Chapter 36: The male lead who will protect the female lead for life?

"My lord, why are you so sure there's poison in the food?" The palace servant glanced at Ye Mingzhen.

"I was just suspicious, which is why I let the waiter taste it himself. He gave himself away." Ye Mingzhen said, then cupped his hands and left with his servants.

The group of people approached and said to the head palace servant, "Eunuch, should we..."

They didn't want to get involved in trouble; all trouble would cease to be trouble if it was resolved in one fell swoop.

"No need. Let me inform the Crown Prince before we decide what to do."

The palace servants waved their hands, leading them away from the Peony Pavilion.

At this moment, Wei Yishang is purchasing goods at a fabric store.

It was the height of summer, and she wanted to choose a light and cool fabric.

However, if cost control is strictly required, some scrap materials are the first choice.

"Miss, the price of the fabric is quite high. What do you plan to do?"

After looking around, Cui'er thought of Wei Yishang's words, "Let the poor also be able to afford comfortable and easy-to-wear clothes," and felt that there was still a long way to go.

"We won't choose waste materials," Wei Yishang said firmly.

If this goal is achieved by selecting waste materials to make clothes, then the fundamental purpose is reversed.

What I pursue is comfort, and the ability for everyone to find clothes that suit them.

"Cui'er, go and get a few signs, write 'Comfortable,' 'Elegant,' 'Fashionable,' and 'Beautiful' on them, and hang them at the door."

"I understand the store culture."

Cui'er replied readily, and Wei Yishang smiled.

Do the people in the book really understand store culture and corporate aspirations?

"Come with me to the Minister's residence, and then to Sister Feng's house."

At Minister Pei's residence, Pei Xiaorou was chatting with her elder sister-in-law when a servant came to report that Miss Wei had arrived.

"Is this the Fourth Miss Wei who came up with the idea?" Pei Xiaorou's elder sister-in-law asked her.

Pei Xiaorou nodded. "She's very capable."

The eldest sister-in-law chuckled lightly. She didn't believe it. How much ability could a woman possibly have?
She originally thought that there was a big gap between her and her husband's family, but perhaps they would be treated equally after she married into the family. As a result, she went crazy for many years.

In my entire life, I've never had the ability to control anyone.

They've always been there, being manipulated.

But the Peach Blossom Wine incident helped her regain her confidence and find herself again.

She felt that this might just be a coincidence for Miss Wei.

Having married into the Minister's household, she had met many people, but truly insightful, capable, and intelligent women were few and far between.

Wei Yishang entered, bowed to the two of them, and then gracefully took her seat.

"What wind blew Fourth Sister here?" Pei Xiaorou asked Wei Yishang with a smile.

"I'd like to ask Sister Pei to be the spokesperson for my clothing shop," Wei Yishang said, bringing up the idea of ​​becoming a spokesperson.

"Oh? What is a spokesperson?" Pei Xiaorou looked at Wei Yishang with her eyes that resembled those of people from the Jiangnan water towns, and asked in confusion.

“Wear our clothes, have an artist paint them, display them in front of the door, and use them for advertising.”

"This is probably not a good thing. Such public appearances are not good for my Xiaorou. I'm afraid she will be looked down upon by prominent families in the future, and her marriage will be hindered."

The eldest sister-in-law directly rejected Wei Yishang's suggestion.

"The endorsement fee can be one hundred taels. Sister Pei, please consider it."

Wei Yishang understood that the first step was the most difficult.

If Pei Xiaorou agrees, it will create a huge brand effect.

Wei Yishang believes that all people in the world are equal, and she will use her brand to reach the general public.

"I don't care about money."

Pei Xiaorou was, after all, a young lady from a sheltered family, and her father was the Minister of Personnel. It was clear that she had not yet experienced the hardships of life when she said such things.

"I understand, Sister Pei. But if I bring you clothes in your size in the future, could you wear them occasionally?"

Seeing Wei Yishang's pleading expression, Pei Xiaorou did not refuse again.

The eldest sister-in-law, watching their antics, was even more convinced that what happened that time was just an accidental mishap by Wei Yishang. Such a woman, though seemingly unconcerned with rules and eager to innovate, had a dangerous mindset.

You can get it right once or twice, but not every time.

After seeing Wei Yishang off, the eldest sister-in-law said to Pei Xiaorou, "Sister, this girl is not an ordinary person. You should stay away from her and protect yourself."

“Why do you say that, sister-in-law? She helped our family before…” Pei Xiaorou asked.

"It's because I helped her that she became so reckless. She just got it right once; she won't be right every time. This girl is dangerous."

The eldest sister-in-law did not believe Wei Yishang.

At the Feng residence, Wei Yishang gained Feng Yueqiao's approval and support.

Wei Yishang noticed that Feng Yueqiao looked somewhat tired, unlike before when her cheeks were round and full, resembling a flower bud in the midst of happiness.

"Sister, have you not been sleeping well lately?" Wei Yishang poured water for Feng Yueqiao.

"Little sister, I'm a little tired." Although Feng Yueqiao said she was tired, it was clear that she was mentally exhausted.

“Sister, if only I were a noble lady from a noble family…” Feng Yueqiao’s sudden words made Wei Yishang realize something.

"Sister, do you... admire that Boss Zeng?" Wei Yishang asked Feng Yueqiao presumptuously.

Whether she answers or not, Wei Yishang hopes that Feng Yueqiao will love her more.

If two people have different paths, they don't need to get together.

Upon hearing this, tears streamed down Feng Yueqiao's face.

Tears instantly soaked my clothes.

Wei Yishang was puzzled.

Is this Boss Zeng really the male lead?

That male lead who said he would cherish the female lead for life?

The male protagonist who made Ye Mingzhen in the book so heartbroken that he castrated himself?
"I'm going to find him!" Wei Yishang was furious when she saw Feng Yueqiao like this.

She thought that perhaps this was a good outcome.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

"No need..." Feng Yueqiao stopped Wei Yishang from going to look for it.

"He may have just made a foolish mistake by saying that I came from a bad background and was of no benefit to him."

Feng Yueqiao, with a saintly heart, was still defending Zeng Chenyi even at this point.

"If it weren't for my sister, would his shop have been able to open? How can he be so ungrateful?"

Wei Yishang disagreed.

She was racking her brains for a solution. Not only her own money, but also funding from the Feng family.

How much can we actually get back?

We can't let this scumbag get away with it.

“Sister, no need. I’ll be the spokesperson for your shop. I’m a merchant, so I don’t care much about this. Besides, I want him to see that I’m not just good at playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting; I can do other things too.”

Feng Yueqiao is indeed kind, but this is tantamount to inviting trouble for the future.

It's not suitable, it will be unsuitable sooner or later.

"Sister Feng, are you really going to entrust your future and your lifelong happiness to such a person?"

Wei Yishang expressed her concerns, but she also knew that since it wasn't her own business, she could only touch on it briefly.

"I..." Feng Yueqiao hesitated, but her love-struck mind prevailed.

"Men, tie the girl up!"

Just then, someone arrived; it was Feng Yueqiao's mother, Zou Shi.

"Mother!"

Feng Yueqiao never expected her mother to suddenly appear.

"Miss Wei, please leave first. My Feng family will be using family discipline!"
