Hu Huanxi said: "Why bother about other people's opinions? Just live your own life."
Sun Fang'er was a little touched. In order to hide her emotions, she lowered her head and drank half a glass of wine.
She couldn't even drink freely. Was this kind of life her own? She had never lived her own life.
Hu Huanxi sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk too much. I'll toast you a glass and congratulate you on becoming the Princess of Nan Huai soon."
After that, she poured wine for Sun Fang'er and filled her own glass, raising her glass, "I wish you a happy marriage and a long life together."
Sun Fang'er looked at her with a complicated expression, holding the cup but hesitant to raise it.
Hu Huanxi put down his wine glass. "You think I am not qualified to bless you, right? That's right. How can you royal nobles look down on us businessmen who are full of money? I am meddling."
After saying that, she finished her drink, put down her glass and was about to stand up.
Sun Fang'er suddenly said: "That's not what I meant!"
She raised her cup, drank it quickly, and mumbled, "Just take it as a thank you for sitting with me for a while."
She drank the wine, but not because she wanted to become a princess.
Hu Huanxi patted the back of her hand gently and said, "Life is like that. Don't make it hard on yourself. I'm leaving now. If you want to have a drink with someone, feel free to find me. We won't talk about politics or the hostility between us. You are Sun Fang'er and I am Hu Huanxi. That's all!"
After saying that, she got up and left.
Sun Fang'er looked at her back, reached out and gently touched the place she had touched. She felt a warm feeling, which was particularly comfortable, as if it could dispel the coldness in her heart.
On New Year's Eve, Hu Huanxi visited each household with gifts, busy non-stop. When he came to the Regent Princess, he also asked someone to bring a gift to Sun Fanger, which was a piece of silk and a bracelet.
"Give her a gift?" Zi'an looked at Hu Huanxi, "It doesn't seem like your character as a businessman."
Hu Huanxi shrugged, "Someone has to get close to her, otherwise, are you sure you can get the antidote for the Tong Ming Gu?"
"Be careful." Zi'an warned.
"Don't worry, I will be careful. She is actually quite pitiful, but there must be something hateful about pitiful people."
Zi'an said: "She shouldn't have attacked Madam Sun. After all, Madam Sun truly loves her."
"Well, Rouyao still can't forgive her." Hu Huanxi stood up. "If she can leave Prince Nan Huai and stop helping her, I can give her some money and let her live in peace. It depends on what she wants. If she wants the position of queen, then I can't do anything about it."
Zi'an said gratefully, "Thank you, Huanxi."
"You're welcome. We're just using each other." Hu Huanxi said with a smile.
Zi'an naturally knew that they were not just using each other. They were all from the same hometown and wanted the other person to live a good life.
But I still have to warn her, "She knows witchcraft and has a solitary personality, so you should be careful when dealing with her."
"I have dealt with many loners in my past life and in this life. There is no normal person among them." Hu Huanxi was confident.
"What do you think of Sun Fang'er?" When Zi'an heard her say this, he knew that she had gotten to know Sun Fang'er privately. Indeed, Sun Fang'er was a key figure. If she did not stand on the side of King Nan Huai, King Nan Huai would be just a tiger with teeth but no idea how to bite the enemy.
Hu Huanxi said, "She is vicious, that's for sure, otherwise she wouldn't have killed her master and harmed her biological mother and stepmother. If you offend her, she will fight you to the end at all costs. Moreover, she is a very tolerant person. In fact, Prince Nan Huai treats her very badly, but for her own purpose, she can endure all the insults from Prince Nan Huai. Zi'an, you and I both know that it is a terrible thing for a capable person to endure it. However, everyone has weaknesses. As long as you grasp her weaknesses, you can break through her strong defenses."
"Then what do you think her weakness is?" Zi'an asked. In fact, she had never studied Sun Fang'er. She was different from Hu Huanxi. Hu Huanxi used to be the chairman of the board, and she was a military doctor. What she studied most was medical skills, but Hu Huanxi liked to study people.
Hu Huanxi analyzed: "I have secretly observed her. She likes to go to crowded places, but never approaches people. She just watches them having fun. Occasionally, I can see admiration and jealousy in her eyes. This is a very deep thought that most people cannot see, but it cannot escape my sharp eyes. She is very lonely and longs to interact with people and have friends."
"So, you want to be her friend? Huanxi, this person is very scheming and cruel. You'd better not go. If she knows that you deceived her, she will kill you." Zi'an said.
Hu Huanxi smiled slyly, "Scheming? I'm more scheming than her. Old Xia, don't worry about me. I'm not deceiving her. Before she had no hostility towards me, I was sincerely befriending her. For businessmen like us, it's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy."
Zi'an smiled, "Yeah, who would dare to play tricks on you, Mr. Hu?"
Qingning Pavilion.
"Miss Sun!" The maid Xiaohong knocked on Sun Fang'er's door.
"Come in!" Sun Fanger's usual cold voice came from inside.
Xiaohong pushed the door open and walked in, holding brocade and a brocade box in her hands, "Miss Sun, this is a gift from the shopkeeper of the Hu family, he said it's for you."
Sun Fang'er was startled. "For me?"
"Yes, I was at the door when she came in. When she saw me, she privately pulled me aside and gave me the things, and then she went to find the princess." Xiaohong said.
Sun Fang'er said calmly: "Take it back and give it to her, I don't want it."
Xiaohong said: "Yes!"
After saying that, she turned and left.
Sun Fang'er stopped her and said, "Let me see what's in the box."
Xiao Hong turned around, put the things on the table, picked up the small brocade box and handed it to her, "I saw that she was holding two identical ones in her hands. She should have given them to the princess as well. Maybe they are small gold medals. These merchants like to give gold as gifts."
Sun Fang'er was a little surprised, "She also gave these to Xia Zian?"
"The brocade is the same, both are Shu brocade, but the colors are different. Yours is plain with cloud patterns and dark flowers. As for the one for the princess, it is crimson with peonies embroidered on it. As for the brocade box, I didn't see what the princess's brocade box was."
Sun Fang'er thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. You can leave the things here and get out now."
Xiaohong was a little surprised to see her suddenly change her mind, but, as she was always eccentric, she didn't ask and just turned around and left.
Sun Fanger opened the brocade box, and inside lay a piece of crystal clear white jade. The white jade was carved into the shape of Guanyin, with round and gentle lines, kind eyes and benevolent features, which made people happy at the first sight.
Sun Fang'er reached out and stroked the white jade, with a strange look on her face. She then reached out and touched the brocade. The brocade was smooth and cool, but had an excellent feel. It was top-quality material.
"You approached me only for Xia Zian. I don't believe you." Sun Fang'er said coldly.
However, having said this, he hung the white jade Guanyin around his neck.
