I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Outside Tianxiang Tower, Qin Li and Wei Hongying met.

Although Wei Hongying tried her best to hide it, Qin Li still noticed that her eyes were red and she had obviously just been crying.

Qin Li's face immediately turned cold, and he cursed inwardly.

Qin Feng is a real bastard, how dare he bully Wei Hongying.

Fine, you just wait!

At the Dragon Vein Conference not long after.

I'll show you why flowers are so red.

Qin Feng: "??????"

Am I being wronged? I've been confined to my residence these past few days, and Han Zhen even beat me up for no reason. I haven't even seen Wei Hongying. Where did I go to bully her?

Qin Li didn't care about any of that; he was certain that Wei Hongying's crying was related to Qin Feng.

"What's wrong with you?"

Qin Li asked out of concern.

"No, it's nothing."

Wei Hongying quickly turned her head away and wiped her tears with her hand.

When she turned around again, she had already returned to the appearance of a daughter of a military family.

"If it's nothing, why are your eyes red? Don't tell me you got sand in your eye."

Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe such an excuse, let alone him.

Wei Hongying tried to hold back, but she couldn't help but tell Qin Li.

These past few days at home, Madam Wei had her sisters-in-law take turns admonishing her, telling her not to get too close to Qin Li, as she had a fiancé, the seventh prince Qin Feng.

If they get too close, people will gossip and say that Qin Li deliberately approached her with ill intentions.

Upon hearing this, Qin Li couldn't help but mutter to himself... Damn it, his future mother-in-law really knows him. It seems he needs to find some time to have a good talk with Madam Wei.

Although he thought this in his heart, Qin Li waved his hand dismissively and said casually:

"Hi!"

"I thought it was something serious. Don't worry about it, and don't be sad!"

Aren't you sad? Don't you feel wronged?

Wei Hongying looked at Qin Li and asked, puzzled.

"What's there to feel aggrieved about?" Qin Li patted his chest. "I, Qin Li, am upright and have nothing to fear! To say that you had ill intentions in approaching Miss Wei, is that true?"

"I've been seeking your help with crucial military matters concerning the upcoming campaign. Last time it was about money, and this time it's about supplies. How have I ever harbored ill intentions?"

Wei Hongying nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice, expressing her deep agreement.

"Alright, stop being sad."

Qin Li comforted them, saying, "We're all upright and have nothing to fear. People can say whatever they want; we can't control what they say. Just do our best!"

After some words of comfort, Wei Hongying felt much better, and her liking for Qin Li increased even further.

The two were talking at the entrance of Tianxiang Tower when two more people walked out from the opposite direction.

The woman at the head of the group was slender and wore a veil, holding a book in her hand.

The woman behind him was quite young, with two braids, and was probably a maid or something similar.

The two were master and servant.

The veiled woman, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, said as she walked, "The most important thing in doing business is to be honest. We agreed to meet at Tianxiang Restaurant at exactly 9:00 AM, but it's already past 9:45 AM and she still hasn't shown up. Let's not do this business anymore and go home."

"Miss, please don't be angry. Perhaps the other party is busy and didn't mean to stand us up. Besides, this is a big deal. If we can close it, we will be associated with the imperial court, and no one will dare to look down on us anymore."

The maidservant followed closely behind the woman, offering quiet words of comfort.

Seeing the two of them, Wei Hongying quickly wiped away her tears and chased after them with Qin Li.

Qin Li didn't recognize them, but Wei Hongying did. The woman in the lead was surnamed Song, and she was the grain merchant whom the two had agreed to meet at Tianxiang Tower.

"Miss Song, please wait!"

Upon hearing the sound, the master and servant stopped and turned around to look.

Song Qian frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

He looked the man and woman up and down, confirming that they were strangers.

With a forced smile, Wei Hongying said, "I'm so sorry to have kept Miss Song waiting. We are the buyers who arranged to meet Miss Song. This gentleman beside me is..."

Just as I was about to introduce Qin Li, he stepped forward and introduced himself: "I am Qin Feng, the seventh prince of the Great Zhou!"

Wei Hongying was taken aback, wondering why Qin Li would impersonate Qin Feng again.

Qin Li said... "When you're in the martial arts world, you're bound to get hurt. It's always good to be careful."

"Greetings, Seventh Prince!"

After giving a perfunctory bow, Song Qian was about to leave, showing no respect whatsoever.

Qin Li and Wei Hongying couldn't help but exchange a glance, somewhat surprised.

"Miss Song, please wait!"

"It's all my fault. I wasted time outside, but we really need to buy grain from Miss Song, lots and lots of grain!"

Song Qian ignored Wei Hongying's explanation and walked faster and faster, almost boarding the carriage parked on the side of the street.

The maidservant quickly interjected, "Miss, the other party is the Seventh Prince. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to offend a prince like this? Why would we turn down money?"

Song Qian didn't stop, she went straight to the carriage, lowered the curtain, and a cold voice came from inside the carriage:

"What's wrong with the prince? In business, there are only sellers and buyers!"

After saying that, Song Qian instructed the coachman to drive the carriage, as she was going back to her residence.

The other party doesn't even adhere to the most basic time constraints. There's really no point in doing this business; there might be other troubles later.

Even if the other party were the emperor, let alone a prince, she wouldn't do this business.

Seeing this, Qin Li exclaimed that this girl had a really big temper. He originally thought that Wei Hongying, who came from a military family, had a big temper, but he didn't expect that there were always people more powerful than her.

"What should we do?"

Wei Hongying looked at Qin Li and said anxiously, "The Song family is the largest grain merchant in the capital. Only they can supply such a large amount of grain."

"It's okay, watch me."

Qin Li patted his chest, indicating that he would take care of the matter, and stepped forward, saying, "Miss Song, I am the seventh prince of our Great Zhou..."

Intending to use his status to intimidate, Song Qian's voice came from the carriage before Qin Li could finish speaking, "He's just a useless prince, what's the big deal?"

"Which law of the imperial court stipulates that I must do business with a prince!"

Wow!

This girl not only has a bad temper, but she's also fearless!

It's important to know that in ancient times, the social hierarchy was scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, with merchants having the lowest social status.

Not to mention that Song Qian, a businesswoman, dared to call the prince a "useless prince" on the street.

Even if Qin Li killed Song Qian in the street, no one would say anything.

But Qin Li didn't choose to do that; he killed Song Qian, and the plan to buy grain fell through completely.

There was another reason why Qin Li didn't kill Song Qian, and that was... this audacious girl had successfully caught Qin Li's attention.

"That's right, there's no law in the Great Zhou Dynasty that stipulates that Miss Song must do business with a prince!"

"It was indeed our fault for not being punctual, and I apologize to Miss Song!"

"I noticed that Miss Song had a book in her hand the moment ago; she must enjoy poetry and literature!"

"This humble prince, though lacking in talent, possesses a rudimentary understanding of poetry and literature. I have composed a poem, which I offer to Miss Song as an apology!"

After saying that, Qin Li stretched out his hands, shook his wide-sleeved sleeves, and then swung them sharply behind him.

In this situation, all Qin Li could say was... Step aside, I'm about to start showing off!
