Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Beautiful —

Feng Zhen took a hot bath and changed into soft, airy, and light clothing – Because of his addiction to Hanshi powder over the years, his skin had become very soft, just briefly rubbing it will cause red marks. It is excruciatingly painful which is why he only wears old and soft garments.

After taking a bath, his long hair was still wet, he sat as he enjoyed the wine Jiang Pengji fermented.

With one gulp he swallowed it. Wherever the wine passed, it heated up that area. The warmth spread across his four limbs and hundreds of bones; the mild tipsy sensation influenced by alcohol rushed to his brain.

“There’s such a potent wine in this world? Impressive!”

Before he couldn’t adapt, but afterwards, he reminisced about the taste fondly. That mild alcoholic taste caused him to feel light-headed... this is more addictive than Hanshi powder!

This is heavenly —

This is even more enjoyable than Hanshi powder.

Jiang Pengji discreetly raised her eyebrows, the viewers in the live streaming room also expressed their concern.

Shuzhong Ziyou Yanruyi: “Streamer, are you certain that it is enough for this fellow to give up on Hanshi powder? Why not also give up drinking?”

Jianghu Cuotuo: “Not only to give up on drinking but also gambling and lust. The live streaming room should exude with positive energy. The likes of Feng Zhen who lives without restraints should undergo reformation. He should just become a monk, sever himself from all Five Aggregates.”

Luodi Huashengtang: “Hahaha, although he deserves to be pitied, this is unbearably hard. Therefore, my heart aches for him.”

Xiaotianshi: “If he didn’t meet the streamer, Feng Zhen would live leisurely. He can court death however he wishes, yet now...Ai, he is helpless... Perhaps meeting the streamer is Feng Zhen’s greatest trial.”

She added, “The liver is often damaged by alcohol, it isn’t wise to drink. Just drinking half a bottle today will suffice.”

She poured more than half of the bottle of beer into her bowl and raising her neck, she drank it all.

“My wine —”

Just as he stretched his hand to stop her, only a few drops of the wine was left in her bowl, it was so fast that Feng Zhen couldn’t react in time.

She mocked him coldly. “This is mine.”

Feng Zhen clenched his teeth retorting, “Why are you so hateful!”

He hadn’t had his fill.

Jiang Pengji said, “Do you still want to drink? Bear with it till the next wave of addiction then.”

Feng Zhen: “...”

I have an offensive statement “does your father know how blinded you are”, but I don’t know if it should be said.

Liu Xi, you had better come back!

As Jiang Pengji said, the initial stages of giving up an addiction is very painful and it will act up frequently. But after one overcomes this phase, it gets subsequently easier.

One to two days from the start, the addiction will hit him once and an episode will last for more than half a day. Then it will extend slowly to between 3 to 5 days before one’s addiction acts up and it will only last for an hour.

After two months, his energy levels slowly improved, his cheeks glowed pink with health, the paleness on his lips disappeared, he even gained some fat on his face.

Although he has yet to completely give up his addiction of Hanshi powder, when his addiction resurfaces, he doesn’t require Jiang Pengji’s special attention anymore. Just relying on his determination alone, he can withstand the withdrawal effects and keep his desire to consume Hanshi powder under control. This is a big step forward.

Of course, judging from the audience’s despising comments, perhaps it is because the wine is more tempting to Feng Zhen than Hanshi powder.

The benefits of giving up an addiction is obvious; this matter is close to Feng Zhen’s heart. Previously, his mind was clouded like a hard to eradicate dirt on glass, now that the dust is removed, the sun can shine in without obstruction. His line of thoughts was never this clear, his reaction time is also much faster than before, he even managed to significantly regain his ability to remember. Critically, during the time when he was under the influence of the Hanshi powder, his mind was retarded, his memory was poor, he often forgot unimportant things once he hears them.

She saw that he was recovering well so she immediately got him to be escorted to the government office. She ordered Dian Yan to be his bodyguard; even when he went to the toilet, Dian Yan will be waiting outside and he cannot leave his side without a valid reason... this made Feng Zhen furious.

She continued, “Isn’t this because I fear your addiction will suddenly be triggered? I will feel more reassured if Dian Yan watches you.”

Feng Zhen said, “Who believes your words?”

Is it certain she is concerned for him?

All the Hanshi powder he possessed was confiscated, he couldn’t use Hanshi powder even if he wanted to. When his wine addiction kicks in sometimes, he wishes to drink or secretly find some beauties to drink with and enjoy the pleasures, but shortly after, Dian Yan will appear quietly and stare at him. He just looked at him speechlessly and watched him. Even if Feng Zhen has a thick skin, he was still embarrassed to continue embracing the beauty.

Is this showing concern? One after another they came, he is about to be scared to death!

Jiang Pengji looked him in the eye. “The autumn’s harvest just ended, Fengyi county is getting busy with preparations for winter, be it the livelihood of the people or training of the military soldiers, one event after another, it gives one a headache from all the work lined up. During such times, if you enjoy yourself, what will the people around think? After we slog hard in this season, you can fool around however you wish with alcohol and beauties, I will bear the cost of them all. How does that sound?”

Such benevolence? Feng Zhen was suspicious in his heart, but she made it sound so sincere, he couldn’t help but choose to believe.

Feng Jin expressed his disapproval, the lord’s ability to paint an unrealistic picture is even more superb now. Feng Zhen is ignorant about how terrifying it is to work overtime.

But... he secretly saw how Feng Zhen was when his addiction hit him. Yet now he is given responsibilities when he has yet to completely give up his addiction, won’t there be problems?

Jiang Pengji replied, “It doesn’t matter, don’t underestimate this sickly person, he is bursting with energy. Whenever he is idle, no one knows what’s on his mind. This is dangerous if his addiction kicks in. It is better that he works at the government office and expends some energy to ensure that he has no energy to think of what Hanshi powder is. To put it plainly, in the past when his addiction to Hanshi powder seized him, he had time. When he gets busy, the situation will improve.”

She wore a stoic face as she fabricated tales, Feng Jin dare not flippantly agree with it. How can he not know that a heavy workload can help with overcoming an addiction? Obviously, it’s his lord who made up false stories.

During the last few days of November, Gu Xin’s trustworthy man brought his business group to Xiangyang district. This time the goods transported were numerous compared to the total goods brought previously.

“Your servant greets the Young Master.”

Her trusted subordinate is seeing her for the first time, but the reverence on his face isn’t pretentious.

“How did the plan go?”

Jiang Pengji spoke at great lengths with this reliable worker in the study room. All the guards and servant girls were sent away. She even switched off the livestream temporarily.

Gu Xin’s trusted subordinate is the storekeeper of the treasure house and he reported, “Everything is proceeding smoothly, the so called “Coloured glass of the heavenly palace” has already been sold to the business union at the North borders for 30% of the price. The money, jewellery, and precious treasures we obtained are recorded here, I ask the master to have a look.”

Jiang Pengji received the thick book of accounts, the records are very detailed, there have been no monetary transactions.

“I will have to trouble you this time. I intend to reward the business group for transporting the goods with 200,000 strings of coins.”

Although it’s only 30%, the profits are undoubtedly bountiful. Twenty sets of glass apparatus and head accessories were purchased at standard price, they earned a total of 1,830,000 strings of coins. The remaining 2000 sets were sold at 30% of the price to the business union at the North borders. In total 17,360,000 strings of coins.

Both add up to 19,190,000 strings of coins. This was all exchanged for equivalent gold, silver and precious treasures so their net worth was not compromised.

The storekeeper at the treasure house used over ten thousand strings of coins to amass large amounts of sheep’s skin and fur, he bought almost all the farmers’ stocks at the North borders.

The storekeeper smiled saying, “This is your servant’s job.”

She smiled as she kept the account book, then gently replied, “No, the reward is what you deserve.”
