Business opportunity

  Xiao Congrong was stunned, she did notice that some shops had a Chu character on them, but indeed didn't associate those shops with the young master in front of her who seemed to only know how to eat, drink and have fun. She self-mockingly said with a hint of embarrassment: "I've heard of it before, I wasn't paying attention... Xiao Congrong is really narrow-minded!"

  She glossed over it lightly, but from the way Rongrong had been devoted to Wu Mingyuan in the past, she probably couldn't fit any other man into her eyes. This explanation should be able to fool people, right?

  As expected, Chu Qingkong's face revealed that detestable, ambiguous smile again. His thin lips curled up as he said: "I don't have much time in the capital, coming and going, I've only met Third Miss three times including today, it's normal for Third Miss to not notice me!"

  Xiao Cong Rong felt at ease as soon as he heard it, having met three times was just a casual acquaintance, so there was no need to worry that his fox-like eyes would discover she was different from the former Xiao Cong Rong!

  She turned her eyes and asked first: "Chu Gongzi, I heard from Chunrui that you know a divine doctor. Can you introduce me to him?"

  "Chu is not a person who speaks lightly, if he said so, he will definitely introduce the third miss! It's just that the divine doctor likes to wander around and is currently nowhere to be found... Chu has already sent someone to investigate, as soon as there is news, he will invite him to come and take a look at the third miss's leg..."

  Xiao Cong Rong listened with a smile, his lips slightly curled up, as if smiling but not quite.

  Chu Qing saw her smile, raised an eyebrow and put his hand on his chest: "If Third Miss doesn't believe it, Second Prince can be a witness. If Chu has spoken falsely, may heaven strike me with lightning!"

  She felt a bit embarrassed by his seriousness, as she was used to the insincere words of modern people. Although she didn't know what kind of person Chu Qingkuang was, ancient people placed great importance on their vows. She had forced him into making such a promise, and now it seemed excessive.

  Chu Qing was furious again, and she wasn't someone he could trifle with. Even if he said he wouldn't do it, she had no right to pressure him!

  Busy himself to extricate, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip and put it down.

  In this era, the tea leaves didn't have the refined processing techniques of modern times, and the taste was much worse. Chu Qingkuang was a man who enjoyed life's pleasures, and his tea was already far better than the tea from the Xiao estate, but it still had some bitterness to it. Xiao Zongrong really didn't like it, and every time he drank tea, he would think of his father's fragrant Maojian tea leaves, wondering how much silver he could exchange them for if he sold them to Chu Qingkuang.

  It's said that time-travelers see gold everywhere; suddenly, Xiao Zong felt this was a business opportunity.

  With her personality, she didn't ask for a single penny from home when she was in college. Now that she's become the third miss who isn't liked by her family, it would be beneath her dignity to go back and ask for money, so she'd rather...

  She gazed thoughtfully at Chu Qingkong, deep in thought. The Chu family had so many shops; if she wanted to live a carefree life without relying on the Xiao family's power, the person before her was undoubtedly the best partner. But... could she trust him?

  "Third Miss... Ah!" Wu Mingzheng's gentle cough brought her drifting thoughts back, and she turned to look at Wu Mingzheng's face, which resembled Xu Zheng's, causing her heart to skip another beat.

  Since she discovered that Wu Ming looked exactly like Xu Zheng, she subconsciously avoided looking at him. The scene of being killed by him before crossing over was a pain in her heart forever!

  The pain didn't ease because she was reborn, and every deep night when she was awakened by nightmares, she clearly felt the pain in her chest where Xu Zheng stabbed her, as if it had just happened a moment ago...
