Chapter 227: A Little Too Leniency

Jiang Jiu was watching in amazement.

I thought it was a family ethics drama, but it turned out to be a revenge drama.

Jiang Jiu really wanted to know how this little maid took revenge.

But since it is someone else's private matter, even if Jiang Jiu wants to know, he can't just go in front of them and watch.

The little girl left, leaving the woman lying on the ground, and it took her a long time to get up.

Staggering back.

As they walked, suddenly, the woman shouted towards the sky.

"Jiang Jiu, you rotten woman, I hate you..."

Jiang Jiu was ready to go back, but unexpectedly he heard his own name.

I stood there in a daze for a long time before I thought that maybe it was a coincidence.

After returning to the inn, I had a sound sleep without any dreams.

The next day, the weather was clear. The more Jiang Jiu looked at the familiar streets, the more he felt as if he had been here in a dream.

Instead of rushing on my way, I paid five days' rent here first.

"It feels very comfortable here. Let's stay here for a few days."

Jiang Jiu took Taohua downstairs to go shopping.

Yun Shu was packing upstairs when Lu An appeared in front of her without her knowing.

"His Majesty said this is a place the princess is familiar with, so we should send more people to follow her. If the princess faints for no apparent reason, we must take good care of her."

Yun Shu was a little surprised: "A place that the princess is familiar with? The princess grew up in Southern Xinjiang. This place is west of Sucheng. How can it be a familiar place?"

But how could a little girl like her refute what His Majesty said?

After packing up, she quickly followed Taohua and went shopping with Jiang Jiu.

Coincidentally, Jiang Jiu came to a rouge shop and found a wide variety of rouge.

Knowing that modern people have come to this world and created a certain amount of wealth, Jiang Jiu is no longer surprised.

I bought a box of rouge, and unexpectedly I ran into the woman who was beaten by a man yesterday.

The woman still had the same hair bun, but she had changed into clean clothes and had washed her face very cleanly.

Who would have thought that as soon as she stepped into the rouge shop, she was ridiculed by the young lady in the shop.

"Hey, isn't this our boss's sister? Why is she so rude? Tsk tsk, who hit her in the face? She looks so pitiful."

"Sister Jiang, you didn't come to our shop to buy rouge, did you? Our rouge is expensive, you can't afford it, let's go, let's go."

Jiang Mingyue was chased away by the young lady in the store.

Before Jiang Jiu was ready to stand up for her, the store owner came out and it was none other than the little girl who made fun of the woman yesterday.

"How dare you come here? Do you have money to buy the rouge we have here?"

Jiang Mingyue was also a bit arrogant. She didn't say anything when she was driven away, but she took out a few small coins from her sleeve pocket.

"I have silver..."

Xia Zhi snorted coldly: "One or two taels of silver? Buy some rouge to cover the wound on your face. You don't want to go back to the mansion to ask Madam Jiang for money again, do you?"

"Poor Madam Jiang, now that you have an adopted son, you still have to raise a married daughter like you. How pitiful."

Jiang Jiu finally couldn't help it: "Why do you have to ridicule this girl? She didn't spend your money..."

Xia Zhi glanced at Jiang Jiu indifferently without saying anything. Instead, he went into the shop, took out a box of red rouge powder, gave it to Jiang Mingyue, and asked for the silver.

Jiang Mingyue looked at Jiang Jiu deeply, and left without even saying thank you.

Peach Blossom also looked puzzled.

"My lord, this lady is really powerless. You spoke for her. Why doesn't she thank you?"

Jiang Jiu waved his hands: "Forget about her, let's buy some rouge and powder."

Jiang Jiu took Taohua and Yunshu to the store and did a lot of shopping. He not only bought things for himself, but also bought some for Taohua and Yunshu.

It cost him thirty taels of silver before he was able to stop.

While Taohua and Yunshu were choosing rouge, Jiang Jiu, who loved to gossip, always felt that the owner was familiar. When he saw that the word "Fu" on the owner's dress was upside down, he felt even more familiar with her.

"Ms. Shopkeeper, why do you dislike that woman so much?"

Xia Zhi was originally a chatterbox. When she followed Jiang Jiu, she was the one who talked the most.

But since arriving in the capital, Xia Zhi was left alone in a boat by Jiang Jiu to manage the accounts, and he had less contact with Jiang Jiu.

Later, when Jiang Jiu died and Zhao Zhuoxi became emperor, she returned from the capital to Xiang County and managed the accounts of the shops in Xiang County.

Hearing Jiang Jiu's question, she snorted coldly: "There must be something hateful about pitiful people."

"If your master had ever been bullied, you would be angrier than I am."

Taohua nodded heavily: "Princess, if anyone dares to bully you, Taohua will fight that person to death."

Jiang Jiu asked again: "Who is she?"

Xia Zhi: "I used to be the daughter of Xiangxian County Magistrate, Jiang Mingyue. Magistrate Jiang is my master's distant uncle. After my master's family got into trouble, he took refuge with him.

I never thought that I would be bullied by Jiang Mingyue since I was a child."

Jiang Mingyue, this name sounds so familiar.

Jiang Jiu remembered her dream, in which a stern woman was beating her daughter, who seemed to be named Jiang Mingyue.

"Where is your master now? Why don't you serve her?"

Xia Zhi's eyes instantly turned red: "My master is dead, leaving behind so many businesses. I have to take care of them for her."

It's really pitiful.

Jiang Jiu patted her shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, but your pendant is really special. Was it given to you by your master?"

Xia Zhi nodded and stroked the pendant gently.

Jiang Jiu understood. It seemed that her master was the time traveler.

Well, the person is gone, so she won’t pursue the matter anymore.

After inquiring about Jiang Mingyue's affairs, he felt that her current fate was truly retribution in this life.

"Xia'er, didn't we agree to go fly a kite? I've been waiting for you for quite a while, why haven't you come home yet..."

As they were talking, a man walked in from outside.

However, when he first came in and saw Jiang Jiu, he was as if he had seen a ghost.

Turn around and run.

Jiang Jiu didn't recognize him, but Tao Hua recognized him at a glance.

"You, you are the Sixth Prince?"

When Zhao Zhuoran was recognized, he did not run away but turned around with a dry smile.

Looking coldly at Taohua and Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu stared at him intently for a long time, and finally formed an impression in his mind.

"King Ling!! Aren't you dead?"

After a cup of tea, Zhao Zhuoran invited Jiang Jiu and others to have dinner at the restaurant next door, also to shut Princess Ronghua up.

"As you can see, there is no King Ling in this world. The moment the Emperor ascended the throne, King Ling was already dead."

When Jiang Jiu woke up, Zhao Zhuoran was already dead. The reason he recognized him was because of the original owner's memory.

Jiang Jiu had no grudge against him, but Zhao Zhuoran was very curious about Jiang Jiu.

"Princess, why are you here? I heard that His Majesty defeated Nanli and Nanli has now become a vassal state and has to pay tribute every year. His Majesty has avenged the princess, so it stands to reason that the princess should serve His Majesty."

It is obvious that Zhao Zhuoran knows much more than Jiang Jiu.

But Jiang Jiu couldn't say that she didn't like Zhao Zhuoxi. If she slapped His Majesty in the face in front of Prince Ling, His Majesty would tear her to pieces if he found out.

"These are all trivial matters. You don't need to worry about them. A dignified prince is in a remote town with a little girl... Do you need to explain?"
