Zhang Xiaoyu remained silent for a while before raising her head.

Her face was still flushed, her eyes were like water, and her gaze towards Jing Zhe was full of charm. Even though she was shy, it was completely different from Zhou Ziqiong's shyness.

Perhaps, this is the difference between women and girls!

"Husband, you...you're never serious!"

Jing Zhe chuckled and said, "How am I being inappropriate? Didn't Xiaoyu herself say it was itchy? How come it's okay when you say it, but it becomes inappropriate when I say it?"

"..."

When it comes to talking, Zhang Xiaoyu is no match for Jing Zhe. This is a conclusion drawn from repeated practice, whether it's the picture above or the one below...

Zhang Xiaoyu naturally knew that Jing Zhe was deliberately teasing him. If he continued talking, who knew what kind of flirtatious remarks he would make!

If it were just the two of them, Zhang Xiaoyu would like his flirtatious talk. Of course, just flirting isn't enough; that would only make her feel a little itchy inside. He also needs to be flirtatious with his hands. That way, it wouldn't just be her heart that was itching...

But now it's not just the two of them!

There's also Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu—the two of them are easier to deal with, after all, they are both Jing Zhe's women, and they even played a friendly match together as a group of four, so they know each other well. But the key is that Zhou Ziqiong is also there!

Zhou Ziqiong was their sister-in-law. Before she was developed into Jing Zhe's woman, she naturally suppressed them in terms of status. How could they dare to act recklessly?

So she stamped her foot and pouted, "I'm not telling my husband anymore!"

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoyu didn't understand the joke, while Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu were just watching the show, Jing Zhe decided to change his target and tease the two of them.

"Xiaoyu's words are quite ticklish. Didn't the Pavilion Master and the Garden Master often say the same thing before? You two must know, right?"

"..."

Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu were quietly watching the drama unfold, but they never expected to end up getting caught up in it themselves, leaving them speechless.

Zhang Xiaoyu was too embarrassed to say it, and they certainly wouldn't be comfortable doing it in front of Zhou Ziqiong either, so they could only glare fiercely at Jing Zhe.

However, Jing Zhe ignored him completely and continued, "Then tell me, am I proper or not?"

At this moment, Mu Qingren laughed and said, "Whether you're proper or not, we can't say for sure. I think Sixth Sister definitely thinks you're improper!"

Wang Yingqiu chimed in, "Because Sixth Sister is already angry!"

"..."

Jing Zhe turned around and, sure enough, saw Zhou Ziqiong, her face flushed, gritting her teeth and glaring at him fiercely.

"that…"

Jing Zhe immediately backed down, laughing sheepishly, "Look at you guys, you're so easily amused. It was just a joke, just a joke!"

Zhou Ziqiong said coldly, "Some jokes are okay to make, and some are not. I advise you to think carefully about this next time you make a joke!"

"Um... okay!"

Jing Zhe chuckled awkwardly twice before speaking seriously: "What do you think would happen if we could make a cloth bag that doesn't need washing, is small and lightweight, can be carried around at any time, and is also very comfortable? Most importantly, if we could carry this kind of cloth bag, we would never experience the 'itchy' situation that Xiaoyu mentioned again. What would that be like?"

"Every woman would definitely want to buy it!"

Without even thinking, Zhang Xiaoyu clapped her hands and said.

The other three women nodded in agreement, but Zhou Ziqiong's eyes suddenly lit up: "You don't mean you want to make this kind of cloth bag, do you?"

Jing Zhe nodded and smiled, "However, this kind of thing isn't called a cloth bag, but rather a sanitary napkin."

"sanitary napkin?"

The four women exclaimed in unison; it was the first time they had ever heard of this title.

Jing Zhe nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's a sanitary napkin. It serves the same purpose as a cloth bag, but it's thinner, more comfortable, and more hygienic. Compared to a cloth bag, it's as thin as a gauze scarf, so it's called a sanitary napkin!"

"sanitary napkin…"

Zhang Xiaoyu repeated it twice and said, "What a wonderful name! No wonder you're my husband, you can come up with such a good name!"

"Hehe, it's alright..."

Jing Zhe scratched his head, his face turning red.

The moment Jing Zhe saw Zhou Ziqiong's menstrual blood staining her dress, he was inspired and had the idea to make sanitary napkins.

Of course, as a time traveler, Jing Zhe doesn't really care how much money he makes, because he already owns Wenxiangju and Zhangjia Winery. If he wants to make money, it's a piece of cake, and he'll make so much money he won't know what to do with it.

Moreover, even if it was for making money, he could have thought of other ways. Making sanitary napkins was something a grown man like him was a little embarrassed about. After all, he only wanted to be a friend to young girls, not a friend to women.

However, it seems that making sanitary napkins is the best option to solve the Zhou family's cloth workshop problem now, because the Zhou family has no shortage of cotton. Although in his time, anyone who dared to use cotton to make sanitary napkins would definitely go bankrupt, there are no synthetic materials in this era, so cotton has become the best and only option for making sanitary napkins!

It's said that experts see the details while laymen just watch the show. As an expert, Zhou Ziqiong immediately understood when she heard Jing Zhe's suggestion and thought about the current situation of the Zhou family's cloth workshop: "Zhe'er, the sanitary napkins you mentioned, do you mean they should be made of cotton?"

Jing Zhe clapped his hands with a smile: "Sixth Sister is so smart. I haven't even said anything yet, and Sixth Sister has already figured it out!"

Then she asked, "Sixth Sister, there must be many skilled needleworkers in our cloth shop, right? Call one over, and while you're at it, bring some more cotton cloth and cotton!"

Zhou Ziqiong thought for a moment, then immediately called Huaqin and asked her to go to the warehouse to fetch cotton and other items.

Seeing this, Jing Zhe asked curiously, "Sixth Sister, just bringing the things isn't enough. You need to find a skilled seamstress to sew the sanitary napkins according to my requirements!"

"..."

Zhou Ziqiong pursed her lips, smiled but didn't say anything.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyu gently nudged Jing Zhe and said with a smile, "Husband, why bother looking for a needlework expert? Sixth Sister single-handedly runs such a large Zhou family cloth shop and even created Huanhua Jade Brocade. Sixth Sister herself is definitely a needlework expert!"

Jing Zhe clapped his hands, suddenly realizing what was happening.

"Oh dear, how could I forget about that? Not to mention now, even when I was little, my sixth sister was exceptionally good at needlework, because she sewed almost all of my clothes!"

Hearing Jing Zhe mention his childhood, Zhou Ziqiong looked proud, while Mu Qingren and the others looked longing and envious.

"I think you just didn't take it to heart!"

"..."

Jing Zhe gave an awkward smile and said nothing more.

Before long, Huaqin brought over a set of needlework tools, including cotton, cotton cloth, needles, thread, and scissors. Under Jing Zhe's guidance and instructions, Zhou Ziqiong began to sew diligently.

Mu Qingren and the other two found it particularly strange and all gathered around to examine it closely…
