(Why it just had to be you?)

(If only both of our families had never)

(held grudges against each other.)

(My brother, I got it now.)

(People just cannot do everything)

(as they wish.)

Ling Qiye.

[The Blessed Bride] [Episode 7]

(Yue Liuying.)

(If you are true to me,)

(why did you collude with Zhou Han and betray me?)

(Do you still hold hatred)

(toward the Ling family?)

What a shame.

One can never tell

when misfortune will come.

Madam Ying was caught red-handed by us.

Don't tell me you'll let her off.

I knew it.

Is it because you can't bear to hurt her?

I didn't expect

that you'd fall for someone's beauty as well.

Why don't you just do as she wishes?

Let her get her way.

Just take this manor

as a betrothal gift

and give it to Zhou Han.

Don't try to provoke me.

I just want to see

what tricks she has up her sleeve.

She might go to the study for me.

I'll get going now.

The stubborn guy is falling in love.

Ling Qiye.

I already know everything.

Thank you for detoxifying me before.

Were it not for you,

I would have been doomed

the first day I got to the manor.

Leave the book for now.

I should repay your kindness.

I'm here to show my gratitude.

What do you want?

L-Ling Qiye.

How are you going to repay me?

Don't misunderstand it.

I just meant to...

You came here so late at night.

How can I not misunderstand it?

Actually...

I want to repay you

by

earning money for you.

Since young,

I had been surrounded by business matters.

Unfortunately, I'm a woman,

and I have no opportunity to show my ability.

But Young Master Ling, if you

offer me an opportunity,

I'd like

to learn

from those good examples,

and be your

private consultant.

What do you think?

A private consultant?

Madam Ying, are you really so considerable

to plan all these for me?

Sure.

So

if

my ideas are profitable,

then

I'll only take

5% of the profit,

alright?

(She really underestimates me.)

(Don't think I will fall for it.)

How about the deal?

Alright.

Since this is the case,

there are some body-strengthening herbal medicines in Duobao Pavilion.

If you can sell all of them

and reach a twenty percent profit margin,

it is considered a pass.

Deal.

(Those medicines have been held in stock for ten years.)

(I'll see how you are going to make a profit.)

(Ling Qiye.)

(This time, I'll let you know)

(what a business genius is like.)

[Everything goes with the plan. Han, please wait for the good news. Yue'er.]

A letter from Liuying

says that she has engaged in Ling Qiye's business.

In this case,

we need to act accordingly now.

Send my order,

no matter what she wants to do or sell,

just cooperate with her.

Once there are enough customers,

the crowd will follow.

But Master, with the few of us,

it's far from enough.

Idiot.

Can't you buy them repeatedly?

Roger that.

Have a look!

-(Sugar-coated haws!) -(Check out the umbrella.)

(Remember, no matter how many people sent by the Zhou family come,)

(each purchaser)

(can only buy one portion of the medicine.)

(In this case,)

(no matter how capable she is,)

(she won't manage to reach the twenty percent profit margin.)

Excuse me, let me pass.

[Closed for business today]

(Closed for business today?)

(I only heard about "open for business".)

(What is "closed for business"?)

Checkmate.

Your Horse is gone.

[How many hot guys are there in the world] But there's no reason to attack.

Oh, you removed my Horse with my Cannon.

Young Master.

Yesterday, I went to Duobao Pavilion

in your order.

I found

that Duobao Pavilion was closed for business.

Closed for business?

What were they trying to do?

So Liu is closed for business.

Yue Liuying.

Yue Liuying is closed for business.

So in short, Liu is closed for business.

When I went there today,

the placard changed again.

It's written on it that "Probably open for business tomorrow".

[Probably open for business tomorrow]

Probably open for business tomorrow?

It was closed yesterday and they told us that it would open today.

But why is the plan changed today?

Who knows?

Will Duobao Pavilion be shut down?

What is going on here?

Now all the people in the city are gossiping

that there might be something wrong

in the industries of Xuling Manor.

Young Master,

what should we do next?

Keep investigating it and report to me.

Report.

Young Master.

Madam Ying is really good at selling medicines.

Now there's a huge crowd

in Duobao Pavilion.

What's with the rush? Drink some water first.

Madam Ying hired

the lion and dragon dance crew,

and gathered all the people

at the gate of the pharmacy.

She shouted with a trumpet

that the owner of the pharmacy became a devastated cuckold

and didn't want the medicines anymore.

And that all the medicines would be sold

with one qian of silver. (*Monetary unit)

One qian of silver?

Most of those medicines are only worth a single copper.

How can she sell it at such a price?

That's the clever part of her.

Madam Ying decided to sell all the medicines

in the form of lucky grab bags.

The key is "lucky".

Not only are there unsalable medicines in them,

but there are also expensive medicines such as Lucid Ganoderma and antlers.

There was someone who happened to get expensive medicines,

now everyone's trying to get their hands on a lucky grab bag.

Even I

couldn't resist it.

Slices of a tiger penis?

This is the big deal.

(She actually managed to sell them in this way.)

(It's quite intelligent of her.)

She is kind of smart.

Put it back.

Madam Ying.

Alright.

Allow me to say a few words now.

First,

I spent no extra money during the two days when the shop was closed

but raised the awareness of the people in the city.

I turned those unsalable goods

into precious items craved by everyone

through lantern riddles and guessing games.

This is a fantastic method

that can only be thought of

by an intelligent person like me.

I'm born with a gorgeous appearance.

Many passers-by didn't plan to buy medicines first,

but seeing a beautiful lady

like me standing there,

they would like to make a purchase too.

As it goes on,

the sales naturally went up.

As for the profit...

You made it.

According to our deal,

you can go to the accountant's office

to take five percent of the profit

as a reward.

Young Master, there's no need to be so formal.

It's all because of the guidance

you gave me,

and the antidote you offered,

or I would have been long gone.

If I were dead,

I wouldn't be able

to do all these for you.

Let's forget about the money.

Good then.

Are you really going to forget it?

What?

You got a problem?

That's not it. I wouldn't dare to.

But after all,

you've contributed a lot.

It's necessary for me

to give you some rewards.

I'll award you...

with the opportunity

to warm the bed for me tonight.

Young Lady.

Give it to me.
