Chapter 822: I know the missing formula —-2

When Su Wan arrived at the small room that belonged to Fei Qinfan, she found that he was lying on his bed and sipping on the seaweed soup. Though it was a simple delicacy for Fei Qinfan who had never eaten seaweed before it was kind of a novel feeling which was why he often sneaked inside the kitchen with Chi Jian to brew the seaweed soup.

" Lord Fan," Su Wan called Fei Qinfan as she did not want to startle him but even then the man lying on the bed flinched causing the soup in the bowl to slosh. Su Wan looked at the startled-looking man and did not know what to say about him, was he truly a prince? How can his guts be so small? He was surrounded by so many guards how could anyone harm him?

Behind her, Chi Jian looked at Fei Qinfan with slight embarra.s.sment. The reason, the prince acted like this was because he knew that he was not supposed to sneak inside the kitchen and steal food, the last time he did it, Su Wan gave him a hearty lecture. It did not matter if you were a lord or a prince, if you stole food then you would be scolded.

Ever since then, Su Wan left a shadow in the heart of the prince, even though he was the one cooking the soup, he did not want to receive another lecture on how he should not be wasting food or stealing things as he was an adult.

However, Su Wan had something else on her mind which was why she did not pay attention to Fu Qinfan drinking the seaweed soup, she calmly strode inside the room and then sat next to Fu Qinfan"s bed causing the little prince to look at Su Wan with a wary look in his eyes as he asked, "What"s the matter? Why are you here, Madam Su or should I call you county magistrate?"

Su Wan sneered at him with a cold look in her eyes as she snapped, " Are you going to ask whether or not we should start acting according to the rules now? If so, should I bow in front of you every time I see you?"

Fei Qinfan was the prince and even if she did not know his ident.i.ty, he was in a position higher than her, if they started using the t.i.tle then they would have to start paying attention to the norms.

Fei Qinfan choked on air and coughed before  he waved his hand and then said, "It is all right, there…there is no need." He then placed the bowl of seaweed soup on the table before asking, " Why is madam here? Is there something that you want to say to me?"

" Would I have come here to watch you drink soup, if I did not?" Su Wan questioned with an eye roll, she took out the piece of gla.s.s that she received from the M city and then said, " I heard that this is the best piece of gla.s.s that could be bought in the M country?"

Fei Qinfan looked at the mirror on his bed that Su Wan had placed and nodded before replying, " This is indeed the best piece of gla.s.s." Everyone knew that the artisan who could make clear gla.s.s was killed, the others tried to follow suit but the artisan was wise till the end.

He did not leave behind any formula and the ingredients that he left behind were not complete because if they were then the artisans would have followed suit.

But with the incomplete ingredients they could only make this piece of gla.s.s but it was still better than the bronze mirror and thus many liked it.

Su Wan frowned as she looked at the murky gla.s.s and pursed her lips, so this thing was treated like a treasure by others as they did not know the complete formula.

" If I hand you the complete formula, are you willing to help me?" Su Wan asked, she did not want to act out of the context but if things did not go according to her will then she could only make the entire situation bend for her.

Hearing her words, Fei Qinfan was stunned. He looked at Su Wan and asked in a low voice, " Are you saying that you know the formula of mirror-making?"

Su Wan nodded as she said, " I do know the complete formula but I am afraid of trouble. I don"t want anyone to come and a.s.sa.s.sinate me for the sake of the formula do you understand, lord ?"

Of course,  Fei Qinfan understood Su Wan"s worries, the formula of a clear piece of gla.s.s was something that many were after, if it was known to the public that Su Wan was behind the formula then they would definitely try to hurt her.

He thought about it and then asked, " What do you want?" Even though he had already had a good idea why Su Wan came to see him, he still questioned her with a calm voice.

Su Wan was impressed upon seeing how Fei Qinfan was able to understand her reason without her saying anything. She smiled and nodded at him appreciatively before saying, " I want you to back my gla.s.s business as long as you are willing to do it, I will give you thirty per cent shares of the shop."

" Forty," Fei Qinfan did not refuse but increased the shares instead, he had seen Su Wan"s skills and knew that the business would do good. If that was the case then he had a chance to fill up his treasury.

Su Wan looked at him with furrowed brows, she thought about it and then said, " Thirty per cent take it or leave it."

"Fifty!" Seeing that he was able to increase his shares by five per cent, Fei Qinfan grew bolder thinking that Su Wan was under his grasp for the first time but he seemed to have underestimated Su Wan again. She looked at Fei Qinfan and smiled sweetly before saying,  " It looks like you really don"t know what is good for you, then I will go and talk with Headmaster Yuan.

I think he will be more sincere than you, my lord."
