Marrying a royal playboy and becoming a glamorous matriarch

Looking at the eldest prince who had finally relented and turned back, Qin Ping'an felt a sense of triumph, but his eyes and brows were full of sincere emotion.

“Cousin, it’s good that you’re willing to come back. Your uncle misses you very much.”

The eldest prince had a firm grasp on the emperor's attitude.

He knew that if he gave in, everything could be wiped clean.

But at this moment, his eyes flickered, and there was a sense of helplessness in them. Finally, he sighed deeply.

"However, I cannot go back now; I must wait for the right opportunity."

Qin Ping'an dared not force him, after all, this was the only son of the Sage.

He agreed to the eldest prince's request.

The eldest prince turned to leave.

Qin Ping'an behind him asked calmly, "Is the word 'love' really that heavy? Is Wei Lanxin so hard for you to let go?"

The eldest prince glanced at him sideways and gave him a deep look.

"Don't you know how heavy it is? Go back and ask your wife."

Qin Ping'an looked embarrassed and touched the tip of his nose.

When he got back, he asked Wei Qingrou, "How much do you weigh?"

Wei Qingrou paused in her reading of the ledger, raised an eyebrow and said, "Less than a hundred catties? Are you trying to sell me because it's almost Chinese New Year?"

"Tch," Qin Ping'an said with a hint of skepticism, his gaze lingering on her slender waist and full breasts before finally clicking his tongue and laughing lightly.

"The word 'love' weighs only about a hundred pounds, yet it can overwhelm a man. That's quite strange."

"Where is it?"

Wei Qingrou immediately protested her innocence, her watery eyes full of accusation, "I have never suppressed you, it has always been you suppressing me."

“That makes sense,” Qin Ping’an’s dejected mood suddenly brightened, his eyes shining. “Shall we give it a try?”

This spoiled brat is about to act improperly again.

Wei Qingrou grabbed the ledger and tried to escape, but was immediately pulled into a long arm and roughly rubbed.

After a long, blissful ride, Qin Ping'an rubbed his waist, his face full of satisfaction, while deliberately feigning a wronged expression.

"It really crushed me. Love can destroy people, it's true."

Wei Qingrou was almost out of her mind, and was completely dazed. "If you insist on doing it this way, you can't blame me."

"Yes, yes, I want it, I want more."

After saying that, she lifted the brocade quilt and continued the rolling red waves.

After eating and drinking his fill, he returned to his sage-like state, embracing Wei Qingrou with a profound expression.

"What do you think the timing the Crown Prince is referring to?"

Wei Qingrou was exhausted and sleepy, but she said nonchalantly, "The timing is all just a bluff. It's just that you're temporarily too embarrassed to admit it, but you're not really in a desperate situation yet."

"Then let's continue to demolish roads and bridges, and let him go down this dark path."

Wei Qingrou yawned and said casually, "You'd better take it easy. They're father and son. Don't you know the saying 'don't let strangers separate family members'?"

As soon as she said those words, Wei Qingrou regretted it.

Yes, even strangers shouldn't interfere with family matters. She's just a married woman; why should she say so much?

She raised an eyebrow at Qin Ping'an, and seeing him deep in thought, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that she didn't get criticized. As a lowly subordinate, she shouldn't interfere in the conflicts between her direct supervisor and other senior leaders.

Since Qianyulou opened, it has been bustling with customers every day, its business is booming, and its reputation is growing.

Wei Lanxin always had a bright smile on her face, while the eldest prince always looked worried and distressed.

On the surface, Qianyu Tower was thriving, but it had never broken even and was instead pouring a lot of money into it every day.

The eldest prince looked at the accounts and was filled with worry.

Wei Lanxin smiled and moved closer to him, "We're out of money for groceries, when are you going to give me some?"

The eldest prince frowned. "We haven't even broken even yet, how can we possibly add more money into it?"

Wei Lanxin immediately objected, her voice filled with anger and reproach, "Xiao Yu, what do you mean by that? Don't you believe me?"

The eldest prince shook his head helplessly, "It's not that I don't believe you."

Wei Lanxin then smiled and said, "It's good that you trust me. Hurry up and give me the money. Look how booming our business is. Qianyulou will break even soon."

The eldest prince sighed, "Alright, I'll give it to you this afternoon."

The eldest prince went out for a while, and when he returned in the afternoon, he gave Wei Lanxin ten thousand taels of silver.

Wei Lanxin took the silver, then took the Crown Prince's arm and acted coquettishly, her smile bright and charming.

"Xiao Yu, don't worry, I'm sure I can make a lot of money. In the future, we can become successful people through our own efforts."

"it is good."

The eldest prince's eyes flickered, a hint of guilt flashing across them.

That sounds nice, but where does he get the money?

This ten thousand taels was just withdrawn from the prince's residence.

In just a few days, 30,000 taels of silver were spent, which made the head steward of the prince's residence sweat profusely. After seeing the eldest prince off, he took the account book and left.

Tofu shop.

Wei Qingrou was reviewing the accounts, while Qin Ping'an served tea and water, looking smug and arrogant.

"How did it go, Boss Wei? How much silver will you give me today?"

Qin Ping'an looked on with a face full of desire for praise, wishing he could wag his tail.

Today he booked fifty vegetarian meals for the tofu shop, earning five thousand taels, bringing his total earnings to ten thousand taels.

Even without calculating the accounts, Wei Qingrou knew that she would have to give him five thousand taels, which was extremely painful.

But the two had a prior contract and could not break their word, so she reluctantly took out five thousand taels of silver notes and stuffed them directly into his arms.

"Here, this is for you."

Then she turned around and went about her business. She felt heartbroken to even glance at the discarded banknotes, so she simply chose to ignore them.

Her mischievous and charming appearance made Qin Ping'an chuckle and couldn't help but pinch her fair and delicate face.

"You're really stingy. I've wasted my time kissing you."

Wei Qingrou wouldn't have it, and she frowned, feigning resentment.

"You're being ungrateful, sir. I didn't even ask you to contribute any capital; I'm giving you half as a thank you."

"Since you put it that way, then from now on, after deducting the cost, I'll give you half."

Qin Ping'an raised an eyebrow, picked up a silver note, and handed it to her.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Consider this silver note a token of my gratitude, is that alright?"

Wei Qingrou quickly put away the thousand taels of silver notes, then beamed with joy and thanked them repeatedly.

Qin Pingan whispered in her ear, "I've given you real money, and you're just going to talk the talk? Show me your best tonight and give me a good time, okay?"

Wei Qingrou's cheeks immediately flushed red, like a ripe peach on a branch, white with a hint of red, making her particularly eye-catching.

Qin Ping'an's eyes darkened instantly. Just as he was about to continue teasing, he saw the head steward of the prince's residence enter the tofu shop with a worried look on his face.

Qin Ping'an quickly suppressed his lustful demeanor, adopted a serious expression while reviewing accounts, and concocted a somewhat aloof air.

Wei Qingrou glanced at the head steward who had entered and knew that there was important business ahead, so she turned around and went to attend to it.

Nowadays, vegetarian dishes have become the main business of the tofu shop, but the kitchen staff are already too busy to keep the shop running while also preparing vegetarian dishes.

Previously, Wei Qingrou had instructed the shopkeeper to recruit people, and today was a good day to look for them.

When I arrived at the backyard street, I saw a large group of people waiting.

Wei Qingrou glanced around the crowd and spotted a familiar face.

"Xueyan, what are you doing here?"
