Even if the princess didn't say anything, he would not allow such a thing to happen.
After leaving the private room, Li Yunhe paid the bill and went downstairs.
When the two walked onto the street, Yu Yiluo saw a group of people clamoring to go to the Duke of Rong's Mansion.
Yu Yiluo listened for a while but couldn't figure out why these people wanted to go to Duke Rong's Mansion.
Li Yunhe was also confused, and took Yu Yiluo to stop a citizen who was watching the excitement.
"Auntie, what's going on?"
The lady looked at Li Yunhe and said, "Oh, young master, you don't even know this. These people are going to ask Duke Rong to pay compensation."
The old lady told the whole story, and Yu Yiluo summarized it directly.
[Simply put, someone came to the pharmacy with a prescription given by Duke Rong to buy medicine. Seeing the high demand, the pharmacy bought more medicine. However, after it was revealed that Duke Rong's child was not his, the people who had ordered the medicine stopped wanting it, leaving the pharmacy with a backlog of medicine that could not be sold.]
Li Yunhe felt a little sympathy for Duke Rong.
Not only is the family scandal known to everyone, but now the owner and clerk of the pharmacy are asking him for compensation.
"Let's go and take a look."
…
Duke Rong's Mansion.
Because his son became his grandson, Duke Rong has never left the house since then, not even for the palace banquet a few days ago.
At this moment, he was leaning on a recliner watching Yuan Ming practicing martial arts, when suddenly he saw a servant crawling in.
"My Lord, this is bad, this is bad. The people from the pharmacy are yelling at you to pay them back."
Duke Rong stood up immediately upon hearing this. "What? How dare they not tell me when they were making money?"
It wasn't him who asked them to sell it. It was these people who were greedy and had to import so many medicinal herbs. Now they can't sell them and they are asking him to lose money. How can they be so shameless?
"I see they are coming in a very aggressive manner, Duke. What do you suggest we do?"
"Drive them away."
Duke Rong frowned, walked to the door with his servants, and took a look through the crack.
There seemed to be more than a dozen people outside, constantly shouting for compensation.
Yu Yiluo, who was watching from the side, raised her hand and pinched her chin, "There's something fishy about this."
Li Yunhe nodded, "Your Highness is smart. These people must have been instructed by someone to do this."
Duke Rong did give prescriptions to people, but most of them were officials. The purchasing power of those officials was not so strong as to make these pharmacies stock up on medicinal materials at all costs.
"Who do you think ordered this?"
Yu Yiluo still looked at the noisy people and the closed door.
"Yuan Can was kicked out of the Duke's Mansion. He is a certain suspect."
After Li Yunhe finished speaking, he glanced at Yuan Can who was hidden in the crowd and chuckled.
"Your Highness, look, the suspect is watching the show in the crowd."
Yuan Can, who was wearing a straw hat in the crowd, lowered the brim of his hat and curled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Since the position of the crown prince does not belong to him, no one else can get it.
Anyway, he wouldn't let his stupid brother get the upper hand.
He didn't have a life of luxury, so they couldn't have one either.
Yuan Can quietly left the crowd.
Make a fuss, make a fuss, make it bigger so that his good father will become penniless like him.
Yu Yiluo walked aside and said, "Qingfeng, go follow Yuan Can."
Yuan Can's move will definitely not just cause the Rongguo Mansion to lose money.
How could the actions of someone with such a strong desire for revenge be just a small fight?
…
Duke Rong paced behind the door for a long time and gave instructions to his servants.
"Open the door."
If you force him back, it will only make a bigger fuss, so just give him some money and send him off.
"You can just send him off with silver."
Don’t these people want money?
Duke Rong thought this method was feasible, so he turned around and went back to the main hall to wait for the result.
The door slowly opened, and the dozen or so people at the door excitedly said, "They're coming out! They're coming out!"
Yu Yiluo was held by Li Yunhe and looked at the person who came out.
"Yuan Can has calculated that his father will definitely use money to get rid of these people. This way, Duke Rong will probably fall into his second trap."
"Luo'er, I knew I would meet you here."
The Sixth Princess came over wearing red clothes and looked at Yu Yiluo excitedly.
Wherever there is a hustle and bustle, there is Luo'er.
"We were planning to go congratulate Qin Qianqian, but we heard someone was causing trouble here, so we came here. But it should be resolved soon. Jingzhao Yin Pan is here with his men."
Just as the Sixth Princess said, the Duke of Rong's Mansion had just given silver to get rid of the troublemakers when the Jingzhao Yin came with his men.
"Who asked you to cause trouble here?"
Lord Pan straightened his official hat, which had been tilted in his haste, and looked at the troublemakers.
"I've heard about this. You all say it's because of Duke Rong, but whether your pharmacy is really overstocked with medicinal materials is not something I can rely on just your words."
Lord Pan took a deep breath and felt lucky to have made it in time.
Otherwise, he would have to watch the people making trouble at the gate of the Duke's Mansion and he would lose his official hat.
The troublemakers looked at Lord Pan and the yamen runners who suddenly appeared, and their faces turned pale.
Someone told them that they could take advantage of this incident to get a sum of money and would not be held accountable.
They didn't believe it at first, after all, this was the Duke's Mansion.
But that person said that this matter was shameful, and the Duke would choose to solve it with silver. As long as they did not ask for too much, they would definitely get the silver.
Sure enough, they really got the silver, but the man didn't say that the Jingzhao Yin would come.
They did take some medicinal herbs, but since they were all businessmen, they didn't take much.
"Sir, we were wrong. We will return the silver right away."
…
Duke Rong, who was waiting for the result in the main hall, stood up quickly after hearing what was happening outside.
"You said Jingzhao Yin is coming?"
The servant nodded and said, "Yes, now those people say they want to return the silver."
Duke Rong cursed Jingzhao Yin in his heart. He wished the matter would be over quickly, but this man came directly and made the matter even bigger.
He walked quickly towards the door. When Lord Pan saw him come out, he stepped forward and bowed.
"It was truly my fault that these people offended the Duke. Now the silver has been returned. Don't worry, I will have someone verify the situation. If it's not true, they will be guilty of an even greater crime."
"No need, Lord Pan, please go back and spare these people."
The dozen or so people kneeling on the ground didn't dare to ask for money after hearing this, and stood up to leave.
"Wait a minute," Lord Pan glanced at them, then smiled at Duke Rong. "Don't bother me, Duke. This is what I'm supposed to do. Go back home and rest. I'll take care of it."
Duke Rong frowned tightly. The Jingzhao Yin really couldn't understand his expression at all.
No wonder he is still the Jingzhao Yin for so long. How can you tell that he is afraid of causing trouble for him?
He doesn't want to bring up the past again, so let it go quickly.
Yu Yiluo, who was watching the fun from the side, almost laughed to death.
Lord Pan doesn't know how to read people's cues at all. Duke Rong's frown is so tight that it could kill a fly.
The Sixth Princess also didn't understand, "Luo'er, Lord Pan is helping Duke Rong, why isn't Duke Rong happy at all?"
