I hope your wife is satisfied with it.\" Lin Xuan Qi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this young master Lin that I’ve heard so much about?\" A woman’s voice came from behind Sima Long, before Sima Long could say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She got to the front of Sima Long and bowed to Lin Xuan Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, let me introduce her to you.

Do you have more of it?\" Zhang Jie lifted her hand, brought it to her nose, took a whiff of it, and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m glad to hear that.\" Lin Xuan Qi gave her a smile, gestured at the other bar of soap that was on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I only have a few, and it might not be enough to share it with your sisters and friends.\" He said with a sorry look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best way to trigger these young mistresses was to make them compare among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t shy to give such a hint to Zhang Jie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young master Lin is kind, just like what my husband had said about you.\" Zhang Jie covered her mouth with her sleeve, and she gave out a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young master Sima Long is just flattering me.\" Lin Xuan Qi said, and he tried to pass some of the soap he had to Zhang Jie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jie pretended to refuse but took the bar of soap from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you so much for your gift. I shall not intrude on your meeting.\" She glanced over at Sima Long and said, \"Spend more time with young master Lin here, rather than wasting it in the brothels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Long slapped the back of his head and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jie bowed again at Lin Xuan Qi and left the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s sit and discuss.\" Sima Long said, and everyone took their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m more than impressed with what the soap can do. But I must be frank with you...\" Sima Long gave out a long sigh, looked at Lin Xuan Qi and said, \"If you haven’t noticed, my branch of the Sima family isn’t really in favor with the family head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is only so much I can do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi frowned when he heard Sima Long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hunch earlier was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t knowledgeable about these internal struggles in the clan, but he knew that he might be able to help Sima Long if their venture was successful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when it was successful enough, there would be no reason for the Sima family’s head to go against it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1061,"2026-06-03T13:58:56.970Z",1,"novelbin.me","0e4641ec651e05e836c4c7b4c57974d9fa18e37ae0a9a35cf4fd79fbccf82d10","clan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-chapter-57","clan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-chapter-441",469,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fclan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-cover.jpg"]
