1. An accident turned Du Ruoyi into a tiny gardener in the Second Young Master's courtyard. Being a small gardener had its perks; all she had to do was plant flowers and tend to grass. Wasn'...
Chapter 29
Prince Anle was furious and roared loudly. He looked at it with great sorrow and said, "Since this is the case, you will have nothing to do with my palace from now on. Get out, get out."
"Your Highness, please don't be angry, don't be angry. This rebellious son is not worth it. Your health is more important. You just recovered from the cold the other day. You must not be angry again."
Princess Anle patted the man's chest to calm him down, saying, "Why are you arguing with a useless person? You can just kick him out of the house and pretend he doesn't exist."
The purple jade bracelets stacked on her wrists jingled, a pleasant sound.
Jun Qingmo looked over and saw that it was his biological mother's relic. He took it out to play with it when he missed his mother.
Unexpectedly, Princess Anle saw it. The jade bracelet was made of high-quality material, crystal clear, and the water color was also top-grade.
Jun Qingmo saw that she liked it very much and was quite attentive to him. At that time, the mother and son had a very good relationship. Seeing that she couldn't take her eyes off it, he gave it to her.
"Okay, now that we've talked about it today," Jun Qingmo raised his head, his eyes as bright as torches, without any distracting thoughts in them, "I can leave, but you must return everything my mother left me."
The hall suddenly fell silent. Jun Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the people below with a cold expression.
The Anle Palace had long been in decline. Without any other rewards, the meager allowances and monthly salaries were not enough to support the expenses of the entire huge and luxurious palace.
Since Jun Qingmo's biological mother married into the palace, most of the expenses came from her dowry and the "tribute" from her father-in-law's family.
Jun Qingmo's biological mother was the daughter of the richest businessman in the capital, and her family was not short of gold, silver and money.
It is a great honor for the family if their daughter has the opportunity to marry into the royal family.
In order to show sincerity, a very rich dowry was prepared.
It is no exaggeration to say that the wedding was a lavish affair. The farms, shops, and money that came as a dowry were already a huge sum, not to mention the annual "filial piety" after they became relatives.
Princess Anle sat back down and said nonchalantly, "Your mother? Did she leave anything for you?"
"According to Yinzhou law, if a mother dies and has a son, her dowry automatically becomes the son's property. My mother's dowry should naturally be returned to me."
"Why? You were raised by heaven and earth, and all the gold and silver I've spent on you over the years, where do you think it came from?"
Jun Yi: "Your mother didn't leave any inheritance to begin with; it was all used to train you. Now, you're even bothering with this. Jun Qingmo, Jun Qingmo, how has my palace ever treated you poorly? How has it ever raised an ungrateful beast like you?"
"You didn't leave any property behind? Hahahaha, father, I don't have any other special abilities, but you know one thing. I don't have any other abilities, but a good memory is one of them."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Jun Yi's face was as gloomy as water, and he said through gritted teeth.
"My father personally promised, at Mother's bedside, that he would treat me well and that all the countless farms and money in Mother's name would be registered under my name. The portion Mother mentioned at the time included over thirty shops and thousands of acres of fertile farmland."
This matter concerned whether he could continue to have money to spend, so Jun Zhili was not vague. "It's just an oral account, there are always errors and omissions in your memory. You were young at the time, so your memory is even less reliable. You say it's true? It's just words, there's no proof. Where's the evidence?"
Jun Yi was fearless. The dowry list had been lost when Duan Ruyi was still alive. After so many years, there was no proof left.
"It seems that my father not only wants to kick me out of the house, but also doesn't want to leave me any chance of survival."
"Evil creature, what do you mean by that? The entire inheritance your mother left behind was used to raise you. The palace has never embezzled a single cent. You are truly unreasonable."
"Hahaha, fine, fine, there's no point in saying more. Since the palace won't let me stay, I'll just leave. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Father, will you at least let me go back to the courtyard and pack a few changes of clothes?"
Princess Anle said, "I'll give you half an hour. After half an hour, you must leave the palace on your own. If you leave after that time, it will be beyond your control."
"Goodbye, I bid farewell to the prince and princess."
Since they had been driven out of the house, they were no longer his father, mother, and concubine. He had changed his words, and was also warning himself not to have any more illusions.
From today onwards, Prince Anle's Palace will no longer have anything to do with him.
He was about to slide out of the wheelchair. Zhang Yunniang instantly understood what he was going to do, and she helped him kneel down.
Jun Qingmo kowtowed three times solemnly, no longer observing the expressions of everyone in the hall, and left the front hall without looking back.
It only took half an hour. It would take a cup of tea to get back to their residence, and another cup of tea to leave the house. The time left for them to pack up was only a stick of incense.
There was no time to waste, and he had no time to feel sad or upset.
He needs to quickly recall which important things he needs to take away in time.
"Sir, hold on to the handle and think of anything you want to take with you on the way. I need to speed up."
"good."
Zhang Yunniang was also not vague. Her way of dealing with things was to solve the problem first when encountering it. After the dilemma was resolved, she could cry if she wanted to and release her emotions.
Now you are crying there, how can you do this, ah, do you have any heart, ah, God you are unfair, that's all nonsense.
"I definitely need to bring clothes, otherwise it would cost a lot of money to buy them all. I don't have any valuables, and most of my money is in the bank. I put the small amounts of money together so it's easier to organize."
"You must bring the storybook I've written and the outline I've compiled."
"Okay, okay, I'll take note. Later, give me everything you need for daily use. Think carefully about the things in the study."
Fortunately, Zhang Yunniang has been exercising all the time, and now her physical condition is very good. She can run fast, talk, and think at the same time without any delay.
The two returned to the courtyard with mixed feelings.
Before leaving in the morning, the two were still laughing and chatting. It would only be a day's work before they would leave this place forever.
The two of them worked together separately, but after spending so much time together, they already had a tacit understanding.
After packing up her things quickly, Zhang Yunniang returned to her previous residence.
This is the end of the original Zhang Yunniang's life, and also the starting point of her life.
She spent two springs and autumns here. Looking at the plants she cultivated, she really couldn't bear to part with them. She dug up a few of the most difficult to cultivate precious varieties, and had to give up the others.
She quickly came to the front yard, put away the packed package, and went to the study to find Jun Qingmo.
"The packages are packed. We still have some time. Is there anything else you need to take? I'll help sort it out."
"There's nothing else. Everything I need to take away is on the desk."
Zhang Yunniang grabbed another bundle and put the books and other things in it. She looked around again and that was it.
"Keep this."
Looking at the red booklet handed to her, she looked confused, "What is this?"
"The dowry list my mother left behind."
Zhang Yunniang subconsciously looked outside the house twice. She was afraid that there were ears on the other side of the wall and someone would hear her and cause trouble.
"You're quite smart. If you take it out now, not only will you lose your property, but you'll also lose the evidence. It's such an important thing, it's best for you to keep it for yourself."
"Keep it with you. If the worst happens and you get searched, it won't be safe to leave it with me."
"What if they search me too?"
"It shouldn't be that bad." Jun Qingmo took a deep breath. He was not wronged at all when he was scolded by Zhang Yunniang before.
Given his situation and the ruthlessness of those two people, if he had considered earlier that he might be kicked out one day, he should have moved the important things away earlier.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I know where it's safest to put it." Zhang Yunniang slapped her forehead, carried the person out of the wheelchair, removed the cushion on the seat, and after groping for a while, opened a small compartment and stuffed the things in.
"Now it's foolproof." She clapped her hands, her face full of pride. She didn't know what had come to her mind at the time that she had the sudden idea to ask the carpenter to leave such a small space.
It really comes in handy now.
"In the future, I will definitely take back everything my mother left behind."
"Hey, let's not think about that for now. We should go."
The two of them looked back at this place, and finally looked at the yard, took their gifts, and went out of the mansion.
Jun Qingxuan was waiting for them at the place where they had to pass to leave the mansion.
"Take this silver."
"unnecessary."
"After you leave the house, you will need money for many things."
Jun Qingxuan handed the silver to Zhang Yunniang, who moved it aside and walked away.
She won't take any money.
This person just added fuel to the fire.
It would have been fine if he hadn't said a single nice word, but from beginning to end, whether in Prince Cheng's mansion or after returning, he never said a word for Jun Qingmo and kept adding fuel to the fire.
She is not a fool. Everyone can understand the hidden meaning in her words.
"Why did the prince do this?" At least, during this period, the three of them had been getting along harmoniously. Jun Qingmo had finally opened his heart to him, but then he dealt him a heavy blow.
Zhang Yunniang asked for someone else.
"Hahaha, why do you do that? He's so lucky, I'm jealous."
Jun Qingxuan had tears in his eyes, but he refused to let them fall. He looked stubborn and his words were chilling.
"Once, he was raised by the gods and the rich. I was so far behind that I could only look up to him. Later, when he fell into trouble, he didn't suffer any hardship, and you were by his side to take care of him. Why should Jun Qingmo be treated favorably by fate in every way? I don't accept it. I won't accept it."
"Uh, you seem to have some serious illness." Zhang Yunniang looked at the person who came to give her silver, saying jealous words and doing hurtful things.
So you're really afraid that your brother will suffer, but you're also afraid that he will drive a Land Rover?
"Sick? Hahahaha, you're right, I'm afraid I really am a little sick."
Jun Qingxuan threw the silver at Jun Qingmo, turned around and prepared to leave, but Jun Qingmo threw the silver back at his feet.
"Yun Niang, let's go."
At the gate of the mansion, Jun Zhili had been waiting for a long time with a wicked smile on his face.
"Go and see if they have taken anything valuable from the palace. If you steal again, you will be sent to the government office."
Several packages were opened and scattered on the ground. They contained only some books, clothes, and a few small items that were not worth much.
"Third Young Master, maybe they hid something on their bodies?"
"That makes sense. Go over and see if they have anything hidden on them."
"Jun Zhili." Jun Qingmo was furious and squeezed out words from between his teeth. Even if he wanted to take something away, everything in the yard was his.
"Oh, you're angry. It seems you're hiding. Go ahead."
Several servants rushed over to the two of them and started to touch them all over. Jun Qingmo was pulled out of the wheelchair and searched. Zhang Yunniang certainly would not just stand by and watch, but her attempt to stop him brought the disaster upon herself.
"You stinky girl, you can't wait for your brother to touch you before it's your turn?"
"Come, let your brother satisfy you."
Zhang Yunniang looked at the outstretched hand and the disgusting expression of the evil servant. She was also a little scared and counted one, two, three silently in her heart.
With a cry of "ouch", the male servant who was about to attack her was kicked out.
Huh? She hasn't kicked yet?
