Chapter 206 Revenge

But where can I get the money now?

Ever since the Pei family fell, those sisters who used to be on good terms with her now treat her like a plague. When they see her, they wish they could stay away from her.

No one could help her.

Now, the only person who can help her is Tian Wenzhi next door.

But he was too incompetent. He worked from dawn to dusk every day, and the few copper coins he earned were not even enough for food and drink. A bottle of ointment from Baoning Hall cost twenty or thirty taels. Even if he was sold to buy him, he would not be worth the money?

Pei Yunjin lay on the bed, thinking of going out and trying his luck tomorrow.

The others avoided her because she did not have a deep relationship with them, but Fan Ruining was different. They were like sisters and had a special friendship, so she would definitely help her.

Having made up his mind, Pei Yunjin went to sleep.

The next day, she waited for Tian Wenzhi to leave the house, then got out of bed.

After a quick wash, she put on her hat and went out.

The wide brim of her hat just covered the hideous scar on her face. Even so, she was still afraid of being seen, so she kept her head down and hurried to Jinxiufang.

Fan Ruining loves shopping the most, and Jinxiufang is her favorite place to go.

She wanted to try her luck there.

In order to avoid people, she didn't take the main road, but walked through the alleys and paths.

Just as she came out of the alley, lowered her head and hurriedly turned onto Jinxiufang Street, a carriage suddenly appeared.

Seeing that they were about to collide, Pei Yunjin was so scared that he stood there in a daze.

Fortunately, the other driver was an experienced man. He immediately tightened the reins and stopped the carriage just one step away from Pei Yunjin.

There weren't many people on the street at this time.

There were people wandering around the streets.

The driver was so angry that he couldn't help but yell, "How do you walk like that? Do you have eyes on the soles of your feet? If you run out like this, who will be held responsible if someone gets hit?"

Pei Yunjin didn't dare to look up.

Now is different than before. If this happened before, when she was still the eldest daughter of the Pei family, who would dare to treat her like this? Aren't they afraid of having their tongue pulled out?

But now, a lowly driver dared to scold her at will...

She took a deep breath, and just as she was about to leave, a female voice came from the carriage.

"Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"

Pei Yunjin raised his eyes in disbelief, his eyes fixed on the curtain of the carriage, motionless.

White and tender fingers gently stretched out, lifted the car curtain, and looked out.

The moment the other party raised his eyes, Pei Yunjin quickly lowered his head, but a storm was brewing in his heart.

It’s Jiang Yueyao!

It’s her!

When she thought about how Lu Sui had mercilessly thrown her into a beggars' den and left her to be bullied and humiliated because of her, the hatred that had been suppressed surged up again.

She would never forget that night, when she was pinned down by a group of smelly beggars, time and time again...

She swore at that time that even if she became a ghost, she would not let Lu Sui go.

He will not let that bitch Jiang Yueyao go.

If it weren't for her, how could she have fallen into such a miserable state?

The hands hanging at her sides tightened little by little, and the hatred in her body was almost overflowing. She wished she could pounce on her and strangle her to death right now.

At this moment, Jiang Yueyao, who was sitting in the carriage, was looking at a person standing in front of the carriage.

Judging from her figure, she looks like a woman, but judging by her attire, she looks like a man.

She wasn't sure, but worried that the other person was frightened, so she asked gently, "Are you okay?"

Pei Yunjin naturally wouldn't reply to her.

It was a sunny day today, but the other person was wearing a huge hat, which made him stand out from the surroundings.

But she just stood there in a daze, as if she was frightened.

Jiang Yueyao said hurriedly: "Well, I have something urgent to do. If you have anything, please go to Qianweilou to find me. I am Shen Baoqi, the owner of Qianweilou."

After saying this, she let Uncle Liu drive away.

She was going out of town today to order some food from a farm on the outskirts of the city. If she went too late, she wouldn't be able to get back by noon.

Her carriage had gone a long way away when Pei Yunjin, who was standing still, finally reacted.

Shen Baoqi?

She is obviously Jiang Yueyao, how did she become Shen Baoqi?

But why does this name sound so familiar...

She was thinking as she walked, and unknowingly stopped at the door of Qianwei Tower.

Qianweilou happened to be recruiting workers, and there were quite a few people gathered at the door.

She took a step forward and heard people around her talking.

"The owner of Qianweilou is really generous. He paid two taels of silver a month for a swill transporter."

"You don't know this, right? Although she is the shopkeeper, she is also the owner of Qianweilou."

"But why did I hear that she used to be the owner of Wanhelou? How did she become the owner of Qianweilou now? This restaurant is not cheap. Where does a little girl get the money?"

"Oh, haven't you heard? Her status is very different now. She's not just the owner of Qianweilou. She's the second daughter of Duke Shen who was lost for many years and was finally found. Her status is very noble."

Duke Shen?

Is that Shen Huaishan who returned from the victorious battle in Mobei?

It turns out that Jiang Yueyao is his little daughter who has been missing for many years?

Pei Yunjin stood there, feeling cold all over.

She fell from the clouds into the mud, barely surviving, living a life worse than a stray dog.

And that lowly merchant girl Jiang Yueyao, whom she once disdained to even glance at, suddenly transformed herself, flew onto the tree branch and turned into a golden phoenix.

Pei Yunjin suddenly wanted to laugh.

Laughing at the unfairness of fate?

Why?

Why did God treat her like this?

She hates it!

She hates it!

For a moment, she felt that Jiang Yueyao had taken away her luck and her wealth and good fortune.

So she wants revenge.

She wanted to make Jiang Yueyao, that bitch, fall from the clouds like her, and even better, let her taste the humiliation of being humiliated by a beggar...

Pei Yunjin stared at the red recruiting paper for a long time, and suddenly a good revenge plan came to his mind...

-----

Qianweilou was looking for servants, and quite a few people came.

They all came for the two taels of monthly silver.

Jiang Yueyao looked at several people and felt that none of them were suitable. Some of them were obviously not cut out for the job.

She recruited men to carry slop, but these men couldn't even carry a bucket of water, so how could they carry a bucket of slop?

At noon, another person came.

The other man's name was Tian Wenzhi. He was very thin and had a disability in his right leg. He walked with a limp, but he didn't talk much and had a lot of brute force.

Jiang Yueyao let him try it for two days.

During these two days, he not only cleaned up the泔水 everywhere in the restaurant, but also did some other work in his spare time.

For example, there is a pond in the backyard.

Because of the wind last night, there was a layer of fallen leaves in the pond. He silently scooped up all the leaves...

She kept him and gave him an extra ounce of silver.

After February, the capital entered March.

As the spring breeze of March blows, the weather becomes warmer.

The business of Qianweilou is getting better and better, and its momentum is already surpassing Wanhelou.

For this reason, she often showed off in front of Lu Sui.

"Once I take action, your Wanhe Tower will have to stand aside."

Lu Sui has been doting on her a lot lately.

After hearing this, he said, "Your father gave you Qianwei Tower, so how about I give you Wanhe Tower as well?"
