Yun Zhiyi always thought she was the fake young mistress who had taken another's place. After the real one returned, she held back in every way.
Only after being thrown into the mass grav...
As the saying goes, the more unattainable something is, the more people miss it.
This immediately piqued the other party's interest.
He personally led the servant to the shop, wanting to inspect and buy strawberries with Yun Zhiyi.
The outcome is self-evident.
The other party originally intended to use force.
The next day, he personally came to apologize, clearly having been warned by someone.
Yun Zhiyi probably had a clue about this, but she didn't pay any attention to it.
However, after that, her vegetable shop's reputation began to spread to the upper echelons of society.
I initially came just to buy Golden Pearl strawberries.
Someone behind them couldn't buy strawberries, so they angrily bought vegetables instead, only to find that the vegetables were also delicious.
This resulted in Yun Zhiyi having to increase the quantity of her dishes again and again, yet still not being able to meet demand.
Today was similar to usual; the products sold out before noon.
She was planning to close the shop and go back to check on the progress of the mountain excavation.
Several people appeared outside the shop.
The leader was an old man I had seen before, followed by four guards with impressive auras who were clearly not ordinary martial artists.
There was also a child next to the old man.
However, the other person was wearing a small hood, so it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female.
Judging from the attitude of the old man and the guards, he should be a master-level figure.
The child seemed to be looking up, peering at her through the gap in the hood.
Yun Zhiyi spoke first, "We've sold out of vegetables for today."
She knew, of course, that they weren't there to buy groceries.
After all, this family buys most of the strawberries every day, and they also buy vegetables. They definitely didn't come here specifically to buy vegetables.
But if they don't express it, she won't ask.
Then she heard a clear, soft voice, somewhat like a boy's, yet also androgynous.
"Hello, cloud store owner."
Yun Zhiyi looked at him and nodded, "Hello."
The child asked, "Excuse me, may I come in and sit down? I have something I'd like to say to the shop owner, Yun."
Yun Zhiyi has always been tolerant of polite children.
She nodded. "Okay, two people at most."
The old man was still very dissatisfied with Yun Zhiyi's attitude.
However, she held back her temper and carefully helped the child into the store.
He then glanced at it with disdain, took out a handkerchief, and spread it on a chair.
Yun Zhiyi raised an eyebrow, sat down at the table, and poured a cup of flower tea for the two of them.
The child smelled the aroma of the flower tea and reached out to pick up the teacup.
The old man quickly stopped him, saying, "Young master, you should not eat food from other places."
The child paused for a moment, then went to get the teacup.
"Uncle Yang, it's alright, you're just being too cautious."
As she spoke, she lifted her veil, took a sip of tea from her cup.
Yang Bo frowned, glanced at Yun Zhiyi, and then looked nervously at his young master.
The child looked up at Yun Zhiyi, his eyes slightly curved.
"Even the tea at Sister Yun's shop is so delicious."
Yun Zhiyi smiled gently, "I'm glad you like it."
The child put down his teacup. "Sister Yun, my name is Zou Ziyu. I came here specifically to thank you."
As he spoke, he beckoned a guard to take the box from his hand and place it on the table.
"I previously suffered from anorexia, but thanks to Sister Yun's cooking, my condition did not worsen. Now it has improved a lot. This is a thank-you gift I specially prepared for Sister Yun. Please accept it."
Yun Zhiyi raised an eyebrow, reached out and touched the gift box, opened it and glanced at it, then her lips curved into a meaningful smile.
Inside the box was a jade plaque with "Rong" engraved on the front and "Zou" engraved on the back.
This is a jade plaque from the Rongguo Duke's Mansion.
This young prince is quite adept at handling things.
Indeed, grandson of the emperor.
The character story cards next to them have already revealed the other person's identity and future storyline.
Fu Ziyu, the second son of the Second Prince Fu Mingxin, is nine years old this year.
Born prematurely, he was weak from childhood and suffered from intestinal cancer, which was diagnosed as not living past the age of twelve.
The current Second Prince's wife, also known as the Princess Consort of Zhao, is the Prince of Zhao's second wife, and Fu Ziyu is her only son.
Princess Zhao has always suspected that her sudden premature birth back then was a secret, possibly related to the late Princess's legitimate son.
She had been enduring this in silence so that her frail youngest son could be cared for in the future.
Upon learning that his son did not have much time left, he was overcome with grief and became obsessed with revenge.
To prevent her son from getting involved in the conflict and to ensure he could live a more comfortable life for the next few years.
She sent her son back to the Rongguo Duke's Mansion and entrusted him to the care of the old lady of the Duke's Mansion.
However, things were not peaceful in the backyard of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion, and Princess Zhao had overestimated the old lady.
The old lady used the excuse that things were not peaceful in the inner quarters of the Duke's mansion to temporarily arrange for people to come to Lufeng City.
Yang Bo was a eunuch sent by the palace to take care of Fu Ziyu in his early years.
Master and servant then came here together and have been staying here for some time.
As the plot unfolds, Fu Ziyu, feeling abandoned, falls ill with worry, which not only worsens his physical condition but also causes mental illness. He eventually dies at the young age of ten.
Princess Zhao blamed her husband and her family for her son's death.
Therefore, they secretly allied with Zhou Wangshu, who openly supported King Zhao, and used King Zhao to rebel.
In the end, King Zhao's rebellion failed, and he was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned.
The Princess Consort of Zhao was ordered to commit suicide.
After reading the plot, Yun Zhiyi looked at the mature-beyond-his-years child in front of her, and then at the token in the gift box.
It seems the other party had also verified her identity before sending the token.
I suspect he was the one who secretly helped her resolve many of the troubles and difficulties caused by powerful families.
She closed the lid and pushed the box back.
"I'm just selling vegetables. It's a simple matter of paying for the goods and receiving the money. I don't deserve any reward without having done anything right."
Fu Ziyu looked at the box that had been pushed back, then looked up at her. Suddenly, his expression changed; he was no longer the innocent girl he had been before.
