Chapter 152: If there's even the slightest leak, I'll divorce you.
Pei Zuo maintained his aloof expression, but the crescent moon at the corner of his mouth made it clear at a glance that he was happy.
He reached into his robes and took out a small goldfish worth ten taels of gold.
"Not at all. I may not have much else, but I do have quite a few of these goldfish. If my wife likes them, they will all be yours in the future."
“!!!!!”
Are all rich people this arrogant?
However, I do like it, but I prefer what I earn with my own hands rather than what is given away.
People need to have backbone. Although backbone can't put food on the table, if you lose it, you can only eat other people's excrement.
Fang Xiaoxiao has understood this principle since she was a child and has always tried to follow it.
I remember watching TV before, and there was this relationship coach named Tu Lei. He was incredibly arrogant and domineering on TV, constantly belittling women and saying all sorts of bad things about them.
Later, with the advent of the internet age, this guy started praising women, especially saying that women should be cherished and men should always give in to them, and that childbirth is too painful for women, so they could choose not to have children.
Honestly, this kind of person is just brain-dead. In order to get attention and traffic, they don't even care about the most basic morality.
A grown man who has no backbone and only knows how to flatter and please others, even if he seems successful now, will definitely suffer the consequences once problems arise.
Sure enough, later on, this guy's career collapsed, and he was cursed by both men and women. While he was in the hospital receiving treatment and no one was taking care of him, netizens left comments that were all sarcastic and mocking.
One netizen's comment in particular left a deep impression.
He wrote: A man who loves his wife should save his medical expenses for her, instead of spending money in the hospital. A man who truly loves you will cook and do laundry for you even when he's sick in bed, instead of lying there pretending to be dead.
The caption was accompanied by a photo of Tu Lei being hospitalized.
It's really laughable and ironic when you think about it.
Think about this.
Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This left Pei Zuo completely stunned, and for a fleeting moment, he even wondered if he had said something wrong.
With some doubt, he spoke.
"Is it because I said something wrong just now that my wife laughed at me?"
"what!"
Fang Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze, first taking the little goldfish from the other person's hand, and then replying.
"No, I just thought what you just said was really good. If I didn't already have seven husbands, I would definitely marry you!"
These words startled the audience, who looked on in astonishment.
They seemed to have heard some terrible news, and some even started muttering to themselves.
"Has Madam Fang gone mad? How dare she say such a thing, talking about marrying a prince?"
"I think it's probably because he thinks he's going to beat the Confucian Sage, so he's become too arrogant and has started to disregard the First Prince."
"Nonsense, Madam Fang was just stating the truth. With Madam Fang's talent, what's wrong with marrying the First Prince?"
You have to understand, the Crown Prince's teacher was a Confucian sage! Even the Confucian sage lost to her, so there's nothing wrong with what she said!
For a time, they were divided into two factions.
One group felt that Fang Xiaoxiao was too arrogant, daring to even tease the eldest prince.
The other side felt that what she said made sense, because the Crown Prince's teacher had already won, let alone just marrying the other party.
The audience instantly descended into chaos. If everyone present hadn't been prominent figures, the verbal sparring would likely have escalated into a physical fight.
Fang Xiaoxiao on the stage heard everything clearly and saw everything perfectly.
However, she couldn't care less about these incompetent superiors. Anyway, she got ten taels of gold today, and another five hundred taels tonight.
In just two days, he easily obtained more than 500 taels of gold. Anyone would be laughing like a pig if they had that opportunity.
She is already showing remarkable self-control.
……
After bidding farewell to the Crown Prince and the others, he returned to his own private residence, Lanya Room.
This was a room that Zhu Wen had specially prepared for her. The room was far from where the eldest prince and the Confucian sage lived, so even if they made a huge fuss inside, the other party wouldn't hear a thing.
Zhu Wen was undoubtedly a shrewd and successful businessman.
He made this arrangement because he knew that Madam Fang had some things she didn't want those people to hear.
To prevent eavesdropping, several maids were even arranged to serve Fang Xiaoxiao.
The benefit of doing this is, of course, to confuse the public and effectively prevent conversations from being overheard.
Fang Xiaoxiao sat at the round table, savoring the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup prepared by Manager Zhu.
This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish uses all the most precious ingredients and medicinal herbs, including thousand-year-old ginseng, sea cucumber, abalone, and so on.
It's no exaggeration to describe it as a soup that is perfect in color, aroma, and taste, and a complete tonic.
The food is good, but you shouldn't eat too much of it.
She was aware of that.
I ate a few bites and put down my chopsticks when I felt full.
Of course, we can't waste all this delicious food.
She glanced at Li Renyi, who had already put down his chopsticks, and said with a smile.
"Renyi, when you go out later, remember to pack up this good stuff and bring it back so that Jinyan and the others can have a taste."
"No problem, my wife, I will certainly not fail in my mission."
"Okay, that's good. Now, shouldn't you settle the accounts?"
"Accounts? What accounts? Where did these accounts come from!"
Li Renyi pretended not to understand and even looked around.
Seeing his reaction, Fang Xiaoxiao immediately changed her tone, her words now laced with anger.
"Still pretending, huh? You really think I don't know anything on stage?"
"You colluded with Boss Zhu and the richest man Wang to run an illegal gambling operation, using my reputation as a stake. Tell me, what kind of account is this!"
"!!!"
When his wife asked him that question, Li Renyi almost vomited up all the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup he had just eaten.
He quickly rubbed his neck to push the food back into his stomach before replying.
"My dear wife, what are you saying? We're all family, and besides, isn't this all to generate some extra income for our shop?"
"You want to generate extra revenue for the store? I think you're getting cocky and want to fly solo!"
"No, no, no, how could that be? I eat well, live well, and dress well here with you, my wife. How could I be such an ungrateful person?"
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me how much you made today. Tell me the truth, or I'll divorce you and make you sleep on the streets."
Fang Xiaoxiao pretended to be very angry, and slammed her hand on the table, making a dull "bang".
This gave Li Renyi a huge fright.
He thought his wife would be unaware of the things he had done.
Little did they know, everything was within her sight.
There's no other way; I have to say it whether I want to or not.
