“Forget it.” Cheng Yunshuo directly refused Xing Dai Rong.
“Cheng Yunshuo, is this what you call loving me!” Xing Dai Rong’s face changed color. “You promised me a lifetime of monogamy, and now you want me to be a concubine? I asked you to elope with me, to be husband and wife, and you said no. All this talk, you’re just deceiving me.”
“Can you stop making a fuss?”
“Cheng Yunshuo, I’ll ask you one last time, are you willing to elope with me?”
“Xing Dai Rong, can you be a little more sensible? If we run away, how will we survive? We’ll only have the money we bring with us, which will run out eventually. What will we rely on then? Your money-making schemes? Without the Houfu, who will clean up your mess?”
Xing Dai Rong stood up, clenching her fists, her heart filled with a determined conviction. “I told you, I have a surefire way to make you famous and wealthy!”
“What secret formula do you have? Show me now!”
“You just need to elope with me, and I’ll tell you! It’s guaranteed to make you famous throughout the land.”
“Haha, if you have such a secret formula, why do you need to elope with me to tell me?”
“Cheng Yunshuo, in the end, you just don’t trust me!”
“Xing Dai Rong, what makes me trust you?”
The two of them bickered, tearing at each other’s masks until finally, Xing Dai Rong stood there, her chest heaving, looking at the man before her.
After a moment of regaining her composure, her eyes filled with tears and hatred, she gritted her teeth and said, “Just tell me, are we eloping or not.”
“No!” Cheng Yunshuo immediately rejected her.
“Fine, don’t regret it!”
Xing Dai Rong pushed Cheng Yunshuo out of the room.
Cheng Yunshuo, still angry, wasn’t willing to stay there. He simply brushed his sleeve and went directly to the next room, Qiuxiang Courtyard.
His lack of trust in Xing Dai Rong filled her with a burning hatred.
“I will make you regret this! I will!”
In terms of making money, she had indeed accepted reality. Modern times were different from ancient times. Modern business models were simply a joke in ancient times where productivity couldn’t keep up.
And she didn’t actually have any business skills. Even if she found some direction that might work in ancient times, she couldn’t think of it, or control it.
But she might not be good at business, she still had modern knowledge!
After being rejected by Lu Lingyun, she went back to her room and thought for a whole day about what she could offer, something that would amaze everyone.
Could she, a modern woman who had crossed over, be defeated by these ancient people?
She went through all the knowledge she could remember from elementary school to high school and came up with a few things that were completely feasible.
One was the saponification reaction for making soap, the other was making gunpowder.
One sulfur, two nitrates, three charcoal – the gunpowder formula everyone learned in junior high chemistry.
She had the gunpowder formula. It was something that could shake the entire ancient dynasty!
As long as Cheng Yunshuo eloped with her, she would give him this gunpowder formula! He would definitely become famous and successful.
But now… haha! This jerk!
She would make him regret it! She would make him wish he hadn’t done this!
Xing Dai Rong locked the door and packed all her belongings. She was going to escape from the Houfu!
Lu Lingyun learned that Cheng Yunshuo had quarreled with Xing Dai Rong again. After hearing their argument, she shook her head.
“Tell the second mistress to hurry up.” She said to Chunxing.
“Yes, Young Madam.”
That Xing Dai Rong was ultimately useless, they should find someone else.
The next day…
