Chapter 109 Let's see what's in the manor.
Neither Xiao Ruanruan nor Princess Yongxin wanted to say more about this issue.
They also noticed that Consort Ruan seemed to be particularly good at interpersonal relationships.
She probably had her own thoughts about it too!
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We know what we're doing."
No matter how much trouble they cause, they can't escape that person's control. We just need to do our own thing. Xiao Ruanruan quickly changed the subject.
All she wanted was to earn money peacefully, and ideally, have the opportunity to board a large ship of the Pingnan Army and travel overseas.
As for the matter of that position in the capital, the Marquis of Anyang's mansion has no intention of getting involved.
Not everyone can be rich and enjoy such a life.
As long as the Marquis of Anyang's household has endless money to earn...
Song Zhimian did not continue the topic.
She is now certain that Consort Ruan is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.
She wanted to use everyone around her who could be used; perhaps the King of Wu was also eyeing the throne!
Thinking about it this way, Song Zhimian suddenly wanted to watch a big show.
What kind of evil deeds is the King of Wu planning to commit under the guise of the King of Zhao...?
"Song Zhimian, you have a stable source of income now. How does it feel? Are you a little excited? Is your heart pounding? Are you already thinking about how to spend it?"
Princess Yongxin, who had just finished her snack, asked with a smile.
Song Zhimian nodded seriously.
"How did you know? When I found out I could make a lot of money, even before the money was in my hands, I had already planned how to spend it!"
"How do you plan to spend it?" Xiao Ruanruan and Princess Yongxin were both very curious.
Song Zhimian is a female official in the palace. What places in the Eastern Palace could possibly cost money?
Given Song Zhimin's current status, she probably doesn't need to give gifts to anyone...
"When I get older, my father won't be a threat to me anymore, so I'll shamelessly beg for a favor to leave the palace."
Then, I'll buy a large manor house in the suburbs of Beijing and live a solitary life tending to flowers and plants.
"Come visit me whenever you're free!" Song Zhimian said earnestly.
Xiao Ruanruan, Princess Yongxin...
Song Zhimian's meaning was practically stated outright: once she got rid of her father, she would go and live a good life...
"It won't be easy for you to leave the palace! Female officials... especially those in the Eastern Palace, will not be young even if they leave the palace."
Of course, if you manage to get to the position of Aunt Cui, that's still possible.
If Aunt Cui wants to leave the palace, that's something she can discuss with His Majesty.
"Song Zhimian, work hard, maybe you'll take over Aunt Cui's position someday!" Xiao Ruanruan encouraged Song Zhimian.
Song Zhimian nodded immediately.
"Yes, that's what I think too! Maybe His Majesty will see my loyalty and how well I've done, and let me leave the palace!"
Anyway, I don't want to think that much about it in my life.
First, think about what you have, don't dwell on what you've already lost, and strive to live on.
Secondly, think more about better things in the future, so that you will have motivation.
Maybe one day it will really come true!
"That's it... there's always hope!" Song Zhimian said earnestly.
Xiao Ruanruan and Princess Yongxin both nodded.
Yes, that makes sense!
People always have to look forward!
"Oh, there's been some movement in the north. I heard that General Shen is going to lead the Weiyuan Army to reclaim the two cities that were previously occupied by the red-haired barbarians."
"My father also had the merchant guild purchase a large quantity of medicinal herbs from various places and send them north," Xiao Ruanruan said casually.
Song Zhimian and Princess Yongxin both responded with an "oh".
After nearly a year of preparation, the battle in the North is finally about to begin.
...
The three chatted for a long time at Zixiao Pavilion until Xiao Jingjue finished his studies before they dispersed.
Song Zhimian was busy taking care of Xiao Jingjue with the eunuchs.
Princess Yongxin and Xiao Ruanruan also hurriedly went back.
We've been out for quite a while; it's time to go back.
On their way back, the two rode in Princess Yongxin's carriage.
While looking out the car window at the shops on both sides, Xiao Ruanruan talked with Princess Yongxin.
“This Song Zhimian… is really quite interesting!” Xiao Ruanruan said with a smile.
Princess Yongxin nodded. It was quite interesting.
"Actually, she had a tough time, having such a father..."
She's different from the two of us.
If anything happens to us and we find it troublesome, we each go back to our own homes, and I go to my maternal grandmother for help.
You should ask your doting parents for help.
Song Zhimian had to solve the problem on her own.
She walks slowly, step by step; if she takes a wrong step, it could be like falling into a quagmire.
"I really admire her!" Princess Yongxin said slowly.
Xiao Ruanruan nodded in agreement.
It was really tough, being all alone, every step forward was difficult.
"Well, now that you put it that way, I feel a little embarrassed to accept your money."
But I'm not willing to work for you for free! It's really frustrating!
After all, anyone in business knows that if I open this door, there will definitely be others gossiping behind my back.
I've opened this door, and I'm sorry to myself.
If I don't open it, I feel like taking your... no, I should say Song Zhimian and Lian Qiao's money is a bit too much to handle.
Right now, it feels like two little people are fighting inside my head.
I can take one, and I can have some conscience!
"Oh, this is so worrying!" Xiao Ruanruan sighed.
She was quite conflicted. She was responsible for collecting money when her mother managed the shop, but she didn't want to accept money from Song Zhimin now.
She always felt that both Song Zhimian and Lian Qiao must have had their own unavoidable difficulties.
Otherwise, what girl would want to enter the palace for no reason?
"Alright! Just keep accepting the money as usual! We'll be worried if you don't!"
Alright, we've arrived at the Marquis of Anyang's residence. You should get off the carriage now!
"Managing our shop well and ensuring we have more money than we can spend is the real priority."
After Princess Yongxin finished speaking, she tugged at Xiao Ruanruan, indicating that they had arrived at the Marquis of Anyang's residence.
...
Xiao Ruanruan got out of Princess Yongxin's carriage and let out a long sigh of relief.
Well, in just a short while, she had already made up her mind.
Since Song Zhimian and Lian Qiao are both having a hard time, I'll help them earn more money!
Of course, you should also take the money that is rightfully yours.
After all, I've had it pretty tough myself...
"Ruanruan! You finally remembered to come back!"
As soon as Xiao Ruanruan stepped into the gate of the Marquis's mansion, she heard a stern voice in her ear.
She turned her head and saw that it was her father, whom she had been hiding from for a long time.
Marquis Anyang and his wife both looked at Xiao Ruanruan with serious expressions.
Xiao Ruanruan quickly put on a smiling face.
"Father, Mother, why are you standing guard at the door!"
I just went out for a walk to clear my head and think about what we have in our mansion!
The Marquis of Anyang and his wife...
What does the Marquis of Anyang's mansion have?
Hehe, I'm not bragging, apart from those illegal items, the Marquis of Anyang's mansion is probably the family in the capital with the most treasures...
