Chapter 1183: Chapter 1181: Do You Need a Beating?

Let’s not talk about how joyful Ah Jiu was upon receiving a so-called love letter from someone. After Bai Xiaobai had a refreshing nap and freshened up, he went to Wufu’s study, bearing the strange looks from the servants, to have a conversation.

First, he conveyed Ah Jiu’s message like a megaphone, then he revealed the intention to protect the Crown Prince for two years.

"Protect the Crown Prince of Nanyue for two years?" Wufu was somewhat surprised. "What’s the reason?"

Bai Xiaobai nodded, "Whatever he says, I’ll do. You make the arrangements."

Wufu said, "Got it. Since you’re here, just as well, Jadeite and I discussed producing a few more cosmetics. Oh, and it’s best to develop some kind of sacred beauty products, like scar removal ointments. Write down the herbs you need."

"Those aren’t ordinary cosmetics, you can’t just sell them like cabbage!" Bai Xiaobai widened his eyes.

Wufu gave him a side-eye, "Who said I would sell them like cabbage? Even if you want to, I wouldn’t agree. It’s best to sell them in limited quantities, making them expensive and scarce."

The rarer something is, the more valuable it becomes. If such sacred beauty products truly work, people would willingly pay a fortune to buy them. At that time, we might even struggle to meet the demand!

"But they’re not something you can just whip up easily. The herbs, you know? That’s the key." Bai Xiaobai snorted.

"That’s why you need to list what herbs you need so I can have them found." Wufu looked at him as if he were dumb, needing things spelled out so clearly.

Bai Xiaobai, feeling insulted, grumbled, "I know I’m destined to suffer. Each one of you is set on working me to the bone."

Wufu squinted, "Don’t you want your wedding funds? Business at Zining Pavilion is booming right now."

Bai Xiaobai boasted proudly, "It’s all because I made great products."

"So, we must strike while the iron is hot. You have to understand, the river flows forward, and the new waves of the Yangtze push the old ones. If we don’t launch new products, Changan City has so many shops that Zining Pavilion could soon be overshadowed," Wufu coaxed.

Bai Xiaobai responded, "You better not embezzle my share of the Silver dividends."

Wufu was extremely annoyed, "Is there something wrong with you? Watch what you’re saying."

Bai Xiaobai saw her raising her fist and remembered she was a violent woman. Although he was skilled in medicine and poisons, he lacked martial arts skills. He couldn’t beat her.

Thinking of this, he shrank his neck and said, "I was just joking, see how serious you got."

Wufu glanced at him sideways, giving a look that said she didn’t believe a word he said.

Bai Xiaobai awkwardly replied, "I’ll discuss the new products with Jadeite, alright!"

Now that’s more like it!

"Hmm, you should go rest. We’ve recently got a new cook named Shui Jing who makes excellent dishes. I’ll ask her to prepare something delicious to nourish you. Look at you so skinny, tsk tsk, no wonder Mo Lan can lift you!" Wufu glanced at him disdainfully.

When Bai Xiaobai heard about the delicious food, his eyes lit up, but then his brain went blank at the latter part of her comment, "What do you mean Mo Lan lifted me?"

Wufu chuckled to herself, "Yesterday you fainted. Did you think you’d manage to get back to your room by yourself?"

Bai Xiaobai’s face was wooden, with a bad premonition in his heart, "So?"

"So Mo Lan personally carried you back to your room! A princess carry, how delightful!" Wufu squinted her eyes and smiled.

"Mo Lan!" Bai Xiaobai darted out like the wind, "Shameless, I’ll kill you!"

For a proud man like him to be given a princess carry by a woman was a complete humiliation.
