"Kuo'er, could you ask your cousin later if that 'love potion' thing is common?"
After much hesitation, Aunt Chi finally asked Meng Kuo.
It was Meng Kuo's cousin who cured the second son's poison.
She really didn't know who to ask.
Although everything is in the past, and Shi Hongxing is dead, how could Shi Hongxing have such a thing?
This has always been a thorn in Aunt Chi's side.
She was really worried.
That thing is so terrifying, how can anyone not be scared?
"What's wrong, Auntie? Has someone used a love charm on Second Brother again?"
Meng Kuo raised an eyebrow, his expression becoming serious and focused.
This question usually indicates that something similar has happened around us.
Otherwise, Aunt Chi wouldn't have asked that question out of the blue.
"It's like this..."
Aunt Chi then recounted the story of Miss Wang Qi.
Just now, Aunt Lou came to tell her the latest developments in the matter.
After being reminded of this, Madam Wang also thought about why her daughter had not been able to have children, even though the doctor said there was no problem.
So I went to my daughter's house, intending to secretly take the Chinese medicine she was drinking.
But little did anyone know that Li Cong was keeping a very close eye on things.
In order not to arouse Li Cong's suspicion, Madam Wang did not make any moves.
Instead, wait!
When the opportunity arose, I obtained the dregs of the medicine!
Then, carrying the dregs of the medicine, I went to several pharmacies in the neighboring county to ask what kind of medicine it was.
Unsurprisingly.
All the answers I got were for contraceptive soup!
This infuriated Madam Wang!
The grandson that the couple had been longing for for so long was ultimately prevented from happening by Li Cong!
They eat the Wang family's food, use the Wang family's products, and then they want to make the Wang family line die out?
Madam Wang was furious and immediately started making a scene.
The situation in Pinghe Town is currently causing quite a stir.
When Wang Qi learned that her inability to conceive was actually due to the actions of her husband, Li Cong, she was in immense pain!
Despite her pain and distress, Wang Qi actually listened to Li Cong's advice and went to persuade Madam Wang not to make a big fuss!
This made Aunt Chi even more suspicious that Miss Wang Qi might also be under the influence of the Lover's Curse.
After all, they all knew how opinionated Miss Wang Qi was before.
How could such a sudden change not arouse suspicion?
"Okay, Auntie, I'll write to my cousin right away and ask. But I can't guarantee when she'll reply."
Meng Kuo had no interest in such matters.
However, since Aunt Chi had already asked him, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Besides, it's just a matter of writing a letter to ask.
"Thank you so much, Kuo'er," Aunt Chi said sincerely.
She wouldn't be able to rest easy until this matter was clarified.
"Auntie, you're too kind. We're all family. Putting aside our relationship, my second brother's business has taken off because of you. He's full of energy every day. I'd like to thank you."
Meng Kuo said this mainly because he didn't want Aunt Chi to overthink things or feel indebted to him.
To be honest, the Meng family should also thank the Chi family.
His second brother loves doing business, but he's not good at anything and has a lot of conflicts with his mother.
In recent years, thanks to the Chi family's knick-knack shop, the second brother has also made a fortune, and he has become more confident.
Their whole family was overjoyed.
"Oh, what are you saying? Business is all about mutual benefit."
"Without your second brother's help, my family's KitKat shop wouldn't have done so well and so quickly."
Aunt Chi couldn't stop smiling.
Who doesn't like to be praised and told nice things?
"Hehe. So, Auntie, with the relationship between our two families, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
In recent years, the Meng and Chi families have exchanged gifts and maintained contact during the Lunar New Year.
Meng Kuo, in particular, received a share of the profits every year from the Qiqiao Shop business.
Although the share is not large, the dividends are extremely high!
Therefore, Meng Kuo's mother, Princess Duanhui, was willing to set aside her prejudices and interact with the Chi family on an equal footing.
"By the way, I heard your second brother is getting married, is that right?"
"Yes, my second brother is not young anymore, and my parents are really worried."
Since making a fortune, Young Master Meng seems to have unlocked his full potential.
Cough cough.
In fact, before he ever considered starting a business, he would always pester Meng Kuo to write a letter and ask Chi Tang for his opinion.
Then Chi Tang would share some of her own thoughts.
Young Master Meng has matured considerably in business due to managing the Qiqiao store.
So, after Chi Tang's guidance, the other businesses I did afterwards, although none of them were very profitable, were still quite good.
Young Master Meng didn't love money that much; he just enjoyed the pleasure of making it.
He secretly donated one-third of the money he earned to the national treasury in the name of the Meng family.
One-third was given to his mother, Princess Duanhui, and the remaining third was kept for his own use.
One-third isn't much; it adds up to only tens of thousands of taels a year.
But both the Meng family and the emperor were very pleased.
For this reason, Emperor Huiwu publicly praised Meng Kuo on several occasions and wanted to specially recruit Meng Kuo to work in the Ministry of Revenue.
But Meng Kuo had other plans and refused.
Princess Duanhui was so angry that she almost died. She chased after Young Master Meng for two streets, disregarding her image!
Although Young Master Meng held no official position, it did not prevent him from becoming a "golden bachelor" in the eyes of the young ladies in the capital.
He comes from a distinguished family and is the eldest son of the principal wife.
Although he wasn't the eldest son, he still received his parents' love and care.
