I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

The three men agreed and then turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, Yu Donglei's face contorted in a grimace, looking extremely unpleasant.

Another failure! And this time, it was Pei Yan who showed up.

Why is it always like this?

She felt resentful and wanted to resist, but the thought vanished the next second.

Pei Yan suddenly threw out the black gold dagger in his hand and said coldly.

"Get out of here now, or I'll hang you on the city wall for all to see!"

His words were like the voice of hell, chilling everyone to the bone.

Yu Donglei knew that she had almost died from that dark gold dagger just moments before.

If he hadn't shown mercy, she would likely be dead.

Despite her reluctance, she still chose to leave, and with the help of her maid, she boarded the arriving carriage.

Fang Xiaoxiao was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and her complexion returned to normal.

"Phew, that was close! This woman is insane!"

Pei Yan didn't reply. Instead, he sat leisurely in the rocking chair, enjoying this moment of comfort.

At this moment, Li Renyi, who had finally escaped the clutches of the Mei Niang and Xiao Jiao sisters, came to his wife with a big smile and hiccups.

"Hiccup~ My wife, let me tell you, I finally closed a big deal today!"

"Do you still have the nerve to come back?"

"Oh, Brother Pei Yan, what are you doing here? You're right, I was almost too ashamed to come back and see my wife!"

Li Renyi looked at Pei Yan and said drunkenly.

Pei Yan glanced at the other person with disdain, stood up abruptly, and left without looking back.

Fang Xiaoxiao was completely bewildered, thinking to herself, "Isn't this guy incredibly rude? What does he think this place is, a toilet? Coming and going as he pleases, he's not a gentleman at all."

Half a day passed.

Li Renyi leaned against the corner of the brothel wall and had a good sleep before slowly waking up.

The first thing he said when he woke up was...

“My wife, I just had a dream. I think I dreamt of Brother Pei Yan. He was sitting in this rocking chair right here with you.”

"But strangely enough, in my dream his face looked extremely ugly, like he was about to eat me up."

"!"

Fang Xiaoxiao was tidying up the cloth and medicine pots on the stall in front of her.

She glared at the other person with displeasure and complained.

"You'll drink yourself to death! I asked you to do something, but instead you're out drinking and carousing. You must have spent a lot of money this time!"

Li Renyi chuckled and said that he hadn't spent a single penny, and had even received a piece of jewelry inlaid with a dragon and phoenix design as a gift from the two top courtesans.

Fang Xiaoxiao snatched the jade pendant from his pocket. She had originally intended to scold him, but she was immediately drawn to the jade pendant in his hand.

"Great, a top-quality ancient jade. If only it could be brought back to the modern world, it would be worth at least seven or eight million."

She murmured a few words, then turned her head and patted her husband.

"Next time you go, remember one principle: accept whatever comes your way. Just take whatever they offer. After all, money is nothing more than jewelry to those women in brothels."

Li Renyi nodded in agreement as if he understood, but his mind was already wandering far away. He began to recall the mistakes he had made while drunk.

He glanced sideways at his wife, then smiled and volunteered to do the hard labor.

As for Fang Xiaoxiao, she wasn't angry at all when she got up. After all, it was a business transaction between the two parties, and she couldn't easily break her promise.

As the sun sets, the dawn and dusk are as beautiful as a fairy.

Li Renyi led the horse, struggling to walk home.

If he weren't a fast walker, he probably wouldn't have made it home even after dark.

At this moment, the fat cook also came to the courtyard and distributed the food he had prepared to the brothers.

Fang Xiaoxiao had just arrived at her doorstep when she suddenly discovered that apart from the courtyard gate, the entire house had been razed to the ground.

Thankfully, during this period, everyone can move around freely and stay wherever they want.

Long Jinyan was the first to refuse to raise his hand, saying that Widow Wang next door wanted to ask him how to learn to write her own name tonight.

Fang Xiaoxiao almost burst out laughing like a pig when she heard this.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a lame excuse.

"Go on, go on. We'll all return here to meet up in seven days."

After getting rid of the annoying Long Jinyan, she finally had a heart-to-heart talk with the fat chef.

When I learned about the house demolition...

Fang Xiaoxiao chatted with the others for a while longer before deciding to rest on the spot next to them.

The night passed.

Last night, she, Li Renyi, and Murong helped make pills together.

Because of this assembly line, it's not funny at all what the other person wants to know.

The next morning.

It was still Li Renyi and Fang Xiaoxiao.

Riding on horseback, with its speed increasing, they arrived at the brothel in less than half an hour.

Today's task is very simple: just deliver the pills to Meiniang, cash on delivery.

Li Renyi was holding a small box filled with a lot of silver coins in his arms.

Upon seeing the silver, Fang Xiaoxiao's expressive eyes blinked and stared intently at the small box.

"Put the box in the bamboo basket first!"

Upon hearing this, Li Renyi quickly went to his wife and placed the box into her bamboo basket.

"My wife, let's go."

Fang Xiaoxiao looked at the tall horse in front of her, nodded, and then, with a pull from the other party, she leaped up and sat on the black horse.

She hadn't been back to Wenyue Pavilion for a long time and wondered how Zhu Zhuanggui was doing.

The two arrived at the restaurant together.

Fang Xiaoxiao dismounted first and quickly went to the main hall. She searched for a long time but could not find Manager Zhu.

She had no choice but to ask the waiter and then the woman behind the counter about Manager Zhu's whereabouts.

The woman seemed to be recalling something before she spoke slowly.

"Half an hour ago, I noticed that the shopkeeper looked unusually pale, as if something had happened at his pharmacy, so I left!"

"That's all? Is that all?"

"Nothing."

"Row."

Fang Xiaoxiao didn't linger. Before Li Renyi arrived, she had already ridden her tall black horse directly towards the pharmacy.

When Li Renyi realized what was happening, he hadn't even mounted his horse yet, so how could he be running so fast?

"Hey, my wife, how could you leave me like this? I haven't even mounted my horse yet!"

Unfortunately, no matter how much he shouted, it was to no avail.

Fang Xiaoxiao came alone to take over the Huichuntang, which was established by Zhu Wen.

Before she even reached the shop, it was already packed with people.

It was noisy there, and he walked forward out of curiosity.

Fang Xiaoxiao squeezed through the crowd and overheard people saying that this was because Huichuntang was selling fake medicine and had caused great harm to people.
