Chapter 657
Yunxi sat up straight.
“Your mother said that she and your father also think you should get involved in the clinic’s affairs. Doctor Feng said so too. The lady from Yiyuantang also agreed and said that they are already drafting the contract, which will be sent over in a couple of days.”
"As for the Xiao family's affairs, that's for the Xiao family to handle themselves; you don't need to worry about it."
Yunxi nodded.
"Also, your father asked you to send him some wine. We just moved here, and we don't have much stock at home. What kind of wine does your father like? I'll have someone go and buy some right now."
Zhong Jie thought that Chen Zongwen was, after all, a scholar, and scholars would drink mainly to liven things up. The Huo family really didn't have these things.
Yunxi twitched the corner of her mouth: "Didn't my father even ask me?"
"...Although it wasn't mentioned in the letter, I'm sure I'm thinking of you."
Yunxi sighed and said, "My father loves to drink strong liquor. He was so happy when he got a jar of strong liquor that his face turned red. But such strong liquor is probably hard to find."
"Strong liquor?" Zhong Jie's eyes lit up.
The Huo family may not have other kinds of liquor, but they have plenty of strong liquor!
"Then I understand. I'll arrange for someone to send it to him in a bit."
"Thank you, Mother."
"You and I are mother and daughter, why are you thanking me?"
After saying that, Zhong Jie got up and left.
Watching her figure, Yunxi's lips curled into a strange smile.
Ji Xiang felt a chill run down her spine just looking at it.
As she flinched, Yunxi looked at her and asked, "Jixiang, has anyone been looking for you lately?"
Jixiang's expression turned serious: "Don't worry, young lady, I've already refused them all."
Before the master of the Su family even arrived in the capital, the servants had already secretly searched for her several times.
After all, Jixiang used to work for Madam Yun and was a trusted confidant; otherwise, Madam Yun wouldn't have asked her to do such a thing.
Although Jixiang is now Yunxi's person, the Su family still sees her as someone who cannot be moved.
In the past few days, Jixiang has truly witnessed what it means to be rich and powerful.
Those people were actually willing to spend hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver on her!
If this had happened earlier, Ji Xiang might have actually turned against them.
However, now that Jixiang's mother is away, and she herself is not short of money while following Yunxi, living a leisurely and carefree life with no ambitions, she has repeatedly and decisively refused.
When Yunxi asked, Jixiang showed no remorse whatsoever.
But Yunxi said, "I was thinking, why don't you agree?"
Jixiang was taken aback again: "Miss, what do you mean by this?"
Yunxi smiled slightly: "Since they are looking for weaknesses, let's just play along, lure them in, and annihilate them in one fell swoop, eliminating any future troubles."
Jixiang and Le'an exchanged a glance.
"Young lady, when did you start reading military books?"
“Go ahead, whatever amount of silver they offer is yours,” Yunxi said.
Jixiang's eyes lit up; "Yes! Then let's wait for them to send someone over, and I'll see how things go. If it's suitable, I'll agree immediately!"
The Su family is very generous!
Who would turn down money?
Le'an, standing to the side, curled her lip, looking envious.
Jixiang glanced at her and said with a smile, "I'll give you some after I receive the money—"
Le'an's eyes suddenly lit up.
"One penny."
Le An: "...Thank you."
