My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

Mei Xueer lay face down on the big bed, feeling terrible pain in her body.

Three hundred taels, just gone like that.

The Dog Prince didn't send her five secret guards at all. He clearly sent her five useless consumables that were extremely expensive to maintain and could not retain their value. Not even one of them was functioning properly.

However, a princess who withholds wages is not a good boss. This money should be given.

But it hurts to pay four months' salary at once.

If it was paid on time every month, maybe it wouldn't be so painful.

She was angry alone for a long time and finally figured it out.

He also asked Nanxing to give Wen Ding an extra twenty taels as disability allowance.

Let’s see what you have to say now. I, the princess, am a generous employer!

At least, you should pretend to be generous.

But, pretending to be generous costs money!

One hundred thousand taels of silver may seem like a lot, but if you spend it this way, you won't be able to keep it going for long.

A woman who escapes back to her parents' home after a divorce is too embarrassed to spend her parents' money again.

It's impossible that when you have no money, you go to cheat the dog king again.

What a price drop.

No matter how stupid and rich the Dog Prince is, he may not be willing to be deceived by her again.

It seems that we still need to increase revenue and start the business with Gu Jia as soon as possible.

Just as I was thinking about it, a servant outside the door came in and said, "Miss, there is a young man named Gu outside who wants to see you."

Mei Xueer jumped up from the bed, "See you, take him to the flower hall and wait for me right away."

When Wen Jia heard that it was Gu Jia who came, he immediately followed her vigilantly.

Last time, he suspected that the person that night was Gu Jia, but he couldn't find any evidence. He was not sure, and he didn't dare to tell Mei Xueer. It was a small matter to wrongly accuse a good person, but it would be terrible if he ruined the princess's business.

So I had to take precautions first.

This time, Gu Jia brought several finished products from the experiment -

"Princess, it's soap... I tried it and it really can wash away the dirt. I didn't expect that waste oil can be used to wash clothes. I'm really enlightened."

"It's an egg tart, would you like to try it?"

"And the black tea you mentioned? I asked someone to ferment it according to your method, but it tasted a bit bitter. I didn't bring you the beans today. It looks like it needs to be improved further."

Mei Xueer looked at them one by one. Although they didn't look very good, that was not the point. After doing it a few more times, they would naturally look good.

The key is quality.

She told Nanxing: "Go get a basin of water, and find another dirty piece of clothing, especially dirty ones."

Then, he picked up the odd-shaped egg tart on the table and took a bite: "Well, this is well made, but it's a little too sweet. You can put a little less sugar. Also, the appearance must be made regular, it's too ugly."

Gu Jia nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll go back and ask those bastards to do it again."

"Miss, this thing can really wash clothes!" Nanxing shouted in surprise.

Mei Xueer checked it and nodded: "Well, this can be mass-produced. Manager Gu should have his own channels, so I don't have to worry about this."

Gu Jia was also delighted: "Yes, yes, yes! I have ways to make soap and egg tarts. But, that black tea... Although I have my own tea house, they are all black. Miss Mei, if you make black tea in the future, it will be a new high-end product. It is not suitable to rely on my tea house alone. My tea houses are not worthy of it, and the quantity is not enough."

Mei Xueer: "Manager Gu is really polite and modest."

Gu Jia waved her hands repeatedly, "No, I never knew what modesty was. To be honest, when it comes to tea, Dingxing Tea House is the most upscale in the whole of Dazhen. It's all high-end stuff. This black tea is still a little bitter now, but the fragrance is amazing. After the test is successful, it will definitely be popular all over the capital. Only through the channels of Dingxing Tea House, the quantity is large, and the customers are either rich or noble. As long as we have the recipe in our hands and ship it to them, we will make money."

Mei Xueer nodded: "You are absolutely right. Business cannot be done by one person alone. Professionals should do professional things. The Dingxing Tea House I mentioned can be made exclusively for you. The words 'Exclusively for Dingxing' can be printed on the packaging, and the grade will be higher."

Gu Jia gave a thumbs up: "Miss Mei, that's a good idea!"

"I don't know how to do business. You are an expert in this area. I will do as you say."

After a round of greetings, Gu Jia left excitedly with a large stack of storybook manuscripts.

Wen Jia came over with some worry: "Princess, we have to be on guard against this Gu Jia. What if he has ulterior motives?"

Mei Xueer said lazily: "I have signed an agreement with him, don't worry. Besides, his business is so big, I really can't find a more suitable partner."

"I..." Wen Jia hesitated for a moment, "I'm not worried that he will embezzle the money, but I think he is suspicious. Princess, you'd better be more careful."

"Oh?" Mei Xueer looked up at him and said, "Tell me about it."

"I suspect that the person who stripped you that night was him..."

After listening to Wen Jia, Mei Xueer was slightly startled, and thought for a while: "Then I have to cooperate with him. After all, he didn't mean to harm me that night, otherwise I would have been dead. Besides, if I don't cooperate with him, how can I have the chance to find out what he is going to do."

……

Because of Gu Jia's arrival, Mei Xueer's heartache from "losing" three hundred taels of silver was temporarily relieved. After all, the soap and egg tart business would be picked up soon and she could share the money soon.

But at night, the three hundred taels of silver that she had taken out for no reason during the day made her toss and turn in sleep.

She tossed and turned on the bed, sighing with reluctance every time she turned over.

Finally, she simply covered herself with the quilt, sighing and beating her chest.

So, when a dark shadow slipped into her room, he just happened to hear her series of plaintive sighs.

"The voice is so sad, could it be because she can't let go of me?" The black shadow was secretly happy, "It seems that Prime Minister Mei is right, Xue'er can't let go of me."

Looking at the black mass tossing and turning on the bed and listening to the resentful sigh, Cui Hongjing was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to say or do.

He just wanted to see her, so he came when his buttocks injury healed a little. But what on earth was he doing here? I don't know!

"My money..." Mei Xueer in the quilt sighed and turned over again, but she didn't hit the bed and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the quilt was thick in winter, so she didn't get hurt. But she wrapped herself too tightly and couldn't get out of the quilt for a while, and couldn't even get up.

Looking at the woman struggling on the ground like a silkworm cocoon, Cui Hongjing curled the corners of his lips slightly and wanted to hug her.

But then, a muffled, gnashing voice came from under the quilt, "Dog Prince——"

The curve of Cui Hongjing's lips froze, and his hands stopped in mid-air.

Fortunately, Mei Xueer finally stuck her head out and saw at a glance that there was a person standing in front of her in the darkness.

Before she could even scream "Wow" the man covered her mouth with his hand.

Come again?

Look at my waist?

Mei Xueer couldn't help but curse in her heart those secret guards who only knew how to ask for money but didn't do their job.

A low, somewhat hoarse voice rang in my ears, "Xue'er!"
