FID – Chapter 435

  Chapter 435: Could Anytime

  Liu Yusheng long ago stifled a smile and ran away.

  If she continued to stay there, she didn’t know how embarrassed her old man would be.

  She had to take advantage of Feng Qingbai’s busy time to process another batch of tea leaves.

  Something happened to the tea plantation.This year’s spring tea leaves might not be able to keep up with demands. The supplies of the Qian’s nourishing teahouse and other teahouses and tea shops in the capital were almost consumed.

  The chain couldn’t be broken. Otherwise, it would affect their prestige and public reputation.

  On Feng Qingbai’s side, he had to appoint the metropolitan imperial examination passers, so he needed to work with the Ministry of Rites and read papers, and then select the top among 300. After that, he also had to be responsible for the court examination. Hence, he would at least be busy for several days. These few days were also enough for her to prepare a batch of tea leaves.

  After Liu Yusheng returned to Shengxiao Courtyard, she closed the door and sank to her space.

  Over the past few years, the medicinal materials in her space had been harvested batch after batch. Several of the most valuable medicinal materials, such as ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, snow lotus and so on, were preserved by grade and age. She kept a part of them always untouched. So far, even she couldn’t estimate how many years these herbs had been there.

  She only knew that each one of them could cause a sensation in the medical world if they were introduced to the market.

  The only kind in the world.

  There were other items such as galvanized iron sheets, noble dendrobium, Solomon’s seals, Gastrodia elata, female ginseng, and so on. Her space warehouse was stacked with large quantities of these items.

  The herbs she concocted outside the space were just a drop in the bucket compared to the amount stocked in her space.

  Her consciousness crossed the medicine field, passed through several fruit trees at the corner, and came to the other end, which was an ancient tea tree she specially planted. Beside the ancient tea tree, there were several smaller small leaf tea trees.

  The fresh and tender tea leaves on the branches of the tea tree were growing green and lush. After picking them, she would classify them according to different kinds of tea and process them directly in her space. Although it took a lot of mental energy, it was much more convenient than doing everything outside. There was no need for her to prepare a bunch of processing tools, and the whole processing process could be completed directly by relying on the instruments in the space.

  At Liuyun Pavilion, Liu Zhixia came out of the bath, and Fu Yuzheng took out a dry cloth towel to wipe his hair, which was still dripping water.

  ”There’s still spring chill in the air. You’d easily catch a headache if you don’t dry your hair. You have to change your bad habit. You don’t dry your hair more after bathing every time.”

  She wiped his hair gently and meticulously. Liu Zhixia smiled and closed his eyes, enjoying this kind of treatment without saying anything.

  If he dried his hair, how could he enjoy this moment of warmth?

  ”There are still three days left. After the three-day court examination, you will be a new bride, Yuzheng,” he spoke in a gentle tone, with a tenderness that made the tip of someone’s heart burn.

  Fu Yuzheng almost hardly maintained her movements. She feigned anger and asked, “Are you sure that you will enter the top ten to participate in the court exam?”

  ”It won’t affect my mood whether I pass or not.” He took her fingers on his hair and kneaded them gently. “I tried my best in the exam, not because I was greedy for power, so the gains and losses are not so important to me.”

  ”Since you are determined to pursue a career, how come you are so indifferent to the result?”

  ”Stepping into officialdom isn’t because I’m ambitious, but more than that, I want to have the ability to protect my family. If this path doesn’t work, then I will take another path.

  The corners of Fu Yuzheng’s mouth lifted slightly. His openness and transparency were also the ticks that captured her heart.

  ……

  When a servant outside came to call him to the hall for dinner, Fu Yuzheng didn’t even dare to make a sound.

  ”Mr. Liu, Miss Fu, the evening meal is ready. You can come and have your meal when you are done.”

  The servant called them both and left.

  The door of Mr. Liu’s room was closed, and the room sounded quiet at first, but it was unusually quiet.

  As a servant in the royal residence, no one was short of intelligence. In this atmosphere, everyone could vaguely guess what was going on with a little thinking. The servant felt embarrassed to stay a second longer.

  All the servants and maids in the manor were well aware of what was going on between Miss Fu and Mr. Liu, and they had witnessed things several times.

  Miss Fu repeatedly stayed at night in Liuyun Pavilion. They were also aware of it, but didn’t dare to discuss it more.

  This kind of thing was detrimental to a lady’s reputation. Miss Fu was such a proud and noble woman, yet she wronged herself. She must love Young Master Liu very much.

  Fortunately, everything had paid off now, and Mr. Liu’s family came to propose to her.

  As long as the two were married, then this matter could only be a matter of course.

  Miss Fu usually treated them very well. She never scolded and oppressed anyone, so the servants in the mansion were happy for her happy ending.

  A moment later. Fu Yuzheng buried herself whole in the quilt, utterly embarrassed.

  The man obviously had just lain in the small courtyard of the examination hall for nine days. He should be extremely exhausted. How could he still be so energetic?!

  Fancy how seemingly immaculate he looked. It was all fake!

  Shameless!

  Beautiful face with a black heart!

  The woman refused to move. Liu Zhixia looked at the time and forced a smile. He picked her up along with the quilt, before exposing her head out of the quilt: “Shall I carry you to dinner?”
