The man she imprisoned was a white-skinned

"Is that the concubine you snatched from the emperor?" Yan Liujing asked with interest.

"He is not a lover, but a sick person kept in my house." Meng Xuanhe scratched his head, not knowing how to explain to Yan Liujing. Fortunately, Yan Liujing was not interested in Xie Lin himself, so she just brushed it off.

"Cooking and cuisine, actually I don't know much about these things." Yan Liujing did not forget Meng Xuanhe's suggestion yesterday, but she has never been a lady from a wealthy family, and she doesn't know how to cook or do needlework.

"Why don't we open a blacksmith shop and specialize in making weapons?" Yan Liujing's eyes flashed with passion as she spoke. Meng Xuanhe suddenly felt that she was glowing all over.

It was so dazzling and hot that she could hardly open her eyes.

Is this the demeanor of a daughter of a general? If it were Yan Chengan, would he propose to open a brothel?

"Forget it. The weapons needed by the soldiers of Nanmeng Kingdom are all made by the Ministry of Industry. Ordinary people don't have so many swords and guns to buy. What's more, it takes too much time and money. I don't know when I can make the money back."

Although Yan Liujing was dazzling, Meng Xuanhe rejected her idea at the first opportunity.

Low cost and quick money are their primary considerations.

Yan Liujing also knew that his idea was not very practical, and he immediately felt deflated.

"I'm not very good at business. If I have to open a restaurant somewhere else, why not ask my mother?" Yan Liujing thought about it and found the best candidate.

"Don't worry, I told you that I want to open a restaurant. I didn't even tell Yan Chengan, so you can rest assured." Yan Liujing added, vowing not to expose Meng Xuanhe's affairs.

After thinking about it, Yan Liujing's proposal was feasible. Madam Song was a real lady from a noble family, and she lived in the noble circle of Bianjing. She had many connections on weekdays. Even if she went somewhere else, there would be people to take care of her, which was better than the two of them running around like headless flies.

So the matter was settled, with Meng Xuanhe paying the money, Yan Liujing being the shopkeeper, and her being the one behind the scenes.

Since they have decided to open a chain store, choosing a location is a big problem. But it is only spring now, so there is no rush. But Meng Xuanhe wants Yan Liujing to be the store manager, so she must know the store very well.

Not only do you have to learn how to check the account books, but you also have to learn some cooking skills and business methods, as well as the most distinctive dishes of their Zuixianju.

So Yan Liujing got busy, studying all the major business history books. She had the chivalrous heart of a man of the rivers and lakes, so she had no talent for doing these minor things, so she could only practice hard day after day.

Mrs. Song saw how hard Yan Liujing worked and felt sorry for her daughter. She was the daughter of a Duke, but she had to get up early every day to run a business.

The more guilty Mrs. Song felt towards her, the more she disliked Yan Chengan.

Poor little Master Yan felt that his mother was becoming more and more strict with him, often looking for trouble, and he seemed very confused. He had been much more obedient than before, so why was the pressure getting greater and greater?

Meng Xuanhe and Yan Liujing discussed and decided to split the profits of the chain stores 20:80, because she would also give the profits to Jialang, and Song He would give the remaining 60%.

After all, it was a partnership, so it was not good to take more or less. Besides, Song He and Yu Liu were busy in the kitchen every day, which was much more tiring than them.

When Nanny Wen learned that Meng Xuan's business was growing bigger and bigger, she was obviously surprised, as if she was afraid that the princess's identity would be exposed and arouse Meng Ziyan's suspicion.

"No, Miss Yan will keep my identity secret for me. Besides, with her around, I don't need to show up too often." Meng Xuan and Qian Qian smiled. Yan Liujing was of noble status, and she was the best candidate to run Zuixianju.

"Miss Yan, how could she?" Nanny Wen was even more surprised. She obviously didn't expect that Yan Liujing, who regarded the princess as a ferocious beast, would cooperate with his own princess.

So Meng Xuanhe briefly told Nanny Wen about their interactions.

"Cooperating with the Duke of Yan's Mansion is a good thing, but the princess still needs to be more careful." After listening to this, Nanny Wen also felt that the Duke of Yan's Mansion was the best candidate, but she still gave a few reminders.

"I know, Ma'am." Meng Xuanhe giggled and pulled Ma'am Wen's arm and acted coquettishly.

Xie Lin's health gradually recovered, and apart from the poison, he seemed to be no different from an ordinary person.

Lin Zhao would sometimes stay at the princess's mansion for a few days to monitor her whereabouts. So Meng Xuanhe would occasionally pull Xie Lin to play a trick, but the whip never fell on him.

"Golden and Silver Butterfly Gu, Wuxian Gu technique. The person who is poisoned loses his mind and memory, and obeys the words of the person who poisoned him. The Gu is very strong and inhumane, so it is listed as a forbidden technique..."

In addition to managing Chenxiangji and Zuixianju, Meng Xuanhe is trying every possible way to improve his painting skills. Today, he accidentally flipped through ancient books and found an unexpected gain.

This book is an extremely rare single copy, with a broken corner. She spent a lot of effort to piece this paragraph together. It must have been given to her by Meng Ziyan, the only one in the world.

She jumped up from the bed and looked at the words on the ancient book in astonishment.

Could it be that Xie Lin was poisoned by the golden and silver butterfly Gu?

The symptoms were so similar that, apart from the legendary forbidden technique, other ordinary small poisons could hardly achieve the level of Xie Lin. Meng Xuanhe did not dream of removing the poison, as it was a Wuxian forbidden technique that could only be removed by the Wuxian goddess from generation to generation.

Meng Xuanhe always felt that there was a close connection between the Wuxian forbidden technique, the Wuxian goddess, and how the princess got the Wuxian forbidden technique, but she had no way to find out.

As her worries proved fruitless, Meng Xuanhe decided to go out for a walk. She heard from her nanny that there was a library in Bianjing City that housed countless rare and unique books from the Southern Meng Kingdom, so she planned to go there and take a look.

If I can't find any information about the golden and silver butterfly Gu, it would be nice to improve my own painting skills.

She climbed out of the dog hole in the inner courtyard with ease, only to find a sneaky man standing outside the side wall of the princess's mansion.

The person was wearing a cloak and a straw hat, with a black veil covering her face. It was not difficult to tell from her graceful figure that she was a woman.

Meng Xuanhe spotted her first, but the man didn't seem to notice Meng Xuanhe. She was thinking about this matter, and this outfit reminded Meng Xuanhe of the mystery of the Wuxiang people.

She quietly followed the woman, wanting to see what she was going to do.

The woman in black was lying in the corner of the princess's mansion, listening attentively to the noise inside. Meng Xuanhe had already left the mansion, and the princess's mansion was quiet and silent. A trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes, and she turned around and prepared to leave.

Meng Xuanhe was hiding behind the bamboo forest when a cat happened to walk by her feet, stepping on a dead leaf, which made a rustling sound.

Oh no, Meng Xuanhe is so unlucky that he has no tears to cry.

The woman naturally noticed the movement here, and drew her sword, pointing it directly at Meng Xuanhe.
