Chapter 1568: 1568 buy iron mine 1

"Yes," Wang Kai bowed his head low, and Shen Yun did not see his sinister expression. How could he possibly want to kill Shuang’er?

"If there’s nothing else, you may leave now."

"Your subordinate takes his leave."

After Xiao Chonghuan returned to the East Garden, Shen Yun briefly mentioned Shuang’er’s disrespect towards her and how she had someone send her away. As usual, Xiao Chonghuan did not inquire about the disappearance of a servant girl.

Therefore, Shen Yun wasn’t very angry about her husband seeking a servant girl’s company for the night.

Gongsun Qianru waited in the yard all day but did not see Xiao Yuchuan send anyone to find her.

In frustration, she played the guqin, trying to gain his appreciation and favor.

Unfortunately, several days passed like this, and Xiao Yuchuan remained indifferent to her. So, she made desserts every day and took them to him, like a virtuous woman would.

Without exception, Xiao Yuchuan never ate the food she made. In fact, it was the servants who prepared it, and she merely took it to him.

Meanwhile, Su Qingyue had found that the mine mountain was rich in iron and learned that the owner of that mountain was a rich merchant from the capital city named Jia Baoyu.

Since the merchant Jia had gone on a business trip and had not returned, Qingyue waited for him to come back to the capital.

At the same time, the farmhouse she had bought near the capital had been demolished, and workers were constructing new buildings according to her blueprints.

The two thousand acres of good fields under her name were also being cultivated in full swing.

Qingyue was very busy, investigating and researching various ways to make money.

Opportunities for commerce in ancient times were certainly more plentiful than in modern times.

Any product in modern times, such as skincare products, did not exist in ancient times.

Earning money from women seemed to be an easier task.

Su Qingyue had set up a special pharmacy inside the Su Mansion she acquired in the capital city, where she was developing an ordinary moisturizing cream.

In ancient times, most peasant women did not even have basic skincare products to apply on their faces, leaving their skin dry, cracked, and dull.

After several days of experimentation, she emerged from the pharmacy holding a small porcelain bottle.

Catching a glimpse of Maid Yinzhu waiting at the door, whose face was also so dry it was cracking, she said, "Zhu’er, take this and apply a little."

Yinzhu took it and opened the bottle to smell, "Young Lady, what is this?"

"It’s a moisturizing cream for the face. If your skin is dry, apply a little and it’ll become moisturized," Qingyue explained.

"Really? That’s amazing?" Yinzhu dabbed a bit onto her face and immediately felt relief from the dry cracking, "Young Lady, this is truly incredible, did you invent this?"

"Yes, this is just a basic moisturizing cream. Apply it once in the morning and once at night after washing your face. Spread it evenly and your facial skin won’t dry out for the whole day," Qingyue advised.

"Young Lady, this is really a wonderful thing!" Yinzhu held the bottle as if it was a treasure, her eyes shining, "Did you invent this to sell it?"

"Of course." Speaking of inventions, Qingyue felt a bit embarrassed. After all, she didn’t know who had invented it. It was just that it was absent in this era, so she made it according to the formula.

"Certainly, a lot of people will scramble for it," Yinzhu said, envisioning taels flying towards them. Although all the earnings would be her young lady’s, she felt very happy.

Su Qingyue instructed her people to purchase ingredients in large quantities and bought five shops in a flourishing district in the capital city. The shops were beginning to be renovated according to her design.

Two days later, the servant she had sent to keep watch at the Jia Mansion reported that Jia Baoyu had returned.

Disguised as a man again, Su Qingyue, accompanied by Yinzhu dressed up as a young servant, brought a congratulatory gift and arrived at the gate of the Jia Mansion.

Upon seeing the master and servant pair, who were clad in rich and noble garments, the gatekeeper of the Jia Mansion did not dare to neglect them, "May I ask what business this young master has?"
