Chapter 282 You have to live long enough to see your enemies live better than you
Old Prince An's face suddenly turned pale and cold, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The hand he was holding was trembling slightly, and his lips were shaking as he said in disbelief and coldness:
"How is that possible? I was clearly in control of the entire situation, how could I have lost so miserably?"
He can't lose, how could he lose to those bastards?
Shen Yunyue looked at him calmly and said with a double meaning:
"You've overlooked the human heart. The most uncontrollable thing is the human heart."
"Old prince, isn't it? Have you never betrayed someone in your life and felt guilty about that person for the rest of your life? Didn't that person also misjudge your heart?"
Shen Yunyue's words had hidden meaning.
Old Prince An did not dare to delve into the meaning of her words.
"I am upright and honest, and I have no regrets towards anyone, including the world." Old Prince An said angrily:
"Those scoundrels also want to use dirty tricks to deal with me? I will only make them die without any escape."
He tried to look fierce.
As long as he is not afraid, no one can deal with him.
Shen Yunyue put away the chess piece.
The look he gave Old Prince An was filled with murderous intent. "I hope you live a long, long time, so that you can see your enemies live better than you and the child you love."
"Everything you were proud of was destroyed."
After a pause, Shen Yunyue curled the corners of her lips into a sneer:
"Old Prince An, I'm very curious. How will you apologize in the future? I'm also curious if you'll still be so stubborn when that happens."
"Old Prince An, please don't have nightmares tonight."
After saying that, Shen Yunyue stood up and threw the chess piece in his hand into the grass.
Said coldly:
"Old Prince An, please go back. Remember, the cost of food, accommodation, nutrition, and medical treatment for these days totals 100,000 taels of silver. You must pay this money before you can leave."
Manager An, who was hiding nearby, almost couldn't breathe.
This Shen girl is definitely blackmailing.
He looked at Shen Yunyue with a bit of a headache. Would this girl ask him for another 1,500 taels of gold?
The old prince's eyes no longer had the naive look they once had. Instead, they were filled with a deep, unfathomable rage that carried a hidden meaning that was hard to fathom.
He tightened his clenched hands.
"Shen girl, do you know something?"
Shen Yunyue glanced at the place where the old steward An was staying and sneered:
"I don't know anything. It's just the advice the doctor gave you."
"Come here. Give her one hundred thousand taels of silver." Old Prince An stroked his beard and stared at Shen Yunyue with sharp and scrutinizing eyes.
Shen Yunyue was not at all nervous. If you are fierce, I will be even fiercer than you.
Who is afraid of whom?
"Old Prince, are you trying to repay kindness with enmity? I'm afraid your son won't be able to hold on to this position, so why don't you go back and support him?"
Old Prince An said sinisterly:
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Of course I am afraid. But isn't the ending predetermined?" Shen Yunyue raised her eyebrows calmly. "You showed me the white piece strangling the black piece, wasn't it just a warning to us?"
Shen Yunyue slowly walked away, and when she reached the gate, she turned around and said:
"Old Prince, I, Shen Yunyue, and he, Fu Xuanheng, are ready to take on the challenge. I'm afraid you'll be in for a headache this time."
She walked out of the yard without looking back, and only a cold voice floated out:
"Mr. An, don't forget your 1,500 taels of gold."
Manager An stumbled and fell to the ground.
Get up quickly.
He looked at Shen Yunyue with eyes full of admiration. Once upon a time, he was also like Shen Yunyue, not afraid of anyone.
Later, as money and status improved.
His edges were worn away, and he was afraid that everything he had gained would disappear into thin air.
Manager An came to the old prince with a hunched back.
The cloudy eyes are no longer clear.
Every wrinkle on his face told of the past that was too painful to recall. He tightened his hands in his sleeves.
He bent his head, "Master."
"Shen Yunyue is young and has a bad temper. Let's just treat her as a fart."
Old Prince An’s eyes darkened.
With murderous intent in his eyes, he said, "Hmph, do you think they can still live peacefully?"
Manager An's heart sank as he thought of the woman with bright eyes and white teeth.
He curled his lips bitterly.
"Master, this is her only bloodline."
Under the shade of the tree, Old Prince An's expression flickered. If she killed them, there would be no more of her blood relatives in this world.
"I have no regrets about what I have done." He closed his eyes. "That's all. It's my fault for being so infatuated with her."
"Don't let me get blood on some things."
If it was someone else, Manager An would naturally understand the meaning of not letting him get bloodstained.
But when it comes to Shen Yunyue and the others, Manager An just takes it literally.
"Master, go back." Old Steward An knew that it was not easy to kill the people from Yunheng Palace.
Fu Xuanheng is no longer the half-dead man who was struggling to survive.
"Walk."
When Prince An left.
A chatterbox mynah bird landed on Fu Xuanheng's windowsill, rolling its eyes and talking in a dry mouth.
Shen Yunyue fed it some water.
There was a cold look on his face. "After a little trick, you finally revealed your true colors."
Fu Xuanheng's knuckles turned white from his clenched fists.
Pursing her lips, she wanted to rush over and kill him. But that would be too easy for him.
"I'm just saying why Xuan Sheng and I can't stand him."
Shen Yunyue also found it strange. "If the relationship between you and Xuan Sheng is excusable, what's going on with Feng Xiaodao?"
Fu Xuanheng was also confused.
He called Anming, "Anming, send a message to Feiying Tower and ask them to send someone to check on Feng Xiaodao."
"yes."
An Ming clasped his fists and left.
Shen Yunyue glanced at him calmly, "Do you think Feng Xiaodao's identity is questionable?"
"Maybe."
When the two were talking.
Someone sent silver notes totaling 100,000 taels of silver, as well as 1,500 taels of gold for the old steward An.
Shen Yunyue accepted the silver notes and gold with peace of mind.
"I plan to take this opportunity to buy land."
Fu Xuanheng touched the gold and saw the mark engraved underneath the gold ingot.
The mark of Prince An's Mansion.
His eyes darkened. "Okay. Then I'll buy all the land at the foot of Taiping Mountain in Shihan County."
The Shihan County Magistrate is now extremely poor. If someone offers money to buy land, he won't give it much thought.
"Um."
Shen Yunyue turned and left.
The days are busy yet peaceful.
The Shihan County government office did not find any clues of theft in the backyard within a few days.
Instead, it caused everyone to complain.
Fu Xuanheng had someone do some tricks to lead the clues to Prince Rui and others who were building water conservancy projects a hundred miles away.
On the way back to Beijing, Prince An was on his way back to Beijing.
When he met Prince Li who was rushing back to the capital, he keenly discovered that the people around him were different from ordinary people.
He was repeatedly suppressed by Prince Rui.
He had long since lost his pride and hid his true thoughts in his heart.
Accompany them carefully and without being rude.
Under the intentional guidance of Prince An, he appropriately showed magnanimity and ambition.
Shen Yunyue, who was far away in Baijia Village.
The day of planting rice has arrived.
The seedlings are growing well and it is time to transplant them.
At the foot of the back mountain.
The farmhands carefully dug up the seedlings and transplanted them to the paddy fields below Baijia Village.
Chen Xiaogou came out of the rice paddy. A leech was sucking blood from his leg.
He frowned and slapped his calf.
The leech fell to the ground.
Chen Xiaogou stood up, picked up a stone and smashed the leech to death.
He walked to Shen Yunyue's side at the edge of the rice field.
Bending slightly, "Mrs. Dong."
Shen Yunyue nodded lightly, and now all the farm work was handed over to Chen Xiaogou.
He was paid one or two taels of silver every month.
If you do well, you will get a bonus at the end of the year. Nowadays, most people in Baijia Village are long-term workers of the Fu family.
Butcher Jiang also didn't go to town to sell meat.
After slaughtering the pig, the pigs were not only supplied to the Fu family, but also sold in retail in the village.
The villagers' living conditions have improved and they like to eat meat more than before.
It's only been two or three months.
Some people are already planning to renovate the house.
Shen Yunyue was watching the villagers transplanting rice seedlings. When she heard Chen Xiaogou coming over to talk, she looked away.
"How many acres can we transplant today?"
Chen Xiaogou raised his eyes and calculated, "In reply to the boss's wife, we can transplant thirty acres of land today."
"It will be faster tomorrow. We can finish planting the land in about three days."
Shen Yunyue nodded calmly, "Plant glutinous rice in the rice paddies."
"Yes, it has been arranged."
Chen Xiaogou thought about it and rubbed his hands nervously.
"Madam, there are people from other villages who want to come here to find a job."
"Someone also asked me if I needed to buy a maid?"
Chen Xiaogou knew that there were not many people serving in the Fu family, and most of them were people working outside.
Shen Yunyue didn't think much about it. "I'll buy a few if there are suitable ones. But I'll give priority to those who can read and write."
“The price is also higher than others.”
She is also indirectly encouraging everyone to let girls study, "My family needs many girls, and my parents' family also needs many."
"Of course I like people who can read and write."
Chen Xiaogou couldn't help but be shocked. How could studying be useful for a girl?
“Most of the children who can be sold are illiterate.”
Shen Yunyue frowned slightly, "Then choose those who are smart, clever and reliable, and give priority to those who can read."
