The little sister is a troublemaker

Zhang Yi asked gently, "In the past, the master only cared about whether this business was profitable. This time, it seems that there are other things involved."

Li Mulan sighed, "With my current status, it is impossible not to consider it. If we only talk about the benefits, with Little Grasshopper's ability and my brain, this business will make money anyway. And it has opened up a new way of doing business, and it may be even better in the future. It is not impossible for Little Grasshopper to become the richest man and compete with the eldest brother of the Lin family. But if it involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries, I have to be cautious."

Zhang Yi nodded with satisfaction, "Master, your considerations are becoming more and more comprehensive. In fact, this matter is neither difficult nor easy."

"Well?" Li Mulan raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yi laughed, "Without considering other factors, it all depends on whether the master wants to make this deal."

"Of course I thought so. If you don't make money, you'd be a fool, right?"

"Haha, that's fine. Since you want to do it, the benefits of doing this business must be greater than not doing it."

Li Mulan rolled her eyes. Yes, if you want to make money, just make this matter more reasonable. However, hey, you can't be so irresponsible. You still have to discuss it with Chu Chenfeng.

When Chu Chenfeng returned home, it was already time for dinner.

Li Mulan greeted him personally with a happy face and led him to the dining table.

Chu Chenfeng was a little flattered, and asked with a smile, "What's going on?"

"Nothing. I asked the kitchen to make a few new dishes today. They are all dishes I often eat before. You must have never eaten them before. I want you to try them."

A hint of fondness flashed in Chu Chenfeng's eyes. He certainly knew that Duanmu Zijun had come to visit today, and he also knew what they had talked about. Li Mulan was so enthusiastic today, and Chu Chenfeng knew what she was up to without having to guess, but he still enjoyed everything she had prepared for him.

"Really? Then I'd like to try it."

Chu Chenfeng was very satisfied with the dinner, and Li Mulan took him for a walk.

These are what Chu Chenfeng usually does with Li Mulan every day. Today, she is more active than him.

Chu Chenfeng smiled and let her pull him. After they walked around the back garden twice, he spoke, "Are you telling me that you are going to sleep at night?"

Li Mulan was stunned, then smiled a little guilty. Yes, what could he possibly hide from him about the palace?

"You know it all?"

Chu Chenfeng raised his eyebrows, "Yeah."

"Then what do you think?"

"What about Lan'er herself?"

"Of course I think it's feasible. Of course, making money is only one aspect of it," Li Mulan kept observing Chu Chenfeng's reaction, "The most important thing is to promote diplomatic relations between the two countries. You see, Simon has sent a princess here to marry, and has also signed an armistice agreement and a peace agreement between the two countries. He has shown great sincerity. If we can cooperate in business, the relationship will naturally be more stable and more harmonious. It's not a good idea to always be at war."

Chu Chenfeng nodded, looking as if he was listening attentively.

Li Mulan continued, "Moreover, Daqing and Simon have been fighting for decades. On the one hand, it is because of the ambitions of those in power. On the other hand, which is the most critical reason in my opinion, is that they are short of supplies, and they have no way to solve this problem, so they can only fight and rob. I think if the people can have enough food, maybe... there will be no need to fight. Of course, I also know that these are often decided by those in power, but at a certain level, it can reduce the possibility of continuing the war. What do you think?"

"Lan'er is right, but you may have overestimated the terrible nature of the superiors."

Li Mulan raised her eyebrows, waiting for his explanation.

"Do you know what the first thing the little emperor Simon did after Duanmu Qing died?"

"what?"

"He took back his military power immediately."

Li Mulan frowned, "Didn't they say that Duanmu Zijun inherited Duanmu Qing's position and became the general?"

"Indeed, he is just a general without military power."

"Then what does this Duanmu Zijun want?"

"What's the purpose... I also want to know. Not only that, the little emperor has secretly cultivated a lot of his own power, and he seems to be very wary of this half-brother."

Li Mulan frowned, "So the royal family has no family affection."

"That's right."

"Once Emperor Simon is able to take power independently, he will certainly feel that Duanmu Zijun is a stumbling block. Then wouldn't he be... also very dangerous?"

"Duanmu Zijun is a smart man, it's impossible for him to be completely defenseless."

"Oh my," Li Mulan stroked her forehead, "your circle is so complicated."

Chu Chenfeng smiled at her expression, "Lan'er is also in the middle of the situation now, what's the matter? Do you want to abandon your husband?"

Li Mulan glanced at him and asked, "Is it too late now?"

Chu Chenfeng pulled the person into his arms and said, "It's too late."

"Hmph, what are you talking about then?"

Li Mulan let him hold her. Anyway, she had gotten used to Chu Chenfeng's closeness recently and she didn't dislike it. On the contrary, she quite enjoyed it.

"Hey, then tell me, should I cooperate with Duanmu Zijuan? In fact, he could have cooperated with you. Brother Lin's business is so big, wouldn't it be better to cooperate with you?"

Chu Chenfeng shook his head. "He is a smart man. He won't look for me. On the contrary, it might be more appropriate to look for you."

"why?"

Chu Chenfeng tapped her forehead lightly and said, "Think for yourself."

Li Mulan had no time to think about these things at the moment. She was getting lazier and lazier. With Chu Chenfeng around, she didn't even want to use her brain.

"Then just tell me, should I cooperate with him?"

Chu Chenfeng tapped her forehead and said helplessly, "Okay, at least in the next few years, there will be no problem. As for the future, we'll talk about it later."

Li Mulan immediately smiled and said, "Oh, you said so. Then I'll let Little Grasshopper contact him?"

"Well, the little grasshopper is smart. I feel relieved."

"Hehe, you are my man, follow me."

"Yes, yes, whatever you want."

Chu Chenfeng hugged his little wife contentedly. Thinking of what Chu Jie had said to him in the palace today, he suddenly felt depressed.

"Uncle, I want to give the teacher a holiday recently."

Chu Chenfeng frowned. Li Xun? What happened to him?

"Why?"

"I heard that the teacher's wife is pregnant. He has lost his appetite recently, and it seems to be quite serious. The teacher is a little absent-minded. He has forgotten what he taught yesterday."

"Then you might as well ask the imperial physician to come over. It might be more effective."

Chu Jie nodded, "That's true, I'll ask the imperial physician to take a look tomorrow."

"kindness."

Then Chu Jie looked at Chu Chenfeng steadily without saying anything, but his brows were furrowed, as if he had some unsolvable trouble.

"Anything else?"

Chu Jie sighed, "Uncle, the teacher came later than you."

Chu Chenfeng was confused by these words. What did this mean?

Seeing Chu Chenfeng unable to react, Chu Jie became even more depressed, "Teacher got married later than you, the emperor's uncle, and already has a child, so when can you give me a sister?"
