Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Wang Shuhua's move completely severed her relationship with the fifth prince Xuanyuan Chen. Shangguan Qingyue admired his decisiveness and tenacity.

After receiving the news, the Fifth Prince went to Prime Minister Wang’s residence in person without giving up.

Although Wang Shuhua had already been helped by her maid to wash and dress herself up, the scratch on her forehead, the slightly lame gait, and the lifeless eyes spoke for themselves.

Xuanyuan Chen stared at her for a long time without blinking, and just when Nan Rongshuo couldn't help but want to say something, he suddenly stood up and walked out without saying a word.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince!"

Prime Minister Wang called the man to stop somewhat awkwardly, but when the other person stopped, he didn't know what to say.

Xuanyuan Chen snorted coldly and said in a cold tone:

"Tomorrow, Your Highness will order someone to return the engagement token. Goodbye!"

He pursed his lips tightly, said this without looking back, and then left resolutely without hesitation.

Wang Shuhua finally breathed a sigh of relief when she could no longer see the other person. She was thin to begin with, and with her deliberate disguise, she looked lonely and desolate from behind.

Nan Rongshu swallowed back what he was about to say, threw the teacup on the side table to the ground, and cursed:

"Those bastards who dared to kidnap my daughter will surely die miserably!"

Her eyes were red and her face was covered with tears. She said to Prime Minister Wang hesitantly:

"Master, you must find a way to find those evil people. Our paintings have been destroyed like this! Wuwuwu... How am I going to live in the future..."

Wang Shoufu was annoyed by what he heard. He looked at his daughter who was standing still. He couldn't help but ask again:

"Hua'er, did you...really escape by yourself?"

As soon as their daughter was found, they found an experienced woman to examine her. Although their daughter was still a virgin as expected, it was really unreasonable.

For a weak little girl, escaping from the hands of a vicious criminal is harder than climbing to heaven!

Wang Shuhua felt a chill in her heart after hearing this. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said sadly:

"The daughter has told her father in detail how she escaped from the criminals. Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact.

If you feel that your daughter has brought shame to the Wang family, you can let her die now. I will not complain at all!"

She looked at her father with firm eyes, as if she was ready to die at any time.

For a moment, Prime Minister Wang vaguely saw his brave and fearless self in his daughter.

I just can’t bear to let go!

He sighed deeply and waved his hand feebly.

"Forget it, go back to your own yard and have a good rest. Don't mention anything about life or death anymore. From now on... just live a peaceful life in the mansion. When the storm has passed, your father will find you a suitable family.

Now that things have come to this, we don’t need to worry about family background, as long as the person is down-to-earth, steady and willing to make progress. "

Nan Rongshu felt her body go limp and she slid off the chair to the ground. She actually fainted!

……

Shangguan Qingyue finally learned from Xuanyuan Yan how he planned for Wang Shuhua. Although she was shocked, she still frowned.

Xuanyuan Yan casually pulled out the ruler that he had not used for a long time from the table and tapped the little girl's head gently.

"You think too much at a young age, be careful not to become ugly."

Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but laugh.

"Only beautiful people worry about their appearance. I'm plain-looking, so I'm not afraid."

Now it was Xuanyuan Yan's turn to frown. He looked at the smart and beautiful girl in front of him and said seriously:

"I think you are just right, beautiful but not gaudy, delicate but not coquettish, clear and pure, no one can compare to you."

Such straightforward praise, even if Shangguan Qingyue was thick-skinned, could not bear it. Her cheeks gradually turned red, and she became shy.

Qing, who had been standing by, saw this and quietly walked out the door with a smile on his lips.

Suddenly she thought of something, and slapped her forehead fiercely. She no longer cared about being embarrassed, and asked hurriedly after a cry of "Ah":

"It is said that the innocence of a daughter of a wealthy family is more important than her life. Your Highness sent Miss Wang back home like this. What if she is forced to hang herself or drown herself in the river?"

The more she talked, the more she felt that it made sense, and she hurriedly paced back and forth in the room. She was also involved in Wang Shuhua's affairs, so she couldn't just stand by and watch.

Xuanyuan Yan was dizzy because of her words and quickly interrupted:

"Okay, stop turning. Don't worry, it won't happen.

My cousin Shuhua was willing to break off the engagement even at the cost of her reputation, so how could she die so easily? You underestimated her!"

But Shangguan Qingyue still couldn't feel at ease, she asked:

"But even if Miss Wang can save her life, wouldn't it be even more painful if she is trapped in a deep house and has no freedom from now on?"

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had not asked the Third Prince for help, even if he had married the Fifth Prince, her current situation would have been better.

Her emotions were all written on her face, and Xuanyuan Yan easily guessed what she was thinking.

"Well, you don't need to blame yourself. I have a plan for this matter. You just need to wait patiently. In half a month at least or a month at most, your worries will be solved."

He spread out another piece of rice paper on the table and asked while grinding ink:

"The shop across from Shuiyunjian is almost done. Have you thought of a name for it?"

The two of them had already discussed that although the shop opposite was a restaurant, the main food served was Eight Treasure Soup, which was accompanied by a few side dishes and the staple food that everyone usually eats.

Shangguan Qingyue was brought back to his senses. After thinking for a while, he muttered:

"We can't just call it Eight Treasure Soup, that sounds too vulgar... If we just call it Shuiyunjian Restaurant, it seems a bit awkward..."

She paced slowly while muttering softly, but even though her voice was small, Xuanyuan Yan could hear it clearly.

He pondered for a moment, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, wrote three big characters on the rice paper, looked up and said to Shangguan Qingyue:

"How about calling it 'Babaozhai'?"

The little girl paused for a moment, then walked to the table and looked at the three powerful characters on the rice paper. After pondering for a while, she slammed the table with both hands:

"Okay, it's settled!"

Then, she smiled slyly and asked in a flattering way:

"Can we use your highness's calligraphy to make a plaque for our restaurant?"

These three words "Xuanyuan Yan" were written with his left hand. Except for a very few close people who could recognize his handwriting, outsiders had no way of knowing it.

So he agreed very readily.

Half a month later, the teahouse opposite Shuiyunjian reopened and was renamed Babaozhai. The name was unique, and the decoration and food inside were also very novel.

In order to make Babaozhai famous as soon as possible, Shangguan Qingyue used all the limited marketing methods she knew. Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help but admire her when he saw it.

Opening discounts, food tastings, gifts for pre-depositing money, dragon and lion dances... and so on.

Unlike Shuiyunjian, Babaozhai is filled with small compartments. Although the space is not large, it is very comfortably decorated.

Within just a few days of opening, it became the favorite of the young masters of wealthy families.

Invite a few close friends to chat around the fire, eat hot meals and drink clear and mellow wine, how wonderful it is!

Just when Babaozhai was operating in full swing, one incident became a hot topic throughout the capital.

Qingxin Academy actually began to recruit female students and posted notices everywhere, recruiting talented men and women.

As soon as the news spread, everyone was shocked. Their Da'an country had been established for hundreds of years, and this was the first time they heard of an academy that accepted female students.

Most of them were people who made fun of and mocked others. Women were not allowed to take the imperial examinations, and studying for them was like a cow chewing a peony. It was really ridiculous!

However, when the people learned that Qingxin Academy only accepted poor or helpless children and provided food and lodging without charging a penny, many families began to become restless.

In addition, Shangguan Chong personally preached to the people everywhere and took many people to visit the academy, and more and more people began to be interested.

His former position as the Director of the Imperial College played a crucial role in this, and there was even a rumor that began to spread:

The reason why Lord Shangguan resigned from his official position was because he felt sorry for the poor families who had no books to read and that it was difficult for poor families to produce talented children, so he wanted to do his part.

Such a great act of benevolence and righteousness gradually silenced those who mocked and ridiculed him. Even many wealthy businessmen began to inquire about donating to Qingxin Academy.

After anxiously waiting for more than half a month, Wang Shuhua heard the news from her personal maid. She, who had been gloomy and silent, finally smiled faintly.

The eyes that were originally lifeless also had some spirit.

Here's her chance!
