Chapter 248 - [Bonus ]Naughty Husband Under Table

The Huo family was going bald with worries, they knew that if the old lady didn't sleep then sooner or later she might end up meeting an unfortunate accident. Huo Ci was also on the end of his wits, his grandmother was the only one who could control that good concubine, Tao of his father, he was afraid that if something happened to his grandmother then concubine Tao who was suppressed by the collective efforts of his grandmother and mother, will finally be able to take full control over the matter of the inner courtyard.

As his father's son, Huo Ci was naturally not interested in his father's harem matters but because this involved his mother's safety and pride, he couldn't sit still and watch his grandmother succumb in his good ' half brother ' and ' Aunt Tao ' ' s scheme.

He knew that whatever happened back then was more or less linked to that Shu son, but he had no evidence. He could only watch Huo Ting put on a filial act silently.

Today, he came out of his house to see whether or not he will be able to secure something good that might help his grandmother in calming her nerves, though he wasn't optimistic he couldn't give up either. It was only when he passed by Lin Chen and Su Wan's shop and smelled that soft and gentle scents emanating from the small wooden boxes did he paused in his steps and walked inside the shop.

However, Huo Ci was still a little troubled. He couldn't understand what he was thinking, his grandmother already had enough incense sent by famous physicians who knew the way around the world, how could these perfumes which only cost three taels be comparable to them? But he was already in a completely out of control situation, it couldn't get any worse, could it? There was no harm in trying his luck either.

" Calm nerves? Yes, we do have a few perfumes for calming one's nerves " answered Lin Chen as he took out some wooden boxes from the cupboard and placed it on the counter " this one is Ylang Ylang " he said pointing to a box that had a strong yet gentle fruity scent with a tinge of rubber " and this is called sea breeze, if your good lady likes to take a walk near a lake or pond, she might like this one " he added pointing to the cream perfumes with a fresh fragrance " these are our shops most expensive perfumes they cost a total of six taels but they are not easy to make and do what they claim to do. Only a small dab is enough to calm down one's nerves and soothe their emotions, of course, if sir don't want to go for these expensive ones, you can check out? these one" Lin pointed to the wooden boxes that were completely different from the exquisite ones but still had a simple and classy touch to them " these are simple scents that are mixed to create a single subtle yet lasting scents, they are normal day to day cream perfumes but their ingredients include lemon, flowers like lavender and jasmine .. these can help your good lady too "

Huo Ci pursed his lips and took the cream perfume that Lin Chen introduced to him, he carefully dabbed each cream perfume on his wrist before rubbing it. He tested each scent conscientiously, he rubbed and wiped, rubbed and wiped? - to make sure that he could smell each scent carefully, to his surprise he realised that Lin Chen was indeed right. Every single cream perfume had a unique scent to it yet all of them somehow calmed him down, his heavy heart that was stuffy and anxious also eased a little.

Shocked, Huo Ci took another whiff to make sure he wasn't wrong but the more he smelled the more sleepy he felt, in the end, he had to shake his head like a wet dog to keep himself awake.

" I will take all of these " Huo Ci didn't even blink before casually throwing thirty taels on the counter " pack these for me "

" Sure " Lin Chen grinned before wrapping the cream perfumes Huo Ci bought in a cloth package before handing it to the latter. Once Huo Ci was gone, Lin Chen grabbed the thirty taels and his eyes shone - this was the first time he earned so much money, he couldn't wait to show these to Su Wan!

With that, he hurriedly dealt with others customers with even more enthusiasm.

On the other hand, Su Wan had already finished telling Yu Meng, her plan.

" You mean to say, you want me to help you open a shop in the capital? And you will give me a fifty per cent share of its earning ?" Yu Meng asked as she casually sipped on the tea Su Wan served her " why would you want to do that? Why will you trust a stranger instead of someone you know ?"

Yu Meng couldn't understand what was going on with Su Wan's mind anymore. She couldn't understand why a smart girl would want to do something so stupid?

" Like my husband already figured it out Young lady knows a good deal about fragrances and with young lady's help, I'm certain that my shop could reach to a new and untouchable stage " Su Wan calmly stated as she poured some tea for herself " no one in my family knows about fragrances, therefore I look forward to working with an expert. I might be good at experimenting but I don't know what the young misses of capital and town like, This time I was lucky but who knows what might happen in the future "

This was what Su Wan was worried about, she wasn't apt in the art of scents and aroma. Though the scents she made somehow were able to attract the attention of young ladies of the town she wasn't confident about selling the perfumes in the capital and even if she was able to sell them now, she still needed to have a proper grasp about what kind of scents and products were popular in the capital.

Because if she wanted to become a successful businesswoman in this era she needed someone who had a proper grasp of the likes and dislikes of the women in the capital because only after having proper knowledge will she be able to create products that might suit the women of the capital.

Her background didn't allow her to do so and even if she was to ask for help from her uncles who were in the capital - what will three grown-up men know about young girls preferences?

Only a young girl would be able to tell her what the girls in the capital preferred and that's not all, she wanted someone who could help her and guide her further in this situation - after all, she was a chef, not a cosmetic expert, she knew her limits! So now that the opportunity has come on its own to her door, she wouldn't let go of it!

" I will think about it " Yu Meng pursed her lips, though she was allured by Su Wan's offer she still wanted to think about the pros and cons by herself before coming to a decision.

" Alright, the young lady can think about it but do make sure to conclude because I will be here for a day after that I will leave this shop completely in hands of my husband " Su Wan didn't force Yu Meng either but she clearly stated that her offer was valid for a limited time.

As she expected Yu Meng understood her meaning and nodded.

" I understand, I will tell you my answer by evening and if I find this opportunity fit for my efforts I will send a contract with Hong Xui, " said Yu Meng before taking her to leave.

Su Wan saw her off before heaving a sigh of relief, really working in a different field wasn't easy there were so many factors for her to worry about.

She took a look at the bustling shop and walked inside her ' office ' she still needed to finish off some work.

Su Wan walked inside her office and sat down, though she conversed with Yu Meng was neither overbearing nor humble, she still hoped that Yu Meng agreed to her offer. Not only because she was afraid of losing such a good opportunity, but she was also worried that there might come a time in future where her business would come to a bottleneck because of her limited knowledge in perfumes. She rubbed her eyes and then decided to purchase some books on aromas and fragrances, even if Yu Meng refused, she still have to continue experimenting.

She pushed her tired body to sit up straight and leaned forward to take a document that was lying on top of her table when suddenly she felt something scorching hot trailing up her skirt - stunned Su Wan pushed her chair back to take a good look under her table. And to her complete non-surprise, she found her ' dear ' ( naughty ) husband crouching under her table.
