Chapter 904: Chapter 904: Focus on the Right Path_1 Chapter 904: Chapter 904: Focus on the Right Path_1 “The prince has commanded, and this humble woman shall obey,” Qiao Xiaomai suppressed the urge to punch Yang Wang’s face into minced meat and took several steps forward until she stood before him.
Putting on an act of politeness for whom? He is nothing but a beast with the heart of a viper; even clothed in human skin, it cannot hide his hideousness.
With that thought, she quickened her pace to avoid the beastly aura emanating from Yang Wang.
Yang Wang had many things he wanted to talk about with Qiao Xiaomai. He admired her ability to earn money, much like Yang Wenxiao, with absolute reverence.
You wouldn’t find anyone like her throughout a thousand years of history — such a capable money-maker as Qiao Xiaomai.
If only all that money were his, how wonderful it would be for it to enter his Wang Residence!
He regretted not having started a restaurant like The Ultimate Flavor; such a missed opportunity for countless fortunes!
Feeling this regret, Yang Wang couldn’t help but speak up, “Qiao, young lady, could you talk about how you came up with those brilliant ideas?”
“I’m not sure which ideas the prince is referring to,” Xiaomai replied stiffly.
See, this man still has ulterior motives with her.
Claiming to fancy her, when in fact, he’s after her money-making abilities.
Seeing her purely as a tool for making money, with all his intentions written on his face, yet he still tries to cozy up to her with his feigned grace and charm. Disgusting!
Yang Wang was unaware of Qiao Xiaomai’s internal tirade. He smiled and said, “Naturally, I’m talking about dried sweet potatoes, children’s tricycles, and heated kang beds.”
“Thinking a lot naturally leads to ideas,” she retorted.
“Lady, you jest. If such ideas were so easily thought of, then why have they only appeared now?”
“You should ask the two men by your side,” said Xiaomai, pausing mid-stride and turning her head to glance behind her.
She was looking at Cen Hong and Sun Junyan, who followed Yang Wang.
“One is a county magistrate, and the other, a scholar; surely they think more than a mere woman like me. Unfortunately, what they think about is not the proper way.”
At this point, a mocking smile appeared on Qiao Xiaomai’s face.
“One has been demoted from a great general to a county magistrate, the other, a brute whom even his own father wished he could strangle to death. My lord, I suggest you advise the people by your side to focus their thoughts on the right path rather than waste them on trifles.”
“If they were to direct their thoughts rightly, wealth would naturally flow endlessly into their pockets.”
As Qiao Xiaomai’s words fell, both Cen Hong and Sun Junyan’s faces turned red as if they had both swallowed dead rats, yet they were unable to utter a single rebuttal.
The truth was what Qiao Xiaomai had spoken.
Cen Hong had indeed fallen from the rank of a high-general to a county magistrate.
And Qiao Qinghe did indeed desire to strangle Sun Junyan to death.
The two of them together were not doing as well as Xiaomai, a simple village girl, who could make silver and also gain favor in the eyes of the Retired Emperor.
They had no reply to Qiao Xiaomai’s wave of sarcasm.
Yang Wang turned to glance at Cen Hong and Sun Junyan and then, as if he had heard nothing, continued with an affable smile, “Young Lady, you must be jesting.”
“It’s not just them; even a distinguished scholar is no match for you. You are indeed a female God of Wealth that comes once in a millennium.”
Upon hearing this, Xiaomai also showed a genuinely fake smile, “At least my husband is getting better and better, and both the tricycle and the heated kang were his inventions.”
