And so, I kept busy until two years later.
Li Huashi started out by opening a perfume shop, and later a grain store, a tavern, and so on, before gradually getting involved in other industries.
From just one store at the beginning, to more than a dozen stores later; from only being in Tianqi at the beginning, to slowly expanding to other places later.
Li Huashi began to slowly integrate into this world, and slowly built her own business, her own reputation, influence, and connections.
Such achievements achieved in two years were of course not only due to the connections around Li Changsheng, but also due to Li Huashi's own efforts.
In addition, some cards purchased by Li Huashi also played a huge role.
One of them was a dancer from the Western Regions, the rumor chaser who had appeared on the sky curtain. Li Huashi discovered that this person was very talented in business and managing subordinates, and she was deeply impressed by Li Huashi.
With Zhui Yao's help, Li Huashi felt a lot more relaxed. Zhui Yao was efficient and motivated. Later on, Li Huashi seemed to want to be a hands-off boss and let Zhui Yao take full responsibility.
Although Zhui Rumor’s level was low at the beginning, it didn’t matter. After all, he was the first helper around him, so it was just about level, wasn’t it?
Up! Spend money to get it to the highest level!
The name Li Huashi has become as powerful as Li Changsheng.
In addition to the special relationship between her and Li Changsheng, it was also because there were many people with different martial arts around her, and among her subordinates, there was even a master like Shenyou Xuanjing.
In addition, in just two years, she had grown from a humble beginning to a person who controlled half of the economic lifeline of Beili.
In the past two years, except for the beginning when Li Huashi temporarily lived in Li Changsheng's house, the two rarely met after she moved out.
Because Li Huashi occupied Li Changsheng's bed, Li Changsheng had to sleep on the roof. So as soon as Li Huashi became rich, she rented a yard and moved out. Later, when she became richer, she bought a big yard and let Li Changsheng move in.
So except for the occasional free time when they can meet, have a meal and keep in touch with each other, they rarely see each other at other times.
Later, Li Huashi traveled all over the country to expand her business. Apart from writing to Li Changsheng every month, the two of them hardly saw each other.
Because Li Huashi didn't ask and Li Changsheng didn't bring it up, Li Changsheng didn't leave with Li Huashi, and Li Huashi didn't stay for Li Changsheng.
. . .
Li Changsheng is very outstanding. If Li Huashi only intends to use him, then she doesn't need to care about the time when she and Li Changsheng first got together.
If Li Huashi hopes to have a future with Li Changsheng in this world.
Then she has to work hard to make herself excellent.
Because she knew very well that if she really fell in love with Li Changsheng in the future, facing such an outstanding Li Changsheng and facing herself who was so powerful on the sky.
She will be anxious about gains and losses, feel inferior, and feel that she is not worthy of him.
I would worry that even if Li Changsheng were with me in the future out of guilt, the one he would miss in his heart would still be the me on the sky.
What's more, people's hearts are fickle. If he only relies on Li Changsheng's guilt, then what if Li Changsheng no longer has this guilt in the future?
And because of the theft from the national treasury, just like what was shown on the sky curtain, I had a falling out with Li Changsheng and stood on opposite sides of each other. What would be my fate then?
Li Huashi had to prepare for the worst, even if she was not worthy of Li Changsheng.
Even if it was just to prevent herself from worrying about gains and losses, and to prevent herself from ending up with nothing if she were to leave Li Changsheng.
Li Huashi must also force herself to become excellent.
Now that the situation has stabilized and with the help of chasing the rumor, Li Huashi has a foundation to stand on, and she can also return to Tianqi.
Back to Tianqi, you can steal from the national treasury!
In a sense, Li Huashi is actually a person who loves to commit suicide.
Although now even if she doesn't steal from the national treasury, she can still walk sideways in this world.
Even if it's the emperor, if he wants to touch me, he has to think twice.
But it could also be an inexplicable obsession.
Li Huashi wanted to test Li Changsheng's bottom line for his guilt towards her.
Will two years allow Li Changsheng to feel at ease and get rid of this guilt?
So when Li Huashi returned to Tianqi, the first thing she did was to take her thief, who was over level 100, to steal from the national treasury.
————————
When Li Changsheng learned about this, his familiarity allowed him to identify the suspect immediately.
Especially after learning that Li Huashi had returned to Tianqi, he had almost identified the 'real murderer'.
Li Changsheng, who didn't find anyone at Li Huashi's house, saw someone familiar on the roof of his own house.
Looking at someone lying on the roof, with his legs crossed, eating cut fruits from a fruit bowl and shaking his feet, he seems to be in a good mood.
Li Huashi noticed the footsteps behind her, looked back, and saw that it was Li Changsheng who came back.
With a chuckle, Li Huashi greeted him.
"Hey, you're back? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Look! I brought you some new wine!"
Li Changsheng pointed at Li Huashi in annoyance: "You, you, you haven't been back for a long time, and you make trouble as soon as you come back!"
Li Huashi played dumb: "What? What basket?"
Li Changsheng smiled: "The national treasury treasures were lost, and only a pair of yellow underwear was left. Wasn't it you who did it?"
Li Huashi said confidently: "Of course not! How could I possibly get into the palace? The palace's defenses are such that an ordinary person like me can't get in?!"
Li Changsheng: "Oh? All the things in the treasury disappeared overnight. Is there anyone else who can do this besides you?"
Li Huashi shook her head proudly: "How should I know~ You said it was me~ Do you have any evidence?"
Li Changsheng: "Okay, stop pretending. Have you figured out how to deal with the rest?"
Li Huashi looked at Li Changsheng and blinked: "What do you mean?"
Li Changsheng: "Salaries for soldiers, guards, and court officials."
Li Huashi: "What does this have to do with me~ Two years ago, the Second Prince intended to frame the Ye Mansion for treason. After being exposed, he was punished by Emperor Tai'an and was also confined to his house. Although the ban has not been lifted to this day, he has never been quiet in secret.
His money and power, with the help of his mother's family, have never been easy. If the emperor is short of money, his son has always wanted an opportunity to be released. With such a good opportunity, shouldn't he share his father's worries? "
Li Changsheng smiled, took the wine jar from Li Huashi's hand, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it.
Li Huashi raised her eyebrows: "Why don't you speak?"
Li Changsheng snorted and shook his head helplessly: "You have even thought about how to deal with it later, what else can I say?"
Seeing that Li Changsheng didn't seem to intend to pursue what she had done, Li Huashi smiled with satisfaction.
