The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Murong Yan was particularly upset because her face was injured by poisonous bees and the head of the Murong family, Murong Fu, cut off her opportunity to interfere in the Murong family's business.

She originally thought she had a chance to compete for the future head of the family, but because she suffered two major setbacks at the hands of Su Qianqian, she was disliked by her father, who was the head of the family.

Murong Yan looked at her bruised and swollen face in the mirror and trembled with anger.

As a time-traveling woman, she had always lived a smooth and successful life, and she couldn't believe that she would be so mistreated one day.

I wonder if her beauty will be affected after the swelling goes down.

If her face is disfigured, she might not be able to marry the Seventh Prince.

Murong Yan secretly vowed to defeat Su Qianqian, avenge her disfigurement, and prove her abilities to her father.

"Miss, the Seventh Prince has sent Sister Chunxiang over."

"Quickly, invite them in."

Chunxiang was the Seventh Prince's maid. After entering the room, she placed the small jade bottle in front of Murong Yan.

"Miss Murong, this is a scar-removing ointment sent by my master. It's used in the Southern Yue court. After using it, your face will definitely be restored to its original state."

"Seventh Prince, you are very kind. Please thank the Seventh Prince for me."

After the Seventh Prince's maid left, Murong Yan pulled out the stopper of the small jade bottle and applied the green ointment inside to her face.

Two days later, the swelling on her face had subsided considerably, leaving only some faint bluish-purple marks.

Murong Yan covered the bruises with makeup, feeling that she could finally be seen in public.

She went to the Sifang Pavilion in person, and as soon as she saw the Seventh Prince, she threw herself into his arms and cried.

"Brother Yuan—Waaaaaah!"

The Seventh Prince, Huangfu Yuan, was heartbroken. "Sister Yan'er, I know you've been wronged. Don't worry, I will definitely teach that girl surnamed Su a lesson for you."

Murong Yan felt much better after hearing this.

Her father no longer likes her; the Seventh Prince is now her greatest support.

"Brother Yuan, our Murong family's ice-making business is currently the most profitable, but my father doesn't allow me to get involved in the family business anymore, so I want to start this business myself."

Over the years, Murong Yan has used her advantages as a time traveler to amass a considerable amount of money, totaling more than 200,000 taels of silver.

She plans to use all the money in her savings to start an ice-making business.

"Brother Yuan, I want to send someone to the territory of the King of Huainan to purchase saltpeter. Can you help me?"

Daqi did not have large saltpeter mines, and the saltpeter produced each year was basically in the hands of local medical clinics.

The King of Huainan had always wanted to join forces with Nanyue to deal with Daqi, so he asked the Seventh Prince of Nanyue's men to help him purchase saltpeter in the King of Huainan's territory, which was risk-free.

The Seventh Prince refused the silver notes offered by Murong Yan, saying, "Alright, Sister Yan'er, I'll cover the cost; you don't need to contribute any money."

This was exactly what Murong Yan wanted; she never intended to spend any money, she was just being polite.

After achieving her goal, Murong Yan left the Sifang Pavilion and went to the outskirts of the capital.

She spent nearly 200,000 taels of silver to buy ten estates in the suburbs of Beijing.

Because I bought it in a hurry, the price wasn't cheap.

Murong Yan also bought more than 300 young men from brokers to work on the estate, digging cellars to store ice.

In addition, she plans to start producing nitrate from sewage, in preparation for next year, because it takes more than a year to produce nitrate from sewage.

Making saltpeter myself is cheaper, so I can make money from saltpeter ice next year.

Seven days later, the men sent by Huangfu Yuan returned and bought back all the saltpeter within the territory of the King of Huainan.

But now the price of saltpeter is too high, costing more than 100,000 taels of silver, which used up all the money in the Seventh Prince's hands.

This includes what was brought from Nanyue, what was given by the Emperor of Daqi, and 40,000 taels borrowed from the Third Prince.

When the Third Prince heard that Huangfu Yuan had used all the money he had borrowed from him to buy saltpeter, he immediately went to Huangfu Yuan's room.

The living quarters arranged for the two princes of Nanyue in Sifangguan were very large, including bedrooms, studies, and reception rooms.

After the Third Prince sat down on the chair made of huanghuali wood, considering that Huangfu Yuan was his father's most beloved son, he tried his best to adjust his emotions and spoke in the most tactful tone.

"Seventh brother, you're acting a little too impulsively out of loyalty."

The Seventh Prince, however, was full of confidence. "Third Brother, don't worry. The price of ice here is very high. Not only will we not lose money, but we will make a fortune."

The Third Prince did not share the same thoughts as the Seventh Prince.

Although the weather is unusually hot and ice is selling for exorbitant prices, he always finds Gu Ji's lobby filled with ice basins whenever he goes there, showing no stinginess with ice.

Therefore, he felt that Miss Su was not someone who lacked ice at all.

It's highly likely that Miss Su has a lot of ice in stock. If Miss Su were to sell her stockpiled ice, could the price of ice continue to remain high?

Especially last time, when Seventh Brother snatched the prescription, he was clearly tricked by Miss Su, who had arranged for Seventh Brother to offend the Empress of Western Xia.

This pushed the relationship between Nanyue and Western Xia to the brink of tension.

"Seventh Brother, Miss Su is not someone to be trifled with."

"Third Brother, don't take that girl too seriously. She's just boosting their morale and diminishing our own."

The Third Prince was speechless at the Seventh Prince's behavior. The Seventh Prince had been spoiled by his father and had developed an arrogant personality.

"Seventh brother, when the Prince of Huainan raised his banner in rebellion, it was thanks to Miss Su that the Great Qi was able to withstand the Prince of Huainan's offensive. Moreover, Miss Su won a great victory in the Battle of Sicheng, and in one fell swoop, she reclaimed ten cities for the Great Qi. You'd better not provoke her."

"Third Brother, it is precisely because she has some ability that I must defeat her. Once I kill her this time, the Great Qi will lose a useful talent, and then our Southern Yue can join forces with the King of Huainan to destroy the Great Qi."

Seeing the inexplicable confidence on the Seventh Prince's face, the Third Prince felt that there was no point in saying anything now.

Since Seventh Brother won't learn his lesson until he hits a brick wall, we'll have to make him suffer a great loss before he'll remember.

Su Qianqian bought a tavern.

What she liked most about this tavern was that it not only occupied a large area, but also had a very large wine cellar in the backyard.

Su Qianqian stopped Mo Xiaobei from entering the cellar with a torch to investigate.

The smell of alcohol inside was too strong. Alcohol is volatile and easily ignited, so if you went in with a torch, it might start a fire.

Su Qianqian took out a luminous pearl. "I brought this with me."

Over the years, Gong Yu has given her more than ten luminous pearls of various sizes.

Before transmigrating, I was just an ordinary cow or horse, and had never even seen what a luminous pearl looked like.

But now, it's no longer rare at all.

The luminous pearl, the size of a duck egg, emitted a blue light, illuminating the wine cellar brightly.

The wine cellar contained nothing but large wine jars.

Su Qianqian said to Mo Xiaobei and Xiangming, "You two go wait outside."

Mo Xiaobei wasn't planning to leave: "The young master ordered us to protect you."

Xiangming was well aware of the girl's unusual abilities; even if the young master himself were here, he would obediently go out and wait.

She quickly dragged the mentally challenged Mo Xiaobei out of the cellar.

After Mo Xiaobei came out of the cellar, she looked at the wrist that Xiangming was holding and her face turned as red as a monkey's bottom.
