This was the second time Jing Zhe had directly asked Zhou Ziqiong to be his wife, and Zhou Ziqiong blushed instantly again.
Should I become Jing Zhe's wife or not?
It's definitely not going to happen, or rather, Zhou Ziqiong hasn't decided yet at this stage.
Brushing a few strands of long hair away from her forehead, Zhou Ziqiong said softly, "Zhe'er, this money... just give it to us..."
"Does Sixth Sister agree?"
Jing Zhe was overjoyed.
"Who agreed? You're my brother, what's wrong with you helping your sister out?"
Zhou Ziqiong glared at Jing Zhe and said with dissatisfaction.
"..."
Jing Zhe was speechless for a moment. Women are indeed hypocritical.
Seemingly trying to avoid the topic, Zhou Ziqiong asked curiously, "By the way, Zhe'er, you just said that the fabric shop will be busy starting tomorrow, but what will they be busy with?"
Hearing Zhou Ziqiong ask this, Jing Zhe also became interested.
"Sixth Sister, I've come up with a brilliant idea that can help the Zhou Family Cloth Shop make a comeback. If it succeeds, the Zhou Family Cloth Shop will not only avoid losing a single penny, but will also make a fortune!"
"What's a good idea?"
Zhou Ziqiong blinked her big, watery eyes and asked curiously.
In fact, Zhou Ziqiong had a guess about what Jing Zhe was talking about, and she didn't have high hopes for it.
Given the current situation of Zhou Family Cloth Shop, based on Zhou Ziqiong's many years of business experience, if it wants to be reborn, it must cut off one arm, that is, completely clear out all the cotton and cotton-padded clothes in the warehouse, continue to go back to the old business, and follow the old path. That is the advantage of Zhou Family Cloth Shop.
There are two problems with choosing to return to the old business. First, it requires a lot of capital, and second, the return on investment is too slow. Moreover, Zhou Gui spent all his wealth to buy cotton from the Prince of Jin. If he chooses to clear out the warehouse, the losses will be huge.
So no matter how you look at it, it's basically impossible for Jing Zhe to say that he "won't lose a single penny." However, the only thing he would lose is his own money.
Jing Zhe said with a smile, "Actually, this great idea is all thanks to Sixth Sister!"
"Thanks to me?"
Zhou Ziqiong was a little confused, "What did I do to deserve this?"
"Sixth Sister, aren't you having your period?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziqiong's cheeks, which had returned to normal, turned bright red again.
"Sixth Sister, you don't need to feel embarrassed! Didn't I tell you before that I have a wife now, so I naturally know about menstruation? Besides, it's a very normal phenomenon; every woman experiences it, and Sixth Sister is no exception!"
"..."
Zhou Ziqiong looked at Jing Zhe, but still didn't say anything.
Just as Jing Zhe was about to try to persuade her again, Zhou Ziqiong glanced at him and said, "I was thinking about it just now. Did Huaqin really tell you? Based on my understanding of Huaqin, she wouldn't be so talkative. Should I call her over and ask her now?"
"..."
Jing Zhe was taken aback, but immediately understood.
The reason why Zhou Ziqiong is so conflicted is probably not just because she is shy about having her period. Her shyness is more likely because her period stained her skirt and she is embarrassed that he did not see it!
If he says that Huaqin didn't tell him, he indirectly admits that he saw her skirt was stained. But if he continues to say that Huaqin told him, what if Zhou Ziqiong brings Huaqin to confront him?
After thinking it over, Jing Zhe made up his mind and said, "Sixth Sister, it wasn't Huaqin who told me, but I guessed it myself. I was afraid that you would be embarrassed, so I said it on purpose."
"Did you really guess it yourself?"
Zhou Ziqiong tilted her head and asked.
"Absolutely! I have so many wives, and they all have their periods every month. I know exactly what kind of pain they experience and what their reactions are like during their periods! That's why I guessed it!"
"Oh, I see!"
Zhou Ziqiong nodded, seemingly finally believing it.
Seeing this, Jing Zhe finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Do you think my dress will still be washable?
"Of course!"
Jing Zhe blurted out, "Add some salt, then wash with cold water, and the bloodstains will come off!"
"..."
After he finished speaking, Jing Zhe was stunned for a moment, staring at Zhou Ziqiong with wide eyes.
Looking at Zhou Ziqiong again, she gritted her teeth, her face full of anger.
"You still say you didn't see it!"
"Miss, Pavilion Master Mu and the others have arrived!"
"..."
Just as Zhou Ziqiong was about to explode, the sound of the zither appeared again, saving Jing Zhe once more…
...
Prince Yu's Mansion.
"Your Highness, Old Dog and the others have been arrested by Governor Yu!"
Both Boss Gou and Song Dalu went to cause trouble at the Zhou family's cloth workshop on the orders of Prince Yu and Master Qu.
Since it was inconvenient for Prince Yu and Master Qu to go to the scene, Master Qu sent someone to keep watch outside the Zhou family's cloth shop. As soon as there was any news, Master Qu was informed. Master Qu then rushed to Prince Yu's residence and gave Prince Yu the firsthand information.
Upon hearing the news of Boss Gou's arrest, the Crown Prince of Yu's eyes were filled with contempt: "That old dog, I knew he was unreliable from the first glance, and sure enough, the Zhou family's cloth shop owed them money, yet he still managed to mess things up!"
"Yes, that old dog is really awful!"
Master Qu echoed his sentiments from the side.
As Zhou Family Cloth Shop's biggest competitor in Ruzhou City, Qu Family Cloth Shop has always been eyeing Zhou Family Cloth Shop's suppliers. However, Zhou Family Cloth Shop's business had been booming before, so those suppliers were unwilling to associate with Master Qu.
Things are different now. When Master Qu extended an olive branch again, Boss Gou was the first to agree. And with his persuasion and the benefits offered by Master Qu, the other suppliers also began to turn against him, which led to what happened today.
But since the people were brought by Master Qu, and things had turned out this way, he was also embarrassed. So after cursing, he said, "Young Master, that guy surnamed Jing is too cunning! I heard that he tore up all of Lao Gou's IOUs, and then Governor Yu listened to him without even asking any questions and took the people away directly. Lao Gou suffered a loss at his hands!"
After calming down, the Crown Prince of Yu nodded: "Yu Li is in cahoots with him. If he doesn't help, I would find it strange!"
He then sneered, "But it doesn't matter. I didn't really expect to bring down the Zhou family's cloth shop with the help of those old dogs! Anyway, we're not in a hurry. The Zhou family's cloth shop can't sell its goods right now and is losing money every day. Sooner or later, it won't be able to hold on!"
Upon hearing this, Master Qu immediately nodded and repeatedly agreed.
The Crown Prince of Yu thought for a moment and then said, "By the way, how is Song Dalu from the West Ward doing? Wasn't he also planning to cause trouble at the Zhou Family Cloth Shop today?"
“At this time, Song Dalu should be at Zhou’s cloth shop. I was busy reporting to the Crown Prince and didn’t keep an eye on things.”
No sooner had Master Qu finished speaking than a servant rushed in.
