Chapter 1658 Qingyi’s Pride
"Indeed." Wei Qingyi’s face was full of pride.
It was as if she could see herself pocketing all the countless profits of Poison King Valley every day.
Her father was the Housekeeper of the valley. Although he did not manage the accounts, he would request the monthly expenditures for the valley’s servants from the Accountant’s Room. Occasionally, he would see the account books, and indeed, the valley’s daily income was substantial.
The Valley Master had an exceptional business acumen. At first, he made money solely from selling poison, but as his funds grew, he began investing in mining, purchasing shops and lands, using money to bribe influential court officials and establish connections. The Valley Master sent large contingents of men and ships to distant overseas countries to procure rare items, which were brought back to Qingliang Country to sell at substantial profits.
Due to scarcity, those things that Qingliang Country did not have often fetched very high prices.
The Valley Master’s Right Shadow Guard was specially responsible for monitoring the distant voyages and purchases.
For a man who could build an empire from scratch, there was probably no one better than the Valley Master.
Thinking of how the Valley Master had called her to leave several times last night, she couldn’t help but feel immense gratitude that she had persisted.
Today, not only was the Valley Master not displeased, but he also sent a maid to her.
She stroked her belly. If her belly cooperated, perhaps she was already carrying the Valley Master’s child by now.
Once she had a child, the throne of the Valley Master’s Wife would be within her reach.
Thinking of the immense wealth of Poison King Valley, the pride on her face grew even more evident.
