s home, where could she go?


    Without waiting for Jin Xiaodia to speak, Jin Xiaoyan took out a bag of silver and handed it over to him, his face full of guilt: "Look, I got your brother-in-law to find you a job, you can go there and do it yourself, and you can even guarantee that you can keep it. How nice, after a while, I''ll get your brother-in-law to find you a good home."


    Hearing that, Jin Xiaodia laughed coldly. Jin Xiaoyan probably did not want her to stay here any longer, so by saying it in such a righteous manner, did he really think that she, Jin Xiaodia, was a fool?


    Receiving the silver, Jin Xiaodia''s face was filled with gratitude: "Thank you elder sister."


    She also knew that she couldn''t stay here anymore. She had to think of a way to deal with Jin Weiwei, but there weren''t any people that she knew ¡­ Wait, Jiang Qingshou''s cousin, Jiang Qingfu!


    Originally, he was the one who liked her first, but his parents agreed to help him first, and the two of them just happened to miss each other out.


    Thinking till here, Jin Xiaodia started to grumble about her parents. She heard that Jiang Qingfu could be considered a rich man with great Lishui County, if she had married Jiang Qingfu back then, why would she have led such a life!


    "Then I''ll get someone from there to bring you over tomorrow?"


    Hearing that Jin Xiaodia agreed to leave, Jin Xiaoyan''s smile deepened, two more wrinkles appearing at the corner of his eyes.


    "No need, elder sister, I already have somewhere to go. Thank you for taking care of me these days."


    Jin Xiaodia replied with a smile that was not really a smile. When she seduced Jiang Qingfu, did she even need to keep these people in her heart?


    "..."


    The next day, with Wang Hai''s help, Jin Weiwei went down to the prison to look for Cheng Yu.


    "Young Master Cheng, are you alright?"


    Jin Weiwei lightly knocked on the cell door and asked.


    Hearing this, the gentle figure paused for a moment before turning around.


    "Jin Weiwei?"


    Seeming to not believe it, Cheng Yu called out softly.


    "It''s me. They didn''t hit you, right?"


    Jin Weiwei sized up Cheng Yu, and seeing that his body was still unharmed, he heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Young Master Cheng, do you have any way to save yourself? I''ll help you."

 C157

    Hearing that, Cheng Yu laughed bitterly, after an entire night, his family would not send people to save him, if not he would not have received so much information.


    Seeing Cheng Yu''s disappointed look, Jin Weiwei clenched his teeth and hesitated for a moment. Then he said: "Young Master Cheng, let me tell you, this was done by Cheng Yuan and Ma Chengfu.


    Jin Weiwei still wanted to say something, but he saw Cheng Yu''s face turn green, thinking that he said the wrong thing, and closed his mouth.


    "Madame Jin, there''s no use in searching for my family regarding this matter. Take this seal to the Tier 1 Great Hall of Yuncheng to find a person called Gongsun Hong, and tell me if there''s any danger in the Lishui County."


    Cheng Yu handed over a seal to Jin Weiwei, which looked extremely delicate. When Jin Weiwei raised his head, he realized that Cheng Yu''s eyes were filled with hope and coldness, and could not help but feel his heart ache.


    Cheng Yu''s family had an Old Master, and it was said that he doted on Cheng Yuan a lot. She knew about this, but as the grandson of the Old Master, the Old Master had to give up on Cheng Yu.


    "I will definitely accomplish this task. Rest assured, the county magistrate will definitely protect you."


    Previously, when the price of the rice had dropped, she thought that Wang Hai''s notice wouldn''t be able to sustain it for long.


    Although she didn''t know what was going on in the process, but she did know that Cheng Yu was the leader of the merchant guild.


    Then Wang Hai would need Cheng Yu now, so he could not allow Cheng Yu to be framed.


    "I know, but you have to speed up, Cheng Yu, thank you here."


    Jin Weiwei nodded: "Then Young Master Cheng, I''ll be leaving first."


    Cheng Yu nodded his head and laughed, as though he had poured a clear spring into this dark cell.


    "Aiya!"


    Jin Weiwei turned his head and bumped into someone.


    "I''m sorry."


    That person''s voice was extremely cold. It was so cold that it seemed to have no emotions.


    Jin Weiwei was startled. Looking down, he realized he was holding onto a food box, and was even wearing the yamen runner''s clothes. It should be the yamen runner of this county.


    Jin Weiwei got up. Originally, he wanted to care about that person, but that person went around her and directly went to Cheng Yu''s cell.


    Why was this person so strange?


    Jin Weiwei thought strangely, and when he turned his body he was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly shouted: "Men! "Murder!"


    What did she just see!?


    Dagger! There was a dagger at the bottom of the box that yamen runner was carrying. Furthermore, it was in the morning, so it was long past the time for food.


    Just as Cheng Yu was about to receive the food, he heard Jin Weiwei''s shout. The alarm in his heart rang, and when the yamen runner saw that the matter was exposed, he did not wait for Cheng Yu''s reaction, and took out his dagger to stab Cheng Yu''s abdomen.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Even though Cheng Yu retreated very quickly, he was still pierced by the yamen runner, a cut was made on his abdomen, and blood kept flowing out.


    "Someone come quickly!" Fast! "Murder!"


    Jin Weiwei shouted once again, as the yamen runner rushed towards him.


    The outer room was in an uproar, Jin Weiwei kept running out with a look of panic on his face.


    Just as she felt a chill coming from her back, she bumped into a man holding her in his arms. Little Rich Son took two steps back, then casually slashed down on the cell wall and threw it towards him.


    Jin Weiwei only heard a pfft sound, and then, it was as if something heavy had landed on the ground. She wanted to turn her head to take a look, but realized that she was bound tightly by Little Rich Son''s hands, and she couldn''t even turn her head.


    "Who is it!"


    Jin Weiwei was startled, she had thought that Little Rich Son had killed that person.


    Quickly, Young Master Cheng was assassinated! Quickly go in and see him! "


    When he suddenly remembered that Cheng Yu was still injured in the cell, Jin Weiwei quickly broke free from Little Rich Son''s restraints and shouted out to everyone.


    Little Rich Son''s face was ice-cold, as she tightly grabbed onto Jin Weiwei''s wrist. Her lips were so white that the color of blood could almost be seen, and when Jin Weiwei turned his head to look, he was nearly scared to death by Little Rich Son.


    "Little Rich Son..."


    The expression on his face was dark and terrible, as if he was terrified of death.


    "To Kaixian."


    Little Rich Son''s eyes loosened as the hostility in his eyes dissipated in half. However, the corner of his eyes still remained cold as soon as he saw the mess.


    Without thinking, Jin Weiwei immediately ran over to the inner court.


    "Sir Zhi County!" The Young Master Cheng was assassinated! "


    As Jin Weiwei knocked on the door, he shouted. He seemed to have heard some movement from inside, as fragmented footsteps sounds could be heard.


    The one who opened the door was attendant, who was serving the Zhixian family, and behind him stood Wang Hai.


    "What did you say!"


    "Cheng Yu was assassinated, and he was disguised as a yamen runner!"


    Jin Weiwei didn''t have time to catch his breath, as he held on to the door to explain what had happened.


    Hearing this, Wang Hai''s expression changed greatly, and he quickly disappeared from Jin Weiwei''s sight with the attendant.


    He thought that since Xu Ziqi was going against him, he wouldn''t brazenly come here. Who knew that he would be so daring?


    Jin Weiwei followed him. Just as he was about to get close to the prison, he was stopped by Little Rich Son.


    "What are you doing?"


    Jin Weiwei was curious, she was anxious, for Cheng Yu was not only a cooperating partner, but also a good friend. Now that her good friend was injured, how could she not take a look?


    Little Rich Son''s aura was cold, his eyes were gloomy and unreadable: "You are not allowed to go, go home."


    "You ¡­ "Alright!"


    Jin Weiwei felt a surge of anger, and was about to reprimand Little Rich Son, but she remembered that Little Rich Son would not easily reject her for what she wanted to do.


    Furthermore, the fate of the person who tried to assassinate Cheng Yu was unknown. Little Rich Son was already a very suspicious person, if she were to get involved with this matter, both she and Little Rich Son would be in great danger.


    Little Rich Son''s gaze became a bit slower and he dragged her towards the entrance of the county magistrate court.


    "..."


    At the Cheng Residence.


    The Cheng family''s main hall was already filled with tension. Cheng Feng was a gentleman with a learned personality. At this moment, he looked like he wanted nothing more than to kill everyone in the main hall.


    The Cheng family''s old patriarch sat silently at the head, a hint of hesitation and consideration on his face.


    "Father, I don''t care about the matters that I usually do, but now that Ah Yu is here, as long as you say it out, I will definitely let her go. What are you still hesitating about?"


    Hearing that, the Old Master frowned even more. It was because he knew that Cheng Yuan was the one who did this that caused him to hesitate, and if he really allowed Zhi County to release Cheng Yu, then what about Cheng Yuan?


    But no matter how he looked at it, one was his favorite grandson, and the other was the most promising grandson.


    "This is bad!" Not good! Young Master Yu was assassinated in his prison. "


    Just then, the attendant who was guarding the door rushed in to report the news. Cheng Feng felt dizzy and almost fell down.


    "Is the Young Master Yu alright?"


    Cheng Yu was also a child that he had watched growing up, it was just that at that moment, the Old Master''s heart was filled with complex emotions, just now when he heard that something had happened to Cheng Yu, he was actually rejoicing?


    "Young Master Yu had been slashed by someone, and is now unconscious."


    Thinking back to what the yamen runner had told him, he couldn''t help but shiver. He was someone from the Young Master Yu, so if something were to happen to the Young Master Yu, would the Young Master Yuan let them off?

 C158

    "Then what are you waiting for!?" Send someone to bring the young master back! "


    Cheng Feng regained his composure, and his entire body turned cold. Even the Old Master, who was standing behind him, was wary of him. How could he forget that this son of his was once part of his family, and had quite a reputation and status.


    That''s right, to be able to teach such an outstanding Cheng Yu, how could he be a simple person?


    Reporting to Master Feng, the yamen runner at the yamen said that the Young Master Yu had already been protected by someone from the county magistrate. They said that the Young Master Yu was the key to the kidnapping case and could not be easily removed.


    What!


    The Old Master''s face turned green. If that was the case, then Cheng Yu was fine.


    On the other hand, Cheng Feng had calmed down the moment he had gotten his son''s safety. The settling of time had allowed him to be a bit more calm and collected, unconsciously causing others to trust him.


    "If that''s the case, then Father does not need to care about this matter anymore. I believe that county magistrate already has a plan in mind, I was the one who lost control earlier, I hope Father does not blame me."


    Suddenly, Cheng Feng turned around and bowed to the Old Master. His face was so calm that one could not see his emotions, but it was terrifying for no reason.


    The Old Master also calmed down and nodded his head, his face was solemn and his fear grew even stronger, speaking of Cheng Yu that he valued and did not dare to touch, then Cheng Feng would be the person that he dared not touch.


    When Cheng Feng returned to his courtyard, his face immediately fell. The biting cold air around him was undisguised as the attendant beside him trembled. How long had it been since he last saw Cheng Feng like this?


    "Master ¡­"


    "Send someone to take a look at Gongzi and see if he has anything to say to me."


    He once again opened his eyes, filled with disappointment and coldness. All these years, for the sake of his guilt from back then, he had given up the status he had struggled for. Now, was he going to lose a son!


    "Yes."


    attendant responded and quietly left the room.


    "..."


    Jin Xiaodia found Jiang Qingfu''s restaurant, he wanted to see Jiang Qingfu, but he was chased out by the restaurant''s waiter.


    Coincidentally, there was an embroidery room opposite of the restaurant, causing Jin Xiaodia''s eyes to light up. Before she left the pavilion, embroidery was excellent, and she had even saved a lot of money, but ever since she married Jiang Qingshou, she had never done embroidery again.


    "Hello, madam, may I ask what you need?"


    Jin Xiaodia''s expression was a little unnatural. How long had it been since she last heard someone call her this?


    "I... What I want to ask is, do you still want my embroidery lady? "


    Gritting her teeth, Jin Xiaodia spoke and suddenly felt a sense of humiliation crawling up her heart, causing Jin Xiaodia to blame everything on Jin Weiwei. If not for Jin Weiwei, she would have been able to live the life she had today!


    "Xiu Niang? "Yes, but only if the shopkeeper personally sees your embroidery work will he be able to stay behind."


    Hearing that she was here to apply, the smile on the person who received Jin Xiaodia lightened by two points. Seeing that he was dressed well, she did not expect that he was only here to apply, and was truly wasting her energy!


    Jin Xiaodia gritted his teeth and nodded: "Then, I''ll have to trouble Miss to bring me to find the owner."


    How could she not see the change in this person? It was just that in order to take care of Jin Weiwei, she had to go all out.


    "..."


    Jin Weiwei asked around for information about Cheng Yu. After finding out that he was fine, she was relieved and prepared to go with Little Rich Son to Yuncheng to find that person called Gongsun Hong.


    Early in the morning, she went to the butcher''s to see how the sausages were doing.


    "Yuanbao, after these sausages are done cooking, send them to the Wonder House together with Xiaoqing. Looking at the time, it won''t be long yet, you should hurry up and prepare these sausages."


    Jin Weiwei warned her in detail as he nodded his head using his ingot. Seeing her anxious look, he asked: "Where are you going?"


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei was startled. She didn''t tell the butcher that she was going to go out, how did the ingot know that she was going to go out?


    "How did you know I was going out?"


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes suddenly turned cold, it was best if the Jin Meat Shop did not leak out from the inside.


    "What are you trying to do, if not traveling?"


    The ingot was very strange, and Jin Weiwei''s reaction also proved that she was really going to go out.


    "..." "Uh, I''m going out. After I go out, I''ll leave the matters at the butcher''s shop to you. I''ll be back around half a month later."


    "I''ll go with you."


    The ingot dropped its work and stared straight at her.


    Jin Weiwei coughed lightly. Facing a gaze like Yuanbao''s, she was always a little unnatural, maybe Yuanbao''s gaze was just too passionate?


    "No need. After I leave, you just stay in the store. I''m afraid that someone will come and cause trouble."


    Jin Weiwei''s face was full of worry. She already knew that this matter was related to Cheng Yuan and Ma Chengfu, but she couldn''t bring out any evidence. Then as the person involved, she didn''t believe that Cheng Yuan and Ma Chengfu would let her go.


    Hearing this, Yuanbao was silent for a moment before nodding his head.


    Jin Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief, he turned and saw Little Rich Son, his handsome face had turned cold, the look in his eyes was as though he wanted to tear apart his treasure.


    This kind of emotion, would probably only be revealed in front of Jin Weiwei. If anyone else saw this, they would only think that Little Rich Son did not like treasures.


    "Let''s go."


    Jin Weiwei tugged on Little Rich Son''s sleeve, his tone gentle and gentle as he raised his ingot. Coincidentally, he saw Little Rich Son holding onto Jin Weiwei''s hand, and his eyes turned two parts darker.


    After leaving the butcher''s shop, Little Rich Son suddenly pulled Jin Weiwei and said: "When we return, send him to the manor."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei was startled, then burst out laughing. She said that Little Rich Son''s expression was strange, she was actually jealous.


    "Alright."


    The Origin Treasure was originally on the Manor, so no matter if Little Rich Son said it or not, she would still send it back.


    "..."


    Inside the Lishui County.


    Wang Hai, dressed in his official''s uniform, was sitting in the hall, sighing. At some point, Mrs. Wang had come to his side, holding a food box in her hands.


    "Master, you''ve been sitting in this hall for the whole morning. You haven''t even used your meal. Are you trying to make me die of anxiety?"


    Although Lady Wang Cheng was complaining, her eyes were filled with worry. She placed the dishes on the table and also sighed as she sat beside Wang Hai.


    "Madam, the things that happened before have happened again and again, how could your husband have the mood to eat!"


    "Master, didn''t the price of the rice noodles drop?" After all, these people couldn''t be unruly just because something happened to Cheng Yu, right? "


    She had heard a bit about Cheng Yu, but she didn''t really want to hear about it. After all, she was a woman, it would be bad for her reputation if she paid too much attention to other men.


    "But now, nothing must happen to Cheng Yu, I will need him from now on, and now that he is injured, it is clear that someone is trying to deal with me!"


    Wang Hai was frustrated. Thinking of this, his head hurt.

 C159

    "Master, why don''t you find an excuse to release Cheng Yu so that he won''t be worried all day?"


    "If only it was that simple, but the person who was going against me was Assistant County Magistrate Xu, Xu Ziqi, if I let Cheng Yu go, and end this case in secret, it would be hard to guarantee that he would not send a book on me, at that time, his future husband would be done for."


    If it was in the past, he would just close his eyes and settle this matter, but behind Xu Ziqi was the Xu Family, if Xu Ziqi was able to lay a hand on this, and cause the capital''s Xu Family to report to the Emperor, then Wang Hai would have to end his official road.


    "Master, is there anyone behind Cheng Yu? Someone who can take the seat of the president of the Lishui County Merchant Guild, how could he be so easily tricked? "


    Lady Wang was a woman from a large, declining family. It was Wang Hai''s father who had begged three times to bring such a daughter-in-law to Wang Hai.


    Wang Cheng had helped Wang Hai a lot, even though he always talked about women being long and short, if anything really happened to him, Wang Hai would still talk to her.


    For example, now, after Wang Cheng had finished speaking, Wang Hai''s eyes lit up, and she said immediately: "Madam, with you, it''s really my, Wang Hai''s, lifetime''s worth of fortune!"


    With that, she lifted her robe and walked out of the room. Mrs. Cheng called out to her worriedly, "Master, you haven''t eaten yet!"


    "Madam, please keep it for me. I''m afraid I won''t be back until very late."


    Hearing that, Mrs. Cheng sighed. As her husband, she was good at everything, but sometimes her brain couldn''t come up with anything.


    "..."


    With Lady Wang Cheng''s reminder, Wang Hai quickly arrived at the place where he was supposed to take care of Cheng Yu. He asked the attendant that was waiting outside: "Has the people inside woken up?"


    The person inside shouted a few times, it was Cheng Yu who woke up.


    "..." Lord Wang? "


    Wang Hai pushed open the door and entered. Just a moment ago, he was acting so anxious as if he had never been there.


    Cheng Yu laughed bitterly and was about to get off the bed, but was pushed back down by Wang Hai.


    "Did the Young Master Cheng send any news to our family?"


    Logically speaking, Cheng Yu was the Cheng Family''s most promising grandson, Cheng Family Old Man should be very anxious, but until now, other than Wang Mu, nobody else came to the Cheng Family to greet him, oh, there was also Cheng Yu''s father who came to greet him, there was nothing else.


    From the looks of it, their family was giving up on Cheng Yu.


    Wang Hai really could not understand, if the Cheng family were to speak up, according to the power behind the family, it would not be a problem to save even a single Cheng Yu.


    And Cheng Yu himself, there must be many big trees behind him, but why did Cheng Yu never mention it, or ¡­ Have a decision?


    "I''m afraid that the Cheng family will not care about this matter. I wonder why Lord Wang is looking for me?"


    Cheng Yu laughed bitterly and shook his head, Wang Hai understood most of it, he had even sent people to the Cheng Family to inform them, and from the looks of it, this matter was related to the Cheng Family.


    "..." He seemed to remember that Jin Weiwei had said that she had offended Cheng Yuan before, and this Cheng Yuan was the Cheng Clan Old Master''s beloved grandson, so for his beloved grandson, would he sacrifice another grandson?


    Thinking about it this way, it was truly too terrifying. The back of his hand was covered in flesh, how could this old man be so heartless?


    Wang Hai started to sympathize with Cheng Yu.


    "Cheng, a young master from Young Master Yu. This county would never believe that you would do such a thing. I wonder what proof Young Master Cheng has of his ability. This county can also help the Young Master Cheng wash away his grievances."


    These words were said secretly, but how could someone as intelligent as Cheng Yu not see through it?


    As expected, Cheng Yu smiled lightly: "I am currently heavily injured and I probably won''t be able to wake up for a long time. Madame Jin has already gone to the city, so Sir Wang still needs to look after Madame Jin''s family carefully, don''t let those people with ulterior motives go and hurt Madame Jin''s family."


    Hearing this, Wang Hai''s eyes narrowed. Cheng Yu was telling him that he had already gotten Jin Weiwei to think of a way for him.


    "That''s right, the people outside still don''t know whether you were assassinated by the Young Master Yu or in a coma."


    Wang Hai understood what Cheng Yu was trying to say, and could not help but admire Cheng Yu''s brain. As the person in the trap, even he could not see clearly, but had already set him up.


    "That''s right, Cheng Yu is unconscious, I hope Sir Wang can strengthen the defenses around him."


    Cheng Yu''s intention was for Wang Hai to spread the news and buy some time for Jin Weiwei to save the person, and also make the people outside suspect that Cheng Yu was being framed.


    In the afternoon, a piece of news was posted in front of the yamen''s official office. It said that someone had snuck into the yamen''s prison to assassinate Cheng Yu.


    The real killer was imprisoned in the water prison in the inner court.


    "I''ll give you a chance. If you tell me who the mastermind is, I''ll let you go."


    Inside the dark and damp water prison, Wang Hai, who was sitting in front of the killer, said those words coldly.


    The assassin''s body was covered in blood, and his original appearance could no longer be seen. Only a pair of eyes remained, barely able to contain the shadow.


    "Really, really?"


    "This county''s words are never spoken without planning. You just have to say who the mastermind is."


    Wang Hai straightened his body and looked at the killer seriously.


    "Alright, I said, yes, it''s the young master of our family, Cheng Yuan."


    The man spoke in an intermittent voice, one of his hands was hanging on the chain binding him, with a pale white color, it was the hand that was interrupted by Little Rich Son.


    Hearing this, Wang Hai frowned, as if he suspected that it was really Cheng Yuan who had obtained the information so easily. Then, did it affect Cheng Yu''s position in the Lishui County Chamber of Commerce?


    "Why did he want you to assassinate Cheng Yu?"


    "Because, because, because, the one who kidnapped Madame Jin''s father, Cheng Yuan, was ordered by Cheng Yuan to be framed, so that the Old Master could give all his family property to him."


    Wang Hai turned serious: "I want you to testify in court, otherwise, your life will not be preserved here in this county."


    The killer regained some spirit and raised his head, his eyes filled with the desire to survive.


    "Everything I say is true, I don''t want to die! It''s Cheng Yuan! "


    After finishing his sentence, the assassin was overwhelmed by the cold, damp water. He could feel the twisting and twisting pain coming from his shoulder, torturing him all the time.


    Wang Hai nodded, then waved his hand and signaled his men to release the killer, since he had agreed to let the killer go, he could not let him die.


    Seeing that he had brought the killer up, Wang Hai frowned even more. Behind him, Cheng Yuan was probably not the only one scheming.


    It was just that until now, the matters of the Qing Shui County had not been completely settled, and the large number of victims of the Lishui County had yet to be properly settled. He could not let anything happen to Cheng Yu, and he could not let the business of the Lishui County lose control.


    Therefore, he had to find a scapegoat for Cheng Yu. That was why when the killer said that it was Cheng Yuan, Wang Hai did not refute him even if he was suspicious.


    * *


    The way to Yuncheng City required one to pass through Yunhai County. It was the county city next to the sea, and although the flow of people was complicated, it was not as bustling as the other counties.


    By the time Jin Weiwei and Little Rich Son arrived, it was already dark, but the number of people that passed by did not decrease at all.

 C160

    Jin Weiwei could not help but sigh in his heart. As the saying goes, if people compare themselves to people, they would be angered to death.


    This Yunhai County was already comparable to the bustling of the prefectural city. Even though Jin Weiwei had never seen the city before, she still felt that it was like this.


    "We''ll rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow."


    Jin Weiwei turned his head to speak to Little Rich Son, the suppressed excitement in the depths of his eyes unable to escape from Little Rich Son''s eyes.


    "You like it here?"


    "..." "Un, I guess so. I am an ambitious person so naturally, I would like to live in such a bustling place."


    Jin Weiwei giggled. She was a businessman, saying that she did not like business and money, that was impossible. Otherwise, she would have gone crazy and come out to do business.


    "..." "The capital is even more prosperous."


    Hearing that, the corner of Little Rich Son''s mouth raised into an arc, and gentleness leaked out from his brows.


    Jin Weiwei turned his head, he was startled for a moment, and the smile on his face became a little stiff, as the capital... Little Rich Son probably remembered some fragmented memories.


    The people of Beijing...?


    Jin Weiwei looked towards the direction of the capital. If the capital was where Little Rich Son lived, she suddenly wanted to go and take a look.


    "If there''s a chance, I''ll definitely take my shop to the capital ¡­" to see what you look like where you live.


    "..."


    Lishui County.


    Jin Xiaodia worked at the embroidery workshop for a few days, but he still could not find any traces of Jiang Qingfu in the restaurant opposite him. At first, Jin Xiaodia was afraid that Jiang Qingfu would look different, but he did not recognize him.


    Who knew that she would be scolded by the steward just because she had embroidered several wrong areas.


    At this point, no matter how anxious she was, she had to take care of her own days first. Jin Xiaoyan did not give her much money.


    Today, she continued to embroider in the embroidery workshop. When she raised her head, she saw a luxuriously dressed man suddenly appear in front of the restaurant opposite her.


    The man''s body was somewhat bloated, his belly was extremely big, but his relatively upright face allowed Jin Xiaodia to see the handsome Jiang Qingfu back then.


    Jin Xiaodia''s heart was filled with excitement, she got up and was about to run out, but she stopped herself in her tracks the moment she extended her leg, how could she face Jiang Qingfu with her current state, and not attract a man''s attention?


    In that instant, a thought flashed through Jin Xiaodia''s mind, and it was even preparing for practice.


    In the alley between the embroidery workshop and the restaurants, Jin Xiaodia was wearing a set of plain and simple clothes that seemed to be able to seduce people.


    "As long as you see a master in silk clothing coming out of this restaurant, you will do as I ask. This silver will be yours."


    In front of Jin Xiaodia was a beggar dressed in shabby clothes, upon hearing Jin Xiaodia''s words, he immediately nodded, his lustful eyes stared straight at Jin Xiaodia, to think that there would be such a good thing in the world!


    Jin Xiaodia did not like the look in the beggar''s eyes, so he reprimanded in a daze: "If you do not do as I say, I will go to the yamen and sue you for molesting me."


    Only then did the beggar''s lustful gaze subside as he nodded his head repeatedly. After all, he had the money to take it.


    Jiang Qingfu came to check his debts. He was doing better than Jiang Qingshou because he followed him. Back then, he could not even get the woman he liked because he was not as rich as Jiang Qingshou.


    Recently, when he heard that Jiang Qingshou had been sent off, he was indescribably happy, but he did not send anyone to find out more about Jin Xiaodia. Jin Xiaodia had already been abandoned by Jiang Qingshou, and to him, Jin Xiaodia was now just a useless woman. After so many years had passed, he was afraid that his concubine was still not as pretty as before.


    After checking the accounts and checking with the accounting office to see if there were any problems, Jiang Qingfu left the room.


    When they walked out of the door, Jiang Qingfu had a complacent look on his face. Now that Ma Chengfu was about to bring down Cheng Yu and become the president of the Lishui County, those people who worked with him would naturally rise in status as well.


    Now, with Ma Chengfu''s help, he had also entered the merchant guild, allowing his own things to enter the ocean as well.


    "Help! Help! "


    Suddenly, a shrill scream came from inside the alleyway. Jiang Qingfu didn''t want to meddle in other people''s business, but he felt that this voice was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.


    "Little beauty, scream, scream. Even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one will come to save you!"


    Following the voice, he heard a male voice that made people disgusted, Jiang Qingfu frowned, who was so blind to dare cause trouble in his territory?


    Jiang Qingfu brought his men into the alley, and saw that the woman''s clothes had already been stripped a lot, revealing her white collarbones, and her undergarment was faintly discernible, extremely seductive.


    The girl''s hair was in a mess. Jiang Qingfu had always cared for women, and thus had many concubines.


    "Stop!"


    Jiang Qingfu crossed his arms and indicated to attendant beside him. He could not speak in this kind of situation, so it would be detrimental to his image.


    The beggar looked frightened and continued to shout: You dare to molest a good woman in broad daylight, and you are still in our master''s territory. You don''t want to live anymore!


    Ma Chengfu was an arrogant and despotic person, but Jiang Qingfu, who followed him, was not like this. His business was smaller than Ma Chengfu''s, and the most important thing was the guest source.


    "Master, please save me!"


    During the time the two of them had been staring at each other, Jin Xiaodia had already tidied up his clothes, but they were half-concealed and half-concealed, still unable to block her flirtatious actions.


    "..." Jin Xiaodia? "


    Jiang Qingfu was startled for a moment, and asked suspiciously. The current Jin Xiaodia was not as young as he was back then, but he had the grace of a middle-aged woman, which made him look a little more young and tender.


    Jin Xiaodia raised her head with tears flowing, she was also stunned: "You, it''s you ¡­ ¡­"


    As he spoke, he cried even harder, and that beggar had somehow run away without a trace.


    "Get up, how did you become like this?"


    Jiang Qingfu stepped forward to help Jin Xiaodia up, and looked at Jin Xiaodia with suspicion. Why did he come here today, just in time for someone to molest Jin Xiaodia?


    How did he just happen to be saved?


    Since Qingshou committed a crime and was sent away by the county magistrate, I could only find a job on my own. Otherwise, I wouldn''t be able to live past it. Two days ago, I found a job at the embroidery workshop.


    Jin Xiaodia''s sorrowful and sorrowful look made people unable to resist looking at him with pity, especially when looking at his current pitiful appearance.


    So that''s how it is. Even though you have already been abandoned by Jiang Qingshou, you are still considered to be someone of our Jiang Family. I have arranged a place for you to stay.


    As Jiang Qingfu spoke, he blocked the way ahead, seemingly unintentionally pulling on Jin Xiaodia''s hands. He even caressed it a little, and the bright light in his eyes made Jin Xiaodia not dare to raise his head to look.


    Jin Xiaodia retracted her hands, realizing that she could not retract them, her heart filled with joy. Seems like she had succeeded, but she still could not do it on the surface.


    "Cousin ¡­" "No need. Now that I have a job to do, there''s no need for me to worry about food and clothes. I-I''ll go back first."


    He still could not withdraw his hand, as he looked at Jiang Qingfu with teary eyes: "Cousin, why are you making things difficult for me?"


    "You can continue working in the embroidery workshop, but you are part of my Jiang Family. Something has happened to Qingshou, as your brother, I cannot sit idly and do nothing."

 C161

    Hearing that, Jin Xiaodia still wanted to say something, but was forcefully dragged away.


    Jin Xiaodia, who was following behind Jiang Qingfu, did not struggle. Her goal was achieved, she only needed to make use of her old relationship with Jiang Qingfu to get rich and powerful, and also to deal with this bitch Jin Weiwei!


    "..."


    Jin Weiwei and Little Rich Son hurried there, and still took two days to get to Yuncheng.


    Once the two of them got off the carriage, they immediately started to inquire about the location of the First Pin Pavilion. Jin Weiwei did not have the mood to spectate the bustling streets, after all, he was still waiting for her to save him.


    "This is the Tier 1 Pavilion. It''s the biggest restaurant in the city."


    "Thank you very much."


    Jin Weiwei took out two taels of silver to reward the person who led the way. Looking up, he couldn''t help but exclaim in surprise: "As expected, a city is a city, and even the tavern''s restaurant is bigger than the Lishui County. It''s luxurious."


    But now was not the time to be concerned with this. Jin Weiwei brought Little Rich Son forward, and immediately a waiter came forward to welcome them.


    "Esteemed guests, are you two here to take care of him or to stay in the inn?"


    "Find someone."


    Before Jin Weiwei could speak, Little Rich Son dragged her behind him and said.


    Jin Weiwei stuck his head out and realized Little Rich Son''s expression was so cold that it could repel people a thousand miles away. The waiter who came to greet him was so shocked that he could not say a word.


    "..." Uh, I wonder who Young Master is looking for? "


    The waiter took two steps back and looked at Little Rich Son with fear in his eyes. He could not help but shiver.


    "Does your restaurant have a person called Gongsun Hong?"


    Jin Weiwei came out from behind Little Rich Son, but who knew that the waiter''s expression would change? He began to chase them away: "Fuck, do you know who Gongsun Hong is? You can see it too! "


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei''s mouth twitched, this waiter was too arrogant, she was just looking for someone.


    "We were entrusted by someone to come, and this seal is our letter. Please inform Gongsun Hong that an old friend has come."


    The waiter looked at the seal and looked at the two of them suspiciously. It was fine if they were looking for someone else, but this person was the son of the Prefect, and also their boss. He had to be cautious.


    "What''s going on?"


    The three of them were entangled with each other, when the shopkeeper of the first stage came over. Seeing that, Jin Weiwei immediately showed his seal to the shopkeeper.


    "I wonder if shopkeeper knows a person called Gongsun Hong."


    Seeing the seal, the shopkeeper''s expression immediately became strange. This seal belonged to the young master, and the only person the young master had given out seemed to be surnamed Cheng. However, he didn''t know where these two came from, so he asked with a smile, "May I know what business you two have with this young master?"


    "Save him, ask him if he knows Cheng Yu."


    Jin Weiwei could not be more familiar with such a polite expression. Presumably, this Gongsun Hong should be someone the shopkeeper knows.


    After''s reminder, he remembered that the young master who had given the seal to the young master was called Cheng Yu, and someone who could make the young master give the seal, must be someone important to the young master.


    "Please take your seats, I will send someone to invite Young Master Gongsun."


    Jin Weiwei nodded, then pulled Little Rich Son and followed the waiter.


    When he arrived at the second floor, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but be attracted by this elegant place. It was likely that the owner of this restaurant was a young noble who had the same personality as Cheng Yu, who was able to create such an elegant restaurant.


    "You like it here?"


    Little Rich Son lightly pinched her palms, and stared straight at the joy in her eyes for an instant.


    "It''s very elegant, but I like those that are more imposing. They make money just by looking at them."


    Don''t blame Jin Weiwei for being such a nouveau riche. In her previous life, she didn''t have much money, and her biggest wish was to become a rich woman as rich as a nation.


    Is it magnificent?


    Little Rich Son thought silently in his heart as two extra points of thought appeared in the depths of his eyes.


    After the time it took to make four cups of tea, Jin Weiwei finally heard the door to the private room being pushed open.


    Turning his head, the first thing he saw was a pair of legs. More accurately, it was a pair of legs sitting on a wheelchair.


    Could it be that the person that Cheng Yu was looking for had legs?


    The door of the private room was completely closed. The person who came was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, and his smooth black hair was neatly tied into a white jade crown. Threads of hair were hanging down from his temples, and a bit of cinnabar sand on his forehead added a trace of haughtiness to his elegance.


    As expected, they were all like Cheng Yu, gentle and refined gentlemen.


    "Greetings, young master."


    Every time he saw such a good-looking person, Jin Weiwei would uncontrollably restrain himself.


    Little Rich Son''s eyes darkened. She pulled Jin Weiwei back and asked: "May I ask if Sir is Gongsun Hong?"


    Jin Weiwei opened her mouth wide in shock. It was the first time she had heard Little Rich Son speak so long.


    Gongsun Hong sized up the two of them, and a faint smile appeared on his face. It seemed that the man in front of him was extremely hostile towards him.


    I am, but I don''t know who the two of you are, Brother Cheng? What danger has he run into now? "


    "This is the seal that Young Master Cheng entrusted to me. Young Master Cheng said that as long as Sir sees this seal, no matter what the problem is, you will help him."


    When Jin Weiwei said that, he suddenly shivered, his gaze turned to Little Rich Son, and noticed that he was staring at the middle aged man behind Gongsun Hong.


    Little Rich Son didn''t know why, but no matter how he looked at their servants, they had such terrifying looks in their eyes.


    Actually, this was not Little Rich Son''s fault, it was just that the servant''s face had changed the moment he saw Little Rich Son, and was unluckily noticed by Little Rich Son.


    "This has only been half a year''s time. I thought that it would be an eternity for me and Brother Cheng to meet again, but who would''ve thought that we would meet so soon."


    Gongsun Hong faintly smiled, the trace of shock between her eyebrows made Jin Weiwei feel uncomfortable, why did she feel like Gongsun Hong had been looking at her this whole time?


    His heart pounding, Jin Weiwei took a step back and secretly pulled Little Rich Son''s sleeve. He looked at the servant behind Gongsun Hong, only to see that the servant was looking at him with an unfriendly gaze.


    Jin Weiwei''s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that these two were fake?


    "Young Master Cheng is in great danger right now. Sir, please save Young Master Cheng as soon as possible."


    Hearing that, Gongsun Hong''s gaze involuntarily landed on Jin Weiwei. This woman was very smart; she had already sensed that the atmosphere in the private room wasn''t right.


    "How about this, it''s not early yet. Shopkeeper Zhao, go prepare something ¡­" The two best rooms are for the two esteemed guests. "


    Gongsun Hong paused, looked at Jin Weiwei''s hair ornament, and saw that it was still a girl''s bun, he changed his words.


    Jin Weiwei did not dare to stay here anymore.


    "No need, it''s not too late yet. I still have some matters to attend to, so I''ll be leaving now."


    "Could it be that in the eyes of the young madam, this young master can eat people?"


    Gongsun Hong laughed, and looked at Jin Weiwei playfully, and realised that a burst of cold Qi had suddenly appeared on his body, raising his head, he saw Little Rich Son with a gloomy expression.


    "Yes."


    What?


    Jin Weiwei raised his head, only to see that his eyes was fixated on Gongsun Hong.

 C162

    "Hehe, Young Noble Gongsun, what are you talking about? There is something urgent for us to do, so we have to hurry back. But since my hubby has said that we will stay here, then we will stay."


    Just as Little Rich Son would not easily refute Jin Weiwei''s decision, neither would Jin Weiwei easily refute his decision.


    The two of them were very meticulous in their thoughts, no matter what they were doing, they would have their own considerations. Since Little Rich Son wanted to stay, he definitely had something to do.


    Hearing that, Gongsun Hong raised his eyebrows, and looked at Jin Weiwei and Little Rich Son with a smile that was not a smile.


    Interesting... He had clearly combed the girl''s hair into a bun, but had said that the person beside him was her hubby.


    Seeing the doubt in Gongsun Hong''s eyes, Jin Weiwei laughed: "Young master, you only need to give us a room."


    She didn''t want to give any extra explanation for someone who wasn''t important.


    Gongsun Hong nodded his head, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jin Weiwei.


    "I hope that Young Master will not forget to save Young Master Cheng."


    Even though this person was strange, the manager of the restaurant treated him with such respect, so his identity must be correct.


    "Naturally."


    Gongsun Hong laughed faintly, a trace of calculation appearing in his long and narrow eyes.


    When they left the restaurant, the smile on Gongsun Hong''s face disappeared, as he coldly looked at the person pushing the wheelchair.


    "Steward Fu, you know that man just now?"


    As soon as he entered the room, he felt the body of the person behind him stiffen. As he spoke, he didn''t say a word, as if he was very afraid of that man.


    Steward Fu was an old man who followed his father.


    He also saw that the person had a noble aura, and the woman beside him also had a noble aura. Although her personality was a bit off and she wasn''t that good-looking, her natural aura couldn''t be stopped.


    The identities of the two people were definitely not simple. Cheng Yu was just a merchant from a small town. If he wanted to save them, it should be easy.


    Steward Fu glanced left and right, laughing and laughing: "Young Noble, don''t think too much, it seems like you only feel that the man''s expression is too cold, and cannot help but be afraid."


    Gongsun Hong was the young son of Prefect Gongsun Minzhi, and was also his favorite. Unfortunately, when Gongsun Hong was seven years old, he fell from his horse and his two legs became crippled from then on.


    But this still could not stop Gongsun Hong''s intelligence. On the contrary, because of this, Gongsun Minzhi doted on Gongsun Hong even more and gave him the butler.


    Only now did Steward Fu recognize Little Rich Son as the prince he had been searching for for for a long time. Back then, Ji Jingzhi was also someone who had followed orders to chase after and kill Ji Jingzhi.


    On the other hand, Ji Jingzhi did not seem to recognize him, and was looking at him with a guarded and unfamiliar expression.


    "Steward Fu, you''ve been following me since I was eight. When are you going to lie and speak the truth?


    As he finished speaking, Gongsun Hong''s voice chilled down, and the Steward Fu couldn''t help but feel fear in his heart. Even though he wasn''t directly in front of Gongsun Hong, he could feel the haze that was on Gongsun Hong''s face.


    Everyone said that the Gongsun Clan''s Third Young Master was the most refined, gentle, and elegant of them all. He was as gentle as a fairy from the heavens. Unfortunately, his legs were crippled.


    These words were funny in the ears of the Steward Fu, only he who had grown up with Gongsun Hong knew that these were merely Gongsun Hong''s disguises.


    "Young master, this matter concerns the lord''s official path, I cannot speak of it."


    Forget it, since Young Master has seen through his disguise, he would not hide it from Gongsun Hong. However, he was still unable to tell Gongsun Hong that Young Master is someone from a shopping mall.


    Hearing this, Gongsun Hong no longer said anything, and his expression returned to normal, but there was still a wave of haze that could not be dispelled.


    His father loved him dearly, so he could clearly say a few words about government affairs. However, his father didn''t want him to touch it. Unless the problem really couldn''t be solved, then he would talk about it.


    He was crippled and unable to send a message to the official. This was the biggest regret of his life, but the more his father was like this, the stronger his desire to enter the civil service became.


    Cheng Yu did not immediately ask the Shen Family to help him. Instead, he chose him, because he definitely wanted to clear the debt he owed him. Otherwise, with Cheng Yu''s ability, how could he not come out?


    "..."


    At Gongsun Residence.


    After Steward Fu returned to send Gongsun Hong back to his room, he went straight to Gongsun Minzhi''s room.


    "What did Hong''er do today?"


    A low voice came from inside the room, it was the voice of a man. It was Yun Cheng Prefect, Gongsun Minzhi.


    Hearing that, the Steward Fu lowered his head: "Young Master''s old friend has come to ask for your help ¡­"


    "What else?"


    The Steward Fu''s obvious pause made Gongsun Minzhi curious. Hong''er has a steady mind and has a few tricks up her sleeve, going back and forth with Hong''er wasn''t just to praise Hong''er endlessly.


    Steward Fu looked around, approached Gongsun Minzhi and said: "Old master, one of the people who came to Young Master for help resembled Regent Ji Jingzhi."


    "What!"


    Gongsun Minzhi''s expression turned cold, and he almost knocked over the teacup on the table.


    "That Ji Jingzhi actually didn''t die!"


    "Master... Back then when I saw him fall off the cliff, I thought he was dead. Who knew he was still alive and well. "


    Steward Fu immediately knelt down as a layer of cold sweat covered his forehead. When he saw Ji Jingzhi today, he was also shocked, but back then, he clearly saw Ji Jingzhi fall off the cliff.


    "Foolish! Aren''t you going to take someone with you to search the bottom of the cliff? Today, it is because Regent cannot find Ji Jingzhi that his hands and feet are tied. If Regent can find Ji Jingzhi! All of us will die! "


    Gongsun Minzhi was already unable to care about his image as he walked around the room with his hands behind his back. Even though he was someone of the Xu Family and did things for the emperor, even the emperor had to give three points to the Regent and have his Xu Family cleaned up as well.


    If the Regent knew that he was the one who assassinated Ji Jingzhi, would he still be able to live!


    "Master, that Ji Jingzhi is currently residing in the first tier Xuan realm ¡­ "If not, I''ll bring my people ¡­"


    Steward Fu raised his head and said carefully. He reached out his hand to wipe his neck.


    Gongsun Minzhi finally understood and sat back down. After thinking for a while, he said: "Be careful, don''t let Hong''er find out, and don''t give Hong''er any trouble either."


    Steward Fu nodded. It seemed that the old master''s hesitation just now was an evaluation for the young master.


    Jin Weiwei was in a state of panic from afternoon until night.


    "Why did you stay?"


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but ask. She realized that she liked to meddle in Little Rich Son''s business more and more these days.


    "If we leave, it will be dangerous."


    Little Rich Son took out a cloak that had appeared out of nowhere and draped it over Jin Weiwei''s body, accompanying her as she stood outside the window blowing on the cold wind.


    Jin Weiwei sighed and said, "How is it dangerous? Is it that Young Master Gongsun? "


    Little Rich Son nodded, he could see killing intent and fear in that person''s eyes. The thing that he had lost his memory was definitely related to that person.


    "It''s very late, go to sleep."


    Little Rich Son held her, and gently caressed her hair that was becoming more and more nourished.

 C163

    Jin Weiwei sighed, his head resting in Little Rich Son''s embrace, looking at the moon in the sky.


    Mo Ba and the others were shivering from the cold. Seeing Jin Weiwei wearing the cloak that he had bought, he felt unresigned. It would be better to give it to this woman.


    prince was too biased.


    In the middle of the night, Jin Weiwei, who was sleeping soundly in Little Rich Son''s embrace, suddenly felt a chill. Little Rich Son frowned as he looked at Jin Weiwei, and after seeing that she had turned over and no longer moved, he brought the few people on the beam to rush out of the restaurant.


    Before leaving, Mo Ba couldn''t help but roll his eyes. He had never seen the prince being this careful with a woman before.


    "..."


    A few black shadows flashed across the sky above the restaurant, heading straight towards the Gongsun Residence.


    During the day, when Little Rich Son saw that there was something strange with the attendant behind Gongsun Hong, he let Mo Ba and Mo Feng go and check it out.


    Little Rich Son couldn''t help but frown when he entered Gongsun Manor. This place was an official''s residence, but the person guarding it was this relaxed.


    "prince, Gongsun Minzhi''s study room is in the southeast direction. This person is a lackey of Xu Family, specializing in opposing princes."


    Mo Ba cordially reminded Little Rich Son, who nodded, and in the next moment, they were all on top of Gongsun Minzhi''s roof.


    The light in the study room was obviously dim and flickering with shadows. Mo Feng took off the tiles and saw a pile of human heads. Could it be that the more capable servants in the house were all gathered here?


    However, Little Rich Son only saw a familiar face, it was the person who followed behind Gongsun Hong he saw earlier that day.


    The current him was dressed in black, and the half of his face that was revealed caused Little Rich Son to frown violently. He had actually seen this face in his dreams!


    "Are they going to kill someone?"


    Mo Feng could not be more familiar with this situation. Whenever the prince or the Duke had any mission, they would gather their brothers together to discuss on how to deal with it.


    "Do you hear me? Stay calm and collected. Don''t let the Third Young Master''s restaurant get infected by something that they shouldn''t have! "


    The people below all lowered their heads and did not make a sound.


    After a while, everyone inside had disappeared, Mo Feng''s eyes dimmed: This Gongsun Minzhi has guts, he actually dared to train a dark guard in private!


    Mo Feng could not be more familiar with the skills of these people, because he himself was a secret guard.


    "Go back!"


    Just as Mo Feng was about to emerge, he had already descended from the roof and rushed in the direction of the inn.


    Mo Ba followed along. He wanted to say something, but he saw that Little Rich Son''s face was as cold as winter ice.


    Jin Weiwei who was sleeping suddenly woke up, subconsciously touched the side, but was unable to touch anything, his heart immediately panicked. He looked down, it was empty!


    When he touched the cushion, it was still cold.


    "Little Rich Son..."


    Jin Weiwei called out softly with a slight tremble.


    The moment he landed, Jin Weiwei felt the wooden board beneath his feet trembling, and more and more clearly.


    Jin Weiwei took a step back.


    But before she could even react, a few black figures had already flashed into the window. Jin Weiwei didn''t even have the time to cry out in alarm before he was pulled into her embrace by Little Rich Son.


    The frightened Jin Weiwei hugged onto Little Rich Son''s waist tightly: "Where did you go? "Why ¡­!"


    Before she finished speaking, the door was smashed open. Jin Weiwei was shocked, her heart thumped wildly, she did not dare look, no matter how foolish she was, she knew that they had met with danger.


    Jin Weiwei felt a cold wind blow past her ears, and when Little Rich Son released her again, they were already surrounded by a large group of black clothed men.


    "Who are they?"


    Jin Weiwei frowned, her face was filled with worry. She did not want to end this matter like this, she had not even cultivated properly with Little Rich Son, and had not even gotten rich!


    Little Rich Son hid Jin Weiwei behind him and whispered, "Don''t speak."


    After saying that, he moved and sent a man in black, who wanted to ambush him, flying.


    Jin Weiwei was about to cry. If she knew earlier, she would have gone to learn some martial arts.


    "prince, you and Miss Kim go first, we will block this place."


    Mo Ba said softly, his gaze glaring at Jin Weiwei. If not for this woman, prince would not have returned, and would not have come to save people under the situation where she was discovered.


    Jin Weiwei''s pupils shrank, she was a little startled, what did she hear just now?


    prince...


    Little Rich Son was a prince ¡­


    "Alright."


    Lowering his eyes to look at Jin Weiwei, he saw that she was stunned, Little Rich Son could not help but frown, then flew towards the roof while hugging her.


    "..."


    "Wei ¡­" "Wei."


    Jin Weiwei regained his senses and looked at Little Rich Son in disbelief: "What did you call me?"


    "Weiwei."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. She had never heard Little Rich Son call her by name and she had wondered what it would be like if Little Rich Son were to call out her name.


    In the end, it turned out to be a situation like this. Even though it sounded good, it was very dangerous for both of them, okay!?


    "Let''s find a place to hide, or I''ll hide, or I''ll drag you down."


    The wrist that Little Rich Son was pinching trembled lightly. Listening carefully, Jin Weiwei''s voice also trembled a little because she was afraid.


    Jin Weiwei clearly understood that if she were to act like a spoiled child to Little Rich Son now, she would shed two tears, and Little Rich Son would definitely bring her away. However, this would only make the two of them more dangerous, and it would be better for her to take a step back.


    "No, let''s go."


    After Little Rich Son finished speaking, he brought Jin Weiwei deeper into the forest.


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei''s eyes suddenly turned red, his eyes became moist and hot, all the things in front of her blurred together, and only the warmth on her palm allowed her to see the light.


    Ah!


    With a twist of his feet, Jin Weiwei fell to the ground. His panicked voice echoed in the valley.


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes were filled with tears, she immediately covered her mouth, but the pain on her leg caused her to convulse.


    "I''ll carry you."


    Little Rich Son reached out his hands to feel around Jin Weiwei''s ankles, only to discover that Jin Weiwei''s entire being had started to spank even more, and he carried Jin Weiwei on his back.


    Jin Weiwei simply did not have the chance to refuse, she was in so much pain that she could not speak anymore.


    The trees behind him rustled, Jin Weiwei clenched his teeth, bent down and hugged Little Rich Son, and a few golden beans dropped to the ground.


    "If I die ¡­"


    "Nope."


    Before Jin Weiwei could finish his words, he was interrupted by Little Rich Son. Jin Weiwei gritted his teeth and did not say anything else.


    Just as she was thinking, a cold wind brushed past her ears, as if something bright had passed by.


    Jin Weiwei looked carefully, it was a long blade emitting cold light, before she could even react, a few sharp blades had already cut through the air, causing goosebumps to appear on her back.


    "Squat here."


    Little Rich Son''s voice came from beside her ears, and immediately after, she only saw his back.

 C164

    Lifting her eyes, she could only hear the clashing of weapons as several black shadows blended together.


    She wanted to look for Little Rich Son''s figure, but she discovered that all she could see were black shadows. She couldn''t even find Little Rich Son''s figure.


    Pfft!


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s heart trembled, he was injured?


    The sounds of weapons clashing sounded out again, and Jin Weiwei was able to differentiate where Little Rich Son was, the one who was being forced to retreat, the one who was being surrounded and attacked, was Little Rich Son.


    There were only three or four people left fighting him, and no matter how skilled Little Rich Son was, he was unable to fend off all these trained people.


    Jin Weiwei could not help but clench his teeth, what should he do?


    If this continued, she and Little Rich Son would truly be done for here.


    "Chi!"


    Jin Weiwei listened till his scalp went numb, and his heart tightened. Looking left and right, he found a very large tree, which was big enough for her to call out the spatial door.


    Gritting his teeth, Jin Weiwei lowered his body and crawled over. Just as she was about to arrive, she was discovered.


    Little Rich Son had no time to defend, he immediately slashed towards Jin Weiwei''s direction. Seeing that, Little Rich Son could not care about it, he blocked the long blades of the other two people and flew towards Jin Weiwei.


    "..." Hurry and show up! "


    Jin Weiwei bellowed, and Little Rich Son pounced on her.


    Rip!


    The sound of clothes being torn could be heard. In the next second, a bright light flashed and the two of them disappeared.


    "Where is he?"


    At the last moment, the assassin who struck Little Rich Son was completely stunned. He could have killed him just now, but how did he disappear into thin air?


    "..." Mo... Could it be that there is something unclean in the forest? "


    The other person was also scared, not to mention this forest, it was the easiest place to get something unclean.


    "Return and report this to the old master. Let''s go, let''s go!"


    As soon as the words left his mouth, the few of them looked around in a symbolic manner. After confirming that there was no one around, they went back in fear.


    "..."


    After hearing the voice outside the door, Jin Weiwei finally heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Little Rich Son.


    He was unconscious and his clothes were stained with blood.


    "Little Rich Son!"


    Jin Weiwei panicked and immediately went to help Little Rich Son. The sound of water flowing could be heard, and Jin Weiwei suddenly regained her senses. That''s right, she was in the space, everything in space could cure illnesses, yes, it could cure illnesses.


    Jin Weiwei cupped a handful of water beside Little Rich Son and fed it through his dry and cracked lips.


    But Little Rich Son''s lips were tightly shut, and could not even feed her much, Jin Weiwei frowned, this, this was not her fault!


    As he thought about this, Jin Weiwei drank a mouthful of water from the lake, then walked in front of Little Rich Son and kissed his lips without hesitation.


    only realized what he had done after sending all the water into his mouth. His face flushed red as he caressed his lips.


    She shook her head. What was she thinking!


    After ripping apart Little Rich Son''s clothes, Jin Weiwei''s entire body started to tremble in pain. Those wounds that were so deep that the bones in his body could almost be seen, seemed to have been dug into her chest.


    "Little Rich Son, I''ll lead you there."


    Since the things in the space could cure illnesses, then with Little Rich Son''s wounds all over his body, if she put him in the water to bathe, wouldn''t the wounds on his body heal a little faster?


    Jin Weiwei clenched his teeth as he held onto Little Rich Son. Normally, he would see that Little Rich Son was pretty thin, but he didn''t expect it to be so heavy.


    After searching for a shallow place, Jin Weiwei let them in, and later, she sat down breathlessly by the pool''s edge.


    Seeing that Little Rich Son was about to fall forward, Jin Weiwei panicked and immediately hugged Little Rich Son.


    Who knew that he would be completely drenched after being thrown into the pond?


    "I really can''t tell. So you can still torture people like this even though you''re unconscious!"


    Jin Weiwei climbed to the shore, one hand still holding onto Little Rich Son, afraid that he would fall down.


    After resting for a while, just as she wanted to climb up, a hand appeared at her waist, tightly holding onto her.


    "Little Rich Son! "Let go, I''m about to die ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei wanted to cry, but no tears came out. The strength of the injured person was still so strong, if she did not see the wounds on his body, she would not have believed that the person in front of her was an injured person.


    Finished speaking, Jin Weiwei looked down to see the injuries on Little Rich Son''s body, don''t let her struggle to open Little Rich Son''s wounds.


    Bang!


    The wound was slightly smaller than before?


    Jin Weiwei rubbed his eyes in disbelief. The effects of this space couldn''t have been as terrifying as it was now, could it?


    They didn''t come in for long!


    After being shocked, Jin Weiwei accepted it. After all, this was a space, so she should not be surprised about what happened.


    "..."


    Lishui County.


    Jiang Qingfu had made a house of not too big size for Jin Xiaodia, but it was enough to make him happy.


    When she was together with Jiang Qingshou before, she didn''t even have such a large courtyard house.


    Although she was happy, Jin Xiaodia still resented her decision. If she had married Jiang Qingfu back then, then she would be Jiang Qingfu''s wife.


    Jin Xiaodia was extremely anxious. He had not come here since the last time Jiang Qingfu placed her, and it was as if he had forgotten about her.


    This could not continue!


    Otherwise, how would she take her revenge?


    I''ve got...


    A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Jin Xiaodia''s eyes. He threw the teacup by his side, picked up the pieces, and cut his wrist.


    Ah!


    Hearing the noise, the servant girl outside screamed, the blood on Jin Xiaodia''s wrist flowed out and dyed a large portion of his robes red.


    Quick, someone come in! Madame Jin committed suicide! "


    After hearing those words, Jin Xiaodia was relieved. As long as she pretended to commit suicide, she did not believe that Jiang Qingfu would not come.


    She had specially taken care of it these past two days, and it had finally returned to the way she looked when she was two years younger.


    Jin Xiaodia had even made people change into a pink jacket and skirt. Jin Xiaodia was originally white, but at this moment, she was so soft that she looked boneless, and was still caring and pitying.


    After an unknown period of time, Jiang Qingfu finally arrived. Jin Xiaodia''s eyelids twitched, but he did not open his eyes.


    Back then, when Jiang Qingshou wanted to find a woman outside, she could only cry and make a fuss; it was useless hanging herself. In the end, she still used such a small method to get Jiang Qingshou back.


    Don''t men like weak ones?


    Then she would be weak, and wouldn''t believe that Jiang Qingfu wouldn''t fall for her trap.


    "Xiaodia, why did you commit suicide?"


    Seeing Jin Xiaodia like that, Jiang Qingfu''s eyes became darker. This girl was completely different from last time, she had spent so much effort just to see him.


    However ¡­ If she wanted to play, he would play with her.


    "Why is cousin here? I''ve been a joke to my cousin. "


    As he said that, he actually wiped his tears away in front of Jiang Qingfu, and cried pitifully.


    Jiang Qingfu took the opportunity to sit down and hold Jin Xiaodia in his arms, and said: "Xiaodia must be thinking of my little brother, which is why he is acting this way.

 C165

    Jin Xiaodia pretended not to see Jiang Qingfu''s movements and continued crying sorrowfully.


    "My life is miserable, now that Qingshou is gone, what meaning does it have to stay here by myself?"


    With that, Jin Xiaodia buried himself in Jiang Qingfu''s chest and cried.


    "Don''t you still have me?"


    Jiang Qingfu laughed, and squinted his eyes, thinking about something.


    Hearing that, ecstasy appeared in Jin Xiaodia''s eyes. If not for her being in Jiang Qingfu''s embrace, her true appearance would have been exposed, and he would have inevitably seen through her.


    "I am already old, and wish to live on, cousin brother, do not praise Xiaodia."


    With that, she pushed Jiang Qingfu away and laid back on the bed.


    Seeing this, Jiang Qingfu laughed coldly in his heart. He had quite a number of concubines in his backyard, and he had long seen through Jin Xiaodia''s thoughts. It was because Jin Xiaodia looked down on him and thought that he had no money, that made him not let his parents marry him.


    Now that he said it nicely, it was just that he came back because he had money, he wanted Jin Xiaodia to have a taste of being abandoned.


    After thinking about it, Jiang Qingfu waved to the people behind him, and waited for everyone in the room to leave. With a flip of his body, Jiang Qingfu climbed onto Jin Xiaodia''s bed.


    "..." What are you doing! "


    Jin Xiaodia suddenly opened her eyes. Although this was what she was looking forward to, it was still too fast.


    "Xiaodia... When I didn''t marry you, do you know how uncomfortable my heart was? Now that Qingshou is gone, wouldn''t I be taking care of you in his place? "


    Just as Jin Xiaodia was hesitating whether he should accept it or not, Jiang Qingfu had already ripped off his clothes.


    He did not obtain this woman back then, but he had let that brat, Jiang Qingshou, off the hook. Now, he wanted Jiang Qingshou to see the woman he used to enjoy being under him, and also want her to see the result of looking down on him!


    Jin Xiaodia accepted Jiang Qingfu as he pushed and shoved her, and when Jiang Qingfu started to gnaw on her body, he was happy in his heart, so what if she had married before?


    After the moment of happiness, Jin Xiaodia blushed and leaned into Jiang Qingfu''s embrace, her voice was so soft it seemed to go down to the bone.


    "Now that you''re like this, how can I face Qingshou ¡­"


    "Now that he''s been sent away, he can''t take care of you anymore. From now on, let me take care of you, okay?"


    Such gentleness was something that Jiang Qingshou had never given her before. With this goal in mind, ripples surfaced in Jin Xiaodia''s heart.


    "..." Xiaodia is now your man and you have no other choice, you ¡­ "When will you accept me into your palace, even if it''s just a concubine ¡­"


    Jin Xiaodia lowered his position, and revealed a weak and gentle appearance, just in order to arouse Jiang Qingfu''s desire to protect him, so that he could get a place.


    Hearing this, Jiang Qingfu raised his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth lifted into a sneer. A broken shoe that had been played by another man, yet wanted to be famous?


    Don''t think that he didn''t know that Jin Xiaodia had already been abandoned by Jiang Qingshou.


    "I know all about your worries. You can stay here, but I have to find a chance to tell my current mistress. No matter what, I won''t let you down."


    Hearing this, Jin Xiaodia''s heart was in ecstasy. According to Jiang Qingfu''s idea, she might even take Jiang Qingfu''s place?


    "Mm ¡­" Xiaodia will listen to you. "


    Jiang Qingfu caressed Jin Xiaodia''s skin which could still be considered smooth, his mind drifted to an unknown place.


    "..."


    Jin Weiwei didn''t know how long she slept in the space, she only remembered that she was tired from taking care of Little Rich Son, so she fell asleep beside the pool of water.


    When he woke up, he found that there was no one by his side.


    "Little Rich Son!"


    He stood up and saw a voice standing in the distance. It was only when he heard her voice that he turned his head around.


    "Where is this place?"


    Little Rich Son had a face full of doubt, but Jin Weiwei stopped and froze in place. She had originally wanted to leave this space before Little Rich Son woke up, who knew if she had fallen asleep.


    How was she going to explain this to Little Rich Son?


    That this was something the deity had given her?


    Even she didn''t believe him, so how could she make others believe her?


    "The wounds on my body ¡­"


    After thinking about it so much, Little Rich Son had already reached her side. He looked down at her as if he did not recognize her.


    There were borders to this place, but he just couldn''t find his way out. He had often heard people discussing the existence of an Immortal Realm.


    Before, he didn''t believe in things that talked about ghosts and gods, but now, after seeing this sort of peach blossom, he was shaken.


    Jin Weiwei swallowed his saliva. Forget it, he was going to throw caution to the wind!


    She had come to this world only to ask someone of the same heart. From the beginning to the end, she had always had a head full of white hair. This was what she had thought before, and also what she had thought here.


    Betting that Little Rich Son was the person destined for her, betting that she would get what she wanted in her entire life.


    "..." This is a space, and you were severely injured, so I had no choice but to call it out. "


    "¡­"


    Little Rich Son clenched his fists tightly. He seemed to have heard a lot from the storytellers that the fairy in the sky would return to the sky when her immortal skills were exposed.


    Jin Weiwei swallowed his saliva, and said: "This space is parallel to the outside space, and your injuries were also healed by me inside."


    "You will leave?"


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei was startled for a few seconds, and she left? Where was she going?


    Raising her head, she saw the rare look of panic and worry on Little Rich Son''s face.


    "What are you thinking? Where do you think you''re going if you leave me... "Oh, puchi ¡­"


    As if she thought of something, Jin Weiwei covered his mouth and laughed. She roughly knew what Little Rich Son was thinking about.


    He probably thought of her as one of the seven fairies, and thinking of this, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but want to tease Little Rich Son.


    "Mm ¡­" Now that you see it here, I think I... "Mhmm ¡­"


    Before Jin Weiwei could finish speaking, he was already being embraced by Little Rich Son.


    "You''re not allowed to leave!"


    Jin Weiwei was startled. He wrapped his arm around Little Rich Son''s waist and could clearly feel that he was trembling.


    "I was just joking, I''m actually not someone from this world. I, I don''t know how to say it, I''m not the original Jin Weiwei, but a soul from another world ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes reddened, and she revealed the secret buried in her heart.


    Perhaps the things that had been suppressed in his heart for too long, made Jin Weiwei want to cry. Now, there was finally someone who could share these secrets with her.


    "Soul?"


    Little Rich Son let go of Jin Weiwei, but his hand still held tightly onto Jin Weiwei''s wrist. His face was filled with suspicion, as he did not understand what Jin Weiwei meant.


    "That''s right, I am a soul from a few thousand years later. In my world, all the people here can only be considered my ancestors."


    Jin Weiwei was silent for a moment, then explained, and did not know if Little Rich Son could understand.


    "You won''t leave?"


    From beginning to end, this was what Little Rich Son was worried about.

 C166

    "I... "I won''t leave."


    In the beginning, Jin Weiwei was a little hesitant, she didn''t even know what would happen if she were to meet with an accident one day, what would happen if she were to wear it somewhere else?


    But the moment she raised her eyes, she changed her mind. She saw what she wanted from Little Rich Son''s eyes.


    That was what she had been hoping for in her previous life. When something beautiful was placed in front of her, she didn''t want to give it up.


    The moment she finished speaking, Jin Weiwei seemed to have seen Little Rich Son''s eyes loosen up slightly, and the rest were filled with warmth.


    "You are not allowed to leave."


    Returning to tranquility, Little Rich Son seemed to want to confirm it again, and he repeated his words once more.


    Jin Weiwei smiled and nodded: "I won''t leave."


    "Hmm, how do we leave?"


    Little Rich Son nodded, holding her wrist tightly, he looked around.


    "Simple. Wait a moment."


    Jin Weiwei laughed, closed his eyes and muttered, a deep wood coloured door appeared at the end of the left wing.


    Little Rich Son looked down at her: "How did this door appear?"


    "So, it appeared just like that."


    Jin Weiwei smiled mysteriously as he pulled Little Rich Son and ran in the direction of the door.


    Opening the door, the two of them walked out. Little Rich Son turned around and saw that the door had disappeared.


    "Stop looking, the door has disappeared long ago."


    Jin Weiwei tugged at him, seeing the doubt in his eyes, he revealed two cute tiger teeth: This thing can only be called out by me, other people cannot.


    "Yes."


    Little Rich Son nodded and pulled Jin Weiwei out of the forest.


    Thinking about it, the last time Jin Weiwei suddenly disappeared from the forest, it was because of this space.


    "Next time, you''re not allowed to bring anyone in."


    With his words shut, Jin Weiwei felt that Little Rich Son''s words were a little cold, and a little bitter.


    She took someone in? Is it space?


    The only time she had taken anyone in was the time she had collected wheat.


    Those people probably didn''t even know she had the space. What was so delicious about vinegar?


    "And don''t let anyone know that you have... "This one."


    Finished speaking, Little Rich Son turned around to look at her, his long and deep eyes filled with killing intent.


    The thing Jin Weiwei was carrying was too unbelievable, and the thing inside was too magical. He was afraid that Jin Weiwei might encounter danger.


    Jin Weiwei immediately understood what was in Little Rich Son''s eyes, and hurriedly said: "When I brought them in, I was blindfolded, and when I came out, I was blindfolded. Until now, they still don''t know where I took them."


    Hearing that, the killing intent in Little Rich Son''s eyes dissipated a little, and the corner of her mouth twitched, was she right?


    Little Rich Son wanted to kill someone just now.


    "You can''t touch them, they all... These are all innocent people. "


    Jin Weiwei did not wish for himself to be in danger, but he also did not wish for others to lose their lives because of him.


    "..." "Alright."


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son nodded his head, and at the same time, the two of them walked out of the forest.


    There was a wide road outside. Judging from the level of the ground, it should be a government road.


    "We have to get out of here."


    Jin Weiwei was anxious, she had suddenly disappeared with Little Rich Son, it was hard to say if they would be able to ambush here.


    "Yes."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei suddenly flew into the air, and subconsciously grabbed for the life saving straw, but when he reached Little Rich Son''s neck, by the time he reacted, the two of them were already flying above the tree.


    Jin Weiwei had never seen the scenery from this angle before. She had taken a plane in the past, but it was only through the window, so she did not have such a strong feeling.


    "..." Would the guards who followed you be in danger? "


    At this moment, Jin Weiwei finally remembered Mo Ba and the others who were following Little Rich Son.


    "I''m fine."


    He had seen the skills of those guards before, even if they couldn''t win, they were more than enough to escape.


    Seeing how confident Little Rich Son was, Jin Weiwei did not question him anymore. Little Rich Son''s identity was too mysterious, she wanted to ask many times, but she did not say anything. She was afraid that she would know something, so Little Rich Son left even faster.


    After the two left that day, Mo Ba and the others did not continue fighting and turned around to look for Little Rich Son and Jin Weiwei.


    However, when they followed the tracks of Gongsun Residence''s people, they ended up like they had disappeared from the world. Just like when they went to look for Jin Weiwei, even though there were traces left behind, they suddenly disappeared.


    Helpless, they could only expand their search perimeter in the forest. Mo Feng even sent people to the Gongsun Residence to check if Little Rich Son was caught, and got the news that he and Jin Weiwei suddenly disappeared.


    "Could this Jin Weiwei be some demon beast?!"


    A few of them were gathered together, Mo Ba was roasting fish in the creek, as though he had thought of something, he suddenly stood up and roared.


    "What are you crazy about? prince must be around here, why do you care about anything else? "


    Mo Feng frowned, and looked at Mo Ba with dissatisfaction. He had just been engrossed in thought, and was interrupted by Mo Ba''s shout.


    "That Jin Weiwei must be a monster. Otherwise, why would prince set his eyes on her when she''s so ugly? Do you remember? The last time she disappeared, we went to look. She also disappeared into the forest all of a sudden, but when we were about to leave, she appeared again.


    Mo Ba said with certainty. Mo Feng sighed, not wanting to talk nonsense with Mo Ba.


    That Jin Weiwei doesn''t have any martial arts on him, how could he be a monster?


    "It''s best to think of a way to find the prince now. If anything happens to the prince, go back to the palace and His Highness will not spare us."


    Mo Feng frowned as he looked at Mo Ba who was still deep in thought.


    Little Rich Son brought Jin Weiwei on a walk for a long time, and saw a pile of smoke from afar.


    As if he had caught a whiff of the fragrance, Jin Weiwei''s stomach started to growl unhappily. Seeing Little Rich Son looking at her, Jin Weiwei blushed and crawled into his embrace.


    Little Rich Son laughed lightly, and flew towards the direction of the smoke.


    "..."


    "prince!"


    Mo Ba chewed on the grass with boredom, the worry between his brows could not be dispelled, he raised his head and suddenly saw two figures. In front of him, he finally recognized the person and shouted excitedly.


    Jin Weiwei was startled, she was really too coincidental, she was just worried about them, she did not expect to casually find a place to hide, and it just so happened that it would be them.


    "Is there anything to eat?"


    "What?" Yes, yes, prince, this is a freshly roasted fish. "


    Mo Ba suddenly could not react. Seeing Little Rich Son''s eyes looking at the grilled fish, he thought that prince must be hungry after not seeing him for two days, so he took the fish over.


    Who knew that Little Rich Son would turn around and give the fish to Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei received the fish in a daze, Little Rich Son looked at her and laughed: "Eat."


    Hearing him, Jin Weiwei took a deep breath, and the smell of the fish entered her nose, causing her to be even hungrier.


    He did not care about much, and directly sliced off half of the fish, and handed the other half to Little Rich Son, and said: "I can''t finish all of them."

 C167

    Seeing that Jin Weiwei was sensible, the anger that was accumulated in Mo Ba''s heart dispersed by half. This fish was even roasted by him, he was even reluctant to eat it and so he just gave it to prince.


    Mo Ba''s face was ugly, Mo Feng immediately went forward to block him, and seeing that, Mo Ba felt his stomach ache.


    "prince, we need to leave this place as soon as possible. Since Gongsun Minzhi''s men did not catch you, they will definitely not let this matter rest. "Otherwise, it would be best if you come back to the capital with us."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s chewing started to slow down, she actually wanted to hear what Little Rich Son had to say.


    "Not going."


    Responding to Mo Feng were cold words, but seeing Mo Feng''s bitter and unspeakable appearance, Jin Weiwei started to sympathize with them, since Little Rich Son was normally cold to the point where he had to struggle to speak with others, his thoughts became even more difficult to guess.


    Now, they didn''t even know what Little Rich Son was thinking. They were still subordinates, and it was truly pitiful.


    Maybe the reason why Little Rich Son stayed was for her. Thinking to here, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but feel happy and couldn''t hold back the laughter that came out of his mouth.


    His laugh drew everyone''s attention, causing Jin Weiwei to bite his lips and hide behind Little Rich Son.


    Little Rich Son swept everyone with his cold gaze. "Return to the Lishui County."


    "Yes."


    Even Mo Ba, who grew up with the prince, did not dare to go against prince''s decision, but he was unwilling.


    Jin Weiwei looked at Mo Ba, and coincidentally saw Mo Ba rolling his eyes at her. Jin Weiwei choked and embarrassedly touched her face.


    As for Gongsun Hong, after knowing that Jin Weiwei and the others had left, he headed towards the Lishui County.


    This time, he wanted Cheng Yu to owe him.


    Jin Weiwei, Little Rich Son and a few guards were hurrying along, their brains almost popping out. Their lightness skills were very good, faster than fart, she admitted this, but she was a weak girl, in an emergency, she could not say that she was not feeling well.


    However, the result was that every time Little Rich Son stopped, she would throw up all over while hugging the big tree, and comfort Little Rich Son to show that she was alright.


    She already knew that Gongsun Jiu didn''t look like a good person. It was weird that he could save Cheng Yu, she had to rush back to see what that Gongsun Hong was up to.


    Finally, on the third day, Jin Weiwei and the others arrived at the Lishui County.


    Once they had arrived, Jin Weiwei was escorted by Little Rich Son to take a bath, and changed his clothes before coming to visit the "severely injured" Cheng Yu.


    "Your wounds are much better now. They''re almost forming into scabs, and you''re still talking about your injuries and how you didn''t wake up ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei brought some fruits with him, and when he saw that Cheng Yu was fine, he could not help but taunt him.


    "Aren''t we waiting for you to come back and save me?"


    Cheng Yu laughed, his face was still a little pale, but he looked even more like an immortal.


    "I won''t be able to save you. Oh, right, who is that Gongsun gongzi to you?"


    Jin Weiwei asked, first she had to ask about the relationship between Cheng Yu and herself, then she could think of a way to put it.


    "Ho ¡­ I only saved his life in passing. This time, I let him repay the gratitude."


    Speaking of this, Jin Weiwei actually realized that Cheng Yu''s eyes were cold, and there was even a deep sense of precaution within them. He thought, This Gongsun Hong really has a problem, why else would the usually gentle Cheng Yu reveal such an expression?


    "What''s wrong? "You think he has a problem?"


    The two of them were both master and friend. Cheng Yu could be considered to understand Jin Weiwei, so he knew that Jin Weiwei must have thought that there was something wrong with his question.


    "Mn, he ¡­" You must have had your own reasons for not saving you after coming here for so long. "


    Jin Weiwei originally wanted to tell Cheng Yu about someone attempting to assassinate them, but taking into account the special nature of Little Rich Son''s identity, he opened his mouth.


    According to her knowledge, Gongsun Hong had already been here for around two days, but he did not make any movements, which was already very suspicious.


    "I know."


    Cheng Yu frowned. He had originally wanted to take this opportunity to drive away the kindness Gongsun Hong owed him. On the surface, it meant that he relied heavily on Gongsun Hong, but he never thought that Gongsun Hong would be so easy to fool.


    "Young Master Cheng, if there is anything else you need my help with, you must tell me."


    Jin Weiwei sighed. If Cheng Yu still didn''t come out, a lot of her business would go bad. She was really far from becoming a rich woman.


    "I''m still unconscious, King..." Weiwei, just pretend you didn''t come. "


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei was not by his side, Cheng Yu became braver, and immediately called out the name that he did not know how many times he had called out.


    Jin Weiwei was startled and blinked: "You don''t need to be so courteous."


    It was obvious that Cheng Yu had only called her by her name. It was a very normal thing, but why did she feel that it was a little strange?


    "..."


    As soon as he left the entrance of the county magistrate court, Jin Weiwei felt a wave of sleepiness. It had been three or four days since she had a good rest.


    Who would have thought that they would meet a beast dressed in clothes at the door. That was right, in Jin Weiwei''s eyes, Gongsun Hong had already turned into a wolf wrapped in sheepskin, with gold and jade inside.


    Gongsun Hong smiled as she blocked Jin Weiwei''s path, and asked: "I had originally wanted to go with you guys, but who knew that you guys would leave without even greeting each other.


    Actually, he could roughly guess why Jin Weiwei and his group left. He discovered many messy footsteps in the backyard, and guessed that there must be someone chasing after Jin Weiwei and the others.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei almost vomited two mouthfuls of saliva to Gongsun Hong, what he said was truly an exaggeration, who would have thought that the hidden evil intent behind his words was actually the real deal?


    "That day, I didn''t tell Young Master that it was our fault. It''s just that the matters at home couldn''t be delayed. That''s why I didn''t bid Young Master farewell."


    Jin Weiwei giggled and secretly rolled his eyes.


    Gongsun Hong nodded his head, the interest in his eyes grew even stronger, he had just seen the cold look in her eyes, he was afraid that he had misunderstood and sent people to kill her.


    Without further explanation, Gongsun Hong smiled lightly: "If that''s the case, then I won''t disturb Madame Jin. If I have time, I hope that you can let me have a meal with you."


    "This... We''ll talk about it when we have time. "


    Eating with him, she was afraid she wouldn''t be able to eat.


    Hearing that, Gongsun Hong still maintained his smile and stepped aside to make way for Jin Weiwei.


    Today, following Jin Weiwei was a ingot, and Little Rich Son went somewhere else, so the ingot came to him on its own accord, causing his face to darken. Jin Weiwei was really afraid, and so he agreed.


    Jin Weiwei returned to the meat shop first, and called out to Tao Xiaoqing the moment he entered the door. "Xiaoqing, have you already sent all the sausages to Wonder House?"


    "The boss has already sent it over and inspected it. Zhou Manager is very satisfied with it."


    "En, that''s good. Oh right, Yuanbao, has our porridge rack been set up?"


    After asking Tao Xiaoqing, Jin Weiwei thought of another thing, and turned to ask Yuanbao.


    Yuanbao nodded his head. "It''s done. There are a lot of people who came to eat congee."


    What Jin Weiwei did not know was that during the time she had left, her reputation in Lishui County had already spread far and wide.

 C168

    Her porridge shed had been built the longest, and had the most weight among all the porridge sheds. To a certain extent, she had also helped Wang Hai relieve some of the burden of the porridge sheds, so no one came to disturb her porridge house. It was said that when Wang Hai had people patrol the porridge sheds, it was to prevent people from causing trouble.


    "I''m going back ¡­" "That''s not right. Also, Yuan Bao, how are the crops in the manor doing?"


    Aiyo, she was really tired and confused. She could even forget such an important matter.


    "The rice, sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes have all been cooked and tidied up, along with the green fruits. They''ve been sent to the mountains to look for them, they''re almost fully grown."


    Yuanbao looked at her and said extremely seriously.


    Jin Weiwei nodded his head and said: "sprinkle the rice again, I think that the weather should be able to mature again. Also, how much can you plant for green rice, sweet potato, corn, potatoes and other varieties?


    Now that Cheng Yu had entered the dungeon, the price of the Rice Noodle Roll definitely had an impact.


    "The price of the rice has been raised to forty-five cents for one round. The remaining prices are all between thirty-five."


    Jin Weiwei frowned, it had only been a week since she left, and without Cheng Yu''s restraints, they had actually started doing whatever they wanted. If this continued, then even the citizens of Lishui County would complain, and Wang Hai''s official road would end.


    Since it would endanger Wang Hai''s official journey, would Wang Hai even care about it?


    Otherwise, Wang Hai''s order to go out to sea was enough to make the people from the Lishui County Chamber of Commerce listen to him.


    "I got it, take all the food from the village and put it in the storage, don''t break the porridge in the porridge shed. Also, Xiaoqing, I will leave Little Rich Son''s work to you for the next two days."


    "Ok, boss, don''t worry."


    She could not allow Little Rich Son to reveal himself, she had thought about it on the way back, from the moment Gongsun Hong entered, when his face changed, they had been chased after him at night, and it was not a coincidence, the only thing that made sense was that Gongsun Hong or the person backing him had enmity with Little Rich Son.


    Although her actions were useless, Gongsun Hong would not brazenly attack them.


    Jin Weiwei believed that Little Rich Son and their underlings would not be bad after all he had planned.


    Thinking about it this way, the fatigue on Jin Weiwei''s body disappeared. She wanted to take a look around the street.


    Thinking of this, she left without realizing that the ingot was following behind her.


    When they reached the edge of the usual refugee camp, they were suddenly surrounded by a few hungry-looking, emaciated refugees.


    "Madam, please give me something to eat. My child hasn''t eaten for several days and is about to starve to death."


    An elderly woman whose face could not be seen knelt in front of Jin Weiwei with a ''putong'' sound and screamed in a miserable voice.


    Jin Weiwei was really shocked, she thought that these people were here to rob her, she didn''t expect them to be here for help.


    "Not only are there porridge from the Shangguan Family in every corner of the Lishui County, there are also some wealthy businessmen preparing porridge. How come you guys don''t have anything to eat?"


    Calming down, Jin Weiwei asked with a frown. No matter how diluted the porridge was, one could still drink until they were full.


    Madam, do you know that there are only a few refugees in the city? We are all refugees who have been held back outside the city and are not allowed to enter. Many of the porridge that the government has released is mixed with sand and grass.


    Jin Weiwei frowned, Wang Hai would not do such a thing as digging one''s own grave?


    Wang Hai was probably afraid that something would happen and that it would be hard to control. If it was her, she would do the same, but she would have to eat the corpses of the people if she mixed the soil and grass in the porridge.


    "Who is in charge of the refugees outside the city?"


    Jin Weiwei asked again, and the old granny immediately answered: It''s Assistant County Magistrate Xu, he''s in charge.


    No wonder, if it was Xu Ziqi, then everything made sense. Assistant County Magistrate Xu''s actions towards Cheng Yu being framed were very strange, she could also tell that the Assistant County Magistrate Xu and Zhi Lan were not very well-disposed towards each other, and were about to be promoted to Zhi County, then as the opponent of Zhi County, Assistant County Magistrate Xu would definitely cause trouble.


    Jin Weiwei searched his body and found that there were only a few pieces of silver, she placed all of the silver into the old lady''s hands and said: "Aunt, I only have these today, take it to buy some food for your child, it''s best to go and see a doctor."


    The old granny and the few refugees behind her were grateful. Jin Weiwei nodded and found a carriage to take home.


    Now that her Lishui County were in such a mess, it was best for her to be a little more careful.


    "..."


    First level Xuan.


    After changing into a set of blue silk clothes, Gongsun Hong raised her eyebrows at the person in front of her and asked: "Have you settled the matters here?"


    "It''s done, I''ve said what needed to be said."


    "En, very good. Go down."


    After the person left, Gongsun Hong looked towards Ma Chengfu who was seated at the side.


    "After so many years, Boss Ma''s complexion is getting better and better."


    Gongsun Hong chuckled, a sinister aura constantly being emitted from under his gentle face.


    Ma Chengfu could not help but tremble, and smiled as he replied: "Master, what are you talking about?


    Thinking back to back then, when he did that kind of thing to buy and sell women and was caught red-handed, Gongsun Hong had still helped him. But he had also become Gongsun Hong''s lackey, and on the surface, he only did things for Xu Ziqi.


    "Since you know that I''m your master, why did you make a move on Cheng Yu without my order?"


    Gongsun Hong sneered, her slender and smooth fingers circled around the tea leaves, as though they were wearing a layer of light, looking extremely beautiful.


    "Master, didn''t you always want to take down Lishui County? Now, if you become the president of the Lishui County Chamber of Commerce, wouldn''t that be completely harmless to master? "


    Ma Chengfu panicked, thinking that he still had a handle on buying and selling women in Gongsun Hong''s hands, he felt a wave of lingering fear.


    "Is this something Xu Ziqi promised you? Boss Ma, when did your vision become so short? "


    "Small... "Small..."


    All these years, Gongsun Hong had never come to the Lishui County, but he had helped to manage many of Gongsun Hong''s businesses. Gradually, he forgot what kind of person Gongsun Hong was, and his heart naturally changed.


    "I don''t like disobedient dogs."


    With that, Ma Chengfu fell from his seat and immediately crawled to Gongsun Hong''s side and begged, "Sir, I beg you to spare me, I will definitely listen to you, and beg you to spare me ¡­"


    The air in the private room seemed to freeze, and after a long while, Ma Chengfu still did not hear Gongsun Hong''s voice.


    Just as he was about to raise his head, Gongsun Hong spoke out: "Get up, this young master wants you to do something."


    "Young master, please speak."


    The head that Ma Chengfu wanted to lift up lowered again, his entire body trembling like a dog begging for food.


    "Jin Weiwei, do you know him?"


    "Jin Weiwei?"


    Ma Chengfu read it again. Why did it feel a little familiar?

 C169

    "She ¡­" It seems to be a peddler cooperating with Cheng Yu. Oh, right, she has been quite famous recently with this Lishui County. "


    It was even a chess piece he used to deal with Cheng Yu.


    "If I remember correctly, you used her father to frame Cheng Yu?"


    "..." "Yes."


    Ma Chengfu''s heart could not help but tremble. Listening to Gongsun Hong''s words, it seemed that he had already gathered all the information he needed before he came.


    He thought that his Lishui County was enough to cover the sky with one hand, but he never thought that what he had to do would be easily pulled out by someone. When he thought about the evidence of Gongsun Hong''s phone, Ma Chengfu felt that his back was even colder.


    "Boss Ma, do you only like doing half the work?"


    Gongsun Hong sneered, the coldness in his voice was even more frigid than before.


    "Master''s meaning is ¡­" "This one doesn''t really understand ¡­"


    Ma Chengfu swallowed his saliva, his heart rising even higher.


    "That Jin Dabao should have died long ago when he was kidnapped."


    Gongsun Hong scoffed, he really raised a trash!


    "..." This humble one understands, this humble one will do it right away. "


    Ma Chengfu just realized what Gongsun Hong meant. He wanted to make this matter big, but why blame him?


    Gongsun Hong nodded. Relieved, he left the private room as if he was escaping.


    "Young master, should we finish off this disobedient dog?"


    The old man who had been hiding behind Gongsun Hong the entire time appeared. This man was not Steward Fu, but Gongsun Hong''s true confidant, Fu Zhi was Steward Fu''s brother, and was actually another father to another mother. The two brothers were at odds, but Gongsun Hong saw this and decided to pull Fu Zhi over.


    Steward Fu was one of his father''s men, so he didn''t feel at ease using him.


    "No need, this person is still quite useful."


    Gongsun Hong smiled blandly, and subconsciously, he turned the jade wrench on his thumb. Seeing this, Fu Qi knew that Gongsun Hong already had a plan, and thus kept silent.


    "..."


    After looking at the refugees along the way, Jin Weiwei had an idea. The ambition that he had at the bottom of his heart also stirred.


    Seeing Cheng Yu like this, she must have a solution, so she wouldn''t bother about superfluous things anymore.


    He still had about two thousand taels on hand. She definitely had a lot of food left in the manor, so she ¡­ Do you want to open your own grain store?


    However ¡­ Jin Weiwei chuckled, she still needed Wang Hai''s help.


    "..."


    Inside the Lishui County.


    The attendant that was serving Wang Hai immediately ran over to look for him.


    "Lord, someone wishes to pay you a visit."


    "Who?"


    Wang Hai looked up impatiently. Cheng Yu''s case had already troubled him enough, after hearing that someone had come, his first thought was that someone had come to cause trouble for him.


    "She said that her name is Jin Weiwei and that she came to resolve Master''s urgent situation."


    "Let her in."


    Wang Hai frowned, could it be that Jin Weiwei''s case had progressed?


    "Greetings, milord."


    Before Jin Weiwei came, he had even changed into a set of relatively elegant clothes. Every time she saw Wang Hai, she would always see that he did not have anything valuable on him, and even if he did, it would not attract anyone''s attention.


    Since she had something to ask of Wang Hai, she naturally had to give it up.


    "Why are you here? Is there something going on? "


    asked anxiously the moment he saw Jin Weiwei enter.


    "Nope."


    Hearing that, Wang Hai''s face immediately changed, what else could he do? Blocking him up?


    "But right now, my lord is most anxious about the price of the Lishui County rice, right?"


    "Oh? What can you do? "


    Wang Hai''s interest was piqued, he was indeed worried about the price of the Lishui County now, since he had initially wanted to use the maritime instruments to threaten the merchants, but who would have thought that there would be an order from the higher ups, stating that the Lishui County was already in imminent danger, and that he absolutely could not let anything happen to the Lishui County merchants.


    He didn''t even need to think to know who did it. Now that the new year was approaching, if he didn''t handle this matter well, it would take advantage of other people''s thoughts.


    "Master, I bought a manor some time ago and planted rice, corn, and other things that could easily live and fill my stomach. I thought that I would only get a harvest after the new year, but who knew that there was a hot spring hidden in my manor that could quickly mature the crops. The grain stored in the manor should be able to help you survive the winter."


    Jin Weiwei calculated in his heart, Yuan Bao and the others had only planted one batch, so they should be able to grow another batch after the weather turns cold. Then, she would be able to grow another batch, and should be able to grow more, and that would mean she had three batches of grains, which was more than enough for her to survive through the winter.


    "What, you want to do grain business too? You know, in Dazhan, the grain business isn''t easy. "


    Wang Hai looked at Jin Weiwei with suspicion. According to his knowledge, Jin Weiwei was only the daughter of a butcher, and had inherited his father''s ability.


    Not to mention the fact that this Big Beam was in the grain business. He had a huge background and a huge competition. If he wasn''t careful, he would be devoured without a single bone remaining.


    "The price of the rice noodle with Lishui County has risen now, if this goes on, there will probably be a riot. I believe that Master is not willing to see such a situation, could it be that Master has never thought of raising a rice noodle with Lishui County to balance the price?"


    Jin Weiwei was not sure either. The Rice Noodle Market in the Lishui County was in chaos right now, so if she were to enter now, there would be more danger.


    However, she was willing to take a chance on wealth and fortune.


    "Hmph. If it was so easy to find a balanced person, then this county wouldn''t be endlessly troubled here."


    Wang Hai snorted, he looked at Jin Weiwei like he was looking at an idiot, it was not like he did not have such a method, he even had a way to deal with Cheng Yu, but Cheng Yu refused to do it, saying that he already had a way, and wanted him to wait a little longer.


    Jin Weiwei smiled and turned a blind eye to Wang Hai''s disdain: "Sir, all of the ingredients in the Lishui County are under the control of the vice president of the Lishui County Merchant Guild, Ma Chengfu, so no one would dare to cooperate with you, but I am different. Firstly, I have the ingredients, and secondly, I am poor, and my desire to earn money is greater than anyone else''s.


    A barefooted person might not be afraid to wear shoes, but Wang Hai would definitely understand this logic.


    "Aren''t you afraid that someone will take revenge on you?"


    In this situation, why was it that no one dared to cooperate with him?


    It was because he had seen the truth that he was afraid.


    "Milord, this woman needs your aid."


    Jin Weiwei laughed, then looked towards Wang Hai and raised an eyebrow, Wang Hai squinted: Come over quickly.


    "Milord ¡­"


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei leaned towards Wang Hai and whispered a few words to him.


    After he finished listening, Wang Hai''s expression became complicated, and he looked at Jin Weiwei with regret and fear. Luckily, such an intelligent person was a woman, if he was a man, wouldn''t his entire Lishui County be a plaything in her hands?

 C170

    After discussing with Wang Hai, only then did Jin Weiwei feel truly tired. After days of exhausting herself and rushing around, she still did not get a proper rest. Once she reached home, she did not even have time to change clothes before she fell asleep.


    When Little Rich Son returned in the evening, what he saw was Jin Weiwei''s face which was full of drool from sleep.


    That handsome face instantly cracked a bit, a helpless look flashed across his face, and he pulled up Jin Weiwei''s quilt before going out.


    "Mo Feng."


    Little Rich Son''s eyes turned cold as he called out to the ceiling.


    "prince."


    A black figure descended from the beam, and stared at Little Rich Son''s figure in shock, such a familiar feeling, could it be that prince remembered something?


    "How''s the investigation going?"


    "Reporting to the prince, Ma Chengfu is the mastermind behind this Gongsun Hong. This subordinate shall watch, the reason why this Gongsun Hong came to the Lishui County, is probably not to save Cheng Yu."


    Mo Feng lowered his head. He could feel that the pressure on Little Rich Son was getting lower and lower, and he sighed in his heart. In fact, he felt that with such a small matter, Cheng Yu would definitely be able to save himself.


    "Alright, get down."


    "Yes."


    Little Rich Son turned his head to look at Jin Weiwei''s room door, his brows deeply knitted together.


    When Jin Weiwei woke up again, he was woken up by his hunger. When he saw that the sky was already dark, he sighed.


    Lying on the bed for a long time, with a stomach that couldn''t take it anymore, Jin Weiwei rolled over and crawled up, preparing to sneakily find something to eat.


    Who knew that just as she climbed to the corner of the kitchen, Little Rich Son''s room''s light was lit, following that, the door was opened, and a robust figure enveloped her.


    Jin Weiwei was subconsciously nervous, he blinked his eyes and asked: "You haven''t slept yet?"


    "Hungry?"


    "Ah?" "Right."


    Jin Weiwei was startled for a moment, then nodded her head and rubbed her stomach. There were gurgling sounds coming from inside, she was indeed hungry.


    With that, Jin Weiwei walked towards her. Her figure became smaller, and she could finally see his face clearly.


    "Where did you go during the day?"


    Jin Weiwei asked suspiciously. Today was their first day here, so she ran around everywhere but didn''t see Little Rich Son.


    "There''s porridge in the kitchen."


    Little Rich Son turned his head to look at her, and faintly smiled. Jin Weiwei pursed his lips, and avoided her question once again.


    He sat at the long table in the kitchen, eating. Sitting across from him was a person he liked.


    "I''m looking for Zhixian."


    "Don''t get involved with Cheng Yu''s matter."


    The two seemed to have agreed on something, and they matched each other''s words.


    Little Rich Son frowned. When Jin Weiwei raised her head, she was also stunned.


    "Don''t worry about Cheng Yu."


    Little Rich Son repeated himself, the coldness and worry in his eyes were even more obvious than before.


    "I don''t care about Cheng Yu''s matters. Gongsun Hong has also come, but he doesn''t make any movements, I have seen Cheng Yu before, seeing how confident he is, he must have a plan. I am looking for the Zhixun County to insert myself into the rice noodle shop."


    Jin Weiwei was a little afraid, why was this man so terrifying when he was angry?


    He felt that it was different from before.


    "No, it''s dangerous."


    Little Rich Son pursed his lips, the lines of his face becoming even more solid, giving off an irresistible majesty.


    "I am a merchant after all. If I don''t take this opportunity to intervene in the Rice Noodle Market, I will have missed out on a great opportunity. I still want to enter Lishui County''s Chamber of Commerce."


    From the moment she found out about Little Rich Son''s illness and how there was a trade union in Lishui County, she became excited, Little Rich Son''s background was definitely rich and precious, if she wanted to obtain Little Rich Son, she had to be worthy of him, so she could not be a meat seller for her entire life, right?


    "You like power that much?"


    Little Rich Son frowned. Without waiting for Jin Weiwei to speak, he said: "If you like it, I''ll give it to you.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei fiercely raised his head, opened his mouth, and did not say anything for a long time.


    "You ¡­ Did you remember something?! "


    Otherwise, why would he say such words?


    What responded was silence. Immediately, she did not have the heart to drink the porridge in front of her, so when she looked up, she saw that Little Rich Son''s eyes had become deeper and more thoughtful than before, the aura around his body became even colder, and no one dared to go near.


    His heart felt sour, his throat hurt so much that he couldn''t speak, which meant that Little Rich Son was about to leave, right?


    After saying those few words back and forth, coupled with the resentment in his heart, Jin Weiwei fiercely stood up with pursed lips and angrily said: "Whether it''s money or power, I like to earn it myself. You don''t have to bother about this matter."


    Saying that, without even looking at Little Rich Son, he went straight back to his own room.


    So what if she liked him? How could he give something like that to her as he pleased?


    So what if she took it? Who the hell did he think she was!


    A sound came from behind, waking up many of the animals in the sheepfold and pigsty. They groaned and bleated as if they were hungry.


    Little Rich Son did not get up to ask him to stay. Her brows were deeply knitted, and her thin lips slightly moved: "Mo Ba."


    "prince."


    A stomach full of anger, Mo Ba came down from the beam and knelt in front of Little Rich Son.


    "From today onwards, follow her."


    "What?"


    Mo Ba was just about to reject her offer, but when he saw Little Rich Son''s expression, he swallowed his dissatisfaction back. He was currently filled with resentment, and just now, prince was clearly afraid that Jin Weiwei would be in danger, which was why he stopped her from joining in.


    "Yes."


    "If she''s missing a single hair, don''t come back!"


    Mo Ba was alarmed. That familiar feeling returned, and he was both happy and afraid.


    "prince, where''s the Prince ¡­"


    "..." "Let''s go back in two days."


    Little Rich Son hesitated for a while, looked at Jin Weiwei''s pitch-black room and said.


    However, Mo Ba was ecstatic in his heart. Sure enough, prince remembered!


    Finally, he was about to leave this damned place. God knows, he had been holed up in this little house lately, and the rats were all over him now.


    "Yes, this subordinate will go protect Miss Kim right now."


    The happiness in Mo Ba''s heart lessened even the dissatisfaction he had towards Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei, who was in the room, waited at the door for a while, but didn''t see anyone knocking. Her mood plummeted and she wanted to cry from the grievance.


    Damn you, Little Rich Son! Didn''t he know that a girl''s anger was meant to be coaxed!


    Men are all big pig hooves, Little Rich Son is super big pig hoof!


    Jin Weiwei smashed the blanket on the bed twice! She swore to never bother with Little Rich Son again.


    "..."


    The next day, Jin Weiwei went to the Manor early in the morning. Mo Ba followed closely behind, with a few pieces of grass in his mouth that were about to rot, bleeding from his mouth.


    prince had not eaten yet, but this woman had already left. Those who stayed in the house were all men, how could cooking ever be tasty?


    Jin Weiwei kept looking back. Why did she feel like she was being followed?


    Mo Ba immediately pulled back, and patted his chest, feeling a burst of lingering fear. It was so close, he was almost discovered, this woman was really sensitive.

 C171

    "Pearl Jadeite, take me to the warehouse to look at the supplies."


    Along the way, Jin Weiwei saw the servants who he bought were all working in the fields. Looking from afar, it should be that the rice had ripened again, with such a speed, there should not be a need to worry about the food that would be sold until the new year.


    Furthermore, she still had the rice noodle soup that she had bought earlier. Although she had set up a porridge rack and was preparing the porridge, she still would not use it up so quickly, right?


    "Yes, ma''am."


    Jin Weiwei was startled, the last time she came, the two girls called her master, how did she become a lady?


    "..." Fine, I originally wanted to correct her, but whatever. In the eyes of others, she had already married into a woman. She really couldn''t care less about how they called her.


    Arriving at the warehouse, Mo Ba could not help but take a deep breath, and sighed inwardly, this woman really knew how to stash food!


    Jin Weiwei was also shocked speechless by the warehouse in front of him. Two-thirds of the entire warehouse was filled with food.


    "Didn''t you guys just plant it twice? Why are there so many? "


    Madam, you don''t know that ever since Chief Steward Yuan Bao asked us to use the water in the spring to water our crops, the yield per mu has been two to three times higher than that of an average household.


    "That''s right, that spring water is really amazing. Not only is the grain size full, the taste is even better than normal grains. I wonder how the previous owner was willing to sell this manor."


    The two girls'' mouths opened and closed, lifting Jin Weiwei''s heart up. She didn''t think that the water in the space would have such a good effect.


    Luckily, she didn''t continue releasing it. Otherwise, they would have treated her like a monster.


    "Alright, let me take a look at the warehouse ledger."


    Jade Pearl nodded. Recently, they were also tired, but not as tired as those men. They only cared about entering and leaving the storehouse, as well as the food of these men.


    The more he flipped through the pages, the happier she got. Just from these two rounds of production, there was actually 12,000 catty of rice, 20,000 catties of potatoes, 10,000 catties of sweet potatoes, 3000 catties of corn.


    Although each mu could not compare to the output of her previous life, it was still better than the output of ancient times. Moreover, she had matured in advance, so she had earned quite a bit.


    When the ingots come back, tell him that he won''t need to grow any food. Other than the twenty acres of fertile land, the rest are all planted with the two herbs Qing Zhi and Chang Shan.


    Jin Weiwei ordered again, ever since she had returned to the Lishui County, there had always been an uneasy feeling lingering in her heart.


    The first thing she saw was the situation of the Lishui County refugees. If this continued, more and more people would die, and infectious diseases would become inevitable.


    ''s heart was pounding hard. Last night, Little Rich Son did not say anything, was he really going to leave?


    "Yes, ma''am, what else?"


    Pearl Jadeite looked at each other. They seemed to see that Madam had something troubling her. What should they do?


    "No, after all this work, I''ll give you guys a bonus for the new year."


    Jin Weiwei came back to reality and smiled at the two of them, revealing his small canine teeth that looked somewhat bitter.


    When the two of them heard that there was a reward, they beamed with joy. It was great to follow such a boss.


    Jin Weiwei nodded, then went to the door and sat on the carriage and left.


    Mo Ba sighed as he secretly followed her. He felt that this woman was too tormenting, even the prince would not suffer so much.


    Jin Weiwei returned to the butcher''s shop, and asked Tao Xiaoqing as soon as he entered: "Xiaoqing, have you sent all the sausages to the Zhou Manager?"


    "Boss, I''ve already sent it. Hey, boss, I saw that there was some paper pasted on the official forum that seemed to be there to support small traders. Do you want to take a look?"


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s eyes instantly lit up, he did not expect Wang Hai to actually take it out so quickly, fast enough.


    "Mm, you take a good look at the shop."


    Now that she had completely handed over the Jin Meat Shop to Tao Xiaoqing, coupled with the fact that there were still two servants in the butcher''s shop, she was even more unoccupied.


    From the looks of it, she could be considered a rich woman!


    He had enough money on hand to buy several mansions.


    When he thought about how happy he was, Jin Weiwei didn''t even think before taking the papers.


    This was what she discussed with Wang Hai. She wanted him to come up with a strategy to support the Rice Noodle Merchant. Since Ma Chengfu was the leader of the group, no one would dare to do it, and she was the only one.


    In the restaurant across the official''s fence.


    Ma Chengfu''s originally complacent expression changed the moment Jin Weiwei took out the papers.


    He put away the folding fan in his hand, and his triangular eyes were overflowing with coldness.


    Isn''t Jin Weiwei just a meat seller?


    Why would he be interested in the Rice Noodle Roll? Could it be the chess piece Wang Hai used to hinder them?


    Heh, that would still be stupid, with just Jin Weiwei? Firstly, there was no origin and secondly, there were no connections. With just Wang Hai, it would be good enough for food to come out with such Lishui County!


    "Go, find Jin Dabao, kill him, clean up!"


    He originally wanted Jin Weiwei to roam free for two days, but now, it looked like there was no need!


    "Master... With such an unexpected turn of events, should we inform Young Master Gongsun? "


    Beside Ma Chengfu was his old housekeeper for many years, Ma De. He had done many bad things with Ma Chengfu.


    "..." This is what Gongsun Hong told me to do as well.


    "But ¡­" Master, what Young Master Gongsun has his eyes on is this Rice Noodle shop''s business. "


    Ma De looked down. He heard that the Imperial Court''s relief food was coming soon, so Gongsun Hong''s goal was to get the relief food.


    "..." Alright, find someone to tell Gongsun Hong. "


    Just thinking of Gongsun Hong''s cold eyes, Ma Chengfu could not help but shiver. Waving his hand, he told Ma De to do it.


    Ma De nodded and quickly left the private room.


    "..."


    "Young master, Ma Chengfu sent someone to say that Wang Hai was the only one who took out the document to support the small trader."


    A man and a wheelchair sat by the window of the restaurant, the attendant''s gaze was tightly locked on the messenger.


    After hearing that Jin Weiwei had taken the papers off, he revealed a meaningful smile: "At this time, Wang Hai is still in the mood to support the small trader? If you were in Kaixian, would you have had the leisure to do so? "


    Fu Qi lowered his head and didn''t say anything. Gongsun Hong let out a soft laugh, which was suffused with a faint trace of coldness.


    "Presumably, Wang Hai and Cheng Yu have other plans, and I need Ma Chengfu''s people to not touch Jin Dabao first, I want to see what Cheng Yu wants to do."


    He hadn''t made any movements for so long, it was impossible for Cheng Yu to not have made any movements. Back then, he had used a great deal of energy to scheme against Cheng Yu, and with a slight raise of his eyebrows, he had finally met such an opponent.


    "Yes."


    "..."


    Furthermore, when Jin Weiwei entered the county magistrate, Wang Hai stroked his beard, with appreciation for Jin Weiwei hidden in his eyes. He had thought about it last night, and quickly understood what Jin Weiwei meant.

 C172

    He''s a talent, what a pity ¡­


    Wang Hai shook his head.


    "What are you going to do next?"


    "Sir, I want the best shop in Evergreen Street."


    Jin Weiwei laughed, but Wang Hai was stunned, Evergreen Street was Ma Chengfu''s territory, would he not be afraid of being destroyed if he went?


    He thought that Jin Weiwei would like to go to Chang Ning Street. After all, under Cheng Yu''s protection, Jin Weiwei would be fine.


    "Are you sure?"


    Wang Hai asked in disbelief. Unexpectedly, Jin Weiwei actually nodded: "I want that place, this kind of thing will always be compared with other similar items before I can see if it''s good or bad, right?"


    Wang Hai only wanted to solve the problem at hand, and she wanted to be able to hold her foothold in this industry. If she could not even win against those people, how could she continue to live in this industry?


    "Don''t you want to mediate the price of the Lishui County? It just so happens to be the same road.


    Jin Weiwei smiled. In her previous life, she was selling for a large company, so even if she did not have much money, she had seen a lot of people cheating in this shopping mall.


    "You thought of everything when you came to find me?"


    The appreciation in her eyes caused Jin Weiwei to be somewhat surprised. One must know that she had not interacted with Wang Hai many times, but she also knew that he was a rather pedantic person who abided by etiquette rules.


    "Yes. If you, as my lord''s chess piece, don''t even have this bit of courage, how would my lord dare to use me?"


    "Sure enough, I''m not wrong about you. Although you''re a girl, you''re comparable to a man. What a pity ¡­"


    Seeing that Wang Hai was about to start sighing again, Jin Weiwei frowned slightly. He sighed helplessly at the bottom of his heart and then started again ¡­


    "If so, please allow me to follow you to the shop."


    Jin Weiwei was both expectant and excited, he had no idea what kind of whirlpool he had gotten himself into.


    Wang Hai nodded his head, since the shop was owned by Jin Weiwei, he should at least look at it properly.


    Wang Hai''s actions were very fast, and in the afternoon, he found three stores for Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei picked the closest shop to the Ma Clan''s Rice Noodle shop. The shop''s front was three stories high, so it was suitable for setting up a restaurant.


    Because of this shop, even though Wang Hai gave her a lot of money, she still spent around a thousand silvers to decorate and buy the foundation.


    Jin Weiwei could not help but sigh in his heart. In this kind of county that was not too big, if they went to a place like the capital where every inch of land was worth a thousand silvers, would they only be able to buy a thatched cottage?


    Ma''s Rice Noodle Stick.


    "Master, you said that Jin Weiwei came all the way here to buy rice noodles, aren''t you afraid that you will take care of her? "In my opinion, she is just relying on her backing to provoke the lord''s dignity."


    "Hmph, do you think Jin Weiwei is stupid! If anything were to happen to her, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that it was me! "


    said in a bad mood, the two whiskers at the corner of his mouth puckered up, with one look, he was not lightly angered. He truly could not understand, since Jin Weiwei, Cheng Yu and the others were enemies, why did Sir Gongsun want to let them go?


    "Old master, just because we can''t do it, doesn''t mean that others can''t?"


    Ma De sneered, his gloomy eyes looking at the new storefront that was still a little desolate.


    "Who''s going to do it?"


    "Isn''t there someone under Master that is related to Jin Weiwei? It is said that his cousin Jiang Qingshou was actually lost to Jin Weiwei. This humble one has also heard that Jiang Qingfu even made Jiang Qingshou''s wife into an outer room, from a main house to an outside room. Who do you think wouldn''t hate him? "


    Ma De sinisterly said.


    When Jin Weiwei was about to open the Rice Noodle Roll, he had already investigated everything that happened to Jin Weiwei. This was the reason why he was able to stay by Ma Chengfu''s side for so many years.


    "Haha ¡­" Old Ma, after so many years, you took advantage of my feelings the most, and took the time to remind me of that Jiang Qingfu. "


    He had some impression of this person. This person could be considered to be obedient when he worked beside him. He could also be considered a trusted aide.


    "Yes."


    "..."


    On the way back, Jin Weiwei had been feeling sorry for the thousand silver that had flowed out. Unexpectedly, the moment she arrived at her house, she saw a bumpkin carriage stop in front of her house.


    Walking closer, Jin Weiwei clicked her tongue. She was truly ashamed for the owner of the carriage.


    Pushing the door, Jin Weiwei felt excited. Her biological father, Jin Dabao, who would never return home once he had the money, had finally came back and was acting like a dog serving a dressed woman.


    Focusing and looking, Jin Weiwei was shocked, wasn''t that her second aunt?


    He was even dressed like a fireworks woman, and when Jin Xiaodia looked at her, his expression immediately changed, "Yo, Weiwei is back? It''s been a really long time. You''ve become more beautiful now. "


    Jin Weiwei pursed his lips. Since he did not want to say anything good to her, what use was there in feigning such a thing?


    "Hurry up and pour your second aunt a cup of water!"


    Jin Dabao, who had been patting Jin Xiaodia''s shoulder the entire time, roared when he saw Jin Weiwei standing there in a daze.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei rolled his eyes, went to the kitchen, poured a cup of water, and placed it in front of Jin Xiaodia.


    Seeing Jin Weiwei''s unwilling look, Jin Xiaodia felt really good in her heart. This Jin Weiwei had often failed her, but now, she was going to take revenge.


    "Ah!" "Hiss!"


    He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he did not notice the cup of scalding water in his hand. Just as Jin Weiwei wanted to remind him, who knew that Jin Xiaodia would be scalded to the point of jumping and even shattering the teacup.


    Jin Weiwei shrugged her shoulders. Who asked you to drink so fast, she wanted to remind her.


    "Jin Weiwei! You did it on purpose! Jin Dabao! How did you educate your daughter? Is that how you teach her how to be disrespectful to an elder!? "


    Jin Xiaodia wanted to go up and tear off Jin Weiwei''s complacent face, but she had someone by her side waiting on her. If the scene where she lost control of herself was heard by Jiang Qingfu, then the person she created would have collapsed.


    "I wanted to remind Second Aunt, but Second Aunt drank too fast. I didn''t have enough time."


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t hold back his laughter. It was just that Jin Xiaodia''s current appearance was too comical.


    "Jin Weiwei! Apologize to your second aunt already! You''re so uncultured! "


    Jin Dabao roared as his eyes widened, and he could not help but let out a cold snort: "Jin Dabao, how much benefits did she give you? Is there anyone who would help an outsider like you and not help their own daughter? "


    Jin Weiwei was not afraid of Jin Dabao at all, he had only taken the money that he spent from her.


    Jin Dabao was embarrassed, he blinked his eyes and was unable to say anything.


    When Jin Xiaodia saw Jin Dabao like this, the dismal in his heart grew even stronger. How could she have such a good-for-nothing little brother!


    "Jin Dabao, you are her father! It''s fine if she didn''t call you father, but to go against you is the crime of being unfilial! You still haven''t taken care of her! "


    Hearing this, Jin Dabao gathered his courage, raised his head and glared at Jin Weiwei, "Evil creature, why aren''t you apologizing to your second aunt!"


    Seeing Jin Dabao raise his hand as if he was going to hit her, Jin Weiwei''s eyes hardened. "You dare!?"

 C173

    Jin Dabao stopped and retreated two steps. He raised his hand and put it down, that was no longer a slap, it continued to maintain a comical look, causing the servant who came with Jin Xiaodia to laugh.


    "Jin Xiaodia, I am not free to talk nonsense with you. If you have something to say, then speak.


    She did not have the time to bother with this crazy woman!


    "Jin Weiwei! Hmph, I came here to tell you that you can''t stay in the Lishui County for more than two days, so what if I get abandoned by Jiang Qingshou?


    After Jin Xiaodia finished speaking, he looked at Jin Weiwei''s expression, and noticed that there was not the slightest bit of jealousy on his face, causing Jin Xiaodia to become somewhat flustered and exasperated.


    "Jin Weiwei, don''t be so shameless!"


    "Ha!" In the end, who was the one who was shameless? I''m afraid only you know what your life is like today! If you don''t want me to take care of you, get the hell out of here! "


    There were no outsiders here, she did not need to feign weakness, what she hated the most was a woman who thought so highly of herself, Jin Xiaodia!


    Mo Ba, who was squatting on the beam, sighed. He was starting to pity Jin Weiwei a little now.


    "You! "You!"


    "You what? If you don''t go out, I will make Little Rich Son throw you out!"


    Seeing Jin Xiaodia staring at her, Jin Weiwei lifted her skirt and stepped on the table with one foot. Her almond-shaped eyes were opened wider than Jin Xiaodia''s, giving her an imposing manner.


    "Humph!" Just you wait! "


    Jin Xiaodia clenched his fists until they creaked, ignoring the people around him, he flung his sleeves and left.


    Seeing that the person had left, Jin Weiwei then retracted his leg. Seeing Jin Dabao''s pitiful look, he could not help but snort: "Do you like it? Then you should go with second aunt! "


    Her mood today was not bad, now it could be considered that she was having trouble, this Jin Dabao was still causing her trouble!


    "What are you saying!?" Your second aunt is an elder and you are a junior. Shouldn''t you respect her? "


    Jin Dabao touched the silver ingot in his hand with a face full of pity. If he had tried to please Jin Xiaodia just now, he might have gotten even more silver.


    "Humph!"


    Jin Weiwei didn''t want to waste any time talking to him, so she went around Jin Dabao and returned to her own room.


    She had to keep the Rice Noodle Roll''s land deed properly. Jin Dabao had brought Jin Xiaodia here today with ease, she didn''t know what to do next time.


    Sigh ¡­


    Jin Weiwei sighed for herself. Why did she have such a father?


    He had initially thought that Jin Weiwei was one of those kind of pretentious women, but he never thought that she was so pitiful, and also so generous, that she was even comparable to a man.


    He finally understood why the county magistrate admired Jin Weiwei.


    The next day, early in the morning, Jin Weiwei was just about to go and see how the decorations were going, but he received a message from Wang Hai, saying that he wanted to see her.


    Jin Weiwei thought about Gongsun Hong strangely. This person had been here for four or five days already, but he did not do anything, and even said that Cheng Yu had helped him.


    He was wondering what Little Jiu Jiu Jiu was really thinking!


    Cheng Yu was still recuperating from his illness, and it had been almost a month since the kidnapping of Jin Dabao. In his current Lishui County, there were refugees on the outside, and the Rice Noodle Merchant had raised the price of the rice noodles.


    "Young Master Cheng, I see that you are almost recovered. If you continue acting, after Master Wang''s matter is settled, it will be difficult for you to come out."


    Jin Weiwei teased, she really did not know what Cheng Yu was thinking, but recently she realised, the restaurant in the main house was handed over to Cheng Yuan, and their business was a little shady, so logically speaking, Cheng Yuan should have made a move on her.


    But now, he still hadn''t moved. This made her feel a little strange.


    Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu only chuckled. "Looks like you''re very concerned."


    Jin Weiwei could not help but hold his forehead: "You can laugh at a time like this, as long as it was Cheng Yuan who did this, you would definitely have a way to get out."


    She only wanted to say that someone like Cheng Yuan is not worth your protection, as an outsider she could see that Old Master Cheng would not be able to compare to Cheng Yuan no matter how much he likes Cheng Yu.


    "I did come out, but I''m afraid that it will be detrimental to you if I go out. I heard that you were going to open a rice noodle shop, and even reached an agreement with the county lord. If I go out now, all that you''ve done will be for naught."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei could only laugh helplessly, this was probably because she did not like Cheng Yu a little, seeing people too clearly, it was also dangerous to be friends.


    "Don''t tell me you didn''t expect what happened today."


    "Of course I expected it. I was too tired, and having a family property, to me, there is no difference whether I want it or not."


    Cheng Yu was now much more carefree and depressed, he sighed and said: "Why did you look for me? It can''t be that you want me to listen to you grieve over the passing of time, right? "


    No matter how much of a merchant Cheng Yu was, how could the ambition of a merchant disappear so easily?


    "Of course not, do you know Gongsun Hong?"


    Hearing that, Cheng Yu laughed helplessly, the lady in front of him, was about to get paid.


    "Of course I know, I''m also curious as to his motive for coming to Lishui County, or perhaps, what motive do you have for him coming to Lishui County?"


    She had seen clearly that Cheng Yu was the same type of person as Gongsun Hong, and would definitely not do something without reason. It''s just that she had almost lost her life this time, and she still felt a little resentful towards Cheng Yu.


    "Him? "I''m afraid it''s someone who has brought the county''s official road to its end."


    Cheng Yu sneered, then said: "You have to be careful, the relationship between this Ma Chengfu and Gongsun Hong is not simple, the number of people who want to plot against you is not small, in the end, I have let you down and stirred up a pool of muddy water."


    "If I say that this muddy water will bring me benefits, and that there is a possibility of me entering the Lishui County Chamber of Commerce, would you believe me?"


    Cheng Yu was startled, seeing Jin Weiwei''s confident smile, he laughed along: "Trust, if you want to do something, how can you not succeed?"


    "So the reason you called me here today, is because you want me to be careful of Ma Chengfu and Gongsun Hong?"


    Jin Weiwei asked again, why did she feel that this wasn''t what Cheng Yu wanted to remind him of?


    "..." "Just be careful. Since you''re in the Zhixian faction now, you should try your best to protect Zhixian. Otherwise, if he''s finished, you''re finished too."


    A few words confused Jin Weiwei. What would happen in Zhixian?


    She was just a simple peddler, how could she help the county?


    He raised his eyes to look at Cheng Yu, wanting to voice out the doubt in his heart, but Cheng Yu instead said: "Just remember my words, don''t ask anymore. It''s getting late, you go back first."


    Jin Weiwei nodded, and thought about what Cheng Yu had said. She was still too young, she did not have much time to walk around the market, so she did not understand what Cheng Yu meant.


    Forget it, since she couldn''t figure it out, she shouldn''t think about it.

 C174

    Due to her and Wang Hai''s anxiousness, the first floor of the shop was almost completely renovated. There were also the second and third floors that were not.


    Jin Weiwei was thinking about everything as she wandered around. She couldn''t possibly sell rice noodles here and there, right?


    Jin Weiwei sat at the corridor and thought for a long time, looking out the window at a grain and oil shop ¡­


    That''s right!


    Jin Weiwei stood up abruptly. She could sell rice noodles on the first floor, grain oil on the second floor, and use the third floor as storage. That would be perfect!


    This place was mostly oil made from pig fat, so it tasted delicious but was expensive. Most people couldn''t afford to eat it, but she had never seen oil made from plants before. It might be a business opportunity.


    She had to see if there were any plants like rapeseed. Vegetable oil could also be divided into many types. Rice could be made more expensive, while rapeseed could be made cheaper.


    Right, she still needed to customize the oil extracting machines. She didn''t know if there were any, but she would go to the Wonder House first to take a look. At this time, the countries in the ocean should have the technology to extract oil.


    Jin Weiwei was definitely not one to delay, he immediately went downstairs and rushed to Wonder House.


    "Aiyo, Madame Jin, why are you here? Are you looking for the shopkeeper? "Unfortunately, the shopkeeper isn''t here."


    Knowing that Jin Weiwei was cooperating with the Zhou Manager, the waiter treated her more warmly than their usual customers.


    Jin Weiwei waved his hand when he heard this, and said: "I''m not here to look for Zhou Manager today, I''m here to buy things."


    "Oh? Madame Jin, what do you want to buy? This Wonder House is not many, just a few rare things. "


    Hearing that Jin Weiwei was here to buy something, the waiter immediately changed patterns, which made Jin Weiwei speechless.


    "I want the kind of machine that can squeeze oil, do I?"


    Jin Weiwei frowned. He looked forward to it, but he suppressed it, afraid that he would be disappointed.


    "Extruding oil ¡­" The waiter frowned and looked around the room. Suddenly, his eyebrows relaxed.


    Previously, our Young Master went overseas and brought four sets. He used one and gave one to the storekeeper, and the other two were for sale. Unfortunately, no one knew what they were selling, so the storekeeper left them in the storehouse.


    This time, Jin Weiwei couldn''t hide his excitement anymore. He had always wanted to give it a try, but he didn''t think that there would actually be one that didn''t run away in vain.


    When the waiter came to the deepest part of the warehouse and lit up the lamp, Jin Weiwei saw a machine covered in dust. It seemed that it was really as the waiter had said, no one knew what was what it was, and the machine had been kept for a long time.


    "I don''t know if we can still use it. Since no one bought it, we haven''t had the chance to repair it."


    The waiter frowned, as if he was regretting it. If he knew someone wanted it, he would have let them take good care of it.


    The machine was not big, it was about half the height of a person, with a large funnel above it. The bottom of the funnel revealed a concave path, which was somewhat similar to a modern oil refiner, and when one looked at the back, they would see that it was different from the modern ones, it was manual.


    After all, there was no electricity in this world.


    "Are there any raw peanuts in the shop?"


    Jin Weiwei asked, the waiter immediately nodded, and could not help but give Jin Weiwei two extra glances, a lot of people would not use this, he was only able to use it after learning from the Zhou Manager, and shopkeeper said that good people indeed had their strengths.


    She remembered that this kind of oil pump was always hot, so she didn''t know if she should heat it up ¡­


    Jin Weiwei''s attention was completely focused on the oil pump, until the waiter came over with a bowl of raw peanuts.


    Jin Weiwei took the peanuts and wiped the funnel. He directly poured the peanuts inside and started moving around the wrench.


    After a while, a few drops of oil fell. Jin Weiwei and the waiter were surprised, it seemed that the machine was not broken.


    "How much is this machine? Ask your shopkeeper if he can let me into a few. "


    With this, how could she worry about earning money?


    "Then how much do you want Madame Jin? "The Little Lord has not entered. If he doesn''t enter, I''m afraid he won''t be able to."


    The waiter had a troubled expression on his face. He vaguely remembered the Young Master''s bitter face, saying that if no one wanted a lot of this, then they shouldn''t enter. Because of this, the Young Master was even scolded by the boss.


    "Tell me how much this machine costs before I know how much I need."


    Jin Weiwei did not know whether to laugh or cry.


    "Ah, sorry, sorry, look at my memory, here''s twenty taels each."


    Jin Weiwei raised his eyebrows and paused for two seconds.


    Jin Weiwei counted in his heart: 10,000 silver each. He bit his lips, she doesn''t have much money left ¡­


    "Madame Jin, how about I call the shopkeeper over and you guys discuss it?"


    The waiter coughed and secretly wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to call out such a high price!


    It wasn''t easy for someone to come to their door and buy a machine, yet they still had such a cheap mouth!


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up, meaning that he could cut the price!


    With two light coughs, Jin Weiwei''s smile became incomparably brilliant, "I wonder when your shopkeeper will return?"


    "Today, Zhou Manager went to Yunhai County. I''m afraid I won''t be able to come back. As soon as the shopkeeper comes back, I''ll go inform you, how about it?"


    Jin Weiwei frowned, the discontent in her heart was about to spill out, but she knew that she had to do business too, there was nothing she could do.


    He nodded his head and said: "Alright, first, bring this machine to the three-storey building that is currently being renovated opposite the Ma family''s Mimi Restaurant on Evergreen Street. If anyone asks, tell them that it''s for Jin Weiwei with Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop."


    The waiter quickly nodded, wishing he could immediately send this machine to the right place.


    Ever since no one had set their eyes on this, the Young Master had to complain about it every time he came back, and both he and the Zhou Manager had calluses growing in their ears. If the Young Master knew that it was sold, who knows how he would be happy.


    In this case, when Jin Xiaodia angrily returned to the courtyard he prepared for her, she had sent someone to look for Jiang Qingfu, but was told that Jiang Qingfu had gone out to do business, not bothering about her.


    Jin Xiaodia''s chest was about to explode from the anger, what kind of tone did the servant have? Now, even a servant dared to act arrogantly in front of her!


    Jin Xiaodia was so angry that he wanted to smash the blue and white porcelain bottle in the room. Unexpectedly, the servant said in a weird tone, "This is the best blue and white porcelain that the master bought for you.


    Jin Xiaodia choked and put it back, and the servant looked at her with even more contempt, as expected, it was not something good, I really do not know how the lord took a fancy to it!


    "..." Kneel outside! If the old master doesn''t come, there''s no need for you to get up! "


    Previously, she was worried that Jiang Qingfu was the one to give the servant to her, but now, Jin Xiaodia was enraged, she had never seen a servant as impudent as her before!


    "Madam, this Madame of the Jiang Residence is gentle and dignified. She has never carelessly punished a servant, so why does she have to kneel before you?"

 C175

    This maidservant was originally from the Jiang Residence. Jiang Qingfu thought that she was one of his men but who knew that it was actually sent by Lady Jiang.


    All these years, Jiang Qingfu had been out with many women. If she were to manage them one by one, wouldn''t she be tired to death as long as Jiang Qingfu was thinking of her own son?


    Lady Jiang''s heart was clear as she did not report any extravagant hopes to Jiang Qingfu.


    She more or less had someone planted beside every woman. If there was someone who was restless, she would not be soft-hearted.


    And this servant, looked down on Jin Xiaodia.


    "You are my servant, if you disobey, you will be punished. The same goes for the old master!"


    Jin Xiaodia angrily slammed the table, showing off the look of a boss lady.


    "Madam, this servant was sent out by the Jiang manor to serve Madam. Don''t you think what the master would think of you if anything happened to me? Would he guess that you''re an arrogant and despotic person?"


    She was almost certain that Jin Xiaodia did not dare to touch her.


    "You! Get out! "


    Jin Xiaodia became angry, pointed to the outside and said.


    "Don''t try to bully me just because you''re from the Jiang manor. I''m not the righteous type, but my life is miserable. What can I do? Sniff, sniff ¡­"


    Jin Xiaodia suddenly became weak, crying until there were tears flowing down her cheeks. The servant girl was confused, why did this woman look like she was flipping a book?


    "How dare you!"


    In the next second, a strong voice sounded from behind her. She was extremely familiar with this voice.


    He then turned around and knelt down, "This servant greets the lord!"


    She might be powerful in front of a woman like Jin Xiaodia, but she did not dare to offend the old master.


    Unexpectedly, a palm fell on her, causing her to see stars.


    Jin Xiaodia was secretly delighted on the side, and immediately hung her "soft and lifeless" body up, her bright and beautiful face seemed to be even more wronged.


    "Qing Fu, I think it''s better if I leave. A maid is saying that my name is unfair. For the sake of your reputation, let me go."


    Jiang Qingfu slightly frowned, his gaze lowered as he looked at the servant girl, and coldly said: "Drag him down and reprimand him twenty."


    "Master, please don''t!"


    The maid panicked. In these 20 minutes, even if she didn''t die, she would still be crippled.


    "Drag him away."


    At the same time that Jin Xiaodia was secretly happy, he was also a little afraid in his heart. Back then, Jiang Qingfu was still an elegant, young man, but now, she had become a little ruthless.


    "Xiaodia, why do you say such things? Didn''t I say it already? I don''t want to be wronged by you, I am currently looking for an opportunity to talk to that person at home. "


    "..." If that''s the case, that''s good, hubby, please don''t make me wait too long. "


    Jin Xiaodia took the opportunity to lean into Jiang Qingfu''s embrace, but didn''t notice that in the instant she called out for hubby, Jiang Qingfu had a disgusted expression.


    "I heard that you suffered, speak out, and hubby will help you vent your anger."


    Hearing that, Jin Xiaodia became happy, raised his head, looked at Jiang Qingfu, and said: "Today, when I went back home to visit my family, my little brother, who would have thought that my niece would be disrespectful to me? I was dissatisfied, and so I brought up your name, who knows what she said, and how many Lishui County s there are!"


    Jiang Qingfu frowned, he had just received the mission from Ma Chengfu this morning, to cause trouble when Jin Weiwei''s Rice Noodle Roll was open, didn''t he think that Jin Weiwei was Jin Xiaodia''s niece?


    She wanted to find out more about Jin Xiaodia, but who would have thought that Jin Xiaodia would do something so outrageous.


    But in the end, Jiang Qingfu did not reveal it, he just secretly decided that it would be fine if he could play with this kind of woman, he could definitely not bring her back.


    "So it''s like that. Then Xiaodia, tell me, what is this Jin Weiwei like, or her weakness? I''ll help you teach her a lesson."


    Jin Xiaodia nodded, and hurriedly wiped away two more tears that did not exist, and said: "Jin Weiwei was originally a fool ¡­"


    In the two hours that he listened to Jin Xiaodia, Jiang Qingfu realized that this Jin Weiwei probably had some tricks up his sleeves. He could even defeat a villain like Jiang Qingshou, and now he had even climbed onto the county''s Wang Hai.


    It was actually quite frightening.


    "Alright, I''ll head back first. If you need anything, just let the servants handle it. I''ve some matters that I''m afraid I can''t do anything to see you about."


    "Ah?" It''s not even dark yet, why are you leaving? "


    Jin Xiaodia bit her lips, as if she couldn''t bear to part with him. It was not easy for Jiang Qingfu to come here, and if she could not grasp onto Jiang Qingfu''s heart, then she would not be able to do it.


    "The merchant that I worked with recently came over. I can''t possibly not accompany him. Be a good girl and I''ll be leaving now."


    Jiang Qingfu said the last few words in a perfunctory manner. He had already achieved his goal and did not want to be with a foolish woman anymore.


    Jin Xiaodia nodded helplessly, but he was thinking of how to keep Jiang Qingfu around next time.


    "..."


    It had been two days since Jin Weiwei last saw Little Rich Son, and he couldn''t help but feel resentment in his heart. So as expected, after knowing his identity, he would view her with contempt?


    Damn man!


    Pushing the door open, the careless her smashed into a pair of warm and solid chest. Jin Weiwei pressed his forehead, since when did her big door set up a wall?


    Lifting her eyes, she saw that someone was looking down at her, causing Jin Weiwei''s face to turn ugly. What did a straight face mean, she had not even asked him where he was fooling around!


    "Where did he go?"


    "Can you?"


    Jin Weiwei pushed him away and walked inside. The pigs by her side were whining, making her so frustrated that her head was about to explode.


    "Weiwei."


    Such a repressed and coquettish voice made Jin Weiwei''s heart go numb. He couldn''t move anymore, he clearly knew that she had no resistance towards his two words, yet she still insisted on doing this. Since she was going to leave, why did she need to be provoked?


    "¡­"


    Jin Weiwei opened his mouth, but found himself unable to say anything.


    "I''m going away for a few days."


    However, she would rather be like a radio with a tape stuck in it. Little Rich Son didn''t say anything, and she also didn''t hear anything.


    "..." "Right."


    Swallowing a mouthful of pain, Jin Weiwei felt the heat in his eyes and hurriedly left Little Rich Son. He returned to his room and closed the door with a "pa" sound.


    What do you mean leave for a few days, leave then don''t come back? In modern times, isn''t it hard for many boys to say that to girls?


    However, they would usually just leave and never come back.


    Did he take her for a fool?


    It was already like this in the modern world, what''s more in the ancient times, he was still a prince, he could get whatever kind of beautiful woman he wanted, she was just a country girl!


    "Weiwei."


    Knock knock knock knock. Jin Weiwei raised her head and a vague outline appeared in front of her. It looked so close but so far away.


    "Wait for me, I''ll be back."


    "..." "Go ahead."


    Jin Weiwei sneezed, trying his best to suppress his sobs. When she got more money in the future, she would definitely raise her own face, how could she be worse than the man in front of her?


    Even though he wanted to, he still felt a little reluctant. After all, the two of them had lived for so long.

 C176

    After waiting for a while, seeing that there were no movements outside the door, Jin Weiwei could not help but to push open the door, but realised that there was nothing there.


    Jin Weiwei frowned, let''s go! He left and never came back!


    Mo Ba looked at the scene in front of him and clicked his tongue. Seeing Jin Weiwei''s appearance, caused him to feel a little sad.


    Pui!


    His family''s prince was very good, the words he said would definitely come true. If not for the fact that he was afraid that Jin Weiwei would discover him, he would have long jumped down to argue with Jin Weiwei!


    Suddenly, there was something hot on her face, Jin Weiwei wiped it away, and her hands became wet, only then did she realize, and started crying.


    What was there to cry about!


    Jin Weiwei thought in frustration.


    "Madame Jin? Is Madame Jin home? "


    Jin Weiwei''s heart was still aching, and coincidentally, a familiar voice came from outside the door.


    He quickly wiped away the tears on his face and ran to open the door, discovering Wonder House''s waiter.


    Jin Weiwei immediately smiled: "Did your shopkeeper come back?"


    "That''s right. The shopkeeper is asking his wife to come over and have a chat with him."


    Jin Weiwei nodded his head, thinking that he had just cried, his eyes might be a little swollen, it would be impolite to go see someone like that, so he said: "I will trouble you to go back first, I will be back shortly."


    The waiter nodded his head and wiped the sweat off his forehead: "Madame Jin, you should not be short on money right now, I suggest you to buy a house in the city, in the future if you do a big business here, it would be convenient to receive guests and it would also be safe. Although this place is close to the outskirts of the county, there are many refugees nearby, so it isn''t safe.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei frowned, but just as she wanted to say something, the waiter had already left. Jin Weiwei smacked her head in annoyance, her brain had been eaten by a pig today, she did not even know to invite someone in to take a seat.


    However, the waiter''s words made some sense. This was the outskirts of the city, and if she were to expand her business in the future, it would definitely be inconvenient. It seemed that she needed to change to a bigger house.


    After dressing up and making sure that he could not see the redness and swelling in his eyes, Jin Weiwei got up.


    "Go for it!"


    She tried to cheer herself up in the mirror, knowing what she was going to face next.


    However, if she did not leave now, she might forever be a village girl selling her meat.


    Come on! She, Jin Weiwei, was not afraid of all the storm clouds and torrential rain.


    Jin Weiwei liked to hire horse carriages more and more. Firstly, it was because he did not lack money, and secondly, she had to cultivate her rich and powerful abilities. Pui! Wealthy temperament.


    This way, she would be able to intimidate others when her business expanded in the future.


    "Madame Jin, long time no see. Your complexion is getting better."


    Zhou Manager smiled. His face was full of vicissitudes and vicissitudes, just like the chrysanthemum that was blooming.


    Jin Weiwei frowned, his mouth turning stiff, he knew that people were speaking nonsense, what the hell were they saying?


    Her eyes were already so red, and her complexion was getting better and better. She was happy to see her buy what had been there for a long time.


    "Isn''t it the same for the Zhou Manager? They are becoming more heroic."


    Who wouldn''t know how to lie?


    "Aiya, Madame Jin is being too polite, please come in, quickly come in."


    The machine had been in the warehouse for two to three years already, and no one had used it. No matter how good the Young Master''s propaganda was, no one would buy it, they would rather buy a machine that was squeezed out manually.


    This was great, if he told the Little Boss that the item was sold, the Little Boss would definitely be extremely happy.


    "If you are a straightforward person, let''s not beat around the bush. Zhou Manager should know why I''m looking for you, right?"


    "Yes, from what the waiter said, you want to buy that machine? May I ask if this is true? "


    "Of course it''s true. When did my words ever become false?"


    Jin Weiwei smiled faintly, confidence brimming between her brows. If Wonder House could not be sold, then she would promote its use from another angle.


    "May I know how many stations Madam wishes for?"


    "Ten sets. The price will still be twenty taels each."


    "Hmm?"


    Zhou Manager had already prepared to bargain with Jin Weiwei, but who knew Jin Weiwei would suddenly give him the original price.


    "I thought the Madame Jin would think it was too expensive and wanted to haggle with me."


    Jin Weiwei laughed embarrassedly, and said: "I originally thought the same, it''s just that I want to monopolize the oil refinery, I can give you a price higher than twenty taels of silver, as long as the Zhou Manager does not sell to others."


    "Oh? Madame Jin thinks that this thing is very good, I heard that Madame Jin has opened a new rice noodle shop, after thinking about it again and again, I think that it is unnecessary. "


    smiled mysteriously: "This is a trade secret and it is inconvenient to tell Zhou Manager about it. It is just that, I wonder if Zhou Manager is willing to sell this machine to me?"


    Zhou Manager frowned and lowered his head. This was a bit difficult, if something that could not be used in his hands became useful in the hands of others, no matter how you looked at it, it would be because he was incompetent.


    "Consider it well, Zhou Manager. Rather than letting me keep the things I cannot sell, it would be better for me to buy them. Zhou Manager can also earn money."


    She knew what the Zhou Manager was hesitating about. With the habits of a merchant, they would definitely earn a lot of money if they saw someone interested in something. Thus, they were not willing to let go of the thing in their hands.


    "Okay, since Madame Jin wants, please wait for about half a month. I will definitely bring you ten machines."


    "Sigh, before that, I hope that Zhou Manager can sign an agreement with me. This thing cannot be sold to other families."


    Zhou Manager was silent for a moment, then said: "If Wonder House can sea, then so can other families. Don''t tell me that Madame Jin isn''t afraid of others selling this to others?"


    Now, he could not understand what Jin Weiwei was trying to do. At first glance, she was a bit reserved, but now she had changed to look like a strong lady.


    "At that time, no one can compare to me."


    Jin Weiwei only smiled and took a sip of tea. The light in her eyes caused Zhou Manager to be startled, and her impression of Jin Weiwei to change, and that''s right, with just a woman, how could she so easily establish herself in a county? Every time she met with danger, she would always be able to avoid danger.


    "Alright, I''ll go write the contract now."


    Jin Weiwei nodded, a little disappointed. Last time, it was Little Rich Son who accompanied her here, but this time... She was alone.


    Later... Her agreement was never accepted again.


    I don''t know if that guy means what he says or not.


    After all, after being together for so long, she couldn''t believe that Little Rich Son didn''t have any feelings for her.


    "Madame Jin, the contract is done. Take a look and see if there are any problems, then we will sign."


    Just as she was in a daze, Zhou Manager had already made the agreement.


    After reading it carefully, Jin Weiwei nodded his head: "No problem, let''s sign it."


    The last time she came over to sign with a man, all of his attention was on that man''s body, so he couldn''t really see the details.


    Now it would seem that this Jin Weiwei was limitless.

 C177

    After exiting the Wonder House''s door, Jin Weiwei let out a long sigh, and subconsciously handed the agreement over to his side.


    After a while, when no one answered, she turned around and realized that the person who had been by her side had disappeared.


    Jin Weiwei stared blankly at him for a moment, before withdrawing his hand and folding the agreement back into his bosom.


    She was truly bewitched!


    Mo Ba quietly followed behind. Looking at this scene, he couldn''t help but sigh. No matter who he was interested in, he would never be tempted by prince.


    Not to mention whether he was worthy or not, he was just a condition of Jin Weiwei. If the Little Emperor were to casually bestow a marriage to the prince, would he be able to win against the other party?


    If Jin Weiwei became the prince''s weakness, those opponents would definitely use Jin Weiwei to threaten him.


    Forget it, the grass in Mo Ba''s mouth fell. Since that was the case, why didn''t he take advantage of the fact that prince was not around and finish him off, saving the prince from thinking about him everyday ¡­


    When Jin Weiwei returned home, it was already dark. There was no one at home, maybe because winter was coming, so it was early in the morning.


    Sighing, it seemed that she really needed to buy a large house, as well as some servants, so that she could officially live the life of a rich woman.


    After half a month, the sausages that she gave to Zhou Manager should have also been sold, and her machine was back. Based on her calculations, she should still have about three to four thousand left.


    After a simple dinner, boiling water and taking a bath, Jin Weiwei entered the room and prepared to sleep.


    "..." It seemed like she hadn''t entered the space for a long time.


    Mo Ba who was about to go out to look for food suddenly saw Jin Weiwei''s room light up, his heart tensed up, and flew to the roof to take off the roof tiles, only to find that there was no one there.


    This is bad! He''s gone!


    Why did it disappear? It was clearly here just now.


    How was he going to explain this to prince?


    Mo Ba was sweating profusely, he suddenly thought, wouldn''t it be great if Jin Weiwei just disappeared like that?


    The prince could not be blamed on him, he could also take care of matters in the capital.


    Just as Jin Weiwei entered the space, she was startled by the scene in front of her. Previously, when she brought Little Rich Son here, she casually grew two medicinal herbs, but she did not expect them to grow into one.


    She looked at the space that had grown up and how there was even a reddish object in the distance. When Jin Weiwei walked closer, his heart almost jumped out from shock.


    What was this?


    It''s fine if you look like an egg, but you''re holding up an umbrella?


    Jin Weiwei summoned the courage to poke him. His hands felt soft and soft, as if ¡­ Mushroom?


    Is this a mutated mushroom?


    Jin Weiwei swallowed her saliva. She also didn''t remember planting any mushrooms in the dimensional space either, could it be ¡­ Was it because of the batch of herbs she grew?


    As he thought about it, Jin Weiwei no longer felt that afraid. He immediately pulled it out, but instead, staggered a bit.


    This frightened her so much that she wanted to throw it out. What was this?


    Jin Weiwei''s heart almost jumped out. If he looked carefully, this mushroom could actually move.


    Why did she look so much like an egg?


    Raising his hand to face the sunlight, he saw something that looked like a deer and he didn''t know what it looked like.


    Jin Weiwei blinked her eyes, she was stunned for a whole fifteen minutes. It was because she had planted the herbs that an egg appeared in her space, which she did not know if it was injured or not.


    Is that what you think?


    Immediately, Jin Weiwei wanted to cry. Why wasn''t her space talkative like others? Did God tell her what to do?


    After thinking for a long time, Jin Weiwei decided to put the egg back where it was. When she came out, she wanted to see what kind of thing it was.


    Startled, she left the room and prepared to sleep.


    Mo Ba, who was hesitating whether or not he should go find Jin Weiwei, saw that the room was lit up again, so he quickly went to look, and coincidentally saw Jin Weiwei on the bed.


    Mo Ba was immediately thrown into a mess, what was going on?


    He disappeared? It appeared again?


    How did Jin Weiwei manage to disappear into thin air?


    Was it a deity?


    Mo Ba couldn''t figure it out, but he couldn''t go down and ask Jin Weiwei what was going on either.


    Mo Ba decided that besides Jin Weiwei going to the toilet and changing his clothes, he would also want to closely follow and see what was going on.


    If Jin Weiwei was really an immortal, then the things that he was worried about would no longer exist. At that time, the prince would no longer be worthy.


    Thinking about it this way, the prince seemed to have become pitiful again.


    The next day, Jin Weiwei went to look at the decorations of the Rice Noodle Roll first and found that it was almost done.


    When the time came, she would need more people to keep watch around her. Her rice noodle shop was of great benefit to many people, and she didn''t believe that no one would come to mess with her during the opening day.


    As she thought of this, she went to the Dental Hall and found that there were more people selling their bodies. This time, there were even more children, and they all looked thin and sallow, just like the end of the world.


    Jin Weiwei felt her heart ache. She thought, most of these people were the victims, or the poor families that could not afford to eat.


    She still remembered when she returned with Little Rich Son. The moment they entered the Lishui County, the refugees on both sides had frighteningly tight legs that were as thin as dried branches.


    She liked money, but she also didn''t like the kind of money she earned.


    Staring straight ahead, she forced herself not to look at these tragedies. Today, she was going to the Martial Arts Store to buy a few servants for the Martial Arts Competition.


    "Yo, this madam, do you want to buy a military man?" "I have a death contract and a living contract here. I wonder what kind of one the Madam would like."


    Jin Weiwei''s suppressed heart was immediately startled by the man''s facial expression. This man was smiling as if he was a servant.


    "I want to buy a death contract, someone with more kung fu skills."


    Otherwise, she was afraid that she wouldn''t be able to beat him, and she wouldn''t be able to stall for time for people to report to the authorities.


    "Alright, wait a moment Madam. I''ll go and get a few of them for you."


    That person was overjoyed. In this short period of time, too many people had come to sell themselves. No matter how much money the industry earned, it wouldn''t be much.


    Jin Weiwei nodded, and waited for Fang Tuo to bring him up, and after they fought, he picked out a few that could resist the attack and bought them.


    Turning her head, she went back to the manor and found another ingot.


    "It''s almost winter and there isn''t much work to do in this manor. Follow me to the city to look at the shops for a few days."


    "Yes."


    Yuanbao nodded, but his gaze continued to look behind her, as if he was searching for someone.


    Mo Ba raised his eyebrows. Why does this person look so familiar?


    After spitting out the grass in his mouth, he felt a cold glare coming his way and immediately hid it away.


    F * ck!


    Why was this feeling so familiar?


    Ouch! He thought there wasn''t anyone else by this woman''s side, but he didn''t expect her to be an expert.


    Once again, he stuck his head out and saw that although Yuan Bao was talking to Jin Weiwei, his eyes kept on looking in his direction.


    Mo Ba curled his lips, he actually could not sense this person''s inner strength.


    Jin Weiwei saw that the ingot was not in its proper state, and could not help but ask: "What''s wrong, are you not feeling well?"


    Yuanbao shook his head and suddenly stopped. "I have something that I forgot to take. You go wait for me in the car."


    "Mm. Alright."


    Jin Weiwei did not doubt him and turned to leave.

    If one took a closer look, the water still carried a stinky smell.


    "You bad girl, you dare to splash water on me?!" The Madame Cao was fuming, he immediately scolded, "You pervert! You''re the same as your father, sooner or later, you''ll have to run away with someone else!"


    You ran away with someone?


    Jin Weiwei frowned and quickly searched the original owner''s memories.


    After her mother died, he couldn''t hold it in anymore and found the coquettish Madame Cao to renew his song. Unfortunately, the good news didn''t last long, and not long after, he hooked up with the richest widow Zhang in the village. The last two were unhappy in the village, so they just took the two families'' money and eloped.


    Sigh, this original owner had to suffer for having such a greedy and lecherous father on his stepmother''s back. But coming back to it, even if her father was bad, he couldn''t blame this on her. In short, to bully her, Jin Weiwei, he didn''t even have a chance!


    Jin Weiwei knocked on the empty basin with all his might, raised his voice and said unhurriedly:


    "Why doesn''t my dad want you? Don''t you know what you''re thinking? I''ve been fooling around with people all day, and I don''t know how many green hats I brought to my dad, but you still have the nerve to shout like that! If you continue to make a scene, I''ll go to the latrine and put up a pot of incense to serve your damned wife! "


    Everyone laughed, there were even some who jeered at the side, telling Jin Weiwei to hurry up and pretend.


    Madame Cao was trembling from head to toe, she could not say a single word, she knew that she would not be able to enter the courtyard today.


    "bad girl, remember this, today''s matter is not over!" Madame Cao spat out a few harsh words and immediately pushed through the crowd of onlookers and ran off with his tail between his legs.


    Jin Weiwei raised his head and smiled ¡ª In the first round, he obtained complete victory.


    * *


    As the proverb goes, once someone is unlucky, they have to drink a mouthful of cold water to fill their teeth. Not long after Madame Cao ran out, heavy rain began to fall from the sky and she had nowhere to go.


    He did not expect that the moment he entered the door, he would run into the little beggar who she initially wanted to use to frame Jin Weiwei.


    "Who?" When the little beggar heard the commotion, he immediately sat up from the mat.


    Seeing that he was extremely vigilant, the Madame Cao was afraid that he would be chased out. Thus, he immediately smiled: "I am a Madame Cao of the eastern Jin Family, I am passing by to avoid the rain. I hope little brother can help out."


    Unexpectedly, the little beggar looked her up and down. Seeing her in such a sorry state, he did not move the slightest bit. His thin lips slightly parted as he coldly spat out two words:


    "Get out."


    His voice was not loud, but somehow, it carried a sense of majesty, scaring Madame Cao to the point that his heart tightened. Wasn''t this beggar also a fool? How come he wasn''t stupid at all?


    How could a fool look at someone like that?


    Madame Cao muttered in his heart, and quietly walked to the side, while carefully examining the little beggar.


    Although the little beggar''s dishevelled hair covered most of his face, Madame Cao was able to see the wound in the middle of his forehead clearly.


    "Little brother, you''re hurt?" The Madame Cao asked with fake concern.


    The little beggar ignored her and continued to sit cross-legged on the mat with his eyes closed.


    Seeing that the wound on his head was new, Madame Cao suddenly had a thought. Didn''t that bad girl come to this rundown temple today? Could it be that this injury was related to her?


    Even if he didn''t close it, he had to at least tell her something about it. If he didn''t make things easy for her, he couldn''t let her live a good life either!


    "Little brother, this injury of yours was beaten by someone, right? Do you know who hit you? " The Madame Cao probed.


    The little beggar slowly opened his eyes as a sharp gaze shot towards the Madame Cao.


    "I, I know who hit you!"


    Madame Cao was intimidated by this gaze and did not dare to keep them in suspense.


    Of course, what had happened was already in her mouth as Jin Weiwei shamelessly and shamelessly wanted to take over the little beggar. The little beggar was unwilling to die, so she became angry and injured him.


    The little beggar''s brows creased deeper as he listened. "Who are you referring to?"


    "Jin Weiwei from the meat shop in the west of the village, the one who hit you was her. She ¡­"


    Madame Cao wanted to say something, but in the next moment, the little beggar stood up and walked out.


    * *


    Bang bang bang!


    Who was knocking on the door in this heavy rain and wind? Could it be that shameless Madame Cao ran back?


    Jin Weiwei originally did not want to bother with it, but as the sound of the door being knocked grew louder and louder, she had no choice but to hold up her umbrella and go to the entrance to take a look.


    When he saw it, he was shocked.


    Wasn''t this the beautiful beggar girl from that run-down temple this morning?


    Why did he come looking for me?


    Vengeance? Avoiding the rain?


    It wasn''t for anything else, just based on his looks alone, no matter what, he wouldn''t let him get caught in the rain.


    Without a word, she opened the door and reached out her hand to drag him inside. However, he unexpectedly reacted quickly and dodged to the side.


    "What a fool!" What are you trying to hide from? It''s raining so heavily, hurry up and follow me inside! " Jin Weiwei took another step forward, then grabbed the idiot beggar''s wrist and forcefully pulled him into the house.


    Entering the house, the little beggar looked around and confirmed that Jin Weiwei was alone at home.


    He lifted his hair and pointed at the wound on his forehead. "Did you hit him?"


    Oh, so she was really here to scold him, but, since she had already fought, she was not afraid to admit it, she, Jin Weiwei, was a brave man who dared to do things.


    Jin Weiwei raised his eyebrows, "That''s right, so what if I did? Didn''t you hit me too? "


    The little beggar raised his eyebrows. "You hit me, so you have to take responsibility."

 C179

    It was late in the evening, and large quantities of food had come out. The Ma Clan''s Moulin Rouge had actually donated 10,000 Jin of food!


    When he heard this news, Jin Weiwei was unable to control himself and directly spat out his tea.


    "He must be crazy!"


    No matter how kind she, Jin Weiwei, was, she would not dare to donate so much. Three thousand kilograms was her bottom line.


    Just that, why would Ma Chengfu do that? Based on Ma Chengfu''s personality, he should be furious about this kind of thing.


    The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. Jin Weiwei decided to go discuss it with Wang Hai.


    In the end, when they reached the county magistrate court, Wang Hai had actually brought some people to the refugee area in the outskirts to distribute food.


    "Go, quickly go to the outskirts"


    Jin Weiwei frowned, she felt that Ma Chengfu did not have any good intentions?


    "Stop, is it Jin Weiwei from Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop?"


    Looking at yamen runner in front of him, Jin Weiwei had a bad premonition.


    "I am."


    "This morning, we found Jin Dabao dead outside the Feng Ya Pavilion, holding a hairpin in his hand. Someone said that the hairpin was yours, and we suspect that you are involved, this is an arrest warrant, please come with us."


    Listening to the formalization of the words, Jin Weiwei''s heart was thrown into turmoil, Jin Dabao was actually dead?


    She saw him well the other day.


    "Impossible, it''s impossible for Jin Dabao to die!"


    Jin Weiwei still could not believe it, but the yamen runner did not have the patience to listen to her explanation, and directly ordered her to be taken away.


    In the distance, Fu Zhi was pushing Gongsun Hong. Gongsun Hong looked at Jin Weiwei with a face full of disbelief, and said softly: "What a pity."


    "Other than this, what''s the pity about the stumbling block that blocked my master''s path?"


    Fu Zhi let out a snort of laughter. The gloominess on his face was even more obvious than Gongsun Hong''s.


    "If possible, this young master does not wish for anything to happen to this woman. She ¡­" "Very interesting."


    There was a hint of joy and also a trace of regret in his words. It was as if he had seen a prey he was interested in about to die.


    "If young master is willing, saving this woman isn''t impossible. It''s just that I''m afraid she won''t be able to see it for the rest of her life."


    was an important figure, and the death of Jin Dabao was just the trigger for it.


    "Her entire body is covered with claws. She can''t be tamed."


    Gongsun Hong pursed his lips together as his smile widened. He knew what Gongsun Hong meant, this woman ¡­ He couldn''t live.


    "..."


    "Jin Weiwei! "What''s going on?"


    Cheng Yu looked at Jin Weiwei who was caught in front of him, with a face full of disbelief, according to his calculations, Jin Weiwei should not have entered so quickly.


    Jin Weiwei shook her head. She did not understand the situation.


    "Big brother yamen runner, can you let me talk to my family?"


    Jin Weiwei turned her head and placed a few pieces of silver into yamen runner''s hands. She must find out what happened.


    How could her hairpin be in Jin Dabao''s hands? She had clearly placed it in space.


    Who knew that after the yamen runner received the silver, he would push her away and spew out fiercely: "Pui!" You are already here, what are you still saying! "


    "Hey!" "You!"


    Jin Weiwei wanted to curse his little temper, but when he saw Cheng Yu shake his head, he couldn''t take it anymore.


    After the yamen runner left, Cheng Yu asked anxiously, "Why did they catch you and bring you in?"


    "They said that Jin Dabao died, and that they were holding onto my hairpin, suspecting me of being related to this matter, and brought me here."


    God damn, she knew what was going on, but she was still confused!


    Cheng Yu frowned. He had thought that Jin Weiwei would at most come in due to Wang Hai losing the food for the disaster. There would still be room for him to leave, but this sudden situation had caught him off guard.


    "Did something strange happen?"


    Cheng Yu frowned, he suddenly remembered that Gongsun Hong was still at Lishui County, could it be that Gongsun Hong was the one who did this?


    When this thought came out, Cheng Yu felt that it was strange, the matter regarding Jin Weiwei could not affect him at all ¡­ Unless Jin Weiwei did something, or it was a chess piece that Gongsun Hong had taken.


    "Strange things... This afternoon, Ma Chengfu donated five thousand kilograms of grain ¡­ "


    She felt that this matter was rather strange, why would Ma Chengfu donate ten thousand catties?


    Cheng Yu exhaled a breath of air and for a moment, the dungeon descended into silence.


    Jin Weiwei looked at the small hole above the cell, why did she feel like she was involved in someone else''s chess board?


    It was as if every step she took was part of someone''s calculations. This feeling was simply too terrifying.


    On the other hand, Wang Hai thought that Jin Weiwei''s method was quite effective. This time, he had donated a lot more food than the imperial government had given him.


    But at night, in the refugee area located in the outskirts, a large number of citizens suddenly died. As the county magistrate, Xu Ziqi brought people to investigate, and surprisingly, the rice was poisonous, coincidentally some of the merchants there exposed that it was Wang Hai who colluded with the evil merchants to plunder the food, and the rice that was given to the refugees was poisonous.


    Before Wang Hai even had the chance to explain, Xu Ziqi had already brought people over to capture Wang Hai.


    "Who dares to touch our county? This county is the parent officer of our Lishui County, you are offending us from the bottom of your hearts!"


    Xu Ziqi laughed coldly: "Offended by a superior? Lord Wang, you can''t even protect yourself anymore. "Come on, arrest this criminal who is lying to the imperial court!"


    As the words were spoken, all the surrounding yamen runner surrounded him. Seeing Wang Hai being dishonest, some people even went forward to give him a kick.


    How could Wang Hai''s old arms and legs possibly withstand such a force? The pain made him break out in a cold sweat.


    Before Jin Weiwei could understand what was happening, he saw that Wang Hai had also been caught and brought in.


    Jin Weiwei thought he saw wrongly, and even rubbed his eyes. After realizing that it was really Wang Hai, his heart felt like a rock that had fallen into the ocean, sinking to the bottom of the bottomless abyss.


    "Lord Wang!" Why did you come in as well? "


    Wang Hai broke out in a cold sweat. He was still in pain from the kick, unable to say a word, he could only shake his head.


    Cheng Yu''s face darkened even more. He had underestimated that person''s scheme ¡­


    When Jin Weiwei was captured, Mo Ba felt that something was amiss. After confirming that Jin Weiwei was temporarily safe, he immediately rushed towards the direction of the capital.


    prince valued this woman so highly, if he did not tell her, he would regret it for the rest of his life.


    Yes, in the beginning, Mo Ba didn''t think much of Jin Weiwei, and felt that a person who came from a village wouldn''t be worthy of the prince. But after being "together" for such a long time, he admired Jin Weiwei a little, he liked to spend money, and his calculations were just right, yet he maintained a kind heart. In regards to the fact that Jin Dabao was not his own biological father, he did not kick Jin Dabao out of his house like the others.


    There were also the occasional fragile and feigned toughness, which made him feel that this woman was much more flesh and blood than the other women in the capital.


    Little Rich Son, who was far away in the capital, was accompanying Ji Changhuai as he participated in the Xu Family Banquet.


    Little Rich Son''s fiancee, Wei Shuwei, who had just been bestowed a marriage, was also present. And what made Little Rich Son frustrated was that this woman kept sticking to him, flirting with him in the manner he thought he was the best.


    Little Rich Son who could not bear the disturbance immediately hid amongst the group of men, and drank wine mouthful after mouthful. For some reason, he was extremely agitated today.

 C180

    So much so that at night, Little Rich Son didn''t even give a good face to someone from the Xu Family, which made Ji Changhuai extremely happy.


    But when he returned, Ji Changhuai felt that something was wrong. It was fine to give others a look, but why did he give his father a look?


    "He''s been sent?"


    Without waiting for Ji Changhuai to ask Little Rich Son, Little Rich Son was the first to ask about it. His face was as dark as it could be.


    Ji Changhuai''s face fell: Hmm, the Xu Family are full of people, looks like this matter is related to them too.


    Listening to Ji Changhuai''s serious expression, Little Rich Son turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.


    "I''ll leave tomorrow."


    "Hmm? Do you have the heart to abandon me, your father, in such a dangerous place? Let me tell you, the poison in my body has not been cleansed.


    This pissed him off. He had grown up with his son, and now that he had a wife, he forgot about his father.


    "She''s in danger."


    With just one sentence, he managed to shut Ji Changhuai up. Alright, alright, alright, who told this lady to be weak?


    "Go, return as soon as possible."


    "Yes."


    The next day, the news of Regent being assassinated by assassins spread. They were currently unconscious and heavily injured.


    The Regent was furious and searched the homes of all the officials around.


    The emperor did not even dare to make a sound, he had even gifted many things to comfort the Regent, and had the Jin Wu Guards thoroughly investigate this matter. He even wanted to come to see the Regent, but was injured so badly by the Regent that he could not even see the emperor.


    This search didn''t matter. He''d found some silver coins of unknown origin from the few officials'' residences and pulled out a few corrupt officials.


    No one had the time to pay attention to the situation of the Regent, as they were all worried for their own heads.


    Little Rich Son and Mo Ba had met in Yunhai County, and the two sides had almost fought each other when they met.


    "prince, something has happened to Miss Kim."


    Mo Ba looked at the few blades hanging on his neck, swallowed his saliva, and ripped off the black cloth covering his face, revealing his cracked lips. This was the result of two days of travelling without rest.


    Little Rich Son''s pupils constricted and the pressure in the room instantly dropped by several degrees. "How is she?"


    "He was slandered by Xu Ziqi''s men and killed Jin Dabao. He''s currently in the Lishui County''s dungeon."


    "We''re leaving immediately."


    With that, Little Rich Son disappeared from the room. Other than the window that was opened wide, there was nothing else.


    Mo Ba pursed his lips, despair filling his eyes. He had not closed his eyes for two days already, could he rest for a bit?


    If he knew that prince cared so much about Jin Weiwei, he would have rested for a night before coming to prince.


    "..."


    Jin Weiwei sat in the cell with his knees in front of him for four days as he thought deeply for four days.


    Combined with Cheng Yu''s and Wang Hai''s words, she was sure that they had fallen into a trap, a trap that had long been laid out for them.


    From the moment Cheng Yu came in, some people had already started to scheme. First, her store had been harassed, the price had been pushed down, and then the relief food that came later had been robbed. Then Wang Hai came to ask for food from her, and Ma Chengfu had donated ten thousand kilograms of food.


    There was definitely someone backing Ma Chengfu up. Listening to what Cheng Yu said, Ma Chengfu was a person who coveted the position of the Lishui County Merchant Guild''s President, so he would definitely not be bold enough to challenge Wang Hai.


    Could it be Xu Ziqi?


    The first person Jin Weiwei suspected was him, he was from a royal family, and also had enmity with Wang Hai. Other than him, Jin Weiwei couldn''t think of anyone else.


    When Little Rich Son arrived, the people from the imperial government just happened to have arrived as well.


    One of them was the commander of Ji Changhuai''s faction, Shi Feng Cen, and the other was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Che. He worked for the emperor and was pushed up by the people from Xu Family.


    Feng Cen was knocked out and robbed just as he reached Lishui County.


    "Who are you people!?" Do you know who I am! "You are tying up the imperial court''s officials. If you catch them, you must kill them!"


    "Alright, stop blabbering around. Let''s see who it is, then you can speak."


    Mo Ba impatiently picked his ears and ripped the cloth bag off Feng Cen''s head.


    "prince?!"


    In the capital, who didn''t know of this? Don''t offend the Regent easily, don''t look at how good you are normally.


    Even though Feng Cen was from the Regent camp, he did not dare act rashly.


    "Yes."


    Little Rich Son''s gaze was still outside the door, not even once landing on Feng Cen.


    "What orders does prince have?"


    Feng Cen had also calmed down. He had been conferred the title of an envoy by the Regent and he could not forget who it was that had given him a future. He could not afford to offend the person in front of him.


    "Right now, you have to take good care of Prefecture Wang Hai and Jin Weiwei, the owner of Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop. If you can''t do it, then you don''t need to wear this hat."


    Mo Ba still understood Little Rich Son quite well, and even went to take a look at Little Rich Son after he finished, only relaxing after seeing that he did not have any objections.


    Feng Cen, who was an expert at reading people''s expressions, nodded his head hurriedly, "This subject will definitely protect these two. prince does not need to worry."


    Little Rich Son then gave her gaze to Feng Cen. The coldness in her eyes caused Feng Cen to shiver and feel a deep threat.


    "I cannot reveal my identity."


    "Yes, this subject will definitely remember that."


    Feng Cen was curious. There was no one in this Lishui County that could threaten prince. Why would prince avoid his identity?


    "Yes."


    Little Rich Son nodded his head, he raised his cold face and Feng Cen immediately left the room.


    "prince, what do we do next?"


    Mo Ba rubbed his two black eye circles as he asked this. He definitely had to ruthlessly torture these people, so it was not in vain that he hadn''t slept for four days.


    "Wait."


    "Wait? What was there to wait for, it was clearly that bastard Xu Ziqi! Sigh ¡­ prince, where are you going? "


    Mo Ba''s face was filled with dissatisfaction, obviously, the prince could destroy this group of people with a move of his finger.


    Mo Feng picked his ears, grabbed Mo Ba''s collar and brought him back, saying: "Are you an idiot? prince must have gone to see Miss Kim. "


    "Look at Miss Kim... Didn''t prince say not to reveal her identity? "


    Mo Feng sighed helplessly. He was suspicious of Mo Ba''s IQ, for a moment, he seemed to understand the affairs between men and women, and for a while, he seemed to be an idiot.


    "You haven''t slept in four days, aren''t you?"


    Hearing Mo Feng say that, Mo Ba really felt tired, in the next second, his entire person fell into Mo Feng''s embrace.


    Mo Feng was startled, then looked at Mo Ba with disdain. He really wanted to throw the big bearded man away.


    "..."


    "Jin Weiwei, someone is here to see you."


    Jin Weiwei suddenly jumped up. She had been out for so many days and no one could come in, why would anyone come to see her?


    Even Cheng Yu and Wang Hai who were in the neighboring cells were leaning over. To be able to see their identity, they must not be simple people.


    "Weiwei."


    Before Jin Weiwei could react, he was already in a familiar embrace.

 C181

    In a split-second, Jin Weiwei''s nose turned sour, and an urge to cry surfaced in her mind.


    In the end, Jin Weiwei held back the corners of his mouth, and endured. There were others here, it would be too embarrassing if they cried.


    Cheng Yu was startled, he felt that the man beside Jin Weiwei was a little different, the cold aura around him was extremely similar to that of a superior cultivator.


    "I''m back."


    Little Rich Son stroked Jin Weiwei''s back, lowered his head and kissed Jin Weiwei''s head, as he softly said that.


    "Next time if you leave so long, I really don''t want you anymore. I''ll find another man and put on a hat no matter how tall you are!"


    Jin Weiwei punched Little Rich Son''s chest. In the end, he was unable to endure, and dropped two golden beans.


    Little Rich Son''s face darkened, and pressed the person closer to him: "You dare!"


    Jin Weiwei sniffed and wiped his mucus off before raising his head: "How did you get in here?"


    "Just like that."


    Isn''t this nonsense?


    Oh... She had almost forgotten that Little Rich Son''s identity was that of a prince.


    "Sir Wang, let''s talk."


    Little Rich Son''s gentle gaze turned cold the moment she left Jin Weiwei.


    Wang Hai subconsciously took a step back, and his spine unconsciously bent.


    After that, yamen runner brought Wang Hai out of this place, and Little Rich Son followed along.


    Cheng Yu squinted his eyes, as he suspected Little Rich Son''s identity.


    "Madame Jin, who is your husband?"


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes flashed twice. What should he do? Should she tell Cheng Yu? She always felt that Little Rich Son''s identity was too dangerous and she accidentally attracted her enemies.


    "He''s just an ordinary person like me."


    Jin Weiwei revealed a smile, his two exposed canines looking extremely sincere.


    Yes, regardless of Little Rich Son''s identity, in her eyes, he was her only Little Rich Son.


    Cheng Yu could not help but feel bitterness in his heart, what else could he hope for, or hope that Jin Weiwei had nothing to discuss with him? Wasn''t he also deceiving Jin Weiwei?


    Not long after, Wang Hai came back, and only looked at Jin Weiwei with a changed expression. Jin Weiwei raised his eyebrows and rubbed his nose, it can''t be that Little Rich Son had told Wang Hai his identity, right?


    To be honest, she didn''t know who Little Rich Son''s real identity was, she only knew that the few people beside him called him prince.


    "Weiwei."


    As she was lost in thought, Little Rich Son''s voice sounded from above her head. Raising her head, she felt that a very good letter had appeared in her hands.


    Jin Weiwei looked and touched it, and it still felt a little hard, what was inside?


    "Keep it safe."


    With that, Little Rich Son left the dungeon, Jin Weiwei curled his lips across the cell''s fence.


    Opening the envelope, an exquisite and exquisite hairpin slipped out. The deep blue color it revealed seemed extremely mysterious and grand. Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up.


    And there was this workmanship that made the price pretty expensive. As a money grubber, she was forgiven for thinking of money instead of money when she saw the hairpin.


    As the saying goes, money is not omnipotent, but no money is impossible.


    Cheng Yu looked at Jin Weiwei with the wrong eyes, and when she hugged something as she laughed foolishly, she couldn''t help but smile, maybe only in front of that man, would she be able to smile so happily.


    Wang Hai''s heart was thrown into turmoil. He never would have thought that the person running errands for Jin Weiwei was actually the only son of the Regent, Ji Jingzhi.


    Thinking back to what Ji Jingzhi had just said to him, he still had not reacted.


    "..."


    When Little Rich Son left the town hall, he first went to the Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop, only to see a group of commoners surrounding him with their Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop, continuously throwing away the various pieces of junk in their hands.


    Little Rich Son frowned, and squeezed through the crowd into the shop.


    "Close the door."


    The sudden appearance of Little Rich Son stunned all the servants in the shop. In the end, Yuan Bao was the first to react: "If Wei ¡­ When the boss comes back and sees that the store is closed, she will be very sad. "


    Little Rich Son raised his head, shot him a glance, and coldly said: "The door is closed."


    His voice was as cold as a frosty moon in an icehouse, chilling people''s hearts.


    With a servant unable to withstand Little Rich Son''s pressure, he stepped forward to close the door. Everyone knew, Little Rich Son was the boss''s man, they all knew in their hearts who he was supposed to listen to.


    Yuan Bao''s face turned cold, the killing intent released was not much weaker than Little Rich Son''s.


    "If someone were to tear down the store ¡­"


    Little Rich Son suddenly let out a cold laugh as he turned his head to look at the ingot. The vortex in his eyes gave the ingot a sense of dread.


    "Weiwei will be even more hurt."


    Yuan Bao was startled. Hearing the shouts from outside, as well as hearing the smelly eggs and broken leaves that were constantly hitting the door, it seemed like ¡­ What he said made sense.


    Seeing that the ingot was silent, the servants did not say a word. Normally, this ingot was also very scary, so they all listened to him.


    "Wait for Weiwei to come out."


    After throwing that sentence, Little Rich Son went out the back door.


    Everyone looked at each other, feeling extremely uneasy. Their master had been captured by the government and they might not be able to return. When the time came, they would have to hand it over to the government, and life would not be so easy there.


    Furthermore, a master like Jin Weiwei was extremely good. They would reward him for his good work, and they did not want anything bad to happen to him.


    In less than two days of effort, Xu Ziqi had brought his men to the place where Wang Hai was "storing the food for the disaster".


    Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop was also suspected to have food hidden in them. Xu Ziqi''s men brought people here to investigate and found some food on the third floor of Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop.


    "What is this?"


    The leading yamen runner looked at Yuan Bao viciously. In the past few days, they had already shown off their might, those who died could be described as alive while those who died could be described as white.


    yamen runner who was speaking fell in love with this feeling too.


    Yuanbao coldly looked at him, took out an account book, and disdainfully laughed, "These are all recorded in the storehouse. Does Master Guan want to check them?"


    "What kind of account book is this!" "I suspect that there''s something wrong with all the rice noodles in your house. Men! Arrest all the people and bring them back for interrogation!"


    "Try it!"


    Yuan Bao threw the account book and looked at yamen runner as if he was looking at a dead man.


    yamen runner shook twice, and beads of perspiration appeared on his forehead. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and realized that he was part of the government, how could he be scared by a mere servant!


    "Wh-what are you all doing?!" Hurry up and take them away! "


    "I want to see who dares!"


    Before the yamen runner could finish speaking, another group of yamen runner barged in from the entrance, led by a very imposing group.


    When the yamen runner saw him, he was immediately terrified. He quickly bowed and said: "Constable Zhou."


    "You little rascal, you can do it!" Did he think that he would be able to tell who was in the wrong just by following the county magistrate without checking the accounts? Who gave you the guts! "


    Constable Zhou was an old yamen runner who was brought up by a new messenger, Feng Cen. His kung fu was good and upright, so these people were all a little afraid of Constable Zhou.

 C182

    He is only a member of the Assistant County Magistrate Xu, he cannot be a human with his tail between his legs.


    Although the Assistant County Magistrate Xu was a relative of the imperial family, their Lishui County couldn''t be compared to the capital''s, so they would naturally listen to whomever''s fist was stronger.


    "I dare not to, I was just about to investigate, who knew that the servant did not put me in his eyes and wanted to teach me a lesson!"


    "Alright, take your men and scram. We''ll take over this place!"


    Constable Zhou waved his hand impatiently. Normally, these people would have acted arrogantly, but now that he met them, he couldn''t just ignore them.


    "That''s not good, I came here with Assistant County Magistrate Xu''s life to check ¡­"


    The yamen runner weakly retorted, but when he was glared at by Constable Zhou, he didn''t say anything else and obediently left.


    Yuan Bao looked at Constable Zhou with a frown. His fists were clenched tightly, and he appeared to be in a state of emergency.


    Constable Zhou turned around to look at Yuanbao. His squarish face had a serious expression on it, making it hard for people to think that he was a bad guy.


    "Please show me the account book, as well as the rice noodles in the warehouse."


    Hearing this, Yuanbao loosened his fist, nodded, and gave the account book to Constable Zhou.


    In this period of time, Jin Weiwei was slandered, he was killed, and later on the crime of colluding with Wang Hai to buy and sell food, there were even people who dug out Jin Weiwei''s past and said that Jin Weiwei sold the poisonous meat to everyone to eat, and the poisonous rice for everyone to eat.


    People who didn''t know anything would naturally come looking for trouble.


    After the investigation, Constable Zhou sighed, "In this world, good people don''t live for long. A disaster will last for a thousand years."


    There was nothing wrong with Jin Weiwei''s shop, it was just that if Jin Weiwei wanted to restore the reputation that he had lost, it would be very difficult.


    In the end, Constable Zhou''s words didn''t sound good in everyone''s ears. Did he mean that their boss wouldn''t be able to come back?


    "What do you mean?"


    Yuan Bao went up to stop him. His eyes were round like an ox. If Constable Zhou was not a man, he would have been scared to death.


    "The current situation is very disadvantageous to your boss."


    Constable Zhou sighed and left after saying that.


    The ingot frowned, and the fist next to him clenched into a fist.


    "..."


    "Young master, do we still need to take action?"


    Fu Zhi asked Gongsun Hong who was standing by the window in a low voice, while the person who was directing all these things sat steadily on his wheelchair, a seemingly gentle smile hanging on his face.


    "Didn''t father come to urge me to go home? This young master has been out for a long time.


    Gongsun Hong said softly, her eyebrows were blurred, the gentle words were like a feather in people''s hearts, yet the moment they fell into his gentleness, they turned into a poisonous snake, giving them a fatal blow.


    "Mn, then let''s head back to Yuncheng tomorrow?"


    Gongsun Hong nodded his head, as he turned his face to the side with an extremely beautiful silhouette and said, "Mm, tell Ma Chengfu, if he doesn''t get the position of the president of the Lishui County Association this time, his future will be over."


    "Yes."


    "Let''s go."


    Gongsun Hong sighed, which could not be heard, and the image of Jin Weiwei''s strange face surfaced in his mind once again. He couldn''t help but smile, it seemed quite a pity that a woman like that had disappeared.


    He could not stay in this place any longer, as the matter of Lishui County had already become a part of the battle between and Xu Family.


    Ma family.


    "Master, the master sent a message, saying that if Master does not obtain the position of President of the Lishui County Merchant Guild this time, your future will not be safe."


    Ma De''s face was covered in sweat. What he feared the most was to pass messages to Gongsun Hong and Ma Chengfu, the two of them were ruthless people.


    "Humph, he just sat there and spoke without feeling any pain in his waist. Originally, this matter was easily resolved. Who knew that the people from the imperial government would interfere, and this matter will become troublesome!"


    "Master, didn''t the official minister come here just to investigate the matter of Wang Hai''s corrupt food? Old master, if you take advantage of the chaos and kill Jin Weiwei, then kill yourself if you want to commit suicide out of guilt, then we won''t be able to find out anything. "


    Ma De twisted his small goatee, revealing a sinister smile. This was a little habit that he showed Ma Chengfu when he was trying to think of a solution for the past few years.


    Ma Chengfu pulled his head which was almost finished with its hair, and rubbed his hands together, then said impatiently: "Big things, what big things can happen to Lishui County?"


    "Master, with so many refugees, if the government does something and loses the hearts of the people, it''s possible for there to be some kind of riot, right?"


    "Riots? You want to pull all the officials of Lishui County into this mess? "


    Ma Chengfu stopped moving, the oil on his hands had also been wiped clean, as if he was thinking about Ma De''s words.


    Yeah, if the Master is promoting the new messenger to protect Wang Hai, Jin Weiwei, and is preparing to poison them to death with the rice, then see if these people will go back to normal, ah, as the saying goes, this rabbit is going to bite people when he''s anxious.


    Marder smiled like a rat and was pleased with his idea.


    "Good, good, that''s a good idea. Since you''re the one who suggested it, you can go and do it. If it doesn''t work out well ¡­"


    Ma Chengfu sneered, then patted Ma De''s shoulder with his gold ring. Ma De immediately bent over to show his loyalty.


    "..."


    Jin Weiwei looked up to the sky again, the hairpin in her arms was no longer of any interest to her.


    She really wanted to enter the space now to see if the agate had starved to death. She really wanted to take a bath. Her body was itching to die from the itch.


    What was even more irritating was that Little Rich Son had not come to see her for two days already. Other than a piece of paper that made her feel at ease, there was nothing else.


    Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah! "She''s going crazy!


    They said it was a separate cell, but there were fences on both sides of the cell. Whatever they did, they would see it from next door!


    "Weiwei."


    Cheng Yu suddenly called out, Jin Weiwei looked over and asked: "What?"


    "I have two books here, do you want to read them?"


    Jin Weiwei lowered his head, seeing that there was a book in Cheng Yu''s hands, his eyes immediately lit up. He crawled over to take the book, and joked: "I never thought that you would have such a hobby, huh."


    Wasn''t it usually girls who read these words in the book? Cheng Yu smiled faintly. If he did not reply, he could not say anything, because he knew Jin Weiwei was coming in.


    "Weiwei."


    In the end, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of Jin Weiwei''s prison cell. Jin Weiwei was overjoyed, and handed the book in his hand to Cheng Yu, then walked over to Little Rich Son with shining eyes.


    "When can I go out?"


    Little Rich Son smiled, patted her head, and said: "Almost."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s mouth twitched as he pushed Little Rich Son''s hand away: "I''m going crazy quickly here!"


    "Hmm?"


    Little Rich Son was a little doubtful, what kind of mental illness was this?


    "..." "Think of a way, I want to take a bath."


    He had been holding in his anger for a long time, but in the end, he didn''t release it. He only said what he needed the most right now.

 C183

    Little Rich Son brought Jin Weiwei out of the cell and successfully took a bath.


    "Why haven''t I seen you cover my hair before? Say, did you cover for the little girl somewhere? "


    At this time, Jin Weiwei was only wearing a slightly thicker coat, his long hair was drenched and hung down his back, and there were still one or two strands of hair that flipped between Little Rich Son''s fingers.


    "Nope."


    Little Rich Son''s eyes became a little blurry, as if the hair in his hands was the most precious treasure in the world.


    "Then tell me, who did you cover for in the past!"


    Jin Weiwei pouted her lips, as if she wanted to ask something. Just like the girls in her previous life who were forcing her boyfriend, perhaps even Jin Weiwei himself wouldn''t have thought that he would be like this one day.


    "I saw my father do this to my mother when I was a child."


    Little Rich Son''s voice was soft, like a floating bubble, multi-colored and extremely beautiful, yet it broke with a poke of her finger.


    Jin Weiwei bit her lower lip. Why did she feel that if she continued to ask, she would prick Little Rich Son''s sore spot?


    "Cough ¡­" "What is the situation outside now? Are the rice noodle shop and the butcher''s shop affected?"


    In order to not continue this heavy topic, Jin Weiwei changed the topic.


    Little Rich Son put down one side of Jin Weiwei''s hair and went to the other side.


    "I''ll close it."


    The short three words made Jin Weiwei crumble a little. Closing it would not be good!


    F * ck!


    "Did these people put dirty water on my head?"


    "..." "Right."


    Little Rich Son hesitated for a moment, but still answered. Even if he didn''t say it, since Jin Weiwei was smart, he would have guessed it himself.


    "Does it mean that I have colluded with Zhixian to sell poisoned rice to everyone?"


    This time, Little Rich Son did not speak, but Jin Weiwei was completely furious, to think that it would be such a melodramatic scene! Damn it, this group of people did not want to see her!


    "Go and keep an eye on Assistant County Magistrate Xu, and the Ma Family. If the Assistant County Magistrate Xu and the prefecture are enemies, they will definitely do something against us. Ma Chengfu hates me the most, so he will definitely do something else!"


    Little Rich Son frowned, he looked at Jin Weiwei''s back, and an unbearable thought flashed past his eyes.


    "I''ve got someone watching."


    Jin Weiwei was relieved, he did not expect Little Rich Son to suddenly turn in front of her.


    "Weiwei."


    "Hmm?"


    Jin Weiwei looked at Little Rich Son and saw the seriousness in his eyes that had never appeared before. He could not help but be a little panicked, "Are you trying to do something stupid? Let me tell you, you are the prince, the kind of person who will go home to inherit his family''s inheritance if he doesn''t live well outside. I will be relying on you for the rest of my life, if you were to take your life as a joke, I ¡­ I, anyway, you''re not allowed to try! "


    After listening to Jin Weiwei''s words, Little Rich Son suddenly lowered his head, remained silent for a long time, then raised it again, and spoke with caution: "If, one day you find out that I''ve lied to you, what will happen to you?"


    After confirming once again that the inside of Little Rich Son''s eyes was serious, Jin Weiwei rolled his eyes twice, feeling a little sour in his heart.


    "If you lie to me, I''ll leave and never let you find that."


    Little Rich Son''s eyes changed, there was a moment of ruthlessness, his wrist exerted a force, and pulled her into his embrace.


    "No."


    He pushed someone''s chest but did not push him away. Jin Weiwei sighed and patted Little Rich Son''s back: "Alright, if you''re not lying to me, I won''t leave."


    Who wouldn''t want to spend their whole life with someone unless they didn''t want to?


    "..."


    Two days later, there was a sudden stir among the refugees.


    "Come on, these corrupt officials are not going to let us commoners live well anymore. We will all die here and there, so we might as well fight with them. Everyone pick up the weapons in your hands and fight to the death with them!"


    At first, they thought that they would be saved after coming to Lishui County, but now, they even had to worry about whether they would be poisoned to death!


    The price of the rice noodle in the city was still rising. Some of them had sold their sons and daughters in order to buy the rice noodle. Since the court had come to protect these greedy officials, how could they not hate them?


    The yamen runner that was guarding the refugee shed saw that something was wrong and quickly ran away. These refugees did not care about their lives, they still wanted their lives.


    "Lord, Lord, this is bad!" The refugees in the refugee shack are rebelling! "


    yamen runner tumbled and crawled into the main hall of the county magistrate. Feng Cen, who was leading the crowd to discuss some matters, had his expression change. He was an official sent by the imperial government, yet such a thing happened as soon as he arrived.


    "What''s going on?"


    Feng Cen left his seat, grabbed yamen runner''s collar and asked anxiously.


    Behind him, Zhang Che and Xu Ziqi looked at each other. They could see the schadenfreude in each other''s eyes.


    "This, this, this morning the refugees in the refugee shack injured one of our brothers, they were already done pacifying us, but who knew that a thorn would suddenly appear at noon, sending all the yamen runner s running. I ran far away, and even heard that they were going to rebel against the government!"


    "Trash!"


    Feng Cen was not as angry as Wang Hai to the point of fainting, but he was furious to the point of blowing his beard and glaring at them.


    "Humph!"


    With just a guess, it was related to these people. At this moment, Feng Cen was too busy to care about anything else as he shouted towards the exit, "Constable Zhou, bring your men and come with me!"


    Fortunately, he had Chief Constable Zhou stand guard outside the door. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have been able to find anyone.


    "Yes."


    "..."


    The more he read, the more bored he became. He found it to be much weaker than the novels he had read on the websites in his previous life, and inside were the stories of poor scholars and rich girls.


    She really wanted to know who wrote this, so she must go and puke at him.


    This dog-blooded story was only meant for girls who were ignorant of the affairs of the world. When it came to reality, you yourself lacked the ability to meet any good people.


    Right at this time, a large group of yamen runner came. They didn''t say anything at all and directly opened the door to the dungeon.


    Jin Weiwei smelled danger and retreated a few steps, then asked coldly: "Who are you people?"


    The yamen runner sneered: "We''ll know once we reach the place."


    "Let me go! This is the Lishui County Court, you can''t act recklessly! "


    Jin Weiwei struggled. She had a premonition that she might not be able to keep her little life if she went.


    These people were all barbarians, how could they listen to her? who was near her had already fainted with a swing of her hand.


    In a teahouse, Mo Ba landed in front of Little Rich Son, frowning deeply: "prince, do you really want Xu Ziqi''s men to take Miss Kim away?"


    Who is that Xu Ziqi person? How could Jin Weiwei not recognize a person if he was fierce? Jin Weiwei was a girl, how could he be okay?


    Didn''t the prince care about the Miss Kim? Why did he become so heartless now?


    "Send someone to follow us."


    Little Rich Son tightly clenched his teeth, the fist at his side never loosened, he obviously knew what kind of situation Jin Weiwei would encounter ¡­


    "prince!"


    Mo Ba still wanted to say something, but prince should not let down such a good girl.

 C184

    Mo Feng could no longer bear to watch, he went up and pulled Mo Ba away, and said: "prince can definitely control it by doing so, as a person of prince, do you not know?"


    Mo Feng was a little angry, did that woman really have that much magic? How long had Mo Ba followed her for? He had already spoken up for her.


    Mo Ba frowned: "If Xu Ziqi''s men were to attack viciously, Miss Kim would have died."


    "Get down."


    Little Rich Son released the fist by his side and spoke with an ice-cold tone that he had never used with Mo Ba before.


    Mo Ba clenched his teeth. If prince doesn''t save him, he''ll save him.


    Mo Feng pulled Mo Ba back, and said in a low voice: "You better not ruin prince''s plan!"


    Mo Ba frowned, threw off Mo Feng''s hand and left angrily.


    "prince, do you want to lock Mo Ba up first? I''m afraid he will disrupt prince''s plans."


    Mo Feng said worriedly. If the prince were to successfully grab hold of Xu Ziqi, then the unlucky one would be his Xu Family. He would be able to get rid of one of the emperor''s helpers, why would he waste all his efforts on a woman?


    "Let him watch."


    Only now did Little Rich Son turn around, to Mo Feng''s astonishment, he discovered that Little Rich Son''s eyes were completely rimmed with red threads.


    "..."


    This riot in the refugee shack had some effect, at least a lot of yamen runner were injured. In the end, Constable Zhou and his men killed the people leading the riots on the spot, which was how they managed to intimidate the group of rioters.


    When Feng Cen, who had settled all these matters, returned to the yamen, he found out that the three people in the cell had been taken away.


    "Are all of you a bunch of trash? There are so many yamen runner in the dungeon, can humans fly with wings? "


    At this moment, not only was Feng Cen angry, a chill also came from his spine, as if the prince was standing right behind him, taking his life.


    "Sir, when we arrived, the dungeon''s lock was opened without any damage. In other words, someone from the county magistrate court had taken them away."


    As Constable Zhou said this, his eyes would occasionally glance behind Feng Cen, the meaning clear. Feng Cen immediately understood and turned around to look at everyone.


    "Sir Xu, I remember that when I led some people to deal with those mob people, you were in the county magistrate''s office. As the county magistrate, you were in charge of the county magistrate''s office, and now that something like this has happened, I don''t want to give you an explanation!"


    Hearing that, Xu Ziqi became a little impatient. Since this county magistrate was filled with his men, this Feng Cen did not know how to handle the situation.


    "In reply to Sir, at that time I also took some people to deal with the mob, I really don''t know what happened, I should ask you, Master Yang, he was in the county magistrate court at the time."


    This wok is going crazy! Suddenly, someone ran in from outside and whispered a few sentences into Feng Cen''s ear. He frowned so much that he could pinch a fly to death.


    "You can go back first. I have matters to attend to."


    Xu Ziqi''s mouth carried a slight sneer. His other matter should have worked, with a few complex things mixed together, he did not believe that Feng Cen would have the energy to pay attention to anything else.


    After exiting the county magistrate court, the butler who had been guarding the side of the carriage all this time nodded to him.


    Waiting until Xu Ziqi walked closer, then said softly: Master, they are all locked in the prison, look, do you want to go over now?


    Xu Ziqi nodded. While Feng Cen was busy, he had to go and make the three of them admit his mistake. Only when he was in front of the emperor could he leave.


    "..."


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei opened his eyes and was surprised to find that he was standing there. His neck was in pain as if it was broken.


    F * ck you! This attack was quite heavy!


    Looking around, he realized it was a room that resembled a torture chamber. The surroundings emitted a dim light, and it should be dusk now, the light was yellow, giving Jin Weiwei the illusion that he had fallen into hell.


    Creak ¡­


    The rusted door was forcefully pushed open, and an intense light shone in from outside. It took Jin Weiwei a good while to get used to seeing that many of the torture devices in the torture chamber were rusted, some were yellow and some were black. There were even flies flying on them.


    Jin Weiwei felt a wave of nausea for no reason, and his nose was filled with the smell of blood.


    "Good Spiritual energy."


    "He can''t compare to Lord Xu."


    looked left and right, and realized that Cheng Yu and Wang Hai were both tied up not too far away from him.


    The one who spoke was Wang Hai, he had the pride of an official on his face, and the arrogance on his face made Jin Weiwei admire him a lot.


    "Sir Wang, I won''t make things difficult for you. As long as you put your finger on this piece of paper and sign your name, you will be immediately protected from torture. The other two are the same."


    Xu Ziqi laughed in an attentive manner, but Jin Weiwei felt that he was sinister, his back was chilled with the wind, the knife hidden within his smile was nothing more than that.


    The three of them did not answer, and Xu Ziqi''s face changed: It seems all of you are people that refuse to drink and will not be punished?


    As he spoke, he took the lead to walk in front of Jin Weiwei. His ice-cold hands patted Jin Weiwei''s white face.


    "Madame Jin, look at your little face, it''s not bad looking either. Tell me, if I were to cut into your smooth and small face, would it look better?"


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei clenched his teeth. This man was truly malicious, what a woman cared about the most was his face, if his face was bad, then so be it.


    "As a relative of the royal family, Lady Xu is also only a vile character that can threaten weak women."


    Seeing Xu Ziqi making a move on him, Cheng Yu panicked. Seeing Xu Ziqi''s unkind gaze roaming all over Jin Weiwei, he could not help but laugh.


    As expected, his voice caught Xu Ziqi''s attention.


    "I was wondering who it was, so it was Young Master Yu. Don''t worry, it''s your turn, but the person I want to touch the most is Madame Jin."


    Saying that, Xu Ziqi waved his hand towards the back, and someone handed over a whip with black and red patterns, Jin Weiwei''s legs couldn''t help but feel weak, Damn! Could this thing be made from snake skin?


    "Wait."


    Xu Ziqi just happened to swing his whip, causing a loud and clear sound to fall on the ground, bringing up a lot of land.


    Seeing this, Jin Weiwei felt his heart ache, and said: "You made us press our hands on it the moment you arrived. You didn''t even say what it was, how could we be willing to do it?"


    "Aiya, after all this talk, neither of you women have a sense of propriety. Listen up, the things on this paper are proof of your guilt. Today, you must sign even if you don''t want to."


    "Ha!"


    Facing Xu Ziqi''s threat, he only heard Jin Weiwei sneer: "A forcefully twisted melon is not sweet, does it not mean that Master Xu does not have any benefits?"


    "Benefits?" You... Can you even be my concubine or something? "


    Xu Ziqi''s face was filled with anticipation, but the look in her eyes was filled with disdain. Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but roll her eyes.


    Ah!


    Just as Jin Weiwei was in a daze, a whip suddenly lashed out at his chest, causing her to be unable to breathe for a long while.

 C185

    Damn, don''t you know the rules of the martial arts world? I haven''t finished speaking! "


    As the pain slowly returned, Jin Weiwei immediately cursed out loud. Unexpectedly, the whip came slashing down again, causing her to be unable to breath for a long while.


    Xu Ziqi stopped, "This is a whip made from a Scarlet Chained Snake, it is extremely flexible and poisonous. Madame Jin has tried this taste before, I just don''t know if you want to sign this or not."


    "Scram, old rogue!" If you have the guts to kill me, then let me sign it or not! "


    Jin Weiwei didn''t have the hobby of trying to please the enemy.


    "Xu Ziqi, if you are still a gentleman, come at us, against a weak girl, what does that matter?"


    Cheng Yu struggled a little, only to discover that his entire body was tied up tightly.


    From the window, Mo Ba watched nervously, but at the same time, he admired Jin Weiwei''s backbone. The two whips hurt him even when he looked at them, when he heard that the whips were highly toxic, Mo Ba almost couldn''t hold back and rushed in.


    However, Mo Feng had found him and told him that he was fine. As long as Wang Hai was injured by him, even a tiny bit of it, he would be able to rush in.


    Fuck!


    Mo Ba scolded inwardly. Who knew that that little bastard Xu Ziqi would make the first move on him!


    Jin Weiwei suddenly felt dizzy, he felt a suffocating sensation in his chest, he knew that the poison in his body had acted up.


    She was not willing to die like this, she had just started to like Little Rich Son, and was just about to step onto the beautiful white road, she had not even experienced more than a hundred years, and had not enjoyed anything in her life, so how could she just die like that!


    In the end, her consciousness began to blur. Vaguely, she seemed to hear a humming sound, urgent and worried. Her heart suddenly felt hot, and the suffocating feeling faded. She finally fainted.


    "Tsk tsk, the woman''s body is weak, she cannot take the hardships. Young Master Cheng, Master Wang, have you seen what happens to Madame Jin? If you don''t want to die like this, then sign it? "


    Cheng Yu opened his eyes wide and looked at Jin Weiwei, in his eyes there was disbelief, Jin Weiwei''s lips was black, his eyes were black, his head was drooping lifelessly.


    "It''s up to you if you want to kill me or cut me up."


    Cheng Yu tilted his head. He regretted it, if he had known earlier, he would have came out earlier.


    "You refused a toast and refused a forfeit!" Someone, use your torture tools! "


    Xu Ziqi waved his fan, his face was filled with determination, but in truth, it was fine if he died, but he loved to torture others, and the pleasure in doing so was something that others could not understand.


    Not long after, miserable cries sounded out from within the room. Mo Ba held in for a long time, then he waved his hand behind him, causing all the yamen runner s outside the torture chamber to rush in.


    Mo Ba didn''t bother with anyone else and directly rushed towards Jin Weiwei to save him, but discovered that his body was extremely cold.


    His heart turned cold, Mo Ba''s legs started to tremble, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and forcefully grabbed onto Jin Weiwei.


    "prince... Miss Kim doesn''t seem to be breathing. "


    Mo Ba swallowed hard and felt that his entire body was as cold as Jin Weiwei''s.


    The child he had been with for so long was gone just like that.


    Little Rich Son''s expression suddenly became unsightly, hugged Jin Weiwei and swept away like the wind, so fast that even Mo Ba couldn''t react.


    The place Little Rich Son brought Jin Weiwei to was the manor that Jin Weiwei bought. He remembered that the servants mentioned that the crops would grow extremely fast in the manor because of the spring water from the manor.


    He knew that Jin Weiwei had let out some of the water in the space just by thinking about it.


    Little Rich Son didn''t know how effective the water there was compared to the water in the space, but right now, he seemed to have no other choice.


    Jin Weiwei felt her heart burning. Other than her chest, the rest of her body was ice-cold, so cold that she seemed to not be able to move.


    Suddenly, a colder feeling crawled up his body, the frozen Jin Weiwei opened his eyes, and realised that he was in a pool of water.


    Only after recuperating for a long time did she finally see that this wasn''t water from the space, but water from the manor. She turned her slightly numb neck to the side, and the moment she saw Little Rich Son, the fear in Jin Weiwei''s heart grew even stronger.


    "Hold me."


    She wanted to call out the door. The water in this spring was not as good as the water in space.


    Little Rich Son hurriedly carried Jin Weiwei. The moment he picked up Jin Weiwei, a door appeared on the towering tree in front of him, and the light it emitted flickered and dimmed.


    "Enter."


    Jin Weiwei only had enough time to say that one sentence, before he fainted.


    The moment he entered, a red figure jumped onto the stage. It was only the size of a palm and its speed was so fast that Little Rich Son didn''t even have time to react.


    If Jin Weiwei woke up, he would realise that the agate''s body had shrunk a size and was even thinner.


    "Howl!"


    The little guy started to hide inside Jin Weiwei''s clothes, Little Rich Son''s face became even uglier, and in the end, he did not move, and quickly walked to the lakeside.


    After putting it down, all of Jin Weiwei''s clothes started to fall apart. Little Rich Son''s pupils contracted as he saw the little red shadow trying hard to peel off Jin Weiwei''s clothes.


    After pausing for a few seconds, Little Rich Son began to strip off Jin Weiwei''s clothes, until there was nothing left.


    Ah!


    Jin Weiwei cried out in pain, seeing this, the agate suddenly swam towards the center of the water surface, and after a while disappeared.


    The moment the agate disappeared, Little Rich Son astonishedly discovered that the originally jade-green pool water had turned bright blue. Jin Weiwei''s surroundings were still faintly red.


    "Pain ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei who was being carried by Little Rich Son could not help but cry out, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.


    "Cold ¡­"


    This time, Jin Weiwei hugged onto Little Rich Son''s entire arm, and even continuously pulled him down.


    Plop!


    Little Rich Son simply went into the water. The moment he went into the water, he couldn''t help but tremble twice as the water around him scraped against his body like blades, and was even as cold as the ice in the depths of a glacier.


    Jin Weiwei''s entire body leaned over, still shaking uncontrollably.


    Little Rich Son lowered his eyes and what entered his eyes was Jin Weiwei''s smooth and delicate back.


    In the depths of his eyes, there was not much desire, but guilt and pain. He took off his clothes in two moves and hugged Jin Weiwei while enduring the pain in the water.


    "You are not allowed to leave... "You''re not allowed to ¡­"


    It was unknown whether it was because Jin Weiwei was confused or because he was hallucinating in pain, but the two sentences that kept lingering in his ears made Little Rich Son''s heart feel even heavier.


    In the beginning, the two of them needed to take advantage of each other, and only after that did he have a good impression of Jin Weiwei. Now, when he heard Mo Ba''s words "dead", his heart couldn''t help but tremble, and his hands and feet became ice-cold. In that moment, he realized that Jin Weiwei was already indispensable to him.


    He didn''t know what would happen after Jin Weiwei finds out, but he didn''t dare to ask for the forgiveness of the person in his embrace.


    After an unknown period of time, the pain caused Little Rich Son to lose consciousness, and he finally woke up.

 C186

    After opening his eyes and getting used to it for a while, Jin Weiwei finally felt as if his entire body was being crushed by a wheel, and was about to fall apart.


    When she moved, the sound of water could be heard from her surroundings. There seemed to be something locking her waist down, preventing her from doing too much.


    "..." Oh my god!


    Jin Weiwei''s face suddenly flushed red. She, she, she was not wearing clothes!


    However ¡­ Little Rich Son was also not wearing any clothes!


    His two not considered impressive things were pressed against someone''s chest, and Jin Weiwei''s face was about to drip blood.


    Did she have to pretend that she hadn''t woken up?


    Did something happen to the two of them?


    What should he do? Her nose was bleeding uncontrollably.


    This strong line, this smooth touch... Great ¡­


    Jin Weiwei could not help but touch it, but what he touched was a gloomy and cold feeling.


    Except that the place she was hugging was hot, the rest of it was cold.


    Jin Weiwei''s face immediately changed. Raising his head, he realized that Little Rich Son''s face and lips were pale white, like the corpses in the morgue, were all covered in a layer of white frost.


    "Little Rich Son!"


    Patting Little Rich Son''s face, she realised that his face was stiff. Jin Weiwei struggled to leave his embrace, but realized that the strength in his hands was as strong as iron, she had to use all her strength to open his arms.


    Once they were ashore, Jin Weiwei couldn''t care about putting on clothes, he pulled Little Rich Son out of the water and leaned his head on Little Rich Son''s chest to listen.


    "Howl."


    Suddenly hearing the Agate''s voice, Jin Weiwei went to look around and discovered that the little fellow was lying within her clothes. The little one was as big as her index finger, and its cries were extremely weak.


    "Ah, Agate, how did you become like this?"


    Jin Weiwei panicked. He cared about both of them, why would something happen at this time?


    What should he do?


    It just so happened that at this time, the agate threw a lump of chewed food onto Little Rich Son''s body. Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up.


    "Agate, you mean this thing can save him?"


    "Howl!"


    The Agate gave an excited cry in response to Jin Weiwei''s words, and in the next second, it was lying on the ground and motionless. Jin Weiwei panicked and went to check the Agate''s Qi, discovering that he was still breathing.


    Even if Jin Weiwei didn''t understand, he could still tell that the agate was healing, and even associated it with the snake venom in his body. It should have been detoxified by the agate, otherwise how could it have shrunk and become so weak?


    imitating the Agate, Jin Weiwei dug out a pile of grass and chewed it until it was rotten and spread it over Little Rich Son''s body, until Jin Weiwei was suffocated by the bitter smell.


    After he finished spitting, he looked at the green oily Little Rich Son with a heavy heart. He looked at the pool water in the wrong direction and realised that only the middle point still had a crystal blue colour.


    Since the Agate was so weak, it must have used some kind of method to save her. That kind of bone-piercing pain had already been deeply engraved in her memory, and Little Rich Son was a normal person, so he definitely wouldn''t be able to take it.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but think of Little Rich Son''s illness again. Calculating the time, it seemed that he should also be sick.


    Jin Weiwei leaned towards Little Rich Son and took a whiff, smelling a faint musky smell, the creases on his forehead became deeper. Little Rich Son should be taking medicine everyday, but after going through this stimulation, would there be a relapse?


    Suddenly, that pair of tightly shut eyes opened. Jin Weiwei was startled for a moment, and touched Little Rich Son''s body, and realised that it was no longer as cold as before, and was so happy that he did not know what to say.


    "Stop touching it."


    Little Rich Son''s breathing was a little disordered, and his face was unusually red. His eyes swept around Jin Weiwei''s body.


    Jin Weiwei looked down, and the entire scene froze for a few seconds. Jin Weiwei''s face instantly flushed red, and after getting rid of Little Rich Son''s hand, he quickly put on the clothes.


    "What are these?"


    Sensing that there was a pair of burning hot eyes behind him, Jin Weiwei felt so embarrassed that he wanted to hit them. He turned his head and said: "San Qi, the herbs beside you."


    "About that, let''s go out first."


    After putting on his clothes, Jin Weiwei looked at Little Rich Son with a face that was completely red.


    Jin Weiwei might really think that it was nothing.


    How can you be so awkward ¡­


    Jin Weiwei clenched his teeth, looked at the agate, and confirmed that it was fine before he called for it to open the door.


    After exiting, Jin Weiwei slapped his face. Only then did he feel that this awkwardness, this shyness was a lot better.


    Returning to the city, he heard that Lishui County''s county magistrate, Xu Ziqi, had been arrested for conspiracy.


    Jin Weiwei specially inquired about the Ma Clan and found out that the Ma Clan had been robbed because of the poison in the rice.


    Jin Weiwei blinked her eyes, and patted her head. Why does it feel like this is a farce?


    She had only been in and out for a few days.


    Suddenly, his eyes blacked out, and Jin Weiwei fell down. Little Rich Son immediately picked him up and asked anxiously: "What''s wrong?"


    "My chest is a little suffocating."


    Jin Weiwei took a big gulp of air. Could it be that the snake poison had not been cleansed?


    "I''ll take you to a doctor."


    As he spoke, he carried Jin Weiwei and flew away once more.


    "Doctor? "How about it?"


    "There is still some lingering poison in this lady''s body that has yet to be cleansed. Have a good rest and eat more Blood Cleansing items for the next few days."


    old doctor stroked his white beard and said.


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei was relieved. If even space could not cure her poison, then he was really done for.


    "I''d like to take a look at the store."


    Jin Weiwei lifted his head, and looked at Little Rich Son with a slightly weakened expression.


    Jin Weiwei curled his lips. Little Rich Son''s face darkened, he did not compromise at all and rushed back home with the others in his arms.


    In the end, it ended with Jin Weiwei being forced to rest.


    In fact, Jin Weiwei was also worried about Little Rich Son''s body, hence he compromised conveniently.


    "..."


    Beijing.


    Ji Changhuai had received his son''s letter a long time ago, and only after knowing that Xu Ziqi was finished did the anger in his heart dissipate. If it wasn''t for Xu Ziqi, this dog, his son wouldn''t have been assassinated, and he wouldn''t have had a daughter-in-law who forgot his father.


    Wasn''t the little Emperor dissatisfied with him?


    Currently, the entire capital was saying that his Regent was arrogant and despotic, monopolizing power and not putting the emperor in his eyes?


    Don''t think that he doesn''t know who caused all these rumors. Back then, the little emperor married a woman three years older than him to become his empress.


    Who would have thought that apart from him, he would become a scourge? He originally had no intentions of gaining power, and he even wanted to wait for the young emperor to personally rule. He was roaming all over the world.


    But now, it seemed, that was not the case.


    Then, he would let the little emperor see what was called Regent!


    In the golden throne room.


    The emperor''s hand that was touching the dragon throne tightened. One day, he would definitely kill this man that was riding on his head!


    "Your majesty, a message came from the Lishui County, that it was who had instigated the refugees in the county and created a riot, attempting to rebel against your majesty. This is a report, and last night, it ended up in your subject''s hands.

 C187

    The emperor slightly raised his brows. He suddenly had a bad premonition, and couldn''t help but look at the people from the Xu Family, only to see that they looked completely dumbfounded.


    After cursing in his heart about his trash, the emperor smiled at Ji Changhuai and said, "Hand it over."


    Ji Changhuai stopped smiling and stepped into the tall position. Even the Chief Eunuch, who had come to receive the report, was pushed away.


    The emperor tightly held onto the handle of the dragon throne and unconsciously retreated a few steps. The moment the smile on Ji Changhuai''s face disappeared, he felt the pressure.


    "Regent! What do you want to do!? "


    "This king was afraid that others would tamper with the imperial report, so I personally presented it. I hope that Your Majesty can examine it."


    Ji Changhuai stooped down, his mouth exposing an extremely cold smile, and bent down to respectfully put down the imperial report.


    The emperor swallowed his saliva. He was so scared that he could not even maintain a smile.


    "So that''s how it is. Thank you for your concern, Imperial Uncle ¡­"


    The moment Ji Changhuai retreated, the emperor''s face revealed a sinister expression. The moment Ji Changhuai turned around, he returned to his usual meek and submissive appearance.


    In the end, he was still a little disappointed. He thought that the emperor was someone good, but who would have thought that after all these years, he was the one who raised such an ingrate.


    If it was like this for him, let alone the common people of the world, the late emperor, who was unclear, could not be blamed on him, Ji Changhuai.


    After the emperor read the imperial edict, his face changed. The man he had sent was actually in Ji Changhuai''s hands, making him lose out to someone he had groomed for such a long time!


    Trash! They were all trash!


    He raised his hand and threw the imperial report in front of the Martial Imperial Duke Xu Yuan. He shouted angrily, "Martial Imperial Duke, how are you going to explain this matter?!"


    Xu Ziqi had originally wanted to please him because he had assassinated Ji Jingzhi, but who knew that the Regent would turn around so quickly and immediately find trouble with Xu Ziqi.


    He had spent so much effort to protect Xu Ziqi, but now it was like this!


    The things on top of it almost made him dizzy. It had only been a month since Shen Che and the rest went to Lishui County, so how did such a thing happen to his youngest son?!


    "Your majesty, unjustly accused! "My son is loyal to the emperor, how could he do such a thing? Someone must have framed him, I hope the emperor can look into this!"


    Seeing the look in the emperor''s eyes, Xu Yuan immediately became spirited. As long as the emperor still looked at his Xu Family, then everything would be fine.


    Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Ji Changhuai sneered, and said: "What a loyal man. If I remember correctly, Xu Ziqi had already murdered a member of the imperial family, and the emperor was kind enough to not kill him, and even made him an official. How is it that Duke Xu forgot about it so quickly?"


    Ji Changhuai laughed, but it was extremely threatening.


    F * ck!


    Previously, when he had just finished curing the poison, and the soldiers the Little Emperor had surrounded the Duke Palaces with were not completely cleared, he could only let Xu Ziqi go. Now that he had gotten such a good opportunity, how could he possibly let it go?


    They had almost taken his son''s life, and even wanted to escape. Wasn''t this Xu Family too whimsical!


    "Regent, I know you have some views towards this child, but we haven''t investigated this matter clearly yet. It''s too early to come to a conclusion!"


    Ji Changhuai raised his eyebrows. Speaking of this Xu Yuan, he had actually raised him up and prepared to leave him for the Little Emperor to use.


    No one knew who he was putting on an act for!


    "Duke Xu''s words make some sense, so, let''s take Shen Che to the capital first, your majesty, ever since I''ve recovered, my body hasn''t been as healthy as it was before, so I''ll head back now."


    Once they enter the capital, I will see if he will peel a layer of skin off Xu Family!


    With that, he left without waiting for the emperor''s approval.


    The emperor''s face was filled with rage. His gums were about to crack from biting! This Ji Changhuai was looking down on him more and more!


    "Retreat ~ ~"


    Seeing that the emperor was not in a good mood, the eunuch serving him hurriedly called out. Only then did the emperor leave with a dark expression.


    "..."


    When he woke up, Jin Weiwei''s spirits were lifted. When he woke up early in the morning and found that the kitchen was making noise, he guessed that Little Rich Son was hungry and went to the kitchen to look for food.


    In the end, she found that there were already a few dishes on the table, they looked extremely light, causing Jin Weiwei to feel nauseous. She liked to eat spicy food, even if she did not eat spicy food for a day, she felt that there was no taste in her mouth.


    "When did your taste become so light?"


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son turned around with the Soup Dumplings in his hands.


    Jin Weiwei looked carefully and he almost couldn''t hold back his internal injuries. He reached out and pulled the dust off Little Rich Son''s face: "Did you fight with the stove? "Haha ¡­"


    After laughing for a while, Jin Weiwei stopped, because his complexion looked more and more strange.


    "The doctor said to eat something light."


    The serious Jin Weiwei didn''t even want to remind him. Looking at the light dishes, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but ask, "Did the doctor tell you that light isn''t light?"


    Little Rich Son lowered his eyes and frowned; he was actually feeling wronged.


    Jin Weiwei could not bear to watch Little Rich Son like this, he picked up a set of chicken eggs and placed them in his mouth. In that moment, Jin Weiwei felt like his brain was about to explode.


    After chewing a few times, Jin Weiwei immediately swallowed them down. Seeing the look in Little Rich Son''s eyes, he grinned, picked up a big chopstick and put it into Little Rich Son''s bowl.


    "Actually, the food you made is quite delicious. Taste this, it''s very good."


    As the saying goes, being happy alone is not as good as being happy together!


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son''s eyes lit up, and the moment the egg entered his mouth, his expression became extremely strange.


    "..." "It doesn''t taste good."


    It''s just that I know it''s not tasty, that''s why I''m making you eat it! Idiot!


    Immediately after, Little Rich Son poured all the dishes on the table and dragged Jin Weiwei out.


    "What are you doing?"


    "Go out and eat."


    A certain someone might have a shadow over his culinary skills, and his expression had always been unsightly.


    "..."


    After eating the light breakfast, Jin Weiwei went over to the official''s notice board. He discovered that the official had already made a declaration that and his Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop were wronged, and following that, the imperial government gave him another allocation.


    Jin Weiwei believed that when the food arrived, the grievances of the citizens would be resolved even faster, especially the refugees.


    "This official''s family, if there''s no problem with the Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop, then there won''t be any news about it. That Madame Jin doesn''t even care about his own father right now, how could he possibly be a good person?"


    Just then, a voice that did not fit in the group sounded out, nearly angering Jin Weiwei to death. He almost wanted to go up and beat her up.


    F * ck you!


    He really didn''t believe that it was a lie, but this person''s words had also reminded her, Jin Dabao''s corpse was indeed outside. If she did not deal with it soon, there would be rumors of it later, since Jin Dabao was her biological father on the surface.

 C188

    Thinking about Jin Weiwei, she went to the Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop s and found that the servants that she bought were all guarding inside the shop.


    Seeing her appear, all of them revealed excited expressions. Great, they no longer needed to be sent to the government.


    The Origin Treasure welcomed the guest and sized Jin Weiwei up without batting an eyelid.


    "Mistress, are we opening for business now?"


    Jin Weiwei shook his head and asked: "Have you guys gone to find Jin Dabao before?"


    "In the backyard."


    Hearing that, the ingot frowned, if Jin Weiwei saw Jin Dabao''s death, what would happen?


    "Did you bring it back?"


    Jin Weiwei''s heart suddenly felt heavy, talking about the fact that she and Jin Dabao did not have much relationship, but after being together for so long, the last time they had met they were still living people, but this time they did not move nor scold each other. Thinking about it, they were still a little depressed, and could only sigh about the unchangeable nature of things in the world.


    "Take me to see it."


    Jin Weiwei''s expression became gloomy, he rushed to the treasure gently, and sensing the change in Jin Weiwei''s emotions, Little Rich Son pulled her hand, and patted her gently.


    "I''m fine."


    Jin Weiwei laughed, signalling that he was fine, then headed to the backyard.


    This Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop brought about a small backyard, which Jin Weiwei felt was useless, hence he changed it into a resting area for the servants.


    When he walked closer to the backyard, he could smell a strange aroma. Jin Weiwei could faintly smell the scent of alcohol.


    The melancholy in his heart vanished.


    Seeing Jin Dabao''s death, Jin Weiwei''s sad mood also disappeared.


    When she revealed that naked appearance, Little Rich Son had already covered her eyes.


    This Jin Dabao... He should have died on a woman''s belly, right?


    This captivating expression and the appearance of being naked made Jin Weiwei feel a wave of disgust.


    Just say that Ma Chengfu, in order to seize the Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop, wrongly accused the Madame Jin of killing his own father. Now, the Madame Jin wants to buy a good house to bury his father, because the father of the Madame Jin wanted to live in a good house even when he was alive!


    Jin Weiwei covered her nose, and instructed the ingot on the side. The only thing she could give Jin Dabao was a grand funeral, and it could be considered as her returning the favor of raising him.


    Little Rich Son could not help but look at Jin Weiwei with an appreciative look in his eyes.


    Yuanbao couldn''t help but glance at her. To be able to think of a reasonable way to restore her reputation in such a short period of time, she was an extremely intelligent woman.


    "Accompany me to buy a house."


    Jin Weiwei pulled Little Rich Son''s sleeve, and didn''t open his eyes to look at Jin Dabao. It wasn''t that she despised him, it was because she felt a little sad.


    Little Rich Son nodded and asked softly: "What do you want?"


    Jin Weiwei took a deep breath, his eyes slightly reddening: "You need to have a more refined atmosphere, and also don''t need to be too big, if you have the face to welcome guests, you will wake up."


    Thinking about it, the sadness in Jin Weiwei''s heart faded a little. She was now a rich woman, and she already had a request for a place to stay.


    Yuanbao watched the two of them leave. His eyes darkened, and he too left.


    I wonder what method Little Rich Son used to bring her to see the two manors in the afternoon?


    One of them turned out to be the Ma family from before. Now that the Ma family was raided, the mansion was naturally taken away by the government. These taken away residences were all sold out, so the money they earned was used for the public.


    Jin Weiwei curled his lips, these officials really knew how to take advantage of him.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but close his eyes after entering the old house. This place could really blind her!


    This golden pillar was exactly what she wanted. This Ma Chengfu was such a special son of a b * tch! Just how many commoners had he caused?


    She reluctantly touched the pillar that was embedded with a layer of gold and followed Guan Ya to the back garden to take a look. Afterwards, she was refreshed to see three times.


    This Ma family''s madam is lacking in love, right? This garden is full of peonies. That''s right, peonies are all sorts of things!


    The expensive ones were cheap, and almost filled every corner. Jin Weiwei did not like watching this flower.


    Walking through the entire residence, the more Jin Weiwei looked, the more he liked it. Although the residence was small, there were still quite a few pavilions, a lotus pond and water.


    She could understand why a rich person like Ma Chengfu would not move.


    However, this kind of good place made Jin Weiwei a little afraid. Would the price be too high?


    "Madame Jin, how is it? Are you satisfied with this place?"


    The official was grinning like a fox.


    Jin Weiwei coughed and asked, "This price ¡­"


    "Not expensive, just five ¡­"


    The officer extended five fingers and saw Little Rich Son staring at him coldly. One out of the five fingers were missing, and after seeing that he was dissatisfied, he immediately lost two more.


    Little Rich Son then retracted his gaze, Jin Weiwei''s face was filled with shock, how much was this?


    The official said with a sullen face, "Not much, just two thousand taels."


    It was a loss, the peonies in the garden alone were worth a thousand taels ¡­


    However, the identity of the man behind this madam was a mystery. Before coming here, Zhixian had always told him that he must treat her with respect and not offend her.


    He wondered if he would be scolded to death if he went back like this.


    Jin Weiwei counted with her fingers. She had five thousand gold, after taking away two thousand, there was still three thousand gold, hmm... She wasn''t completely broke, so she was willing to pay an acceptable price.


    "Mm. Alright, I''ll do it when I have the required documents."


    With regards to the thing that he was determined to obtain, Jin Weiwei had always been straightforward.


    Shangguan Ya immediately smiled and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He was really afraid that Jin Weiwei would not be satisfied with the price.


    After pressing the documents, Jin Weiwei hugged the land deed and kissed it again and again, causing a slight smile to appear on his lips: "You''re not giving it to me?"


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei protected the land deed like a baby and snorted, "No! What if one day we break up and you take the house away? I can''t cry to death. "


    Little Rich Son laughed helplessly and followed him.


    The next day, the entire Lishui County was spread. The previous day, Ma Chengfu had killed Jin Weiwei''s father, and the purpose was to deal with him because the price of the Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop was too low.


    The reason why Jin Weiwei chose Ma Chengfu was entirely because Ma Chengfu had done too many evil deeds.


    Sure enough, the rumors were all spread towards Jin Weiwei, who then brought Jin Dabao from the Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop to his new residence with great fanfare.


    The rumors of Lishui County had changed again. They said that Jin Weiwei was filial, that he knew his father liked big houses, that he spent all his wealth on a beautiful house, and bought a house for Jin Dabao''s funeral.


    Suddenly, Jin Weiwei became everyone''s pitiful target. All the good things that she did previously were revealed, such as making porridge for a month, and it was even more delicious than the other houses.


    Furthermore, Jin Weiwei had helped the old man and all of the good things that he had done were all because of Jin Weiwei.


    On the other hand, the person in question was arranging a spirit hall. According to the rules of the funeral procession, when a person dies, they can only stop for seven days, while Jin Dabao had already been dead for countless days. According to the rules, this kind of situation could only stop for three days.


    The original Ma Mansion and the current Jin Mansion were all decorated with white flowers, looking extremely desolate and desolate.

 C189

    She was just pretending to be pitiful. She just wanted everyone to know how pitiful she was, not only was she being framed, she had even lost her father.


    Sometimes, even Jin Weiwei himself felt that he was a good and hypocritical person.


    "Hmm ¡­" In any case, there weren''t many good people in this world, so she was fine with being neither good nor bad.


    Jin Weiwei who was crying because of the onion in the mourning hall thought.


    She really wanted to throw away the onion in her sleeve, but there was nothing she could do about it. Although she was sad, it was not the sadness of a daughter towards her father, but the sadness of a normal person towards the passing of a life.


    She wasn''t an actress, so she just cried whenever she wanted to. She just came up with this idea.


    Jin Weiwei also had a bit of reputation in the Lishui County. There were many people who had offered incense to him in the past two days, initially, there were some who wanted to get closer to Jin Weiwei, but seeing how sad he was crying, they all sighed and left.


    The last one to arrive was Cheng Yu and Zhou Manager, the two coincidentally bumped into each other. Jin Weiwei slid the onion to his elbow and wiped away two tears, revealing a teary smile.


    "Young Master Cheng, Zhou Manager."


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes were swollen red, he looked like he was forcing a smile.


    From what he knew, Jin Weiwei did not have a good relationship with Jin Dabao, why would he cry so bitterly?


    Thinking about the discussions that had taken place in the past two days, Cheng Yu immediately understood that this was probably a method Jin Weiwei used to redeem his reputation in the shop.


    Really ¡­ Good move.


    "Don''t be too sad Madame Jin. There is no banquet that doesn''t disperse. People have to keep looking forward."


    Zhou Manager''s face was full of consolation, the onion in his sleeve reeked of smoke that hit Jin Weiwei again. He couldn''t control himself, and tears started streaming down his face again.


    "Mn, thank you Zhou Manager."


    At this moment, she could not say a word. At night, she must pick out a smaller onion from the pearl jade. Day after day, her eyes would be swollen from the smoke.


    Zhou Manager thought that she was really sad and left after saying a few words of consolation.


    Jin Weiwei could only watch, she admired the Zhou Manager. In the few days that she had entered the prison, the small merchants that cooperated with her could hide as far away as they could, but this Zhou Manager, who did not know when to stop, did not have any relationship with her.


    It was completely a merchant''s way of doing things, but there was two parts of benevolence and righteousness in it. If it was her, she would do the same.


    "Weiwei, you''re very powerful."


    After throwing that sentence, Cheng Yu also left. Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.


    "Stay away from him."


    A voice suddenly sounded beside his ear. Jin Weiwei turned his head to look and discovered that it was the Little Rich Son who had similarly reddened eyes.


    Seeing him like this, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but curse in her heart. It was the same onion that had been smoked for a few days, she couldn''t even control her tears.


    Even more irritating was the fact that he was the one who wanted the smoked onion.


    "As for my business dealings, I won''t count."


    Jin Weiwei sniffed, but couldn''t help but cry.


    Little Rich Son turned his head to look at her, and reminded her in a low voice: "You don''t have any business dealings with him."


    Jin Weiwei was startled, looks like it?


    Ever since Cheng Yuan''s incident, the cooperation between the two families had lessened. After this incident, everything seemed to have ended.


    The next day was the day of Jin Dabao''s funeral. This time, Jin Weiwei had to return to the original location, because the ancestral grave of Jin Family was located there.


    Jin Weiwei made a lot of noise and even sent people to repair the ancestral tombs for a while.


    Servants had long since cleared the long street, and civilians and refugees lined both sides of the road.


    Jin Weiwei stood at the front, holding Jin Dabao''s spirit tablet. His eyes were unbearably red and swollen, and as he walked, he was crying.


    With Little Rich Son following him from behind, his eyes were red as well. With the music of mourning, the scene was as sad as a lonely daughter that her father had no one to rely on.


    Many of the commoners cried, no one said that Jin Weiwei was not filial, they were forced, their father was killed, they were told, and they did not say anything, how could they not pity him.


    Along the way to the village, Jin Weiwei earned enough tears from everyone. Once he returned back to his house, he took out the onion from his sleeve.


    "Quick, quick. Pearl Jadeite, quickly remove the swelling in my eyes."


    Pearl Jadeite immediately went forward and rubbed the two eggs on Jin Weiwei''s eyes.


    "It hurts, softer."


    The temperature of the egg was too hot, so Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but to let out a sigh. Only today did she realize that just standing there silently crying was just a waste of energy.


    On the second day, Jin Weiwei got Yuanbao to transport eight hundred kilograms of rice in the manor, and placed a signboard at the Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop entrance.


    On it, it said that Jin Weiwei had decided to feed her father for 800 kilograms of virtue, and even mentioned that it was better for the poor.


    This action had garnered a great impression from everyone. No matter how hypocritical Jin Weiwei was, he would not be able to release so much rice.


    Jin Weiwei was dressed in plain white, with only a single white flower at the side.


    "Auntie, how many people are at home?"


    Jin Weiwei smiled gently and deliberately lowered his voice, just like a weak and delicate woman.


    The aunt cried when she saw Jin Weiwei, "My daughter, don''t be sad, is it good or bad?


    Jin Weiwei nodded his head, feeling touched, he poured two extra spoonfuls of rice for his aunt.


    "Aiyo, there''s no need for so much. There''s just me and my grandson at home, there''s no need for so much."


    "Auntie, that''s not a lot. Let me eat something good. I''ll grow up quickly."


    This time, Jin Weiwei really wanted to cry. There were too many unfair things in this world.


    The moment the food was finished, Jin Weiwei closed the door. She still had something important to do, so she was not in a hurry to open the shop.


    After changing into a set of light blue, simple and elegant clothes, she pulled Little Rich Son along and left to meet Wang Hai.


    "Lord Wang, long time no see. Your complexion is much better now."


    The moment she saw Wang Hai, Jin Weiwei started to flatter her, but she didn''t forget that Wang Hai was a pedantic person, so flattery was accompanied with a little sadness.


    "Madame Jin? I heard about it, and I''m sorry, but I wonder if there''s anything I can do for you? "


    Wang Hai treated Jin Weiwei much more politely. It was mainly because the man beside her was too much of a threat, regardless of his identity or aura.


    Jin Weiwei''s expression instantly lit up: "Sir Wang, may I ask, how does one enter the Lishui County''s merchant guild?"


    Dazhuang''s Chamber of Commerce had either obtained the approval of the government or given out a large amount of money, so it was easy for people to enter.


    As for Jin Weiwei, as long as she didn''t have money, and was picky, she had no choice but to look for Wang Hai.


    After all, no matter how one looked at it, she was still considered "Wang Hai''s person".


    Wang Hai squinted his eyes, and instantly saw Little Rich Son staring at him coldly. Recalling Little Rich Son''s identity, Wang Hai felt a sense of dread.


    "Madame Jin also wants to join the Lishui County Chamber of Commerce? All the merchants in this Chamber of Commerce have great influence on Lishui County. I wonder if Madame Jin ¡­ "

 C190

    Jin Weiwei clenched her teeth, and smiled happily in her heart. She had taken a huge risk for Wang Hai, but this old man was still trying to make things difficult for her.


    "Master Wang, I know that it isn''t appropriate to mention these things now, but for my father, I have spent almost all of my savings, that''s why I made such a request. Look, Master Wang, when the refugees from Clear Water County rushed over, I had been feeding for a month, and I also had the matter of the Lishui County Merchants donating food ¡­"


    "Cough, cough ¡­" Madame Jin, you don''t need to say anymore. "


    Seeing that Little Rich Son''s eyes had narrowed, Wang Hai immediately coughed twice to hide his embarrassment. If he had known at that time that Jin Weiwei was prince''s woman, even if he had ten guts, he wouldn''t dare do it.


    Jin Weiwei turned around and glanced at Little Rich Son, and realized that he was staring at her the whole time. She couldn''t help but feel weird, she seemed to have already changed when she saw Little Rich Son looking at her.


    Now, Jin Weiwei started to become curious about Little Rich Son''s background. The one who had inherited the title of prince was the prince, and the one who inherited the title of duke was also the prince. Looking at Wang Hai''s appearance, Little Rich Son was most likely the prince''s son, and was one of the most powerful people.


    If he didn''t say it, the two would be embarrassed. Forget it, if she were to ask around for information on which princes had the most authority today, she would probably guess correctly which one was the most powerful.


    "From the looks of it, Madame Jin has also contributed a lot to the Lishui County. I will have someone to draft a document for you. Tomorrow, you will go and check with the President of the Merchant Union, Young Master Cheng."


    Wang Hai laughed out loud. Since Jin Weiwei wanted to enter that much, then he would enter. If this merchant guild was that easy to manage, there wouldn''t be that many people who would quit just like that.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s face immediately lit up as he looked at Little Rich Son happily. It seemed like bringing Little Rich Son here today would be quite useful.


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei was so happy, the corner of Little Rich Son''s lips curled up slightly, carrying a bit of love.


    In the afternoon, Tian''er was a little cold. The leaves in the garden had become a lot more desolate and empty. From time to time, a few withered yellow leaves would float down. It was extremely lonely.


    Jin Weiwei sold all the peonies in the garden, that''s right, they were sold, if not he would not know, but after selling them all, Jin Weiwei realised how much these peonies were worth, she had sold them for a total of 1500 taels of silver.


    It was not that Jin Weiwei did not know how to react, it was just that she was short of money! He was in need of money. Two pots were left, one for the red peony and the other for the white peony.


    Looking at the two pots of peonies, Jin Weiwei seemed to have thought of something, and said: "It''s almost time for the Mid-Autumn Festival!"


    "Yes."


    Little Rich Son was startled, he raised his head, and realised that Jin Weiwei was extremely excited, and could not help but to laugh.


    "What do you want to do?"


    "I''ll order some iced mooncakes and use them for activities."


    With that, Jin Weiwei stood up and was about to walk out. His eyes seemed to be filled with money.


    "¡­"


    Not far behind her, Little Rich Son lost the smile on his face.


    Mo Ba, who was hiding in the darkness, could not hold back his laughter. He had realized that Jin Weiwei was a money grubber and would not let go of any opportunities to earn money.


    He only felt pity for his prince. Even though he clearly wanted to properly spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Jin Weiwei, he found out that she was still busy.


    Little Rich Son looked back coldly, as he tactfully shut his mouth.


    Before going out to order the Ice Skin Mooncake, Jin Weiwei had gone over to Cheng Yu''s place, because she remembered that it seemed like she had not entered the account yet. After dinner, I forgot about it.


    Cheng Restaurant.


    "Weiwei, congratulations."


    After he was done, Cheng Yu raised his head and revealed a sincere smile.


    Jin Weiwei nodded, he was not surprised with the way the two addressed him, when they were in jail, he had become more proficient at it and changed his name to Jin Weiwei, which Jin Weiwei did not refute.


    However, the expression of the following Little Rich Son changed, and he looked at Cheng Yu with cold eyes: "Young Master Cheng, please have some self-respect."


    Jin Weiwei looked at Little Rich Son strangely. This man had a dark face ever since he came out of his house, how did she offend him?


    The man''s heart became complicated. As expected, he was also a needle at the bottom of the sea.


    "Young Master Cheng, how about you call me Madame Jin from now on? Suddenly ¡­ "I''m not used to it."


    Jin Weiwei smiled faintly, a little helpless. What could she do, she couldn''t just let her man lose face outside, right?


    Cheng Yu''s expression was a little stiff. He thought that once he left the county''s yamen''s prison, his relationship with Jin Weiwei would be slightly different. Turns out, in Jin Weiwei''s heart, his relationship was only this much.


    "Alright, tomorrow I will hold a banquet at the First Pin Building to introduce you to people who know the Chamber of Commerce."


    After he recovered from his shock, he saw Little Rich Son standing beside Jin Weiwei. Cheng Yu regained his senses, no matter how much he liked her, she still had a husband.


    "Alright, thank you Young Master Cheng."


    Jin Weiwei nodded her head, her happiness could be heard from her words, she had finally entered the true business circle of Lishui County, at least she did not waste her efforts.


    "..."


    "Okay, what''s with the dark expression? He only called out my name, it''s not like he had any other intentions."


    After exiting the Cheng Restaurant gate, Jin Weiwei was dissatisfied seeing that Little Rich Son still had a stinky face.


    Unexpectedly, Little Rich Son only glanced at her once, and his expression became even colder.


    "That''s your maiden name."


    These words were said with gritted teeth.


    What happened to her maiden name?


    Wasn''t taking out a name for others to call?


    Jin Weiwei had a blank face. She felt that she hadn''t done anything wrong.


    But while she was in a daze, Little Rich Son had already left.


    Ah!


    Jin Weiwei suddenly stopped. She suddenly remembered that the maiden names of ancient women could only be called by those who were closest to them, such as her parents and her husband.


    It can''t be that, can it?


    Jin Weiwei smacked his hands on his head in frustration. In this vile feudal society, he still did not reduce his harsh treatment on women!


    In the evening, Jin Weiwei personally made a lot of dishes to celebrate her entering the Lishui County Chamber of Commerce, but he discovered that Little Rich Son was actually not there.


    Assi...


    Jin Weiwei frowned, why was this man so stingy, how could he be angry for so long?


    "Little Rich Son!"


    When he finally found Little Rich Son''s figure in the flower garden, Jin Weiwei, who was originally filled with anger, after seeing such a lonely back, held it in for a while.


    "Alright, don''t be angry. I know it''s wrong to let someone call me by my maiden name. There definitely won''t be a next time, alright?"


    This was the first time he had coaxed someone, and it wasn''t that easy to coax them.


    Little Rich Son did not reply. He couldn''t help but feel awkward. She doesn''t have any experience in coaxing people, okay?


    Furthermore, she was a man, how could she know what he was thinking?


    Walking to the front, he realized that someone''s face was a little better. Jin Weiwei secretly rolled his eyes, seeing that she did not beat someone up today.


    "hubby ~ don''t be angry!"


    Jin Weiwei suddenly hugged Little Rich Son''s waist and said this in a soft and tender voice, but her tone of voice made even her skin crawl.


    Just as she was about to run away, a pair of hands suddenly appeared on her waist. It was warm and itchy.

 C191

    Huh?


    Jin Weiwei was stunned. He raised his head and fell into a shadow.


    The corner of his lips suddenly felt warm, and Jin Weiwei''s pupils contracted. What''s going on?


    "..." It was only then that Jin Weiwei realized what had happened. Little Rich Son had kissed her!


    He slowly opened his eyes, only to see his eyelashes trembling. Was he nervous ¡­


    After waiting for a while, Jin Weiwei found a problem. It was the first time for Little Rich Son ¡­


    Jin Weiwei hesitated, but suddenly grabbed Little Rich Son''s head and agilely pried open his lips.


    Little Rich Son''s body stiffened, he obviously did not expect Jin Weiwei to be like this, he had only seen Jin Weiwei''s lips moving up and down, and found it very tempting, and was unable to control himself.


    Although Jin Weiwei had never been in a relationship before, he could learn this sort of thing just by watching movies.


    Her movements were a little rough, but Jin Weiwei liked to see Little Rich Son looking embarrassed.


    "Ugh ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly he hugged her tightly. Like a storm, she fell into a passive state.


    After that, Jin Weiwei felt a little dizzy. It might have been her first time, but she couldn''t change her breathing.


    Do boys have an instinct for such things? Originally, he wanted to see how embarrassed Little Rich Son looked, but in the end, he had become that pitiful guy.


    "You, don''t you have any concubines in your residence?"


    Little Rich Son saw that she was already an adult, a child from a rich family. By the time she was sixteen or seventeen, wouldn''t the elders of the family already be making preparations?


    Thinking about it, Jin Weiwei felt a bit sad, she wouldn''t have to share her man with others when the time comes.


    Little Rich Son panted slightly, deepening the hug, denying it: "No."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s mood immediately became good: "Are you still angry?"


    "I''m not angry."


    "Then I''ve made so many dishes, why don''t you eat with me?"


    "Alright."


    The two of them held hands and left. Under the extended light, the sweet smell of honey permeated the air.


    Mo Ba was so shocked that he could not regain his senses for a long time. He pushed Mo Feng to the side and asked: "Did I get some fantasies just now?"


    Mo Feng''s face was unnaturally red, as he still put on an incomparably serious face: "Isn''t it normal for matters between men and women to happen?"


    "Oh, it seems that you''ve had a woman before."


    Mo Ba looked at Mo Feng with interest. He was so familiar with Mo Feng, but he really had never seen a woman with Mo Feng before.


    Unexpectedly, Mo Feng''s face was flushed red. With an angry face, he said: "Dang, of course there is. Alright, prince is already far away, hurry up and catch up."


    Mo Ba stroked his beard, why did he feel that Mo Feng was lying?


    "..."


    Early the next morning, Jin Weiwei woke up in Little Rich Son''s warm embrace. Regarding the matters last night, Jin Weiwei felt a little helpless.


    Someone was drunk, obviously to celebrate the opening of her shop, but he was drunk and refused to leave her room.


    There was no other way. Jin Weiwei could only take care of Little Rich Son washing up, and then ¡­ She was pulled onto Little Rich Son''s bed by him, and just like that, an entire night passed.


    Don''t talk about it. It''s cold, and their beds are quite warm.


    However, her shop was open for business today, so she had to get up early ¡­


    Sigh, money really isn''t easy to earn.


    Jin Weiwei heard the noise coming from behind and stopped wearing the clothes. He turned around and smiled, "Did I wake you up?"


    Little Rich Son crawled up and helped her put on her clothes. "It''s time to wake up."


    Seeing him dressed, Jin Weiwei sighed.


    "It''s still early, so you don''t have to go."


    Little Rich Son was pretty much like the pearls inside the shell in his eyes, they were all in her mouth, don''t think that she didn''t see them, these past few days when they were walking on the streets, they had been looking at Little Rich Son more and more, causing her to feel a sense of crisis.


    "I''ll accompany you."


    Hearing that, the corners of Jin Weiwei''s mouth couldn''t help but widen, why was he so happy hearing these words?


    After the two of them had breakfast made from pearl jade, they left in high spirits.


    After exiting the manor, Jin Weiwei stretched his back in a good mood.


    The meat shop was small to begin with, so Jin Weiwei let Little Rich Son go there.


    Now that she had joined the Chamber of Commerce, it was only right that she could go out to sea. If she were to go out to sea with the rice noodles, how much money would she earn?


    Just thinking about it made him happy.


    "I am indebted to all my fellow villagers. Due to the matter earlier, my Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop was closed for a few days. Now that it has been reopened, the price of the Rice Noodle Roll will be the same as usual!"


    Jin Weiwei''s outfit today looked a little more joyous, but after considering the reasons behind Jin Dabao, it was still a little unattractive. However, Jin Weiwei''s spirit seemed to be a lot better.


    As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd burst into cheers of disbelief. Even if the Ma Clan''s Rice Noodle Stick went bankrupt, with the current Lishui County, Rice Noodle Roll was scarce, and no one would say anything about the price rise.


    Jin Weiwei was even selling it at a fair price, so the crowd that wanted to curse Jin Weiwei would feel embarrassed to do so. Jin Weiwei''s actions, to put it nicely, were a good person, but to put it bluntly, he was just a fool.


    Unexpectedly, Jin Weiwei felt foolish looking at these people, because her rice was not bought, but grown by herself.


    Two days ago, she had Yuanbao bring another batch of people along with her. She looked at the warm weather and ordered, coincidentally, the store of rice in the manor was running out.


    So, in the rice noodle shop she put on white, black, millet, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other things.


    Just eating these kinds of food was enough to fill one''s stomach, and there was a lot of it stored inside. It was enough for a new batch of rice to mature.


    However, she had to find a way to get some rice noodles from other places as well. If she were to grow them herself, she would have to buy other land.


    After a while, he heard the sound of firecrackers. Jin Weiwei smiled as he cut off the red silk cloth in his hand.


    After she finished cutting, she discovered that Little Rich Son was standing not far away, looking at her. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and the look of her was as beautiful as a painting.


    Seeing the commoners rushing in to buy things, Jin Weiwei laughed, then turned and walked towards Little Rich Son.


    "The butcher''s shop is open for business?"


    "Yes."


    He couldn''t have missed her so quickly, right?


    "Come, I''ll bring you to see my baby."


    Jin Weiwei seemed to have thought of something as he pulled Little Rich Son''s hand and squeezed into the store.


    When he was squeezed so tightly that no one could be seen, Little Rich Son suddenly panicked a little. Other than holding onto Jin Weiwei''s hand, he could not feel the existence of Jin Weiwei at all.


    Up until the second floor, Jin Weiwei hadn''t even had time to catch his breath before he was locked in Little Rich Son''s embrace.


    "Ugh ¡­" "What''s wrong?"


    "I missed you."


    "I''m right here."


    Jin Weiwei didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    "You are not allowed to leave."


    "Yes, you too."


    Feeling Little Rich Son''s low pressure, Jin Weiwei responded softly.

 C192

    Maybe she was scared because of Xu Ziqi capturing her.


    "Alright, so many people are watching."


    Jin Weiwei was mistaken, when he realized that there were people already paying attention to them, he immediately became embarrassed and reminded Little Rich Son in a low voice.


    "Yes."


    Only then did Little Rich Son let go of Jin Weiwei''s hand and pulled her up the stairs.


    In that moment, Jin Weiwei had an illusion, and it seemed ¡­ It seems like this for the rest of my life will be good ¡­


    On the third floor, Jin Weiwei brought Little Rich Son to a row of machines that were covered by a long cloth.


    Seeing Little Rich Son''s doubtful expression, Jin Weiwei smiled mysteriously and in one breath, he removed the cloth covering the machine, revealing a row of weirdly shaped machines.


    "What is this?"


    Little Rich Son frowned, he seemed to have seen this thing before. The officials of the imperial family in charge of the seas seemed to have brought this item to the little emperor before, but they had still given it to their father.


    "This is a treasure. In the future, I''ll have to rely on it to earn big money and reach the peak of my life."


    "Baby?"


    "Yeah, I''m going to use it to squeeze oil, but the time is not right, I''m going to do it in the beginning of next year."


    Jin Weiwei sighed, she still had to wait for a long time. Her current Lishui County could be said to be similar to a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness.


    "I still have more."


    Little Rich Son suddenly raised his head.


    Jin Weiwei was surprised, he had initially thought that this thing would only be used by a few people, he did not think that it would be used in the capital, but upon thinking about Little Rich Son''s identity, he was relieved.


    "There''s not much more to it. We can talk about it next year. Let''s start with the rice noodles this year."


    Jin Weiwei laughed, patted the machine and pulled Little Rich Son downstairs.


    She still had to go to the banquet that Cheng Yu was hosting in the evening, and she needed to dress up properly.


    "..."


    "Young Master Cheng, you are really silly. That girl is just a silly little girl. Where did she get the qualification to enter the merchant guild?"


    An old man stomped the cane in his hand with a face full of grief.


    "That''s right, Young Master Cheng, this girl did not pay. How did she get into the Chamber of Commerce? When did it become so easy to enter?"


    Another person said.


    Cheng Yu sat in the seat of honor, and ignored them. He understood the intentions of this group of people.


    The Lishui County Chamber of Commerce had a large ship to set out to sea, and the size of each merchant''s space depended on their position and the amount of money they paid.


    Now that there was one more person, not only did it threaten their position, but it also occupied the territory of the ship. Of course they would be anxious.


    As soon as Jin Weiwei came up, he heard that the people inside were dissatisfied with her, and he could not help but smile. Her guess was right, this group of people did not welcome her.


    With the two Pearl Jadeite Servants by her side and Little Rich Son, no one would be able to come to a banquet like this one.


    But since Little Rich Son insisted on following her, she had no other choice.


    If they wanted Little Rich Son to guard the carriage, they would have to act as doormen.


    Since he could not change her mind, Jin Weiwei decided to just let her be.


    When the argument inside was extremely intense, Jin Weiwei first knocked on the door, and a moment later, a attendant came up and opened it.


    "Everyone seems to be very dissatisfied with me entering the Chamber of Commerce, huh?"


    Jin Weiwei also did not hide anything. Today, she was wearing a light blue, waist-length jacket, and the other hairpin was the jade hairpin Little Rich Son had given her.


    It was a luxury that kept a low profile. If she was not being filial, Jin Weiwei really wanted to change to red, to look even better while wearing red. It would have intimidated this group of people.


    The people who said Jin Weiwei just now had their mouths shut, but their faces were not looking good.


    Walking to the only empty chair, Jin Weiwei was surprised to find that it was beside Cheng Yu''s. Did he want her to sit as second in command?


    Cheng Yu really dared to praise her.


    "Don''t know the rules!" This is improper! "


    "Oh? Boss Wang, are you talking about me? "How can I not understand the rules and become unruly?"


    Heh, she wanted to show her that these people were not qualified enough. Before she came, she had already made clear all of the people''s eight generations of ancestors.


    "Not just anyone can sit on that chair. When Madame Jin came in, he did not even greet the seniors of the Chamber of Commerce, he just did not understand the rules, that''s not proper at all."


    After Boss Wang finished speaking, he heard Jin Weiwei''s cold laugh: "Today, we''re not going to discuss matters concerning the merchant guild, right?"


    Everyone looked at each other. It wasn''t true.


    "So what if that''s not the case? Doesn''t that mean you don''t need to understand the rules?"


    "Since it''s not about the Chamber of Commerce, and Young Master Cheng is welcoming me into the Chamber of Commerce for today''s banquet, then, what''s wrong with me sitting here? If Boss Wang does not know how to treat guests, I can teach you. "


    She was the guest today, and the banquet was originally organized for her. If she really sat at the end of the table, then she would be the laughing stock.


    Everyone''s face turned red, today''s banquet seemed to be held by Cheng Yu to welcome Jin Weiwei, the place that Jin Weiwei was sitting at was extremely reasonable, it was truly impossible to find any problems with it.


    "In that case, why haven''t you paid your respects to all of you?"


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei laughed: "Greeting? What was a gift? They stood up and looked at each other with respect. I have been in here for so long, who among you all besides Young Master Cheng has gotten up? To put it bluntly, anyone who can enter the Chamber of Commerce and sit here is of equal status. Since all of you do not have my relatives, why would I lower my status? "


    The words were logical and logical again, causing the faces of everyone to turn purple. Jin Weiwei no longer looked at them with contempt, nor did he look at them with contempt.


    Jin Weiwei was very happy to see such a gaze, because by doing so, it meant that she was a threat in the eyes of others, in other words, a person with ability.


    "Madame Jin, you have just entered the merchant guild today. This old man will first have a cup with Madam."


    The one who stood up was a big fellow, but his eyes revealed a sense of shrewdness. It was clear at a glance that he wasn''t someone to be trifled with.


    Jin Weiwei searched through his mind, only to realise that when she came in, he was just sitting and watching the other people argue, and just now, he had only been staring at her.


    A feeling of having been seen through made Jin Weiwei feel bad. She did not like the look of this uncle!


    "Naturally."


    Jin Weiwei laughed, and then signaled the pearl behind him to fill his cup, and then drank the wine in front of everyone.


    The scene was indescribably grand and graceful.


    Everyone looked at Jin Weiwei in a new light. This was not the first time for them, there were a lot of girls that came out to do business, but the women who knew how to drink were different.


    This kind of woman was either raised by a merchant family to succeed him, or she was extremely ambitious. Since Jin Weiwei had no powerful background, it was natural for him to be classified as a second person.


    Everyone felt threatened once again.


    "Young Master Cheng, I would like to thank you for your welcome today, I hereby toast to you."


    Jin Weiwei poured another cup of wine and stood up to face Cheng Yu.


    Cheng Yu was surprised, she usually only saw Jin Weiwei who was sly, fickle, and extremely intelligent, this was the first time he saw someone as mature and steady as Jin Weiwei.


    Really ¡­ Very interesting.


    After drinking, Jin Weiwei poured another cup and looked at the crowd with a faint smile.

 C193

    "Some unhappy things happened today with everyone. However, since everyone came, it means that they have to acknowledge me. I am very happy, and here, I would like to toast everyone."


    After he finished speaking, he ignored everyone else and continued to finish the cup of wine.


    Jin Weiwei''s smile was extremely threatening, she had a scale in her heart, respect is mutual.


    This action made many of the people present unhappy, what did Jin Weiwei want to do?


    They did not express anything and just finished their wine. If this wasn''t coercion, then what was it!?


    Seeing that everyone was hesitating, Cheng Yu laughed, it was true that he was holding a grudge, he had given them a good show of strength.


    Cheng Yu stood up, finished drinking his wine, and smiled at Jin Weiwei. No matter how dissatisfied the remaining people were, they would not dare to oppose Cheng Yu.


    Just like that, until the end of the banquet, no one looked down on Jin Weiwei anymore.


    "Wei ¡­" Madame Jin, you must be tired today. Go back and rest well. "


    Jin Weiwei was already dizzy, it was as if she went back to her previous life, just like how she dealt with those old perverts who were all the old drunkards. Every time, she would faint a little, but after the table was done, she would pretend that she was not drunk.


    Jin Weiwei had well-preserved this habit of his. If not for the fact that he saw her staggering two steps forward, he would have thought that she was not drunk.


    Originally, he wanted to send Jin Weiwei back, but the moment he stepped out of the door, he saw Little Rich Son standing guard outside.


    "Weiwei" also went down his throat, what right did he have to care so much about others?


    "If it was a man, he shouldn''t have let a girl suffer so much!"


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei was pretending not to be drunk, Cheng Yu''s heart ached. If he could live a good life, as a woman, who would want to come out and run?


    Then, she looked at Little Rich Son. No matter how she looked at him, he looked like a pretty boy who had just eaten for free.


    "Young Master Cheng, you''ve worked hard today. Go back first."


    Jin Weiwei walked two steps in front of him and greeted him as if nothing had happened.


    The pause was so rapid that even listening carefully, he still felt that something was amiss.


    When Jin Weiwei was drunk, in order to not look drunk, he would stop for two seconds whenever he wanted to speak with his big tongue.


    Little Rich Son took her in his arms and looked at Cheng Yu with ice-cold eyes: "She likes it, please have some self-respect in the future."


    Cheng Yu was startled, followed by fury, how could there be such a shameless person in the world!


    When he arrived at the carriage and saw that there were no familiar faces around him, only Little Rich Son, his originally clear eyes suddenly blurred.


    "hubby!"


    "Yes."


    Little Rich Son pulled her wildly moving hands, his ice-cold face had a faint crack.


    "Love you so much."


    Pushing away Little Rich Son''s hands, Jin Weiwei kneeled down and pounced on Little Rich Son''s body, and gave him a hug of satisfaction.


    "Weiwei..."


    "Let me tell you, those old men are too annoying today. They are all noisy like a frog and are even unhappy with me. You didn''t see, I made them angry, their faces the same color as the bottom of the pot, it''s so enjoyable! "Haha ¡­"


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son hugged Jin Weiwei, and asked in a low voice: "You like it that much?"


    "No, I like money. I like the money I make."


    Jin Weiwei was a little dizzy. He felt that there was a cherry swaying right in front of him.


    In fact, Jin Weiwei did the same.


    Little Rich Son froze as someone on his lips sucked continuously, causing his heart to itch.


    Even after pulling Jin Weiwei''s body out, Little Rich Son was still hugging him tightly.


    "Weiwei, money, power, I can let you have it, but do you want to stay in the backyard?"


    Little Rich Son''s voice started to become hoarse and his eyes started to turn red. Perhaps Cheng Yu''s words had reminded him, such a life was not what Jin Weiwei wanted.


    That... Could it be that with his promise, Jin Weiwei would be able to return to the capital with him?


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei frowned, and struggled for a while: "You want to raise me as a canary?"


    Using all his strength to break free from Little Rich Son''s grasp, Jin Weiwei curled his lips, "I don''t want to spend my whole life in the backyard, becoming a tool for the birth of a child. I also need to pretend to be virtuous and virtuous every day, to fight against other women for a man. Such a life is simply too scary! I don''t want it! "


    As he said that, he actually distanced himself extremely far from Little Rich Son.


    Little Rich Son carried her back and said: "Are you willing to spend your life alone?"


    "But I don''t want to be a canary. If you want to be one, then go, and leave as soon as possible. I, Jin Weiwei, will never be able to stay in the Back Residence for the rest of my life!"


    Jin Weiwei wrinkled his nose, a wave of bitterness assaulted his heart, and his mouth curled down. Men are indeed the same!


    "You can go!"


    Pushing away Little Rich Son''s hands, Jin Weiwei hugged the window as she cried. She was too wronged, the hubby that she raised for so long was all someone else''s!


    Mo Ba, who was driving the car, was shocked for a long time. Why should I refuse to let you stay home comfortably?


    Turning his head to look at the calm and unreasonable Mo Feng, Mo Ba felt a little sour. "If there''s a man willing to help me with this, I''ll definitely agree to it."


    The corner of Mo Feng''s mouth twitched. He, too, was somewhat surprised, wasn''t what prince had given him the most what women wanted in their lives?


    "Are you not a good Long Yang?"


    Mo Feng asked coldly.


    "..." "Ahem, no."


    Mo Ba turned his head, a little guilty.


    "If that''s not the case, then sit still and don''t spout nonsense."


    He didn''t know if it was just an illusion on Mo Ba''s part, but why did he feel that Mo Feng was angry?


    In the carriage, Little Rich Son had spent a lot of effort to pull Jin Weiwei out of the window.


    "What are you doing? I told you to go!"


    Jin Weiwei was crying unhappily, unlike those noble ladies in the capital, who cried with tears and were extremely fake.


    In fact, Little Rich Son felt that it was still funny, but the grievances were real.


    "If you want it, I''ll give it to you."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei was quiet for a moment, when he suddenly snot into Little Rich Son''s chest, and asked: "Then you''re not going to train me into a canary?"


    "Yes, I can do whatever I want."


    Little Rich Son stroked the ends of Jin Weiwei''s hair and said: "But, you''re not allowed to drink alcohol."


    "I have to drink when I come out for the party, it''s not like I can control myself!"


    "¡­"


    Even Jin Weiwei noticed the low pressure in the carriage and could not help but say: "Then, every time I go out for a gathering, I always tell you the time and place. If you come to pick me up, nothing will happen."


    "..." "Right."


    Seeing the corners of Jin Weiwei''s mouth deflating further, Little Rich Son finally came to a compromise.


    "hubby is great."


    Jin Weiwei smacked Little Rich Son''s face, and then leaned on Little Rich Son''s shoulder, feeling a little drowsy.


    "Weiwei."


    "Mm ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei raised his eyelids, but did not open them.


    "In the future, call me hubby."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei moved his lips, and his head slipped down.


    "..."


    The next day, when Jin Weiwei woke up, he found that his clothes had been changed and his head did not hurt.


    Was she drinking a fake bar yesterday?


    Why was there no trace at all?

 C194

    "Weiwei."


    With the sudden appearance of a head on his shoulder, Jin Weiwei was shocked.


    "Didn''t you go back to your own yard last night?"


    Aiyo, what''s the point of staying with her all day?


    "Cold."


    Saying that, he wrapped his arms around Jin Weiwei''s waist, like a gangster.


    Jin Weiwei felt goosebumps all over his body, he immediately turned around and hugged Little Rich Son''s face to carefully examine it a few times.


    and said, "You''re the one who''s drunk, not me, right? Is your brain damaged? "


    Unexpectedly, a certain someone''s hand seemed to be pushing forward an inch as he wrapped his arm around her waist. A pair of serious and clear eyes suddenly became burning, and he harbored ill intentions.


    "Last night, you said ¡­ "Hm."


    Jin Weiwei quickly reached out his hands to block Little Rich Son''s words, his face completely red.


    It''s over ¡­ She got drunk and went crazy again.


    Could she have done something to Little Rich Son last night?


    "I have to go to the store today. You, you stay at home, you''re not allowed to go anywhere."


    Aiya!


    Why did she say that!


    Since he had already said it, it was too late to go back on his words. Jin Weiwei gritted his teeth, put on his clothes and quickly left the manor.


    "Hey, what happened to Mistress?"


    Jadeite was carrying two people''s breakfast over. When he saw Jin Weiwei rushing out, his face was flushed red, but he did not know why.


    In the end, Pearl laughed secretly and pointed at the Purple Wei Xuan that Jin Weiwei resided in.


    Jadeite Inch understood and snickered along with him.


    Jin Weiwei was indeed busy today, and only when she arrived at the Rice Noodle Roll did she realize that she had not eaten, and was extremely hungry.


    "Yuanbao, go to a bun house on the right side of Changning Street that''s 700 steps below Cheng Restaurant. I want two soy sauce and a bean curd."


    Jin Weiwei stood on the staircase and called for Yuanbao, and ordered.


    The ingot furrowed its brows for a moment before nodding its head.


    "Un, hurry up."


    Since she still had time to buy things with her ingots, she went up to the second floor to take a look. In the future, she would be selling oil.


    When he arrived at the second floor, there was no noise from downstairs. Once again, Jin Weiwei unconsciously thought about what happened yesterday.


    The reason why those old men made things difficult for her yesterday was because she didn''t have a powerful background.


    However... Background was not only something that one was born with, but something that one could earn by relying on one''s own abilities.


    Jin Weiwei squinted for a long time before suddenly seeing the butcher selling meat below, who was shouting for passersby to buy his meat.


    Got it!


    With a whoosh, Jin Weiwei went back downstairs and anxiously waited for the ingot to return.


    She had a big plan that needed him to take care of. This would affect her position in the chamber of commerce in the future.


    If a person wanted to succeed, they would have to leave this place!


    After waiting for a while, he finally returned with the ingot, and Jin Weiwei almost immediately rushed up to him with a stride.


    "Yuanbao, you''re finally back!"


    He gave the steamed bun and tofu brain to Jin Weiwei.


    "Mistress, the meat bun and tofu brain that you want."


    Jin Weiwei placed all these things on a cabinet at the side. "Aiya, none of this is important right now."


    You will use the name of the Madame Jin of the Lishui County Chamber of Commerce to put up a sign in the downtown area. You will write down the general contents therein, that the Madame Jin is interested in supporting the meat peddling business with potential prospects and the rice noodle business, if you are interested, go and register at the Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop, then you will have to personally interview the Madame Jin. "


    Jin Weiwei was extremely excited when she spoke, she had already formed a plan in her mind, once it was realized, she would become the big boss of the Lishui County.


    "Ah, wait, go to the county magistrate court and tell Sir Wang about this idea of mine. Also, send some news to Cheng Residence."


    Jin Weiwei called over Yuanbao for orders. She mainly asked Yuanbao for help because she was afraid that the people from the merchant guild would cause trouble, and they were all old geezers.


    "..."


    "What?" You said that Jin Weiwei had put up a sign in the downtown area, that she wanted to support the Rice Noodle Seller and Meat Seller in Lishui County? "


    The old man surnamed Wang who made things difficult for Jin Weiwei yesterday immediately got up from the reclining chair, and straightened his back.


    "Is this woman crazy? Do you want to do something that is too tiring to please? "


    No one knew what Jin Weiwei wanted to do, but at least some of the things that Jin Weiwei was doing looked like a loss on the surface.


    Supporting small vendors, they really couldn''t see how they could earn any huge amount of money, and might even be forced to post on the wall.


    Jin Weiwei directly ignored all these rumors and went to do this matter with enthusiasm.


    What she was doing now was similar to a modern investment company. Before investing, it was extremely risky, and she might even lose everything she had. However, when she returned the money, she would definitely cause others to go crazy.


    Although the people she chose were just commoners, who didn''t have the ambition to earn money?


    As long as there was one, it would be of use to her. Once she succeeded one day, this would be a huge web of connections. When that time came, no one would be able to shake her position.


    However, she forgot one thing. She only had 4500 taels of silver with her right now. If she were to invest, it would be a little too little.


    "Mistress, Shopkeeper Wu has brought a few people with him. He said that he wants to discuss business with Madam."


    Jin Weiwei knew that someone would come, but he never expected that it would be so fast.


    "Bring them in."


    Walking into the hall, Jin Weiwei saw that the residence was empty, and thought that she should buy more servant girls, or else how could she pretend to be a rich family?


    "Mistress."


    The ingot came in, then it lowered its head towards Jin Weiwei and stood at the side.


    Following closely behind was two men and a woman. They were both a bit restrained.


    "Take a seat."


    Jin Weiwei revealed a friendly smile, and slightly nodded towards the third day.


    "Madame Jin, I am Jin Dazhuang, the butcher of the East Street. Speaking of which, I came from the same village as Madam, but I didn''t come here to get close to Madame today. I, I raise fifty pigs at home, all coiled up on the hill. I just wanted to see if there''s really such a good thing. "


    The one who spoke at the beginning was a slightly greasy young man. His dark face had a hint of red, and his words expressed that he was stuttering. It was obvious that he was nervous.


    Jin Weiwei nodded his head, he began to think and asked: "Since you have fifty pigs, you should have enough money to open a shop, why are you still selling meat here?"


    Upon hearing this, Jin Dazhuang''s face turned red like a pig''s liver. He said, "To be honest, Madam, I have an old mother who has been sick in bed all this time. That''s why I kept setting up stalls."


    "Then your fifty pigs are not grown up? I think that a lot of people would buy the entire pig. If it''s not enough, you can sell ten little pigs and open a shop. That would be more than enough to treat my mother''s illness. "


    After listening to Jin Dazhuang''s words, the smile on Jin Weiwei''s face became much less, and his tone became slightly more polite.


    F * ck you!


    She, Jin Weiwei, was that lucky?


    Jin Dazhuang held back for a long time before he actually cried, "Because my old mother doesn''t want me to sell it!" Those are all 50 little pigs, what are you going to eat next year if you sell them? "


    "See the guests out, Yuan Bao."


    Jin Weiwei sneered, and looked towards the ingot.

 C195

    "Why? Madame Jin, everything I said is true. Give me money, and I will definitely make a lot of money."


    Jin Dazhuang was anxious. If it wasn''t for Yuanbao stopping him quickly, he would have cried while hugging onto Jin Weiwei''s leg.


    Jin Weiwei gave a cold snort, "If you still want some face, get out of here right now, and don''t let me expose you!"


    Jin Dazhuang was stunned and his expression immediately changed. "Pui!" "If you don''t want to give, then don''t, as if laozi is willing, why are you pretending to be a good person here?"


    After he finished speaking, he was about to leave.


    "Stop him!"


    Jin Weiwei felt a surge of anger. Damn it, this was typical giving face but not taking it!


    Although he knew that such a thing would happen, Jin Weiwei was still furious that it actually happened.


    When Jin Dazhuang, who originally wanted to curse, saw Jin Dazhuang''s expression, he immediately turned and walked in front of Jin Weiwei, ready to curse him out loud.


    "Ha!" Since you are so shameless, then I won''t be polite anymore. Since you said you came from the same village as me, then why didn''t I know that there was a seriously ill old man in the village? As for the fifty pigs you spoke of, all of them were little pigs. If you were truly filial, the old man wouldn''t bear to part with you. I only have one conclusion now, and that is that you are a scammer. Do you think that my, Jin Weiwei''s, money is that easily deceived? "


    I''ll return it to you if I give you face!


    In the end, Jin Weiwei did not say this. There were two people by her side, so she had to pay attention to their appearances.


    Jin Dazhuang''s complexion alternated between green and white as he was robbed by Jin Weiwei. In the end, it was still his ingot that forced him out.


    Jin Weiwei, who had returned to her seat, sighed. Looking at how it was today, she had to buy some servants, hmm, after asking these two people, she told Yuan Bao to take care of it, and even a butler.


    "You two, this swindler has been chased out. Can you two tell me in detail what are you two doing? What plans do you have for getting the money? "


    Just now, Jin Weiwei''s fierce tone had scared the two of them into a corner, and the man was speaking sincerely, but who would''ve thought that Jin Weiwei could see through them with a glance, now, Jin Weiwei was untouchable in their eyes.


    "Madame Jin, I sell soybeans and tofu on the streets. I wonder if I can be considered a rice noodle ¡­"


    The blue-robed lady said in a reserved manner. Her hands kept scratching at her knees, seemingly very nervous.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei could not help but smile: "Of course it''s okay, tell me in detail what your main purpose is."


    "..."


    After the conversation, Jin Weiwei found out that the woman was a widow. The husband had been dead for many years, and needed to raise a pair of children as well as raise the elderly.


    However, he still didn''t have enough money to spend every month. His son had worked hard enough to become an Elementary Scholar, so naturally, he had spent a lot of money.


    She wanted to ask Jin Weiwei for four hundred gold and buy a shop. She wanted to pay it back in instalments.


    Jin Weiwei rejected it, suggesting to the woman that she should not return the money, but that she should take 10% of the profits every month, and guarantee that no one would cause trouble, and that if the money went bad, she would help out a little.


    At first, the woman thought that he had sold his shop. He was unwilling, but after Jin Weiwei explained it to her for a long time, he told her that he was only cooperating with him, that there was no such thing as selling business or being a servant.


    The lady agreed, and Jin Weiwei called Tao Xiaoqing and the lady over to check the place together.


    Even though she was helping others, she wanted to make money, so she naturally had to investigate.


    First, if the pigs were raised well, he could bring the pigs into her meat shop. This way, although the cost of the meat in her shop was a lot higher, but if he carefully calculated the cost of the workers who hired her, it would still be very worth it.


    Secondly, Jin Weiwei could reveal the method of making the sausages to him, but not only did he have to sign a confidentiality agreement, the sausages would also be marked with the symbol of Jin Meat Shop. Furthermore, Jin Weiwei needed to draw twenty percent of the profit, and he could also take back the sausages.


    As a result, half of the butcher''s shop was actually Jin Weiwei''s.


    But there''s no such thing as a free lunch, is there?


    The man was a little hesitant, but Jin Weiwei suggested that he should go back and think about it, that she should immediately send people to investigate the place.


    After talking with the two of them, it was already time for dinner.


    "Yuan Treasure."


    The Origin Treasure was only temporarily by Jin Weiwei''s side. Once Jin Weiwei was done, he would naturally go back to the Rice Noodle Roll.


    The ingot turned around, a pair of deep, cold eyes made it hard to see the emotions in his eyes.


    "This is two hundred liang, you should go to the Fang Xing to buy guards, servants, girls, it''s best if you have the experience. Also, you don''t have to go to the Mask anymore, you can stay in the mansion as a housekeeper. I''ll follow by my side when I go out."


    Jin Weiwei passed over the Elemental Treasure silver bills and she felt a wave of relief. Right now, she no longer had to hide her jewelry, and the silver notes in her spatial space, so it was much more convenient for her to use them.


    "..." "Alright."


    After thinking for a while, the ingot answered.


    She wanted to take a look at what Pearl Jadeite had cooked. She thought that the two sisters were born into a poor family, but she didn''t expect Pearl to have learnt to cook, and even her little sister, Emerald, had great culinary skills. She fell in love with them after taking a bite, so the two of them became her personal servant.


    At night, Little Rich Son who had disappeared for an entire day returned. Coincidentally, Pearl Jadeite had finished making dinner.


    "You sure know how to pick time."


    Jin Weiwei wrinkled her nose, she actually wanted to ask Little Rich Son where he was going.


    However, she dared not ask as she was afraid that he was doing some important state secret because of his identity.


    She was just a small businessman.


    "They''ve gone to collect the evidence of the Xu."


    The current Little Rich Son could already understand the meaning behind every gaze and sentence of Jin Weiwei. Strangely, he didn''t have this ability in front of others, but only towards Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up, and asked: "It''s that Xu Ziqi''s family?"


    She seemed to have heard that Xu Ziqi was the current Empress''s elder brother, and that her father was some kind of duke.


    and it doesn''t seem to be compatible with the current Regent.


    "Yes."


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes rolled around, and decided to not ask her these questions that seemed very close to her, asking her some realistic questions.


    "How many princes are there on this beam?"


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son raised his head to look at her. He was not sure if it was because of his imagination, but she felt that there was a trace of a smile in his eyes.


    "Father is the current Regent."


    Pow!


    Jin Weiwei was so scared that he dropped his chopsticks and grabbed his chest. It scared her to death!


    Seeing Jin Weiwei like that, Little Rich Son''s face changed, and he immediately supported Jin Weiwei: What''s wrong?


    Jin Weiwei waved his hand and finally recovered. He looked as if he was crying and laughing, "So you are Regent!"


    Little Rich Son was startled for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and patted Jin Weiwei''s head with a trace of pampering.


    "Father is very well, there is no one in the house."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei turned to look at Little Rich Son, only to realize that his eyebrows were raised into a smile, and had intentionally reminded her that there was no one around.


    Jin Weiwei''s face flushed red, she bit her lower lip.

 C196

    So he knew her thoughts. She had thought that with Little Rich Son''s status, there must be a lot of rules in the family.


    She didn''t expect him to dispel her with a single sentence.


    "Then what is your name?"


    Jin Weiwei suddenly became curious, it was not a simple name like the one she gave.


    "Ji Jingzhi."


    Little Rich Son picked a piece of Red Braised Meat into Jin Weiwei''s bowl and said softly.


    "..." "It''s so nice to listen to."


    It was much better than what Little Rich Son had said.


    "Whatever Weiwei wishes to call out, that''s what it is."


    Seeing Jin Weiwei''s lonely look, Little Rich Son knew what was going through her mind.


    "Then I ¡­" Or did he call you Little Rich Son? "


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei raised his head, his eyes shining.


    "Yes."


    Hearing this answer, Jin Weiwei even had a taste of food.


    At night, Jin Weiwei returned to his own courtyard. Seeing that Little Rich Son had followed him here, he could not help but ask, "Didn''t I prepare a huge courtyard for you? "Why don''t you go?"


    "We are husband and wife."


    Little Rich Son reminded her in a low voice.


    "What about husband and wife? Were you still unwilling to sleep with me? "


    Jin Weiwei stuck her waist, and displayed a very unyielding attitude. Actually, she was very weak, but also had some expectations in her heart.


    Pah pah pah!


    What was she looking forward to? Last time''s marriage was so sloppy, she actually wanted to have a proper wedding. Only then would she be able to enter the bridal chamber, okay?


    "Weiwei, I won''t touch you."


    "Why are you sleeping with me if you don''t touch me?"


    Jin Weiwei''s face immediately turned red, she suddenly thought of a famous sentence from her previous life: I''m just messing around outside, I''m not going in ¡­


    Forget it, Jin Weiwei''s face was even redder. What was she thinking about these days?!


    "It''s cold."


    "No."


    She didn''t want Ji Jingzhi to look down on her. As the saying goes, marry her and run away to become a concubine.


    "I want to see that... "Little thing."


    Little Rich Son took another step closer with a puzzled expression on his face.


    "In the space. Red."


    Little Rich Son reminded her again.


    Jin Weiwei came to a sudden realization, curled his lips and thought for a long time, then reluctantly said: "Then come in.


    Speaking of which, since last time, she hadn''t seen an agate and didn''t know how the little guy was doing.


    The moment Jin Weiwei turned around, the corner of his mouth hooked up into an extremely faint smile.


    Mo Ba and the rest stayed outside the courtyard. Originally, Mo Feng wanted to go in, but he was stopped by Mo Ba, asking him what would he do if the two masters did something intimate?


    After hearing that, Mo Feng did not go in.


    "Tsk tsk, our prince also has such a shameless time."


    Mo Ba sighed twice, but his gaze did not escape Little Rich Son''s smile of success.


    "They''re husband and wife, what''s wrong with that?"


    Mo Feng asked curiously: What kind of woman does prince want anyway?


    "Stupid, did they get the support of their elders? Does prince have a palanquin to marry him back? No, no, no. prince''s actions are to ruin my lady''s reputation! "


    Mo Ba sneered, maybe that was what Jin Weiwei thought, she was a smart girl.


    "Just who are you?"


    Mo Feng was enraged, gritting his teeth, as though he wanted to beat Mo Ba to death.


    "We''re from prince, but aren''t I telling the truth?"


    When Mo Ba finished speaking, he immediately ignored him.


    Mo Ba rubbed his head with a strange expression on his face. These days, not only did he have a woman''s heart that was as tender as the bottom of the sea, he felt that this man''s heart was even thinner than a needle. In just a short few days, he had already offended Mo Feng multiple times.


    "..."


    The two of them entered the room under the dubious gaze of the Pearl Jadeite. Jin Weiwei sighed.


    Once inside, Jin Weiwei looked around for the appearance of the Agate, only to see a whole section of 3 or 7 people being gnawed on, as if they were broken holes.


    The other half of the meat was still not eaten, but Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but hold her forehead. This was probably the result of not being fed anything, her medicine ¡­


    "Agate!"


    "Ugh!"


    Jin Weiwei raised his voice and shouted, a red figure suddenly scuttled over.


    Staring at the agate on his palm, he was still chewing on the remaining 3 to 7 stalks of grass. His eyes were glistening and wet, making him look extremely adorable.


    It looked a bit bigger than last time, but it was still much smaller than when he was born.


    Suddenly, a hand came and grabbed it, pulling it away from Jin Weiwei.


    "It''s called an agate?"


    "Yes."


    "Ugh!" "Ugh!"


    The agate at the nape of his neck cried out in dissatisfaction, yet was unable to bite Little Rich Son.


    "This... Red Musk Deer? "


    After looking for a long time, Little Rich Son recognized them and turned to look at Jin Weiwei. "Where did you get this from?"


    Jin Weiwei shrugged: "Suddenly ¡­ It just popped up like this, I don''t know what''s going on either. "


    "However ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said: "The musk in his body should be able to save you, but he hasn''t grown up yet, furthermore ¡­ He''s going to die if he takes the musk ¡­ "


    As he said that, Jin Weiwei snatched the Agate over.


    "..." Just take care of it. "


    Little Rich Son frowned, he shifted his gaze away from the agate and spoke softly.


    "It''s getting late. Shall we rest early?"


    nodded his head and took out the sweet potato from his chest pocket. Speaking of which, Jin Weiwei blushed, she had asked the pearl jade to take the sweet potato, and it was first brought out cooked, not to mention what he had said to her.


    Later on, when she was about to give birth to them, the two girls'' expressions changed. They even specially washed her clean and picked her out for a long and big one.


    What were these two girls thinking!


    Half of the sweet potato in his hand was given to the agate, while the other half was planted into the ground by Jin Weiwei.


    "Agate, I''ll be very busy lately. You can''t dig up the sweet potatoes in this field. In a few days, he''ll grow a lot. You can only dig them out then, do you understand?"


    "Ugh!"


    The little guy seemed to understand, and even stepped on the ground where Jin Weiwei was planting twice.


    "Good boy."


    Jin Weiwei laughed, and couldn''t help but stroke the Agate''s head.


    After leaving, Jin Weiwei stretched his back and looked at the unconscious Little Rich Son. He asked, "Are you still not going to go back?"


    "Cold."


    As he spoke, he climbed onto the bed.


    Jin Weiwei was stunned. Damn! There was still such an operation!


    He was truly shameless, even ghosts were afraid of him!


    "Don''t touch me!"


    "Yes."


    Satisfied with the present situation, someone automatically came over and hugged Jin Weiwei, rubbing his hands comfortably on her neck.


    Jin Weiwei sighed, he did not push him away, but in truth ¡­ As long as Little Rich Son did not touch her, she would let him be.


    "..."


    Beijing.


    The throne room.


    "Your majesty, now that Xu Ziqi and the rest have been escorted into the capital, the evidence they have obtained has already been proven to be Xu Ziqi''s doing. I wonder what your majesty will do?"


    In this half a month, Ji Changhuai had lost half of the emperor''s arm and also lost half of his Xu Family. Although some people were discussing about it, no one dared to truly provoke Ji Changhuai.


    After all, he had the authority to manage the imperial government, not to mention the military power in his hands.

 C197

    The emperor''s expression was serious, his grip on the dragon throne had already revealed his thoughts.


    He had originally thought that with the power in his hands, he could easily defeat Ji Changhuai, but in just a short period of time, he had returned to how he was in the past.


    He was the sovereign emperor of this world, and he was unwilling to be controlled like this.


    "Royal Uncle, has this been thoroughly investigated?"


    Ji Changhuai gave him a lot of face to think about it carefully, and said: "Your majesty, the censor that went to investigate this case, Master Feng Cen Feng, is famous for being upright and upright, I think this is true."


    Ji Changhuai could not help but sneer in his heart. Could it be that the lesson he taught her so many days ago was not enough?


    And you still want to shield that bastard Xu Family?


    "Your majesty, this subject has found something else. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to take a look?"


    Ji Changhuai was all smiles, but the emperor had a bad premonition.


    "Uncle Huang, please speak."


    He knew that no matter what he said, Ji Changhuai would have the ability to bring this matter up, so there was no need for him to embarrass himself.


    At this moment, the Duke of Xu, Xu Yuan, ran out.


    "Regent, the things that Master Feng investigated might not be true. With so many people in Lishui County, maybe someone else is framing us?"


    When Xu Ziqi was escorted into the capital, he originally wanted to go and fetch her, but Ji Changhuai beat him to it. He didn''t even see a shadow of her.


    "framing? "Don''t say such words just because the prisoner is your own son. I''ve already sent the evidence to the justice courts. I believe the results will be out soon!"


    Hearing that, not only was Xu Yuan shocked, even the emperor was shocked. What made him even angrier, was that Ji Changhuai actually did not tell him about this!


    "Why didn''t Imperial Uncle tell me about this?"


    Isn''t Ji Changhuai the one who had already come up with a solution?


    Oh, your majesty, this matter concerns the emperor''s family matters. This Xu Ziqi is the Empress''s brother, so this subject was afraid that the emperor would care about family matters, so I sent him to the justice courts. Look at his brain, your majesty has already forgotten everything and is still looking for your majesty.


    "..." Royal Uncle, please speak. "


    The emperor''s face alternated between green and white from anger, yet Ji Changhuai pretended not to see him gritting his teeth.


    "This subject has evidence that the Martial Imperial Duke, Xu Yuan, used his identity to purchase officials and sell officials in the Jiangnan region. He even murdered the local officials and officials. This is a memorial, as well as a love letter from the citizens.


    Ji Changhuai could not help but smile, all of the people under his command were people who only knew how to eat, and it was his own son who was useful.


    So soon, the case of Jiangnan''s purchasing officials being investigated.


    If there was room to discuss Xu Ziqi''s matter, then Ji Changhuai''s actions meant that he did not want to let go of Xu Family.


    The emperor felt his vision go black. He didn''t believe that Ji Changhuai didn''t know about the matters in Jiangnan was related to him.


    Xu Yuan widened his eyes as he roared furiously, "Regent, you better not speak nonsense! I, Xu Yuan, was loyal to the emperor. How could I have done such a thing? "


    "Only you know whether or not it will do such a thing. This King only believes what he has discovered."


    The eunuch serving the emperor tremblingly took the items and walked back.


    The sweat on his forehead could no longer express his fear. What kind of sin did he have to face the flames of war between the Regent and the Emperor every day?


    After looking through the items, the emperor was a little exhausted. Ji Changhuai continued to laugh, "How does the emperor plan to handle this matter?"


    "This matter ¡­"


    "Leave this matter to royal uncle!" Your Imperial Uncle doesn''t look too good. Could it be that you''ve gotten sick? Huang Lianhai! How can you serve the emperor! If something happened to the Emperor! Can you afford it? "


    The eunuch by the emperor''s side trembled and hurriedly kneeled down. "Reporting to the Regent, His Majesty is usually well and proper ¡­"


    The emperor was clearly angry, but the Regent just had to say that his body was not well.


    "Bastard!" Didn''t you see that the emperor can no longer sit still? Hurry and help them down, find an imperial physician! "


    Hearing this, Huang Lianhai hurriedly stood up and looked towards the emperor. He didn''t expect the emperor to obediently extend his hand.


    "Help me return."


    Huang Lianhai swallowed his saliva and hurriedly helped him up. Why did he feel that whether it was the Regent or the Emperor, both of them had become terrifying?


    "..."


    After the woman from before returned from Jin Weiwei''s place, Jin Weiwei arrogantly sent people to check out her stall and skills.


    Then, he bought a storefront for the woman with great fanfare. Furthermore, after it was renovated, there were more people who came to look for Jin Weiwei.


    Right now, Jin Weiwei had to see dozens of small traders every day, and even pick out some from them that he could rely on.


    After one day, she was even more tired than when she was making sausages. Furthermore, she had given away quite a bit of money. Now, she only had a few hundred taels left in her hands.


    As for the return, it would probably take two to three months.


    Just as she was troubled by this matter, the Zhou Manager had arrived.


    "Aiyo, what kind of wind brought the Zhou Manager over here today?"


    Jin Weiwei immediately went to receive him, but who knew that Zhou Manager was smiling helplessly: "Madame Jin is truly a busy man, I came today to give you money, this is the half month''s worth of sausage, three thousand gold, not a single cent."


    "Aiyo, look at my brain. These days passed really quickly. Another half a month has passed."


    Jin Weiwei immediately kept the money. She had been busy recently and had forgotten about this matter.


    "Does Zhou Manager want to order more sausages?"


    "No, it''s almost mid-autumn and the fleet is going to have a holiday soon."


    Jin Weiwei nodded her head and felt a headache. If Zhou Manager did not want to go to sea, then the source of her money would be in danger.


    Sigh!


    Didn''t she already join a merchant guild?


    Wonder House''s fleet is private, but is it the merchant guild''s fleet?


    The Mid-Autumn Festival would definitely be out.


    "Zhou Manager, I wonder if you know that this Lishui County has a bank?"


    She was finally on the road to a loan! He hoped that she could return to her original position as soon as possible, or else things would really go out of business.


    "Bank?" Does Madame Jin want to borrow money? "


    Jin Weiwei asked. Zhou Manager''s eyes lit up, she looked like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.


    "Right."


    Hearing that, the smile on Zhou Manager''s face became even more brilliant, and he said: "Madame Jin does not need to look elsewhere, my family has opened a bank, Madame Jin is an acquaintance, the interest can be counted as a little less."


    "Oh, that''s great. May I ask where is the bank for Wonder House?"


    Jin Weiwei smiled, but in her heart she was cursing the evil merchant. She did not believe that the Zhou Manager would not know what she was doing, he would definitely know that she was borrowing more, no matter how little the interest was, he would borrow more!


    But then again, just who was the owner of Wonder House, to actually open a bank.


    One had to know that the bank included loans and deposits. If one did not have some wealth and influence, it would truly be impossible to open.


    "May I ask how much you would like to borrow, Madam? This bank is not far from here, would Madame like to go with me? "


    Zhou Manager looked like he couldn''t wait.

 C198

    Jin Weiwei curled her lips. Why did she feel that this Zhou Manager seemed to really like being associated with her?


    "If I were to borrow 10,000 silver taels and want to pay it back in two years, how would this interest be counted?"


    Jin Weiwei laughed and formally showed that she wanted to negotiate. She wanted to borrow money! Must first ask how interest is calculated.


    What if he was scammed?


    The Zhou Manager coughed twice, restraining himself for a bit. He was anxious, ever since Jin Weiwei had ordered ten oil pressed oil tankers from him, the Young Master had been paying special attention to this woman.


    If they wanted him to cooperate, they had to work together. Even if they didn''t work together, they had to strike up a relationship.


    Now, it just so happened that Jin Weiwei wanted to borrow money, and he had connections with Jin Weiwei?


    Actually, even without the Little Boss saying, he was still very willing to be associated with Jin Weiwei, because he could tell that Jin Weiwei was someone who had good eyesight, and was a person who would create his own opportunities even if he did not have a chance.


    Such a person would either cooperate or defeat her.


    This was what the Young Master had told him.


    "Ah, if the Madam only borrows ten thousand taels of silver, then the annual interest rate would be five points. If the loan is not repaid within the time limit, then the interest rate would be increased by one point per month."


    Jin Weiwei calculated in his heart, if she paid him back in a year, she would only need to pay five hundred silver. In other words, it was not bad, but if she went to another house, it would be more than this.


    "Alright, then I''ll be going with Zhou Manager."


    Jin Weiwei smiled and extended his hand to indicate Zhou Manager to go first.


    Zhou Manager nodded, he saw that Jin Weiwei was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.


    As he was walking out of the door, Jin Weiwei coincidentally bumped into Little Rich Son.


    "Well, where are you going?"


    Little Rich Son nodded, seeing the ingots and Zhou Manager following by Jin Weiwei''s side, the color in his eyes changed, and he asked softly.


    "En, I will go with Zhou Manager to the bank, do you want to go with me?"


    Sigh ¡­ Since Little Rich Son came back, things had changed for the worse. He used to follow by her side everyday.


    Thinking about it, Jin Weiwei felt a little sad.


    "Mm, let''s go."


    As he said that, Little Rich Son actually pulled Jin Weiwei''s hand in front of the two of them.


    Zhou Manager was surprised. No matter how much love an ordinary couple had, it was not as obvious as it was outside. Normally, this meant that this man loved his wife and had a lot of respect for her.


    Sensing the threat that Little Rich Son was radiating, the fist by the side of his body tightened and he lowered his head.


    Jin Weiwei did not understand this, holding hands or something like that, it was something that the little lovers from her previous life would often do, and it was very normal in her mind.


    It was just that in the ancient times, there were also outsiders.


    Upon reaching the bank, Jin Weiwei and the Zhou Manager completed their procedures. Only then did Little Rich Son know what she was doing.


    "Weiwei, do you need more money?"


    "Yes."


    Jin Weiwei nodded and found a comfortable place to lean on in Little Rich Son''s embrace.


    Little Rich Son slightly frowned: "Why aren''t you telling me?"


    "This is my problem, you don''t understand. Why should I tell you?"


    Furthermore, before they get married, she didn''t want to owe Ji Jingzhi too much. That''s right, there would be a day when Little Rich Son wasn''t Little Rich Son, but becomes the Regent''s Ji Jingzhi.


    After he finished speaking, Jin Weiwei felt the pressure in the carriage was somewhat low, and knew that Little Rich Son was angry, and couldn''t help but stand up and look at Little Rich Son very seriously.


    "Are you going to marry me?"


    This was the first time Jin Weiwei had asked a question like this. It was because she didn''t know about Little Rich Son''s background previously, but Little Rich Son was just an inverted door in the Jin Family, there were many things that she could ignore and it would suffice as long as she had them.


    To be honest, there were too many possibilities between her and Little Rich Son. Although she did not say it usually, treating it as if she did not know, but these problems were all there, and it was just that it had not been triggered yet.


    "Yes, I will."


    Little Rich Son was also very serious. He didn''t know why Jin Weiwei would ask such a question, but he could see fear in her eyes.


    "With... "What''s your identity?"


    Jin Weiwei''s pupils trembled, she lowered her head to cover the panic in her heart, she was afraid that Little Rich Son would be silent, if that''s the case, it showed her position in Little Rich Son''s heart.


    "Ji Jingzhi."


    Little Rich Son frowned, he understood what Jin Weiwei meant. Seeing her trembling shoulders, he suddenly pulled her into his embrace.


    "Weiwei, let''s return to the capital. I''ll marry you."


    Jin Weiwei swallowed her saliva. She was so scared that she was about to die, she thought she wasn''t that important to Little Rich Son. After all, she wasn''t some noble daughter.


    "Don''t ¡­"


    She had not earned enough money to be worthy of Little Rich Son''s wealth, or at least ¡­ At the very least, she had to become the richest person on her side.


    "You don''t want to?"


    Little Rich Son''s hands trembled slightly as he hugged the person in his embrace tighter.


    "No, I want to be worthy of your identity."


    Jin Weiwei left Little Rich Son''s embrace, looked into his eyes, and wanted to pass on the message she had in mind.


    She was worthy of Little Rich Son, but she was not worthy of Ji Jingzhi''s identity.


    "..." "Alright."


    With an indiscernible sigh of relief, Little Rich Son smiled and patted Jin Weiwei''s head.


    They smiled at each other.


    "..."


    Because of Jin Weiwei''s actions, a small half of all the merchants with Lishui County were raised up by him.


    It had even stimulated the economy of the Lishui County, allowing Wang Hai to add another notch to his achievements.


    This was also why Wang Hai had agreed to Jin Weiwei''s suggestion back then.


    Jin Weiwei found Cheng Yu at the trading company''s stronghold in Lishui County, and asked him to put the goods on the merchant guild''s ship to sea.


    This time, someone objected.


    "On what basis! Madame Jin, you probably don''t understand the rules of the merchant guilds, so you don''t know that spaces between merchant ships can be paid for, and the workers at sea also have to pay for it, and the people watching over the goods also have to pay. "


    The one who spoke was Boss Wang, he had come today to handle the shipment of goods on the merchant ship.


    Jin Weiwei coldly looked at the Boss Wang who looked like a fried chicken and said: "If I understand the rules of the merchant guild, what do I need you seniors for?"


    Boss Wang was startled, seeing that Jin Weiwei and Jin Weiwei had gone in to discuss, he finally understood the meaning of Jin Weiwei''s words.


    Damn it!


    "Young Master Cheng, I see that you are worried about him. Has something happened recently?"


    During the conversation between Jin Weiwei and Jin Weiwei, he suddenly saw Cheng Yu puckering his eyebrows, and it was only then that Jin Weiwei noticed Cheng Yu''s eyes were black and green, and his eyebrows were filled with fatigue.


    Cheng Yu waved his hand and laughed bitterly: "It''s all because of Cheng Yuan."


    Not long after he came out, Cheng Yuan was brought away by the officials because of his kidnapping, and not long after, because of some unknown reason, his father went crazy and turned some of the things that Cheng Yuan had done into evidence for the officials. Cheng Yuan was sentenced to be executed after autumn, but now that Cheng Yuan was dead, the whole house was in chaos.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei did not ask anymore, she knew of this matter, and actually did not blame Cheng Yu, but Cheng Yuan was the one who committed many evil deeds, but she heard that Old Master Cheng favors Cheng Yuan, so Cheng Yu''s days should not be too good right?


    "Right, how much money do I need to pay to put the goods in a place?"

 C199

    She had no choice but to change the topic.


    Because there are only two merchant ships in the merchant guild, these spaces are relatively expensive, and there are also manmade items. Ten spaces of a thousand liang should be enough to store a thousand catties of rice, and right now, there are thirty cigs of rice in the air above the merchant ship. Just now, the Boss Wang asked for them but I did not give them to him, thinking that you would definitely need them, so I decided to keep them.


    "I''ll take all of them. Here''s three thousand taels, I''m selling sausages."


    Jin Weiwei took out a stack of silver and placed it in front of Cheng Yu.


    Cheng Yu laughed and said: "I really suspect that your temper is that of a man''s, but you are actually an extremely beautiful woman."


    "Haha ¡­" Young Master Cheng is really likeable when you speak. "


    Jin Weiwei''s smile could not help but widen, indeed, the woman''s face was only maintained, recently she felt that her face had also turned pale and tender.


    Hearing that, Cheng Yu laughed out loud, with pity in his eyes.


    "That''s right, I forgot to tell you. It''s best if someone else follows you there. Otherwise, you have to pay for the things that my people sell for you."


    "Sure, thanks a lot."


    Jin Weiwei nodded, he never expected that there were so many things to be said.


    After saying all these, Jin Weiwei went to look for Tao Xiaoqing at the Jin Meat Shop.


    "Xiaoqing, come over, I have something to talk to you about."


    Tao Xiaoqing followed and wiped the sweat off his forehead. The meat shop''s business was extremely good recently, and he had almost run out of work.


    "Boss, do you need anything?"


    Tao Xiaoqing was a little anxious, there were still customers waiting at the door.


    "Recently, hurry up and make a batch of sausages, the more the better. Also, in half a month, the merchant ship of the Chamber of Commerce will be sailing, I want you to come with me, do you want to go?"


    Tao Xiaoqing had already worked here for a while, she felt that it wasn''t too bad, at least she was a good child who repays kindness. Since she was lacking people, it would be better for her to nurture one herself.


    "Me?"


    Tao Xiaoqing was stunned, he had even forgotten about the customers at the counter. When he looked up, he realized that he had replaced the ingots, and became more relaxed.


    Seeing that Tao Xiaoqing was in disbelief, Jin Weiwei laughed and repeated himself: "I said, I want you to go out to sea to sell a batch of sausages, are you willing to sell it?"


    "Boss, I, I''ve never been there before. Besides, I don''t understand the language of the people in the sea. I, I''m afraid I''ll screw up with you."


    What he did not expect was that Jin Weiwei would return and advance so quickly. What was even more unexpected was that Jin Weiwei would place such importance on him, and this made him feel overwhelmed by the favor he had received.


    "You don''t have to worry about these things. Everyone has their first time. When you get there, you can find an interpreter. Ah, no, the translator will go with you."


    Jin Weiwei laughed awkwardly, she had almost forgotten that the ancient translators were not called translators, but rather called translators.


    But like a commodity, a mountain is never as good as a mountain.


    "Just tell me now if you want to go or not. If you don''t, I''ll go find someone else."


    Seeing Tao Xiaoqing''s distressed look, in order to prevent himself from being forced, he specially added this sentence.


    "Yes, but boss, this is my first time doing it. If I don''t do it well, please forgive me boss, but I will work hard and try my best to not let boss lose any money."


    Just when Jin Weiwei thought that Tao Xiaoqing would not go, Tao Xiaoqing suddenly became extremely serious, and imitated Zhou Manager and talked to her.


    Seeing that, Jin Weiwei laughed in satisfaction, she liked ambitious people like Tao Xiaoqing, a person who learnt extremely fast, she liked it even more.


    "Alright, when the time comes, ask about the market price and see how the rest of the people on the ship sell them. Take a look more and you''ll know when you see more."


    Tao Xiaoqing nodded, he could not help but smile, and his eyes revealed his excitement.


    After saying this, Jin Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief. She had finally resolved another matter.


    Beijing.


    Originally, he felt great about tidying up his Xu Family, but after Ji Changhuai received this letter in these two days, he was in a very bad mood.


    His son actually asked him for money, or a huge sum, one hundred thousand taels of silver!


    Fine, for him, it''s not a huge sum of money. But you actually needed that much for you to raise a woman. He heard that the woman does business, so she shouldn''t be short on money, right?


    The weird Ji Changhuai came to find a butler in his heart.


    "Say, do you think people who do business often lack money?"


    Ji Changhuai raised his head to ask the butler. The several stores and businesses of the Duke Palaces were all managed by the butler, so Ji Changhuai felt that his son had been deceived.


    The butler slightly raised his eyebrows, revealing a fattened face with a hint of a cracked expression.


    "Your highness, it depends on what kind of business you are in and what stage you are in."


    After thinking for a while, the steward decided to say something that would not hurt his master''s self-esteem.


    It was still better when she was still alive, so he could still take responsibility for this business. Now, not only did he have to manage the business, he also had to take care of the old and the young. The prince was at ease, as there were very few troubles, where the Duke ¡­


    The old butler sighed in his heart.


    "Mm ¡­" prince wants 100,000 gold from me, and by his side, there is a woman who does business by his side. Tell me, what''s the situation here? "


    Ji Changhuai had a face full of doubt and trust for the old butler in front of him. The old butler was the eunuch that the royal father bestowed upon him since he was young.


    The old butler''s eyes lit up. There was a woman in prince? What a great thing! He looked at the child who had grown up ¡­ He finally had a place to belong.


    "Sigh!" "Little De!"


    Ji Changhuai was very dissatisfied, this old thing was always absent-minded when talking to him, and never did when talking to his son, which made him very angry.


    "Your Royal Highness, most of the business people that need money have only three kinds of situations. They just started working hard and are about to go bankrupt, so there is a big deal."


    "Then there must be a big deal, how can the woman that Jingzhi likes be bad? You, immediately give a hundred thousand silver from the silver vault to prince to send over. "


    Hearing that, Ji Changhuai thought that since Jingzhi had such high standards, to be able to see a business woman, it must be because her business ability was extremely good.


    Even if he went bankrupt, 100,000 silver would be enough for him to make a comeback! He had to get his son''s face back!


    The old butler covered his heart. He felt that he had suffered from palpitation again.


    "Wang, your highness, this is a huge sum, your servant needs some time."


    These two were about to anger him to death!


    "Isn''t it just a hundred thousand?" Is one day not enough time? "


    The old butler felt his vision darken. Oh my god! Do you know how much a hundred thousand taels of silver is?


    "Your Royal Highness, do you want the silver or the banknotes? No matter what they are, they still need time. "


    It seemed like they needed the banknotes, but they also needed time to convert the money into banknotes. If the bank wanted to order the banknotes, wouldn''t they need time?


    Seeing that the old butler''s expression was not good, Ji Changhuai estimated that he would need some time.


    "This, Little De, you can decide. In short, you have to quickly deliver the money to prince."

 C200

    After three or four days, with only about ten days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jin Weiwei suddenly remembered that she had not ordered ice skin and mooncakes.


    However, when they arrived at the place where they had ordered mooncakes, the shop owner actually couldn''t make iced mooncakes. This time, Jin Weiwei really wanted to make fun of him.


    What the heck was this? The Dazhuang Dynasty developed so well overseas, yet they did not have any ice-skin mooncakes. It was unscientific.


    After Jin Weiwei finished making fun of himself, he first went to buy a large batch of ingredients.


    Returning to the residence, Yuanbao came forward, "Master, servants, guards, and maids have all been trained. Do you have any arrangements?"


    Oh no, Jin Weiwei''s body swayed, she almost forgot to ask Yuan Bao to buy a servant. She didn''t expect the Yuan Treasure to train the servant for her.


    "Servant ¡­" "How many are there?"


    Jin Weiwei was at a loss. There seemed to be no one by Little Rich Son''s side, even if she were to place the servant by his side, she would not feel at ease. It was not that she was not worried about Little Rich Son, but the servant girls.


    "Fifteen."


    Six of them will be allocated to the kitchen, two will be allocated to the garden to tend the flowers, two will be allocated to the front hall to entertain the guests, and I will need two to clean the courtyard.


    As for why she looked so ordinary, Jin Weiwei believed that all women would do the same. She, Jin Weiwei, was not that generous.


    After saying that, Jin Weiwei brought the Pearl Jadeite and headed towards the kitchen. The Pearl Jadeite looked at each other, then stood out and said: "Master, in fact, only the two of us will take care of the yard, we don''t need anyone new."


    The two sisters had experienced the hardships of life and death together with Jin Weiwei. Now that they were finally by his side, they were very afraid of losing him, so Jin Weiwei did not care about many things.


    "The two of you have been following me around the entire time, so it''s hard to avoid missing some time. Moreover, I only asked them to clean the courtyard, so I still need you two to come to my room."


    Jin Weiwei said with a smile, how could she not know what the little girl was thinking?


    The two of them were much more assured as they spoke, and Jadeite frowned and said, "Mistress, actually, the kitchen needs people the most. You should find a woman who knows how to cook, and there will be more servants in the house."


    "En, you should think it through carefully. Let''s talk about the ingots when you have the time."


    Jin Weiwei nodded his head, the two girls were still quite meticulous.


    "..."


    "Yes, yes, that''s it. You''re really smart."


    Jin Weiwei''s hands revealed half of her arm, looking at the Pearl Jadeite putting the two moons that hadn''t formed into the model, she was extremely happy, this way, when it was the middle of autumn, her activities could be carried out smoothly.


    "That''s true. Mistress, why don''t you see what we''re best at?"


    Perhaps it was because the other maidservants were present, Jadeite appeared to be rather pleased with herself.


    "What are you doing?"


    Little Rich Son''s voice suddenly came from behind him. He turned his head and looked a little tired.


    "Why did you come back so late when you were making mooncakes?"


    Turning his head, Jin Weiwei saw that the few servant girls who came to help had flushed red, and immediately became unhappy, as expected, good looking people, no matter if they were male or female, were all evil.


    "Why colored people?"


    Little Rich Son picked one up and examined it. He had never seen such a beautiful mooncake.


    "Because it''s called an ice-skin mooncake."


    Jin Weiwei mischievously smiled. She didn''t know how to explain it to Little Rich Son, so she decided to just leave it at that.


    "Much to do?"


    "Yes."


    Just as she answered, Jin Weiwei saw Little Rich Son raise his sleeves, looking as if he wanted to do it with her.


    Jin Weiwei did not stop her. Instead, he picked up a small blue lump, pressed down a hole in the middle, and placed down the bean paste. He turned his head to look at the mooncake in Little Rich Son''s hand, only after seeing that it was the same as hers did he put it back into the mooncake model.


    Little Rich Son learnt from his mistakes, and the mooncake that he brought out after pressing the button could also be considered good.


    "Not bad, continue."


    Jin Weiwei laughed and continued with his work, causing the few new servants to be shocked. They were people who had served the other rich families before, but had never seen their master accompany his mistress to do such a thing.


    And they looked at Little Rich Son, as if they were still very interested in what they had to do.


    "You want to sell this?"


    "No, do some activities and give it away."


    Jin Weiwei shook her head. How could such a good thing be sold? She wanted everyone to remember the Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop, and know that there were many new and good things.


    "May I ¡­" Make some for Father. "


    Little Rich Son''s lonely image suddenly flashed across his mind, and he asked Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei was startled. In that case, she had yet to see Little Rich Son''s father, and she didn''t know if he liked her or not.


    Ah ¡­ It seems to be a problem.


    "Of course, I will make some and you can send it to the capital."


    Jin Weiwei smiled, she had to make it especially delicious, to let her father have a better impression of her as a daughter-in-law in the future.


    "Father knows you."


    Little Rich Son smiled faintly, the corners of his eyes tinged with a trace of pampering.


    When Jin Weiwei heard it, he staggered two steps. Little Rich Son''s hands were quick, and supported Jin Weiwei.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "..." "It''s fine."


    According to the time, it should have been when she was in trouble, Little Rich Son had definitely told his father when he returned to the capital.


    Could it be that he wasn''t dissatisfied with her identity? Or no objection.


    Their life passed just like that.


    The next morning, Jin Weiwei was greeted by an unexpected guest.


    "Young Master Cheng, you came early. Is there something urgent?"


    From Jin Weiwei''s impression, there seemed to be something that needed to be done for Cheng Yu to look for her.


    "I did indeed come here today for a matter. I have business to discuss with you."


    Cheng Yu rubbed the corner of his brows. If one looked carefully, they would see that he was exhausted.


    It seems that Cheng Yu''s family matters were not settled yet.


    Jin Weiwei sighed to himself, to meet such a family, would definitely make things difficult for Cheng Yu.


    "I don''t know what kind of business it is, but I''m only doing big business right now!"


    Jin Weiwei laughed, revealing his two small canines that were extremely infectious. Cheng Yu couldn''t help but laugh along with him, the worry in his heart lessening by quite a bit.


    "Of course it''s a big business. Otherwise, I wouldn''t dare to come looking for you."


    "Alright, let''s get back to the main topic. What are you doing here?"


    "I saw that you had a lot of sausages made recently, is there any intention of selling them to me?"


    Speaking of proper business, Cheng Yu subconsciously frowned. Even though Cheng Restaurant business was still as usual, the innkeeper had recently come to ask him when he would be able to enter Jin Meat Shop''s sausage, and many customers had asked that question.


    It was only then that he realized that Jin Weiwei''s sausage was beginning to affect the profits of his restaurant.


    Jin Weiwei frowned, she did not think that Cheng Yu would come to talk about this with her.


    "I can''t give you the sausages from Jin Meat Shop. I want to sell them overseas, but I can accept the sausages from the meat vendors that I support. The taste is a bit worse, but not by much."

 C201

    The meat vendors that she supported weren''t proficient in making sausages, so the sausage that they made wouldn''t taste that good. She just didn''t know if Cheng Yu could accept it.


    Cheng Yu frowned and thought for a long time. If the taste was wrong, it would be very difficult to deal with.


    "However, if you really need it, I can give you a basket of Jin Meat Shop sausages. I can go and taste the rest one by one since there will always be something similar to the taste."


    She had supported at least a dozen butcher shops, and there was no similarity in taste at all.


    "How many families have you supported?"


    Cheng Yu''s brows slightly twitched as he asked. Actually, he was also very curious as to how Jin Weiwei earned the money.


    "Probably more than ten. There''s always one that tastes right. Young Master Cheng, do you want me to help you find one?"


    "Of course, it will be better as soon as possible."


    In this period of time, it was almost New Year''s, and many people came out to socialize. The business of a family was also good, and many of the special dishes made from sausages were ordered. If there were no more Jin Meat Shop in the Cheng Restaurant, many customers would have lost.


    "Sure, I''ll do it this afternoon."


    Jin Weiwei nodded, and said straightforwardly. Cheng Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Jin Weiwei, and discovered that after a few days of not seeing him, Jin Weiwei had become even better looking.


    "Weiwei... Madame Jin, you should be aware of the location of the monthly meeting of the merchant guild tomorrow.


    So it turns out that Cheng Yu had something to discuss with her today, she said, why don''t we cooperate? He could just ask the owner of the Cheng Restaurant to come and talk to her.


    "Is there anything you need to pay special attention to tomorrow?"


    "Nope."


    "That''s good."


    "Weiwei."


    Just as Jin Weiwei was unable to find a suitable topic to talk, Little Rich Son suddenly appeared at the door, his face was slightly cold, but his eyes were staring straight at Cheng Yu.


    Jin Weiwei thought that it was not good, the two of them seemed like enemies the moment they met.


    "Young Master Cheng, I still have some family matters to attend to, why don''t you go back first?"


    "Alright."


    Seeing that Cheng Yu''s figure had disappeared, Jin Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief and looked at him.


    "Didn''t you leave for some reason?" "Why did you come back so quickly?"


    Little Rich Son sat at the seat that Cheng Yu was sitting at a moment ago, and placed a small box in front of him.


    Jin Weiwei opened it suspiciously, but when he saw what was inside, his pupils couldn''t help but constrict.


    Mother! So much money!


    "This ¡­"


    She was a little confused. What did Little Rich Son want to do?


    "For you."


    Little Rich Son''s face was serious, as if this kind of thing was very natural.


    "I don''t want it."


    Jin Weiwei pushed the things back. Although she was currently in need of money, she could not take Little Rich Son''s money. She had not obtained the recognition of Little Rich Son''s parents.


    "Why?"


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son''s face turned dark, he did not understand why Jin Weiwei would rather borrow money than take his money.


    Jin Weiwei turned around and looked at Little Rich Son, and said very seriously: "If you really think about it, we aren''t really related in any way, why would I ¡­"


    Before she could finish her sentence, a large hand appeared in her hand. The grip was so tight that it hurt her wrist.


    Looking up, he saw Little Rich Son''s eyes that were filled with anger: "We are husband and wife."


    "But I''ve never seen my parents!"


    had only just finished speaking when his aura weakened. Speaking of which, seemed to have wanted her to meet her father when she was drunk that day, but she rejected it.


    Anyway... It was just weird, but she always felt like this. She was like an outer room.


    "One day, I will return to Beijing."


    After being silent for a long time, Little Rich Son spoke with an even lower voice. Jin Weiwei''s heart tightened, and he knew that Little Rich Son was angry.


    "That''s not what I meant."


    Jin Weiwei grabbed Little Rich Son''s hand. Under Little Rich Son''s doubtful and angry gaze, he couldn''t find an explanation.


    "..." "Take it, just treat it as if I''m the other owner."


    Little Rich Son clenched his teeth. Only now did he feel how foolish this woman was, her self-esteem was so strong. What would he do if she got hurt in the future?


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up, and under Little Rich Son''s angry gaze, he accepted the box and said: "Okay."


    Only then did Little Rich Son become happy.


    With this, Jin Weiwei opened the box and counted the money. The more he counted, the weaker he became, until finally, he held the hundred thousand gold in his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "You want to buy my entire industry chain?"


    "I only want you."


    Unexpectedly, Little Rich Son was extremely serious, and allowed Jin Weiwei to truly see the gentleness and seriousness in his eyes.


    Jin Weiwei''s face instantly flushed red as she shyly covered her face.


    Little Rich Son was bad at learning! Who did he learn this from!


    What should she do? Her heart was beating really fast.


    "..."


    The next day, after having lunch, Jin Weiwei brought Little Rich Son and the Pearl Jadeite to the merchant guild.


    Sigh, it was rare for Little Rich Son to be free, but she was actually busy.


    Jin Weiwei sighed to herself. She had not rested for a long time, after all.


    "Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop Madame Jin has arrived."


    When they reached the entrance, there were people registering for the competition. Jin Weiwei nodded to the people and gave his cape to the Pearl Jadeite.


    "Oh, Madame Jin, your name has spread far and wide in your Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop recently!"


    The person who spoke was eccentric, Jin Weiwei did not need to look to know that it was Boss Wang just by hearing the voice.


    Despite being so young, she was still so stingy. She really didn''t understand how the Wang Clan could have survived for so long.


    "Boss Wang is still as concerned about us juniors as usual. He is truly a role model for us juniors to learn from."


    Jin Weiwei laughed, after saying that, the stunned people suddenly reacted, some did not have the ability to control themselves and laughed out loud.


    Boss Wang''s face alternated between green and white. His reputation in the merchant guild was not very good, so he was naturally not welcomed by everyone.


    Jin Weiwei must have guessed it, which was why he said that.


    Yes, Jin Weiwei guessed it, because Boss Wang''s family was a merchant''s family, and Boss Wang was such a petty person that would definitely offend many people.


    Boss Wang wanted to curse at Jin Weiwei, but he realized that the other party was flattering him on the surface, and scolding him seemed to make him even more petty.


    "Young Master Cheng."


    Jin Weiwei nodded towards Cheng Yu and then walked towards the last chair, who knew that Cheng Yu would call her.


    "Madame Jin, take this position."


    Jin Weiwei looked towards the direction of Cheng Yu''s hand and discovered that he was in third place, while the second place seat was occupied by a middle-aged man who looked extremely good.


    "Young Master Cheng, I''ve only come to the Chamber of Commerce for a short while, and I''ve already sat in this seat. I''m afraid that everyone here is not convinced."


    The location of a merchant guild was arranged by family property, ability, and contribution to the merchant guild. Naturally, the higher one''s position was, the more convenience one would get from the merchant guild, and the right to speak would be heavier.


    "It seems that some people know their own limitations!"


    Jin Weiwei immediately ignored some sarcastic voice. This kind of person was like a mouse poop, even one glance would make him feel disgusted.


    Hearing that, Cheng Yu looked at the Boss Wang, and his eyes suddenly became stern.


    "All of you would really like to know why I left the third place to the Madame Jin, right?"

 C202

    Many of the people present did not say a word, but their eyes were more or less unconvinced, allowing Jin Weiwei to understand what they meant.


    He couldn''t help but laugh bitterly in his heart. Cheng Yu would really cause her trouble.


    "The Madame Jin does not fear power, and is aiding the county lord in capturing the sinner who betrayed the imperial government. When the citizens are in distress, he is also opening a balanced market price without regard for his own safety, what are all of you doing at this time? You must be thinking about how to make Madame Jin go down, right? "


    After Cheng Yu questioned her, everyone lowered their heads. Jin Weiwei was a little embarrassed, and subconsciously touched her nose, Cheng Yu behind her flattered her that she accepted. After all, it was the truth, but what the heck was going on in front of her?


    She didn''t know anything about Xu Ziqi''s rebellion and almost lost her life. Since when did she help Wang Hai capture bad people?


    If Cheng Yu wanted to make it up, he had to give her some confidence!


    If you really do not accept this, you can just go to the mouths of the commoners and ask the Madame Jin what kind of person he is! Everyone should know about what happened a while ago, right? Let''s not talk about ten years, as long as three or four years, our Lishui County will be able to meet the standards of a prefecture city. If someone feels that a Madame Jin doesn''t have a family background, let''s ask, how would she dare to do this?


    Cheng Yu''s words made everyone change the way they looked at Jin Weiwei. Jin Weiwei was throwing money to buy reputation!


    Boss Wang clenched his teeth. If he knew that doing such a thing would allow him to be ranked third, he would have done it a long time ago.


    Only Jin Weiwei herself knew that she was spreading a big net and that after four or five months, she would be able to take back all her capital and that in the future, she would be able to make a lot of money.


    "Anything that the Madame Jin does, if anyone here can compare to him, I will make them sit in this position! Right now, are there any objections? "


    Cheng Yu''s face was full of righteousness, putting aside whether Jin Weiwei could earn any money, he was already impressed by him.


    Jin Weiwei was expressionless, but great waves were raging in her heart. Previously, she only knew that Cheng Yu was polite and refined, but she didn''t expect him to be so tactful, to be able to shut everyone up with a few words.


    That''s right, those who could become the president of a merchant guild weren''t simple people.


    "Young Master Cheng, why are you so excited? We admire you very much as well, it''s just that someone said something that we shouldn''t have said."


    Jin Weiwei looked towards the direction of the voice and realised that it was the bearded man from that day who emitted the aura of a martial artist. He looked like he was not someone to be trifled with, and that was the reason why Jin Weiwei disliked him at first glance.


    "Who is he?"


    Jin Weiwei could not help but ask, she only knew the main character of the merchant guild previously, she really did not know about this bearded man.


    Cheng Yu lowered her voice: "He is the head of the horse carriages, many of the things in the merchant guild are escorted by his people, his name is Xia Zhe."


    This Name... Jin Weiwei thought to himself. It was really strange.


    If one looked carefully, Jin Weiwei could see that there was something different about him. He had a shrewd and shrewd expression, his entire body was rough, and no matter where one looked at him, he was not someone to be trifled with.


    At the start of the Chamber of Commerce''s discussion, it was no more than everyone boasting about how good their business was, who had left the company, and who had annexed them.


    The most important point that had appeared was that everyone had already stocked up all their goods. Most of the merchants in this Lishui County relied on sea to survive, but there were almost no other ways.


    This was the New Year, and even though they were busy selling quite a few things, it was also during this period of time that the sea trade stopped. This was because the winter sea had added a lot of unknown dangers to it, and some people had already lost their lives in the past.


    Jin Weiwei could not help but turn his head to look at Cheng Yu. With such a large family foundation, there should be other channels, right?


    Jin Weiwei lowered his eyes, and suddenly knocked on the table: "I wonder how everyone deals with these things in the past?"


    "What else can we do? We can sell whatever we can and burn those that we can''t."


    The one who replied was Boss Wang, he still did not have a good impression of Jin Weiwei. Just a moment ago, it was because of Jin Weiwei that he was pushed around by that little bastard Xia Zhe.


    "Could it be that everyone has never thought of selling these things elsewhere? Or should we say, donating them to the citizens who are more in need, I think that this year, quite a few citizens will need these things for their Lishui County."


    She had recently heard that in order to arrange for the victims that flowed into Lishui County, Wang Hai had not been able to sleep well for the past few days due to a headache.


    "Do you think everyone has as much money as you do? If we really do that, then no one will be able to sell our goods at this time of next year, and we''ll have to give them to the common people in the end. "


    Jin Weiwei looked over and saw that the clothes she was wearing was the newest type of embroidery peony seed of the year, and understood that she should be the owner of the silk embroidery house.


    Jin Weiwei did not refute him, because she could not think of a reason to refute him. She thought about the fruit farmers in her previous life, who would ruin some fruits every year, and the reason was that those who came to collect fruits would always push down the prices of the fruits.


    Rather than that, he might as well make less of it and add more money to it.


    Everytime he saw such videos or reports, Jin Weiwei would not listen to most of the people''s nasty words, because she knew that merchants had their own difficulties, and commoners had their own difficulties too. It was just that the angle they stood at was different.


    "Then, why didn''t you sell it elsewhere?"


    Jin Weiwei became suspicious again, he turned his head, only to find Cheng Yu shaking his head at her.


    Sure enough, the next second, someone said, "If it''s that easy to sell it, do we need to be worried about it here?"


    She understood the meaning behind Cheng Yu''s shake of his head. It was enough for these bunch of people to sit back and wait for death!


    Suddenly, he saw Xia Zhe with a smile that was not a smile, Jin Weiwei suddenly raised his head, and laughed: "Boss Xia, you are not just here to do business, right?"


    Xia Zhe was seated on the tenth seat, a seat that should not have been taken, but his clothes looked tattered, and according to the looks of it, he should have been mentioned a long time ago.


    But Xia Zhe just sat there steadily. If it was just a carriage ride, just for the sake of the merchant guild protecting at sea, he would never be able to sit in this position.


    Xia Zhe was surprised for a moment, then laughed: "Why do you ask Madame Jin like that?"


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei also laughed, and looked at the jade thumb ring on his hand: "If I''m not wrong, although this thumb ring looks ordinary and ordinary, but with such fine cloud patterns, it should be top grade jade from Jiangnan, and also the pearl on Boss Xia''s neck, it should be the Agate Amber from the Western Regions. The thing inside should be pure and mysterious under the light, so, how about it, this little lady shouldn''t guess wrong right?"


    Right now, she really had to thank Wonder House. She had seen all of these in Wonder House, and because it was beautiful, after a few more glances, the waiter would explain it to her.


    As time went on, she became more familiar with these things.


    At this moment, the light in Xia Zhe''s eyes couldn''t help but become stern. He had sat in this place for three years and no one had noticed him.

 C203

    "Madame Jin, what do you want to say?"


    There must be a reason for him to mention this all of a sudden.


    Cheng Yu also looked at Jin Weiwei in surprise. According to his knowledge, Jin Weiwei had come from a rural area, and had recently grown up.


    Jin Weiwei smiled, his eyes flashing with light. His slender fingers stroked the white jade earrings in his ears, causing Cheng Yu to be stunned. The current her ¡­ It was actually so beautiful.


    "I wonder if Boss Xia has the time to come visit us at home?"


    She was sure that there were people in the Chamber of Commerce who knew what Xia Zhe was doing, but if they wanted to cooperate with him, there must be a price they had to pay. Or rather, it could be said that Xia Zhe had a contract with someone, something that they could not cooperate with.


    Then, this person could only be Cheng Yu. She did not believe that a smart person like Cheng Yu would not change a single line.


    As expected, Xia Zhe looked at Cheng Yu very quickly, and only then did he look at her: "Since Madame Jin is so sincere in inviting me, I, Xia, am invited."


    "Boss Xia is indeed a straightforward person."


    With these courteous words, Jin Weiwei looked at Cheng Yu, indicating that he could continue speaking after finishing his unfinished business.


    Following that, after Cheng Yu talked about the matters concerning shipping, the gathering was over.


    After exiting the Merchant Guild''s stronghold, Jin Weiwei saw Little Rich Son guarding the carriage from afar, with a box in his hands.


    Seeing that, Jin Weiwei''s heart warmed, she liked this feeling and knew that no matter what she did, there would always be someone waiting for her.


    "Hungry?"


    When they were close, Little Rich Son walked over and placed the box into her phone and asked softly.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei felt a bit hungry, so he nodded.


    Lowering his head to look at the box in his hand, Jin Weiwei felt a wave of curiosity. It had scared her the last time.


    Once it was opened, Jin Weiwei''s eyes immediately lit up. Inside was a shaking step made of Red Agate, with a red lotus in the middle and the Red Agate''s heart. It looked extravagant, bright and light, completely according to her thoughts.


    "Tsk tsk, not many women would be able to make a man into a piece of trash."


    Just as Jin Weiwei was rejoicing, an inharmonious voice came out from beside his ears.


    Upon hearing the crow like voice, Jin Weiwei knew that it was Boss Wang.


    Turning his head, he realized that it was not just the Boss Wang, there were also Cheng Yu and Xia Zhe.


    Cheng Yu frowned, but did not say anything.


    Xia Zhe sized Little Rich Son up with interest.


    "Boss Wang, did you rinse your mouth today?"


    Jin Weiwei scoffed, daring to say her man, did he not want to live anymore?


    "What?"


    Boss Wang squinted, his wrinkled face was even more so, his eyes could not be seen anymore.


    "If you rinsed your mouth today, how come your mouth still stinks? I think there''s something wrong, Boss Wang, why aren''t you rushing over to take a look! "It''s not good to drag it on for too long!"


    "You! You! "So uncultured!"


    The Boss Wang was so angry that his fingers were trembling. Jin Weiwei pursed his lips and took two steps back.


    "You are the uneducated one, aren''t you? "I''ll take care of my man if I want to, it''s not my place to make a fuss about it!"


    Although he was afraid that the Boss Wang would have a stroke, if he did not teach him a lesson, how would Little Rich Son be able to show his face in the future?


    Seeing that he could not outdo Jin Weiwei, the Boss Wang turned and scolded Little Rich Son: "You are a man, yet you let a woman stand up for you. In my opinion, in your entire life, you only know how to serve women!"


    Little Rich Son''s eyes turned cold. She walked up and grabbed onto Jin Weiwei''s shoulder, and said: "What do I want to do with you?"


    Seeing that, Boss Wang''s muddy old eyes widened, looking at the two of them not saying a word, in the end he fainted from anger, and Jin Weiwei was carried back by attendant who had followed him.


    Looking at the carriage of the Boss Wang which was getting further and further away, Jin Weiwei shook his head.


    "I''ve let you two down. Boss Xia, like I said, I wonder if you''re free to have a casual meal with me?"


    Turning his head, Jin Weiwei''s face of arrogance immediately turned into a professional smile, causing Cheng Yu to feel slightly uncomfortable.


    Xia Zhe found it interesting, but he was now interested in Jin Weiwei.


    "Naturally."


    Seeing that, Cheng Yu immediately said: "I am hungry too, I wonder if Madame Jin is willing to bring me along?"


    When Jin Weiwei raised his head to look at Little Rich Son, he indeed discovered that his expression was not good.


    Xia Zhe and Cheng Yu must be secretly cooperating, at that time it would be easy to negotiate.


    "Naturally."


    Just as he finished speaking, Jin Weiwei could feel the aura of Little Rich Son beside him turning cold. He sighed in his heart, it''s just eating, is there really a need?


    It was still a first class building, so Jin Weiwei was already used to discussing business here.


    Don''t ask her how she knew. She came here so many times that she didn''t hear the voice coming from next door.


    She thought, this should be the reason why Cheng Yu likes to come here.


    "Madame Jin, we are talking about business, do you want to avoid the person beside you?"


    Reaching the entrance of the private room, Xia Zhe suddenly said this, and looked at her with provocation.


    Damn, she thought that this fellow was provoking Little Rich Son when she first heard him.


    "No need, this is my hubby, and not an outsider."


    Jin Weiwei replied indifferently, obviously not angered by the shock.


    What a joke, she knew that Xia Zhe was purposely provoking her, but she still wanted to get angry, was she not an idiot?


    "So that''s how it is."


    Xia Zhe''s face was suddenly lit up, as if the scene just now had gone blind him. Only now did he realise that Little Rich Son was Jin Weiwei''s hubby.


    That face that needed a beating really made Jin Weiwei want to beat him up.


    If it were not for the fact that he had been thinking silently in his heart: "I am here to discuss business with him today!" Here are 80 repetitions...


    She had slapped him with her palm, but she had never seen such an infuriating fellow before!


    When everyone sat down, this was the first time Jin Weiwei formally invited them to dinner.


    After serving the dishes, Jin Weiwei even ordered wine out of habit. This was a necessity for a business deal at a table.


    While pouring the wine, Little Rich Son stared at the wine in front of Jin Weiwei for a long time. Finally, he placed the tea in front of him in front of Jin Weiwei.


    Cheng Yu''s eyebrows twitched when he saw this. He realized that no matter what Little Rich Son did, he wouldn''t feel comfortable.


    He drank a cup of wine under such discomfort.


    Xia Zhe patted his back, and said thoughtfully: "Young Master Cheng, I have never seen you in such a hurry to drink."


    Hearing that, Cheng Yu waved his hand, looked at Jin Weiwei and said: "Madame Jin, are you going to discuss the issue of outbound delivery of goods with Boss Xia today?"


    "Right."


    After pacifying Little Rich Son, Jin Weiwei finally took back the wine cup. However, she had been restricted by the rules and was told not to drink more than ten cups.


    "I wonder what Boss Xia thinks?"


    She was just worrying that she could not find an opening, she did not expect Cheng Yu to be so impressive, so she asked for it immediately.


    Unexpectedly, Xia Zhe pretended not to understand and raised his wine glass: "Aiya, isn''t this just eating plain food? This table is not suitable for business. "

 C204

    It was a familiar routine that Jin Weiwei had often been troubled by people when he was discussing business in his previous life.


    Jin Weiwei sighed, and prepared to drink, since she was the one begging.


    Those who were asked were all her lords. She understood.


    Unexpectedly, Little Rich Son, who was at the side, directly snatched the wine from her hands and drank it in one gulp. A pair of eagle-like eyes faintly contained a threat as they looked at Xia Zhe.


    Jin Weiwei blinked her eyes. To be honest, she was moved, but this was not the reason to ruin her business! Brother!


    "Boss Xia ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei revealed a faint smile. If this Xia Zhe was going to be in a difficult position, then she wouldn''t need to eat all of this food.


    Who knew that Xia Zhe would actually finish the wine in his cup, he leaned back and said: "Madame Jin, if you want my caravan to help you sell the goods, you have to ask Young Master Cheng, Lishui County, I will only accept goods from his family."


    Huh?


    What was the matter with this sudden negotiation?


    Jin Weiwei was stunned for a few seconds. He looked to the side and saw touching his thumb jade thumb ring!


    F * ck! When did he put it on?


    And it was placed in such an eye-catching position!


    "Young Master Cheng, did you sign a contract with Boss Xia?"


    Cheng Yu nodded his head, but his gaze was focused on Little Rich Son''s jade ring, his pupils contracted tightly. If he was not mistaken, the pattern on the jade ring and its material was something only the Yun Family of the imperial family could have, and it was only sold to their own officials.


    This time, not only Xia Zhe, but even Cheng Yu''s way of looking at Little Rich Son changed.


    The atmosphere suddenly froze. Jin Weiwei frowned and pulled at her sleeve.


    Only then did Little Rich Son place his hand under the table.


    "Young Master Cheng, I have to produce some new dishes every day. I can give you half of the sausages and the new dish of smoked meat, so I can give priority to the Cheng Restaurant. What do you think, Boss Xia, will just give me a bit to eat?"


    Jin Weiwei knew very well that there were only benefits if one did not have friends in the market. Even though she and Cheng Yu had a good relationship in private, they could not be confused.


    Hearing that, Cheng Yu''s eyes could not help but light up: "Smoked meat? What is that thing? "


    "Smoked meat is a secret ingredient that can be stored for a long time. It''s just that some customers might not like the taste of this kind of meat."


    When he talked about the New Year, Jin Weiwei suddenly remembered about the cured meat. Before this thing was made into meat, it looked like it was made into meat by a thief, but after it was made into meat, you could even bite your tongue off it!


    When she thought about it, Jin Weiwei still drooled a little. If she remembered now, she wanted Jin Meat Shop to do it as well and look at the sales price. If it was a good sale, she would do it every new year.


    Seeing Jin Weiwei salivating as he spoke, Cheng Yu guessed that he had something good. Jin Weiwei was a glutton after all, otherwise, he would not be able to make such delicious sausages.


    "Boss Xia, I''m really interested. It''s up to you."


    Cheng Yu really wanted to agree, but today, the main topic was how Jin Weiwei found and worked with Xia Zhe.


    Seeing Cheng Yu''s expression, Xia Zhe knew that Cheng Yu was speaking the truth and couldn''t help but be curious in his heart.


    "What benefits can the Madame Jin give me? After all, a travelling merchant is extremely risky. "


    If they were going to negotiate, that would be easy.


    "I wonder how many percent Boss Xia wants?"


    Hearing that, Xia Zhe revealed six fingers.


    Sixty percent, Jin Weiwei frowned, Xia Zhe''s appetite was really big!


    "Then how much profit can Boss Xia give me?"


    Sixty percent of it was still within her endurance, but if the benefits Xia Zhe brought her couldn''t meet her dreams, she might as well not cooperate.


    "..." It''s ten times more expensive than the market price of Lishui County. Of course, it still requires something from the Madame Jin. "


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up, and in this way, she also gained a lot.


    "What does Madam think?"


    Xia Zhe straightened his body, his face full of interest.


    "Deal."


    Since everyone was able to talk about this, there was no need for them to talk about it.


    "Madame Jin is indeed a straightforward person. Come, have a drink."


    Saying that, he raised his wine cup and clinked it with Jin Weiwei''s.


    Jin Weiwei took a glance at Little Rich Son and discovered that his eyes were complex, no one knew what he was thinking.


    Jin Weiwei was anxious from drinking the wine, mainly because she was afraid that Little Rich Son would suddenly come and snatch it.


    Fortunately they had talked fast today, and the food was full, so Jin Weiwei was not drunk.


    In the next two days, Jin Weiwei busied herself so busy that she couldn''t touch the ground every day. The main thing was that she wanted to teach the people at the butcher''s shop how to make cured meat, dried sweet potatoes, and dried meat.


    On the second day, when Jin Weiwei went to sign the documents with Xia Zhe, he found out that the focus of the year was on the desert, there were some areas where people could live and others where people could live.


    Thus, he decided to make these things. They could be stored for a very long time and could even be eaten as food. It would be for the best.


    Since he still had to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was so busy that he couldn''t care less about someone.


    By the time Jin Weiwei reacted, she had disappeared again. It was unknown if she was angry or not.


    It was soon to be the middle of autumn and Jin Weiwei was finally anxious, because even then, she did not see any trace of Little Rich Son.


    Could it be that she was really that angry?


    "..."


    Beijing.


    Ji Changhuai returned to his residence full of hostility, and the old butler hurriedly strode forward to welcome him.


    "Your Highness, what''s going on? Your face is so ugly? "


    "It''s all because of Xu Family, I didn''t expect that Xu Yuan would still have tricks up his sleeve even after learning from them. What''s the use of keeping the empress safe!" This old man will change people sooner or later! "


    The old steward couldn''t help but roll his eyes. The prince''s temper was still as impatient as ever. No matter what others thought of him, in his eyes, he was no different from a child.


    "Your highness, your highness, don''t be angry. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can argue with that person. Today, I have something good to give you."


    Ji Changhuai looked at the old butler with suspicion. The reason why he was in a bad mood today was due to Xu Family, but the bigger reason was because he thought about how his son was currently hugging a beautiful girl and happily eating mooncakes.


    The more he thought about it, the more Ji Changhuai''s mood became worse, what the hell was going on!


    "What is it? Little De, if you don''t tell me what it is today, just you wait!"


    "Oh, your highness, how could I dare? Look, this was sent by the prince. I heard that they did not stop at all on the way, and almost tired the horses to death."


    The old butler spoke exaggeratedly. However, it was clear that Ji Changhuai was happy, and the corners of his mouth were raised. He received the box and thought happily in his heart, at least this boy had some conscience.


    As soon as he opened the letter, he saw bold and sharp words written on it. It was the name of his good son.


    Before he could even look at the contents of the box, Ji Changhuai had already opened the letter. Once he saw the contents of the letter, Ji Changhuai''s heart became complicated.


    Looking at the food box, he felt a sense of unwillingness. This was the first time in his life that he had received the filial piety of a daughter-in-law. Why did he feel that it was so strange?


    "Your Highness, what''s wrong? Has something happened to prince? "


    Hearing that, Ji Changhuai regained his senses, knocked on the old butler''s head, and scolded him: "Why don''t you want to order something good every single day!"

 C205

    It was almost evening when Jin Weiwei finally saw Little Rich Son''s figure, but for the first time ever, this person did not come to look for her. Instead, he ran into the study she had arranged for him, and did not come out.


    Heh ¡­!


    Listening to the two servant''s reports, Jin Weiwei knew that Little Rich Son was angry, but she had no other choice.


    It''s the new year soon. Who cares about you after the New Year?


    It was all to pick out new things!


    However, she was still selling rice noodles and meat. There was no business going on during New Year''s!


    How much did she have to fight for the status of Little Rich Son! Didn''t he know?


    Oh, she was so angry!


    Even though he thought about it, Jin Weiwei still didn''t want to get into a conflict with Little Rich Son in this kind of day, wasn''t it just because he was angry?


    Just coax.


    As for how to coax them, that was also a problem ¡­


    Jin Weiwei had a headache, he suddenly slapped his head in annoyance, and thought to himself, if Little Rich Son was not angry, wouldn''t he be Little Rich Son''s birthdate after the Mid-Autumn Festival?


    After knowing Little Rich Son''s identity, she had even asked around. How could she have forgotten about it?


    Not bad! Fortunately she remembered, she could make Little Rich Son a "special mooncake".


    On the roof, Mo Ba watched his own prince sharpening the wood in his hands. His heart was in his throat, afraid that the blade would slash at him.


    prince had been out for so many days just to find a single rosewood, and she had even bought a moonstone from a merchant in the Western Regions.


    Mo Ba felt that other than looking better, this stone did not have any other uses. Also, why did the prince look for these two things?


    "Mo Feng, did you say something to prince?"


    Hearing this, Mo Feng rolled his eyes, and said in a low voice: "prince asked me what kind of things women liked. I said jewelry, the prettier the better.


    Mo Ba spat out the grass in his mouth, he had a look like it was the truth, and looking at it now, was prince planning to make a hairpin for him?


    Little Rich Son frowned as he looked at the rosewood that was slightly different from the drawing. He had initially thought that this matter was very simple, but he never expected that it would be so difficult to execute it.


    He threw away the broken piece of rosewood and picked up another one to continue cutting.


    "..."


    Very quickly, it was night, not only did Jin Weiwei cook a table of dishes, he also made a cake. Seeing the finished product, Jin Weiwei felt that his hands were not as sore, and when he thought about how Little Rich Son would see the expression of the cake later, he became excited.


    Just as he arrived at the study and was about to knock, the person inside coincidentally opened the door, and Jin Weiwei almost knocked into Little Rich Son''s embrace.


    "What are you doing in there?"


    Jin Weiwei looked up and asked, what could possibly cause someone to stay in the study room for the whole afternoon?


    Lowering his eyes to look at Jin Weiwei''s somewhat beautiful little face, Little Rich Son''s gaze grew darker by two points. With a slightly hoarse voice, he asked: "I''m fine, what about you?"


    "..." Today is Mid-Autumn''s Day. "


    Jin Weiwei smiled and reminded her.


    "I know."


    Little Rich Son laughed, and the hairpin in his sleeves tightened.


    "Look at your silly look, come with me."


    As he said that, he pulled Little Rich Son''s hand and walked in the direction of the Purple Vine Academy.


    Because of his excitement, Jin Weiwei did not see the complex expression on Little Rich Son''s face, nor his hand which was hidden in his sleeve.


    At the center of the large stone table was a round box surrounded by fine dishes.


    It was not too early, could it be that Jin Weiwei wanted to have a midnight snack?


    "Have you eaten dinner after staying in the study for so long?"


    Jin Weiwei asked even though she knew the answer. She had specifically instructed the people in the residence not to call Little Rich Son at dinner.


    Little Rich Son shook his head. After Jin Weiwei''s reminder, he was indeed two parts hungry.


    Seeing Little Rich Son shake his head, Jin Weiwei smiled and gave Little Rich Son a bowl of rice and said: "Eat first, we will only sleep when we have time today."


    Little Rich Son revealed a puzzled look: "Why do you want to sleep during this time?"


    "You''ll know when the time comes."


    The smile on Jin Weiwei''s mouth was somewhat uncontrollable. She felt excited and happy when she thought of how it was her birthday accompanying Little Rich Son after midnight.


    Just as Jin Weiwei was rejoicing, Little Rich Son suddenly held her hand with a serious expression.


    Jin Weiwei turned his head, his eyes filled with suspicions. Is there something wrong?


    "Weiwei, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, this is for you."


    As he spoke, he placed a long, cloth-wrapped piece of cloth into Jin Weiwei''s palm.


    When she opened the cloth bag, she was already so happy that she didn''t know what to say. The hairpin in her hand was paired with the moonlight, releasing a faint blue and gentle light, it was so beautiful that it didn''t seem like something that should exist in this world.


    Touching the hairpin and its rough edges, Jin Weiwei took a closer look and discovered that it was filled with marks left behind by a blade. He was not very familiar with sharpening and there were also a lot of edges that had not been sharpened.


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei did not say a word, Little Rich Son thought that she was dissatisfied and frowned, wanting to take the thing back.


    "What?"


    Unexpectedly, Jin Weiwei retracted his hand and looked at him angrily.


    In the next second, Jin Weiwei smiled, and handed the hairpin to him: "Put it on me."


    Little Rich Son realised, with a smile on his face, he welcomed the moonlight and brought Jin Weiwei a hairpin.


    "Why are you always giving me jewelry these days?"


    Jin Weiwei thought that it was weird. Last time, she had worn a red jewel on her head too, but in the past, Little Rich Son would never do such a thing.


    "Mo Feng said that all women like jewelry, don''t you?"


    Little Rich Son frowned, and began to seriously consider this question.


    "I like it, but girls like more than these."


    Jin Weiwei touched the hairpin on his head. He really liked it, so he turned around and hugged Little Rich Son, wanting to tease him.


    "What do you like?"


    However, Jin Weiwei discovered that her eyes were filled with tenderness, indulgence, and her heart instantly softened. She couldn''t stand Little Rich Son''s actions the most.


    "I even like you!"


    Little Rich Son was startled, and in the next second, a certain someone''s face enlarged in front of Jin Weiwei''s eyes, followed by the gentleness of the corner of his mouth.


    After a long while, Little Rich Son finally let go of Jin Weiwei and said softly: "You''re not allowed to tell others about this to anyone else."


    Jin Weiwei''s face turned slightly red, and said in a muffled voice, "Others may not look as good as you ¡­"


    "Aiya, eating and eating. The food will become cold in a while."


    Jin Weiwei interrupted, afraid that this kind of atmosphere would cause something unspeakable to happen.


    After the meal, the two of them sat at the stone table looking at the big round moon.


    Little Rich Son turned his head to look at Jin Weiwei''s tiny head, and couldn''t help but say: "Go back and sleep."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei immediately became alert, his face full of determination: "No, I must wait for my son''s time. If I fall asleep, if you dare carry me back, I won''t care about you anymore."


    "Alright."


    Helplessly stroking Jin Weiwei''s hair, he pulled her into his embrace.


    After an unknown period of time, Jin Weiwei finally heard a loud and clear bell chime.


    She, who was napping in Little Rich Son''s embrace, immediately became spirited.

 C206

    Looking at the clock at the side, Jin Weiwei thought that the one hundred silver was not spent in vain, and his Wonder House was not running in vain.


    He took off the cape on his body and returned it to Little Rich Son, then happily took off the lid of the box in the middle of the stone table.


    Instantly, a fragrance that belonged solely to the pastries dispersed, vaguely accompanied by the fragrance of milk.


    This was the sponge cake that Jin Weiwei made twice when he failed, the cream that he beat up with egg white for god knows how long, and the milk that Jin Weiwei bought from an unknown source of treasure.


    Jin Weiwei smelled that something was wrong with the milk. She reckoned that it was not the milk of the cows, but it was not bad that they could find the milk of the cows in this dynasty.


    "What is this?"


    Little Rich Son felt it was strange. Walking closer, there was another line of words on it: Little Rich Son, happy birthday!


    Actually, Jin Weiwei thought about this line of words many times, but in the end, he realized that it wasn''t as realistic as this sentence.


    "The pastries for my birthday. They were called birthday cakes in my day."


    Jin Weiwei carefully looked at Little Rich Son''s expression, and saw that his shock had turned into happiness from the start. Even though there weren''t many changes on his face, she could still see the changes in his eyes.


    "Is that the white dot on your face?"


    Little Rich Son asked as he remembered the item that was erased for Jin Weiwei just now.


    "Ah?" Do I have cream on my face? "


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei immediately reached out to touch it, but discovered that there was nothing, and the moment he lifted his head, both his hands were grasped in Little Rich Son''s hands.


    His clear and deep eyes flashed with gentleness, and his face showed obvious happiness.


    "Weiwei..."


    "I... I also have candles for my birthday. "


    Jin Weiwei swallowed her saliva and said softly. Although she really wanted to kiss Little Rich Son on the mouth, she had more important things to do right now.


    "Hmm?"


    As he thought about it, Jin Weiwei pushed Little Rich Son away, took out a thin candle that she had specially made for him, inserted it into the cake, and lit it.


    "Make a wish, blow out the candle, and then you can eat the cake."


    Little Rich Son felt a burst of novelty. He had never seen someone''s birthday like this before.


    Seeing the happiness on Jin Weiwei''s face, he decided to follow suit.


    "Even if I can''t accompany you every birthday in the future, you have to remember this day. Do you hear me?"


    Seeing that he had completed his wish, Jin Weiwei raised her head and looked extremely proud.


    "No, I won''t allow you to leave."


    As he spoke, the look in Little Rich Son''s eyes changed, it became somewhat terrifying, as if if if Jin Weiwei abandoned him, he could desperately capture Jin Weiwei and lock him up for his entire life.


    "You have to promise me that you won''t leave no matter what."


    Jin Weiwei suddenly hugged Little Rich Son, her heart aching, in truth she was afraid, she gave Little Rich Son such a diligent birthday, just wanting him to remember more, so that he wouldn''t be captivated by other women.


    "Nope."


    Little Rich Son responded quickly. The shadows of the two people in each other''s embrace lengthened under the moonlight.


    "..."


    The next day, Jin Weiwei woke up as it was late in the morning. She was already busy with work, as if it was time for her to have some rest.


    "Hmm ¡­" Thinking this, Jin Weiwei fell asleep again.


    Like this, near noon, Jin Weiwei finally woke up.


    She had really slept too late last night. She ate so much that she couldn''t fall asleep, even Little Rich Son had stayed with her.


    He touched the side and felt the cold. They had clearly slept at the same time, yet they had woken up so early?


    "Pearls, Emerald, did you see where Little Rich Son went?"


    The two of them shook their heads. When they woke up, the sky had just brightened up, and seeing that Jin Weiwei''s door had not been opened, they thought that Little Rich Son was inside as well.


    "Alright, leave him be. Hurry up and help me to make a comeback."


    Looking at her full head of long hair, Jin Weiwei felt troubled. She had been in the Ancient Realm for such a long time, other than dressing up and putting on a simple bun, the complicated her really couldn''t be.


    After washing up and eating breakfast, Jin Weiwei walked towards the rice noodles.


    However, he found that the streets were rather gloomy and there were only a few people walking on the streets.


    "Has anything happened recently? Why is there no one here? "


    She had discovered this situation a few days ago. At first, she thought that the peddlers on the streets had all gone home, so it seemed like there were less people. However, there were a lot of shops here and it was usually crowded.


    "I heard that a lot of people have gotten sick recently. I don''t know if it''s because of the new season or some other reason."


    She was usually the one who gossiped the most, and she knew a lot.


    "You said that a lot of people have been sick recently?"


    Jin Weiwei suddenly frowned, and turned to look at the jade.


    Jadeite nodded. What''s so strange about that? There must be a lot of sick people in the season.


    A terrifying thought had taken root in the bottom of Jin Weiwei''s heart. She turned her head and immediately headed towards the Palace.


    Since Jin Weiwei wanted to finish looking at the Rice Noodle Roll today, he decided to take a stroll around the streets to see if there were anything that he needed to buy.


    The moment he returned to his residence, Jin Weiwei immediately rushed in front of Yuanbao. "Yuanbao, go and take a look at the population of those who are sick in the county.


    Seeing Jin Weiwei''s face filled with panic, the ingot frowned, and immediately left the manor.


    "Mistress, how do you know all this?"


    Isn''t it normal for someone to be sick? This sort of thing needed attention.


    Jin Weiwei was immersed in his own thoughts, he did not hear the jade''s words, and directly walked towards the study room.


    She needed to calm down and think about whether she had made a big fuss over this matter.


    Now, all he had to do was wait for news of the ingot.


    After an unknown period of time, the censer beside Jin Weiwei changed its shadow and the ingot returned.


    "How is it?"


    Most people get cold first, followed by fever, headaches, vomiting and diarrhea. When the disease occurs, their body will feel sore and weak.


    "Did you ask them all?"


    Jin Weiwei was a little anxious. This symptoms was too similar to malaria.


    "All of them."


    The ingot frowned, clearly feeling that the matter wasn''t simple.


    "¡­"


    After being silent for a long while, Jin Weiwei raised his head, and said with a serious face: "How did you deal with the Qing Zhu in the villa?"


    "Wash it and dry it, then put it in the warehouse."


    "Go and plant another batch. Grow all the crops here as well. If there is anything, pull it all out and plant it all!"


    Jin Weiwei stood up, her eyes a little red. Right now, she was almost certain that something big would happen to her Lishui County in a few days.


    "Pearl Jadeite, send an order to the residence to isolate the sick servants. Everyone''s room should be sprinkled with lime every day. It will be stained once with wormwood."


    After he finished speaking, Jin Weiwei then looked at Yuan Bao, "Prepare the carriage, I want to go to the county magistrate court."


    She told Wang Hai about such an important matter. Even though it couldn''t be avoided, she had to make some preparations.


    "..."


    The recent Wang Hai was extremely busy, and had finally solved the problem of the flood. The dam had been repaired, and all that was left was the Clear Water County''s house, which was already half repaired and half settled down.


    Now that half the people here were sick again, he couldn''t just ignore them.

 C207

    "Master, Madame Jin of the Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop requests an audience."


    Wang Hai frowned when he heard it. What was Jin Weiwei doing here? Did he come to ask for something again?


    "Bring her in."


    No matter what, Jin Weiwei was still someone close to Ji Jingzhi, if he did not give him face, then he would offend him.


    "Sir Wang, I now want to talk to you about an urgent matter. Can you let everyone around you go?"


    Wang Hai was frightened by Jin Weiwei''s anxious and serious look, and immediately called for the people around him to get down.


    Only then did he ask, "What happened?"


    "Master Wang, there might be malaria on the Lishui County."


    "Malaria?" Wang Hai was confused, what was this sickness?


    "It''s the plague!"


    "What!"


    Wang Hai stood up in shock, then continued to speak: "Master Wang, has the number of people with sick Lishui County been increasing recently, and is there a trend for more and more of them?"


    Wang Hai was startled for a long time before he managed to recover his voice. "This, this is no small matter.


    Even Wang Hai himself didn''t realize that his voice was trembling, afraid. Yes, the number of sick people in his Lishui County had been increasing, and he just didn''t want to think in that direction.


    "Lord Wang, this sick person''s body first gets cold, then he gets hot, and then accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, his limbs are powerless, he sleeps very vigorously, but he continues to sleep very repeatedly, and his illness is even more severe. This is a symptom of the majority of the citizens in Lishui County, little lady, you definitely aren''t joking with me!"


    Seeing that Wang Hai did not believe her, Jin Weiwei became even more anxious, this thing must die, does it look like her face was lying?


    "¡­"


    After hearing what Jin Weiwei had to say, Wang Hai sat paralyzed on his chair. He had looked for a doctor to check on the common people''s illnesses before, and it was indeed the symptoms, only that the doctor mentioned Feng Han.


    "If you don''t believe me, please send someone to the refugees'' area to see if the number of patients there is higher than before!"


    Jin Weiwei was so anxious that she almost died. If it wasn''t for her identity, she really wanted to go up and wake Wang Hai up. He was still stunned!


    "I will report this matter to the imperial government. Before that, we cannot tell the citizens of Lishui County."


    Wang Hai''s hands trembled as he tried his best to suppress his uncalmness.


    Plague!


    What kind of concept was that!


    Recalling the plague from the previous dynasty, more than a hundred thousand people died in one plague. It was only because of this that the dynasty was weakened and eventually their country was exterminated.


    He didn''t want to be the sinner of Big Liang.


    "Master Wang, now you should separate the patients with or suspected of being plague from each other. Then, you should sprinkle some lime all over the Lishui County and smoke them with Ai Hui. Otherwise, the plague will spread even faster."


    "No, no! If we really do that, there will be people who will suspect and cause panic among the people. When something uncontrollable happens, can you take responsibility? "


    Hearing that, Wang Hai became anxious.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei became angry, slapped his hand on the table, and said sternly: "It''s something that only exists for nothing, and is important! Life is still more important! Let me tell you, if you don''t prepare now, the consequences will be even worse than now! "


    With that, Jin Weiwei left, she was afraid that if she continued to stay, she would not be able to hold back and beat people up.


    None of these officials were good! They were all thinking about their own reputation.


    Jin Weiwei thought angrily, but as soon as he returned to his residence he began to instruct Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, take your people to the streets and buy a pile of wormwood and lime. Don''t open the front of the store for now, just sprinkle it with a little disinfectant every day, and pay attention to the village as well.


    Originally, Jin Weiwei wanted to control the refugees area, but after thinking about it another way, her actions were very inappropriate. As a county student, Wang Hai did not do anything, but after doing all these, in the end, wasn''t there something bad that she could do?


    It wasn''t that she was cold and emotionless, but that no matter what the way was, a person couldn''t be too good at anything.


    Even after waiting for two days, Wang Hai still had not made any movements. Jin Weiwei was convinced now, compared to his life, was there anything more important?


    On this day, Little Rich Son suddenly appeared, and it was even without Jin Weiwei''s preparation that he appeared.


    The moment he appeared, he gave Jin Weiwei a hug, causing the tightly hugged Jin Weiwei to be unable to breathe.


    "What happened?"


    Jin Weiwei could not help but ask, because Little Rich Son looked to be very anxious.


    "Come back to the capital with me."


    As he said that, he pulled Jin Weiwei''s hand and was about to leave.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei pulled Little Rich Son''s hand away and asked: "What exactly happened?"


    "There''s a plague on my Lishui County."


    Although Little Rich Son''s expression was clearly extremely calm, Jin Weiwei could clearly feel that his hands were trembling. He was afraid.


    Did he return to the capital?


    He even found out about the plague ¡­


    "No."


    Jin Weiwei shook his head, he was unsure about what he should do. Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes became determined, "I have a way to cure this plague, but if I leave, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."


    These words were from the bottom of Jin Weiwei''s heart, why did she say those words? She was afraid that there would be a day when such a situation would occur, and she had the ability to reverse the situation, but now, she clearly had the ability to save him, but she did not.


    "You can treat it? Tell me the prescription, and you can go to Beijing. "


    Little Rich Son frowned, and pulled Jin Weiwei''s hand. The Lishui County below had already become a dangerous place in his eyes, he could not let Jin Weiwei in such a dangerous place.


    Jin Weiwei shook his head and said: "I only have the medicinal herbs to cure the plague, but I don''t have the formula, but I remember one thing, if I were to leave, the speed at which I study the formula will be much slower, and many people will die."


    No matter how vicious Jin Weiwei was, it was impossible for him to disregard life.


    Not the Virgin Mary Sue, but an ordinary person who could not accept the passing of a life.


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son frowned, and looked at Jin Weiwei with a new light in his eyes.


    Maybe the Jin Weiwei of the past loved money too much, so he gave Little Rich Son a different feeling. However, the Jin Weiwei now was just a kind woman, it couldn''t be more normal.


    "Go back to the capital first, this place is very dangerous, don''t worry Regent."


    Since Little Rich Son was able to do this, it meant that the people from Beijing already knew about the plague and were in the process of settling it.


    The only son of the Regent was Ji Jingzhi. If something were to happen to him, Jin Weiwei would feel like collapsing.


    "No, I''ll stay with you."


    Little Rich Son directly rejected him, there was a hint of anger in his eyes, probably because he was dissatisfied with Jin Weiwei''s actions of pushing him out.


    "But ¡­"


    "If you can be here, so can I!"


    The somewhat low and deep voice made Jin Weiwei shut his mouth, just like how Little Rich Son didn''t want to see her WeChat, where their hearts were both the same.

 C208

    Before the imperial edict could be passed down, something happened within the Lishui County.


    Jin Weiwei woke up early to see the servants sprinkling lime and smoked wormwood, but he never stopped frowning.


    "This is bad!" Not good! Master! "


    Suddenly, Jadeite was shocked as he ran into the courtyard. Jin Weiwei''s heart tensed up when he heard the frantic shouting.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Many people have died in the refugee camps in the eastern suburbs. These people are pale and skinny. There''s black blood on their noses and mouths. Everyone says it''s a plague ¡­"


    After saying that, Jadeite covered his mouth and burst into tears. If it really was a plague, then wouldn''t everyone here be able to escape?


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei''s face changed, Pearl slapped on the back of the jade and scolded: "What nonsense are you spouting! Not sure yet... "


    "She''s right, the plague."


    Against all of their expectations, even Jin Weiwei herself had not expected that she would calm down at this point in time.


    "The Cheng family and the Wonder House, has the company sent any messages yet?"


    "Someone handed it over yesterday ¡­" Master, leave this place. "


    No one knew when the ingot appeared, but the concern and anxiety in its eyes could not be concealed.


    Jin Weiwei shook his head.


    "But master, many merchants have retreated. This is a plague. You can''t save people, and no one will say anything after you leave!"


    Jadeite was anxious. She could be considered someone who had experienced a disaster before. The disaster was already very scary, but the plague was an even more terrifying existence.


    "It''s too late."


    After Jin Weiwei finished speaking, he turned and entered the room, locking everyone outside.


    "..." "What should we do?"


    Jadeite felt some despair, and started crying while squatting on the ground.


    "What are you crying for!?" Our lives were saved by Master. If we die to accompany Master, then at least we will be able to repay Master.


    Pearl''s face was filled with anger as she looked at the disappointing emerald. The firmness in her eyes caused the fear in the emerald to lessen by half.


    She knew about the plague and needed to pay special attention to hygiene. If that was the case, then it was very likely that the water in the well that was dug out from the inside of the manor would have been brought in from the outside. The ones that died would not only be people, but animals as well, if they drank this kind of water, they would definitely suffer from an infectious disease.


    Entering the space, a red figure suddenly pounced on her, hugging her face and licking it.


    Jin Weiwei crippled his boss''s strength and pulled out the agate. He found that the agate was already bigger than her palm and more plump now.


    These were not the main point!


    Jin Weiwei put down the Agate, and said: "Agate, be quiet. I have an urgent matter to take care of right now.


    The Agate looked at her as if she understood something, but on the contrary, she quieted down and followed beside her.


    Jin Weiwei filled the two buckets that he had brought with him with lakewater and easily brought them up.


    The Agate looked at Jin Weiwei''s back and let out a few lonely "wu wu" sounds, before running back to the lush forest and falling asleep.


    Everyone was worrying themselves, when they suddenly heard a door open, and saw Jin Weiwei taking out two big pails of water from her room.


    Pearl Jadeite Jadeite immediately went forward to help them, only then did Jin Weiwei look at them.


    "If you can buy food from the outside, then don''t buy it from the outside. If you can''t use meat dishes, then burn them directly. Yuanbao, pick out a few servants with strong bodies who can swim. Follow me to take a look at the well where we can drink water."


    Yuan Bao nodded and turned around to leave. He wiped away his tears and asked, "Mistress, what do you want to do?"


    "Do something that will prevent you from getting the plague, by the way ¡­" "Forget it, I''ll draw a map later. You two take the maidservants with you to do it."


    Jin Weiwei suddenly thought back to the masks in her previous life, which could effectively prevent infection, it was just that no one in this era knew, she could only have Pearl bring people to make pictures later.


    "..."


    "The rope is tied. Let''s go down to the bottom of the well to see if it''s connected to the outside world. Right, don''t drink water from the well."


    Jin Weiwei instructed the servant who was about to go down the well meticulously.


    After waiting for a long time, the servant climbed up, gasping for breath.


    "Do you feel that the flow of water in the well is extremely fast? Or is there a fish? "


    The servant shook his head.


    Seeing that, Jin Weiwei was more at ease, and poured half of the bucket into it.


    "I can use this water in the future. Take me to the next well."


    "Mistress, what kind of water is this?" "Can you stop us from getting pestilence?"


    Jin Weiwei was startled, she had almost forgotten that these people did not know she had space!


    This, this water, it must be special water. I''ve used special herbs to soak it, and it can make it colorless and tasteless. If this goes on, I can prevent the plague from spreading to it.


    Jin Weiwei''s face was filled with impatience, but no one dared to say anything.


    Patting his chest with a guilty conscience, Jin Weiwei secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately she had reacted quickly, otherwise, she would have been exposed!


    Just like this, Jin Weiwei found four useful water wells and a well. The person who went down could clearly feel the turbulent water flow and the dead fish.


    After the servant came up, Jin Weiwei immediately asked Yuanbao to bring over the medicine that had long been fried using the green grass. She did not know the formula for malaria, she only told people to fry the pepper and the green grass together.


    If it was in the modern world, Jin Weiwei would not be so anxious, but this was in the ancient times, so a large number of people would definitely die!


    "In the future, everyone should remember, other than this well, all other wells can be used. Also, you are not allowed to buy meat outside, remember this well!"


    Jin Weiwei instructed again, everyone nodded with a serious expression.


    Seeing how Jin Weiwei arranged everything so methodically, everyone felt a bit more at ease, because looking at Jin Weiwei''s appearance, there seemed to be a way ¡­


    "..."


    After he finished dealing with the matter at the well, Jin Weiwei started to draw a mask in his study.


    Just as he finished drawing, Pearl Jadeite ran in.


    "Mistress, this servant just asked around outside. Those merchants who ran away were all stopped by the county magistrate. The imperial edict has been passed down, saying that the current Lishui County and Clear Water County are forbidden from entering and exiting. Those who disobey will be executed."


    Saying so, both of them had a look of worry on their faces. This kind of news meant that the imperial government had abandoned them, didn''t it?


    It was not easy to survive the flood, but there was still the plague ¡­ How hard their lives were.


    Jin Weiwei had kept her head down the entire time, only then did the two realise that Jin Weiwei did not seem to hear them. After being stunned for a moment, Jin Weiwei had already stood up and passed a piece of paper to them.


    He said, "You should have expected something like this. Bring all the girls in the house and do it according to the pictures. Do a little more. Make sure everyone in the house is there."


    The two of them were stunned once again. Why did they feel that the plague was no different from the common cold in their master''s eyes?


    "What are you standing there for? Why aren''t you going yet? "


    "Oh!" The servants will go right away! "


    The two girls recovered their wits and quickly ran out the door.

 C209

    "Mistress, the county lord has arrived."


    Jin Weiwei rubbed her brow impatiently. She had already told Wang Hai that she needed to take care of this matter, and now that she was in trouble, he came to find her. She was truly a good official!


    After exiting the room, a familiar figure suddenly landed beside her and grabbed her hand.


    "What took you so long!" You can''t run around. Did you hear that?


    Once he saw Little Rich Son, Jin Weiwei''s worries that he had been in suspense for the past two days were finally relieved.


    Although he knew about Little Rich Son''s ability, mosquitoes were creatures that could bite you, regardless of whether you had the ability or not.


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei looked like he was about to cry, the coldness between Little Rich Son''s brows softened a lot.


    "I have nothing to do, see Wang Hai."


    With that said, he pulled Jin Weiwei''s hand and walked in the direction of the guest hall.


    Wang Hai anxiously waited for Jin Weiwei. He had never felt the chair under his butt giving him the feeling of sitting on pins and needles.


    "Lord Wang."


    A voice finally came from the door. Wang Hai was so excited that he could no longer care about showing his face.


    "Madame Jin...! prince Jing! "


    When he saw the person beside Jin Weiwei, Wang Hai started to sweat profusely. Ji Jingzhi was from the royal family, so why was he here now?


    A while ago, he heard that Ji Jingzhi had returned to the capital.


    "Lord Wang, what brings you here today?"


    Jin Weiwei looked at Wang Hai''s expression and found it strange. In the past, she only saw Wang Hai with the attitude of a official. Although it was calmer than others, it was still distant.


    Today, he looked like a primary school student who had made a mistake, afraid that he would be punished by his teacher.


    Little Rich Son did not look at Wang Hai, but chose to sit beside him.


    Just this simple action caused Wang Hai''s mind to become unstable.


    "Jin, Madame Jin, you, it''s my fault that I didn''t think about what I said last time, but it has already happened. Madame Jin, please come with me and think of a solution. After all, we are all on the same string now ¡­"


    Wang Hai''s tone of voice became weaker and weaker. He thought about what Jin Weiwei had said to him that day and felt extremely vexed in his heart. Why did he not listen?


    "Lord Wang, still the same old saying, all the sick people must be isolated, and all parts of the Lishui County must be sprinkled with lime and smoked with wormwood. The sick animals must also be disposed of, and the places with plenty of mosquitoes must either be eliminated or the people evacuated."


    Hearing Wang Hai''s words, Jin Weiwei really wanted to roll her eyes, but her logic told her that this was not the time to play around.


    "Okay, but the government has spent all their money on disaster relief ¡­" There are so many sick people, and I have to build another house... "This money ¡­"


    Wang Hai looked at Jin Weiwei with a troubled face. The attitude of the imperial government was still not clear, but once the imperial money came out, all the people from the Lishui County would die.


    "Lord Wang ¡­ You want the Chamber of Commerce to raise funds? "


    Jin Weiwei asked with a fake smile. Not only did she feel that Wang Hai was shameless, even the imperial government was shameless.


    F * ck!


    Which of those bastards in the imperial court didn''t live off the taxes of the commoners and merchants? They were all cowering in fear of encountering a problem!


    As he thought about it, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but have a bit of resentment, he turned and looked at Little Rich Son, whose eyes changed, and said in a low voice: "Father is fighting with the Xu and Zhou Clans."


    Hearing Jin Weiwei''s words, Wang Hai laughed in a low voice, "About that ¡­ That... is to contribute to the country... "


    "Sir Wang, this money can be reimbursed, right?"


    Jin Weiwei revealed his two little canines, looking like he was in a bad mood no matter how one looked at him, especially since one of Jin Weiwei''s hands was grabbing onto Little Rich Son''s little canines.


    Wang Hai''s eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, and he felt resentment in his heart. Why was this Jin Weiwei so hard to deal with!


    Little Rich Son glanced at Jin Weiwei and coughed softly.


    Wang Hai suddenly raised his head, only to see Little Rich Son smiling at him, causing him to feel a chill on his spine.


    "Yes, all the money brought by the merchants can be reimbursed. It can be counted as borrowed money from the government."


    Wang Hai gritted his teeth and said those words. Ever since he managed his Lishui County, he had never said something so cowardly.


    He had witnessed it for himself with Jin Weiwei.


    "So it''s like that, Master Wang should first go back and instruct the people below to sprinkle the lime and smoke the wormwood. No matter what, we need to clean it properly, I will go and discuss it with the Young Master Cheng."


    Speaking to that, Jin Weiwei''s face turned serious.


    Wang Hai nodded repeatedly, her mouth almost reaching the back of her ears. Jin Weiwei was a person with a lot of methods, if she was willing to help, that would be great.


    Once he returned to the Purple Wei Academy, Jin Weiwei''s expression fell, and he didn''t have any good intentions towards Little Rich Son.


    "Weiwei, why did you do this to me?"


    This small, aggrieved tone allowed Jin Weiwei to hear the guilt in his heart.


    Raising his head to look at him, he said coldly, "Why does your imperial government only raise a bunch of trash! Don''t you know that the plague is dangerous? If you can''t even afford this much money, I don''t believe that the prefecture hasn''t written it down in its memorial! "


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son''s face turned slightly embarrassed, she awkwardly coughed twice, but was unable to find any words to refute.


    The people of the imperial government only knew how to wield power, and there was nothing they could do about it.


    "Tell me, does the tax money that the merchants and commoners pay go into the hands of you royalty?" You still say that merchant girls do not know the hatred of their fallen country, and I think that if they do not know the hatred of their fallen country, they will become royalty! "


    "Weiwei... I didn''t. "


    Little Rich Son frowned, his eyes filled with grievance. When Jin Weiwei saw this, he softened his tone: "Alright, alright, I know you''re not, not even the Regent, the Emperor is."


    If the emperor was facing the Regent, the silver would have already arrived. Why would he need to contend with the Zhou family of Xu Family?


    Now it would seem that the Emperor wasn''t a good person either.


    "Go see Cheng Yu later, what''s the matter? "If there''s nothing else, come with me."


    Jin Weiwei felt that since he couldn''t rest at ease while putting Little Rich Son to the side, he might as well stay together with him.


    "Nothing."


    "..."


    Jin Weiwei asked around a few times and finally found out that Cheng Yu was at the Merchant Guild''s stronghold.


    "What''s wrong everyone?"


    "The cargo ship of the Lishui County Chamber of Commerce was burned. The reason is that there''s a plague in the Lishui County, so nothing can come out of it."


    Cheng Yu''s expression was heavy, he also had some goods on him, which were some jade artifacts, and his losses were more disastrous than others.


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei instantly felt a pain in his heart, as droplets of bright colored blood dripped down.


    She said that those people in the imperial government wouldn''t do anything good! It''s not easy to bring back the things! So what if it''s burned? Is there something wrong with him!?


    "So the boat''s gone too?"


    Cheng Yu nodded his head, his face extremely dark. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with the way the imperial government did things.


    "I wanted to send people to find you, but you actually came."


    "I brought good news."


    Jin Weiwei''s mind flashed as she looked at Little Rich Son. She felt that she could recoup all her losses from the imperial government.


    "What good news?"


    Cheng Yu straightened his body. He did not have the time to ask why Little Rich Son, this person who was not from a merchant guild entered the Chamber of Commerce.

 C210

    Jin Weiwei pulled Little Rich Son to find a seat and smiled.


    "Do you want to recover all the lost losses?"


    Hearing this, everyone couldn''t help but look at him with disbelief in their eyes.


    Little Rich Son also turned to look at Jin Weiwei, and seeing her evil grin, he felt like a fox had come out of its hole.


    "If you really have a way, then I can give you the second seat in the company."


    Boss Wang rolled his eyes. "You really know how to boast."


    Jin Weiwei ignored him and looked at Cheng Yu: "Do you want to, Young Master Cheng?"


    "Stop trying to be suspenseful. You must have some sort of plan. Otherwise, you wouldn''t be laughing so happily."


    Cheng Yu said helplessly, as he looked over, his expression became cold.


    "If you want to take all the losses back, I have a way. However, there is a risk involved. Would you like to hear it?"


    She knew that if she were to speak of this matter directly, everyone would only reject her offer. At that time, it would definitely not end well.


    "Because of the plague, everyone is stuck at the Lishui County and can''t leave. If you don''t think of a way, everyone will die here, and at that time, forget about a ship''s worth of goods, even the treasures behind will be taken away by the Shangguan family."


    Hearing that, the Boss Wang snorted: "What exactly do you want to say?"


    When they looked at the rest of the people, they saw that they were getting impatient.


    "Earlier, when the county magistrate found me and wanted everyone to come up with a solution, I came up with one."


    Jin Weiwei paused for a moment, seeing that everyone was listening carefully, he said: "This method is to isolate the victims of the plague from the healthy people, sprinkle the lime, smoke the wormwood, and then study the medicinal herbs used to treat the plague."


    "But the government has used up all its silver, and the court still doesn''t know how long it will take. So I thought, why don''t we all come out together and solve this problem? "


    Right after he finished speaking, Boss Wang rushed to Jin Weiwei with his walking stick. If not for Little Rich Son''s sharp eyes, Jin Weiwei believed that he would vomit on the ground.


    "You really do want to!" Who earned the hard-earned money? If it wasn''t money, would everyone be a fool? Take out money to buy your reputation! Jin Weiwei, you are too disgusting! "


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei almost did not return! F * ck you! Next time, could he finish listening to what she had to say before scolding again?


    "I haven''t even finished speaking, why is Boss Wang so agitated for, just a few times, do you think I would take someone else''s money to buy my reputation?"


    Jin Weiwei endured it, but he was still unable to hold it in.


    He then looked at the crowd and said: "This time it''s not about the collection, but the officials wanting to borrow money from us, we need the IOU. At that time, the ships of the merchant guilds, your goods, we will have the officials borrow money from you, and after all, being trapped in this Lishui County and not caring about anything else, you will all die.


    Jin Weiwei sat on his seat and grinded his teeth as he smiled. He pretended not to see the enmity in the eyes of the people around him. Yes, she was blind!


    Little Rich Son stretched out his hand to hold Jin Weiwei''s hand, and supported him soundlessly. He should be thanking Weiwei, if it was an ordinary person, they would definitely not think too much, and once his father was done with it, the people from Lishui County should also be dead.


    Cheng Yu raised his head to look at Little Rich Son, and thought of the last time he saw the jade thumb ring. Looking at the extraordinary temperament that Little Rich Son had now, it was likely that his identity was not simple, no wonder Jin Weiwei was so confident.


    "Madame Jin, since you said that staying here at Lishui County will kill us, how do we know if the imperial government has given up Lishui County? "What if we pay money and build a place to isolate ourselves, then we can cure the plague?"


    Cheng Yu''s question was also what everyone was worried about. If they could pay for their own lives, why not, but who had the confidence to cure the plague?


    "Yeah, who knows if we will die after paying the price? Madame Jin, this is a plague, not a flood! "


    Her words were filled with ridicule and bitterness. She did not like Jin Weiwei ever since he entered the merchant guild, and regardless of her appearance, manner of speech or actions, she would flaunt her haughtiness and disdain.


    Jin Weiwei looked towards the man, and realised that the woman''s eyes were intentionally or unintentionally looking at Little Rich Son who was beside her, her eyes, could even be compared to the woman''s.


    Oh, what courage.


    "What if I say I have a way to cure the plague?"


    When these words were spoken, the entire hall was shocked. The silk-silk merchant''s mouth crooked as he mocked: "Madame Jin, for your own reputation, you really don''t need to pay any price!"


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s cold eyes swept over her, his brows raised.


    "You think I''m joking?"


    Boss Zhuang was frightened by her gaze and shut his mouth.


    "If you don''t believe me, you can just ignore me. You can pretend that you didn''t hear me. Anyways, everyone is going to die, right?"


    With that, he ignored the angered gazes of the crowd and pulled Little Rich Son''s hand, leaving the merchant guild.


    "Weiwei?"


    Hearing Little Rich Son''s doubt, Jin Weiwei turned his head and laughed, "If this goes on, it will only make people think that I''m noisy, and won''t believe me in the end."


    Actually, Jin Weiwei felt a little guilty, she had the antidote to cure the plague, but she didn''t know the prescription.


    The people in the company would definitely give her money, but whether or not she could get her prescription out was already up to the question.


    "Have we been sleeping in space recently for the sake of safety?"


    After getting on the carriage, Jin Weiwei lifted the curtain and saw the depression on the outside, he softly said to Little Rich Son who was beside him.


    "Alright."


    The one who responded was Little Rich Son with a trace of doting voice.


    When he returned to his residence, his nose was filled with the pungent smell of lime and wormwood. Jin Weiwei uncomfortably wrinkled his nose.


    After finding the Pearl Jadeite duo, he discovered that they already had quite a few masks placed around them.


    Jin Weiwei picked one up and passed it to Little Rich Son. Under his doubtful gaze, he put on a mask.


    "What is this for?"


    "To prevent bacterial infection."


    Due to the mask, Jin Weiwei''s voice was a little muffled, but one could still hear him clearly.


    "Hmm? Bacteria? "


    "It''s to prevent the plague. Although it can''t be completely blocked, it can still reduce the probability."


    Seeing that Little Rich Son was still in a daze, Jin Weiwei immediately put it on.


    It was probably because he had just put it on that it was stuffy, causing Little Rich Son to uncomfortably pull it a few times, but in the end, he was unable to take it off.


    "..."


    At night, Jin Weiwei carried Wen Mo into the space.


    Little Rich Son frowned, his face filled with suspicions: "What are you thinking?"


    "Don''t be noisy, I''m thinking of a cure for malaria."


    Jin Weiwei bit his pen and replied impatiently.


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son did not speak anymore, and looked at the agate that had been hostile towards him for a long time, before carrying the bedding and going to make the bed.


    "Howl!"


    Agate followed Little Rich Son to his side and complained.


    Little Rich Son looked at it strangely, then raised its neck. Why did he feel that this little thing was scolding him?


    "Howl!" "Howl!"


    The Agate which had been grabbed by the back of Fate''s neck was desperately trying to pull towards Jin Weiwei''s direction.

 C211

    But Jin Weiwei had been thinking about something, and yet he hadn''t noticed it.


    After a while, the agate stopped struggling and turned back to look at Little Rich Son, moving its lips.


    Just as Little Rich Son was pondering, the agate suddenly snorted, and a sticky liquid appeared on Little Rich Son''s face.


    The scene froze for a few seconds.


    Suddenly, Jin Weiwei''s entire body shivered. He hugged his arms and rubbed them, and when he turned around, he found Little Rich Son by the side of the pool washing his face non-stop.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Jin Weiwei was curious, this scene looked like he was being played around with.


    Little Rich Son raised his head, sparkling and translucent water droplets slid down his face, Agate''s heart inexplicably trembled, and hid behind Jin Weiwei.


    Little Rich Son turned around, and stared at the agate for a few seconds, then shook his head: "Nothing."


    Jin Weiwei raised her eyebrows. She looked back and forth between man and beast a few times, why did she feel that something was wrong?


    What Jin Weiwei didn''t know was that while she was sleeping, Little Rich Son caught the Agate and dug a hole. He buried half of its body into the ground and even tied a piece of cloth around its mouth.


    After finishing everything, Little Rich Son hugged Jin Weiwei and slept as if nothing had happened.


    On the second day, when he woke up, and just as he exited the space, Jin Weiwei strangely looked back and said: "Why is the Agate so quiet today? He comes every time I go out. "


    Hearing Jin Weiwei''s words, Little Rich Son''s eyes flashed, and looked towards the center of the field.


    "..."


    Just as he finished dressing, before Jin Weiwei even had time to eat breakfast, he heard the message from the ingot.


    "Master, Young Master Cheng, Boss Wang, Boss Zhuang, all the people that can come to the Chamber of Commerce are here, do you want to see master?"


    "See you!"


    Jin Weiwei pushed the door open, he was no longer in the mood to eat breakfast, and went straight to the hall.


    "Breakfast is delivered to the room."


    After giving the orders to the pearl, Little Rich Son also left for the place where Jin Weiwei disappeared to.


    "..."


    "Good morning, everyone."


    Approaching the hall, Jin Weiwei purposely tidied up his appearance, so that he looked extremely imposing, before entering the hall.


    Jin Weiwei was startled when he saw the people in the hall.


    "What is everyone doing here?"


    Jin Weiwei asked even though she knew the reason. How could she not know why this group of people were here?


    Wasn''t it because these people were too infuriating? She wanted to let these people have a taste of being angered. Did she really think that her lifespan was so long that she could often be infuriated!?


    Seeing that Boss Wang was about to jump out, Cheng Yu reached out his hand to stop him, and said while standing up: "Madame Jin, we thought about your words when we went back yesterday.


    Jin Weiwei picked his ears, she liked what Cheng Yu said the most.


    "You really want to listen to everything I say?"


    Jin Weiwei raised his eyebrows and asked. Cheng Yu nodded, Jin Weiwei''s gaze swept across the two people from Boss Wang, and said coldly: "Aren''t there two more who are unconvinced?"


    Everyone looked at the two of them, and the expressions on their faces became awkward. What Jin Weiwei meant was for them to give up, they were both of the same level, Jin Weiwei was not giving them any face.


    In truth, Jin Weiwei did not want to give face to the two of them, but if the two of them did not lower their heads, Cheng Yu''s words would become empty words, and no one would listen to what she said.


    "Madame Jin, I, Zhuang Xiaodie, am willing to listen to you."


    Rather than being humiliated by Jin Weiwei, it was better than waiting for his death in Lishui County!


    When he finished, he was left with only Boss Wang. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he coughed twice, and admitted defeat to Jin Weiwei: "Madame Jin, I am also willing to listen to you."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Boss Wang''s temperament was not that stubborn.


    "Everyone, since everyone is listening to me, let''s head to the county magistrate court now and look for His Royal Highness."


    Jin Weiwei laughed, and realized that Little Rich Son was standing at the door, holding something in his hand.


    Jin Weiwei took the lead, and when they passed through the gate, he easily dragged Little Rich Son away.


    "You haven''t eaten breakfast yet."


    Someone reminded him softly.


    "You won''t die from hunger if you don''t eat a meal."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei replied. Unexpectedly, Little Rich Son''s face darkened even more.


    "Alright, alright, come back and eat."


    Jin Weiwei curled her lips, she really did raise a man that liked to get angry.


    Wang Hai, who was ordering people to help, suddenly received a report from his subordinate.


    "Master, Madame Jin and a group of Young Master Cheng have come to the magistrate court."


    The way they looked at it made it seem like they were here for a group fight.


    Jin Weiwei did not think about all these. The only reason she had brought so many people was because the officials would write IOU and take back all the goods they had lost.


    If Wang Hai was not willing to, she would have the Lishui County merchants not pay. She wanted to see who was the more anxious one!


    "Greetings, Lord Wang."


    Jin Weiwei took the lead, and the people at the back also bowed to Wang Hai. One or two of them usually had some background, and were not afraid in the slightest.


    "Is Madame Jin willing to borrow money? The merchants behind us are also willing to lend money! "


    Wang Hai asked with uncertainty.


    "Sir Wang, we would like to ask, were the merchant ships in Yunhai County burnt by the authorities?"


    Hearing that, Wang Hai suddenly had a bad premonition, but he still admitted it.


    "Yes."


    "Then since it was done by the government, does that mean the government will compensate us as well?"


    There was nothing good in the world for them to want to take advantage of something that had destroyed them.


    "Madame Jin, we were not talking about this yesterday."


    Wang Hai''s face changed. He finally understood what the group of people meant.


    If not for Ji Jingzhi''s tacit approval and the fact that he was signing IOU to the imperial government, Wang Hai would never have dared to think about such a thing.


    Seeing that the faces of the two parties were not well, Jin Weiwei walked forward and pulled Wang Hai to the side, and said: "Master Wang, in truth, I do not wish to do this, but everyone''s losses are quite heavy, furthermore the original prince knows about this matter, does Master Wang still need to be afraid of not giving himself a proper name?"


    Hearing this, Wang Hai seriously pondered for a moment. Raising his head, he realized that Little Rich Son was standing not too far away, looking at him.


    "Alright, but what happened to the losses? I''m not the only one who got into trouble."


    Wang Hai made a symbolic threat, but Jin Weiwei nodded, she did not care! If she didn''t give the people from the Chamber of Commerce some benefits, how could they listen to her?


    If this group of people disobeyed, everyone would really die here in Lishui County.


    "I''ll donate 10,000 taels."


    Jin Weiwei was not anxious, she was the first to pay, and was not panicking, because she had a hundred thousand gold from Little Rich Son, and was even offering it to Buddha.


    The promissory note was personally written by Wang Hai. Seeing Wang Hai''s ugly expression, Jin Weiwei felt some sympathy for him.


    "Sir Wang, I have about thirty baskets of sausages on the merchant ship. According to the original price, it should be around two hundred taels."


    With that, Jin Weiwei revealed her two little canines, looking extremely innocent.

 C212

    Wang Hai was so angry by Jin Weiwei''s harmless look that his hands were trembling. He could already imagine the attack that the imperial government would make on him, whether or not he could get promoted next year was already a problem.


    Right now, he was only hoping that the Lishui County would continue to plague him and protect the black muslin hat on his head.


    "Alright, next."


    Wang Hai''s face did not look good, and handed the IOU with the official seal on it to Jin Weiwei, then looked at Cheng Yu who was behind him.


    Jin Weiwei took the IOU and looked it over. After confirming that there were no tricks involved, he put it into his sleeves and heard Wang Hai''s words, "Master Wang, can you gather all the doctors in the Lishui County together to study the cure for the plague?"


    Hearing that, Wang Hai stroked his beard, and squinted to look at Jin Weiwei, and asked: "Does Madame Jin have a prescription?"


    "Yes, but I only remember one thing. I need the help of a lot of doctors."


    Jin Weiwei laughed, since he had obtained some benefits, he naturally had to do something good.


    However, what he did not know was that Jin Weiwei''s words made Wang Hai excited: "Madame Jin, are you serious?"


    "Seriously."


    "Good, good, the heavens will not kill me, Wang Hai ¡­" Lishui County, Madame Jin, from now on, I will listen to whatever you say about the plague! "


    Wang Hai said excitedly, saliva was flowing out of his mouth, Jin Weiwei took a step back and raised his eyebrows at Wang Hai, was there really a need to be so agitated?


    Jin Weiwei did not know that in the past few days, the imperial government had continuously sent out several official letters, ordering Wang Hai to ensure that those who managed the Lishui County did not run around randomly, and that he would need to deal with the plague, otherwise it would be the crime of clan extermination.


    This was the reason why Wang Hai was so agitated right now.


    "Lord Wang, I''m afraid that''s not appropriate."


    She only wanted to help the common people of Lishui County as much as possible, not take all the responsibility on herself. What if something were to happen?


    At that time, being kind would become a bad thing.


    Madame Jin, you don''t have to worry. Not only everyone in the Lishui County, the officials also have to listen to the Madame Jin, as long as the Madame Jin is able to handle it. "


    Wang Hai laughed, and looked towards Little Rich Son''s direction with the corner of his eyes. If Ji Jingzhi''s men took the matter away, then the black cloth hat on his head could be considered as having been protected.


    Jin Weiwei frowned, she really did not dare to act rashly regarding this official situation, since Little Rich Son''s identity was shocking, Jin Weiwei did not want to cause him any trouble.


    "Cough."


    Coughing, Jin Weiwei raised his head and saw Little Rich Son walking towards her. What does that mean?


    Does she care?


    "Why?"


    Jin Weiwei could not help but ask, everyone only saw Little Rich Son prostrating himself next to Jin Weiwei''s ears, talking about something.


    After Jin Weiwei recovered from his shock, he smiled at Wang Hai: "Since that''s the case, I will not disappoint you, Master Wang."


    Cheng Yu''s expression immediately changed, and he said: "Madame Jin, this matter is extremely important, we should think about it!"


    With that, he looked towards Little Rich Son. Just who was this person next to Jin Weiwei that had changed his mind with just a few words?


    "I have already decided, Young Master Cheng need not worry."


    Jin Weiwei laughed indifferently, and then left with Little Rich Son.


    Upon reaching the carriage, Jin Weiwei''s expression changed, full of fear and unease.


    "Are you sure?"


    Jin Weiwei turned his head and asked. What Little Rich Son had told her before, was that Ji Changhuai had already sent a few imperial physicians over, and they were all knowledgeable about the plague. It was just that something was wrong with the imperial government, causing Ji Changhuai to be unable to pull away.


    Therefore, Little Rich Son agreed to Wang Hai''s suggestion.


    "Don''t worry, nothing will happen."


    Little Rich Son said firmly as he covered Jin Weiwei''s somewhat ice-cold hand.


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei grasped Little Rich Son''s hand instead, the heat from his palm allowing Jin Weiwei''s heart to calm down.


    Since Little Rich Son said that nothing bad would happen, then nothing bad would happen. Even if something bad happened, she believed that Little Rich Son would protect her.


    In the morning of the next day, Jin Weiwei brought the doctors summoned by the officials to differentiate the sick and sick.


    Putting everything else aside, she couldn''t allow the number of people who were infected to increase.


    "Jin, Madame Jin, I still have a family of old and young. They don''t want to die so quickly, this is a plague, an contagious plague. Although I''m a doctor, I don''t know how to treat this plague, it''s just a waste of my life right?"


    Once they were there, Jin Weiwei knew that the doctors that the officials had invited were not voluntary. Among them, they either used their families to threaten them, or they used pure force to invite them.


    After knowing about it, Jin Weiwei''s mouth twitched, it turned out that it was also because someone like Wang Hai suddenly became naughty ¡­ So despicable.


    "Everyone, quiet down. Listen to me."


    Today, Jin Weiwei was dressed in beige clothes, and didn''t have any gorgeous jewelry, so he looked extremely calm and gentle.


    Jin Weiwei was intentionally dressed like that. At this time, what everyone wanted was not a leader who was swift and decisive, but someone who could resonate with them.


    Sure enough, after Jin Weiwei spoke, everyone quietened down.


    "I know that everyone is very afraid of the plague, but I have seen this plague before."


    Jin Weiwei said with incomparable sincerity. Actually, she had never seen it before, and had only seen it online.


    "Madame Jin, since you''ve seen it before, how can you survive? This means that you know how to treat the plague, right?"


    After hearing what Jin Weiwei said, a doctor''s eyes lit up. In his eyes, Jin Weiwei had become a ray of hope.


    "I only remember one thing, and I also grew one of the most important medicinal ingredients. I''ll tell everyone, this plague is called malaria, and it can only be transmitted through mosquito bites. It doesn''t spread between people, so later on ¡­"


    "Since you don''t even know the prescription, how would we know if what you just said is true or not? Are you lying to us big fellows!?"


    Hearing that Jin Weiwei did not know, some people got excited.


    She understood the fear these people were feeling, but it still made her angry!


    "There''s no need for me to lie to you guys, I''m also here in Lishui County, if I really want to die, everyone will die together. At this time, if you don''t think of a way to save yourselves, who do you think will come to save you?"


    Jin Weiwei sneered, looked at the crowd''s changing faces, and said: "You are healers, people who saved lives, if even you are indifferent, the citizens of Lishui County will only die even faster, and you guys won''t be able to leave, at that time, maybe even your families will get the plague, what will you do then? Will they still be able to avoid us as much as they are now? "


    Everyone gradually lowered their heads. They were all doctors who worshipped life. If one day, their life was no longer their belief, what kind of doctor would they be?


    "If no one is going to save you, then why can''t you save yourself? Furthermore, I know the main medicinal ingredients to cure the plague, do you want to give up just like that?"


    "Madame Jin, I don''t want to give up, they aren''t willing to go, I''ll go!"


    When he saw that the person''s eyes were red and swollen, Jin Weiwei guessed that there must be someone in his house who also had malaria.

 C213

    With Jin Weiwei taking the lead, the remaining tasks would be much easier to deal with. Maybe what Jin Weiwei said made sense, and everyone didn''t have as much to say.


    Every single one of them expressed their desire to follow Jin Weiwei, and their expressions of disregarding death made Jin Weiwei feel as if he was leading his troops to war.


    Perhaps, she thought, it was because everyone had a kind heart that they were moved by her words.


    After bringing a group of doctors to the refugee area, a skinny old woman came up and looked at Jin Weiwei, "Miss, let''s go quickly. Everyone here is sick, we shouldn''t catch you."


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes suddenly became moist, she could not stand this kind of scene the most.


    Just as she wanted to grab hold of the old woman''s hand, the old woman took two steps back, her face filled with fear as she said, "Miss, I am infected with the plague. I cannot touch it, I cannot touch it. You should leave quickly!"


    Who knew, Jin Weiwei laughed, and forcefully pulled the old lady''s hand.


    "Nanny, we are here to treat you. Get everyone to line up and examine those who are sick. Isolation. This plague is not contagious between humans. Only mosquitoes and bugs can infect."


    "Miss, is what you said true?"


    The old granny''s eyes suddenly turned red, she shed two tears and looked at Jin Weiwei in disbelief.


    "Yes, it''s true. I''ve seen this illness before. Everyone, come and queue up. Trust me, this disease can be cured. As long as you pay attention to hygiene and don''t let the mosquitoes bite you, you''ll definitely be fine."


    Jin Weiwei''s face was kind, and what he said made people feel that he was being sincere, so a few people came over, half-believing and half-doubting.


    Seeing that, Jin Weiwei immediately had his men set up chairs, the doctors saw that Jin Weiwei dared to touch these patients, and did not put on any act, the doubt in their hearts was dispelled, and they started to believe that the disease would not spread.


    Seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Jin Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief. At this time, the ingots came over.


    "Mistress, the people in the east and north districts have all communicated with each other. The patient can live in there anytime."


    Jin Weiwei nodded. Since he had taken over management since yesterday, Jin Weiwei had Yuanbao and the other officials go to the east region to communicate with the citizens so that the patients could stay for a few days. Those who were not sick could go to the north region.


    Regardless of whether it was because of the existence of the officials that deterred the citizens, Jin Weiwei did not think too much about it, she only wanted the cooperation of the people.


    "I''ll leave this place to you, I''ll go to the Chamber of Commerce."


    Now that she had more important things to do, the things here could only be left to Yuanbao.


    The current Jin Weiwei couldn''t wait to divide herself into countless of different groups. She felt that she was needed everywhere.


    "Alright, Mistress should also be careful."


    The Origin Treasure looked at Jin Weiwei earnestly. Jin Weiwei nodded randomly, gave a few more orders, and then sat in the carriage and left.


    Arriving at the merchant guild, Jin Weiwei quickly went upstairs, only to find that there was a conversation coming from inside.


    "In that case, many thanks Young Master Cheng."


    Jin Weiwei stopped pushing the door, why did she feel that this voice sounded so similar to Little Rich Son''s?


    Opening the door with such suspicions, the person inside was indeed Little Rich Son.


    And it was even Little Rich Son who was standing harmoniously with Cheng Yu.


    "You?"


    Jin Weiwei was shocked still. This was the first time she had seen the two of them acting in such harmony.


    "Madame Jin, have you come to discuss the establishment of the isolation grounds?"


    Jin Weiwei nodded blankly. The reason why she came to find Cheng Yu was because not only did Cheng Yu make restaurants, he had also dabbled in the construction industry too. This way, there would definitely be people selling construction materials.


    But... What was the situation now?


    "No need, this person ¡­ It''s been agreed with me. "


    When he mentioned greetings, Cheng Yu''s smile was somewhat forced. On the other hand, Little Rich Son who was at the side seemed to be in a good mood.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei could not help but open his eyes wide, pointing at Little Rich Son and Cheng Yu: "You two have reached an agreement?"


    Little Rich Son nodded his head, Jin Weiwei''s heart was in a mess, it turned out that... Is Little Rich Son here to discuss business?


    "Alright, it''s settled, right? Let''s talk about how to build the isolation zone now."


    Now, it was Cheng Yu''s turn to be shocked, he never thought that Jin Weiwei''s reaction would be so fast, he thought that he would be shocked for a while more.


    Little Rich Son was not that surprised. He knew that Jin Weiwei''s ability to accept things had always been good.


    "Nah, this is the blueprint that I came up with last night. The patients can''t wait, so we have to build it as quickly as possible, so this is the simplest wooden house, we better pick a place with a broad terrain, good ventilation, and plenty of sunshine to build it, then we can tear it down."


    After Jin Weiwei finished, he saw Cheng Yu looking at her as if he was looking at a treasure.


    "Madame Jin, did you really design this blueprint?"


    Jin Weiwei frowned and nodded, was Cheng Yu listening to her just now?


    "Madame Jin, can you help me create this design? But it''s an even more exquisite and sturdy blueprint, I will give you one thousand silvers, no, two thousand silvers, how about it?"


    Cheng Yu''s eyes lit up as he looked at the two story house on the map. The numbers were very clear, and if he were to sell this kind of house to the commoners, it would be worth it.


    Jin Weiwei facepalmed. "Young Master Cheng, at a time like this, you are still thinking about making money? Admirable, deal, send the money to my house another day, but right now, we are still discussing how to build it.


    Jin Weiwei did not feel any burden from the money he earned.


    "Ahem, of course."


    Cheng Yu thought that Jin Weiwei said that he had no conscience, but he never thought that it wouldn''t be so, and let him get to know Jin Weiwei once again.


    "Evergreen Street Horse-farm."


    Just as the two were thinking, Little Rich Son spoke up.


    Cheng Yu hit his head with the fan in his hand and laughed, "Right, compound your request, isn''t it for the market to meet up at Evergreen and Changning streets?"


    "Whose territory is that?"


    Jin Weiwei frowned, why was there no impression of this place?


    "That place was originally Ma Chengfu''s territory, but after Ma Chengfu fell, it became the Shangguan Family''s."


    Cheng Yu explained.


    "Then it will be easy, send someone to inform Sir Wang, and we''ll start the work immediately, shall we? A room should at best be forty square meters, with three patients, ventilation and hygiene must be good! "


    "How big is forty?"


    Cheng Yu was puzzled, he had never heard of such a measurement method before.


    "24 feet by 15 feet."


    Jin Weiwei thought for a while and changed it to the ancient measurement method.


    With that said, Cheng Yu understood. With the house on the map in his mind, he did not care about Jin Weiwei''s method of measurement.


    After discussing all of them, the two of them split up. Cheng Yu went to look for the workers at the construction site, while Jin Weiwei went to look for the owner of the silks and silk shop.


    She was going to find Boss Zhuang to customize a face mask for each of them.


    "Weiwei."


    "Hmm?"


    Jin Weiwei turned around and fell into a hug. It was so warm that she had the impulse to ignore everything.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "The situation over there has been settled."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but be surprised. He raised his head and said: "You''ve been dealing with these matters since the morning you didn''t see me?"


    "Yes."


    Little Rich Son smiled faintly, and replied with a smile. Jin Weiwei didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.

 C214

    The things that she wanted to do had already been dealt with by Little Rich Son, so wouldn''t she be free now?


    However ¡­ Why was she so happy?


    "Go home and rest."


    After Little Rich Son finished, he directly pulled Jin Weiwei away.


    Resting was impossible, but she needed some quiet time to figure out what the malaria recipe was.


    "..."


    "Woo woo!"


    The agate was peeling Jin Weiwei''s clothes with grievance, it looked a little haggard.


    Jin Weiwei frowned, gently pushing it away, and said: "Be good, play on the side, I''m busy right now."


    "Howl!"


    The agate protested, and looked towards Little Rich Son''s direction while shouting.


    Jin Weiwei could not help but look up at Little Rich Son. "What happened to you all? Agate seems to be very dissatisfied with you. "


    "It''s fine. Maybe it hates me."


    Little Rich Son glanced at the Agate, and only after seeing it shake twice did he retract his gaze and speak a few words.


    "How about this, Agate, you go and stay in the field for three or seven days. After I finish this, I''ll come and accompany you, okay?"


    Jin Weiwei had already raised the Agate as a pet, he never thought that he would be scared by an egg.


    "..." "Howl!"


    With a bitter cry, the Agate flew into the water and disappeared.


    Jin Weiwei sighed, and turned his head to continue thinking about the malaria recipe.


    It was unknown when Little Rich Son had arrived at her side, and hugged her from behind. He said softly, "The royal physician that father sent has almost arrived."


    "Then they don''t even know the formula for malaria. Even if I do study it, I still have two parts of the memory that can help them, right?"


    Jin Weiwei curled her lips, feeling a little discouraged, she knew what Little Rich Son meant.


    Neither of them slept well last night, and they woke up before dawn.


    Little Rich Son''s heart ached for her and wanted her to rest, but once she took over this responsibility, the meaning would be different. With so many people''s lives on her shoulders, she wouldn''t be able to rest well either.


    With that said, Jin Weiwei heard and sighed.


    "Tell me, what else is there? I''ll help you. "


    Hearing this, the corner of Jin Weiwei''s mouth couldn''t help but widen. She turned around and hugged him, and gave him a kiss at the corner of his mouth, and said: "These words of yours are enough, no matter how tired I am, it''s still not tiring."


    It was best if the person she loved the most was by her side.


    "Weiwei..."


    Little Rich Son wanted to say something but hesitated. There was guilt in his eyes.


    "I know you''re a bit regretful about this, but someone has to take responsibility for this. I still have you, so it''s okay."


    "¡­"


    Little Rich Son once again pulled Jin Weiwei into his embrace, his brows deeply furrowed. With a wife like this, what else could he ask for?


    He had habitually considered the matters of interest from yesterday, but didn''t think of Weiwei.


    "..."


    The next day, Jin Weiwei went to look at the progress of the project, and then brought people to distribute the masks that the silks had just made.


    It was noon when Jin Weiwei finally sat down to eat lunch with Little Rich Son. However, he was informed that the imperial physician sent by the imperial government had arrived.


    Hearing the news, Jin Weiwei wanted to stand up.


    Little Rich Son promptly suppressed her, and said with a darkened face: "Let''s go after dinner."


    "But ¡­"


    Her prescription had worked tirelessly to come up with a medicinal herb or two, and she wanted to know if it was the right thing to do.


    "Be good."


    Little Rich Son''s voice became even colder. Jin Weiwei had no choice but to compromise, and was forced to eat a lot by Little Rich Son, only then did he give up.


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei had sat down obediently, Little Rich Son smiled in satisfaction, raised his head and looked at the ceiling beams, and continued to serve food to Jin Weiwei.


    Mo Feng received the message from Little Rich Son''s eyes, and immediately woke him up and said softly: "prince wants us to invite the royal physicians."


    "Who gave them the guts? Do you still need prince to invite him? "


    Mo Ba crawled up, and scolded with squinted eyes.


    "Don''t forget that the prince''s presence in the Lishui County is confidential!"


    "Ah, yes! No, they were sent by the Prince, how could they not know? "


    "The Prince didn''t say."


    Mo Feng rolled her eyes at him. Could the whereabouts of prince be exposed so casually?


    "Oh, laozi will invite you right away."


    After Jin Weiwei finished eating, he found out that the royal doctors had come straight to the residence.


    She was not surprised. She knew that it definitely had something to do with the man beside her.


    "..."


    "Greetings, everyone."


    For Jin Weiwei who only saw her after changing clothes, no matter what, was politeness, she still had to be respectful. She could not let others think that she did not know what was good for her while she was by the big tree.


    The imperial physicians who were waiting in the living room were so frightened that they couldn''t accept Jin Weiwei''s gift.


    This person was most likely going to be the future Concubine of prince. He could not afford to offend her.


    "Madame Jin, quickly get up."


    The leading man, an old man with a white beard helped Jin Weiwei up and looked around.


    Ask: "Madame Jin, where is prince?"


    Jin Weiwei smiled, "If he''s here, it probably won''t be natural for us to discuss anything, right?"


    Hearing this, a few people felt awkward, they had been seen through.


    "Everyone, you must be tired from coming over from the capital, but the citizens of Lishui County can''t wait at all. Here are the herbs I grew, as well as a prescription I thought of. Please take a look."


    Jin Weiwei bit her lips. He didn''t know if these imperial doctors would feel rude towards her actions, but she didn''t care too much. There were so many rules, no one''s life was more important.


    The Imperial Doctor Hu was the leading doctor with a white beard. After seeing the prescription and smelling the herbs, his expression became serious.


    "Madame Jin, can you tell me about this illness?"


    "Patients with malaria first feel cold all over, then feel hot all over, then their limbs become weak all over." Patients with malaria all over, first feel cold all over, then feel hot all over, then feel weak all over.


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei knew that she did not care about her disrespect. Sure enough, she came out from the palace.


    "How did Madame Jin find out?"


    When they heard about this, they had started to study it. They only knew about the illness, and it was similar to what Jin Weiwei had said just now.


    "This little lady has seen this kind of plague before, so she knows a thing or two."


    "Oh? Then how did the Madame Jin escape? "


    Imperial Doctor Hu''s eyes lit up. If there was someone like Jin Weiwei, who had seen the plague before, then this matter would be easy to settle.


    "When I was young, I went into the mountains with my father and met a group of people with strange clothing. At that time, they had this disease, and the prescription was the one I gave you guys. It was just that I was young and I don''t remember most of it."


    Jin Weiwei lied for a while and felt guilty, but she was afraid that she would be treated as a monster.


    "Even so, the Madame Jin has been very helpful to us. This recipe is full of common medicinal ingredients, and after trying it out a few times with everyone else, we might to find out."


    Imperial Doctor Hu held the prescription in his hand like a treasure. This was a recipe for the treatment of the plague, he could not lose it.


    Seeing that, Jin Weiwei''s entire being relaxed a little. Was she not a professional like him?

 C215

    "So it''s like this. Everyone is tired today. I''ve already ordered my men to prepare the guest rooms. Why don''t you all rest today?"


    Jin Weiwei suggested.


    In any case, he had already given the prescription to the other party, so the other party would definitely be in a hurry to start researching it.


    Furthermore, she couldn''t bear to see so many old men hurrying along the way.


    "Alright, then I''ll have to thank Madame Jin."


    This action was very appropriate for Imperial Doctor Hu, he hurriedly agreed.


    After settling down the group of imperial physicians, Jin Weiwei returned to the backyard.


    "Is everything settled?"


    "Yes."


    Jin Weiwei rubbed his heart, feeling a little irritated, he wondered if the royal doctors could come up with the formula for the plague.


    "The Emperor has sent people down. Be careful."


    frowned and raised his head: "Didn''t you just ¡­ You mean the Emperor sent someone else down? "


    With that, Little Rich Son nodded, causing him to have a headache.


    "Now that our Lishui County has been affected by a plague, who would still dare to come?"


    Presumably, the Emperor had given them great benefits.


    "The eunuch that followed by the emperor''s side since he was young is a treacherous and cunning person. You must be careful."


    Listening to Little Rich Son''s explanation, Jin Weiwei suddenly realised, so that was how it was.


    No matter what, it would cause trouble for her. It would be fine if the person who came was sensible, but if it wasn''t, it would be troublesome ¡­


    "Don''t worry, I''m here."


    Seeing Jin Weiwei''s brows knit together, Little Rich Son''s heart softened. The two of them embraced each other and spoke softly.


    He would not let his woman fall into such a dangerous situation.


    Jin Weiwei hugged Little Rich Son back, she was not worried about her own danger, in any case, with Little Rich Son here, no one could hurt her, she was worried about the citizens of Lishui County.


    "..."


    The next day, Jin Weiwei asked Yuanbao to send the dried green grass and pepper along with the few medicinal herbs that she had thought of.


    After that, Jin Weiwei went to the homeless area and found that there were a lot of people who were sick.


    Jin Weiwei carefully observed and discovered that the people in the homeless area didn''t really like cleanliness.


    "Everyone, come here!"


    Jin Weiwei shouted. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, he sighed.


    Zhang Xuan tilted his head to look at the jade. Upon receiving the message, the jade immediately climbed onto the table.


    "Madame Jin has asked everyone to come over!"


    The Emerald roared, and many people noticed it. Very quickly, a group of people gathered, and the pearl protected Jin Weiwei on both sides, afraid that Jin Weiwei would be infected as well.


    Those who are not sick will have to live in the homeless area, Qing Shui County also has people who are sick, you will have to stay in a clean place, especially the place where people with the plague have lived before. Those who are not sick will have to live in this area, those who are not sick will have to live in this refugee area, those who are not sick will have to stay in this area, those who are not sick in Qing Shui County will have to stay in a clean place, especially those places where people with the plague have lived in.


    Everyone nodded, and looked at Jin Weiwei as though he was a god.


    "We will do as the Madame Jin says, and now, only the Madame Jin is not afraid of us."


    After so many days, they had also seen that everyone, whether they were government officials or anyone else, would back off when they saw the refugees. Even though the mosquitoes had only spread through the mosquito bites, there were still many people who looked at them with their tinted glasses.


    But no, Madame Jin didn''t, she and the people she brought over not only led the way to treat them, but also brought clean grains of rice over. Previously, they were wrong about Madame Jin, and thought that Madame Jin did it for their own reputation, but only now did they understand who was truly kind and kind.


    Jin Weiwei nodded, "Everyone, don''t think that I''m long-winded. If this place is not clean, there will be mosquitoes that will come here, and I wonder where these mosquitoes came from. There must be some pestilential virus inside.


    "Yes, we will listen to Madame Jin. We will go get Lime and Ai Hui."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief, people from the Lishui County couldn''t get sick anymore, she had heard that a few more people died in the past two days.


    There can be no more sick people. The more there are, the more panic people will feel.


    What Jin Weiwei did not know was that there was a person looking at her from afar, his eyes full of jealousy and scheming.


    "A silly little girl actually dared to take on such a heavy responsibility. Look at these foolish civilians, they actually think of her as a god!"


    Although he scolded Jin Weiwei, Boss Wang knew in his heart that as long as the plague was cured, Jin Weiwei would definitely be the first to accomplish it. He would also have an unerasable position in the hearts of the common people in Lishui County.


    When that time came, would he still be able to move Jin Weiwei at the Merchant Guild?


    "Aren''t the people of Lishui County treating her as a god? When everyone is dead, I want to see who still sees her as a god! "


    Looking at the citizens who were in a hurry to gather the calcareous wormwood, a sinister light flashed past Boss Wang''s eyes.


    "..."


    "Young Master Cheng."


    After settling the matters in the refugee camp, Jin Weiwei went to the horse farm to see how the progress was. Looking at the row of houses that rose up from the ground, Jin Weiwei was amazed at their speed.


    Cheng Yu turned around, and saw Jin Weiwei, and smiled: "Why are you here?"


    "As the person in charge, my pressure is top-notch. Of course I can''t relax, I''m not as strong as the Young Master Cheng. How long has it been since we built so many rooms?"


    "The plague can''t wait. I let people rest day and night. I''ve only finished half of the first floor. I still think it''s too late."


    Cheng Yu smiled merrily. Last night, he had been staring at this place, and the more he looked, the more he sighed about Jin Weiwei''s intelligence.


    The only drawback of this kind of house was that it was not very warm. It would be extremely good if it was improved.


    "This is already not bad. This area is so large. Being able to reach such a level has already exceeded my expectations."


    She had originally thought that it would take at least ten days to finish the construction. After all, she had later given him a plan and drew it according to the distribution of the hospitals in her previous life.


    In a night''s time, the workers had to draw the lines again and build the foundation. To be able to reach such a speed, it was already not bad.


    "It will take six or seven days to finish. We can make it before the weather turns cold."


    Jin Weiwei nodded, seeing that there were no problems, he decided to leave.


    "Madame Jin."


    Jin Weiwei turned around and saw Cheng Yu''s conflicted face. He could not help but ask: "Young Master Cheng, what''s wrong?"


    Cheng Yu sighed, and shook his head: "I just think that isn''t it too difficult for you to do this?"


    Seeing that Cheng Yu seemed to want to say something but hesitated, Jin Weiwei more or less understood what he meant and only laughed lightly: "It doesn''t matter if I''m tired, it''s just that, if no one cares, everyone in Lishui County will be given up."


    Cheng Yu opened his mouth and frowned. This was not what he wanted to say.


    "..." "If you find it hard, you can come and find me. I ¡­"


    He swallowed his last sentence back, he should not have added more pressure on Jin Weiwei at this moment.


    "Alright, I understand. Thank you."


    Jin Weiwei only considered this to be a simple formality, he thanked her and then left.

 C216

    For the next few days, Jin Weiwei spent most of his time strolling in the imperial physicians'' courtyards.


    However, the formula still did not improve, and Jin Weiwei''s pressure continued to increase.


    "Bad news, bad news. Mistress, so many people have died in the east side of the city."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei fainted. The words she had heard these past two days were such that she thought that her heart was like an iron wall, but hearing this news, she couldn''t help but feel pain in her heart.


    "Send the dead to be cremated, properly pacify the patient''s family and take precautions."


    Jin Weiwei forced herself to speak, she had not rested for a few days, and now she had a headache.


    Pearl nodded, she wanted to say something but hesitated. However, seeing Jin Weiwei''s exhausted appearance, she could not bear to continue.


    Forget it, let Chief Steward Yuanbao lead some people to deal with this matter. If they can do it, then don''t bother Master anymore.


    After he finished, Jin Weiwei fainted and fell to the ground.


    "Master!"


    Pearl exclaimed. Coincidentally, Little Rich Son had returned at this time. Her pupils constricted and she immediately ran over.


    "Weiwei!"


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei was still breathing, she immediately carried Jin Weiwei and ran towards the imperial physicians'' courtyards.


    Pearl hesitated for a moment, looking in the direction of the imperial physicians'' residences. She decided that there was nothing to do, so she turned to look for the ingots.


    The most important thing to Master right now was the plague, she thought. Master wouldn''t want to be bothered by these things even if he woke up.


    "Steward Yuan, a few more people have died in the east side of the city. Now that there are some riots, I would like to ask you to bring some people over. I''m afraid that someone might cause trouble."


    Hearing this, Yuanbao frowned, "You told Master?"


    "Master fainted. He was taken by Master to see a doctor."


    Pearl''s face was anxious and she was a little afraid of the ingots. Unfortunately, the jade had gone to the homeless district to settle some matters. If not, she could ask the jade to call the guards from the Rice Noodle shop over.


    "He fainted?"


    When the ingot heard his words, a trace of anxiety flashed across its eyes. It was about to leave when Pearl grabbed it.


    Seeing Yuan Bao''s vicious gaze, he immediately released his hand and said carefully, "But, Master fainted because of this matter. If you don''t take care of it properly, Master won''t be able to rest at ease when he wakes up ¡­"


    "..." I''m going to look for someone. "


    He clenched his fist and let it go. In the end, the ingot retracted its gaze from the front.


    Jin Weiwei was accompanied by that man. He was just a butler, what kind of person was he?


    Hearing this, Pearl heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that the one who was most nervous about the ingot was its master. As long as its master was brought out, the matter would be settled.


    "..."


    "Quick, let her take a look!"


    Imperial Doctor Hu and a few imperial doctors were working on a cure for the plague when the courtyard door was kicked open with force, followed by a roar.


    Imperial Doctor Hu and the rest were shocked, but when they saw who it was, they were so scared that their beards almost popped out.


    "prince! Greetings prince ¡­ "


    Seeing Little Rich Son''s angry expression, the Imperial Doctor Hu was so scared that he started trembling. He had never seen prince in such a terrifying state.


    "Get up and show her."


    After placing Jin Weiwei on the bed, Little Rich Son turned around and directly placed Imperial Doctor Hu''s neck in front of him, and said anxiously.


    Seeing that, Imperial Doctor Hu''s stupefied expression immediately became serious and serious.


    Under the situation where Little Rich Son was as if he was soaked in ice, the Imperial Doctor Hu held his heart and felt his pulse.


    Wiping away the sweat on his forehead, Imperial Doctor Hu heaved a sigh of relief and said: "prince, Madame Jin is fine, it''s just that I''m too tired.


    "Really?"


    Hearing this, Little Rich Son''s brows relaxed a little, but when he turned his head to look at Jin Weiwei''s somewhat pale face, his brows furrowed once more.


    "It''s fine. I just need to rest properly and I can recover."


    The expression in his eyes when he looked at Jin Weiwei could not help but carry a little admiration. At the beginning, he felt that letting a woman manage the situation regarding Lishui County was a bit of a farce.


    As for Jin Weiwei, she was also seen by him as a woman who wanted to give him a good reputation. After all, he had the prince behind him, so he would be able to leave safely no matter what happened.


    But now, he didn''t think so. No one would fight so hard for a reputation.


    "Open some tranquilizer medicine."


    Finished, Little Rich Son carried Jin Weiwei and left, not even bothering to give Imperial Doctor Hu a glance.


    Looking at the two''s backs, Imperial Doctor Hu''s eyes were filled with disbelief. In the past, the crowd that he saw in the prince would never smile, and no matter who he looked at, his eyes would always be cold. He would absolutely not be so anxious or panicked because of a single person.


    Looks like prince really cared a lot about this Madame Jin.


    "..."


    "You can''t take him away, you can''t!"


    From far away, Pearl could hear the sounds of shouting and the mournful wails.


    Only when they got closer did they discover that it was the officials who were carrying away the corpses of the people who had been killed by the plague.


    On the other hand, there were citizens blocking the yamen runner from carrying them away, and behind them were women and children crying. If it wasn''t for Pearl knowing what was happening, she would have thought that the government was oppressing the citizens.


    "You people! [You clearly said there is a cure for the plague, yet you let us all die. Now that we are dead, you want us to bury him and burn him to the ground without leaving a trace of his remains!] Oh my god! Why is our lives so bitter! "


    The crying sound belonged to an old lady. A pair of muddy old eyes stared at yamen runner who brought in the dead bodies with a hateful look, there were still some tears in her eyes. Pearl believed that if the old lady had enough strength, she would definitely kill these yamen runner s.


    "Granny, this is for the good of everyone. If we keep these bodies contaminated with the plague, we will attract a lot of germs. At that time, we might attract some mosquitoes, and then you will all be in danger."


    Pearl became suspicious. Jin Weiwei had instructed the doctors not to mention the prescription, because like this, the citizens would become even more restless. They felt that even with the prescription, they wouldn''t be able to save anyone.


    As soon as she finished speaking, someone recognized her.


    "Isn''t that the pearl beside Madame Jin? Tell me, does Madame Jin have a cure for the plague? "


    A young man whose face was covered in tears rushed up to Pearl and asked.


    His father had just died from malaria. If Madame Jin had the prescription, then he wouldn''t have taken it out. What kind of person would he be? He was just a scammer seeking fame!


    Pearl frowned, wanting to cover for Jin Weiwei. However, when she saw the young man''s face filled with pain and hatred, she couldn''t say a single word.


    "There''s an imperial physician in the capital, and he''s in the middle of studying the formula of the plague. My master doesn''t have any formula to treat the plague, so if there''s one, he''ll definitely take it out."


    The ingot stood in front of Pearl, staring at the youth with a cold expression.


    The young man was frightened by the cold face of the ingot and took two steps back.


    "The corpses here must be cremated, unless you all want to get the plague and die without a complete corpse."


    The ingot scanned through the crowd, and the cold words that came out were like a spell, the people who were stopping the yamen runner had started to loosen up.


    "Everyone, don''t listen to him! Madame Jin only wants to have a higher reputation, and does not care about our life and death! If people do not believe, then go to Madame Jin''s Villa and see if there is a batch of herbs! "

 C217

    Yuanbao''s pupils suddenly shrank as he looked at the person who spoke. That person''s eyes rolled and he dodged.


    "That''s right, if Madame Jin does not have a prescription, then let us enter the manor to see if there are any herbs!"


    Because there were people jeering, the commoners grew braver, clamoring to go to Jin Weiwei''s villa.


    Hearing the voice, Yuan Bao''s body was instantly surrounded by a murderous aura. The people closest to him suddenly stopped and looked at him in fear.


    "Master''s manor is not a place where you can enter just because you want to. If Master has a prescription, you will take it out. You don''t have to make things difficult for her now!"


    Yuanbao''s eyes swept across these braggart''s people. These people were not worth saving.


    Everyone looked at each other. Under the pressure of the ingot, no one dared to speak.


    "Now, I''m going to take these corpses away. Do you have any objections?"


    No, I will make my old man rest in peace, wuwu ¡­


    The one retorting was the old woman, the one with the weak voice. Her hands clung tightly to the old man''s corpse as she cried in grief.


    "If that''s the case, then everyone in the east gate will be infected by the plague. Don''t blame my master for not being able to do anything. Let''s go."


    With a cold snort, Yuanbao turned around and left with the pearl.


    There were still people present who had not caught malaria, but after hearing Yuanbao''s words and seeing that Yuanbao was about to leave and did not seem to care about them, they all grew anxious.


    "Manager, what happened just now was our fault. You should take the corpse away, we do not have any objections."


    The person who spoke was a young man. Yuan Bao turned around and narrowed his eyes. He remembered that the person who boasted earlier was this person.


    "Ergouzi, you bastard, your old man is dead as well. Didn''t you say we had to bury him in the ground and rest? It''s nothing now! "


    The old woman, who was crying while hugging the old man''s corpse, raised her head and cursed loudly.


    The young man rolled his eyes and said: "I''m doing this for everyone''s benefit, aren''t I? "There are still a lot of people here who haven''t gotten the plague. Elder, you''re old and don''t want to live anymore, but we''re young and we want to die too, aren''t we?"


    "You, you bastard!"


    The old woman seemed to be quite angry, even Pearl could see her eyes rolling up in anger.


    "Manager, you should bring the corpse with you, but you cannot ignore us! We know that Madame Jin''s heart is the kindest, if she does not care about us, we are done for, don''t you all think so?"


    This person looked at the ingot like a pug and almost went up to lick his leg.


    Yuan Bao raised his head and realized that most of the people present were the family of the deceased. Their eyes were red, but they didn''t seem to have any intention of refuting.


    Although Ergou wasn''t a thing, his words made sense. Whether they were buried or buried, any carelessness could infect them.


    "Manager, take him away."


    The old woman wiped away her tears and realized that Ergou was right. She could not allow everyone to be infected by the plague because of her own selfishness.


    Pity her old man has suffered all his life... None of them can rest in peace...


    Seeing that, Yuan Bao signaled the guards behind them and the few yamen runner s to bring the corpses away.


    The person in the crowd, who was making a ruckus just now, watched the back of the Yuan Treasure as it disappeared into the crowd. His pupils contracted and a trace of maliciousness flashed across his face.


    "..."


    "What?" "You trash, you actually let that little slut settle the matter with just a few words?!"


    Hearing the report, Boss Wang got up from his chair angrily and kicked the man twice.


    "Lord, please calm your anger. Although the Origin treasure has solved the problem, many people want their family to rest in peace. Lord, why not do something about this matter?"


    The one who spoke was the one who said that Jin Weiwei had the medicinal formula, he gritted his teeth and spoke bitterly.


    The Boss Wang herself didn''t have any ability, but she actually started to blame him.


    Hearing that, the Boss Wang quietened down. That''s right, these people all wanted their loved ones to be buried in the ground to rest. If there was something that could shock them, that would be fun.


    "Go. Go to Changning Street and pay extra money to have the doctor in charge of the house go to the east city. He said that Jin Weiwei had a prescription to cure the plague long ago, but he didn''t want to take it out."


    He remembered that this Doctor Li from the kind-hearted pharmacy was also a doctor that went to see a doctor with Jin Weiwei, right?


    His information was obtained from this person''s mouth.


    "Yes."


    "..."


    When Jin Weiwei woke up, it was already evening. The sky was dark and the clouds were overcast, looking like it was about to rain.


    "Weiwei."


    With a heavy forehead and a warm palm falling on her palm, she felt a tinge of comfort in the ice-cold weather.


    "How do you feel?"


    "Very good. How long have I slept for?"


    Jin Weiwei had a headache. How could she fall at such a crucial moment?


    "Ah, that''s right. Pearl came to tell me that a few more people had died in the east district. For the past two days, they have been dying consecutively, so the hearts of the people must be unsettled. I''m afraid that they might cause trouble."


    Suddenly thinking about what happened in the morning, Jin Weiwei became anxious, he pulled up his blanket and was about to get off the bed.


    "Weiwei! It''s all right. "


    Little Rich Son replied in a more serious tone as he pushed her onto the bed.


    "What?" Is it settled? "


    "Yes, Pearl brought the ingot."


    Pearl came to report to him in the afternoon, afraid that Jin Weiwei would be in a hurry to wake up.


    "Aren''t those people making trouble?"


    Jin Weiwei frowned. She could feel the resentment and resentment these citizens had released for so many days, so there was no reason for them to be fine at all.


    "The Origin Treasure has been pressed down."


    Speaking of ingots, Little Rich Son''s face darkened. How come he didn''t realize before that ingots were such a capable person?


    "That''s good, that''s good."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei became more assured, when she first bought the ingots, she already felt that the ingots were not simple.


    "In that case, rest well. Leave the matters outside to me."


    Little Rich Son frowned, and tucked him in.


    "I''m fine. I''m just too tired."


    Jin Weiwei retorted, she still had many things to do.


    "Be good."


    Little Rich Son''s face darkened, he rubbed his nose and did not speak further.


    She wasn''t worried about Little Rich Son taking care of him, she was just worried that he would be infected by the plague.


    After accompanying Jin Weiwei and finishing dinner, Little Rich Son went out to settle some things for him.


    Until night, when nothing happened, Jin Weiwei''s uneasy heart finally relaxed a little.


    Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, when Jin Weiwei and Little Rich Son were sleeping soundly, the panicking voice of Emerald suddenly came from outside.


    "Bad news, bad news! Master, the people of the east and north cities, and also the refugees have all been rioting. They have been coming all the way to the mansion, saying that they want to kill you."


    "What?!"


    Jin Weiwei woke up with a start, his face full of disbelief.


    "I got it. Have Yuanbao mobilize the manor''s guards to stop this group of civilians."


    Jin Weiwei instructed calmly. He was still fine in the afternoon, why is he in chaos now?


    "Weiwei, you stay here."


    His shoulder was suddenly held down, followed by the sound of someone getting up and putting on his clothes.

 C218

    Jin Weiwei laid on the bed for less than two minutes before waking up. She knew Little Rich Son was worried about her.


    However, she couldn''t rest at ease in this situation. She got up and ran into the courtyard.


    "What''s the situation now?"


    "Those civilians are about to surround us. Master, you have to go back and wait!"


    The pearl that welcomed them almost bumped into Jin Weiwei, but seeing that he wasn''t even dressed properly, they started to panic.


    Jin Weiwei straightened the clothes on his body, and said: "I cannot hide here, these commoners will not go on a rampage for no reason, there must be a reason, follow me to take a look."


    With that, he walked in the direction of the manor gate. Pearl stomped her feet in frustration and followed him.


    As they neared the residence''s gate, they could hear the sound of people shouting and shouting. It was a hubbub of noise outside, as people scolded her from head to toe.


    Jin Weiwei could vaguely hear a few words: hypocritical, hand over the prescription ¡­


    Prescription?


    Jin Weiwei''s pupils contracted, could it be that one of the doctors had leaked the news?


    She sighed almost inaudibly. At first, she shouldn''t have hidden such an important matter to stabilize the hearts of these doctors. Perhaps, she should have made things clear to these commoners from the very beginning.


    It was unlikely for something like this to happen.


    After being knocked into the palace, there was a layer of guards around, with the leader being the ingot, and Little Rich Son had gone to who knows where.


    "Did you see where Little Rich Son went?"


    Upon hearing that, Yuanbao turned around with a frighteningly cold face. The instant he saw Jin Weiwei, he eased up a bit, and replied: "The Old Master went outside to inquire about the news."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei nodded his head, the sound of the citizens'' cursing echoed in his ears, and there were even things knocking on the door.


    Jin Weiwei rubbed his heart, he knew that now was not the time to go out and solve the problem.


    Perhaps, the only thing she could stop them from talking about now was the recipe for the plague.


    Coincidentally, Imperial Doctor Hu and the rest heard the commotion and came out to investigate as well, meeting Jin Weiwei halfway there.


    "Imperial Doctor Hu!"


    "Madame Jin, what''s going on?"


    Imperial Doctor Hu frowned his eyebrows that could pinch a fly to death asked Jin Weiwei.


    "There are people making trouble outside, so I''d like to invite everyone to return to their own courtyard to avoid any problems."


    Hearing that, a few of the imperial physicians retracted their curious gazes. The curses they had shouted at Jin Weiwei were too loud, they had all heard it. The few of them looked at Jin Weiwei with some sympathy.


    After returning back to the courtyards where the few imperial physicians resided, Jin Weiwei asked, "I wonder if the royal doctors have developed the plague''s formula yet?"


    The few imperial physicians leading the Imperial Doctor Hu all frowned in silence. Jin Weiwei understood most of it, he sighed lightly and was about to speak.


    The leader of the Imperial Doctor Hu spoke: "I have researched half of it, but I''m afraid that the current situation of the Madame Jin is ¡­"


    Far from being able to quench his thirst.


    "It''s fine. Everyone, don''t worry about other things. Right now, the most important thing is to concoct the plague medicine. It''s better than anything else."


    She would think of other things.


    In his heart, he was already prepared for Jin Weiwei to blame them. In the end, Jin Weiwei instead consoled them, burdened with all the trouble.


    The woman that prince had set his eyes on was indeed different from those beauties of noble families.


    "Mistress, the old master is back."


    Suddenly, the loud voice of the jadeite came from outside the courtyard. Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up, Little Rich Son is back!


    This time, he did not care about the Imperial Doctor Hu anymore, he lifted up his skirt and ran out.


    He sprinted out, but bumped into a firm and warm chest. What he heard was the sounds of chests colliding again and again, and the sound of breathing coming from the top of his head.


    Inexplicably, Jin Weiwei felt that as long as he was by her side, all of this would no longer be a problem.


    "What''s going on?"


    Raising his head, what he saw was Little Rich Son''s concerned eyes, his eyebrows knitted together, and he said: "Someone said that you have the prescription in your hand, and the people have been forced to do so."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief, it was true, a lot of people had died in these two days, adding on the fact that there were people around, there would definitely be a riot.


    It suddenly became quiet outside. The two of them turned around and saw that it was dark outside. They did not know when it would light up.


    Jin Weiwei took a sniff and smelt the burnt smell of firewood.


    "This is bad!"


    With that, Jin Weiwei ran to the entrance of the residence, only to see the door being covered in dense smoke.


    "Burn her to death! Burn these heartless businessmen to death. "


    "Open the door!"


    He automatically ignored those unpleasant words as he raised his voice.


    "But ¡­"


    He looked outside the door hesitantly. What if Jin Weiwei got hurt in a moment?


    "If you hesitate any longer, even if the door is going to be burnt through, there''s no point in stopping it."


    Saying that, Jin Weiwei went to pull the wooden strip that was stuck on the gate.


    "Weiwei."


    Little Rich Son pulled the person back and nodded at the ingot.


    Seeing that, Yuan Bao led his men and opened the door.


    Pow!


    Suddenly, Jin Weiwei was pulled into his embrace by Little Rich Son, and a fishy stench seemed to spread from his nose, one that caused one to feel nauseous.


    Jin Weiwei pulled Little Rich Son''s hands away and discovered that his body was covered with rotten eggs and rotten vegetables.


    "Quick, quickly go down and change your clothes!"


    These things could easily attract mosquitoes. Jin Weiwei pushed Little Rich Son away anxiously, but did not move an inch as he hugged her.


    "Stop, ingot, if these people throw these things inside again, kill them on the spot!"


    Jin Weiwei roared coldly, causing the commoners to be stunned.


    As for the Origin Treasure, it also listened to Jin Weiwei and pulled out the blade from its waist to place on the neck of the young man who was closest to it.


    This group of people had weapons in their hands, but they were nothing more than carrying loads, farm tools, and the sabers in the hands of these guards. There was still a gap between them.


    Jin Weiwei took a step forward, his expression unprecedented cold: "If everyone could listen to what I have to say, then we would be able to survive today''s bloody disaster. If not, then all of my guards will have blades with them.


    "Jin Weiwei! You died a horrible death, you obviously have the prescription, yet you don''t take it out, causing the deaths of our family and friends, and yet you still have the face to speak of justice and morals! "


    A middle aged man rushed in front, with scarlet eyes and distorted facial features, staring at Jin Weiwei hatefully.


    Jin Weiwei took two steps forward and said loudly: "If I had the prescription in my hand, I would have taken it out a long time ago! There''s no need for us to wait here with you guys here at Lishui County to die! "


    This infuriated her to death. She was truly a group of people who didn''t know what was good for themselves!


    "Everyone, don''t listen to her. If you charge in, you''ll be able to obtain the prescription for treating illnesses. Charge!"


    Some unknown voice called out, and those people who were still hesitating seemed to have accumulated a great amount of courage, wanting to rush in.


    Before Jin Weiwei could even speak, he heard two pfft pfft sounds. A cloud of blood floated into his eyes, which still carried a tinge of warmth and sweetness.


    Focusing his gaze, he saw two corpses lying next to Yuanbao. Their heads and bodies were separated, and blood was spraying out from their bowl-sized mouths. It was extremely terrifying.


    Jin Weiwei was so frightened that he retreated two steps, covering his nose and mouth, pressing down on his chest and wanting to vomit.

 C219

    Little Rich Son hurried to hug Jin Weiwei, covering his eyes to bring him away.


    Unexpectedly, Jin Weiwei pulled his hand away, and went forward with a pale face.


    She was afraid, and these citizens were definitely afraid as well. However, what she didn''t expect was that Yuanbao would really listen to her words and kill people.


    Just now, she was just so infuriated.


    "Weiwei."


    Little Rich Son frowned and lowered his voice, but his eyes were tightly locked onto the killing intent infused ingot. The wariness and wariness in his eyes deepened, and he gradually became more and more dangerous.


    He was extremely familiar with the way he killed and there was no fear in his eyes. Only assassins or martial artists could do that.


    Just who was this person!


    What was his purpose for hiding by Weiwei''s side!


    "If you don''t believe me, the officials will arrive soon. If you don''t have weapons, you will be treated as traitors of the rebel court. When that happens, these two will be the ones to bleed!"


    Jin Weiwei gritted his teeth tightly, even he himself did not know how much effort he had used to say these words.


    After hearing what Jin Weiwei had said, the rest of them were forced two steps back by the ingots and that timid guy directly fainted.


    "We''re going to die anyway!" "It would be better to just kill off these heartless officials and merchants. It would not be a waste for them to have come to this world!"


    "If all of you put down your weapons now, I can protect your lives!"


    Seeing that everyone was about to rush in again, Jin Weiwei used all his strength to roar, and everyone finally quieted down.


    They were scared too. The only reason it was happening was because they were afraid of the destructive power brought by the plague, the grief caused by the death of their loved ones, and greed mixed within.


    "I do have a prescription, but it''s a formula that is only half-done. If any of you are not afraid of death, I''ll give it to you to drink on the spot!"


    Seeing that everyone was still excited, Jin Weiwei immediately admitted it, his scarlet eyes swept across everyone''s faces, carrying a bit of disappointment and sadness.


    "How can we believe you!"


    "Do you have any other way besides believing me?"


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s eyes turned red again, staring straight at the person who spoke, his eyes released a cold aura, which even Little Rich Son who was behind him could feel.


    Little Rich Son''s eyes flashed twice. She was hurt.


    Everyone looked at each other, and Jin Weiwei scolded again: "Why aren''t you letting go of your weapon? If the prescription is truly in my hands, and I don''t take it out, you guys will all die! "


    With that said, someone took the lead and threw away the weapon in his hand, not daring to look Jin Weiwei in the eye.


    Jin Weiwei''s words reminded them, no matter what, their lives were in Jin Weiwei''s hands. If Jin Weiwei was a little more vicious, they would die tonight!


    "Madame Jin, we only came here because we listened to others. If Madame Jin has developed a prescription, you must save us!"


    Coincidentally, the yamen runner s of the government officials had surrounded them. Upon seeing the terrifying scene in front of the gate, their faces all became deathly pale. Although they were yamen runner s of the government, such a bloody scene was still very scary.


    What was even more frightening was that Jin Weiwei was still standing in the center with a cold expression.


    "Jin, Madame Jin, these mob ¡­"


    "You guys go and control the people on the street first."


    "Yes, yes."


    The ice-cold Jin Weiwei seemed to have become a completely different person. His entire body was emitting the aura of a person belonging to a superior, causing others to look up at him in fear and respect him.


    "Yuanbao, control these people and ask them who are the culprits behind this!"


    Then, he turned around and didn''t look at the ''pitiful'' faces of the commoners anymore.


    All the way until the backyard, Jin Weiwei''s legs went soft as he fell into Little Rich Son''s embrace.


    Before he could even speak to Little Rich Son, Jin Weiwei could no longer suppress the disgust in his chest and turned his head to vomit.


    He could still see the blood mist in front of him. When he closed his eyes, his eyes were filled with the two bowl-sized bloody mouths.


    "Weiwei! I''ll go find the imperial physician. "


    Little Rich Son frowned, then carried Jin Weiwei and headed to the courtyard with the rest.


    "No!"


    Jin Weiwei suddenly grabbed Little Rich Son''s sleeve, and clenched his fists so tight that they continuously trembled.


    "I''m afraid."


    Little Rich Son stared blankly, and hugged Jin Weiwei even tighter. She had never been so afraid before.


    "Stay with me, okay?"


    Jin Weiwei''s face was drenched, she could not tell if it was tears or cold sweat, all she knew was that she was afraid. As long as she closed her eyes, she could see the commoners who had come to cause trouble, and the two bloodied corpses.


    "Don''t be afraid, I''m here."


    The color in Little Rich Son''s eyes darkened. It was time to check that ingot.


    "..."


    The next day, the sky was slightly rough, and a light wind blew. This was also a good day that had not appeared in the Lishui County for a long time.


    The person on the bed sat up abruptly, cold sweat beading on his forehead.


    Jin Weiwei held his forehead, only now realizing that his spine was drenched in sweat.


    What happened last night was like a dream. It felt unreal to her,


    "Pearl Jadeite."


    Pulling up the curtain, Jin Weiwei rubbed her brow, she was a little tired, of course she knew that all of this was not fake, it was just that she was shocked.


    "Mistress."


    "Go help me prepare the bath water."


    Her body was drenched in cold sweat and she was really going to get sick.


    "Yes."


    "..."


    After showering and eating breakfast, Jin Weiwei finally felt that his body was his.


    "Where''s the ingot?"


    "I don''t know. I didn''t see the steward this morning."


    Pearl answered Jin Weiwei. She also thought it was strange, when she usually woke up, she would see YuanBao fighting in the courtyard, but she did not see him doing it today.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei frowned, could it be that Little Rich Son had asked him to do something?


    "Where are the people who caused trouble yesterday?"


    "He was locked up at the yamen by the Yuanbao steward. The county magistrate is currently interrogating him."


    Jin Weiwei nodded, if Wang Hai was asking, she would be relieved.


    "Mistress, there''s someone outside, he said he''s from the Chamber of Commerce, please come over."


    Jadeite''s head suddenly popped out of the door and said with a strange expression.


    Chamber of Commerce?


    It must have been the civilians causing trouble last night that caused these people to lose their lives.


    "Alright, I got it. Give me a change of clothes."


    Pearl nodded, but she looked at Jin Weiwei with a strange gaze. Last night, when she saw her master being so scared, she thought that she would be sick today.


    Who knew that not only did her mistress not get sick, she was also able to calmly take care of things. As expected, her mistress was different from other noble young ladies.


    Actually, Jin Weiwei also felt that it was troublesome, but when the matter came, he had to take care of it no matter what.


    She couldn''t let those people who tried to do evil to her see her as a joke. These people were waiting for her to make a mistake.


    "..."


    "prince, we were unable to find any news of him, but he still refused to let go."


    Mo Ba spat, and came to Little Rich Son''s side, speaking in frustration, he, Mo Ba, did not have a mouth that he could not pry open, but this man, was considered his failure, using everything he had, just not letting him go.


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son turned around and walked towards a small hut nearby.


    With a mouth that even Mo Ba could not open, he could not underestimate this person, nor could he let this person stay by Weiwei''s side.

 C220

    "Who are you?"


    The ingot was raised, and he opened his eyes which were filled with blood. In his eyes, Little Rich Son had long since become blurry.


    "Who are you?"


    Yuan Bao asked with a cold smile. Coughing a little, he pulled on the wound, causing his face to turn pale from the pain.


    Little Rich Son''s face darkened: What is your goal?


    "I would also like to ask the old master what his identity is, and what is his purpose in staying by his side? Every single time, I would put her in danger. "


    He could feel that Little Rich Son had more than two experts by his side, and they would suddenly disappear from time to time.


    "¡­"


    Hearing this, Little Rich Son stood up, and with a deep look in his eyes, he looked at the ingot, and then slowly condensed it.


    "Kill him."


    After pausing for a while, Little Rich Son turned and walked out of the door.


    "Yes, prince."


    When Yuanbao, whose face was cold and prepared to die, heard the two words "prince", he suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of frost, and a monstrous hatred was hidden beneath them.


    "prince? Ji Jingzhi? "


    Hearing this, the departing figure suddenly paused, turned around and walked step by step to his side. His eyes suddenly focused on the ingot.


    "Who are you!"


    Mo Ba subconsciously took a step back. Seeing the red line of blood suddenly appear in Little Rich Son''s eyes, he felt fear in his heart.


    "It''s really you!" Your father killed the life of the entire Plum Blossom Villa, and now you want to take my life? Heh, why didn''t I kill you earlier! "


    Yuan Bao''s eyes suddenly widened. The hatred in his eyes could no longer be controlled and one could even faintly see the grief.


    "Plum Blossom Manor ¡­"


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son''s face froze for a moment, then muttered: Who are you from the Plum Flower Manor?


    "Heh ¡­"


    Little Rich Son thought for a while with a frown, then asked with uncertainty, "Jin Changfeng?"


    "prince has a good memory. At least, I remember that there''s still one Jin Changfeng that hasn''t been killed in Plum Blossom Villa."


    "¡­"


    After an unknown period of time, Mo Ba felt that his feet had gone numb, and was shocked to the point that he didn''t dare to speak.


    He was not very clear about what had happened that year. He only knew that when the Prince had returned from his trip, the head of the martial arts world, Plum Blossom Village, had disappeared. Jin Changfeng, was the Plum Blossom Manor, Chu Longyue''s fianc¨¦.


    Everyone said that the Prince had killed the Plum Blossom Villa, because they had interfered in the matter of the salt luck and had gone against the Imperial Court. However, no matter what, he would not believe that the Prince would do such a thing.


    "Mo Ba, let him go."


    Mo Ba who was immersed in thought suddenly regained his senses, and upon hearing Little Rich Son''s words, he immediately went forward and untied the rope.


    The moment the rope was untied, the dagger at Mo Ba''s waist was immediately pulled out, and stabbed towards Little Rich Son''s back without hesitation.


    Little Rich Son suddenly turned around, his hand raised and grabbed Jin Changfeng''s wrist, and in a few moves he had broken the dagger in his hands.


    Mo Ba came over from shock, walked up and kicked Jin Changfeng, causing him to kneel in front of Little Rich Son.


    With a dark and cold expression, he said, "You''re injured. If you don''t want to die, then stay far away from Weiwei."


    "Heh ¡­"


    If he was not injured, could Ji Jingzhi even fight against him?


    "I''m someone she bought. You have no say in whether I leave or not."


    Mo Ba flung off his shoulder that was being held by Mo Ba, and supported himself on the ground as he said coldly.


    "You can try."


    After leaving that sentence, Little Rich Son left with Mo Ba.


    "..."


    At the location of the Lishui County Chamber of Commerce, many of the boss'' faces were full of anger, and from time to time, they would look in the direction of the main entrance.


    Cheng Yu frowned and closed his eyes as he sat on the chair, the fan in his hand striking the table.


    This matter was not easy to resolve. Last night, he sent someone to the Jin Mansion to investigate, but they found out that Jin Weiwei was not feeling well, and even found out that the Jin Mansion''s Shangguan Family had killed two people.


    When he heard about this matter, he was shocked, much less a woman like Jin Weiwei, he did not know if Jin Weiwei could hold on for long, and how he could help Jin Weiwei.


    "It seems that everyone has been waiting for me for a long time."


    Just as the atmosphere in the room was frozen awkward, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Jin Weiwei who was dressed in an indigo horse mask dress walked in.


    Cheng Yu raised his eyes, and was startled, although he could see the fatigue between Jin Weiwei''s brows, it was mostly fatigue and confidence.


    Seeing that, Cheng Yu lowered his eyes and laughed, he thought that the lady would need his help, but now, it seems that he had underestimated Jin Weiwei.


    "Jin Weiwei, you still have the face to come! Don''t you know how much our store suffered because of what happened last night? "


    Seeing Jin Weiwei, the owner of the silk farm jumped up, the expression on his face contorted like he wanted to tear Jin Weiwei apart.


    Jin Weiwei sneered, he took off his cape and shrunk his body. The weather now, was truly cold.


    "Could it be that the members of the merchant guild did not invite me? Since they did not want me to come, then I, Jin Weiwei, will not be shameless, and will be leaving now."


    As he spoke, he turned around.


    "The Madame Jin sure has a lot of face. Even after what happened, he still has the face to think that he''s not in the wrong."


    Hearing the familiar voice, Jin Weiwei''s eyes went cold for a moment, then found a seat and looked at everyone.


    "Then how do you want me to deal with it?"


    Jin Weiwei asked indifferently, causing many people to not know how to say what they were cursing in their hearts.


    "Aren''t you guys blaming me? The people lost control yesterday, so you lost a lot, right? "Tell me, how do you want to settle this?"


    Jin Weiwei was a little impatient. She had not settled the matter of the riot, nor did she want to haggle over things with this group. As long as their demands were not too excessive, they were easy to negotiate with.


    Everyone looked at each other, they did not believe that Jin Weiwei was that easy to talk to.


    "I''ll leave the Lishui County matters to you, then the damages that the mob have caused us will definitely be compensated by you."


    Jin Weiwei raised his eyebrows and looked at Boss Zhuang, but just as he was about to speak, the Boss Wang came out from the side.


    "Madame Jin, didn''t I say that you are a woman after all? If you can''t handle the Lishui County well, you should just leave it to others so as not to harm the common people."


    Seeing that sarcastic face, Jin Weiwei suddenly thought it was funny, and asked: "Oh, then Boss Wang said, who is suitable to manage Lishui County? Could it be your Boss Wang? "


    Who knew that Boss Wang would be so shameless when he acted so tactfully.


    "Since Madame Jin thinks so, this old man also feels that I am qualified to do so. As long as you hand over the medicinal formula ¡­"


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei fiercely stood up, and dragged his chair back a few times, producing an unpleasant piercing sound.


    The hearts of everyone present trembled. They were not sure if it was their imagination, but Jin Weiwei''s current imposing manner could make people unconsciously lower their heads.


    "What prescription is Boss Wang talking about?"


    Jin Weiwei stared straight at Boss Wang, she was sure that what happened last night was related to Boss Wang, this person usually disliked her.


    Boss Wang swallowed his saliva. Why is this girl''s eyes so scary?


    "Of course it''s the recipe for the plague. Otherwise, why would those commoners rob our stores last night?"

 C221

    "Everyone, have you heard that I have the formula for the plague?"


    Jin Weiwei''s gaze swept across every single place and every single person present had a face of doubt. Boss Zhuang frowned: "I only found out about this early in the morning, and I vaguely knew what kind of medicine it was. Boss Wang, how do you know that these mob went crazy because of the plague medicine?"


    Although Boss Zhuang could not bear to see Jin Weiwei in such a state, Jin Weiwei''s question made her quickly react to it. This matter was most likely not that simple.


    Boss Wang''s heart skipped a beat. How did he forget that last night''s matter had developed too quickly?


    Cheng Yu sat up, and the gaze he used to look at Boss Wang was cold as well, "Boss Wang, how did you know?"


    "I, I''ve been going to the epidemic area every day, so I naturally heard it from these commoners."


    The Boss Wang snorted, looked at Jin Weiwei, and sneered: Madame Jin, don''t mislead the masses. My shop has suffered too, the losses are also huge, and this isn''t the way to shirk responsibility!


    With that, everyone''s attention returned to Jin Weiwei.


    She knew that it would be useless to argue with Boss Wang right now. If she did not come up with a way to resolve the situation, even if she did clear up the matter, these people would not buy it.


    "I will send people to your shops to calculate the losses and then compensate you according to the market price. Everyone, is it satisfactory for me to do this?"


    Hearing that, everyone was shocked, all of their shops had losses that added up to at least 10,000 gold, and this time Jin Weiwei had contributed even more, how could he possibly have any money?


    "What? Not satisfied?"


    Seeing that no one said a word, Jin Weiwei became impatient, she hated them the most when they just went overboard.


    "That''s for the best."


    Boss Zhuang was one of the leading figures in the Chamber of Commerce. Since she had already taken the lead to speak, the others definitely would not object.


    "That''s good. I''ll send someone to your shop to calculate the losses."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei got up, and when he was passing by Boss Wang, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.


    "Boss Wang, do you want me to report to county magistrate and hand over the matter of Lishui County to you?"


    Boss Wang raised his head and fiercely met Jin Weiwei''s sinister eyes. He could not help but shake his head.


    "No need, no need. What I said just now was just a joke."


    "That Boss Wang sure is a big joke."


    After she finished speaking, only the group of people who did not understand were left behind, while Boss Wang was drenched in cold sweat. That little bitch definitely knew that it was him who did it, and her gaze just now was telling him that she would not let him off!


    "..."


    "What about you adults?"


    Jin Weiwei did not return to the residence after leaving the merchant guild, but instead went to the yamen. She wanted to see how Wang Hai was doing during the interrogation.


    "Madame Jin, Lord Wang is in the middle of a lawsuit in the main hall."


    Last night, he was one of the yamen runner s who went to arrest people, and he still remembered the Jin Weiwei who stood at the center of the two corpses with a stern expression. His aura, was probably no different from that of the Empress''s.


    "Thank you."


    After thanking them, Jin Weiwei led his people and rushed to the hall.


    "Speak, who ordered you from behind, as long as you say it out loud, you can keep your lives."


    Just as he finished asking, there was a flurry of chattering below. Wang Hai had a headache from trying to interrogate these people, how could they not think about the consequences when doing their work?


    Jin Weiwei listened on the outside for a while and could not help but to shake his head.


    "Sir Wang, I have two words to say. Can we move to the back of the hall?"


    With the special situation, Jin Weiwei could not care about the rules anymore.


    Wang Hai raised his head and saw Jin Weiwei. His eyes lit up, he now saw Jin Weiwei as a hope to save his life.


    "Naturally."


    Jin Weiwei nodded and followed Wang Hai to the rear hall.


    "Your majesty, please let these civilians go."


    "Why? "If I don''t find out who the mastermind is, how can I explain this to the imperial government?"


    Wang Hai''s butt had not even touched the chair, but hearing Jin Weiwei''s words, he was so shocked that he did not even sit down anymore. He looked as if he wanted to grab onto Jin Weiwei''s shoulder and shake it hard twice to see if she was crazy.


    "Lord Wang has someone keep an eye on Boss Wang, the one from the Lishui County Chamber of Commerce. I believe Lord Wang will reap the rewards."


    Jin Weiwei laughed faintly, he did not sit, and said: "I think it is best for Sir Wang to release the people outside. I believe Sir Wang does not want to cause an even bigger riot right after this."


    "You mean ¡­"


    Hearing that, Wang Hai calmed down. Seeing the coldness in Jin Weiwei''s eyes, he understood most of it.


    Even if this matter wasn''t done by the Boss Wang, that Boss Wang knew something.


    "Sir, please go ahead and investigate. I will take my leave now."


    Before Wang Hai could say anything, Jin Weiwei had already left.


    After thinking for a while, Wang Hai called over the yamen runner and instructed: "Go and release those mob people."


    "..."


    After leaving the yamen, Jin Weiwei ran towards the district where the people were the most.


    "Mistress, since you''re so tired, why don''t you go back and rest? The riot has already been suppressed, so there shouldn''t be any problems for the time being."


    Pearl looked at Jin Weiwei who had a face full of fatigue, and could not help but say, no matter what, she had to take her body into consideration.


    "Nothing."


    Jin Weiwei rubbed her brows, she did not know how to explain this to Pearl, the longer this matter dragged on, the greater the unknown danger would be, and now was the time when people were feeling uneasy, if she was uneasy at this time, then maybe the news she would hear tomorrow would be from the people of Lishui County rebelling against her.


    After getting off the carriage, Jin Weiwei was no longer tired, and the aura on his body became even more powerful.


    Pearl stared with her mouth wide open in shock. An ordinary woman really couldn''t do such a thing.


    "Bring your men to gather everyone. Tell them that Madame Jin has an explanation for the prescription in his hands."


    "Yes."


    Seeing Jin Weiwei''s swift and decisive appearance, Pearl unconsciously tensed up.


    Very quickly, Jin Weiwei stood under the platform and saw a lot of commoners gathered, some looking with hatred, some looking pitifully at her.


    Seeing that it was enough, Jin Weiwei took two steps forward and said loudly: "I believe everyone is aware of the riot last night, right?"


    Seeing everyone being scared, Jin Weiwei smiled, with a tinge of ridicule, she was a human, just like this. When doing something impulsively, she would never consider the consequences, and after discovering that it was the wrong thing to do, she would pretend to be pitiful and beg for forgiveness. Unfortunately, many things could not just be forgiven.


    "Everyone says that I have the Plague''s formula in my hands. Some of you hate me, don''t you think? Last night, my mansion''s door was smashed, and many rotten eggs and rotten vegetables were thrown inside, do you want everyone in my mansion to be infected by the plague? "


    Jin Weiwei never thought that these people who did not cause trouble were innocent. At least, they did not stop them.


    "I have the prescription in my hands, but I''ve only researched half of it. Everyone, I''d like to see if I can get the formula for the plague in my residence, right?"

 C222

    "We ¡­"


    Seeing Jin Weiwei looking at them, some people felt guilty, or they felt guilty because of fear. Last night, two people died in front of Jin Weiwei''s residence, and it was said that they had lost their heads.


    It could be said that their lives were all in Jin Weiwei''s hands.


    I''m not here to cause trouble with you guys, I''m just here to tell you that I have half the prescription, and the imperial physician is staying in my residence to study it, and I believe that it will be developed very quickly, and I''ve prepared the herbs, so I won''t give up on you guys, and as for what you guys think, I don''t care, because if anyone dares to cause more trouble, then two people from my residence will probably die, and that''s what they will do.


    With that, Jin Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief, and his head felt a little dizzy. Looking at this group of people, she felt really tired.


    Seeing that something was wrong, Pearl immediately went to support Jin Weiwei, but she was still a step too late. Just as Jin Weiwei was about to fall, someone suddenly fell by her side.


    "Old master!"


    Pearl''s face lit up. With the Old Master here, the master wouldn''t have anything to do with him.


    "Return to the estate."


    Little Rich Son lowered his eyes and looked at Jin Weiwei. The red line of blood in his eyes had yet to recede, and there was now a hint of pain and fury mixed within.


    He wasn''t here for a while, but this woman was really annoying.


    "..."


    "Madam''s pulse is weak, anger and cold air intersect, your body can''t take it any longer, so you fainted. As long as you take a good rest, you''ll be fine."


    After finishing his pulse, Imperial Doctor Hu stroked his beard and said.


    "But with the current situation, my master won''t be able to rest either!"


    Pearl was getting anxious. Based on her master''s personality, it was likely that she would not be able to rest.


    "I know."


    However, Little Rich Son did not care about anything else, all she had in her eyes was Jin Weiwei. Was it right to do so?


    Those who didn''t believe Jin Weiwei initially only realized that what Jin Weiwei said was true when they still received the rice noodles, lime and wormwood from the shops under his name the next day. She really wouldn''t give them up.


    As for Jin Weiwei, he was also ordered by Little Rich Son to stay at home and not go out.


    "Aiya, I''m really fine. Even if you don''t want me to go out, I can walk around in the courtyard, right?"


    Jin Weiwei curled her lips. She really did not know what Little Rich Son was so nervous about.


    "I''m the one out there."


    Little Rich Son''s insistence made Jin Weiwei feel helpless, he nodded immediately: "I know I''m tired, I will rest, I will not care about the things outside, rest assured? I just went out to the yard and lay there for the whole day. "


    Since she had settled most of the matters now, it was time for her to rest.


    "..." "Alright."


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei was a little unhappy, Little Rich Son finally compromised and supported him into the courtyard.


    After strolling around the courtyard for a bit, Jin Weiwei suddenly stopped and turned to ask him: "Did you see a ingot? If I''m not in the residence for two days, what are I doing? "


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son''s eyes turned cold for a moment.


    "He''s gone."


    "He left? Why didn''t you tell me when you left? "


    Jin Weiwei was suspicious, treasures were not those kind of people who left without a word, right?


    "Yes, I''m leaving."


    "..." Alright, he isn''t a simple person. It''s good for him to be a waste of his talent here, so it''s good for him to leave. "


    Jin Weiwei''s face was filled with disappointment. She had said that when her business expanded, the ingot would be a huge help to her. Now it seemed that her current strength was not even worth mentioning.


    "Yes."


    Little Rich Son faintly replied, no one knew what he was thinking.


    In the afternoon, Cheng Yu received news that the isolation grounds had been completed. This made Jin Weiwei very happy, but he couldn''t stop Little Rich Son from taking a look.


    "Why don''t you accompany me? If there''s anything, I''ll instruct you."


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes sparkled as she looked at Little Rich Son. She had designed the isolation grounds, so she definitely had to take a look.


    Little Rich Son had no choice but to bring Jin Weiwei to the isolation grounds.


    "..."


    "Can we move in now?"


    Jin Weiwei looked at the familiar building that he had not seen in a while, and asked in a good mood.


    She really felt like she was going home. It was great.


    "The front one is fine, but the back one is not. It has only just been built and the smell hasn''t dispersed yet."


    The construction in front of him was both new and useful. The most important thing was that this kind of building could be built on the 3rd or 4th floor, so it was impossible to compare to normal houses. When he built a building like this, who knew how much money he could sell it for.


    "Then let the seriously ill people move into this place first. Is there anyone on your side? "Divide up some people, or let their own families take care of them."


    Speaking of that, worry appeared on Jin Weiwei''s forehead again. Although he said that, but he did not manage to develop the prescription, everything was useless.


    "Weiwei, it''s time to go back."


    Little Rich Son timely reminded Jin Weiwei, who was beside him. He gave Cheng Yu a meaningful look.


    Cheng Yu rubbed his nose. Did he do something bad?


    Jin Weiwei nodded, she had to go back and see if the few old men had produced any medicine formulas.


    "Aiyo, Madame Jin, Young Master Cheng, I have found you two, the lord is inviting you two over."


    Suddenly, a yamen runner ran over from not too far away and gasped for breath as he spoke to them.


    "Sir Wang, is something the matter?"


    Jin Weiwei asked curiously, the back of his hand suddenly felt heavy, he turned his head, and realized that Little Rich Son''s face was not well.


    "It''s the people of the imperial government. The imperial government sent someone down to meet you two."


    People from the imperial court!


    Jin Weiwei suddenly raised his head, only to see Little Rich Son nodding to her with a small slip of paper in his hand.


    Jin Weiwei was shocked, she gasped in shock at the abilities of the people around Little Rich Son, she did not even know when this slip of paper reached Little Rich Son''s phone, she was actually the closest one to him!


    Jin Weiwei shook his head. Someone had come to visit him with important matters, what was his purpose in doing so?


    "Got it, you go back to the residence first, I will go with Young Master Cheng. If there''s anything else, I will send someone to tell you."


    Since it was someone from the imperial court, Little Rich Son would definitely not meet him.


    "Alright."


    Little Rich Son nodded, after Jin Weiwei and Cheng Yu left, he looked to the side.


    Very quickly, Mo Ba and the rest appeared in front of Little Rich Son.


    "Protect her."


    "Yes."


    The two of them were not surprised, because they had heard the words just now.


    "..."


    Just as he got off the horse carriage, before he could even enter the main hall, Jin Weiwei heard a weird yin Yang sound, which was as loud as the voice of a duck.


    "Oh? Lord Wang, these two have such arrogance. They actually dared to make our guild wait here for so long?"


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but feel goosebumps all over his body, and he was even a little disgusted.


    "Eunuch Wu, please do not blame these two people who have been busy with the plague for the past few days. It is understandable."


    Wang Hai actually spoke up for them, Jin Weiwei smiled faintly, and both of them looked at each other, and walked in.

 C223

    "Wang Hai, how dare you leave the matter of the imperial government to someone else? Do you put the emperor in your eyes? "


    Wang Hai''s face paled. He was so focused on speaking up for Jin Weiwei that he forgot about his own situation.


    "Of course not, of course not ¡­"


    "Greetings, Eunuch. Please wait for me."


    Wang Hai had not finished speaking, when Jin Weiwei and Cheng Yu walked in, and immediately, he heaved a sigh of relief.


    This Wu De, did not even look at the two of them, his eyes full of disdain, and only coldly looked at Wang Hai.


    "If the imperial government wants you to do something, I don''t want you to use anything!"


    "Eunuch, do you want to see us?"


    Jin Weiwei raised her voice, still greeting him with a smile. As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person with one''s hand, if the father-in-law from the Palace did not understand the rules, then she would not have to be nice to him.


    If she did not have any power behind her, then she would really look down on others. But she had Little Rich Son, and furthermore, she did not even know if her current Lishui County was dead or alive.


    Hearing that, Wu De turned to look at the two of them, the corners of his eyes were looking straight at her, his gaze filled with contempt and coldness, making her feel uncomfortable.


    "Are you two in charge of the plague right now?"


    Just as Cheng Yu wanted to answer, he was grabbed by Jin Weiwei first: "Yes, because I have half the Plague''s medicinal formula in my hands, Master Wang has handed over the matter of Lishui County to the little lady."


    Cheng Yu frowned, and looked worriedly at Jin Weiwei. This old eunuch was not one to be provoked, two people against him would at least be better than one, right?


    "You? Heh! From today onwards, the matter of the Lishui County will be handed over to my family. Hand over the medicinal formula in your hands, and you can do whatever you want! "


    After hearing what Jin Weiwei had to say, Wu De felt much more at ease. Luckily he had the prescription, so this assignment was much easier.


    Hearing Wu De''s natural tone, Jin Weiwei''s eyes turned cold. "I''ve only researched half of the prescription, do you want one too, eunuch?"


    "I only researched half of it. Are you all useless bums? You can''t even do this kind of thing well! "


    The tone in which this little eunuch was being lectured...


    Jin Weiwei gritted his teeth. Damn it! She couldn''t tolerate it! Some people just didn''t want to teach him a lesson!


    "I heard that Eunuch''s tone, which means that it is extremely easy to concoct the formula. It would be better if Eunuch could let someone else concoct it himself, the formula that this young woman has concocted probably won''t enter Eunuch''s eyes!" "I''ll take my leave!"


    After saying that, Jin Weiwei turned and left, but it was unknown when, but two black clothed men stopped her, and a bright blade edge landed on her neck before she could even react.


    Jin Weiwei''s heart trembled. He took two steps back and looked at Wu De coldly.


    "I''ll let you hand over the prescription!" It''s fine if you don''t want to hand it over, but do you know who my family is? We are the emperor''s personal eunuchs! Seeing that the emperor has grown up, you being disrespectful to me is disrespectful to the emperor. Someone, arrest her! "


    Cheng Yu''s face turned white, and immediately pulled Jin Weiwei closer, smiling apologetically: "Eunuch, Madame Jin is only a woman, she was born to sell meat, it is normal for her not to know the rules, didn''t Eunuch ask for a prescription? I''ll get her to send it to you when I get back, okay? "


    Hearing that, Wu De looked at Cheng Yu, and asked: "Who are you? What we say is something you can refute? "


    "This commoner did not refute Elder, but is a member of my Chamber of Commerce. Normally, he does not understand the rules, but most of the businesses in the Lishui County are in the hands of this Madame Jin, and now that the Madame Jin has provided funds to help build the isolation grounds for the commoners, and has even distributed disinfected lime and wormwood every day, if we were to set up the Madame Jin at this time, the citizens of Lishui County would definitely riot!"


    Jin Weiwei looked at Cheng Yu in astonishment. She had never heard Cheng Yu speak in such a manner, but she could make out the expression on his face ¡­ No matter what, she felt that it wasn''t the Cheng Yu that she knew.


    Wu De frowned and looked at the two of them, then looked at Wang Hai, only to see Wang Hai shaking his head with a pale face, and turning back to look at the two of them.


    He had long heard that this was a crouching tiger and hidden dragon. He didn''t even believe that a vulgar woman who was born to sell meat could survive until today''s situation. Moreover, this Cheng Yu didn''t seem to be a simple person either.


    And listening to the hidden meaning behind Cheng Yu''s words, it was that if he touched Jin Weiwei, everything would stop, and his Lishui County would go into chaos!


    This Wang Hai, really knew how to find people!


    "Alright, I see that you guys are getting in the way here. Send the Plague''s prescription over later!"


    After saying that, he waved his hand dismissively, looking like he despised the two pieces of trash. Jin Weiwei felt his anger stuck, and his heart ached for a long time, unable to calm down.


    How dare anyone with nothing to look down on her!


    "Let''s go."


    The smile on Jin Weiwei''s face was faint, but Cheng Yu could see a trace of killing intent from it, he could not help but feel a chill down his spine. Thinking about the mysterious Little Rich Son, he felt that the old eunuch''s days were numbered.


    "..."


    Before even entering the door, Jin Weiwei saw Little Rich Son waiting for him. She looked like a wife waiting for her husband to come home.


    What was there to be afraid of? She still had Little Rich Son.


    It wasn''t perfect for someone to take care of these trivial matters of the Lishui County, so she didn''t have to be angry all day.


    "I feel wronged."


    When he got close, Jin Weiwei realized that Little Rich Son''s face was ugly, and that what he said was definite, and not a question.


    "You know about it?"


    The matter of her being troubled by the old eunuch must be known, otherwise how could Little Rich Son''s expression be so bad? He must have sent people to follow her.


    "Hmm, it won''t be for nothing."


    After he finished speaking, he carried Jin Weiwei in his arms. It was all his fault, he shouldn''t have let Weiwei do such a dangerous thing.


    "What''s wrong? Don''t do anything stupid! "


    Jin Weiwei looked at Little Rich Son nervously. Little Rich Son''s identity was special here, if it was exposed, the people from the imperial government might cause trouble for the Regent, she did not want to be the one who held back.


    "Nope."


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei was concerned about him, Little Rich Son smiled.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei was relieved, the responsibility was taken away, and instantly he felt much more at ease.


    "Pearl, get someone to send the prescription for curing the plague to the yamen."


    Returning back to the courtyard, Jin Weiwei remembered the important matter. She wanted to see, with just this half recipe, what could this old eunuch do!


    "Ah?" "Mistress, that prescription hasn''t been developed yet?"


    Pearl followed Jin Weiwei out, but only stood guard outside the door, not knowing what was going on inside.


    "Go."


    Jin Weiwei rubbed his brow, obviously he did not want to say anymore, so he did not ask anymore. Maybe it was because of the person from up there.


    She suddenly thought of a problem, and that was that she had too many things to do with Lishui County. If she did not care about it now, Lishui County would be equivalent to being paralyzed.


    Forget it, forget it. It''s useless to think too much. What should come will eventually come.

 C224

    Jin Weiwei finally had some free time, and Little Rich Son didn''t seem to be busy with other things either, as the two of them spent a beautiful afternoon together.


    However, this kind of time had only passed for an afternoon. On the second day, news came in, saying that it was the new Elder Wu De, who had let all the people who had just moved out of the isolation grounds to live in his house.


    "Aiyo, I''ll go!" Is this old eunuch courting death? "


    Jin Weiwei could not hold it in, and directly slammed the table in front of Little Rich Son.


    After waiting for a long time, and seeing that no one replied her, Jin Weiwei could not help but feel strange. He looked at the crowd and realised that they were all looking at her with strange gazes.


    "Weiwei..."


    Little Rich Son revealed a face of doubt, he did not really understand Jin Weiwei''s earlier sentence.


    Jin Weiwei''s face reddened. These words were usually used to curse at the bottom of her heart, but she didn''t expect herself to not have control over it today and say it out loud.


    "What are you all looking at me for? If you''re not happy, you can say a few words. "


    Jin Weiwei smacked the table again, scaring the two girls, Pearl Jade and Pearl Jade, so much that their heads drooped down.


    "Both of you, step back."


    Jin Weiwei said with a bit of anger. According to the damned eunuch''s way of doing things, there would probably be another riot in the Lishui County, and at that time, she would also be in trouble!


    "Weiwei, the time is not right."


    Just as Jin Weiwei was feeling as anxious as an ant on the brink of disaster, Little Rich Son spoke up. Her indifferent tone made Jin Weiwei have a strange calm and strong heart.


    That''s right, Little Rich Son is the son of the Regent. His identity in the Lishui County can only be kept secret, not that he can''t do anything else.


    "You have a way?"


    Jin Weiwei sat in front of Little Rich Son and asked excitedly. Her shop had already delayed her business for a long time, adding the fact that she had previously lost money to the merchants of the merchant guild, she only had 100 thousand silver from Little Rich Son. She did not have anything else.


    Ouch ¡­ She was really poor again, once she was back before liberation.


    "Yes."


    Little Rich Son laughed, his eyebrows rippling with gentleness, if you looked carefully, you could see a hint of coldness, the little emperor could not hold it in any longer.


    "That''s great. I''m relieved. I''ll leave the matters outside to you. I''ll go and see if those old men have produced the antidote."


    Thinking about the antidote, Jin Weiwei started to feel troubled again. Even if Little Rich Son could get rid of that old eunuch, if he couldn''t get the antidote out, there was only death waiting for him!


    She didn''t want to die yet. She still had a lot of youth, and she hadn''t reached the peak of her life yet.


    "Go."


    Little Rich Son raised his hand and touched Jin Weiwei''s head, there was an unfathomable emotion in his eyes. In the future, he would not let Weiwei touch such dangerous things.


    "..."


    After a day, Jin Weiwei did not see Little Rich Son taking any actions, but he received another piece of news. Wu De said that her prescription was fake, and after using it, although the people who had the malaria were slightly relieved, they became even more severe, and a few could not hold on any longer, and directly died.


    "Damn, I already told him that I only researched half of it, but he actually dared to use it!" Who gave him the courage?! "


    Pearl lowered her head. This afternoon, she had heard her master curse at her more than thirty times. It was true that she was quite angry, so it was better for her not to say anything.


    The more Jin Weiwei thought about it, the angrier he got. If Little Rich Son had not told her not to act rashly, she really wanted to lead people to unscrew his parietal bones!


    In truth, what Jin Weiwei did not know was that after Wu De ordered his men to boil the medicinal formula and eat the dead, he wanted to capture her to stop the rumors outside. In the end, Wang Hai came out and spoke with Wu De for a long time, so Wu De did not send anyone to capture Jin Weiwei.


    "..."


    "Have you found it?"


    Little Rich Son''s eyes had never left Scroll before, when he sensed Mo Ba flipping through the window and entering from behind.


    "prince, Wang Hai revealed your information."


    ''s face did not look too good. prince being here was a secret and Wu De was someone close to the emperor.


    "Then there''s no need to stay."


    As he put down the scroll in his hand, Mo Ba heard Little Rich Son''s voice become ice-cold. Unconsciously, he trembled twice, and felt pity for Wu De for the last two seconds.


    The next day, Jin Weiwei woke up. He was still washing his face when he heard the pearl report.


    "What did you say?" Say that again? "


    Jin Weiwei opened one of his eyes and looked at the blurry pearl and asked.


    "Mistress, I said, Eunuch Wu De who came yesterday has suddenly disappeared."


    "He''s gone? kidnapped? "


    Jin Weiwei''s first thought was like this. She already knew that Wu De was a person who hated people from the very beginning, that would definitely offend other people as well. Furthermore, he moved the sick people out of the isolation grounds.


    "I don''t know. I heard that it was a personal eunuch who disappeared when he went to look for someone in the morning. His bed is all cold, and he even had his clothes off."


    Pearl was extremely happy, and she had been unable to control the smile on her face. Yesterday, when she heard about Wu De doing such a thing, she knew that Wu De was not a good person.


    "Cold ¡­" Who would have such great ability? There must be someone guarding the old eunuch ¡­


    A face suddenly flashed across Jin Weiwei''s mind, could it be ¡­ Was it Little Rich Son?


    Was that the solution he proposed yesterday?


    Tsk tsk ¡­ That''s a bit too fierce, really... She loved it.


    "Find the Young Master Cheng and tell him to get the sick patients to move into the quarantine. There are still places for ordinary people to stay, so he must be disinfected. Then, get out of here."


    She was in a good mood. She hadn''t slept well last night, so she wanted to make up for it.


    "Mistress?" Won''t you get up? "


    Who knew that Jin Weiwei would only wave his hands and say: "Hmm, I didn''t sleep well last night, I''m going to go back to sleep, don''t bother me."


    Pearl thoughtfully nodded her head, her face suddenly turning red. Last night ¡­ Old master is sleeping with master.


    "..."


    West City, Changhua Lane.


    There was an alley full of beggars, but now there was no one there. Not far away, there was a white-haired, white-faced old man wearing only undergarments lying on the ground.


    He was surrounded by a few masked men in black, all of them emitting a murderous aura.


    Wu De suddenly woke up from his stupor. Looking at the pair of eyes that were as big as an ox''s eye, he was shocked to the point that he trembled.


    "You, who are you? Do you know who our family is? "Our home is someone close to the emperor ¡­"


    "Alright, alright!" I didn''t come here to listen to you talk about this! Are you awake? "When you wake up, eat all the food in front of you!"


    Mo Ba said impatiently, and kicked the porcelain bowl in front of Wu De.


    Wu De looked at the dirty steamed bun that still emitted a strange smell and felt nauseous. He said unhappily: "You guys are giving this to us? My home is the Emperor ¡­ "Ugh!"


    Mo Feng grabbed a bun and stuffed it into Wu De''s mouth. Mo Ba reacted and immediately hit him from behind.


    As they fought, they complained, "The people around your majesty! Right? Ouch, look at you! Today, I will teach you how to be a person! "

 C225

    "Ugh ¡­" "Ugh ¡­" "Ahem ¡­!"


    Wu De almost lost his breath after being tossed around by Mo Ba and Yue Yang. He spat out the sour bread in his mouth and realized that what he spat out was very little, and most of it was swallowed by him.


    "Who exactly are you people? What do you want to do?"


    Wu De asked while buttoning his throat.


    Mo Ba didn''t want to waste any more words with him and directly dragged Wu De by the collar into an alley.


    This was a relatively clean alley. Wu De trembled from the cold and revealed a face of doubt when he saw the slightly younger person''s back.


    "Do you know who you are? I am someone close to the emperor, and offending me is equivalent to offending the imperial government. If you let me go, there''s still room for discussion. Otherwise, it would be a crime of annihilation."


    Wu De also understood that these people would not let him go so easily, and had the intention to discuss with them.


    The man turned around slowly. When he could see the man''s face clearly, Wu De''s face was as white as a sheet. Him! Regent!


    When a letter landed in front of Wu De, what followed after was Little Rich Son''s cold and gloomy voice: "Are you familiar with it?"


    Wu De''s face was already pale, looking at the letter, his throat felt as though it was being torn, and he was unable to say a single word.


    That, that was the note that he had heard about from Regent when he was writing on the Lishui County. He was prepared to pass it to the capital.


    "prince Jing, servant, this servant has no other intentions ¡­"


    "Mo Ba, deliver the message to the capital."


    Little Rich Son lowered his eyes and coldly curled his lower lip, not even bothering to give Wu De a chance to explain himself.


    "Yes."


    Mo Ba nodded. prince had never been one to drag his feet, the reason why they fed Wu De that black mantou just now was because he wanted to do it.


    That steamed bun was bought from a beggar, and he even asked if it was bitten by mosquitoes. He even specially picked out the dirtiest and most smelly one, probably enough for Wu De to take a sip.


    Wu De was stupefied, he suddenly struggled and crawled in front of Little Rich Son: "prince, prince, I promise I won''t speak carelessly, please spare me, from now on, no matter what prince wants me to do, I will do! prince! "Spare me."


    "Bring him back, let Wang Hai make the proper arrangements."


    Hearing that, Wu De thought that Little Rich Son was going to release him, and was extremely grateful, as he continuously kowtowed to Little Rich Son.


    "Thank you, prince, for not killing me, thank you for not killing me ¡­"


    Mo Feng looked at Wu De as if he was a fool, he was even someone who had been with the Emperor before. Was his brain eaten by a dog?


    "..."


    "Little Rich Son! You''re finally back. "


    Seeing Little Rich Son, the anxious expression on Jin Weiwei''s face changed to joy, and she threw her skirt into Little Rich Son''s embrace.


    "Hmm?"


    Little Rich Son scurried back two steps, and steadily caught Jin Weiwei. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up.


    "Wu De is gone!"


    Jin Weiwei raised his head, revealing two small canines as he laughed extremely happily.


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son felt a little helpless.


    "Yes."


    "You did it?"


    "Yes."


    "That''s great."


    "Hmm?"


    Seeing Little Rich Son''s doubtful expression, Jin Weiwei smiled slyly: "You must be wondering why I''m so happy right?"


    Little Rich Son nodded his head. Jin Weiwei had no interest with the people of Lishui County, nor did he have any emotional connections. Why was he so happy?


    "That''s because he bullied me! Furthermore, if he continues to control Lishui County, it''s likely that it will become the world of the mob soon. If it''s the world of the mob, I won''t be able to do business, and I won''t be able to support you if I can''t do business. "


    "I''ll support you."


    Hearing that, the smile on Little Rich Son''s face widened, and he directly pulled Jin Weiwei into his embrace.


    "No way, I want to raise you! Once you become your prince, I will be able to rely on you for owing me money! "


    "Alright, just hold on."


    Little Rich Son patted Jin Weiwei''s head as if he did not take Jin Weiwei''s words seriously.


    A flash of loneliness appeared in Jin Weiwei''s eyes, at that time, would she still be able to stay by his side?


    "Mistress!" Master! Imperial Doctor Hu said that the prescription has been developed! "


    Hearing that, the two of them walked towards the courtyard of Imperial Doctor Hu and the others with tacit understanding.


    "..."


    "Greetings, prince."


    Before he even got close, he already saw the Imperial Doctor Hu coming towards him, the wrinkles on his face had all spread apart from his excitement.


    "Where is the prescription? Let me see! "


    The most excited one was still Jin Weiwei, who knew! If this plague didn''t leave, then her business would be done.


    With a medicine boy handing over the prescription, Jin Weiwei immediately received it.


    "How''s the effect?"


    After looking at Jin Weiwei for a while, Little Rich Son finally looked at Imperial Doctor Hu.


    "Returning to the prince, we have already tested the medicinal efficacy of the drug on patients with malaria. Those with fewer illnesses can go down the mountain and walk for two days."


    Imperial Doctor Hu''s face was full of excitement. This was the first time in his life that he had been so proud of his treatment, this was a plague!


    Little Rich Son nodded, he looked down and saw Jin Weiwei frowning.


    "Green, pepper... We should add another fruit of grass here. Otherwise, it will only be effective for those with fewer illnesses and for those with fewer problems. "


    Looking at the prescription on top, Jin Weiwei''s memories of the prescription finally cleared up.


    The Imperial Doctor Hu frowned, but just as he was about to retort, he saw Little Rich Son nodding at him: "Add this feeling into the mix."


    "No more than three."


    Jin Weiwei warned again, the eyes of Imperial Doctor Hu who was looking at the prescription suddenly lit up: "Has Madame Jin learned about medicine before?"


    "No, I''ve only seen this formula, so I remember some of it."


    Jin Weiwei shook his head. To say that the old man had to drag her away to study medicine and look at her eyes, which were as bright as big lightbulbs, was too scary.


    Hearing that, Imperial Doctor Hu had a face of disappointment. So that was the case, what a pity.


    "Imperial Doctor Hu will go and measure the quantity of the medicine. I will order some people to find the herbs."


    The Imperial Doctor Hu nodded, Jin Weiwei smiled and nodded, then followed Little Rich Son and left.


    "..."


    Jin Weiwei came to the Chamber of Commerce in a hurry. After searching, he found that Cheng Yu was really here.


    "Quick, Young Master Cheng, can you transfer these herbs on my paper from other places?"


    She had gone to all the pharmacies in the Lishui County and found the missing peppers, grass fruits, Chang Shan and a few other herbs. She had only found the quantity of ten people.


    She had just woken up and didn''t have much contact with the outside world. She could imagine that the only person who was in much contact with the outside world other than Xia Zhe, was Cheng Yu, even if there were other people, she wouldn''t be familiar with them.


    Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, and then turned into pleasant surprise: "You''ve managed to create a prescription?"


    "Yes, I am missing these few medicinal herbs. Young Master Cheng, please help out."


    Jin Weiwei nodded her head, she was anxious, the earlier the better, she was exhausted.


    "You don''t have to say that. I will definitely help you with this matter. Just mind your own business."


    With that, she did not even have the time to say goodbye to Jin Weiwei before taking the piece of paper and leaving the merchant guild.


    Lishui County, which was originally lifeless in the morning, suddenly came to life, and all of their faces were filled with hope and extreme joy as they sobbed.


    "The Madame Jin has developed a prescription!"

 C226

    Jin Weiwei heard these words the most while she was walking on the streets, and the gazes of the people towards her were no longer complicated, they were filled with hatred and other unknown emotions.


    Jin Weiwei could not help but exclaim, this person, was truly complicated.


    Maybe it was because of Little Rich Son''s secret help, or maybe it was also thanks to Wang Hai. Within three days, Cheng Yu managed to find the missing herbs.


    Jin Weiwei guessed that Little Rich Son would be the one to help the most, since he had a lot of power.


    "Eunuch!" Eunuch! Madame Jin has developed an antidote for the plague. This lowly one will go and get the medicine now to treat Eunuch''s illness. "


    Wu De opened his eyes and noticed that his disciple, whom he usually disliked, was by the side of the bed.


    "Go, go find him. We must take revenge!"


    Wu De''s eyes were filled with hatred, he finally understood why Ji Jingzhi had fed him that dirty steamed bun and why she let him off so easily.


    Ji Jingzhi had no intention to let that dirty steamed bun go if it could cause someone to be infected by the plague.


    "Lil ''Six, remember to dress up like an ordinary person. Once you''ve cured my family, when you get back to the palace, you must be properly supported."


    Hearing this, Lil ''Liu shook his head with tears and snot streaming down his face, "As long as you can follow Master, then that''s enough. I''ll go get some medicine for you now."


    Wu De was currently in a secluded courtyard in the inner court of the county court. There were also many yamen runner s guarding the surroundings, and they were surrounding him so not even a drop of water could trickle through.


    Little Six naturally could not escape Little Rich Son''s eyes when he went out.


    "..."


    "What did you say? Then why did the little eunuch beside Wu De help him grab the medicine?"


    Upon hearing his subordinate''s words, Mo Ba''s eyes widened, oh no, you have guts, prince hasn''t even spoken, and you already started to get restless?


    "Just wait, I''ll go in and ask prince."


    Recently, in order to not let Jin Weiwei get busy, the prince had taken care of everything that he could. Even these guards that were obviously hiding in the shadows were found and used by the prince as officials. This Lishui County must be his nemesis.


    Mo Ba went in and saw Little Rich Son following beside him with a brush and ink in his hand.


    Needless to say, prince really did look like a weak scholar.


    "Right, how much weight do you have with this herb?"


    Jin Weiwei and Little Rich Son were recording the amount of herbs they had, so that they could be reconciled with the officials.


    Jin Weiwei just realised that the herbs he grew were not enough to look at, only with the help of Cheng Yu and the others, he was able to stay calm and collected.


    "prince."


    Mo Ba squeezed into the crowd, leaned close and whispered into Little Rich Son''s ear. "prince, that Wu De is buying medicine."


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son''s eyes became gloomy, he turned his head to look at Jin Weiwei who was still ordering the herbs, and said: "No need to stay."


    "Yes."


    Mo Ba raised his head, seeing how Little Rich Son treated Jin Weiwei, he suddenly understood what prince meant.


    Previously, when the prince didn''t kill Wu De and instead infected him with the plague, he wanted Wu De to die a natural death so that no one, including Jin Weiwei, would be affected.


    A person infected with the plague would most likely die. This was extremely normal.


    "..."


    The matter of the plague gradually came to an end. Jin Weiwei busied himself with it every day, and the citizens of Lishui County also saw that the majority of the things he used were from Jin Weiwei.


    The news of Jin Weiwei helping them pay back the money due to the mob destroying the shop had somehow spread out. Right now in the Lishui County, as long as it was a person, they would be respectful to Jin Weiwei.


    After letting out a long breath, she finally felt relieved.


    Heavens! She was free!


    Right, there was one more thing.


    She had to ask Wang Hai about the person who instigated the mob.


    "Pearl, Jadeite, come and help me with my makeup."


    As he thought about it, Jin Weiwei started to call for the two girls outside. She really liked these two girls'' cooking more and more, not only did they cook well, they also had a set set of combing style.


    "..."


    Wang Hai frowned as he listened to the attendant''s report.


    "My Lord, that Eunuch Wu ¡­" "Dead ¡­"


    "Why is he dead?"


    Wang Hai''s heart tightened, this Eunuch Wu was someone close to the Emperor, if he suddenly died, how could he explain it to the imperial government?


    "I heard from Eunuch Wu''s eldest disciple that Eunuch Wu''s health was not good before this and that he had gotten the plague. He can''t take it anymore and is gone."


    attendant replied.


    Hearing that, Wang Hai''s frown disappeared. If it was because of the plague, then the imperial government could not find trouble with him. Why did it seem a little strange to him?


    "Then is Eunuch Wu''s eldest disciple really saying that?"


    "It was Eunuch Wu''s eldest disciple who told me that he would not be lying."


    attendant wiped away the sweat on his forehead. He knew the severity of this matter and was afraid that Wang Hai would take revenge on him when he came to report.


    Hearing this, Wang Hai did not panic anymore. Even the young eunuch beside Wu De had said this, and was indicating that he did not want to blow the matter up.


    "Mm, this county understands. You may leave."


    "Yes."


    When Jin Weiwei came over, he almost bumped into the Wu De who was about to be carried out for cremation.


    Pearl, seeing how unlucky it was, was immediately infuriated. "How did you all see the road!? Don''t you know there''s someone ahead? My lady has not been filial piety yet, and something big will happen to you all if you do that! "


    The funeral custom of Lishui County was to invite a person who had nothing to do to show their filial piety to their clan. It was a charge against them, but of course, in a situation like this, it was also a charge against them.


    When the bearers saw this, they were shocked. Their faces turned pale, not knowing what to do.


    "Okay, pearls, they did not do this on purpose. Everyone will be given three and a half gold coins. As long as you are pressured, it will be fine."


    Jin Weiwei inherited the memories of the previous female lead, so he naturally knew the rules of burial. In this kind of situation, one would either be attacked by the charging party and pay three and a half gold coins, or else the charging party would have to request a monk to do it.


    Jin Weiwei originally wanted to take a step forward, but suddenly a gust of wind blew past him, covering him with a white cloth, revealing a pale white face.


    "Wu De?!"


    Jin Weiwei was shocked, his expression was extremely terrifying ¡­


    The last time she heard news of Wu De was still kidnapped by him, why did she die so quickly, could it be that it was Little Rich Son who did it?


    "Mistress, what''s wrong?"


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei snapped out of his daze and shook his head. "I''m fine."


    If it was Little Rich Son who did it, then it would be too ruthless ¡­


    "Please inform him that Madame Jin wishes to meet with Lord Wang."


    Upon entering the Main Hall, pearl automatically went up to speak with the yamen runner who was guarding the Main Hall.


    "The Lord is in the rear court. Wait a moment, I''ll go report to the Lord."


    Recently, Jin Weiwei was known by everyone in the Lishui County. His reputation was excellent and he was on good terms with the people, so he could not be offended.


    After the time it took to make a cup of tea, Wang Hai came out.


    "Madame Jin, is it not busy outside? When are you free to come visit me? "

 C227

    Hearing Wang Hai''s many courteous words, Jin Weiwei suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.


    "The matters outside are almost settled. I just remember that Lord Wang was still troubled earlier because of the mob uprising. Is there any progress?"


    She could be considered to have tactfully reminded Wang Hai. If he were to openly interfere in the matters of the officials, Wang Hai would not be satisfied. Before, she had interfered because the situation was special, and no one could tolerate you forever.


    Hearing that, Wang Hai had a look of understanding.


    "Yes, it''s indeed related to the Boss Wang. It''s just that during this period of time, he was too busy dealing with the plague to capture him."


    Wang Hai''s face did not look good, because the Boss Wang was urging him to do so, his contributions this time were different. Raising his position might not be a problem, but the rank he could reach depended on the person in charge.


    Now that he had to curry favor with a businesswoman, he was afraid that he might not be able to get promoted.


    "Boss Wang''s behavior is very bad. After so many years, I believe he has also done many bad things. Whether this family''s source of wealth is righteous or not is questionable. I won''t disturb you. "


    Now that he had the answer he wanted, there was no need for him to stay here.


    Wang Hai narrowed his eyes as he looked at Jin Weiwei''s back, this was Jin Weiwei''s reminder, the Boss Wang''s family''s property was not clean, he could go and investigate, or in other words, if he wanted the Boss Wang''s property to be confiscated, it could be confiscated.


    And since Ji Jingzhi had Ji Jingzhi behind him, then Jin Weiwei''s words had Ji Jingzhi''s intentions. He could do whatever he wanted with the Boss Wang.


    So, very good ¡­


    "..."


    "Why did you come with me?"


    The moment Jin Weiwei stepped out of the door, he immediately saw Little Rich Son. He was slightly surprised, as he had been sticking closely to her recently.


    "I''m worried about you."


    Little Rich Son''s calm eyes changed a little when he saw Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei could not help but laugh, some people could really speak more and more.


    "Master Wang has found the Boss Wang. With regards to the mob, the Wang family is probably gone."


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son could only nod his head, his face did not have any expression.


    Jin Weiwei could not help but think of Wu De''s corpse when he entered the yamen.


    "Wu De is dead."


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but remind him.


    "Yes."


    Jin Weiwei''s response was light. With furrowed brows, he asked, "Do you know how you died?"


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son turned and looked at her, his eyes flashing twice: "I contracted the plague, I died of illness."


    "But he has the prescription. He won''t die that quickly."


    When Wu De got the plague, he had already developed a prescription for it. Other serious patients would all recover, not to mention the one that Wu De did not have serious injuries, so there was only one possibility, and that was that he had been killed.


    "Mm ¡­"


    Little Rich Son stared fixedly at Jin Weiwei, seeing her frown, his heart felt as though it was struck, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.


    "For what? Me? "


    Jin Weiwei felt the same, he was admitting that he did it. Although she knew that Little Rich Son''s hands must have been stained in blood before, she did not want Little Rich Son to be stained in blood for her.


    "Yes."


    Having confirmed his answer, Jin Weiwei felt even more uncomfortable, and his grip on Little Rich Son''s hand tightened.


    Jin Weiwei turned his head and glanced at the scenery outside the window. He didn''t know how to explain his mood to Little Rich Son.


    After a while, he suddenly felt someone approaching him from the side. Jin Weiwei turned his head, and landed in Little Rich Son''s embrace.


    "Ugh ¡­" I can''t breathe! "


    "Weiwei..."


    Jin Weiwei struggled a few times. Seeing her struggle position becoming more comfortable, he hugged her even more tightly.


    "I don''t blame you, I blame myself."


    The muffled sound of someone speaking from Little Rich Son''s embrace sounded a little wronged.


    "¡­?"


    Little Rich Son was startled, then smiled. He thought that the person in his arms was blaming him for killing others, and it turned out that he was blaming him for doing so.


    "I don''t want you to kill people for me."


    Jin Weiwei suddenly reached out his arms to hug Little Rich Son, and buried his face deep in Little Rich Son''s embrace. He was so sad that he didn''t want to do anything, and Wu De actually didn''t do anything either ¡­


    "He deserves to die."


    Little Rich Son soothingly patted Jin Weiwei''s back. When was mentioned, his eyes went cold for a moment, this person was the murderer who killed one of his mother. The fact that his father allowed this person to come was a chance for him to take revenge.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s heart ached for a moment. Hearing Little Rich Son''s hate, could it be that he had a deep grudge with Wu De?


    "..."


    With the plague gone, Jin Weiwei felt relaxed all over.


    Her biggest deal right now was Xia Zhe''s deal. If Xia Zhe came back, she would definitely be able to earn a lot of money.


    But the key thing was, Xia Zhe had not come back yet!


    If Xia Zhe did not come back, she would be a pauper!


    Jin Weiwei carefully calculated the bill, and realised that the silver that the officials owed her was enough to open a small bank. This won''t do, she had to think of a way to make the officials pay back the money, so that Wang Hai could pay back the money!


    Bang!


    Little Rich Son''s brows twitched, he turned to look at Jin Weiwei who was patting the table: "What''s wrong?"


    "The government owes me so much money, I have to ask for it!"


    She was still holding onto the promissory note, but Wang Hai still had not replied her. What did he mean?


    "There''s no need. He has already reported it to the imperial government."


    Little Rich Son smiled faintly, so it was all for this matter.


    The imperial court?


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but look at Little Rich Son. Needless to say, this matter was definitely driven by him, why did she feel that the recent Little Rich Son was so considerate?


    If that was the case, she would have to wait for the store to open. Aiyo, it had almost been two or three months since the store had opened and they were out of stock.


    "Pearl Jadeite."


    "Sigh, Mistress."


    The two of them jogged in. Seeing their master''s eyes shining, they knew that Jin Weiwei was very happy, even for them.


    "Send the news down, tell the other butcher to hurry up and make the sausages, collecting them at 10% of the original market price. Also, bring some men to the counties to collect some cows, horses, pigs and sheep, leave half for breeding and the other half for slaughtering."


    Jin Weiwei excitedly ordered. Because of the plague, a lot of livestock had been burnt, and since the livestock were used to attract mosquitoes, in order to prevent other epidemics, Jin Weiwei had people kill all the livestock in the Lishui County. Those that were not sick kept their livestock to eat, while those that were sick burned.


    Therefore, right now, she might not even be able to see a dog on her way to Lishui County, and even wanted to return some of the livestock back home. Back then, she had already promised to not go back on her word when she sent people to slaughter them.


    "..."


    Wang Hai''s report was an urgent report, so he was able to arrive at the capital city in five or six days.


    When Ji Changhuai saw the contents of the paper roll, he nearly opened his mouth wide, but his son''s way of doing things was still as vicious as ever.


    One of the eunuchs by the little emperor''s side had died just like that, and he had also died from a disease. If the people in the imperial court wanted to find trouble with him, they would have to consider it.


    The next day, in the throne room.


    "Your majesty, there''s a piece of good news and a piece of bad news today. May I know which one your majesty wishes to hear first?"


    ÿ

 C228

    The emperor already knew that Wu De had died, now that he saw Ji Changhuai''s slightly happy face, he felt even more stifled. If anything happened to his Lishui County, he could start pulling Ji Changhuai''s power out from such a small place.


    Who knew that Wu De was also a useless being? He had only gone there for a short while, but he had already died!


    "Of course I want to hear the good news first. Uncle Huang, please speak."


    Even though his heart was about to explode, he still smiled merrily at Ji Changhuai. There was still a lot of time in the future, and he did not believe that Ji Changhuai could continue to be so powerful.


    "The good news is that the plague from the Lishui County has disappeared with the combined efforts of the commoners. What''s more commendable is that the merchant guilds from the Lishui County have contributed a lot to the plague, but this old subject feels that they should not be forced to contribute in vain. This is the bill that Lishui County knows handed over, so I ask that the emperor give the silver over from the warehouse as soon as possible, saying that nothing can ruin the hearts of the commoners."


    While Ji Changhuai was speaking, the eunuch beside the emperor had already taken the imperial report.


    The emperor felt his head throbbing in pain, he pushed away the imperial report in the eunuch''s hand and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying to Ji Changhuai.


    "I believe in Uncle Huang''s handling ability. I won''t be reading this imperial report."


    He was afraid that Zhang Xuan would spit out blood and be mocked by this old fart!


    The smile on Ji Changhuai''s face widened, and he said, "The emperor is already eighteen years old, so political affairs should be properly studied. My royal uncle is old, the emperor can''t always be dependent on him."


    These words almost made the emperor roll his eyes. He also wanted to take matters into his own hands!


    But some time ago, all of his power and influence had been pulled out by Ji Changhuai, so even his Xu Family was useless!


    "What Uncle Huang said is right, recently I''ve also been studying. I want to go to the Crown Prince''s office in two days to pick out some talents, and I just happen to be lacking an imperial writing officer. What do you think, Uncle Huang?"


    Hearing that, Ji Changhuai''s brows twitched, could it be that the little emperor wanted to start from somewhere else?


    Alright, since my son isn''t in the capital, he might as well be bored, so he decided to play with the little emperor.


    "This subject obeys the decree. Last time, this subject caught many corrupt and filthy things, and all the official positions are lacking people. It would be better for the emperor to send someone up from the locals, or perhaps hold a temporary entrance exam to give these scholars a chance."


    The corners of the Emperor''s mouth hooked up invisibly as he said, "Alright, it''s as uncle Huang wishes. Right, what''s the bad news uncle Huang said?"


    Oh, it''s Eunuch Wu who was following the Emperor around since he was young. He caught the plague and died, so as to prevent the plague from spreading,, the county magistrate of the Lishui County, burned it.


    Ji Changhuai could not help but sneer in his heart. The little Emperor was indeed an ungrateful bastard, then Wu De had watched him grow up, but he did not look the least bit sad, and he was even more angry.


    "I am also sad that Wu De died, but this thing must have been spread by a plague, so I think it is better that royal uncle not get infected. Jiang Lienying, get someone to burn this thing."


    The emperor pretended to grieve, then ordered the people around him to burn the items.


    Ji Changhuai had a smile that was not a smile. He had a good daughter-in-law, otherwise, he would not know that the plague was spread only through mosquitoes, so he would not dare to take the money.


    "..."


    When the news reached his Lishui County, Jin Weiwei was busy opening a shop.


    Little Rich Son took out the account book in Jin Weiwei''s hands and ruefully rubbed her head: "If you''re tired, then you don''t need to look."


    "I don''t want to look. What should I do about the people below?"


    Jin Weiwei rubbed his neck and took the account book from Little Rich Son''s hands. She wanted to be a rich and beautiful woman, how could she admit defeat so easily?


    Little Rich Son was helpless, his hand landed on Jin Weiwei''s shoulder and he started to pinch it.


    Jin Weiwei''s face flushed red, she uncomfortably shrugged her shoulders, wondering where Little Rich Son had learnt all these things, it was strange that she was not used to it.


    Mo Ba who was on the roof suddenly moved. He turned his head and staggered.


    "What are you doing?"


    The leaf in Mo Ba''s mouth dropped to the ground. In front of him, Mo Feng was looking at him with eyes that were cold as knives.


    Mo Feng snorted coldly, turning his head and ignoring him. Don''t think that he did not hear yesterday''s conversation between Mo Ba and the prince.


    The reason was because prince was too tired from looking at this woman. When he passed by a shop and saw a man massaging a woman''s shoulders, he asked them what they were doing. Isn''t it embarrassing in public?


    In the end, Mo Ba replied prince that it was the appearance of a loving couple. The husband understands that his wife has worked hard and would be very happy if the husband were to help his wife relieve her fatigue.


    However, not long after he returned, Jin Weiwei returned in a very tired manner. Little Rich Son immediately pinched him with his hands, shocking not only Jin Weiwei, but all of the guards on the roof back down as well.


    Mo Ba rubbed his nose, looked down at prince, who was asking about Jin Weiwei''s comfortable condition, and couldn''t bear to look at him.


    His thought back then was actually very simple, he was only giving a simple explanation. Also, he also wanted to see how prince would look like when he did such a thing ¡­


    Only, he did not expect that the prince would actually do such a thing ¡­


    Jin Weiwei bit her lips and thought for a long time before pulling Little Rich Son''s hand away. She turned her head to look at his serious and doubtful face and asked: "Where did you learn all this?"


    It was strange that people could not get used to it.


    "..." You''re not happy? "


    Could it be that Mo Ba was lying to him?


    "I''m happy, it''s just that I''m not used to seeing you like this."


    Jin Weiwei frowned and thought for a moment. It was as if when Little Rich Son squeezed for her, his heart was filled with pink bubbles and happiness.


    As he thought about it, the corner of Jin Weiwei''s mouth rose uncontrollably, the happiness flickering in his eyes made Little Rich Son''s eyes sink, his gaze could not help but look down, and what touched his eyes was Jin Weiwei''s full, glistening lips.


    During this period of silence, Jin Weiwei still wanted to say something, but who knew that someone''s lips would drop down, causing her to be stunned for a moment.


    The people on the rafters turned their heads towards the other direction in tacit understanding. Their faces were more or less flushed red. Men without women.


    The person tasting the gluttonous foot let go of Jin Weiwei in a good mood, the strength in his grip becoming even more gentle.


    However, Jin Weiwei who was reading the account book became redder and redder, his mind flashing with memories of his previous gentleness and wetness, his taste still remained in his mouth, making him extremely embarrassed.


    "About that, I have something to do at the Chamber of Commerce."


    As she was thinking, Jin Weiwei suddenly stood up. She almost forgot that Cheng Yu had asked her out today.


    "I''ll accompany you."


    Seeing Jin Weiwei''s anxious look, Little Rich Son''s face also became serious, the depths of his eyes showing that he was not displeased.


    "Right. Let''s go."


    Little Rich Son naturally held Jin Weiwei''s hand. After what had just happened, Jin Weiwei did not resist so much.


    Rather than being reserved, it would be better to take the opportunity to experience the taste of being in love. Their relationship was closer, and if Little Rich Son pretended to be more pretentious in her heart, then her resistance in the future would lessen ¡­

 C229

    Jin Weiwei sighed silently in her heart. Was she being too scheming?


    After arriving at the merchant guild, Little Rich Son did not avoid people like he usually did, but followed Jin Weiwei in.


    None of the people here dared to say anything. After all, Jin Weiwei''s influence in the Lishui County and the merchant guild''s influence was not something they could shake.


    "Madame Jin, you''re here."


    Cheng Yu laughed lightly, and Jin Weiwei nodded to him. Little Rich Son glanced at Cheng Yu, and then turned to look at the scenery outside the window.


    The current Cheng Yu had more of the feelings towards him out of friendship. From the plague, it could be seen that he could not give Jin Weiwei his freedom, at least his family would not allow women from the backyard to meddle in business matters.


    After thinking it through, Cheng Yu gradually tried to let go of her feelings for Jin Weiwei.


    "Young Master Cheng, I have brought the design you wanted."


    Jin Weiwei had never forgotten about Cheng Yu''s words. After asking her for the plague, she took out a better design for a house like the quarantine.


    "Really?"


    Hearing that, Cheng Yu was overjoyed. He took over Jin Weiwei''s design and looked at it, and realised that it was much more exquisite than the one he took out last time, the connections between the different parts of the house were even more exquisite and complex. What was even more amazing was that the house on the design had four floors.


    "If I''m not mistaken, Young Master Yu Cheng wants to sell it to the commoners?"


    This was ancient times. No large family liked to live in a building, right? In addition, the larger the residence, the more distinguished the identity. To wealthy families, pavilions and pavilions were merely decorations.


    Therefore, she guessed that Cheng Yu wanted to sell it to the commoners.


    "Yes, Madame Jin is really smart."


    Cheng Yu''s mouth almost reached his ears, Jin Weiwei''s eyes revealed shock and admiration, after hearing Cheng Yu admit that there was really a difference in her thoughts.


    At the same time, she was also amazed by the wisdom of the ancient people. She believed that if some modern things were brought to the ancient world, it wouldn''t take long before the ancient people could make good use of them.


    "I have a suggestion, is Young Master Cheng interested in listening?"


    This was equivalent to the development of disguised real estate. How could she let go of a good deal that could earn money?


    "How much does Young Master Cheng intend to sell this suite for?"


    "One suite?"


    Cheng Yu revealed doubt on his face, but immediately followed up: "What I''m thinking is, the first floor will look like a courtyard, and then I''ll sell it."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei could not help but laugh.


    "Young Master Cheng, if that''s the case, I''m afraid you will suffer a loss."


    "Why does Madame Jin say that?"


    Cheng Yu frowned, looking at the design in his hand, he was unwilling to let go.


    "According to the price of a courtyard in the east city, it would be 1600 taels of silver, 1100 taels in the west city, 1400 taels in the middle alley, 1000 taels in the north city, 700 taels in the suburbs of the county, so the price of the houses in Young Master Cheng would have to be lower if they were to be sold to ordinary citizens. Otherwise, if they could not be sold, the price would be around 1000 taels of silver."


    Cheng Yu nodded his head, his face was filled with suspicions, he wanted to build this house in the city, whether it was for food or work, it was extremely convenient, the price was already very cheap.


    "It is indeed quite cheap, then has Young Master Cheng ever thought of selling it cheaply? The places are a little smaller and can be divided into upper, middle and lower classes?"


    However, this was already very good, after all, they had just started out and if not for the teleportation, Jin Weiwei would not even dare to be certain that he had thought of things better than Cheng Yu.


    Hearing that, Cheng Yu laughed, knowing that Jin Weiwei had an idea, he said: "Madame Jin, don''t keep us in suspense, if you have any thoughts, speak out."


    "Then I''ll say it."


    Jin Weiwei sat opposite of Cheng Yu with a wide smile. She had been waiting for these words.


    "Of course I have a way, but I want to cooperate with Young Master Cheng, what does Young Master Cheng think?"


    Hearing the conversation between the two, Little Rich Son turned his head and looked at the designs on the table, his mind thinking back to the focused look of Jin Weiwei drawing last night, but he remembered, there were more than just these few.


    "So you were waiting for me here?" Madame Jin is so wise, he managed to get me into his guild. "


    Cheng Yu shook his head helplessly and knocked himself on the head.


    Jin Weiwei smiled slyly: "It''s a business, it''s profitable."


    "Fine, I am sixty-four with my wife?"


    "Fifty cents."


    Jin Weiwei blinked, she had so many designs in her hands, she wasn''t afraid that Cheng Yu would disagree.


    Cheng Yu squinted his eyes and thought, seeing how confident Jin Weiwei was, he must have other thoughts, just that one idea was already interesting, not to mention other ideas.


    If he let go of such a great opportunity to earn money, he would be the one to lose.


    "Fine, deal, quickly tell me what you think."


    After it had quieted down for a while, the quiet Little Rich Son could not help but come over.


    "Alright, let''s talk about the contract first. It''s not that I don''t believe in you, but I believe in the contract even more."


    Jin Weiwei also said in a serious tone. It''s just a business matter. His blood brother still knew how to settle debts.


    Hearing this, Cheng Yu was even more helpless. Jin Weiwei was very suitable to be a businessman, and being friends was a good thing. When it came to business, he was more cautious than anyone, and also more daring than anyone else.


    "Alright."


    "..."


    After he finished the complicated agreement, Jin Weiwei rubbed his eyes and turned around. He realised that the sky had turned dark and his stomach was empty.


    "Young Master Cheng, why don''t we eat and talk?"


    Jin Weiwei blinked, and then Little Rich Son walked over and said: "I have reserved a place to eat?"


    Cheng Yu raised his head in surprise. He and Jin Weiwei were too focused in their discussion and did not notice when Little Rich Son sent someone to order it.


    Jin Weiwei could not help but laugh and nod his head. This was her man, how nice.


    Seeing that, Cheng Yu''s smile was somewhat bitter, he advised himself to put it down, but did he really do so?


    Looking at Jin Weiwei''s tiny appearance, Cheng Yu couldn''t help but feel happy for her. Maybe only the man beside her knew what she wanted.


    As the sky gradually darkened, they arrived at the First Pin residence.


    Only when they served dishes did Cheng Yu realize that this person was Jin Weiwei''s favorite food.


    Or, on another level, could he see that the man didn''t care about him at all?


    Cheng Yu was also not one to be bothered.


    At the same time that Jin Weiwei was happy, she was also helpless. She was not blind, the dishes on the table were all things she liked to eat.


    However, she was eating with someone else. It was easy for her to offend someone this way, not to mention the fact that the two of them had just come to an agreement. That made it even more awkward.


    "Waiter, add a few more dishes."


    Jin Weiwei stopped the waiter who was about to go downstairs and added a few dishes that Cheng Yu usually liked.


    Although she didn''t know if Cheng Yu liked these dishes, but since she knew that he would usually treat her to food, it shouldn''t be too far away from him, right?


    Little Rich Son squinted, revealing some dangerous signals. When did she remember what other men liked?

 C230

    Jin Weiwei did not notice the changes in the people around him, but Cheng Yu did.


    Inexplicably, he did not say anything, but his heart felt at ease. Among these few dishes, two or three were things that he liked to eat, and should be something that Jin Weiwei remembered after eating with him.


    "Madame Jin, you just made up your mind about the contract, now you can say what you have in mind."


    Jin Weiwei swallowed a mouthful of meat before speaking, "Young Master Cheng, take a look at these three designs first."


    As she said that, she gave a meaningful glance at the pearl, who then handed over the blueprint to Cheng Yu.


    Cheng Yu took the blueprint, and his eyes suddenly brightened up after looking at it twice. He did not understand the design, but he did see through it a few times.


    Jin Weiwei took the opportunity while he was looking at the map to take another two bites of meat. While she was coughing, Little Rich Son placed a cup of water beside her.


    After drinking the water, she looked up to see Cheng Yu looking at her with excitement.


    "Madame Jin, can you explain this drawing to me?"


    The decorations are passable, and the average set is 60 feet by 15 feet. Look, the larger one here is the master bedroom, which is where the head of the family lives. These two are the second bedroom, the average family, and they either live in children or live with their parents.


    After saying that, Cheng Yu nodded as if he understood something, and after looking for a while, he finally understood.


    She could not help but look at Jin Weiwei in pleasant surprise. This was simply... Cheng Yu pursed his lips and retracted his gaze.


    At this moment, the bowl in front of Jin Weiwei was stacked into a mountain, while Jin Weiwei''s gaze was still fixated on the few dishes on the table.


    Cheng Yu''s eyebrows could not help but twitch. Jin Weiwei... He was truly different from an ordinary girl. Perhaps it was because they were not familiar with each other when they were eating, or perhaps there was someone else around. He was very reserved and courteous, and today, he finally experienced what it meant to eat boldly and unrestrainedly.


    In fact, Jin Weiwei ate very stably. If she was the only one he was sure of, she would definitely have a chicken leg in her left hand and a duck leg in her right.


    "Young Master Cheng, have you thought it through?"


    Jin Weiwei wiped the corner of his mouth gracefully and looked at Cheng Yu smilingly.


    "I understand. This one is much smaller than what I originally thought. It shouldn''t be a problem to sell it for five or six hundred silver taels. It''s just that this person likes the courtyard so isn''t he afraid of being unable to sell it?"


    The reason why they like the yard is because they can grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks, but they can''t raise vegetables in the city. The reason why they like the yard is because they can plant vegetables and raise chickens and ducks, but they can''t raise chickens and ducks.


    Jin Weiwei had drawn a rectangle on the drawing. When she was designing it, she had thought of this aspect, so the design of the balcony was a little big. Moreover, there were quite a few types of low grade houses with different prices.


    "Moreover, whether or not I can sell it all depends on my mouth."


    With that, Cheng Yu fell into deep thought. Seeing that he was fine, Jin Weiwei started to eat again.


    "Madame Jin, I think that Lishui County cannot contain this idea. Lishui County can only be used to create this kind of low grade, the Lishui County s are mostly controlled by the sellswords, the commoners in the city all have their own houses, the outsiders are mostly shopkeepers who are going to show their shops to the merchants, waiters, and some small traders.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei turned his head to look at the blueprints, and then started to check the situation of his Lishui County.


    Most of the shopkeepers in this shop were laborers, and the rich ones were servants who came from the family. If he could buy his own yard, there was no need to talk about other things.


    "Let''s go to Ye City."


    She had went there with Little Rich Son the last time. It was very bustling there, and the levels of wealth there would be very complicated, but it was just that they would probably have a difficult time in the beginning.


    However ¡­ Jin Weiwei suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Little Rich Son. How could she have forgotten that the last time the two of them went, they lost half their lives and came back.


    Unexpectedly, Little Rich Son nodded towards her.


    "..." Little Rich Son is not afraid?


    "I can do Ye City, but ¡­"


    Cheng Yu also seemed to be worried, as if he had thought of someone.


    Gongsun Hong is also there ¡­


    Cheng Yu squinted his eyes, the last time he went into the prison, he was almost tricked miserably by this man.


    "If Young Master Cheng has any worries, why don''t we change to another place?"


    Jin Weiwei frowned, she did not like that place either.


    "No, there''s no need. Let''s go there."


    Cheng Yu smirked and blinked. She seemed to have seen a charming Cheng Yu?


    "We''ll go after the new year?" Or is it a year ago? "


    "Before the new year, it just so happens that you can move the butcher''s shop to the Ye City first. I can also move the shop to the Ye City and take the vanguard."


    Thinking about the worries in his mind, Cheng Yu felt that he should leave before the new year.


    "Alright."


    Firstly, they would be able to see the situation with the Ye City. After the new year, they would be able to move it.


    Thirdly, even if she saw that Little Rich Son seemed to have arranged something with the Ye City, there was no harm in taking a look.


    Jin Weiwei was extremely satisfied with her meal, but the two people beside her did not move, making her feel slightly embarrassed. She was a little hungry today, if she ate too much, wouldn''t it scare people off?


    After getting on the carriage, Jin Weiwei realized that something was amiss.


    In the past, Little Rich Son would only do it when she was with him.


    Did she offend him?


    The strange Jin Weiwei also climbed onto the carriage, upon entering the carriage, he immediately felt a chill. Someone ignored her with a cold face and even turned his head to look out the window, not even looking at her.


    Hey, hey! Little fellow, are you angry?


    "What''s wrong?"


    Jin Weiwei felt that if there were any problems, they had to be solved. Otherwise, the contradictions between them would only grow bigger.


    There was no response. Someone''s face still stank.


    Jin Weiwei rubbed her nose. She didn''t do anything today ¡­


    Sigh! No, why does she feel that it''s the opposite? Today, Little Rich Son was so ignorant, causing her to almost offend people, but she didn''t blame him.


    "You have nothing to say about what happened today?"


    After Jin Weiwei finished speaking, he looked at Little Rich Son in a daze, and realized that this person did not even give her a glance, nor did he bother to reply.


    "..." What sort of temper was this?


    If he didn''t speak, then he didn''t speak! It made her want to say something! Humph!


    Jin Weiwei was so angry that he turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window and ignored Little Rich Son.


    This frozen atmosphere continued until returned to the manor. After getting off the carriage, he snorted coldly and entered the manor a step earlier than Little Rich Son.


    Seeing that, Little Rich Son''s face became even colder.


    Pearl Jadeite was stunned on the spot. What was going on?


    Was it master who provoked the old master? Or had the old master offended his master?


    From the looks of it, didn''t the two of them provoke each other?


    Suddenly, her cold eyes swept towards the two of them. Pearl came to her senses and immediately grabbed the jade and followed Jin Weiwei.


    "..." "Master, as the saying goes, enemies should be solved, not tied ¡­"


    Before Jadeite could finish her sentence, Pearl knocked the back of her head, almost wanting to sew a needle into her mouth.

 C231

    Is this the time to say something like that?


    Didn''t you see how angry your master is?


    Seeing Jin Weiwei''s ugly expression, Jadeite was annoyed and covered his mouth thinking, did she offend Master?


    Jin Weiwei was extremely furious, she was slower by two steps, if he came up to coax her, she would forgive him.


    Who knew that Jadeite Jadeite would not be able to stop his foot, and struck Jin Weiwei''s back.


    "Aooo!"


    A muffled sound rang out, Jin Weiwei took two steps forward, and turned to see a terrified Emerald.


    "Master, master, this servant did not do it on purpose ¡­"


    Looking through the jade, Jin Weiwei saw that a certain someone did not even glance at her, unexpectedly heading towards the small courtyard that he had never lived in before.


    Anger rose in his heart. Good ¡­ Very good, let''s see who can make a ruckus with her!


    "You two, go down and pack up my clothes and jewelry. Right, call Tao Xiaoqing over."


    "Ah?" "Master, don''t you dare think too hard about it. It is just a matter of quarreling with the old master. If the old master were to leave, what will happen if he runs off with someone else?"


    Hearing that, Emerald became anxious, and even forgot his fear of bumping into Jin Weiwei.


    "If you say one more word, I''ll sell you out. Do you believe me?"


    Jin Weiwei could not help but roll his eyes. She, Jin Weiwei, had bought this mansion! He was the one who had to leave!


    Hearing this, Emerald immediately shut his mouth and was pulled away by Pearl who had an expression of disappointment on her face.


    All the way until night, Jin Weiwei did not see any trace of Little Rich Son, and despite her anger, she kept thinking, how did she offend Little Rich Son today? Little Rich Son was not a petty person.


    After thinking through everything that had happened today, Jin Weiwei could not find anything that offended Little Rich Son, so the only thing that could be done now was to blame Little Rich Son as his uncle!


    After eating a few mouthfuls, he heard Pearl say that Tao Xiaoqing was here.


    Jin Weiwei was furious, he could not continue eating and directly went to the front yard to see Tao Xiaoqing.


    "Xiaoqing."


    It was getting late in the night when Tao Xiaoqing was called over for dinner. He was thinking about something urgent, if not, his boss would not be in such a hurry.


    Hearing that, Tao Xiaoqing looked over, seeing Jin Weiwei''s ugly expression, Tao Xiaoqing''s heart dropped, could it be that something happened to the shop?


    "Boss, what happened?"


    Tao Xiaoqing panicked a little. Stunned, he came out of his deep thoughts and adjusted his expression.


    "It''s fine. Have you been familiar with being a storekeeper for the past few days?" Is there anyone in the audience who is unconvinced? Is it easy? "


    Hearing that, Tao Xiaoqing''s face became serious, and said: "Boss, you aren''t going to open me, are you?"


    "How could that be? You only need to answer my questions."


    Jin Weiwei revealed a faint smile. Seeing that, Tao Xiaoqing was relieved.


    "At the beginning, I was a bit flustered, but slowly, I began to feel that it wasn''t that difficult anymore."


    Jin Weiwei nodded her head, Tao Xiaoqing''s adaptability was good, she was a reliable person, she could rest assured that she would pass the Lishui County to him.


    I might have to go to the Ye City in two days, but I might not be able to come back often. I might be able to move the treasures, but I can''t move the shop, so I want you to be the shopkeeper of the Lishui County the biggest, and I want you to manage the shop in the Lishui County, including my residence.


    When she was angry at Little Rich Son on the horse carriage, her thoughts unknowingly drifted to this matter. She thought about it and still felt that Tao Xiaoqing was reliable.


    Hearing this, Tao Xiaoqing''s face was first filled with disbelief, and then, with a face full of bewilderment and joy, he finally fixed on the point where Jin Weiwei was about to leave.


    "Business is going well here, why is the boss leaving?"


    "My business here in Lishui County has no room for growth, so I wanted to take a look at the Ye City."


    "But boss, I''m afraid I can''t do it well as the head shopkeeper of this Lishui County ¡­"


    Tao Xiaoqing scratched his head and said unconfidently. Right now, Jin Weiwei''s business was considered big in Lishui County, accounting for a large half of the business in Lishui County.


    Although he said those words, the eagerness in Tao Xiaoqing''s eyes did not escape from his eyes.


    Eldest storekeeper always started from a small shopkeeper. I know that you will probably be very busy if you suddenly take over the responsibility of Eldest storekeeper. However, being a storekeeper of a shop and being a storekeeper of a place, the things that you can come into contact with and see are all different.


    Originally, she wanted Tao Xiaoqing to follow the merchant ship to travel, but after the plague incident, Tao Xiaoqing''s training was gone, and it caused her to lose a lot of money.


    This time, she wanted to go to the Ye City. For herself, it was a form of training, and it was also a form of training for Tao Xiaoqing.


    "Ok, boss. Since you trust this little one so much, this little one will do it."


    Thinking about what Jin Weiwei had said, Tao Xiaoqing agreed straightforwardly. He had thought that he would be a laborer for the rest of his life and everyone would look down on him, but now that his boss had given him the chance to dream, what reason did he have to not seize it?


    I''ll leave the matter of Lishui County to you. After I leave, you can move into this residence and properly take care of it for me. Tomorrow, I''ll draft a contract.


    "Ok, boss."


    Tao Xiaoqing left happily, but it was Jin Weiwei who sighed.


    F * ck you!


    was about to leave the Lishui County, and now he was making such a scene for her. It''s because she can''t give him warmth, right?


    "..."


    "Pearl, why do you think a man is angry?"


    After looking at the account book for a long time, she was in a daze, unable to read even a single word. Her entire mind was filled with Little Rich Son''s cold face that was like a block of ice, and she was about to die from annoyance!


    Pearl put down the embroidered shed in her hands and carefully looked at Jin Weiwei''s expression.


    "Mistress, when a man gets angry, he''s like a child, it''s fine to just coax him."


    She saw that the old master wasn''t usually the type to get angry easily, so maybe the master really did something too excessive and provoked the old master. However, she didn''t dare to say such things ¡­


    "Hush?"


    Jin Weiwei cried out. Was she not coaxing him on the carriage today?


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei''s expression was about to change, Pearl immediately said: "Master, it is possible that this man cared too much about this woman. Then, this woman unintentionally did something to make this man feel that she does not care about him, so he would be angry, or else ¡­ "It''s just a loss of face ¡­"


    The latter half of Pearl''s words had been completely ignored by her. If it was because she cared too much about Jin Weiwei, then she must have done something that made him jealous today?


    Thinking about it this way, Jin Weiwei was not angry, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.


    Seeing this, Pearl secretly patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had coaxed her mother a lot when she was young and now that she had the experience, she wouldn''t be angered by her master.


    "I remember that you guys made an iced mooncake a few days ago, right?"


    Jin Weiwei raised her eyebrows and asked. Ever since she had made these ice skin mooncakes, the servants in the house had fallen in love with these moon cakes.


    Pearl nodded quickly.

 C232

    "Then send some over, as well as some dishes. Say that the people in the big kitchen saw that Master didn''t eat at night, so they sent them here on purpose."


    Jin Weiwei wrinkled her nose. As the saying goes, lose by lowering your head first, and even if she had to lower it, it would not be too obvious. She did not believe that Little Rich Son would still be angry with her when she woke up tomorrow.


    Hearing this, Pearl''s face lit up. When they were eating, she had even asked if she should send some food to Little Meng, but in the end, she was scolded by her master, so she might even send some.


    "This servant will go now."


    Husband and wife need to love each other. If the two of them continue to clash, the ones who will be unlucky will still be their underlings.


    "..."


    From the moment Little Rich Son and the rest entered the small building in the center of the lake, their auras had been compressed to a minimum. For no other reason than the fact that their bodies were emitting a cold aura, anyone near them would be frozen to death.


    Mo Feng turned and said softly, "Aren''t you always the one who has the best idea? Why aren''t you going yet? "


    "¡­"


    Mo Ba didn''t even bother to roll his eyes.


    "prince is angry at Miss Kim, what can we men advise? "No wonder I said you don''t get it."


    Seeing that Mo Ba did not pay attention to him, Mo Feng poked him again, and said softly.


    Hearing that, Mo Feng smirked, and did not speak anymore. What did this reconciliation have to do with anything?


    "Mo Ba."


    Coincidentally, Little Rich Son who was reading in his room spoke out.


    The moment he opened his mouth, Mo Ba was moved.


    He didn''t want to die young ¡­


    "Se, prince."


    Mo Ba landed on the roof beam, knelt in front of Little Rich Son, and felt his heart tremble.


    Little Rich Son let out a light sigh, and did not speak further, nor did she look at him.


    "..." What did this mean?


    "prince... I think that Miss Kim does not know what you are angry about ¡­ "


    After being silent for a long time, Mo Ba felt that he should say something.


    Sure enough, after Mo Ba finished speaking, Little Rich Son turned around to look at him. The doubt in her eyes was clear as day: How can I be coaxed by her?


    Mo Ba rubbed his nose, he felt that it would be difficult to get the Miss Kim to come here to coax the prince.


    "Old master?"


    Coincidentally, the servant''s voice came from outside the door, it seemed to be the pearl beside Miss Kim.


    Mo Ba''s eyes lit up. Could he be wrong?


    Without waiting for Little Rich Son''s orders, Mo Ba immediately dashed out to open the door.


    "...!" You are Mo Ba? "


    Mo Ba had helped her during the plague, and because of the beard on her face, the pearl had a deep impression of him.


    Little Rich Son looked behind the pearl. After discovering that there was no one around, the aura around him became even colder.


    "That''s right, Miss Pearl, you''re here ¡­?"


    "Oh, right. This is the food from the big kitchen. I saw that Master did not come out to eat, so I sent it over tonight."


    With a smile on her face, she handed the box over to Mo Ba.


    Hearing that, Mo Ba frowned: "Could it be that Miss Kim did not call you here?"


    "Cough, cough ¡­" "Well, it''s hard to say. I''ll be leaving first."


    After leaving behind the suspense, Pearl left very quickly, as if she was afraid that Mo Ba would return the box to her.


    Mo Ba carried the food box in, and discovered that his prince''s face was even uglier than before.


    Gently placing the box on the table, Mo Ba wanted to speak, but he did not know what to say.


    "prince, you didn''t eat anything at night.


    "¡­"


    "..." It''s long past lunchtime, and I''ve long since decided to give away the pearl. From this, it can be seen that this isn''t the pearl''s intention. "


    Mo Ba rolled his eyes and guessed what Jin Weiwei was thinking.


    Little Rich Son put down the book in his hand, his expression seemingly becoming slightly warmer.


    Seeing that, Mo Ba took out the dishes from his food box enthusiastically, his mouth was saliva flowing out, he had not eaten yet.


    "Ouch!" The color of the cake is really nice, it smells good too. "


    This time, Little Rich Son''s gaze was really attracted over and took the plate of ice skin mooncakes from Mo Ba''s hands.


    Mo Ba was resentful, seeing his own prince''s expression, he tactfully remained silent.


    Little Rich Son, on the other hand, was immersed in his memories. Weiwei had personally made some of these mooncakes for his father. It was that day''s cake, and her tired look.


    Little Rich Son felt that his actions were going overboard and started to eat.


    Mo Ba was shocked, what kind of operation was this?


    He looked at prince and seemed very happy. Miss Kim captured prince with just a plate of mooncake?


    It was amazing.


    "..."


    Jin Weiwei stayed in bed for the most part of the night, but still did not see Little Rich Son come over.


    Damn it! A man''s heart was as hard to understand as a woman.


    Gulu...


    The man didn''t come, but she was hungry.


    Sitting up, Jin Weiwei decided to go find something to eat.


    Just as he touched the door, a black shadow suddenly fell through the window.


    "Oh my god! Thief ¡­ "Ugh!"


    Jin Weiwei was so scared that he slapped the man''s hands without caring about his life.


    "..." Weiwei. "


    Hearing the familiar voice, Jin Weiwei paused, and the person behind him released him.


    "Mistress?" "What''s wrong?"


    "I''m fine, I ran into a wild cat."


    Jin Weiwei was dazed and suddenly laughed.


    Wildcat...


    Little Rich Son''s face darkened.


    "What, you''re not angry?"


    Jin Weiwei approached Little Rich Son, smiling as he asked.


    When Little Rich Son came to find her in the middle of the night, it meant that she wanted to make up with her.


    "Yes."


    "Then what are you angry about today? Tell me? "


    Just as he finished speaking, Jin Weiwei was carried into his embrace, and the sound of his breath was getting closer and closer.


    "Why did you serve more food to Cheng Yu today?"


    Huh?


    Just because of this? It can''t be?


    Jin Weiwei immediately felt that it was funny. This person was angry with her for the entire afternoon just because of this trivial matter?


    "Is that what you''re angry about?"


    Hearing the laughter in Jin Weiwei''s words, he snorted.


    "Cough, cough ¡­" Today, I was talking about cooperation with Cheng Yu, and we just finished cooperating, and we already offended people. We don''t understand the rules, and if it gets serious, we might even cancel it, understand? "


    Hearing that, Little Rich Son''s frowning brows relaxed, it turned out that Jin Weiwei''s dishes were just a form of courtesy.


    "Aiyo, some people... "It''s really ¡­"


    "Hmm?"


    Seeing a certain someone''s eyes reveal a dangerous light, Jin Weiwei smiled, hugged his waist, and said: "You''re so silly and cute."


    Immediately, the coldness between Little Rich Son''s brows turned into gentleness and landed on Jin Weiwei''s body.


    "Ugh ¡­"


    Looking at his face that was just inches away from her, Jin Weiwei''s response was even gentler. Was it because he cared about her, or was it because he was happy in his heart?


    "..."


    The next day, the two of them opened the door together. Pearl Jadeite, who came to serve them, was shocked to the core.


    When did the master come to the master''s room? Why didn''t they notice?


    Looking at the smiling face of Jin Weiwei, Pearl was sure that the two of them had reached peace ¡­ "Hmm ¡­" It was settled.


    "Have you collected your things?"


    After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Jin Weiwei suddenly remembered to be angry the day before.


    "Yes."


    With Mo Ba and the others here, he did not need to make a move.


    "The old masters by your side took it?"


    Jin Weiwei asked again.


    "Yes."

 C233

    Sigh, how can that be, men can do the same as girls, I''m afraid that they can''t just casually pack Little Rich Son''s things, right?


    "Let me see your luggage."


    Little Rich Son nodded and brought Jin Weiwei to the courtyard.


    "..."


    At the edge of the river, there was a man in a wheelchair and a man standing. From afar, it looked like a painting of mountains and rivers, deep and slow.


    "Young master, there''s new news on Lishui County. It''s said that Cheng Yu and that Jin Weiwei are coming over here."


    Fu Qi muttered by Gongsun Hong''s side, as though he was afraid of destroying the extremely good concept.


    Hearing that, Gongsun Hong gently turned his head, and lightly laughed: "So what if you''re here, what are you making a fuss about."


    "But Young Master, they came here to do business."


    "Doing business? I remember that Cheng Yu has business at the Ye City, let''s take a look. "


    Saying that, Gongsun Hong acted as if he was not interested, he waved his long fingers towards the lake, and after a while, a group of fishes came over to snatch the food.


    "Has there been a conflict with your brother recently?"


    After an unknown period of time, Fu Qi felt an ice-cold expression on his face.


    Hearing that, Fu Qi''s face fell, and replied in a low voice: Yes.


    "Let''s find a chance to leak this information to him."


    Gongsun Hong smiled, his eyes looking far away, his father probably wanted all of them to die.


    "Yes."


    "..."


    After looking through Little Rich Son''s luggage, Jin Weiwei was a little surprised. She thought that Little Rich Son had stuffed everything randomly, but she did not expect that it was even more meticulous than her.


    "They''re used to it."


    Seemingly seeing through Jin Weiwei''s doubts, Little Rich Son softly explained.


    Jin Weiwei nodded his head, "Now I finally believe that there are no women left in your backyard."


    To be able to make a few men be so exquisite, it was impossible to reach this level without a few years of polishing.


    "You didn''t believe it before?"


    Hearing this, Little Rich Son frowned, extremely dissatisfied with Jin Weiwei''s disbelief.


    "Half believing. After all, it''s normal to have a few women serving a noble family member like you. However, isn''t a person like you a weirdo in the capital?"


    Jin Weiwei looked at Little Rich Son with gossipy eyes, but the happiness on his face was real.


    "What is a weirdo?"


    "It''s just that they''re not in the same group as the others."


    Jin Weiwei blinked his eyes and explained.


    Little Rich Son pursed his lips and thought for a moment before nodding. In the past when he attended banquets, there seemed to be a lot of people pointing at him from behind.


    "That''s true, that''s great."


    It was good, he had no other woman, it was good, he was clean.


    The men in his previous life had always thought that girls were unclean, but he himself was unclean as well. It was because of his obsession with cleanliness that she was almost 30 years old and had never had a single relationship with him.


    Seeing Jin Weiwei laughing, Little Rich Son also laughed along.


    "Oh yeah, I almost forgot something."


    Suddenly, Jin Weiwei smacked his head. How could she forget about her treasures?


    Hurriedly arriving at Jin''s Rice & Noodles Shop, she immediately saw Tao Xiaoqing ordering people to move the goods, the baskets after baskets, the white and red were the sausages that she was familiar with!


    "Xiaoqing, give me two large roots of this thing."


    Thinking about the taste of the sausage, Jin Weiwei started to drool. Once she reached Ye City, she would definitely be unable to make this sausage for a period of time.


    "Alright, boss."


    "That''s right, that''s right. Have those brothers of the Rice Noodle Roll to bring down that machine from the third floor. Be careful, don''t clatter on it!"


    "Third floor ¡­" "Okay, boss."


    Tao Xiaoqing frowned, he suddenly remembered that when he took over this place, the weird stuff on the third floor, from what his brothers said, it was a treasure from their owner, it should be this.


    "Right, did you sign the contract?"


    Jin Weiwei asked again, she had told the pearl to go to Cheng Yu early in the morning to help draft the contract, she did not know whether Tao Xiaoqing had received it or not.


    "I''ve signed it. Here, boss. Here''s your share."


    Jin Weiwei took the written agreement and looked at it. The flowing words on it made her envious, if only her calligraphy could have written it so well.


    "Well, hire three carriages, five ox-carts, and some people from the escort company."


    She thought that she didn''t have a lot of things to buy the day before, but what she didn''t expect was that just her and Little Rich Son''s clothes contained three big boxes, a case of jewelry, including one that she bought herself, and a present from Little Rich Son.


    There was no need to talk about other daily necessities. There were a total of ten boxes of random things, not to mention the fact that she still needed to transport these twenty machines. The number of cars she would hire would probably not be enough.


    "Madame Jin."


    Just as Jin Weiwei was engrossed in his thoughts, Cheng Yu''s voice came from afar.


    Little Rich Son raised his head, seeing Cheng Yu''s happy expression, he squinted his eyes and moved closer to Jin Weiwei.


    The sight of the huge convoy behind her was even more spectacular than her own.


    "Oh my god, Young Master Cheng, are you bringing your entire family to the Ye City?"


    That seemingly endless convoy made her worried that she would run into bandits on the road.


    "There are 10 empty cars here, and all of them are camels. They are much stronger than ox-carts. If you have anything you want to transport, hurry up and bring it up. We will leave the day after tomorrow."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei looked behind him, and sure enough, in this group of carriages, there were about 20 or so carriages that were carried by camels.


    "The day after tomorrow? You''ve arranged everything? "


    Jin Weiwei did not reject Cheng Yu''s suggestion. Firstly, the two of them were working together, and helping each other improved their relationship, and secondly, their teamwork was also guaranteed.


    "My father is in charge of both the merchant guild and the family. As for the Lishui County''s premises, my father has already made his plans. As for the rest, I have nothing to worry about."


    Jin Weiwei nodded his head. From the looks of it, Cheng Yu was more at ease than him.


    Seeing that there were many more smiles on Cheng Yu''s face, Jin Weiwei could not help but ask: "This time, I''m afraid you''ll be relieved, right?"


    Cheng Yu was startled, after understanding what Jin Weiwei meant, he nodded his head: "Yes, he is an elder, what else can I do."


    Only his father could control the Old Master. Although he could fight against the Old Master, he did not want to, because the Old Master was old, and he did not want to spend his last years fighting.


    "It''s good to leave."


    After saying this, the two looked at each other in silence.


    "..."


    "Mm, I''m leaving the day after tomorrow. How about we get together tomorrow?" You call your friend, and I call my friend. "


    After being silent for a while, Jin Weiwei was the first to speak up and break the silence. If she were to leave now, she might not return in the future.


    "That''s exactly what I was thinking."


    Cheng Yu grinned, as if the awkwardness from before did not exist.


    The two of them were like good friends for many years. Little Rich Son frowned slightly, and pulled Jin Weiwei''s hand so that he could look in his direction.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Nothing."


    Why did you hold her hand?


    Didn''t he always say that it was improper to do things in public?


    Cheng Yu laughed and shook his head. Sometimes, Jin Weiwei was as smart as a fox, but sometimes he was also as slow as a rabbit.

    In the early morning of the next day, Jin Weiwei sent someone to invite his aunt Jin Xiaoyan''s family. Originally, Jin Xiaoyan''s family wanted to come, but after hearing that Jin Weiwei was having dinner with Cheng Yu, they rejected him.


    When Jin Weiwei saw the basket of eggs and bacon, he had a complicated feeling and immediately got someone to return with a basket of sausages.


    Maybe the gift of eggs and cured meat seemed light in the eyes of outsiders, but Jin Weiwei knew that his aunt''s family wasn''t rich and he wasn''t worried about food or clothes, but a basket of eggs made her heart ache.


    However, what surprised her was that the relationship between her and her aunt''s family could only be considered neither good nor bad since her aunt had brought so many eggs with her.


    Other than Jin Xiaoyan''s family, Jin Weiwei also invited a family from Manager Qian.


    Jin Weiwei was a little disappointed, she realised that she did not have many people who were familiar with Lishui County, Wang Hai had thought of inviting them before, but since there were differences in terms of business, they probably would not come.


    When he arrived at the location that the two had agreed on yesterday, Jin Weiwei realized that Cheng Yu did not have many good friends either.


    There was another person that she was familiar with among them, and that was her cousin, Zheng Xue.


    "Cousin, long time no see."


    Ever since Zheng Xue entered the Academy, she had not seen Zheng Xue.


    "Cousin."


    Zheng Xue nodded at her, a faint smile on his lips, his expression neither intimate nor distant.


    Jin Weiwei was secretly speechless, as expected of a scholar, his posture was just right.


    Compared to Zheng Xue, Cheng Yu was even more amiable towards him.


    "Madame Jin, you''ve come. Please let me wait for a while, I have to punish myself with a cup later!"


    "Young Master Cheng, this is your mistake. What''s wrong with bullying a weak girl like me?"


    Jin Weiwei shook his head and laughed, the teasing tone also did not make Cheng Yu angry, but instead became even happier.


    Zheng Xue knew that the two of them had a close relationship, and did not display any expression of disgust towards these pleasantries in the market.


    This person was like a completely different person compared to the last time he saw him. Last time, he only felt that this person had become a bit colder, but this time, there was a hint of a domineering aura.


    Noticing Zheng Xue''s gaze, Little Rich Son looked at him with a slightly cold gaze.


    Zheng Xue was startled, realizing that he had been rude. After he nodded in apology, he retracted his gaze.


    This person... Interesting.


    Little Rich Son retracted the astonishment in his eyes. Very few people could make eye contact with him, and even naturally dissolve the awkwardness.


    Jin Weiwei raised his head and saw that there was only himself, Little Rich Son, Zheng Xue, Zheng Xue and his wife in Manager Qian there.


    "Tsk ¡­" It seemed like they were all the same kind of people with few friends.


    "Sister, we''ve come early. You''ve made us wait so long. Later, we must have a good drink together."


    Hearing that, the smile on Jin Weiwei''s face could not help but expand, she could not see it, she thought that Zhang Cui Hua had nothing more to say, but did not expect that she actually knew how to drink.


    "Alright, sister will definitely accompany sister in a while until she''s drunk."


    "Alright."


    Very quickly, the atmosphere at the table became lighter.


    Jin Weiwei had always been being urged to drink by Zhang Cuihua, so no matter how hard he drank, he could not resist.


    "Sister, give me another cup. After you leave, there will be no one to accompany me in Lishui County. I won''t be able to find such a good girl like you."


    Half of Zhang Cuihua''s body was hung on Jin Weiwei''s body, she was dizzy to the point that her tongue was already beginning to come out.


    Although Jin Weiwei was dizzy, he was still conscious.


    "You drank so much without alcohol ¡­"


    "No!" You must drink it! "


    Good, good, good ¡­" "Haargh!" "Eh?


    Just as Jin Weiwei was about to raise his wine cup, the wine cup was taken away by someone. Jin Weiwei turned to look, it was Little Rich Son.


    "Don''t drink it."


    Jin Weiwei''s cheeks were flushed red, as though he had put in two red apples. The most important thing was his blurry eyes, as if he was thinking of a small whirlpool in the middle of a spring that would make people unable to come out if they were to fall in.


    Little Rich Son pursed his lips, his eyes becoming darker and darker. Seeing that Zhang Cuihua was still constantly rubbing against him, his face suddenly turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, he ingeniously made Zhang Cui Hua fall towards his husband, the Manager Qian.


    "Jealous?"


    Jin Weiwei laughed, and went closer to ask.


    The faint fragrance mixed with the alcohol entered Little Rich Son''s nose, making his mind ripple.


    "Time to go back?" "Hmm?"


    Little Rich Son''s clear and deep voice sounded somewhat restless at the moment, but to Jin Weiwei''s ears, it seemed somewhat ethereal.


    "You''re so boring, eating even a woman''s vinegar."


    Gritting his teeth and thinking for a moment, he seemed to think that this Little Rich Son was a little cute, and actually kissed Little Rich Son and shrank back into his seat.


    Little Rich Son''s heart that had been suppressed started to become restless, and he drank three cups of wine in a row.


    Just now, Cheng Yu and Zheng Xue were toasting to each other. As he did not see this scene, Jin Weiwei recalled what happened that morning.


    "Cousin, my aunt gave me a basket of eggs today. Please go back and thank her on my behalf."


    Originally, Jin Weiwei wanted to go personally, but this way, she was a little afraid of scaring her aunt.


    "..." "Alright."


    Today was a farewell banquet, so everyone could not help but be presumptuous, Zheng Xue had drank a lot, and his face was flushed red.


    On the other hand, Cheng Yu patted Zheng Xue''s shoulders and laughed: "Your cousin is going to take the Ye City Assessment early next year."


    This was a tactful reminder, and Jin Weiwei suddenly realized that they needed her to take care of Zheng Xue while she''s at the Ye City.


    "Then I''ll congratulate you here, cousin. I wish you will pass the exam."


    In her heart, she knew that she had to put it on the surface. She knew that even scholars cared about face.


    "I heard that you want to go to the Ye City to do business. There''s no need for the Lishui County, the situation will become much more complicated. You should be careful."


    Zheng Xue was not as embarrassed as she thought. On the contrary, he was honest and tried to persuade her.


    She almost forgot, Zheng Xue and Cheng Yu were good friends, since Cheng Yu was willing to be his friend, then Zheng Xue must have something before.


    "Naturally."


    "..."


    By the time the banquet ended, it was already dark.


    "Can you carry me?"


    Jin Weiwei was already unconscious, and started to do some random things.


    For example, right now, he was already about to get on the carriage, but Jin Weiwei stood next to the carriage and looked at him with an extremely resentful expression.


    "Alright."


    However, Little Rich Son had no objections and immediately squatted down.


    Jin Weiwei laughed and pounced forward.


    "Do you know?"


    Jin Weiwei rubbed Little Rich Son''s neck as he comfortably whispered to himself.


    "What?"


    "I really like you. I really like that type."


    Raising his head from Little Rich Son''s neck, he approached Little Rich Son''s ears.


    Little Rich Son frowned, he shrunk back as the hot air by his ears tickled his heart.


    "I know."


    Little Rich Son chuckled, he seemed to be in a good mood.


    "You don''t know. It''s so cold every day. Other than me, who else can stand you? "

 C235

    Hearing this, Little Rich Son froze, his brows knitted as if he was thinking about something.


    "Am I cold?"


    "Yep, she''s cold to others, but not to me."


    As if he had thought of something, Jin Weiwei giggled and happily rubbed his hands on Little Rich Son''s body.


    "Yes, only for others."


    The corner of Little Rich Son''s mouth hooked up as he held Jin Weiwei''s hand tightly.


    "..."


    The next day, the two of them woke up early in the morning.


    Jin Weiwei held onto his aching head and retorted, "If I knew earlier, I wouldn''t have drank so much last night!"


    With that said, a bowl of soup appeared before her eyes. Jin Weiwei lifted his head and realized that Little Rich Son was looking at her with a cold expression.


    He took the soup awkwardly, and heard Little Rich Son say: "The carriage is about to leave."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei became even more embarrassed, this was Little Rich Son warning her that if there was a next time, it would not be like this.


    She didn''t want to either, but since she was leaving yesterday, Lishui County and the others couldn''t see her. It was hard to avoid feeling a little sad.


    Once he opened the door, Jin Weiwei went straight inside the house. When he looked at the door again, he saw that it was completely covered in snow.


    "Oh my god, it''s snowing. Look, even the sky is sad, so it''s not my fault."


    Jin Weiwei had wanted to tell Little Rich Son that it was not his fault alone, but who knew that after turning his head, he would fall into something warm and fluffy.


    Little Rich Son tidied up Jin Weiwei''s clothes and realized that he was wearing a fur cloak that Little Rich Son had gotten from who knows where.


    "Wow, did you go and rob? hubby? This cloak is very expensive. "


    "From Father."


    There was a trace of helplessness in her tone. Jin Weiwei stuck out her tongue and thought to herself, she''s very rich ¡­ Very rich... En, she still had the money she had just received from the government. That was the money from a manor. She couldn''t be so ignorant.


    Sigh ¡­ She felt that she could no longer change her petty tricks, despite having such an influential hubby.


    "..."


    "Master, I heard from Third Young Master that Cheng Yu and the rest of the Lishui County are here to do business."


    "Jin Weiwei? This old one remembers that she has a close relationship with Ji Jingzhi. "


    Gazing at the snowy scenery outside, the elderly figure turned around, his brows tightly knitted. It was unknown what he was thinking about.


    "Yeah, but according to the news in the capital, Ji Jingzhi is severely injured in bed ¡­"


    Steward Fu opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Gongsun Minzhi: "Could it be that we knew about it the moment Jin Weiwei entered the city?"


    The words were cut off, a trace of killing intent flashed past the old and murky eyes, Steward Fu lowered his head and tried to probe out Gongsun Minzhi''s intentions.


    "Master, you mean to say that other than Jin Weiwei, there''s still ¡­"


    "Mn, regardless of whether or not Ji Jingzhi is here, other than Jin Weiwei, he will definitely have some influence on him. This matter, will be left to you to handle."


    "..." "Yes."


    "..."


    Jin Weiwei, who was on her way, did not know how to deal with such a dangerous situation. Her heart was now entirely filled with how to develop her business at the Ye City, how to make use of her treasures to earn money ¡­


    "What are you thinking about?"


    Suddenly, someone''s voice sounded by his ear. Jin Weiwei regained his senses, only to see Little Rich Son using the handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth.


    Jin Weiwei''s face flushed red. She actually thought of money and started salivating, it was too embarrassing!


    "No, nothing ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei covered his face and did not dare to look at Little Rich Son.


    In this bone chilling weather, it was like an extremely fine hot spring that slowly flowed into Jin Weiwei''s heart, warm and shy.


    "What are you laughing at?"


    Jin Weiwei removed the hand that was covering his face, and looked down, only to see that the handkerchief in Little Rich Son''s hand did not have any traces of wetness, and only then did Jin Weiwei realize, he had been tricked.


    Raising his head, he met Little Rich Son''s clearly mocking gaze.


    "Alright, now that you''re bad at studying, you''re already teasing me!"


    Jin Weiwei became furious and immediately pounced towards Little Rich Son, wanting to tickle him. However, she was shackled in Little Rich Son''s embrace, unable to escape no matter how hard she tried to struggle.


    In the end, Jin Weiwei got tired from tormenting and directly found a comfortable place to lie down in in Little Rich Son''s embrace.


    "Weiwei, how about we get married?"


    After an unknown amount of time, Jin Weiwei was about to fall asleep under the bumpy ride of the carriage. Hearing Little Rich Son''s words, he did not feel sleepy anymore, he immediately got up and looked at Little Rich Son in surprise.


    "Haven''t we been married before?"


    Jin Weiwei was still a little confused. The color in Little Rich Son''s eyes deepened and the two of them pulled each other into his embrace, saying in a low voice, "That won''t count."


    In the past, he was the one who was waiting for Jin Weiwei to become stronger. Now, he did not want to wait any longer, especially after last night.


    "What do you mean ''don''t count''? Once it''s a marriage, it would be mine!"


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei was extremely angry, although the wedding was simple, the two of them had paid respects to the heavens and earth, how could it not be?


    Unexpectedly, Jin Weiwei had just finished speaking, and everything turned upside down. By the time she had reacted, she was already under Little Rich Son''s body.


    The pair of hot hands untied the straps of her outer garment without a trace of politeness and reached inside.


    Jin Weiwei was so scared that he grabbed onto Little Rich Son''s hand: "You, what are you doing?"


    "Weiwei, we are not married yet."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s face turned red, and facing Little Rich Son''s anxious eyes, his body felt weak.


    "This is a horse carriage, you can''t act recklessly!"


    Sensing that that hand was still continuing, Jin Weiwei''s heart rose to his throat. Did Little Rich Son have a stroke today?


    It made her panic, didn''t it?


    "When are we getting married?"


    Seeing Little Rich Son getting closer and closer to him with every word, Jin Weiwei''s heart was beating like a rabbit''s.


    Shameless... Shameless...


    How come she didn''t realize that Little Rich Son was such a person that was like a wolf or tiger in the past?


    "No, it can''t be so fast. The marriage hasn''t even been completed ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei''s voice became softer and softer as she bit her lower lip. Didn''t her words just now contradict what she had said?


    "Weiwei, you don''t want to be together with me?"


    Seeing that Little Rich Son''s eyes had become cold, Jin Weiwei''s heart was in a mess for no reason.


    Little Rich Son was not angry as she had expected, as she pulled him up and carried him in her arms.


    "Jin Weiwei, Ji Jingzhi really wants to marry you."


    Jin Weiwei opened his eyes wide, he was startled for a long time, but suddenly felt his nose sour, and hugged Little Rich Son instead.


    "I''ve been waiting for you to say this for a long time."


    With that said, Jin Weiwei''s eyes started to tear up. She did not mind with regards to this matter, she just did not know what Little Rich Son meant.


    After recovering her identity, although Little Rich Son stayed by her side the entire time, his attitude was unclear. She was also accustomed to seeing how many men gave up their wives and children after having money, which scared her to death. Otherwise, she would have already made her move on Little Rich Son.


    Little Rich Son''s ice-cold eyes instantly melted and seemed to slowly flow into a warm current, slowly congealing into two flickering flames.


    "I''m sorry."

 C236

    He should have told Weiwei earlier.


    Jin Weiwei, who was in her embrace, had a sore throat and was unable to say a word, but inexplicably, she felt that she was being extremely unreasonable.


    "I will return to the capital to report this matter to my father."


    His chest faintly felt moist, accompanied by a faint twitch of the person in his embrace. A sour and astringent feeling slowly assaulted his heart, causing him to feel rather uncomfortable.


    "Not so good now, is it? Isn''t there something going on in the imperial court? "


    Jin Weiwei sniffed, and rubbed his nose in Little Rich Son''s embrace.


    Jin Weiwei''s reminder made Little Rich Son think of something bad. The marriage bestowed to him by the emperor had not been resolved yet.


    "It''s fine."


    Little Rich Son squinted, it seemed that there were some things that could not be dragged out.


    "..." "Then I''ll wait for your good news."


    Jin Weiwei was slightly hesitant, but when she thought about Little Rich Son''s hopeful tone, her heart uncontrollably softened.


    "Yes."


    "..."


    After journeying for three days, Jin Weiwei had nearly fallen apart due to the bumpy journey.


    "Almost there."


    Little Rich Son consoled as he took out a pill from the medicine bottle and stuffed it into Jin Weiwei''s mouth.


    Jin Weiwei smacked her lips, her face was pale. She would never have dreamed that she would faint from sitting on a horse carriage, her mouth was so sore that she could not even taste what she was saying.


    The last two days in the carriage had been too much for her.


    "Almost there. That''s great."


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up for a moment before dimming, her chest started to churn, thinking that she was going to the capital, and the distance between the capital and Ye City was even further, she felt that life was hopeless.


    Little Rich Son continued to stroke Jin Weiwei''s back, frowning deeply, he had looked for a doctor to follow him along the road, but the results were not good, and Jin Weiwei continued to travel, she felt that she was suffering from a sickness caused by the soil and soil, and that if she were to take good care of herself, she would not have to cause so many people to be delayed because of her alone.


    It couldn''t be helped. Little Rich Son protected her along the way, afraid that something was wrong, but in the end it was useless. Jin Weiwei continued to vomit until the sky turned dark.


    "Ah!"


    Suddenly, the carriage that was walking forward trembled twice, and stopped, followed by the terrified screams of the maids and attendant, and the clatter of weapons clashing.


    A thick smell of blood came out. Jin Weiwei''s mind that was filled with blood turned into filth in an instant, and all of it poured out from his mouth.


    Little Rich Son''s ears moved, his face turned ugly, and in the next second he turned into a shadow and rushed out.


    Outside, the floor was filled with the corpses of attendant maids and bodyguards. Blood kept flowing out from the wounds on their bodies, and there were some remaining bodyguards resisting the sudden appearance of the black clothed people.


    Waving his hands, a few shadows appeared not long after, bringing with them an ice-cold killing intent as they rushed towards those men in black.


    Cheng Yu ran over under the protection of the guards. He had seen a big scene before, and he had also seen bandits that had rushed out halfway. However, he had never seen such a strong killing intent before.


    "How is Madame Jin?"


    After waiting on the carriage for a while, he finally understood that these people were going for one of the either Jin Weiwei or Jin Weiwei.


    "She''s fine."


    Little Rich Son perked up, hearing the sounds coming from the carriage, he felt as if a stone had dropped from his heart.


    "So ¡­!" I''m relieved too. "


    His nose was filled with a fishy stench that made Cheng Yu uncomfortable. Lifting his eyes, he saw that the few people who wanted to kill them had obtained the upper hand, and the people who wanted to kill them could not get close.


    If he had not felt that everyone was running towards Jin Weiwei''s carriage, he would not have dared to alight. This time, when he saw Little Rich Son calmly watching the battle between the two groups, he was even more sure in his heart that Little Rich Son was not a simple person.


    "What happened?"


    Jin Weiwei heard that it was quiet outside, but Little Rich Son did not come back for a long time.


    Suddenly, a wave of coldness assaulted him, causing his vision to dim. He raised his head, and couldn''t help but break out in cold sweat.


    An arrow that was only a fist''s distance away from her was tightly grasped in Little Rich Son''s hand.


    Jin Weiwei trembled, grabbing onto the clothes on Little Rich Son''s back, he could not suppress the fear in his heart.


    "This!" "What''s going on?"


    "Be careful!"


    With that said, Little Rich Son carried Jin Weiwei and entered the carriage, following that, Jin Weiwei heard a sharp arrow piercing through wood, it was extremely ear-piercing.


    Not long later, the sound disappeared. Jin Weiwei raised his head and saw an arrow pierced into his arm.


    "hubby!"


    Jin Weiwei was so frightened that he immediately crawled up, and was about to touch the arrow on Little Rich Son''s arm.


    "Don''t touch it, it''s poisonous."


    Little Rich Son immediately moved his arm away, and not long later, his forehead was already covered in cold sweat.


    "Don''t move, I''ll pull it out for you."


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes were red, if he did not pull out the poison arrow, Little Rich Son would die even faster.


    "No!"


    Little Rich Son''s attitude was tough, but he had lost all his strength, so he could not beat Jin Weiwei.


    Seeing that the surroundings of the wound had already started to turn black and continuously spread, Jin Weiwei''s heart almost jumped to his throat.


    "prince, the people outside have been cleaned up."


    "Mo Ba?"


    Jin Weiwei was a little unsure, but the dizziness in her mind made it difficult for her to see clearly.


    "..." "Yes, madam can ¡­"


    "I''m going to say it now. Remember, no matter what you see or what happens later, you must pretend not to see it. Have someone surround this carriage and don''t let anyone near it!"


    Before Mo Ba could even finish his words, he was interrupted by Jin Weiwei. His words were filled with a sonorous aura, causing Mo Ba to feel that his aura was not any weaker than the princess.


    "Is prince injured?"


    Hearing Jin Weiwei''s words, Mo Ba felt that something was amiss, Mo Feng who was kneeling behind him immediately had a change in expression, this idiot, these words were obviously the result of prince''s severe injuries!


    "¡­"


    However, the carriage did not make any sound, just when Mo Ba could not help but want to investigate, the carriage suddenly flashed with a glaring light.


    Everyone were startled, Mo Feng quickly lifted the carriage''s curtain, it was too late for Mo Ba to stop them, but what surprised everyone was that there was no one inside!


    Mo Ba swallowed his saliva, he seemed to have realized something, this woman was definitely an immortal!


    Last time, it was just like this, disappearing into thin air and appearing out of thin air ¡­


    "Mo Ba, the prince is gone!"


    In comparison to Mo Ba, Mo Feng was evidently quite frightened, as his face turned green and the color of his eyes became cold.


    "Quick, quick, surround the carriage and don''t let anyone near! "Quick."


    Mo Ba who had reacted to the situation suddenly became excited, he frowned and wanted to say something, but saw Mo Ba approaching him: "Don''t disturb Madame Jin in treating prince''s injuries."


    Seeing Mo Ba being so serious, Mo Feng was unable to calm himself down. Could it be that there was some trick to it?


    "..."


    Jin Weiwei then dragged Little Rich Son into the space, and the Agate that he had not seen for a long time suddenly scuttled over, and looked at her with eyes that seemed to be able to light up.

 C237

    Jin Weiwei did not have time to pay attention to the agate, he could only drag Little Rich Son and walk towards the lakewater.


    Who knew that the agate would come up and drag Little Rich Son away, and not long after, Little Rich Son was thrown into the lakewater.


    Only now did Jin Weiwei realize that the agate had grown up quite a bit, was already as big as a puppy.


    After being surprised at how the agate could have such huge strength, Jin Weiwei immediately went to pull Little Rich Son. The agate''s attack was neither light nor heavy, if she didn''t pull him, Little Rich Son would have drowned even if he had not been poisoned to death.


    The agate ran over to Jin Weiwei''s side and circled around him twice, looking at Jin Weiwei ingratiatingly.


    "Howl!" "Howl!"


    Jin Weiwei could tell that this was a joyous cry, and immediately felt helpless. It had been a long time since she last entered the space, no wonder the Agate was acting this way.


    "Agate, be good. I''m saving someone."


    "Howl ¡­"


    The agate cried out in grievance, and lay down by Jin Weiwei''s side, not daring to move.


    Jin Weiwei''s bright and beautiful eyes nervously looked at the black wound on Little Rich Son''s arm. Watching the black wound slowly fade, she also heaved a sigh of relief.


    She was afraid that the water in the dimensional realm would not be able to save Little Rich Son.


    When Little Rich Son''s wound became the normal tender red, Jin Weiwei''s taut nerves finally relaxed. In the end, he dragged Little Rich Son out of the water and took off his clothes.


    Woo woo.


    At this time, the call of an Agate once again came from the side. Jin Weiwei turned his head to look and discovered that there were quite a few big red flowers that looked like chicken crowns beside his feet.


    Cockscomb Flower!


    Jin Weiwei''s pupils shrank, this was a good medicine to stop the bleeding. When Jin Weiwei picked up the medicine, she discovered that there was a grass with leaves that were round and unknown, it should also be an herb right?


    "Do you want me to break it for him?"


    The agate nodded and continuously pushed her hand towards Little Rich Son''s wound.


    There was no time to figure out where these things came from, so Jin Weiwei could only chew on them, and place it on his wound little by little.


    When she was done, Jin Weiwei frowned, she would take Little Rich Son out and take the medicine right?


    Gritting his teeth, Jin Weiwei took out a piece of cloth from his clothing and tied it up.


    At this time, Jin Weiwei collapsed onto the ground, his vision blurry.


    If she wasn''t worried about Little Rich Son, just the days of vomiting she vomited would have been long over.


    With that thought, Jin Weiwei stood up, held onto her chest, and her eyes lit up. That disgusting feeling was actually gone, and she had become a lot more spirited.


    "Agate ¡­!"


    Jin Weiwei cried out. When he realized that there was no movement, he stood up to take a look. His pupils were contracted uncontrollably as he opened his mouth wide to the point that it could fit a chicken egg.


    This... This... Was this still her space?


    The scene in front of him was a cluster of flowers. The green leaves and flowers were clustered together. The battle was extremely lively.


    In the distance, there were two more trees. Furthermore, Jin Weiwei realized that the space had expanded to twice the size of what it was before, and there was even a small mountain in the distance!


    Her space leveled up!


    But how did he level up?


    Jin Weiwei was stupefied. In the end, when he saw the Agate that was jumping up and down, he held his head and thought about it.


    Ever since she had discovered this little thing, strange things had always happened in her space. Could it be that this little thing had something to do with the space upgrade?


    "Ugh ¡­"


    A pained groan entered Jin Weiwei''s ears, pulling him back to his senses. Damn it! How could she have forgotten about Little Rich Son?


    However, there was a quarrel in the outer room.


    Mo Feng looked at Mo Ba coldly: "prince isn''t here. We should search around nearby and not wait foolishly!"


    After waiting for a long time, he suddenly felt that he was a fool, he actually believed Mo Ba''s words! prince was here, he lifted the curtain and confirmed that there was no one around, and Mo Feng was so angry that he wanted to slap him.


    Mo Ba gritted his teeth: "Really, Miss Kim is a goddess. She can definitely cure prince! "If you leave, you will regret it!"


    F * ck! How the hell did he explain it that this idiot would believe him?


    "Humph, all of you who don''t want prince to die, follow me."


    The guards at the scene all looked at each other. Usually, Mo Ba was the one in charge of them, and the two of them were not even of the same rank.


    "If you want to leave, then leave!" It''s out! "


    Mo Ba felt that Mo Feng was extremely annoyed. He needed to leave quickly as he spoke so much trash like a woman.


    With that said, Mo Ba released another ray of light from the carriage, and after a while, Jin Weiwei opened the curtain.


    "How long is Ye City here for?"


    Everyone widened their eyes. How did this girl appear?


    Mo Ba''s face was full of excitement. He said the Miss Kim was a goddess!


    "One hour!"


    "Use the fastest speed to get to the city. Leave two people to guard the things behind. We''ll talk about the rest after we reach the capital!"


    Jin Weiwei instructed anxiously, he did not have time to care about everyone''s shocked gazes.


    "Alright."


    "You, you, you two stay behind and watch the convoy. Bring out those who are still alive, if you can use them, then use them. If anything goes wrong with the convoy, you don''t need to mix in with them!"


    Hearing Jin Weiwei''s words, Mo Ba knew that the prince should be fine, so he leisurely ordered the two hidden guards closest to him.


    Mo Feng frowned, he directly lifted the curtain and saw Jin Weiwei covering the naked Little Rich Son with a blanket.


    "What did you do to the prince?"


    Seeing Little Rich Son''s pale lips, Mo Feng''s face changed.


    When Mo Ba saw this, he almost pulled down his beard. Normally, Mo Feng would look like he knew how to react, but why did he seem like he was blind now?


    "It''s alright, please continue taking care of prince, his brain got stuck in the door!"


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei''s expression was strange, Mo Ba pulled Mo Feng into his embrace, locking him in place, he smiled at Jin Weiwei fawningly.


    Jin Weiwei nodded. It looks like Little Rich Son''s guards weren''t very satisfied with her.


    "Let''s hurry!" Mo Feng, let me tell you, now isn''t the time to be stubborn, and we can''t see prince being injured. If something really happens, our Prince will skin us alive, believe it or not! "


    "Humph!"


    Mo Feng pushed Mo Ba''s hand away from his mouth and snappily glanced at him, then walked to the side, in the end he did not make a move.


    "..."


    When they rushed to the Ye City, it was already dark. Jin Weiwei had actually wanted to send someone to get a room with him.


    "No, ma''am, we have our own house."


    Jin Weiwei was shocked by Mo Ba''s words. She turned around and thought about the status of her hubby; as her hubby was her prince, it was normal for her to have her own house in the Ye City.


    "Madame Jin, my Young Master said that the Old Master of your house is injured, my Young Master has set up a house in the Ye City, Madame can come over to stay for a while."


    Coincidentally, Cheng Yu''s men also came over, when they saw Mo Ba''s group, they were respectful and fearful, he had seen the way these people killed people before, and it was all thanks to them that he and Young Master were able to survive, and not get shot through like a sieve by the arrow.

 C238

    "There''s no need. There''s a house in the Ye City."


    Jin Weiwei gave a gentle smile, and his slightly narrowed eyes seemed to emit a little starlight, as though they were faintly discernible.


    "In that case, this humble servant will return to report to Young Master."


    The attendant smiled politely, turned and left.


    Seeing Cheng Yu''s carriage leaving in another direction, Jin Weiwei then looked at Mo Ba.


    "Please lead the way."


    Mo Ba scratched his head in embarrassment, he had never seen a noble family that was so polite to a servant, it was really embarrassing.


    "Madam, there is no need to be so polite."


    With that said, Mo Ba went to sit on the wooden carriage with a red face.


    Mo Feng glanced at him sinisterly, turned his head, and his face became even darker.


    "..."


    The manor wasn''t far from where they were currently staying. In just an hour''s time, they had arrived.


    Jin Weiwei lifted the curtains and was extremely surprised to see such a huge mansion. She thought it was a small courtyard.


    After he got off the carriage, he saw the eye-catching golden word on the majestic door. The astonishment in his heart was replaced with shock.


    This was ancient times, so no matter how high a woman''s position was, she could not surpass her husband. If the name of the house was hers, then it meant that the man in the house was an inverted door, or perhaps, his position was not high. No matter what, people would look down on him, not to mention Little Rich Son who was from the Royal Family.


    Jin Weiwei''s heart suddenly felt sour, and he felt happy. The words on the plaque seemed to be gold, indicating that Little Rich Son had just signed off, could it be that Little Rich Son had disappeared for a period of time to do all these things?


    He sent someone to carry Little Rich Son in, all the way until he reached a beautiful courtyard.


    Returning to the Garden.


    Good Name...


    Jin Weiwei''s face suddenly turned red.


    "..."


    In less than two days, the news that the Regent and the Emperor were coming to the Crown Prince to choose their pens was spread.


    It was not the first time that the Emperor had come to the Crown Prince to pick an official. However, there was another piece of news, and that was that the Regent had picked some students to fill in the gaps in their positions.


    However, even if he were to become a seventh grade expert in the Imperial Court, it would still be extremely good. To be able to appear before the Emperor and the Regent often, how could he possibly not have a chance to advance?


    Furthermore, the method he had chosen was to take the exam. As a result, the teacher who was too busy to watch the country not only had to prepare for the exam, but he also had to set a question. It could be said that he was in dire straits.


    As for the students, they seemed to be on stimulants, mustering all their strength to make the emperor and the Regent set their eyes on them, because the examiners this time were the emperor and the Regent, as well as the Minister of Public Administration.


    "Brother Shen, what confidence do you have this time?"


    Shen Che''s slightly feminine face was still empty, it was only when a classmate called him that he regained his senses.


    "This time, it''s hard to say. I see that Brother Li is somewhat more confident."


    Shen Che was born in a Humble Class, but he got along really well with the students of the National Overseer. Furthermore, he was extremely knowledgeable, even the teachers liked Shen Che a lot.


    "Brother Chen, you''re flattering me. In this country''s crown prince, who doesn''t know of your knowledge?"


    A dark light flashed across Shen Che''s eyes, and with a bit of calculation passed by, he revealed a faint smile: "The people who are taking the test are the emperor, Regent, and other important officials of the imperial court. Shen Che is afraid that at that time, he would be too nervous to even answer the question, so it''s hard to say."


    Hearing that, the person that Shen Che called Brother Li had a disdainful look on his face. As expected, he came from a Humble Class and was a trash.


    His father was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry and his knowledge was not bad. He would definitely be able to pass the examination this time.


    "Brother Shen is too modest. I still have some matters to attend to, so I''ll be leaving now."


    Shen Che nodded and smiled as he watched him leave, but after the figure disappeared, his face was covered in dark clouds, and his jaw was tight with unwillingness.


    He knew! These people all looked down on him!


    Wait! The day he stepped forward was the day these people would suffer!


    "..."


    The person on the bed frowned and then slowly opened his eyes. What entered his eyes was the unfamiliar carved roof of the Black Sieve Sect.


    His eyes turned cold, but his wrist felt heavy and numb.


    Turning around, he saw the girl''s smooth and exquisite forehead, as well as the slight crease on her forehead. Her lips were pursed tightly as her hands tightly embraced his wrist. Her long and slender eyelashes constantly trembled, as if she was worried about something.


    Turning his wrist, Little Rich Son realized that he couldn''t pull it out at all, causing him to wake up the person who was frowning deeply.


    "You''re awake? Hungry? I had the Pearl Jadeite and the others prepare porridge. "


    Seeing that Little Rich Son had woken up, the worry that had been in his heart for the whole night finally disappeared.


    The corner of Jin Weiwei''s mouth split open, revealing dimples, and her tiredness couldn''t hide her happiness.


    Little Rich Son found it a little eye-catching, grabbed her wrist and shook his head: "I won''t eat, come up."


    "Ah?" How could he not eat? You haven''t eaten since yesterday afternoon, you must be starving. "


    "It''s fine."


    After he finished speaking, he took the opportunity to pull Jin Weiwei into his embrace.


    Jin Weiwei did not expect the person who was injured to be so strong, so much so that half of her body, which she had not been on guard against, fell into Little Rich Son''s embrace.


    As if he was involved in the wound, Little Rich Son''s brows twitched for a bit, but recovered his composure when he raised his head.


    "Sleep with me for a while."


    Her black bags were almost as big as her eyes. It was obvious that she hadn''t slept well last night.


    Jin Weiwei could not help but yawn. He was about to retort when he saw Little Rich Son move aside and lie down.


    "Alright, I''ll sleep with you for a while."


    Seeing that the sky was not completely lit up yet, Jin Weiwei was sleepy and laid down beside Little Rich Son.


    "You have to call me if you need anything."


    laughed as he leaned and hugged Little Rich Son''s arm.


    Little Rich Son endured the pain in her arm and nodded. She was too tired and needed to rest.


    When Jin Weiwei woke up, it was already late in the morning, there was no one by her side, and looking at the sky, Jin Weiwei estimated the time, it should be time to eat lunch right?


    Thinking about it this way, Jin Weiwei''s stomach started rumbling.


    Rubbing his stomach, Jin Weiwei shouted towards the outside, "Pearl Jadeite?"


    "Mistress."


    Hearing the sound, the two girls hurriedly ran in.


    "Is Mistress going to wash up?"


    "Where is the old master?"


    After asking, the two little girls looked at each other and shook their heads.


    "Didn''t you see him this morning?"


    The injured are still running around! Bold him!


    They shook their heads again.


    Jin Weiwei gnashed his teeth, and sighed: "Come and comb my hair, let''s talk about other things."


    With so many powerful guards by her side, she would definitely not encounter any danger. Even if there was, there wouldn''t be much of a problem. However, why was she so worried?


    Damn man!


    After eating breakfast, Jin Weiwei sat in the pavilion in the yard in a daze. From time to time, his eyes turned towards the door.


    Just as Jin Weiwei was about to doze off, Little Rich Son returned.


    Seeing that the kitten in front of him was holding its head up bit by bit, Little Rich Son could not help but reveal a smile as he walked forward and gently hugged Jin Weiwei.

 C239

    The drowsy Jin Weiwei landed in Little Rich Son''s embrace.


    The sudden weight pulled on Little Rich Son''s wound, causing him to frown, and pick up Jin Weiwei.


    Mo Feng, who was at the end of his sentence, hesitated, but his dissatisfaction with Jin Weiwei increased by another two points.


    prince was still injured.


    Didn''t Mo Ba say that this woman was a goddess? Then why was the healing of the prince so slow?


    "..." hubby. "


    It was probably because of the bumpiness, that Jin Weiwei suddenly woke up from his shock and immediately jumped down from Little Rich Son''s embrace. Seeing that his shoulder was covered in blood, Jin Weiwei''s face darkened.


    "Sit down!"


    After forcefully pressing him onto the stool, he took off Little Rich Son''s clothes without saying anything further. Cold sweat appeared on Little Rich Son''s forehead, but the corners of his mouth were smiling.


    When Mo Feng and the others saw it, they unconsciously felt goosebumps all over their bodies. When did prince laugh like that? It was too scary.


    "What are you doing, disappear!"


    Seeing that Mo Feng was becoming more and more blind, Mo Ba could not help but sigh, had he become stupid?


    Mo Feng frowned, and got up and left with Mo Ba. In this situation, it didn''t seem like a good idea to disturb him.


    Jin Weiwei took off Little Rich Son''s clothes, revealing her strong and sturdy chest, only then did she feel that she had done something improper, causing her face to instantly flush red.


    He looked around and saw that there was no one around.


    The moment she turned her head, she fell into Little Rich Son''s eyes which carried a trace of mischief and other meanings. Like a spring water, she couldn''t help but feel waves after waves of ripples in her calm heart.


    Her eyes moved to her wound, and her blushing face instantly turned to one of annoyance.


    "Ji Jingzhi, you''ve become more capable, you dare to run outside after being injured like this!"


    Hearing her scolding, Little Rich Son did not feel angry, but instead found it very pleasant to listen to. He had never known that his name was actually so pleasant to listen to.


    Seeing him still laughing, Jin Weiwei became even more furious, if he was not injured, she would really punch him twice.


    "If you do this again next time, I''ll ignore you!"


    Jin Weiwei sniffled. Thinking of the danger he had faced yesterday, Jin Weiwei felt both scared and wronged.


    At that time, she was so scared that she died, thinking that Little Rich Son was really going to die, that she was going to be widowed.


    "Your husband won''t do it next time, this is for you."


    The corner of Little Rich Son''s mouth held a faint ridiculing smile, and he stuffed a box into Jin Weiwei''s arms.


    Jin Weiwei did not even look at her as he turned and entered the room.


    Seeing that, Little Rich Son frowned, her heart suddenly had a tinge of panic, was she angry?


    Little Rich Son stood up, planning to enter the house to look for Jin Weiwei. But who knew that she would come out with ¡­ Floral grass? There was still a glass of water?


    Just when Little Rich Son was curious, he saw Jin Weiwei holding onto the flowers and plants in the medicine jar that he had pulled out at an unknown time, and looking at him with a strange expression. Very ugly.


    "Endure it. It''ll hurt later."


    Jin Weiwei snorted, but her movements were very gentle as she scrubbed Little Rich Son''s body. She couldn''t find any alcohol here, and even if there was, Little Rich Son''s wound was too deep, it would be very painful.


    So, last night she went into space and got a bowl of water and herbs. This water can cure people, so it shouldn''t hurt even if she touched the wound, right?


    When the pure white handkerchief touched the water on Little Rich Son''s arm, it instantly turned red.


    Little Rich Son frowned, but before long he relaxed and lowered his head to look at the side of Jin Weiwei''s face.


    This should be the water from her alternate dimension. At first it was very painful, but later it became comfortable.


    After washing up, Jin Weiwei placed the medicinal herbs that he mashed onto his wounds and wrapped them up. When Jin Weiwei lifted his head, he discovered that someone was staring at her with shining eyes.


    Glancing down at the two dark red fruits that were exposed to her eyes, Jin Weiwei tilted his head.


    The atmosphere was too hot. Should she get up?


    Ah!


    A sudden surge of strength came from her waist, and the two fruits in front of her eyes grew infinitely larger, finally turning into darkness.


    "Your wounds!"


    Jin Weiwei raised his head, and realized that even though he was sitting on her lap, she was still taller than her by half a head, and held the advantage.


    The heat from his palms touched Jin Weiwei''s sensitive areas through his thick clothes, and then moved forward.


    "Weiwei..."


    His heart suddenly trembled, Jin Weiwei''s blushing face showed a serious expression: "Ji Jingzhi, let me tell you, you are still injured, if you dare to mess around, you can give it a try!"


    Who knew that the person who was embracing her would laugh softly, then hug Jin Weiwei and softly say, "Weiwei, I''m cold."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s face flushed red, she must be overthinking things!


    He frantically put on Little Rich Son''s clothes, looked at the corner of his mouth raised, and suddenly had a bad idea.


    Why would he do such an ambiguous action if he didn''t have that intention!


    Humph! Let''s see how she''ll deal with him!


    After tying up the belt on his clothes, Jin Weiwei did not even need to raise his head to know that Little Rich Son was looking at him with shining eyes.


    The corner of his mouth raised into a wicked smile. The instant he raised his head, he kissed the corner of someone''s mouth, and then, with an extremely fast speed, he opened up a distance between the two of them and sat opposite to Little Rich Son.


    Little Rich Son was startled for a moment, and when he realized it, the person in his embrace had already left, and was sitting in front of him with a serious expression.


    Even his heart was taken away.


    "Weiwei..."


    He felt like there was a fire burning in his heart. The things that he had suppressed for so long had already been pulled out from the ground, and the people who had poured oil on the fire had already pulled out of his body.


    "What is this?"


    Jin Weiwei was originally feeling rather embarrassed, but when he opened the box, his eyes saw the land deeds in the shop light up, and all his embarrassment was thrown to the back of his mind.


    Little Rich Son frowned, the restlessness in his heart was getting more and more impatient.


    "Shop, you do business."


    "You went out in the morning to do this sort of thing?"


    Jin Weiwei didn''t know whether he should laugh or cry, but he knew that there was a warm feeling flowing in his heart.


    "Yes."


    That way she wouldn''t be too busy.


    "I''ll help you go back and rest. If you run out in the next two days despite your injuries, try it!"


    As he finished speaking, Jin Weiwei''s face darkened as she stared at him sinisterly.


    He nodded, his throat slid twice, and retracted his gaze. Today, his arm was injured, which might cause Weiwei to be unhappy.


    After settling Little Rich Son down, she had to go take a look at the shop he made in the afternoon.


    "..."


    "Master... Madame, this is the place. The address is correct. "


    Pearl thought for a moment and decided to change her words. Madam''s relationship with Master was different from before. In the past, when she saw that Madam treated Master well, there were some things that kept him at arm''s length.


    This morning, the old master had bought a few stores for his wife. However, she did not reject them. Instead, she arranged for his presence before coming out.


    Jin Weiwei did not reject the name of the pearl. Yes, it felt very high.


    "Let''s go in and take a look."


    Jin Weiwei sized up the shop. It was basically the same size as the Rice Noodle Roll she bought at Lishui County, which was also a three story building. It seemed that there was a courtyard in the back.


    Jin Weiwei was extremely satisfied when he went in. This small building looked small on the outside, but the space inside was almost the same as a restaurant.

 C240

    It seemed that Little Rich Son understood her intentions quite well, and took her on a tour around the backyard. She was even more satisfied, Little Rich Son was like a worm in her stomach, she had already depicted all of the shops she wanted.


    "Pearls, find someone to clean up the first floor. Just like Lishui County''s Rice Noodle Market, the second floor will empty out everything in each room. Two rooms will be used as one room and the third floor will be used as a warehouse."


    Seeing the exquisite and low profile rooms, Jin Weiwei felt that he had let down the exquisite rooms without using any of them.


    While looking at it, Jin Weiwei suddenly remembered that in her previous life, the first and second floor all sold different kinds of things. She thought that it would be better to sell the rice noodles and meat together, the second floor could help out some small vendors, and also help her collect the rent.


    And her oil, her machine! I can''t let it go for nothing!


    Thinking about it, Jin Weiwei became excited, he wanted to move the machine in right now.


    "Madam, there are two more shops. Would you like to take a look?"


    Pearl took one of the deeds and saw the deeds of the two shops.


    "Let''s go take a look."


    Jin Weiwei withdrew her gaze from the small building. She also wanted to see what the other two stores were doing, she could not let them go for free.


    The whole morning was spent in three shops. Apart from the first one, the second one was a very big place with no yard and very few people passing by. She saw that it was originally a warehouse and she could also use it as a warehouse.


    The third shop was smaller than the first two. It had a small yard and could be used as an oil workshop.


    When she finished browsing through it and thought it through, Jin Weiwei could not help but laugh. She did not believe that this was all a coincidence.


    Passing through the most bustling street on the east side of Ye City, Jin Weiwei pulled open the curtain and looked at the bustling market. Little Rich Son must have spent a lot of silver coins to buy it, because the big shop she saw was right in the middle of the street.


    There were constant sounds of hawking by his ear, and occasionally sounds of bargaining could be heard. Looking ahead, it was as if flowers were blooming, people were gathering, all kinds of scents mixed together, and without leaving a trace, entered Jin Weiwei''s nose.


    Jin Weiwei could not help but take a deep breath. An extremely satisfied look appeared on her face, what she smelled was the smell of money! The smell of money!


    A large number of people meant that there was a large flow of money. The fragrance represented prosperity in her eyes. The prosperity of a city depended on how heavy the smell was.


    Suddenly, Jin Weiwei sniffed the air, and the internal organs began to awaken. What a familiar smell!


    As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw several large words written diagonally in front of him: Jinling flaky duck!


    Mother!


    Jin Weiwei immediately knelt down, wishing that he could pierce half of his body.


    She actually saw the previous body of the Peking Duck, the one she loved to eat the most in her previous life!


    She still remembered the first time she went to Beijing for a business trip, and the other party had invited her to eat. That taste, even in her dreams, she had wet her pillow a few times.


    "Stop!" "Stop the car!"


    Seeing that he was about to miss the opportunity, Jin Weiwei reacted and excitedly slapped his window. He was so scared by the Pearl Jadeite beside him that he thought that he was confused.


    "Do you see that Jinling flaky duck? "Go, bring two back."


    Jin Weiwei arrogantly slapped ten taels of silver on the pearl, causing it to twitch. She was scared of Madam just now and thought that something was wrong, but it turned out that Madam was hungry ¡­


    The two maidservants got off the car, and after a while, Jadeite ran back with a head full of sweat, "Madam, there are too many people to squeeze in!"


    Jin Weiwei frowned, seeing the way their heads were hit, how could the two little girls squeeze?


    It was now noon, so she would have to wait for a long time. Little Rich Son would definitely be waiting at home, it would not be good if she returned too late.


    "Where are the pearls?"


    Thinking about it, Jin Weiwei felt a little disappointed. Looks like she won''t be able to eat roast duck today.


    "Ah?" I thought my sister was back. "


    Jadeite frowned and turned to carefully look at Jin Weiwei. Since his sister wasn''t back yet, she must still be buying roast duck, so if she comes back first, would Madam think that she wasn''t paying attention?


    "Madam!" I bought a piece of duck. "


    Right at that moment, Pearl came running back with two oil-paper wrappers in her arms.


    Jin Weiwei was surprised and disappointed: "How did you buy it?"


    "It''s too crowded in the front, so I ran over to the kitchen area. The chef, who spent one tael of silver to bribe me, spent two taels of silver to buy two roasted ducks."


    With that, Pearl returned the money to Jin Weiwei with a pained look. This big city''s goods were expensive, a duck would actually cost two taels of silver, in Lishui County, even if it was the dishes made in a restaurant, it would only cost three or four taels of silver at most.


    "So what if I spent it? As for the remaining five liang, I''ll split it between you. It''s been a long time since I worked hard."


    Jin Weiwei took the roast duck and placed it in his arms like a precious treasure.


    Thinking of her, Jin Weiwei, she will be deducted anywhere, have you ever seen her deducted anything?


    Of course, there was no helping it, except for the poor clinking of the first moments.


    "..."


    Someone was pressed by Jin Weiwei into resting in his residence. Not long after Jin Weiwei left, Little Rich Son crawled up from the bed and sat alone in the pavilion in the courtyard, thinking about something.


    Mo Feng looked at his own prince and couldn''t help but be a little speechless. His prince''s gaze had already turned towards the entrance of the courtyard a few times.


    "Tell the kitchen to prepare something that the Lady likes to eat."


    Until almost noon, when Little Rich Son called for a little girl in the courtyard. That little girl''s face was red with embarrassment, she sneaked a glance at Little Rich Son and went down to give him instructions.


    After dinner, Little Rich Son still did not come back, but his expression had already turned cold.


    Mo Feng shook his body, and consciously floated to the other room''s beam, he estimated that prince had calculated the time Miss Kim would take to leave, and would definitely be angry if he did not return after such a long time.


    "prince ¡­"


    Mo Ba dropped, his smiling expression froze, and he forcibly pulled back his serious expression.


    Under Little Rich Son''s cold pressure, he said, "Husband, the Madam passed by a shop called Jin''ling Crispy Duck and stopped by for a servant girl to buy it, thus delaying her return."


    After saying that, Mo Ba clearly felt the cold air in the room dissipate quite a bit. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief.


    After the time it took to make a cup of tea, Jin Weiwei had finally returned. The moment he stepped into the door, the happy atmosphere engulfed Little Rich Son.


    "hubby, I''m back."


    The joyous cry made Little Rich Son''s face soften, and the corner of his mouth curved upwards.


    Mo Ba turned his face away, he did not even look at them!


    Why is prince so angry?


    "Guess what I brought? Did you eat it back in Beijing? "


    Jin Weiwei smiled so much that his face could no longer be seen, but when he thought that Little Rich Son was from the capital, he asked again.


    As he said that, he opened up the two oily paper. The fragrance of the grilled duck wafted out, causing Jin Weiwei''s stomach to spasm as it was torn apart.


    Little Rich Son''s eyebrows twitched, he nodded towards the old granny: "Morning meal."


    That old woman respectfully complied and left.


    Jin Weiwei raised her eyebrow, when the woman left, she had seen the disdain in her eyes, without a doubt, it was either towards Little Rich Son or her!

 C241

    No matter which one it was, she didn''t like this old woman. The fragrance of roasted duck assaulted her nose, and her saliva was once again drawn out. Forget it, her mood was good today, so she didn''t bother with this old woman.


    Forgetting about the two roast ducks wrapped in oil paper, Little Rich Son frowned slightly and shook his head: "No."


    This time, it was Jin Weiwei''s turn to be shocked: "How come you people from Beijing have never eaten before?"


    "..." I rarely eat outside. "


    Little Rich Son laughed faintly, as if the question Jin Weiwei asked was a little ridiculous.


    Jin Weiwei nodded his head, thinking about it, was the son of the Duke of Qin, he would definitely be able to taste some kind of acupuncture needles.


    "Then let''s eat together. Let me tell you, this food is really delicious. The first time I ate it was with someone else. It was quite a pity. I didn''t dare to wolf it down because of my personal appearance. I wasn''t full ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei cut the roast duck skillfully, but his wrist was caught, he raised his head in confusion and saw a layer of frost on Little Rich Son''s face.


    "Who are you eating with?"


    "Business partners."


    Jin Weiwei blinked his eyes, seeing that Little Rich Son''s face had calmed down, he could not help but laugh.


    "Are you jealous? "How come I didn''t know you were so jealous before?"


    Little Rich Son did not answer and coldly snorted. He picked up a duck that Jin Weiwei cut up and put it in his mouth.


    Jin Weiwei pursed his lips, he was pretending to be innocent, his acting was so f * cking good.


    "..."


    At Gongsun Residence.


    Just as Jin Weiwei and his group arrived at the Ye City, Gongsun Minzhi''s men received the news.


    "What did you say?" Ji Jingzhi is following that Jin Weiwei? "


    Gongsun Minzhi frowned, there was a problem, could it be that the Regent was going to touch him?


    No, he seemed to be neutral on the surface, which was why he was able to protect the Regent when they were making a move against the Emperor.


    No matter what, since Ji Jingzhi was in the Ye City, it would be his Gongsun family''s best chance. As long as he killed Ji Jingzhi, it would definitely have an impact on the Regent. At that time, the Gongsun family would be a great meritorious general in front of the Emperor.


    "This old man will write a report and have you personally deliver it to the capital."


    Even if he was unable to kill Ji Jingzhi in the Ye City, being a member of the royal family, being able to leave the capital on his own and still feign sickness was more than enough for Regent and his son to suffer!


    Meanwhile, the Emperor and the Emperor were in the capital, selecting students.


    "Your majesty, look at him. His literary skills are good, and his words are beautiful. He''s qualified to be a writing officer."


    Ji Changhuai casually picked up a test paper. The words on it looked pretty pretty at first glance and he was too lazy to read the contents, he directly passed it to the emperor and started concocting nonsense.


    The Emperor glanced at it and his brows twitched. He felt even more infuriated.


    This student''s writing was pretty beautiful, but its content was a form of etiquette, completely different from the exam questions. Ji Changhuai''s attitude of using a deer as a horse was becoming more and more arrogant.


    "Royal Uncle must be joking. In Supervisor Li''s school, the students of the Crown Prince are getting worse and worse year after year. These ceremonies can even be used for the exam content."


    The emperor sneered, and immediately lost face for Ji Changhuai. The king''s overseer, Li Xueyi, immediately broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to look at Ji Changhuai''s face.


    Just now, the Regent had praised this student, and just as he was feeling happy in his heart, who knew that the Emperor would give him such an expression?


    Ji Changhuai raised his eyebrows, not because he was angry at the emperor for giving him face. He, Ji Changhuai, had always had a thick skin, otherwise, he would not often be so angry that the emperor would jump up and down.


    The little emperor couldn''t compete with him at every turn, and he was too lazy to bother about literature. Otherwise, he would have to fudge the fact that the little emperor was holding his breath.


    "The words are pretty beautiful, it''s just the content, and it''s actually plagiarism."


    Ji Changhuai could still read words. Back in the days, he had to memorize etiquette notes due to being forced by the old teacher to.


    A burst of anger came over, with one move, he ripped off the paper slip and took a look at the name, Ji Changhuai squinted his eyes.


    "Supervisor Li, how dare you! His son, this king, had heard of the Wei Family before. He was a popinjay, a scholar who could not even be an Elementary Scholar! How did you end up in the son of a king''s overseer! "


    Supervisor Li was so scared that he immediately knelt down and laid on the ground while shaking his body. However, he couldn''t say a single word.


    This student surnamed Wei was even one of the most recent. He was Wei Shuwei''s elder brother, and upon hearing that, he agreed. Who didn''t know that Wei Shuwei was the future daughter-in-law of His Majesty the Regent, who would dare to offend him?


    "Tiny... "This humble subject ¡­"


    Director Li swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, but still could not say a complete sentence.


    "This King will watch. Recently, there have been people who have used this King''s prince''s name to show off, right?"


    A cold snort came from his nose. This was the kind of person he hated the most, a fox pretending to be a tiger!


    "This humble subject does not dare, at that time, it was the student surnamed Wei who said that he was prince Jing''s brother-in-law, and after finding himself in a difficult position for a long time, this humble subject could not afford to offend him."


    He was only a student overseer, but he was only a sixth rank official. Even fifth rank officials had a handful of them in the capital, let alone a sixth rank.


    Ji Changhuai''s face was cold, this Supervisor Li was an experienced man, he knew what he wanted to do, but people had to change, this was the foundation of the country.


    The emperor frowned as he looked at Ji Changhuai. Why would this old thing suddenly attack?


    Could it be ¡­!?


    Before he could even react, Ji Changhuai spoke out, "Your majesty, this disciple of Wei Family is so, that Wei Shuwei is probably not any better. Jingzhi is a good child, we cannot let such a person be harmed.


    The emperor''s gaze darkened. He was still suspicious as to why Ji Changhuai, who had never been interested in matters like this, would would come to read his paper.


    "Royal Uncle, I think that since this Wei Shuwei is Wei Shuwei, he is definitely different from her brother. Otherwise, her reputation would not spread out."


    "Your majesty, the so-called rumors cannot be trusted. If it''s really like this, then how could you teach such an unskilled son?"


    Yo, the little Emperor learned to be reasonable?


    But is Ji Changhuai a reasonable person?


    He had specially asked around, but the words written by this brother of Wei Shuwei''s were good, it was just that his literary talent was terrible. He had found so many beautiful words today, how could it be easy to write?


    "Royal Uncle, today is the election day for the imperial court. We might as well find another day to have the empress call Wei Shuwei over, wouldn''t it be better for you to take a look personally?"


    The corner of the emperor''s mouth held a faint smile, making Ji Changhuai wonder if the little emperor ate the wrong medicine?


    So patient today?


    "Alright, let''s choose a candidate today. We''ll talk about other things later."


    Ji Changhuai did not continue to pester her. If today''s matter got out, he would have a thousand ways to make the Wei clan personally end the engagement.


    After a while, there was only the sound of paper flipping and the scent of pen and ink.


    Suddenly, the emperor raised his head, and handed a paper over to Ji Changhuai, his face full of smiles: "Royal Uncle, have a look at this man?"


    Ji Changhuai yawned and accepted the paper. His eyes lit up, this word was really beautiful!


    Looking at the content, not long later, Ji Changhuai started to frown, this person''s literary skills are extremely good, but... He was also very ambitious.

 C242

    After thinking about it again and again, Ji Changhuai compared the other students'' papers, none of them were like that.


    It was either they had literary talent, but they lacked the determination, or they lacked literary talent because they had an opinion.


    "Royal Uncle, after seeing so much, I still feel that this person is not bad ¡­"


    "Mm, let''s do it this way."


    He had to give them a good beating. If he could get them to join his faction, it would be the best. Otherwise, they would be able to develop and become a powerful opponent!


    The corners of the emperor''s mouth twitched slightly. He raised his eyes to look at Supervisor Li, who was still kneeling down.


    "You go and put this... Shen Che called for you. "


    Captain Li stood up with a pale face and staggered a little. Not daring to say anything else, he turned around and walked outside.


    "..."


    The next day, Jin Weiwei woke up early to check Little Rich Son''s wounds, and only after discovering that he had recovered more or less, was he able to relax. At the same time, he also secretly sighed, the effects of water in space were truly great.


    Originally, Jin Weiwei wanted Little Rich Son to rest for another day, but a certain someone insisted on going with her.


    "I''m going to see Cheng Yu today."


    Jin Weiwei looked at his face from the side and swallowed his saliva. This sharp lower jaw with its shattered eyelashes and eyes as deep as the stars, was truly a rare object.


    "Have you seen enough?"


    The rare object turned its head to the side. The sunlight shifted to the side of its face. Its eyes were full of ridicule and its slightly curled lips ¡­ Jin Weiwei''s face turned red.


    "No ¡­." I didn''t see enough! "


    Biting her lips tightly, why didn''t she think that Little Rich Son was beautiful in the past? This guy was clearly a monster! It was to tempt her into committing a crime!


    "Hmm?"


    Someone laughed softly, and his eyes bent slightly as he suddenly leaned towards Jin Weiwei. His softness fell on the corner of Jin Weiwei''s mouth and his lips felt like they were touched by lightning, the numbness and wetness instantly disappeared, causing her entire body to feel itchy.


    "Is that enough?"


    Jin Weiwei caressed her lips, and her breathing suddenly became heavier. She seemed to have... He was out of oxygen.


    Swallowing his throat, he impolitely hugged onto a certain someone''s waist, as a muffled voice came out from his powerful chest: "Ji Jingzhi, has anyone ever said anything about what you look like?"


    Hearing her call out his name, Little Rich Son was startled, and gently asked: "What?"


    "Monster, seductive monster!"


    He looked up unwillingly from Little Rich Son''s embrace, and stared at Little Rich Son without blinking: "You make me commit a crime now."


    Before Jin Weiwei could react, a feeling of suffocation invaded her body.


    Forget it, Jin Weiwei leaned powerlessly against Little Rich Son''s chest, and the steam that Little Rich Son exhaled just beside his ears: "In the future, call me Jingzhi."


    "Jingzhi?"


    "Yes."


    The two words came out from Jin Weiwei''s mouth, and with a hint of sweetness, it seeped into his body. On the left side of his chest, it was extremely soft, but it released an immense amount of power, which was enough to wrap Jin Weiwei within it.


    "Madam ¡­" "Well, the carriage is ready."


    It was too late for Pearl to stop it. Didn''t you see the old master and his wife loving each other?


    Ji Jingzhi''s cold gaze swept over, causing Jadeite to shrink back, forcing himself to say the words.


    She, did she do something wrong ¡­


    Jin Weiwei coughed, she then tidied up her clothes awkwardly, how could she have forgotten to let the two maidservants prepare the carriage?


    After a moment, Jin Weiwei''s expression returned to normal, other than a flush, everything else was normal.


    "Mm, let''s go."


    After speaking, he carried her out. Ji Jingzhi then stepped forward and held her hand, almost causing her expression, which Jin Weiwei had difficulty controlling, to collapse.


    "..."


    "Madame Jin, you''re finally here."


    Cheng Yu''s face was pale white, and there was still Wu Qing at the moment. The crescent white scholarly gown he wore was slightly empty, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.


    Jin Weiwei nodded with a smile. Thinking back, it was about the robbers, right? In the past two days, she closed her eyes, every time she saw the sky full of corpses and Jingzhi''s injuries, she would be at ease. Under Jingzhi''s comforting, she had more or less recovered in the past two days.


    Cheng Yu, there''s no one by your side, I''m afraid ¡­ It''s not that easy, is it?


    "From the looks of it, you didn''t rest well. When I asked around, I really should have taken your body into account. This time, however, I feel somewhat guilty."


    Holding her hand tightly, Jin Weiwei shook her hand. This person, could he not even hear her courteous words?


    "That won''t be necessary. I was the one who couldn''t help but be scared. If I don''t find something else to do, I''ll really die young."


    Cheng Yu laughed, and upon closer inspection, there was a hint of bitterness, Jin Weiwei lowered her eyes, she thought, it probably wasn''t just the matter of the bandits, right?


    "Then you still have to rest well. You are my money tree right now, so you can''t make any mistakes."


    Jin Weiwei joked, but his gaze landed on the table behind Cheng Yu. On it, there seemed to be a few designs.


    "Let''s not talk about this anymore. Come take a look. I just added some ideas and got the master of the Cheng family to draw it out. Please give us some advice."


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei''s gaze was not on him, he did not waste his breath, instead, he looked at the matters concerning the clan. He thought that his father could handle them better than him.


    Jin Weiwei nodded and walked towards the table. As he got closer, he automatically let go of her hands and moved a chair over to her.


    He turned and smiled at Ji Jingzhi, who sat down and began to look at the blueprints.


    "Young Master Cheng, you even want to earn money from the rich."


    Cheng Yu looked over and saw a towering house under his slender white fingers.


    "Ah, this, this is my idea as well. There are quite a few people who live above the average in this Ye City life, and this kind of house has a courtyard, adding on with the usual kind of house style, there''s definitely someone who would come to buy it."


    They were rich, but not very rich. Most of them had a good face, so they could spend more than the rich could afford. Then, this novelty, this overlap, this large area of a house was undoubtedly the best way to show one''s face.


    "En, that''s a good idea, but we have yet to find out the bottom of Ye City and so we have to let these thoughts go. Young Master Cheng, I want to visit the president of the merchant guild that possesses Ye City in two days."


    Jin Weiwei frowned, that was a good thought, but he felt that it was better to make a big cake to satisfy his hunger.


    On the side of the Ye City, they were still blind. Although the ancient era did not control things that well, what if the officials were not easy to deal with? What if the Ye City merchant guilds joined together to push them out? This is all a problem.


    I am a member of the Ye City Chamber of Commerce, and as for the members of the Ye City Chamber of Commerce, they are mostly the chairman of each region, big and small. The Ye City is connected to the Cloud Sea County, so naturally they would be able to go to the ocean and thus, many of the trading economies would have to leave from here. It''s Gongsun Hong. "


    Cheng Yu frowned, for the past few days, his heart had been troubled because of his family''s matters, and he had forgotten about the most troublesome matter, his brain!


    Jin Weiwei''s eyebrows jumped, the president of the Ye City Chamber of Commerce was Gongsun Hong, why does she feel that if she goes to visit him, it will be a trap?


    "Before, I invited Gongsun Hong to do some things, but he did not do it well, so our relationship is a bit rigid."

 C243

    Jin Weiwei sighed, she didn''t need to ask to know the reason why. It was because Gongsun Hong did not save Cheng Yu and had instead used Cheng Yu''s accident to achieve some sort of goal.


    She had already seen it before, for example this Young Master Gongsun Hong''s father wanted to kill Jingzhi ¡­


    "Young Master Cheng, do you know who Gongsun Hong''s father is?"


    She thought that those who were not powerful enough could not touch Regent.


    "Ye City Prefect, Gongsun Minzhi."


    Cheng Yu didn''t hesitate at all as he immediately blurted out, but the deep meaning in his eyes was somewhat unclear to Jin Weiwei.


    Ji Jingzhi, who was sitting beside Jin Weiwei, gave Cheng Yu a glance, and looked at him with slight astonishment.


    Jin Weiwei''s face paled. "Ye City Department ¡­"


    If she knew about Ye City, wouldn''t Jingzhi and her be throwing herself into his trap and entering his den?


    Ji Jingzhi reached out his hand to cover Jin Weiwei''s slightly cold hand: "It''s fine."


    Jin Weiwei calmed down a little.


    "Young Master Cheng, I came here today because I have something to talk to you about."


    Cheng Yu looked at the two''s intersecting hands and expressions, his intuition told him that something must have happened between the two, but it was clear that Jin Weiwei did not want to say anything, so no matter how much he asked, it would be useless.


    "Go ahead."


    Our goods are in the Ye City, so we naturally can''t use the sea as our biggest source of cargo. I thought, why not sell our goods to different places, but that way we would need an armed caravan, and other than the escort company, we also need the approval of the government for the items on the weapon.


    Jin Weiwei rubbed his brow, each and every one of them was a headache.


    "Madame Jin, this, we might be able to find Xia Zhe."


    Cheng Yu pondered for a while. From the moment he was plundered by bandits not far from his Ye City, he had this thought.


    Even though... He raised his eyes and looked at the silent Little Rich Son. Even though he felt that the bandits this time were strange, and that these people were obviously here for the two of them, Little Rich Son had instructed his subordinates to tell him that they were robbers. The few people beside Little Rich Son seemed to have disappeared, and he didn''t see any of them, could it be that ¡­ Was it the Dark Guard?


    Ji Jingzhi suddenly raised his head and saw the look in Cheng Yu''s eyes.


    Cheng Yu''s heart tensed up, he retracted his gaze and looked at Jin Weiwei.


    "Xia Zhe..."


    Jin Weiwei lowered his head and thought, he did not see the two''s movements.


    That''s right, how could she have forgotten about Xia Zhe''s situation? Xia Zhe was a travelling merchant, and he had been fine for so many years, that means that both parties had people present, or he had an armed team protecting the caravan.


    "I wonder when Boss Xia will return?"


    Hearing that, Cheng Yu laughed, the moment he heard Jin Weiwei''s question, he knew that Jin Weiwei had a plan.


    "About April next year."


    Half a year!


    Jin Weiwei nodded, half a year was enough for her to do a lot of things.


    "Young Master Cheng, if that''s the case, then it''s a deal. At the end of this year, let''s open up our shop and earn enough money."


    "Alright, then I won''t send you off."


    Cheng Yu rubbed the corner of his brows. At this moment, he felt that he had found the chair he was sitting on right now. The chair he wished for nothing more than to become his bed.


    "..."


    "hubby, let''s go buy a manor first."


    After exiting the door, Jin Weiwei held Ji Jingzhi''s hand and suggested.


    Ji Jingzhi revealed a puzzled look: "What?"


    "To store the grain, to plant the grain, and to raise the pigs and the sheep."


    She hadn''t forgotten what her old self was.


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up as he thought about all the herbs in the space. Maybe she would open a hospital in the future.


    "What is it? Why are you so happy?"


    Only after being pulled into someone''s embrace did Jin Weiwei regain his senses. Raising his head, he looked at the person, and suddenly grabbed his shoulder to sniff at his chest. There was indeed a faint musky smell.


    It seems that Little Rich Son had been taking medicine recently.


    "Jingzhi, I will open a big hospital in the future and treat your illness, okay?"


    Jingzhi... It was when she was happy.


    "Alright."


    Hugging her waist, Ji Jingzhi''s eyebrows slightly raised, carrying a faint sense of happiness.


    "Hmm, when I''ve set up the rice noodle shop, butcher''s shop, and real estate, I''ll open a big hospital and make pills to cure your illness. Speaking of which, the agate is almost fully recovered ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei was originally extremely happy, but when she thought of how cute she looked at the agate, she suddenly felt that she was very cruel.


    "Don''t move it."


    "This won''t do, if you don''t move it, how will your disease recover ¡­" It is a spiritual object, so there must be another way. "


    Jin Weiwei was anxious, how could he not move?


    Did she not know which was important?


    "Weiwei, no need to force it."


    Ji Jingzhi caressed Jin Weiwei''s face and laughed.


    "Let''s not talk about this anymore. Tomorrow, I''ll take a look at how the shop is being decorated. Once it''s finished, I''ll move all the things I brought in and make a trip to the government office."


    Regardless of whether it was in ancient or modern times, opening a shop was an official document that required proof. If not, it was against the law.


    At first, she had wanted to pay a visit to the President of the Ye City Association, but if it was Gongsun Hong, she would feel goosebumps just thinking about it. This person looked very gentle and docile, and she would not even know when he would stab her.


    "Mm, I''ll accompany you."


    "You''re not afraid of the government ¡­" Do I catch you? "


    Jin Weiwei opened his eyes wide, filled with worry. When Ji Jingzhi saw this, he was delighted, and smiled: "It''s alright."


    Since he came to Ye City, it meant that Gongsun Minzhi knew about it, and so did the person from Beijing.


    "..."


    In the capital. The lonely, luxurious Redbud City. A black figure was flying through the air at high speed.


    Empress''s chamber. Longsong Palace.


    As the two played chess, an attendant suddenly barged in and knelt on the ground.


    "Your Majesty, Empress, Ye City has come to report."


    The lady opposite the emperor had gentle eyebrows and gentle eyes. Her thin lips were pursed slightly. Originally, she appeared extremely gentle. However, the True Red Palace dress on her body could not conceal her elegance.


    She smiled and waved her hand, "Present."


    Her voice was slightly cold, extremely inconsistent with her gentle appearance.


    The servant did not dare delay any longer and quickly handed over the letter. The servant looked at it for a bit before lowering his head. His face was a bit pale.


    Queen... The empress had actually opened the letter in front of the emperor.


    "You may leave."


    On the other hand, it was the Emperor who spoke, allowing the attendants to be free.


    In such a large palace, there were only two people remaining. The empress smiled gently and said, "Your Majesty, there''s actually a royal family that has left the capital with an illness in this capital."


    Saying so, he handed the letter over.


    After reading the contents, the emperor''s face turned ugly. His tightly clenched fists looked like he was forcefully suppressing his anger, when suddenly, a pair of gentle palms covered his body and the slightly cold voice became gentle, "Your majesty, haven''t you not seen Regent for a long time? It can be said that His Majesty and prince Jing grew up together. "


    The Emperor''s pupils constricted when he heard this, and his fist that was covered under gentleness slowly loosened. His cold and tender face was filled with a femininity as he said, "Yes, I haven''t seen Brother Jing for a long time."


    "That''s right."


    Empress Xu laughed softly once again, filling the room with a sinister air.

 C244

    In the imperial court the next day, the disturbance was so bizarre that the entire imperial court did not dare to breathe too loudly.


    The emperor chuckled as he looked at Ji Changhuai: "Royal Uncle, Brother Jing''s injuries haven''t recovered in a long time, why don''t we go down to the court to take a look and see what kind of quack doctor he is? He hasn''t healed Brother Jing yet."


    Ji Changhuai lazily opened his eyes slightly, what entered his eyes was the new bright yellow dragon robe made by the emperor. These words, the little emperor probably wanted to say it for a long time.


    Jingzhi had been recuperating from his injuries for almost three months now, if he continued then there would be a problem, but that brat did not have any indications of wanting to return at all, he only needed his son to bring his daughter-in-law back to give him a call, no matter how strong his father was, he could not look down on the emperor in public.


    Jingzhi''s injuries have almost healed, it''s just that this brat is too lazy, he doesn''t want to come to the imperial court to do anything, that''s all.


    The emperor pursed his lips, his eyes a little cold. If Ji Jingzhi really did not care about matters in the court, then he would burn incense to worship Buddha!


    "What is Uncle Huang saying? We are family, and Brother Jing has been injured for so long. I haven''t looked at it, so I can''t let it go. I''ve already gotten the empress to prepare gifts and want to take a look."


    Shen Che, who was seated in an inconspicuous corner, quickly recorded the conversation between the two. He secretly lifted his head to look at Ji Changhuai, and then looked at the emperor in front of him.


    This emperor ¡­ He might not be a match for the Regent.


    He had heard about what happened half a year ago. The Emperor was anxious, he actually tried to assassinate Ji Jingzhi when he was on patrol. If something were to happen to Ji Jingzhi, it would be fine.


    However, the people under the Emperor''s command had not done their job well. If not, how could they have ended up in such a dire situation?


    Today was the first time he had written this. He was a person who had pushed out Wei Family, and Wei Family meant for him to help the emperor. But last night, the Regent had found him, and the hidden benefits from his words and actions had always been hidden.


    The corner of his mouth raised slightly, was he, Shen Che, that easy to be manipulated by others?


    The corner of Ji Changhuai''s mouth drooped down as he lowered his eyes to cover a trace of impatience. The little emperor wanted to be a demon again.


    "Alright, Jingzhi also said that he hasn''t seen the emperor for a long time, I miss him a little."


    Let''s go. This time, he wanted to see if the little Emperor would dare to make a second trip.


    The emperor nodded, and Ji Changhuai revealed a smile as well. All of the officials heaved a sigh of relief, there were some who were smart enough to see through the problem.


    During the time that Ji Jingzhi was recuperating, the Regent refused to see any guests. If they said that there was nothing inside, the old people in the imperial court would not believe it.


    "..."


    Jin Weiwei accompanied Ji Jingzhi downstairs to the Shangguan Palace, but what Jin Weiwei found strange was that her proof of business actually came out very quickly. She even got Jingzhi to help her look through it, and there were no problems.


    "Strange, strange. When did the officials become so easy to talk to? It can''t be because of you, right?"


    Ji Jingzhi also revealed doubt on his face as he handed the certificate over to Jin Weiwei: "Wait."


    Wait for what?


    Seeing Ji Jingzhi''s gloomy face, Jin Weiwei realized that he was waiting for Gongsun Minzhi to make his move?


    Somehow, he felt a bit apprehensive. Fighting with the officials was a bit suspenseful.


    In fact, she just wanted to live a good life, where did all these bad thoughts come from?


    Little snow started to fall from the sky, turning into water on the grayish-brown floor tiles. The blue color started to turn dark and hazy, and the closeby pressure of the black pressure caused Jin Weiwei to feel a little pressurized.


    Not long after, it started to drizzle and the snow that had been there before was gone.


    A sliver of cold entered Jin Weiwei''s neck and he could not help but tremble for a bit, following that, his entire body became wet and cold.


    The city near the sea was indeed deadly cold.


    raised his head, and could only see Ji Jingzhi''s sharp jaw, and could not help but exclaim that it was good for a man, as he did not even stop growing when he was 20 years old.


    He lowered his eyes. He was wearing an embroidered coat made of blue satin. The coat was so long that it almost covered the ground.


    "Where did this thing come from?"


    "The royal estate''s treasury."


    He also gave Weiwei two boxes of clothes and jewelry, warning him not to take them out at once. Weiwei would use them when he was unhappy or when he was surprised.


    Seeing Jin Weiwei''s curled lips, Ji Jingzhi was extremely happy in his heart.


    He had also listened to the words of Butler De.


    "You still have women''s clothes in your warehouse?"


    Jin Weiwei squinted his eyes, looking as dangerous as a stray cat.


    "A gift."


    The hand that tied Jin Weiwei stopped for a moment, covering the unnaturalness in his eyes. These were all left behind by his mother for his daughter-in-law.


    Jin Weiwei suspiciously exclaimed and suddenly grabbed Ji Jingzhi''s hand that was tied to the belt. He leaned on him and said: "The capital is filled with nobles, which family would give me a gift or give me some clothes?"


    Unless it was bestowed by the royal family, this coat, however, was not the best of the best. The embroidery didn''t have the noble air of the royal family.


    Who would have thought that someone would suddenly hold her by the waist and smile mockingly, "This is what mother gave to her daughter-in-law."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei''s expression that was trying to find fault with Su Yun went blank for a moment, followed by a blush, and under Ji Jingzhi''s ridiculing gaze, he threw his gaze into a certain someone''s chest.


    Years ago, my father went to war, and my mother went to search for him. Before leaving, she left behind a lot of clothes for me, as well as some for my future daughter-in-law.


    It was a rare long sentence, but it revealed a lot of information. Jin Weiwei raised his head, and saw that Ji Jingzhi''s face was filled with sadness and hatred.


    His mother had only left after hearing that his father had been seriously injured during the battle. However, she had died of an illness on the way back. His father had told him about this information, but he didn''t believe that his mother was in good health.


    Jin Weiwei was a little sad so he could only hug Ji Jingzhi tightly. A mother, one side being her husband and the other being her son.


    She thought, when this mother left her son, she must have done a lot of things and said a lot.


    Available... Why did she feel as if the Regent Concubine knew that she was going to die?


    "..."


    After they left the imperial palace, the emperor took the initiative to form a company with Ji Changhuai. Ji Changhuai did not reject them, his hands held behind his back as he relaxed, he was not in a hurry at all.


    Shen Che was ordered to follow, and saw the emperor''s impatience and Regent''s scheming.


    After a long while, he shook his head. The Regent had probably come up with a plan, but he didn''t know how the Emperor would deal with it.


    When he saw the big door of the Regent, the Emperor saw Butler De at the big door from afar.


    "There is no lack of people by royal uncle''s side, but there is no one by my side."


    As he spoke, he became somewhat sentimental, but Ji Changhuai''s expression grew cold. Who said that there were people around him, and his Ya Er ¡­ It was the empress dowager''s masterpiece!


    "The emperor still has the empress dowager by his side, unlike me, who is lonely. If Jingzhi gets married again, I''ll really be by myself."


    He felt a bit sour inside. He didn''t care, he had to deliver a message to that brat tonight. He wanted to see his daughter-in-law and to hug his grandson.


    The emperor pursed his lips, he did not say anymore, but his footsteps were as fast as the wind, faintly, opened up a distance between him and Ji Changhuai.

 C245

    Shen Che hurriedly followed along, the corners of his eyebrows constantly twitching, he felt that this matter was not that simple ¡­


    Swoosh!


    An arrow brushed past Shen Che''s ear and cut off two of its threads.


    Shen Che''s pupils constricted as he watched the arrow pierce through the emperor''s arm.


    Ah!


    Shen Che''s heart shivered, the hair on his back stood up. He could have imagined that the Regent would have a plan to deal with him, but he never thought that it would be like this ¡­


    While he was in a daze, another arrow shot over. Shen Che dodged frantically and crawled to the side of the pale Emperor to protect him.


    "Protect ¡­ Protect the emperor!"


    His lips quivered for a few sentences before he finally found his voice. His hoarse voice was like a cold and harsh Purgatory. Hearing it, the Emperor''s ears only felt that it was abnormally horrifying.


    The sky was densely packed with arrows, getting closer and closer. Shen Che clenched his teeth, closed his eyes and protected the emperor, the Regent would definitely not kill the emperor, definitely not!


    Dong!


    The sound of the doors closing could be heard, causing Shen Che''s heart to tremble. Opening his eyes, he saw the anxious look on Ji Changhuai''s face.


    "Your majesty, your subject is here. Don''t be afraid!"


    The emperor had already fainted, leaving Ji Changhuai in the process.


    Shen Che''s cold body slowly calmed down, and her eyes were gradually dyed with a layer of gray.


    He was still not ruthless enough, not cold enough. Compared to Regent, his abilities were like eggs and stones, unable to withstand a single blow.


    "Assassin hunting", after finishing, Ji Changhuai brought his men to Shen Che, and did not even look at him.


    "Come on, send the emperor back to the palace and find an imperial physician to treat him. If anything happens to the emperor, this king will take his life!"


    Shen Che raised his eyes, seeing Ji Changhuai''s murderous gaze, his heart could not help but tremble.


    "Shen Tong must take good care of the emperor. The emperor is a person who values friendship."


    Shen Che immediately nodded, Ji Changhuai snorted and turned his head, but did not see the scheme in Shen Che''s eyes.


    Regent was giving him a chance, he had to grab hold of it.


    "..."


    After four or five days, Jin Weiwei''s shop had finally been renovated, especially the second floor.


    There were a total of twenty small rooms on the second floor. Her two rooms were connected into one room, that was ten rooms.


    It could be rented to ten people, it could be done like Lishui County, slowly, slowly, it wouldn''t be too eye-catching. There were too many people with the ability in Ye City, she couldn''t be in too much of a hurry.


    The display tables on the first floor were arranged in accordance to the Lishui County, and she added something new to it.


    The sausages, rice noodles and other things that the Lishui County had brought over were also being moved in.


    "Be careful, don''t press this sausage at the bottom, it''s easy to burst."


    Jin Weiwei stopped the workers who were moving their things and pointed to the basket of sausages.


    "Yes, yes."


    "Put down this basket of sausages, I think it should be here."


    This was the center of the hall, and was the entrance. With a glance, he could see the place, and it just so happened that there was an advertisement, and the hall was split into two, one selling food, the other selling meat and sausages.


    "The potatoes, the sweet potatoes, the rice noodles, the sausages and meat, yes."


    Seeing the direction she was pointing at, Ji Jingzhi casually placed the things inside, as though he was an obedient worker. Seeing that Ji Jingzhi was busy, Jin Weiwei also rolled up his sleeves and started working.


    On the other hand, the two servants behind Jin Weiwei were as idle as two supervisors.


    "Yo, what kind of shop is this? Are they selling meat or food? "


    Aiyo, why did she sound so weird when she said that?


    Jin Weiwei raised his head and saw a fat man, who looked like he was pregnant with ten months of gestation, walk in. The Large Gold Tooth in his mouth looked as if he had just eaten feces, it was extremely disgusting.


    When Ji Jingzhi saw this, she did not pay attention to it. Jin Weiwei rolled her eyes and did not bother to respond either. Her time today was too precious, she did not have the time to talk to a pile of sh * t.


    "Tsk tsk, little girl, did your shopkeeper come today?"


    Maybe it was because the Pearl Jadeite was dressed too well and looked good to be eating, but Large Gold Tooth had his eyes on the two of them.


    Jadeite rolled her eyes and did not say a word. Pearl, on the other hand, politely smiled and greeted him.


    "May I know the purpose of this old master''s visit to my shopkeeper?"


    Large Gold Tooth touched his chin, the drooping corner of his eyes twitched, he looked around, his eyes revealed jealousy. He had originally planned to buy this place.


    However, in the middle of his journey, Cheng Qijin suddenly paid the bill and bought the building. He stayed next to the building and listened to the loud banging sound for a few days. He couldn''t help but come over to take a look.


    "Of course it''s to see what kind of business he''s in, but it''s not normal. I don''t think he''ll be able to do it in the long run, so why don''t you give it to me? Making a restaurant would make more money than this."


    Large Gold Tooth sneered. He wanted to see who was blind enough to dare touch what he, Master Jin, wanted!


    Pearl''s smile turned into a sneer. Just as she was about to speak, Jadeite Scurry in front of Pearl, her fingers almost reaching Large Gold Tooth''s nostrils.


    "Pfft, looks like a pile of shit, don''t think that it''s too beautiful!"


    "Hey, you little girl! How can you speak like that! "Do you know if I, Master Jin ¡­"


    "Puchi ¡­" "Haha!"


    Hearing Jadeite''s curses, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but flinch. The little girl was really talented, the description was really appropriate.


    It was only then that Large Gold Tooth realized that there was another girl in front of them. The instant he raised his head, his eyes lit up as well.


    Aiyo, this girl sure has a good smell.


    These facial features looked nothing special, but when they came together, they were exceptionally alluring. The more I looked at them, the more I liked them. This skin and this face were like eggs.


    The most important thing was that the two dimples were adorable, making them even more attractive.


    "young madam, I, Master Jin, am considered rich and influential in Ye City, why not follow me, it would be better than working here!"


    Seeing that the saliva was about to reach Jin Weiwei''s face, Ji Jingzhi suddenly stood up and pushed Large Gold Tooth away.


    "Who are you!?" "Do you know that Master Jin, I ¡­"


    "F * ck off."


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei was alright, Ji Jingzhi finally looked at Large Gold Tooth.


    Large Gold Tooth swallowed his saliva and retreated two steps. Why is the look in this brat''s eyes so scary?


    "Men, hit him! Don''t hurt that young madam, or else I will take your lives!"


    A group of people surrounded them. Ji Jingzhi''s eyes turned cold as he followed the direction of the stave at his feet. One man and one rod.


    "Who are you? "How dare you cause trouble."


    Jin Weiwei could not hold back her laughter, but she started laughing coldly. She was going to open for business tomorrow, she did not want any kind of cat or dog to ruin the atmosphere.


    "You! You bunch of idiots! You, just you wait! "


    Seeing that he had fallen, Large Gold Tooth was not stupid, he took two steps back and watched as Ji Jingzhi ran away after saying his piece.


    "How ridiculous!"


    Jin Weiwei frowned as he looked at the fat figure. With so many people, he could really meet anyone!

 C246

    However, after looking at it for a bit, Mo Ba who was waiting in the dark knew how to take notice of it and quickly ran away.


    When that person came in, he immediately found the Large Gold Tooth unsightly, as if it was a pile of sh * t.


    "..."


    However, he still vaguely remembered that it was Shen Che who had saved him, and he didn''t want even the concubines in the harem. Even the Empress had been chased away by the Emperor''s people.


    It wasn''t until the third day that the emperor started to have awareness, but he still wanted Shen Che to be there.


    In front of the Changlin Palace, in the emperor''s chamber.


    Deep exhaustion hung on Empress Xu''s faint, cold and gentle face, but her watery eyes held some sharpness as they looked at the respectful Shen Che who stood in front of her without a trace of a face.


    "Logically speaking, as a queen, I should not be able to easily meet foreign officials, but this is a special period. If I''m not wrong, are you from the emperor?"


    The corner of Shen Che''s lower lip slightly curled up, and his entire person looked even more pathetic.


    "Yes, this humble subject is naturally someone of the emperor. Who in this world isn''t?"


    "Hmph, what a glib tongue, no wonder Wei Family pushed you over."


    A cold snort sounded, causing Shen Che''s heart to tremble slightly. He came out of the Wei Family, no one knew except the emperor, but the empress knew about this.


    "Empress, if it wasn''t for this official''s glib tongue, the Wei Family would not have pushed me up. Your Majesty ¡­ and he doesn''t know how to use a subject. "


    The Wei Family that was used to push him was the Wei Family that had been engaged with Ji Jingzhi, and the student surnamed Wei that Regent angrily dismissed was the firstborn child of the Wei Family, so naturally, he could not compare to Wei Shuwei, who was born from the same family.


    He thought that perhaps, Wei Family could not benefit the Regent and his son before choosing another method. Otherwise, why would he not care about the things that happened in the Xu Family before?


    ~ I wonder why Wei Family suddenly changed my mind. Could it be that the Emperor promised us a Wei Family for us to benefit us?


    "Heh, I won''t speak of those dirty thoughts anymore. Since the emperor wants your service, then serve him well. I''ll have my people wait around the palace until the emperor is safe."


    With that, Empress Xu flicked her sleeve and left, her eyes giving him a cold glint that made people shiver uncontrollably.


    Looking at the back of Empress Xu who was walking further and further away, Shen Che''s lips curled up. Something had happened to her with Xu Family, how could Empress Xu be alright? Or was he being too loyal to the emperor?


    He had heard that the Xu Family back then had not been very good to this Empress Xu.


    Or perhaps ¡­ Did this empress have too many tricks?


    Back then, when the Regent was about to make a move on Empress Xu, the emperor risked his life to protect her.


    "Shen Che!"


    The emperor''s roar came from within the hall, followed by the sound of tea cups shattering.


    Shen Che''s eyes darkened, he quickly entered the Inner Palace.


    "Your majesty, are you looking for this official?"


    Ignoring the fragments on the ground, Shen Che kneeled down without even blinking his eyes. The dark red color meandered out under the dim yellow light and submerged into the embroidered carpet, disappearing without a trace.


    "Shen Che? Shen Che! Quick, gather all the soldiers from the left and right of the capital city and surround them with Regent''s Palace. "He actually dares to assassinate me!"


    The emperor had just woken up. His eyes were still red, and the gauze wrapped around his arm was blood-red. Perhaps it was because he had struggled too hard, causing the wound to open up.


    Shen Che hurriedly stepped forward to press the emperor down. "Your Majesty, it''s not appropriate for us to fall out now with the Regent."


    "Not suitable? "Good, very good!"


    Hearing that, the emperor''s eyes became even redder. He looked left and right, picked up a vase and threw it at Shen Che''s head. He had already lost all reason.


    Shen Che staggered a bit, his vision suddenly turning black, he turned around and saw that the emperor was surrounded by a group of eunuchs, all of them looking at the emperor and him in panic.


    "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! This is the brush in front of us, Master Shen Shen Che! Your Majesty, if something were to happen to Master Shen, the officials outside would definitely punish you. "


    If it was any other day, they would not have dared to stop the emperor. However, after the previous time, when the emperor beat him to death, the Regent was furious towards the emperor, and the eunuchs beside the emperor were also angered, the next batch was killed, they were also afraid, and had no choice but to stop it. Offending the emperor was better than offending the Regent.


    "If Your Majesty is unable to keep his cool, he will only be tightly grasped in the Regent''s hands."


    The sight before him cleared up, and Shen Che kowtowed lightly, but it was loud enough for the emperor to hear.


    The emperor who had a sinister expression on his face suddenly stopped, the young eunuchs who came forward to pull people away looked at each other, and retreated under Shen Che''s instructions.


    Then, he raised his head to look at the Emperor, only to see blood red in front of him. Shen Che wiped it off without a care.


    The Emperor''s tense body relaxed, and his crimson eyes became much lighter. Obviously, he had calmed down.


    "Tell me, what should we do now?"


    Shen Che pursed his lips, the emperor''s hand was tightly grabbing onto his quilt, exactly... Still hateful.


    "Currently, the Regent is capturing assassins throughout the city. That day, the Regent risked his life to protect him. The Emperor should reward the Regent."


    "A prize?" Did I hear wrong? You actually want me to curry favor with an official! "


    "Wasn''t the Emperor the same before?"


    Shen Che raised his eyes and looked at the emperor fearlessly. The emperor''s expression changed greatly and the look in his eyes became unfriendly.


    "Are you saying that we should first show our weakness to the Regent before planning to do anything?"


    "Yes, Your Majesty is now ¡­" However, the Regent only wants an obedient emperor. It would be better for the Emperor to pretend to be the Regent, because there will always be a time when the tiger is going to relax. "


    After Shen Che finished speaking, the hall fell into silence.


    After a long while, just when Shen Che felt that his body was a little weak, the emperor spoke out, "You are injured too. We will go down to recuperate properly today, we know what to do."


    After Shen Che was done with the ceremony, he left with the support of the young eunuch. The emperor only had this, after thinking it through, he would do it with extreme calmness.


    "..."


    The next morning, was the day that the Jin Clan Food Store opened its doors. As soon as the sun rose, Jin Weiwei woke up.


    Standing by the door and looking at Ji Jingzhi who was already prepared, Jin Weiwei felt a little embarrassed: "hubby, wait a little longer, I''ll be out after I finish applying rouge."


    Ji Jingzhi nodded, the figure sitting on the stone table seemed somewhat lonely.


    A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Ji Jingzhi: "prince, that person is only a rich person, he probably can''t stand prince buying this building, so he came to cause trouble."


    Mo Ba secretly rolled his eyes. This was such a waste of his time, he thought that this Large Gold Tooth had some sort of background.


    Ji Jingzhi nodded, holding onto the tea in his mouth, he took a sip and flew away with a good eye.


    Such an unremarkable person, even the Miss Kim was able to take care of him, and now it was the prince''s turn?

 C247

    Jin Weiwei was done preparing, the emerald breakfast just happened to be ready, and only went to the Jin Clan Food Shop after having breakfast with Ji Jingzhi.


    Jin Weiwei specially ordered people to buy two rows of firecrackers. In front of the shop, there were a large number of people surrounding it, it was because Jin Weiwei did flyers like he did in his previous life before he opened his shop, which was why there were so many people.


    "Today is the opening day of the Jin family''s food shop, which sells meat, sausages and rice noodles." Today is the opening day of the Jin family''s food shop, which sells meat, sausages and rice noodles.


    The originally vulgar and watery red color on Jin Weiwei''s body made him look a little elegant and small, if you looked carefully, you would notice that the fabric of Jin Weiwei''s clothes came from the capital''s Ni Chang pavilion, and even the embroidery flowers looked exactly the same as they did in the capital city over a decade ago.


    Ji Jingzhi forced her to change into this set of clothes. Originally, she wanted to wear a red jacket to show off her might, but Ji Jingzhi told her to wear this.


    When the commoners outside heard that the goods in the shop were cheaper than those in other stores, they became excited. Meat and wheat were things that commoners needed. How could they not be excited?


    Pearl sent two of the shop''s workers to ignite the firecrackers, they wanted to go up to protect their wives, but Ji Jingzhi had already hugged her tightly to protect her.


    After the firecrackers finished, Jin Weiwei pushed Ji Jingzhi away with a red face, but this man was growing more and more inattentive.


    After cutting the ribbon, it was finally over. Ji Jingzhi took Jin Weiwei and the others and went straight to the second floor, followed by a large group of people.


    Climbing onto the second floor, Jin Weiwei turned around to see a lively scene, no different than the street markets outside.


    Seeing that he was happy, the corners of Jin Weiwei''s mouth could not help but expand. His hand was held, Jin Weiwei turned his head, and looked at Ji Jingzhi with suspicion: "What''s wrong?"


    "Weiwei, how about we go to Beijing?"


    His woman loved to do business, but he had to go back to the capital.


    "The shop?" "Sure, but not now. When I get to the capital, I might not even have the money to buy a shop."


    A land that was worth every inch of money!


    No money would dare to mess with him?


    Ji Jingzhi frowned: "I''ll give it to you."


    He could give her anything she wanted.


    "What''s the point if you give me everything?"


    Jin Weiwei thought about it carefully and rejected it. He was from the Imperial Family, so it wouldn''t be easy for him either.


    She had fallen into a honeypot, where she met a fool like Ji Jingzhi. Which of the wives of the nobles in the history didn''t belong to either of them?


    As for those who came from ordinary backgrounds, even a side concubine wouldn''t be enough. Even if they reached a high position, they still wouldn''t have a good end. Wei Zifu was a good example.


    She had to become stronger by herself in order to prevent others from finding trouble with Jingzhi and finding her. She didn''t even have the ability to protect herself, right?


    Thinking about it from another position, with Jingzhi helping her, anything would be much easier, but what was the point in life?


    Being born and living, wasn''t that the most important thing?


    Ji Jingzhi let out a heavy sigh from his nose, holding Jin Weiwei''s hand tightly. After thinking about the terrible things that happened in the capital, it was safer for her not to return there.


    "Alright."


    She would be here, and he would be with her.


    "You''ve been talking for so long, yet you''re not going back. "Won''t father be worried?"


    Jin Weiwei slowed down a bit and changed the word. Presumably, her future father-in-law in the capital already knew of her existence.


    Ji Jingzhi was startled for a moment, then immediately revealed a beautiful face, as if she was truly stunned for a long time, and was extremely beautiful.


    Seeing him so happy, Jin Weiwei smiled, lazily leaning on the railing and asked: "I''m already calling you that, when will hubby bring me in?"


    Ji Jingzhi stepped forward and surrounded Jin Weiwei. The two of them were just inches away from each other, and they could feel each other''s warm breathing and breathing.


    The two of them leaned on a pillar, causing Ji Jingzhi to hide most of her body behind it. Jin Weiwei was embarrassed, she finally understood why Ji Jingzhi pulled her here, it was convenient for her to do naughty things.


    "Any time."


    He said in an ambiguous manner as he opened his eyes, causing Jin Weiwei to swallow a mouthful of saliva. I can''t do it anymore ¡­ She couldn''t look anymore. She could see that she was going to commit a crime.


    Her slender fingers weaved in and out of her limpid chin as she kissed it quickly. "It''s just that I haven''t had enough fun with my woman."


    "I''m not playing with you. What if the emperor dislikes you in the future, then what happens to the whole family?" When that time comes, I''ll have to raise you. "


    As she spoke, she threw herself into someone''s embrace. There was no need to look, she already knew that her face was like a monkey''s butt. It was too embarrassing, but she was a modern person ¡­ How can you be shy about this kind of thing...


    Ji Jingzhi dryly slid down his throat, wanting nothing more than to rub the person in his embrace down to his very bones.


    "Weiwei, your arm is healed."


    It was a soft reminder beside his ear. It was clearly an extremely serious tone, but Jin Weiwei could hear the meaning behind it.


    "Enough ¡­" "That''s good."


    Jin Weiwei bit her lips. Two days ago, she was worried that Ji Jingzhi''s arm was only good on the outside, but not on the inside.


    "T-that, accompany me to buy a manor."


    Unable to avoid Ji Jingzhi''s scorching gaze, Jin Weiwei decided to not avoid it and looked straight at him. Little did he know, this time, Ji Jingzhi almost could not hold himself back.


    The current Jin Weiwei had a peach blossom on her face, almonds and water in her eyes. Her pink lips were moving up and down, and she had a bashful and timid look on her face, as if she wanted to invite him to do something.


    "Alright. Today, let''s head back."


    Withdrawing his gaze, he held Jin Weiwei''s hand tightly.


    "Why?"


    Jin Weiwei who was covering his face did not react.


    "Yes, I''m hungry."


    "Then let''s go eat some later."


    "Not now."


    "Alright, I''ve brought some pastries with me. If you''re hungry, you can tell me."


    "..." "Right."


    "..."


    When he found the human tooth shop with Ye City, it was already noon. Jin Weiwei was so hungry that his eyes were blurry. Trouble!


    She finished the pastries she brought with her. Only after she ate did she remember that the man beside her was also hungry, and that he had started to be hungry in the grocery store.


    "hubby, let''s find a place to eat."


    That bit of cake didn''t fill her stomach, so the man beside her must have been starving as well. It was better to eat some rice before going to the Dental Office.


    "Alright."


    Ji Jingzhi''s eyes looked painful, just now he saw that Weiwei did not have much strength left.


    Most of them were small stalls that were used to sell food to the dentists.


    Jin Weiwei pulled Ji Jingzhi to a wonton shop as he stared at the black lacquer stove with a frown.


    "Change locations."


    "Don''t, don''t look at how dark the stove is. The stove in your house is definitely the same. You just have to clean things up. Look at how simple the couple is, don''t you think?"


    He sized up the old couple. After being exposed to the sun for dozens of years, their faces were filled with vicissitudes. However, their hair was meticulously combed. Although their clothes were old, they were still clean.

 C248

    Ji Jingzhi looked at it for a bit longer, then retracted his gaze after seeing the old lady''s hands were washed.


    "Grandma, two bowls of wontons."


    The old lady raised her head and looked at Jin Weiwei a few more times. Her drooping mouth immediately curled into a benevolent smile.


    "Ah, young madam, quickly sit down. There''s a fire over there, it''s been cold for the past two days."


    She was happy to see such a young young madam.


    "Aiyo, old woman, go, go to the wonton bag, who told you to wash the dishes."


    The old man pushed away the old woman who was washing the dishes unhappily, wiping her hands with a dry handkerchief as he lectured.


    "How many times have I told you? It''s getting cold, so stop washing the dishes. When Big Might comes back later, let him wash the dishes. If he can''t, then the old man will wash the dishes. Hurry and roast the dishes."


    The two of them looked over. Jin Weiwei saw that even though the old man had said some words to teach them a lesson, his eyes were filled with pity and helplessness.


    "Dazhuang and his wife are so busy. Why don''t you wash yourselves? I''m too old to move?"


    The old woman was also unhappy, but she couldn''t struggle free from the old man''s hand. Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but laugh.


    "Puff ¡­"


    "What are you laughing at?"


    Ji Jingzhi retracted his gaze and looked at Jin Weiwei.


    "The one who is responsible for holding the hand and living together till the age of an old man. I used to think that it was just a poem, but now, I''ve finally seen it. It truly makes one envious."


    Hearing that, Ji Jingzhi''s eyes grew deeper. Holding Jin Weiwei''s slightly cold hand, he said: "I and Weiwei are the same."


    In other words, he didn''t need to be envious. Thinking about it, Jin Weiwei''s heart was full of happiness, he wanted to ask which girl didn''t want to have such a love.


    "The relationship between the Young Master and Madam is really good."


    Soon, two bowls of wontons were ready. When the old man brought them up, he coincidentally saw the two of them holding hands, so he smiled and said.


    Jin Weiwei embarrassedly retracted his hand, and turned to ask: "Old Gramps, I see that the sky is getting colder and colder, so I think it''s better if I go back early and watch my mother-in-law freeze."


    "I will be back in the afternoon, young madam need not worry."


    After saying that, her blurry eyes were filled with light and beauty, making it hard for people to break it.


    "Lordmaster, are you unfilial or are you unfilial?"


    It was such a cold day, yet he was still setting up a stall outside at such an age. It was hard for people not to guess.


    It''s just that this old woman wants to show off. Speaking of which, the first time I met this old woman was when she set up this wonton stall. I saw her at that time and saw that she was pretty, so I sat down to eat a bowl of wontons and married her.


    As he said that, a smile and happiness appeared on his face that made Jin Weiwei envious.


    "Old man!" A guest has arrived! "


    Jin Weiwei came back to reality and saw Ji Jingzhi. When he saw Ji Jingzhi looking at him, he suddenly reacted to what had happened this morning.


    She suddenly couldn''t help but laugh. She herself was leading such a life, so why did she have to be envious of others?


    The two of them ate wontons on a snowy day and a hot stove.


    Just like this, when it was time to pay, Jin Weiwei actually could not bear to part with her. So happy.


    He picked a tooth shop and entered, coincidentally, the Large Gold Tooth was there as well.


    Seeing him, Jin Weiwei wanted to pull Ji Jingzhi and leave, but the Large Gold Tooth stopped them.


    "Yo, I was wondering who it was. So it was the one who hit my grandson yesterday. Your elder has yet to settle the score with you, why are you running away!"


    Ji Jingzhi''s eyes turned cold, and he pulled Jin Weiwei behind him.


    "This is the Ye City, there will be patrolling yamen runners from time to time. If you dare to touch one of us, try."


    She must have stepped on dog shit when she went out today, to meet such a person with a mouth full of shit!


    "Heh, young madam, why aren''t you rushing forward so you can''t hurt this young madam!"


    It was good that the two of them came out alone today, so he wasn''t afraid.


    Jin Weiwei pursed his lips. Was this guy a fool? Yesterday, they dared to take care of him, so they weren''t afraid of him. Today, they even delivered themselves to his doorstep, either because he had too much background or because he was a fool.


    Those people who surrounded them were obviously thugs, Jin Weiwei looked at Ji Jingzhi worriedly, wondering if Jingzhi had brought anyone over, these people looked big and strong, was Jingzhi hurt?


    Who knew that in just a few blinks of an eye, Ji Jingzhi''s beautiful movements had already caused those big and tall people to lie on the ground.


    Jin Weiwei suddenly had stars in her eyes. Her hubby was so powerful.


    Large Gold Tooth was stunned, in a moment, Ji Jingzhi was already in front of him, and before he could react, she kicked him, pressing him down on a table.


    "I''ll tell you! In this Ye City, you can''t offend anyone ¡­! "Don''t!"


    Just as Large Gold Tooth was blabbering, a blade with a cold light touched Large Gold Tooth''s face and was stabbed into the table.


    "Don''t! I won''t cause you any more trouble, don''t! "Ahhh!"


    Ji Jingzhi started killing intent, Large Gold Tooth could clearly feel that he was scared to the point that he was about to piss his pants.


    Ji Jingzhi coldly looked at him, and using a bit of force on her wrist, the entire dentition made a pig-like sound.


    Jin Weiwei was so frightened that he covered his eyes, but he still saw Large Gold Tooth covering his ears through the gaps of his hands, with dark red blood flowing out.


    When he looked again, he saw that Ji Jingzhi''s ear had been cut off and it even twitched twice.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but cover his ears, it hurt so much.


    "This ¡­ this lord, look at me. This is just a small facade. This is not something that we can do to offend others."


    The boss of the tooth shop was finally pulled back to reality by Large Gold Tooth''s pig call as he shook his face and tried to persuade her.


    He had traveled far and wide for so many years, and had just seen that Large Gold Tooth was not to be trifled with. Furthermore, this young couple didn''t seem to have any background, who would have known that this Young Master would actually be such a ruthless person?


    Jin Weiwei went over to Ji Jingzhi''s side and looked at the Fang Xing Boss''s uncontrollable expression. He felt it was kind of funny, he did not try to persuade him earlier, but now he had come to persuade him.


    Ji Jingzhi threw the dagger outside the door and came back with Jin Weiwei. Just as he was about to leave, the boss of the shop came up and stopped the two with a smile.


    "Young master, young mistress, please forgive me for offending you, but I was blind not to recognize you. Do you want to buy a house or a house? This little one has everything, and it can be said that my house doesn''t exist on the streets."


    Seeing this fawning face, Jin Weiwei was slightly more interested. Just now, he was a little afraid in his eyes, but it was towards Jingzhi, not the Large Gold Tooth, and now that he was trying to sell it as if nothing had happened, his mind became stronger.


    Ji Jingzhi swept a glance at him, then looked at Jin Weiwei.


    "hubby and I want to buy a manor. Shanduo, it''s best if Tian Duo has more rooms. I wonder if boss has any recommendations?"


    She knew what Jingzhi meant, wasn''t he looking down on her?


    But how many good things were there in this shop?


    Which one should I buy?


    Seeing that there was a chance, the rich smile on the boss'' face disappeared without a trace.


    He could tell that the young madam was in charge of these two people, then things would be easy.


    "Madam, yes, there are all kinds of them. Please come take a look at the title deed and introduction, and look at a few suitable ones. I''ll bring you guys to take a look."

 C249

    The two of them looked at three places. The teeth shop owner''s mouth was slippery, making Jin Weiwei very happy, but he was not duped. He picked three places very seriously.


    Then, in the afternoon, he had the boss of the tooth shop bring two people to walk around these three places, making Jin Weiwei feel extremely cold.


    Jin Weiwei took a look at it and used it as a workshop to stay in. The most important thing was that this Villa Tian had many medicinal fields as well as a pool of water.


    The only thing that was left was the normal small farmyard that could be used to stay in the tenants to farm land. Thus, Jin Weiwei bought about a dozen workers at the boss''s house to let them plant potatoes first. She had to sell them in the coming year.


    Thus, just like that, Jin Weiwei spent around four thousand gold, making her feel heartache for him.


    The market price of Ye City was indeed higher than that of Lishui County, it was much more expensive than that. It seemed like she had to work harder to earn money, how could the money in her pocket be enough?


    By the time he got back to the mansion, it was already dark.


    Jin Weiwei looked at the big pendulum clock he bought from Wonder House, and realized that it was actually only around six in the afternoon. It was winter time to eat, so it was dark early in the morning.


    Jin Weiwei wanted to make dinner herself. On the way back, she would always think of that old couple who looked so blissful, and that made her heart ache for money, which eased her mood a lot.


    "This manor is under the name of my wife, but my wife still doesn''t know how to restrain herself. In my opinion, there will come a day when my lord will loathe my wife. After all, the name of this Jin Mansion is in my name."


    Just as she reached the entrance of the kitchen, Jin Weiwei stopped in her tracks. Hearing her words, Jin Weiwei''s face turned cold, she could tell that it was the old granny from that day.


    When the two girls heard this, their expressions immediately changed. They were extremely angry. How could these people make things up when a lady was so good!


    "Are you not angry, madame?"


    Jadeite angrily asked. His wife had always been on good terms with him from the Lishui County. How could she be separated from him with just a few words from these people!


    Jin Weiwei raised her hand to show that she wanted to hear what else this woman had to say.


    "Yes, mama is right. But, it''s still mama who decides this family. It''s better if mama not to say such words that are in the ears."


    Another voice came out, sounding sweet and charming. If it was a man, he would also like it.


    Jin Weiwei smiled coldly, things that she did not consider before now emerged out of her mouth.


    In the past, she did not expect herself to travel so far away from Ji Jingzhi, so she would naturally not consider such things.


    There was no helping it, her man was very outstanding. In this day and age, he would naturally look down on girls. Even if his family fortune was earned by girls, it could only be counted as that of a man, because this woman belonged to this man.


    This was not how she was "considered".


    If things continued like this, there would be more people who would stop thinking about things. She hadn''t read many of her house novels, and she had also read quite a few of them.


    As expected, the events that happened in the next second proved her thoughts.


    "Oh! Peach Blossom, mama, you have a good figure and looks no worse than missus. It''s better to be an aunt than a girl, don''t you think ¡­"


    "Senior ¡­"


    Tsk tsk, such a shy and timid voice!


    Does the plot have to develop so quickly!


    Jin Weiwei restrained himself from wanting to kill the two of them. Although the girl didn''t say anything, she could tell with a woman''s intuition that the girl had thoughts. Damn it, if she wanted to steal her man, she had to see if she had the qualifications!


    He turned around and brought the two girls away. After walking for a long distance, Jin Weiwei suddenly turned around, and almost collided with the two resentful girls.


    "The two of you go to the big kitchen and tell the madam and the lord that they need to celebrate properly. Let them make a wall and come out, and also ask for Jinling''s flaky ducks to be carried up within four hours. If they can''t, let them handle it themselves."


    The two of them were stunned, it was only when Jin Weiwei left that they regained their senses, the two of them had a look of ecstasy on their faces.


    This jumping wall required three to four hours, how could it be possible to do it in four hours?


    Originally, Jin Weiwei was not angry, but the moment he returned to his courtyard and saw Ji Jingzhi, he became angry.


    In the past, this person had always been pleasing to the eye, but now, just a single glance at him was enough to infuriate him.


    "What is it? You don''t want to cook anymore? "


    Ji Jingzhi sensed a shadow at the door and looked up, startled.


    He looked, why was there killing intent in Weiwei''s eyes.


    "Humph!"


    With a cold snort, Jin Weiwei turned around and walked out.


    Ji Jingzhi had a baffled expression as he followed.


    "Weiwei."


    Looking for Jin Weiwei on the stone table, Ji Jingzhi went over and sat down. Unexpectedly, Jin Weiwei got up and sat opposite of him.


    How could she forget that the people in this mansion were all "carefully selected" by her hubby!


    "What''s wrong?"


    Ji Jingzhi frowned, he looked up, and suddenly walked in front of him, tugging at his face: "Are you saying that you''re ugly?"


    With how beautiful she looked, it didn''t matter if she had the ability or not, someone would still snatch it away.


    took the opportunity to kiss her. Her deep eyes were filled with suspicion: "What''s wrong with me?"


    Jin Weiwei retracted his hand, but his mood was much better now, and said: "I''m fine."


    "What''s going on?"


    Ji Jingzhi frowned, the two of them were in each other''s embrace, Weiwei was not easily angered, someone must have offended her.


    Jin Weiwei raised his eyebrows, and rolled his eyes twice before saying: "If I become especially unruly and domineering later on, will you be angry?"


    She was determined to take care of those two servants today, not counting the master of the discussion behind her back. She didn''t care about her background, but she was going to give the two of them a chance to commit a crime later. If they didn''t offend her, she would let them go, but if they did, then she would take care of them.


    She, Jin Weiwei, did not have the habit of rubbing sand in her eyes.


    "Nope."


    Ji Jingzhi earnestly shook his head. No matter what Weiwei looked like, he was still his Weiwei.


    "Then cooperate with me in a while."


    Jin Weiwei showed her her face, as she now looked at Ji Jingzhi in a pleasing manner.


    Although Ji Jingzhi was suspicious, he still nodded.


    Seeing that, Jin Weiwei was happy, and only wanted Jingzhi to cooperate.


    Four hours later.


    The head of the large kitchen, the mama was the mama that Jin Weiwei had heard talking from the door. She led the way up with a bitter face and a group of trembling little girls followed behind her.


    Jin Weiwei looked over and saw a girl who could be considered beautiful standing behind this woman.


    Withdrawing his gaze, he sat beside Ji Jingzhi in a dignified manner.


    "Madam, the jumping wall that you want is only this much time! This old servant really can''t do it!"


    Jin Weiwei''s eyebrow jumped, this woman was actually kneeling in front of her!


    Powerful!


    He had to make the first move!


    "Oh? Can''t do it? "Why didn''t you tell me when I told the little girl to go and tell her what to do?"


    This was the chance she had given to this old woman. It was a pity that everyone was a lowly person and didn''t know how to cherish them.


    When she heard that Madam was from the countryside, she thought that she definitely didn''t know the rules. She didn''t expect her to be so agile.

 C250

    "Madam, I ¡­"


    "Or do you people in the kitchen think that I don''t even know these rules? So you intentionally bullied me? "


    Jin Weiwei sneered, he looked at the girls kneeling on the ground, then glanced at the servants in the courtyard, seeing that their heads were lowered, the anger in his heart inexplicably rose.


    This group of snobbish people!


    She must have just arrived, and everyone was watching her as she made a fool of herself. Or could it be that everyone was hoping that she would be disappointed in front of Ji Jingzhi?


    The old granny sneaked a peek at Ji Jingzhi and discovered that his expression and eyes were extremely cold. Her heart immediately trembled and cold sweat dripped down her body.


    No matter what, Madam Ye was still a master and a servant. Even if she looked down on her master, she couldn''t bring herself to bully him. How could she continue to work in other houses in the future?


    "Madam, please enlighten me!" This servant definitely does not have such thoughts. Madam has just arrived at the mansion, and as the head of the large kitchen, I wanted to do things properly, so I did not report to Madam.


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes became colder and colder. Even now, this woman was still quibbling, still shirking her responsibilities, and still looking down on her!


    What the f * ck!


    If a tiger didn''t show off his might, he would become her sickly cat, right?


    "Oh? Momo is the head of the large kitchen. Naturally, she knows how to make a dish and what hours it will take. Momo, don''t tell me you don''t know how to cook. "


    Just as the old granny was about to admit it, she looked up and saw Jin Weiwei''s faint smile and felt her entire body go cold. She had underestimated Jin Weiwei, and had been extremely underestimating him.


    "Please forgive this old servant for covering my heart with pig fat, this old servant is despicable, please forgive this old servant''s life!"


    Her reaction was fast, but she, Jin Weiwei, would never give anyone a second chance! If she didn''t stop this old mama today, the people in the manor would only think that she was a soft-hearted person. Such a thing would happen again in the future!


    "Spare you? Do you want everyone in the household to follow your lead or what? "


    The old granny paused for a second, her eyes filled with hatred as she crawled in front of Ji Jingzhi, "Master, this old servant was really blind in my heart. Master, please spare this old servant. "


    This girl really thought of herself as a spring onion. To be so domineering in front of a man, who would like her?


    Unfortunately, she was wrong.


    Ji Jingzhi frowned as he looked at Jin Weiwei, and said. "If there''s anyone in the Palace who doesn''t like them, you can just say so."


    The surrounding maidservants were all surprised. Normally, when the old master was in front of them, he wouldn''t even bother to say a word ¡­


    Jin Weiwei nodded and looked at the pearl: "Tomorrow morning, I will go find the granny broker and sell her off. For the next two days, you will be the one in charge of the big kitchen."


    "No!" My lady! "No!"


    Pearl had a face full of satisfaction. It was precisely this kind of aura that a matriarch should have, in case any kind of servant dared to climb onto her master''s head.


    Pearl frowned and signaled the two guards to leave.


    "Cover your mouth to prevent trouble from our masters."


    Looking at the powerful appearance of the Pearl''s Eldest Servant Girl, she was a little scared. Then, she thought about it, Jin Weiwei finally understood again, the look Pearl had now must have been trained to look like a stammer.


    Fortunately, Jingzhi had the foresight to do things this way. The people here all signed the death contract, even if they wanted to die, the officials would not care about it.


    "He should have been killed."


    Just as Jin Weiwei was deep in thought, Ji Jingzhi suddenly said this. It was extremely cold and caused Jin Weiwei to shiver uncontrollably.


    Jin Weiwei raised his head, looked at Ji Jingzhi and sat down on the table, feeling that she was being too merciful today.


    "There''s no need. It''s not like she did anything wicked."


    Jin Weiwei did not know about this matter, but the conversation between the two seemed like it was a common occurrence. The two did not feel anything amiss, but the servants around them could tell what was going on.


    Madam was a compassionate person, but the old master wasn''t. Anyone who did something wrong wouldn''t end up like the old mama. They would all immediately serve her with utmost seriousness.


    Jin Weiwei suddenly stood up and sat across from Ji Jingzhi. Ji Jingzhi raised her head in confusion.


    "Emerald, come, cough, give me some food."


    Just as Jin Weiwei picked up the chopsticks, she put them down again. Looking at the emerald beside her, she felt a little embarrassed that it was the first time someone had ordered her to serve food.


    However ¡­ Jin Weiwei looked in the direction of the heart from the corner of her eyes, and then she suppressed the embarrassment she felt. She had specially ordered a large group of servants to watch her and Jingzhi eat dinner, all for the sake of establishing rules.


    She should have been like this a long time ago. Normally, when she and Pearl were at the Palace, wouldn''t they hear some rumors and rumors?


    He said that she came from a country and didn''t know the rules. Even when eating, she had to serve the old master.


    They had also reasoned before that the Madam didn''t want to serve the Old Master. She hated the fact that so many people were watching her eat; her appetite was not good and she couldn''t let go.


    "What, you guys are so blind?" Why aren''t you treating the old master to a meal? "


    Jin Weiwei looked at the servants who brought the food over. She had just caused trouble for them and they had not left yet.


    The girl called Tao Xin looked at Jin Weiwei quickly, then walked up to the two of them and said: "I am Tao Xin, and am here to accompany old master to eat."


    Usually, Ji Jingzhi did not arrange for the servants and attendant s to serve him, but Jin Weiwei felt that the men by his side would serve him better than the women. Furthermore, Little Rich Son had a special identity, so he would definitely have some special things in his study, so it was inconvenient to arrange for people.


    Perhaps, she thought, this person who had also been made jealous and harsh of her, someone who even the head of the family wasn''t assigned to serve?


    Ji Jingzhi nodded his head, and looked at the heart, seeing that the lady was rather obedient, and a bit shy when she met his eyes, he knew what she meant.


    Her gaze couldn''t help but turn cold. No wonder she was so angry today.


    Jin Weiwei raised her eyebrows. Ignoring the look on her face, she only allowed Jadeite to pick up the dishes she liked. Until now, she only needed to see Ji Jingzhi''s intentions.


    Halfway through the meal, Ji Jingzhi suddenly put down her chopsticks, causing the servant Tao Xin to jump in fright, her face turning pale white: "Old, old master, servant, did I pick up the wrong dishes?"


    Jin Weiwei looked up and realized that Ji Jingzhi''s face was frighteningly cold, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, she had thought that Ji Jingzhi was planning to let this girl go.


    "Go out and kneel."


    As if a layer of frost had formed on Ji Jingzhi''s face, he commanded coldly.


    Tao Xin immediately knelt down. Her petite body continued to tremble, making her look very pitiful.


    "Master, what did this servant do wrong?" If the food is not to the old master''s liking, this servant will immediately change it. "


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but shiver and rub the back of her hands. Oh my, her goosebumps are all raised up.

 C251

    In an instant, the table fell into silence, and only the sound of Jin Weiwei happily chewing his food was exceptionally abrupt.


    Ji Jingzhi looked at Jin Weiwei, and said: "If you want this wife to punish you, just wait."


    Jin Weiwei looked up and saw the anger in Ji Jingzhi''s eyes.


    With this, the table became truly silent. Peach Heart seemed to have thought of something and her body trembled even more violently as she disappeared in front of the two of them.


    It''s cold outside...


    Jin Weiwei suddenly felt that the food in her mouth was like chewing on wax. She wanted to send this outer court disciple out as a coxcomb.


    She only found out about someone''s ruthlessness today ¡­ He turned his head and looked outside. In the snowy night, there was a faint shadow floating about. Was it cold?


    While she was lost in her thoughts, a certain someone had already put down his chopsticks and was staring fixedly at her.


    "I''m full."


    Then... And then into the inner room?


    Jin Weiwei embarrassedly touched his nose. It''s over, how am I supposed to coax them like this?


    "Clean it up."


    She no longer had any appetite. She didn''t even know what she ate today.


    "Madam, do you want this servant to take a look?"


    Pearl stepped forward cautiously. She didn''t seem very happy to see the old master.


    Jin Weiwei suddenly laughed, and shook his head, and said: "Bring some hot water and bathe yourself. Come over, I''ll tell you ¡­."


    She knew how to coax.


    A cry that belonged solely to Ye came from the window. The book in Ji Jingzhi''s hand did not even flip a page in two or three minutes, and his expression became more and more heavy.


    Ah!


    Suddenly, a terrified scream came out of the courtyard. Ji Jingzhi got up quickly, to the point that only his afterimage was left in the room.


    Jin Weiwei''s face was pale white as he held onto his leg beside the bath barrel. The real thing was done...


    She had wanted to pretend to fall, but who knew she would actually fall? She had even sprained her ankle ¡­ It hurts.


    Just when she wanted to call for help, she remembered that the people in the courtyard had been sent away by her. She did not know if Ji Jingzhi heard them or not.


    Even if he heard, he didn''t know if he would come.


    Just as he was thinking, the door suddenly opened, taking a risk and freezing Jin Weiwei alive.


    His vision dimmed, and a set of clothes draped over his body. His warm chest was pressed against his chest, and it felt as though a ball of fire was burning hot inside.


    Suddenly, Jin Weiwei''s face turned pale.


    "Pain ¡­"


    Tears welled up in the corner of Jin Weiwei''s eyes. He raised his head and looked at Ji Jingzhi, pitiful beyond belief.


    Ji Jingzhi''s expression turned even colder as he hugged her closer to his chest.


    "Bear with it."


    "Yes."


    Jin Weiwei turned her head and threw her into Ji Jingzhi''s embrace. She had just tried to move a little, and it was so painful that she died.


    Ah!" "It hurts!


    Suddenly, after a series of cracking sounds, her tears burst out, and an aching feeling spread throughout Jin Weiwei''s legs, grabbing onto Ji Jingzhi''s clothes in front of his chest, she could not help but curse.


    "Ji Jingzhi, you bastard."


    After the pain had passed, his ankle no longer throbbed with pain, but Jin Weiwei could not help but scold him.


    The response was a hug, a tight hug.


    "Weiwei, where are your clothes?"


    As his breathing grew heavier, Jin Weiwei''s face flushed red. Only then did she realize what she wanted to do.


    "..." Jane, the pearl has not yet been brought. "


    As she spoke, she changed the hand that was supporting Ji Jingzhi''s chest into a hug, and changed the clothes on her body to... It seemed like it was gone ¡­


    Weren''t you still wearing it just now?


    She ¡­ Had she fallen into a trap?


    "No need to take it."


    The clothes that had disappeared suddenly appeared again, covering Jin Weiwei''s body, and was carried by him into the room.


    Jin Weiwei wanted to cry, but no tears came out. She seemed to have done something extraordinary.


    She sent the person flying, then tried to pretend to fall, then tried to scheme against Ji Jingzhi.


    That''s right!


    It was her who was plotting against Ji Jingzhi, but why was it Ji Jingzhi who was plotting against her?


    As he thought of it, Jin Weiwei had already been placed on the bed, separated by only a piece of clothes.


    Someone took the opportunity to press down on him. Jin Weiwei blinked, and her heart seemed to be about to stop ¡­ No, it was too fast. It was as if he hadn''t jumped at all.


    "Wei ¡­" "Hm."


    Jin Weiwei blinked for a moment, then suddenly hugged Ji Jingzhi and kissed him. She had long coveted the knife engraved chin, the pursed lips, and the chest that made the woman yearn for it.


    Ji Jingzhi''s ears were suddenly red, but his hands did not have the slightest trace of shyness. The only layer of clothing that was separated by was pulled away.


    Jin Weiwei, however, did not feel cold. She could feel his heat even through her clothes.


    Jin Weiwei was obviously impatient, he directly reached into someone''s belt and pulled it off, this time, Ji Jingzhi did not know what to do.


    "Weiwei, before ¡­"


    Jin Weiwei''s slightly red face was filled with shyness and excitement. She knew what he wanted to ask, so she approached Ji Jingzhi and said a few words. When she turned around, she saw Ji Jingzhi''s even redder eyes and hurried breathing, and suddenly felt that it was funny.


    However, Ji Jingzhi did not give her the chance to do so.


    "To think that there would be such a wondrous thing in the world."


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei laughed even more. This kind of thing, in the modern world, was normal.


    "..."


    The next day, Jin Weiwei felt that her waist was extremely sore, and after tormenting herself for half a night, it was not good for her to beg for forgiveness. She turned into a wolf and ate her whole body.


    Bewildered, single, slippery, with a hint of roughness. Um ¡­ It''s a man''s skin.


    "Stop touching it."


    A hand hugged her waist tightly, as a heavy breath was exhaled onto Jin Weiwei''s neck.


    Jin Weiwei suddenly realised that she was not wearing any clothes, what should he do?


    After being stunned for a few seconds, Jin Weiwei suddenly jumped into Ji Jingzhi''s embrace. Oh my god, how embarrassing ¡­


    "Weiwei..."


    Someone''s voice had become hoarse, and Jin Weiwei could clearly feel someone had gotten up from underneath him.


    With an extremely fast speed, Jin Weiwei crawled back up, revealing half of his face that was as bashful as pig liver.


    "We still have matters to attend to today ¡­"


    Someone shamelessly hugged her from behind and rubbed her shoulder like a puppy.


    "Early."


    "Don''t, we were really tired last night ¡­"


    What she said was the truth. Her waist was still sore, and her lower part was hurting ¡­


    "Alright."


    Ji Jingzhi sighed lightly and put the clothes on Jin Weiwei''s body.


    After a morning of no shame, the relationship between the two of them advanced even further.


    In the past, when they looked like pearls and jadeite, they looked very sweet. But now, goosebumps appeared on their skin.


    In the morning, Ji Jingzhi did not let go of Jin Weiwei''s hands. From time to time, he would whisper something into Jin Weiwei''s ear, making Jin Weiwei feel extremely embarrassed.


    Mo Feng and the others who were watching from the back were dumbstruck.


    "Could the prince have been swapped? Why does it sound like a hooligan on the street? "


    Mo Ba rolled his eyes as he asked this question seven or eight times in the morning.


    "You''ll know when you have a woman."


    It was the first time for the prince to have sex in twenty years. They were also beloved women, how could they not be disgusted?

 C252

    After using breakfast, Ji Jingzhi was still sticking to Jin Weiwei. The people in the Palace were almost numb, and so was Jin Weiwei. At the beginning, Jin Weiwei was a little shy. After a few rounds, he was already used to Ji Jingzhi''s way of sticking to people.


    But... When would Ji Jingzhi move his hands away?! He still had to go into business.


    [What the heck, what''s the point of being addicted to it?]


    Jin Weiwei looked at Ji Jingzhi in displeasure. Ji Jingzhi blinked and tightened his grip on Jin Weiwei''s waist.


    "Don''t leave me."


    Jin Weiwei clenched his fists. Looking at Ji Jingzhi''s handsome face, he still did not move. Sigh, could it be that I have a screw loose? Why did I have to find such a useless fool? Stupid, stupid.


    "I''m going to the Chamber of Commerce." Jin Weiwei tried his best to relax his emotions, to prevent himself from punching this fellow in the face out of anger.


    "Alright, I''ll go with you. I''ll protect you."


    Ji Jingzhi''s warm breath was let out and fell beside his ears. Jin Weiwei was blown until he felt itchy, and quickly turned his head to the side. F * ck, this beauty dressed in ancient clothes really knows how to seduce people.


    A blush appeared on Jin Weiwei''s face, and she looked rather mischievous.


    "Leave it at home, don''t leave it outside." She still did not trust Ji Jingzhi. If she were to kiss me like this outside, wouldn''t she be crazy?


    "Alright." Ji Jingzhi lovingly stroked Jin Weiwei''s little head, and before the second that Jin Weiwei''s hair stood on end, he tactfully moved his hand away.


    Jin Weiwei looked at Ji Jingzhi in rebuke. Did he really want to beat him up?


    Ji Jingzhi looked at Jin Weiwei''s expression while laughing. A smile appeared on her beautiful face.


    "Let''s go." Jin Weiwei resigned to his fate and sighed. Holding onto Ji Jingzhi''s slightly rough hands, he walked out of the residence and rushed straight towards the merchant guild.


    Jin Weiwei had just come out, and struggled free of his claws. The two of them walked in a line, keeping a certain distance between each other.


    Suddenly, Jin Weiwei stopped in his tracks, because he did not have the time to pull back his leg. The two of them looked rather dubious.


    Jin Weiwei lifted her skirt and ran into the alley to the side.


    Perhaps it was because there were no people living nearby, but there were many flowers and plants growing on both sides of the road. There were also plum trees growing from the houses, and the fragrance of flowers permeated the air, attracting many butterflies and flowers.


    Jin Weiwei ran into the small alley, picked the flowers and put them on his head as he chased after the butterflies.


    Ji Jingzhi saw that Jin Weiwei was playing happily, and his mood became a lot happier. Ji Jingzhi took a Xiao Mo from his waist and blew on it. The sound of the flute was long and lingering, lingering down to the bone, causing one to feel relaxed and happy.


    Hearing the moving flute music, Jin Weiwei danced happily.


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but start dancing in modern times. In the past, she couldn''t bear it anymore and wanted to lose weight, so she had learned this before.


    "Second move, third move ¡­"


    The flower butterflies seemed to be dancing with Jin Weiwei, waving their wings and dancing with her. Accompanied by Jin Weiwei''s dance in the plaza, she looked a little happy.


    Only after a long while did Jin Weiwei stop. At this moment, her charming little face had a tinge of scarlet on it. She panted heavily, completely disregarding the appearance of a lady from a noble family.


    That''s right, Jin Weiwei was a village woman after all.


    Seeing that, Ji Jingzhi laughed involuntarily, his wife was truly different from the others. The other girls didn''t dare to do such a crude action. Even if they were yawning or gasping for breath, they would use their sleeves to cover their mouths to prevent others from seeing it. On the other hand, Jin Weiwei actually made such a casual move.


    "I haven''t exercised in a long time. I''m so tired." Jin Weiwei was not reserved at all, with his hands on his hips, he gasped for breath.


    "What are you waiting for? Let''s go." What do I do if I delay earning money? "


    When Jin Weiwei thought about the wealth that the Chamber of Commerce had brought him, his eyes shone with a gold light. Seeing such a blissful expression, Ji Jingzhi felt extremely comfortable in his heart.


    Thinking about it, Jin Weiwei quickly dragged Ji Jingzhi to his own store. What a joke. What if he made less money because he was too late?


    Jin Weiwei''s pace was fast, and before long, he dragged Ji Jingzhi to the front of the store. When the servants saw this, they respectfully called out, "Master, Madam."


    Tao Xiaoqing''s face was also filled with joy, he understood Jin Weiwei, and knew that as long as Jin Weiwei revealed such a greedy expression, the store would change greatly. Right now, Jin Weiwei must have thought of a good idea.


    However, Jin Weiwei was not afraid, because she already had a plan. The current her wanted to recruit a group of peddlers.


    Ji Jingzhi waved his hands, the Spirit Qi around his body assaulted his nose, giving people the feeling that they wanted to submit. Seeing that, Jin Weiwei curled his lips, this guy only knew how to act pretentious, this morning he was acting like a dog skin plaster. But now, he had to pretend that he was really lucky to have the tiger man.


    Jin Weiwei looked up. Quite a few customers were shopping here, so it could be said that they were doing quite a bit.


    However, there were many good merchants in the Chamber of Commerce, so the competition was quite intense. If he did not find a proper way to stabilize his position in the Chamber of Commerce, one day, he would be stepped on by other merchants.


    Jin Weiwei had been grinded by the employees, and now, she was going to write her own idea on a piece of paper.


    Jin Weiwei walked over and sat down on a chair in front of the table. With a wave of her brush, she wrote down the various benefits she would receive when she moved into a new residence. This sort of thing was simply too easy for her. She didn''t need to deal with it too easily.


    "Stick it on the signboard and put the signboard outside."


    He saw that the words on the signboard were bold and crude. These words unexpectedly exuded a vast and imposing aura. If an unknown person were to pass by, he or she would definitely think that it was the work of an expert who had hidden himself within the mountains.


    The content above told everyone that the peddlers who rented her room on the second floor would be of some help. For example, they wouldn''t let anyone find fault with them, they would help them with the money.


    When Ji Jingzhi saw these few big words written by Jin Weiwei, he wanted to laugh for some reason, but he did not want Jin Weiwei to explode. He did not want to ignite the oil barrel.


    Tao Xiaoqing looked at the few lines of words, then opened and closed his lips, releasing these words. He scratched his head and asked Jin Weiwei with some doubt: "Elder sister, why did you do this? And he still has to help out, is it all thanks to that? "


    Jin Weiwei waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, this is not a loss at all. Think about it, although they are doing business and won''t give us the money. But the source will give us a lot. If their customers wanted to buy their stuff, they would have to pass by the first floor, wouldn''t they? If they passed by, they might be able to buy it. "When the time comes, we will earn a lot of silver again."


    Tao Xiaoqing nodded. Hearing Jin Weiwei''s words, his eyes lit up. He thought to himself: That''s a good idea. Not only is elder sister good, but she is also smart. No wonder she is able to gain a foothold among so many merchants.


    Jin Weiwei looked at the gradually gathering crowd in front of his signboard and laughed with satisfaction. Very good, the next thing he had been waiting for was for the peddlers to enter.


    Seeing that, Ji Jingzhi poured some green tea for Jin Weiwei, blew on it lovingly, and passed it to him. Jin Weiwei received the tea, and felt bored. When Ji Jingzhi saw this scene, his veins started popping out.

 C253

    Very quickly, news of this matter had spread, and most of the people in the county already knew that Jin Weiwei''s shop was renting space, and even promised many benefits.


    However, no one could understand why she was doing this, so everyone was very curious.


    Although there weren''t many people in the county, there were still some large families.


    Because once they found out that there was such a good thing, their eyes would light up, so they all wanted to know the reason, and why such a thing happened. However, she didn''t know what Jin Weiwei was thinking, but no one could understand.


    The news spread far and wide and it didn''t take long for it to reach Gongsun Minzhi''s ears.


    After hearing the servant''s report on this matter, Gongsun Minzhi thought about it, yet did not understand what Jin Weiwei was thinking.


    With a maid bringing candied fruits and candied fruits for Gongsun Minzhi, Gongsun Minzhi ate with gusto, feeling the taste of honey in his mouth, Gongsun Minzhi smiled. Although she was already over fifty years old, she had meticulously taken care of her face.


    "Tell me, what are Jin Weiwei''s intentions?" Gongsun Minzhi was eating the candied fruits, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.


    He already knew that her business was doing very well, and now that so many things had happened, he didn''t know what she was up to.


    "This servant doesn''t know." The maid that was serving behind Gongsun Minzhi said anxiously, as panic surfaced on her face. His master had asked him a question, but he couldn''t answer it. According to Master''s temper, he should be blamed, right?


    Thinking of this, the maid hurriedly knelt on the ground, "This servant is ignorant and asks master to atone for his sins."


    Gongsun Minzhi frowned, a few wrinkles appearing on her face, causing her face to look less beautiful.


    "Forget it, get up. It''s not like I want to punish you."


    When the maid heard this, she was overjoyed. "Thank you master! Thank you master!"


    Gongsun Minzhi looked at the Grand Master, thinking that the Grand Master was intelligent, and should be able to come up with an idea, "I feel that although Jin Weiwei doesn''t look very old, his intelligence and intellect far exceeds half of a person''s. There was definitely a reason why she was using this method to rent. "But what reason should I have to look at it?"


    When the Master, who was standing beside Gongsun Minzhi, saw her frown, he felt a little apologetic.


    Master, if you really want to know, what secrets are hidden, we can go take a look, and then we can find out what is going on. If it''s inconvenient, we can find someone to sneak in, and see what Jin Weiwei has done.


    It was due to some reasons that Gongsun Minzhi was able to go over to have a look, but the idea that the Grand Master suggested was not bad, he could find a person to pretend that he was going over to see what was going on.


    This way, even if there was something, he would be the first to know, so he agreed to Grand Master''s request. He also wanted her to find someone to deal with this matter as soon as possible.


    The Master had always been Gongsun Minzhi''s right-hand man, so he was very recognized. Whenever he was in trouble, he would give a few rotten ideas, but they were all useful to him.


    It seemed that all the nobles were interested in this strange girl, Jin Weiwei. Coincidentally, he had also thought of a method, which allowed him to infiltrate the Golden Record Shop to find out the truth.


    In truth, Jin Wei''e didn''t think too much about it. He just wanted to make his store better and better, so he always thought of a way to make the business in the shop more efficient.


    Thinking about it, Jin Weiwei had started off growing from an unremarkable meat store in the village, step by step. Now that he was considered the number one figure in the merchant guild in the county, it could be seen how quick-witted he was.


    Although there were a few shops like this in the county, every one of them were fighting openly and secretly. If one wanted to make their own business grow bigger and bigger, then one must use their brain to think of some way to attract people''s attention, at the same time making them trust them, and at the same time giving them an additional safeguard.


    All the people who had made the arrangements to enter had successfully arrived at this shop. They too began to search for the answer they wanted and reported it to their owner. These were all business opportunities.


    Jin Weiwei was a very optimistic girl, and her culinary skills were excellent as well. As long as she was alone in the shop, she would probably become very popular, but this simplicity was not enough. After all, she was a very strong girl, so no matter what she did, it would be perfect.


    This was because only by constantly improving himself, would he be able to live a good life. Moreover, this store had also given him all the hard work and sweat, so he absolutely could not destroy it in his hands.


    Many of these shops were indeed as Jin Weiwei had expected, so in the future, her business would be even better than before.


    Not only that, but his life had also improved, and his business was especially stable. Her Little Rich Son, on the other hand, was sticking to her more and more. These days, his life was as comfortable as it could get.


    Everything was good, but Jin Weiwei was not easily satisfied. From the bottom of her heart, she felt that what she had gained was far from enough, because she always wanted to do more than others, but after all, these things required a lot of effort to think. She did not know what else she could do to make her business more stable.


    As a result, when Jin Weiwei saw that his business was doing so well, he felt pleased with himself in his heart. It was because he had always walked over step by step and was the witness to everything. To plough and plough, this was what she deserved. She still had to work hard and earn more money.


    During these few days of leisure, Jin Weiwei was constantly thinking about how he should go do business. Because, at present, they could only rely on their own benefits to only maintain stability, but not increase its value day by day.


    Nowadays, business was not so easy to do. Sometimes, a few stores would compete for it, so they had to come up with some innovative ways to attract more customers to their stores. This was a difficult problem.


    While Jin Weiwei was in deep thought, a light suddenly came to mind. She suddenly thought about the matter of cooking oil, but regarding that, she seemed to be a little unprofessional. However, he believed that every household was indispensable. If he succeeded in doing so, everyone would definitely come back to him. That way, not only would he make things easier for everyone, but his business would also get better and better.


    Even though her business was already quite good, she had also made quite a bit of money. Moreover, her Little Rich Son was also a rich master. But how much money you make isn''t excessive, is it?

 C254

    Of course, this business had always been risky. However, if he didn''t put it into practice and was only afraid of the risks, he might not be able to accomplish anything. However, if he failed when he invested, then it would be a huge loss to him.


    This was precisely the reason why there were so few peddlers. Of course, it also caused her to lose a few competitors. If everyone wanted to be a peddler, the competition would be very intense.


    Because in her heart, she firmly believed that as long as she was willing to work hard and give as much as she could, even if she couldn''t learn it, she would be able to train it after a long time. After all, there was nothing wrong with giving it a try.


    The shop assistant also felt that Jin Weiwei''s suggestion was very good, but they had no experience with it, so they did not know if they could make it, but whether it was successful or not, they needed to try, and only after trying would they know.


    Jin Weiwei had such thoughts before, but he had never done it before. Hence, this time, he was very determined. After that, he would have people buy peanuts, sesame paste, etc.


    As for Gongsun Minzhi, she had always held a grudge towards him, so she thought of a method that could shock him. She called his guard and whispered something to him.


    After the secret guard heard what Gongsun Minzhi said, he went down. Because she knew the prefect''s personality. She had always been a vengeful person. If he pissed her off, he wouldn''t be able to escape from her hands. Although he sometimes felt that Gongsun Minzhi had gone a little too far, she wouldn''t betray him no matter what. Because Gongsun Minzhi had once saved him.


    The guard immediately ordered for the nimble people to change Jin Weiwei''s business certificate from the first floor to a fake one. There were too many people inside the store. People came and went, and business was booming. Furthermore, these people had nimble hands and feet, so they could trick Jin Weiwei using a fake business certificate.


    When Jin Weiwei saw that there were so many people in the shop, she was extremely happy. She knew it: she was a born businessman, with a good sense of business, and now she was doing her best. Jin Weiwei was elated in his heart. Today''s turnover was definitely going to break through again.


    When he thought about how much money he was going to have again, Jin Weiwei felt like he was on the verge of losing blood. After all, she was a true miser. Those who did their job made a gesture to those who were following them in the dark, indicating that they were ready.


    Those in the shadows, use their eyes to signal for them to step back. Then it was hidden again in the darkness. He could go back and notify the officials. The officials immediately left. He saw the officials majestically running down the street, while the passersby automatically made way for them. After all, the citizens could not fight against the officials!


    The officials all went into Jin Weiwei''s shop. The sudden voice pulled Jin Weiwei out of his fantasy. Seeing so many soldiers, Jin Weiwei was shocked. She remembered that she didn''t seem to have offended anyone from the government. Jin Weiwei thought.


    The leader said: "Because some merchants have been using fake business certificates lately, we will be checking them today. Catch those who use false business vouchers. "Search!" As the leader gave the order, the people behind him split into two groups to look at the certificate.


    Jin Weiwei''s beautiful eyes flashed a look of astonishment, she knew that the official uniform''s annual check was held in the summer May, why would they suddenly come today to check? This didn''t make sense! Why did the person in uniform have to come today?


    When had the customers who came to Jin Weiwei''s shop seen such a big battle? Seeing so many soldiers barge in, everyone was scared out of their wits and hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads.


    After all, the people were already deeply afraid of the government. So, they lowered their heads and didn''t dare to look straight at the Shangguan family. If he really did target them, then his family would be finished.


    Master Guan looked around the shop and thought, "If the people at the top want to destroy you, there''s nothing I can do." You can just pray for your own blessings! But obviously you can''t beat that guy. Because since ancient times, power was always more important than money. Seeing Jin Weiwei and the shop, the leader''s eyes were filled with regret.


    Jin Weiwei was unconvinced when he saw that the soldiers were so ruthless in wanting to see the proof of business. So she stopped the soldiers and tried to put on a euphemistic tone, "Can you give me a proper reason?"


    The person that came from the government was rather reasonable, making Jin Weiwei, this strange woman who knew how to talk, unable to say anything to refute her.


    One of the people who came was a boorish looking man. He had his head tilted upwards and his mouth opened and closed as he spoke something that shocked the ears.


    "This storefront of yours is newly opened. According to the rules, we are here to take a look." Here, show us the vouchers. "If you refuse to cooperate or play tricks on the government, just wait until your store is closed."


    The man said these words without any trace of politeness, causing Jin Weiwei''s newly formed eyebrows to crease slightly. Something was not right, she thought to herself.


    Why would anyone come to check their business license? He had never heard of a new store where people from the government checked their business licenses. He himself was quite concerned about these things.


    However, seeing that the expression of the people from the government did not seem to be faking it, Jin Weiwei was somewhat suspicious.


    Could it be that there really was such a rule?


    Fine, fine, let them check it out. He also had a business license, so he wasn''t afraid of them checking it out.


    After Jin Weiwei thought it through, he revealed a brilliant smile. Although she knew it was not good, so what? They were all people from the government, and she could not afford to offend them.


    "Come on, this way please. Our business license is hanging right here."


    Jin Weiwei invited the officials over. She was very confident and had a plan in her heart. However, she didn''t know that she was going to face a disaster soon.


    "Someone come!" Arrest her! " With the order from the leader, the soldiers all rushed forward and trapped Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei did not understand and felt it was serious, so he asked curiously: "Why are you capturing me?"


    Tao Xiaoqing and the rest looked anxious, they asked the officials one after another if they were mistaken.


    The official scoffed and said, "Of course I want to catch you! This business license of yours is faking, fooling the government, faking, isn''t it your duty to capture you? "


    After Jin Weiwei heard this, she knew that someone had purposely tricked her, but her business license had indeed been swapped with someone, she had no way of refuting it, she could only be captured by the officials.

 C255

    Jin Weiwei struggled with all his might, trying to struggle free from the yamen runner''s grasp. However, she was no match for him, even with her endless strength, she was simply no match for him. Jin Weiwei paid his respects to all the ancestors of the yamen runner one last time, but she was still obediently escorted away by the yamen runner.


    Jin Weiwei thought in his mind. Maybe he could bribe these people if he was rich, and as he thought about it, Jin Weiwei flattered yamen runner like he was bootlicking a horse:


    "Big brother, I''m just a child. I still have an injured mother in my family, so I can''t leave my family. All my brothers have families, so they can''t treat me like this."


    Then, he revealed a very wronged smile and pretended to sob twice. yamen runner had already taken care of so many prisoners before, and if he was that soft-hearted towards every single one of them, it would be unknown just how many times his head would fall off.


    yamen runner increased the power in his hands and revealed a cold smile towards Jin Weiwei: "I''ll let you go, the people up there will definitely let me go. We are all married women, how can we treat our families as child''s play."


    The pain from his hands made Jin Weiwei suck in a deep breath. He knew that yamen runner was afraid of the people above, so he forced himself to endure the pain and said to the yamen runner behind him: "I''m still young, how would I do such a cunning thing?


    "Stop bullshitting. Even if you were to spout nonsense today, we will not let you go." Another yamen runner said.


    Jin Weiwei could only shut his mouth and endure the pain that came from his hands as he was escorted step by step by the yamen runner.


    Jin Weiwei suddenly felt that his entire life was tragic and tragic. If he could not come out this time, then he would really lose his life in such a miserable manner.


    Jin Weiwei was escorted by the yamen runner to a large prison. Jin Weiwei did not know what kind of prison it was, but when the yamen runner led her to the middle of the road, everyone in the prison extended their hands out and said with an almost sorrowful voice: "Let me out, let me out."


    His voice reverberated back and forth in the empty corridor of the prison. The echo sounds especially terrifying, and with the empty prison cell added on, Jin Weiwei was slightly afraid.


    Then, Jin Weiwei was immediately thrown into a cell. When Jin Weiwei saw that the yamen runner that escorted him in was about to leave, he immediately shed two tears and hugged onto the thigh of one of the yamen runner. "Big Brother, let me out.


    yamen runner''s face darkened completely. He kicked Jin Weiwei away and fiercely said to Jin Weiwei: "Scram, we''re all people who have been sent to death row, yet you''re still so restless." Then he went out the door and locked it.


    When Yuchi Han thought about how his plan had worked, he let out a cold laugh and said to the servant, "Remember to take good care of Jin Weiwei and don''t let her suffer unjustly. Otherwise, I will not be able to keep my official hat on."


    The servant who had followed his orders revealed a cold smile, bowed and said to Yuchi Han, "Master, don''t worry, I will take good care of Jin Weiwei, and make sure she will never forget it, forever remembering Master''s kindness. I will never come and disturb you again."


    Yuchi Han suddenly spoke to the servants, "I don''t want to see Jin Weiwei come out safely from his cell and continue to wander around in front of me. If you don''t have enough money, go to the accounting room and get more."


    The servant bowed to Yuchi Han and said respectfully, "This little one will handle this matter well and will not disappoint Master."


    The servant bribed the prison to bribe Jin Weiwei to kill him, and did not leave him alive, otherwise he would have to pay back twice the original price, immediately using a certain amount of silver, causing the prison to become jealous, he said to the servant: "I will definitely settle this matter well." Then he took the silver.


    The prison spent a bit more money to bribe a condemned prisoner to kill Jin Weiwei. As long as he could kill Jin Weiwei, not only would he be able to walk out of the prison, he would also receive a large amount of silver. The moment the prisoner heard that he would be able to leave this damned place, he agreed without thinking at all.


    The two of them discussed a plan and decided to let the criminal pretend to be crazy. They accidentally picked up a key and opened the door to their cell, then accidentally killed Jin Weiwei.


    As for Jin Weiwei, who was in the cell, he was lying on the bed as he slept soundly.


    Ji Jingzhi who was outside the prison. After knowing that Jin Weiwei had entered the cell, she wanted to rescue Jin Weiwei from the prison, but Ji Jingzhi was not a rude person, the possibility of Jin Weiwei being released was zero, she thought for an entire morning, but in the end, she could not think of anything. She decided to first ask for it from the officials, maybe they would really give it to him, if they did not give it to him, then she would think of other ways.


    Ji Jingzhi went outside the prison and directly walked in. When the yamen runner outside saw that someone wanted to go in, he used his hands to block Ji Jingzhi''s path, and said to Ji Jingzhi with a look of disdain: "Go over there, this is not a place for you to play."


    Ji Jingzhi said calmly: "Get out of the way, I want to see your cell''s master."


    The look of despise on yamen runner''s face immediately went to Ji Jingzhi: "You want to see the owner of our cell, why don''t you take a piss and look at yourself? You actually want to meet our master." Then, he laughed out loud, accompanied by yamen runner.


    Ji Jingzhi really did not want to interact with them, so he waved his sleeves and headed straight for the Shangguan Palace. The yamen runner saw that Ji Jingzhi was stubborn, and directly said: "If you continue to be like this, I''ll catch you. At that time, don''t blame the officials for being cold-blooded, it''s unfair, to bully the weak with power."


    Ji Jingzhi lightly glanced at yamen runner, and then continued walking inside. yamen runner was annoyed for a moment, and immediately pulled out his sword.


    A silver light flashed across Ji Jingzhi''s eyes. The moment he thought about Jin Weiwei, who might have been tortured inside, he directly ignored yamen runner, who immediately pressed down Ji Jingzhi''s arm and coldly said to Ji Jingzhi: "Don''t blame me for not reminding you, breaking into the death cell, will result in the death of nine whole families."


    Ji Jingzhi rolled his eyes, thinking that today, if his identity was not exposed, this group of despicable yamen runner would definitely not let him in, but since his father was not around, if he were to speak nonsense here, yamen runner would definitely think that he was lying.


    Ji Jingzhi was a little anxious. At that time, he only wanted to save Jin Weiwei and did not bring any keepsake with him.


    yamen runner held onto Ji Jingzhi, pressuring him to death, Ji Jingzhi suddenly saw the jade pendant on his waist swaying, he retrieved his hand from yamen runner''s hands and removed the jade pendant from his waist.


    When yamen runner saw the jade pendant in Ji Jingzhi''s hands, he immediately kneeled down and said to Ji Jingzhi: "It''s my dog eyes that doesn''t recognize Mt. Tai, I hope Master does not blame me."


    Ji Jingzhi looked at the kneeling yamen runner and saw him trembling. He said coldly: "Step down, let Yuchi Han come to see me." yamen runner immediately rolled down.


    The yamen runner did as Ji Jingzhi said, at the same time, he informed Gongsun Minzhi, who found out that Ji Jingzhi was here, and wrote a letter to send it to the capital, telling the little emperor that Ji Jingzhi was at the Ye City, and that he could openly torture him for his crimes, and that he did not need to worry about the hundred officials of the imperial court.

 C256

    Gongsun Minzhi revealed a cold smile, and after a while, he saw Ji Jingzhi standing in front of him. Gongsun Minzhi opened his mouth wide, and pretended to rub his eyes, and asked the person beside him: "Is there something wrong with your eyes? actually saw the son of the Regent. "


    The people at the side saw that Gongsun Minzhi was acting, and immediately agreed: "Master, it might not be you seeing things, prince really came to the prison."


    Gongsun Minzhi confirmed something with the people at the side. He walked to the front of Ji Jingzhi while trembling and bowed to Ji Jingzhi: "I wonder what prince is doing in our prison. In this cold and gloomy place, it''s best not to stay too long. It''s all my fault, I did not let anyone properly entertain prince. prince, did you suffer any grievances? I will certainly educate them. "


    Ji Jingzhi looked at Gongsun Minzhi, and asked expressionlessly: "Did you check the date of the proof yesterday?" Gongsun Minzhi immediately agreed, no, he frowned and asked: Then why would someone check the proof? And they took people with them? "


    Gongsun Minzhi thought about how the person he captured yesterday, wasn''t he just a little girl? He thought that she was only a small merchant, but he never thought that her backer would be pretty big.


    Although everyone knew about Jin Weiwei and his marriage, she never would have thought that for Jin Weiwei''s sake, Ji Jingzhi could come here and ask for his life. He didn''t even hesitate to offend him.


    Gongsun Minzhi thought for a moment, then cupped his hands towards Ji Jingzhi and said: "prince, yesterday is not the day to search for proof, and this official did not capture anyone yesterday either. I do not know what prince is saying, and am delusional enough to think that Your Highness does not slander this official, I only have one head." Gongsun Minzhi pretended to wipe his sweat.


    Ji Jingzhi deeply furrowed his brows. Naturally, he could tell that the little official in front of him was fawning on him, and his information was not wrong. It was obvious that it was they who captured Jin Weiwei yesterday, yet he didn''t admit it today.


    Gongsun Minzhi could clearly feel that the aura around Ji Jingzhi''s body had become stronger. She was scared witless and wanted nothing more than to quickly invite this great Buddha in front of her away so that she could have some peace and quiet.


    "Quick, welcome prince. prince, this official has something to do, so I will take my leave first. In a while, this official will be back to serve the prince. "


    Gongsun Minzhi immediately went back to the study room and wrote a few words on the letter before handing it over to the servant. He then returned to the study room and went to look for a few people to interrogate him, in order to not reveal himself, he did not know that he had captured someone yesterday.


    Ji Jingzhi sat in the main hall, waiting impatiently, he was truly worried for Jin Weiwei, he had been tortured in the cell, if Jin Weiwei was punished by anyone, he would often stay in bed for a few days.


    After about two hours, the servant that Gongsun Minzhi had sent back returned. Seeing that the servant had returned, Gongsun Minzhi took a deep breath, the heavy burden in his heart finally dropped.


    The servant gave Gongsun Minzhi a letter, which said he wanted Ji Jingzhi to meet Jin Weiwei. Gongsun Minzhi was unable to understand why Yuchi Han would do this, but he remembered that Ji Jingzhi was sitting in the main hall waiting for him to get the news, so he quickly went to the main hall.


    Gongsun Minzhi let out a hearty laugh, she welcomed him with a smile, and bowed to Ji Jingzhi: "prince, I am truly sorry, it is all my fault for failing to take care of my subordinates, and letting them capture your servants, quickly follow me to take a look."


    Ji Jingzhi got up from the chair and walked out of the main hall, Gongsun Minzhi followed behind him, feeling extremely cautious. If he did not serve the ancestor today, he might not be able to wear the hat on his head.


    Gongsun Minzhi wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. As she thought of this, she stroked her tall hat and they continued onward.


    Very quickly, they reached the death cell. yamen runner unlocked it quickly, and when the door opened, Ji Jingzhi heard the sound of the prisoner''s wails.


    Gongsun Minzhi immediately looked at the servant beside him, and the servant quickly left. After a while, there was no sound.


    The few of them continued walking, and when they reached the path of the prison gates, the criminals would still crazily extend their hands and shout loudly, saying that they were wronged, that they did not kill anyone, and that they were begging Gongsun Minzhi to return them justice. When Ji Jingzhi thought about Jin Weiwei being imprisoned in such a place, he became even more anxious. Ji Jingzhi''s heart was filled with panic. He wished that he could immediately find Jin Weiwei and bring him back to the Palace.


    Gongsun Minzhi wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and then led Ji Jingzhi forward. Soon enough, they arrived at the place where they were locked in Weiwei''s prison. The prison door wasn''t shut tight like the others, but it was open.


    felt more and more sweat on his forehead. yamen runner immediately knelt down towards the company name and kowtowed continuously: Master, it was my negligence that caused this prisoner to escape, please do not blame him.


    Gongsun Minzhi frowned as he looked at the yamen runner, and spoke in an almost furious tone: "What negligence, he actually managed to escape with a living prisoner, why should I raise you, you bunch of useless bastards."


    Hearing that, the yamen runner kept on kowtowing and kept on admitting his wrongs to Gongsun Minzhi.


    At this moment, one of the convicts suddenly said, "The deity has come. I saw the deity. I saw the deity."


    When yamen runner heard him, he did not care about etiquette anymore. He immediately got up and asked the criminal, "What did you see? How did this prisoner escape? "


    The criminal didn''t say anything. He just kept muttering to himself. He saw a deity and the deity descended to the mortal realm to save her.


    The other prisoner had a look of surprise on his face. "Just now, this person was clearly on the verge of death, yet a red light suddenly appeared and then this person disappeared."


    Gongsun Minzhi had never believed that there was such a thing as a demon or god in this world. He thought that Yuchi Han had probably arranged it himself, otherwise how could the people he imprisoned suddenly disappear?


    He pretended to be in a difficult position and asked Ji Jingzhi: "prince, what should we do? The prisoner you were looking for disappeared into thin air. " Ji Jingzhi, who was at the side, had a dark expression and did not say a word.


    Gongsun Minzhi felt a chill down his spine, and his heart was in a mess. The Great Buddha today, he might really offend it, how could this be good? Thinking that it might have been Gongsun Hong''s doing, Gongsun Minzhi felt some resentment towards Gongsun Hong, he never thought that Gongsun Hong would actually frame him.

    Ji Jingzhi looked at the motionless Jin Weiwei, and his tears slowly flowed out. He had never known this that there would come a day where he would be so afraid, so afraid of losing a person.


    And only Jin Weiwei could make him lose his soul, and make him lose his usual calmness, and become worried about his gains and losses.


    Ji Jingzhi looked at the pale Jin Weiwei. Although his heart ached, Ji Jingzhi quickly held back his tears and pulled his rationality back, he knew that what he had done was useless. Right now, what he needed was not tears, not sadness, but Weiwei who had thought of a way to save her.


    Immediately after, Ji Jingzhi''s face became extremely serious, and meticulously examined Jin Weiwei''s body, to check where he was injured, and it was not serious.


    Only then did Ji Jingzhi realize that Jin Weiwei''s entire body was covered in fresh blood. His clothes were already dyed red with blood, and the bright red color stung Ji Jingzhi''s eyes.


    Ji Jingzhi''s hands were trembling, he was afraid that he would accidentally move a little too much, or use too much force, and hurt the woman in his embrace again.


    Carefully taking off Jin Weiwei''s clothes, Ji Jingzhi saw that all of the wounds on his body were large and small, some were from whips, and some were from weapons. As Ji Jingzhi lightly touched the wounds, his heart ached even more.


    Because some of the wounds were very deep, Ji Jingzhi was even more worried. Because of him, a girl''s body was originally perfect, but today, she had suffered such a thing due to her lack of an injury. If her injuries couldn''t be healed, or if scars were left behind, how painful would that be for a girl.


    Ji Jingzhi blamed himself in his heart, blaming himself for not protecting Jin Weiwei properly.


    After inspecting his body, he discovered that Jin Weiwei''s ribs were broken in two, and there were even blood clots in his body. If he was not careful, his life would be in danger.


    After Ji Jingzhi checked Jin Weiwei''s injuries, he was extremely anxious, because there was nothing here that he could use and he only knew how to bandage his wounds. Other than the external injuries, Jin Weiwei''s body also had broken ribs and blood stains. However, there was nothing he could do about these two things.


    There was no doctor here, no medicinal ingredients, and he only brought a few Gold Sore Medicine on his body. Its effect on Jin Weiwei''s body was also minuscule.


    Although Ji Jingzhi was anxious, his hands continued to move without stopping. He took out the Gold Sore Medicine from his chest and carefully sprinkled it on Jin Weiwei''s wounds.


    Very quickly, the Gold Sore Medicine was used up, but Jin Weiwei still had not applied the medicine on his wounds. Ji Jingzhi was anxious, but he did not dare move Jin Weiwei.


    Putting aside the fact that there was Gongsun Minzhi and a bunch of servants outside the spatial space, even if the two of them were to go out, he might not even be able to bring Jin Weiwei away.


    Now, Gongsun Minzhi thought that he had already rescued Jin Weiwei and there was already no way for him to report to the little emperor. If he brought Jin Weiwei out now, Gongsun Minzhi would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.


    Moreover, the most important thing was that Jin Weiwei had injured two of her ribs. He did not dare to move her, afraid that he would cause more harm to her body.


    Just as Ji Jingzhi was panicking, the agate that was holding Jin Weiwei suddenly glowed with a brilliant red light, which quickly calmed down and spat out a pill that looked like a red ball.


    When Ji Jingzhi saw this scene, his heart was moved. He knew that Jin Weiwei was the owner of this space and it was her own unique object. Therefore, the "pill" that appeared at this moment would be of some help to her injuries. He believed that the thing in this space would not harm her.


    Furthermore, due to the pressure of the current form, he had no choice. Thus, without hesitation, he fed the "pill" into Jin Weiwei''s mouth.


    Sure enough, when the "pill" entered Jin Weiwei''s body, his body released a bit of red light, and then the red light slowly faded into Jin Weiwei''s body.


    Just then, the Agate that was spitting out pills bit down on Jin Weiwei''s finger, the red droplets of blood were bright and glaring.


    However, Ji Jingzhi was not worried, because he knew that the Agate would not harm Jin Weiwei. There must be a reason behind it, so Ji Jingzhi did not stop it.


    "Weiwei, wake up. Open your eyes and look at me, slightly..." Jin Weiwei still did not respond to Ji Jingzhi''s call. Ji Jingzhi looked at the condition of Jin Weiwei''s body, and realised that the blood clot in his body had disappeared, while his injured ribs were also slowly being healed.


    Although Jin Weiwei did not wake up, Ji Jingzhi knew that her Weiwei was no longer in danger.


    What they needed the most now was time, time to wait for their injuries to improve and for Jin Weiwei to wake up. Ji Jingzhi carried Jin Weiwei like that, afraid that she would leave his embrace again. This time, things had really made him afraid, even though he was injured, he had never been this afraid.


    Ji Jingzhi could not imagine what would happen if Jin Weiwei did not exist in his world. It was as if his world was devoid of sunlight and was shrouded in darkness.


    After going through the treatment of the red pills, Jin Weiwei''s face was no longer pale and became more and more rosy.


    Ji Jingzhi realized that Jin Weiwei was already alright, and carefully brought him from the Agate in the pool to the grass by the side.


    While Ji Jingzhi was doing all of this. The Agate within the pool underwent some changes. The Agate was wrapped in a red light, and then the red light became smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller. The red light also slowly converged, turning into a red egg-like object.


    Ji Jingzhi felt it was mystical, he did not understand why the agate turned into an egg, or if it was an egg in the first place, he did not know what kind of egg it would hatch, because with his identity, he had seen a lot, but he had never seen an egg like this before, and was very curious about what kind of little monster the egg would hatch.


    Ah!


    Just then, a soft cry pulled Ji Jingzhi back from his thoughts. Ji Jingzhi knew that Jin Weiwei had woken up, so he quickly turned around and walked to Jin Weiwei''s side.


    "Weiwei, how do you feel? Are you feeling better? Great, you''ve finally woken up. Do you know, you scared me to death, I have never been this afraid before." Ji Jingzhi hugged Jin Weiwei tightly, letting Jin Weiwei lean onto his body.


    This was the first time he felt how important Jin Weiwei was to him. He swore that in the future, he would definitely not let anyone harm her again, that he would protect her well and definitely not let today''s matter repeat itself.

 C258

    Don''t worry, I''m fine, I''m fine. I''m fine, you don''t even think about who I am. Good people don''t live long. Jin Weiwei did not want Ji Jingzhi to worry about her, so his tone was extremely relaxed.


    Jin Weiwei extended his hand and pinched Ji Jingzhi''s face, revealing an evil smile.


    "Besides, I can''t bear to die. If I were to die, wouldn''t I be letting such a devastatingly beautiful little face like yours go? I haven''t seen enough, how could I let you off?"


    Ji Jingzhi couldn''t do anything about Jin Weiwei. It was a very serious matter at first, but once Jin Weiwei came in and made a mess, he would definitely cause a ruckus. Then, she would just sit back and take advantage of the heat, maybe this was the nature of a merchant. "Never let yourself suffer a loss.


    Ji Jingzhi laughed bitterly, "At a time like this, you still have the mood to joke around, your life is almost gone. Let me see what gold, silver, and house you have, what do we do?" Ji Jingzhi pinched Jin Weiwei''s small nose, and said to Jin Weiwei with a spoiled tone.


    "Don''t worry, don''t worry. Even if it''s for my baby, I will protect my baby. Those are my treasures!"


    Sure enough, Ji Jingzhi knew that he couldn''t let go of her treasure.


    "Then you have to protect your little life. If you die, I will confiscate all of your treasures," Ji Jingzhi said to Jin Weiwei expressionlessly.


    "Hmph, you are ruthless!" "Don''t worry, I won''t let you succeed." Jin Weiwei turned his head, looking like he was ignoring you.


    Ji Jingzhi secretly laughed in his heart. How could he really do that? He only knew that she loved those yellow and white things of hers, so he wanted her to use that as an motivation to hold on to her life.


    However, Ji Jingzhi was still a little conflicted. In her heart, which one of the more important aspects was the yellow-white object? Perhaps, he really could not compare to that yellow-white object.


    Jin Weiwei secretly looked at Ji Jingzhi and realised he was only smiling, he did not care about all the things that happened, since the most important thing right now was their situation. If they could not leave, then all of her silver would belong to someone else. This is an important issue.


    "Ji Jingzhi, I realized that Gongsun Minzhi seemed to be intentionally trying to put me to death, and immediately used torture on me. Logically speaking, shouldn''t we be interrogated? I have a bad premonition, I always feel that she has some sort of scheme, you must be careful!" Jin Weiwei said to Ji Jingzhi in a rare serious tone.


    Ji Jingzhi looked at the serious Jin Weiwei, and felt sweet in his heart. Looks like Jin Weiwei was worried about him, too.


    "This Gongsun Minzhi definitely wouldn''t dare to do such a thing herself. There must be someone behind her, and if I''m not wrong, the person behind her is His Majesty right now." Ji Jingzhi did not hide it from Jin Weiwei and told her the truth.


    "What, how could that be? Your Majesty, why did he do that? You''re just a little prince, why would he do that?" Jin Weiwei did not understand.


    "I am indeed just a little prince, but my father is a Regent. The reason he is doing this is only to force me to reveal my identity so that little emperor can find some clues to deal with my father." Ji Jingzhi had no intention to hide it in the beginning, but since Jin Weiwei had asked about it now, he might as well do as he was told.


    "In other words, you have always been in danger. Then you must definitely protect yourself," Jin Weiwei did not blame him for dragging her down, rather, she was extremely worried for him.


    "Don''t worry, I''m fine. No matter what, my identity is not empty. They don''t dare to do anything to me. This time, it''s all my fault, I was the one who implicated you, and caused you to suffer such heavy injuries, "Ji Jingzhi said with a face full of self-blame as he tightly hugged Jin Weiwei.


    "What nonsense are you talking about? Don''t think about it, I am the future Concubine of prince, if you want to wear the crown, you have to bear the weight. I understand all of this." Jin Weiwei looked indifferent.


    Although he did not understand what Jin Weiwei was saying, but according to the meaning of the words, Ji Jingzhi more or less understood what he meant. Ji Jingzhi was already used to Jin Weiwei saying weird things, he could even roughly guess what she meant. Of course, there were some that had a huge difference in meaning compared to her words, which gave Ji Jingzhi a headache.


    "Also, Slight Chill, during this period of time, my father has been writing to me, telling me to go back. I might not be able to stay here any longer." Ji Jingzhi didn''t want to leave Jin Weiwei, but he had no other choice. Furthermore, he had to do something.


    Hearing Ji Jingzhi''s words, Jin Weiwei did not speak, and did not make a move. "After a long while, he only said one word." "Good!"


    Ji Jingzhi''s heart ached, and he hugged Jin Weiwei tightly.


    On the other side, the little emperor had received the news that Gongsun Minzhi had opened the door. It wasn''t easy to get ahold of Ji Changhuai, this old thing''s weakness, how could he let it go so easily.


    Just then, Shen Che asked for an audience, and the little emperor had no choice but to suppress the urge to find trouble with Ji Changhuai and call him over.


    "Your Majesty, what are you in such a hurry to do? The little emperor just told Shen Che that he caught Ji Changhuai''s weakness."


    "Your Majesty, this humble subject believes that the Emperor does not need to find trouble with Ji Changhuai. Although you know about this matter, there is no solid evidence either. Shen Che acted like a loyal subject as he gave advice to the little emperor.


    "What your beloved one said is extremely true. Your beloved one has a good plan." The little Emperor hurriedly asked.


    "The Emperor may as well pretend that he doesn''t know and secretly gather the evidence, and Ji Changhuai didn''t know that you already know that Ji Jingzhi wasn''t in the capital. When the evidence arrived, they took him by surprise in front of the officials. " Shen Che said to the little emperor.


    "Alright, let''s do it." With that, he gave the orders for the people''s area to collect evidence that Ji Jingzhi was no longer in the capital.


    "Ji Changhuai, let''s see what you will do now." The little Emperor had a fierce expression.


    Shen Che, who was at the side, truly did not say anything, but the corner of his mouth slightly raised upwards.


    The next morning, at the morning assembly.


    "Regent, I wonder how is Ji Jingzhi''s injury doing, why did he run over to the Ye City to treat it, is it impossible for our capital''s doctors? Or did the Regent send your son to do something? " The little emperor curiously asked Ji Changhuai.

 C259

    These words were really a tricky question ¡­


    After Ji Changhuai heard this, his sword-like eyebrows knitted together slightly, making his squared face seem even more serious.


    What was going on? How did the little emperor know that Ji Jingzhi was not in the capital? Who in the world had done such a dirty thing and even acted as a snitch? This act of his was probably not too fair and square.


    Ji Changhuai was horrified in his heart. He was caught unprepared by the little emperor''s seemingly caring but overbearing words.


    What tricks did the little emperor come up with? This, Ji Changhuai did not know, but there was a bit that Ji Changhuai knew clearly.


    The little emperor would deliberately ask such a question in front of all the civil and military officials. Regardless of whether his answer was correct or not, he would lose all face in the imperial court. After all, Ji Jingzhi leaving the capital did not sound like a good thing.


    Thinking about it, Ji Changhuai''s body became even more stiff, this matter, was truly a little tricky. If he couldn''t find a proper reason to deal with this, the little emperor would definitely punish him for his crimes. This was no joke.


    But, very quickly, Ji Changhuai''s expression became relaxed, his expression was as calm as water, his eyes did not have any changes. Now, he''d already thought of a way to deal with it.


    Ji Changhuai''s profound eyes slightly rotated, he cupped his hands, and seriously replied:


    "Reporting to Your Majesty, everything His Majesty said was true. This humble subject''s son has indeed had a relapse, and this humble subject has specially found many famous doctors for him in the capital, but my son''s body has never been very comfortable. "


    Ji Changhuai''s thoughts were meticulous. As he spoke, he glanced at the little emperor''s expression without leaving a trace, and only after seeing that the little emperor''s expression was calm did he heave a sigh of relief.


    "This subject thinks that His Majesty is a compassionate and caring person. If he were to find out about my son''s serious injuries, he would definitely be worried." In order to not worry the emperor, this humble subject boldly hid the fact that the emperor brought Jingzhi to the Ye City to seek medical treatment. But he didn''t expect that his Majesty would be even more worried. This humble subject has failed in his efforts and ignored His Majesty''s benevolence. This humble subject deserves to die a thousand times for his crimes, I plead for Your Majesty to punish me. "


    The little Emperor didn''t have any reaction when he heard this. He merely sat on the Dragon Throne, looking at the group of ministers before him with a faint smile.


    The ministers looked at each other, but did not say anything. After all, it was difficult to guess one''s divine destiny. Who knew if the little emperor was satisfied with what Ji Changhuai had said after all?


    Ji Changhuai was a little panicked. He was afraid that the little emperor would be furious and order him to be dragged out to be beheaded.


    He only saw that there were fine beads of sweat on Ji Changhuai''s palms and beads of sweat on his forehead. He pursed his lips and lowered his head, not daring to look the Little Emperor in the eye.


    The time it took for an incense stick to burn had passed when the little Emperor finally spoke. The little Emperor got down from the dragon throne, walked over slowly and supported Ji Changhuai up, and said:


    "My beloved one is truly compassionate to me. Actually, it is not a big deal, but if prince''s body is not feeling good, finding better doctors in the capital is not a problem. If there is such a thing, just let me hear it. I am not an unscrupulous and unscrupulous monarch. How could I punish my beloved daughter? "


    Hearing that, Ji Changhuai was moved, but it lasted for a moment and did not last. After all, Ji Changhuai was very clear about the little emperor''s personality.


    There must be something wrong with this situation. After all, who knew what the hell the little Emperor was trying to do when he said that.


    "Little Li, go and get my stalks of ginseng and gelatin cake. I will give them to Ji Aiqing as rewards."


    When Ji Changhuai heard this, he was extremely shocked. The little emperor''s every word and action were all weird. It was really strange ¡­


    Jin Weiwei''s Palace


    The air was filled with a sweet smell


    On the bed, Jin Weiwei leaned on the bed, his eyes squinted, like a lazy cat. Ji Jingzhi sat on the side, holding the candied fruit in his hand, he impatiently fed Jin Weiwei who was on the bed. There were several bowls of Snow Pear Soup on the table beside him which exuded a sweet smell.


    Jin Weiwei is currently in great health, her small face the size of a palm had a blush of red, as though she had taken a lot of supplementary medicine to recuperate. In such a short period of time, Jin Weiwei''s face had turned red, and her body had become much better.


    Jin Weiwei helplessly looked at Ji Jingzhi, who was beside him, and felt extremely frustrated.


    Heavens, didn''t this guy say that he would return to the capital immediately? But the answer? This Gongsun Minzhi suddenly agreed to release him, obviously taking into consideration his status.


    Since that was the case, the little emperor must have already known about Ji Jingzhi leaving the capital. If Ji Jingzhi still did not leave, what would happen if he was punished? She couldn''t possibly take her little money and throw it at the little Emperor, right?


    Ji Jingzhi did not care about what Jin Weiwei thought, he merely took out a dried fruit from his plate and fed it to Jin Weiwei.


    "Here, have a few more bites. "The medicinal soup just now was a bit bitter. It''s best to eat some candied fruits as soon as possible and put some pressure on them to make them taste better."


    Jin Weiwei pursed his lips, looking at Ji Jingzhi''s little eyes of expectation, he softened his heart and did not refuse.


    After Jin Weiwei ate the dried fruit, she saw Ji Jingzhi going to the side of the table to get the Snow Pear Soup, she could no longer endure, and pulled on Ji Jingzhi.


    "Okay, okay. If I eat something sweet again, I might just get tired of it. How am I going to earn money then? "


    Seeing Jin Weiwei''s small expression of rebuke, Ji Jingzhi lovingly stroked Jin Weiwei''s head and said in a tender voice, "It''s okay, I can raise you."


    When Jin Weiwei heard this, his face flushed red. However, when did this man become such a comedian? No, in front of others, Ji Jingzhi seemed to be very serious, but in front of himself, he seemed to be ¡­


    Jin Weiwei looked at Ji Jingzhi, his mouth opening and closing as he asked: "When are you leaving?"


    Ji Jingzhi raised Jin Weiwei''s nose and said: "Wait for me to help you find the person who stole the proof for you. Then we will leave." Otherwise, I don''t trust you. Now, he dares to steal our proof. In the future, he might even dare to harm you. "


    Hearing Ji Jingzhi''s words, Jin Weiwei''s face fell, his head drooped, he looked to be extremely depressed.


    "You make it sound simple, how are we supposed to investigate?"


    Ji Jingzhi bent his body, looked at the large face that was almost within reach, and said: "I''ll help you, don''t worry, I''m here."


    When Jin Weiwei heard this, he was moved. As he felt Ji Jingzhi''s warm breath, his face blushed even more. Jin Weiwei''s deep emotions were like the bashful young madam.


    Seeing that, Ji Jingzhi leaned over, and placed his large mouth onto Jin Weiwei''s lips. Following that, Ji Jingzhi used her nimble tongue to pry open Jin Weiwei''s pearly teeth, and sucked in the sweet taste in Jin Weiwei''s mouth.


    The two of them continued to be dubious and sweet without end ¡­

 C260

    Under Ji Jingzhi''s treatment, Jin Weiwei''s body quickly recovered back to normal. Because of the effects of the red "pill", Jin Weiwei''s body was more or less recovered, but Ji Jingzhi could not relax, so he kept forcing Jin Weiwei to drink some messy medicine.


    In this period of time, Jin Weiwei had been letting her stay in the manor and not go anywhere else. Every day, he would even drink Chinese medicine that wasn''t drunk by humans.


    If Ji Jingzhi didn''t make others watch over her, she would have long ago come out to earn money. To her, not earning any money was simply a waste of her life, and furthermore, she actually wasted such a long time. Just thinking about it made his heart ache.


    Because Ji Jingzhi had sent people to watch over him, he was unable to leave. But how could Jin Weiwei be the quiet master?


    Inside the room, Jin Weiwei looked at the two guards who were standing motionlessly outside the door.


    Jin Weiwei thought that she wouldn''t be able to walk through the door, so he thought that she would be able to do it. I''ve really underestimated her. Haven''t I heard the words'' no doors, no windows''?


    As he thought about it, Jin Weiwei carefully opened the window, wanting to exit through the window before escaping.


    He opened the window and saw that there was no one inside. He quietly climbed up to the window and then slowly got down, closing it behind him.


    Just as Jin Weiwei was secretly celebrating in his heart, an emotionless voice came over.


    "Young Miss, please return to your room."


    In an instant, Jin Weiwei became listless like a frosted eggplant.


    Turning around, Jin Weiwei''s exquisite face revealed a fawning smile.


    "Big brother guard, you can do it. Let me out. Don''t worry, I won''t be in the wrong and I won''t implicate you." Jin Weiwei was even shedding tears, hoping that the guard leader would show mercy and let her go.


    Obviously, she was overthinking it. The big brother guard expressionlessly ignored Jin Weiwei''s words.


    "Please return to your room Miss, please do not make things difficult for this subordinate." The big brother guard bowed towards Jin Weiwei and said earnestly.


    "Hmph, what''s so special about that, Ji Jingzhi, just you wait!" As he spoke, he angrily opened the window and jumped into the room.


    "Elder brother guard ¡­" You can go through the door. "


    How could Jin Weiwei give up just like that? Just want to trap her like this, don''t even think about it.


    After going through so many twists and turns, whether it was throwing rocks to lure the guards away or acting cute like a spoiled child, her plan of escape was unsuccessful.


    "Aiyo, aiyo, I''m going to die! Help, help!" Jin Weiwei laid on the ground in pain, he did not forget to break a few vases.


    Outside


    "Go in and take a look. If anything happens to this master, we won''t be able to explain ourselves. I''ll guard here." One of the guards said to the other guard with a conflicted expression.


    "Mm, okay, be careful." As he said that, he opened the door and went to check on Jin Weiwei''s situation.


    When he opened the door, he saw Jin Weiwei lying on the ground, and quickly went forward to take a look.


    The guard called out to Jin Weiwei a few times, but seeing that Jin Weiwei did not react, he became anxious.


    He walked to the door and said to the other guard, "Quick, go get the doctor. Miss is unconscious."


    When the other guard heard this, he immediately sprinted over with a hundred meters speed to find the doctor. They knew how much the prince loved this lady, if anything were to happen to her, their lives would be lost.


    Afterwards, the other guard didn''t dare to leave and anxiously walked back and forth. He didn''t realize that Jin Weiwei''s eyes had already opened, and had even carefully walked behind him.


    "Peng ¡­" A vase fell on the guard''s head.


    The guard then turned around and pointed at Jin Weiwei: "You ¡­" Then he fainted.


    Jin Weiwei clapped his hands.


    "Hmph, still trying to trap me? Don''t you see who I am? I have watched quite a bit of palace dramas." Jin Weiwei took care of the guard. As time was limited, he quickly took off the guard''s clothes and wore them on his body. The longer parts were cut off with a pair of scissors.


    As expected, no one paid attention to her along the way. As she pretended to be a attendant, she smoothly got out of Ji Jingzhi''s cage.


    The reason why Jin Weiwei changed his clothes was because he was afraid of leaving his room, but was stopped by someone else. Just in case, Jin Weiwei did a thorough analysis of his escape.


    Now that he finally obtained his freedom, of course Jin Weiwei would enjoy it, or else he would have to suffer so much for him to escape. Ji Jingzhi reckoned that it wouldn''t be long before Ji Jingzhi would find out, maybe he would take the hundred meter long blade and come find him.


    Thinking about that, Jin Weiwei could not help but shiver.


    "It''s better to run quickly. It''s been a long time since I last saw how my business is doing. And there''s one more thing I need to find out for myself. "


    Jin Weiwei went straight to the shop.


    Very quickly, Jin Weiwei arrived at the shop. When Tao Qi saw him walking over, he quickly went to welcome him.


    "Miss, why have you come? Is there anything you need me to do?" Tao Qi was extremely respectful. He admired Jin Weiwei from the bottom of his heart. After all, Jin Weiwei was just a woman. To be able to do this much, even a man might not be as good as her.


    "It just so happens that I have some questions to ask you," Jin Weiwei did not waste her breath, she believed in Tao Qi.


    "Miss, please do not hesitate to ask. This humble one will definitely ask whatever you know." Tao Qi cupped his fists and said respectfully.


    Jin Weiwei narrowed her phoenix eyes and said: "I want to know which shop has the best business among all the merchants on the first floor, and which shop has the worst business but has many employees?"


    Tao Qi didn''t understand why Jin Weiwei wanted to ask this question, but he decided to answer truthfully.


    Tao Qi thought about it carefully before telling Jin Weiwei, "If the business here is to be considered as the best, then this first floor should be the home of the meat seller, Brother Hu. We also help you move the meat around a lot, so everyone is familiar with each other. The one with the worst business is probably the Wang Clan that sells soybeans and tofu. "


    Tao Qi told Jin Weiwei everything in detail.


    "Speaking of which, Old Wang often sends me some tofu!" Tao Qi said to Jin Weiwei.


    After Jin Weiwei finished listening, he understood in his heart. In truth, she had no intention of asking Tao Qi about the business situation of the shop on the first floor. She merely wanted to understand the situation and show them to the real culprit, so that he could let his guard down.


    What she was truly worried about was the shops on the second floor, because the servants on the first floor were basically all brought over by Tao Xiaoqing from the Lishui County. Basically, everyone had signed a life and death agreement, so no one would try anything funny. Thus, the one with the greatest suspicion was the business on the second floor.


    Letting the real murderer get away scot-free was the most important thing to do right now.

 C261

    However, this was easy to say but hard to do. How was he supposed to catch this murderer?


    Jin Weiwei pondered silently in his heart about how he should catch this murderer.


    Then, Jin Weiwei asked Tao Qi what the second floor''s merchants did the most.


    Tao Qi informed them one by one.


    "Most of the merchants on the second floor sell meat. "Miss, since you want to raise some livestock to sell meat, there are more merchants selling meat on the second floor." Tao Qi told Jin Weiwei everything he knew.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei did not express anything, nor did he say anything, he only wanted Tao Qi to accompany him for a walk.


    Jin Weiwei walked amongst the merchants on the first floor. When the merchants on the first floor saw Jin Weiwei, they were all very enthusiastic and Jin Weiwei did not put on airs either. He was also chatting and laughing with them.


    "Hey, Old Wang, I heard that business hasn''t been doing well recently?" Jin Weiwei went to the merchant, Elder Wang, who was selling soybeans and tofu, and asked him about the recent business situation.


    "Oh, it''s Miss Weiwei," Old Wang said as he put down the things in his hands and led Jin Weiwei into the shop.


    "Come, come. Miss Weiwei, take a seat. Servants, serve tea."


    Jin Weiwei did not stand on ceremony as he walked into the shop and sat down.


    "Why is Miss free to come today? Have you thought of another good idea to earn money? " Old Wang excitedly waited for Jin Weiwei to finish.


    "No, why would I think of earning money the moment I see you? I have so much intelligence, I came here today to do some market research." Jin Weiwei told Old Wang her purpose for coming today.


    "Market survey? This little one is stupid, may I ask Miss, what is this market survey about? " Old Wang looked puzzled. I wonder what Jin Weiwei means.


    Actually, it was not only Old Wang who was confused, even Tao Qi who was behind Jin Weiwei had a face full of suspicion, as he did not understand what the market research was all about. She was like a baby waiting for Jin Weiwei''s answer.


    "I just want to investigate the business situation of each of your stores and see which items are being sold well and which ones are not doing well." Jin Weiwei explained slightly.


    "So that''s how it is. So what''s the use of doing this market survey? " Tao Qi still did not understand, and asked directly. Old Wang had also been looking at Jin Weiwei, prepared to hear her answer.


    Do you guys not understand? Just do this market research and you will soon know the situation of the customers in the near future. Think about it, buying things will take a lot of patience, in a certain era, it is unrealistic to contact them one by one. and then, based on this survey, come up with a product that fits. " Jin Weiwei was extremely thirsty, he then raised his teacup and drank his tea.


    "What is this consumption tendency again?" Tao Qi this curious baby had another question.


    Tens of thousands of horses were galloping in Jin Weiwei''s heart, why is it that I still can''t explain it clearly?


    "Simply put, if your family''s business is good, it means that the customer is satisfied with this store, so the number of times they come to buy is naturally many. On the other hand, the customer is more average with this store, so naturally they don''t always come to buy things." Jin Weiwei tried his best to explain it using simple words. Finally, they understood what was meant by market research.


    Jin Weiwei thought, wasn''t I here to investigate a case? He didn''t think that I would dig such a big pit for myself.


    "I see, so that''s how it is. Miss is really a girl, so it''s like this!" Tao Qi''s face was full of worship.


    "Miss, the business here is not very good, does Miss have a way?" After listening to Jin Weiwei''s long story, Old Wang spoke to Jin Weiwei anxiously, hoping that Jin Weiwei could change the predicament she was in.


    "As for me, I don''t have any good ideas, but Old Wang, you can try making some innovations. Look at these beans, tofu, they are all common knowledge. If I can give everyone a new feeling, I think it would have miraculous effects."


    "Fresh vision, fresh vision ¡­" Old Wang was deep in thought, and as he read these words, he did not notice that Jin Weiwei had already left.


    Leaving the Old Wang''s shop, Jin Weiwei walked around the first floor before arriving at the second floor, where he greeted the merchants.


    What Jin Weiwei did not know was that from the moment she entered, she had been targeted by people, and upon seeing her exit Old Wang''s shop, she went up to a shop on the second floor, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote down some words, then passed them over to an unremarkable attendant.


    Although Jin Weiwei did not know if there were people watching him, but Jin Weiwei was betting that there were people watching her.


    Jin Weiwei, who had arrived on the second floor, had the same thoughts as when she was on the first floor. Every household would discuss and chat, and without talking about anything useful, it was just some trivial matters.


    After passing through all the shops on the second floor, she instructed Tao Qi who was behind her. He wanted Tao Qi to seal the entire shop and prevent anyone from leaving. After that, Tao Qi took away the box containing the proof. and brought everyone together.


    I''m very sorry, but I will have to take up some of everyone''s time here. I believe that everyone knows that my proof of the shop being framed is fake and I was forced to go to jail a while ago. It can be said that I was lucky that I got lucky. Jin Weiwei spoke slowly, and looked at everyone present as he spoke.


    "Just now, I have roughly passed all the shops. Of course, I also did some other things during the market investigation. Everyone, don''t worry, I didn''t do anything harmful to you. After all, we are old neighbors. I believe everyone is also not willing to see me framed for no reason. They will definitely be willing to return my innocence."


    "I believe in Miss''s character. Young Miss can make me, Old Wang, do whatever you want, as long as it can help you. " Old Wang was the first to stand out and support Jin Weiwei.


    With the support of the first person, many people started to support Jin Weiwei.


    I have already found a way to change the proof of my shop. Here, I will still advise you to come out and explain yourself, but if you let me find out, then don''t blame me for being heartless. I will give you one last night. Jin Weiwei said as he looked at the others.


    "Alright, everyone can go back now. I hope that the killer can admit it by himself tonight. I have already ordered people to seal the shop, if you want to escape, you can try. I would like to thank everyone here for their support. "


    Amongst the people, there was a person who looked nervous after hearing what Jin Weiwei said. His hands were clenched into fists and scattered along with the others.

 C262

    Night, was deep and quiet. A figure quietly slipped into Ji Jingzhi''s residence, and along the way, Jin Weiwei unexpectedly did not meet anyone.


    Jin Weiwei was secretly curious. Logically speaking, if she was missing, shouldn''t the residence be in a mess? How could it be so calm, to such a terrifying degree.


    Could it be that the guards didn''t dare to tell Ji Jingzhi that they had escaped?


    Although she felt it was weird, Jin Weiwei couldn''t stop riding the tiger. She had to come back, after all, it was death, come on, if there''s any kind of storm, I''ll go over it, but I''ve never seen anything like it.


    "Creak ¡­" Jin Weiwei carefully pushed open the door and entered the room. There was no light in the room and it was pitch black.


    "Oh, so he''s finally willing to come back!" Suddenly, a strange voice was heard.


    "Pa Da ¡­" The pitiful candlestick was dropped on the ground by Jin Weiwei.


    "You''re mistaken, I came to the wrong room," Saying this, he turned around and was about to run away.


    Ji Jingzhi''s night vision was much better than Jin Weiwei''s, so he quickly went forward and hugged Jin Weiwei''s waist.


    He brought Jin Weiwei to the bed and turned around to press himself onto Jin Weiwei''s body.


    "You''ve got quite the nerve, you even learned how to run. It seems like your injury isn''t too bad anymore. See how I''ll punish you."


    "No, no."


    Ji Jingzhi did not give Jin Weiwei the chance to explain, and directly blocked his mouth.


    "Ugh ¡­"


    On the morning of the second day, Jin Weiwei was tormented by someone for an entire night.


    He had to force himself to get up when he thought of the big things he had to do today.


    "It seems that your husband hasn''t done enough. I still can''t let my wife stay home obediently!" It looks like your husband will continue to work hard. "


    After Jin Weiwei heard this, he immediately jumped up from the bed, wanting to stay away from this beast.


    Ji Jingzhi looked at the fleeing Jin Weiwei, and the corner of his mouth revealed a slight smile. He did not stop Jin Weiwei because he knew what she wanted to do. If he did not know that she was safe, how could Ji Jingzhi have let her go?


    "Damned bastard, just you wait. Someday, I will turn over and become your master, and I will torture you to death." Jin Weiwei scolded that bastard Ji Jingzhi as he walked.


    Because Jin Weiwei was concerned about the matter of the shop, it was quickly tidied up. This time, he did not go out while disguised as a male, but went in and out through the main entrance.


    She had spent a lot of effort last night to persuade Ji Jingzhi not to trap her. Her wounds were already fine and she was already full of energy, persuading Ji Jingzhi not to eat anymore medicine and not to stay in the room. Jin Weiwei''s footsteps were very light. The haze of the past few days was swept away.


    Very quickly, Jin Weiwei brought the famous coroner and flour with him to the shop.


    This allowed Tao Qi to gather everyone once again. He even made Tao Qi scout the entire shop, just in case someone didn''t come and escape this investigation.


    "After a whole night, I don''t know if anyone will admit it, but I''ll give you another chance. If you don''t cherish it, don''t blame me for being ruthless."


    Jin Weiwei looked around at the people, seeing their different expressions and reactions, some were whispering to each other, some were whispering to each other, and there were 100 of them.


    After Jin Weiwei finished speaking, he realized that no one stood up to admit it.


    Without further ado, he brought the coroner and flour up. The surrounding people started to discuss among themselves, with no one knowing what Jin Weiwei was planning to do.


    "Since the real culprit is unwilling to admit it, then I will have to trouble everyone to do me a small favor." He said this to Tao Qi, and told him to prepare a piece of pork, without any good meat, it would be good as long as it had oil.


    "Yes, miss." Tao Qi immediately went to prepare.


    It was too easy to find a piece of pork in the shop. Very quickly, Tao Qi prepared the pork and placed it beside the flour. He then prepared a piece of black cloth, unfolded it, and placed it on the side.


    "Everyone has seen these things. Compared to everyone being curious about what these things are for, let me tell everyone that each of our hands is different. Some of us have big hands, some have small hands, some have long, slender fingers, while some have short, thick fingers. And these things are meant to be a copy of everyone''s hands. " As he said this, he even demonstrated it in front of everyone.


    These ancient people, it was normal for them to not know about fingerprints. However, because of the difficulty of the technique, Jin Weiwei could only replace them with hand prints.


    Jin Weiwei first touched the pork with her hands, then extended her hands into the flour, causing the flour to stick to Jin Weiwei''s hands. Then, Jin Weiwei walked in front of the black cloth and pressed both hands onto the black cloth, waiting for her hands to leave, then a handprint appeared on the black cloth.


    Jin Weiwei raised his hand and compared to the handprint on the black cloth, the handprint on the black cloth was exactly the same as the one on Jin Weiwei''s hand.


    "Everyone might be curious, but what''s the use of gathering everyone''s handprints?"


    Jin Weiwei then brought the coroner to his side.


    "This is the best coroner in our Ye City. Last night, I helped the coroner take out the thief''s handprint from the proof folder. Compared to the fact that everyone knows, as long as the thief has touched the frame of the certificate, he or she will definitely leave his or her handprint on the frame. " While Jin Weiwei was doing all these, his gaze did not leave some of the merchants on the second floor. She watched their expressions and actions.


    "Everyone just need to line up and press your handprints onto the black cloth in succession. After that, I will take out the thief''s handprints and compare them with the premiere on the black cloth to find the thief." Everyone was discussing, but no one moved forward.


    Jin Weiwei said with confidence, but in reality she did not have the hand print of a thief. After all, with her current skills, she could not do such a thing. She only made the real culprit feel guilty based on the psychology of others. She had already achieved the goal of finding the real culprit.


    "Let me go first, let me believe in Miss Weiwei," After saying that, Brother Hu, who was selling meat on the first floor, took the initiative to leave a handprint on the black cloth.


    Another handprint was imprinted on the black cloth. Compared to the other two handprints, Brother Hu''s handprint was much larger, and because Brother Hu had been chopping meat all year round, there were many calluses on his hands and index fingers. It was obvious that his index and middle fingers were thicker because of the constant exertion of strength.


    Everyone saw the comparison of the handprints on the black cloth and knew that what Jin Weiwei said was true. Everyone''s handprints were different, and they believed what Jin Weiwei had said even more.


    Jin Weiwei had been observing the people around him the entire time. While everyone was busy making hand seals, there was one person who quietly retreated.


    Jin Weiwei sneered in his heart, and his fox tail was revealed. He then immediately instructed Tao Qi who was beside him to send people to capture the retreating figure.

 C263

    Very quickly, Tao Qi sent people to catch the person that was sneakily retreating.


    "Let me go, why are you guys capturing me, what have I done? Don''t you guys have too little respect for the law? This attendant had an innocent look on his face.


    Jin Weiwei walked in front of it and circled it.


    He remembered that this attendant was the shop assistant of a meat shop on the second floor. When Jin Weiwei visited the shop yesterday, he saw this boy walk in from the first floor to the second floor in a hurry. At that time, Jin Weiwei did not care about it, nor did he expect that it was this young lad who stole his proof.


    "I didn''t expect that you were the one who swapped the proof from my shop, causing me to suffer so much torture!" Jin Weiwei sized up the attendant.


    A trace of panic flashed past attendant''s eyes, but he still remained stubborn.


    "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I steal your proof?" Don''t blame the good people. So many people are here? What evidence is there that I stole your evidence? " The attendant did not give in and continued to argue with Jin Weiwei.


    "I''ve already given you a chance, you didn''t treasure it. Since you want the evidence, then why don''t you put your handprint on the black cloth and try to escape instead?" Jin Weiwei mercilessly cut through his lies.


    Because of his nervousness, attendant''s words were not very nimble.


    "I, I, I just wanted to go to a convenience. People have three emergencies, and in this broad daylight, you can''t possibly not let me have convenience, right?" The little fellow seemed to have a sudden momentum and thought that everything he had done was only natural.


    The surrounding crowd pointed and pointed at the young man. They didn''t know whether his words were true or false, but they were all discussing what he had said.


    "Yo, you''re right. Do you want me to send someone to follow you?" "This is going to be a big battle, if you lose control in front of the government, you won''t be too nice to watch!" Jin Weiwei did not give up her suspicions because of what he said. On the contrary, she had already confirmed that he was the thief who stole the proof.


    "You, you''ve gone too far! Do you still have any laws in your eyes? " The servant realized that what he said was useless, Jin Weiwei did not believe himself. He wanted to use the king''s method to suppress Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei laughed, it was an extremely happy laugh.


    "Hahahahaha, you are truly making me laugh to death. You actually dare to talk about royal laws with me? For a person who did not even abide by the law to mention the word laws to me, is truly laughable. " Jin Weiwei turned around and looked at the young lad.


    "Why didn''t you think of the law before you did those illegal things? Since I have already done so, I will have to pay the price. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world! " At this time, Jin Weiwei''s entire body was filled with confidence, as though he was releasing light, causing people to worship him.


    "I''ve already given you a chance. It is you who did not cherish it. In that case, don''t blame me for not showing mercy."


    Jin Weiwei turned and thanked the people around him.


    "Today, I thank everyone for their help in catching this thief. Today, I will send her to the government and return my innocence."


    "Miss, there''s no need to brood over this. If it really is this person who did such an outrageous thing, Miss can be considered to have eliminated all of our troubles. With this spy by our side, we can''t be at ease!" Old Wang cupped his fists and said to Jin Weiwei.


    "Alright, thank you everyone. I will send this person to the government now." With that, Tao Qi led the man back to the official residence.


    "Let me go, let me go! Do you know who I am? If you continue to attack me like this, don''t blame me for being impolite! I am someone of the Lord Prefect!" The Prefect will definitely not spare you. " The servant saw that Jin Weiwei was serious and wanted to send it to the officials. He was afraid, hoping that saying the name of the Prefect would frighten Jin Weiwei. He let himself go.


    It was a pity that the servant was wrong, how could Jin Weiwei care about who he was? Jin Weiwei had never fought against Gongsun Minzhi, he even knew that the person who harmed her was none other than Gongsun Minzhi. How could he let go of this opportunity so easily?


    "Oh? "Really? You must remember what you just said, right? You are someone of the Lord Prefect, so when you meet him later, I hope you will still have the courage to do so." Jin Weiwei said to the young lad.


    Jin Weiwei really hoped that this little fellow could tell her the truth. She really wanted to see how Gongsun Minzhi was going to deal with this situation.


    Very quickly, Jin Weiwei brought Tao Qi and the rest to the palace to suppress the young lad and beat the crap out of them.


    How could Ji Jingzhi, who had received the news, miss out on such a good show? Very quickly, all the people related to Gongsun Minzhi, Ji Jingzhi, Jin Weiwei, and the others in the great hall had arrived.


    Jin Weiwei cupped his fist and bowed to Gongsun Minzhi, but in his heart, he was full of disdain.


    Lord, today, this humble one has caught a thief in the shop and stole this commoner''s proof of the shop, causing this commoner to be arrested without reason and tortured. Today, this humble one will bring the person who truly stole the proof of the shop up to my lord''s court.


    Jin Weiwei knew that it was Gongsun Minzhi who ordered him to change his proof into a fake one, but he did not have any evidence.


    "Oh, that''s right. Milord, I''ve forgotten to tell you. After being captured by me, you actually said that it was you who ordered him to do so. Isn''t that a bit laughable?" Jin Weiwei looked at Gongsun Minzhi. Under her beautiful face, there was a faint smile on her face.


    Gongsun Minzhi''s face became extremely ugly. He did not expect things to be like this. He knew that Jin Weiwei was scolding someone. Although his tone was one of ridicule, he was actually warning himself.


    But because of that, with Ji Jingzhi''s identity, he could not do anything to Jin Weiwei. On the contrary, he had to go along with it, causing the fire in Gongsun Minzhi''s heart to burn even more intensely.


    No matter what, Gongsun Minzhi had to state his stance, otherwise he would not be able to explain himself to Ji Jingzhi. After all, Ji Jingzhi''s status was higher than his.


    Thinking of the pros and cons, Gongsun Minzhi did not beat around the bush.


    "Men, drag this bold servant out for me to fight. You actually did such a thing on our territory, you don''t even put me in your eyes." Gongsun Minzhi ordered the servant to drag out the staff.


    "Milord, milord, please spare my life! Milord, milord, I am doing something for you, milord!" After the young lad heard Gongsun Minzhi''s words, he immediately begged for mercy, hoping that Gongsun Minzhi could bypass him.


    "What are you still standing there for?" Hurry up and let him drag us out! " After Gongsun Minzhi heard the young lad''s words, he quickly asked him to stall for time, and did not give the young lad another chance to speak.


    Gongsun Minzhi was already very angry, he did not expect this young lad to be so blind to actually shout and shout under such circumstances under such circumstances. Even if he was beaten to death, he deserved to die.

 C264

    Gongsun Minzhi sneaked a glance at Ji Jingzhi, but he did not know what Ji Jingzhi was thinking.


    Gongsun Minzhi was a smart person, he saw that Ji Jingzhi did not make any movements, and knew that Ji Jingzhi was not satisfied with the punishment, so he changed his target to Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei was Ji Jingzhi''s flesh and blood. If Jin Weiwei was satisfied, then Ji Jingzhi naturally couldn''t say anything.


    Gongsun Minzhi was indeed an elder of the government. With his clear mind and quick thinking, he was able to see the situation clearly. Walking to Jin Weiwei''s side, although Gongsun Minzhi was a Prefect, he lowered his body and bowed to Jin Weiwei.


    "Miss Kim, this matter was my fault, the Japanese official did not have a clear understanding of the situation, causing you to be wronged. I feel guilty, and now, I have also punished the real culprit, please do not bother with me, my lord." Gongsun Minzhi''s words were sincere and his clothes looked as if he was sincerely repentant, causing people to be unable to resist wanting to forgive him.


    However, Jin Weiwei would forgive him so easily. After all, it was because of her that he almost lost his life.


    "Master, what are you talking about?" Do you think you''ll forgive your enemies? What do I mean? Your excellency must be well aware of this. I don''t need to say much. Furthermore, Master, I am not a magnanimous person. I only hope that Master will be more careful in the future and not do anything that would make others uncomfortable, or else I''m afraid that I won''t be able to control myself. " Jin Weiwei did not give Gongsun Minzhi face. He hoped that Gongsun Zhi would take care of himself.


    "Yes, yes, yes, Miss Kim is right. This official will be careful in the future and definitely won''t do anything like this again." Thinking about how a little girl like you doesn''t know what''s good for you, if not for Ji Jingzhi''s sake, you would have already died countless times.


    However, he couldn''t act against Ji Jingzhi openly, and he still had to comply with everything the other two said. Gongsun Minzhi also understood what Jin Weiwei meant by this. She was warning herself not to try any of those underhanded methods again, otherwise, if she met such a lousy teammate, she would really lose her wife and become a sick soldier.


    Jin Weiwei really did not want to see his face, so she ignored him and stood up to leave the hall.


    Although Jin Weiwei had already left, Ji Jingzhi did not follow him out. There was only Ji Jingzhi and Gongsun Minzhi left in the great hall.


    Ji Jingzhi sat on the seat of honor, his face was expressionless, and it was unknown what he was thinking.


    Gongsun Minzhi looked at Ji Jingzhi, his heart beating erratically. What was Ji Jingzhi''s plan? She stood by Ji Jingzhi''s side silently, like a child undergoing judgement.


    "Gongsun Minzhi, we will be frank, I know that you were sent by the little emperor, his goal was only to catch a hold of me, to threaten me, my father, but I am afraid that you cannot do as you wish, since I already know about your plans, someone will let you off so easily, this time, I will not punish you, but it does not mean that I will let you go." Ji Jingzhi did not beat around the bush with Gongsun Minzhi and went straight to the point.


    After Gongsun Minzhi heard these words, ripples appeared in Gongsun Minzhi''s heart. She did not expect that this little prince, who usually did not reveal her talent, would actually not be brainless, but still had some ability. He had actually thoroughly investigated her actions, and even pointed out the person behind her. Despite knowing about the power behind her, she was still able to remain calm and collected. As expected, a tiger father doesn''t have a dog son. It had some of the demeanor of a Regent.


    "Today, the Japanese prince has made it clear, Jin Weiwei is a person of this prince, if anyone wants to touch her, they will have to think about whether they have the ability to. Furthermore, as long as she, Jin Weiwei, is still in the Ye City, I will make sure that you, Gongsun Minzhi, live another day. I will use your head to avenge Weiwei. " Ji Jingzhi sat upright, speaking indifferently, as though he was extremely weak, but after hearing his words, everyone felt a strange sense of power.


    "This official is terrified, I hope that Lord prince can be magnanimous and forgive me." When Gongsun Minzhi heard Ji Jingzhi''s words, he knew that the emperor wouldn''t care about a mere Prefecture Overseer like him. At that time, even if Ji Jingzhi killed him, he probably wouldn''t receive any form of punishment. Thus, this time Gongsun Minzhi was truly afraid.


    "This prince is done speaking. I hope that Master can think about it." As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and left.


    Only Gongsun Minzhi was left in the great hall. Gongsun Minzhi''s heart was filled with grief as he slowly walked to his seat. He never thought that he would end up like this.


    Jin Weiwei who had just come out did not walk far, because she discovered that Ji Jingzhi did not follow her. Jin Weiwei knew that since he hadn''t come out yet, there must be something he wanted to speak to Gongsun Minzhi about. Since he didn''t like Gongsun Minzhi, coming out would be good as well.


    So when Ji Jingzhi just walked out of the town hall, he saw Jin Weiwei at the town hall''s entrance. He knew that she was waiting for him, and he felt sweet inside.


    Ji Jingzhi quietly hugged Jin Weiwei from behind.


    Jin Weiwei turned and knocked on Ji Jingzhi''s door.


    Of course Jin Weiwei knew, other than Ji Jingzhi, who else would do this? Therefore, Ji Jingzhi was left feeling miserable.


    Ji Jingzhi looked at Jin Weiwei with a wronged expression.


    Jin Weiwei looked at the wronged Ji Jingzhi, feeling helpless.


    "What are you still standing there for?" "Let''s go!" As he spoke, he turned and ran towards the manor.


    Ji Jingzhi looked at Jin Weiwei''s bouncing back, and his heart was filled with melancholy. He followed Jin Weiwei back to the mansion.


    On the same night, Jin Weiwei was in his room preparing to rest when Ji Jingzhi came to his room.


    "Why did you come here? It''s already late at night, hurry up and go back and forth." Jin Weiwei ignored Ji Jingzhi.


    Ji Jingzhi pulled Jin Weiwei''s arm, pulled him into his embrace, and hugged him tightly. Not a word.


    "What happened to you?" Jin Weiwei realized that there was always something different about Ji Jingzhi being peaceful.


    "Weiwei, I will be leaving the Ye City tomorrow. I have already found out the people who changed their proof, and I should be returning to the capital by now. This matter has already been delayed for a long time, so I cannot delay it any longer. I don''t want to leave you. I want to be with you forever. " Ji Jingzhi was like a child, needing his comfort.


    Weiwei didn''t say anything, and only tightly hugged Ji Jingzhi.

 C265

    Ji Jingzhi caressed Jin Weiwei''s soft hair and said reluctantly: "I should go, you take good care of yourself. If there''s anything that you can''t take care of, you must tell me. No matter what, I will definitely come back and help you. "


    As Ji Jingzhi spoke to here, he remembered Jin Weiwei''s appearance when he was filled with scars in the prison, and his heart felt as if it had been twisted by a knife. When he thought about how Jin Weiwei had been sent to jail after changing his certificate, he felt so wronged that he could not breathe. Fortunately, the truth had been revealed. Jin Weiwei was saved by the agate, and everything was fine.


    Jin Weiwei rubbed his arms like an octopus in Ji Jingzhi''s embrace, unwilling to leave.


    After a long while, Jin Weiwei pushed Ji Jingzhi away with teary eyes, and stood on tiptoe to kiss Ji Jingzhi''s lips.


    Ji Jingzhi chuckled as he hugged Jin Weiwei and kissed his tears. What he could not see was his heart tearing up.


    "Let''s go. Leave quickly." Jin Weiwei curled his lips, turned his head and pushed Ji Jingzhi away. She knew, if her Little Rich Son was to continue standing here, she probably wouldn''t want him to leave, or perhaps she was planning to follow Ji Jingzhi to the capital.


    If Ji Jingzhi did not go to the capital, he would definitely anger Long Yan. At that time, the little Emperor would punish him, and she would not be able to use her blade to rush over to fight against the little Emperor?


    If he followed Ji Jingzhi to the capital, what would happen to the business here? She didn''t want to give up her dream. She wanted to count the money one day and get a cramp in her hand.


    "Alright, then I''ll be going."


    Ji Jingzhi lowered his head, concealing the trace of loneliness in his eyes, and left without turning back.


    Jin Weiwei followed Ji Jingzhi to the entrance of the Palace, and watched Ji Jingzhi leave with his eyes. She blankly stared at Ji Jingzhi''s distant figure, his figure was akin to a watchstone.


    "Miss, let''s go back. It''s not going to be a very warm day. If I stay outside for too long and get caught in the cold, how would it be good? "


    The servant said with a pained heart as she placed the cape on Jin Weiwei''s shoulders.


    Jin Weiwei hid the loneliness in his eyes, forcing himself to smile and return to the residence.


    "..."


    When it was deep into the night and everyone was quiet, everything was calm and peaceful. Everyone had already fallen into a dream, and only Jin Weiwei''s room was still lit up by an oil lamp.


    The light from the oil lamp was exceptionally dazzling in the darkness.


    Jin Weiwei sat alone in front of the table, writing down the plans for the shop.


    Initially, she had wanted to sleep, but she had no time to do so. She kept thinking about Ji Jingzhi, and all she could think about was Ji Jingzhi''s figure. Jin Weiwei was annoyed, and got up to plan the business.


    Too much, only taking care of the business, can let her cover up the feeling of yearning in her heart.


    On the second day, Jin Weiwei had already started washing his face early. After using breakfast, Jin Weiwei hurried to the shop.


    Right now, the shop had already delayed several days of business, so it was only appropriate for it to be reorganized and open for business. Otherwise, how could she earn so much?


    Thinking about it, Jin Weiwei became unhappy. Damn, it''s all because of that old witch. My money!


    Seeing Jin Weiwei, Tao Xiaoqing was overjoyed. He quickly put down what he was doing and rushed over.


    "Boss, you''re back."


    Jin Weiwei was in a great mood when he saw Tao Xiaoqing. That''s right, he had come back, he had come back, and he had earned a lot of money.


    Jin Weiwei waved his claws, telling the employees his future plans. Jin Weiwei felt so pained that he took out a lot of silver, and had the employees redecorate the shop. The shop was completely new and looked extremely noble.


    In order to celebrate his reopening, Jin Weiwei even called the lion dancer over to play.


    The store was decorated with lanterns and decorations, and the lion dancing acrobatic group at the entrance was displaying their talents with a festive atmosphere. This attracted the attention of many citizens and nobles. They all entered the shop and more or less bought some things.


    The business of the store was booming. During the whole day, Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up as he counted the silver and checked the accounts.


    Jin Weiwei was busy taking time off, as he continued to research on the matter of the squeezed oil. With someone taking care of her business, she could easily try to squeeze peanut oil out.


    On the other side of the capital, the little Emperor made his move again.


    In the imperial court, the little emperor was sitting on the throne, looking down on all the ministers.


    The minister''s voice rang out, "Long live the Emperor! Long live and long live the Emperor!"


    "Everyone, please rise."


    Perhaps the little Emperor had been an emperor for too long, but his face gradually lost its youthfulness and gained a sense of majesty.


    "Today, I have an important matter to discuss with my beloved officials. I would like to ask for their opinion."


    The little Emperor''s eyes shone as he spoke in a clear voice.


    "Your Majesty has made a wise decision. Your words are definitely the most appropriate."


    The ministers hurriedly said, their tone full of respect.


    "I think that the calligraphy officer, Shen Che, has done a great service and should be rewarded. They had specially promoted him to the rank of Minister of Justice and promoted him to the position of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice. What do you think about it? "


    When the ministers heard this, they all expressed their agreement.


    The little emperor nodded in satisfaction.


    At this moment, a different voice suddenly came from above the imperial court.


    "This subject doesn''t agree with Your Majesty''s decision."


    All the ministers turned to look at the source of the voice. The one who spoke out against it was Ji Changhuai.


    "Oh? "Shen Aiqing has done a great service by protecting him. We have conferred her the title of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Why not?"


    The little Emperor pretended to be surprised as he asked in confusion.


    "This humble subject believes that Minister Shen is a kind-hearted, generous and loving man, and as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, he should be fierce and decisive. Minister Shen is truly unsuitable for carrying out this important task. "I beg Your Majesty to reconsider."


    Ji Changhuai thought that the little emperor was paranoid. Maybe he guessed that Shen Che was one of his men and wanted to intentionally take him on to probe him out, so he pretended to oppose it to dispel the little emperor''s concerns.


    When the little Emperor heard this, he raised his eyebrows, which was quite interesting. Wasn''t he trying to recruit a trusted aide? This blind Regent actually thought of disobeying him. Could it be that he felt that he couldn''t punish him and wanted to challenge him?


    However, although the little Emperor thought like this, he didn''t reveal it on the surface. As an emperor, he naturally knew that a true superior shouldn''t show his emotions on his face. At that time, if someone with ulterior motives were to find out something, it would not be a good thing.


    The little emperor had already planned to bring Shen Che along so that he could ask for the opinion of the ministers.


    "I feel that''s not the case. With this Shen Aimin''s gentle personality, it is indeed inappropriate for her to be the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice." However, Shen Aiqing was loyal to her lord and loved her people. She would definitely do her best to complete this task. Please do not worry too much, Regent. "


    Seeing that, Ji Changhuai could only give up.


    "Very well, since that''s the case, then I shall draft an edict bestowing upon you 10,000 gold taels as a reward for bestowing the title of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice."


    "The Emperor is wise!"

 C266

    The sun was warm and the years were calm. Jin Weiwei sat in the backyard of the shop on the third floor.


    They just saw that beside Jin Weiwei, there were a lot of peanuts and residue. It could be seen that she had already failed many times.


    However, our Jin Weiwei is not a person who gives up easily. To her, it is not that hard to squeeze peanut oil out, it was just that she is lacking something, so she did not press it successfully.


    "Why can''t I squeeze it out? "Where did the problem come from?"


    Jin Weiwei frowned, feeling gloomy. She tried her best to recall the process of extracting oil that she had witnessed before in modern times. What part was wrong?


    Jin Weiwei thought about it, but was unable to come up with anything. A young child stood by the side. It was Tao Xiaoqing.


    "Sister, let''s eat first. You don''t have to be in a hurry to do something. " Tao Xiaoqing cared about Jin Weiwei and gave him some snacks.


    Jin Weiwei was a little disappointed. She tried her best to cheer for herself. It wasn''t difficult to squeeze out oil. He wasn''t an idiot. He could definitely squeeze out good oil.


    "There''s no rush ¡­" Jin Weiwei repeated himself over and over again. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind.


    "Got it!"


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes lit up, she suddenly stood up, her mood good. Through Tao Xiaoqing''s words, she still had an appropriate method.


    Jin Weiwei already knew that the reason why she had failed three times before was because of the timing. He really wanted to squeeze out the peanut oil as soon as possible.


    "I can''t eat hot tofu in a hurry." There was nothing wrong with his words because every time he squeezed peanut oil, he ended up failing.


    The ancient peanuts were actually of a lower quality than modern peanuts. After all, in ancient times, there were no advanced and new equipment. Peanut was naturally grown, so much so that it was not as plump as modern peanut.


    Yet, he had used the modern time to squeeze peanut oil in this time and space. It would be a wonder if he did not fail to squeeze peanut oil out. Furthermore, the oil extraction equipment here was not as good as the ones today.


    Now that he understood his own shortcomings and the reason for his failure, the rest was easy to deal with.


    Jin Weiwei was extremely excited, she did not care about eating anymore. Her stomach rumbled as if she couldn''t hear it. She could not smell the fragrance of the food. Right now, she was wholeheartedly studying on how to extract the oil.


    His hard work paid off, and he finally ¡­


    "Success, that''s great!"


    Jin Weiwei cheered and jumped in joy. He looked as happy as a child getting a candy.


    Seeing that, Tao Xiaoqing was happy for Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei immediately poured all of the squeezed peanut oil into the barrel he had prepared beforehand. Golden peanut oil flowed into the barrel. Jin Weiwei was extremely happy, the peanut oil was golden in her eyes.


    Roar ~ ~ He earned money again.


    Jin Weiwei already started to imagine the situation where the peanut oil was exchanged for a bunch of money. Her eyes were bright, her hands were clasped, and she looked wild with joy.


    Jin Weiwei was ecstatic, he did not forget to tell the big news to the employees of the shop. She carried the oil barrel and skipped to the first floor to tell everyone the good news.


    When everyone heard this, they revealed looks of pleasant surprise and all congratulated Jin Weiwei. However, there were also many people who raised doubts.


    A worker in light-colored clothes blinked his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Indeed, it''s not bad that this peanut can be used to extract oil." However, could he eat this oil ¡­ That should be the crux of the problem, right? "


    "That''s right, it looks pretty good. It''s just that even if you can''t eat it, you won''t be able to."


    "..."


    When Jin Weiwei heard this, he remained calm and collected. She had already guessed that people would be suspicious, but that was fine. At most, he would just have to prove it himself. At that time, he would be able to blind them with his titanium alloy eyes.


    After Jin Weiwei heard everyone''s words, the corner of his mouth slightly rose, revealing a confident and mysterious smile. She did not intend to defend herself. There was no basis for her words. If they could come up with evidence to convince them that peanut oil was indeed edible, then it would be the best.


    "Xiaoqing, take this oil into the kitchen and have it stir-fry a few dishes."


    Tao Xiaoqing had always trusted Jin Weiwei. Hearing his words, he took the peanut oil and went to the kitchen.


    Soon, the fragrance of delicious food drifted out from the kitchen. Everyone could not help but sniff. It was so fragrant. Could it be that the dishes made from peanut oil could really be eaten? People unconsciously changed their minds.


    At this moment, the chef brought the dishes to everyone and placed them on the table.


    Seeing the dishes that were emitting an alluring fragrance, everyone''s appetite was hooked. Originally, they had eaten lunch, but now that they were attracted by the soul attracting taste, they wanted to eat again.


    However, there shouldn''t be any problems with the dish, right? They had never heard of peanut oil cooking before. Everyone was hesitating, not daring to rashly take down their chopsticks.


    Seeing that, Jin Weiwei laughed and did not speak, she took the lead to taste the dishes. The fragrance of the dishes overflowed into the surroundings, and Jin Weiwei instantly felt refreshed.


    It''s really good. It''s delicious.


    Jin Weiwei was overjoyed, and quickly recommended everyone to taste it.


    "Quick, quick, try it! It''s really delicious!"


    Jin Weiwei said in a skipping manner, everyone was already accustomed to Jin Weiwei''s manner, and seeing that Jin Weiwei was fine after eating, they relaxed their guard, and began to taste the dishes one by one.


    Someone suddenly stood up and excitedly said, "Yes, it''s really delicious."


    "It''s so delicious, I''ve never eaten anything so delicious in my life before." One of them ate the food, so moved that he started crying.


    "Delicious, this peanut oil is really good."


    "..."


    After everyone tasted it, they were filled with endless praises. There was not a single person who couldn''t say for sure.


    Seeing that, Jin Weiwei was very pleased. His hard work was not in vain, he still received a reward.


    Jin Weiwei saw that the peanut oil was indeed good, and immediately got someone to buy a bunch of peanuts. In the past few days, she had been wholeheartedly squeezing peanut oil, a total of four jars full of it.


    What a great feeling, this thing could definitely be sold for a lot.


    Jin Weiwei muttered to himself, his tone revealing an uncontrollable excitement.


    Jin Weiwei quickly placed the peanut oil in the most obvious place at the entrance. She wanted every guest to be able to see the peanut oil. This was her signature, and this was her money tree.


    Of course, to convince everyone that peanut oil was edible. Jin Weiwei even asked the best chef to make a few small dishes out of peanut oil. Meat, vegetables, and vegetables were all available.


    These dishes were placed next to four jars of peanut oil for people to taste.


    Jin Weiwei intentionally hung a sign beside the dishes, stating that this was something that everyone could taste for free. He also stated that the dishes were fried with peanut oil and its nutritional value. All in all, he told her all the benefits of peanut oil.

 C267

    Sure enough, whether it was ancient times or modern times, the free power was enormous. When the pedestrians on the street saw the free sign in the shop, they all stopped and arrived at the entrance of Jin''s Food Shop. They surrounded the entrance of the Jin family food store tightly.


    The pedestrians on the street were whispering to each other about the items displayed by the shop. No one had seen the peanut oil and stir-fried vegetables before. They were all discussing what it was and what it was used for.


    Seeing so many people, Tao Xiaoqing was also very excited in his heart. Seeing that everyone was still interested, he believed that the boss would sell a lot of peanut oil.


    "What is this thing? It''s free? Is it edible? But it looks pretty scary, I don''t know if it can be eaten. If this isn''t a good idea, then it''s not worth it." A person in the crowd said.


    Indeed, when something new appeared, people would usually find it hard to accept. However, the progress of the era was only able to make social progress through time and time again. He would be the first one to eat the crab.


    Suddenly, a person walked out from the crowd. Ask for the price.


    "How much is this peanut oil?"


    Tao Xiaoqing saw that someone was asking for the price so he quickly went forward to explain.


    In order to thank the old and new customers, our boss has decided to sell the peanut oil at a cost of 80 yuan per jar. As long as you use this peanut oil as the dish, the fragrance will spread everywhere, and it will be 20 yuan cheaper than lard. If you buy it, it will be very worthwhile. I guarantee that what you buy will be worth it. " Tao Xiaoqing introduced the peanut oil very excitedly.


    Although Tao Xiaoqing''s words were very alluring, but everyone wanted to hear it and see what it was all about.


    This made Tao Xiaoqing anxious.


    The free brand had indeed attracted a large number of people, but because no one had seen it before, no one dared to try it. Although it was free, the results received were minimal.


    The pedestrians who were on the streets all left after watching the show.


    Originally, Jin Weiwei was happy to see so many people surrounding him at the door. How could someone not have business, but when the crowd slowly dispersed, Jin Weiwei knew that the ancient people were not like the modern people who were willing to try anything new.


    In ancient times, most people were conservative. This kind of character prevented them from trying anything new. Just like what happened today, once you saw it, it would be over if you joined in on the fun.


    Jin Weiwei walked to the door, looking at the passersby who ignored her peanut butter.


    "F * cking hell, these bunch of ancient people are really pedantic. Hmph, they don''t even know how to collect such good stuff." Jin Weiwei returned to the shop in anger, wondering how he could open up a market for peanut oil.


    At this time, Tao Xiaoqing also walked over to Jin Weiwei''s side with a face full of self-blame.


    "Boss, sorry, it''s my fault, I didn''t sell it. It''s all Xiaoqing''s fault."


    How could Jin Weiwei blame Tao Xiaoqing? Making people accept a new item was not an easy thing to do.


    "Peng, what nonsense are you talking about? If you can''t sell it, you can''t sell it. What''s there to sigh about? People think of ways. Since they don''t want to accept it, then think of a way to make them accept it!" Jin Weiwei knocked on Tao Xiaoqing''s head.


    After Tao Xiaoqing heard this, he was suddenly enlightened, and he immediately reverted back to his smiley face.


    "As expected of the boss, he''s amazing. No matter what happens in your hands, it''s nothing." Xiaoqing is full of admiration for you, what Jade Emperor, Tathagata Buddha, they are all just dishes in front of you. " Tao Xiaoqing flattered Jin Weiwei.


    Hearing what Tao Xiaoqing said, Jin Weiwei''s mood also became cheerful.


    "What do you mean a dish? It''s a piece of cake. Looks like I need you to study more!" Jin Weiwei said to Tao Xiaoqing helplessly.


    "Yes, yes, yes. Boss, what dishes do you mean by that?" Tao Xiaoqing was smiling.


    Suddenly, Jin Weiwei seemed to have thought of something, and his face became serious.


    "Wait, Tao Xiaoqing, what did you just say?"


    "Ah," Tao Xiaoqing looked at the solemn Jin Weiwei, not knowing what had happened.


    "Did, did I say something?"


    "What was the last sentence you said?" Jin Weiwei continued to ask.


    "One last sentence, one last sentence, oh, what dishes are you talking about? What dishes are you talking about?"


    "No, that''s not it. One more time," Jin Weiwei stubbornly asked Tao Xiaoqing.


    Tao Xiaoqing, I really don''t know what I said. Looking at my boss''s impatient expression, I tried my best to think back to what I said.


    "Oh, I remember! I''m saying that you are worthy of being the boss. You are indeed powerful. No matter what it is, it isn''t a matter in your hands. Xiaoqing is full of admiration for you, what Jade Emperor? Tathagata Buddha is simply a dish in front of you ¡­ "


    After hearing what Tao Xiaoqing said, Jin Weiwei suddenly stood up. He seemed exceptionally excited.


    "Yes, yes, that''s it. I have a plan. Hahahaha." Jin Weiwei laughed loudly.


    Tao Xiaoqing was confused, he did not know what was going on with his boss.


    "Xiaoqing, you''ve really helped me out greatly today." Jin Weiwei patted Tao Xiaoqing''s shoulder and said.


    "No, nothing." Although Tao Xiaoqing didn''t know what he had said, he was naturally very happy to help the boss.


    "Boss, what did you think of to make you so happy?" Tao Xiaoqing was extremely curious, as to how his boss could get so excited.


    Jin Weiwei smiled mysteriously.


    "We need a spokesperson." Jin Weiwei slowly said.


    "Speaker? "Who is the spokesperson?" Tao Xiaoqing still didn''t understand.


    But this time, Jin Weiwei did not explain. Instead, he gave Tao Xiaoqing a mission.


    "Xiaoqing, go check out the temples and temples with the most influence in Ye City."


    Although Tao Xiaoqing did not understand what the spokesperson meant, he still left without saying anything to complete the mission that Jin Weiwei gave him.


    While walking, he muttered, "Speaker, is the spokesperson related to the temple? Could it be that the boss wants the monk and Taoist to speak up for us? How is that possible? I don''t understand. "


    Ignoring Tao Xiaoqing who was struggling to leave, Jin Weiwei, who had found a way out, was naturally in a very good mood.


    Thinking about how she would spend so much silver in her arms, Jin Weiwei started to giggle from his seat. If he didn''t know, he would probably treat her like a ''patient''.

 C268

    Jin Weiwei had a plan in his heart, he would do it no matter what, so he himself was not idle either. He ran to the backyard and got Tao Qi to prepare a jar of peanut oil, then 990 grams of fragrant oil.


    That''s right, Jin Weiwei had set his sights on the monk and Taoist.


    He intended to use the peanut oil and 990 yuan as a gift to these outlaws.


    Everyone knew that extroverts could not eat meat, especially ancient families. The food they ate was not oily, and Jin Weiwei only knew this because of Tao Xiaoqing''s Tathagata Buddha.


    If everyone could accept the peanut oil, then it would be great news for these outlaws.


    Just as Jin Weiwei was preparing everything, Tao Xiaoqing, who went out to gather information, also rushed back at the same time.


    It was easy to find famous temples and Taoist temples in the Ye City. After all, people of this era were all superstitious.


    Therefore, it was very easy for Tao Xiaoqing to find temples and temples that everyone believed in and believed in.


    "Boss, boss, I heard that the most famous temple in Ye City is the Jia Mi Temple which is located on the outskirts of the east side of the Ye City. There was also the eastern suburb of Yunhe Temple, because there was a master who knew how to count marriage in the temple. "The head of the Jia Mi Temple, Yun and the Head of the Monastery, grudges over the corruption of his magic name." Tao Xiaoqing was obviously very anxious, as he ran back while panting and said a large part of the story to Jin Weiwei in one breath.


    "Also, there''s more. Boss, boss, you don''t know, in the past, even though I know these two places, but after today''s inquiry, I found out that our Ye City and the Jia Mi Temple are actually so effective. Everyone says that the Taoist of the Mi Temple and the abbot of the Jia Mi Temple are gods that have descended from the heavens." Tao Xiaoqing said to Jin Weiwei as if he completely trusted the two divine beings.


    Jin Weiwei did not bother to give Tao Xiaoqing a chance, he thought that what he said was caused by everyone spreading rumors that way, how could he be so powerful, he was a talent of the 21st century, he had seen everything before.


    Seeing that Jin Weiwei did not seem to be interested, Tao Xiaoqing was not willing to give up. It was as if he was afraid that the boss would offend the god, and so he quickly told Jin Weiwei about the two god''s miracles.


    "Boss, listen to me, I heard that there was a family in the past, and both of them had been married for more than ten years without any children. As the saying goes, if you don''t be filial, you will have nothing to gain from it, so the mother of this husband always made things difficult for the daughter-in-law, and instigated her own son to divorce his wife. However, this husband doesn''t think that this is a big deal, he also loves his wife very much, so he has always tried to convince his mother, but this wife couldn''t bear to see her husband and mother-in-law in trouble, so she went to the Jia Mi Temple to beg. Tao Xiaoqing was extremely excited.


    "Pregnant!" Jin Weiwei said casually.


    "That''s right. After she came back from the Jia Mi Temple, her wife became pregnant and gave birth to a big fat boy." Tao Xiaoqing was especially happy, as if he had gotten a big fat boy.


    "There''s more, there''s more. I also heard that this Daoist Yun He Temple is very strange. Everyone says that his marriage is very accurate, but there aren''t many people who have actually seen him. Is he that famous because of a single sentence? "


    Jin Weiwei did not really believe what Tao Xiaoqing had said in the first place, and adding that he said such a profound thing, Jin Weiwei did not believe it even more. He listened to the story the whole time, but when he heard this strange story, he became interested in it. He wanted to know what it was that made him so famous that everyone would believe him.


    Seeing that his boss was finally interested, Tao Xiaoqing began to keep him in suspense. Ye Zichen looked at the people around him meaningfully.


    "The world is different. This place is just right in front of my eyes." Tao Xiaoqing said proudly, as if he was the only one who knew.


    When Jin Weiwei heard this, his hand trembled, and the teacup in his hand dropped to the ground.


    "What did you say?" Jin Weiwei thought that he heard wrongly. How could it be, how could it be, could it be that there really is someone who knows that I am not a person of this world.


    Seeing his own boss being so excited, Tao Xiaoqing repeated what he had just said once again.


    These words had a huge impact on Jin Weiwei. She had always thought that her coming to this world was an accident, but today, she felt that it was possible that she had not come to this world by accident.


    Since he had the chance to go, why not make use of this opportunity and investigate what was going on? After that, he decided to first head towards the eastern suburbs, Yun He Monastery.


    As for the reason, other than the fact that she was an unusual person, it was because of the relationship between Jin Weiwei and the two of them. The main reason was because Jin Weiwei was not a person of this era, and he didn''t know whether or not her relationship with Ji Jingzhi could blossom and bear fruit.


    Or could it be that one day, she would leave Ji Jingzhi and return to her original world? Then, what should they do about their relationship? The two of them were not married yet, so they had to be of equal status in the ancient times. She was a merchant, a scholar, a farmer, and a merchant of the lowest class.


    Although Jin Weiwei seemed to be an open-minded person, she was actually a meticulous person. What would become of their relationship?


    Although Jin Weiwei came from the modern world, and believed in science even more, she could come to this world, so what else could she not believe in? These things were all things she believed in, even if she couldn''t get the answers she wanted, and even if she could make a name for herself with her peanut oil, making money was still very important. It was a worthwhile trip to be able to complete this mission.


    "Tao Xiaoqing, go find a carriage, and then move the peanut oil I prepared into the carriage. It''s a little late today, and tomorrow morning, we''ll head towards the eastern suburbs of Yun He Temple." Jin Weiwei instructed Tao Xiaoqing.


    Because it was late today, Jin Weiwei decided to set off early tomorrow morning to head towards the eastern suburbs of Yun He Temple.


    After that, he left the Jin family store and strolled aimlessly on the streets full of pedestrians, thinking about how long he had been in this world.


    From the time he had discovered his own mysterious space, met Ji Jingzhi, experienced some tribulations with him, fell in love with him, and left him here, only then did Jin Weiwei realize that he had already been in this world for a very long time. From his initial unaccustomed state to how he was now like a fish in water, piece by piece, they all passed by in front of his eyes again.


    As he slowly walked to Ji Jingzhi''s residence, although Ji Jingzhi had already left, Jin Weiwei was still not used to Ji Jingzhi leaving. He had always thought that Lu Li was waiting for him at the mansion, so he went back to his room and slept peacefully.

 C269

    It was yet another new day, and the sunlight was shining into the room. Jin Weiwei, whose eyes were hazy and hazy, was awoken by the sunlight, and after sleeping for a while, Jin Weiwei had long thrown all other messy matters to the back of his mind.


    The melancholy of last night''s sleep had disappeared long ago, and the day in his heart was yet another new Jin Weiwei.


    Because he knew that he was going to the eastern suburbs of Yun He Monastery today, Jin Weiwei didn''t sleep lazily like before. After he woke up, he quickly got up and packed his stuff, preparing to go to the Cloud Peace temple.


    After Jin Weiwei finished packing, he coincidentally walked to the entrance of the mansion while leading the carriage.


    "Boss, boss, I''ve already packed all the things you''ve prepared, can we set off now?" Seeing Jin Weiwei coming out, Tao Xiaoqing anxiously went forward to welcome him.


    Seeing Tao Xiaoqing being so enthusiastic, Jin Weiwei naturally did not have the heart to ruin his enthusiasm.


    Ever since he let Tao Xiaoqing inquire about the Ye City''s famous temple and temple, Tao Xiaoqing had been especially enchanted with these two places. He was naturally very excited to know that he could go with his boss this time.


    "Alright, look at how happy you are. Let''s go. We''re heading out." Jin Weiwei did not delay any further, and with Tao Xiaoqing''s support, he got on the carriage.


    Because they were in the outskirts of the city and the road was not easy to travel on, in order to prevent bumpiness, Tao Xiaoqing had placed a thick cushion on the seats of the horse carriage.


    Jin Weiwei got on the carriage, discovered this matter, and secretly praised this Xiaoqing in his heart. He did not expect the normally carefree Tao Xiaoqing to actually have such a meticulous time.


    Along the way, Tao Xiaoqing chattered away while riding on the carriage. Jin Weiwei didn''t bother to pay attention to him as he just sat in the carriage and watched the scenery outside the window.


    Looking at the scenery outside the window changing rapidly, Jin Weiwei suddenly thought of something. When Ji Jingzhi left, was it also like that?


    Jin Weiwei thought about Ji Jingzhi who had left, his heart was worried, he did not know if Ji Jingzhi had safely reached the capital, or if he had met with any danger on the way, or if the journey to the capital was smooth.


    Jin Weiwei looked at the scenery on the way here, thought about Ji Jingzhi, and then pulled himself back to reality.


    After all, Ji Jingzhi was not by his side right now, and although he was worried about him, he couldn''t do anything either. There was nothing he could do, his main job right now was to sell his peanut oil, and then sell it all, making money was the way to go.


    Jin Weiwei quickly adjusted his mood, and made preparations to meet the Absurd Taoist-head.


    The horse carriage slowly drove on the road, and after a long ride, they finally arrived at their destination.


    Jin Weiwei cursed in his heart. Ancient transportation was simply too slow, with such a short distance, he actually still had to walk for such a long time, causing Jin Weiwei''s entire body to ache. If this was in the modern era, this would have been solved in a few minutes.


    After Jin Weiwei got off the car, he hurriedly stretched his arms and legs, allowing the sore pain on his body to somewhat alleviate.


    Jin Weiwei and Tao Xiaoqing arrived at the front of the temple, only to see a young Daoist standing guard outside. When they saw Jin Weiwei get off the carriage, they walked towards him.


    The little Daoist walked in front of Jin Weiwei and very politely nodded at Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei also politely returned the greeting to the little Daoist.


    "May I ask, is Benefactor Jin a Benefactor?" The little Daoist asked Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei was shocked. He didn''t know how this little Taoist knew about him. Could someone have told the monastery in advance?


    "This one is," although Jin Weiwei did not understand, he nodded and replied.


    The little Daoist was not surprised by Jin Weiwei''s reply and continued to speak with Jin Weiwei, "Benefactor, please come in. Absurd Taoist-head has been waiting for you for a long time."


    As he said that, he led the way and brought Jin Weiwei to the small hall behind Yun He Monastery.


    Hearing the little Daoist''s words, Jin Weiwei was even more surprised. He didn''t think that this Absurd Taoist-head actually had some skills, and was even more looking forward to seeing this Absurd Taoist-head.


    Very quickly, the little Daoist brought Jin Weiwei and to the Main Hall.


    "Daoist Priest only invites Almsgiver Jin. Please follow me. I will show you around the monastery." The little Daoist said to Tao Xiaoqing who was beside Jin Weiwei.


    Hearing this, Tao Xiaoqing was a little unhappy. He thought that he could meet this mysterious Taoist, but did not expect that he would actually miss it like this. But he had no choice, Tao Xiaoqing could only leave with the little Daoist.


    Before he left, the little Daoist said to Jin Weiwei.


    "The Taoist said he was waiting for you at the back of the hall. You can see him from there." Then, he brought Tao Xiaoqing and left.


    After the little Daoist and Tao Xiaoqing left, Jin Weiwei looked at the scenery and walked towards the back of the hall by himself.


    Yun He had been built on a mountain in the outskirts of the city, and the scenery inside the mountain was very beautiful. As Jin Weiwei walked, he appreciated the beautiful scenery on the mountain. He felt a lot more peaceful.


    Passing through the main hall, the scenery in front of Jin Weiwei became clear and bright. Behind the main hall was an empty area with a small pavilion, and other places had green vegetables and some flowers and plants.


    Looking at it made Jin Weiwei excited in his heart, he never thought that he would see some green vegetables in the Taoist temple, these were naturally harmless green vegetables. If it were in the modern era, where would one be able to eat it? In the modern era, this would be considered money.


    Jin Weiwei stared at the green vegetables. Her eyes were filled with sparkling silver.


    Jin Weiwei thought that the temple would grow some vegetables to satisfy their daily needs, but he never thought that he would actually be lucky enough to see it.


    And then he thought about how he was in this era and he didn''t have any random additives. These vegetables seemed to be a very normal thing to do. Everyone was eating green, harmless vegetables. He felt a little disappointed when he thought about how his plan to earn money had been broken just like that.


    Don''t look at how Jin Weiwei was thinking, it actually didn''t take long.


    Soon enough, Jin Weiwei''s attention landed on the small pavilion in the middle of the empty ground.


    Because Jin Weiwei had yet to arrive at the small pavilion, and was not able to clearly see the situation within.


    There was only one person sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, but because of the distance, his face could not be seen clearly.


    Jin Weiwei slowly walked towards the small pavilion, and the faces of the people inside the pavilion became more and more distinct.


    Slowly walking to the front of the small pavilion, Jin Weiwei could already see the mysterious Absurd Taoist-head very clearly.


    He saw that the Absurd Taoist-head sitting in the pavilion was dressed in a green daoist robe, with a peaceful face, long silver hair, and a white beard.


    Absurd Taoist-head played with the tea set on the table as if nothing had happened. He took out a teacup and placed it in front of him.

 C270

    Absurd Taoist-head put down the teapot, smiled at Jin Weiwei and said, "Benefactor, please sit!"


    Jin Weiwei nodded slightly, smiled and sat opposite of Absurd Taoist-head.


    Seeing the Absurd Taoist-head pouring tea for him, Jin Weiwei knew that this Taoist had a deep understanding into the Way of Tea.


    In the modern world, Jin Weiwei once had the privilege of learning the tea culture and knowing that it was best to pour 70% of the tea leaves, Absurd Taoist-head poured 70%. The tea was poured without any spills. It was truly an excellent cup of tea.


    Jin Weiwei didn''t know if it was a coincidence, or if this Taoist was really capable. This was because Jin Weiwei had come to this world only to deal with business and relationships, but not to pay attention to the requirements for tea in this world.


    Seeing Jin Weiwei had sat down, the Taoist leader gestured for Jin Weiwei to taste the tea.


    Jin Weiwei did not hold back, he raised his teacup and took a sip. The tea was rich in his mouth, and the aroma of tea filled the air.


    Although Jin Weiwei had some understanding of the Way of Tea, he didn''t have a deep understanding either. However, even someone like Jin Weiwei, who did not understand much about tea, could feel that it was a good tea. Not only that, but the water used to brew the tea must also be a rare and precious mountain spring water.


    Jin Weiwei was overjoyed, and naturally would not be stingy with his good words.


    Putting down the teacup, he said to the Absurd Taoist-head, "The Taoist grew good tea. It''s all thanks to Taoist-sir that I was able to drink such a good tea today." Jin Weiwei said politely to the Absurd Taoist-head.


    "Outsiders pay attention to the word ''fate''. Assembling is fate, and dispersing is also destiny." A pinch of tea, picked from the tea tree was made into tea, ultimately became a cup of tea in your hand, is a kind of fate. It is also a kind of fate for a person in the vast sea of people to get to know each other and eventually become friends with you. Friends are as light as water, but isn''t it also like the light fragrance of tea? " Absurd Taoist-head said something related to tea.


    "Dao leader is right. Isn''t it fate that the two of us are gathered here today?" Jin Weiwei also followed the words of the Absurd Taoist-head, explaining that the two of them were fated to be together.


    "Benefactor is intelligent! Exactly. If they were not destined to meet, then why would we meet again today? " The Absurd Taoist-head said indifferently.


    Jin Weiwei was not a person with a slow personality in the first place. Coming to this place today, his mood was indeed much more relaxed than usual, but there was something in Jin Weiwei''s heart, and after seeing Absurd Taoist-head, he was even more curious to know what he was thinking.


    He then asked the Daoist directly, "Does the Daoist know that I will be here today?"


    "Benefactor has already said so, meeting is a kind of fate. The old Taoist did not know that Benefactor would come, but a few magpies flew over from the window today. One of them has a golden feather in its mouth. Thus, I guessed that a distinguished guest would arrive today. And your esteemed guest''s surname is Jin. " Absurd Taoist-head''s expression did not change.


    Jin Weiwei understood in his heart, so that''s how it was. He did not expect that Daoist Priest would be able to deduce so much based on such a small matter. Indeed, he did have some cultivation experience.


    However, that''s right. This Yun He Monastery had an illustrious reputation in terms of Ye City for a long time. Wouldn''t that be making others laugh and look down on him?


    "Dao leader, this humble daughter came today to ask a few questions. Visit the Taoist can be patient, for the girl''s questions to solve. This humble girl will be forever grateful, and will definitely repay the Taoist for his kindness. "


    This time, besides Peanut Oil, Jin Weiwei wanted to ask some questions.


    Without waiting for Jin Weiwei to speak, Absurd Taoist-head opened his mouth and said, "Because of the fruits of my previous life, I will be safe for now!"


    Jin Weiwei was shocked in his heart. As expected, this Absurd Taoist-head was not ordinary, to actually be able to tell that she came from another world.


    Jin Weiwei thought about the words of the Absurd Taoist-head, "Just take it as it is." Jin Weiwei was puzzled.


    Then he asked the Absurd Taoist-head another question: "May I ask Dao leader, do you mind about the previous world? This life''s marriage, is it good? " Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but ask the question he wanted to ask her the most. He wanted to know if she and Ji Jingzhi could be together.


    Her Little Rich Son was extremely fond of her, if she could not walk together with him, wouldn''t she die from grievance? That was why Jin Weiwei asked Absurd Taoist-head this question. This was the question that she was most concerned about.


    When these words came out, Jin Weiwei instantly held her breath. She waited, waiting for the Absurd Taoist-head to give her the answer to this question.


    Absurd Taoist-head also did not say a word, he only sized up Jin Weiwei quietly, and looked at his appearance and voice. Jin Weiwei was not anxious, she knew that she could not rush this matter, and the Absurd Taoist-head was letting her check, she could not rush this matter. After an unknown period of time, Absurd Taoist-head finally withdrew his gaze.


    Absurd Taoist-head shook his head and frowned.


    "The journey in my previous life went smoothly, and has already reached its end. Once reincarnated, to this world, found the favor of a husband, the heart of secret approval, a pair of wonderful people, it is indeed a great honor. We have already gotten married, but there are difficulties and obstacles in our way. "


    When Jin Weiwei heard this, she was greatly shocked, and was unable to recover from her shock for a long time. What? How could it be so difficult, but how could it be good? Who knew what would happen to the two of them? It was truly frightening.


    When Jin Weiwei thought about this, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.


    Absurd Taoist-head also did not say anything, he only looked at the beauty in front of him quietly.


    "Benefactor, all of this is fate. The heavens have their own plans. Everything had its fate. There is a reason and there is a result. It cannot be changed. "


    Absurd Taoist-head said to Jin Weiwei, his tone revealing his regret.


    Jin Weiwei''s face was filled with worry, her eyebrows knitted, obviously unable to accept this fact. But what could she do? This matter was not up to her to choose. Just as the Absurd Taoist-head had said, "All of these have a destiny, a cause and a consequence", this could not be changed.


    However ¡­ Absurd Taoist-head had never said that she and Little Rich Son wouldn''t be able to be together in the end. In other words, he still had a chance.


    In order to confirm his guess, Jin Weiwei did not give up and asked the Absurd Taoist-head, "May I ask head if I, this humble woman, can live with him for the rest of my life?"


    Jin Weiwei''s face was full of anticipation as he waited for Absurd Taoist-head to answer.


    But who knew, the Absurd Taoist-head would actually not answer.


    Absurd Taoist-head shook his head, and laughed lightly: "Do not say, do not say."


    "This... "Well, it''s a bit more than that." Jin Weiwei was a little disappointed when he heard this. Why? The others can talk about it, but why not talk about it? What was this logic?


    Jin Weiwei was a little worried, she couldn''t help but be worried for her and Little Rich Son''s future. What would the future be like?

 C271

    Jin Weiwei thought hard about it, thought about the days to come, and also thought about ways to deal with some difficult situations. However, she didn''t know what difficulties and dangers lay ahead. All she knew was that the road ahead was not flat. There were many twists and turns between him and Little Rich Son for the rest of their lives. As for whether they could still be together, she had no idea.


    Jin Weiwei and the Absurd Taoist-head discussed some more topics, and benefited greatly from it.


    The two of them sipped tea together and savored the refreshments, enjoying their leisure time together. Only, Jin Weiwei''s expression was not very good. Her eyes were filled with panic, as if she had nowhere to place her hands and feet. Jin Weiwei was weighed down by his worries, but he did not want to show any actions that would cause him to lose his composure. He could only suppress the worry in his heart and continue chatting with Absurd Taoist-head.


    However, Absurd Taoist-head was still a Taoist and his cultivation was very deep, so every word he said could make Jin Weiwei feel touched. Jin Weiwei had a feeling that this trip was worth it.


    Unknowingly, the sun began to rise in the west and the sky started to darken. As the sky darkened, Jin Weiwei and the Absurd Taoist-head actually chatted for five hours.


    Jin Weiwei looked at the sky which had already begun to turn black, and a hint of astonishment flashed across her beautiful eyes. Why had he stayed here for such a long time? Could the people in the mansion be worried about him?


    As he thought about it, Jin Weiwei suddenly had the intention to leave.


    Jin Weiwei blessed himself and thanked the Absurd Taoist-head.


    "This humble daughter thanks Absurd Taoist-head for answering her questions and worries, and also wishes to thank you for your gracious hospitality. It was late now, and the girl should have left. This humble one has already memorized this Taoist''s kindness. If possible, this humble one will do my best to repay this Taoist''s kindness. "


    When the Absurd Taoist-head heard this, he laughed heartily. Absurd Taoist-head could not help but think, this girl was truly powerful, her mouth was like honey, just by opening her mouth, she was able to say many pleasing words.


    After bidding farewell to the Absurd Taoist-head, Jin Weiwei walked away gracefully and left slowly. Jin Weiwei''s heart was heavy, a dense amount of worry surged into her heart, causing her to feel troubled. Jin Weiwei''s expression was gloomy, her eyes were filled with worry, causing people to feel pity.


    Jin Weiwei was worried, his face was gloomy, the smirk on his face that he had finally managed to force out was already gone. Only a look of deep worry appeared on her delicate face.


    Jin Weiwei slowly walked along the cobblestone path, his heart heavy with worry. She murmured to herself: Well, what difficulty will there be for herself and little Fugui in the future? It was really annoying, damn it, why didn''t he let Little Rich Son and himself live a good life? What difficulties and obstacles would he and he encounter? How should he deal with it?


    The more Jin Weiwei thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and the more worried he became. As she thought about it, a layer of mist appeared in her beautiful eyes. Tears slowly fell from her delicate face, falling onto her chin and finally falling onto her sexy collarbone.


    However, very quickly, Jin Weiwei understood. She felt that as long as she had a heart, a firm conviction, and insisted that she could be together with Little Rich Son, even if there were any difficulties and dangers, they wouldn''t be able to separate the two lovebirds.


    When Jin Weiwei thought here, she had already thought it through. Her eyebrows relaxed and a confident smile emerged on her face again.


    Jin Weiwei took out a purse from his sleeves, took out a silver coin, and gave it to the little Daoist, making incense.


    "I am just a small girl, I hope that you can accept me happily."


    The little Daoist smiled and politely said, "Many thanks, Benefactor. Benefactor, you have a kind heart and a kind heart.


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei laughed, "A good person will get a good reward", which was also not right. There were so many good people in the world. Did the good news really come? Not really. Everything depended on him. It was better to rely on him than on the heavens and the earth.


    Jin Weiwei thought, then suddenly patted his head. Sigh, he was really silly, he had almost forgotten what he was doing. It was all because of Little Rich Son that they were infuriated.


    She scolded her husband. Then, Jin Weiwei immediately gave the peanut oil to the little Daoist.


    Seeing this, the little Daoist was not the least bit surprised. He didn''t have a single expression on his face, as if he had already known that he would come to offer oil.


    Seeing that, Jin Weiwei felt that it was strange.


    "Little Taoist, may I ask why you are not asking this humble girl if this oil is lard?"


    Jin Weiwei couldn''t help but ask his own doubt. It was really strange. Weren''t Taoists afraid of killing? Animal oil has never been eaten. They only eat vegetarian food. But what was going on now? Why didn''t the Taoist ask him what kind of oil this was?


    When the little Daoist heard this, he smiled and said, "Benefactor might not know this, but Absurd Taoist-head had already instructed me this morning that Benefactor is a great benefactor. If Benefactor is to present a gift to this temple, no matter what it is, this Penniless Priest should accept it. Therefore, this Penniless Priest did not ask any questions. "


    Hearing these words, Jin Weiwei immediately felt that the Absurd Taoist-head was mysterious. It was really powerful.


    However, Jin Weiwei still planned to tell the little Taoist about the composition of the oil, if not, wouldn''t the Taoists be worried about it? After all, if it was lard, they wouldn''t be able to eat it. I can''t get the publicity I want. He had planned to let these Taoists eat the peanut oil that he squeezed and then do some propaganda work for him. At that time, this peanut oil would definitely be sold off.


    "Please, little Taoist, don''t worry too much about this. This oil is squeezed with peanuts, it''s not some meat oil. Please don''t worry about it."


    When the young Daoist heard these words, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "So that''s how it is. Then I''ll have to trouble Benefactor for this favor."


    With that, the little Daoist politely thanked him.


    "That''s exactly the case. Please do not worry. "In addition, I still have a few vegetarian dishes to teach you. If you add peanut oil, it would definitely be quite good."


    Jin Weiwei taught him a few dishes, and these dishes were all delicious and delicious.


    The little Daoist was extremely grateful and immediately thanked Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei''s thin lips twitched, and said: "Right, this humble girl''s shop is located in the city, it''s called the Jin Clan Food Store. "Welcome to your audience, Honorable Daoists."


    After the little Daoist heard this, he nodded and said that he would pass this information on to the Absurd Taoist-head. If you have the time, you will definitely visit your shop.

 C272

    After receiving the little cultivator''s promise, Jin Weiwei was overjoyed. She immediately thanked the little cultivator. After that, Jin Weiwei chatted with the little Daoist about some things and then left.


    The next morning, the gentle light of the morning sun sprinkled onto the ground, bringing a bit of life to this hot soil.


    Jin Weiwei was awoken by the Hundred Spirit Bird, he half woke up and stretched lazily, looking like a pet cat.


    After putting on his clothes, he casually combed his hair and washed himself. Jin Weiwei then sat on the palanquin and went to the Jia Mi Temple.


    Very quickly, Jin Weiwei arrived at Jia Mi Temple.


    He looked up and saw the words "Jia Mi Temple" on the plaque. Under the signboard, there was a vermilion door. Inside the door, there were a few monks cleaning the courtyard.


    Jin Weiwei lifted his leg and walked in. A while later, he saw an old man. The old man looked kind and friendly, as if he was easy to get along with.


    The old man knew who Jin Weiwei was just from looking at his attire.


    Jin Weiwei saluted, he had a dignified and proper posture, making it impossible for people to find anything wrong with him.


    The old man, who was also the host, hurriedly returned the greeting.


    "Many thanks for benefactor''s visit. This monk shall be forever grateful."


    With that said, the host invited Jin Weiwei to the table and they sat down. The host brewed a good tea and poured Jin Weiwei a cup.


    The fragrance of the tea filled the air. Just by smelling it, one would feel that it was a good tea. Jin Weiwei took small sips of tea. She knew very well that she had to drink this tea like water. If that was the case, she would never be able to taste the flavor of the tea.


    Therefore, Jin Weiwei changed his reckless personality and sipped on the tea.


    This tea was really mentally nurturing. If one was too reckless, it was impossible for one to taste the flavor of the tea. One could only taste the flavor after patiently tasting the tea.


    Jin Weiwei was afraid that he would be late, so he drank two cups and thanked the host. He did not chat with the host for long.


    The host smiled without saying a word and had people bring him a Go.


    The host looked up and looked at Jin Weiwei. Does benefactor know how to play chess? Can you play a game with this monk? "


    Jin Weiwei immediately tried to shirk his responsibilities: "Host, this humble woman has never learned how to play chess before, and has never learned how to do so.


    The host nodded his head and smiled, "Almsgiver is too modest. His talent is not limited to zither, chess, calligraphy and painting.


    Jin Weiwei nodded his head, thinking that it was true. In the modern world, there are many people who do not know how to use music, calligraphy and painting. However, many celebrities become famous in the world through their business mind.


    In exchange for hosting a monk to play a game with him. If one stood aside and looked at him, they would be surprised to see that the chessboard had formed a shocking situation.


    "The plotter should consider the overall situation and plan his entire network. It was best to have a strong sense of structure. Presumably, Benefactor is not simply thinking of becoming the boss of a grocery store, right? Almsgiver must have a certain level of ambition. "Since that''s the case, if Almsgiver wants to build a strong business, you must have a clear and structured network of connections."


    Jin Weiwei benefited greatly from listening to what the host said. He felt that this trip was not in vain. She truly discovered that these people were practically otherworldly experts. They knew a lot of things, including this leader. With just a few casual words, they were able to point out people''s infatuation.


    Once the game of chess was settled, the host won by a single game of chess over the young monk. This chess piece was really praiseworthy. Every chess piece had its uses and was useful for the whole situation. Wasn''t this the same for doing things? Every action should be useful, not useless.


    After a while, Jin Weiwei thanked the host, and at the same time, offered him a lot of incense.


    "Host, this is a little gift from my daughter, I hope that you can kindly accept it."


    The host shook his head and smiled without speaking.


    "This is just a small gift, I hope that you don''t mind."


    The host took the oil. Seeing that, Jin Weiwei was satisfied. Unexpectedly, the host took out some silver coins from his sleeves and was about to give it to Jin Weiwei.


    Seeing that, Jin Weiwei was shocked. She thought to herself, What kind of logic is this, that the host would have to give the benefactor money?


    Jin Weiwei was surprised, and immediately asked the host what was the logic behind it.


    "May I ask, Master, why do you give money to my daughter? This doesn''t make sense. "


    The amiable host laughed, as if he had already guessed that Jin Weiwei would ask this.


    "Benefactor, perhaps you do not know, that this humble monk is Absurd Taoist-head''s good friend. Last night, the Absurd Taoist-head came to visit and talked to the poor monk about his benefactor. Absurd Taoist-head said that you will definitely visit Jia Mi Temple today. Furthermore, I also said that the oil that Almsgiver gave me was plain oil. I specifically reminded this poor monk that he must take it. "


    The host smiled and said, "How can I have eaten the oil of my benefactor for nothing? It''s only right for me to give you some silver taels. "


    After Jin Weiwei heard this, he finally understood what was going on? After thinking it through, Jin Weiwei didn''t know whether to laugh or cry


    This was just a small thought, not much at all. To be honest, the reason why this humble woman offered the sesame oil was because she was selfish. This humble girl still wants to rely on your temple to promote this humble girl''s oil? This humble daughter has not even had time to express her gratitude, so how can I accept your silver taels? "


    With that, Jin Weiwei directly pushed the silver back. When the host heard this, he laughed heartily.


    "Well, well, really a nice girl. Then, this humble monk will thank Benefactor. "


    The host was smiling so much that his white beard was trembling. He didn''t look like he was in charge at all.


    The host smiled amiably, a very simple and honest smile. Jin Weiwei''s state of mind was infected, and felt that the suffering he had experienced was no longer an issue.


    Jin Weiwei''s hand had not been retracted, but upon seeing this, the host said: "Sir, may I ask, may I take a look at your hand?"


    After Jin Weiwei heard this, he readily agreed.


    "Of course you can. Thank you for hosting."


    The host took a careful look at the form for Jin Weiwei. The veins on Jin Weiwei''s palm were clear, and the host was able to easily see the state Jin Weiwei''s hand was in.


    The host sighed when he saw this. It seemed that he was sighing something.


    Seeing that, Jin Weiwei immediately asked the host: "May I ask, what does this humble woman''s hand mean? Please preside over the analysis. "


    The host stroked his grizzled beard and said somewhat regretfully, "Sir, your path ahead is dangerous. Be careful." The cause and effect of a descendant shall be decided by the Heavens. It shall not be forced, nor forced. "


    After Jin Weiwei heard this, he was slightly taken aback. How could the host say that he was so unlucky?


    Jin Weiwei thanked the host and went back with a face full of worry.

 C273

    On the way back, Jin Weiwei was still thinking about what he should say. The words of the host sounded somewhat similar to what Absurd Taoist-head had said, but they were different.


    It was probably because her relationship with Ji Jingzhi was extremely dangerous.


    The head of the Jia Mi Temple also told her, "The cause and effect of a child is decided by the heavens. Do I not have children for the rest of my life?"


    Jin Weiwei''s head hurt because of what the two of them said. The two of them did not tell Jin Weiwei what was going on, they just said some weird things, allowing Jin Weiwei to understand it for himself.


    Jin Weiwei didn''t know whether or not he was thinking about the meaning behind the Taoist''s words.


    Along the way, Jin Weiwei was in a daze, and did not know whether he had comprehended the meaning behind it or not.


    After a long journey, Jin Weiwei finally returned to the city, and got Tao Xiaoqing to drive the carriage over to the entrance of the Jin Clan''s Food Store.


    Jin Weiwei did not go home. Instead, she went to her own shop, because after these two journeys, her peanut oil had already been gifted to Yun He Monastery''s Absurd Taoist-head and Jia Mi Temple''s host. She believed that it would not take long for it to take effect, at that time, the supply of peanut oil would be insufficient, so she had to make preparations in advance.


    Returning to the shop, Tao Qi came over to welcome him.


    Jin Weiwei let Tao Xiaoqing pack his things, then walked into the shop himself.


    Tao Qi followed behind Jin Weiwei.


    "Tao Qi, go and buy some peanuts. Right now, we need to mass produce peanut oil, we need to prepare so that we don''t need them too much." Jin Weiwei said to Tao Qi who was walking behind him.


    "Yes, boss." Tao Qi promised them one by one.


    "Oh right, don''t throw away the peanuts that you squeezed with peanut oil. That''s good stuff. Peanuts are very nutritious. Then, we use the peanut residue that has been squeezed out of the peanut oil and the mold to turn it into peanut cake, or we use the peanut butter to fry or roast. Then, we add sugar or malt to the snacks and put them in the store to sell. Jin Weiwei then gave out orders to all that he had thought about.


    Tao Qi also recorded everything down. After that, he left to give orders.


    Now that Weiwei had reached the place that produced peanut oil, he was filled with a sense of accomplishment when he saw the workers turning the peanut oil into drops of oil. Just thinking about how these peanut oil would turn into silver would make Jin Weiwei excited. He checked and found nothing wrong with it, so he encouraged the workers.


    "Everyone, work hard and don''t worry about the sale of peanut oil. I have already thought of a solution. I believe that before long, our peanut oil will be sold for a lot of money. When that happens, I will give everyone of you a raise in wages." Jin Wei Wei Wei''s words made a lot of the workers change their expressions, many of the workers worked even harder with Jin Weiwei''s encouragement.


    Jin slightly saw that his words were effective and felt as excited as everyone else. As long as his words were sold, it would definitely be a lot of money.


    Moreover, although this time they were giving peanut oil to the temples and monasteries, but they believed that it wouldn''t be long before the other temples and monasteries would hear the news and come. After all, these families couldn''t eat pork, and now with peanut oil, their food would taste better.


    Since he had settled the issue of the peanut oil sale, Jin was in a better mood. He no longer talked to the two families. Since he was already here, it was better for him to earn more money. Regardless of what happens in the future, whether it''s a fight to the death, or a fight to the death, Jin Weiwei believed that life was determined by the heavens.


    Thus, Jin Weiwei focused all his attention on making money.


    Within a few days, a lot of peanut oil was squeezed out by the workers. Jin Weiwei ordered some people to sell the oil in the shop, and the price was the same as before.


    This time, it was different from last time. On the board, it said that the Absurd Taoist-head of the Mi Temple and the host of the Jia Mi Temple were eating this peanut oil, and they had someone cook two dishes of peanut oil on the spot. Waves of fragrance came out, attracting everyone''s appetite.


    Many people were attracted by the fragrance and arrived in front of Jin Weiwei''s shop. Seeing the delicious dishes that had just come out of the pot, as well as the Taoist priest and the two important people who were hosting the dishes, someone bravely took that step forward.


    "May I try it? These dishes sure are fragrant! " A child stepped out of the crowd.


    The little boy was not very big, around eight or nine years old. Because he was attracted by the taste of the dishes, his eyes never left the dishes on the table.


    Jin Weiwei naturally did not refuse, and very enthusiastically brought the little boy to the table. In front of the table, there were already prepared bowls and chopsticks, Jin Weiwei picked up the chopsticks and placed them into the bowl in front of the little boy.


    Perhaps only a child could have such a pure heart. It was only because he liked it that he would try it. He wouldn''t have so many misgivings like an adult.


    The boy could not wait any longer. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up the dishes in the bowl and put them into his mouth.


    Jin Weiwei smiled as he watched the child''s actions, not forgetting to wipe the corner of his mouth.


    "Eat slowly. Don''t worry, there''s still a lot left." Jin Weiwei''s tone was extremely gentle.


    The little boy was in a hurry to eat, but he did not forget to mutter as he ate, "Delicious, so delicious. I''ve never eaten anything so delicious before." His face was filled with satisfaction. In response, a smile appeared on his face.


    Very quickly, the little boy finished all the food in the bowl. With a face full of desire, he looked at Jin Weiwei and said, "Elder sister, can I eat a little more?"


    "Of course you can," How could Jin Weiwei reject this cute boy?


    The surrounding people all looked at the little boy, watching him quickly eat the dishes on the table.


    Seeing the little boy eating less and less of the food left on the table, there was finally someone who couldn''t take it anymore. He ran over from the crowd and picked up his chopsticks. "Let me have a taste."


    Then, with the leader of the group, the surrounding people began to rush towards the table. A small group of people surrounded the table so that not even a drop of water could trickle through.


    Jin Weiwei had already left the table when he saw the person rushing over, and slowly walked to another place. He looked at the crowd on the table. A happy smile appeared on his face.


    She knew that after this matter, she would not have to worry about the sale of peanut oil anymore. Jin Weiwei was in a good mood, so she handed the matter over to Tao Qi and returned back to the shop.

 C274

    Jin returned to the inner hall of the shop. He was in a good mood so he sat at the table and leisurely drank some tea.


    "It was attracted by your scent from far away." Suddenly, a voice sounded beside Jin Weiwei''s ears.


    "I was wondering who it was. So it''s Boss Cheng." Jin Weiwei did not look at the person. He knew who it was from the sound of the voice?


    "Boss Cheng, how come you''re free to come here and play today?" Jin Weiwei sat on his seat motionlessly as he conversed with Cheng Yu.


    A graceful, beautiful man dressed in a long robe, with a refined and refined appearance, holding a fan in his hand walked over and sat down beside Jin Weiwei.


    He did not bother to be polite with Jin Weiwei at all, and continued to pick up the teacup on the table, and pour it over himself.


    Jin Weiwei was not surprised, obviously he was used to it. He was not surprised by Cheng Yu''s actions and ignored him.


    "Boss Cheng, you haven''t answered my question?" Although Jin Weiwei was very familiar with her, Jin Weiwei did not think that Cheng Yu would come to ''talk heart'' to her out of good intentions.


    Cheng Yu was the boss of the biggest hotel in Ye City.


    "Look at you, there''s nothing wrong with your words, so I can''t come and find you?" Cheng Yu waved the fan in his hand, and said to Jin Weiwei with a wronged expression.


    "Alright, alright, alright. Hurry up and speak properly. If you have anything to say, just say it! "Look at how strange you''re acting. I''m getting goosebumps all over my body." Jin Weiwei really couldn''t stand Cheng Yu''s cuteness. Surrender quickly.


    "Why didn''t you say so earlier? "It took me so much effort." Cheng Yu''s face immediately changed. In the first second, he was still acting cute, but in the next moment, he changed into the serious Young Noble''s appearance.


    Jin Weiwei facepalmed as he admired the speed of Cheng Yu''s transformation.


    "Your transformation speed is almost as fast as my flipping of books." Jin Weiwei rolled his eyes at Cheng Yu.


    "I came here this time to discuss an important matter with you, not to accompany you to read a book. If you want to see me change my mind and flip through the books faster, which is faster? "Then you''re going to have to invite me?" Cheng Yu did not seem to be serious.


    Jin Weiwei ignored Cheng Yu''s words.


    "Tell me, what are you planning to do?" Because he was going straight to the point.


    "The thing is, two ladies came to my restaurant today and asked me what kind of oil would be used to cook dishes? What do my people know about plain oil? So I came to inform them, and they told me that two days ago they had gone to the Cloud and Kuan to ask about their marriage, and that they had eaten there, and found that the fasting there was not quite the same as the one we usually had, and that the usual fasting was very tasteless, but the fasting they had that day was quite different. It was only after asking around that we found out that the oil used in the temple was different from the oil we normally use. The oil they use is a kind of peanut oil, and they said that it was brought by a savior who came to ask about marriage. "


    Cheng Yu then told Jin Weiwei everything that had happened in his restaurant.


    "So, two ladies, today, you came to my restaurant specially to look for food made with plain oil. They felt that I was the biggest restaurant in the county, so they came to give me a try. That''s what happened. " Cheng Yu did not forget to drink his tea after he finished speaking.


    "I guessed that you were the one who did all these weird things, so I came to check things out. I didn''t expect to see the scene in front of your shop, and it really verified my thoughts." After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he had a proud look on his face, as if he was saying how smart he looked.


    Jin Weiwei ignored the arrogant and pampered Cheng Yu, and for some reason, she didn''t know why the extremely cold Cheng Young Master Yu was acting like a scoundrel in front of her, giving her a headache. If Ji Jingzhi was here, the two of them would probably start fighting again.


    At this time, Jin Weiwei secretly rejoiced that Ji Jingzhi was not around, as it would save her a lot of trouble.


    "So what do you want to do?" Jin Weiwei was curious as to what Cheng Yu wanted to do.


    "I want to work with you and ask you to supply my restaurant with peanut oil and sausage. We can talk. " Cheng Yu immediately revealed his purpose.


    "How do you want to cooperate? What benefits can I get? " A merchant naturally placed their gains first. Jin Weiwei wanted to hear the conditions that Cheng Yu was able to give.


    "Is that good? "Your peanut oil, a jar of eighty words, I will buy out your peanut oil supply at ten times the price, which means that your peanut oil will only be provided to my restaurant. How about that?"


    Jin Weiwei pondered for a moment, then rejected her suggestion.


    "Please forgive me, young master, but I am afraid I cannot agree to your request. Although the price you offered me is very tempting, but I believe that as long as I can fill up my peanut oil and make it acceptable to everyone, then the profits I get will definitely be greater than the profits from working together with you."


    In regards to Jin Weiwei''s rejection, Cheng Yu did not seem to be surprised at all.


    "As expected, as expected of Jin Weiwei, I knew you wouldn''t agree, is that alright? Oh, and ham. As for the price, I naturally won''t let you suffer any disadvantages. Of course, the most important thing is that if you have any new things in the future, you should bring them to my restaurant for me to try first, what do you think? " Cheng Yu finally revealed his purpose.


    Jin Weiwei thought for a bit, weighed the pros and cons, and then agreed to Cheng Yu''s cooperation.


    Not to mention that Cheng Yu''s Restaurant consumed a large amount of peanut oil every month, if there was any new breed of oil in the future, with his Restaurant opening up sales channels, it would also save her a lot of trouble. After all, it was just like this peanut oil sale, she couldn''t go to another''s Taoist temple every time, right?


    "Alright, I agree. This box is settled."


    "Sure enough, Boss Jin is straightforward." Cheng Yu had achieved his goal, so he naturally had a face full of smiles. The fans in his hands flapped twice.


    "Since my purpose for coming here has been accomplished, I will not disturb you anymore. I hope that Boss Jin will sell your peanut oil well." As he spoke, he stood up and prepared to leave.


    "Thank you for your blessings." Since Cheng Yu wanted to leave, Jin Weiwei did not urge him to stay.


    After Cheng Yu left, Jin Weiwei called Tao Qi over and told him about the collaboration between her and Cheng Yu. He also asked Tao Qi to prepare peanut oil and sausages for Cheng Yu''s restaurant every month.


    He also told Tao Qi to prepare some sesame oil, and if he could make some, he would give some to Cheng Yu.

 C275

    Tao Qi listened to Jin Weiwei, and without any hesitation, he sent his people to get some sesame seeds because his own shop was a food shop, so naturally there were sesame seeds. The last time he collected some peanuts, it was only because the production of peanut oil was huge, so he took them from other places.


    After Tao Qi left, Jin Weiwei returned to his own residence. Because the issue of the peanut oil had been resolved, Jin Weiwei did not have to worry about it anymore.


    Finally, Jin Weiwei was able to have a good night''s sleep. Just as he returned to his residence, Jadeite ran over and started chattering beside Jin Weiwei''s ears.


    During this time, Jin Weiwei was busy with matters of the shop, and rarely returned to his residence. When Jin Weiwei went out, there were very few people following him, so it seemed like it had been a long time since he last saw her.


    Pearl slowly walked in front of Jin Weiwei. Basically, all of the matters in the house were managed by Pearl, so with Pearl''s calm personality, even if Jin Weiwei handed over the matters in the house to her, she would be able to rest assured.


    "Miss, Miss, you''re back. It''s been a long time since I''ve seen you. Miss, can you bring the jade with you next time? Look, there''s no one by your side, even sister and I are worried!" Jadeite Jadeite hugged Jin Weiwei''s arm and acted coquettishly as he walked.


    The Jadeite''s personality was actually quite similar to Jin Weiwei''s. However, because of Jin Weiwei''s business experience, he had never revealed his na?ve side to her, and it was only in front of Ji Jingzhi that she could be like a little girl.


    On a whim, Jin Weiwei flirted with Little Emerald.


    "Hey, Little Emerald, where do you want to go with this grandpa?" Su Wei stopped, used his fingers to hook up Jadeite''s chin, squinted his eyes and looked like a little girl.


    "I hate you, miss. Why are you so disrespectful!" Little Emerald''s face turned red because of Jin Weiwei.


    Pearl, who was watching the two of them, had a lovely smile on her face.


    "Elder sister, look at the little miss, she''s so disrespectful." Xiao Emerald was embarrassed so he ran to the back of his sister, hoping that the pearl could help him make the decision.


    "Little Emerald, I''m sorry about that. When you have a lover in the future, won''t you die of shame?" Jin Weiwei teased Xiao Jin, making Jin Weiwei laugh out loud himself.


    "Miss is always spouting nonsense. Jadeite, why wouldn''t I look for a lover? I want to pester Miss all my life. "Hrmph." Jadeite pouted and looked very cute.


    "What?" Then wouldn''t I have to support you for the rest of your life? " Jin Weiwei said with difficulty.


    When Xiao Jin saw Jin Weiwei''s expression, she thought that her young miss was really going to marry her, and tears immediately filled her eyes. His little face became extremely aggrieved.


    Jin Weiwei consoled Xiao Jin when he saw her aggrieved face, tears welling up in his eyes.


    "Don''t cry, don''t cry, it''s my fault, it''s my fault, Miss, I was joking with you. Miss, how could I bear to marry such a cute little emerald? " Jin Weiwei hurriedly stepped forward to wipe away Little Emerald''s tears.


    Hearing Jin Weiwei''s words, Xiao Jin burst out laughing.


    "I knew Miss wouldn''t be willing to marry me." And she had a very proud look on her face.


    "Of course, you are all my treasures." Jin Weiwei smiled and said to the Jade and the Pearl.


    The three of them went into Jin Weiwei''s room together, and because they had something to do, they left temporarily. Xiao Emerald went to prepare food for Jin Weiwei.


    Not long after, a sumptuous dinner was served in front of him.


    "Miss, quickly have a taste of my skills." I made them myself. " Xiao Emerald was like a little kid who had just received credit, waiting for Jin Weiwei''s praise.


    Jin Weiwei really did not expect that Little Emerald would have learned so many dishes recently.


    Jin Weiwei even thought of bringing some peanut oil and sesame oil to his house.


    "I never thought that Little Emerald would be so powerful. I must eat more today." Coincidentally, because Jin Weiwei was always busy with peanut oil, he did not even eat lunch. Right now, looking at all the delicious food on the table, his stomach was growling.


    Very quickly, Jin swept away the delicious dishes on the table like a whirlwind.


    Little Emerald was very happy to see his young miss finish all the dishes she cooked.


    "Alright, Little Emerald, you can go down first. I need to rest." When Jin Weiwei was full, the thing he wanted to do the most was to lie on the bed and rest.


    Jin Weiwei lied on his bed, thinking about his phone and computer. Sigh, ancient times were just boring, I could only sleep at night.


    And then, he immediately fell asleep.


    The morning of the second day, Jin Weiwei went to the stalls. Right now, Jin Weiwei was fully focused on the stalls, hoping that it would help him earn some money.


    Just as Jin Weiwei arrived at the eatery, Tao Qi came over to report the situation.


    "Boss, the peanut oil and ham that you prepared have been prepared. Would you like to deliver them to the Young Master Cheng yourself, or should we send someone to deliver them to them?" Tao Qi asked Jin Weiwei for instructions, because he knew that his own boss was familiar with the Young Master Cheng, even if his boss were to personally send him off, it would not be surprising.


    "Oh, is everything ready? Then do I have to prepare the sesame oil? " Jin Weiwei asked Tao Qi about the preparation of the sesame oil.


    "Boss, I''ve already gone to prepare the sesame oil according to your instructions. However, I just made a small bottle, it''s not too much. Do you want to bring it over?" Because of the sesame oil, the workers were still not familiar with it. After a night of processing, they only made a small bottle.


    "Bring it with you, I don''t need much sesame oil." Jin Weiwei instructed Tao Qi.


    "Yes, this little one will prepare a carriage and deliver the sesame oil and ham to Young Master Cheng." After Tao Qi finished speaking, he left to prepare.


    Not long after, Tao Qi came back to tell Jin Weiwei that everything was ready, and that they could leave at any time.


    "Then let''s go." Jin Weiwei also got onto the carriage Tao Qi prepared for him. He changed his direction and headed towards the restaurant in Young Master Cheng.


    Not long later, Jin Weiwei arrived at Cheng Yu''s restaurant.


    Just as he got out of the carriage, he saw a dashing young master standing in front of him, greeting him at the door.


    Jin Weiwei smiled at Cheng Yu and leisurely walked toward him.


    "Thank you, Young Master Cheng, for personally coming to welcome me, I am very flattered." Although Jin Weiwei said that he was flattered, his face did not look flattered at all. Instead, it was filled with a smile.


    "Of course. Since Boss Jin has personally come, how can I not come welcome him? How else could it be said? Furthermore, you''re a beauty? Then, I must come out and welcome you. "

 C276

    Cheng Yu put on a humble appearance, as if he was a young master. However, Jin Weiwei naturally understood Cheng Yu very well, and did not take his words to heart.


    He gave Cheng Yu a supercilious look and turned towards Cheng Yu''s restaurant.


    Cheng Yu turned a blind eye on Jin Weiwei. He watched Jin Weiwei enter the restaurant. He instructed his subordinates.


    "Unload the carriage and move it to the warehouse behind. These are all treasures." Then, he turned around to chase after Jin Weiwei.


    "I said it''s great that you''re the young lord. It wasn''t easy to get to your restaurant, yet you still don''t want to express your feelings?" Jin Weiwei naturally did not come here for nothing. This was not what the merchants were doing.


    "Look at what you''re saying. Isn''t that simple? Don''t worry, just eat and drink. I will definitely not let you come here for nothing." He then beckoned to the people beside him.


    "Go and get the most famous dish in our restaurant. Today, I want to invite Boss Jin to a good feast." Cheng Yu instructed his subordinates.


    "Yes, boss." The waiter received the owner''s order. Knowing that Jin Weiwei was not an ordinary person, he hurriedly instructed the kitchen to prepare the dishes.


    "I never thought that Boss Jin would personally come to deliver this gift. Fortunately, I have the information, otherwise, if the people in this shop had offended you, my efforts would have been in vain." Cheng Yu looked like he despised Jin Weiwei, and felt that he was simply a weirdo.


    Jin Weiwei didn''t pay attention to what Cheng Yu said. It would probably be more difficult for him if he did not harm himself for a day anyway.


    "Of course I''m here for a reason. Listening to Young Master Cheng''s words, it seems like you aren''t welcome?"


    "How could that be? If he isn''t welcomed, then why would he welcome me personally?"


    The dishes were served one by one.


    Jin Weiwei took out the sesame oil he had prepared when he saw that the dishes were almost ready.


    "What is this?" Cheng Yu was curious.


    "Of course it''s good stuff." Jin Weiwei''s eyes were filled with mystery.


    As he said that, Jin Weiwei opened the bottle stopper, and a burst of fragrance wafted over.


    Then, Jin Weiwei dripped one or two dishes onto the table. Instantly, the entire table was enveloped by the fragrance.


    "What is this? Why is the fragrance so strong?" Cheng Yu was extremely curious and couldn''t help but ask again.


    "This is the reason for my visit today. I''ll give this small bottle to you." "I''ve only made so much for now. One drop of each dish will suffice."


    Cheng Yu was surprised, he never thought that there would be such a treasure in the world.


    Quickly snatch it from Jin Weiwei''s hands. He looked at it carefully in his hand.


    "I say, Jin Weiwei, you are always making strange things, don''t you want to make yourself a brand, a exclusive brand so that no one will copy you later?"


    Cheng Yu''s words woke Jin Weiwei up. That''s right, he could create a trademark for himself. Who would have thought that an old friend already had the concept of a trademark.


    "Oh right, there''s one more thing I need to tell you." Suddenly, he seemed to have remembered something and became serious.


    Jin Weiwei did not know what had happened, but he was curious to know what caused Cheng Yu to take it so seriously.


    "What is it, what is it?" Jin Weiwei asked.


    "The president of the Ye City Association, Gongsun Hong, wants to invite you. What do you think?" Cheng Yu looked at Jin Weiwei, not knowing what he was thinking.


    "Why did Gongsun Hong invite me? I shouldn''t have any relationship with him." Jin Weiwei didn''t know what Gongsun Hong wanted to do.


    "I don''t know about that. He only notified me and I''ll tell you. It''s up to you whether you go or not. " Cheng Yu showed an expression that it had nothing to do with me.


    "This Gongsun Hong is the same as Gongsun Minzhi, I wonder what kind of scheme they are plotting this time." Jin Weiwei''s eyes became deep.


    "Since they invited us, how could we not go? Wouldn''t we be at a disadvantage? This isn''t my style at all. I want to see exactly what they want to do." Jin Weiwei''s confident appearance attracted Cheng Yu''s attention.


    Sigh, it''s a pity we met too late. Otherwise, I would definitely not have given up on Jin Weiwei, Cheng Yu thought.


    "This is the Jin Weiwei that I know. Unafraid of the difficulties, go forward bravely." The unprecedented Cheng Yu actually praised Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei opened his eyes wide, unable to believe what he had heard.


    Cheng Yu realized that he had accidentally said all of his inner thoughts, he rubbed his nose, turned and fled.


    Jin Weiwei was extremely happy as he watched Cheng Yu flee. To be able to cause such a shameless Cheng Young Master Yu to appear was not easy either.


    When Cheng Yu left, Jin Weiwei naturally did not linger, and stood up to leave the restaurant as well.


    At the same time, in the capital city, Ji Jingzhi rode his horse quickly and arrived at the city.


    After returning to the capital, without stopping, he directly returned to the Duke Palaces to pay his respects to his father, Regent Ji Changhuai.


    As for the Duke Palaces, Ji Changhuai had already received the news that Ji Jingzhi had entered the city. He went to his study room and waited for his son to arrive.


    "Father, and our son pays his respects to father." When Ji Jingzhi arrived at the study room, he saw his father whom he hadn''t seen for a long time.


    "Jing Er, quickly get up. We have already said this many times, there is no need for father and son to be so polite." Why didn''t you listen? " Ji Changhuai was helpless.


    "Father, you are the father of the son, isn''t it perfectly justified for the son to salute? "Look at what you''re saying."


    "Come, come, come. Quick, let Father see how your injuries are. Your health is still well." Ji Changhuai was worried about Ji Jingzhi''s body, hence he hurriedly asked.


    "Don''t worry father, your son''s health is fine." Ji Jingzhi also knew that his father was worried, so he quickly said that his body was alright.


    It''s good that you''re fine, it''s good that you''re fine. Recently, the little emperor should know that you''re in Ye City and I was worried that he would make a move on you. "Like this, the little Emperor won''t be able to make things difficult for you." Ji Changhuai told you everything he thought about.


    "Don''t worry royal father, little emperor already knows that my son is currently in the Ye City. However, my son is not an ordinary person, how could he let little emperor find any clues so easily. He doesn''t have any substantial evidence in his possession, so it''s nothing to worry about. " Ji Jingzhi came to a conclusion after analyzing the current situation.


    "That''s good then. Oh right, Jing''er, recently Father has obtained a talent who is the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Shen Che. In the future, Jing''er should not hit his own people." Ji Changhuai told Ji Jingzhi about Shen Che.


    "Alright, I understand, father." Ji Jingzhi replied.


    "Alright, it must be hard for you to travel all the way here. Hurry up and rest. Tomorrow, follow me to the palace." Ji Changhuai was still worried about Ji Jingzhi''s body, so he quickly let him rest.


    "Alright." Ji Jingzhi knew what his father was thinking, so he did not delay any further and turned to leave.

 C277

    In the morning of the next day, Ji Jingzhi dressed in his court uniform and followed Regent to sit on the palanquin at the Imperial Palace.


    At the palace gates, the carriage was stopped by the imperial guards. Ji Jingzhi and Ji Changhuai also understood the rules of the palace. Naturally, he knew that the imperial palace forbade the carriage from entering the imperial palace.


    Ji Jingzhi and Ji Changhuai got off the carriage and slowly walked in. Many ministers from the palace had already rushed to the hall to attend the morning assembly.


    Coincidentally, the two of them met Shen Che who just came to the morning assembly.


    Ji Changhuai greeted politely: "Master Shen."


    Shen Che acted as if he didn''t hear her, and continued to walk forward. On the other hand, Ji Changhuai felt a little awkward.


    Ji Changhuai embarrassedly touched his nose and thought: What is going on with Master Shen? How could he not hear her when she was so close to him?


    Seeing that, Ji Jingzhi laughed without saying a word.


    The ministers quickly made their way to the main hall.


    The little emperor was already sitting on the throne. It was hard to see that childish look on his face.


    "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"


    The ministers'' voices were loud and clear, resounding through the great hall and resonating in the air.


    The little Emperor nodded as he looked down upon the group of ministers. This feeling of overlooking the world was his favorite.


    "Everyone, please rise."


    The little emperor''s thin lips opened and closed, revealing the words that the official''s heart looked forward to the most.


    The ministers rose to their feet, the dust on their robes lightly rustling.


    The little emperor sized Ji Jingzhi up from head to toe, the corner of his mouth raised in a strange smile.


    Although Ji Jingzhi did not look at the little emperor, he could still feel the little emperor''s shining gaze. Ji Jingzhi raised his eyebrows, a trace of doubt appearing on his handsome face.


    "prince, could it be that your body has completely recovered? You must have suffered a lot in the past few days, right?" The little emperor was concerned and continued, "The Ye City''s famous doctor is skilled in medicine. If there is a good doctor, you can bring him to the capital. I need these people. "


    Ji Jingzhi heard this and his heart thumped.


    He knew that the little Emperor''s words of concern had actually made him a target.


    Wasn''t he clearly informing the court that he had left the capital without the approval of the little emperor? What a nice sentence to pretend to care, it actually made him the target of public criticism.


    Ji Jingzhi forced out a hint of a smile, and replied indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. This humble subject''s body is already refreshed."


    A hint of contempt flashed through the little emperor''s eyes. He rolled his eyes and frowned before feigning concern, "Since your body has recovered, you should also take good care of yourself in the future." This sort of thing cannot happen again. The feeling of being infected is extremely uncomfortable. "


    Ji Jingzhi nodded his head, in agreement with the little Emperor''s words. He pretended not to understand the little Emperor''s undertone and pretended to thank him.


    "Your Majesty, this humble subject has a composition to play."


    At this moment, an untimely voice suddenly came from the main hall.


    All the officials looked towards the source of the voice. Only to see a minister clasping his hands together. It was actually the newly advanced historical platform.


    The Emperor Star Arena gazed at Ji Jingzhi, the meaning in their eyes obvious. When the ministers saw this, they could not help but feel that this was going to be a good show.


    Seeing that, Ji Jingzhi''s face turned cold. If this matter had a purpose, didn''t that mean that he wanted to get a copy of the song?


    Sure enough, as Ji Jingzhi had expected, the Imperial Censorate really wanted to impeach him.


    "I beg Your Majesty to make a decision. As a member of the royal family, Ji Jingzhi should consider the safety of the imperial court. He should make a contribution to the imperial family and follow the rules of the royal family. But now, the prince is so arrogant and conceited that he actually did something like secretly exiting the capital. He simply doesn''t put His Majesty in his eyes at all, nor the dignity of the Imperial Family in his eyes! "


    Without any trace of politeness, the Imperial Censorate gave out a bunch of sharp words. They directly took Ji Jingzhi''s actions of leaving the capital as an assault on the dignity of the Emperor and even the Imperial Family. With this hat, Ji Jingzhi''s crime was immediately raised by a lot.


    When the ministers heard this, they sucked in a breath of cold air. They held their breath to see what the Emperor would do with it.


    The young Emperor glanced at the ministers and saw their expressions. After a moment of silence, he raised his head and said, "Since that''s the case, how do you think I should handle this matter?"


    The little emperor wasn''t stupid, he had used a good method to borrow a knife to kill someone. Hearing that, the ministers all felt that they were not some despicable tyrants who acted on their own accord, but they also did not want to offend Ji Jingzhi. It was a foolproof plan.


    The Emperor Star Arena Mistress glanced at Shen Che, and Shen Che said a few words without leaving a trace behind.


    The imperial history platform understood, and cupped his hands together. "Your Majesty is wise, and most likely has already come to a divine decision. However, since prince has done such a thing, I presume His Majesty would not condone prince and punish him? "


    With these words, the ministers responded positively.


    The Vice Minister of Rites stood up and saluted as he clasped his hands, then said respectfully, "This humble subject believes that prince is humiliating the Emperor. Your Majesty should severely punish prince so that he can learn from his mistakes and not repeat them. "


    Seeing this, the secret envoy also stood out.


    "Your Majesty, you must severely punish prince, no matter what. This way, the members of the royal family could see what would happen if they violated royal rules. This humble subject begs Your Majesty to severely punish prince. "


    Hearing this, the little emperor laughed and did not speak, he only looked at the two officials who stood up and then turned his head, he looked at Ji Jingzhi whose face was ashen.


    When the ministers saw that the young emperor did not speak, they assumed that he was considering their advice. They were overjoyed, and started to impeach Ji Jingzhi.


    Seeing that, Ji Changhuai broke out in cold sweat, he could not help but worry for his son. He immediately turned to look at Ji Jingzhi, and discovered that Ji Jingzhi''s expression was also not good, but he did not reveal any sign of panic. It was good that Ji Jingzhi had a plan. With this, no matter how grim the situation was, there would be a turning point for him.


    In actuality, Ji Jingzhi didn''t even have any plans to deal with them, he just didn''t panic. After all, no matter how difficult it was, he had to find a way to solve it, rather than being flustered and losing his mind.


    The little Emperor looked at Ji Jingzhi and pretended to be concerned: "prince, what do you think we should do?"


    The little emperor''s eyes were full of pride. Seeing this, Ji Jingzhi squinted his eyes.


    Ji Jingzhi was quiet for a moment, then said: "This humble subject has left the capital to see a doctor, and the matter happened too suddenly. Without the permission of the Emperor, this humble subject has truly done something wrong, and should be punished."


    Ji Jingzhi deliberately emphasized the word "Li Jing to see a doctor", and the meaning was very obvious.


    The little emperor curled his lips as he felt the tense atmosphere. He watched the show with great interest.

 C278

    The little Emperor thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "Of course we have to punish him, but there is a reason behind prince leaving the capital. Therefore, I feel that they shouldn''t be severely punished. Slightly punishing them to show that they are a part of the royal family''s rules will suffice. What do you think?


    These words immediately set off a huge uproar, and all the ministers voiced their disapproval. Ji Jingzhi took the initiative to leave the capital, and actually gave a small punishment.


    Ji Jingzhi had the authority to rule the world, and was extremely arrogant to begin with. In the imperial court, he never cared about the feelings of the officials beside him, and had impeached countless of officials. He had also planted quite a number of his own people in the imperial court. There was no one in the imperial court who didn''t know about this. The ministers were already dissatisfied with Ji Jingzhi. The officials who had been impeached had been severely punished. What about now? Ji Jingzhi had committed such a huge mistake, how could he not punish her severely?


    The officials were already dissatisfied with Ji Jingzhi, but of course, they did not forget to impeach Ji Changhuai. After all, in the end, Ji Changhuai must have known that Ji Jingzhi had left the capital on his own. However, Ji Changhuai was deliberately hiding the truth, isn''t that deceiving His Majesty?


    "I beg the Emperor to severely punish Regent and prince so that we can get to the point!"


    The more the ministers spoke, the more excited they became. In the end, they all begged the little emperor to punish Ji Changhuai and his sins.


    The little emperor looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction. He forced himself to smile and pretended to be conflicted as he said,


    It is just that Regent has achieved great merits for his country, and has also achieved great merits. Furthermore, prince has also done great deeds of diligence and hard work, and has repeatedly achieved great achievements. "I think that we should take this into account and mitigate the punishment on account of its merits."


    The little emperor spoke up for Ji Jingzhi, but in his eyes, there were still traces of annoyance. He purposefully pretended to be humble and did not openly offend Regent and his son.


    Only, even though the little emperor was "trying her best" to speak up for Ji Jingzhi, "thinking" to lighten the punishment Ji Jingzhi received. However, the ministers did not buy it. One by one, they insisted on what they were thinking.


    Seeing that, Shen Che''s eyes were full of smiles. He took a look at the Forensics table and added fuel to the fire.


    Shen Che thought that no one had noticed the interaction between him and the historical platform, but he did not know that this scene was being looked at by the extremely meticulous Ji Jingzhi. Seeing that, Ji Jingzhi became serious.


    The imperial history arena understood, and quickly listened to Shen Che''s thoughts, advising the little emperor again.


    "Your Majesty, you have to remember how to properly reward her!" Although the Regent and the prince had done wondrous things, they had already received a reward. "Since you can be rewarded for doing such a good deed, aren''t you supposed to punish those who have done wrong?"


    When the little Emperor heard this, he smiled. However, this smile only lasted for a moment before the little Emperor revealed a displeased expression.


    "What our beloved one said does indeed make sense, but, we do not have the heart to heavily punish Regent and prince. In the end, they are still members of the royal family. "


    The little emperor was in a difficult position and seemed to be in Ji Jingzhi''s direction. However, this further deepened the official''s dissatisfaction with Ji Jingzhi.


    They all expressed their dissatisfaction with the Regent father and son duo, their expressions excited, their accusing voices resounding one after another. The entire imperial court was filled with the sound of impeachment.


    Regent saw that the situation was bad and immediately kneeled on the ground. Seeing that, Ji Jingzhi knew he was in the wrong and knelt down.


    "Your Majesty, this humble subject and my son are guilty. May Your Majesty punish them." Your Majesty, please don''t be angry over this. This subject and my son already know their wrongs. This humble servant will definitely urge my son to abide by the rules of the palace and not commit any more crimes. "


    Ji Changhuai''s tone sounded extremely sincere, as if he already knew his mistake.


    Seeing Ji Changhuai''s expression, Ji Jingzhi''s heart inexplicably had a bad feeling. Ji Changhuai had always been a majestic person, but when had he ever been in such a lowly situation? It was all because of him that he had left the capital on his own. He had caused trouble, and even his father had been implicated.


    "Your Majesty, this humble subject left the capital without permission. He deserves a heavy punishment. I beg Your Majesty to forgive my father and not punish him. "I beg Your Majesty for your grace."


    When the little Emperor heard this, he was overjoyed. When he saw Ji Changhuai and Ji Jingzhi being forced to stoop down and take small postures, he only felt happy in his heart.


    However, the little emperor still feigned a regretful attitude and said, "prince Ji Jingzhi has violated palace rules and left the capital without permission, receiving a penalty of one year''s imprisonment. Regent did not fulfill his duty of supervision, he did not report the matter, and was instead punished to serve for half a year. If we are to punish them like this, we shall do so in the future! "


    With that, the little Emperor looked up at the ministers with all sorts of expressions.


    "Your Majesty is wise!"


    Although they were unhappy, but when they saw the little Emperor punish Ji Jingzhi and Ji Changhuai, they did not say anything against it.


    The little emperor nodded and continued, "The justice court''s chief official and the city governor both neglect their duties. The heavens cannot tolerate this. They must withdraw from their duties!"


    When Chang Feng and the city governor heard this, their expressions greatly changed. They never thought that the two of them would actually become the fish in the pond. Beads of sweat covered their foreheads, and their palms were covered with sweat.


    "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty." Your Majesty is wise! "


    The two of them knelt on the ground and took off their hats, which represented power, and handed them over to the eunuchs.


    Seeing this, Ji Changhuai and Ji Jingzhi could not tell what they were feeling in their hearts. These two were their people.


    Ji Jingzhi wanted to refute a little, but he was in the wrong. The little Emperor had punished him with reason, even if he was dissatisfied with her, he could not do anything about it.


    The little emperor looked at the eunuch beside him and waved his hand.


    The eunuch accepted the order and walked to the front of the official, saying, "We have a letter for you to play, we will not leave this court!"


    The ministers did not have any memorials to present, so they did not make a move.


    The eunuch saw this and said, "Withdraw!"


    The ministers saluted the young emperor and said, "We will take our leave."


    The little Emperor narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. The ministers left.


    The little Emperor leaned against the dragon throne and heaved a sigh of relief. The posturing he put on today was tiring to his bones.


    Deep in the night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. A person wearing night clothes was shuttling back and forth between the beams of the room like a ghost. His speed was so fast that it was difficult to catch him. He could only see a series of afterimages.


    In next to no time, this person descended into a large courtyard house and entered the study.


    Ji Changhuai and Ji Jingzhi were discussing business, and when they saw him walk over, they immediately asked him a question. The father and son knew that this person was Shen Che''s man and that he had come for some important matters.


    "Regent, prince. Master Shen sent me to tell the two of you. Xu Family and Wei Family both passed paper money to His Majesty, wanting to get two positions missing. The intention is very clear, please be on your guard. "


    This person spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.


    Upon hearing these words, Ji Changhuai and Ji Jingzhi looked at each other, their expressions becoming gloomy, and their hearts involuntarily becoming cautious.

 C279

    Ji Changhuai''s eyes were filled with fear, he was shocked, and only after a long while did he regain his senses.


    Ji Jingzhi quickly regained his composure, and fell into deep thought. Ji Jingzhi thought and thought about his response.


    This Wei Family already had a huge influence in the imperial court, and many people from the Wei Family already held high positions in the imperial court, holding important authority. If they were to be even more vigilant and suppressed him, there was no guarantee that one day, this Wei Family person would straddle both Ji Changhuai and Ji Jingzhi.


    Now, since Ji Jingzhi knew the identity of the black clothed man and also knew of the Wei Family''s conspiracy, how could he not be wary of him?


    He knew that the man in black was Shen Che''s man, so the news that arrived should be true. This Wei Family really could do something like move towards a vacant seat.


    Ji Jingzhi sized up the man dressed in night clothes in front of him and remained silent for a while. Then, he said, "Tell me once you''re back, that we already know about it. Thank you, Master Shen, for your grace."


    Hearing his words, the man nodded his head and said in a neither humble nor haughty manner: "Thank you prince, your subordinate will definitely bring this up."


    With that, the man left without a sound. His footsteps were light and did not make any sound. It was as if he had never been here before.


    Seeing that, Ji Jingzhi raised his eyebrows, and thought that Shen Che had some good people.


    Ji Changhuai stayed silent for a while, and said:


    "We cannot let the Xu and Wei families take advantage of us for free. Originally, these two seats were occupied by our people. Right now, he absolutely couldn''t let them take advantage of him either. The two families are already very powerful. If a few more people were to be installed in the imperial court, wouldn''t they be climbing on top of us? We have to suppress two families. "


    Ji Changhuai had always wanted to suppress the attitude of the two families. That''s right, these two powers were overflowing with power, they already had the momentum of surpassing him, a dignified Regent, and the situation was grim, not to be underestimated.


    When Ji Jingzhi heard this, he smiled without saying a word. He only poured two cups of tea and let Ji Changhuai drink with him.


    After a while, Ji Jingzhi suddenly looked out of the window. Dense darkness shrouded the area. What was brought about was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.


    However, the meticulous Ji Jingzhi still saw a black shadow in the hazy night, and that shadow was in the shape of a human. Ji Jingzhi rolled his eyes, thinking about it, he knew who was outside the window.


    Ji Jingzhi laughed but did not say a word, and looked at Ji Changhuai. Judging from his expression, he didn''t seem to know that there was someone outside the window.


    Ji Changhuai frowned slightly at being stared at, and asked doubtfully: "Stop looking at me, tell me what you''re thinking?"


    Ji Jingzhi laughed involuntarily. He did not tell Ji Changhuai that there was someone outside the window, because he wanted to know when that person would come in.


    "I don''t think so. Firstly, Chang Feng and the city governor were removed by the emperor, so he should have guessed who those two people were. Since that''s the case, why do we need to fight for these two seats?" Wouldn''t that mean the Emperor would suspect us and should be on his guard against us? "


    Ji Jingzhi shook his head. His father had been a little muddled recently, and couldn''t even analyze the situation properly. Ji Jingzhi looked at the few strands of white hair on Ji Changhuai''s head and sighed.


    "Jingzhi is right. But are we just going to let it go like this? So, we should just let the two families get away with this for nothing? "


    Ji Changhuai was a little unwilling in his heart, as he spoke with a gloomy expression. Alas, the matter of the court recently seemed to be of no benefit to the father and son duo.


    "Of course not, we still have to fight for this official position. Only, this justice court is only responsible for managing the positions of the members of the royal family, it is not very useful for the development of our forces, we can let the people from the Wei Family go up there. After all, even though the power of the Wei Family was strong and its development was fast, in the short term, it was not something to be afraid of. However, we should still fight for the position of the city governor. "


    Ji Jingzhi slowly came over and analyzed the pros and cons of this event. Along the way, he even talked about it with the Bureau of Generals. After Ji Changhuai heard these words, he benefited greatly and felt that these words were reasonable.


    Ji Changhuai nodded, and said: "You are right, but it is I who did not consider everything. Jingzhi, from now on, I will be relying on you. "


    Ji Jingzhi laughed and looked out the window.


    "Come in, Master Shen."


    The moment the words left his mouth, the figure outside the window wavered visibly.


    Ji Changhuai opened his eyes wide, looked at Ji Jingzhi, and said: "What are you fooling around for? What nonsense are you spouting? How could the Master Shen be here? "


    Ji Jingzhi did not say anything, he only looked out of the window.


    At this moment, Ji Changhuai had a face full of surprise. He saw that Shen Che had actually appeared in front of them soundlessly, just like the black clothed man just now. Shen Che, when did he appear? He couldn''t have been outside the door all along, right?


    The corner of Shen Che''s mouth raised slightly, revealing a strange smile. He smiled and said to Ji Changhuai and Ji Jingzhi: "It''s fine, don''t worry.


    Ji Jingzhi furrowed his brows, and unconsciously clenched his hands. It seemed that this Shen Che had still heard everything he had said to Ji Changhuai without saying a single word. Why didn''t Shen Che come in with his subordinates just now and insist on eavesdropping? This kind of behavior was truly not pleasing.


    Thinking about that, Ji Jingzhi''s mind involuntarily recalled the time when he and his father were being impeached in the morning assembly. At that time, the first official to be impeached seemed to be Shen Che''s man, and the interactions between Shen Che and the official was seen by Ji Jingzhi.


    He felt that this Shen Che was definitely not as simple as he looked on the surface. He was definitely a person with a lot of shrewdness.


    The corner of Ji Jingzhi''s mouth raised, revealing a fake smile, and said: "Master Shen, please take a seat. This room is much warmer than the outside, it''s more comfortable."


    When Shen Che heard this, he coughed to ease the awkwardness.


    After thinking about it again and again, Shen Che voiced out his thoughts, "Regent, prince, I feel that Master Nie is the best candidate for the position of governor of the city gates. I wonder what you two think of him? "


    Just as Ji Changhuai wanted to agree, he was rejected by him.


    Ji Jingzhi said without hesitation, "No, absolutely not. Although this person has the Seven Apertures Mystical Heart, he is an indecisive person and cannot be this official."


    After Shen Che heard this, his mouth opened, and was about to refute a few words.


    Ji Jingzhi waved his hands, and said politely: "Master Shen, thank you for your help. It''s just that, this person is not really suitable. Regent and I will definitely select a suitable candidate, just relax. "


    The smile on Shen Che''s face stiffened, he pursed his lips, not knowing what else to say.


    Ji Jingzhi did not say anything as he quietly drank his tea. Ji Changhuai was the same, the air suddenly became quiet.


    Seeing that, Shen Che knew that he should leave, and bid farewell to Ji Jingzhi and Ji Changhuai.


    "Regent, prince, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."


    With that, Shen Che left.


    Ji Jingzhi reminded Ji Changhuai, "This Shen Che is not as simple as he looks. I have to be wary of Shen Che. I feel that Shen Che is not that easy to control, he''s just a poisonous snake. "


    After Ji Changhuai heard this, he fell into deep thought.

 C280

    After Ji Changhuai heard his son''s words, although he doubted it, he had never doubted his son''s abilities. Ji Changhuai looked at his own son, nodded, and said, "I will be careful of Shen Che."


    Ji Jingzhi knew that his father still valued his suggestions a lot, and he was a little excited for some reason.


    Ji Jingzhi suddenly remembered that the Emperor had taken care of the city gate and the justice courts, Ji Jingzhi felt that there was something fishy about this, but he had no idea what it was. Thinking about it this way, Ji Jingzhi furrowed his brows.


    Ji Changhuai, who was standing at the side, naturally knew that his son was thinking about it, so he did not disturb his son.


    The more Ji Jingzhi thought about it, the more he felt that there was a deep problem, and thus, he wanted to investigate the matter. Ji Jingzhi did not believe that there was no problem, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a deep problem, and thus, he wanted to investigate the matter.


    Ji Jingzhi found his subordinates, and decided to let them investigate first to see if there was anything fishy between the two of them. With regards to his people, Ji Jingzhi also trusted them a lot, so they don''t need to worry about any problems. After Ji Jingzhi finished explaining, his subordinates left, while Ji Jingzhi was still thinking about it.


    Jin Weiwei and Cheng Yu discussed for a while, then Cheng Yu told Jin Weiwei: "Gongsun Hong is very cunning, all the people he has interacted with before all approved of him, he is a person who specializes in playing dirty, and it is possible that you would get toyed with by him without them even realizing it."


    Jin Weiwei told Cheng Yu: "I naturally know that Gongsun Hong is very cunning, but I have no choice but to come into contact with him."


    Although Gongsun Hong was cunning, but in broad daylight, Jin Weiwei did not believe that Gongsun Hong was not a person who focused on benefits. She did not believe that there would be a merchant that would not make their eyes red when they saw benefits, and that her benefits were great, no matter how cunning a fox was, he would definitely be moved.


    Cheng Yu made Jin Weiwei think about it first before deciding not to meet Gongsun Hong. She could not be so reckless at the moment, or else, with Gongsun Hong''s personality, when the time came, he would scheme and make her lose a lot of benefits. Giving away this benefit was a huge loss to her.


    Jin Weiwei frowned and said to Cheng Yu: "Of course I know that this matter is extremely dangerous, but I have no choice but to go and discuss it with Gongsun Hong. Although Gongsun Hong is cunning, but in terms of business, I am not an intelligent person, so I am not affected by his schemes."


    Cheng Yu naturally knew that he couldn''t persuade Jin Weiwei anymore. He shook his head and said to Jin Weiwei: "You know it''s a fire pit but you''re still jumping inside. I really admire you."


    Jin Weiwei raised his smile and said to Cheng Yu: "Do you want to go with me?"


    Cheng Yu frowned: "I still have things to do, and might not be able to go with you."


    Jin Weiwei stood up and patted Cheng Yu''s shoulders, looking like a good brother. She said with a teasing tone: "Cheng Yu, you look so righteous and overbearing, how can you not go? Maybe when you just met Gongsun Hong, Gongsun Hong was cowardly, and didn''t say anything, and directly brought the benefits right in front of us. "


    Hearing that, Cheng Yu looked at Jin Weiwei, and spoke with an angry tone: "After everything that has happened, you used me as a shield, right? You want to use me as a shield and then you can lie back and win? "


    Jin Weiwei''s eyes narrowed into slits, and said to Cheng Yu: "How can you call it a shield? You are my trump card, how could I possibly use you as a shield? "


    Cheng Yu pretended to wipe away his sweat, and said to Jin Weiwei who was beside him: "You are flattering me, I am not that powerful. I am just a small businessman, Gongsun Hong would not even take a look at me." Jin Weiwei said to Cheng Yu while beaming: "You can come with me. Are you willing to see me in danger alone?"


    Cheng Yu frowned, he stood up from the chair and said to Jin Weiwei who was still seated: Why aren''t you getting up and leaving? Could it be that you plan to make that cunning fox, Gongsun Hong, wait for you? "


    Hearing that, Jin Weiwei knew that Cheng Yu had agreed to it, he immediately got up from the chair and pulled Cheng Yu''s arm, the two of them went to see Gongsun Hong.


    When the two of them just reached the tavern, Gongsun Hong was already seated on a table, drinking the tea in his hand, his expression at ease.


    Cheng Yu and Jin Weiwei looked at each other, and knew that Gongsun Hong had already been here for a long time. Jin Weiwei thought for a bit, then said to Cheng Yu who was beside him: "The two of us are late, do you think Gongsun Hong will blame us?" Cheng Yu looked at Jin Weiwei, and then said to Jin Weiwei quietly: "Gongsun Hong has always been a cunning person, who knows what he is thinking, I will take one step at a time."


    Jin Weiwei and Princess walked over to the chair Gongsun Hong was sitting on, Jin Weiwei laughed and said to Gongsun Hong: "I have long heard of Mister Gongsun''s great reputation, seeing you today, you indeed have an extraordinary bearing, and the rumors are true." Gongsun Hong looked at Jin Weiwei, and said with a face of doubt: "May I know who this is?"


    Jin Weiwei smiled: "I am Jin Weiwei, I have an appointment with Sir Gongsun today, and have some matters to attend to, so I pushed it for a few hours. I hope that Sir Gongsun will not ask for any suggestions."


    Gongsun Hong''s eyes turned and smiled, then said to Jin Weiwei: "I believe you must be the famous Jin Weiwei from the capital, please take a seat." Jin Weiwei laughed and said: "I dare not claim to be famous, Mr. Gongsun you are still here." He then sat down on a nearby chair.


    Gongsun Hong looked at Jin Weiwei, then roared at the waiter: "Give me a pot of tea." The waiter quickly brought a pot of tea, and Gongsun Hong said to Jin Weiwei: "I hope Miss Kim does not mind."


    Jin Weiwei arrogantly raised his teacup and poured himself a cup of tea: "I love tea the most in my life, why would I mind this tea? Right, I forgot to introduce the person beside me to Mr. Gongsun."


    Jin Weiwei glanced at them, and then sat down and listened to the storyteller inside the teahouse. The storyteller was Cheng Yu: "This is Cheng Yu." Cheng Yu, who was engrossed in listening, heard the names of the two, looked at Jin Weiwei, then looked at Gongsun Hong who was smiling at him, laughed and said: "I am doing some small business, and am naturally a little vulgar, I hope that Mr. Gongsun does not mind."


    Gongsun Hong laughed: "As expected, the people around Miss Jin Weiwei all have an extraordinary demeanor, and I, Gongsun, am truly envious."


    Jin Weiwei gave a slight smile: "Mister Gongsun has a lot of talents beside him, if I meet you, I, Jin, am truly impressed."


    Just then, Ji Jingzhi walked in, and directly walked towards the few people.

 C281

    Jin Weiwei laughed brilliantly, when Ji Jingzhi comes over, don''t see Jin Weiwei smiling at him, he immediately said to Jin Weiwei: I''m here because I have something to do, you rest first, after I finish with my matters, I will be back. Jin Weiwei was completely taken aback, and couldn''t help but suspect if Ji Jingzhi was sick today. He also didn''t come to report to him everyday when he had matters to attend to, so what was going on today?


    Gongsun Hong naturally saw Ji Jingzhi, who was at the side, rushing over in a hurry as well. After that, he asked somewhat curiously: "May I know who this person is?" Jin Weiwei only smiled. She naturally knew that Ji Jingzhi''s identity was to be kept a secret, otherwise, it might bring about his death. To run amok in a shopping mall, this was a rule that Jin Weiwei understood, not to mention that the person was Ji Jingzhi.


    "Mr. Gongsun has many talents. The person beside him is just the waiter who just came in. Mr. Gongsun, please don''t advise this waiter to be reckless." Gongsun Hong glanced at it, then picked up the teacup on the table and smiled.


    "The gentleman who came just now has an extraordinary air about him. He is not a normal person, how could he be a waiter of the shop?" Gongsun Hong asked.


    "Mr. Gongsun, you recite too much. This waiter usually follows a young master. Naturally, he has learned a bit. Thus, others will see that he has an extraordinary bearing and is not a normal person."


    Gongsun Hong laughed, and naturally he knew that Jin Weiwei would definitely not reveal who this person was, and could only change the question, "Miss Kim, you are an expert in business, and are not one of the women that I, Gongsun, have met. I am truly impressed, and wonder if Miss Kim is interested in entering the merchant guild?"


    Jin Weiwei naturally understood the meaning behind Gongsun Hong''s words, but he did not know what Gongsun Hong was actually thinking. She was obviously just a junior, yet Gongsun Hong actually allowed her to enter the merchant guild.


    Upon hearing Gongsun Hong, who was standing at the side, let Jin Weiwei enter the Ye City Chamber of Commerce, giving him a look, then said to the two people beside him: "My stomach is a bit uncomfortable, Jin Weiwei, accompany me there first, I hope that Mr. Gongsun can wait for a while longer." Gongsun Hong only laughed, and did not speak. He was a little worried for Cheng Yu, and did not see through Cheng Yu''s intentions at all.


    After the two of them left the tavern, Cheng Yu said to Jin Weiwei: "Gongsun Hong is inviting you to join the Ye City Chamber of Commerce, there must be a trap involved, do not be reckless." Jin Weiwei rolled his eyes at Cheng Yu, and only then did he realize how much of a stomachache Cheng Yu was, and was only to remind him, that Jin Weiwei had knocked on his head: "Do I look that stupid? I still need your reminder. "


    Cheng Yu naturally knew that Jin Weiwei had already thought of this, but in order to prevent Jin Weiwei from acting out of impulse, he tricked Jin Weiwei out and reminded her.


    Jin Weiwei said to Cheng Yu: "Let''s go in first, we can''t let Gongsun Hong wait for too long." Cheng Yu glanced at Jin Weiwei, and the two of them went back into the tavern to talk with Gongsun Hong.


    "I owe it to Mister Gongsun to be so generous. I, Jin, am only doing some small business. I''m afraid I don''t have the qualifications to enter the Ye City Chamber of Commerce." Jin Weiwei said to Gongsun Hong.


    Gongsun Hong naturally knew that the two had gone out to discuss this matter. After all, it was no small matter to them.


    "How can the talented Miss Kim not have the qualifications to do so? Could it be that the Miss Kim loathed the Ye City Chamber of Commerce? " Gongsun Hong said to Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei took a sip of the tea on the table: "I, Jin, am truly not qualified.


    Gongsun Hong knew that this method was useless, and then said to Jin Weiwei: "Since this Miss Kim is unwilling to enter the Ye City Chamber of Commerce, I wonder if this Miss Kim is willing to marry Gongsun Jun. This Gongsun will fall in love with this Miss Kim at first sight, I hope this Miss Kim will not refuse."


    Jin Weiwei who was drinking tea was also stunned, she did not expect Gongsun Hong to actually make such a request, but she believed that with Jin Weiwei''s strength, he would definitely be able to handle this issue beautifully, but she had still overestimated Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei was furious when he heard Gongsun Hong''s request, and when he thought about how Gongsun Hong had belittled women, he burned with anger.


    only knew that whatever he wanted, he would definitely be able to obtain it too, but he had never failed before. He was Gongsun Hong after all.


    Seeing Gongsun Hong''s victorious look, the anger in Jin Weiwei''s heart became even stronger, and he said to Gongsun Hong who was beside him: "I originally thought that Sir Gongsun was different from the ordinary man, but I never thought that I overestimated you."


    Hearing Jin Weiwei''s sincere answer, Gongsun Hong felt that it was more interesting, he did not think that the girl in front of him would be so interesting, he took another sip of tea and said to Jin Weiwei: "If Miss Kim agrees to my request, I, Gongsun Jiu, will definitely comply with it in the future, and any Gongsun Jiu that Miss Kim proposes will definitely satisfy my request."


    "I, Jin Weiwei, am not a powerless woman, Mr. Gongsun truly dotes on you." Jin Weiwei naturally knew that today''s matter was over, when Gongsun Hong said that he wanted Jin Weiwei as his concubine, Jin Weiwei knew that today''s matter was already over, because Gongsun Hong''s intention was not to drink wine, it was just an act on his part today.


    Jin Weiwei immediately stood up, picked up the wine on the table, and poured it on Gongsun Hong''s face: "Women are also individuals, and are not products. Please do not use your mortal thoughts to talk about women''s value."


    Gongsun Hong, who was at the side, was completely shocked. He had been acting tyrannically in the market all these years, and had never seen any kind of woman he wanted. He was only interested in her a little, but she actually thought of him as Old Lord Taishang.


    After Jin Weiwei finished pouring the alcohol, he pulled Cheng Yu who was by the side and directly left. was also stunned, he never thought that Jin Weiwei would be so impulsive, he actually poured wine directly at Gongsun Hong, but after thinking about it, Jin Weiwei actually dared to pour wine, so he obviously knew of the consequences of this, and did not say much. He only followed Jin Weiwei, and the two of them returned to Cheng Yu''s restaurant.


    With the help of the sesame oil and peanut oil that Jin Weiwei had refined, Cheng Yu''s business became very good. The opposing tavern was Cheng Yu''s nemesis, and seeing that Cheng Yu''s business was so popular, he had long been envious and knew that the reason Cheng Yu''s tavern was doing so well was because of that sesame oil and peanut oil. However, he himself did not have the time to develop it.


    Looking at his own customers running towards Cheng Yu''s restaurant, the boss of the Ling-Yue Inn felt upset. He just wanted to immediately destroy Cheng Yu''s restaurant, if Cheng Yu''s restaurant continued to develop, the boss of the inn would know that his restaurant was going to close soon.

 C282

    Now, Jin Weiwei began to prepare to create a brand for his oil. After all, naming something was a big deal. The name of an item could determine whether it was sold well or not, so that was the key.


    But what name? Jin Weiwei had been thinking for the past few days. He felt that since it was peanut oil, he would have to give it a name that suited it well. This was because her main target was the commoners, so her name was too high-end and inappropriate. It made people feel like they couldn''t afford it.


    Jin Weiwei kept staring at the peanut oil, the scene in front of him turning yellow. It was crystal clear without any impurities, just like a piece of pure white, flawless jade. Right, it was Jade. Only, it was yellow. Or Golden Jade Peanut Oil.


    This name caused Jin Weiwei''s eyes to light up, and he felt that this name was really too good. She felt that he was a genius, because this name was too good. If an ordinary person were to hear this name, their first impression of it would be great. The thought of the oil being sold, and the fact that her little vault would have a lot more money. Jin Weiwei''s heart was very excited and excited.


    So she told the servants, "The oil is called" Golden Jade Peanut Oil "! You can make a sign with this name. Then we''ll start selling it! "


    When the servant heard this, he was also very excited. This was because they knew how fragrant peanut oil was. It was most suitable for cooking. The oil would be sold, and his wages would rise.


    Although he had a lot of wages now, no one would mind having less money.


    Thinking up to here, the servant''s work passion was raised by a lot. In less than a day, every jar of oil was bearing the sign of Golden Jade Peanut Oil. Looking at this jar of peanut oil that was condensed with her blood and sweat. Jin Weiwei was very happy, but that was not enough. There must be a good marketing strategy in order to sell out.


    Jin Weiwei thought that he still needed a lot of effort to spread the word. There weren''t many people who knew about it yet, and publicity was essential if one wanted to open up a market. No matter how good something was, if it was not promoted, then the effort would be wasted. Therefore, she decided to advertise the Golden Jade Peanut Oil at the entrance of the shop by herself, as this would help drive other things. It''s a way to do it both ways.


    The shops were originally a commercial street, so there were definitely a lot of people coming and going. If they caught up to the peak again, there would be even more people coming and going. After all, so many people were shopping, waiting to go home and cook. Thus, her oil would definitely be known by more people.


    Therefore, Jin Weiwei had his men place a table at the entrance, and then place the oil on the table. He then opened the announcement sealed on the jar. As soon as the jar was opened, the passersby could smell the fragrance of peanut oil. However, this was still not enough. She took out a few more small bowls and scooped up the peanut oil from the jar. This way, it could be enjoyed by passersby.


    For a moment, the passersby were all captivated by the fragrance of peanut oil. Seeing the passerby sniffing with his nose, Jin Weiwei''s lips curled up. He knew that the passersby were all attracted. However, this was only the first step.


    "Everyone come take a look!" This is our new peanut oil. His name was "Golden Jade Peanut Oil". This is a secret recipe that we make with peanut oil. We just launched it today, so it''s going to be cheaper. Don''t miss it! This oil only has our family! "


    "Besides, the head of the Cloud River temple and the head of the Jia Mi Temple are also using our own. Therefore, this kind of oil could be used by vegetarian people. "There''s no need to worry about food and water!"


    After hearing Jin Weiwei''s words, it was obvious that some of the passersby were ready to make their move. Yun He Monastery and Jia Mi Temple''s monastery head, alas! What kind of person was he? He was always using the oil from this house. Then we can also bask in the light!


    However, a discordant voice came from the crowd and said, "How do we know if your oil is good or not? It was really fragrant, and the host was also in use. But we don''t even know how it tastes! "


    After saying this, some people immediately agreed, thinking that he was right. However, there were some people who were rebutting him. After all, he was the head of the Cloud Temple and the Jia Mi Temple! How could he not trust a god-like person like that?


    However, Jin Weiwei had already predicted this would happen, and said calmly: "Don''t worry about our family''s oil. If there''s a problem, we''ll make it up. If you doubt the taste, you can try it! You do not believe my words, but you will definitely believe your own feelings! "


    As soon as he said that, some of the people in the crowd immediately wanted to give it a try. After all, there was free oil to try, so why not? It could also provide a guarantee for their own safety in buying items. After seeing this, Jin Weiwei immediately ordered some people to pour some oil on them. For them to taste.


    After the person tasted it, he discovered that his mouth was filled with the fragrance of peanuts. The rich fragrance of peanuts assaulted his nostrils, intoxicating him. When the passersby below saw the expressions of the people above, they also wanted to go up and try. Jin Weiwei laughed, and asked them to pour oil.


    After the passersby tried it, someone immediately said happily, "Lady Boss, give me a jar! "No, a few more jars!" The person beside her immediately responded, "Lady Boss, give me a few jars as well!"


    The people behind him were even more anxious. They were afraid that if they were one step too late, they would lose all traces of their existence. When Jin Weiwei saw this scene, he was extremely excited. However, he still didn''t show it on the surface and said, "Everyone, don''t worry. There will be more!"


    Looking at the silver notes in his hand and the departing crowd, Jin Weiwei was very happy. She knew that Golden Jade Peanut Oil''s reputation had finally spread far and wide. In the future, business will be round and smooth!


    Finally, when everyone had left, the oil was sold out. Jin Weiwei leaned back in his chair and thought: Yun He Monastery and I are fated to be the head of Jia Mi Temple, furthermore, we are using their name to advertise, and now that the name of our oil has been posted, we should pay him a visit.


    With that said and done, Jin Weiwei ordered his men to prepare their carriages and horses, and then brought the newly developed sesame oil to meet him. This sesame oil is made from plant essence, just like peanut oil. Since the host could accept peanut oil, then he could also accept sesame oil!


    Thinking about how the host would accept her gift, Jin Weiwei felt a wave of excitement in his heart. As a modern person, she didn''t really believe what the monk said, but she had transmigrated and was in charge of her affairs. Transmigration was not something that could be explained with science. So whether it was before or now, she held respect for the gods.

    Carrying carefully chosen gifts, Jin Weiwei sat on the flexible sedan chair and went to the Yun He Monastery.


    The journey was long, and Jin Weiwei was bored to death. He secretly lifted the curtain and took a look at the scenery outside.


    There was a bazaar in the capital today, and there were a lot of people coming and going. It was bustling with noise and excitement. Many commoners brought their children and came out to buy household goods.


    "Frozen Sugar Gourd, Frozen Sugar Gourd!"


    "Come and take a look, I have all sorts of jewelry here."


    "..."


    The cries of the hawkers made the city seem more alive.


    This was the normal way of life for the people.


    Jin Weiwei smirked, and saw a hairpin in the first glance. She didn''t like hairpins. They were too heavy and dazzling. The hairpin, on the other hand, was much simpler. It only had a precious jade inlaid within it, and it was simple and generous, causing her to be extremely fond of it.


    Jin Weiwei called the coachman off the carriage and bought a hairpin. The hairpin entered her black hair, filling up her 3000 worries with a touch of beauty.


    Jin Weiwei looked at the bustling street, and really wanted to take a stroll. She hadn''t been shopping for a long time, and in the modern era, she often bought and bought. But now, he had been busy with his business all day and rarely came out for a walk.


    However, Jin Weiwei did not regret it. Her greatest wish was to live a life of cramp in her hands, after counting the money.


    Jin Weiwei got onto the palanquin, and couldn''t help but exhale. She opened her mouth wide and slapped it with her hand.


    After finally reaching the foot of the mountain where Yun He Monastery was located, Jin Weiwei impatiently got off the palanquin. In the small space between the carriage and the carriage, she was about to go crazy.


    Jin Weiwei lifted up her skirt and hopped her way up the mountain. Once she entered the Clouds Temple, Daoists immediately came to welcome her.


    "Benefactor, you are here to look for the Absurd Taoist-head right?"


    The Daoist Priest''s words revealed Jin Weiwei''s purpose in coming here.


    Jin Weiwei nodded, a look of surprise sweeping past his eyes. This, could it be that Absurd Taoist-head calculated this again? This Absurd Taoist-head was really mysterious.


    "Unfortunately, the hosts of the Absurd Taoist-head and the Jia Mi Temple have gone to travel the world. I am afraid they will only be back after a long time."


    The Daoist priest regretfully said.


    Jin Weiwei''s face was filled with disappointment. However, even though she was extremely unwilling, the hosts of the Absurd Taoist-head and the Jia Mi Temple still left.


    "In that case, this humble girl will leave these plain oil and a few thin gifts here and leave first."


    There was no choice, Jin Weiwei could only put down the sesame oil and a few other gifts and bid farewell to the Taoist.


    The little Daoist took the item, clasped his hands, and said, "Many thanks to Benefactor for the gift. This Penniless Priest will definitely tell this matter to Absurd Taoist-head."


    Jin Weiwei drooped his head, a little unhappy.


    She slowly walked down the mountain. Although it was beautiful, she was not in the mood to appreciate it. She just lowered her head and looked at the stairs as she walked down one step at a time.


    As she walked, a pair of black boots appeared in front of her eyes.


    Jin Weiwei raised his head and looked at the man.


    It was actually the Owner Qian of the Ling-Yue Inn, why was he here?


    When Owner Qian saw the graceful figure before his eyes, his eyes revealed a greedy look.


    Jin Weiwei felt the unhappiness in the Owner Qian''s eyes, and could not help but shiver a little. However, she didn''t take it seriously and only thought that she was wrong.


    After all, she spent her days in charge of the shop and rarely interacted with the people of the outside world. At most, she would only interact with some outsiders, and she did not have a close relationship with the Owner Qian.


    Jin Weiwei moved to the side a few steps, opening up a path, and waited for Owner Qian to pass.


    Unexpectedly, Owner Qian didn''t make any movements, he only sized Jin Weiwei up from head to toe, as if he was going to see through Jin Weiwei.


    Jin Weiwei felt uncomfortable being sized up by the Owner Qian.


    Jin Weiwei opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say anything in retaliation. After all, Owner Qian only lost control of himself in the eyes of others. Forget it, if I were to point it out directly, it would cause Owner Qian to lose face. Moreover, their relationship wasn''t particularly good.


    Owner Qian swallowed his saliva forcefully. Seeing Jin Weiwei''s vigilant expression, he realized that he had lost control of himself.


    Owner Qian coughed lightly, concealing his embarrassment.


    Jin Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the Owner Qian was no longer looking at him with that peculiar gaze.


    Owner Qian did not plan to leave. He looked at Jin Weiwei and said: "I want to ask you one thing, was the oil in Cheng Yu''s Restaurant made by you?"


    Jin Weiwei, hearing Owner Qian''s tone towards her, felt that he did not come with good intentions. She took a cautious step back and almost fell to the ground when she heard him speak of troops, but luckily she managed to stabilize her body and did not fall there, looking to be in a sorry state.


    When Jin Weiwei saw Owner Qian''s expression, she became a little cautious. She frowned and said to him: "I would like to ask, what do you mean by that? What kind of oil is Cheng Yu using, it doesn''t seem to have much to do with you, right? I want to know what exactly you want to do. "


    Owner Qian was slightly unhappy, but he did not display it too clearly.


    The Owner Qian tried his best to patiently explain, "Cheng Yu''s restaurant has become more and more popular recently, and already has a situation of becoming the number one restaurant in the capital. I thought again that you had made a pretty good oil, so I thought of that. "


    After Jin Weiwei heard this, he said calmly as usual, "That''s right, you are right. The restaurant in his house is indeed made with my oil, so if you have anything you want to say, please speak frankly."


    Owner Qian thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said to Jin Weiwei: "I also want this oil, I hope you can sell it to me, but don''t worry, the profits will not be low, at that time, I will buy your oil at a higher price than the market price."


    Hearing this, Jin Weiwei laughed without saying a word.


    Seeing that, the Owner Qian threw out an even bigger bait.


    "How much did Cheng Yu use to buy your oil? I can buy the oil at double the price, so you can make more money. "


    Owner Qian looked at Jin Weiwei with full confidence, he had already known Jin Weiwei''s personality a long time ago. He knew clearly that Jin Weiwei liked money the most, and wanted to earn more profits the most. This was a very ambitious woman.


    Owner Qian looked at Jin Weiwei with a wide smile, waiting for his response. When that time came, his business would be in full swing.


    Unexpectedly, Jin Weiwei was not affected by his enticement. She shook her head, and rejected him without hesitation.


    "No, I can''t sell you the oil."


    Jin Weiwei rejected very decisively, and when the Owner Qian heard this, he became somewhat angry.
