Chapter 146 Why Are You Bullying Me?
Chi Zhuoxu grabbed her arm and pulled her into the house, then with another push, Bai Qingyou fell to the ground.
Not only that, my arm was also very painful from the knock, and it was probably skin broken.
"Your Highness, you hurt me when you fell."
Tears flowed down quickly, but Chi Zhuoxu didn't show any sympathy at all, and stared at her with a gloomy face.
That look looked like it wanted to eat someone.
Bai Qingyou felt uneasy. Did she do something wrong?
Why are you so angry?
He didn't care about the pain anymore, rubbed his arm, and asked carefully:
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Her words were like a bomb, and Chi Zhuoxu was so angry that he kicked the stool at his feet far away:
"If I don't come again, will you have to pay for the Third Prince's Mansion? Ah?"
Bai Qingyou saw the shopkeeper flash past the door out of the corner of his eye. It must be him who went to file a complaint.
What a mean person! She said she would make money in the future, why is he so anxious?
She walked to Chi Zhuoxu's side and pulled his sleeve:
"Your Highness, listen to me. This is only temporary. We will definitely make money in the future. The shopkeeper is just too anxious. You need to put money in at the beginning of any business. I guarantee that I will make my money back before the end of the year."
"Do you know how many days are left until the Chinese New Year?"
Bai Qingyou was speechless. She really wasn't sure. It was just a casual remark.
"Humph! In just a few days, I've lost five thousand taels. This is still my shop, not counting your rent. Is this what you call making money?"
"If we continue to drive on, will the entire Third Prince's Mansion be destroyed?"
His money was hard-earned, and five thousand taels is not a small sum.
What a spendthrift! Why did he believe her lies and let her come out to do business in public?
He has long hair but little knowledge.
Women, it’s really not possible!
"Your Highness..."
Bai Qingyou wanted to explain, but Chi Zhuoxu refused to listen.
"Go back home, close this store and leave it to the shopkeeper to run. You are incapable of accomplishing anything!"
These four words negated everything Bai Qingyou had done.
"I'm telling you, you have to pay me back the money I lost, or you can't go back to the Third Prince's Mansion."
Bai Qingyou was anxious. Where did she get the money? That was five thousand taels. How could she make up for it?
"Your Highness, please listen to my explanation!"
Does Your Highness have no trust in her at all?
It's so sad.
What do you mean you won’t go back to the Third Prince’s Mansion? Your Highness doesn't want her anymore?
She loves him so much.
Chi Zhuoxu had already hurried downstairs and walked away with big strides, not even listening to her explanation. She could only follow him back home.
"Your Highness, wait for me."
She is already Chi Zhuoxu's woman, where else can she go?
If it were in modern times, if you lived together and broke up, you could still find the next one.
But this was ancient times. Where could she, a woman whose virginity had been deflowered, go?
In Dongxi, remarriage was rare, and divorced women were often hanged with a hemp rope.
She was walking on the road in a daze, and heard three or five ordinary people gathered together and chatting.
She didn't pay attention at first, but they mentioned Youran Self-service, which is her store.
Slow down and listen carefully.
"I only ate there twice, and they closed it down. The owner doesn't seem that stupid."
"How can I not be stupid? There's no limit on the amount of meat we can eat every time. We can go there every day and eat all the meat for the whole family. It's a great deal."
"You have the money to go every day, but I can't. It takes a long time to save up twenty cents. Even if I go once every five days, I can go back and throw up. Then the child can have a taste of meat every now and then."
“There will be no chance in the future.”
It's a pity that I smacked my lips.
Bai Qingyou was shocked. They went to eat, but came back and vomited for the whole family to eat?
In their eyes, she was just a sucker!
These damned untouchables are harming her.
"You untouchables, I'll kill you!"
He showed his nails and rushed over.
The people who were talking were startled by the sudden shrill voice.
When I turned around, I saw the ferocious Bai Qingyou.
Before they could get away, Bai Qingyou tripped and fell because he didn't see the stone under his feet, raising a cloud of dust.
My chin hit the ground and there was a fishy-sweet taste in my mouth.
"We..." You...
As soon as he opened his mouth, blood flowed out.
It turned out that I had bitten my tongue, and tears were streaming down my face in pain.
I can't even speak clearly.
"Where did this crazy woman come from?"
"That's right, instead of staying at home, you come out to scare people on the street."
After they finished talking, they dispersed. The grievances in Bai Qingyou's heart gushed out like magma from a volcanic eruption.
She couldn't understand why buffets were so popular in her previous life, but not in this ancient time?
Chi Zhuoxu didn't understand her at all and was even mean to her.
These untouchables also said she was stupid.
"Why are you bullying me?"
“Ahhh…”
He was so angry that he pounded the ground with his fist.
The passers-by around her stayed away from her for fear that she would go crazy and bite people.
In the end, she staggered back to the Third Prince's Mansion by herself and was almost beaten out by the doorman as a beggar.
Fortunately, the maid who served her recognized her and took her back.
Otherwise, I would be homeless.
After Feng Jingshu and the others found out, they all sneered, "You really don't know your own limitations."
Gao Xinyao was even more dismissive of her: "If you say she can write poetry, I believe it, but as for business? It's good that she doesn't lose everything."
Chen Qingrui also agreed. The most she could do was to look at the account books and she didn't know anything else. Bai Qingyou was a concubine's daughter and she definitely didn't know how to do business.
It was normal to be scolded by the Third Prince after losing money.
The three of them are now sticking together, because none of them have their natal families to rely on.
Although Feng Jingshu has a family, it has no power, almost nothing.
Secondly, they have a common goal, which is to prevent Bai Qingyou from taking the position. Otherwise, with her father's official position, the three of them will soon have no place to stand.
If one day in the future the third prince becomes the crown prince or even the emperor, then without the influence of their mother's family, they will never become queens or even imperial concubines.
So the three of them formed an alliance so that they could support each other.
They cannot decide the overall situation, so it is good for them to protect themselves.
Of course, these cannot be told to outsiders!
......
The closer we get to the end of the year, the faster time goes by. Today is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.
“Are all the roads to the mountain villages accessible?”
Chi Ming stood in front of the feng shui map, looking carefully at the distribution of the villages, not missing any one.
Shu Feng saw the prince's tall figure showing fatigue, and quickly replied: "There are more than 300 villages in total, all of them are connected."
"Rice has been distributed, and pine nuts, hazelnuts, frozen mushrooms and other things can be found on every hill. There are a lot of fish in the river, and every family can get a hundred or eighty fish. The government is also recruiting workers, and many people can get wages to buy rice. There should be no problem getting through this winter."
At this point, the disaster relief work is halfway done.
If we can get through the winter safely and not delay next year's spring ploughing, the problem can be considered completely solved.
As long as grass grows on the ground, people will not starve to death.
Live by the mountain, eat from the mountain; live by the water, eat from the water; you will always find food.
Chi Ming knew that after these matters were arranged, he would not be able to play any role here.
"We can set off back to Beijing now."
