"Aunt Zhao." Shang Ruoyi interrupted her with a sneer: "Grandmother gave me this power when she handed the He family over to me."
"That's a thousand taels, plus the shop and your tea, it's almost ten thousand taels! Ten thousand taels! It's enough for our family to live in exile here for the rest of our lives!"
"Shut up!" the old princess said angrily, "This room is full of masters, how can you, a concubine, have the right to speak?"
"Old man, I am just worried..."
"What are you waiting for?" Lin said coldly, "Take Aunt Zhao away. She will come out soon if there is nothing else."
Shang Ruoyi said nothing, but just took a sip of the milk tea.
He Yunyi looked at Aunt Zhao and said quietly, "Aunt, do you still think you are in the palace? You rely on the favor of the prince to point fingers at the affairs of the palace. You are just a concubine. It is the grandmother's kindness that allows you to stand in this main hall. You even complain about what your sister-in-law does. Who do you think you are?"
You can bully anyone, but He Yunyi will be the first to give in when someone bullies her sister-in-law.
Aunt Zhao blushed and retreated from the main hall.
Just then, the servants came up with two plates of milky white snacks.
Shang Ruoyi looked at her back, a dark look flashed across her eyes.
Aunt Zhao returned to her own courtyard, where He Qinian and Lin Shuyu were eating snacks.
She saw it all, and thinking of how she herself had been bullied in the main hall, she could not help but get furious.
Aunt Zhao walked forward and lifted the plate on the table, and the cakes and pastries on the plate rolled down onto the ground.
"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating!" Aunt Zhao said coldly, "Your mind is always on eating, how could I give birth to a loser like you? And you!" She tapped Lin Shuyu's head with her hand, "Why did our Qinian marry someone as careless as you? If you had half the ability of Shang Ruoyi or were as motivated as Cong Fangzhi, I wouldn't have to embarrass myself in front of so many people. I'm actually scheming for you! You're really trying to help a useless person climb a wall."
He Qinian and Lin Shuyu have been living under the suppression of Aunt Zhao for these years. If Aunt Zhao got angry today as usual, they would not dare to say a word.
But since the exile began, He Qinian's psychology has changed a lot.
"Mom." He stood up, picked up the cakes scattered on the bed, and put them back on the plate. "When I was in the palace, I never knew that a grain of rice had to go through so many procedures before it was served on the table. After I recovered, I went to the greenhouse and realized how easy it was to get food. You deserved to throw cakes on the bed like this."
Aunt Zhao was shocked by He Qinian's words. When He Qinian was in the palace, he had always been a second-generation ancestor. He relied on his brother's military merits and the power of Dingguo Palace, and he was ignorant.
I didn't expect that I would say such a thing today.
But Aunt Zhao's attention was obviously focused on this.
She said coldly: "How dare you talk back to me! Who taught you the rules?"
"Mom, if you don't have anything to say, go back and rest!"
Aunt Zhao was so angry that she was shaking all over. She turned to Lin Shuyu and said, "Is it you? I knew you were a bad luck guy. Since you came in, Qinian seems to have changed. It must be you who instigated it!"
Lin Shuyu, who was innocently implicated, was frightened by her yelling, and her tears could not stop falling.
He Qinian frowned, glanced at Aunt Zhao in agreement, and pulled Lin Shuyu out.
Aunt Zhao sat on the chair full of anger. Looking at the cakes on the table, she became even more furious. She threw the cakes directly on the table and stomped on them a few times to vent her anger.
Early the next morning, Shang Ruoyi arrived at the county town. The layout of the shop did not need much change. She only added a kitchen and display cabinet for making milk tea and snacks. The display cabinet is decorated with colored glaze, which looks very beautiful.
Mr. Wu had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Shang Ruoyi coming, he hurried out to greet her: "Take a look, how is it?"
Shang Ruoyi had already packed up the milk tea shop and nodded: "No, no, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wu."
"Thank you for your hard work." Old Wu smiled and said to Shang Ruoyi, "I have had a lot of peace and quiet in recent days. I heard that Old Xie has been very busy lately!"
"Mr. Xie has indeed been working very hard these days."
"But, why did I hear that he got some benefits from you?" Old Wu coughed twice: "Although his task is heavier, you may be more partial to him and treat us two old men equally."
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Got it, I'll have her deliver it to you later."
Old Wu smacked his lips. Old Xie had been showing off in front of him for a long time, telling him how delicious the fruit was. He had never even heard of it before, so he was really envious.
At this time, a servant came over and said to Shang Ruoyi respectfully, "Are you Miss Shang?"
"That's right." Shang Ruoyi asked softly, "What's the matter?"
"A young master asked me to give you this note, saying that you will understand after reading it."
께 Si handed her the note and left.
Shang Ruoyi opened the note, her eyes darkened, and she put the note away.
Leaving Yingxue in the shop, Shang Ruoyi hid in an alley, and when there was no one around, she directly entered the space.
After a while, a man in white clothes and wearing a golden mask walked out of the alley.
According to the address on the note, Shang Ruoyi came to a farm.
"Are you Young Master Lingjun?" A man with a sword on his waist walked up to her.
"Exactly."
"Sir, please follow me." The man's face showed a little more respect: "The master has been waiting for a long time."
Shang Ruoyi pushed the mask on her face. It seemed that her disguise was very successful. Yuntian didn't recognize her.
Yuntian led her to a room.
Shang Ruoyi looked at the environment around the manor and couldn't help but be amazed. He Jingheng was really rich! This manor is worse than the Prince Ding's palace!
Thinking of this, she felt a little annoyed that she still had to support the family even though he was so rich.
"Master, Young Master Lingjun is here." Yuntian said softly.
"Please come in." He Jingheng's deep voice sounded.
As soon as Shang Ruoyi walked into the study, she saw the man who had not been seen in the past two days.
"Go down!"
"Yes." Yun Tian retreated respectfully.
"Lingjun?" He Jingheng smiled and said, "If Lord Shang knew that his daughter, who was exiled by him, had such a talent, he would regret it."
Seeing that he got straight to the point, Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "If the emperor knew that the prince of Dingguo Palace, who was exiled by him, lived a freer life than in the capital, he would probably regret it."
