There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 314 Meeting Aunt Bi

Li Shuchen frowned slightly: "Sir, your wife and your daughter received different essential oils. Won't you be jealous?"

Mr. Jin put his feet up on the table and said, "Young lady, you're certainly meddling. I don't have a daughter, and my tigress at home would never even see this full-size bottle of essential oil, let alone be jealous."

Huh? Li Shuchen was dumbfounded.

It's not my daughter, it's...

Li Shuchen composed himself and said kindly, "Sir, you seem quite wealthy and don't seem to care about such a small amount. Why not buy your wife a full-size bottle of essential oil? It would be a very presentable gift, and she would surely be very happy."

Upon hearing this, Boss Jin waved his hand and refused, saying, "Young lady, don't try to persuade me. I know what I'm doing. Do as I say, or I'll smash your shop."

My goodness, what a fierce nouveau riche!

But who is Li Shuchen? Is she afraid of trouble?

"Eighth and Ninth Brothers"

At a shout, two female warriors drew their swords and charged forward.

The nouveau riche was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his leg.

Li Shuchen's lips curled into a wicked smile as he said in a seemingly amused tone, "Sir, the second full-size bottle of floral essential oil won't cost much, just three thousand five hundred taels of silver. You're willing to spend over ten thousand taels on your mistress, so why aren't you willing to spend even three thousand taels on your own wife?"

The nouveau riche's lips trembled: "Young lady, it's not that I... it's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that you need a lot of samples and travel-size products to match your full-size essential oils. If I only give you the full-size products and no other essential oil brooches, my husband will get suspicious."

After a moment's thought, Li Shuchen said, "How about this, you spend 23,600 taels of silver, and I'll give you two sets of proper essential oils and brooches?"

The nouveau riche muttered under his breath, "Too expensive."

Li Shuchen slammed his hand on the table.

With a "bang"

The nouveau riche was startled

Li Shuchen retorted angrily, "You don't mind buying it for your mistress, but you complain about it being too expensive for your wife? Are you even a man?"

Lao Jiu held the knife directly to the nouveau riche's neck.

The nouveau riche, terrified, waved his hands wildly: "I'll buy it, I'll buy two sets! Give me the money, hurry up and give her the money!"

The servant counted out the silver notes and placed them on the table.

Li Shuchen reached out and took the small snack, confirmed it was correct, and put it in his pocket.

Old Nine sheathed his knife.

The nouveau riche, panting, wiped the sweat from his brow.

"I'm going to pack some things. You two keep an eye on him."

"Yes, miss." *2

Li Shuchen went downstairs, prepared and packed everything, and then carried two brocade boxes into the elegant room.

"Let's have a little something."

The nouveau riche opened the two brocade boxes for a closer look; the essential oil brooch was still there. He closed them and said, "The items are correct. Farewell."

He grabbed the brocade box and walked away quickly, without looking back.

Ninth Brother: "Keeping a mistress and mistreating his wife, I should have chopped off his head just now."

Li Shuchen patted the angry Ninth Prince and coaxed him, "It's their private matter, and as outsiders, we shouldn't interfere. We can only do our best to benefit the legitimate wife. It's almost noon, so go and have your meal."

After lunch, Li Shuchen went to help out in the first-floor reception hall. While serving the food, he heard a familiar voice.

"Could you please give me a full-size bottle of Blue Hydrangea essential oil, shopkeeper?"

Li Shuchen turned around and saw Aunt Bi standing in front of the counter. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Aunt Bi, we're out of the full-size Blue Hydrangea essential oil, but we still have one sample bottle. Would you like it?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Bi turned around and carefully examined Li Shuchen, a look of doubt appearing in her eyes: "Does the young lady recognize me?"

Oh no! She had met Aunt Bi as a wealthy young master, but Aunt Bi had never seen her before; her identity had been exposed.

Li Shuchen chuckled awkwardly and tried to evade the question: "Hahaha, I stayed at the General's Mansion for a few days and heard Aunt Liang mention Consort Bi. She said Consort Bi was beautiful, aloof, and had an exceptional temperament. Seeing her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved."

Aunt Bi smiled upon hearing this: "So it's Chen'er. Just as Ying'er said, she is innocent, charming, and captivating."

When Li Shuchen heard the cold and beautiful woman praise her, he laughed like a fool: "Aunt Bi, you flatter me. This junior would like to invite Aunt Bi to lunch. I wonder if Aunt Bi is available?"

Aunt Bi smiled gently: "It just so happens that I just picked up the medicine from Qingde Medical Clinic and haven't had dinner yet, so thank you very much, Chen'er."

Upon receiving confirmation, Li Shuchen's lips curled into a wide smile: "It's Chen'er's honor. Grape, take Aunt Bi upstairs, I'll go to the kitchen to order a few dishes."

Grape: "Please, Aunt Bi."

As soon as Aunt Bi went upstairs, Li Shuchen took off running towards the door, his path streaked with sparks and flashes.

So fast it was like flying, so incredibly messy

He rushed into the flower shop, and in the crowd, precisely grabbed Ye Bingli's hand: "Bingli, quickly close the door and come with me!"

Ye Bingli was completely confused: "What's wrong, Shu Chen? What happened?"

Li Shuchen said urgently, "Explain on the way and close the door quickly."

Ye Bingli, though confused, obediently replied, "I'm sorry, esteemed guests, I have to temporarily close for some business. Please leave."

The customers didn't make things difficult for Ye Bingli; after hearing what she said, they all left the flower shop.

Ye Bingli closed the flower shop door and followed Li Shuchen.

"Aunt Bi is at my inn. I'll invite her to have lunch. Bing Li has been wanting to thank her, and this is a good opportunity."

Li Shuchen quickly uttered these words, and Ye Bingli felt a surge of warmth in her heart upon hearing them.

"It's kind of Shu Chen to remember all this."

"Don't say any more, go buy some gifts, I'll go back and keep her company."

"it is good"

The two separated and went about their own business.

Li Shuchen went to the kitchen and quickly ordered a variety of delicious, visually appealing, and nutritious dishes.

Then he carried a plate of fresh fruits into the private room.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Bi, for keeping you waiting. Chen'er will punish himself by giving him three bunches of grapes."

A pleasant, melodious laugh reached Li Shuchen's ears, and he had a sudden feeling that he was about to become rich.

Aunt Bi laughed until tears streamed down her face: "Can Chen'er finish three bunches of grapes?"

"Chen'er can finish it all. He's an invincible glutton. Three bunches of grapes are no problem for him. Aunt Bi, have a taste. These grapes are so juicy!"

Li Shuchen plucked a grape and handed it to Aunt Bi.

Aunt Bi reached out and took the food, chewing it slowly: "It's just as sweet and sour as before, but it's so hard to buy. Every time I send someone, they come back empty-handed."

Li Shuchen pushed the fruit platter on the table directly in front of Aunt Bi: "Aunt Bi is right. Chen'er will definitely work hard to earn money, expand the fruit shop, and strive to let Aunt Bi eat her fill of all the fruits she loves."

Aunt Bi was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this: "What did I say to you that Chen'er made such a promise?"

Li Shuchen rested his chin on his hands: "Oh dear, isn't it a good thing that Chen'er has such lofty ambitions?"

Aunt Bi smiled and said, "It is indeed a good thing."

Li Shuchen: "When the time comes, I'll send basket after basket of fruits to Aunt Bi's place, so she can eat her fill of fruits."

Aunt Bi said indulgently, "Oh dear, what if you get fat?"

Li Shuchen looked at Aunt Bi's thin chin and said, "It's alright, she looks good with some flesh. Aunt Bi is too thin."

"knock knock"

There was a knock on the door

Knowing Ye Bingli had arrived, Li Shuchen pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Who's looking for me? Grape, go open the door and see."

"Yes, miss"

Grape opened the door, and Ye Bingli, dressed in a cool blue dress, stepped inside.

Li Shuchen stood up from his seat: "Oh, it's Bingli! Come and get acquainted. This is Aunt Bi."
