Chapter 193 Yun Zhiqian's Filial Piety

Nangong Wenrui and Wen Yuxia moved into the Princess's residence together, at Xia Yichen's request. Xia Yichen said that Wen Yuxia was a princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, of noble status, and that in the capital, Nangong Wenrui should always defer to Wen Yuxia.

Whether he stayed at his own house or Wen Yuxia's house, Nangong Wenrui didn't care. Anyway, every night the two of them would enter the small world to restore its vitality and expand the space, working tirelessly.

As time passed, the mines in the Nangong family's small world recovered, and Wen Yuxia's space also increased by a third. The couple worked hard in their small world at night, busy with their business during the day.

During this period, black markets appeared in different cities, and Wen Yuxia and Nangong Wenrui also appeared in different cities.

Yun Zhiqian and Nangong Wenrui were very busy during the black market's opening period, so Wen Yuxia didn't want to bother him. Instead, she took Bei San and Bei Si to stroll around the black market every day.

"Master, the black market is the Prince Consort's territory; no one dares to offend you. Please let me return to my spatial cultivation space!" Bei Sanjiao said in a sweet voice.

The space could no longer help them increase their cultivation speed, but having grown accustomed to cultivating there, they would still beg Wen Yuxia to send them there whenever they had free time.

The four sisters, Nan Yi, Nan Er, and Bei Yi, accompanied Wen Yuxia this time. Today, Bei San and Bei Si are accompanying Wen Yuxia outside, while the others are currently diligently practicing in their spatial dimension.

They spent several months in the black market, exploring every stall. During this time, Nangong Wenrui taught them a set of boxing techniques. Bei San didn't want to waste time wandering around and wanted to go back to his space to practice his boxing.

“Okay, I’ll take you in,” Wen Yuxia walked to a dark corner, sent Bei San back to the space, and turned to ask Bei Si if he wanted to go in. Bei Si smiled and shook his head.

That evening, Nangong Wenrui brought Yun Zhiqian home. As soon as they entered, Yun Zhiqian was drawn by a delicious aroma. Following the scent, he arrived at the kitchen.

Seeing Wen Yuxia giving orders and Bei Yi and the others being directed around by her, Yun Zhiqian pointed to the neatly arranged wooden boxes in the kitchen and asked, "Sister-in-law, what is this?"

The large wooden box was divided into several small sections, each containing a pale red object; the fragrance emanated from these objects.

Wen Yuxia replied, "This is scented soap; I figured it out myself."

"Fragrant soap is soap, right?" Yun Zhiqian retorted.

Soap is better than soapberry; families with a bit more money will buy one. It can be used for washing hair, bathing, and washing clothes.

"Yes, soap is yellow and odorless, while scented soap, as the name suggests, is soap with a fragrance. Using scented soap to wash your hair and hands will leave them smelling nice."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhiqian's eyes lit up, and he smiled at Wen Yuxia: "Sister-in-law, are you interested in cooperating? I'll provide the money to build the workshop, I'll be responsible for sales, and you'll provide the technology. We'll split the net profits 50/50."

Wen Yuxia asked, "Where do you plan to build the workshop? If someone tries to take advantage of your scented soap, can you handle it?"

Yun Zhiqian said smugly, "Of course the workshop should be built in Yunxiao Kingdom. Sister-in-law, I'm not bragging, but apart from the emperor and the crown prince, I'm not afraid of anyone else, not even a prince."

"That's incredible!" Wen Yuxia was somewhat incredulous. She turned to look at Nangong Wenrui, who explained with a smile that Yun Zhiqian's father was Prince Li, the younger brother of the Emperor of Yunxiao Kingdom. Prince Li and his wife had been guarding the border for many years.

Five years ago, Prince Li was wounded in battle while trying to rescue the Crown Prince, who had been captured by enemy forces. After recovering, he was left with a limp. Feeling guilty, the Emperor ordered Prince Li and his wife to return to the capital to enjoy their retirement.

Later, the emperor was attacked by two tigers at the royal hunting grounds. Prince Li was killed by the tigers while trying to save the emperor. From then on, the emperor treated his nephew Yun Zhiqian very well, treating him the same as the crown prince. Indeed, no one in Yunxiao Kingdom dared to offend Yun Zhiqian.

Wen Yuxia felt like she'd been struck by lightning. The Nangong family's businesses spanned various countries, Xia Yichen was the successor chosen by the Emperor of Great Xia, and this Yun Zhiqian in front of her was also someone of considerable importance.

"Heh, why not take advantage of a rich, powerful, and handsome guy?" Wen Yuxia said with a faint smile. "Talk to my husband about the scented soap business and see if he's willing to hand it over to you."

After Wen Yuxia finished stating her requirements, she asked Nangong Wenrui to take Yun Zhiqian to the library to discuss the matter. As they walked, Yun Zhiqian pondered the situation in his mind.

Xia Yichen and Wen Yuxia each took one share, and he and Nangong Wenrui would split the remaining 80% equally, which would also earn them a considerable amount of money. "Wenrui, how much money should we pay for each share we take? What do you think?" Yun Zhiqian tentatively asked.

"Not good at all. The formula was provided by my wife, so I should at least get 10% of the technology shares. The remaining 70% will be purchased with money, with the highest bidder winning," Nangong Wenrui said coldly.

Yun Zhiqian frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then nodded, saying, "A 10% share of the technology is reasonable, but the highest bidder wins, which might not be appropriate. The Nangong family is wealthy and powerful, and I dare not compete with you. We are brothers, so why not just distribute it directly? The technology shares will account for 30%, and the investment shares will account for 70%..."

Thirty percent of the technology shares were allocated to Xia Yichen, Wen Yuxia, and Nangong Wenrui; of the seventy percent of the capital shares, Xia Yichen held 30% and Yun Zhiqian held 40%.

Nangong Wenrui nodded slightly and said, "Deal."

At this moment, Wen Yuxia walked over with a box of cordyceps. Everyone looked puzzled. Wen Yuxia handed the cordyceps to Yun Zhiqian and said, "Cordyceps should be able to cure your mother's heartache. Take it back and try it out."

After Yun Zhiqian's father died, his mother fell ill with grief. She developed a strange heart ailment, incurable by any medicine, which could only be managed by consuming cordyceps or by the patient regulating their emotions.

Yun Zhiqian had also asked Nangong Wenrui to help him find cordyceps. Over the years, Nangong Wenrui had found more than a dozen cordyceps for him, but unfortunately, the quantity was too small to control his illness.

Nangong Wenrui, standing to the side, secretly admired Wen Yuxia's kindness, while Yun Zhiqian curiously examined the box of cordyceps, wondering how many cordyceps were inside.

Wen Yuxia seemed to see through Yun Zhiqian's thoughts. She smiled faintly and said, "One hundred cordyceps are enough for your mother to consume for more than three months."

Wen Yuxia still has several boxes of cordyceps in her space. She bought them for her grandparents in her previous life. After Yun Zhiqian's mother finishes one box, she can give Yun Zhiqian another box.

Nangong Wenrui looked at Wen Yuxia with tender eyes and smiled, "Zhiqian, please accept it. If it can truly cure your aunt's heart ailment, it will be a meritorious deed."

Yun Zhiqian thanked Wen Yuxia, carefully put away the cordyceps, and then hurriedly left. He needed to wait at the entrance of the black market for it to open so he could go home and get treatment for his mother.

Nangong Wenrui and Wen Yuxia, who remained standing there, watched his departing figure in silence for a long time. Finally, Wen Yuxia sighed and said, "Yun Zhiqian is actually a filial son."

Just as Nangong Wenrui was about to walk forward, he heard Wen Yuxia's sigh. He stumbled and almost fell to the ground. After regaining his balance, Nangong Wenrui...

Looking helplessly at Wen Yuxia, he said, "Madam, where did you get the idea that Yun Zhiqian is filial to his mother?"

Wen Yuxia stuck out her tongue, pulled Nangong Wenrui's hand and walked into the house, waving the silver notes she was holding as she walked, and said with a smile, "You can tell from the silver notes!"

Yun Zhiqian didn't take the cordyceps for nothing; he gave Wen Yuxia two silver notes with a face value of one thousand taels each. How could a child who could spend so much money to buy medicine for his mother not be filial?

Nangong Wenrui smiled faintly and shook his head: "Madam, you may not know this, but Yun Zhiqian's mother has only one wish, and Yun Zhiqian has always refused to fulfill it for her, which is unfilial."

Yun Zhiqian's mother hopes he will marry and have children, but Yun Zhiqian has not married yet. In Nangong Wenrui's view, this is unfilial, but Wen Yuxia doesn't see it that way. She believes that Yun Zhiqian's unmarried status is a sign of filial piety.

"Yun Zhiqian's marriage is his mother's obsession; she won't leave him unless he gets married..." Wen Yuxia spoke eloquently.

People suffering from heart disease experience both physical and mental anguish. Yun Zhiqian's mother suffered from heart disease, and his father passed away early. If it weren't for her concern about Yun Zhiqian's marriage, his mother would probably have followed his father long ago.

After hearing Wen Yuxia's explanation, Nangong Wenrui finally understood. He said apologetically, "Thank you for clearing up my confusion, Madam."

A month later, Yun Zhiqian, beaming with joy, ran to the capital of Daxia to find Wen Yuxia and told her that the cordyceps was indeed effective and that his mother's heart disease had been greatly relieved. To express his gratitude, Yun Zhiqian brought Wen Yuxia some medicinal seeds.
