She was going to buy two shops that day, and after saying hello to Princess Ding, Shang Ruoyi went straight to the mansion.

After walking a few steps on the street, you can hear the voices of people talking.

"Have you heard? The biological father of the Princess of Ding is not the former Prime Minister Shang at all."

"Who is that?"

"I don't even know who it is. From what I can see, it might be a coachman or a guard."

"Tsk tsk tsk, how can a person like this be worthy of entering our world?"

"If you ask me, Shibo should just divorce her. The Dingguo Palace is the guardian of our Tianshun, and we can't let a bad apple mess it up."

When the people heard this, they all agreed.

Shang Ruoyi frowned, and Shaoyao beside her clenched her fists and said angrily: "These civilians, when fighting, they all ran faster than anyone else, but they all worked together to gossip."

Yunqi said in a deep voice: "My Lady, would you like me to drive them away?"

Shang Ruoyi smiled, shook her head and said, "It's just some gossip, what's there to worry about? Besides, what they said is also true, I am indeed not Shang's daughter."

She turned around and tried to leave, but the people behind her were still talking.

At this moment, several strong men rushed over and shouted at the gossipers: "You are not allowed to slander the world concubine!"

Shang Ruoyi paused, she didn't expect that someone would speak up for her.

She looked back and found that she didn't recognize those people at all.

"You are not allowed to slander the World Concubine. The World Concubine is not what you say she is at all." said one of the sturdy men.

"How do you know? She is the Princess Consort. Could it be that you are working in the Dingwang Palace?"

“We didn’t work for the Dingwang Palace, but we were all saved by the Dingwang Princess. When there was a drought, our village had no harvest, and the Princess saved more than a hundred people in our village on the way to exile. They had no food, but she still shared food with us. She is the benefactor of our entire village. The people of our village will never allow anyone to discredit the Dingwang Palace or the Dingwang Princess!”

Hearing him say this, a woman stepped forward with her hands on her hips and sneered, "I think you were all sent by Princess Ding! Humph! Do you think you can restore your image in our eyes by using such means? How ridiculous."

"We were not sent by Prince Ding's Consort. Everyone in the village knows that she saved our village. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask. Even if her biological father is really not Prime Minister Shang, so what? This does not affect her being a good person. You gossipers only know how to gossip about her behind her back. When I heard that Consort was fighting bloody battles in Qingzhou and single-handedly stopped thousands of troops from Southern Xinjiang, why didn't you go?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, and the woman who had just spoken was instantly silent.

Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Yunqi, and whispered, "This was arranged by your master, right?"

Yunqi blushed slightly and coughed softly: "I just asked them to give me a few pointers, but they are really grateful to the Princess."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Let's go."

A few days later, they came to a very busy street. Yunqi said softly, "My Lady Princess, there is a shop here. Their owner is going back to his hometown, so he is going to sell the shop. Please take a look."

Shang Ruoyi glanced back and forth at the street a few times, then walked towards the shop.

This shop is a cloth shop, located in the middle of the street, with a jewelry shop on the left and a teahouse on the right.

Shang Ruoyi walked in and found that there was only one storey in the building with the street behind it.

"Sir, are you here to visit the shop or to buy some cloth?"

"Come and have a look." She walked to the counter, which was filled with all kinds of cloth.

"Sir, you have a good eye. This cloth is brocade, which has been the most popular in the capital in the past two days. Many young ladies from official families love it very much."

"Boss, how much do you sell this shop for?"

"Sir, my shop only costs six thousand taels."

Six thousand taels.

Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly: "Why is it so expensive?"

"Sir, six thousand taels is not expensive. My shop is in the best location on this street! If I were not going back to my hometown, I would not sell this shop no matter what."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, the price of a shop in the capital is between two thousand and three thousand taels. A shop with a good location is only four thousand taels, and a shop with a courtyard is five thousand taels. You don't have a courtyard, and the shop is small, but you want six thousand taels. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Hearing her say this, the shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and he smiled awkwardly: "Sir, the feng shui of my shop is very good. I relied on this shop to make a prosperous business. You spend a little more money to buy some luck to make a fortune every day. What's wrong with that?"

Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but sneer when she heard this.

Luck of making a fortune every day?

If I really bought this shop, would I make a fortune or would he make a fortune?

"It's too far-fetched to charge more money for this gimmick." Shang Ruoyi shook her head: "It's still too expensive." After saying that, she was ready to turn around and leave.

Seeing that she was really going to leave, the shopkeeper was about to ask her to stay when he heard a sneer coming from the door: "If Princess Shi can't afford it, just say so. Your family is so wealthy, but you still lack this little money from the common people. It really makes your palace lose face." Mu Qingning walked in with a mocking smile on her face: "How much money can a shop have? I'll buy it!"

Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and looked at Mu Qingning with interest. How could Prime Minister Mu raise such a brainless daughter?

"Since Miss Mu likes it, I won't take your love away." She didn't want to pay attention to her and walked straight towards him.

Mu Qingning took a step forward and blocked Shang Ruoyi's way.

Yunqi saw this and was about to stop when Shang Ruoyi stopped him.

"What? Do you still want to beat me?" Mu Qingning sneered, "I really didn't expect you to have the nerve to walk on this street. If I were you, I would have hidden in my house and not dared to come here."

"Why don't you dare to come?" Shang Ruoyi said with a smile on her face: "I haven't done anything wrong, why don't you dare to come in?"

"Haven't you heard what your family is talking about? The Princess of Ding, her biological father is unknown, maybe a groom? A coachman? Or a guard? Can you tell clearly?" Mu Qingning glanced at her with contempt: "If you were a concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even though you were humble, you would still be considered a descendant of a famous family. What was the result? Your biological mother actually cheated on her husband. Such a despicable act is really despicable. No wonder she died early. I think even God couldn't stand a girl like her and wanted to take her away."

Shang Ruoyi's expression did not change when she heard this.

"Why, aren't you eloquent? Why aren't you talking?"

Shang Ruoyi curled her lips slightly and said calmly, "Yunqi, slap your mouth."
