Yes, it is impossible to explain every single thing in the world clearly.

"I understand what you mean, ma'am. I will also be a partner, but I have one thing to say..." She finally said with a smile.

"Madam, please speak!" Xu Sumin made a 'please' gesture.

"In the future, I will only take 10% of the profits from the farm, and at the same time, you have to pay 10% of the total investment. I don't know about labor, materials, etc., so please list the details and convert them into the required silver, and I will pay it all at once."

"Isn't this only 10% a little less?" Xu Sumin frowned.

"Madam has said that if this farm can be successful, it will make a lot of money in the future. This 10% is different from the 10% of an ordinary shop. If it really makes a lot of money as Madam expected, then I have gotten a great deal." Shen Xinyan said with a smile.

Xu Sumin stared at her for a while and smiled: "I was right, Madam is a kind person! In this case, it is just as Madam said."

"Also, I am joining in my personal capacity and using my own dowry money. It has nothing to do with the Duke's Mansion. Madam, do you agree?"

"This..." Xu Sumin was a little hesitant.

"Don't worry, madam. I have one more request. Please continue to act according to your original plan and don't worry about me. In other words, if you think that Mr. Qiao Liu is a suitable candidate for cooperation, please go ahead." Shen Xinyan saw her hesitation and continued.

She didn't want to disrupt Xu Sumin's life decision. If something went wrong and her achievements in this life were to be worse than in her previous life, wouldn't she, as a partner, be at a disadvantage?

Xu Sumin immediately understood what she meant. After a brief thought, she nodded and agreed: "Then it's just as you said, Madam!"

Although she joined in her personal capacity, it was an indisputable fact that she was the wife of the Duke of England, which indirectly connected her to the Duke of England. Moreover, this matter would not affect her efforts to attract other more powerful partners. In the end, she had gained a great advantage.

"But I also have a request. Madam, your 10% share of the profits is really too little. How about 20%?"

"Deal!" Shen Xinyan agreed happily.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they reached a consensus.

When leaving Ruyi Pavilion, both Shen Xinyan and the two little ones she brought with her were very satisfied. The former suddenly found another way in life; the latter got the unique toy they liked.

Xiao Yingzhi smiled so hard that her big eyes curved into two crescent moons. Linfu was a little more reserved, but his eyes, which were obviously brighter than usual, revealed his joy. Seeing the two little guys so happy, Shen Xinyan couldn't help but feel a little happier. She couldn't help but pinch her daughter's rosy cheeks and rub Linfu's forehead.

There was a long neigh from the horse, and then the carriage stopped abruptly, almost throwing Shen Xinyan and others out of the carriage. Although they escaped unharmed, Xiao Yingzhi and Pingfu were unlucky enough to hit each other's foreheads. The little girl cried out in pain, and Pingfu also covered his forehead with his hands, tears welling up.

Shen Xinyan quickly hugged her daughter to comfort her, and gently checked her forehead. Qiutang held Pingfu to check his wound, and saw a red spot on his forehead. She looked at the fourth girl in the lady's arms and saw that she was also like that, so she quickly took out the plaster from the secret compartment in the car and applied it to the two of them.

The cool feeling covered up the pain on his forehead, the little girl's crying gradually stopped, and Pingfu also wiped away his tears.

"Madam, a child suddenly rushed out from the intersection ahead, so we had to stop the car abruptly." A maid had already found out the reason for the emergency stop and reported.

Shen Xinyan nodded to show that she understood, and then reminded him again: "Is the child injured? If he is injured, find someone to take him to the doctor, and don't make things difficult for him."

"yes."

"Is that Xinyan?" After comforting his daughter, he checked Pingfu's injuries. Qiutang had already been packed up in the car. Shen Xinyan was about to give instructions to return home when she heard a woman calling from outside the car.

"Madam, it's Minister Li's wife." Qiutang opened the curtain a little, peeked out, and replied.

It was Luo Xiuxiu... Shen Xinyan had a headache and wanted to pretend she didn't hear anything and continue to walk away, but Luo Xiuxiu in the other room didn't see her answer and said, "It's a rare opportunity to see you, why don't you let me take a ride? You won't disagree, right?"

Having said that, it would be hard for her to pretend she didn't hear anything. She could only clear her throat and say, "Sister Luo, please talk in the car."

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Xiuxiu stepped up on a small stool, glanced at the people sitting in the car, and finally squeezed out Lin Fu, who was sitting on the right side of Shen Xinyan, and sat down herself.

Pingfu pouted a little unhappily but didn't say anything in the end. He moved obediently to Qiutang's side and secretly glared at Luo Xiuxiu when no one was paying attention.

This lady is so annoying for taking someone else's position!

"Ever since you became the prince's wife, it has become increasingly rare to see you." Luo Xiuxiu brushed her skirt and said slowly.

Without waiting for Shen Xinyan to speak, she looked at little Yingzhi who was holding her mother's hand and acting coquettishly, "This is your daughter, right? I haven't seen her for a long time. She has grown up so much. She looks about 70% like you when you were a child."

"Ying'er, call her Aunt Luo." Shen Xinyan smiled and whispered to her daughter.

The little girl looked up at Luo Xiuxiu and called out obediently, "Aunt Luo."

"Good girl." Luo Xiuxiu replied perfunctorily. She glanced at Shen Xinyan who was hugging her daughter and thought to herself, "She's just a little girl. Look at how precious she is."

Thinking about how she had given birth to three daughters in a row and no son at all, and how difficult it would be to get pregnant again in this lifetime, her eyes dimmed. She felt that God was extremely unfair to her.

Especially when she thought of those unsightly concubines and illegitimate children at home, her heart felt as if someone was squeezing it.

"Sister Luo, why are you so interested in going out for a walk today?" Shen Xinyan asked casually, not knowing what she was thinking.

"I heard that a new Ruyi Pavilion opened on this street, so I came to take a look." Luo Xiuxiu answered absent-mindedly, suddenly remembering the purpose of her getting in the car. Looking at Shen Xinyan again, she suddenly felt a sense of superiority in her heart.

Who said Shen Xinyan didn't have any worries in her inner house? I'm afraid she was just confused and didn't even know it!

She cleared her throat and put on a gentle smile, saying, "Xinyan, don't keep anything up in your heart, tell me about it. Although we haven't seen each other much since we got married, we are sisters who have known each other for many years. There's nothing we can't talk about, right?"

Shen Xinyan was stunned by her earnest tone and asked in confusion, "How could I be unhappy?"

"Hey, what is our relationship? We have known each other since childhood, what is there to hide between you and me? It's just that your husband has a mistress, right? You can't tolerate any sand in your eyes, and you have promoted those unpresentable people in vain."

"After all, I am the legally married wife, so I should be as magnanimous and virtuous as the legal wife. Besides, when a man acts outside, it is inevitable that he will act according to circumstances. When he gradually calms down, he will come back to you, right?" Luo Xiuxiu thought she was just trying to save face, and advised her with a distressed look on her face.

Concubine? Shen Xinyan was stunned again and looked at Qiu Tang subconsciously.

Qiu Tang's face turned slightly pale, and she moved her lips as if to explain, but she realized that this was not the right time, so she could only smile bitterly and shook her head at her.

Shen Xinyan was unsure of what she meant, and slowly looked at Luo Xiuxiu: "How did Sister Luo know about this?"

"Don't you know?" Luo Xiuxiu looked surprised.

"It's spread everywhere outside, saying that your prince... Oh, I'm just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." After a while, she pretended to have let the cat out of the bag inadvertently.

"Oh, so that's it!" Shen Xinyan nodded, lowered her head calmly, and lovingly kissed her daughter on the forehead who was yawning and a little sleepy, as if she had no interest in what she had just said.

Luo Xiuxiu thought she was just being stubborn and calmly picked up a piece of snack and put it into her mouth, not noticing Lin Fu's angry expression.

This lady is so annoying! This is his snack!

After a quarter of an hour, seeing that Shen Xinyan was still as still as a mountain, she couldn't help herself and gently touched her arm: "Hey, do you really not know that your husband has a mistress outside?"

Shen Xinyan looked at her and didn't answer.

Luo Xiuxiu looked sympathetic, "I didn't lie to you. All the ladies in Beijing have spread the news that the Prince of Ying has a mistress. Look, she's in Bali Hutong. We even have the address. How could it be false?"

"If you don't believe it, send someone to Bali Hutong to inquire."

Shen Xinyan's chest tightened and her expression changed slightly.

It even has an address, could it be real?

When she first heard the old women in the mansion talking about it, she guessed that it was mostly Fang's indulgence and did not take it too seriously.

But now, she was a little uncertain.

In his previous life, Wei Junhang had only her by his side. He did not have concubines, illegitimate children, or other things that would make the wife of the main wife upset. At least, although she did not care too much about her husband in her previous life, she was still very satisfied that he was so self-disciplined.

What if in this life...

She was startled and immediately drove the thought away.

No way, no way. He hasn't even touched the maid given to him by the Grand Princess, so how could he have a mistress outside?

After realizing this, her heart gradually calmed down.

Their relationship in this life has improved a lot compared to the previous life, and she will never let anyone or anything separate them! Whether it's true or not, if he didn't say it himself, she would never believe it!

Seeing that she remained silent, Luo Xiuxiu felt bored, so she got off the car at the previous intersection and got on her own carriage and left.

Wei Junhang did not come back at dinner time that day. Shen Xinyan had dinner with the three children, talked with them for a while, and then let them go.

After she showered and changed her clothes, Wei Junhang finally appeared.
