Du Mingxian: "..." She hated being kept in suspense like this.

The carriage arrived at its destination quickly. Outside, Chun Tao lifted the curtain, and Du Mingxian looked up. The carriage had stopped at the same teahouse where she had sat the day the top scholar rode through the streets on horseback.

That is, the teahouse where the princes were present when they rode through the streets on horseback.

She dismounted from the carriage without making a sound. After Wen Jueping got off the carriage, he led her straight into the teahouse. Before entering the teahouse, he still acted as if he were the most important person in the world.

Upon entering the teahouse, he immediately became respectful and amiable.

A waiter approached the man, who hurriedly said, "It's arranged, second floor, Emperor's Room."

"The eldest son of the Wen family?"

"Yes."

The waiter immediately became respectful, "Please come upstairs."

Du Mingxian followed her up to the VIP room, which was large but not particularly luxurious. However, the room was exquisitely decorated, making people feel comfortable.

There was no one in the private room yet; there were only two masters and two servants.

"Cousin, who are you taking me to see?" The person behind this teahouse must be a prince, and the Emperor's House is usually not open to the public.

Wen Jueping brought her here, so he must be meeting someone. But who is it?

I'm still somewhat looking forward to it.

"You'll know when they arrive," Wen Jueping deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

Du Mingxian quietly pursed her lips. If you don't want to say, fine. It's just some prince. Why be so mysterious?

After waiting a while, she heard footsteps coming from the doorway. Du Mingxian turned her head and saw... the Sixth Prince's youthful face appear at the door.

The door closed quickly.

Du Mingxian and Wen Jueping quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.

The Sixth Prince glanced at Du Mingxian and said, "Alright, you can sit down too."

The group sat down, and someone brought out tea again and nodded in agreement.

Du Mingxian shut up immediately, saying nothing, and waited to see what the Sixth Prince was about to say.

"Miss Wen, the reason I had Jueping invite you out this time is because there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Du Mingxian pretended to know nothing, but was more flattered. She hurriedly asked, "Sixth Prince, I am just a woman from the inner quarters and know nothing."

"You can definitely help."

Du Mingxian remained silent.

The Sixth Prince simply asked, "I wonder if Miss Wen saw anyone drinking tea in the teahouse when she entered?"

"This teahouse is mine now, but its business is declining day by day. I'm anxious to revive it. I wonder if Miss Wen has any brilliant ideas?"

Du Mingxian quickly waved her hand, "Sixth Prince, I am an ignorant woman who grew up in the countryside and only recently returned to the capital. I know nothing about these things."

"No, no, no." The Sixth Prince waved his hand. "You told my waiter about this before. I think this method is very good, but I would like Miss Wen to help me come up with a more detailed change plan to make this teahouse a hit."

Du Mingxian rolled her eyes inwardly countless times. If she really had such a great idea to make the business boom, why didn't she just use it herself? Why would she tell you?

"Those were just things I made up on the spot, don't take them seriously. Besides, the business in the teahouse is all about real money. If they start making changes because of a few words I said, and the business doesn't improve after the changes, then I would be committing a heinous crime."

She wouldn't do something that's thankless and exhausting.

She could foresee that if things really changed and business was good, everyone would be happy because the sixth prince had good judgment; but if business was bad, all the blame would probably fall on her alone.

The sixth prince's face slowly darkened.

Wen Jueping had finally gotten a chance to curry favor with the prince, and he didn't want to lose that opportunity at all.

His father was an illegitimate son, and although he was his father's legitimate son, all the people above him were illegitimate sons, and his official position was a sinecure, not even considered an official position in the capital.

It was difficult for him to get ahead, and he wasn't very good at studying. Luckily, his mother had money, and she was quite wealthy in the past, which is why he became a playboy in the capital.

Now that the Sixth Prince intends to befriend him, he should naturally seize this opportunity and not let others look down on him.

"Huan'er, you must seize this opportunity. If you are truly clever, you can help the Sixth Prince reform. Then nothing will be a problem, and the Sixth Prince will protect you. Life will be so comfortable."

Du Mingxian felt that the other two people in the private room were mentally challenged and lacked common sense, especially Wen Jueping.

"Cousin, it's not that I'm unwilling, but there are too many things involved, and I really don't have the ability."

Seeing that she still said that, the Sixth Prince said, "In that case, I will send two managers. You only need to come up with ideas, and let them do the rest. You just need to give instructions. After it is done, I will not treat you unfairly."

Du Mingxian stood up and bowed, saying with great grievance, "Sixth Prince, it's not that I'm unwilling, but as you know, I grew up in the countryside and have limited experience with things."

"The things I said to the waiter that day were all my own ideas, and they were not put into practice. If I lost money, it would be a huge loss."

"Most importantly, no matter how well I plan it, it still depends on the customer making a purchase. What if I follow my ideas and still can't revive the business after it's all done?"

"It will take time. Although the teahouse business is not great right now, it's not like it's failing or about to collapse."

The Sixth Prince understood. He stared intently at Du Mingxian and said, "Go ahead and make the changes. No matter how the business turns out in the future, I won't blame you. How about that?"

No way, are you brain-dead? I've already rejected you so obviously, and you still can't understand what I'm saying.

"really?"

Never mind, let's just consider it helping the mentally challenged.

The Sixth Prince nodded. "Would I lie? Since I've said it, it must be true. I'll send someone over to help you. You just need to change it according to your ideas. I'll provide both the money and the manpower."

"Whether it succeeds or not, I will thank you after it's done."

As a prince, for him to express his gratitude was a sign of great sincerity, so Du Mingxian couldn't say anything more and could only grit her teeth and agree, "Alright, then I'll..."

Suddenly, an arrow shot in from outside, heading towards Du Mingxian. Du Mingxian heard the noise, turned around abruptly, and the arrow went straight for the Sixth Prince.

The men around the Sixth Prince immediately intervened and blocked the arrow; the whole thing happened in an instant.

Du Mingxian also saw clearly that the other party was extremely skilled. However, if he was not skilled enough to protect the prince, he would probably not be able to protect him.
