[1] After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

295-296

Chapter 295: A thorn was planted

Qi Yiyang's biological father was not the heir to the public administration house.

He was the second son of the royal family.

He also became an official after sitting for the imperial examinations. He was now a third-rank left assistant minister in the Ministry of Rites.

His words could be considered to have some impact in the family.

Qi Yiyang's imperial examination results were the best among his cousins.

He also had a good relationship with the fifth prince.

Because of this, they hated him.

"Xi Rui, you are back. I heard recently that you are close to Xi Rui and a few dandies. Are you hanging out with them again today?"

"Not just hanging out with them again. I heard that you went to a restaurant with Xi Rui and a few others today. It seems that their relationship is really good."

"Aren't you not on good terms with those dandies? Why are you hanging out with them?"

"Xi Rui, you are the one who is most likely to be admitted to the advanced scholar examination in our lifetime. How can you hang out with Xi Rui and the other dandies?"

"Yes, won't it affect your studies?"

As soon as Qi Yiyang entered the door, his cousins of the same generation ridiculed him.

Hearing their words, Qi Yiyang's father, Qi Pengqing, could not help but his face turned black.

He frowned and asked, "Why are you hanging out with Xi Rui and the others?"

He had a lot of hope for this son of his.

Naturally, he did not like his son to mingle with the dandies.

Qi Yiyang knew that he was going to be judged.

He replied frankly, "I'm mainly looking for Shi Qingluo."

His father was puzzled. "Why are you looking for Shi Qingluo?"

Old Master Qi thought of something. "You're not going to find out what formula Shi Qingluo gave, are you?"

Qi Yiyang smiled and said, "Grandfather, you are wise. I'm indeed going to find out about this."

Old Master Qi's interest was piqued. "Did you find out?"

Qi Yiyang nodded. "Not only did I find out, I even got the formula that she gave to the emperor."

Old Master Qi and the rest were shocked. "What? She even give you the formula?"

Qi Yiyang took out Shi Qingluo's drawing and paper and handed it to Old Master Qi. "This time, the recipe she gave is to make something called rubber..."

He roughly repeated what Shi Qingluo said in the restaurant.

Old Master Qi, Qi Yiyang's father, and the rest quickly thought of some key points.

Qi Yiyang's cousin couldn't help but ask, "Shi Qingluo just gave you the formula? When did you two become so close?"

Recently in the capital, Shi Qingluo's name was very famous.

Especially Liang Youxiao and Xi Rong, who made everyone's eyes turn red.

In addition to the emperor's response and punishment toward General Xiao because of Shi Qingluo, many people now wanted to get in touch with Shi Qingluo and her husband.

His cousins did not expect that Qi Yiyang would unknowingly become good friends with Shi Qingluo.

Qi Yiyang replied, "I befriended her when I went to the prefectural city and countryside examination last time. She gave me this recipe and asked our family to find these three plants to extract latex. It wasn't a free gift. She wanted 30% of the latex cut by our family in the first three years to be sold to her at a price not higher than the market price."
