Chapter 356: Not Used
"You still remember to come back?" Madam Li glanced at her daughter and snorted, "I thought Miss Yan was going to take root in Taohua Village."
Daohua stood still obediently, letting Madam Li scold her. After she finished, she smiled and came over to shake Madam Li's arm: "Mother, I wanted to come back earlier, but didn't I happen to come back because Xiao Yeyang was going to build the Liuli Factory?"
Madam Li looked over and asked, "What does the young prince's building of Liulichang have to do with you?"
Daohua glanced at the people in the room and saw that only Pingtong and Pingxiao were there. She chuckled softly and said, "Xiao Yeyang said that he would give 50% of the profits of the Liuli Factory to me and my three brothers. I will give 20%, and my eldest brother and the others will each give 10%."
"What?!" Mrs. Li was shocked.
Ever since the master told her about the Liulichang last time, she has been paying attention to the news in this regard recently. Although the production of glass has not started yet, the current price of glass in the market is enough to imagine how profitable the Liulichang will be.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people watching.
Fifty percent profit, how much money does that require?
"You're taking so much, aren't you taking advantage of the young prince? Over the years, although the young prince hasn't openly helped our family, we've benefited greatly from him. Although you gave us the Liuli recipe, it was someone else who made it. You're not allowed to take advantage of him just because you have a good relationship with him."
Daohua was annoyed: "Mom, what are you talking about? Is your daughter the kind of person who takes advantage of others? Xiao Yeyang offered the 50% profit voluntarily. If I didn't accept it, he would get angry with me."
"Besides, I didn't take it for nothing. Besides the recipe, I've also been helping him build the Liuli Factory. Even though I was just talking, I still feel like I contributed."
Madam Li looked at her daughter and said calmly, "So you've been living in Peach Blossom Temple with the young prince all this time?"
Daohua's expression froze. Seeing that Mrs. Li's face was not very good, she lowered her head and dared not look at her.
Madam Li sighed, "You'll be thirteen soon, already a grown-up girl. When you were younger, you had more frequent interactions with the young prince, which wasn't a big deal. But now that you're older, if you continue to behave like this and someone with ulterior motives sees you, they might fabricate something. By then, your reputation will be ruined."
"We women are not as good as men. Once our reputation is tarnished, it will last a lifetime. It will be difficult for you to marry into a good family in the future."
Speaking of getting married, Daohua instinctively felt a sense of resistance and whispered, "Mom, I understand. I will be more careful in the future."
Not wanting to continue discussing this with Madam Li, Daohua quickly changed the subject, "Mom, when is my eldest brother planning to leave for his hometown?"
Madam Li glared at Daohua, but didn't continue. She followed her lead and said, "Wait a few days."
Daohua: "Do we need to go back so early?"
Madam Li shook her head. "It's getting late. We'll be delayed on the road for at least ten days. If we go back and recuperate for another two days, it will be the day of the provincial examination."
Daohua nodded and said, "Then I'll prepare some food for Big Brother to eat on the road."
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "That's great. Your eldest brother also likes the snacks you make."
The day before Yan Wenxiu left, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao returned from the military camp, followed by Xiao Yeyang, Dong Yuanxuan, and Su Hongxin. Zhou Chengye also came, but he came from Wangyue Academy with Wu Hongda.
Mrs. Li was happy about the arrival of Xiao Yeyang and others, but at the same time, she was a little worried.
My daughter is lively and cheerful, and gets along well with several people. But as she grows older, if she continues to get along with other men, I am worried that it will damage her reputation. I am also worried that she will develop other feelings for me as they spend so much time together.
Although the Yan family is getting better and better, there is still a big gap between them and the Dong family and the Su family, not to mention the little prince who is from the royal family.
If my daughter develops a secret crush on one of the three men, she will be the only one who gets hurt in the end.
But what surprised her was that this time, the little prince, who always liked to stay close to her daughter, actually spoke to Wen Xiu and the others politely. Except for greeting his daughter in the old lady's room, he followed etiquette and rules at other times.
This made her feel a lot more at ease.
Xiao Yeyang's behavior not only surprised Madam Li, but also Dong Yuanxuan and others. They all looked at Daohua involuntarily. Is he having a conflict with Sister Yan again?
However, the two haven't been together recently!
Daohua was also a little uncomfortable. In the past, when Xiao Yeyang came to her house, he would always say a few words to her, but this time, he just said hello and that was it.
After dinner, Daohua frowned as she watched Xiao Yeyang go straight to the guest house with Dong Yuanxuan and the others without even glancing at her. She muttered, "What the hell is this guy doing?"
When you are used to someone's attentiveness, and suddenly that person becomes distant, it is inevitable that you will feel uncomfortable.
This is how Rice Flower feels at this moment.
Because Yan Wenxiu was going back to his hometown tomorrow, the Yan family stayed in the old lady's room and chatted for a while after dinner.
Just as Old Lady Yan and the others were taking turns instructing Yan Wenxiu, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao, who were sitting below, began to mutter softly, while Daohua sat beside them and listened silently.
Yan Wenkai cracked some melon seeds while saying, "Third brother, do you feel that the young prince has become much more profound now?"
Yan Wentao nodded. "Of course I felt it. I think he was annoyed by those people who were watching Liulichang. Just think about how many people have come to Ningmenguan to look for the young prince."
Yan Wenkai said angrily, "Those people are really enough. Didn't Kyoto also build a Liulichang? Why don't they keep an eye on Kyoto?"
Yan Wentao said calmly, "I heard that the Emperor is personally watching over Kyoto Liulichang. Who would dare to do that? Those people just think that the young prince is young and inexperienced, so they think they can come and get involved."
"They don't even think about it. The young prince has even refused Governor Guo's help, so how could he allow others to dictate his decisions?"
Yan Wenkai lowered his voice and said, "I heard someone broke into Liulichang. I wonder if they wanted to steal the recipe or something else?"
Hearing this, Daohua was shocked: "Is there such a thing?"
Yan Wentao nodded: "But it didn't work. The young prince was prepared and those people were arrested."
Yan Wenkai clicked his tongue twice: "If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't have known that the young prince's methods were so sharp and decisive. I heard that there are people from the Jiang family involved."
Daohua asked quickly, "What did he do?"
Yan Wentao glared at Yan Wenkai: "Nothing!"
Yan Wenkai smiled awkwardly. He really shouldn't talk about fighting and killing with his sister. He quickly changed the subject: "Big sister, are you having another conflict with the young prince?"
Daohua glanced at the two of them, without asking about the previous matter, and said calmly: "What conflict? I haven't even seen him, how can there be a conflict?"
