Liu Yuan didn't know that Su Zhi had come to visit and was extremely surprised to see a girl he had not seen for more than a month.

"Lady Su is here, a rare guest."

Su Zhi stood up to pay her respects. "Sir Liu, good morning."

"There's no need to stand on ceremony. Please take a seat."

Su Zhi felt that Liu Yu-an must be a good official who did not put on any airs. He had a special charm about him that made people feel as if they were bathed in spring breeze.

"I heard that Mistress Su saved a hundred-year-old store in Xuan City. I didn't know that you had such an ability in business."

"Originally, it wasn't anything extraordinary. I was merely taking advantage of the situation and listened to the will of the heavens."

Liu Yu An laughed softly, "What a great line of words. We'll just listen to fate. How did Mistress Su think of using this method to bring business back to life?"

How could she have imagined that a department store would operate in such a way? She had only read a few management books and understood how to put theory into practice.

Besides, business was booming, and it had something to do with the system.

There were many things that could not be bought outside of the market. The limited production standards of this era was all thanks to the omnipotent treasure system.

"Sir, do you want some business knowledge?"

Liu Yu'an was amused by her, "The Great Wei has always carried out the policy of giving prizes to the farmers and suppressing merchants. Although I pitied the bitterness of the meal on my plate, I also understood one thing. "The country is prosperous and cannot be separated from commercial, agricultural and military industries. As fellow citizens of the Great Wei, there are no good or bad jobs in the country."

Su Zhi once again had a whole new level of respect for him. He was definitely a good official that was hard to come by, but he could actually think so far ahead. This was truly rare.

"Thank you sire for your understanding. People only know that merchants are sharp and cunning. They all hide far away, not wanting sire to be completely different from those people."

In ancient times, it took courage to do business. Most rulers didn't like business. Many regulations were issued to restrict business. Not only that, but the status of a merchant was very low. Even though he had the strength of a wealthy family, he did not have many people envious of him.

To be impartial was not something that an ordinary person could do.

"Oh, and I also heard that you got into the limelight yesterday and viciously beat up the young master who came to cause trouble for you."

Su Zhi looked at his meaningful smile, confused.

Aunty Liu told him about how she had beaten up the local ruffian and hooligan yesterday, adding fuel to the fire. It only made Su Zhi not know whether to laugh or cry.

"You still don't know. This matter has been spread all over the streets of Beijing. "One of the young masters who originally went to cause trouble for you was the nephew of the vice minister. When he heard of this, he scolded his nephew harshly."

Su Zhi, on the other hand, couldn't be happy. She didn't spend any effort to figure out the identities of those people; she only thought they were here to cause trouble. Now that she heard of it, she was shocked speechless.

From the direction that those people frequently looked in, Su Zhi could roughly guess who had nothing better to do. It was just that she did not expect Yu Zhanhong's influence to be spread throughout the government.

"Lady Su, there's no need to be afraid. That Vice Minister Yang of the Department of Public Affairs is a clean and honest official who went out. When he learned that his nephew went to make things difficult for a woman, he was already punished with imprisonment for contemplation."

Even so, Su Zhi could not help but feel nervous.

Xuan City was close to the capital, so he had to be careful in the future.

What if that Vice Minister Yang was being fussy and sent someone to scheme against her? She wouldn't be able to open the door even if she made a random arrangement.

"I'm rather interested in Lady Su's sophistry. I really didn't expect you to be so intelligent. To be able to return the favor with your own body is truly amazing."

Su Zhi smiled bitterly. She really did know a lot of debates like this. In the past, what she loved to do most was just become a debate group and engage in verbal sparring.

"Actually, the reason is very simple. They just need to change their way of thinking to think about the problem. When most people encounter this problem, their first reaction would be for the other party to mess around and forget about learning the underhanded techniques. "Think about it carefully, there are no problems in this world that cannot be overcome."

Apart from some boring things like chickens or eggs, if you want to meet those buddies of yours from university, you can just bullsh * t them for a day.

Liu Yuan thoughtfully nodded his head. This was the essence of the matter. The problem had only been magnified.

"Lady Su is indeed very smart. Right now, I feel that leaving that small mountain village is the right choice."

That place didn't belong to her. She should have a wider world.

"Thank you, my lord, for your praise."

After the servants passed down the dishes, the three gathered together for a meal.

Su Zhi was truly excited. Liu Yuan was the future Prime Minister, and a perfect candidate for that. Who knew, perhaps he would be recorded in a history book and be passed down throughout the ages.

Halfway through their meal, an old lady came to the courtyard to pass on a message that the madame was asking Liu Yu An to return.

Only then did Su Zhi realize that it wouldn't be a problem for Lord Liu to eat with his aunt, at most, a few words from his mother. But she was an outsider, and it was not polite to do so.

Liu Yu felt that it didn't matter. He didn't care about the truth. Eldest Aunt Liu was afraid that her sister-in-law would interrogate him, so she hurriedly urged him to leave.

Su Zhi stood up, took out a few silver ingots, and handed them over to him. "I am indebted to sire for your help. My gratitude is indescribable."

Liu Yu An shook his head and laughed: "Didn't I say that we don't need to pay back the money?"

Su Zhi was adamant that they should pay. No one's silver had come from a rich family. Although it wasn't much, she wasn't used to coveting for people to take advantage of her.

Since he couldn't force her, Liu Yuan had his servants accept the silver, bid them farewell, and left.

Not long after they had finished eating, Su Zhi saw that it was getting late and needed some time to make a trip back. She did not linger to bid farewell to Auntie Liu.

Auntie Liu had been alone for a long time, so she was reluctant to part with him. "Little Su, although our ages are quite different, we can still chat together. In the future, you have to come visit more."

"Sigh, in the future when I have more free time, I will come and see you."

Only after making a promise did Lady Liu reluctantly send her away.

Just as Su Zhi took two steps forward, two little kids appeared out of nowhere. The two of them went forward and hugged her, unable to move.

"Aiyo, my two little ancestors, where did this come from? Where did this old lady go?"

Auntie Liu and the maidservants hurried forward to pull the two children away. Su Zhi asked in doubt, "Who are these two children?"

"Little Su, don't blame me. They are the two children of my nephew."

Su Zhi squatted down and looked at the two little fellows. She was intrigued to discover that the two chubby kids looked ninety percent alike.

The two babies were raised well, they were fair, cute and innocent, and innocent. They were about the same size as a bean bun.

"Speaking of which, my daughter-in-law gave birth to these two twins. She was unable to save them, so unfortunately, she left."

So it was Liu Yuan's two youngest sons. They were so pitiful, having lost their mother the moment they were born.

Su Zhi smiled amiably at the two children, fished out a pack of candy from her bosom and handed it over.

One of the children, not wanting to admit his death, stepped forward and smiled back. Then, he stretched out his hand and took the candy.

The two little fellows snuggled up to each other. They really enjoyed the fruit candy in their hands.

At this time, the young wet nurse who had been looking for them finally cried and took the two children away. She only recited the words' heart and liver ', but it was enough to scare people to death.

After leaving the Liu Estate, Su Zhi slowed down her pace. She was not in a hurry to find a carriage, instead, she thought about the General's Estate.

Last time, when he went to beg someone that was blocked by that domineering princess, what if he was stopped this time?

Besides, Xiao Qian wasn't necessarily happy with her. After all, he had offended her.

Su Zhi hesitated before finally making up her mind. She had to go! In any case, he had to get things straight.

Arriving at the general's manor once again, the guards outside had already changed. Seeing her expression, the guards stopped her.

"Who is the Madam looking for?"

Su Zhi paused, then replied, "I'm looking for your general."

The guards looked at each other, "Does Madame have an invitation?"

She shook her head, ready to leave through the back door.
