Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 707: Can't make a loss

Chapter 707: Can’t make a loss

Fei Qinfan thought for a moment before he said, " I can ask for an imperial physician for you but in return I want you to give me one of these potted plants, once the flowers bloom." He paused before he swiftly added, " Not only that I also want you to teach my gardener how to take care of it, if you agree then I will call the physician for you."

He might be considered a fool by his brother but he wasn't that much of an idiot, if he was going to do someone a favour then he would have to gain something back in return!

Su Wan watched Fei Qinfan's businessman-like tactic and was so amused that she wanted to laugh out loud, she rolled her eyes and then picked up the small bell that was sitting next to her before ringing it. As soon as she rang the bell, her maid who was working in the laundry area, came rus.h.i.+ng and helped Su Wan pack up her gardening tools.

With the help of her maid, Su Wan stood up from the wooden bench and then looked at Fei Qinfan with a smile. " Young master, you seemed to be mistaken. The flower that I am raising is something that no one has ever seen in this empire, once this flower blooms I am sure that I will be able to sell it for at least five hundred taels of gold or maybe more if I push it… given how you want to take it with you, I can already see that it will be quite famous in the circle of young masters and missies like you, so do I have to worry about not being able to contact an imperial physician?"

" I can always wait till the flowers bloom and then I will have my husband bring Ah Rui to the capital, with the money in my hand I am certain that we will be able to get Ah Rui checked up by a royal physician."

" Hah, but you cannot get in contact with an imperial physician just because you have money," said Fei Qinfan with a pompous smile as he looked at Su Wan with a victorious smile. " For that, you will need to have at least some contacts in the imperial palace."

Su Wan looked speechless as she walked towards her courtyard with her hand carefully holding her bulging belly. " Young master Fan, have you forgotten? I am the G.o.ddaughter of Lord Fei, if I go to the capital then I can surely have the contacts that I need to call an imperial physician…and my husband is a scholar whom everyone believes that he will become the top scholar, do I need to say more?"

This time it was Fei Qinfan's turn to be speechless as he looked at her in surprise. " That...That is true but if you have so many contacts then why do you want me to call a physician for you?"

" Isn't it because I don't want to wait?" Su Wan responded with apparent ease. " My husband's legs have been hurt years ago and the more I wait, the more difficult it will be to mend his limp legs, some times having money is not everything and that is the only reason why I am asking for your help, young master. If not then I would have never mentioned anything to you about this matter."

"Then what about my uncle, surely he can get you an imperial physician?" Fei Qinfan asked again and this time Su Wan rolled her eyes at him without any reservation. " Do you think I haven't asked my G.o.d-grandfather? I have already done it, that imperial concubine who is bent on going against me seemed to be making a move in the imperial palace, the letters sent by G.o.d grandfather cannot reach the Emperor."

When Fei Qinfan heard that one of the imperial concubines was actually messing with his father's mail, he was so furious that he wanted to take a look at the situation by himself but then he calmed down and controlled his urge. He knew his grand uncle much better than he did anyone else, surely that old man was waiting and bidding for the sly cat to show her tail.

Because no matter how sharp and scheming an imperial concubine was, she was doomed to make a mistake.

After he thought about it carefully, he nodded his head and said, " All right, I will call for an imperial physician for you but what will you give me as a reward? I am telling you I will not be calling the imperial physician without getting anything in return."

He might be a prince but he didn't like the idea of doing anything for free all right! He needs to get at least a bit of benefit, if he cannot get the flowers then he needs to get at least some discount at the very least!

In order to prevent Su Wan from taking any more advantage of him, Fei Qinfan hurriedly put forward his condition, after all the two of them were relying on each other for benefits so there was no need for her to act like a petty miser.

Su Wan realised that she wouldn't be able to take advantage of Fei Qinfan either, so she thought about it carefully and said, " I will let you have the flower but you will have to pay for it …at most I will give you a discount of fifty taels." Seeing that he still looked dissatisfied, Su Wan sighed in a helpless manner. " Don't think that you are making a loss here, it might not look like it but the flower will surely be sold for more than five hundred taels of gold, and when that happens you will surely regret not taking my offer."

She wasn't lying, a hybrid flower was something that no one has come up with yet and even after the roses were shown to the public, the chances of someone successfully raising a flower with the same property as her, who learned it from the experts was really low.
