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

The woman bent down and hoisted Li Mubai, who was still pretending to be unconscious, onto her shoulder.

"Woo~"

Li Mubai suddenly felt a wave of discomfort in his abdomen, but reason told him that he had to endure it. The pain was temporary, and he just needed to get through it.

He kept reassuring himself internally.

The woman, carrying the person, burst into laughter. She looked around and finally fixed her gaze on the beautiful woman with delicate features.

"So you're Fang Xiaoxiao, the woman who married seven men?"

The reason the woman focused her attention on her was because she had heard many rumors about her.

While others sought husbands who were tall and robust, she did the opposite, choosing instead a pale-faced, frail scholar.

It's truly laughable, utterly ridiculous.

The woman withdrew her smile, her expression turning somewhat sarcastic as she spoke in a deep voice.

"I truly do not understand why you would choose such useless people as your husbands."

"However, now that I think about it, I still understand that you are nothing but a useless person, and trash should indeed be with trash."

Fang Xiaoxiao didn't care about what the other party said. As long as she didn't reply, she wouldn't have any conflict with them.

What she needs to do now is, of course, check out the new store.

The woman was annoyed that he remained silent.

"Hmph, are you mute? Why don't you answer my questions?"

The crowd around, who were initially disappointed due to losing money, turned their attention to the spectacle.

It seems that people enjoy watching a spectacle, regardless of the dynasty.

Fang Xiao felt powerless to complain, but remained silent.

The woman was about to ask again, but her sister stopped her and shook her head.

"Let's go, if we're even a fraction later, Mu Bai might be beyond saving."

They noticed that their idol's face had turned even paler, and large beads of sweat were forming on his forehead, fearing that his life was in danger.

The woman turned around and glanced at the person behind her. Seeing that the person was in a bad state, she had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​getting entangled with Fang Xiaoxiao and left with her people.

Everything was finally over, and Fang Xiaoxiao was quite satisfied with the final result.

She turned to look at her husband, only to see him whispering with Meiniang and a few others, so she had no choice but to speak.

"Let's go, we still have things to do. We'll have plenty of time to chat with you older sisters later."

"!"

Li Renyi, who was discussing with Meiniang the follow-up matters regarding the supply of brothels and new pills, heard his wife say this and quickly greeted the people in front of him before running to his wife.

He approached his wife and said with an awkward smile.

"My lady, please don't misunderstand. I was just discussing with Meiniang and the others about the supply of new products to the brothel."

"Oh...so how did your communication go?"

Fang Xiaoxin was a little surprised. She thought he was interested in the women because they were quite attractive and wanted to have a dirty deal with them.

Unexpectedly, her husband turned out to be quite sensible, and she realized she had misjudged him.

Li Renyi scratched the back of his head, looking smug, and said with a smile.

"That's settled then. Meiniang, Sister Yi, and I discussed it, and when we supply our new products to the brothel, in addition to paying us the price of the goods, they will also have to pay us ten coins for every bottle of pills sold."

"!"

This guy's got a good head on his shoulders; no wonder he's the son of a businessman.

Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes revealed a look of admiration.

She herself hadn't even considered how much money she could get.

"Ahem, well done. I promise you, when we make a lot of money, I'll give you an extra 10% of the profits."

"Oh, my wife, you're too kind. I'm not the kind of person who's greedy for money. Even if you don't share, I will still help you."

Li Renyi did not refuse the other party's kindness.

After they finished speaking, they went out together.

Wang, the richest man behind them, was looking at the God of Wealth and wanted to leave, so he quickly chased after the two.

"Madam Fang, don't wait for me. I haven't given Mr. Li the money he won yet. Please slow down, my health is failing me!"

He was obese, and walking was already difficult for him, let alone running to catch up with people.

Normally, unless there's something important, he rarely leaves his house, and even managing his shop business is handled by his children.

Fang Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks upon hearing the sound, turned around, and asked.

"Richest Man Wang, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Exhausted to the point of collapse, his face streaked with tears, Wang, the richest man, panted heavily for a long time before finally replying.

"Here's what happened: Just now, Master Li placed a bet of fifty-two taels of silver with me, betting that you, my lady, would win."

"That's true. We really couldn't understand why Master Li was so sure that you could win, my wife."

"Now it seems that the 'Shuidiao Getou' in Wenyue Pavilion was indeed written by you, my lady. Such a talented person is truly rare in this world."

He showered the person in front of him with compliments.

I must say, that flattery was really well done and made me feel good.

Fang Xiaoxiao was no exception. As a time traveler, she came to this ancient era to pretend to be a cultured person. She was not exactly fluent in poetry and prose, but she had at least received nine years of compulsory education, so it wasn't all for nothing.

She laughed jokingly.

"Mr. Wang is joking. I am just a woman. How could I dare to claim to be one of the rarest talents in the world? I can only say that I have some talent."

Be humble, otherwise you'll really feel ashamed. You copied two classic poems by Su Shi, and if you shamelessly claim that you are one of the best in the world, you'll truly become a shameless person.

She couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself.

Wang, the richest man, didn't take it seriously and continued to flatter him. Then he changed the subject and asked a question.

"Where are you headed, my lady? If you don't mind, you may come with me in the carriage."

"No need, no need. My wife and I will just take a look at the rouge shop next door."

"Oh... as far as I know, that rouge shop is going to be sold?"

"That's right, my wife has already taken over the place and is preparing to buy medicinal cuisine and pills."

Li Renyi looked arrogant, his eyes practically glued to his forehead.

As Fang Xiaoxiao's husband, he felt very proud.

Fang Xiaoxiao was too lazy to stop it; everyone would know about it sooner or later, so there was no need to hide it.

As for the richest man in front of us, it would be even better if we could cooperate with him.

She reached out and patted her husband's shoulder, looking at him with a reproachful expression.

"What's with that expression? Wang, the richest man, isn't an outsider. Don't act like we've done something extraordinary. Stop putting on that deadpan look and lower your head. You should learn to be humble."

What seemed like a lesson was actually a disguised way of praising himself.

Li Renyi knew what his wife meant, so he quickly lowered his head and said humbly.

"Please don't take offense, Mr. Wang. I was just a little too excited. Things have gotten out of hand."

"It's alright, it's alright. Young people should have this kind of arrogant spirit. Otherwise, how can they be called young people?"

"Haha, Wang, the richest man, has a really nice way of speaking."

"Now that you have made up your mind, my lady, I have something to discuss with you. I wonder if you have the time?"
