Chapter 740: Someone else
Chapter 740: Someone else
\' Why is the young princess here?\' Magistrate Li was shocked upon seeing the familiar yet unexpected face in the Yu house. She was the young miss of the Li family and the close aide of the exiled princess which was why she had seen the face of the second princess\'s daughter and there was no way that she will be able to forget this majestic face that looked just like the second princess with the features of the imperial consorts mixed in.Qiao Sha winced in pain but she realised that she was supposed to stay silent which was why even though she was feeling like her foot was going to be crushed, she remained silent and did not say anything other than smiling through pain at Yu Dong and the rest.
Her actions caught Yu Dong\'s attention which was why she turned to look at Qiao Sha but when she turned to look at the latter, she heard Magistrate Li say out of nowhere,
" This kid… is she yours, Miss Yu? She looks a lot like you in some places," Magistrate Li was not lying when she said that with Yu Dong who looked like a heroic general, her features matched with the second princess a little causing the young princess to look rather similar to Yu Dong.
Yu Dong who was suddenly called out for having another kid immediately turned her attention to Magistrate Li and then shook her head as she hurriedly replied, " Oh no, she is not mine. She was abandoned by her parents in the town …" she turned to look at the young girl and when she saw that the young girl was busy with Yu Mai who was trying to keep all the pieces that he had hoarded for himself, only then did she turn to look at Magistrate Li and then said, " They left her in my carriage, which is why I brought her here with me. I did not want to leave her alone in the streets."
" It came as a surprise to us as well," said Chen Mi while scratching his cheek as he looked at Magistrate Li and then added, " We all too thought that wife brought her illegitimate child from the outside, the girl looks a bit too much like wife."
" Yeah, I was almost executed by the four of them," joked Yu Dong causing the four mers to flush red.
Upon remembering what they did when Yu Dong brought the girl home, all the four mers turned red in embarrassment, they were indeed a bit too quick in jumping the gun back then.
" Well it\'s to be expected," Magistrate Li chuckled, heaving a sigh inwardly upon successfully diverting the attention of Yu Dong and her family. For the time being, it was better if the young princess\'s identity remains hidden, if not then the second princess would not have left her daughter without telling Yu Dong who she was —— she turned to look at the young princess and then turned to look at Yu Dong before asking, " Can you grow these things, Miss Yu?"
She pointed to the matsutake mushrooms and the other two that were sitting on top of the table, from what she realised, it could be seen that these things were indeed good and if they sell them in the imperial city, then she was sure that she will be able to make a lot of profit with Yu Dong.
"That\'s right, you do not need to worry about it at all," Yu Dong nodded as she agreed with what Magistrate Li said, in fact, she was itching to get her hands on these things and start planting them as soon as possible. That way she will have an unlimited amount of these treasures and eat them whenever she wanted to.
She then turned her attention to Magistrate Li after taking her gaze away from the mushrooms that were resting on the table. " If I am not wrong, then I can assure you that you can sell one box for at least a hundred gold taels, for this one." She pointed to the matsutake mushrooms before continuing as for the rest, " Fifty to thirty gold taels are enough."
\' Are enough?\' Qiao Sha and Magistrate Li stared at Yu Dong who was asking for a family\'s fortune in exchange for mushrooms. Though they tasted good who will pay hundred golden taels for just one box of mushrooms?
Because their expressions were too vivid, Yu Dong was able to see what they were thinking and easily said, " These mushrooms can only be grown by me, they can try to grow them but they will only be able to grow this one." She pointed to the lion\'s mane mushroom and then added, " The other two can only be grown by me since I am the only one who knows how to grow them."
" With their delectable scent and taste, they will surely become a novelty in the imperial city but…" Yu Dong dragged on causing Magistrate Li to feel her brows twitch as she echoed, " But?"
" But these mushrooms need a mountain, one with various flora and fauna to flourish, without that they will dry up and then they will become useless what are we going to do then?" As she spoke Yu Dong pulled a troubled expression causing Magistrate Li to sigh as she rubbed her forehead before bursting out laughing as she said,
" All right, you got me! I will name this territory yours."
