Chapter 82 - Young Master Xiao Letian
As a modern man, Xiao Letian did not feel any burden from this one-night stand, but he knew very clearly what it meant for a woman to sleep with him in this most courteous and cruel dynasty.
Fu Hui was not a brothel girl or a half-hidden door, she was a proper aunt of the Manchuria, she was a powerful figure that could easily enter the Forbidden City. Once she entangled Xiao Letian with this kind of woman, it would be hard to get rid of her. She was afraid that this woman would have to snatch Hu Niu's position.
In the few days after that event, the Seven Apertures Mystical Heart's Fu Hui felt Xiao Letian's depression, and the enchanter woman immediately guessed the reason. The smart girl used actual actions to dispel Xiao Letian's doubts. She actually treated Hu Niu better, and after purchasing the presents, Fu Hui took the initiative to return to Beijing.
Xiao Letian only remembered that when he was at the pier by the sea watching him off, Fu Hui had whispered in Xiao Letian's ear, ”No need to hide from me, I'll leave first so that you won't feel awkward. ”In the eyes of outsiders, you are a renowned Grand Master of Western Studies, a god of wealth riding a black tiger. I never thought that you would actually be so cowardly in something like this …”
Fu Hui reached out and plucked the hair off Xiao Letian's shoulders, ”Don't worry, I won't fight over it with Hu Niu. I'm an ominous person who has been married three times and am not fit to enter your house. Fu Hui choked with sobs as she turned her head to wipe her eyes, trying her best not to cry.
At that time, Xiao Letian's heart felt as if it had been struck by a hammer, and blood rushed to his head in an instant. He didn't know how Xiao Letian did it, but he blurted out a sentence that even he could not believe himself, ”Sister Hui, if you are willing, just wait for me.
Fu Hui's eyes immediately ignited with hope. ”Really?” But before Xiao Letian could reply, the light in her eyes dimmed. ”I'm sorry, sister, I can't hurt you. With that, she turned around and flew back to the boat, never to come out again.
”Brother Xiao!” Brother Xiao … Drink wine … Xiao Letian's memories were interrupted by the Qing San Ye. Fu Qing looked at Xiao Letian's slightly flushed face and asked puzzledly: ”You drank your wine properly, why are you suddenly mute?” Xiao Letian laughed without saying a word.
”Sister Hui!” Sister Hui … Old Buddha is praising you … ” It was as if they had a tacit understanding of each other. While Xiao Letian was in a daze, Fu Hui was in a daze at the Imperial Garden's feast.
”Old Buddha, look at me, I have no future. Thanks to Old Buddha giving me a feast, I just remembered the bitter days of the first few years, wuu …” ”Let's stop talking, I've added fuel to the fire for big sister …”
Ci Xi thought that it wasn't easy for the two siblings to be together like this. As the big sister they took care of previously, they didn't take too much care of her, and at that moment, even Empress Dowager Ci Xi's eyes turned red.
”Good little sister, in the future with big sister protecting you, if anyone dares to bully you, just say the word, big sister will stand up for you …”
”Elder sister …” Fu Hui slipped into Ci Xi's embrace with a wow, crying so unjustly. Ci Xi wiped away her tears and patted Fu Hui's back, comforting her non-stop.
A garden lunch had become Fu Hui's show, the leading figure in the palace had instantly raised Fu Hui's ranking, an ordinary royal relative had instantly become a popular person in the Forbidden City.
When Ci Xi went to take a nap after lunch, An Dehai actually personally sent him off. Although it was only a hundred or two hundred metres journey, it was truly a great honor.
”Eunuch An, don't send me off, you have ruined my life … Oh right, I already had my servants deliver a bit of the native products to the house outside your palace this morning, don't despise it as just a bit of the Tanggu City's property … ”
”No …” Look at what you're saying, if you sent two crabs over, wouldn't the entire road stink! The Tanggu City has a lot of foreigners and all of them love to use foreign currency in their business. I intentionally got a foreign merchant to exchange for a hundred thousand eagles to send to your house … ”That's right, that's right. It's the kind of eagles that buzz every time they blow on the market …”
There had been no eunuchs who did not love money ever since ancient times. When they heard that Fu Hui could pay a hundred thousand dollars for it, even someone like An Dehai who had seen a great scene would not be able to take it.
”Aiyo!” Sister Hui, this is... What did you say? ”Isn't this embarrassing me …” Without waiting for An Dehai to finish speaking, Fu Hui went forward and covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
”You are seeing a foreigner again, isn't it? My own sister works hard in the country, and only by relying on your service will I be able to relax? ”My little sister, this little bit of kindness, is also to let this father-in-law buy you some supplements to properly supplement his nourishment, and to be filial to you, isn't that the same as being filial to elder sister?”
The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs finally understood that the title of Beijing's female boss was not for nothing. After half a day, both the empress dowager and the Eunuch An were seduced.
An Dehai was no longer poor like before. In his memories, Fu Hui had asked someone to find him for some work, and in the end, he could not even fork out seventy to eighty thousand taels of silver. This made Eunuch An laugh mockingly. However, it had only been a year since they last met, and Fu Hui was already able to take out a hundred thousand silver coins to form a relationship with them.
Not just that, An Dehai was very clear that the foreign product Fu Hui gifted him was worth at least 150,000 silver. In just one day, this woman had spent 250,000, so this sort of heroic spirit was rarely seen even in the Beijing.
Fu Hui was the most important link in Xiao Letian's intelligence network. Not only did Xiao Letian understand this, even Fu Hui herself was very clear of this. Fu Hui, who had grown up in the water, was much more mature than his brother, Qing San Ye. When Xiao Letian asked her to spend money to take away their relationship, Fu Hui had already understood Xiao Letian's motive.
However, all the women who fell in love were fools. Even though she knew that Xiao Letian was using her, she wasn't unwilling in her heart at all. Instead, she was using her expertise to the best of her ability to help Xiao Letian run ties with him.
