Chapter 110 He Jingheng's Villa
"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 six thousand taels. Add the shop and the tea you mentioned, it's almost ten thousand taels! Ten thousand taels! It's enough for our family to live in this exile place for a lifetime!"
"Shut up!" the old princess said angrily, "This room is full of masters, how can a concubine like you have the right to speak?"
"Madam, I am just worried..."
"What are you waiting for?" Lin said coldly, "Take Aunt Zhao away. Don't come out unless necessary."
Shang Ruoyi said nothing, but just took a sip of the milk tea.
He Yunyi looked at Aunt Zhao and said quietly, "Aunt, don't you still think you are in the palace? You rely on your father's favor to make decisions about 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 did. Who do you think you are?"
You can bully anyone, but He Yunyi will be the first one to stop them from bullying 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 flashing across her eyes.
Aunt Zhao returned to her courtyard, where He Qinian and Lin Shuyu were eating snacks.
She saw it all and thought about how she had been treated in the main hall, and she couldn't help but get furious.
Aunt Zhao walked forward and pushed the plate on the table to the ground, and the cakes in the plate rolled to the ground.
"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating!" Aunt Zhao said coldly, "You think about eating all day long. How could I give birth to a loser like you? And you!" She tapped Lin Shuyu's head and said, "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's belly, I wouldn't have embarrassed myself in front of so many people. I'm sorry I'm still scheming for you! You're a hopeless case."
He Qinian and Lin Shuyu have been living under the oppression of Aunt Zhao for these years. If Aunt Zhao got angry today as in the past, the two of them would not dare to say a word.
But since the beginning of exile, He Qinian's psychology has undergone great changes.
"Mom." He stood up, picked up the scattered cakes on the ground, 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 processes before it was served on the table. After I recovered, I went to the greenhouse and realized how hard it was to get food. It's really wrong for you to throw the cakes on the ground like this."
Aunt Zhao was shocked for a moment by He Qinian's words. When He Qinian was in the palace, he had always been a second-generation rich man. He relied on his father and brother's military achievements and the power of Dingguo Palace, and he was uneducated and unskilled.
I didn't expect that I would say such a thing today.
But Aunt Zhao's attention was obviously not 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 that you, a jinx, are not a good person. Since you came in, Qinian seems to have become a different person. It must be you who instigated it!"
Lin Shuyu, the innocent victim, was frightened by her yelling and couldn't stop crying.
He Qinian frowned, looked at Aunt Zhao with disapproval, and pulled Lin Shuyu out.
Aunt Zhao sat on the chair angrily. Looking at the cakes on the table, she became even more furious. She threw the cakes on the ground and stomped on them a few times out of satisfaction.
The next morning, Shang Ruoyi arrived at the county town. The layout of the shop did not need to be changed too much. She only added a kitchen and display cabinet for making milk tea and snacks. The display cabinet was decorated with colored glaze, which looked 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: "Not bad, not bad, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wu."
"Not hard, not hard." Old Wu smiled and said to Shang Ruoyi, "I've been able to get away from it a lot these past few 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 can't be partial to one and treat the other equally. You should treat us two old men equally."
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Got it, I'll have someone send 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."
The servant 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 a small alley and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around to enter the space directly.
Soon, a man in white 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 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 even recognize her.
Yuntian led her to a room.
Shang Ruoyi looked at the environment around the manor and couldn't help but sigh. He Jingheng was really rich! This manor was not worse than the Dingguo 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 low voice sounded.
When Shang Ruoyi walked into the study, she saw the person who had been missing for the past two days.
"Go down!"
"Yes." Yuntian retreated respectfully.
"Lingjun?" He Jingheng smiled and said, "If Lord Shang knew that his exiled daughter 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, was living a more carefree life than in the capital, he would probably really regret it."
