Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

The hurt caused by words has no effect on the person in front of you.

So Xia Fang tried again, rushing over, ready to make a move.

Before Xia Fang could even get close, Lin Qingzhi pressed a dagger against her chest.

The dagger was very sharp, successfully pinning Xia Fang to the spot.

"Madam Xia, don't go forward! This dagger will draw blood."

Zhong Tian, ​​who had been somewhat lost in thought, immediately became alert. She thought this was just an ordinary meeting, but little did she know that this Lin Qingzhi had prepared a dagger.

"I always like to give it my all when I do things!"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Xia Fang's face. "...Put it down, and I won't do anything."

Lin Qingzhi didn't move. Only after seeing Xia Fang obediently sit down on the table did Lin Qingzhi put away the knife and play with it in his hand: "Look, this little thing has made our atmosphere harmonious, without having to waste so much breath."

Xia Fang had unspeakable suffering.

Lin Qingzhi also sat down in a chair and poured himself a cup of tea. He slowly took a sip and said, "The reason I'm here today is to tell you that I didn't break your windows! Don't try to frame me."

"I believe business is a life-or-death battlefield where everyone relies on their own abilities, but I won't push people to the brink, because people will retaliate. If you find out it was me who did it, Madam Xia, what will you do?"

Xia Fang sneered, "Of course I'll smash yours too!"

"So I won't do something so stupid! But this time I will seize the opportunity to expand. I've taken your orders. It's a golden opportunity. If you don't seize it, you'll suffer the consequences. If you don't act when the time is right, you'll suffer the consequences."

Lin Qingzhi slammed the dagger in his hand onto the table: "The grievances have their source, and the debts have their debtors. Don't cause me any trouble, or I'll get very annoyed!"

"Waiter!" The waiter rushed over immediately. "Bring over your best dishes, so we can get to know each other formally. Please take care of us in the future."

Xia Fang stood up to leave.

Zhongtian sat down: "Manager, if someone is treating us, we might as well eat it."

Xia Fang clearly didn't enjoy the meal, while Zhong Tian thought the food was quite good. Lin Qingzhi's attitude was clear: she wasn't the one who did it. Zhong Tian believed her to a large extent and could rule her out for now. He would have to investigate further elsewhere.

Xia Fang stormed out of the restaurant.

Nakata was preparing to buy some items on the street, as her new house still had many shortages.

Suddenly, she saw Xia Wen come out of the pawn shop. She looked around nervously.

Zhongtian knew without guessing that Xia Wen was definitely out of money, as ruining a business always cost a lot of money.

She is a very vengeful person.

Xia Wen's actions have left Xia Jin'an with psychological trauma, so naturally she wants to get revenge.

But how to get revenge? She had a general plan in mind, but she needed someone's help.

.......

Xia Wen has been quite annoyed lately. Yu Yijin is really angry. He has said a lot of nice things to her these days, but he hasn't been able to calm her down. So, he can't lend her any money.

Magistrate Yu doted on his son, and before Xia Wen got married, he gave Yu Yijin several shops to make money. When Xia Wen was short of money, he would borrow money from Yu Yijin. Although Yu Yijin would complain a little, it was always borrowed.

This time, Yu Yijin turned and left with a stern face.

She stood there, her face constantly drawn to the gazes of those around her. She had no choice but to pretend nothing was amiss and leave, secretly thinking to herself, "That bitch, once he's in the house, all the money will be hers."

She could tolerate this humiliation for the time being, but she couldn't bear the brothel madam's threat that if she didn't pay back the money, she would never see her beloved again.

She had no choice but to secretly take things out of the mansion and sell them. Her room was already bare, and if she sold them all, she wouldn't even have a bed to sleep in.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her arm. It was a woman with a friendly smile who said mysteriously, "Miss, there's a way to make money quickly."

……

Xia Wen's life was not easy, and Xia Fang's life was equally difficult. These past few days, the Xia family had run out of glass, which allowed the glass shop across the street to take advantage of them. She was so anxious that she developed sores on the corners of her mouth.

However, the problem was quickly resolved. The person in question was Ding Yucheng's older sister.

Ever since Ding Yucheng married into the Xia family, her eldest sister, Ding Yu'an, has been associated with the Xie family, traveling with the Xia family's fleet.

While in Jiangnan, I discovered that a certain type of fabric has recently become very popular there.

This fabric is called "Luminous Silk Cotton," as thin as a cicada's wing, shimmering with tiny lights in the sunlight, making you feel as if you're walking on lotus blossoms.

Nakata thought that with winter approaching, these fabrics would have no market, but to his surprise, they quickly became a hit.

Ding Yu'an did not take credit, but instead praised his younger brother Ding Yu'an highly. "I originally just wanted to send some things to Yu Cheng as gifts, but as soon as the things were in Yu Cheng's hands, he immediately wrote to me to tell me that I must send them back."

"Most importantly, we must sign an agreement with the seller for exclusive operation! We can no longer sell to other businesses in our city like glass."

Zhongtian looked at Ding Yucheng with some surprise; Ding Yucheng did indeed have a good business sense.

His face flushed slightly, as if he was quite embarrassed by the praise. "I am just a man with a short-sighted view. I just think this fabric is quite gorgeous. Men love beauty, so I thought someone would buy it."

Xia Fang clearly didn't think that way. She looked at Ding Yucheng as if he were a precious treasure. She squeezed Ding Yucheng's hand and her eyes were full of tenderness: "Marrying you is my blessing!"

Ding Yucheng lowered his head somewhat shyly, but his eyes remained extremely calm.

Unable to bear the cloying atmosphere, Nakata stepped outside. Little did she know, someone was thinking of her at that very moment.

Xia Muning was carefully counting the inventory in the warehouse. All the gifts he had received from his parents, his brother, and the government since he was a child were piled up here.

The servant took a booklet; everything had already been cataloged.

Xia Muning looked closely. If she had angered Zhong Tian, ​​she would have to prepare an expensive gift and personally apologize.

Shi Shu cautiously said from the side, "Miss Xia Wen was wandering around here a few days ago, but I chased her away. She hasn't come over these days."

Xia Muning seemed somewhat distracted by this.

Xia Wen, that lecherous devil, is like a bloodsucker, sucking blood from the massive body of the Xia family. Xia Muning loathes her, but she carries the blood of the Xia family, leaving him helpless.

He was now only thinking that the luminous pearl was too ostentatious, and the calligraphy and painting too perfunctory. He felt a little regretful that, not serving Zhongtian by her side, he never truly understood her preferences!

Since Shishu brought it up, I casually asked, "What happened?"

Shi Shu whispered, "Someone recently borrowed a large sum of money from Miss Xia Wen."

"Oh, who is it?" Xia Muning was intrigued. "Besides that idiot Yu Yijin, who else would lend her money?"

"...This matter seems to be related to Lady Zhong."

Xia Muning paused, holding the booklet, then smiled and said, "Shishu, I've thought of a gift. She'll definitely like this!"
