The envoys from Ling Empire and Qi Empire, who were unaware of the situation, thought that the head of the Ming family had gone mad.
10,000 taels for a catty of wine? Was he rich or just out of his mind?
Even if the wine was truly exceptional, it wouldn’t sell for such an exorbitant price.
An envoy from Qi Empire couldn’t help but speak up, “What kind of wine could possibly be so expensive?”
“Isn’t this just a money-making scheme? Isn’t it too much, even for a prince and princess of a country?” a minister from Qi Empire frowned and said, displeased.
Even if they were trying to make money, they wouldn’t demand such an astronomical price.
However, those who understood the health benefits of Wang Jinhe’s health-preserving fruits and the efficacy of her wines didn’t share the same sentiment.
“You are just ignorant. Something that can nourish the body without the need for medicine, with a daily intake of fruits and a small cup of wine, even if it costs a lot, so what? Are we supposed to care about your opinion?”
“Exactly, if you haven’t experienced the benefits firsthand, you naturally wouldn’t understand,” someone chimed in.
Qi Ming frowned as he looked at Su Yu. Could the wines in his possession really nourish the body? Did they also have detoxifying effects? But he had offended Su Yu just a few days ago, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to approach him now. If he were to seek Su Yu out, he doubted he would receive a warm reception.
It seemed that even if he wanted to acquire the wines from Su Yu and his wife, he would have to proceed gradually.
After all, he would be staying there for a while, and he wasn’t worried about not being able to win Su Yu over. After all, the former Su Yu was so easy to please, and he should be the same now.
With that in mind, Qi Ming felt no urgency. He wanted to see just how much Su Yu knew.
These past few days, he had been pondering what had caused Su Yu to become so indifferent towards him, to the point where he didn’t even want to see him. It wasn’t until he learned that Yang Shanshan and her husband had been sent to prison by Su Yu’s own hands that he understood. Perhaps Su Yu had already realized that Yang Shanshan’s treatment of him was due to him.
No wonder he had been treated so coldly by Su Yu when he went to see him this time. However, he didn’t regret the incident. The only thing he regretted was not acting against Su Yu sooner. If he had acted earlier, would he still be standing unscathed now? Perhaps he had been too indulgent, to the point where he didn’t even know his own name.
Wang Jinhe noticed a pair of eyes that had been staring in their direction, filled with malice. When she looked up, she saw Qi Ming looking at Su Yu with a strange expression, as if he wanted to tear Su Yu apart.
If Wang Jinhe could notice it, how could Su Yu not? He turned his head to look at Qi Ming indifferently, and with just one glance, he averted his gaze and didn’t bother to engage further.
He was considering whether to have those lunatics come to the capital for a visit.
“What are you thinking about?” Wang Jinhe asked Su Yu curiously.
Su Yu spoke softly, “I’m thinking about whether we should release those lunatics from Forget Sorrow City.”
“Lunatics?” Wang Jinhe raised an eyebrow.
Su Yu nodded with a smile, “A few influential and powerful individuals who are also a bit crazy. They wouldn’t have any problem dealing with Qi Ming.”
“Wouldn’t he dare to say anything even if he got beaten up?” Wang Jinhe’s eyes lit up as she asked eagerly.
Su Yu chuckled at Wang Jinhe’s question, “Do you really want to see him get a beating?”
Wang Jinhe nodded repeatedly, “Of course.”
“In that case, I’ll write a letter to Boss Chen and have those guys come over to see me,” Su Yu said. If his wife wanted to see it, he would naturally fulfill her request.
“Will it not bring you trouble?” Wang Jinhe asked with a concerned frown.
Although she wanted to see some excitement, she couldn’t afford to bring trouble to Su Yu. What if he couldn’t control those people once they arrived?
“It won’t bring trouble. At most, we’ll just have a few more people in our household,” Su Yu said nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders.
Wang Jinhe twitched her mouth as she looked at Su Yu. Having a few more people in the household wasn’t a big problem, as long as Su Yu could keep them under control.
“Why do they listen to you?” Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but ask.
Su Yu hesitated for a moment before saying, “Because they can’t beat me?”
When he was in Forget Sorrow City, he fought with those lunatics every day. During the fights, it was as intense as avenging his father’s death, but when they weren’t fighting, they were friends who could drink together.
Wang Jinhe was a bit puzzled, but she understood Su Yu’s meaning. It seemed that he had to fight to get to know these people.
“Did you also get to know Yin Fan and the others through fighting?” she asked.
“Yeah, over there, it was either fighting or fighting every day. In our free time, we would go drinking together,” Su Yu said. It was the only way he could keep himself from thinking about his wife and children.
Thinking about Wang Jinhe and their son made Su Yu want to go home.
“They were the ones who accompanied me during that time, making me miss you a little less. But I still miss you a lot when it’s quiet at night,” Su Yu said, thinking of Wang Jinhe and their son. Whenever he missed them, he would read the letters they had sent over and over again.
“I’m grateful to uncle because he helped me control myself and prevented any backlash,” Su Yu added.
Seeing Su Yu like this, Wang Jinhe reached out and gently touched his face, feeling a sudden pang of heartache for him.
“Now that you’re back, everything will be fine,” Wang Jinhe said earnestly.
Su Yu paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile. “You’re right.”
“They are actually quite simple. Good food and good drinks are all they need,” Su Yu said. They were really easy to take care of. Well, they just had high standards when it came to food and drinks, and they wouldn’t settle for anything less.
“We have plenty of good food and drinks at home,” Wang Jinhe said, waving her hand nonchalantly. Even if more people came, their household could accommodate them.
“True, I’m just afraid that Boss Chen will move Forget Sorrow City to our place in the future,” Su Yu said, feeling a headache coming on at the thought.
Wang Jinhe rubbed her chin and said, “It’s not entirely impossible.”
Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe with a twitch of his mouth and playfully tapped her head, “What nonsense are you talking about again?”
“I’m not talking nonsense. But this isn’t the place to discuss it. We can talk about it when we get back. Although we can’t have everyone come over, we can still have them visit in batches each year for some relaxation and fun,” Wang Jinhe said. She could tell that Su Yu had managed quite well during his time in Forget Sorrow City and had made many like-minded friends there.
She had heard Su Yu talk about that place before, known as the City of Sin. She figured that the people there must be tired of it as well.
“Staying in a place like that for too long can drive a person crazy. We have the means, so if the people from Forget Sorrow City can’t all come over, we can have them visit in groups each year for some relaxation and use our fruits and vegetables to help them nourish their bodies,” Wang Jinhe said.
Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe in surprise, not expecting her to suggest such a thing.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked, suspecting that something was amiss.
“Nothing, I’m just curious why you would think of this,” Su Yu said.
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu in bewilderment. “Aren’t they your friends?”
