Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!
Chapter 60: Earning a Small Amount of Money in Half a Day
"What? Do you want to calculate how much money you have earned? How much dividends can I get?"
Qi Suian saw a solitary lamp from a distance, and walked over quickly to take a look. It was indeed her! So he made a joke.
"This..." Shen Mengyao looked at the pitiful amount of net profit at the end, cleared her throat and said, "This is a lot that hasn't been calculated yet. It's hard to tell right now."
Qi Suian could actually see that it would be strange for her to make money with this method, so he teased her on purpose.
"It seems that after deducting the wages, the silver will only be less, not more. You tell me a number so that I can have a better idea."
Shen Mengyao really didn't know what to say. It seemed that she had vowed that she could make a lot of money by cooperating with him, but when she calculated the amount, it was really pitifully little.
How could a dignified regent be interested in these trivial things?
She deliberately changed the subject: "Ahem, Your Majesty, you are tired today. I know there is a plum wine that is delicious. Why don't you ask Your Majesty to try it to relieve your fatigue!"
How could Qi Suian not see through her little thoughts? Of course, he did not expose her, and said, "Okay."
After packing up and preparing to leave, a cry of pain suddenly came from the backyard where the medicinal herbs were piled.
She looked back and saw Luochuan holding a thin figure with a long stick.
"Don't, don't, don't..."
The thin figure quickly raised his hands to block and beg for mercy: "I am not here to steal medicinal herbs because I am desperate."
Luochuan didn't say anything and waited for Shen Mengyao to come over.
Shen Mengyao specially held up a lantern to shine on the face of the little thief, and when she looked, it turned out to be an old acquaintance!
"Hey, isn't this the guy who stole my purse?"
The thief's eyes lit up when he saw it, and his eyeballs rolled around. He seemed to have come up with a plan and started to act out a play: "Oh, kind-hearted man! I have been looking for you. You let me go before, and I have no way to repay you. I was planning to find you to repay you, but I found you!"
When this person opens his mouth, he starts talking nonsense.
Shen Mengyao had no way to deal with him: "I remember you said before that you would not do this again. Now I have caught you red-handed. What should I do?"
When the little thief heard that something was wrong, he started crying and holding onto her trouser legs.
"Please don't send me to the government. I have parents..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Mengyao stopped him: "Alright, alright, I don't have the leisure to listen to this. Since you are so short of food, just stay here and work. I will provide you with food. If your family members are really sick, you can take the medicine back for free. Just don't do such petty things again!"
Seeing that she was young and often hungry, so she looked thin and small, Shen Mengyao couldn't bear it.
I'll help if I can, but if he really can't be brought back on the right track, he'll know where to go!
The little thief rolled his eyes and responded, "Okay."
She handed the person over to Luo Chuan, turned around and smiled: "Sorry to have kept you waiting, let's go!"
She specially asked Cuiwei to bring some green plum wine from home. She accidentally discovered it when she caught the adulterer. It was hidden in a deep alley. She gave a lot of it to Lady Wang and also brought some back for herself.
In the restaurant, she took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Qi Sui'an: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help recently."
"They are all trivial matters." Qi Sui'an said lightly and drank it all in one gulp.
"How?" Shen Mengyao was looking forward to his answer.
Qi Sui'an said what he meant directly, without beating around the bush: "Yes, the plums and wine mix very well, with a refreshing fragrance and a long aftertaste, and a bit of sweetness at the end. It's a good wine."
Shen Mengyao propped up her chin and smiled: "Your Majesty has tasted all the delicacies in the world, so it must be great to get a compliment from your Majesty."
"You are flattering me so much, is there something wrong?" Qi Sui'an narrowed his dark and deep eyes, with a hint of inquiry in his expression.
"Your Highness, before this happened, I had been trying my best to purchase medicinal materials, but... there are especially many patients these two days, and I have to prescribe three or four prescriptions at a time to ensure that they are all safe. I'm afraid there will be no medicinal materials available after tomorrow." Shen Tang expressed his concerns!
Qi Suian thought for a moment, put down the wine glass, and rubbed the rim of the glass with his bony fingers.
"The emperor said that we need to transfer medicines from other counties, so it will take some time, but at most seven or eight days. Starting from tomorrow, we will only give patients who come to see the doctor every day a dose of medicine. Let them come every day to hold on for a few days. I will go to investigate where the medicines that the eldest prince has hoarded are, and by the way, wait for medicines from other counties."
"Okay." Shen Mengyao nodded and asked seriously, "Did the people we arrested today confess?"
"No trick, and he even cleared himself of all blame." Qi Suian actually knew in his heart that since the eldest prince dared to do this, he would definitely not ignore the consequences.
So there must be no problem with these people who appear in the open.
Shen Mengyao sighed: "What should we do? Should we arrest or release these people?"
"It seems that we can only be locked up for a few days." Qi Sui'an said solemnly.
What a pity that no evidence was found!
After drinking some wine, Shen Mengyao felt a little tired. She stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. I'll take my leave first."
Qi Suian did not try to keep him.
The cool breeze outside sobered Shen Mengyao up a lot. Cuiwei looked worried: "It's so late, it's dark, Princess, please be careful."
"It's okay!" Shen Mengyao waved her hand and quickly got into the carriage.
The next morning, she went to each location to check the situation as usual.
While Cuiwei was talking to the doctor about today's situation, she started arguing with someone.
"Let go, why do you want to take our princess's medicine?"
"Who knew it belonged to your princess? Besides, I bought it with my own money!"
The male voice sounded familiar. Shen Mengyao stood up and looked across the crowd. It was indeed Li Junfeng!
She walked over quickly: "What's going on?"
When Cuiwei saw her coming, she immediately said, "I just came over and saw him taking the medicine and trying to leave. Why did he come here?"
Li Junfeng never expected that this medicine stall was actually run by Shen Mengyao. His face turned blue and red: "I paid the money, and you don't have integrity in doing business?"
Cuiwei looked very angry: "Anyway, I would rather feed this medicine to a dog than give it to you."
Shen Mengyao reached out to stop Cuiwei: "Forget it, we are open for business, so we can't be picky about our customers. Since this gentleman has paid the money, let him go."
Cuiwei was a little indignant, but she had no choice but to nod. When Shen Mengyao was about to turn around and leave, Li Junfeng suddenly called her: "Mengyao!"
