The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

Everyone's eyes turned to Su Ye.

Su Ye cleared his throat, straightened his body, put away his folding fan, tapped his palm and said:

"Merchants, if Pingyang City has goods to sell to other cities, in exchange for silver, you can buy things from other cities to make money."

Hearing this, Qin Jun looked at Su Ye in surprise and said, "Mr. Su, are you a business man?"

Su Ye smiled brilliantly, pacing and showing off: "Of course, my mother told me that every day when I was a child.

The purpose of business is profit, so don’t forget the roots while making profit.

Those who benefit themselves but not others are small merchants.

Those who benefit themselves and others are great merchants.

If it benefits others but not oneself, then it is not a businessman.

Those who harm others to benefit themselves are unscrupulous businessmen.

You must remember: A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way.

If the interests of the guest and mine are equal, the guest will stay for a long time.

I will benefit in the long run, and it will be a win-win situation for both sides.”

Su Ye looked at Lin Wanwan with an expression that looked like he was asking for praise:

"Hehe, Master Lin... am I right? These are just items that can be traded in Pingyang City..."

Lin Wanwan's eyes showed approval: "Yes, those who benefit others but not themselves are not businessmen. So if you give them money, it won't last long."

Zi Tan smiled and said, "Since I met Su Ye, he only knew how to spend money. I didn't expect that he could also make money?"

Qin Jun frowned and asked, "Su Ye, are you telling the truth this time?"

Su Ye smiled and said, "Really? I told you, my mother is a famous businessman, and I have been interested in business since I was a child.

When he was young, he secretly took valuable things from home to pawn and traded them, and over time he got the reputation of a playboy.

But my father wouldn't let me, and he thought that men should go into government, so he forced me to read strategies for governing a country since I was a child.

If I can help these people, my trip will not be in vain."

Lin Wanwan smiled when she heard what he said, and then said:

"Since you have this intention, it's too late today. Tomorrow morning, I will go find you and go to Pingyang City to look around and see if we can find something good and find a way to make a fortune through trade."

Su Ye smiled brightly and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Zitan stood in front of Lin Wanwan, bowed slightly, and then said bluntly:

"Mr. Lin, I heard that you are well versed in business. I am confused and would like to ask you something."

Lin Wanwan said calmly: "You say."

Zi Tan looked very apologetic: "When we first met in Hongyue Tower, why did you only want 200 taels of Su Ye's reward of 10,000 taels?"

At this time, the inn was quiet and silent, and everyone was waiting for Lin Wanwan to give an answer.

Lin Wanwan looked at Zitan softly, “At that time, this young master was weak.

Being weak but having a lot of wealth is not a good thing.

Only two hundred taels would not arouse suspicion from those people in the West Courtyard. If he got ten thousand taels, or if he got more, once the news spread, those people in the West Courtyard of the Princess's Mansion would become wary.

Being alert will make people smarter, more cautious and less likely to make mistakes."

Zitan asked again: "Then why did Master Lin accept Prince Yong's gift?"

Lin Wanwan said: "That is Prince Yong's wealth and power, and you can receive it just by benefiting from Prince Yong.

If you can make yourself live comfortably, why should you live too hard? "

Zi Tan was full of respect in her heart. She understood and bowed again: "Thank you, Master Lin, for your guidance."

……

Qian Wanguan's home.

The ruffian Zhao Liu thought about it carefully. Although he couldn't accomplish the task, he still wanted to get the reward. After all, his hand was really broken.

"Master Qian! Master Qian!" Zhao Liu staggered into the house, tears streaming down his face and his eyes full of fear and pain.

His originally strong body now looked extremely hunched, with his hands hanging limply at his sides in an unnatural and twisted posture.

Qian Wanguan glanced at him with a serious expression: "What's wrong with you!"

"Master Qian! I...I went there for several days and was beaten!"

Zhao Liu sobbed, his voice trembling and hoarse.

"That guy Luo Mingyuan hired some thugs, so I can't do anything to him!"

Qian Wanguan sat on the carved armchair, glaring at Zhao Liu fiercely, and said with gnashing teeth:

"Bah! You're useless! You can't even handle such a small matter!"

Zhao Liu fell to his knees with a thud, choking with sobs:

"Those thugs were so vicious that I was discovered as soon as I approached them. They broke my hands without saying a word."

He raised his head and looked at Qian Wanguan with pleading eyes.

"Mr. Qian, look! You must avenge me!

Master Qian, I don’t know how Luo Mingyuan got so lucky that someone came to his aid and injured several of our brothers.

Who will dare to work for you, Mr. Qian, in the future?"

After hearing this, Qian Wanguan's triangular eyes widened, the flesh on his face trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Damn it! There are actually people in Pingyang City who dare to ruin my good deeds!"

Zhao Liu rolled his eyes and added fuel to the fire, "That's right. They also said that Qian Wanguan is nothing and they want to beat him until he kneels down and calls them grandpa..."

Qian Wanguan was so angry that his fat fingers tightly grasped the armrest as if he wanted to crush it.

After a moment, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he said viciously:

"Humph, Luo Mingyuan. Do you think you can escape from my grasp like this?"

Qian Wanguan waved his hand and said, "Go find the butler and get thirty taels. Take a good look at your hands."

"Thank you, Mr. Qian! Thank you, Mr. Qian!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Liu went to the housekeeper to collect the silver.

After seeing Zhao Liu leave, Qian Wanguan stood up and paced back and forth in the room, secretly calculating in his mind.

Not a moment later.

"Come here, prepare a generous gift and go to the Pingyang City Lord's Mansion."

Soon, in a luxurious mansion in Pingyang City.

Qian Wanguan and Pingyang City Mayor Zhang Xiaodi were sitting at a table filled with delicious food.

Qian Wanguan smiled widely, toasted him with a full glass of wine and said:

"Lord City Lord, as long as you can help me accomplish this and let me get Luo Mingyuan's cotton field, you will certainly get the benefits."

As he spoke, he winked and his men beside him immediately presented a box of gold, silver and treasures.

Zhang Xiaodi narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the box of treasure, coughed lightly and said:

"Boss Qian, this matter is not easy to handle. I have received news that Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan, from Jingdu City, will arrive in Pingyang City soon.

I don’t want to cause trouble at this time.”

Qian Wanguan said cheerfully: "It's useless even if the princess comes. Isn't the sky of Pingyang City the Lord of the City? Besides, this is the government of Xuanyue Country, and the people in power are all men.

The princess is a woman, and she came to Pingyang City. She might have made a mistake and was punished by His Majesty. She can't take care of the land."

Zhang Xiaodi ate his meal and drank a glass of wine with a serious face without answering.

Qian Wanguan hurriedly took the wine cup and filled his glass with wine, and said with a smile: "My Lord City Lord, I have prepared some other gifts for you, please pass them to the princess on my behalf.

Maybe if the princess is happy, the city lord will rise to prominence."

"You are still the one who knows how to do things." Zhang Xiaodi heard this and drank another glass of wine, then nodded with satisfaction:

"But...since you are so sincere, I will try my best to find a solution."

Qian Wanguan was overjoyed and quickly offered another glass of wine: "Then I will rely entirely on you, sir."

……

The next morning.

Qin Jun discovered that since Situ Liuyun fell in Qingqing's room, he had been fiddling with some medicine in the room, not speaking or leaving the room.

"Doctor Situ, are you feeling better today?"

Situ Liuyun was distributing medicine at the table and replied, "Much better."

Qin Jun said: "Then please ask Doctor Situ to treat Qingqing. After all, you are..."

Situ Liuyun's whole body tensed up, his eyes wandering: "The treatments for knife wounds are all similar."

Qin Jun's face darkened.

Situ Liuyun thought for a moment and said, "I'll go later."

Qin Jun bowed and said, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Situ."

After saying that, Qin Jun walked out of the room and headed towards Qingqing's room.

Seeing him leave, Situ Liuyun also stopped what he was doing and thought to himself: I can't let them focus on Qingqing all the time, I have to think of a way...

After analyzing it, he found that Su Ye was the simplest and easiest to provoke.

Situ Liuyun curled his lips, packed his clothes and went out.

……

Lin Wanwan woke up very late today.

While Zitan was dressing Lin Wanwan, the sound of other guests' conversation outside the corridor came into the house.

"Have you heard? The bailiffs went to Luo Mingyuan's house early this morning.

"What? Luo Mingyuan is such a good man, but he's going to be arrested!"

"Really? Why did the city lord arrest Luo Mingyuan?"

"Don't believe it? Why don't you go out and take a look?"

"Hey, if he is captured by the city lord, he will suffer."

When Lin Wanwan heard this, she was shocked and subconsciously stood up and walked out the door.

The moment she opened the door, a famous guard from the Zijin Kingdom appeared in front of her and respectfully presented her with a gift in a box.

Lin Wanwan looked at the two of them warily.

A guard handed the gift to Lin Wanwan and bowed respectfully. He said, "Mr. Lin, this is a gift from my son. Please accept it."

Lin Wanwan was puzzled that Mu Han had even picked two guards who could speak the language of Xuan Yue Country to send him.

"Master Lin, my master said that we should watch Master Lin open it in person. There will be a surprise."

Lin Wanwan frowned, looking at the gift in the guard's hand, and had a bad feeling in her heart. She immediately said in a deep voice: "Zitan, where is Qin Jun?"

Zitan said, "When I came here just now, I saw him delivering breakfast to Qingqing."

Lin Wanwan said: "Go and call him over."

Zitan nodded and walked back to her guest room. She saw Qin Jun sitting beside the bed, holding a spoonful of porridge in his hand and carefully bringing it to Qingqing's mouth.

Qingqing was half leaning on the pillow, her face slightly pale, but the look in her eyes as she looked at Qin Jun revealed sweetness and dependence.

Qin Jun said: "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Zi Tan stood at the door and cleared her throat: "Qin Jun, Master Lin wants you to come over."

Qin Jun quickly put down the bowl, picked up the sword beside him, stood up, and passed by Zitan.

Zitan looked at Qingqing's appearance, smiled, and followed Qin Jun to find Lin Wanwan.

Qingqing's face turned red for a moment.

Lin Wanwan saw Qin Jun coming from outside the door and said, "Qin Jun, come and open it."

Qin Jun nodded, walked forward, took the gift box, and could faintly smell an unpleasant odor inside:

"This is?"

The guard who presented the gift said, "This is a gift from my young master."

At this time, Su Ye heard the voice and came out of the guest room. Thinking about Mu Han's appearance and the gift he gave to Lin Wanwan, he immediately felt that Mu Han was also here to poach girls.

He had finally been able to come along and develop a relationship with the princess, so how could he let Mu Hanruyi interfere?

Su Ye came up quickly and said, "Come on, what's the gift? Let me see."

Su Ye snatched the gift box from Qin Jun's hand and opened it. The moment he opened it, a strong smell of blood hit him in the face.

Su Ye looked carefully and found that there was a human head inside!

"Ah!" Su Ye screamed and fell to the ground without even having time to cover his mouth and nose.

The gift was thrown to the ground, and the head rolled to the ground and rolled to the door of Qingqing's room next door.

"Ahhhh!" Qingqing was frightened by this sudden scene and screamed, her face turning pale in an instant.

When Qin Jun heard Qingqing's scream, his heart tightened. He picked up the head and put it back in the box.

Su Ye was still in shock. He stood up and walked to the two guards who were delivering gifts: "How dare you! How dare you scare us! Come! Call your son over!

Let me see how many mothers he has! If you have the guts…"

"Su Ye, shut up." Lin Wanwan looked at all this, suppressed the fear and anger in her heart, and quickly regained her composure.

Then, she said to the two guards, "Surprise, I received it. Please thank him for me."

Hearing this, the two guards nodded, turned around and left.

Ye Lan avoided their sight and stood beside Lin Wanwan: "Mr. Lin, they have been waiting for an hour, and I didn't make a move."

Lin Wanwan nodded: "Well done."
