Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 184 Betrothal to Jinlan
"Mr. Jiu, why don't you come in and sit down?" Wen Qingwan and Su Xiaomin hit it off immediately and chatted animatedly, but she did not ignore Su Jiu.

"You guys chat first, I'll go downstairs to order food." Su Jiu was so scared when he saw the devil's creepy smile that he ran away.

He turned around and walked out, but as soon as he went out, he bumped into someone coming towards him.

"Hey, Su Jiu, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?" The fourth prince Zhao Che glared at him dissatisfiedly.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry." Su Jiu bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but he thought in his heart: If I don't leave quickly, I will really have to reincarnate!
"Who is in the private room that scared you like this?" Zhao Che now realized why Su Jiu ran away.

But he still couldn't help asking, because he was very curious about who the person was who could make Su Jiu feel like he was facing a great enemy.

"No, nothing..." Su Jiu shook his head and continued walking forward without saying anything more. He was the one who took the initiative to make an appointment with the devil today, and he didn't want to create any more trouble.

"Stop right there." Zhao Che suddenly grabbed Su Jiu's arm with a gloomy face.

"Either you tell me the truth, or I'll go in and take a closer look." He let go only after saying that.

“This…this…” Su Jiu didn’t want to lie to the Fourth Prince, but was also afraid that he would break in and offend the female devil. At this moment, a layer of cold sweat had already seeped out of his back.

When the Fourth Prince saw Su Jiu like this, he frowned slightly and looked very impatient. In fact, he already had a guess in his heart.

Just as he was trying to find an excuse to walk into the private room he had booked, "Our master invites you two in." Jinque stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"Your Highness, please." Su Jiu stood aside and bowed to invite the Fourth Prince to push the door first, and glared at the Fourth Prince fiercely.

The look meant: I told you not to ask too many questions, but now it’s over, don’t even think about escaping.

"Hmph!" The Fourth Prince was so angry that he laughed. He didn't even bother to look at Su Jiu and walked into the room.

What caught my eye was a stunning face. She was talking to the little girl opposite and smiling happily.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised like the sun in the sky, so scorching that the late summer sun seemed much dimmer than her smile.

Her smile revealed confidence and charm. It was the first time that the Fourth Prince saw Wen Qingwan up close.

The Fourth Prince was stunned and stood stupidly at the door without moving.

"Your Madam, Xiao Wen greets the Fourth Prince." Wen Qingwan was not surprised to see the foolish Fourth Prince at the door.

In her previous life, Wen Qingwan had never felt anything for him. She only knew that he had always been following the prince like a follower.

He always has a kind expression, as if everyone can be nice to him.

But after the fifth prince and his family died on the way to their fiefdom, he suddenly exploded and refused to hand over a penny of the money he earned.

He would say that there was a loss even if he was beaten to death, which made it difficult for the court to operate funds. In addition, there were constant wars and natural disasters in those years, and the treasury had long been empty.

At that time, the Fourth Prince controlled the entire maritime trade of the Great Sheng Dynasty. The taxes he paid every year alone were enough to feed the troops on the four borders.

He said he had no money, so which imperial merchant had money to pay taxes?
After all, almost all the eastern pearls and corals in the entire Dasheng were brought back by the Fourth Prince Tonghai during his overseas trips.

The crop seeds and salt of Dasheng were all obtained by the Fourth Prince in exchange for silver.

Finally, the emperor had to compromise and ordered the remains of the fifth prince and his family to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

"Demon... Why is Madam Xiao here?" The Fourth Prince greeted her with some stammering. After all, he was still very young at this time, only nineteen years old.

"My wife has arranged to meet Miss Su here. Young Master Su Jiu loves his sister dearly, so he must escort her here."

Wen Qingwan smiled and said, she knew they secretly called her a female devil, so she deliberately ignored their slip of the tongue. In this life, she took the initiative and ordered people to prepare for the canal transportation to the sea.

She didn't feel guilty towards the Fourth Prince, but she wanted to recruit him. After all, he was a talent in that area, so she was a little friendly to him.

By taking control of Dasheng's economic lifeline, she and Xiao Jin would then have an extra amulet to protect them.

In case Xiao Jin's achievements surpass his master's and the emperor becomes suspicious of him, they can also build a paradise in the unregulated area of ​​the border and live and work in peace.

In short, having money in hand will give you confidence and you won’t be panicking!
The Fourth Prince was surprised to find that when she smiled, there was a pair of dimples on her face, like a bright pearl embellishing her delicate face.

It adds a unique charm to her and she doesn't look like a female devil at all.

The Fourth Prince felt more at ease, "Then your highness and Su Jiu will go out first?"

"It's time for lunch. Let's have a meal together. This is my wife's dinner. You can order whatever you want."

"Obedience is worse than respect. Thank you, Madam Xiao." Su Jiu immediately pulled the Fourth Prince's sleeve and motioned him to sit down.

After all, it was he who made an appointment with the female devil, and his ninth sister told him not to waste his time any longer, and it would be a good idea to be the housekeeper of Madam Xiao's manor.

When Min'er said those words to him, her eyes sparkled. She must have disliked being a playboy.

With Min'er supporting him from behind, Su Jiu felt full of strength. Even if he had to do hard labor on the farm, he would be happy to do it.

"It is fate that we meet today. Let me... treat you to this meal." For some reason, the Fourth Prince felt a little restrained in front of Wen Qingwan.

He attributed this incident to the fact that he had witnessed her beating people without blinking an eye.

"Please take a seat, Fourth Prince. Today, Miss Su and I hit it off right away. We want to become sworn brothers. Please have the Fourth Prince and Young Master Su Jiu be witnesses."

Wen Qingwan no longer has any family from her mother's side. Because of Wen Mingzhu, she has no friends in either life.

As Su Xiaomin was talking to her, she suddenly begged her eagerly to acknowledge her as her sister.

In this life, she was also thinking about having a close friend, so she agreed to Su Xiaomin's request.

"You and her are sworn sisters?" The Fourth Prince was so surprised that he forgot his fear. He thought Wen Qingwan wanted to curry favor with the Su family.

"Well, this is a private matter between the two of us. We don't want to alarm our families. If you are willing, you can be our witness. If not, just pretend you don't know."

"What? You don't want to know my grandfather?" Su Jiu was also shocked. He thought the same as the Fourth Prince, thinking that the evil woman wanted to curry favor with his grandfather.

"Does my wife need to know your grandfather? Who has my husband ever been afraid of in Shangjing City?" Wen Qingwan was very good at bluffing people, and she deliberately released the intimidation of force.

"........."

The Fourth Prince and Su Jiu were originally afraid of her, and now they were even more intimidated by her aura.

"Oh! I just simply like Xiaomin, don't think too much about it." Wen Qingwan saw that they were stunned and slowed down her voice.

Su Xiaomin just had a conversation with Wen Qingwan, and actually learned a lot of modern knowledge and words from her words.

She originally thought that Wen Qingwan was also a fellow villager, and blurted out that she wanted to be her best friend, but she saw that she was confused.

Su Xiaomin tried again without giving up, she was indeed a genuine ancient person.

She was just regretting her impulsiveness, but she said she wanted to be her sworn sister, "I asked her to be my sister."
