Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

After finishing their meal, everyone cleaned up the dishes and sat in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting. Shi Wanxia thought about it and discussed it with everyone.

"Sisters, Qin Xin and I went out for a walk today. I've come up with some ideas for what kind of business to start. Even if we leave Sangluo City in a month, it won't affect our income."

Everyone looked at her with great curiosity. Sangluo City was quite large, with all kinds of merchants coming and going, and the goods were dazzling and all kinds of.

Qin Xin said with some confusion, "Miss, tell me, although we have never done business before, we will fully support you!"

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement. Sister Shi was so capable, and now she was doing this for the sake of her family's livelihood, so naturally they all gave their full support.

Shi Wanxia smiled calmly, she wasn't worried, "I think we can make soap, scented soap and perfume. Tomorrow, Qin Xin, Brother Li, you two will accompany me to buy the raw materials. The method is simple, we can make them together over a large fire. However, there's one thing I need to make clear to you."

Shi Wanxia suddenly remembered Yan Qiu's betrayal. She had known these people for a long time, and they were all gentle, kind, honest, and reliable. However, this world is treacherous, full of deceit and treachery. All sorts of people and things exist; some people are easily swayed, and their kind hearts are easily exploited.

Her eyes revealed complex emotions. The formula wasn't particularly valuable, but there couldn't be any more betrayal. She weighed the matter carefully in her mind, her gaze slowly sweeping over Li Qinglan and the others before her.

Shi Wanxia's expression turned serious. She solemnly said, "My formula isn't worth much money. Since we're all family, we must be of one mind and not betray each other. If anyone betrays us for money or is misled by others, I will never let them get away with it."

Upon hearing this, Li Qinglan and the others immediately responded in unison, "Sister Shi, we would never betray you. You are not only our savior, but you have also brought us a life free from humiliation. We cherish this life so much, how could we dare to betray you, Sister Shi?"

Li Changyu, standing to the side, frowned slightly. He didn't quite understand why this girl wanted to share the formula with these other girls. In his view, human nature was unpredictable; who could foresee what would happen in the future?

He said, "Miss Shi, you don't need to tell us the recipe; we will help you anyway."

The others nodded in agreement, echoing Li Changyu's words: "Young Master Li is right."

However, Shi Wanxia had her own ideas. Adhering to the principle of "trust those you employ and don't employ those you don't trust," she thought to herself: This time, let's test whether everyone is united.

Her gaze fell on Qin Xin and Shu Yun. Although they had joined later, they were reliable, hardworking, quick-witted, and adept at handling situations. Qin Xin, in particular, was steady and dependable, and she trusted both of them.

Shi Wanxia pondered to herself that she wasn't very good at managing a household, while Qin Xin was exceptionally capable and efficient. She could entrust this household to her. With that in mind, she handed the storeroom key to Qin Xin and said, "Qin Xin, you are steady and intelligent. From now on, you will manage this household. I am rather lazy and not good at managing a household, so I trust you to do it."

Qin Xin was slightly taken aback, then her eyes showed emotion. She took the key with both hands and said firmly, "Sister Shi, don't worry, Qin Xin will do her best and will never let you down."

Shi Wanxia nodded slightly, feeling somewhat relieved. Trust is extremely rare. She understood that only trust that has withstood the test of time is truly solid.

"Alright, it's getting late, Qingqing. You two shouldn't do needlework tonight, go back to your rooms and rest. Tomorrow you and Shuying will get up early and make us breakfast!"

The moonlight was hazy, like a thin veil shrouding the earth. A gentle night breeze swept by, carrying a chill. In this tranquil atmosphere, everyone in the courtyard, covered with warm blankets, drifted off to sleep.

Outside the courtyard, Yan Qiu led a group of assassins in black, lying in ambush outside the courtyard wall. The assassin leader said in a low voice, "They got away last time, we can't afford to fail again this time." With that, he waved his hands, and dozens of assassins scaled the wall and entered the courtyard like ghosts. They moved lightly, landing silently, and carefully searched for their target in the courtyard.

Li Changyu was always vigilant, maintaining a degree of alertness even in his sleep. Hearing the faint sound of someone intruding, he awoke with a start. Without hesitation, he swiftly blew his jade whistle. In no time, the men sent by his third uncle arrived like the wind, immediately kneeling before him. "Greetings, Young Master. What are your orders? We'll deal with those men."

Li Changyu interrupted him, his face grave and radiating a fierce aura, a stark contrast to his usual gentle demeanor. "Send some people to protect the women in the courtyard, the rest of you surround the courtyard, don't let those people escape."

Upon receiving the order, the men immediately dispersed, their actions swift and orderly. The head guard, in particular, was meticulous and sent someone to quickly inform his third uncle of the young master's attack.

Li Changyu, sword in hand, leaned against the garden's veranda. Silence reigned all around, broken only by the occasional rustling of a gentle breeze. Suddenly, a powerful killing intent surged from all directions. His eyes narrowed, and his sword flashed from its sheath, deflecting the unexpected attack with lightning speed. The blade traced a brilliant arc through the air, emitting a sharp, piercing sound.

The attack consisted of several poisoned darts, which Li Changyu's longsword precisely deflected, embedding themselves deeply into a nearby pillar. Li Changyu's eyes were fixed on the surrounding darkness; he knew the enemy was lurking there, waiting for their chance.

His breathing was steady, but his heart was beating faster than ever before. He could sense that this enemy was stronger and more cunning than ever before.

In this tense moment, Li Changyu's mind raced, searching for a solution. He had to find the enemy's weakness as quickly as possible to protect everyone in the courtyard. He tilted his head slightly, listening to the sounds around him.

Suddenly, he heard extremely faint footsteps approaching rapidly from the left. Without hesitation, he turned around, his longsword flashing like lightning in that direction.

At the same time, several more arrows came from different directions. Li Changyu dodged them with lightning speed. His movements were fluid and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. His eyes revealed firmness and courage, showing no sign of being intimidated by the enemy's attack.

As time went on, the battle grew increasingly fierce. Li Changyu, relying on his superb martial arts skills and keen insight, repeatedly deflected the enemy's attacks. However, the enemy seemed endless, leaving him feeling somewhat overwhelmed. But he knew he couldn't back down; he had to protect everyone.
