Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Li Yu looked at Miss Zhen in silence, she didn't expect that she would suddenly expose herself. It was very sudden, but it saved her a lot of trouble.

On the opposite side, Miss Zhen pinched the corner of her clothes, not daring to look at Li Yu.

She didn't expect that she would tell the truth. But if she didn't tell it, she felt heavy inside. It was fine when she didn't see Boss Li, but once she saw Boss Li, she couldn't calm down anymore.

After a while, Miss Zhen said, "Boss Li, I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Li Yu tapped the table with his fingers, "Why? There doesn't seem to be any conflict between you and me. I don't remember ever offending you."

The calmer she was, the more guilty Miss Zhen felt.

Boss Li was right, there was no deep hatred between the two of them.

It's her problem.

"I..." Miss Zhen said, "I wanted to help others, so I deliberately caused the accident where the horse was frightened."

Li Yu: "Who? Is it someone I know?"

Unable to detect the anger in her voice, Miss Zhen looked up and asked, "Aren't you angry with me?"

Li Yu curled his lips slightly: "Actually, I am a little angry, but nothing serious has happened to me, so I don't think I have anything to be angry about."

Miss Zhen: "......"

Li Yu said: "But Miss Zhen's method was indeed inappropriate. Under the circumstances at that time, if I hadn't dodged it, I would have been seriously injured."

Miss Zhen looked at her blankly.

Li Yu smiled and said, "Now that we've come to this point, Miss Zhen, please explain to me clearly what happened. As a victim, I want to know the reason."

Seeing her calm face, Miss Zhen's guilt dissipated a little.

After pondering for a while, Miss Zhen said, "I know someone who wants to cooperate with Boss Li in business, but there seems to be some misunderstanding between you two, and you have always looked down on him. In order to help him, I decided to create an opportunity for you to reconcile."

Li Yu blinked. "Let the horse get scared and attack me, and then let that man save me?"

Miss Zhen nodded: "That's what I thought at first, but something unexpected happened. The person I know was tripped up by family affairs and couldn't get there in time."

Li Yu: “…”

"But that person still cares about Boss Li very much. He was the one who gave me the ginseng and the golden wound medicine. He hopes that Boss Li will recover as soon as possible."

Li Yu said 'Oh', "It sounds like he really cares about me. Who is he?"

Miss Zhen glanced at Li Yu and said, "It was Mr. Huang Xiangru from the Ministry of Revenue. Mr. Li, Mr. Huang really wants to make friends with you. He is a gentleman. This incident was all my fault. Please don't blame him."

Finally getting the answer, Li Yu's smile became more obvious, "Mr. Huang Xiangru, he is a good guy. He did talk to me about doing business. I was planning to cooperate with him next month after this month."

"Really?" Miss Zhen looked surprised.

Li Yu nodded, "Indeed. Miss Zhen's words now prove his determination to cooperate with me. So, Miss Zhen, don't tell Mr. Huang what we talked about when we met today. After I write the cooperation agreement, you can give it to him as a surprise."

After seeing Miss Zhen off, Li Yu closed the door and looked at Nanny Tian who was coming down from upstairs.

Nanny Tian found it incredible. "From her appearance, Zhen is not a simple-minded person. She actually confessed directly today. I really didn't expect it."

Li Yu said: "This is probably the first time she has done something to harm someone. Even if she doesn't show it on her face, she is still panicking deep down. So when I get a little intimate with her, she feels so guilty that she can't help but speak out directly."

Nanny Tian hummed in agreement, and then said, "Now it's clear that Huang Xiangru did the evil. Boss Li, what are you going to do?"

Li Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Give him a taste of his own medicine."

She didn't believe a single word of the good things Miss Zhen said about Huang Xiangru.

Huang Xiangru wanted her to die. At first, he hoped that she would be seriously injured or trampled to death by a crazy horse, but she escaped. The second time, he wanted her to be poisoned, but she was careful and he failed again.

Maybe there will be a third and fourth time.

And she didn't want to encounter this situation again. Didn't Huang Xiangru want to kill her? She would make Huang Xiangru live a life worse than death.

Nanny Tian strongly agreed with Li Yu's plan and expressed her willingness to help.

"After all, it's a bad thing, so I won't dirty your hands." Li Yu said, "But this time I have to trouble the people in the palace. I need to check Huang Xiangru's daily whereabouts."

Nanny Tian said, "After seeing the results of the investigation yesterday, the princess has already sent someone to investigate. Don't worry, Boss Li. By the way, what about Zhen? Will Boss Li let her go?"

Li Yu paused for a moment and said, "I'll find someone to watch her first."

Although Huang Xiangru was the mastermind of this incident, Miss Zhen also had a big problem.

A horse is out of control when it is frightened. Miss Zhen couldn't have been unaware of this, but she still let the horse run madly on the street.

This is simply not taking other people's lives seriously.

Since Miss Zhen told the truth, she would not treat her the same way she treated Huang Xiangru, but she was not a saint and would not let her get away with no punishment.

In the afternoon, Li Yu disguised himself as a man and found two nimble beggars on the street. He promised to give each of them two taels of silver and asked them to sit at the entrance of Qiu Shui Lane every day and watch Miss Zhen's carriage.

Two taels of silver was a considerable amount, so the two beggars agreed immediately.

In this way, Li Yu went home every afternoon and dressed as a man, and went to a fixed place in the evening to listen to the beggars report news.

This went on for several days.

It has to be said that Miss Zhen was deeply in love with Huang Xiangru. Within a few days, she went to the Minister of Revenue's residence four times and was not afraid of the gossip about her spreading in the capital.

Li Yu couldn't understand, so after listening to it every day, he could only remain silent.

On July 21st, Nanny Tian brought a stack of papers from the palace.

The paper records Huang Xiangru's whereabouts over the past few days.

Li Yu thanked him and took it, reading the papers one by one.

Huang Xiangru was indeed the son of Huang Shangshu, he had done nothing good, but a lot of bad things. He went to gambling houses, brothels, and taverns every day.

After reading it once, Li Yu sat down and took out a pen and paper to make a list.

Huang Xiangru's daily schedule was similar. If he was not meeting Miss Zhen, he would go to the restaurant for lunch in the morning, go to the gambling house at noon, and go to the brothel to meet his lover in the evening.

Li Yu held the brush and looked around, then marked a time.

That was the time Huang Xiangru went to the brothel every day.

After bidding, Li Yu called Lu Xuan into the house.

"You know what I've been doing lately, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Lu Xuan had been waiting for Li Yu to say this, and asked, "What do I need to do?"

Li Yu looked outside the door and whispered his plan.

Lu Xuan listened and slowly widened his eyes.

After Li Yu finished speaking, he said, "Do you think I'm too cruel?"

"No." Lu Xuan looked at Li Yu, his eyes full of admiration, "I think this is a good idea."

Li Yu: "Then it's settled. You and I will go to the south of the city tomorrow."
