The sudden cessation of activities made Fu Hengyu in front of him a little confused.
"Why are you suddenly..."
Fu Hengyu looked at her. He didn't expect that the person in front of him was about to fight with him, but suddenly became so quiet, as if a pot of boiling water suddenly cooled down.
"I...I may have said something wrong just now. I apologize to you, Rong'er. I am doing this for the good of our family. I am doing this for your own good. That's why I...I know you are helpless. I will always stand by your side and will never leave you alone."
Standing by my side?
That's ridiculous.
"Kill her..."
She still remembered what he said in front of Du Wan the day before.
Shen Yuerong laughed a little. She looked at the man in front of her, "You have been back for so long, you probably haven't checked the accounts of the General's Mansion yet..."
Fu Hengyu was a little stunned, not knowing why the topic suddenly turned to this.
"I know all the accounts of this general's mansion by heart, because I have personally taken care of everything in the general's mansion over the years. My husband, this is a gift I prepared for you. I want to tell you that I can take good care of my mother and my younger siblings even without you."
Not to mention the current financial situation of the General's Mansion, even all the connections of the General's Mansion in the capital, as well as all the dealings with the wives and daughters of the ministers, were handled by Shen Yuerong alone.
It is precisely because of Shen Yuerong's attentiveness that women in the entire capital city never feel ashamed of the general's mansion.
"I know you suffered a lot while fighting outside. Du Wan was with you all those years. You naturally love her. Now that she's pregnant, it's normal for you to feel even more distressed. But I'm your wife, and I've been alone in an empty house for three years. When you came back, you hid in Du Wan's yard. I'm really sad."
Her heart was broken, and now she felt a little powerless.
"If my husband really doesn't like me and only likes sister Du Wan, then I can step aside and let her take over. Mother also feels that my handling of household affairs is not appropriate."
"You've asked me for a divorce again. I was the one who was making trouble before. Mother and sister did go too far. I'll talk to them and ask them to be more restrained. As for Du Wan, she's not feeling well now, so she's naturally a little upset. You should visit her more often for the sake of the children. Please be more considerate of me."
Shen Yuerong did not reply, but slowly moved herself towards the room.
Seeing her like this, Fu Hengyu never personally helped her back like before, but just turned around and left.
The love of youth, or perhaps it was a false love, came to an end.
When Qinghua heard the sound of the wind and rushed over, he saw his young lady lying in the quilt, trembling and crying.
"Miss."
Some people can't bear to speak up, but they don't know how to persuade them.
After a long time, Shen Yuerong finally stuck her head out from under the quilt.
From her red eyes and messy makeup, Qinghua could tell at a glance that she had just cried.
"Miss."
"Please help me with my makeup."
Shen Yuerong interrupted Qinghua's comfort, now she had more things to do.
"good."
Qinghua had very skillful hands and quickly recombed her hair, which made Shen Yuerong very satisfied.
"You have such skillful hands, but they are just for combing my hair. It's a pity to leave them outside."
"Miss, I am willing to comb your hair for the rest of my life."
Shen Yuerong took her hand and said, "In the past, I was busy with many things, so I never set my eyes on you. But the way you defended me in front of the old lady that day reminded me of a lot. Do you want to... try to do some small business on your own?"
Shen Yuerong looked at the blue and white porcelain in front of her. Her face was still as youthful and tender, but... her result was not good.
"Miss, are you trying to chase me away? I don't want to leave. I have been by your side all these years. How can I..."
Shen Yuerong took out a hairpin from the table and put the pen next to her ear, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if you want to leave, I won't let go of your hand easily."
Chen Yuerong put the difference on her hair, "After leaving the general's mansion, we need to have something to eat and drink, but... you and I can't just rely on the dowry to live off the land, we still need to have some skills."
"Miss, are you still planning to open some shops yourself?"
She nodded. "That's all for the future. Go to the pharmacy in a few days and get me everything in the prescription."
"good."
Palace.
Chi Mu stood alone in front of the window. It was so late at night, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. It was so beautiful that it made him miss the day when he just returned to Beijing.
The woman's eyes were still bright and charming. Although she had become someone else's wife, she was still exactly the same as when she was young.
"Your Highness, someone from the pharmacy reported that the maidservant next to the general's wife is buying Huilian. I wonder what she's going to do with it?"
"Huilian?"
He had never heard of the name of this medicinal herb, so naturally he didn't know what it was used for.
"If she wants it, you give it to her."
"But the people in the pharmacy said that this medicine is not produced in the Central Plains, and only one bead is obtained in a year. But the general's wife asked for three beads. If I give them all to that lady, I'm afraid that I will need them..."
"Give it to her first, don't worry about me."
After receiving the master's order, although he was reluctant in his heart, he never disobeyed it.
Shen Yuerong accompanied Qinghua into the pharmacy the next day, but she never expected that a new opportunity would arise.
Looking at Hui Lian on the table in front of her, Shen Yuerong's eyes were shining.
"This lotus... is in excellent condition, exactly as described in the book. Shopkeeper, I wonder... how many do you have left? I want them all."
"You seem to be someone who understands the market. You should know... this Huilian is not an easy item to come by. I'm afraid you can't afford the price."
Shen Yuerong took out three thousand taels of silver from her sleeve.
"I believe that... everything has a price. These three thousand taels are my deposit. If you think it's not enough, I can increase it."
Shen Yuerong waved her hand and gave away three thousand taels, but the shopkeeper in front of her was in a dilemma.
"I do have three plants here, but these three thousand taels..."
He looked upstairs with a somewhat vain look, then sighed, "You'll have to negotiate the price with my master."
Shen Yuerong was a little dazed and looked up, but she only saw a man on the second floor.
"good."
Qinghua was about to push her upstairs, but was stopped by someone standing at the stairs.
"This is?"
Shen Yuerong looked at the owner of the medicine shop in a strange way, "I'm sorry, Miss, our master only wants to see you."
This meant that she had to go alone.
"But...Is it inappropriate for him and I to be alone? I am not mobile, so I have to...Please be flexible."
The owner of the drugstore in front of him shook his head, looking as if he would never change.
She sighed, feeling extremely helpless.
