Chapter 165 Follow suit

"Princess, you don't have to be afraid! He is my cousin, the legitimate son of the second branch of the Duke's Mansion. He is not a bad person. It was just a misunderstanding just now. My business in the shop is a partnership with him." At this time, Xu Qingyan spoke for Pei Jingye. When she saw his look just now, she had been holding back her laughter for a long time.

"So it's someone from your Duke's Mansion!" Gu Yina's expression relaxed a little.

Otherwise, she would really think that the person in front of her was some kind of pervert. Since Xu Qingyan had already said so, he was probably not a bad person.

"Cousin, why did you come to me so anxiously? Is there something wrong?" Xu Qingyan asked Pei Jingye seriously.

"It's like this, sister-in-law. My people have improved the sanitary napkin according to what you said last time. They really found a more comfortable material, and it will be softer this time. I brought a few new products here and wanted to show them to you. Is that right? Anyway, we asked several maids to try it, and they said it is more comfortable than before." Pei Jingye said as he took out the sanitary napkin that had just fallen on the ground from his arms again.

After Xu Qingyan heard this, her eyes lit up, and she immediately took the sanitary napkin and looked at it carefully, and found that this time it really looked 90% similar to the modern ones. Last time, she just mentioned it with regret, but she didn't expect Pei Jingye to find a better material.

"You said that this...this thing...was developed by you?" At this time, Gu Yina on the side asked in surprise.

This time, when she looked at Pei Jingye, she not only saw a perverted look, but also a sense of shock. She never thought that a man would actually study this kind of thing!

Pei Jingye was immediately embarrassed by the question. He stuttered for a long time and didn't know what to say. "This was researched by my people, but not by me. I...I asked someone to research it, but...it was not me. I'm really not...not a pervert. I didn't...I didn't ask someone to research this kind of thing."

After seeing Pei Jingye like this, Xu Qingyan almost laughed to death. After she laughed enough, she stepped forward to help explain: "Princess, don't get me wrong! My cousin is not a pervert, he is just a businessman with many talented people under him. This was seen by his subordinates when they visited other places, and they studied it. He also knew that it was not convenient for him to do this business, so he gave it to me and asked me to open such a store."

"So that's how it is!" Guina sighed, and her expression looked better.

Xu Qingyan said to Pei Jingye again: "Cousin, this new improvement does look good. Just make sure someone has tried it. If there are no problems, you can produce it like this in the future!"

"Okay!" Pei Jingye finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Gu Yina somewhat awkwardly.

Gu Yina also looked at Pei Jingye strangely. There was an inexplicable strange feeling between the two of them.

After a while, the improved version of sanitary napkins began to be sold, and once again spread among women, and the business was getting better and better. As she had expected, those negative comments against Xu Qingyan gradually disappeared, and more people were talking about the usefulness of this thing.

Many businessmen also smelled the scent of profit and wanted to follow Xu Qingyan's example and open this store. Some even came to Xu Qingyan to ask for goods.

Xu Qingyan did not refuse. She knew that once this kind of thing came out, even if she kept the secret recipe, it would be slowly figured out by others. It would be better to sell one to others.

Therefore, she discussed with Pei Jingye and gave other merchants the source of goods and unified the pricing. In this way, there would be no malicious competition, but sanitary napkins could be sold as a common commodity.

Xu Qingyan made a fortune from this business.

At the same time, the Sixth Prince did not pay much attention to Xu Qingyan and the others, but was thinking about how to seduce Princess Louxi.

He sent Guina many invitations, but she never accepted them all. This made him very angry.

"Go and send it again! If the princess hasn't accepted the invitation this time, you don't have to come back!" The Sixth Prince yelled at the servant again when he saw his invitation being returned to him.

The servant wanted to cry but had no tears. If he sent it to the princess again, wouldn't he still be rejected? Sixth Prince, isn't this deliberately making things difficult for them? However, they were just servants and had no right to refuse. They could only quietly retreat and prepare to go to Princess Louxi again.

But at this time, one of the Sixth Prince's advisers stopped him and advised him, "Sixth Prince, please don't send anyone to deliver it yet. If you send too many people, I'm afraid Princess Louxi will be even more disgusted. I have a method here, you may as well try it."

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince raised his head and asked, "What do you have in mind? Tell me about it."

"We can see if Princess Louxi has anyone she gets along well with in Daxia these days. If so, we can ask the princess out in her name."

"This...is not a bad idea!" The Sixth Prince was stunned for a moment, then he instantly became alert.

So, he immediately sent someone to investigate and found out that Princess Louxi actually had a close relationship with Xu Qingyan.

After discussing with his advisers, he finally decided to invite Princess Louxi in the name of Xu Qingyan. In order to prevent Princess Louxi from leaving on the spot after meeting him but not Xu Qingyan, he also wrote an invitation to Xu Qingyan and his wife.

After receiving the invitation, Gu Yina saw that it said Xu Qingyan invited her to dinner at the restaurant, so she naturally happily accepted it.

On the other hand, Xu Qingyan and Pei Jingchuan couldn't help but feel puzzled when they saw that the Sixth Prince had actually sent them an invitation.

"My husband, what do you think the Sixth Prince wants to do this time? Is he still targeting Jin Yu? He didn't invite us over, but he wants to talk to you!"

"It shouldn't be, otherwise, Jin Yu's name would be written on his invitation." Pei Jingchuan shook his head slightly in denial.

"Then why did he ask us out? Are you familiar with him, my husband? If he wanted to win you over, it would be enough for him to ask you out alone. Why did he have to bring me along?" Xu Qingyan frowned in confusion.

Similarly, Pei Jingchuan frowned and said, "This time, I don't know why. It's okay, we'll know when the time comes."

So, Xu Qingyan and the others decided to accept the invitation.

A few days later, Xu Qingyan and the others arrived at the restaurant as agreed upon by the Sixth Prince. As soon as they entered and went upstairs, they met Gu Yina.

"Princess, why are you here?" Xu Qingyan asked with some confusion when she saw Gu Yina.

Gu Yina's smiling face froze in an instant, and she said, "Princess, didn't you ask me to come here? Why are you asking me that?"

Xu Qingyan heard what Gu Yina said. What? She made an appointment? She made an appointment to come here?

So, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but turn sideways and look at Pei Jingchuan. The two of them instantly smelled a scent of conspiracy. It seemed that someone was using them!
