I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

Chapter 161: 2 Ga and 3 Wa

Fang Xiaoxiao relentlessly criticized everyone.

“What kind of things are you all thinking about all day long?”

"Can't you think about how to expand our shop and make our business even better?"

"If none of you have anything to do, why don't you go to Jiangnan Province and help me find some materials?"

She glanced at everyone with a hint of anger in her eyes.

This invisible pressure caused everyone to lower their heads, not daring to meet her gaze even for a moment.

At this moment, Li Renyi quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Oh, my wife is right, it's all our fault."

"I'm sorry, my wife. I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry."

As the youngest and most youthful-looking person in the entire event.

Li Renyi believed that as long as he acted coquettishly and gave in, his wife would definitely not blame him anymore.

pity.

This plan has backfired.

Fang Xiaoxiao slammed her hand hard on the table.

The wooden table made a muffled "bang".

She put one hand on her hip and pointed the other directly at Li Renyi's nose.

"I haven't even said anything to you yet, and you've already pulled this stunt. Do you really think that just because you're young and look innocent, I won't scold you?!"

"Last time when I was trapped in Wenyue Pavilion, you not only didn't help me, but you also used me to make money."

"Have you lost your conscience? Have you gotten too big for your britches and are you trying to fly away?"

"And why did the store's business plummet after I left?"

This barrage of attacks shocked and silenced the group.

Li Renyi, in particular, was scolded so badly that his face turned pale and then red.

He felt abandoned by his wife, and even had suicidal thoughts.

But Fang Xiaoxiao had no intention of letting the others off the hook.

Then she pointed at Murong Changqing and angrily rebuked him.

"And you, a scholar of such high standing, how dare you go to a brothel?"

"You've really gotten to the point. If I didn't have informants, I wouldn't have known you were up to such a trick."

"You only earn ten taels of silver a month, yet you dare to spend thirty taels at a brothel."

"What, you think money is too easy to make, huh!"

Murong Changqing, who was being scolded, looked bewildered and guilty.

If his former colleagues knew that he, a former prime minister, was frequenting brothels, they would laugh their heads off.

After scolding He Jinnian, Zhou Wenjian, and Ouyang Tuoba, Fang Xiaoxiao plopped back down on the bench.

However, Zhou Wenjian was not criticized during this process.

Instead, he received praise from Fang Xiaoxiao.

They praised him for staying true to his principles and working diligently in the store. In front of everyone, they officially handed over the management of Lingxi Pavilion to him.

As for the others, they were all fined a month's salary and required to go to Jiangnan Province to purchase materials for making perfumes and lipsticks.

After arranging everything, Fang Xiaoxiao was finally able to go back to her room to rest for a while.

……

He Jinnian and his companions followed Li Renyi and boarded a merchant ship arranged by Zhu Wen, heading to Jiangnan Province.

on board.

Ouyang Tuoba suddenly clutched his stomach and said with a pained expression.

"Brothers, my stomach hurts so much."

As the oldest among them, He Jinnian naturally took on the role of leader in this procurement mission.

Seeing Ouyang Tuoba's unusual expression and pained look, he said with concern.

"Go find a doctor right away; there's still an hour before the ship departs."

"Then I..."

"Just go quickly and come back quickly."

"Thank you!"

Ouyang Tuoba immediately clutched his stomach and slowly walked down the boat.

After disembarking, he glanced sideways at the group of people on the bow deck.

Seeing that no one was looking at him, he immediately revealed a smug look of triumph.

He then quickly walked into the crowd and gradually disappeared into it.

Ouyang Tuoba strode towards the inn called Youjian Inn in front of him.

This is where his men live.

The reason I chose this place is because it's cheap.

Although as a prince, he should have countless riches.

Unfortunately, his money was all controlled by his older brother, so his funds for this infiltration into the Dayu court were rather limited.

He'd better be careful with his money.

third floor.

Ouyang Tuoba resumed his slightly melancholy expression, put his hands behind his back, and looked down at his subordinates with a superior air.

These people were all his trained assassins, each with extraordinary skills, capable of taking on ten opponents at once.

They were dressed in Hanfu, but had Hu knives at their waists.

This knife has a curved shape, somewhat like an enlarged version of a sickle, except it lacks a sickle handle.

When the prince approached, everyone placed their right hand on their chest, their expressions solemn.

"Your subordinate greets Prince Tuoba!"

Ouyang Tuoba waved his hand and smiled.

"When we're out, don't call me Prince, just call me Young Master."

"Furthermore, since we have come to the Dayu Dynasty, we should do as the locals do."

"When we meet again in the future, we should greet each other with both hands clasped in a respectful gesture."

The Deadpools thumped their chests and said in unison.

"Yes, Your Highness Prince Tuoba!!!"

"..."

After Ouyang Tuoba took his seat, he began to assign tasks to the group.

There were five Deadpools present besides him.

These people have strange shapes and sizes, and vary in weight.

Honestly, if it weren't for the curved knives they wore on their waists, people would probably mistake them for farmers from somewhere.

Because they all have one thing in common: they are black.

This stands in stark contrast to Ouyang Tuoba.

Ouyang Tuoba has a sunny and handsome face, with fair and rosy skin as delicate as a freshly cooked egg.

He patted the table and said.

"Erga and Sanwa, you two are responsible for assassinating this woman today!"

Erga was a middle-aged, thin man who looked like a rat from a ditch, with two curly mustaches on his lips.

The third child was also tall and robust, but he didn't seem very smart.

"Your Highness, Prince Tuoba, this woman looks really smelly, she's not even as pretty as my wife."

"Pah, you blockhead! With your big, burly tigress-like body, how could you possibly compare to the young lady in the painting!"

Erga spat at the big, dumb guy next to him and glanced at him with a look of disgust.

Instead of getting angry, Sanwa revealed a set of big white teeth and grinned foolishly.

"Brother Ga Zi ate chive dumplings today, they smell so good."

"..."

Looking at the two of them, Ouyang Tuoba suddenly felt a pang of regret, wondering if he had chosen the wrong people.

Although the two men were highly skilled, their performance made him somewhat worried about whether the mission to assassinate Fang Xiaoxiao could be carried out smoothly.

Russian qing.

Erga and Sanwa have arrived at Chang'an Avenue.

They were dressed in coarse linen clothes and did not wear curved knives at their waists, looking just like people from the countryside.

The two had only taken two steps when they were stopped by an old man.

The old man had a wrinkled face, a gaping mouth with two missing front teeth, and spoke with a slight lisp.

"Hey handsome guys, how about trying Little Lao Er's Yang Chui Noodles?"

"Sun-blown face?"

Sanwa looked at the thin, small old man in front of him with a suspicious expression.
