Youchu is still the same as before, not shying away from showing her true thoughts in front of others, even if others misunderstand her words as superficial.
Ji Jin suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
She was afraid that Miss Shen would make some shocking remarks that were not in line with her image as a lady, and she also thought that she was as tormented as Princess Jingxian.
She didn't dare to talk about Mr. Ning again, for fear of revealing her secret and talking about other things.
When Ning Wuyan came back from shopping for groceries, he didn't see Zhou Jingxian.
Seeing how Shen Youchu always glanced sideways at Cheng Yi from time to time, and deliberately plucked out all the foxtail grass, and tied up animal-like gadgets with Ji Jin, he guessed what had happened.
Since no one mentioned it, he pretended not to know and concentrated on cooking.
When the first course of sweet and sour pork is served.
The sultry scent broke the tense atmosphere in the courtyard.
"It smells so good! Mr. Ning, not only can you compose poetry and lyrics, but you can also cook better than my cook. You are simply inhuman!" Shen Youchu's words of praise are always so unique.
Ning Wuhuang accepted her compliments and kept up his efforts, making a dish of Mapo Tofu that upset the whole table.
"Hmm...it's delicious! Brother Ning, how about I come to your place to chop wood and make a fire, and you take care of my food?" Cheng Yi was immersed in showing off, and he didn't forget to make an appointment for the next meal.
Ning Wuyang smiled and did not refuse.
He didn't know if Cheng Yi really fell in love with him and deliberately said that he would be a long-term supporter, or if he had another purpose.
Considering that Cheng Yi had fought against Zhou An for him, it didn't matter how many meals he had.
After the meal, Shen Youchu and Ji Jin left the perfume shop.
Cheng Yi had eaten too much and walked over. It was late at night and it was difficult to find a carriage to go to the inn, so he slept in a simple guest room with the boy.
Ning Wuyan waited until the guests were arranged and asked the one-eyed boy and others who were still working to stop working.
"When we recruit more people tomorrow, we will definitely be able to finish the work as scheduled. If you seniors get burned, you won't be able to help me bring in new workers."
After his persuasion, everyone fell asleep.
When the last light in the perfume shop goes out.
Zhou Jingxian stood outside the gate like a door god, folding her arms and looking coldly at the six young men from Ye Mansion who were approaching quickly.
"No, someone is guarding the door!"
"Keep your voice down and leave quickly...ah!"
As the number one killer in the world, Zhou Jingxian never misses once she takes action.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the six boys fell to the ground, their arms bent behind them in strange postures.
Zhou Jingxian whistled, and a cart slowly came creaking and stopped at the door.
"Pull him to the door of Ye Mansion."
After she finished speaking, she raised her head and glanced at the two figures on the wall.
Cheng Yi, who finally climbed up the wall with his bodyguard, met Zhou Jingxian's eyes, and smiled awkwardly: "If I had known that there were so many people guarding Brother Ning's perfume shop, I wouldn't have to sleep on an awkward bed."
Zhou Jingxian cupped her fists and bowed: "In case anyone misunderstands Mr. Ning, I will leave tomorrow morning. I have been working hard these days, Mr. Ning."
"You're welcome, I'm helping Brother Ning, not you." Cheng Yi murmured and suddenly changed the subject: "And instead of focusing on me and Mr. Ning, why don't you go find Qin Fenglan, the Qin family It seems wise to protect oneself, but Brother Qin mentioned to me that Qin Shibo supports Ji Shangshu's views, and I think this is an entry point."
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Even if Qin Fenglan and the Qin family would not join Prince Kang for this reason, at least they would not be in cahoots with Prince Jin.
After receiving Cheng Yi's advice, Zhou Jingxian bowed again: "Thank you, Mr. Cheng!"
"Go on, go on. Brother Qin must be copying lyrics in the study at this time. If you can borrow a poem from Miss Shen that has not been circulated in the world, Brother Qin will have the patience to say a few more words to you."
Any talented person who is famous all over the world is definitely not someone who just hangs around and waits to die.
Cheng Yi knew that Qin Fenglan also had his own ambitions. As for whether Zhou Jingxian could successfully persuade the Qin family to join the group... He had exhausted his benevolence and righteousness. It all depended on Princess Xian's ability.
After Zhou Jingxian clasped her fists and said goodbye, Ju Xiang, who was hiding in the dark, also disappeared.
Cheng Yiqi stayed on the wall for a long time. When he saw that no one wanted to attack the perfume shop, he was sent off the wall by his personal guard.
Before he could stand still, he saw Ning Wuyang standing under the peach tree, staring at him dimly. Those eyes seemed to be like Da Ju's, reflecting the sharp light at night, which made him even more embarrassed.
"Brother Ning, are you getting up to go to the toilet too?"
"Yes, there is someone in the toilet. I can only wait here. Brother Cheng, next time you need to go out to the public toilet in a hurry, you don't have to climb over the wall. Just go through the door to avoid walking on your feet at night."
"Ah...hahaha, okay."
Ning Wuyang watched Cheng Yi return to the guest room, pretending to fall asleep, and laughed dumbly.
The children of the rich and powerful in this era really don’t have a fuel-efficient lamp.
But he didn't expect that Cheng Yi would really fall in love with him at first sight.
He never expected that Zhou Jingxian would secretly help him guard the door.
"If it really comes to the point of hugging the thigh, I will only hug the thickest thigh in Daxingguo. I'm afraid I will live up to Princess Xian's kindness."
However, if it really came to that point, he wouldn't mind secretly repaying Princess Xian's affection today.
Ning Wuyang looked up at the only bright moon surrounded by stars.
The moonlight was bright, illuminating the starry sky, but it could not illuminate the darkness under the figures.
"Since the Ye family doesn't want to be a rival, but wants to be my enemy, then we can't keep it."
…
It was late at night, but the Ye Mansion was still brightly lit.
Half an hour ago, a truck brought back all the thugs Ye Changlong sent to the perfume shop to spy on the secret recipe.
Without exception, the thugs had their hands broken, and the warning was very obvious.
Let Ye Fu not stretch his hand too far.
In the study, Judge Ye Tong heard Ye Changlong's extremely angry words about gathering more people, and when he went to attack the perfume shop at night, he slapped Ye Changlong on the head: "If you are not afraid of giving others a thumb, go ahead! I guess Ning Wuhuang has already prepared his manpower, waiting for you to throw yourself into the trap!"
"But uncle, how can we find the secret recipe without destroying his shop? If we can't find the secret recipe, how can we complete what the young marquis told us?" Ye Changlong thought about the news that Ning Wuhuang sold 135,000 yuan in half a day. The matter of two pieces of silver makes my heart bleed.
Perfume and incense customers almost overlap.
If they buy perfume, they will no longer buy incense.
Ning Wuhuang's 135,000 taels was completely stolen from the Ye family!
"What's the use of finding the secret recipe? As long as the Ning family doesn't collapse and the perfume shop is still there, our Ye family can only watch it helplessly and cannot copy it."
Ye Tongfan is also greedy for the profits of the perfume shop.
But the perfume shop is now protected by someone, so there is no way to do anything.
Just as the uncle and nephew were looking at each other in confusion, wondering where to start, a report sounded outside the door: "Master, my young master, Miss Liu is here."
What is Liu Qingfang doing here so late? !
"Tell her I'm taking a break and come back another day." Ye Changlong was so worried that he had no time to fall in love with Liu Qingfang.
Coupled with Liu Qingfang's attitude towards Ning Wushu today, he felt that it was time to show off this talented woman with high eyesight.
Unexpectedly, Ye Tongpan held a different opinion: "Please come in, Miss Liu!"
"Uncle?"
"You have forgotten that today you are able to survive under the nose of the young marquis with all your beard and tail only because Miss Liu family speaks well for the Ye family. If she comes here at this time, she might have a good idea to deal with Ning Wuyan! "
The boy welcomed Liu Qingfang in.
Liu Qingfang only bowed to Judge Ye Tong, without even looking at Ye Changlong, and went straight to the topic.
"Master Ye, I have a plan that will not only make the Ning family obediently hand over the perfume formula, but also prevent the Ning family from posing any threat to the Ye family!"
