MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 115

  Chapter 115

   "Not much." Pei You's voice seemed to be coming from an ancient well, with a chilly tone.

   While speaking, his brows and eyes were slightly retracted, and his eyes fell back on the scroll.

  Wen Ning knew that he would not be easy to talk to, so she continued her efforts: "My lord, it's just a dinner. My treat will not cost you a penny."

  Pei You laughed lowly: "How much money do I need from you?"

   "Then you just sit with me and enjoy the moon together?"

   "There may be rain tomorrow, and there will be no moonlight to enjoy."

   "Then go listen to the music?"

   "I'm busy with business, so I don't have time."

  Wen Ning's good temper was about to wear off, so she took a deep breath and suppressed her anger: "Then you give me some banknotes in advance? I've been married for two months, so you just paid me two thousand taels?"

   "In the agreement between you and me, there is no such thing as 'advance payment'."

   "Then consider it as your loan from me? I'll return it to you when I return to Beijing."

  Pei You was still looking at the scroll, his eyebrows and eyes remained motionless: "Not good."

  Wen Ningtang stood up from the chair, unable to pretend to be pleasant, and the good mood before was wiped out.

  For him, it was clearly an extremely simple matter. If she hadn't been too hasty when she left the house, why would she speak kind words to him so humbly? If it wasn't for the fact that he used Wen's residence to block the knife and dragged Wen Lan into the water, and if this matter was not good, he would be asked to intervene. Why would she come forward in person to negotiate business with that boss Qian?

  She stared at Pei You angrily for a moment, then turned around, threw off her shoes, and lay down on the bed angrily.

   But thinking that he would have to sleep with this person tonight, he sat up angrily.

  Pei You kept looking at the scroll.

  In the dead of night, the official post was already clean, and the only sound left in the room was the turning of pages.

  Wen Ning sat cross-legged on the bed, lowered her head and picked at her nails for a long while before she gradually recovered.

   No matter how angry Pei You is, she won't let go. She knows what he's doing, doesn't she?

   After deliberating for a while, Wen Ning spoke again: "I want to cooperate with the drug dealers in Qiantang, because Qiantang is rich in 'shiying', and when my medicine shop opens, I will hoard a lot of 'shiying'."

  Pei You will know these sooner or later, why not tell him now.

Wen Ning's voice was slow, and without waiting for Pei You to ask, she thought to herself: "I want to hoard 'shiying' because it is cheap in this season, and every winter the stone Ying withers, and the price will rise by five to six floors. I want to make money With a quick sum of money, you can buy out the Shi Ying in the market, and then you can sell them at two to three times the price."

  It is absolutely impossible for her to tell the truth to Pei You, so this rhetoric can barely explain it.

  Pei You finally put down the scroll in his hand, leaned against the window and looked at it leisurely: "Go up prices, earn ill-gotten gains?"

Wen Ning grabbed the sachet by her side, and said softly: "This is just a preliminary idea. The price of stone fluorescens is low, even if the price is two to three times higher, it is not expensive. How can it be regarded as price gouging? If you think... think I I searched for Min Zhi Min Ointment, and I will sell it at a lower price then. But when Shi Ying went from Qiantang to the capital, and bought it from the medicine dealer in the capital, the price would have doubled, so how could it be considered ill-gotten gains? At most... at most Relying on my money, I just earned the difference from the middleman."

  Pei You stared at her with heavy eyes. Although the distance was a little far away, the power to see through the eyes did not diminish.

  Wen Ning only felt that she was like his prisoner at this moment, with a thin layer of sweat on her back.

   "Why Shi Ying?" Pei You spoke again.

  Wen Ning closed her eyes silently, knowing that he would break the casserole and ask the end.

"Because Shiying is cheap." Wen Ning replied in a low voice, "Although I have money, I don't have that much money. If I want to buy other herbs, I can't buy most of them. And Shiying is far away in Qiantang. Boss Qian is conservative and cautious, and has never directly cooperated with the pharmacy, which gave me the opportunity to earn the difference."

  Pei You still stared at her idly, with a dark light in her eyes, and after a while, she withdrew her gaze: "Well, I see."

"So you agreed?" Wen Ning happily sat on the side of the bed, "Boss Qian is too cautious, he won't trust me no matter what. I don't need your money, you just need to have a meal with me tomorrow Fan, let him let go of his guard, and my cooperation with him will definitely be negotiated!"

  Pei You's visit to Qiantang this time, although not with much fanfare, is well known to everyone.

  While they drove from the port to Qiantang, many people discussed and pointed out under the carriage, and they voluntarily gave way to the official road.

  Boss Qian doesn't recognize her, so it's impossible not to recognize Pei You. As long as he catches her eating with Pei You and knows that she is not lying because she is backed by the Duke's mansion, his doubts and wariness towards her will naturally disappear.

  Pei You put down the scroll in his hand, and stroked his purple robe sleeve: "Are you using me as a raft?"

   Don't you also use me as a saber?

  Of course, Wen Ning would not have said such a thing and made the atmosphere tense after finally bringing the matter to this level.

She bypassed Pei You's question, blinked her eyes, and said softly: "It's just a meal. You always want to eat, don't you? Who do you want to eat with? Just this time tomorrow, you cooperate with me. I will never trouble you again."

  Wen Ning looked at Pei You expectantly.

  She wanted to know why he wanted to go to the medicine dealer in Qiantang to discuss business, and she racked her brains to explain it to him.

  He was soft but not hard, so she restrained her temper and coaxed him nicely.

   Now his mood should be in order, right?

  But he didn't want Pei You's eyelids to twitch quickly. He turned his eyes away, only looking at the dark night outside, and his voice was as cold as night: "Tomorrow has been arranged."

   "The day after tomorrow..."

   "Leave Qiantang early in the morning."

   "You..." Wen Ning only felt her breath rushing up, choking her so much that she couldn't speak the words behind her, and her eyes were sore from the blockage.

  She blinked, gritted her teeth and lay back on the bed, rolled up the quilt and turned her back to the outside of the bed, no longer speaking.

   There was no human voice in the room, and the silence returned to before, even worse than before.

   Looking at the dark night, Pei You gradually loosened his white fingertips.

   It's not impossible.

   It's not that it's impossible to suppress the urge to pamper her, but after suppressing it, she didn't overcome her own pleasure.

  He sat quietly by the window for a while before getting up to close the window.

   Just as he was about to blow out the candle, he suddenly heard two sniffling sounds.

  He looked towards the source of the sound.

  There were no more movements and sounds from the back.

   Probably his illusion.

  Pei You blew out the lamps and candles, and lay on the bed by the moonlight, also facing Wen Ning, the bed was not wide, but there was still an arm's distance between them.

   Just when he closed his eyes, he heard another sound of sniffling.

  This time the distance is much closer and much clearer.

  Pei You opened her eyes, turned over, and looked at Wen Ning's back.

Cried?

  Wen Ning did cry, not just for show, but for real.

   Pei You cried in anger.

  She didn't understand why Pei You insisted on fighting her like this. She had lied to him before, and it was true that she had fooled him, but shouldn't he have vented all his anger?

  She knew that he liked to be against her, so she gave way to him everywhere, and when she saw that he was soft and not hard, she patiently thought of ways to coax him with a soft attitude.

  It is true that she wants to use him as a raft, and it is true that she wants to use the prestige of the Duke's Mansion, but when he uses her, isn't it very straightforward?

  She just wanted him to have a meal with her. She used the name of the Duke's Mansion to cooperate with Boss Qian, and she didn't intend to do anything that would harm the country and the people. Why didn't she do what she wanted?

   She had the cheek to follow to Jiangnan, the journey was tiring, and she was ridiculed by him a lot. Seeing that she was only one step away, if she left Qiantang in the future, wouldn't it be a waste of success?

  The more Wen Ning thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, and tears began to flow down her face.

  Listening to the occasional sniffling sound, Pei You felt that he had another experience in his life that he had never experienced before.

  If Wen Ning smiled at him, it was as if she brushed her dense eyelashes over the tip of his heart, which was crisp and itchy, and her sniffing sound was like a hand pulling his heart.

   She sucked it, and that hand pulled it hard.

  Pei You put his hand on his forehead.

   After a long while, he stood up and pulled off the quilt covering the head of the person beside him. His voice was unconsciously soft: "Tomorrow's dinner, when is it? Where is the restaurant?"

   Get thinner today, and add more fat tomorrow~
