Minister Family's Black Belly Woman

One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Shen Ninghua turned to look at the guard who was rushing in through the door. Her eyes glimmered with a faint light. Yesterday, she had just given the banknote to Chu Junyi. How could the delivery of the ingredients be so quick?

Chu Junyi walked in behind the guard with her hands clasped behind her back. Baili JinChuan widened his eyes in shock, "Young Master Mo, the guard said that the ingredients are here. Did you send the ingredients over?"

Chu Junyi shook her head humbly. "I came out alone to gain some experience. I didn't bring so many medicinal herbs with me." However, back in the days when the Mo Clan was still active outside, they had done a great service to the Hua Jun Medicinal Store. Now that I've heard that the Second Prince was anxious, I thought of a way to contact them. I never thought that I'd be able to get in touch with them.

Baili JinChuan did his best to not conceal the excitement in his eyes, "Great! Old General Xiao, Ning Hua, let's go take a look!"

The carriages of medicinal plants were covered and placed on the carriages. Despite the constant rain, there was no moisture in them at all.

The shopkeeper of the Hua Jun Medicine Store was a stout middle-aged man. Upon seeing that Baili Jin Chuan ran out without an umbrella, he immediately went up and kowtowed in panic, "This humble one, Qian Jinbao, pays his respects to the Second Prince."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Qian. I will definitely report this to father for your reward." With this batch of herbs, Jiang Nan would be able to hold on for a few more days.

Shen Ninghua didn't pay attention to their greetings. She walked straight to the vehicle where the medicinal ingredients were stored and took off the greasepaint to examine it. A steward hurriedly passed a book with medicinal ingredients written on it to Shen Ninghua and said, "Princess, please take a look."

Seeing the name of the medicinal ingredients written on the book, Shen Ninghua nodded her head and had the imperial physician distribute the ingredients needed elsewhere. This time, there were many different types of medicinal herbs. Although they were not sufficient, they were more than sufficient to solve this urgent problem.

Baili JinChuan personally entertained Shopkeeper Qian. At the banquet, he was even more amiable when he found out that Shopkeeper Qian would continue to deliver medicinal herbs.

Bai Yan helped Shen Ninghua change out of her dirty dress, then used the ointment to help her wipe the bruises on her legs. "Miss, it's enough for the imperial physicians and guards to give out the medicinal ingredients. You can just give some pointers from the side. Don't go up and do it yourself."

"No problem, I'm just confirming a few things." Shen Ninghua smiled, appearing to be in an excellent mood.

"What did Ning Hua say that made her so happy?" Chu Junyi appeared at the window.

Bai Yu's face darkened and he hurriedly pulled over the upper half of Shen Ninghua's leg that was covered by the blanket. "You … "You lecher, you actually didn't know to let me know?"

Chu Junyi hadn't expected to see such a lively and fragrant scene. On the bright red satin, there was a faint jade tinge to her leg, which looked like fine white porcelain. The faint glow made it difficult for her to stop her throat from clenching, "I …" "Apologies."

Shen Ninghua pulled on her snow-white dress under the quilt, stopping the flustered Bai Yiyan, "It's nothing, you can leave first."

"Yes, miss." Bai Ning walked out of the room and closed the door. She was extremely worried. She had only known this Mo Junqing for a few days, why did she feel so familiar with him? That Mo Junqing didn't care about etiquette at all. He didn't want his mistress's reputation anymore. He was so worried about the maid.

Chu Junyi entered the room through the window, suppressing the embarrassment she felt. She had gotten used to seeing Shen Ninghua through the window, but who would've thought that she would come at the right time. What a coincidence...

Shen Ninghua didn't pay much attention to him. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she directly asked, "You didn't have anything to say to me since you came?"

Chu Junyi paused. "Mm …" Since I have destroyed your innocence, I will naturally take responsibility for it. Rest assured, when you are young, I will immediately go and propose marriage. "

Shen Ninghua knitted her brows, grabbed the bottle of ointment beside her and threw it towards him. What nonsense was this person spouting? It was just that he wanted to marry her after being stared at by her calf. He was daydreaming!

Chu Junyi grabbed the bottle. "Is this a token of love?" Even though it's a little special, it's just right to be used as a souvenir for today … "

"Shut up!" Shen Ninghua glanced at him coldly, "I'm asking about the medicinal herbs that Shopkeeper Qian sent over. Did you prepare them when you came to Jiangnan in advance?"

Chu Junyi was pleased with her anger, but she knew that she shouldn't mess with it too much, or else the claw would grab her. "Mm, the first thing I did after I disguised myself to come to Ping City was to purchase the ingredients according to the prescription you gave me. I didn't expect that I'd actually use them. "I'm so lucky."

Lucky? Shen Ninghua raised an eyebrow. Perhaps the word 'lucky' could not explain it. She had originally thought that her scheme was quite ingenious, but who would have thought that the person in front of her had already planned things out. Instead, he was pretending to be ignorant! Although she had taken out all of her belongings this time, she was still the one who had the advantage.

Chu Junyi chuckled. "I thought I'd donate them if I didn't have enough ingredients, but you're smart enough to tell me a good way to earn money. Don't worry, I'll give you a fifty percent discount."

Shen Ninghua nodded and bluntly said, "Yes, you're here today. Write me a contract so we don't have to settle our accounts later."

"A written agreement?" Chu Junyi couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Of course. Could it be that if I give you 1,000,000 silver, you'll give me a 50% discount?" Shen Ninghua stared at him with wide eyes. Who knows if you'll go back on your word in the future?

Chu Junyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Fine. It's just a written agreement. How do you think we should write it?"

Shen Ninghua lifted the quilt and got off the bed. After putting on her embroidered shoes, she went to the table and grabbed a pen and a paper.

She was wearing only a snow-white undergarment, and when she moved, her snow-white ankles could be seen. Chu Junyi's eyes warmed up, and she unconsciously averted her eyes.

"I gave you 1,000,000 silver, so you have to write it down clearly. In the future, we will earn 50% of the profits, and we will also bear 50% of the losses."

Chu Junyi nodded, then accepted the pen and paper and began writing as instructed. His calligraphy was filled with vigor and strength, and there was a hint of unrestrained arrogance in it. Shen Ninghua was delighted when she saw it, and unconsciously leaned forward to take a look.

Chu Junyi was busy writing when a sweet fragrance wafted into her nose. It was fresh and elegant, not like the usual heavy incense, but like the first rays of the rain. It was soothing. He controlled his mind as the tip of his brush became more and more forceful. He wrote down the ink and passed it to Shen Ninghua.

After Shen Ninghua finished reading, a smile appeared in her eyes. "Not bad, you write down another point, and I'll sign it for you to keep. In the future, if you have any issues, just follow the instructions on the contract."

"Alright."

Keeping the two portions of the contract properly, Shen Ninghua got over her troubles. She once again went to bed and leaned back against the bed, saying, "With this batch of medicinal ingredients, Jiangnan shouldn't be in a mess. This trip has not been in vain."

"Ning Hua, I've been meaning to ask you about the identity of that princess of yours."

"The Emperor acknowledged me as his adopted daughter. Naturally, he conferred the title of princess to me."

Chu Junyi's eyes flashed with mixed emotions. "Your Majesty wants to use this to help you escape from the Shen family?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you still coming to Jiangnan?"

Chu Junyi relaxed slightly at the sight of her miser. She laughed. "You've already been given the title of princess, and you still lack money?" For some reason, he didn't seem to be forcing her to. Since she was playing the fool, he didn't want to pursue this matter any further.

"Money makes the difference. Who would think that money is too much?"

"That's true." Chu Junyi raised her eyes to look at her. "Looks like I'll have to do my best. If I lose money, won't you kill me?"

Shen Ninghua suddenly laughed, "Why would I kill you?" Of course it's to find a way to get it back from you. "

Thinking of this, the two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Who would have thought that after less than half a year, they would be calmly discussing about how to earn money here?

Shen Ninghua yawned sleepily and said, "Hurry up and go back. It should be quieter in the next two days. I need to rest first."

Seeing the tinge of color in her eyes, Chu Junyi rose to her feet. "Alright. You rest early."

Once they were out of Shen Ninghua's courtyard, Chu Junyi turned her head to look at the door with the lights out. The image of that jade-like scene played through her mind once again, and her lips curled up in amusement.

For the next five days, the Hua Jun Medicinal Store transported medicinal ingredients to Riverside City. The people of the disaster broke down in tears of gratitude. The reputation of the Hua Jun Pharmaceutical Company spread throughout Jiangnan with an unimaginable speed.

With the comparison made by the Hua Jun Medicinal Store, many of the medicinal stores that had been hoarding medicinal herbs and taking advantage of the opportunity to amass more wealth were infected one by one. People deeply hated these shops, and they all secretly swore that once the disaster was over, they would definitely not go to these shops to buy things.

Unlike Chu Junyi and Shen Ninghua, however, they did not have a large base of silver taels. Many of them were forced to close their doors and slowly laid the foundation for the China Pharmaceutical Company to unify the Jiangnan Medicinal Herbs Industry.

After Baili Qingfeng found out that the medicinal ingredients had been delayed for four days and still could not be transported to Jiangnan, he immediately ordered the official in charge of arranging the transportation to drag them out and strike the 50 big boards. Afterwards, he called the princes over to the south study room and smashed a set of tea cups on their heads.

"I don't care how you contend for power and profit, but if anyone dares to have a slightly crooked thought in the face of times of trouble, I will directly cripple his hope for a fight for power!" Don't blame me for being ruthless. If you want to blame something, blame it on the fact that you're princes and I'm the emperor! It will not be easy for me to help you all, but I can only say a few words to destroy you all, do you understand? "

On the seventh day, the large ship carrying medicinal herbs finally appeared at the pier of Riverside City. The citizens knelt on the ground and cheered, "Long live the heavens!"

Shen Ninghua stood at the side of the river, excitement in her eyes. With these ingredients, Jiangnan was safe and sound.
