Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Qing didn’t want to give up. She tried a few times, but she failed every time. In the end, she had no choice but to put on makeup for the three children. Only then did they leave together.

Xun Fen and Teng Nian were dressed as old women and men. Then, the family of six appeared on the bustling streets of the capital.

When Teng Nian saw her attire, she immediately felt like crying. Why was she an old woman while Xun Fen was a handsome young man?! It was too unfair!

Little Black stood on Xue’er’s shoulder indignantly. It bared its teeth with disdain for its disguise. It was a fire fox. How could it be of the same breed as a wild fox?! It belonged to a superior species.

Xu Qing was also very dejected. She had always wanted to be free and unrestrained. Unexpectedly, she didn’t get her freedom. Instead, she had a few children following her around!

However, even so, Xu Qing could only bring them along. After all, these people were her family.

Xu Qing walked on the bustling road and headed straight to the black market. She heard that during this period of time, many businessmen from other countries had come to the capital. They brought their own specialties, so Xu Qing wanted to see if there were any new things! Moreover, understanding other countries as soon as possible was useful for business.

As Xu Qing stood in front of a lively market, her eyes lit up. There were really many good things! Of course, there were also strange things she had never seen before.

Xu Qing was very excited since she loved shopping the most. However, she suddenly thought of her current identity. She was disguised as a poor person.

Forget it, she would take a look first. At most, she would ask Qiao Yi and Qiao Er to buy it for her!

As she spoke, Xu Qing started to look at them one by one. Then, she thought of the benefits they could bring! After all, she was a businesswoman.

Those vendors saw that Xu Qing was only looking and not buying, so they were no longer enthusiastic. After all, it had not been easy for them to come here and they had sacrificed quite a lot.

This time, many merchant groups set off with envoys. The country even paid half of the toll. How could the peddlers, who had been waiting for this opportunity, let go of this opportunity to earn money?!

Originally, those vendors were a little unhappy that Xu Qing only looked at the things and didn’t buy them. However, after a while, two men bought all the things Xu Qing had touched. They were naturally very happy and thought that it was the fortune Xu Qing had brought.

“This is…” Xu Qing picked up a pocket watch and pretended not to recognize it.

“Madam, you have good taste. This is a high-end product from overseas. It’s something that can’t be bought with money!” The vendor hurriedly praised.

“How much is this thing?” Xu Qing asked calmly. Even if she was very rich, she didn’t want to be swindled by a merchant.

When the vendor heard that Xu Qing wanted to buy it, the smile on his face widened. He was very happy. “I’ll give you a discount price. I’ll only charge you fifty pieces of gold!”

The currency circulating on the black market was entirely gold, because gold could be used anywhere.

“Fifty pieces of gold? You might as well rob it! The workmanship of the palm-sized pocket watch is average. Do you really think I don’t know my stuff?!” Xu Qing was instantly enraged. She threw it at the peddler and turned to leave.

The peddler hurriedly caught the pocket watch and said anxiously, “Madam, don’t leave. It’s easy to negotiate. This is the black market! How about this? I’ll charge you twenty pieces of gold! Is it cheap enough?”

“Miss, no… Daughter-in-law, this thing looks like a shabby piece of stone, but it costs twenty pieces of gold. Don’t buy it. Although the relative we’re looking for is rich, he won’t give us so much gold to buy these useless things!” Teng Nian hurriedly said with a meaningful expression.

Indeed, how was it worth it to use 20 gold coins to buy something that looked good but wasn’t edible?

The peddler was anxious. Seeing that the other party’s family member was stopping her, he immediately said, “Madam, I’ll charge you ten gold coins! It really can’t be any cheaper! It’s a long journey for me to come and go, so I’ll have to earn back some travel expenses.”

Of course, he didn’t buy these things himself. However, he definitely couldn’t say it out loud. No matter what, he had to earn some money on the black market. Otherwise, wouldn’t his trip be in vain?
