After swapping bodies with the princess, this prince slaughtered his way through the court and becam

"You mean, I used to shower by myself?"

"Yes, back then, when Pearl wanted to serve the princess, the princess wouldn't allow it!"

Pearl was a bit slow-witted; she only felt that her princess had changed for a while and then changed back.

No matter how things change, the Fourteenth Princess will always be the princess she respects the most!

Wei Xinyan was stunned and shocked!

"Didn't you serve me when I took a bath the other day?"

"Yes, you said you wanted to wash yourself thoroughly from head to toe, and it was inconvenient for me to take care of you."

At the time, I even thought you were complaining that I wasn't clean enough!

boom!

Wei Xinyan felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him.

This amazing news instantly wiped away all her fatigue from the day!

During these ten days, that shameless playboy Ren Jingxing!

He actually! He actually!

He not only used her body, but also bathed himself!

Does that mean he touched every inch of my body?

In an instant, Wei Xinyan's skin turned bright red.

The waves in the bath occasionally lapped against her body.

She was surprised to feel that it was Ren Jingxing's hand!

It's not just about taking a bath, but also about using the toilet!

She recalled the embarrassing scene of urinating on Ren Jingxing.

what! ! !

Wei Xinyan internally screamed in despair.

He must know everything! He must know everything!

Her shameful secret was eventually discovered by someone other than Pearl!

The thought of Ren Jingxing scrubbing her body alone filled her with shame and indignation.

Bastard, filthy, lecher!

"Princess, what's wrong? Is the water too hot?"

"No...it's nothing..."

Wei Xinyan couldn't help but sink down, only revealing the area above her nostrils.

Zhu'er picked up a soft bath towel and began to scrub Wei Xinyan's body.

Warm water flowed over the skin, and the watermarks quickly contracted, forming winding lines on the snow-white skin.

"Princess, when you get married, you must ask the imperial physician to get some scar-removing ointment."

The princess is so beautiful, yet she has so many scars on her body.

"It's all that damned Granny Li's fault!"

As Wei Xinyan listened to what Zhu'er said, he slowly stood up and looked at the wounds on his body.

The scars that form after the scabs fall off are unusually noticeable on the snow-white skin.

Wei Xinyan suddenly felt a little wronged, and her heart was gradually filled with bitterness.

What woman would want her body covered in such ugly scars?

Especially considering she was a princess, her health was worse than that of a palace maid.

I bet Ren Jingxing was both disgusted and mocking her.

"And Princess, what do we do next? Will that sir keep picking on you during the day?"

Wei Xinyan felt a pang of sorrow and shook her head.

"I don't know, I don't know..."

A tear slowly seeped from the corner of her eye, flowed down her cheek, and finally fell into the water.

At this moment, she missed the warm and welcoming Marquis's mansion terribly.

"Father...Mother...I miss home..."

She knew that the Marquis's wife of the Ren family was Ren Jingxing's parents.

But she greedily wanted to use Ren Jingxing's body to enjoy that real tenderness.

"Nine days left..."

Wei Xinyan hugged herself and murmured softly.

.........

[Five days and seven hours until the soul exchange.]

At the Xuanwei Marquis's residence, Ren Jingxing glanced at the Empress's Development Record before heading to the restaurant.

During those five days, he discovered a problem.

It seems that the Goddess Record only provides physical enhancements during soul swapping.

It seemed like it was of no use when it came back.

However, swapping and then restoring the original state will immediately grant double the benefit.

This can be considered a kind of advance reward.

As the capital city, the most virtuous place in the country, major news happens every day.

For example, the news that a certain vice minister had an affair with another man.

For example, the story of a young master having an affair with his father's concubine was spread.

Or perhaps a prince forcibly demolishes a brothel, only to have his fiancée break off the engagement.

The biggest news in recent days is that someone has opened a shop in Beijing.

Yes, a new salt shop opened in the bustling city center, and that became news.

Because this salt shop may seem ordinary, but it has a lot to offer.

The refined salt sold in this shop is as fine as tribute salt!

Ordinary tribute salt was not for sale; it was reserved for royal use and also for imperial gifts.

However, the newly opened store does not sell tribute salt, so people throughout the capital can buy salt here and enjoy the same treatment as those who sell tribute salt!

The salt at this salt shop wasn't priced too outrageously expensive.

Four cents a pound, which is forty coins a pound.

There was a busybody who squatted in front of the shop and counted them for a whole day.

This salt shop attracted almost everyone in the capital!

Some people estimate that they can sell about 3,000 catties of salt a day!

In other words, this ordinary little shop earns 120 taels of silver a day!

What does it mean to earn 120 taels of silver a day?

Take the exorbitantly profitable Yangzhou "slender horse" trade as an example.

In the Yangzhou area, there is a profession that trains women to become "Yangzhou Slim Horses" (a term used to describe women who are thin and beautiful).

They could buy a little girl for only a dozen or so strings of cash.

After three to five years of careful cultivation, it can be resold for 1,500 taels!

It is known as exorbitant profit, and many high-ranking officials and nobles can only afford to buy one or two such servants in their entire lives.

However, thanks to this salt shop, Ren Jingxing only needed twelve days to earn 1,500 taels!

Even the most famous prostitutes in the capital couldn't earn as much money as Ren Jingxing!

However, some busybodies were curious.

The new salt shop is both understated and flamboyant.

Aren't you afraid of retaliation from Zhang, the maternal relative?

The Zhang family are the leaders of the five largest salt merchants in the capital!

By setting up a salt shop in the bustling city center and competing with the Zhang family for business, what's the difference between this and slapping the Zhang family in the face?

Of course, the daily income of 120 taels is what outsiders perceive.

In reality, Ren Jingxing's income was not that high.

First of all, this money doesn't belong to Ren Jingxing alone; his brothers also have a stake in it.

In addition, the fact that they can sell 3,000 jin a day is also related to arousing the curiosity of the people in the capital.

Many of the people who came to buy salt already had plenty of salt at home; most of them were buying it out of curiosity.

Once the storm passes, the salt shops' income will inevitably plummet.

Ren Jingxing called his brothers to the restaurant and then began to distribute the profits.

"You all gave me five hundred taels back then, and I left the salt mine myself."

Let's split it 40/60, you guys add up to 60, and I'll keep 40%.

Here is three hundred and sixty taels of silver. Divide it according to the amounts you each contributed initially.

When Ren Jingxing pulled out the money, his group of playboy brothers were dumbfounded.

"No, boss, there really is a bonus?"

"Of course, do you think I would lie to you?"

A total of 500 taels were invested that day, and 360 taels were recovered in five days, with continued dividends to follow!

Even loan sharks couldn't make money this fast!

"Boss, this money is legitimate, you're not lying to us, are you?"

At this moment, Chu Huaiyu, dressed in white, took out a fan and slapped the纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled young man) with it.

"The boss already said he wasn't lying, why are you still asking?"

Besides, wasn't the Russian Roulette exciting back then?

"The boss has already told us this secret, how could he possibly betray us?"

"That's true!"

The mention of the Russian roulette wheel brought a renewed look of excitement to the faces of the group of playboys.

Several spoiled young men couldn't help but sigh:

"Hey, it's still more fun to hang out with the boss. We meet once, get paid, and play Russian roulette."

We asked you to hang out the other day, but you wouldn't come. We were all so bored!

"That's right, boss, don't follow that stupid habit. Even if you pass the imperial examination and become an official, you won't earn as much as you do with this salt shop!"

Ren Jingxing shook his head:

"I only have a ten-day break; I'll have to continue studying in a few days."

By the way, don't spend the money I gave you.

You hand over the money you earn to your father!

Ren Jingxing is about to move on to the second step of his plan.

He wants to bind the nobles present to his cause through mutual benefit!
