Shen Fengxian neither flinched nor dodged, his large hand firmly clasped hers, showing no concern that Li Yunyan would notice.
The system, however, played a prank and played a close-up shot in Li Yunyan's mind.
Li Yunyan closed her eyes. "Turn them off! They're burning my eyes!"
[Hehe! Host! You're also part of their play!]
The system laughed heartily, but still obediently turned off the close-up.
Li Yunyan cursed inwardly, "What did you even upgrade? You know way too much!"
[Hehe! Don't you feel like I'm even smarter now?]
It's clever, but it's even more infuriating!
They arrived at the Li family home, where Li Jingshu and Liu Wenkang were already waiting.
Surprisingly, Shen Fengxian and Li Mingshan also got out of the car together.
Li Yunyan frowned slightly; she really didn't want to be with him!
"Husband? Don't you have anything to do today?"
"It's alright! Spending time with you is more important!"
Shen Fengxian stood very close to her, speaking to her with gentle eyes and a bowed head. Anyone unaware of the situation would have thought they were a loving couple.
Li Yunyan, who was about to give birth, said virtuously, "If my husband has something to do, he can go with Young Master Li. He doesn't need to stay with me!"
"It's okay, we're not busy!"
Shen Fengxian and Li Mingshan exchanged a glance. The plan had begun, and they were going to go all out with their act.
During this period, Li Yunyan must not discover anything amiss.
Li Yunyan tried her best to control her expression and said with a smile, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, husband!"
"That's only right!"
Shen Fengxian took a deep breath and tried to take Li Yunyan's hand.
Unexpectedly, Li Yunyan suddenly jogged forward two steps and pulled Li Jingshu together.
"Sister! I'm back!"
"Yan'er is here! And the son-in-law is here too!"
Shen Fengxian cupped his hands in greeting, "Greetings, elder sister!" Li Mingshan also cupped his hands in greeting.
Liu Wenkang bowed and said, "Greetings, Aunt! Uncle!"
Li Jingshu looked at the radiant woman in front of her with delight and pulled her up and down to examine her closely.
"You've gained a little weight! And your complexion looks better!"
“Of course!” Li Yunyan raised an eyebrow. “I will definitely keep my promise to my sister!”
Today she wore a pomegranate red padded ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with a tasseled gold hairpin in her hair and ruby earrings on her earlobes, looking brighter and more energetic than before.
Li Jingshu smiled with satisfaction, "That's exactly how it should be! It looks so good this way!"
Li Yunyan boasted shamelessly, "I'm naturally very beautiful!"
"You!..."
Looking at the two beautiful sisters in front of him, and then at the Li family's mansion, a glint of light flashed in Li Mingshan's eyes.
They were all invited by Li Jingshu to the main room for tea.
Shen Fengxian took a sip of the tea in his cup and immediately recognized it as top-grade Longjing tea. He gained a new understanding of the Li family's wealth.
He asked casually, "Is business going well lately, sister? If you've encountered any obstacles, I'd be happy to help you smooth things over!"
"Thank you so much, son-in-law! Our business has been doing very well lately!"
Li Jingshu wanted to praise her sister in front of her brother-in-law, so she said with a smile, "It's all thanks to Yan'er! She gave me some new flower patterns a while ago, and our Huajinge business has been booming lately! Even merchants from other places are coming here to buy goods! We also added three new workshops not long ago, otherwise we wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Yunyan and smiled and winked at her.
Li Yunyan smiled in response. As long as her sister is happy, she'll take care of the rest!
She discreetly observed the expressions of Shen Fengxian and Li Mingshan. No matter what they wanted to do to the Li family, she would not let them succeed!
After lunch, Shen Fengxian made an excuse to leave with Li Mingshan.
Only then did Li Yunyan finally have time to whisper to Li Jingshu.
"Sister! The man next to my husband is Li Mingshan, the one I told you about last time! You mustn't be fooled by him!"
Li Jingshu has been making money happily lately and has no intention of getting married at all. How could she possibly be interested in the ordinary Li Mingshan!
She tapped the tip of her straight nose. "I know! You little busybody, you've said it eight hundred times!"
Li Yunyan pulled on her arm and rubbed against her affectionately, "I was just worried about you!"
"I know! Our Yan'er has grown up!"
Li Jingshu affectionately touched her face and said mysteriously with a smile, "Wait a minute!"
She went into the house, and a moment later, she took out a sandalwood box.
Looking at Li Yunyan expectantly, he said, "Open it and take a look!"
What is it?
As Li Yunyan asked the question, she pulled the lid off.
A whole box full of silver notes!
Her eyes widened. "This! So much!"
"Mmm!" Li Jingshu's smile widened. "It's all from the new fabric! Here, take these!"
"I don't need it!" Li Yunyan pushed the box back to her. "Sister, keep these! I don't need them at all!"
She had taken more than nine thousand taels from Shen's mother, and she hadn't even spent a fraction of it yet!
"Are you stupid! How could you possibly not need the money!"
Li Jingshu pushed the box back to her, "Keep it! This is what you deserve! If it weren't for you, how could I have earned so much! This time, I not only made money, but I also opened up customer sources in other places. In the future, we will only earn more than this!"
Knowing that her sister was good at business, Li Yunyan still advised, "Sister, when your business grows big, people will be envious. You have to keep a low profile!"
"Of course I know that! Keep quiet and make a fortune! Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
She leaned close to Li Yunyan's ear and whispered, "I've gained a big client in Bincheng. He's a royal merchant! He took a liking to our designs and ordered 50,000 taels of silver worth of goods for the first batch! They'll take care of the safety issues; I just need to focus on production!"
Li Yunyan immediately knew that this must be the opportunity for her sister to make a fortune in the original story!
If it weren't for Li Mingshan's meddling, her sister might have become a wealthy woman in Shengjing City!
After thinking for a moment, Li Yunyan turned around and took out a handful of pills from the pouch at her waist.
She handed them to Li Jingshu, saying, "Sister, these pills are incredibly effective. I spent a fortune to buy them from a reclusive master! Keep them with you. If you get injured or feel unwell, be sure to take them immediately!"
"A reclusive master?"
Li Jingshu held those pills in her hands. Were the pills from the reclusive master so easy to buy?
"Yes!" Li Yunyan nodded firmly. "Sister! You must keep these medicines safe! They are very effective! Kang'er can use them too!"
"Okay! I understand!"
Li Jingshu was pleased with her sister's thoughtfulness and carefully put the pills away.
She pushed the box further. "I'll take the medicine! You must keep these silver notes too! Even if you don't need them now, they're good for buying some land or estates."
"Oh well!"
Since her sister is rich, she won't stand on ceremony with her!
