Chapter 216



"Take a few doses of medicine first and see how it goes. It's hard to say in this situation. It's possible that your memory will suddenly recover, or it's possible..." Doctor Song paused, "You will stay in childhood forever."

Everyone was silent.

The atmosphere was too depressing. Madam Du carefully tugged at Mu Wanqing's sleeve, her face full of fear and trepidation. "Sister, I'm scared. Where are my parents?"

"Your parents..." Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment and looked at Du Shuai. What should she say?

Du Shuai responded quickly, "Your parents have gone to visit relatives and will be gone for a long time. They entrusted you to me to take care of you for a few days."

Even if his wife is confused, he is willing to take care of her and stay with her.

He was worried about leaving the child to others to take care of.

Madam Du had a dazed look on her face. She tugged at Mu Wanqing's clothes and said weakly, "I... want to follow my sister. My sister is a good person."

Somehow, she decided on Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing was also confused. "Well... Uncle is also a good man, and a great hero, a great hero who protects the people at the border."

Mrs. Du pouted, looking unhappy, "But he is a man, and I am a woman."

Du Shuai: ...Avoid suspicion?

Is it not appropriate for men and women to touch each other? Mu Wanqing tried hard to hold back her smile, not wanting to look at Du Shuai's expression.

Miss Du took a few steps forward and smiled kindly at Mrs. Du, "Come home with me. There are a lot of delicious food and fun things at my house, and there are also many children to play with you."

Mu Wanqing persuaded, "Yes, she has a beautiful garden at home. You can pick flowers and play with them every day. She can also make beautiful clothes."

Having food, drinks, toys and beautiful clothes is very tempting to a child, and Mrs. Du was indeed tempted. "Sister, can't you take me in?"

Mu Wanqing said seriously, "I am usually busy making money, and there is no one at home, so I can't take care of you."

Mrs. Du opened her ignorant eyes and asked, "You make money? Where are your parents? Isn't making money the job of adults?"

Mu Wanqing sighed, "My family is really too poor, I have to help supplement the household expenses."

Everyone's mouth twitched. She was best at talking nonsense in a serious manner.

But for Mrs. Du, it was easy to believe, "You are so pitiful, can you come to see me more often?"

"Sure." Mu Wanqing even hooked her little finger with her before sending her away.

Coach Du naturally followed.

Du Shaoxuan stayed, "Doctor Song, why is my mother so strange? She didn't like Wanqing before, but now..."

Her preferences were all turned upside down, she forgot about her family and treated them like strangers.

But it was different towards Mu Wanqing, his eyes were filled with love that was almost overflowing.

"I have always been loved by children." Mu Wanqing has a special physique that makes her particularly popular with children. "Maybe it's because I'm beautiful. Children like beautiful things."

A good-looking face is also a big advantage.

This explanation made Du Shaoxuan purse his lips slightly. Are they not good-looking enough?

Mu Wanqing thought about it seriously, "Besides, it's possible that the first person she saw was me. This is the fledgling complex. Take it slow. As long as people are alive, everything is possible."

"Besides, it's not a bad thing for her to keep her memory at the age of six. She doesn't have to face the cruel reality and can live in the best time. You will also take good care of her, which is good."

She really thought it was a good thing. If Mrs. Du woke up, who knows what she would do.

There are not so many calculations in the children’s world, only simplicity and brightness.

Du Shaoxuan sighed softly. This was the only way.

Mu Wanqing did not interfere in the Du family's affairs, but just sent more people to protect her parents and brother to prevent anyone from taking advantage of them.

When she was free, she kept her promise and visited Mrs. Du. Mrs. Du was living a good life, well-dressed and with a carefree smile on her face. Du Shuai was by her side, and they were both very happy.

Time passed quickly and the cotton picking season came. Mu Wanqing traveled around every day to check on the growth of cotton.

Cotton is the top priority of this year's work, and she is extremely concerned about it. She not only wants to make cotton the signature of Xiliang and make the people of Xiliang warm and prosperous, but she also has other ideas.

It was a rare trip back to the city, so she first went to Tongfu Inn where the diplomatic corps was staying. This inn was contracted by three diplomatic corps and did not do business with outsiders.

Tongfu Inn is Mu Wanqing's property. When they saw her come in, everyone was respectful to her.

She first went to see the Minister of the Ministry of Rites to inquire about the progress of the negotiations. The Minister of the Ministry of Rites smiled bitterly and continued to haggle, saying that Beichu and Xiwu each had their own little plans.

As they were talking, there was a noise outside the window. Mu Wanqing frowned slightly, "What's the noise?"

The servant reported, "The Xiwu delegation is clamoring to eat cream cakes immediately. This exceeds the advance payment, and they are making a fuss."

According to the reception standards set by Mu Wanqing, each person will have three dishes, one soup and one snack, accommodation is free, and the rest is up to you.

Mu Wanqing listened attentively for a while, and then became impatient. "Gather all the members of the negotiation team. I have something to say."

In the conference room, everyone saw Mu Wanqing, who was several shades tanned but full of energy.

Hu Tu was the first to speak out, "Princess Qingping, you are the chief envoy, but you just disappeared without a trace. How irresponsible..."

Mu Wanqing waved her hand and spoke directly, "I just want to say a few words. You have all come to Liangcheng for a while, but there has been no progress so far. We in Liangcheng have paid a huge price to entertain you..."

Hutu frowned, "What do you mean?"

What's the price? They are locked up every day, and can't run around. They can only wander around in the area they have marked out. There are restrictions on eating, drinking and having fun, okay?

Mu Wanqing thought they were wasting time and energy, as well as Xiliang's taxes.

"In other words, Xiliang is almost bankrupted by you and can no longer afford to entertain you. You have three days to come up with a negotiation result. After three days, you can either leave or pay 100 taels of silver per person per day."

The King of Yan was so angry that he laughed. He went broke from eating? How could she say that? Shameless!

"One hundred taels? Why don't you go and rob people? Besides, we buy things every day, so you can make a lot of money..."

Mu Wanqing interrupted impatiently, "One thing is one thing, no one forced you to spend money, everything was voluntary, right?"

These guys have almost taken out all the money in their pockets, and Mu Wanqing doesn't like to deal with them.

She looked disgusted and said, "There is not enough money for hospitality. Sorry, I can't entertain you anymore. Just do as I say."

"This won't do..." Hu Tu was so angry that his mouth was crooked.

Mu Wanqing's eyes were filled with fear. "I am informing you, not asking for your consent. Do you understand?"

She quickly sent these people away, as she would then be in charge of cotton picking and a series of subsequent work.

They're getting in the way here and it's so annoying.

After saying this, she stood up and said in a domineering manner, "Those who don't understand human language, let the sword serve them."

Damn, everyone's face changed drastically, what a rude and domineering guy!

You know what, after she made such a harsh remark, the subsequent progress was very fast.

The three countries quickly reached an agreement, became friendly brothers, and signed a non-aggression treaty for 50 years. Northern Chu and Western Wu each sent 200,000 cattle and 200,000 sheep to Great Qi.

The Great Qi gave them each 5,000 pieces of cloth and 5,000 kilograms of tea bricks.

There was no talk of a defeated country on the surface, it was just a simple exchange of gifts, but those who understand know that the values are not equal.

The cloth is coarse and the tea bricks are made of the lowest grade tea, which is not worth much.

But at least all parties saved face.

As for the shopping mall cooperation, Xiwu and Beichu are both interested, but the details have not been finalized, and both parties are striving to maximize their benefits.

Mu Wanqing was not in a hurry and told the delegation to get out three days later.

She was simple and rough, and if they didn't obey, she would let the guards point bows and arrows at them and crush them with force.

Anyway, the armistice agreement has been signed and they are of no use anymore.

As for business cooperation, the bait has been put out and naturally those who are willing to take the bait will do so. Don't be in a hurry and take it slow.

King Yan was speechless. Although Mu Wanqing was a woman, she was cruel and ruthless and could do anything.

"Princess Qingping seems to be very anxious. Is there something unspeakable going to happen?"

Mu Wanqing snorted coldly, not knowing how to speak human language. "You have been staying here shamelessly, aren't you just trying to find out about the cotton?"

The King of Yan's eyes lit up and his expression changed immediately, "Princess Qingping, we are now brothers and friends, you have to share the cotton with us."

Hu Tu couldn't wait to chime in, "Yes, yes, let's share good things together."

There are so many good things in Xiliang, and he wants everything.

If he had enough force, he would really like to plunder the entire Liangcheng and take everything home.

Mu Wanqing looked at them coldly, "How do we share?"

The King of Yan asked for things with confidence, "Send us some seeds and send someone to teach us how to plant and make cotton cloth."

"Yes, yes, yes, we have to ask the church to come. It would be even better if Princess Qingping goes there in person."

The Da Qi delegation was stunned by their shamelessness.

Mu Wanqing was very calm and raised her eyebrows, "What benefits can I get?"

The King of Yan was shocked, as if he saw a child who was making trouble for no reason. "We are friendly countries."

Mu Wanqing laughed angrily. The same trick used to fool the ignorant people was used to fool her? "Oh, then I want the fifteen cities of Youzhou. We are friendly countries. You will definitely fulfill my wish, right?"

This is the northern barrier of Northern Chu, connected to the territory of Great Qi.

She looked at Hutu and said, "I want the thirteen cities of Mingzhou. You will also fulfill my wish, right? We are friendly countries."

This is the western gate of Xiwu, which is also connected to the territory of Da Qi.

King Yan: ...

Hutu: ...

Lost, lost. When it comes to shamelessness, they are no match for Mu Wanqing.

The envoys from the Great Qi were extremely delighted and started to clamor for them to exchange their territory.

The two could only pretend to be dead.

Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the cotton cloth will be sold to you." How could they miss these two huge markets?

As for the price, she decides it.

This is not the result that Xiwu and Beichu want. How can they allow the pricing power to be in the hands of others and be manipulated by them?

What they want is the entire industrial chain that belongs to them from head to toe.

However, Mu Wanqing was too strong, and they tried their best but failed to gain any advantage from her.

They could only plan to leave in shame.

Suddenly, Mu Wanqing locked her eyes on a man, "Agudamu, you stay."

Agudamu was very inconspicuous among Xiwu's guards.

However, as soon as these words came out, his body shook violently and he pretended not to hear them.

Hu Tu's face changed drastically. "Princess Qingping, what do you mean? Taking hostages? Don't even think about it."

Mu Wanqing's lips curled up slightly, her eyes full of evil interest, "Agudamu, this is just your alias, your real identity is..."

The author has something to say:

I got up early in the morning to finish a manuscript, and then went out to do some work. I felt so sleepy. The weather outside was as hot as a furnace, and I felt sad.
