Although Aurora Xi was not valued, the emperor still gave her a lot of dowry for the sake of face when she got married.
But after the marriage, all these gold, Jade Jin, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, deeds, etc. were seized by Logan Gao and locked in her private vault. Aurora Xi couldn't get them before, but Logan Gao gave her the key yesterday, and the dowry was back in her hands.
With enough silver, Aurora Xi found someone to clean up the shop. Shelves and signs needed to be ordered new, and the soaps and facial masks that were trampled had to be remade.
The grocery store was temporarily closed, and Aurora Xi asked Huang Fu to go back and rest for a few days. She only left after everything was settled.
On the way back, Jade Jin was getting angrier and angrier. "Why don't we hire someone to beat up that Boss Wang? There are many people in the underworld who do this kind of business. Their methods are clean and efficient. Wang will definitely not suspect us!"
Jade Jin's idea was simple. Since she couldn't sue Boss Wang, she might as well play dirty! She didn't believe that Boss Wang would still remember those prescriptions with a knife on his neck?
"You," Aurora Xi sighed, "If he can't find you, can't he find Huang Fu? Wang Shichang is a smart guy, how could he not guess this?"
"Ah, what should we do then?" Jade Jin said, "Your Highness, you can't come in person. If you send someone else to make an appointment, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see Mr. Wang."
Aurora Xi fell into deep thought, "We can't say for sure that it was Wang Shichang who did it. Let me think about it again."
It was already late when they returned home. Hazel Jiang asked someone to prepare some light dishes. Yao Qin's face was still swollen, so she hadn't left her yard since she came back.
After what happened during the day, everyone in the Marquis's residence knew that the princess was the most favored one now, and even Madam Qin was left out. The Marquis personally directed people to clean the princess's courtyard for the entire afternoon, and even replaced the flowers in the house with new ones.
"You didn't see it, Madam Qin was almost mad at that time! Her nosebleed was so embarrassing! I've never seen such a high nosebleed!"
Three or five servants gathered together, chatting while mopping the floor. "This princess seems quiet on weekdays, but I didn't expect her to be so powerful! She just stabbed the Marquis the day before yesterday, and now she's poisoned Madam Qin. Even the Crown Prince doesn't have the guts to do this!"
"Let's all be alert, things have changed in the mansion now!"
"That's true. Don't offend the princess next time!"
...
They had agreed to meet in the evening during the day, and after Aurora Xi took a shower and changed her clothes, she came to have dinner with Hazel Jiang.
She has the means to protect herself, so she is not afraid of this Marquis Dingyuan.
Dinner consisted of three dishes and one soup, a combination of meat and vegetables. It was not as greasy as before and the portion was just right.
Aurora Xi was secretly surprised. Logan Gao used to be extravagant and wasteful, and she liked a table full of meat the most. She didn't expect that even her taste had changed.
After the dishes were served, Jade Jin and Aunt Zhang left, leaving only the two masters. Before leaving, Aunt Zhang winked at Aurora Xi, reminding her that wives should live in harmony and be more tolerant...
Aurora Xi pretended not to see it, and Aunt Zhang was kept in the dark, not knowing that they had signed a contract. When Aunt Zhang heard that Logan Gao had helped to protect them during the day, she tried her best to bring them together.
Hazel Jiang also sent the servant away, and then checked the outside of the house like a thief, making sure that no one was eavesdropping before locking the doors and windows.
"I have sent someone to clean your courtyard again." Hazel Jiang said, "If you find anything missing, tell me and I will ask someone to do it tomorrow."
When Aurora Xi came back, she also noticed the changes. The weeds in the yard were cleared, many flowers were planted, and the peeling walls in the room were repaired. When Aunt Zhang saw her, she was even more excited and kept whispering in her ear, telling her how thoughtful Logan Gao was, and even personally watched the arrangement of the calligraphy and paintings and vases in the room.
"The Marquis sent a lot of cloth and silk, saying that they were for making clothes for His Highness."
"And these precious tonics, used to regulate the body."
"If you ask me, the Marquis really cares about His Highness this time. He is not even this attentive to Madam Qin. If His Highness takes this opportunity to have a child, his position in the Marquis's Mansion will be secure!"
...
Thinking back to Aunt Zhang's instructions, Aurora Xi felt a headache. "Nothing is missing. You have arranged it very carefully. Thank you very much."
"Why are you being so polite? You are my wife." Hazel Jiang said, "I don't have any servants for you. You can pick some trustworthy people to live in the mansion. How about that?"
Aurora Xi was slightly surprised, "Are you serious?"
To be honest, she was really afraid that Logan Gao would send people into the yard, and she didn't know their details. Although she could take them down, it would still be a bit troublesome to deal with.
Logan Gao actually guessed her thoughts and allowed her to choose someone to enter the mansion?
"Really, I keep my word." Hazel Jiang said: "After what happened today, I realized that I still need to bring more people. It's not enough to rely on Xiao Jin Gang alone. When you encounter danger, two fists can't beat four hands. You definitely won't trust me if I choose someone for you, so why not let you choose by yourself."
Aurora Xi stared at her quietly. It was still the same face, with no changes in appearance, but she always felt that this person seemed to have been reborn.
Hazel Jiang: "I'll be shy if you look at me like that."
Aurora Xi: ...
I almost couldn't help rolling my eyes.
"Hahaha, I'm just kidding. Come and eat."
Hazel Jiang calmed his pounding heart and picked up some dishes for Aurora Xi as if nothing had happened.
In fact, she was really a little moved just now. It was late at night and the place was quiet. They were so close to each other, with only the two of them...Aurora Xi's eyebrows and eyes were so beautiful that they seemed to be able to speak and could easily move people's hearts.
But at this stage, her little thoughts can only end up as a joke.
Hazel Jiang ate in silence, turning his grief and anger into appetite. He first had a bowl of soup and then some dishes. Hmm... delicious!
Aurora Xi observed her calmly and waited until she finished eating before picking up the bowl and chopsticks.
Having been drugged yesterday, Aurora Xi was now extremely cautious. Even before entering the room, she paid special attention to any peculiar smells.
However, it seemed that she was worrying too much. Just like in the morning, Logan Gao did not do anything.
Aurora Xi said nothing and no one knew what she was thinking about. Hazel Jiang thought she was still angry about what happened during the day.
"I have confined Yao Qin to her house. She cannot leave the yard. If you are still angry, I will find her and punish her severely, and make her clean the floor for you."
...mopping the floor? Yao Qin?
Aurora Xi imagined the scene. If that was the case, even without poison, Yao Qin would be so angry that she would bleed from her nose...
Aurora Xi said: "This matter has passed. I won't bother her again."
Hazel Jiang said: "Then why are you unhappy? You look like you have a lot on your mind."
Aurora Xi paused. She had no intention of telling Logan Gao about Huang Fu's affairs. She only said, "Don't talk when you eat or when you sleep."
Hazel Jiang picked up a peanut and said, "Hey, you've already said something, but you're breaking your promise."
Aurora Xi: ...
She put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at Logan Gao carefully. If possible, she really wanted to knock open this man's brain to see if there was anything strange inside.
In the past, most of the conversations with Logan Gao were meaningless quarrels, but now, she could clearly feel that Logan Gao wanted to control the rhythm. Every conversation was like a game, and he also counterattacked her.
Seeing that Black Lotus was speechless, Hazel Jiang smiled, "Well, if you don't want to tell me, I won't ask. But I do have something happy to tell you."
Aurora Xi asked: "What?"
Hazel Jiang smiled mysteriously and proudly, "I know a few ways to make money. Once these things are made, they will definitely sell well! How about we set a small goal and make 100 million?"
Aurora Xi remained silent, secretly thinking about finding a doctor as soon as possible.
Hazel Jiang knew Aurora Xi didn't believe him as soon as she saw his eyes, so she used her sales skills and spoke quickly, "Listen to me, the materials for making something like this are very simple, only oil, shells, and wood ash are needed, the cost is cheap, everyone can use it, small profits but quick turnover! It can also be made into different shapes and colors, it is both beautiful and practical! Once this thing comes out, it will be popular in Kyoto!"
Hazel Jiang seemed to have seen mountains of gold and silver.
Aurora Xi: "Are you talking about soap? There are people selling it in the market."
Hazel Jiang: "???"
Oh my god, Hazel Jiang was shocked, this thing actually exists? !
However, soap is indeed a product of ancient times. Although it is not mentioned in books, it is possible that it has really existed.
"It's okay, I know another one." Hazel Jiang paused for a moment and smiled confidently again, "This thing can remove acne and wrinkles, and beautify the face when applied. As long as it is made, it will definitely be sought after by many Kun Juns! We are targeting high-end customers, such as the families of the rich and powerful. This is a huge profit!"
"Facial mask?" Aurora Xi said, "I have one, too."
"!!!"
This time Hazel Jiang was shocked. Not only soap, but now there are even facial masks?
Should this kind of modern vocabulary appear here? !
Hazel Jiang was a little skeptical about life. She asked anxiously, "What about the glass? We can't---"
"Yes, but they are all small items that are made into ornaments." Aurora Xi narrowed her eyes and stared at her inquiringly, "...How did you know these things?"
Hazel Jiang's defense has been broken. As a person who traveled through a book, I can tell just by watching the short video!
The question now is, how can these things appear in the world of the novel at the same time! Isn't this an ancient fantasy? !
It was hard for Hazel Jiang not to wonder if there was also a modern person who came through, and this Lao Liu came earlier than her, and had taken all the paths she wanted to take! How abominable, leaving her with no path to take!
There are thousands of skills in the book, why choose these three! She doesn't know anything else, how can she expect to make a fortune?
Hazel Jiang couldn't wait to dig out this Lao Liu, so he asked seriously: "Tell me first, who sold these things?"
Aurora Xi refused to give in. "Tell me how you knew it first, and I'll tell you later."
"Well, I saw it in a book."
"Where's the book?"
"I can't find it. It's your turn to tell me."
...
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Aurora Xi said expressionlessly: "Is there any difference between this and not saying anything?"
Hazel Jiang: "Yes, you know the book."
Aurora Xi took a deep breath, she was thinking whether to poison Logan Gao to force her to tell the truth. This mouth has become too clever now!
Hazel Jiang said: "Actually, if you just tell me which store it is and who the owner is, I can tell you everything I know. How about that?"
Aurora Xi couldn't help but think, isn't the boss right in front of you, what are you going to do?
Of course, she would never say such things. If Logan Gao knew that she was doing business, it would be like he had something against her.
Aurora Xi kept silent.
"OK, I can find it out even if you don't tell me." Hazel Jiang said, "Such a rare thing must not be difficult to find. I can take people to the East and West Markets to look around. And I guess... this boss must be a very strange person!"
Aurora Xi: ...
You are the weird one!
Hazel Jiang thought of the trick that Black Lotus used against Yao Qin. She deliberately stepped back and stayed far away to prevent the other party from having the chance to poison her.
Although Hazel Jiang did not inherit the memory of her original body, her body has inertial memory, and she has mastered all of Logan Gao's kung fu. If Aurora Xi wanted to use force, she would definitely not be able to beat her, a Qian Jun.
Facing Logan Gao's wary look, Aurora Xi rubbed her temples, feeling extremely complicated at the moment.
Why does it seem like she is the bad guy who wants to persecute Logan Gao...
However, as Logan Gao said, these three things are too rare and can be easily found by asking around, not to mention that there was such a big commotion in the shop today.
Thinking that this man had helped her in the morning after all, Aurora Xi pondered for a while and decided to take a gentle approach.
"...I can take you to see the boss," she said in a deep voice, "but you have to keep your promise and tell me everything you know, and don't play tricks on me anymore."
