At this moment, Wang Yuzhen wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground; this was just too embarrassing.
An Xiuyuan also felt extremely embarrassed. He glared at Wang Yuzhen, who was still in a daze, and said, "What are you still standing there for? Give the money back to them!"
Since An Xiuyuan had already spoken, Wang Yuzhen had no choice but to reluctantly take out the silver notes that she hadn't even warmed up yet and return them to the shopkeeper.
After receiving the silver notes, the shopkeeper did not immediately give them to Yunzhi. Instead, he looked at her and asked, "Your Highness, I would like to buy these blueprints. What do you think?"
“I’m not selling these blueprints.” Yunzhi shook her head, looked at the disappointed shopkeeper, and said, “But we can cooperate in another way.”
"I wonder what the other way Your Highness mentioned is?"
"Rumei, go and talk to the shopkeeper."
"yes!"
Ru Mei nodded, then turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Shall we find a place to discuss this in detail?"
"Alright!" The shopkeeper nodded, glancing at Wang Yuzhen, who seemed somewhat reluctant to continue watching the play.
Seeing that Wang Yuzhen had returned the silver notes to the shopkeeper, An Xiuwan was too ashamed to stay any longer. After glancing at Yunzhi, he pulled Wang Yuzhen into the carriage.
Before Wang Yuzhen could even settle in, he told the driver to leave. He didn't want to stay in that place for another second.
This was the first time in his life he had ever been so humiliated.
Seeing the couple flee, Yunzhi couldn't help but sneer.
The person involved left, the show was over, and the onlookers also left, leaving Yunzhi and Jiang standing at the door. The two looked at each other, then laughed.
Yunzhi sometimes really couldn't understand Wang Yuzhen's thought process, nor did she understand what she wanted to do by deliberately waiting at the door.
They say showing off your love too much will lead to a quick breakup. Isn't that true?
If Wang Yuzhen had left earlier, none of this would have happened. But instead, she stayed here, waiting for me to come out before leaving. And she even deliberately had An Xiuyuan come to pick her up, just to embarrass me.
How could she let Wang Yuzhen have her way?
She's always been the one to slap others in the face; she's never been slapped herself. So, Wang Yuzhen brought this on herself.
Thinking of the unpleasant look on An Xiuyuan's face when he left, Wang Yuzhen probably won't get away with it.
As expected, Yunzhi's guess was entirely correct. As soon as they returned to the manor, An Xiuyuan pulled Wang Yuzhen off the carriage and dragged her back to their courtyard.
Then, he closed the door and slapped Wang Yuzhen hard across the face.
"You shameless woman, look at the mess you've made! You've completely disgraced me. Yes, the money in our household isn't much, but we haven't skimped on your food or clothing. Why did you have to do something so shameful? If you want to embarrass yourself, fine, but why drag me into it?"
"Brother Xiuyuan, you scolded me? And you hit me?" Wang Yuzhen looked at An Xiuyuan in shock, never dreaming that he would hit someone.
"Hitting you is too lenient. If you continue like this, I won't hesitate to divorce you." An Xiuyuan said harshly, feeling extremely regretful.
Before, he was a marquis and thought Wang Yuzhen was perfect in every way. But now, when he no longer had his title and his household was struggling to make ends meet, he finally understood his father's good intentions.
Although Yunzhi was raised by merchants, she was the daughter of a minor official, but life in the mansion was never difficult with her around.
But now, he abandoned Yunzhi and married his beloved cousin, but his cousin didn't have a dowry, didn't know how to manage a household, and didn't know how to run a business; all she knew was romance and love.
