Shen Yuerong knew that speaking up for Chi Mu would lead to trouble, but she didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly.
"Boss."
Several shops placed all the notices they received today on the table.
“I don’t know how I should solve this problem?”
Shen Yuerong took the paper and looked at the notice on it.
"It's just a normal inspection. You should cooperate as you should. You haven't done anything sneaky on weekdays, so you don't have to be afraid of their inspection today."
"But…"
There was a sense of embarrassment in the eyes of several managers.
"We spent some money and asked the people above us, and they said... only the Shen family's store would be closed for inspection."
"Stop business for inspection? If I remember correctly, this kind of ordinary inspection only takes half a day and does not require suspension of business. And it is only the store under my name that needs this?"
Boss Xu nodded.
"Not only that, they didn't give us a closing date. We were worried that this store would finally become famous, but it would be closed due to inspections, which would ruin its reputation and ruin the store."
"No problem."
Shen Yuerong said, "Since this is the order from above, then you should just follow their orders and don't disobey them casually to avoid hurting innocent people. If there are any other problems, I will naturally handle them on your behalf."
After receiving Shen Yuerong's order, several managers knew what to do and dispersed.
Shen Yuerong sighed and looked at the account items in front of her, feeling somewhat helpless.
"This prince's desire for revenge is too strong. It's only been less than half a day, and he wants to close my shop completely."
"Miss, do you have a way to break the impasse?"
Shen Yuerong shook her head, "Of course I didn't. Even when I testified for him in the court, it was just because I was brave at the moment. I didn't expect that there would be any consequences for me."
Shen Yuerong just felt sorry for Chi Mu. She didn't want him to be framed for no reason even though he had done everything personally, so she sat down to testify in public.
"Then let's go and ask the prince for help."
Qinghua was also a little worried. "Although life at home is much better now, we still have to rely on these shops. If they are closed for a long time, we will still owe them some money."
This shop is closed, but the salary of the waiter still has to remain as usual.
"There's no need to alarm him about this matter. I will naturally find a way to let the prince let it go."
This prince is only known for his virtue, but in reality he is a vindictive person.
"Send someone to ask for an audience with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the name of the Shen family."
"yes."
…
East Palace.
The prince looked at the invitation on the ground and said in a mocking tone, "What kind of person is the Shen family? They feel the same way as me, so I will let them know who is worth following."
He threw the invitation aside and instructed the person in front of him, "When you return to the Shen family, tell them that I can see her, but I am busy with work and don't have a specific time. Ask her to come to the mansion tomorrow and wait. I will meet her when I am free."
"yes."
The servant passed these words to Shen Yuerong without missing a word.
"Isn't this a naked attempt to make things difficult for you, Prince? If he doesn't say he's free, will Miss have to wait at the door all the time? The weather is getting hotter and hotter now..."
Prince.
Shen Yuerong stroked the paper in her hand, "It doesn't matter, it won't take too long anyway."
Even if the prince intended to negotiate, he chose the wrong person.
Shen Yuerong followed his instructions and waited at the gate of the East Palace early in the morning.
I watched the prince go out to court and come back.
Since she was not summoned, she just stood at the door without moving.
Until the third day.
The prince looked at her who appeared at the door before dawn and spoke with interest, "Miss Shen, you are really a heroine. You have been getting better and better every day for three consecutive days. I can't match you."
"The Crown Prince has given me an order, so naturally I cannot slack off. I have no choice but to come and bother you every day. I beg you to forgive me."
He rubbed his eyebrows, turned around and walked into the East Palace.
"Let's go together."
Shen Yuerong moved her numb feet, then followed the prince into the East Palace.
The East Palace is intricately decorated, which is more eye-catching than the royal palace.
The prince sat in the middle chair, playing with the teapot in his hands, his eyes looming over her.
"I don't see Miss Shen very often. In the past... I only knew that Miss Shen was brave enough to break into the military camp as a woman and take care of thousands of soldiers in the camp. She was also tender and gentle like a woman. For the general, she was willing to destroy her legs. This kind of tenacity is really enviable."
"I only do what I think is right, both in the past and now."
"You were so affectionate to the general before, but now you are so protective of the prince. What's going on? Are you in love with the prince?"
Shen Yuerong nodded without disguising.
"My relationship with the General's Mansion is a thing of the past. I have no connection with him anymore. Please don't mention me with those people anymore, Your Highness."
"It seems that you two are indeed resentful of each other. This matter is your fault."
The prince looked up and said, "I gave Madam Du to him because I thought that the borderland would be hard and everything would go smoothly with a woman by his side. I never thought that I would regret the marriage between you and him. This is my fault."
"If they were truly in love, I would not separate from him even if he had more concubines. After all, it is because we were deeply in love with each other that we lost our love for each other."
She spoke again, "I came to see the prince not to discuss the matter of the general's mansion with him, but... for the sake of the Shen family's shop. In the court, I just said a fair word, and His Royal Highness the Prince had the Shen family's shop closed, cutting off the livelihoods of so many people."
"Miss Shen, please don't say that. I have always been known for my virtue. I wouldn't even step on an ant to death, so how could I implicate others in the Shen family for no reason? Moreover, what Miss Shen said in the court, I think about it carefully now, and I think there are reasons for each of them. It was really me who went too far at the beginning."
"Are you admitting your mistake?"
"I just want to tell Miss Shen that the Shen family's shop has nothing to do with me. If Miss Shen comes here for this reason, I can only let her return empty-handed."
What a cunning man.
If he hadn't hinted at it, the shop would never have been closed, and the person in charge in the capital would never have risked offending the prince.
"I am a businessman, and I know very well that... people are attracted by benefits. It was me who offended you in the court, not the people of the Shen family. I hope that Your Highness will show mercy and let your subordinates spare them. As for how Your Highness wants to treat me, I will leave it to Your Highness."
"You are such an interesting woman!"
The prince waved his hand and asked the butler to come up and whispered a few words in his ear.
"It's just that the people below want to vent their anger on my behalf. I've already said that this matter ends here."
