Yan Dong's cheeks twitched slightly; he truly did not expect that the esteemed Langya Wang Heir would actually request to purchase Compressed Biscuits. Che Chengyun noticed Yan Dong's change in expression and, with his hands clasped behind his back, assumed a mysterious demeanor. "The grievances between Jiang Han and me are personal matters, but the Compressed Biscuits concern the military's logistics—this is a national issue! If it weren't for my father sending me to procure the Compressed Biscuits, I wouldn't have come here at all. To seek out Lin Qingyue's former fiancé for Compressed Biscuits!"
His father said this was a test for him. If he could successfully procure a large quantity of Compressed Biscuits, he would officially become the Wangfu's legitimate Heir! In the vast Langya Wangfu, there were over thirty offspring of the Langya Prince. Che Chengyun was neither the eldest nor the firstborn; he was merely a child born of the legitimate wife taken by the Langya Prince later on. Though he was a legitimate son, there were several others as well, and all legitimate sons could be referred to as Heirs.
According to the laws of the Great Zhou, the legitimate sons of a prince were automatically recognized as having the title of viscount. Until one inherited the throne, they were all called Heirs. Once the Langya Prince determined which legitimate Heir he would pass on his title to, all other Heirs would be assigned to various counties as officials. Becoming a county magistrate with a viscount title meant that one's children would hold baron titles in the county office, and by the time it reached the grandchildren's generation, there would be no titles left.
Thus, in order to secure his identity as a successor to the Wangfu, Che Chengyun had come here with some embarrassment at Xu Yao's suggestion. Accompanying Xu Yao could not help but speak up, "This young lady, our Heir is looking for your Shopkeeper to discuss something important. We have also prepared some exquisite young ladies—all pure and untouched—to present to your Shopkeeper."
After all, they thought that if someone needed warmth at night, it might be difficult for you to always attend to Shopkeeper Jiang! Women also have their monthly conditions, so these exquisite young ladies would surely satisfy Shopkeeper Jiang.
Upon hearing this, Yan Dong displayed an expression of shock and was about to clarify that he and Jiang Han did not share that kind of relationship when—smack! Che Chengyun slapped Xu Yao across the face in anger. "If you have low intelligence, then don’t speak!"
Xu Yao was such an idiot; how could he reveal Yan Dong's secrets right from the start? It was utterly ridiculous. It was already embarrassing enough for him to seek out this former fiancé; now Xu Yao had to mention giving women to Jiang Han right in front of his woman—wasn’t that just asking for trouble? If Yan Dong whispered something sweet into Jiang Han’s ear, wouldn’t he be doomed?
Heir! And your subordinate!
Yan Dong immediately raised his head, anger evident in his brows as he scrutinized both men. "I assure you that there is nothing sordid between me and Shopkeeper Jiang. If you continue like this, when Shopkeeper returns, I will certainly inform him of everything."
Hearing this, Che Chengyun sized up Yan Dong carefully, observing his head shape and cheeks. With his extensive experience in such matters, he realized that Yan Dong was indeed untouched and thus understood that he had misjudged him. Meanwhile, Xu Yao covered his cheek and wore a pitiful expression.
He had an instinctive intuition. After all, many men, if they had a beautiful subordinate like Yan Dong, would have long since taken her to bed. He thought Jiang Han would do the same, but to his surprise, Jiang Han was a man of integrity.
"Since you all want to wait, why not sit outside? General Lin is here too!"
Perfect timing. You two, the fiancée and fiancé, should have a good chat.
Yan Dong emphasized the word "fiancé" particularly, clearly disliking Che Chengyun and Lin Qingyue.
However, the two of them had shamelessly come for the sake of Compressed Biscuit.
Inside, Su Qianxue and Piao Xue Zhu had learned about the situation outside from the Female Guard and couldn’t help but start discussing it.
"Your Majesty, if General Lin really seeks to reconcile with Jiang Han for Compressed Biscuit, what should we do?"
Piao Xue Zhu frowned and muttered, completely unable to believe that the valiant female general Lin Qingyue would actually go find Shopkeeper Jiang. Moreover, Che Chengyun was also there.
If Jiang Han accepts Lin Qingyue, then I must have misjudged him! Su Qianxue spoke arrogantly.
If such a situation arises, Your Majesty, just wait! I will go! Piao Xue Zhu mustered her courage to say this.
A hint of sorrow flashed across Su Qianxue's brow as she looked at Piao Xue Zhu and murmured, "Sister, even if I need supplies and resources, needing Jiang Han's Compressed Biscuit and sword, I will never trade you for it!"
If Jiang Han were truly lecherous, then with so many Female Guards in my harem, he would surely be satisfied!
I will never use you as a bargaining chip to gain cooperation with Jiang Han!
This was sincere; the two sisters relied on each other. No matter what, Su Qianxue could never bring herself to give her sister to Jiang Han in exchange for resources.
After all, from her perspective, Jiang Han certainly didn’t lack wealth and wasn’t interested in power; he must simply like beautiful women.
However, Yan Dong had always been pure and untouched. If Jiang Han didn’t act on it, that would be somewhat troublesome.
"Shopkeeper! You’re back!"
So many people have arrived outside!
The voice of Yan Dong echoed in the air.
Piao Xue Zhu instinctively stood up to see what was happening but was stopped by Su Qianxue’s gaze.
Su Qianxue said indifferently, "Let’s see how Jiang Han deals with Lin Qingyue and Che Chengyun first. If he truly wishes to reconcile with Lin Qingyue, then I absolutely cannot look up to such a man. In future resource transactions, I’d rather give him a few more treasures."
Hearing this, Piao Xue Zhu could only sit back down silently.
The Female Guard beside them understood well; it seemed that Her Majesty had developed some interest in Jiang Han.
Otherwise, one wouldn't speak like this; such words are not fitting for an emperor. Before this, Your Majesty was undoubtedly the Empress, so given these circumstances, it is clear that Your Majesty must have unusual thoughts regarding Jiang Han.
The Female Guards understood everything but chose to remain silent.
Inside the front shop, Jiang Han had returned and, upon seeing Che Chengyun and Lin Qingyue there, couldn't help but smile. "What brings you two here? What a surprise!"
Ah! The words Lin Qingyue had in mind were completely blocked by Jiang Han's remark, leaving her unable to utter a single word.
" Shopkeeper Jiang, it's like this," Che Chengyun said, steeling himself to speak. "Father wishes to procure a batch of military rations and has specifically requested your renowned Compressed Biscuits. They are exceptional military supplies. I'm here to handle the purchasing, and of course, I assure you that I will not shortchange you on the price!"
