"Madam, this is what happened. A few bailiffs came over early this morning to do a patrol and then left without saying anything more."
"We are still doing our small business, and we also delivered all the vegetables and fruits to the palace. However, on the way back, we met a group of rich young men..."
"This group of young masters went to every stall and demanded that each stall hand over five taels of silver, otherwise they would overturn our stall."
"At first, there were a few vendors who didn't believe it, so they just overturned those stalls and beat people. Gradually, more and more vendors handed over their silver, including us. However, at that time, the rich young man actually wanted to bully Yan'er..."
"I couldn't stand it, so I said a few words to them. I never thought that these people not only took the five taels of silver, but also beat up the people at our stall. Look, our yard is full of everything they did after they chased us in!"
Qian Ruoyu suddenly realized that this matter was indeed related to her. It seemed that those people were the first to touch her maid.
Besides, Aunt Zhou is still protecting her Yan'er, so it seems that I have to help Aunt Zhou and others even more.
Qian Ruoyu took another look at the situation in the yard and found that several baskets of vegetables in the yard had all been overturned and even trampled on the ground.
The door and two windows in the yard were removed. It seemed that those rich young men were quite violent.
Qian Ruoyu thought that if she didn't punish them properly, it might be difficult for her to continue her small business in the future, let alone make some money from the palace.
So Qian Ruoyu asked directly.
"Auntie Zhou, did you see clearly which mansion those people came from?"
Aunt Zhou thought about it for a moment and nodded immediately.
"Well, reporting to the queen, I have been doing business here for so long, I know every young master in every mansion. Those people are the young master of Huangmenlang, the young master of the deputy chief priest of the Imperial College, and the sons of several gatekeepers..."
After hearing what Aunt Zhou said, Qian Ruoyu was even happier.
Because these so-called rich kids that Auntie Zhou mentioned, their elders’ official positions in their families are only sixth or seventh rank, so they are very easy to bully!
Therefore, Qian Ruoyu made the decision directly.
"Okay, since you can say it, that's great. This time, I will avenge you and me at the same time!"
"Can you think of a way to lure them out? This queen has a brilliant idea. If we can use it, we must teach them a good lesson and make them unable to leave their homes for at least half a year. What do you think?"
After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Aunt Zhou felt extremely happy, so she nodded to Qian Ruoyu quickly.
"Okay, Madam, I have also thought of a good way to lure them out... I will tell them that Yan'er wants to apologize to them, and I also want to compensate them with fifty taels of silver. Perhaps this method can lure them out..."
After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu immediately nodded happily. After all, this was indeed a wonderful method. She could use Yan'er and money to attract them all out.
Just at this time Yan'er returned to the yard with a few packets of medicine, and Qian Ruoyu hurriedly asked her to boil the medicine together.
While Yan'er was boiling the medicine, Qian Ruoyu told her the plan and asked Aunt Zhou and a few of her people to cooperate with her.
After discussing for half an hour, everyone set off.
Aunt Zhou took the fifty taels of silver given by Qian Ruoyu and went to the homes of those rich young men with a few of her people, while Yan'er was waiting at the back door of the palace.
Not long after Aunt Zhou and her people left, they came towards the alley with those rich young men.
Before this, Aunt Zhou had already taken them around the area for nearly three circles, almost making them dizzy.
"I say, old lady, do you know the way? Where is that little girl? If you don't let her come out to see us, do you want us to go see her?"
"If you don't know the way, you have to compensate us with 100 taels of silver. Don't think that these 50 taels of silver can get rid of us!"
Aunt Zhou said quickly and sincerely.
"Oh, young masters, how can you bring this girl to your house? She is already a virgin, if it gets out that she can enter your room so easily, I'm afraid her innocence will be lost..."
"This girl has prepared good wine and delicious food at home, just to entertain you guys and get to know you dignitaries. Maybe she has something to ask of you?"
When these young masters heard the five words "virgin", they immediately became excited!
So everyone followed Aunt Zhou excitedly, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the back door of the palace without even realizing it.
Aunt Zhou pointed to the back door and said.
"Okay, the girl is behind the door. After you go in, walk towards the path. The cobblestone path ends at the lake. There is a yard over there with Yueya Pavilion written on the door. The girl lives in the yard."
"The girl has cooked several dishes and prepared some good wine. I hope you guys can be nicer to her. She was frightened by you guys just now."
Several people nodded quickly, then went to the back door and entered one after another, without caring at all where they were.
Following Aunt Zhou's instructions, they came directly to the gate of Yueya Pavilion.
The door at the entrance of Yueya Pavilion was ajar and did not look completely closed, which made them even more excited and they felt a hint of mystery.
After all, with the official ranks of their fathers, perhaps their fathers were qualified to enter the palace, but they were not qualified to see the name and location of Yueya Pavilion, let alone enter the backyard of the palace.
As for them, that is even more impossible.
So they tiptoed into the yard one by one, trying to see Yan'er.
Yan'er herself is not bad looking, and is already above average to them.
After they entered the yard, they saw Yan'er standing at the door of the room, which made them even more excited.
"Oh, I didn't expect the young lady to be here! Young lady, here we come!"
"My dear, I am here too!"
