"He's actually a miserable man! His biological mother is a prostitute, and his father is unknown!"
Qu Li sighed.
She never imagined that Qian Jiuzhao, the richest man in the entire Tianlong Continent, would have such a background.
The deputy pavilion master continued, "What good life can a child of a brothel girl have? He's ordered around every day. The madam saw that he was handsome and even wanted to raise him and make him a prostitute!
That year, the skinny man was so angry that he burned down the brothel and was about to jump into the lake when he was saved by the fifth prince who came to Dagan as a hostage!
From then on, we all lived together. Later, the fifth prince discovered that he had the ability to turn stones into gold, so he gave him some money and let him develop.
It's strange, but over the years, no matter what business Qian Jiuzhao started, he always made a lot of money and never lost money."
Qu Li secretly felt that Qian Jiuzhao had the physique of a koi fish that attracts wealth.
His name should not be Qian Jiuzhao, but Qian Zhaocai.
"I see."
After learning about Qian Jiuzhao's life experience, Qu Li's mood was somewhat affected.
Feng Yi held her hand and applied gentle force.
She tilted her eyes, her tone sincere: "Although I am a vindictive person, but because he is someone you trust, I am willing to turn a blind eye. I also hope that you will not discourage someone who is sincere to you just because you defend me!"
At that time, Feng Yi had just arrived at Dagan as a proton, and his life must have been very difficult.
She felt that anyone who could accompany him through such harsh and miserable days was regarded as a family member by Feng Yi.
Feng Yi stretched out his arms and embraced his beloved woman again.
"Thank you, Li'er!"
A deep, choked sob reached her ears from above her head, and she hugged his waist even tighter.
The deputy leader left quietly, found Qian Jiuzhao, and sat next to him.
"Over the years, I've been deliberately avoiding my own background." Qian Jiuzhao pursed his lips bitterly, "But how can I possibly wash away the dirty blood flowing through my body?"
"Miss Qu was just arguing with you. If she knew, she would definitely not say that to you!"
"Even if others don't tell me, I still don't have any points?"
At this moment, Qian Jiuzhao was surrounded by a gloomy aura, and his eyes, which usually seemed bright and lively, had lost their luster.
The deputy leader felt a little uncomfortable.
"Qian Jiuzhao, you have to live your life to earn your own respect. If you want to be respected by others, you must first respect yourself! Ask yourself, how has the Fifth Prince treated you over the years? Has he ever used your background to embarrass you?"
Qian Jiuzhao said nothing, but the self-deprecating curve at the corner of his lips deepened a little.
The Deputy Pavilion Master's chest was filled with rage. He grabbed his collar and yelled angrily, "Qian Jiuzhao, do you have to be so pretentious?"
"I just feel dirty!"
"Listen carefully, you're not dirty at all! If you say something like that again, I'll definitely beat you to a pulp!"
Qian Jiuzhao smiled.
Even though his background is despicable, he still has so many good friends who are devoted to him!
"Miss Qu asked me to tell you that if she knew your background, she would never say those words."
Qian Jiuzhao was incredulous, his brows almost wrinkled into knots, "Don't try to comfort me on purpose!"
That woman's eyes were filled with calculations that could not be hidden. How could she possibly apologize to him?
Maybe the deputy leader said this on purpose to ease the relationship between them.
Or maybe Qu Li was deliberately pretending to be kind in front of the Fifth Prince.
No matter what, he won't appreciate it.
He was hit on the shoulder and gasped in pain, his eyes full of resentment: "Why did you hit me?"
He was already feeling bad enough, and this guy actually hit him. That was too much!
"I'm warning you, this is the last time! Don't go too far, otherwise, you'll regret it in the future!"
Qian Jiuzhao frowned and said, "What have I done wrong all these years?"
"Okay, okay, do whatever you want! If I care about you again, I'll be a dog!" The deputy leader turned and left.
"Anyway, I will never regret it." Qian Jiuzhao muttered.
Yuan Bao stepped forward and said, "Master Jiu, I don't think Miss Qu is that kind of person!"
Qian Jiuzhao's eyebrows were stern, and he said with disgust: "You know this again?"
"I just think her eyes are quite open, different from the one I saw that day."
Yuanbao has followed Qian Jiuzhao for many years and has some skills in judging people.
He thought about it thoughtfully and decided to put aside the messy preconceived ideas deep in his heart and observe carefully.
If she is really a good woman, then he will respect her in return and help her expand her business as quickly as possible according to the Fifth Prince's instructions.
On the other hand, Feng Yi was very energetic because he had just had a good sleep.
He took Qu Li to the forest where they watched the sunrise together before leaving.
"By the way, I almost forgot, why did you ask Qian Jiuzhao to come and help me?" Qu Li was roasting a pheasant he had just hunted.
The firelight reflected on her face, making her eyes and eyebrows look even more gentle.
He suddenly wished that time could stop so that he could continue to look at his beloved woman like this.
"I want you to have the courage to negotiate with the Emperor."
Qu Li suddenly stopped turning the roast chicken and stared at the man opposite her without blinking.
Their eyes met, and they saw the flames dancing in each other's eyes.
"What terms are you talking about?" Qu Li pretended not to know.
Feng Yi moved closer, held her hand, and continued to turn the roast chicken.
"Leave Dagan, or be given the title of a princess or something."
He returned all the way to Southern Qi and found that many places in the south were experiencing continuous rainfall, while the intelligence collected by the Shadow Pavilion showed that it had not rained in the dry north for nearly a month.
The autumn harvest season is coming soon. If it doesn't rain, there may be a drought.
There are floods in the south and droughts in the north. Even if the country takes ten years to recuperate, it is absolutely impossible for the national treasury to come up with such a large sum of money to deal with the disasters in both the north and the south at the same time.
If Qu Li took out money to provide disaster relief at this time, it would be a great achievement.
Emperor Kangxi is suspicious and will definitely wonder where she got such a large sum of money.
"Changle still doesn't know why she is only a county lord."
The implication is that there is no way Emperor Kang would randomly confer the title of Princess on his former daughter-in-law.
Feng Yi played with her fingers, his eyebrows were gentle, but his eyes were full of determination: "I will definitely do it, don't you believe me?"
His eyes were too deep. Facing such eyes, Qu Li felt that if he said he didn't believe it, it would definitely make him sad and upset, and he would also feel guilty.
"Of course I do."
"These three words are not what I meant." Feng Yi was disappointed. His warm palm fell on her cheek, and then his fingers gently pinched her cheek.
