White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 115

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

While speaking, his brows and eyes were slightly drawn, and his eyes fell back to 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 doesn't cost you a penny."

Pei You laughed lowly: "What 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 song?"

"Busy work, no 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 have been married for two months, so you paid me 2000 taels?"

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

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

Pei You still looked at the scroll, her eyebrows and eyes remained motionless: "Not good."

Wen Ningteng stood up from the chair, unable to pretend to be amiable anymore, the previous good mood was wiped away.

For him, it was clearly an extremely simple matter. If she hadn't been too hasty when she went out, why would she speak kindly to him in such a humble manner?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 originally 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'. When my medicine shop opens, I will hoard 'shiying' in large quantities."

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

Wen Ning's voice was slow, and without waiting for Pei You to ask, she said to herself: "I want to stock up on 'shiying' because it is cheap in this season, and every winter when the stone Ying withers, 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: "To drive up prices and 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 considered price gouging? If you think... think I searched for Min Zhi Min Ointment, and then I sold it at a lower price. But when Shi Ying went from Qiantang to the capital, and bought it from the medicine dealer in the capital, the price would double, so how could it be considered ill-gotten gains? At most... At most, I relied on my money to earn the difference from the middleman."

Pei You stared at her with heavy eyes, although the distance was a little far away, but the coercion in her eyes that wanted to see through people 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 was still staring at her idly, with a dark light in her eyes, and after a while, she withdrew her eyes: "Well, I see."

"So you agreed?" Wen Ning happily sat on the side of the bed, "Boss Qian is too cautious to 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 there was no fanfare, everyone knew about it.

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

Boss Qian didn'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 sleeves: "Are you using me as a raft?"

Don't you also use me as a swordsman?

Of course, Wen Ning would not have said such a thing to make 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 negotiate business with the medicine dealer in Qiantang, 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 smooth, 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: "There are arrangements for tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow..."

"Leave Qiantang early in the morning."

"You..." Wen Ning could only feel her breath coming up in one breath, choking her so much that she couldn't speak, and her eyes were sore.

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, and said nothing more.

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

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

It is not impossible.

It's not that it's impossible to suppress the urge to pamper her, but after suppressing it, she doesn't have the desire to overcome her.

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 sniffles.

He looked towards the source of the sound.

There were no more movements or sounds from the back.

Probably his illusion.

Pei You blew out the 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 as I closed my eyes, I heard another sniffling sound.

This time it was closer and much clearer.

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

Cried?

Wen Ning was indeed crying, not for acting, but for real.

Pei You cried angrily.

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 knows that he likes to be against her, so she gives way to him everywhere, seeing that he is soft and not hard, she patiently thinks of ways to coax him with a soft attitude.

It's true that she wants to use him as a raft, and it's 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, and she used the name of the Duke's Mansion to cooperate with that boss Qian, and she didn't intend to do anything that would harm the country and the people, so why didn't it go as she wished?
She had the cheek to follow her to the south of the Yangtze River, and she was exhausted by boats and vehicles along the way, and she was also 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.

Hearing the occasional sniffing 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 the 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?"
