He Yang, wearing witch-colored lipstick, said seriously, "No! Setting up a stall in front of your brothel will damage our reputation. We're doing legitimate business. Don't give us such a bad idea. Your place is not a good place at all."

He is a gentleman. Although he was a bit unruly and idle in the past, he has never been to places where people indulge in debauchery and has no desire for them.

Not to mention indulging in it.

After hearing this, the brothel girl's face turned ugly. "You guys don't have a good reputation to begin with, and I only attract customers through my own ability. I haven't stolen or robbed anyone. You old Black Mountain witch, stop talking nonsense and get out of here."

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Yu Zhizhi had to step out to smooth things over. "Girl, don't be angry. Thank you for taking care of my business and bringing so many sisters here. I'll give you a lipstick in a man-attracting color later. I hope your business will get better and better."

After the prostitute got the advantage, she glared at He Yang and said, "You are so sweet-mouthed and know how to talk."

He Yang cursed inwardly: "You are the Black Mountain Old Witch. I should give you a witch-colored lipstick to cut off your peach blossoms and see how you can pimp."

After seeing off several waves of customers, when Liu Xuanyi left, Yu Zhizhi gave her a bottle of rose essential oil, and originally didn't intend to charge her for the lipstick.

But Liu Xuanyi refused, "I'll take the rose essential oil, but I want money for the lipstick."

Seeing how determined she was, Yu Zhizhi said nothing more.

"Xuanyi, thank you so much today! Without your help, we would not have been able to sell so much so quickly." Yu Zhizhi said, holding Liu Xuanyi's hand.

"Zhizhi, we're friends, no need to be so polite. I'm very happy to meet such an interesting friend like you. If you're too busy in the future, remember to call me."

The two smiled at each other, and their friendship was sublimated at this moment.

In the evening, Yu Zhizhi and her friends finally sold out all the 500 lipsticks and more than 100 bottles of essential oils they brought today.

This was the highest daily income he had ever made since he set up the stall. He Yang was overjoyed as he looked at the silver in the ceramic jar.

A satisfied smile lit up his face.

It seems that I won’t have to ask my family for money anymore.

The next day.

As soon as the time of Si arrived, Yu Zhizhi and the other two happily pushed the wooden cart and started to rush to the door of Xu Ji Liquor Shop on Jinghe Street.

However, along the way, I found something wrong.

Many shops on the street were closed, making it look particularly deserted. The streets, which were usually bustling with activity, were now unusually quiet, with only a few pedestrians on the road.

Yu Zhizhi muttered to herself: Did something happen?

According to common sense, all shops should be open for business at this time, but why are the streets so deserted today?

Yu Zhizhi was very confused. She immediately stopped an elderly man passing by and asked, "Uncle, do you know why the streets are so deserted today?"

The old man stopped and looked at Yu Zhizhi and said, "Girls, didn't you see the notice posted this morning?"

Yu Zhizhi, He Yang and Xiao Tao looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't see it.

"Last night, the owner of another liquor store on Jinghe Street was murdered. He was found dead in the liquor storage area in the backyard of the store. The owner's death was horrific. I advise you not to go towards Jinghe Street. It's dangerous."

After hearing this, He Yang started to get scared. He grabbed Yu Zhizhi's sleeve tightly and said nervously, "Boss, what's more important, our lives or our money?"

What he meant couldn't be more obvious.

If Yu Zhizhi said that life was more important, they would immediately turn back and give up going to Jinghe Street.

But if money is important, they have no choice but to grit their teeth and move on.

At this moment, Yu Zhizhi was very conflicted.

If I don't set up a stall today, I will definitely not be able to complete the task issued by the bad system, which means I will lose the opportunity to get the panacea reward.

This made her feel extremely unwilling and helpless.

The location of the stall was already weird enough, and to make things more difficult for her, she had to do this.

Oh, how unlucky she is!

Finally, after some thought, Yu Zhizhi said firmly to He Yang, "Life is important, and money is important too. You and Xiaotao go back first, and I'll go set up the stall alone."

Since she has already promised the Sixth Prince, she should try her best to complete the task, even if she may face some difficulties and challenges.

Besides, it was still broad daylight, and she didn't believe that the murderer would come out so brazenly to continue committing crimes.

He Yang didn't want to be a coward. He looked at Yu Zhizhi firmly and said, "Boss, don't even think about abandoning me. We agreed to share the good and the bad together."

"Although I am a little scared, as long as you are by my side, I can still hold on."

Xiao Tao also nodded in agreement: "Mr. He is right, we must advance and retreat together."

Yu Zhizhi was very moved after hearing this.

"Okay! We'll just adapt to the situation later. If there really is no business to do and no one is out shopping, we'll go back."

The two responded in unison: "Okay."

An hour later.

The sun has risen high, and the sunlight shines on the streets, reflecting a dazzling light.

They only made a few deals at this stall, and they were all repeat customers.

At this time, He Yang was sitting in front of the stall bored, fingering the garlic hanging around his neck.

Yu Zhizhi lowered her head and looked at the pile of lipsticks, her mind beginning to go blank.

When she was considering whether to go to other streets to solicit business, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in front of her.

Zhao Yunjin swiftly jumped off his horse and walked quickly to the stall. He looked directly at her, his voice cold yet with a hint of concern: "Why are you still setting up a stall here? Go back!"

He heard that there were three fearless people on Jinghe Street who dared to set up a stall in front of Xuji Liquor Shop.

Later, Zhao Er came back from patrol and reported to him. Only then did he realize that the three fools who valued money over their lives were Yu Zhizhi and others.

Yu Zhizhi was a little surprised.

How come he is here?

Could it be that he is here to investigate the case?

With him around, she felt much more at ease.

Yu Zhizhi looked at Zhao Yunjin and replied softly, "Sixth Prince, I want to hold on a little longer."

Zhao Yunjin frowned, rubbing his brows with his fingers, and said sternly, "Don't you know where this is? Are you trying to save your life?"

Yu Zhizhi lowered her head, clasped her hands tightly together, and responded in a slightly low voice:

"I know, but I promised you before that I would help you get rid of the scar on your face as soon as possible. As long as this stall is successful, the matter will be settled, so I think..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhao Yunjin.

He looked at Yu Zhizhi deeply, then said gently, "I can wait. You don't have to rush. Now, be obedient and take them both back."
