I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

"what is that?"

Zhang Ye took it and felt it was heavy in his hand, as if it held a life...

"Some medicine to promote blood circulation. Don't worry, it's not fatal."

Wen Qingzhi tried to reassure him, "The Fan family just had a conflict with the guys in my shop. If everyone in the mansion were to die now, it would be too obvious."

She smiled and said, "Go ahead, come back and have dinner together."

Zhang Ye hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

After Zhang Ye left, Wen Qingzhi continued to check the account books. After finishing the account books, she calculated how much silver she had left. After the calculation, she felt dizzy...

If she only managed the expenses of the Marquisate, she could have lived for many years. But now she had to take care of so many villagers in the small mountain village, and the little money she had would not last long.

The Yuan family has been providing her with food and drink for so many years, she must get it back as soon as possible.

In the evening, Mrs. Li prepared a sumptuous dinner and waited for Feng Yunxiao's men to test for poison.

When Wen Qingzhi arrived, the examination had just been completed.

Feng Yunxiao looked up at her and said, "Miss Wen never comes to visit you unless it's important. Why did you prepare so much food tonight?"

He glanced at the delicious dishes on the table and thought to himself: Humph, they eat better than me.

"Indeed, I have something to ask of the Regent."

She spoke directly, glancing at the men stationed around the courtyard, "Can these people be trusted?"

"What do you want to say?"

Feng Junxiao was sitting there, "They all walked out of the gates of hell with me."

Hearing this, Wen Qingzhi nodded secretly and placed the account books of the shop over the years in front of Feng Yunxiao. "My ancestors made many military achievements and accumulated a lot of fertile land. My parents used the output of these fertile lands to open seven grain and oil shops. These are all official businesses."

"When my parents were alive, all the food from these shops was given priority to the army. Over the years, my parents have been the ones who have provided money and manpower for the wars. Even after they passed away, this tradition has not changed."

"But recently, when I was checking the accounts, I found that the Yuan family and their relatives have been eating and drinking at my house all these years."

"and then?"

"I asked someone to calculate the exact amount, convert it into silver, and prepare to collect the debt."

"What does it have to do with this king?"

After learning the purpose of her visit, Feng Yunxiao ate the dishes with elegance in every move.

"The quantity is huge. If I were alone, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get it back. So I'd like to ask for your introduction and do a business deal with the Emperor."

"clatter"

Feng Yunxiao stopped picking up the food, looked up at her, and said nothing.

"The Yuan family's dominance in the military is not a good thing. I am willing to be the sword that strikes the Yuan family."

She spoke sincerely, and if Feng Junxiao didn't know her character, he would have almost believed it.

"This matter is of great importance. You can't just ask for the debt back."

He put down his chopsticks and continued to look through the account book, and he was also shocked.

When he turned to a certain page, Wen Qingzhi pointed at it with her fingertips.

The rouge-colored cardamom makes her slender and white fingers look so slender and tender that one can't help but want to touch them.

"Starting from this page, the Yuan family's monthly expenditure on grain and oil will triple that of previous months."

She stared straight at Feng Yunxiao, her big eyes speaking. "It's been like this ever since then... There are only a few people in the Yuan Mansion. What do you think... he needs so much food and oil for?"

Wen Qingzhi has beautiful lips, typical smiling lips. Even when she is not smiling, the corners of her lips will be slightly upturned.

Feng Junxiao's eyes couldn't help but fall on her fuller lips. He watched them opening and closing, and although he heard what she said, his attention was distracted.

"so what?"

After a while, Feng Junxiao withdrew his gaze, asked someone to change a pair of chopsticks, and started picking up the food again.

"First, I don't want to feed my family's food to dogs. Second, I am from Beiming and I am loyal to Your Majesty. I am willing to donate two-thirds of the income from these shops to the national treasury."

She said seriously, "I have no power or official position, so I cannot see the emperor. That's why I would like to ask for your introduction."

"Then?"

"after?"

Wen Qingzhi was stunned. She withdrew her hand and sat down. "I will discuss the next matter with the emperor."

Feng Junxiao smiled, his expression rather amused, "For me, you just throw it away after using it?"

"..."

Wen Qingzhi paused, thought for a moment, and said, "Of course, you won't be left out. I know you don't value ordinary things, so I will prepare ten antidotes for the venom of the five-step snake for you."

Feng Junxiao would not lack ordinary items, so she could only give him rare things.

He had personally used the antidote for the five-step snake venom, and it had worked wonders. Not only him, but even across all the countries on this continent, this antidote was a rare commodity.

Feng Yunxiao paused for a few seconds with his chopsticks, then started moving again, becoming silent and taciturn.

Indeed, Wen Qingzhi's offer was very tempting.

She knows how to negotiate.

After a while, Feng Yunxiao took the third bite of the braised fish and then slowly said, "One hundred."

"what?"

Wen Qingzhi almost thought there was something wrong with her ears, "One hundred?"

I laughed in anger, "You think these are jelly beans?"

"Then no need to talk."

"…Fifty."

"Ok?"

Feng Junxiao looked over and said with a half-smile, "Miss Wen is quite good at bargaining."

She only discovered later that the drugs in [Peony Evil] could regenerate. But she didn't know how long they could regenerate, and she didn't know if mixing so many antidotes at once would trigger some unknown chain reaction...

After hesitating for a long time, she held up three fingers and said, "Thirty, at most."

"You know how precious these medicines are. I don't have too many..."

"Then ask the immortal for it."

Feng Junxiao didn't believe what he said and almost laughed out loud.

Wen Qingzhi saw this action.

She understood that some people were not so easy to fool.

so what?

What she used was so far beyond the development of this era that they had no way to explain it, so they could only believe it.

Feng Junxiao pretended to hesitate, thinking of lowering the price again, but Wen Qingzhi suddenly stood up and said unhappily, "Since the Regent doesn't want to help, I won't be difficult for you."

"Mrs. Li, please remove all the dishes."

Ah!

You don't help her with the work, but you still want to eat her food?

How can it be so cheap?

Mrs. Li made a "hmm" sound, and because of the situation, she chose to listen to her daughter.

She stepped forward cautiously, with an awkward smile on her face, "Regent, Regent... please be magnanimous, please don't make things difficult for me..."

"Wen, Qing, Zhi!"

Feng Junxiao swept the plate to the ground with a big wave of his hand and stood up angrily, "Is it because I am too kind to you that you don't know your own identity?"

Be nice to her?

What good?

The favor of giving her a piece of clothing had long been repaid.

Otherwise, did he think that just because of his status as regent, he was qualified to use the serum to save him?
