Looking at Jiang Ranli's slightly angry eyes, the Thirteenth Prince was stunned for a moment, and said after a while, "It is better for women to stay at home embroidering and playing the piano. It is better not to do things that are detrimental to their status by showing up in public."
This male chauvinist guy was actually called the Knight-King by later generations. What kind of Knight-King? He is more like the Narrow King, the narrow one!
Jiang Ranli was almost furious at what Thirteenth Prince said. She had always thought that the free and easy-going Thirteenth Prince was a very open-minded person, but she didn't expect that his thoughts were so narrow-minded.
Seeing Jiang Ranli glaring at him angrily, the Thirteenth Prince felt very aggrieved. What did he say wrong? Aren't women supposed to stay at home and take care of their husbands and children? There was no reason for them to show up in public.
Glancing at the two men in confrontation, Yinzhen couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips. His thirteenth brother had never suffered such a loss before. Moreover, this concubine of the ninth brother... What on earth did she want to do?
"How much silver is your shop worth?" Yinzhen suddenly asked the shop owner.
The shop owner was stunned when he heard this, and didn't understand why Yinzhen asked this. "Fourth Master, I don't know what you mean. If I rent it, it will be sixty taels of silver a year."
"Sixty taels of silver," Yinzhen repeated in a cold voice, and then his cold eyes shot towards the shop owner like torches, "How much silver do you think your life is worth?"
The homeowner was stunned when he heard this, and the fat on his face trembled unconsciously, "Fuck, I don't know what the Fourth Master means."
"Don't know?" Yinzhen's brows moved slightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
The homeowner turned pale and trembled like a sieve when he saw this. He fell to his knees and said, "Fourth Master, please spare me. I was blinded by greed and acted foolishly for a moment. Please spare me."
Jiang Ranli was still in a standoff with the Thirteenth Prince. When she heard the shop owner begging for mercy, she immediately glanced sideways in confusion. But no matter how she looked, she couldn't understand why the shop owner suddenly behaved like that.
"Do you want to know the reason?" Thirteenth Prince approached Jiang Ranli and asked.
"think".
"Are you still angry?"
"I'm angry."
After hearing this reply, the Thirteenth Prince opened his mouth but was speechless. He wanted to take this opportunity to reconcile with Jiang Ranli, but he didn't expect that the girl would not play by the rules at all.
Sighing helplessly, the Thirteenth Prince asked again, "How about I explain the reason to you and you don't get angry anymore?"
Jiang Ranli glanced sideways at the smiling Thirteenth Prince. To be honest, she was indeed angry about what he had said before, but she also knew that it was not his fault. That kind of thinking was given to him by this era. If she had to blame anyone, it was only this evil feudal society.
"Are you still angry?"
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, the Thirteenth Prince became a little anxious. He felt that Jiang Ranli was different from other women and very interesting, so he didn't want to have any unpleasantness with her.
"Okay," Jiang Ranli's clear voice reached the ears of the Thirteenth Prince, with a curved smile on the corner of his lips.
The Thirteenth Prince was stunned, and it took him a long time to realize that Jiang Ranli had agreed to his previous proposal.
"Li'er, you are just as carefree as I thought."
After a word of praise, the Thirteenth Prince began to explain why the shop owner knelt down and begged for mercy.
It turned out that the shop owner was very wealthy, but all that wealth was obtained through illegal activities.
Modern governments have very strict supervision over civilian weapons, and the Qing Dynasty was no exception. The law clearly prohibited the smuggling and private manufacture of a series of items such as armor, cannons, and muskets. However, the shop owner ignored the law and sold banned items privately for money many times.
Some time ago, Yinzhen was assassinated, and the assassins were holding muskets. By following this clue, the shop owner was nowhere to hide.
Fortunately, the muskets held by the assassins were not sold by the shop owner, but it was a fact that he had violated the law, so he was so panicked and begged for mercy at this time.
