The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 25 Poison Solution
After deciding on the location for the art gallery, Xiao Yibai suggested taking Mu Xiyue to see it in person that afternoon. Mu Xiyue also felt that after seeing it, she would have a better understanding of the interior renovation and decoration of the house.
Ji Yun finally brought the antidote. Mu Xiyue took it and drank it directly without any doubt.
Xiao Yibai said he wanted to take Mu Xiyue to the teahouse on Nan'an Street, so they didn't waste any time. The two of them got up and walked out. Ji Yun had nothing to do anyway, so he followed them.
Mu Xiyue went out today without Xiaotao, so Xiao Yibai didn't want to ride in the same carriage with her, fearing that it would damage her reputation. In fact, Mu Xiyue didn't care. She didn't care about this kind of reputation, but since Xiao Yibai prepared a separate carriage for her, she would accept his kindness.
Two carriages arrived at the teahouse on Nan'an Street, one after the other. The name of the teahouse was Xie Yi Jiao, which was an interesting name. There were more than one teahouse on this street, but this one was the largest of them all.
Mu Xiyue followed him into the teahouse. The first floor was the lobby, and the second floor was all private rooms, similar to the layout of other teahouses and restaurants. However, Mu Xiyue felt that this place didn't need any major changes because, although the second floor was all private rooms, its layout was different from other teahouses and restaurants. The center of the second floor was a high ceiling, and the private rooms were built around it, meaning that each private room could see the area directly above the first floor from the high ceiling.
The more Mu Xiyue looked at it, the more she liked it. It was simply tailor-made for her art gallery.
Seeing that she enjoyed explaining things, Xiao Yibai said, "This teahouse was an auction house before I bought it. There used to be a half-meter-high auction platform on the first floor, but it was demolished after it was converted into a teahouse."
So that’s why. No wonder the layout here is like this. Very good!
The teahouse owner took the person to a private room and then left.
Mu Xiyue was very happy, "Are you sure you can renovate this teahouse?"
Xiao Yibai chuckled and nodded, "Sure, this teahouse isn't very profitable to begin with. If you think it's okay, I'll transfer the title deed to you now."
Mu Xiyue waved her hands hurriedly, "There's no need to change the title deed. If it's in my name, I might get bullied. To be honest, I originally just wanted to play in Shangjing for a few days and then go back to Yun'an, but seeing how prosperous Shangjing is, I know I have to develop here to make more money. Yun'an is just a small county town. If I can make two hundred taels a year by opening a shop, it's considered good. If I want to make more money, I need a backer. I have no power or influence there."
This was almost like saying that I was in Shangjing City just to borrow your influence. Xiao Yibai laughed softly after hearing this. "Well, the conditions over there are a bit worse. It would be too unfair for Miss Mu to stay there. Since Miss Mu doesn't want the deed, then we will split the profits 50-50."
Mu Xiyue thought about it and decided it was a good idea. No one would complain about having too much money, and having too much money wouldn't be too hot to handle. At worst, she could just help him a few more times if he needed her help in the future.
"Then I won't be polite with Your Highness. When I return, I'll write out the contract and plan for our cooperation. I'll come back to you in a few days. Please don't let me climb over the wall again. Your secret guards react too quickly, and I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt someone."
Ji Yun followed behind the two men and saw them talking and laughing. He felt that he should not have followed them out today. The two men obviously forgot that he was behind them.
After listening to the two people talk for so long, Ji Yun finally understood that the two people wanted to cooperate to open a shop. What kind of business was worthy of Prince Jin's cooperation?
Ji Yun thought so and asked, "Jinzhi, Miss Mu, what kind of business are you planning to do?"
Xiao Yibai didn't tell him, "You'll know when the business opens. Check Miss Mu's pulse again. Can the poison in her body be cured?"
Ji Yun nodded in agreement. It had been half an hour since Mu Xiyue took the antidote, and it should have taken full effect.
Jinzhi is Xiao Yibai's pen name. Ji Yun calls him Jinzhi in private. Mu Xiyue was a little curious when she heard this name.
Seeing Mu Xiyue's curious look, Xiao Yibai smiled and explained, "Jinzhi is my pen name. Miss Mu can call me Jinzhi."
In the countryside, most people were illiterate, so it was considered a good name, let alone a proper Chinese character. In her previous life, she had learned that ancient people had courtesy names in addition to given names. This was the first time Mu Xiyue had heard of a courtesy name. However, calling him by his courtesy name seemed too intimate, so she simply smiled and didn't agree.
After checking Mu Xiyue's pulse, Ji Yun smiled and said, "The poison has been resolved. Miss Mu is in good health and the poisoning was short, so it has basically no effect on her body."
Xiao Yibai was relieved when he confirmed that Mu Xiyue's poison was cured. "Miss Mu, what are you going to do?"
Mu Xiyue knew that he was asking about the matter of Mu Fengnian poisoning her.
"I must pretend that the poison hasn't been cured. If they knew that the poison was cured within a day of my arrival at your palace, they would know that you have an antidote for this poison, and they might even develop a more powerful poison."
Xiao Yibai naturally hoped that she would not reveal the fact that the poison had been cured, but he felt a little guilty for involving her in the fight between their royal brothers for no reason.
Mu Xiyue smiled cunningly, "But if they want to use me, they have to pay something. I can't do anything with Prince Rui for now, but I can collect some interest from Mu Fengnian. It would be boring to kill him all at once."
Xiao Yibai didn't ask her how she collected the interest. "Just let me know if you need me."
Mu Xiyue felt that something seemed to be wrong. Hey, he was calling himself "this king" all the time yesterday, but today he didn't seem to be calling himself "this king" anymore. Could it be that he considered himself a friend because they were going to work together?
It was almost dinner time when Mu Xiyue returned to the Marquis' Mansion. Xiaotao looked at her with a resentful face when she saw that the young lady had finally returned.
Mu Xiyue suddenly found it funny, "Don't be angry, I will definitely take you with me next time I go out."
"Miss, has Prince Jin found out what the poison is?"
Mu Xiyue told Xiaotao yesterday after she was poisoned, so that Xiaotao could be on guard and receive timely treatment if she was really poisoned.
Mu Xiyue told Xiaotao everything about the detoxification process, "So you can't let Mu Fengnian know that my poison has been cured."
Xiao Tao nodded and muttered with a pout, "Miss, this place is really too boring. It's better to be in our village. We can go up the mountain to hunt wild boars."
Although Mu Xiyue also likes the peaceful life in Mujia Village, she thinks it is easier to make money in Shangjing City.
And how could she tolerate Mu Fengnian's repeated plots against her? She would be unwilling to go back to Mu Village like this. If it weren't for the fact that he was the biological father of this body, Mu Xiyue would have sent him to hell.
However, Mu Xiyue secretly warned herself in her heart that if it happened again, she would definitely let him go down to accompany the original owner.
Mu Xiyue knew Xiaotao's personality and that she was also someone who couldn't sit still, so she told her that she was going to open an art gallery.
Xiaotao was very interested in the art gallery that Mu Xiyue mentioned. Mu Xiyue told her about her initial idea.
"Miss, why do you have so many ideas? Didn't you say that in the apocalypse, you killed zombies all day long?"
Mu Xiyue also missed the days before the apocalypse in her previous life. She had previously told Xiaotao about life in the five years after the apocalypse, but she had never mentioned the prosperous times before the apocalypse.
"I've only lived through the apocalypse for five years, but the prosperity before it was a million times greater than what's happening here. I'll tell you about it later. I'll start by writing out the plans for the art gallery."
