Chapter 702: Hybrid
Chapter 702: Hybrid
Early in the morning, Fei Qinfan hummed a jolly tune as he took a stroll through the back garden that was in full bloom behind the Lin house, he has heard all about the business that the third brother of Lin Rui did in the town and was highly impressed by all the new scents that he came up with if he wasn\'t wrong the general\'s daughter miss Yu also opened a shop of scented oils and aroma therapy in the capital and its business has been blooming.At first, he thought that Lin Rui\'s third brother was the one who copied the idea of Miss Yu but later he found out that Miss Yu was actually running a subsidy shoo for the Lin family! How great it was? For a small family from a small village have the general daughter run a shop for them in the capital.
He turned to look at all the flowers that were blocking despite the hot weather and sighed in great contentment, " This is what I call life, nothing but peace… when I stay at the palace I have to worry about being schemed by this Concubine and that, now that I am here, I can finally take a breather without worrying about anything."
Number one was responsible for guarding the third prince, seeing him act so brazenly, he couldn\'t help but sigh as he said, " Master, you should still return to the palace, I believe you have already taught enough of a lesson to the crown prince… if you return now then his highness will surely apologise to you."
" Of course, he will apologise to me but he will do that only to appease mother Empress," sneered Fei Qinfan, he already had a very good grasp of his brother\'s character. " But after Mother Empress leaves he will go back to his old ways and blame me for everything that I do, why should I go back and listen to his nagging? Isn\'t it better for me to stay here and have fun? And…" he dragged long enough to make Number one hop in anxiety. " I am thinking of getting to know Mrs Lin better."
Number one: "…." Oh my heart, my heart! Third prince, please appease that heavy taste of yours, you can\'t go after a married woman!
" What are you looking at me for like that?" said Fei Qinfan with a snort as he slapped his moon fan on the forehead of his bodyguard. " I am not saying it in the context that you are thinking, I just think that she is a rather sharp woman and intelligent as well, if I get along with her and help her along the way then I might be able to gobble some benefits for myself."
" Master you mean——" Number one\'s eyes widened as he looked at Fei Qinfan in shock.
" That\'s right, I think I will become business partners with Mrs Lin just like Miss Yu, you have no idea when she was just the young lady of the Yu family, her fame wasn\'t as top-notch as it is now, it was only when she opened the aroma therapy shop did her fame rose to where it is now," Fei Qinfan tapped his chin with his moon fan. " She is now one of the most wanted ladies of the Empire whom every young master wants to marry given that she has such a wide range of contacts after opening that shop… it\'s now the perfect spot to share and exchange information, how do you think the house of the General was able to rise so much in a couple of months, it\'s because of that woman."
He pointed at Su Wan who was sitting on a chair in front of an overly large flower pot, they could see that she was pruning and cleaning a plant that was neither blooming nor growing but yet she was still taking care of it with great attention.
Fei Qinfan snapped his fingers and said to number one, " I am going to get her to my side such that we will be able to get hold of as much as benefits as we can, if I do that then no one in the court would dare to look down at me by calling me good for nothing."
As he spoke he walked over to where Su Wan was sitting leaving number one to sigh in distress. " But third prince you really think that she will agree with your suggestion just like that?"
Fei Qinfan heard him but didn\'t say anything instead he walked to where Su Wan was and sat next to her on the ground forgoing his pride as the prince and greeted her, " Good morning, Mrs Lin you are up early?"
Su Wan turned her head and nodded her head as she pointed to the shrub she was pruning and said, " I have to take care of it every morning and evening, if I don\'t then I am afraid that it will wilt like the others."
Only then Fei Qinfan looked at the series of plants that were dried up behind the big shrub that Su Wan was taking care of and blinked his eyes. " What kind of plant is this? How can it be so delicate, is it a chrysanthemum?"
As far as he knew only chrysanthemums and orchids were really popular in the capital at the moment.
Su Wan shook her head as she placed the special shears she has asked the blacksmith to make and then turned to look at Fei Qinfan with a smile. " If I tell you would you promise to keep it a secret?"
" Of course, you can trust me on this," said Fei Qinfan with a sharp pat on his chest as he looked at the shrub that was growing in the pot. " I will not breathe a word about this to the outside world."
Su Wan smiled at him, she didn\'t have any doubts when it came to this young master, even though he was a bit rough around the edges, she was sure that he would not do something like leak her secret so she leaned into his ear and whispered, " Its a hybrid."
