After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 201: Caused his teeth to ache

The second prince did not expect Shi Qingluo to suddenly say something like this.

If she were any other woman, shouldn’t she be blushing while being scrutinised by a man from a royal family with outstanding looks and temperament?

She was actually shameless to ask if he had never seen a beautiful girl like her before.

He was a prince, what kind of beautiful girl had he not seen before…

Shi Qingluo caused him to be lost for words.

Xi Rong glared at the second prince. “Second cousin, although my Luoluo is very beautiful, she is already married. Don’t look at her like that.”

Don’t think that she did not know that her second cousin, who portrayed himself decently, liked to use his charm on aristocratic ladies for them to fall for him and then marry him.

Could it be that he wanted to use the same method to seduce Luoluo?

However, it seemed like Luoluo didn’t fall for it.

Liang Hengshao thought to himself, she made him seem like he was coveting a married woman.

He put his hand to his lips and coughed. “Ahem, you’ve misunderstood. I was daydreaming just now.”

Shi Qingluo chuckled and didn’t say anything, but she revealed a look suggesting that she was trying to hide her explanation.

Liang Hengshao wanted to raise his hand to rub his forehead that was in between his eyebrows.

......

He had made a mistake today.

Since the cement recipe was announced, he had already noticed Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo.

He had also unintentionally discovered the relationship between Xiao Hanzheng and Xiao Yuanshi.

In addition, Fei Yuzhe and the others had gone to the Xiao family’s residence in Nanxi County. Mo Qingling was already on good terms with Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.

Hence, he got his people to pay more attention to this couple.

After the seeds offering incidents a few days ago, he also got a detailed report about Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.

He realised that Shi Qingluo, this village woman, was not simple, especially when she had a lot of ideas in her mind for making money.

She actually made his arrogant cousin think highly of her, and the two of them even wanted to open a cosmetics shop together.

He was very ambitious, and he did not want to be others’ subservient in the future, so he naturally had to fight for his status.

Money was very crucial for him to earn his status.

Otherwise, how would he be able to rope people in?

He had always been looking for ways to make money.

Previously, he had held back exploring the salt and mineral mines in Jiangnan as he knew that his father was very wary of this.

Hence, after he discovered that Shi Qingluo had the ability to “turn a stone into gold”, he wanted to rope her in.

He had his own way to deal with women.

He did not need to lure them in by force.

He only needed to make them pay attention to him, and it would just be a matter of time before he put them into good use.

Today, he heard that Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong had gone to the royal farm.

He understood Xi Rong’s personality.

She would definitely not be able to resist going to the nearby mountain to hunt, so he arranged an opportunity for Shi Qingluo to save him.

Then, he would use the excuse of repaying her to contact her and make her pay attention to him.

He did not need Shi Qingluo to do anything, he just needed her to give him some money-making ideas from time to time.

He did not intend to rope Xiao Hanzheng in.

After all, Xiao Yuanshi had already pledged his stand towards him.

With Xiao Hanzheng and Xiao Yuanshi’s relationship, it was impossible for them to get along well.

Between the two of them, he naturally had to give up one.

Who would have thought that Shi Qingluo did not play by the rules at all?

She was even more indifferent to him – an elegant prince of a noble status.

This was the first time he was defeated in front of a woman.

It also made him look at this woman, Shi Qingluo, seriously.

She was not simple, and his method of seducing a beautiful woman would no longer work.

If Shi Qingluo knew what the second prince was thinking, she would definitely be speechless.

Every day, she faced her handsome young husband who looked like a banished immortal.

She was already immune to handsome men.

Besides, she was not that desperate that she would come to a halt when she saw a handsome man approaching.

She had her own set of principles.

.

Of course, there was an exception when she first met her young husband.

His beauty had mesmerised her till she took the initiative to marry into the Xiao family.

After drinking the ginger soup, Shi Qingluo felt that her body was a little warmer.

Xi Rong rubbed her hands and said, “The weather is starting to get cold. I don’t like winter at all.”

Winter was cold.

She only wanted to stay in the house and could not go out to play.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “I also prefer spring and autumn.

“When I go back, I’ll get someone to bring you a sweater and a pair of trousers. It’ll keep you warm after you put them on.”

Before she left, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law could already knit sweaters and trousers.

When she went back, she would open a knitting workshop and hire women and young girls to knit clothings for sale.

Xi Rong asked in confusion, “What are sweaters and trousers?”

“It’s clothes knitted from wool after spinning them into thread. They’re soft and warm.

“What colour do you want? I’ll dye them and give you a set.”

She had successfully dyed them into different colours.

Xi Rong’s eyes lit up. “I want red and purple.”

She joked again, “Luoluo, you’re too nice. I want to marry you.”

Shi Qingluo chuckled. “Then you won’t have the chance. I only like my young husband.”

Liang Hengshao, who was listening to the two of them, was speechless.

One of them really dared to say it, while the other was daring to answer it.

It also caused his teeth to ache.

She only liked her young husband. Was Xiao Hanzheng that good?

It was the first time he had heard a woman being so straightforward.

Xi Rui and the others also had similar reactions when they just knew Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng, but they were already used to it now.

Xi Rui came over. “Qingluo, Where’s mine? Don’t forget about me.”

According to his own interpretation, clothes made of wool would definitely be very warm.

That was why sheeps could survive outdoors during winter, and their fur kept them warm..

Moreover, he absolutely believed in Shi Qingluo’s creations.

Liang Youxiao and Fei Yuzhe also said hurriedly, “And me too.”

They had never heard of sweaters and trousers made from wool.

Therefore, wearing them to keep warm was only one of the reasons.

It was also important for them to be able to stand out in the capital.

Shi Qingluo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Alright, I won’t miss out on you guys.”

She was still very generous to her friends.

She asked, “There are black, cyan, blue, and dark red for men. What colour do you guys want?”

Xi Rui liked to be flashy. “Dark red!”

Liang Youxiao also liked to be in the spotlight. “Blue.”

Fei yuzhe said seriously, “I want cyan.”

Black was too stuffy and wasn’t suitable.

Shi Qingluo noted their choices mentally. “Okay, after I leave, write down the size of the clothes you usually wear and give it to my husband.”

They were all men.

It wasn’t appropriate for her to handle their sizes.

She added, “Then, he will take it to the sweater workshop and get someone to knit them for you.”

The older women specialised in knitting men’s clothes, so they did need to fear that others might gossip about it.

The younger woman would knit women’s clothes.

Xi Rui said, “You’re not the one who’s knitting!”

Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes at him. “Even if I want to knit, it’s for my husband. What are you thinking about?”

Xi Rui and the others were speechless.

They were so jealous of Xiao Hanzheng.

Of course, they were just jealous that Xiao Hanzheng could get the things that Shi Qingluo had created first.

They didn’t have any other thoughts.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll find an old lady to help you knit. After all, you guys haven’t gotten married yet, so you have to avoid suspicion.”

Xi Rui and the others muttered under their breath, we really have to thank you then, although you don’t need to do this.
