Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Although Xia Bai'an cooperated with Li Chen, he is not ready to make this matter public.

Song Yuchu invited her into the private room next door, and was a little surprised.

On the contrary, Zhou Lan, who was straightforward, said, "I thought Boss Xia would invite us to sit inside, but unexpectedly, he came to sit in our private room instead."

"The businessman inside sneaked here without telling his family, for fear of being seen."

Xia Bai'an perfunctorily followed, while taking a look at Song Yuchu and Zhou Lan.

Since Xu Yan's affairs ended, Song Yuchu and Zhou Lan respected her somewhat, but Song Yuchu sincerely did business with her, but Zhou Lan mentioned the difficulty of making cosmetics from time to time, and argued with her several times .

Xia Bai'an was not afraid to talk to Song Yuchu, but he was afraid of arguing with the craftsmen, which made Zhou Lan a little bit afraid.

You came and I went a few times, Zhou Lan also found that Xia Bai'an, who looked fierce on the outside, was a soft persimmon on the inside, as long as what she said was right, she would silently act like a dumpling and let others rub her.

Zhou Lan said again: "Boss Xia always knows such strange people, but I tried to make some of the various flower-scented cosmeceuticals you mentioned before, but the effect is not very good, and the medicinal smell is hard to dissipate."

Xia Bai'an smiled after listening.

"The smell of medicine is hard to dissipate, because you don't know much about the ingredients of these medicines. If you can, you can spare an hour a day to go to Tongji Hall and learn some pharmacology. Over time, you will naturally be able to master it."

"You really ask a lot, and you're not afraid that I'll walk away?" Zhou Lan raised her chin.

"Don't be afraid. You claim to be the best master in Pinxiang Pavilion, how can you shrink back because of this little smell of medicine?"

Xia Bai'an looked at her with his face propped up.

Zhou Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, showing impatience, but she didn't intend to refute.

On the other hand, Song Yuchu who was next to him shook his head helplessly when he heard the two of them coming and going.

"Boss Xia, don't always tease Xiaolan. I came to see you today because I actually have something else to talk about."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"About Captain Mo Che." Song Yuchu added a cup of tea for her, "We encountered bandits on the way to the merchant, and fortunately Captain Mo Che and others rescued us. I wanted to thank you, but the merchant asked There is one thing that I don't understand."

Mo Che?

Not right.

Xia Bai'an's eyes darkened. Mo Che and others were marching to destroy Hong Yao, so they must be careful wherever they passed, not to startle the enemy, so as not to let the opponent flee.

However, there were not a few people who met Mo Che and his party, and most of them were merchants.

In this way, Mo Che and others clearly wanted to destroy Hong Yao, but they took the road that easily exposed their whereabouts.

She couldn't help worrying: "Did something weird happen?"

Song Yuchu said: "It's not a weird thing, it's just that the people under Captain Mo Che forced our merchants to ask if they came from a certain mountain village. We complained a few times. It's not a big deal at all, it's just...we found some bad things in the goods."

After finishing speaking, Song Yuchu looked at Zhou Lan with some embarrassment.

Zhou Lan quickly took out a palm-sized wooden box from her arms and opened it.

Inside was a severed finger.

Xia Bai'an showed surprise, and quickly closed the wooden box: "You guys are suspicious, this thing is..."

"We don't dare to keep that box of goods. But according to the merchant, only Captain Mo Che's subordinates have opened this box for inspection, and at that time Captain Mo Che and others were covered with blood... I I always feel that this matter is a bit weird, so I came here to talk to you." Song Yuchu also asked Zhou Lan to put the box away again.

Zhou Lan followed suit and nodded: "I know that you and Captain Mo Che are a couple who share weal and woe, but according to what my sister said, most of the rich and powerful in the capital dislike the poor and love the rich, and there are also people who are separated from their pillows. If Mo Che is out, he is bloodthirsty. The person who killed him had a violent temper, so he came here to remind him."

After hearing this, Xia Bai'an felt more helpless than bitter.

Zhou Lan and Song Yuchu are indeed from the capital, and like Miao Linlang, they are real businessmen.

Rather than relying on men and powerful people to climb all the way, these two businessmen stick to their hearts and are unwilling to succumb to the backyard.

But she didn't expect that the two of them came here to mention something because they were afraid of Mo Che's tyrannical temper.

"Thank you for letting me know, but I know Mo Che's temperament best. He will not kill people for no reason. I will pay for this box of goods. Human favors are human favors. I can't let my friends lose money."

Song Yuchu shook his head: "There is no shortage of money for this box of goods, you just need to know that we treat each other sincerely."

Xia Bai'an thanked him again and again, and sat down and chatted for a while.

She wanted Zhang Qianqian to practice her eloquence.

So it took a long time to return to Li Chen's private room.

When she returned to the private room, she heard Li Chen talking.

"If Ms. Zhang likes the capital, she can accompany me to play around."

"Is it really possible?"

Zhang Qianqian's eyes lit up, and her calves were trembling with excitement.

Alarm bells rang in Xia Bai'an's mind.

This is no normal business talk.

Especially with a big brother in his 20s on one side, and a young girl sitting on the other half, it shouldn't be normal to make such a private invitation!

She hid the surprised expression on her face, put on a smile and walked forward, Shi Shiran sat down beside Zhang Qianqian.

"The prince's body is full of gold, and there are so many things to do every day, how can I take Qianqian to play around the capital?"

Xia Bai'an raised her beautiful eyes slightly, and the coldness in her eyes approached Li Chen.

The little girl is young, so she doesn't know the depth of society.

Doesn't she know the implication of these words?

Li Chen was glanced at like this, not only didn't feel angry, but raised the corners of his mouth.

"The king is free and has nothing to do."

"Then find something to do."

Xia Bai'an obviously used a joking tone, but quietly held Zhang Qianqian's hand under the table, and before the other party came back to his senses, he said to Wu Yue, "May, Qianqian made an appointment to go to Jinshang Pavilion for a test. Clothes, you should take her there first."

Zhang Qianqian was taken aback, is there such a thing?

Wu Yue, on the other hand, had sharp eyes and sensed that something was wrong, so she nodded and walked behind Zhang Qianqian, calling her up.

Zhang Qianqian followed Wuyue and left in a daze.

After the door was closed, Li Chen looked at Xia Bai'an with great interest, and rubbed the wall of the cup with his fingertips.

"Doctor Xia, this is..."

"To talk about business, there is no need for a little girl to sit on the table. In the future, I will talk with the prince."

"What if this king says he likes Miss Zhang very much?" Li Chen tilted his head slightly, propped his face with one finger, and sat lazily by the table.

"It's good for the lord to like it, but wishful thinking is the truth. Passionate love is just a trick to deceive oneself and others. The lord is so smart, he should understand the truth." With a smile on his face, Xia Bai'an personally poured a cup of tea for Li Chen and handed it to him .

Before she could stop her hand, her wrist was lightly pressed and pressed against the table.
