Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard Chapter 78.4

Chapter 78 . 4 – Cursing Ren Wang In Anger (4)

Once the initial plans were drawn up, Du Xiao Li mentioned to the Emperor about removing the gu for the Grand
Empress Dowager . In the end, they set the time two days later . After the gu is removed, the Grand Empress
Dowager can return to the palace, and she can start preparing for the competition at ease .
Removing the gu for the Grand Empress Dowager was a major matter, and after Han Ming Ze confirmed the timing,
he agreed to Du Xiao Li staying at the estate these next two days to take care of the Grand Empress Dowager . The
preparations for Sui Yuan on this side will be given to Du Yun Han and Mu Zi Mu to take care of . After she
removes the gu for the Grand Empress Dowager, she can then return to the capital .
“Phew—-”
Du Xiao Li stood outside the palace gates and heavily let out a deep breath . Every time she entered the palace, she
always felt so repressed . Those those jade carvings, in her eyes, weren't the least bit attractive, but rather were like a
prison, confining the youth of countless people . Even those with smiles carved on their faces seemingly all
contained sorrow .
“This girl, what else are you hiding from me?” Before Du Xiao Li could even sigh, Du Yun Han flicked her
forehead .
“Father, so painful!” Du Xiao Li shouted in complaint at Du Yun Han .
“Hmph, who let you keep everything from me!” Du Yun Han wanted to knock her on the head again, but seeing her
covering her head and pitifully looking to him, he put his hand down . “Look at the matter this time . If you'd let me
known earlier that Sui Yuan was your place, I definitely would have long asked his Majesty to turn down this

matter . But now, such an important matter landed on our heads . ”
“I didn't know either . Who knew that Han Ming Hong would have Sui Yuan pushed out . Father, don't be angry
anymore . ” Du Xiao Li, seeing Du Yun Han not going to hit her again, went up and coiled around his arm, as she
coquettishly persuaded .
“Knowing medical skills, you kept from me . Sui Yuan is yours, you also kept from me . Do you have anything else
that you're still hiding from me?” Du Yun Han glared at Du Xiao Li and asked .
Du Xiao Li looked to Du Yun Han and weakly laughed, “That uh, does ones opened together with others count?”
“Of course! As long as you're involved, it all counts!” Hearing Du Xiao Li say this, Du Yun Han just knew she still
had things hidden from him .
“Keke, let's talk in the horse carriage then . I can take you all to Sui Yuan for a look . Afterwards, I'll return to the
estate . ” Du Xiao Li suggested .
“Let's go then . ”
Du Xiao Li and Du Yun Han, as well as Han Ming Yi, got on the horse carriage together . The driver waved the whip
and the horse carriage slowly departed from the palace gates . After the left, in a corner outside the palace, Han Ming
Hong walked out from behind, watching Du Xiao Li's horse carriage leave . His two eyes layered with haze .
The horse carriage proceeded towards Sui Yuan . In the horse carriage, Du Xiao Li looked to Du Yun Han with a
weak expression .
“Talk . ” Du Yun Han waited until the horse carriage left the palace perimeter before speaking .

“That um, Feng Xue Lou has my shares . ” Du Xiao Li obediently confessed .
“What's a share?” Du Yun Han and Han Ming Yi both looked to Du Xiao Li, neither having heard this term before .
(T/N: The term in chinese is specifically referring to company shares, which is a modern term . )
“Eh, in simple terms, it just means I've invested funds in it . Afterwards, according to the ratio, I get a share in the
profits . In other words, I'm like a half-owner . ” Du Xiao Li explained .
“Then in other words, Feng Xue Lou is also considered your place?” As soon as Du Yun Han heard Feng Xue Lou,
his heart violently jumped . That was also a noteworthy place!
(T/N: DXL's second passive skill would be giving people heart attacks lmaoo . )

Du Xiao Li nodded .
“Is there more?”
“Also, that uh, the Li family fruit wine………” Du Xiao Li rubbed her nose . Thinking of it like this, she seemed to
own quite a lot of businesses .
“The Li Family Winery that's selling the grape wine?” Du Yun Han asked .
“Yes . ”
Du Xiao Li looked to Du Yun Han staring back at her and not talking, seemingly angry, but before she could say
anything, Du Yun Han just burst into laughter, following which he patted Du Xiao Li's shoulder and said, “Not bad,
not bad, as expected of my daughter! Good! Good!”
Seeing Du Yun Han not get angry, Du Xiao Li also sighed in relief inside, even though she herself didn't know what
she was nervous about .
Because it was already nearing noon, when Du Xiao Li and them arrived at Sui Yuan, Mu Zi Mu had already
prepared lunch . And after eating lunch, Mu Zi Mu showed them around the Sui Yuan Club, letting them understand
this place a bit . Shortly after, Du Xiao Li went back in the horse carriage with Xia Yuan .
Because the Grand Empress Dowager was at the estate, even if it was relatively busy right now, Han Ming Yi still
rushed back to the estate before dark . Now, it seems he was already used to it . Wherever she was at was the place he
wanted to go, just like having someone waiting for him to return home .
After dinner, Du Xiao Li explained the situation to the Grand Empress Dowager, and also explained about removing
the gu for her, explaining to have the time set two days later, because in these next two days, she needed to prepare
medicine for inhibiting the gu .
When Meng Jiang Zhuo learned that Du Xiao Li was the owner of Sui Yuan, she covered her own mouth in shock,
looking to Du Xiao Li in disbelief . After a long while, she finally made out a few words, “Xiao Li, are you really
just thirteen? How come you know everything? Sui Yuan Club is actually also yours? Next time, if someone were to
tell me Feng Xue Lou is yours, I won't be shocked!”
Du Xiao Li looked to Meng Jiang Zhuo and smiled . Don't know, when that day comes, will she really not be
shocked .
The next day, while Du Xiao Li was in the medicine room preparing the medicine for inhibiting the gu . Xia Yuan
entered and said someone came to the estate looking for her . When Du Xiao Li went out to see, she saw Niu Jing
and Qing Chen respectfully bowing to the incoming person

Du Xiao Li turned to look . A total of four people came . One was a petite near seventy old man, precisely the so
called medicine king, Hu Yi Jian . The others were a tall and slender middle aged man with delicate features, a
roughly twenty years old woman in white muslin, and also Tong Tong .
“Senior brother?”
“Xiao Li, quickly come over, shifu has come . ” Niu Jing waved his hand at Du Xiao Li .
Du Xiao Li walked over and performed a formal bow towards Hu Yi Jian, “This disciple, Du Xiao Li, greets shifu . ”
“Haha, you're Xiao Li? Come, come, let this shifu see . En, one look and one can tell you're a clever child . No
wonder, you are able to inherit my Medicine King Valley's medical skills . ” Although Hu Yi Jian's age wasn't small,
his body was still very healthy . When he spoke, his voice was fully of energy .
“Previously said to send someone to go fetch you all, but senior brother said you all didn't know when you were
coming either . ” Du Xiao Li, seeing Hu Yi Jian a bit like a mischievous old child, felt very close to him .
“Haha, because I didn't know when I would arrive either . Qing Chen understands . ” Hu Yi Jian said .
“Junior sister, this is your senior brother, Wang Ze, and your shizhi* . ” Qing Chen introduced the other two people to
Du Xiao Li .
(*T/N: Shizhi translates to like disciple-niece . )
“Senior brother Wang Ze . ” Du Xiao Li nodded towards Wang Ze, and greeted first .
“Nuo'er greets little shishu . ” Nuo'er went forward and bowed to Du Xiao Li, greeting her, but her expression and
tone all showed a kind of 'not having Du Xiao Li taken seriously' feeling .
