She Only Cares About Cultivation

Chapter 1368: Chapter 989: Poison Doctor Unrivaled 50 (five thousand)_3

Actually, Jiang Xue didn’t really feel cold anywhere. She spent very little time outside every day, mostly tending her ten plots of land in the eternally spring-like space, always busy with one thing or another, so she didn’t feel cold at all.

Winter is nice, everyone hibernates during winter, so it’s not odd for her not to go out. Her peculiar habits have unwittingly become the accepted norm at the Princess Mansion.

All the people who came with her when the mansion was established were personally selected by Murong Han. Regardless of whether they are eunuchs, guards, or palace maids, they all have disciplined mouths. Everyone knows "fools die from talking too much," so even the officials in Liuyang know that the Princess doesn’t like visitors, having come several times only to find her absent.

"I’m not going anywhere. Look at the face cream, soap, perfume, and lipstick I’ve concocted. I’ve tested them, and they’re much gentler and more delicate than those on the market, and especially moisturizing and purifying. Go wash your face, let me give you a facial treatment, try out these new products of mine and see if I can produce them on a large scale."

Shui Yixuan looked at her in surprise, "You’ve been fussing over these things all this time?"

"Yes, I have to find a way out for myself. Most of the business is taken by your Shui Clan, even on my own fief, your Shui Clan’s brand shines blindingly bright," frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Shui Yixuan frowned, "I can afford to support you, and you have tax revenues from your fief, there’s no need to fuss over these things."

"No, I must fuss over them. In the future, I want Liuyang to be renowned throughout the Four Countries. I won’t rely on you; I will rely on myself. I don’t want to become your appendage. You can be my safe harbor, but not a stumbling block on my path to growth. I don’t want to be a canary in a cage, nor do I want to be kept. I want independence, where we’re a couple together, and individually strong apart. Do you understand what I mean?"

To Shui Yixuan, it’s only natural for men to support women, and women, in their eyes, are for assisting their husbands and raising children. Although he knew from the start that this girl was very independent, he never expected her to be so strong. The feeling that she could grow without needing him was quite disheartening.

Therefore, hearing Jiang Xue speak like this, he couldn’t agree, "So, you’re saying you want to live apart from me?"

Jiang Xue raised an eyebrow, "People say I’m still young, didn’t you say you wanted to give me time to accept you? Having children too young isn’t good, so I’ll use these years to do what I want and need to do. I’ll have children for you after I’m twenty, alright?"

Shui Yixuan felt like he was shooting himself in the foot. Looking at her innocent big eyes, he suddenly wondered why this girl had to be so strong-willed? What’s wrong with relying on a man? Many envy the life of a pampered noblewoman; how did it become a warning and a bother in her case?

"I think, while newlyweds, it’s best to get along well. You don’t have to have children, but you can’t deprive us of our marital pleasures. You can do business, but follow me. You can go wherever you want with me, just not like now, where I’m in the Holy Dynasty, and you’re in Lanyue. It just doesn’t make sense, does it?"

Men take pride in having a beautiful woman and certainly want to show her off. Jiang Xue, having been a man in a past life, understood these underlying rules well.

She saw through it without saying so and didn’t intend to scare him before marriage, so she naturally cooperated and nodded.

"Of course, as the saying goes, ’the husband sings and the wife follows.’ Wherever you go, I’ll go. I also plan to spread my cosmetics business throughout the Four Countries, using the name I’ll establish in the future with the help of the Shui Clan’s promotion. I can quickly establish roots everywhere. Having a capable husband is really advantageous, don’t you think? Don’t worry, I’m a woman, in business, I’ll need your help. Especially in finding raw materials for those cosmetics, I’ll need your assistance."

Shui Yixuan sighed speechlessly, "If you want, I can hand over the entire cosmetics industry for you to manage. We have our own production line; you just need to add your own features to create an independent brand. The users and raw materials would still be from my lineage. There’s no need to redo the entire setup, which wastes manpower and resources. I think it’s unnecessary, what do you think?"
