Chapter 334 Xiao Qingyuan, it's time for you to take your medicine.
Xiao Qingyuan's tone revealed a ruthless edge: "Since Mother says I'm a scoundrel, then I'll be a scoundrel to the end! You like Shen Wantang, right? Then I'll refuse to consummate our marriage! What can you do if you're biased towards her? She'll never be able to give birth to my child!"
Princess Ning stared at him in disbelief. For a moment, she even felt that she no longer recognized her son; he had become unrecognizable!
"Mother probably doesn't know, but Shen Wantang confessed to me, saying how much she liked me. She only put on this aloof act to get my attention. She's so hypocritical!"
"Oh, right, she even put her wedding dress back on and covered herself with a veil. She asked me to lift the veil for her. After I pulled off the veil, she was overjoyed, thinking that I was finally willing to lift her veil!"
"How pitiful! She's obsessed with becoming my wife! Too bad, I can't let her have her way!"
Princess Ning pointed at him and said, "You...you're insane! Shut up!"
"If I've really gone mad, it's because my mother drove me insane!"
Xiao Qingyuan sneered: "Everyone thinks that I, as the heir of the royal family, am of noble birth, living a life of luxury and ease, but in reality, I have to listen to my mother in everything. If anything goes wrong, I will be scolded by her! Being the heir of the royal family is meaningless!"
"Is it so great to be able to buy frozen lychees? First, Shen Wantang bought some to embarrass me, and now you're going to buy some to embarrass me too!"
"It's just silver, isn't it? I don't care about the Prince's money! I can earn it myself!"
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Princess Ning sat there, so angry she could hardly breathe.
Granny Quan quickly patted her back to calm her down: "Your Highness, please calm down. The young master is young and impetuous, and he has been misled by villains, so he spoke without thinking. Please don't take it to heart!"
Princess Ning burst into tears: "This wretched child! Anyone who knows him would think he's my own son, but anyone who doesn't would think he's an enemy! He's still blaming me for stopping him from marrying Chu Yanluo. Doesn't he already know what Chu Yanluo is like? Doesn't he think I did the right thing?"
Granny Quan could only try her best to comfort her: "The young master must know that you did the right thing, but he is just angry, so he naturally said whatever hurtful things he wanted to hear. Just don't take it to heart."
"You see, it's normal for the young master to feel resentful after being cut off from his money and left penniless. After all, he used to be a young master who could have anything he wanted, but now he can't even afford a frozen lychee. The difference is too great, and it's only natural that he finds it hard to accept!"
"Besides, didn't the young master say he wanted to earn money himself? That's a good thing! The young master will have something important to do in the future, and you won't have to bother hiring imperial physicians to teach him medicine!"
Princess Ning shook her head dejectedly: "What money can he earn? I'll be grateful if he doesn't cause me any trouble."
On the other side, after causing a scene at Princess Ning's place, Xiao Qingyuan went to Shen Wantang's courtyard to make a scene as well.
"Shen Wantang, you despicable person!"
Xiao Qingyuan stormed into the house, rushed up to Shen Wantang, and yelled, "You knew I wanted to buy frozen lychees, and you pretended not to give me the money in front of me, but then you secretly sent someone to buy frozen lychees behind my back! You're deliberately trying to disgust me and slap me in the face!"
Compared to his impulsiveness and irritability, Shen Wantang appeared exceptionally calm and composed: "I did buy the frozen lychees, but I didn't buy them behind the Prince's back. I bought them openly and honestly, and I used my own money. It didn't go through the Prince's account. What, if the Prince can't afford frozen lychees, he won't let others buy them either?"
"Why did you buy it right after I told you to? This is provocation!"
"What nonsense are you spouting, Your Highness? What makes you think you can provoke me? I've just never eaten lychees before, so I bought some to try. Don't make a big deal out of it. I'm quite busy, with a lot going on at the end of the year, so I won't keep you any longer. Go back and take care of Huayi!"
"Shen Wantang, are you jealous of Huayi?"
Shen Wantang was slightly taken aback: "What did you say? Did the young master bump his head while walking and lose his senses?"
"I won't consummate our marriage, nor will I lift your veil, yet I indulge in pleasure with Huayi every day. I spoil her rotten, and she even became pregnant with the first child of the Prince's mansion. That's why you hold a grudge and want to take revenge on me and Huayi!"
"Xiao Qingyuan, it's time for you to take your medicine."
"Let me tell you, your despicable tactics won't work on me! I don't care!"
"I can tell you care a lot, you're almost obsessed with it."
"I don't care! It's just lychees, right? I don't need your money-stained silver to buy them for Huayi!"
"What are you going to use to buy Huayi? Does the young master intend to sell himself?"
"What I use to buy is none of your business, I'm sure I can buy it! Besides, I'm sure I'll make a lot of money in the future, so if you don't try to please me now, you'll regret it later!"
Shen Wantang looked at him quietly: "Anyone can talk big. I thought the young master was a down-to-earth person, but it turns out he also likes to boast?"
I'm not exaggerating!
"Then show me the money you've earned. Don't start spouting nonsense in front of me before you've even made a single penny. It's quite embarrassing."
"you!!"
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and make some money! Oh, I don't want your money, it's Huayi. Isn't she still waiting for you to buy her frozen lychees? Don't disappoint her."
"snort!"
Xiao Qingyuan snorted coldly, turned around and left.
However, after he left, he did not return to his own courtyard to look at the painting. Instead, he took Moji out of the palace and went to Qingyun Tower.
Qingyunlou Restaurant is now in dire straits, with only a handful of people eating and drinking in the huge restaurant.
Among these people was Yuan Zheng.
Xiao Qingyuan saw Yuan Zheng, hesitated for a moment, and then walked up to Yuan Zheng.
Upon seeing him, Yuan Zheng spoke in his usual slightly ingratiating tone, "Young Master, what brings you here? It's been a long time since you've dined at Qingyun Restaurant. How about I treat you to some drinks today?"
His expression was as if nothing had ever happened, as if the woman standing between them meant nothing to him.
Xiao Qingyuan frowned and looked at him for a while before finally asking, "Do you have any ways to make money?"
Yuan Zheng smiled confidently: "Qingyuan, you've come to the right person! I, Yuan Zheng, may not be good at much, but when it comes to making money? No one can beat me!"
“My maternal grandfather was the richest man in Jiangnan. He taught my mother all his money-making skills, and my mother taught me. So, wouldn’t you say I have a family tradition of learning?”
"Come, Qingyuan, have a seat. Let's drink and chat! With me here, I guarantee you'll make a fortune, enough money to last a lifetime!"
Xiao Qingyuan gritted his teeth and sat down next to him.
Originally, after Yuan Zheng took advantage of his drunkenness to sleep with Chu Yanluo, he planned to never have anything to do with Yuan Zheng again for the rest of his life.
However, he no longer has any obsession with Chu Yanluo; now he is obsessed with making money!
