Because she wanted to manage King Yi's farm, Chen Liyue had been very busy recently.
Although she had followed her mother to learn the ways of doing business for a period of time, those shops were already there and her mother had managed them well before, so she didn't bother with them. But this matter was different. Shen Liyue had never run a farm before, so she often went out these days to visit nearby farms.
Shen Liyue looked at the nearby farm and had a rough idea in her mind.
When I came back that day, as soon as I walked through the second gate, I met He Yinxue who had just returned from paying her respects to Mrs. He.
He Yinxue has stayed indoors ever since Chen Lijiao came to her house and started fighting. He was afraid that Chen Lijiao would have a reputation for jealousy before marriage, so she asked a doctor to examine He Yinxue's face. After a few days of treatment, the wound on her face was reduced to a shallow mark, which could no longer be seen after she put on makeup.
This day was the first time that He Yinxue went out to pay her respects to the He family after she recovered from her injury.
When He Yinxue saw Shen Liyue, she stopped and greeted Shen Liyue.
Shen Liyue nodded and was about to go back to her room, but He Yinxue stopped her vaguely.
"Now that this is the case, are you satisfied, cousin?"
Shen Liyue turned her head to look at her, "What do you mean by this, cousin? I don't understand."
He Yinxue smiled and said, "Cousin, didn't you painstakingly plan that play just for today's result?"
"Oh."
Before Shen Liyue could speak, Lian Dong snorted. Shen Liyue turned around and saw Lian Dong rolling his eyes.
Shen Liyue glared at Lian Dong and said to He Yinxue, “I really don’t understand what my cousin said. If there is nothing else, I will go back to my room first.”
He Yinxue pulled Shen Liyue and whispered, “Don’t you have anything to say about the fragrance in my room on the day of the hairpin flower banquet, cousin?”
"What did I say?" Even though Shen Liyue didn't want to get involved with her, she really hated He Yinxue's aggressiveness.
"Cousin, do you want me to say that justice is clear and retribution will come?"
He Yinxue's face turned pale, she twisted her handkerchief in her hands and was unable to speak.
Shen Liyue stopped looking at her and went back to her room.
After returning to the room, Yuzhou felt a little worried.
"Miss, Miss Xue asked this question today, which means she knows that it was us that day..."
Shen Liyue frowned slightly.
"That was originally from her, we just used it on her!" Lian Dong said angrily, "If the young lady hadn't been alert and discovered their trick, she would have been the one who fell into the trap!"
"If she tells the Second Madam about this, then we..." Yuzhou knew that what Lian Dong said was true, but he was still a little worried.
"No." Chen Liyue said, "If she tells others, it will definitely bring up the story of her and Chen Lijiao trying to frame me that day."
“Now that the marriage between Yong’an Marquis Mansion and Chen Lijiao has been finalized, He Yinxue can also marry into Yong’an Marquis Mansion as she wishes, so she won’t say anything.”
"I told you, her days are over."
Shen Liyue was not worried.
The memories of the past suddenly flooded into her mind. Shen Liyue did not have much hatred towards Shen Lijiao, her spoiled sister, but she had real hatred towards He Yinxue.
In her previous life, He Yinxue ignored her reputation and followed Fang Zhiran into battle, eventually winning back a position as a co-wife. In this life, with Chen Liyue's help, she no longer had to go to the battlefield, but only got the position of a concubine.
But He Yinxue wanted to marry Fang Zhiran, and this time she got what she wanted.
In her new life, Shen Liyue no longer had to marry into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, but she had no idea why the Shen family split up, and why the first branch of the family also split up.
Chen Liyue didn't understand what was going on in the court, nor did she have access to it. All she could do was to run her own shop well. She wanted to be rich, even richer, rich enough to give her parents a way out. If something unexpected happened one day, she would ask her father to resign. What did the official position mean? What did reputation mean?
Compared to life, it's nothing.
Chen Liyue cheered up and asked Lian Dong to grind the ink. She wanted to write down all the experiences she had accumulated from observing the surrounding villages in the past few days.
Lu Yun bit the pen in pain in the palace.
This was the homework assigned to her by the Queen.
Although the princess didn't need to go to the Imperial Academy like the prince, she couldn't be illiterate. But Lu Yun really didn't like these literary things. Every time she picked up the pen, she was filled with bitterness and hatred.
Just as he was suffering, Lu Xingzhou arrived. Today, the Empress summoned him to the palace, saying there was something important going on. But when he arrived, she simply pressed him on when he was going to get married. In the past, she'd just been asking, but today, the Empress pulled out a booklet listing all the young ladies of marriageable age from the families of officials of the third rank and above, and demanded he pick one.
Lu Xingzhou had no way to refuse, so he had to accept it. He asked his personal servant to accept the business card and said he would take a good look at it when he got home.
The Queen then let him go. After leaving the Queen's place, Lu Xingzhou went around to Lu Yun to see her.
Lu Xingzhou was surprised to see Lu Yun writing. When he got closer and saw the words written by Lu Yun, he couldn't help but sigh.
"They say handwriting reflects a person's character, but your handwriting has nothing to do with your appearance."
Lu Yun looked up, aggrieved: "I don't like these..."
Lu Xingzhou shook his head. "Although women don't need to rule the country and bring peace to the world, what will you do if you find a talented and eloquent husband in the future, but you can't even say a word to him?"
Lu Yun suddenly became nervous, "Really? Then he..." He realized he had said something wrong halfway through and his face turned red.
Lu Xingzhou became interested after hearing this half sentence, "Why, our Yun'er has found someone in her heart?"
Lu Yun's face was so red that it looked like blood was dripping out.
"No, no, my royal brother, please stop talking nonsense."
"Why are you still hiding it from my brother?" Lu Xingzhou became interested. "If you really have a lover, then go and ask Father and Mother for permission. How difficult would it be to issue an imperial decree?"
Lu Yun waved her hand. "That's not right. After all, you don't know the other person's feelings. If they don't want to, you'll end up being a couple of grudges."
Lu Xingzhou thought that although Lu Yun was young, he was very thoughtful.
In the end, love is about mutual affection.
As he was speaking, Lu Xingzhou realized that there was a fragrance in Lu Yun Palace today, the same as the smell on that person.
Looking up, I saw white smoke rising from a lotus-shaped incense burner, which was sweet and warm.
"Did you change the incense today? I haven't smelled it here before." Lu Xingzhou asked Lu Yun.
"Yeah." Lu Yun also looked up at the incense burner. "Li Yue gave it to me. I smelled her scent that day and said it was nice, so she sent two packs over."
Seeing that Lu Xingzhou was rarely interested in these little things, Lu Yun said, "I have some more here. Can I bring some back for you?"
Lu Xingzhou wanted to say yes, but then he thought about the sweet fragrance and it would be inappropriate for him to smoke it, so he waved his hand and said no need.
So he turned to Lu Yun and asked, "Why don't you ask Miss Chen to go to the manor with you tomorrow?"
