Yi Xin as a concubine

Xin Baoer has always had the habit of taking a nap. When she is busy, she sleeps for half an hour, and when she is not busy, it is also common to sleep for an hour or two.

Because the banquet ended late today, she slept late too. When she woke up, it was already past 3:00 p.m. She only got up because Zhao Xian came to see her about something.

Xin Chengzhi ran up in a hurry and saw his own little eighth sister, who was wearing a set of new and half-old casual clothes. She was lazily leaning on the couch, drinking soup and listening to Zhao Xian's work report. She was as comfortable as a delicate cat.

Xin Chengzhi's anxious heart calmed down all of a sudden. He found a seat closest to the door and sat down, listening quietly to Zhao Xian's chattering and the little girl's occasional "hmm" and "ah" sounds.

As soon as Qin Chu came in, he saw that everyone in the room was getting along harmoniously, so he simply didn't come in to disturb them. He leaned against the door frame and closed his eyes to take a nap. He drank a lot of wine today!

It was almost closing time. As the chief executive in charge of finance, Zhao Xian had to summarize the day's losses and profits every day. After reporting what needed to be reported, he left quickly. When he reached the door, he saw Qin Chu resting with her eyes closed and did not wake her up. Instead, he carefully walked out sideways.

"Second brother, have you finished shopping? Why don't you come in? What are you doing at the door?" Xin Baoer put down the soup bowl, then looked at the two people standing and sitting at the door, and asked with a smile.

"Yeah, we're done shopping." Xin Chengzhi nodded, stood up and walked inside, then sat down again not far from Xin Baoer.

Qin Chu didn't move, and Xin Baoer didn't care about her. Qin Chu was a free-spirited person, and she had been subject to a lot of restrictions following her, so most of the time, Xin Baoer was particularly indulgent towards her.

"How do you feel?" Xin Baoer asked again.

"Very good." Xin Chengzhi scratched his head and answered hesitantly.

"You're really double-standard. You just told me a lot of opinions, but when you saw your cousin Baoer, you have no opinions at all." Qin Chu walked over with a staggering step, as if he had just woken up, and said with disgust with a pout.

Seeing that his true colors were exposed, Xin Chengzhi rolled his eyes, but did not refute anything. With a little embarrassment, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in small sips.

"Really? If you have any opinions, just say it. When did second brother become so distant with me?" Xin Baoer sat up straight, with some interest in her watery grape eyes.

"No, really not, I was just talking nonsense." Xin Chengzhi was a little panicked at the moment, regretting that he was too casual in front of Qin Chu. In order to tease her, he deliberately competed with her and said some nonsense. Those remarks full of male chauvinism, if Baoer knew about it, she would be estranged from him!

"Humph! You didn't say that the things Bao'er designed were immoral; or you didn't say that Bao'er bought at a low price and sold at a high price. He is a profiteer; or you didn't say that the bar run by Bao'er is an improper place. You dare to say it but not to admit it, humph! Coward!" Qin Chu drank tea while lightly adding insult to injury.

Xin Baoer looked at this one, then looked at that one, and felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little strange, but she did not want to dig into the matter. Although they were both her relatives, they were both adults in their twenties and were fully responsible for their own actions. She was still young and did not need her to worry about them.

So I cleverly changed the subject and said, "I just saw my second brother in a hurry, what's the matter?"

Speaking of this, Xin Chengzhi finally remembered the purpose of this trip and said seriously: "I heard from Qin Chu that you want to get the queen to do business with you?"

"This is still in the planning stage and nothing has been decided yet. Second brother, do you think there is any problem?" Xin Baoer asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, little Eighth Sister, you are really getting bolder and bolder now. If you have any questions, tell me what the questions are. Who is the Queen? She is the King of Nanzhao, and the Gu King who kills people without being seen. If you cooperate with her, isn't that like grinding the skin with a tiger? No matter who she is, if she just moves her little finger casually, you will be in trouble."

Xin Chengzhi became more and more excited as he spoke, he was almost dancing, his face was full of mystery, he even deliberately lowered his voice, looking very defensive.

Xin Baoer found it funny and showed a distressed expression at the right time. She whispered aggrievedly, "What should I do? I have already implemented more than half of my plan and the network is almost ready. If I stop now, all the previous efforts will be in vain. Not only will the money I invested be wasted, but the higher-ups may also notice my "ulterior motives" and ban me. What should I do?"

"Ah, could it be so serious?" Xin Chengzhi listened in a daze as his eighth sister described the consequences. He felt as if he were there himself. His heart ached and he didn't notice the mischief in the little girl's eyes.

When he asked this question, Qin Chu finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I never knew before that the second son of the Xin family actually had such a lovely side, hahahaha..."

The tense mood was interrupted by the sudden laughter. Xin Chengzhi felt annoyed for a moment. He looked at the two women in the room who were laughing so hard that they were shaking with laughter. What was there to not understand? He thought that he, the Second Young Master Xin, was once a romantic figure who was fond of women, but now he was being fooled around by two little girls. This was really... Alas!

After all, they are ours, so just pamper them!

Thinking of this, the little annoyance in my heart disappeared, but when I thought about the previous topic, I still couldn't help but worry.

"Baoer, are you sure?"

"I am cooperating with her without harming her interests. I also give her a lot of money. She doesn't even have to do anything. It's just like pie in the sky. If you were in her situation, would you do it?" Xin Baoer asked instead of answering.

"But people in high positions usually have fickle temperaments and moods. If she wants to take us by force, we may not be able to do anything about it. Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?" Xin Chengzhi's IQ was definitely online at this moment, and he asked the point right away.

"Second brother, I never thought that I would spend my whole life fighting for fame and fortune. It will only take a few years. When the North becomes strong and he is able to recover the country, all this will end."

Xin Baoer felt a little melancholy. She shook her head, throwing away all the things she didn't want to think about. She continued, "After all, this is not my territory. It's not a long-term plan for me to make money in Nanzhao. Now the economy of the Central Plains is almost stagnant. I can only think of this method to "borrow money". When the time comes, I will withdraw from Nanzhao and give all these industries to the Queen of Nanzhao. After all, I don't have the ambition to unify the world. Compared with fighting and killing, I prefer you to be well, me and everyone else!"

"What if she can't wait that long?" Xin Chengzhi continued to ask.

"Second brother, the royal family values ​​the art of diplomacy, and the people will only protect those who are good to them and who care about their concerns. Besides, I will not do anything to harm Nanzhao, and I can help her benefit the people. The people need me and need my supermarket to provide convenience for their lives, so I will be fine, at least not in a few years." Xin Baoer said confidently.

In fact, Xin Baoer really didn't think it was a big deal. It was true that she was making money, but she was just a businessman after all. Compared with the national income, the money she made was just a drop in the bucket. The Nanzhao Kingdom was not competitive and had been developing steadily over the years. It was a rich country with a strong people. The Queen of Nanzhao was still quite rich and should not look down on the little money she earned.

"Well, it seems so. You are just a nobody in Nanzhao, and the country behind you is still in tatters. There is really nothing to be afraid of."

Xin Chengzhi also figured it out and nodded with some boredom.

"Where is the family when the country is destroyed?"

Without strong support behind you, your confidence in going out will naturally be weakened.

"Little Eighth Sister, Second Brother wants to stay." Xin Chengzhi suddenly said firmly.

Xin Baoer felt that her second brother was lonely for a moment and thought he was going to express his feelings, but she didn't expect him to say this suddenly. She was stunned for a moment and then spoke with a smile.

"That's great. I have second brother to help me. I will feel more confident when I visit other countries in the future. Once we leave Nanzhao, my identity as a woman may not be a help, but a burden." Xin Baoer said sincerely.

"What, you're going to other countries?" Xin Chengzhi asked uncertainly, but he was thinking in his heart: He might have boarded his own sister's pirate ship!
