Fu Mingye met Wen Renbai's gaze and even cast a sidelong glance at Si Chu, whose expression was inscrutable, yet he himself appeared quite nonchalant, even somewhat disdainful at Wen Renbai's fuss over a trifle.
He spoke unhurriedly, "Has anyone decreed that one cannot conduct business, make a bit of money?"
Wen Renbai's eyes widened in surprise, "Conduct business?"
Mingshu also looked at Fu Mingye with a face full of skepticism.
This man had gone to great lengths to infiltrate Great Qi, all for the sake of conducting business?
"What business?"
Showing a hint of his pearly white teeth towards Mingshu, Fu Mingye's eyes twinkled with mockery, "Noble Consort, your expression truly breaks my heart, I am but a law-abiding merchant."
Mingshu rolled her eyes and turned her head away.
