On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 213 Selling oneself to bury one’s father? So bloody!

(Thanks to Wuxian Baron for voting for 2 monthly tickets.)
On the other side, Li Shiyue, Yan Jiuniang, and Ma Zi and Zhao Yan, who came with them in a car, had already settled down in a village outside the city, at the home of their father-in-law where they had stayed many times.

At daybreak, the four of them drove onto the official road and lined up in front of the city gate.

After entering the city, Yan Jiuniang suddenly became happy.

Li Shiyue stretched out her hand and raised the brim of her straw hat. She looked at Yan Jiuniang helplessly and asked, "What have you remembered?"

"Haha, haha, October, when I think about getting like this," Yan Jiuniang said as she raised her hand and touched the bun on her head. Her hand then touched her head and then her face, "I can walk directly into the city in a swagger. I think this is really interesting!

I just couldn't control my laughter!
My black-hearted father would never have thought that I would appear before his eyes in such a state.

Haha, haha, no, October, I want to laugh when I think about this. "

Li Shiyue looked at Yan Jiuniang, who was laughing so hard that she almost couldn't straighten her back, and then recalled the first time she saw her in Xingsheng Building in Dongmu;
With this comparison, it is true that if the Prince of Zhenbei came to Yan Jiuniang at this moment and faced her face to face, looking at each other, it is probably possible that the Prince of Zhenbei would not recognize Yan Jiuniang.

Ma Zi and Zhao Yan, who were following behind the two men in the carriage, said with a smile, "I don't know what October said, it made people laugh."

Zhao Yan still had some shyness of a young wife. She whispered to Ma Zi, "Shiyue is a capable man. I'm afraid that if he tells the lady that he's happy, she can buy more paper from the paper mill."

As they were talking, they arrived at Shuyuan Street.

Li Shiliang, Zhao Min and a hired errand boy hurried out to the door of the paper shop to help unload the goods.

The number of wooden boxes he brought back to the city this time was not as many as last time. It was not because the paper mill was out of paper, but because Li Shiyue decided to stock up on some goods to use when entertaining the merchants after the trade.

Seeing that there were enough people to move the goods, Li Shiyue said to Li Shiliang, "I'll go order a table of food. You don't have to cook for dinner. Let's just have fun together.

Don't worry about me and Lady Jin. I'm going to buy some gifts for my visit to Mr. Jin tomorrow. We should be back later, so don't worry."

After saying this, Li Shiyue took Yan Jiuniang to order a table of food and had it delivered to the paper shop. Then the two of them went to Xingsheng Tower.

Yan Jiuniang meant to leave a message for Manager Jin of Xingshenglou in advance so that they could arrange a time to meet.

After all, she couldn't just walk into Xingsheng Building and look for Manager Jin, right?
“Although he probably wouldn’t recognize me in this state, there must be spies under his command in the building.

I'd better meet with Shopkeeper Jin outside the building."

But the two of them had just sat down at a tea stall not far from the entrance of Xingsheng Building. After drinking only two sips of tea, they heard a lot of noise coming from the entrance of Xingsheng Building.

Li Shiyue and Yan Jiuniang looked at each other, and Yan Jiuniang's eyes were full of eagerness to watch the fun.

When Yan Jiuniang was half standing up, Li Shiyue quickly raised his hand and held her down.

After taking out a few copper coins from his purse to pay for the tea, Li Shiyue signaled Yan Jiuniang with his eyes to stand up.

However, after Yan Jiuniang stood up, she wanted to go to the entrance of Xingsheng Building, but Li Shiyue just exerted a little force and pulled Yan Jiuniang's hand to the opposite direction.

After a while, Yan Jiuniang, who was standing at the window of a private room on the second floor of Jun Youlai Restaurant opposite Xingsheng Building, looked towards the entrance of Xingsheng Building with great interest. The location of Jun Youlai Restaurant was just right to see the hustle and bustle at the entrance of Xingsheng Building.

"October! You've got it right!

There are so many people crowded at the door, how can you see anything?
It’s just right to be here, I can see the whole thing…”

Yan Jiuniang's voice suddenly became silent from its high pitch. Li Shiyue looked at her in confusion and saw that Yan Jiuniang seemed to be completely attracted by the excitement downstairs.

Li Shiyue walked to the window curiously and looked down following Yan Jiuniang's gaze.

Guess which old acquaintance Li Shiyue saw?
It’s Liu Shu!
"Why is it him?"

Yan Jiuniang took over Li Shiyue's words: "Isn't he trying to stop me here?" Li Shiyue shook her head, "Probably not.

If he had known that you were coming to Xingsheng Tower, he would have sent someone to arrest you at the city gate. Why would he have blocked you here?
I think he wants to come to Xingsheng Building to find Manager Jin to ask about you, right?

This is just at the door."

Li Shiyue looked at the girl in a white dress kneeling in front of Liu Shu and said, "I came out like this."

Before Yan Jiuniang could open her mouth, she heard shouting again from the entrance of Xingsheng Building.

Li Shiyue had excellent hearing. Even when she was standing upstairs, she could hear what the people watching downstairs were saying.

"What's going on today?"

“Which one else could it be?
Isn't this just selling oneself to bury one's father on the surface, but actually wanting to climb the social ladder?"

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"You don't even know the Prince of Zhenbei, do you?
From out of town? Take a closer look. The one in the ink-and-wash long gown in front is our Anton's Prince Zhenbei.

Just tell me, who can climb the highest branch in Anton?"

"That must be the King of Zhenbei!"

The man was choked by the man's words, and after a while he spoke: "Yes, the highest one is the King of Zhenbei, but isn't the prince the future King of Zhenbei?

That's the second highest.

Here, this is prepared in advance.

Everyone who walks along this street of Xingsheng Tower knows that the prince has been coming to Xingsheng Tower every three days for more than half a month.

After the man finished speaking, he gave the outsider opposite him a meaningful look that said, "I understand."

The look in his eyes was like, "He did this deliberately to lure the prince into taking the bait."

So, did Liu Shu take the bait?

"He is so young, but he is the most hypocritical one."

These words were said sarcastically by Yan Jiuniang, who was standing beside Li Shiyue, towards the scene at the entrance of Xingsheng Building downstairs.

"Oh? What do you say?"

“When I was young, my black-hearted father took me back to the palace. I was already over eight years old at that time. My mother brought me a lot of gifts and asked me to give them to the princess’ son, Liu Shu, in order to please him.

Liu Shu was less than five years old at that time. Haha, he said in front of me that he liked the general I gave him and praised it for its loud barking.

Turning back, I saw him chariot-slicing the general to pieces."

"Who is this great general?"

"My cousin from my uncle's family found the katydid for me."

Li Shiyue was about to speak when suddenly, the system in her mind spoke: "Situation triggered, find the task"
