Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten

Just as Zhao Yumo was about to say something, Yun Xi stretched out her hand and pulled her back.

“Zhou Chengzhe… Li Sinuo played you for a fool, and even after Liang Xinyi came, you fell for the same tricks again. You have no one else to blame for your own stupidity. You claimed that I was the one to frame you, but where’s the evidence? If you really do have proof, then I’m not afraid to confront them face to face in front of the principal. But you have no evidence! Yet you try to slander me, so you have to bear the consequences!”

“You…” Evidence? He can’t show any evidence at all!

This entire incident was a trap he had set up by himself, but instead of trapping Yun Xi, he fell into it himself!

Yun Xi blinked nonchalantly. She was tired of wasting her time talking to Zhou Chengzhe, so she ended the conversation with her final sentences.

“Zhou Chengzhe, you’re not stupid. How did you end up in this position? I’m sure you know in your heart what you did wrong. I know you’ve learned not to provoke me again. Otherwise, what happened to Liang Xinyi is bound to happen to you too.”

He was just another trying to climb up the social ladder. If she can take care of one, she can take care of a dozen! After what she had gone through with Han Yaotian, dealing with a rooking like Zhou Chengzhe was no big deal!

Upon seeing the old man out, Yun Xi prescribed medication and gave it to Zhao Yumo. Now that she has asked her to take the medicine, she can ask another family in the village to help decoct the mixture. Once the medicine has been decocted, the housekeeper can bring the old man over to drink the decoction.

She had no choice but to rely on others to help her. The smell of the decocting medicine is too strong and too conspicuous.

Fortunately, the neighbors that Yumo knew in the village were willing to help her out, so she had nothing to worry about.

However, Yun Xi found the entire process to be troublesome. She couldn’t help but wonder if she should just let her second aunt’s pharmaceutical factory prepare the medicinal liquid, then seal it in small, portable packages. That would save them the trouble of having to run outside to drink the medicine to avoid being discovered.

In this era, there was no such thing as traditional Chinese medicine. In her last life, this type of pre-packaged medicine was as common as normal saline and could be found in pharmacies everywhere.

If her second aunt’s pharmaceutical factory could approve of the request to produce, package and prescribe the Chinese liquid medicine, it could turn out to be a very profitable source of income.

Yun Xi pondered this possibility. She was so lost in thought that she didn’t even bother to have dinner at Zhao Yumo’s house. Instead, she asked the driver to take her home.

As soon as she exited the gate of the villa area, a black car appeared out of nowhere to block her own car.

Her driver frantically stepped on the brakes. Yun Xi glanced at the license plate of the car that was blocking her car. The license number was a series of 2’s and belonged to none other than Jiang Chenghuan.

Yun Xi quickly communicated with her driver, then she pushed the door open and stepped out of the car.

Jiang Chenghuan rolled down his car window and took a look at her. “Get in the car. I have something to tell you, and I will take you home along the way.”

Yun Xi nodded. She walked to the passenger side and got into the car.

Inside, the car engine started. Yun Xi turned to face Jiang Chenghuan. He leaned over and handed her the take-out box from the back seat.

Jiang Chenghuan squinted his eyes playfully and teased her with a half-hearted smile, “I heard that your family recently decided to go vegan. What’s that for? Have you converted into a Taoist? Or are you planning to become a monk? If you become a monk, our young marshal might send a missile to the Taoist temple!”

Yun Xi snorted softly and shot him a sullen look. She looked down at the food in the take-out box; it was chicken drumsticks and barbecued pork served on rice.

“If you have something to say, then just say it. I’m here to listen!”

“It’s nothing serious. It’s just that recently, someone became very angry and used the power of the Mu family to deal with Han Zhongteng. Han Zhongteng allegedly lost hundreds of millions in the last few days.”

Yun Xi was taken aback and immediately stopped gnawing on the chicken legs. She turned to face Jiang Chenghuan. “And what does this have to do with me?”

“It doesn’t matter, actually. But whoever is doing this is being very impulsive. If the Han family was to fall now, the Zhao family will have no way of taking over the position as one of the four top prominent families. Not with the current strength of the Zhao family, anyway. You’re a smart person, so you should be able to get what I’m saying.”

Yun Xi nodded. She understood that Second Master Jiang was looking at her as a lobbyist.
