A few days later.
Enjoy the Spring Festival.
Every year when the Spring Festival comes, the capital is always particularly lively.
Many women from wealthy families would go out for fun on this day.
The street vendors had already prepared various small items and were waiting for the women to choose from.
If we have to choose the busiest street today, it would undoubtedly be East Street.
Early in the morning, East Street was bustling with traffic, with carriages of aristocratic families coming one after another.
The entire East Street is almost full of cars.
At the end of East Street, a newly opened store has a big red lantern hanging in front of it.
The shopkeeper shouted loudly: "Open!"
Crackling--
The sound of firecrackers continued to rise and fall.
Everyone around covered their ears to avoid the firecrackers exploding on the ground, but their faces were full of joy.
This shop called Yanzhi Pavilion was opened by Mrs. Liang, Shen Yuexi.
I heard that everything in Yanzhi Pavilion is made with Mrs. Liang’s exclusive secret recipe.
The rouge and powder can not only be used for makeup, but also for skin care.
This thing is really novel and attracted many people to buy it as soon as it was opened.
At this moment, Shen Yuexi was holding Liang Yuyu, running back and forth in the store, busy as a whirlwind.
"Mrs. Liang."
A sweet voice came from outside the door.
Shen Yuexi turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.
But then he saw a fat woman wearing gold and silver and with a silver fox ribbon around her neck, wriggling her slightly fat body, passing through the crowd and squeezing towards Shen Yuexi.
Seeing this, the women who were originally talking to Shen Yuexi stepped aside and talked in low voices.
"Why is she here?"
"That Concubine Qi in the palace was demoted precisely because of the Liang family. This wife of the Duke of Zhenguo is Concubine Qi's biological sister. I think she's here with ill intentions today."
When Liang Yuyu heard everyone's discussion, she couldn't help but pull open the swaddling clothes, and her big eyes blinked as she looked outside the swaddling clothes.
The fat woman had already moved in front of Shen Yuexi.
There was a thick layer of powder on her face. Even though Liang Yuyu was so far away from her, she could clearly see that the powder on her face was extremely stuck.
[Oh my god, she's not going to drop two pounds of powder just by laughing, is she?]
Liang Yuyu thought about it, turned around, grabbed Shen Yuexi's neck with her small hands, and moved her body upwards a little, trying her best to keep a distance from the fat woman.
Shen Yuexi bowed slightly, greeted the fat woman, and smiled gently: "Madam, how are you?"
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Qi He, is the elder sister of Concubine Qi, now Concubine Qi and Qi Yu.
Previously, the Qi family was severely reprimanded by the emperor because Qi Yu smuggled military equipment and passed inferior goods off as good ones. However, Qi He was not affected because she was a married daughter and her husband's family was the famous Duke of Zhenguo.
Of course, that was on the surface as he had not been reprimanded by the emperor.
But in private, these wives of officials often gave Qi He a cold shoulder.
After so many days, Qi He has seen the ups and downs of the capital city.
She blamed all the grievances she had suffered on the Liang family.
Hearing Shen Yuexi's words at this moment, Qi He felt that Shen Yuexi was deliberately teasing and mocking him.
Her chubby face trembled slightly, her eyelids fluttered slightly, and she glared at Shen Yuexi unhappily: "Why? Madam Liang, seeing that I can still stand here today, I'm afraid you have a lot of thoughts in your mind, right?"
The smile on Shen Yuexi's face suddenly froze.
She frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.
[Mother, today is a happy day, don't be angry with her.]
Shen Yuexi forced herself to calm down, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Qi He: "Madam, you are joking. Since you are here, please take your time to choose. No matter what you like today, I will pay for it."
Qi He sneered: "Madam Liang, are you worried that I can't give you money because something happened to my Qi family?"
Shen Yuexi tilted her head slightly, raised the corners of her eyes, and her gaze became a little colder.
Liang Yuyu was afraid that Shen Yuexi would get angry, so she used her small hands to rub her up and down to comfort her.
[Mother, please don't be angry. Don't pay attention to her. If she gets sick from anger, she can't afford to pay for it.]
Shen Yuexi took a deep breath and calmed down the anger in her heart a little.
She simply ignored Qi He and turned to talk to other people.
But Qi He refused to give in and instead stepped forward, standing between Shen Yuexi and the others.
She was fat to begin with, and her forced obstruction almost knocked over the person behind her.
The people behind her stared at Qi He unhappily: "What are you doing, Madam?"
Qi He turned his head away and looked at them coldly: "Can any cat or dog bark in front of me now?"
The husbands of those people did not hold as high an official position as the Duke of Zhenguo, and their own family backgrounds were not as good as Qi He's.
After being scolded by her, he suddenly became more than half his height shorter.
They looked at each other for a few seconds, then lowered their heads with unhappy expressions. Even though they were dissatisfied, they could only mutter in a low voice and did not dare to confront Qi He head-on.
[Mother, you can't let her be so arrogant here.]
[This is our territory. If we let her act so arrogantly, how can we survive?]
Liang Yuyu widened her eyes, grinned, revealing a row of small teeth, and put on a fierce and threatening look towards Qi He.
Qi He glanced at Liang Yuyu with a disdainful sneer.
While Shen Yuexi was still not reacting, she reached out and grabbed Liang Yuyu's little face, pulling it hard a few times.
Liang Yuyu's eyes turned red in pain. She turned her head away, opened her mouth, and bit Qi He's palm.
Qi He felt pain and raised his hand to hit Liang Yuyu's face.
"What are you doing?" Shen Yuexi grabbed Qi He's wrist.
Her eyes were cold and her whole body exuded affection, but there was no emotion on her face.
Shen Yuexi stared at Qi He, and suddenly pulled Qi He's hand down from mid-air.
With a sudden push, Qi He staggered and took a few steps back, his fat body suddenly hitting the long table beside him.
With a wave of his arm, Qi He pushed all the samples on the table to the ground.
Ding-ling-bang-dang--
Those things fell to the ground, and some even broke into pieces on the spot.
Suddenly, everyone's attention in the store was drawn here.
Soon, everyone came forward and surrounded Shen Yuexi and Qi He.
Qi He fell to the ground.
Her eyes turned red and she actually cried out loud.
"Everyone, you all saw it."
Qi He's fat body collapsed on the ground, like a piece of pork belly that couldn't be lifted up.
The corners of her mouth trembled, and she raised her hand and pointed at Shen Yuexi: "I came here with good intentions to support you today, and you actually treated me like this."
"How has our Qi family wronged your Liang family? Why do you always target our Qi family?"
"Mrs. Liang, even if you don't consider the Qi family's face, don't you give my master any face at all?"
Qi He turned the tables and spoke loudly, causing everyone around to talk about it. They all glanced at Shen Yuexi with disgust and disdain in their eyes.
