My domineering ex-husband is living off his wife in ancient times.

Chapter 124 Wholesale or Buyout

Si Shaoheng: "...?"

He wanted to slowly press out a question mark.

This woman actually managed to ask "why"?!

"Because of love." He said very seriously.

Cheng Ruoan rolled her eyes. "I don't believe you."

After some internal consideration, she guessed it was probably a power struggle within a wealthy family, or a transfer of assets to avoid risks.

Since it's all in the past, Cheng Ruoan didn't want to think about it anymore.

She was genuinely terrified by the possibility that Lin Shishi might have also transmigrated here.

Given Lin Shishi's dark personality, if she had also transmigrated with some kind of spatial ability, system, or cheat ability like them, and knew that the other two were still alive...

Stealing a man is a small matter; what's a big deal is trying every means to take away her personal space.

Even worse, Lin Shishi took pleasure in torture and murder.

She might even include the Si family and the Cheng family on her list of people to be tortured and killed.

Cheng Ruoan is overthinking things, that's why she's so afraid.

"Don't think too much about it. Ancient times are different from modern times. It's much easier to destroy evidence in ancient times." Si Shaoheng said this, his eyes showing an unusually ruthless look.

Cheng Ruoan bit her lip, making up her mind: "Let's take a gamble."

"What are you gambling?"

"I bet she doesn't have a gun. If we really run into each other, I'll just shoot her dead."

So what if using a gun will deduct reputation points?

Even if it means being downgraded in terms of space, Cheng Ruoan will not give Lin Shishi any chance.

Si Shaoheng admired her decisive manner and said with a smile, "That's right, no need to worry in advance."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "But how can you be so sure that the time traveler who wanted to start an egg and meat burger business was Lin Shishi?"

"When we were in the orphanage, Lin Shishi fell in love with a blond-haired boy. His family owned a shop in town that sold fried skewers and egg and meat burgers."

Lin Shishi once boasted to us that Xiao Huangmao's family earned over a thousand yuan a day just selling egg and meat hamburgers in town, and she went to Xiao Huangmao's house every day just to learn his skills.

Si Shaoheng's lips twitched. "Your suspicions have some merit."

Cheng Ruoan hummed in agreement, lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and went to her spatial dimension.

She went to check on the villa's electronic butler and found that the highest authority of the electronic butler still belonged to Si Shaoheng, but after the words "Space Master," her modern name was clearly displayed: Li Ruoan.

Aside from the activation of the e-butler, which requires Si Shaoheng's permission, all other functions and permission modifications can only be performed and unlocked by the space owner.

Cheng Ruoan felt a little relieved and muttered to herself, "Let's take another gamble."

Even if what Si Shaoheng just said was a lie, if he really met Lin Shishi, he would weigh the pros and cons and choose her.

After Cheng Ruoan opened her eyes again, her family members came to her bedroom to see her one after another.

Cheng's mother also brought chicken soup porridge, and Cheng Ruo'an only realized her stomach was cramping when she smelled it.

But she didn't get to eat, because Si Xin and Si Nian, the two little devils, pounced on Cheng Ruo'an's bed and showered her with kisses.

"Mommy~ You scared me to death! I thought you were going to become an idiot!" The little girl's chubby face was full of worry.

After saying that, the chubby little hand hugged Cheng Ruoan's face.

Just like the New Year's picture doll holding a big koi fish.

Si Xin also stretched out her little hand, palm and back of her hand, and touched Cheng Ruoan's forehead over and over to make sure that she really didn't have a fever.

"Alright, your mother is really alright now. Come down quickly and let her eat something. She hasn't eaten properly for two days!" Si Shaoheng's tone was somewhat stern.

Cheng's mother glared at him unhappily, "So you know An'an has been sick for two days? Why didn't you come back sooner?"

He clearly had a miracle drug to reduce fever; if he had come back earlier and given it to his daughter, she wouldn't have had recurring fevers for the past two days.

Si Shaoheng could only clasp his hands in apology: "It was my fault."

After taking Cheng Ruoan's pulse and confirming that she was alright, Dr. Hu took Si Shaoheng outside.

“Disciple and son-in-law, come out with me and let the mother and her two daughters speak first.”

"Yes."

As soon as the two stepped out, Doctor Hu looked at Si Shaoheng with shining eyes.

"That miraculous fever reducer, did Ruo'an give it to you? May I take a look?"

Si Shaoheng knew that he wanted to research and try to make his own miraculous antipyretic.

However... given the limitations of the times, even if Dr. Hu's medical skills were superb, it would be impossible for him to make ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, right?

Just as Si Shaoheng was still thinking of a reason to decline, Dr. Hu provided one himself.

Dr. Hu: "I know that the identities of the Cheng family are all fake. My apprentice is from a reclusive family of doctors, so the miraculous medicine she possesses cannot be easily revealed to the world."

But I swear, I vow, I'll try to figure it out myself, and I'm not even sure if I can make the same thing. Even if I do, I will never casually use it to treat or save people!

As he spoke, the old man raised his finger and swore an oath to the heavens.

Si Shaoheng raised an eyebrow, quickly pressed down the hand that was swearing, and coughed, saying, "Since you guessed it, Master, then I won't make up any other excuses to fob you off."

The medical book I gave you before was already taken out by my wife in violation of the family's ancestral teachings. As for other miraculous medicines and secret medicines, we absolutely cannot take them anymore.

I hope Master will understand.

The light in Dr. Hu's eyes dimmed, and he sighed heavily, "Fine, fine then."

Seeing his disappointed expression, and remembering how Dr. Hu had been giving Cheng Ruo'an acupuncture and prescribing medicine for the past two days, with the herbal decoction being personally brewed by Dr. Hu himself...

"Master, Ruo'an told me you like my collection of wines? Do you have time to come to my study now?"

Dr. Hu's eyes were practically like voice-activated light bulbs; this one sentence made them light up again.

"Yes, of course I'm free!"

Upon arriving at the study, Si Shaoheng discovered that he couldn't directly retrieve items from the storage room in the space. After thinking about it, he realized that Cheng Ruoan still didn't feel secure.

Si Shaoheng lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly and bitterly.

"Fortunately, there's still wine on the wine cabinet in the living room."

While Si Shaoheng and Doctor Hu were enjoying wine in the study, Cheng Ruoan, her mother, and her elder sister had already planned to visit Master Zhao at Youjian Inn early the next morning.

The reason why Manager Luo rushed over to find Cheng Ruoan was because Boss Zhao was very optimistic about the Cloud Ointment business.

Coincidentally.

Zhao Dongjia's most favored embroiderer returned to her home in the village and helped with chores for two days. Her hands were frostbitten from the cold water.

It itches and hurts every day, and even after applying the best frostbite ointment, I still can't get a needle in.

That day, Madam Cheng casually gave Manager Luo a few jars of cloud ointment, which Manager Luo then gave to Boss Zhao, who in turn took them out for the embroiderer to try.

As a result, after applying it three times a day, morning, noon and night, the embroiderer's chilblains stopped healing the next day.

Cheng Ruotong told Cheng Ruoan the information she had found out: "Besides Youjian Inn, Zhao Dongjia also owns Youjian Embroidery Workshop. In the entire northern region, out of the thirty embroidery workshops, ten of the embroiderers come from Youjian Embroidery Workshop."

Cheng Ruoan ate a mouthful of chicken soup porridge that Si Xin fed her, and Niannian wiped her mouth for her before she asked.

"So, Mr. Zhao didn't appreciate my suggestion to sell the hand cream in the inn, but instead focused on its therapeutic effects and plans to buy it wholesale from me?"

Cheng Ruotong didn't quite understand the exact meaning of "wholesale," but she could guess the general idea from the context, so she nodded: "Yes, Manager Luo means that Boss Zhao wants your hand cream to be supplied exclusively to her."
