After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

On March 3rd, Huizhen came to Jinchu's house early and brought some not-so-good news.

After being confused for more than half a month, when Sun went to visit again, she found that Jinchu and his sister had left Qingxi Village at some point.

That's pretty cool!

Thinking of Mr. Zhao's repeated instructions to her through her cousin to keep an eye on Jin Yatou, Sun felt a chill in her heart.

Jin Yatou, the little god of wealth, was lost right under her nose. Not to mention the silver and money promised to her later, she couldn't bear the revenge of Mr. Zhao in his anger.

Sun was so anxious that her face turned red and she was at a loss. From then on, she wanted to run to the small courtyard where Jinchu used to live a hundred times a day, hoping that the brother and sister would go out for a walk and come back soon.

Unfortunately, she waited day and night for four or five days, but still did not see any sign of the brother and sister.

Only Sun herself knew about Mr. Zhao's dirty thoughts about Jinchu, and the agreement between her and Mr. Zhao was made in private, away from the two men in the family.

Now that Jinchu and his sister are gone, it seems that they have little to do with her Sun family.

Besides, Jinchu also paid her one-year rent in advance. According to Sun's style, she would be eager to take advantage of the situation by collecting the money but not living in the house. How could she care about the whereabouts of Jinchu and his sister?

If she suddenly returned home and told the two men at home that she wanted to find Jinchu, she would naturally have to mention the reason why she wanted to find Jinchu. At that time, her private agreement with Mr. Zhao would definitely not be hidden.

Although Fudan's father usually didn't care about things, if he discovered that she had such a heartless intention, he would definitely not allow it. If he really got angry, Sun knew that she would not suffer any harm. Therefore, she did not dare to tell her family about the disappearance of Jinchu and her brother, and could only wait in fear every day.

A week passed in agony. Feeling helpless, Sun had no choice but to go to Huizhen's house and inquire about the whereabouts of Jinchu and his sister under the pretext of concern.

Hui Zhenniang, who had been prepared for this, immediately used Jinchu's uncle as an excuse with a smile, saying that Jinchu had taken Zhaoer to see his uncle and might be back after a while.

Sun hurriedly asked where Jinchu's uncle was. Huizhenniang spread her hands and smiled, "My family doesn't know either. After all, it's Jin'er's private matter, so we can't ask too much. But don't worry, sister-in-law. Jin'er has always been a calculating girl. Since she dared to take Zhao'er to find her uncle, it's not right for us outsiders to stop them from connecting with their family, right?"

These words, neither soft nor harsh, left Sun speechless. In the end, she could only say, "Jin girl has been getting along well with your Huizhen recently. If you have any news from Jin girl, please remember to tell me. After all, she has lived with me for three years, and I miss her and her brother!"

After saying this, Sun patted her chest pretending to be worried, and deliberately made an expression of loving concern.

Thinking of Sun's hypocritical behavior at the time, Huizhen curled her lips in disdain: "Later, my mother just said a few more words to deal with her and sent her away."

The fact that Sun discovered her disappearance so late was a great gain for Jinchu. Now that she had rented a house and Zhao'er Academy was settled, Jinchu would not care much even if Sun discovered her again.

But the longer it could be delayed, the better. Therefore, Jinchu couldn't help but remind Huizhen: "If you come to the capital again in the future, be careful on the road. Sun knows that we have a close relationship. If she follows you here with the intention of stalking you, I will have to deal with it again..."

"Don't worry, Jin'er. My parents told me that you and Zhao'er finally managed to break free from her, so I have to be extremely careful not to let her follow my trail and find your family. Aunt Sun is so temperamental, if she really comes looking for you, she'll get you into trouble again!"

Huizhen paused and smiled slyly, "I came here today under the pretext of delivering clothes to my brother. Even Uncle Zhou didn't know I was looking for you. After getting off the car, I waited until everyone else had left before heading towards your house."

"Oh! Today I realized that our Miss Huizhen is actually very meticulous!" Jin Chu looked at Huizhen, who had a smug look on her face, and flattered her exaggeratedly.

"Hmph, there are so many advantages of my sister that you, a little girl, haven't noticed yet!" Huizhen raised her head and smiled proudly.

The two of them joked around for a few more times before getting down to business.

Because Jinchu had told Huizhen before that he wanted to make some new perfume powder to sell, Huizhen, who was very curious and at the age where she loved beauty, naturally agreed.

Jinchu brought up this matter seriously today. Since Huizhen is also involved, why not just invest together and try it together. If it really works, the profits can be shared equally.

Huizhen, however, shook her head and refused: "Jin'er, I know you've always been a kind girl, but this perfume and powder thing was all your idea. The most I can do is help you with the production. So, as for the investment, you and I will each put in half. Once your perfume and powder are profitable, you will get 80% of the profit and I will get 20%."

"If this incense powder can really be made, Huizhen, you may have to live with us permanently in the future. You will have a lot of hard work to do there! As the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly. Since we are planning a long-term cooperation, we should naturally talk business. I will provide the recipe, and you will help me make it. In the future, I will take 70% of the profits, and you will take 30%..."

"That won't do. Jin'er, you're already very generous by taking 20%. If I take 30%, it would be too much of an insult to you!" Huizhen interrupted Jinchu and waved her hands repeatedly.

Jin Chu pretended to be angry: "What nonsense are you talking about! Am I the kind of person who will be bullied? Today I said I would give you 30%, and it is 30%. But this 30% is not easy to take. In the future, you will be at my disposal. Can you do it?"

"I'm at your service!"

Seeing Jinchu's sincerity, Huizhen stopped refusing and secretly made up her mind that if Jin'er's perfume powder could really be made, she would double her efforts so that Jin'er could have an easier time and she would feel more at ease with the 30% profit.

After the discussion, the two girls took the silver and headed towards the pharmacy on the main street of the city.

According to the written list, Jin Chu purchased pearls suitable for grinding into powder, as well as related Chinese medicinal ingredients, spending a total of ten taels of silver.

This is equivalent to Jinchu and Zhaoer’s daily consumption for two years!

"Jin'er, most of my private savings have been spent on these ingredients! Now it's time for you to show off your skills!"

Huizhen's face showed both excitement and nervousness. This was the first time in her life that she had invested such a high cost in a business. Although she had spent some money before, it was basically just hairpins, rings, and jewelry commonly used by women. If she didn't trust Jinchu, she would definitely not dare to invest so much.
