At the entrance of the royal residence, Zuo Xuan sat in the carriage with a gloomy face.
The maid, accompanying her, shrank in a corner of the carriage, not daring to breathe loudly in the space.
During this month of recuperation, the young lady’s temper has become extremely odd.
In the past, she could still hold the arrogance of an aristocratic lady. Although she treated the servants arrogantly, she never beat them but scolded them at least.
But since her injury, she has completely transformed into a different person, shady and hideous. Beating and scolding someone she disliked were considered light. In this month alone, three personal servants have been caned to death in Miss’s courtyard!
The reason for this was because when a maid served her, the corners of her lips curled up a bit and looked like she was smiling!
Aware of the servant girl’s shrinking, Zuo Xuan’s face became more gloomy. She gave a cold hum, scaring the servant girl to stick to the wall of the carriage.
This kind of evasive act as if she were a vicious person aroused the twisted hatred in Zuo Xuan’s being. She was about to hit the servant girl, when the cold voice of a woman sounded out of the carriage at the right time.
“Miss Zuo.”
“How is it?!” Zuo Xuan immediately stopped moving and lifted the curtain of the carriage window.
Fu Yuzheng’s clear face was reflected in her eyes.
With her head hanging low, Fu Yuzheng said, “I’m sorry, Miss Zuo, Divine Doctor Xue is a person who comes and goes without a trace. Even the king can’t control his whereabouts. Miss Zuo, please return.”
“He’s not in? I’m afraid he doesn’t want to see me! Was it Feng Qingbai, or Liu Yusheng who forbade him?” Zuo Xuan’s eyes clouded over for a moment and sneered.
“No one forbade him. It’s just Divine Doctor Xue is not in.”
Glaring at the woman who spoke flawlessly, Zuo Xuan’s eyes became more and more dense with hostility, and her hideousness was plain visible.
When she came, she thought that Feng Qingbai would definitely obstruct, but she did not expect that he would use such an almost undisguised reason!
Make a fool of her!
Xue Qinglian was not here?
Ever since she found out that Xue Qinglian was in the royal residence, she had people keep an eye around the royal residence, and Xue Qinglian had never left the royal residence at all!
Feng Qingbai caused the damage on her legs, and she was now crippled! Yet Feng Qingbai still obstructed her from seeking medical treatment! How cruel!
She was irreconcilable with Feng Qingbai! One day, she would make him regret treating her like this!
“Return to the house!” She knew that she would not be able to see anyone today. Even if she wanted to break in, she could not break into the heavily guarded Nanling Mansion.
She could only find another way.
Xue Qinglian was now her only hope. She had to invite him no matter what!
She couldn’t be lame forever!
After seeing the carriage leave, Fu Yuzheng turned around and went back to the royal residence. She frowned a bit, and her eyes turned pensive.
Even without looking just now, she felt that the gaze cast on her was freezingly cold.
As a person, Zuo Xuan suffered such a big blow. From the proud Miss up in the sky, she was instantly reduced to the object of ridicule. Her psychological gap could be imagined.
Zuo Xuan was bound to change drastically.
She must find time to remind Miss Liu not to take this person lightly.
In the hall, the three sat again after a round of acting, and the topic returned to the Liu family.
“The Liu family’s special tea is considered finished now. At least for a short time, there is no way they can operate it again. Lucky Nannan, do you have any ideas?” Qian Wanjin asked.
Ideas? Liu Yusheng raised her eyebrows. An idea was naturally there – relentlessly beat the dog in the water.
But she still has a layer of concern in her heart. As they said, never pursue a desperate foe. If they rushed to press the Liu family, she was worried that Feng Qingbai’s side would be met with a strong counterattack by Consort Liu’s faction.
“If you want to do something, go ahead and do it. Although the forces in court haven’t torn their faces on the surface, private struggles have never stopped. Even if you don’t move, they will seek to tear you.” Feng Qingbai understood the woman’s mind at a glance. “You concocted a lot of sample tea earlier, so if you launch them at this time, it is just to temporarily make up for the vacancy that the Liu family had left. If you can take advantage of this time to stabilize, it will not be so easy for the Liu family to regain this piece of tea business in the future.”
“Then I will pluck up the courage and do it,” Liu Yusheng looked at the man and said with a smile.
He curled a thin arc at the corner of his lips and nodded, “Go ahead. I’m right behind you.”
Qian Wanjin’s emotions were stirring and surging, his blood boiling.
The Liu family suffered a blow, and they would take advantage
of this opportunity to launch their tea. This was equivalent to snatching the pie that fell out of the Liu family’s mouth.
How delightful!
His confidence in nourishing tea was calculated on the basis of a boom.
As long as the nourishing tea was out, there would be no way for the Liu family to retrieve food from their mouths when they wanted to launch a new special tea later.
No one could ever compete with what Lucky Nannan had to offer.
Like the nourishing wine and fruit wine that was now rapidly becoming popular throughout Nanling.
After being falsely accused, not only did the nourishing wine become popular, even the sale of fruit wine also reached a new high.
The Qian’s wine shop was now a big signboard in the capital, the kind that stood unshaken.
Even tourists from other places in the capital must first visit the wine shop to buy nourishing wine upon arrival.
He had imagined this kind of scene before, but it has not yet been realized.
Who would have thought that a blessing would come from a disaster? What a blessing in disguise, hahaha!
And, this change happened in just one day!
“Lucky Nannan, I will vacate a shop in a good location when I go back later, and strive to make our nourishing tea popular during the New Year. From now on, the Qian family’s signature is health preservation!”
Liu Yusheng smiled and looked askance at the spirited youth. He was worthy of being a businessman; his brain turned quite fast.
“Then you prepare. When you are ready, you can come here and transport the tea. I have prepared a batch, but it’s a limited supply. It can last until next spring. By then, the tea mountain will be ready for pick new tea leaves.”
Special tea was the Liu family’s main business direction. Their goal was not only in earning money, but more in winning people over.
The Liu family suffered significant losses after this battle, so their subsequent means would certainly be more intense. She was looking forward to it.
Just like Qian Wanjin, it made her blood boil.
It was her long-lost, youthful spirit.
When Qian Wanjin left the mansion, he spotted a carriage waiting there at the corner.
The carriage had the emblem of the Minister Zuo’s residence.
As expected, she really waited for him here, waiting for him to throw himself into the net.
She really concentrated her efforts on him.
“Young Master Qian, is it convenient for me to have a word with you?”
“Not convenient. Men and women are different. I’m a man with a fiancée. I can not soil my reputation.”
Clean reputation – she, Zuo Xuan, had a tarnished reputation.
These two words directly poked her wound.
It hurts, right?
The person who bullied Lucky Nannan dared to jump in front of him.
Not everyone would show respect to the prime minister’s granddaughter!
Silence settled in the carriage over there for a while, and guess what? She must be suppressing her anger.
Qian Wanjin pursed his lips and snorted, “Coachman, drive!”
“Mr. Qian, are you seriously not going to take any oil or salt (means to be stubborn)?” The woman’s voice came again, as if threatening him.
“Of course not, why not take them in? Don’t you have to eat oil and salt every day when you eat? It’s just that I really pay too much attention to my clean reputation. In the absence of my fiancee, I don’t meet women alone. Please forgive me, Miss Zuo. If you have something to discuss, you can send an invitation to the Qian Mansion, and I will definitely meet you then.”
The coachman flicked the reins and passed the Prime Minister’s carriage.
