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

Su Qianqian put all the large wine jars, each as tall as a person, from the wine cellar into her spatial storage.

Then the entire ice cellar was filled with ice blocks from the space.

The heat in Beijing has been intensifying lately, with people dying from the heat every day. The people of Beijing are getting impatient.

Although she had a lot of ice in her space, it wasn't enough for all the people in the capital, so she had to hurry up and bring down the price of ice.

Moreover, Su Qianqian had someone keep an eye on Murong Yan's movements.

It has been learned that a large quantity of ice produced by Murong Yan is about to be put on the market.

This time, we must defeat Murong Yan so thoroughly that she has no chance to fight back.

The Yuan family's residence in the slums of the southern city.

After dark, Brother Yuan, who had been recommended by Hu Pingfan to work as a waiter at Gu's restaurant, returned home carrying a refreshing soup and a large wooden bucket of ice. This ice was a free perk that Su Dongjia gave to the waiters.

Brother Yuan stood in the courtyard and shouted, but no one answered.

The room was pitch black, without even a light on. Usually at this time, the lights would be on.

Brother Yuan thought to himself that something was wrong and kicked the door open.

He went into the house with a lantern and found his wife and two children lying on the table, their bodies burning hot. There was also half-eaten stir-fried amaranth and cornbread on the table.

This is heatstroke.

Brother Yuan quickly fed the heat-relieving soup he had brought back to his wife and children.

Soon his wife and child woke up.

The mother and her two children saw ice cubes in the bucket and each took one, reluctant to let go.

It's so refreshing.

"Honey, you must have spent a lot of money on ice, right?"

"It didn't cost any money; Mr. Su distributed it to the workers for free."

Brother Yuan's wife cried.

"Master, Master Su has done us an immense favor. You must work hard for Master Su from now on."

Brother Yuan nodded.

"Don't worry, I've got it."

Thanks to Su Dongjia's refreshing soup today, otherwise he, his wife, and children might have been separated by death.

From this day forward, my life belongs to Miss Su.

The next day was another sweltering day.

Early in the morning, Murong Yan invited the Seventh Prince to the outskirts of the city to see her ice cellar.

The ground was so hot it could scorch a person's skin, but the ice cellar was very cool. The Seventh Prince, because he was dressed in thin clothes, even felt a little cold and was shivering.

The ice cellar was filled with ice blocks, stacked neatly in rows, which was quite impressive.

The torches illuminated the ice, making it sparkle and look especially beautiful.

Ice is now extremely expensive, and in Murong Yan's eyes, these ice blocks are like rows of silver ingots.

Today, we'll arrange to exchange all these ice cubes for money.

Murong Yan felt a chill and quickly snuggled up to the Seventh Prince for warmth.

"Brother Yuan, I heard that many people have died from the heat near the capital. Now, even a block of ice the size of a brick can sell for a hundred coins. Based on this price, the ice I have on hand can be sold for more than a million taels of silver."

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince's eyes gleamed with eager anticipation.

Unexpectedly, the saltpeter purchased for over 100,000 taels of silver could be used to make ice worth one million taels of silver.

His daughter Yan'er is so capable.

"Brother Yuan, after all these ice blocks are sold, I will give you 300,000 taels of silver. Moreover, we haven't used up all the saltpeter we have yet, and we can make more ice blocks worth over a million taels of silver later."

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince's smile widened.

That idiot Third Prince is still trying to stop him from making ice. Once he makes money, he can slap the Third Prince in the face.

"Yan'er is so kind."

He was favored by his father from a young age, and his father had always intended to appoint him as the crown prince, but the ministers had been blocking him on the grounds that the eldest son should be chosen over the youngest.

South Vietnam is currently suffering from severe flooding and urgently needs disaster relief funds.

Once he has sold the ice and distributed the profits back to the Southern Yue Kingdom, making a great contribution to the kingdom, no one will stand up to stop his father from appointing him as the crown prince.

Once he takes over the Southern Yue Kingdom, he will definitely send troops to destroy the Great Qi.

Although the Great Qi would provide money and grain whenever the Southern Yue Kingdom faced difficulties, the Seventh Prince was not grateful.

He believed that the Great Qi Kingdom sent gifts to show goodwill because it feared the strength of the Southern Yue Kingdom.

Murong Yan had her capable subordinate Zhang Qi set off a long string of firecrackers to create a festive atmosphere.

A huge sum of money was about to be deposited into the account; it was truly exhilarating.

Murong Yan and the Seventh Prince watched as cartloads of ice were unloaded from the cellar and transported to the capital, and they were overjoyed.

These ice blocks will be snapped up as soon as they enter the capital, and they can be exchanged for cartloads of silver ingots in no time.

"Brother Yuan, I've prepared some fine wine and food at the manor. Let's have a good drink at noon to celebrate. We're just waiting for the good news about the ice selling like hotcakes."

"Good." The Seventh Prince was just as happy as Murong Yan. He was just waiting to distribute the silver and send it back to Nan Yue. Then his position as Crown Prince would be secure.

In the village, chickens and sheep were slaughtered, and a large table of dishes was prepared.

Murong Yan picked up her wine cup and offered a toast to the Seventh Prince.

"Brother Yuan, I will definitely become the richest woman in the future, and Brother Yuan will become the emperor of Nan Yue. If we join forces, we will surely be able to dominate the world. At that time, I will use my wealth to help Brother Yuan seize the lands of Xi Xia and Da Qi."

"Thank you for your kind words, Sister Yan'er. I will surely unify the four kingdoms in the future."

Murong Yan and the Seventh Prince became more and more excited as they drank, imagining a bright future and feeling as if they already had the world in their hands.

"Brother Yuan, if Su Qianqian tries to fight us, she'll definitely suffer a terrible fate."

The Seventh Prince also said, "Don't worry, Sister Yan'er. When the time comes, I will kill her for you. I will cut off her flesh piece by piece, so that she will die without a burial place and regret offending you. I will also kill all her family and friends."

The two were chatting happily when Zhang Qi returned.

As soon as Zhang Qi entered the room, he knelt down beside the dining table with a thud.

"Sixth Miss, Seventh Prince, something terrible has happened! The ice blocks that Su Dongjia of Gu's shop are selling for only ten copper coins each. The ice blocks we transported to the city have only sold for less than one hundred taels of silver in total, and there are still many left unsold."

Murong Yan was so angry that she smashed the small white porcelain wine cup. How infuriating! She thought everything was under control, but unexpectedly, another mishap occurred.

Su Qianqian always contradicts her; she'll get rid of Su Qianqian sooner or later.

Murong Yan quickly calmed down. She couldn't panic; she had to stay calm. She was the true female lead and she definitely wouldn't lose.

Murong Yan also had a cellar in the city. After thinking for a moment, she instructed, "Put all the remaining ice blocks into the cellar in the city first. I believe Su Qianqian doesn't have many ice blocks. After she sells all her ice blocks, we can still sell them for 100 coins a block."

The Seventh Prince was also very confident, after all, apart from the Murong family, all the saltpeter was in his and Murong Yan's hands.

Miss Su doesn't have any saltpeter, so she can't hold out for long.

In this price war, he and Murong Yan are destined to be the victors.
