Chen Jiabao picked a few flowers casually and took them back to deal with He Xiangdi. Anyway, He Xiangdi had no intention of looking at his flowers now.
Walking leisurely on the path, Chen Jiabao even had the mood to greet acquaintances passing by.
"Jiabao, go check on the magistrate. He suddenly came back in a rage for some reason."
Chen Jiabao held the flowers in his hands, looking surprised. "Really? What happened? I just left for a while."
The young man also sighed: "I don't know why I didn't dare to get close to him. Anyway, he is in a bad mood now. Jiabao, you should be careful."
"Okay, I got it. You go and play first." Chen Jiabao smiled meaningfully.
The young man just felt that Chen Jiabao was a little weird, but he didn't take it to heart. He had finally come out today, and he didn't want to waste his time here.
Seeing Chen Jiabao coming back, He Xiangdi was a little angry: "Where have you been?"
"Xiang Di, look at the flowers I picked for you. Why are you suddenly unhappy? Tell me and I'll help you vent your anger."
Chen Jiabao handed him the flowers in his hand, and He Xiangdi threw them on the table, and the fragile petals scattered all over the floor.
Chen Jiabao took a look, then sat down beside He Xiangdi, and asked the ladies who followed him to leave. For a moment, there were only the two of them left in the room.
"Xiang Di, tell me what happened."
Listening to Chen Jiabao's gentle voice, He Xiangdi felt as if he had found someone to rely on.
"It's still this hair crown." He said as he tried to take off the hair crown rudely, but ended up hurting his scalp. He Xiangdi's face became even uglier.
"Hey, don't move. Why are you angry with yourself?" Chen Jiabao hurriedly stopped He Xiangdi's movements, then gently took off the hair crown and placed it in front of He Xiangdi.
He Xiangdi was now angry at the sight and reached out to smash it, but was stopped by Chen Jiabao again, "Xiangdi, calm down. If you smash it, how are you going to explain to the magistrate?"
When He Xiangdi heard this, his face changed and he thought of what his father had said to him, and then he endured it.
Seeing that He Xiangdi didn't say anything, Chen Jiabao looked at He Xiangdi's personal attendant, who had been following He Xiangdi.
"The young master saw that the young master of the Ruan family had a hair crown of the same style, so..." The young servant saw that He Xiangdi's expression was getting uglier and uglier, and did not dare to say anything more.
Chen Jiabao was of course well aware of the cause of the incident, and seeing that He Xiangdi was so understanding, he felt that his efforts were not in vain.
"It's this matter. I didn't expect Ruan Zhu to have one too. It seems that the Ruan family really loves him."
He Xiangdi became even more angry when Chen Jiabao said the same thing: "How come even you think I'm not as good as a lowly merchant?"
Chen Jiabao's expression was a little ugly for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself: "No, Xiang Di, you misunderstood me."
"Then what do you mean?" He Xiangdi's temper was obviously spoiled, a typical brainless person.
"Everyone in Qingping Town knows that the Ruan family treats Ruan Zhu well. Whenever there is something good, Master Ruan will get it for Ruan Zhu. I'm afraid this hair crown is one of them." Chen Jiabao deliberately said that the hair crown that Han Xiao gave to the young master was given by Master Ruan.
As expected, He Xiangdi's face darkened again. Chen Jiabao continued, "But Xiangdi, you don't have to worry. We all know that the county magistrate loves you. Moreover, the county magistrate is an honest official. I believe that it must have taken a lot of effort for him to obtain such a jade crown. The Ruan family is different."
He Xiangdi suddenly remembered that his father seemed to have extended an olive branch to the Ruan family, but was rejected by the Ruan family. He Xiangdi felt even more embarrassed. The Ruan family obviously looked down on them.
How dare a small merchant family treat them so lightly?
He Xiangdi became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He picked up the teacup on the table and threw it hard to the ground, sending broken pieces splattering all over the floor.
Chen Jiabao signaled the waiter with his eyes to clean it up quickly.
Then he took He Xiangdi's hand and said, "The Ruan family is the richest family in Qingping Town. There's nothing we can do about it. It's okay. Since Xiangdi likes it, I'll ask my brother. He has some friends in the capital."
He Xiangdi's expression brightened up when he heard this, but then he thought of the hat the young master was wearing and felt unhappy: "Humph, this Ruan Zhu, it seems he needs to be taught a lesson, otherwise he won't know who's in charge here!"
Chen Jiabao's evil plan succeeded, and he spoke compliments to He Xiangdi without paying any money.
He Xiangdi was coaxed into happiness, and then Chen Jiabao sent someone to take out another jade crown. Although it was not as good as the one in Wanbao Tower, it was still pretty good.
He Xiangdi looked somewhat reluctant, but still put it on his head.
Chen Jiabao casually asked He Xiangdi while fixing her hair, "Xiangdi, how do you want to punish Ruan Zhu? But don't go too far. After all, Ruan Zhu's father is here. You should at least give him some face. A small punishment will be enough."
He Xiangdi's face was full of disdain. What could the Ruan family do to her? She was going to be the Crown Prince's consort in the future, so why should she be afraid of a small Ruan family?
Since Ruan Zhu is so arrogant, don't blame him for being cruel.
Thinking about the scene just now in the pavilion, He Xiangdi had a vicious idea in his heart, and then whispered in Chen Jiabao's ear: "Since Ruan Zhu likes to attract attention so much, then let him be the focus of everyone today. Go and do something for me..."
After hearing this, Chen Jiabao's face was filled with surprise, and he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Xiang Di, isn't this a bad idea?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. Just listen to me and do it." After saying that, he waved his hand impatiently and asked Chen Jiabao to go out.
