Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 282: Capable of Anything

Since attending Princess Qing’s banquet, Qu Fulan’s lingerie business orders increased significantly.

Luckily, she was well-prepared; when there weren’t enough people, she hired more. As long as there were orders, she would never fail to deliver or delay.

Lingerie, which is popular worldwide in modern times, Qu Fulan believed could also gain popularity in ancient times. Nowadays, various major brothels in the Capital City are ordering from her. Naturally, what they want are unique styles, inevitably linked to sensuality.

The needs of noble ladies and young maidens are mostly conservative, and since they have money, their requirements for material are always high, prioritizing comfort and body shaping.

No matter the need, as long as customers propose it, Qu Fulan can create anything.

Regarding the lingerie business, the market is gradually opening up, and simultaneously, it’s beginning to attract the attention of other merchants.

Some sharp-eyed individuals, naturally noticed Qu Fulan’s business prospects, inevitably feeling envious and jealous.

That’s how business works; seeing others making money, they’ll also start doing it, hoping to get a share.

Qu Fulan isn’t afraid of sharing. This is simply normal market competition; after all, there are no monopolies in lingerie in modern times. Many people participate, and the key is management. If managed well, there will be business.

Her clientele is now stable, and the business gets better with each passing day, already far ahead of competitors. As long as quality and speed keep up, business will only get better.

Of course, just because business is good, Qu Fulan won’t be complacent. She has her own ideas about market competition.

Not mentioning others for now, Ji Nishang is the first to notice Qu Fulan’s momentum.

Because Ji Nishang has long started in the clothing business, it must be said that she has a sharp commercial mind.

Clothing relies on novelty and uniqueness; otherwise, why would others abandon other stores for yours?

Although Ji Nishang is not a designer, she has a keen eye, able to see which clothes will become the most popular styles, seizing the opportunity and earning money first.

In just a few years, the clothing store she managed made quite a fortune, establishing a place in the Capital City.

However, every business saturates eventually, compounded by various factors, clothing business increasingly pales compared to before. She had to seek other breakthroughs, and in doing so, discovered Qu Fulan’s lingerie business opportunity.

Ji Nishang sent someone to buy two pieces back, and after wearing them, she couldn’t help but admire Qu Fulan’s creativity.

"Where does she get all these ideas from, even making such undergarments? Wearing them is better than a belly wrap, and they shape the body, making clothes look better. No wonder business is so good." Staring at the mirror, Ji Nishang couldn’t help but exclaim.

Past ventures like the milk tea shop, Journey to the West, are things others have never seen before.

Ji Nishang naturally didn’t know Qu Fulan was inspired by things from the twenty-first century, assuming they were all her own ideas, feeling admiration mingled with jealousy.

"Take these to the garment factory, let them make different sizes of underwear to sell in the store." Ji Nishang decisively issued the order.

Once the lingerie is made, she can then circulate among connections, promoting her lingerie store. With the Xiao Family’s connections and influence, there’s no fear of lacking business.

In any industry, getting ahead can earn a significant profit. When everyone later starts following the trend, business won’t be as good as before.

The key still lies in the word ’ahead.’

With good marketing, perhaps they could overtake the first person who started the lingerie business.

Ji Nishang undoubtedly is a career-oriented person, but simultaneously, she has romantic aspirations, never losing her persistence in Xiao Shiqing.

Her cousin’s beloved has married; even the strongest fate is severed. Her cousin not wanting to marry now is fine; she can afford to wait, as long as her aunt supports her, she can always keep waiting.

Qu Fulan, meanwhile, is busy daily with her business. She’s also managing household affairs without neglect, thoroughly ensuring everything, though some flaws exist. But humans are not perfect, and both the old lady and Madam Pei are satisfied with what they see.

However, someone is dissatisfied, none other than Master Lu, who has disapproved of Qu Fulan for a long time.

A maid becoming the Young Lady is in itself a joke, but it’s undeniable that Heir Pei had foresight, overly protective of this Qu Fulan, having sought a marriage decree in advance—otherwise Qu Fulan’s identity would have been uncovered long ago.

At this point, Master Lu won’t cling to Qu Fulan’s identity; opposing the imperial decree is foolish, and she’s not that muddle-headed.

Besides, what’s Qu Fulan’s identity got to do with her? She only focuses on the impact of the entire affair, or more accurately, its impact on Pei Mansion’s first family, and on the Marquis.

After all, Marquis Pei, famous throughout life, would find it a loss if tarnished by a girl.

"Logically, these words shouldn’t be said by me. Due to past sentiments, not saying anything now might lead to error later, unsettling my heart. Madam has returned after years of absence; affairs of the inner household should be managed by you."

Due to Marquis Pei’s return, Master Lu was brought out, returning to her original residence.

That day, she went to visit Madam Pei in the first family.

Madam Pei felt somewhat ashamed from Master Lu’s words; truth be told, she hadn’t managed the household since marrying into Pei Mansion. Back then, the old lady still had energy and managed everything, allowing her to focus on military matters, lacking the mindset for household management.

Later, when there was a sister-in-law, the sister-in-law managed the household, always without lack of someone to manage.

Now, her legs can’t function, and she can’t be on the battlefield; logically, she’s the one who should manage the household. After all, children in each residence have established their own families, how could she continue to bother others with managing hers?

But her daughter-in-law was capable, allowing her to enjoy leisure.

"I think my daughter-in-law manages quite well." Madam Pei said.

Master Lu disapprovingly looked at Madam Pei, "So young, knowing what is important and what is not? A slight misstep later and would you and the Marquis still have your reputation?"

"How could it be that serious? It’s just managing an inner household; what could go wrong?" Madam Pei was unwilling to think negatively.

"Leaving aside prevention, she is frequently out and away from home; where’s the modesty a woman should possess? Moreover, she is married, now the Young Lady, should abide by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues..."

The person required to adhere to the Three Obediences and Four Virtues is currently at Prince Qing Mansion, discussing with Princess Qing and others regarding the Dragon Boat Festival.

Princess Qing, Tao Wan, Zou Yun, Miss Yu, Miss Zhou, Miss Yuan were all present.

These people have been playing together since Princess Qing was not yet a princess, holding good relations with each other.

Regarding Princess Qing inviting Young Lady Pei into their circle, the supporters and opponents were equally divided.

Tao Wan was the first to oppose, arguing inviting Young Lady Pei would insult Miss Yu.

Princess Qing felt this wasn’t an issue, saying Miss Yu was now discussing marriage, past matters were bygone.

Indeed, Princess Qing felt a kinship with Young Lady Pei upon first meeting—encountering a kindred spirit in life is rare. Wanting to build friendship, she insisted on inviting her into her circle, forcing others to accept it reluctantly.
