Everyone was so angry that they were out of breath. Several older shopkeepers quickly patted their chests. Kang Keren strode in from the door with his head held high and glanced at everyone's slightly surprised faces one by one.

"What? Only the officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps?" Kang Keren smiled, but this smile seemed a little strange to Gu Yunru. It was indeed completely different from before.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Manager Gu?" Kang Keren sat down next to Gu Yunru with a smile on her face. Gu Yunru felt a chill coming from her surroundings. "Kang Keren, I remember that your wife was doing well. Why did you suddenly sell pigs? Are you so short of money?"

Kang Keren's eyes were slightly raised, charming and seductive. She seemed to not take everyone seriously. Her eyes were as black as obsidian and as deep as the abyss. Her lips were slightly raised with a hint of sarcasm.

"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, I just want to see everyone panicking."

This sentence has made it very clear that her appearance is to openly challenge. Everyone looked at each other and could not think of a good way to deal with her.

"Mrs. Huang, our food court has finally opened smoothly, could you please not make things more complicated?" An old shopkeeper almost lost his dignity to beg her, but she just laughed with disdain on her face.

"Why do you say I'm the one causing the trouble?" Kang Keren's cold and arrogant eyes seemed to have no focus, and she exuded a solemn and cold aura, with a sarcastic look on her face. Seeing the sudden quiet atmosphere, Gu Yunru felt a sense of uneasiness and restlessness in her heart.

She asked everyone to leave first, leaving only her and Kang Keren sitting face to face.

"Keren, you're not doing this just to make things difficult for me, are you?"

There are no outsiders here, so she can probably tell the truth.

Kang Keren's face was full of gentleness and carelessness, and her thin lips curled up slightly, "Yes, I just want to make things difficult for you. Unless the government intervenes, I will have livestock on that street."

Raising livestock near residential areas is against the law, and I'm afraid local government officials will not agree to it. It's a pity that Huang Zijun has intervened, and I'm afraid the situation will not develop as smoothly as Gu Yunru imagined.

After hearing about this, Rong Zhen led people to demolish the nearby pig sty. This matter soon reached Kang Keren's ears, and his face gradually became angry. He looked at Gu Yunru and said, "Well, you actually took advantage of me not paying attention and had someone demolish the pig sty!"

"The devil is one foot high, but the Tao is ten feet higher. You have brought disaster upon yourself." Gu Yunru sneered. She had indeed led people to incite the people. After all, there was more than just a food street nearby. Kang Keren had brought it upon herself by doing this.

This incident naturally affected Huang Zijun's reputation, and he was urgently summoned into the palace by the emperor that night.

"Your Majesty." Huang Zijun stood respectfully on the side and could feel a solemn atmosphere coming from all directions.

"Do you know why I called you here today?" A deep and pleasant voice sounded, and in just a short moment, a cold atmosphere of tension spread.

"I don't know, please let your Majesty know."

"Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be confused in front of me?" The emperor looked at him unhappily, his sharp pupils emitting a sharp light.

"I never thought you would openly oppose King Zhao for a woman."

When the emperor heard about this matter, he found it extremely absurd and ridiculous. Xuanqi summoned him into the palace and had to mediate the matter no matter what.

"Your Majesty... This matter is not as simple as Your Majesty thinks."

"Really? Then tell me why this happened?" The emperor narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, his gaze was as sharp as a knife, trying to see through a hint of lies in his eyes.

"It was King Zhao. He flirted with my wife on my wedding day." Huang Zijun seemed to be extremely embarrassed to say this, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was mercilessly ridiculed by the emperor.

"Everyone knows that the prince and princess are in perfect harmony and have a deep love for each other. Why would he flirt with your woman for no reason?"

Although this matter had caused a lot of uproar in the city long before, the emperor felt that there must be some hidden story behind it.

Huang Zijun also had a deep misunderstanding of Rong Zhen. If the relationship between the two did not ease, the war in the future would be difficult to resolve.

"Zijun, I know better than anyone what kind of person King Zhao is. You must not let yourself be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."

It was not known how much Huang Zijun had listened to the emperor's earnest advice, but now that it had come to this, there was no point in saying more.

"You go down first. I will stay alone for a while."

"yes."

Although the pigpen was demolished and did not affect the business of the food court, Kang Keren kept coming up with strange tricks to make things difficult for Gu Yunru. As long as she thought of a way, she would find another way to cause the greatest possible damage to her business.

That day, Kang Keren found a few business partners and asked them to do some business in the city. They had to win over Gu Yunru's customers no matter what.

As soon as those people walked out, Huang Zijun walked in.

"Zijun, you're here! Come in and see what good ideas I have come up with recently." Kang Keren looked at him with a smile on her face and pulled him to sit aside with enthusiasm. Huang Zijun was indifferent to her business and just hoped that she could live a good life in the mansion.

"Are you really going to compete with the princess for business?" He had heard her mention it before, intentionally or unintentionally, and thought she was just joking. He didn't expect that she would really show up in public to do business. And according to his observations over the past half month, he had indeed noticed her actions, but he didn't expect them to be so quick.

"Who said I want to steal her business? Is she the only one in the world who can do business? I don't believe it. After my Yue Man Lou opens, I will definitely steal all the business from her Tian Zi Yi Hao Lou."

Kang Keren said complacently and explained the business to him in general. Huang Zijun didn't understand any of this, as long as she was happy.

"Keren, I will support you no matter what you do, but you must remember that you must stick to your bottom line." Huang Zijun stroked her head lovingly, but this sentence made her feel vaguely uncomfortable.

"For a businessman, making money is the most important thing. I don't care about her bottom line. Besides, I didn't spend a penny on these businesses of yours. There's no need for you to mock me in a sarcastic way."

Kang Keren said dissatisfiedly, and took the account book and went to the accounting office.

On the other side of the screen, Rong Zhen received the military funds allocated by the court. This was the pension for the deceased soldiers in the northwest, which was to be distributed to their families. However, when checking the amount, he found some minor problems.
