Chapter 164: You

~5 min read 900 words

"Husband, what could be on your head?"

Lady Li looked at Gao Feng with an inexplicable expression on her dignified and noble face.

As soon as Gao Feng spoke, he realized something was wrong.

These words were not meant to be said.

He gave a sheepish smile, "Madam, I was just asking casually, thinking there might be some dirt on my head. Since there isn't, that's for the best."

Fortunately, Lady Li didn't understand what he meant; otherwise, his life would be over.

Gao Feng suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart; that was close. In the future, he must reflect on himself three times a day and be careful that trouble doesn't come from his mouth.

But his peripheral vision swept over and suddenly saw the corners of Gao Yang's mouth slowly curling up.

His expression changed, and his heart felt as if it had suddenly skipped a beat.

Oh no!

This unfilial beast!

"Mother, your son understands what Father means."

"Father thinks that your son has suddenly become a late bloomer, has been reused by His Majesty, and now has even made scented soap and come up with such vicious business methods."

"So he suddenly had the thought of whether your son is his biological child, and couldn't help but blurt out the question to Mother."

Once these words fell.

Lady Li's face suddenly sank.

Gao Feng was dumbfounded, sweat seeping from his forehead.

"You unfilial son, you…"

Gao Feng pointed at Gao Yang, trembling all over, his face full of disbelief.

"Good for you, Gao Feng, I was wondering why you suddenly asked that; so that's what you meant."

"I've been with you for twenty years and bore you two children, and you actually think of me like this!"

Lady Li gritted her teeth, her phoenix eyes staring at Gao Feng.

"Madam, listen to my explanation; this unfilial son is spouting nonsense."

Gao Feng glared at Gao Yang, his composure completely lost.

This unfilial son was definitely doing it on purpose!

He was definitely afraid of getting beaten, so he deliberately diverted the trouble.

Truly vicious!

"Husband, you and I have been husband and wife for twenty years; how could I not know what kind of person you are?"

"Whether Yang'er is spouting nonsense, you know in your heart."

Lady Li's voice was cold, and she glared at Gao Feng with hatred.

Gao Yang hurriedly said, "Mother, don't blame Father; if you want to blame someone, blame your son for being too mischievous earlier."

"What does that have to do with you, Yang'er? You are a late bloomer, and Mother is too happy to be upset. Mother is not like your heartless father."

"Tomorrow, Mother will invite the noble ladies of Changan to gather at the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. Rest assured, Mother will definitely promote your scented soap."

Gao Yang hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Mother."

"But if it's just you alone, even with hunger marketing, you won't be able to keep up with the work every day. Have you thought about how to do it?"

Lady Li asked, her eyes fixed on Gao Yang.

Gao Feng also gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Business is a minor path; don't let it delay your talent for governing the country and bringing peace to the nation."

"The soap formula is not difficult, and it's easy to make, but the process must be kept secret. To be safe, your son thinks it's better to leave it to Mother."

Lady Li nodded, "Mother will arrange this matter, rest assured."

"But some of the silver earned must be given to His Majesty. Likewise, we can also act in His Majesty's name."

As soon as these words fell, even Gao Feng's expression changed.

"You unfilial son, you're already doing business with His Majesty?"

Gao Feng was astonished; he hadn't expected Gao Yang to be so close to Wu Zhao.

Could his son really win over the Empress?

His eyes flickered.

He must find an opportunity to beat him first; otherwise, if he really wins over the Empress, even if he stands there and lets him beat him, he wouldn't dare.

A look of joy appeared on Lady Li's face, "If we can act in His Majesty's name, the nobles and aristocrats will definitely scramble for it."

"What percentage of the profit does His Majesty want?"

Lady Li pursued the question.

Gao Yang held up a gesture, making a seven, "His Majesty originally wanted a fifty-fifty split, but how could your son split fifty-fifty with His Majesty? So it's seventy-thirty."

Lady Li nodded, "Seventy percent is not a small amount, but with His Majesty's support, our Dingguo Duke Prefecture will be the only one in the entire Changan, and even the entire Great Qian, so this profit is not small."

"Mother will go and arrange it tomorrow. Remember to send a bar of the finished soap into the palace."

Gao Yang hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Your son thanks Mother."

Lady Li nodded and turned to leave, not even looking at Gao Feng throughout the process.

"Madam!"

Gao Feng called out.

He hadn't beaten Gao Yang yet!

But Lady Li didn't stop at all.

"Father, your son will order someone to send this item to you later so you can have a taste."

"I think Father will definitely love it once you use it."

Gao Yang said respectfully. ===== CHAPTER 166 =====
