Not long after, Yaoqin returned carrying an exquisitely crafted wooden box.
"Your Highness, look, is this the wooden box you wanted?" Yaoqin carefully held the wooden box in both hands and asked Su Nuannuan in a soft voice.
Su Nuannuan looked closely, her face lit up with joy, and she quickly replied, "That's right, it's this wooden box!" With that, she reached out and steadily took the wooden box.
Immediately afterwards, Su Nuannuan gently placed the wooden box on the table, then turned to Su Yuan and said, "Third Brother, this wooden box contains various bag designs that I personally created." Before she finished speaking, she pushed the wooden box toward Su Yuan.
These bag designs were actually meticulously drawn by Su Nuannuan in her spare time, stroke by stroke.
Upon hearing that it was a pattern for a bag, Su Yuan immediately became interested. He eagerly reached out and took the wooden box, then quickly opened the lid, took out a pattern, and carefully unfolded it.
When he saw the exquisite bag pattern in his hand, his eyes widened in surprise. He turned to Su Nuannuan and exclaimed, "Wow, little sister, I never knew you had such outstanding talent! Are all the bags in this wooden box these exquisite bag patterns?"
Su Nuannuan smiled slightly and answered confidently, "Of course. There are about a dozen different bag designs in this wooden box, and some of them are patterns for children's bags."
“Little sister, you left such a precious thing on the bookshelf so carelessly! You’re so careless! If someone steals it and sells it for money, you’ll be crying.” As Su Yuan spoke, he carefully folded the blueprint in his hand and then gently put it back into the wooden box.
Su Nuannuan, however, didn't take it seriously and retorted with a grin, "Third Brother, don't worry! Who would steal it? Besides, the most dangerous place is often the safest place. I've left it out in the open, so even if a thief comes, he'll just think it's a worthless trinket. After all, who would put something valuable directly on a bookshelf? Everyone hides their valuables; I'm doing the opposite."
Hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Su Yuan shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "Little sister, no matter what, you're always right."
Su Nuannuan raised her chin triumphantly and said, "Of course, because I'm in the right!"
Then, Su Yuan's expression suddenly turned serious. He looked at Su Nuannuan and said earnestly, "Little sister, regarding this bag shop, your third brother can only give you 30% of the profits. Your third brother will also take 30%, and the remaining 40% will be handed over to the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan immediately became displeased and muttered, "Isn't the national treasury quite well-stocked? Why do we still have to pay so much to the Emperor?"
She had absolutely no interest in helping the emperor make money; in fact, she loathed it. If it were merely to add some silver to the national treasury, Su Nuannuan might not have felt such strong resistance. But the problem was that one-tenth of the forty percent of the profits would go into the emperor's private treasury, and this money would ultimately be used to support the harem.
Although she was also a member of the harem, the amount of money she spent was disproportionate to the amount of money she earned for the emperor.
"This has absolutely nothing to do with whether the national treasury has any money. The key point is that the high-quality shops in Third Brother's hands were all obtained from the Emperor," Su Yuan said mysteriously as he approached Su Nuannuan.
"The Emperor actually gave you all those prime locations that were confiscated from your home?" Su Nuannuan asked in astonishment.
"Pretty much, that's what happens when you're good at making money," Su Yuan boasted smugly.
"Yes, yes, you're the best." Su Nuannuan replied irritably.
Watching her mistress and the Third Master bicker as usual, Yaoqin felt a warm current well up in her heart. This kind of daily bickering made her feel as if she had returned to the time before her mistress entered the palace.
Just then, Zhixiang suddenly walked in and greeted Su Nuannuan and Su Yuan with a bow: "Your Highness, Third Master."
"Zhixiang, it's not easy for your third uncle to come all this way, so you must prepare some good wine and food to entertain him." As soon as Su Yuan saw Zhixiang, he immediately changed to a playful tone and teased her.
"You flatter me, Third Master. How could I possibly have the finest wine and food to entertain you? The one who can serve you the finest wine and food is our Lady," Zhixiang replied with a smile, her tone neither humble nor arrogant.
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile. He shook his head and said softly, "Boring."
Seeing this, Su Nuannuan couldn't help but smile faintly. She blinked, looked at Su Yuan with a half-smile, and teased, "Third Brother, if you keep flirting with the girl next to me like this, I'm going to tell Third Sister-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "You can't tell your third sister-in-law about this, or you'll get your third brother into trouble."
Seeing this, Su Nuannuan chuckled inwardly and continued teasingly, "What, is Third Brother afraid of Third Sister-in-law? I think Third Sister-in-law is quite gentle."
Su Yuan's face instantly turned bright red. He glared at Su Nuannuan and said stubbornly, "How could I, a dignified man, be afraid of a woman? This is respect, don't you understand?"
Seeing this, Su Nuannuan laughed even harder. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Third Brother is the one who respects Third Sister-in-law the most."
Su Yuan, somewhat embarrassed by Su Nuannuan's teasing, touched his nose and fell silent.
Seeing this, Su Nuannuan stopped teasing him and turned to Zhixiang, asking with a smile, "Zhixiang, is there something you need?"
