Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 128 Must Get Foreigners’ Money

Seeing Bai Xun stunned, Nanchun smiled and continued, "I'm not a fool. I'm back safely, and I've given you the book. Why are the head of the family and the eldest young master still so interested in my whereabouts?"

Isn't it obvious that he suspects I know the secrets in the book and is afraid that I will collude with someone in Jincheng? Could it be that the head of the family is also interested in the evil book? "

"Stop talking and eat well." Bai Xun said as he picked up a piece of pork ribs for Nanchun.

Nanchun sighed, "Don't change the subject. If I really knew the secrets in the book and wanted to collude with outsiders, I would have done it quickly the same day I arrived in Jincheng and then rushed to Yangcheng. Why would I stay in Jincheng for so long, leaving so many handles for you to use to arouse your suspicion? Why would I stay in Jincheng for so long, leaving so many handles for you to use to arouse your suspicion for no reason?"

Bai Xun said softly, "I know, I believe you. Let them investigate. If they investigate thoroughly and dispel their doubts, it will be good for you."

Nanchun bit into a piece of pork chop fiercely and said, "The head steward told me how dangerous the book was and that I absolutely must not get involved with Boss Zhen and the demonic book. And yet... you, the Bai family, are so interested in the demonic book... So what is hidden in that book? A beautiful woman? A golden house? Or the elixir of immortality?"

Bai Xun placed the soup in front of him and said with a smile, "No matter what is hidden, it is not a good thing. It is better not to know."

Nanchun said unhappily, "You've read the book anyway, and I've already handed it over. Read it and figure it out for yourselves! I don't see anything strange about it. Suspect me if you want. I've been accused of so many crimes, one or two wouldn't make a difference."

Seeing that he was furious, Bai Xun reached out and wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth: "Blame me for bringing this up. You couldn't even enjoy your meal and were just angry."

"Who said that? I'm eating so deliciously! I want another plate of this sweet and sour pork ribs! What's the most expensive dish in the restaurant? I'm going to make the young master go broke eating this evening!"

When coming out of Yuqingzhai, Nanchun touched her bulging belly with a smile.

The two walked through the busy streets, and Bai Xun and Nan Chun stopped in front of a suit shop.

A delicate brass signboard, inscribed with a string of foreign characters and flanked by vintage wall lamps, greets visitors as they enter the shop, where rows of neatly hung suits await.

On one side of the shop stands a mirror carved with exquisite patterns. Not far away are a few wicker chairs and a small round table with some magazines and newspapers on them, as well as a beautiful glass vase with flowers emitting a fragrant aroma.

"Second Young Master Bai, long time no see." A middle-aged foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a white shirt, a black suit vest, and gold-rimmed glasses on his nose walked over.

His accent was a little strange, but his pronunciation was clear enough.

"Peter, long time no see." Bai Xun said.

"Who is this?" He looked at Nanchun with his blue eyes, a hint of inquiry.

"My love, Nanchun." Bai Xun introduced.

"My love?" Peter opened his eyes wide, then smiled and reached out to shake hands with Nanchun. "Hello, I'm Peter."

"Hello...Bi De?" Nan Chun smiled awkwardly.

Why does this guy have the same name as Baiyuan’s dog?

"Make him two suits." Bai Xun said to Peter.

"Okay, he will look as cute and charming as the little prince in the fairy tale in a suit." Peter adjusted his glasses on his nose and said with a smile.

Nanchun tugged at the corner of Boxun's clothes and said awkwardly, "Make me a suit? I'm not used to wearing that."

Bai Xun said softly, "Let's try it."

"Have you ever worn a suit?"

Nanchun had never seen Bai Xun wearing a suit, he always wore a long gown.

"Well, it's more convenient to wear a suit in some occasions here." Bai Xun explained.

"Let's choose the fabric and style first." Peter said, pointing to the sample clothes in his hand, "How about this new style? Mr. Nan has a tall and well-proportioned figure, and this will show off his figure even more."

Seeing Peter and Bai Xun looking at him, Nanchun nodded quickly: "Okay, all right!"

Bai Xun smiled and said, "Peter, you take care of the arrangements. We trust your vision."

Nanchun blinked at Baixun gratefully, as if he was saved. This scene made him feel uncomfortable all over.

"Mr. Nan, don't worry, the clothes I make will look beautiful and elegant on you!" Peter took out a tape measure to measure Nan Chun's size.

How to use words?

Cute? Beautiful?

Nanchun stared at Peter. He had very fair skin, a straight and tall nose, and glowing blue eyes. He looked very strange.

"Is this your first time seeing a foreigner?" Peter said with a smile, seeing his curiosity.

Nanchun looked away embarrassedly.

"Second Young Master Bai, I wonder if the eldest young master is in Yangcheng? I called but couldn't find him. I went to Bai's Trading Company to look for him several times, but still couldn't see him. If he keeps disappearing like this, my batch of fabrics will be late, and my distinguished guests will be angry." Peter said embarrassedly.

"My brother has returned to Yangcheng. You can go to the trading company to find him." Bai Xun said.

"Great, he's finally back!" Peter was overjoyed.

After leaving the clothing store, Nanchun leaned over to Bai Xun and whispered, "Why does that foreign tailor have the same name as Baiyuan's big wolfhound? They're both called Bi De. Are these weird names popular in Yangcheng now?"

Bai Xun was slightly startled, then suddenly laughed: "His name is Peter, a foreign name. It sounds a bit like Bi De, but the meaning is different. Bai Yuan's Chow Chow is named Dollar, also a foreign name, meaning foreign money."

Nanchun looked at him in surprise: "So the names of those two dogs together mean they will definitely earn foreigners money?"

Bai Xun nodded.

"The eldest young master is truly a money-grubber... He's not satisfied with earning gold bars, he's also eyeing foreign money." Nanchun's eyes rolled. "No wonder Dali said the Bai family is now closely relying on foreigners for supplies and making money from them. He said it's easier to make money from foreigners. Is that true?"

Bai Xun said, "No one's money is easy to earn. It's just that things are valuable because they are rare. The Bai family has rare and popular things that foreigners like, so if we increase the price a little, they will accept it."

"Those imitations?" Nanchun asked tentatively.

Bai Xun nodded. "Those things are works of art to them. Once they reach their own country, their prices will multiply several times."

How many times?

That's really good money.

It is because it is so easy to make money that the Bai family takes risks and wants to make more.

"By the way, Ah Fu said that the lights at Bai's Trading Company are beautiful. Can you take me there to see them in the evening?" Nan Chun said with a smile.

"it is good."

Although the Fourth Master warned him not to act rashly, the head of the family became suspicious of him and might soon capture him and take him back to Baijiazhai.

We can't just sit there and wait for death, we have to take the initiative.
