Cursing Ren w.a.n.g In Anger (2)

"En." Du Xiao Li nodded. Although she believed that she alone can also handle this matter nicely, just like in her past life no matter how difficult, or how impossible, the mission was, she was all able to complete it perfectly, even if it meant suffering serious injuries. But, it seems having someone to rely on was also not bad.

But, just now, did he say husband?!

The two sat atop the treetop for a long time. And when Du Xiao Li's mood calmed down completely, she finally stood up and looked to Han Ming Yi, "Thank you, big brother Yi."

"What's there to thank." Han Ming Yi stood up, wanting to pinch her cheeks, yet got avoided by her. Seeing her body lean back, seemingly about to fall down, he hurriedly went forward, wanting to grab her waist. 

But Du Xiao Li's figure brushed past, dodging his arm. Then, she leapt backwards, agilely landing on the ground. 

The instant Du Xiao Li fell, Han Ming Yi broke out in cold sweat from the fright, wanting to grab onto her, yet saw the teasing look in her eye and blanked for a moment, before seeing her smoothly land on the ground. 

"Big brother Yi, what are you still doing up there? If you don't come down, I'm going to just go back by myself." Du Xiao Li waved at Han Ming Yi as she spoke with a smile.

Seeing Du Xiao Li's smiling appearance, Han Ming Yi helplessly laughed, then jumped down and landed next to her, tapping her forehead, "Naughty."

"Who told you to always take me outside without asking me first!" Du Xiao Li said, covering her forehead.

Han Ming Yi grabbed her hand and pulled her in the direction back to the estate, saying: "I should've noticed sooner, for you to still be able to see things under a moonless night, this was the display of having inner energy. But, such an obvious thing, I ended up overlooking. When did you learn martial arts?" 

"Learned it when I was little!" Du Xiao Li didn't pull her hand from his, freely allowing him to hold her hand. 

"In the beginning, no matter how Leng Er tried to teach you, weren't you unable to learn it? He even helplessly said that you didn't have the gift to learn martial arts!" 

"At that time, I indeed didn't learn it, but afterwards, I was able to teach myself."

"Then let's compete sometime?" 

"Don't wanna. You're Feng Ming's Ding w.a.n.g, it's not good if I beat you, but if I lose, I'll be unhappy as well."

"Hehehe........"

The morning of the next day, after Du Xiao Li had everything on the estate arranged, she took Xia Yuan with her and headed to the capital. And before chen-hour(7-9am), they arrived at Sui Yuan Club. Mu Zi Mu had long arranged for someone to wait for her at the entrance, and to quickly have her welcomed inside once her horse carriage arrives.

Mu Zi Mu was currently in the courtyard holding a morning meeting for the staff at the club, telling them the club will soon stop business for a short period of time, because the club is about to receive a major task. At this time, the guard at the gate brought Du Xiao Li and Xia Yuan inside. 

"Miss." When Mu Zi Mu saw Du Xiao Li, he neatly bowed to her, and then turned to the people below, "This is our Sui Yuan Club's owner, Miss Du Xiao Li. Everyone can just call her miss. The other one is Miss Xia Yuan."

"Miss." Everyone uniformly bowed to Du Xiao Li.

Du Xiao Li waved her hand and said, "This year, everyone has worked hard, Xiao Li will express one's heartfelt grat.i.tude here. This later matter will not only bear upon the club's future, but will further affect every one of our lives. But if we handle this matter well this time, then the Sui Yuan Club's name will become renowned all over the world! That's why, everyone all needs to put in a hundred and twenty percent effort, understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone all uniformly replied.

Du Xiao Li nodded in satisfaction and said, "Later, we'll need to trouble everyone to work hard! Uncle Mu, you can continue." 

With that said, she took two steps back and watched from the side.

Mu Zi Mu coughed twice and continued with what he was saying earlier. A while later, the guard at the entrance brought in two people. Hearing the sound, Du Xiao Li turned to look, and just as she expected, the incoming person was the head eunuch at Han Ming Ze's side, Eunuch Shan.

"Eunuch Shan." Mu Zi Mu cupped his hands at the eunuch.

"Manager Mu, has your boss returned?" Eunuch Shan saw Mu Zi Mu and directly asked.

"Replying to Eunuch Shan, the owner has already returned. This is our boss." Mu Zi Mu pointed to Du Xiao Li and said.

When Eunuch Shan saw Du Xiao Li, he widened his mouth in shock.

"Du, Miss Du? How come it's you?"

Du Xiao Li smiled towards Eunuch Shan and said, "Greetings Eunuch Shan!"

"Keke, Miss Du, you're the owner of Sui Yuan Club?" Eunuch Shan swung the horsetail whisk in hand once and restrained his surprise, as he smilingly looked to Du Xiao Li. 

Du Xiao Li nodded.

"Haha, Miss Du really is a promising youth. Since you're the owner of Sui Yuan, then please follow this one to the palace, his Majesty is still waiting!" Eunuch Shan said.

Du Xiao Li curtsied and said, "Eunuch Shan, please." 

This was Du Xiao Li's second time entering the palace, and Eunuch Shan directly lead her to the imperial study. Du Xiao Li observed the guards on the two sides along the way, thinking to herself that the imperial palace's security was indeed incomparable. 

Eunuch Shan let Du Xiao Li wait outside, and then walked in, seeing Han Ming Ze currently in the middle of speaking with Han Ming Yi, Han Ming Hong, and also Du Yun Han.

"Your Majesty, Sui Yuan's owner is already waiting outside the hall." 

Han Ming Ze was just speaking with Han Ming Yi and Du Yun Han about the compet.i.tion this time, and hearing Eunuch Shan's words, he said, "Announce." 

Eunuch Shan turned and shouted towards the outside of the hall, "Announcing Sui Yuan's owner Du Xiao Li---------"

Hearing Eunuch Shan's voice, Du Xiao Li followed the eunuch that came out to greet her into the imperial study, and upon seeing the imperial study that was bigger than the average people's guest hall, she once again sighed at the imperial palace's luxury.

"This humble official greets your Majesty, Ding w.a.n.g, Ren w.a.n.g, and Prime Minister Du." Du Xiao Li knelt down and bowed towards Han Ming Ze.

"Du, Du Xiao Li?" Aside from Han Ming Ze, everyone present were all shocked.

"You're Sui Yuan's owner?"

"Replying to your Majesty, it is precisely this humble official." Du Xiao Li calmly replied. Seeing the similarly shocked Du Yun Han, she apologetically smiled.

Scaring even her own father, she won't suffer a beating when she returns home, right?

"How can that be? How are you Sui Yuan's owner? Impossible, impossible........" Han Ming Hong was the most shocked among them, with a look like he'd suffered a huge blow, and continously shook his head.

Han Ming Ze returned to his senses and said, "Imperial Physician Du, why don't you get up first."

"Thank you, your Majesty." Du Xiao Li said and stood up.

"Du Xiao Li ah Du Xiao Li, how many secrets do you really have? Did you really grow up in the mountain village?" Han Ming Ze looked to Du Xiao Li and questioned with a sigh.

"Replying to your Majesty, this humble official, from childhood, has only ever been raised in Du village. Aside from this time, I've never left Zhou county before. This is also something that everyone Zhou county all knows." Du Xiao Li said.

Ever since she helped the people of Du village become wealthy, she has become a famous person in Zhou county. Quite a few people have gone to her to purchase the saplings for grapes and tangerines. This is also a portion of her later income.

"Impossible! If you grew up in a farming village, how come you know medicine? How come you know how to sing and dance?" Han Ming Hong flatly objected.
