When Liu Tianshu heard Ming Yi's words, her eyes lit up instantly.

According to her memories from her previous life, it would not be long before continuous rain started to fall in the capital. The tea from the south would not be transported here, and much of the tea from the north would become damp and undrinkable due to improper storage.

Nowadays, many people like to drink tea, and the price of tea in the capital will soar.

Since she knew about this opportunity through her memories of her previous life, she naturally wanted to take advantage of it to make a fortune. However, she had limited capital. Without using her basic funds, she could only scrape together a capital of more than 20,000 taels of silver.

The money-making business was right in front of her, but she had no ability to grab it. Liu Tianshu dreamed of making money suddenly appear. However, because she could not explain the source of her information, she did not dare to tell her mother the news.

In recent days, Liu Tianshu used all the money she saved from various sources to buy tea, but it was still far from his expectations.

If Ming Yi really had a way to get money out of the Marquis' Mansion through Mama Fang's matter, she would naturally not object. However, how much money could Mama Fang, a servant, get even if she used up all her family assets?

Seeing the suspicion in Liu Tianshu's eyes, Ming Yi smiled and reminded: "Miss, Madam Fang really doesn't have much money. Doesn't she have a master behind her?"

"You mean the old lady?"

Liu Tianshu shook her head slightly.

"Mrs. Hou is a very shrewd person. She would never spend so much money for a servant..."

"Her daughter has just been engaged to the Chang family, and her eldest son has also reached the age of marriage. Right now, he cares more about the reputation of the Marquisate than anyone else. Even if he beats Mother Fang to death afterwards, she will definitely pay for it."

"You're right."

After carefully analyzing Ming Yi's words, Liu Tianshu admitted that he was right and looked at him with shining eyes.

"I didn't expect that you are not only good at martial arts, but also have such a sharp mind. If you hadn't stayed with me for only one year, I would have handed over all the businesses under my name to you."

When Mingyi heard Liu Tianshu's words, his eyes lit up.

If it were in the past, Ming Yi would not have taken the business under Liu Tianshu's name seriously. Now that he knew that his master had no intention of letting him go back after a year, he should find something to do. Maybe he could appear in front of her openly.

With this thought in mind, Ming Yi said, "I am alone and originally wanted to travel the world after repaying the young lady for saving me. These days, I have found the value of my life by following the young lady. Young lady, if you don't mind my dullness, I am willing to stay by your side forever."

No one in the Marquis' Mansion could believe that what Liu Tianshu lacked most was someone like Ming Yi who was good at martial arts and could hide in the dark and help her do things.

Hearing Ming Yi say that he was willing to stay with her forever made her happier than hearing that she could get money from Fang's mother.

"Are you really willing to stay with me forever?" Liu Tianshu confirmed again.

"Yes!"

Ming also agreed seriously.

"What's your name?"

After getting the answer she wanted, Liu Tianshu asked curiously.

"Ming Yi."

Ming Yi said without even thinking.

After saying this, he remembered that there was something wrong with the origin of his name, but since he had already said it, it was too late to regret it.

"Ming Yi? How do you write it?"

"This……"

Ming Yi hesitated for a moment, but still wrote his name on the paper honestly.

Unexpectedly, Ming Yi's handwriting was quite good. Liu Tianshu became even more curious about this new subordinate of hers.

"Your name is very unique, and I've never heard of anyone with the last name Ming..."

"I don't have a surname, so I'll follow..."

Ming Yi instinctively wanted to say that he didn't need a surname to follow his master, but the moment the words came to his lips, he changed them to, "My father was also an orphan, and he picked me up. We didn't have our own surnames, so my father gave me this name."

After hearing Ming Yi's words, Liu Tianshu did not ask him about his life experience anymore, but just asked him to arrange the follow-up for Fang's mother.

After receiving Liu Tianshu's order, Mingyi quickly left the room.

Mother Fang was just a servant in the mansion. Although she kept the idea of ​​spending a large sum of money to rent flowers secret, Liu Tianshu still got the news early on, and she also had people keep an eye on her whereabouts.

The reason why he kept this person was, firstly, that he wanted to teach him a lesson after the banquet and take the opportunity to replace him with his own person.

Secondly, he also wanted to create some trouble for Hou and ask him to take out some money to settle the account of the garden.

I never thought that the money that Fang's mother had defrauded from the Hou family would one day come back to me.

Ming Yi's actions were completely beyond Liu Tianshu's calculations, but she suddenly thought about how Ming Yi, an ordinary person, could convince the manager of the flower shop to join him in cheating the Marquis' Mansion?

Beating a dog depends on the owner.

Even though their Zhongyong Marquis Mansion didn't have an old marquis who had established a family, they still had a young marquis who was protected by the emperor and the empress dowager. Even if Mother Fang was just a servant, she shouldn't have offended the Marquis Mansion for no reason, right?

The strange appearance of Ming Yi was something she had just ignored because she was too happy to want to stay. Now that she thought about it carefully, there must be someone behind this matter that she didn't know.

Thinking of this, Liu Tianshu became a little restless, especially when she thought of the tea that Mingyi helped her handle, which made her even more uneasy.

The banquet will be held in the Marquis' Mansion in a few days. Liu Tianshu cannot put aside the things at hand and go to her own villa to check on the tea. She can only call Mother Zheng and ask her to make the trip for her.

Liu Tianshu also received three thousand taels of silver from Mother Zheng for this tea business. When Mother Zheng heard that there might be problems with the tea, she did not dare to neglect it. She took Liu Tianshu's seal and left the Marquis' Mansion.

Mother Zheng was Liu Tianshu's confidant. When she suddenly went out, she was quickly noticed and people were sent out to follow her.

Mother Zheng is old and her legs are not very good, so she can't walk long distances.

She didn't notice that she was being watched. After leaving the mansion, she went to the carriage shop, rented a carriage, and asked the driver to take her out of the city.

Mother Zheng's home was outside the city, and the people who followed her out of the Marquis' Mansion would not dare to get too close without the master's order, and would not spend their own money to rent a carriage to follow her.

When I saw Mother Zheng leaving the city, I thought she had returned home and quickly went back to report.

Mother Zheng naturally did not go home. Instead, she took a carriage all the way to Liu Tianshu's manor in the suburbs. Under the guidance of the manor housekeeper, she soon saw the tea in the two warehouses that were carefully stored.

These teas, regardless of their quality, have been carefully preserved. Not to mention the dry weather now, even in the rainy season, there will be absolutely no problem.

After checking the room, Mother Zheng checked the bags of tea again. After making sure that everything was fine, she quickly took a carriage back to the city.

It took Mother Zheng most of the day to go back and forth. When she came back, it was almost dark. However, she still met Liu Tianshu first and told her about the tea leaves...
