Li Liuyun nodded. "Senior brother, senior sister-in-law, this is Prince Pingnan, Nangong Li, who is also my fiancé. I am the Princess of Huainan, Li Liuyun, whom you are talking about."

We two are concealing our whereabouts this time. We are on imperial orders to travel from the capital to the southern border on important business. There are people in the capital who are colluding with the people of the southern border to concoct a plague-spreading insect and intend to invade the northern border.

We had no choice but to conceal our whereabouts and appearances, and disguise ourselves. We beg your understanding, Master, Senior Brother, and Senior Sister-in-law.

"What? A plague?" Zhuge Qingyi was shocked.

"These southern barbarians are truly despicable, treating human life like dirt; they deserve to die!" Feng Xian was also furious!

"Junior Sister, are you confident about your trip? Is there anything we can do to help? How about letting your senior brother accompany you? Although his medical skills are not as good as yours, they are still decent, and he can help you out." Shi Hongxiao looked at Li Liuyun, her concern evident in her eyes.

Li Liuyun shook his head: "Our main goal this time is to solve the problem at its root, find that poison master, and then kill him when the opportunity arises. We will also destroy those poisons. Moreover, the plague has not yet spread, so there is no use for you, Senior Brother."

Zhuge Qingyi rolled her eyes at the risk: "What can this rebellious disciple do? All he does is annoy me all day long. To put it bluntly, this trip is fraught with danger, and he doesn't know martial arts. If something happens to him, Little Seventeen and Nangong will have to take care of their senior brother."

Feng Xian looked at Zhuge Qing with a wronged expression: "Master, so in your eyes I'm useless, just a piece of trash?"

Zhuge Qingyi shook her head: "It's not all bad. At least you have a good palate. You're a real foodie and can find delicious food for your master, so you're quite useful."

Feng Xian looked at everyone and saw that they were either drinking tea with their heads down or their shoulders were shaking. Feng Xian looked at Zhuge Qingyi and felt even more aggrieved: "Master, what you said is so true. Please don't say it next time."

Seeing her husband's aggrieved expression, Hong Xiao couldn't bear it any longer: "Oh, husband, don't worry about the details. The key is that in Master's eyes, you are a useful person, aren't you? Besides, whether you are useful or not depends on who you compare yourself to. How many people in the world can compare to Master?"

Look at my husband, in my eyes you are a first-rate useful person. You have managed the Feng family in an orderly manner, and our shop is making a fortune every day. In terms of wealth in Nan'an City, we are second to none.

Even those who dislike us can only gossip behind our backs, but dare not say anything to our faces. Why is that? It's because we're rich.

If anyone makes us unhappy, we'll just throw money at them. Guaranteed to shut them up immediately. There's also a saying: "Money makes the world go round." What does that mean?

"That shows money is useful. And since you're so good at making money, doesn't that mean you're quite capable? Think about it carefully, and see if I'm right."

Feng Xian thought about it carefully. Money wasn't everything, but it seemed like you couldn't do without it. So he smiled, took his wife's hand, and shook it, saying, "My wife knows how to talk. Please say things like that more often! I love hearing it!"

Hongxiao looked at her husband, who was now acting coquettishly. Her lips twitched, and her eyes darted around: "Since my husband is so happy, is there any reward?"

"What reward does Madam wish for? Just name it. I am overjoyed today, having seen Master and Junior Sister again, and I even have a prince as my brother-in-law. Such a joyous occasion! Madam, give the order that each of the maids, Xiao Si, be rewarded with one tael of silver for this double celebration, and that her monthly allowance be doubled."

Feng Xian waved his hand dismissively, displaying an air of authority that he would foot the bill for the entire meal. Unfortunately, all the maids and servants had already been dismissed.

Only Madam Feng said cheerfully, "Thank you, husband. Then, can we go and buy that set of red jade jewelry and headdress that I had my eye on last time, which cost 12,000?"

"Buy! Buy! Buy! Take my junior sister again tomorrow and buy her several more sets of jewelry and clothes. It's rare for her to come here, so take her to stroll around the streets near our house."

After Feng Xian finished speaking, he turned to Li Liuyun with a smile and said, "Junior sister, I don't know what you like. Tomorrow, go with your sister-in-law to stroll around the streets near your home. If you see anything you like, tell your sister-in-law."

Don't be shy, just put it on my tab. Although I've only scratched the surface of art, when it comes to making money, I'm a pro! So our family isn't short of cash; pick out plenty tomorrow.”

Li Liuyun smiled and nodded: "Then thank you very much, Senior Brother."

After the meal, Hongxiao and Feng Xian took a beauty-enhancing pill in front of others. Moments later, the pill took effect. Everyone saw that Feng Xian and Hongxiao's faces gradually changed. They looked younger and younger, their skin becoming increasingly rosy and radiant, appearing at least ten years younger!

Looking at Hongxiao's increasingly youthful face, Feng Xian was extremely excited: "Madam, I feel that your appearance has returned to that of an 18-year-old. You are still so beautiful, unforgettable at first sight, and captivating at second sight."

Hongxiao didn't look up. She could only feel that the skin on her face was becoming increasingly firm. Hearing her husband say this, she lowered her head and scolded, "We're an old married couple. Master and Junior Sister are still here. You're just spouting nonsense. Aren't you ashamed?"

Zhuge Qingci laughed and said, "What's so shameful about this? To be honest, what's shameful about a real man praising his wife? It's not like he's flattering another woman. There's a saying, 'A man who loves his wife prospers; a man who mistreats his wife will never have any wealth.'"

This kid has been traveling around doing business all these years, but it's all thanks to you sitting at home directing things! Without you, would he have achieved what he has today? His success is inseparable from your support.

"If you manage the household affairs well, he can focus on his work outside with peace of mind, right?"

Hongxiao's eyes reddened after hearing Zhuge Qingyi's words.

Feng Xian quickly grabbed Hongxiu's hand: "Oh, my good wife, Master is praising you! Master is right. Without you at home managing the household affairs for me, how could I earn money outside with peace of mind!"

"Master is right. Half of the money I earn is thanks to you! I will always remember the promise I made to you. I will never take a concubine in this lifetime. Even if we only have one daughter, Yan'er, we can always find a son-in-law to live with us in the future, so that Yan'er won't suffer any mistreatment after marriage."

Hongxiao looked up at Feng Xian: "But those ladies always talk about me behind my back, saying I'm just a pretty face in the Feng family!"

“Madam, that’s not right of you. Don’t you know your father’s preferences? You should have retorted to him like that.”

Amidst the crowd, Fengxian, with one hand on her hip and the other in a delicate, feminine gesture, said, "Is it a secret that my husband likes vases? Any one of the vases in my house could buy all of your outfits! It might even be worth more than your entire net worth. So what if they're vases? My husband just likes this particular type of vase!"
