While all this was happening, Lord Cui's concubine standing in the corner finally realized the real intention behind the whole thing: it was not just a simple insult to their appearance, but more importantly, it completely destroyed what a woman cared about most - reputation and status.

From now on, in this prosperous era, they will become the eternal laughing stock of people.

"Get out of here now, don't force me to do anything!"

Before the two Suns could respond, Mu Wei stepped forward and said in a cold voice.

They cannot compete with power, and are even more powerless in the face of verbal battles.

At this moment, an indescribable feeling of regret spread in the hearts of the two.

Looking at Mu Wei's sharp gaze and Fang Yi's unignorable presence beside him, the two Suns couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts - if they continued to stay here, they would be afraid that even their dignity would be gone!

So, without saying anything more, they quickly walked out of the rouge shop.

Seeing the troublemakers leave, Yin Susu's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

There was a hint of admiration in her eyes as she gazed at Fang Yi: this champion marquis always seemed to be shrouded in an unfathomable aura.

As he learned more about her, this impression became more profound, and he became more aware that Fang Yi was definitely not an ordinary person.

"I'm really sorry for scaring everyone."

Fang Yi's gentle smile soothes people's hearts, and his words are like a gentle breeze, "You are all the proud daughters of heaven. It is our great honor to have you visit our shop. As compensation..."

At this point, he looked around tenderly and said, “In the future, anyone who comes to this store to buy perfume will be given an exquisite and unique gift box as a token of our gratitude.

This gift box is not only perfect for holding your fragrance treasure, but also can add a bit of friendship when used for decoration or given to relatives and friends. "

After saying this, he curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile and gave a knowing look to Mu Wei beside him.

The latter responded cheerfully: "The cost of all gift boxes will be borne by me alone."

In an instant, the slightly tense and depressing atmosphere caused by the Sun sisters' trouble was immediately broken, and replaced by joyful expressions on the customers' faces.

Buy perfume and get a free exquisite gift box?

How thoughtful!

What is even more surprising is that one of the three tyrants in Beijing, who was thought to be domineering, could actually act so generously?

Seeing this, Yin Susu's beautiful eyes flashed with more appreciation and curiosity.

She secretly wondered, under this peaceful appearance, how many unrevealed and wonderful ideas did Fang Yi have waiting to be revealed?

When she realized that she was attracted by Fang Yi's eyes with a warm smile, she turned her head away unconsciously. Her heart seemed to tremble slightly, and an indescribable feeling quietly arose...

……

In the fourth prince's bedroom.

Yang Jingxuan washed the teacup in his hand slowly and every subtle movement revealed a calm and elegant temperament.

Not far from him, Su Zhenlong, a man dressed in Confucian robes and with a handsome face, was kneeling respectfully, with his head lowered and reporting in a deep voice the intelligence he had recently collected.

"Your Highness, Fang Yi has been frequently in and out of Yinji Rouge Shop recently..."

Yang Jingxuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and gently placed the clean teacup on the sandalwood table in front of him. A hint of interest appeared on the corner of his lips: "Oh? A dignified marquis actually started a business selling perfume powder? It's really surprising."

Su Zhenlong nodded, his voice still gentle and humble.

"Fourth Prince, it is said that the perfume is extremely unique and sought after. It was sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves."

He paused, as if he felt something was amiss.

"I am very confused about this matter and believe that there must be a deeper meaning behind it, so I dare not ignore it lightly..."

However, before he could finish his words, Yang Jingxuan raised his hand to stop him from speaking.

"Did the Minister of Rites and Prime Minister Cui's concubine also visit? The mastermind behind all this should be Madam Wu Dingyuan."

Yang Jingxuan's tone was calm and peaceful, as if everything had been expected by him.

"Thinking about how Wu Tong follows Yang Jingyu around like a shadow, this matter is naturally not beyond the influence of my brother."

As he spoke, he slowly turned the porcelain cup in his hand, his mind full of thoughts, a meaningful smile rising at the corner of his mouth.

"To be able to do things flawlessly and involve so many people in the plot, this so-called 'Marquis' is indeed quite capable."

After that, he filled a cup with freshly brewed tea and said to himself, "But no matter how much Yang Jingyu plotted, I'm afraid he can't hide it from the meticulous Lord Fang Yi!"

Then, he revealed a cunning look: "Forget it, since they are willing to play this game, why don't we just watch from the sidelines?"

After saying this, he looked through the carved window toward the distant sky, silently calculating in his mind what his next move should be.

……

The next morning, the morning light shone on the Guanjun Marquis's Mansion.

Fang Yi had already woken up. He was crawling shirtless on the bluestone floor in the backyard, his forehead soaked with sweat.

His hands were on the ground, his muscles were clearly defined, and every time he tried to stand up, he was full of strength and determination.

Xiaorou beside him clenched her fists tightly, her eyes fixed on Fang Yi's every move, and she kept counting quietly: "One hundred and ninety-three, one hundred and ninety-four..."

In the past few days, every time the first ray of sunlight appeared in the east, the young marquis would run around the entire mansion and then carry out this high-intensity training.

Although she did not fully understand the meaning of all this, every time she saw Fang Yi sweating profusely but looking full of energy, she would feel an inexplicable admiration and touch in her heart.

Finally, as the last number slipped from his lips, Fang Yi completed his physical exercise this morning and sat down heavily at an old stone table in the yard, his breathing slightly hurried but full of rhythm.

Xiaorou hurried over and began to help him relieve the pain in his shoulders with skillful techniques.

Fang Yi's gaze passed through the overlapping outlines of the buildings and looked towards the tightly guarded border of the Champion Marquis' Mansion in the distance - a team of armored imperial guards were patrolling the surroundings loyally.

Even if the surface of these armors is wiped clean and looks like new, it cannot hide the traces and wear left by the history behind them.

Thinking of this, Fang Yi secretly swore in his heart: As long as he makes enough money from the new perfume that has been selling well recently, he will not forget to buy new equipment for this group of brothers!

Just as he was thinking like this, he suddenly heard the shrill voice of an eunuch calling from not far away.

"I am here on orders. The Fourth Prince has something important to discuss with you!"

These words immediately made the atmosphere in the entire yard solemn.

The fourth prince?

What's up so early?

Not long after, a thin young eunuch came up quickly and knelt down to report: "My Lord, it's about the grain. I heard that the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, Zhang Wenyuan, was negligent in transporting the grain, which resulted in the loss of all the grain. He has now been arrested and is being interrogated. The Emperor is furious, and His Majesty has ordered him to be detained and brought to the capital for interrogation."
