Wife is hell

Chapter 48: Lady Hachi
Before long, a maid dressed in simple clothes appeared in the shop.

She gave Madam Yan a graceful bow, her voice melodious and pleasant:

“Madam Yan, my lady is waiting in the backyard. However, she prefers quiet and has specifically instructed that only Madam Yan and her business partner are invited inside. Please forgive her.”

Lady Yan was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

She had hoped to use this opportunity to let her son make an appearance and leave an impression on important people.

If I were to enter the aristocratic upper class in the future, it would provide me with a stepping stone.

With her plans falling through, she could only suppress her thoughts.

Madam Yan instructed Wen Yu to take good care of Sui Sui, and then she and Jiang Mu followed the maid who was leading the way through the side door of the shop and into the backyard.

Upon entering the backyard, the scenery suddenly opens up.

The pavilions and towers are arranged in a well-organized manner, and the winding corridors lead to secluded spots.

Exquisite palace lanterns hang under the eaves.

Even during the day, it exudes a tranquil luxury.

After passing through several carved corridors, the two finally arrived at an extremely elegant and spacious hall.

Upon entering the hall, one sees a woman dressed in a light gold floor-length dress, facing slightly towards the door, looking up at a traditional Chinese ink painting hanging on the wall.

"Good heavens... an eight-foot-tall lady?"

Jiang Mu was somewhat shocked.

The woman in the hall was very tall, not exaggeratedly so, but probably over 1.9 meters.

What's remarkable is that despite his height, his body proportions are extremely harmonious.

Her voluptuous waistline curves into an incredibly alluring arc.

The concave parts resemble secluded valleys, while the convex parts resemble perilous peaks, perfectly embodying the essence of richness and ripeness.

The long legs encased in black silk stockings were clearly visible through the side slit in the skirt.

Paired with deep red wedge boots with a touch of gold, the distinct lines and voluptuous shape add a touch of flamboyant allure.

She is truly born with a captivating charm and an alluring presence.

Jiang Mu was somewhat stunned.

Even though he was used to Shi Yuhua's tranquility and Tang Jinxian's aloofness, the woman in front of him still gave him a great "visual shock".

One word—stunning!

She's so beautiful she's arrogant and domineering, so beautiful she's self-righteous!
It's definitely a super-sized vehicle.

Even if you stand up and kick yourself to death, you probably won't get hurt.

"Madam, Madam Yan and her guests have arrived."

The maidservant respectfully reported.

Clearly, Lady Yan had not expected that this mysterious Lady Tao would be such a strikingly beautiful woman. She was stunned for a few seconds before she came to her senses and quickly curtsied.
"This humble servant greets Lady Tao."

Jiang Mu also composed himself and cupped his hands, saying, "Mu Jiang greets Madam Tao."

"Heh, this kid..." Su Meixin, wearing her new vest, glanced at Jiang Mu and clicked her tongue in amazement.

The widow Tang's male concubine could actually make talismans?
Su Meixin remained calm and gracefully took her seat in the main seat.

Jiang Mu then noticed that the woman's face was covered with an exquisite gold veil, revealing only a pair of captivating, alluring peach blossom eyes.

It wasn't that Su Meixin wanted to wear a veil.

The main reason is that the "Mysterious Embryo Transformation Secret Technique" she cultivates can change her body shape, but it can only roughly change her weight; her facial features are still recognizable.

With Jiang Mu's keen eye, it was easy for him to spot the clues.

"sit down."

Su Meixin's voice had a slightly lazy, magnetic quality.

She casually crossed her stunningly long legs, the fabric of her stockings making a soft rustling sound, her movements exuding elegance and allure.

Jiang and Mu took their seats.

The maidservant served tea and then quietly withdrew.

Su Meixin's gaze did not linger on Jiang Mu. She said to Madam Yan, "I've already used the 'Runyu Talisman' you sent. It's not bad."

Knowing that she was not the main person in charge of this meeting, Madam Yan dared not overstep her bounds and pointed at Jiang Mu, saying:

"Madam, this Runyu Talisman was given to me by Young Master Mu a few days ago, entrusting me to find a reliable partner."

After much deliberation, I believe that only Your Excellency possesses such ability and vision within Yancheng. Hearing of Your Excellency's arrival, I have taken the liberty of presenting this sample and humbly request to see it.

"Oh, you made this talisman?"

Su Meixin looked at Jiang Mu with great interest. Mu Jiang used the same excuse he'd given Madam Yan:

“Madam, this talisman was made by my master. As for my master’s name… please forgive me for not revealing it. I hope you will not take offense.”

Master?

Su Meixin immediately became interested.

This is right.

This silly kid can make a hammer talisman, there must be a master behind him.

If he can make talismans, I'd even let him put his head inside my belly.

Although she was curious, she didn't press the matter since the other party had already said so. She tapped the armrest with her fingertips and asked lazily, "I wonder how many of these Runyu Talismans your master has made so far?"

"There aren't many right now, mainly because we're short of materials, and my master is busy with his spiritual practice and has limited energy."

Jiang Mu estimated his hand speed and work capacity, and gave a rough estimate: "About fifty copies can be supplied within three days."

"Too little."

Su Meixin shook her head slightly, "I can supply the materials, but the quantity needs to be at least doubled. If Master doesn't mind, I can find a few talisman-drawing experts to help increase production..."

"Forget it."

Upon hearing that the other party wanted to steal the secret recipe, Jiang Mu immediately refused, and instead said, "However, as for the matter of increasing the dosage, I can try my best to communicate with my master, and perhaps we can reach an agreement."

It seems I need to find a reliable helper.

Jiang Mu pondered to himself.

Su Meixin had only asked to test the waters, and seeing his refusal, she didn't press the matter, but smiled sweetly and said:

"So, regarding the price..."

Jiang Mu directly stated his conditions: "The talismans will be sold by Madam, and the pricing power will also belong to Madam. However, for every talisman sold, I will take 50% of the profit."

"can."

Su Meixin agreed very readily.

Jiang Mu, who had expected some haggling, was taken aback and suddenly realized that he might have asked for too low a price, and couldn't help but secretly regret it.

But since the words have already been spoken, it's not appropriate to escalate them further.

You can't exactly offer to send me a set of black stockings, can you?

The two parties then finalized some details of the cooperation and signed a contract.

Su Meixin also roughly explained her sales strategy.

First, generate buzz and hype the concept, then use scarcity marketing to drive up prices, targeting the upper-class socialite circle.

To maintain public interest and generate buzz, two equivalent talismans will be released each month in limited quantities, using a low-barrier reservation and lottery system to create an atmosphere of scarcity and "winning by luck"...

After listening, Jiang Mu felt that this business model was very familiar.

I feel like complaining.

"Madam Tao, I've heard that you also have a jewelry business. I suppose you employ skilled goldsmiths and silversmiths?"

Jiang Mu remembered the important matter and asked.

Su Meixin nodded: "That's right."

Jiang Mu said, "I would like to ask them for a favor: to refine and grind some special gold powder. This is not a one-time task; I may need to bother them often in the future. Madam, please rest assured, I will pay them as usual."

Su Meixin said with a sweet laugh:
"It's a trivial matter. I'll have them fully cooperate with you. Why talk about wages? However..."

She abruptly changed the subject, gently resting her chin on her hand, a hint of mockery flashing in her alluring eyes above her veil.
"I also have a small condition."

"Please speak, Madam."

"As I get older, I become quite envious when I see other families enjoying their golden years. Today, I met Young Master Mu and we hit it off immediately, so..."

Su Meixin drawled out her words.

Jiang Mu's heart skipped a beat.

No, could this woman be trying to keep me as a sugar daddy?

Seeking a child for a large sum of money?

The problem is, I'm afraid I won't be able to pedal this big vehicle.

Su Meixin smiled and stared at him, saying each word clearly, "So, I want to adopt you as my godson. Are you willing?"

　Thanks to the person who only knows how to study for the money for the donation.
