The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 16 Han Rui's Problem

"Hey."

In a daze, Gan Tiantian felt a hand pushing him.In a trance, she thought it was her best friend from the previous life, so she pulled the quilt over her head and muttered: "The alarm clock hasn't rung yet, let me sleep for another 5 minutes..."

"Hey!"

It hurts!
Who is pulling his arm!

"Who... wow... woo woo woo..."

The feeling of being gagged instantly is so familiar!
"How did you get in?"

After a while, Gan Tiantian, who finally figured out the situation, wrapped himself in an old quilt, and asked Han Rui who was standing in front of the bed warily.

She never doubted that Han Rui would come to pick flowers or something... With such a small body, I can't even count as a weed, let alone flowers!

But wouldn't anyone be terrified to be woken up in the middle of the night by someone who broke into their house unexpectedly?
At this time, Gan Tiantian forgot how grateful he was to Han Rui during the day.There's nothing she can do... Facing this arrogant young man with a bad face and a bad temper, she just can't feel grateful.

Even if he can be called a "beautiful boy" at all, heh!
"Do not talk nonsense."

Han Rui had no sense of being an "intruder" at all, snorted coldly, and said, "Get up, I have something to do with you."

Gan Tiantian put on his clothes and went to the ground anxiously.As long as Han Rui didn't come to take back the 500 taels, everything would be fine.

"Hey, yesterday you said that your father loved to read miscellaneous books?"

Han Rui cut directly to the topic.Gan Tiantian replied cautiously: "It should be."

Did this mysterious Young Master Han—or Bandit Han—encounter some technical problems?

She really guessed right.

Han Rui asked, "Did he leave any books of this kind?"

"No, there are no books at home." Gan Tiantian shook his head and said, "My father just borrows books from friends."

Han Rui showed a disappointed expression, patted his forehead in annoyance, and sat in the only chair in the room in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

Although Gan Tiantian was baffled by his arrival, he casually poured a cup of tea from the teapot on the table and put it in front of him: "Mr. Han... Do you have any problems and need help?"

The person in front of him was the savior who had given him a huge sum of 500 taels, so it was reasonable for her to help him.And... maybe, uh, there are other benefits to be gained?

Han Rui rolled his eyes, curled his lips and said, "You can't help me."

Hey, can you be less direct?

Gan Tiantian was almost choked to death by Han Rui's harsh tone again.Even if it's the truth, don't tell it!

Han Rui picked up the tea and took a sip irritably, there was nowhere to dispel the depression in his heart.

For the time being, I can't go back to my home in the capital.

It has now become the world of his "kind and capable" stepmother. He hides in a small inland town far away from the capital, and the people who serve around him may have been infiltrated by her.

Those servant girls were all "carefully selected" by his stepmother when he left Beijing.

He left Beijing and came to Deling County, nominally to celebrate his grandmother's birthday, but in fact he came to investigate the batch of spice shops left by his biological mother.

If his cousin Fang Shaobai hadn't secretly written to him telling him to be careful, he wouldn't have known about it—even his stepmother's dowry was already trying to embezzle it!
How could he let her succeed?
Fortunately, she is still his biological mother's cousin!At the beginning, my mother was too soft-hearted and took this bitch into Beijing to raise her personally, but she never thought that... this bitch of the Jiang family would actually take the opportunity of serving her seriously ill cousin to get close to her cousin's husband.

Only one year after his biological mother passed away, Jiang became his father's first wife.Even if he was a child who was only a few years old back then, he knew that something was wrong with this marriage.

It's just that my father has been completely fascinated by this gentle new wife, and completely forgot about his original partner.When Jiang's son gradually grew up, there was no longer any place for him as the eldest son in the mansion.

Fortunately, he still has a master and a cousin!

No one knew that the well-educated Confucian student whom his mother had hired for him one year before his death was secretly a master who had reached the realm of a master.

Even the mother didn't expect it... She accidentally left the strongest guarantee for her son.

Before leaving Beijing, his master who had taught him knowledge and martial arts for several years also resigned from his job as a school teacher in Fuzhong, saying that he would travel around the world again.

"Rui'er, being a teacher has already laid the foundation for you. Whether you can succeed in cultivation in the future depends on your own good fortune."

"It's not good for a teacher to interfere with the affairs of the inner house. Take care of yourself."

Neither his father's ignorance nor his stepmother's schemes made Han Rui sad.But seeing his master's blue-gray Confucian shirt disappearing in front of the window, Han Rui clutched several martial arts cheats left by him, speechless for a long time.

He couldn't cry, let alone be depressed.He wants to rely on his own strength to take back everything that belongs to him!
Last night, he sneaked into his stepmother's natal Jiang's house late at night to search for a register, which was related to the many people his stepmother had placed in Deling County.

Hehe, this virtuous stepmother has written several letters to his maternal grandfather Fang's family, pretending to take care of the shop for the "deceased sister", and guaranteeing that all the proceeds will go to Han Rui's name.

People who don't know the inside story may think that this stepmother is really benevolent to Han Rui, right?

The fact is, she is using all kinds of overt and covert means to suppress the spice shops under his mother Fang's name, trying to gradually eat away at this large property.

However, due to Jiang's current "noble status", most of the Fang family were unaware of her sinister intentions.

Except for Fang Shaobai who has a particularly good relationship with Han Rui.

"How do you know that I can't help you?" Gan Tiantian saw that he was so arrogant, so he said bluntly: "Look, I can make ice, but you can't, right?"

"Humph."

Han Rui rubbed his chin, and glanced at her sideways: "You are a blind cat and a dead mouse, it's just a coincidence."

There are seventeen spice shops under the mother's name, and the goods in three of them have been tampered with and are about to deteriorate, and the shopkeepers cannot buy enough ice bricks.

He was also very helpless when he learned about it, but by coincidence, he bought Gan Tiantian's ice-making method, which solved the big problem of his own shop.

Otherwise, when he encountered a new problem today, he wouldn't come over here by accident - subconsciously, he always felt that this girl was a bit weird, maybe talking to her would help?As a result, hum...

Hearing what he said, Gan Tiantian was immediately annoyed: "Who is a blind cat! Who is a dead mouse!"

"Uh……"

In terms of eloquence, Han Ruizhen is no match for Gan Tiantian.

"I won't argue with you. I'm leaving."

"Hey."

Seeing that he was really going to leave, Gan Tiantian couldn't bear it: "Well, what kind of problem are you talking about?"

"Alas..." Han Rui sighed: "I shouldn't be greedy. This problem... even the perfumers in the world can't solve it, so I really shouldn't count on you..."

"What's the problem?"

Ji Bingyun's inquiry suddenly sounded in Gan Tiantian's mind.

Why is this guy showing up again?
