Qi Yuanshuo moved the wooden chair closer to the wooden table, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "Lirenfang and Qiushuige were the first to start selling soap. Perhaps the shopkeeper Yun had heard the news a long time ago. Qingji opened a few days ago. I believe that similar shops in the county have seen the booming soap business.

Qingji has become a rising star, and Yun Da, the shopkeeper, is naturally jealous. He wants to be favored by the boss of the imperial capital, and the soap secret recipe can be his bargaining chip.

He coveted the soap recipe, but was afraid of Shu Mingzong who was working with you, so he asked his nephew to pretend to marry you and take you home so that he could get the soap recipe."

Gu Qinghuai sneered: "They really underestimated the country widow, thinking that if I showed a little corner of her clothes, I would stick to her. They didn't think that a country widow who can make soap is so easy to fool."

Qi Yuanshuo chuckled: "If that woman wasn't Sister Xiaohuai, she might have been fooled by them a long time ago."

After all, most country widows still very much hope to marry rich men in the city. At least this is a reversal of fate, and they can also be very face-saving when they go out.

"Of course, your sister Xiaohuai is a different kind of person," Gu Qinghuai smiled slyly.

Qi Yuanshuo looked at her and could hardly take his eyes off her.

Gu Qinghuai said seriously: "Xiao Shitou, who is the owner behind Muxiang Pavilion?"

Qi Yuanshuo retracted his gaze, his brows darkening, "It's one of my enemies, the Duke of Liang's Mansion, which is also the maternal family of Concubine Liang Shufei and the maternal grandfather of the Third Prince. Muxiang Pavilion's headquarters is in the imperial capital, and they have shops in every county and prefecture in the Great Xia Kingdom."

"It's true that enemies meet on a narrow road." Gu Qinghuai pulled the corner of his lips, not showing the slightest worry, "Then, what is the status of the Shu family in the imperial capital?"

Qi Yuanshuo laughed sarcastically, "The Shu family favors concubines over wives. The only legitimate son, Shu Mingzong's father, is the county magistrate of Qinghe County. Old Master Shu is a third-rank Guanglu Temple Minister, while the eldest son is a fourth-rank Minister of Rites."

"Is the Shu family the third prince's party?" Gu Qinghuai also took a sip of tea.

"No," Qi Yuanshuo shook his head, "The Shu family should be the Fourth Prince's party. My brother has been deposed, and the Third and Fourth Princes are currently the biggest competitors. Sister Xiaohuai doesn't have to worry. At worst, we can make Yun the shopkeeper."

Gu Qinghuai laughed and said, "I'm not worried. Once the soap reaches the imperial capital, it will inevitably attract attention. What is coming will eventually come."

Qi Yuanshuo's eyes darkened and he clenched his fists secretly.

Perhaps he could have joined the army earlier and earned military merit earlier. Only with a strong force could he protect Sister Xiaohuai and his family, and then take revenge.

"Little Stone, don't think too much. When enemies come, we will fight them with our soldiers. When water comes, we will block it with earth. I, Gu Qinghuai, am not a person who fears things. If you worry about this and that every day, you will not be able to live like this," Gu Qinghuai smiled and touched Qi Yuanshuo's forehead with his hand, emitting a comfortable and relaxed feeling all over his body.

Qi Yuanshuo also relaxed, raised his hand and touched the place where Gu Qinghuai's finger had pointed, and his heart was beating fast.

He took out the bag of gold and pushed it in front of Gu Qinghuai, "Sister Xiaohuai, these are all for you."

"What is it?" Gu Qinghuai was a little surprised.

Qi Yuanshuo raised the corner of his lips and said, "Open it and take a look."

Gu Qinghuai smiled and glared at him, then opened the cloth bag.

There were actually pieces of gold inside!

Each piece is the size of her palm and as thick as her little finger, with a very pure texture and a generous portion.

Gu Qinghuai's eyes flashed with surprise, and he smiled and teased: "Wow, Xiao Shitou, you are so rich! I felt sorry for you for nothing. I thought you were so poor that you had no clothes to wear!"

Qi Yuanshuo was a little embarrassed. He touched the tip of his nose and lowered his voice: "My mother said that if you are born in an imperial family, your fate will change every day, so you must be prepared for any eventuality. Therefore, since the three of us were born, she began to prepare a way out for us. This gold is our way out. My brother, sister, and Xiaohuo all have it, but it is all in the imperial capital and we didn't have time to take it away."

"Your mother is a person who always thinks of danger in times of peace and is very insightful. Why did she fall for the conspiracy?" Gu Qinghuai was a little puzzled.

Qi Yuanshuo's eyes were cold and his expression was sad: "Her only miscalculation was that she mistakenly trusted the man who sat on the dragon throne."

Gu Qinghuai stared at Qi Yuanshuo in a daze, then lowered his eyes and turned the teacup in his hand.

She didn't want to get involved in the royal family's feuds. If Qi Yuanshuo and Qi Yuanxiu needed help, she would provide some help within her ability, that's all.

Seeing Qi Yuanshuo in a low mood, she smiled and diverted his attention: "This gold is the last resort your mother gave you, why are you giving it to me?"

Qi Yuanshuo came back to his senses, his ears suddenly turned red, and his voice couldn't stop trembling slightly: "I'll leave it to you for safekeeping. From now on, I...all my money will be given to you."

Gu Qinghuai stared at him with a curious look in her eyes. After a moment, she suddenly laughed out loud: "Little Stone, you... could it be that you have fallen in love with me? Ahahaha..."

Qi Yuanshuo stood up suddenly, his cheeks and ears flushed red, "I...I...you...you have space there, it's safest to keep the money there!"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and rushed out of the room, his back looking flustered and embarrassed.

Gu Qinghuai laughed so hard that her body shook: "What a shy child."

Boys aged thirteen or fourteen are beginning to fall in love. Due to the influence of hormones, they often fall in love with beautiful women with sexy bodies. This is the budding of sexual awareness and is very normal.

Gu Qinghuai touched his face and looked down at his figure.

She has a pretty face, and after taking the host's exclusive skin-beautifying pills, her skin has become even better. Although she has a big belly and no waist, she still looks very sexy with a slender neck, firm breasts and round buttocks.

Such a figure is indeed easy to arouse the fantasies of young people who are full of vigor and vitality.

However, this kind of liking is not love in the true sense. It is mostly an illusion caused by physiological impulse. There is no need to pay too much attention to it or take it too seriously.

After a few years, when the children grow up and become more mature, that little bit of love will disappear.

Gu Qinghuai counted the gold and found there were a total of one hundred pieces. It was really true that a lean camel was bigger than a horse. The former queen was very rich.

Gu Qinghuai put the gold into the space. Qi Yuanshuo will need money a lot in the future, so let's keep it for him first.

The next day, Gu Qinghuai suddenly felt that her family members looked at her strangely, and kept pushing Qi Yuanshuo towards her intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, when having breakfast in the morning, her second sister originally sat on her left and Shu Mingzheng sat on her right, but her second sister said that she liked places with brighter light and insisted on changing seats with Qi Yuanshuo.

After changing positions, the second sister even winked at Qi Yuanshuo.

Qi Yuanshuo's mouth never dropped.

For example, Gu Qinghuai usually likes to ask Lingzhi to massage her shoulders. Ah Niang said, "Hey, Xiao Shitou, didn't you just learn a set of massage techniques? You studied martial arts and know more about the acupuncture points of the human body. In the future, you should help Huai'er massage her shoulders more. She is really working too hard."
