Chapter 79 Don't mess around
Shen Yuexi looked at the content written above, the pen strokes were sharp.
"Whether now or in the future, if I, Xiao Zhuo, ever let you down, I will let you go freely without stopping you. All the money and property belongs to you alone..."
Shen Yuexi's fingertips were pale as she tightly gripped the paper. She sat on the edge of the bed in silence for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Xiao Zhuo's cold face in front of her.
She finally got the guarantee, but why did she feel so empty inside?
"Chen Yuexi, I will never go back on my promise to you," Xiao Zhuo suddenly bent down and approached her fair face. "Since you are uneasy, I will promise you. But you also need to promise me one thing."
Shen Yuexi murmured, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Zhuo looked at her quietly, his eyes deep. He stretched out his fingertips to lift Shen Yuexi's chin, and said emphatically, "Don't try to escape from me."
Shen Yuexi's eyebrows jumped. She didn't expect that Xiao Zhuo could guess what she was thinking.
Indeed, she had originally planned to part ways with Xiao Zhuo once they reached a safe place. However, as they spent time together, she gradually became attracted to him. Furthermore, when Xiao Beiheng imprisoned her, Xiao Zhuo risked his life to save her. This only deepened their relationship.
She began to try to get along with Xiao Zhuo, but she was still uncertain about the future.
She wanted to lower her head, but Xiao Zhuo's fingers lifted her chin, preventing her from escaping. She could only look away and said awkwardly, "How could I run away? It's not like I have too long to live."
She doesn't have the same fighting power as Xiao Zhuo, so it is necessary to have a backer in troubled times.
But what she was thinking had already been noticed by Xiao Zhuo, so she didn't dare to look at Xiao Zhuo's expression at the moment.
She moved back a bit, trying to get further away.
Xiao Zhuo did not let her go, but moved closer and closer. Shen Yuexi could even clearly feel the hot breath on her face.
Xiao Zhuo stared at Shen Yuexi's lustrous lips, which added a touch of glamour to them in the candlelight and shadow, disturbing his gaze and making it gloomy.
Shen Yuexi was about to speak when Xiao Zhuo's thin, cold lips slowly pressed against hers. She froze, realizing what he was doing. She reached out to push him away, but Xiao Zhuo gripped her wrist, his grip gentle but unyielding.
He held her waist with one arm and the back of her head with the other, leaving her no room to escape. He deepened the kiss step by step. She had nowhere to put her hands, so she had to grab his clothes tightly.
She felt dizzy and her breathing became rapid, and she felt a little overwhelmed. She wanted to turn away, but Xiao Zhuo forced her back.
Shen Yuexi's mind was blank, and her big, misty eyes were staring blankly.
When she thought she was going to faint, Xiao Zhuo finally let her go.
Once freed, Shen Yuexi gasped for breath, her face flushed red as she glared at the instigator. However, there was no danger in her gaze, and it even held a seductive, coquettish air.
Xiao Zhuo said nothing.
Shen Yuexi tried to push him away, but after two attempts, she couldn't move him. She had no choice but to lie back and glare at him, "Xiao Zhuo, you're going too far!"
After saying that, she looked away with a flickering gaze, not daring to look directly at Xiao Zhuo.
Xiao Zhuo climbed onto the bed and pressed on her body, his voice low and hoarse: "It's still early, we can do something else."
His eyes were filled with danger, as if he was really planning to do something. Frightened, Shen Yuexi rolled over and pushed him down, pulling the quilt over herself.
"I'm very sleepy and want to go to bed."
After saying that, she turned over and faced the wall, with her back facing Xiao Zhuo, motionless.
Xiao Zhuo lowered his head to look at Shen Yuexi, who was hiding under the quilt. A smile appeared in his eyes, and his low, mellow voice became much warmer.
"As you wish, my lady."
The candlelight in the room flickered gently, and the dim light cast a hazy shadow over his face.
He got on the bed, lay down behind Shen Yuexi, pulled her into his arms, and closed his eyes.
Seeing that Xiao Zhuo really didn't do anything wrong, Shen Yuexi finally felt relieved. She touched her lips and gradually fell asleep.
It was just dawn and Xiao Zhuo had already left.
Yang Cong, who had gone to scout the Western Rong territory, had not yet returned. However, with General Qiu Liming and numerous soldiers protecting her, Shen Yuexi was not worried about her safety.
But without Yang Cong at home, Shen Yuexi has to do everything herself.
I'm afraid I can't rely on Yang Cong in the future.
Thinking of Yang Cong's delight when Xiao Zhuo asked her to be his guide to scout the movements of the Xirong people, Shen Yuexi always felt that the girl might be born to be on the battlefield.
Next she will produce a large amount of antibiotics.
The universal fabricator had already collected a lot of rotten plants, but it was still too little. She planned to go out and look for any suitable materials to collect.
As soon as he left the yard, he saw a man hurrying towards him from a distance. It was none other than Lin, the shopkeeper of the Dongji Town Pharmacy.
"Madam Pei," Shopkeeper Lin said, his face full of excitement as he walked over quickly. "Good news! All the medicine you gave me has been sold. I wonder how much you have left?"
The medicine was truly miraculous. After using it, some patients with persistent diarrhea quickly stopped suffering from the disease, and within three days, they were almost completely cured. Now, not only were people from Dayan buying the medicine, but even merchants from Xirong were scrambling to buy it.
Even the wealthy families made reservations in advance.
Seeing that there was money to be made, Shen Yuexi immediately asked, "How much does the shopkeeper want?"
Shopkeeper Lin rubbed his hands together, looking excited: "I want as many as you can get."
People from faraway places, such as the provincial capital within the Great Wall, heard about this medicine and came here to see its effects.
He was sure that once the word of this medicine spread, the pharmacy's business would be booming.
Shen Yuexi knew it all too well. When Dr. Hua was in Daliang Village, he had made a fortune using garlic capsules.
"As long as Shopkeeper Lin wants it, I can supply you with unlimited supplies."
Why not make money if you have it?
When Shopkeeper Lin heard this, he clapped his hands and laughed, "That's great, haha..."
What a bold move! With admiration in his eyes, he asked, "I wonder if Madam Pei will stick with the original 70/30 split, or will she change it?"
Even if it's a 28% split, his pharmacy can still make a lot of money.
Shen Yuexi smiled calmly and asked, "Does Shopkeeper Lin have any good suggestions?"
Since Manager Lin had said so, she certainly couldn't offend him.
Shopkeeper Lin stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then gave what he thought was a very good answer: "Madam Pei, what do you think of the 28 split?"
For Shopkeeper Yu Lin, there is no cost, at most only a running fee, and everything is done by Shen Yuexi.
Of course, these are not a big deal to Chen Yuexi.
"Shopkeeper Lin, I'll provide the herbs and I'll also make the medicine. It's not appropriate for Shopkeeper Lin to just take the money, right?"
Shopkeeper Lin gave a dry laugh and didn't dare to look at Shen Yuexi.
He runs a pharmacy, not a doctor in the clinic. He is only in charge of the pharmacy's business, so of course he gives priority to business issues.
