C57 (1/2)

The emperor sized up Lin Xiafu, she did not look bad, if she did not have her identity as a member of the Lin Family, he would not have ignored her here, but it was a pity that she was in the wrong place.

He was anxious to return to Zhou Lean's place, but he suddenly remembered what Zhou Lean had told him after being caught.

This was the first time she slept with him. After this incident, she would be able to be on equal footing with Zhou Lean, no. No, if she wanted to stomp on Zhou Lean's head, Zhou Lean would be crushed under her feet.

Zhou Leping had a bad relationship with Lin Jing because of the army's selection, the two of them looked at each other wrongly, and all the ministers who wanted to climb up were troubled.

They had offended that guy by trying to curry favor with him. At a time when the emperor was still hesitating, they didn't know who to side with, nor did they know where to go to use their strength.

When Lin Jing was trying to win over the people outside the imperial court, Zhou Leping was busy with her shop, she had opened all the shops she could open and was saving a bit of time and effort. The two thousand soldiers that were stationed outside the city could also be transferred over by her as temporary helpers.

Saving money would save his own people, which made Qi Si, who was too busy to earn any money and could not even fill his stomach, extremely dissatisfied, and went on strike right in front of Zhou Leping.

Qi Miao felt that if he were to do this, he would be courting death, ”You won't even be able to eat dinner.”

Sure enough, Zhou Leping did not care about his strike, and only instructed Chang Feng who was behind him that he did not need to cook dinner for Qi Si anymore.

Qi Si wailed and picked up the cloth again.

In the evening, Zhou Leping was treating Zhao Deng to dinner at Tai Qing House. After all, from the establishment of the store to its opening, it was all thanks to Zhao Deng's help.

Zhao Deng happily agreed, but there was a condition that he had to bring Zhu Guanliang along.

Zhou Leping was confused, ”Why would I treat you to a meal and take him along?”

”I have something to ask of you.”

”What can he know? Just ask me if there's anything you need help with. ”

Zhao Deng glanced at her, ”Can I ask you something? Are you a doctor? ”

She rolled her eyes. ”It's fine if you see a doctor, but do you have to ask for guidance?”

In the private room of Tai Qing House, Zhou Leping and Zhu Guanliang looked at each other without speaking.

He was speechless and suddenly felt a bit awkward.

Zhou Leping tapped his finger on the table, pondering about what to say first, but before he could speak, Zhu Guanliang spoke first, ”There's something on General's face.”

”Piss off!” ”Your father is wearing a mask, but you said that there's something on your father's face that lied to me?”

”Of course not, there's really something here.”

Her mask was half-open, and there was no cover from her nose down to her mouth, so she reached out to touch it without touching anything.

”Are you intentionally toying with me? ”Where is it?”

Zhu Guanliang stood up, leaned over, extended a finger, and rubbed the right half of her face.

Zhou Leping could smell that unique and nice fragrance again. It was very light, but it lingered around the tip of his nose as if it was everywhere.

In State Of Zhao, almost everyone would bring a scented sachet with them, and the scents also varied greatly. Even if they placed the same kind of scented sachet on different people, the smell would be different if they placed the same type of scented sachet, but they had never seen him wearing it before.

”Alright.”

When he was done, he showed her his fingertips.
