The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Granny Wang wasn't the type to believe everything she was told, and she was quite surprised. "Why did you think of taking me out? Wouldn't it be better for you to go out and buy someone else?"

"How can that be the same? I've spent time with them, I know their temperaments, and what the master wants most?" Du Mingxian blinked.

Remembering that she had bought servants before, Granny Wang blurted out, "The loyalty of servants."

"Yes, every master wants a trusted confidant by his side, but would you dare entrust all matters to the servants you buy?"

"You've seen me at my most vulnerable, and you've treated me well, so I'm naturally willing to trust you. Therefore, you must be the most important person in my heart, and I'm determined to keep you close." Du Mingxian's promises grew ever larger, and she made them up as she went along.

Wang Pozi is now full of hope for the future. She imagines that she has become a favorite of her master, and that all the servants in the mansion will treat her with utmost respect after she leaves.

Just thinking about that scene made her feel refreshed, like drinking a glass of ice water on a hot summer day.

"Okay, that's good, I believe you."

“That’s right. Mr. Niu is a good man, but he is a man after all. He has to be busy with things outside every day. I still have to manage the things in the inner quarters myself. But you will assist me from now on.”

"it is good."

The two talked more and more outrageously, but Du Mingxian was particularly satisfied that she hadn't taken the medicine. By evening, she felt her entire hand quietly lift up. Although her arm couldn't move completely, it was already good that her hand could move.

Granny Wang was especially kind to Du Mingxian in the afternoon, and the two chatted more and more pleasantly.

Granny Wang liked being flattered, so Du Mingxian kept making empty promises, saying that she would be in charge of everything in the future, which made Granny Wang feel arrogant.

Because she was given too much medicine, Du Mingxian was still unable to move the next day. She could only lift her hand slightly and turn her head slowly, but only to a limited extent.

She took a nap at noon, and then Granny Wang went out for a stroll. When she returned in the afternoon, she brought back some news.

"Oh no, chaos is brewing! There's going to be a war outside!"

Du Mingxian frowned. "What's going on?"

"The Tapa are inherently evil. They colluded with the Third Prince and even framed the Emperor for his death. Now that the truth has been revealed, our Great Shun cannot swallow this insult. Great Shun is going to attack the Tapa!"

"Do not……"

Yes, I think so.

The national treasury's contents are still in her spatial storage, and now a fight is about to break out?

Du Mingxian didn't know what to say. If a real fight broke out, Da Shun would have nothing and no financial support, and would probably suffer a defeat.

Who came up with the idea?

"Oh dear, we have to fight. This old hag is too infuriating. She even dared to go to the palace. I heard that the deal the Third Prince made with them was to give them five cities. What does that mean? How much territory is that?"

"It's fortunate that the Third Prince didn't ascend to the throne. If he had, Da Shun would have been doomed sooner or later." After saying this, Granny Wang cautiously glanced outside and, finding no one there, finally relaxed.

Seeing that Du Mingxian didn't speak, Granny Wang asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"No, I'm just quite surprised. Why would they suddenly start fighting?" The silver is still in her space, what should she do?

Granny Wang explained, "Didn't I tell you before? I feel we have to fight this battle. If we don't, people will think we, the Great Shun, are cowards. We can't let that happen. If we accept this loss, what will we do next time? Who will treat us like human beings?"

"If Da Shun becomes a pushover, everyone will want to take advantage of him, and that will be the end of him."

Du Mingxian looked at Granny Wang with surprise. This person... was quite interesting. She was greedy for money, liked to show off, and also liked power, but she saw things very clearly.

“You’re right. I’m very surprised. This time, so many officials were killed, and our Great Shun has been severely weakened. If a fight breaks out suddenly, we will have a hard time.”

"So what? I have to fight, even if it's tough." Granny Wang shrugged. "Even if I'm a coward, I absolutely can't back down in front of outsiders. Even if we're starving, I'll still put some oil on my mouth before I leave the house. Who would know my situation?"

Du Mingxian looked at Wang Pozi with new respect, saying, "Yes, you're right."

No matter how difficult it is, we must show our strength. If we don't teach the Daba a lesson this time, other countries will treat Da Shun as an easy target.

You'd better get better soon so you can release that money and return it, otherwise... what will you do?

Granny Wang sat there, looking worried. "If a real fight breaks out, we in Da Shun might not necessarily come out on top. I don't know if things will stay peaceful."

"Hard to say."

"Yes, after suffering a defeat, Da Shun might not even be able to protect itself, let alone us common people," Granny Wang said, blinking as she pondered.

"You just said you were doing great, why are you backing down now?" Du Mingxian couldn't keep up with Wang Pozi's train of thought at all.

Granny Wang waved her hand and said, “You don’t understand. You’re too young. They say that heroes emerge in times of chaos, and talented people also emerge in times of chaos. Take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, and when the world is at peace, I can become a wealthy merchant myself. Why would I need to work as someone else’s servant?”

day.

OMG! !

Who can tell her what kind of freak Wang Pozi is?

The news just came out that war was coming, and this servant is already thinking about how to make a fortune when things get chaotic. What a brain... Is this really an old lady?

Du Mingxian had never imagined this in her several lifetimes.

She really admired this person. If they really went out, taking Granny Wang with them wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

"It's impressive that you have this idea."

Granny Wang scoffed, "I have many skills that you wouldn't understand."

Right now, she's thinking of going back to her old ways. In chaotic times, people are the least valuable thing. She'll first get some money, train some thugs, and then... start collecting children.

Children, women, and adults.

A person in their prime can be sold or kept to work; a child can be raised or sold.

Women are simple. Young ones can be opened as brothels and made to earn money with their bodies. Those who can't take customers can be given other jobs or sold off.

In chaotic times, a pound of black face can be exchanged for a person.

This is a very profitable business.

There are also medicinal herbs.

food.

Seeing that Granny Wang was deep in thought, Du Mingxian didn't want to disturb her, so she lay quietly.

After some time, Granny Wang approached Du Mingxian and said, "I'm not giving you the medicine because it goes against Mr. Niu's wishes. If he finds out, I won't be able to explain myself. So I've decided to give you the medicine again."

Du Mingxian frowned. Why would this person go back on their word? Something must be wrong.

“If there’s something you need to say, just say it directly. You don’t need to bring up the medicine. The fact that you didn’t give it to me earlier proves that you didn’t really want to give it to me.”

"You figured it out?" Granny Wang chuckled, showing no embarrassment whatsoever, completely open and honest.

Du Mingxian asked, "What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Granny Wang plopped down on the edge of the bed. Just as she was about to speak, seeing Du Mingxian lying there, she knew she had to lower her head, so she simply said, "I'll help you sit up, so you can lean against something."
