Chapter 26: The Familiar Multiplication Table
Lu Zhai.

Lu Yuan has two houses in Taohua Town, and the two houses are not far from each other.

But Lu Yuan did not return to the Lu Mansion.

Father Lu never returned to the Lu Mansion and usually liked to stay in the yamen.

Liu Ping knelt in front of Lu Yuan, crying bitterly.

"Lu Yuan, you have to believe me. I really didn't betray you. This is all the fault of that guy named Wang. He is not a good person."

Liu Ping was really scared this time, and Lu Yuan's face was terribly gloomy.

"Liu Ping, I know a lot of things. I am much more valuable than ten thousand taels of gold..."

Liu Ping remembered his identity and felt more confident.

She is a modern person and has mastered a lot of knowledge that ancient people could not grasp.

The knowledge about gunpowder and soap was not something an ancient person could have known.

"Is this the soap you're talking about?"

Lu Yuan picked up a wooden box, opened it, and threw it to Liu Ping.

Liu Ping was dumbfounded. The soap in front of him was so beautifully made.

This is not something that can be done in a day or two.

"The things you mentioned have long been in the Nanyang region. As for gunpowder, the imperial court already has the Shenwu cannon."

Lu Yuan said as he gave his confidant a look.

The soap is indeed a product from Southeast Asia, but it is shockingly expensive.

Such a good thing cannot be ruined by this woman.

The confidant knew Lu Yuan's character very well, and immediately took the soap from Liu Ping's hand and put it into the box.

This thing was already dirty, and Lu Yuan originally wanted to give it to Xu Qiuyue, but then he thought that Xu Qiuyue was his wife and would sleep with him in the future.

Or give me a new one.

So Lu Yuan said to the servant, "Take out a new soap from the storeroom and give it to the young mistress, and this one is for the madam."

Don't waste it, it's a good thing.

His mother sleeps with his father.

His father was a man who didn't care about much and was very thrifty. He would just put the soap in water and wash it clean.

When Liu Ping heard the words "Young Madam", he felt as if he had taken some panacea.

I felt like my brain suddenly became clear.

She felt she was so stupid.

She didn't want to deal with such a big villain, but actually wanted to leave.

Only by defeating the villain can the heroine live a happy life.

And Xu Qiuyue, Lu Yuan’s wife, is a big villain.

Generally speaking, the legal wife is very hateful.

Most of the female protagonists are concubines, and are tortured badly by the wife.

Maybe all this was Xu Qiuyue's plan.

Xu Qiuyue is the mistress of the house, so she must know that she ran away.

But Xu Qiuyue deliberately did not stop it, and did not even tell Lu Yuan about it.

Then he deliberately found Wang Fugui to humiliate her, and then asked Wang Fugui to send her back to the Lu Mansion, completely severing her future with Lu Yuan.

What a vicious scheme!
She said that with her peerless beauty, how could Wang Fugui not be moved and give her to Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan, believe me, this is all Xu Qiuyue's conspiracy. She deliberately found someone to lure me away from the Lu Mansion. I don't like Wang Fugui at all. It was she who seduced Wang Fugui and made him force himself on me..."

Liu Ping secretly hated himself in his heart, thinking that he was really careless and relaxed.

She is so kind.

She should have acted preemptively like the heroine in the novel, so as to avoid such bad news.

When Lu Yuan saw Liu Ping like this, he almost laughed. Did he think he was so easy to fool?

If he was really that stupid, his shop would have been swindled away by others long ago.

However, Lu Yuan thought of another thing, which was gunpowder.

The imperial court did have the mighty cannon.

But the formula of gunpowder has always been top secret.

When people achieve a certain status, they want more things.

Lu Yuanxiang pretended to believe Liu Ping's explanation and said to Liu Ping: "In this case, I will give you a chance. I have a fireworks store and I haven't developed new fireworks for a long time. Since you know gunpowder, it should be easy to make fireworks."

Liu Ping was dumbfounded. She only remembered that her teacher once said that the ratio of gunpowder was one part sulfur, two parts nitrate and three parts charcoal.

Although she had played with these fireworks before.

But she knew nothing about the specific production process.

Liu Ping thought about it and decided that she still had the multiplication table, so it would be better to teach Lu Yuan arithmetic first.

This one is simple.

"Lu Yuan, let me teach you arithmetic first. This multiplication table was taught to me by an immortal in a dream..."

Lu Yuan was stunned.

Isn’t this what Xu Qiuyue taught him?

It was also taught by immortals in dreams.

Xu Qiuyue said that what is more believable is that it was taught by a wandering Taoist priest.

Although it's outrageous, it's at least more reliable than what Liu Ping said.

"Alright, you don't have to say it anymore. This is very simple, a three-year-old child can do it. Don't treat me like a fool again. If you can't prove your own value, I will have no choice but to sell you to Wang Fugui."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he recited the rest of the multiplication table.

Liu Ping was stunned.

Could it be that there was a time-traveling woman in this world before she came? No wonder there were gunpowder and soap.

What does this leave for her?

It's too difficult for her!
I think of Wang Fugui’s disgusting face.

Moreover, Wang Fugui was too stingy. A mere ten thousand taels of gold was like asking for his life.

She is a famous time-traveling girl, how could she see such stuff?

Liu Ping now wishes that Wang Fugui would disappear completely from this world, so that she won't have to recall this embarrassing past.

How could she think that Wang Fugui was a nobleman!
How could she be attracted to a guy who is obsessed with sex?

No, it was not her fault. It was all Wang Fugui's fault.

It was Wang Fugui who betrayed her.

She is a time-traveling girl, and it is Wang Fugui's blessing that she falls in love with him.

But Wang Fugui was an unlucky man and he threw away this blessing.

She shouldn't have given up on Lu Yuan.

No matter what, Lu Yuan was willing to spend 12,000 taels of gold on her and brought her back.

"I can make your brothel earn 10,000 taels of gold in a month, and I can also suppress Wang Fugui's brothel so that it has no business at all."

"Okay, I'll give you a chance, but I want to see results within three days. If you can't improve the business in the brothel within three days, don't blame me for being cruel. Lu Wu, take her to Baihua Tower."

Lu Yuan said to the guards around him.

Liu Ping didn't feel sad when he saw Lu Yuan like this.

She wanted to let Lu Yuan see her skills. Then she would bring modern house dance to this world, which would surely surprise the people in this world.

And it is usually written in novels that at the beginning, the male protagonist is not nice to the female protagonist, but later on, the male protagonist will start to chase his wife to the crematorium. Liu Ping is very confident in himself.
