A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

The Qingyuan mentioned by Mrs. Chu is her nephew Yuan Qingyuan.

Mrs. Chu Yuan Hua was born in Wu'an Marquis Mansion. Back then, when Yuan Hua's father, Wu'an Marquis, was still alive, the Marquis Mansion was extremely noble and glorious.

Five years ago, Wu'an Hou died of illness, and Yuan Hua's eldest brother Yuan Wen inherited the title. However, Yuan Wen was a mediocre person with no moral integrity and incompetence, which led to the gradual decline of the Hou Mansion.

And Yuan Wen’s son Qingyuan is not as good as his father!

Although Yuan Wen is mediocre, he is an honest and decent person who does not cause trouble.

Yuan Qingyuan was a cool guy who indulged in eating, drinking, gambling, whoring, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil things all day long.

A few days ago, in a brothel, he competed with another guy for a courtesan and injured the other person, and was reported to the prefect of Jingzhao.

The injured man was also a son of an official, so he would naturally not swallow his anger. He insisted on an explanation from the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, or he would sue Yuan Qingyuan and have him put in jail.

Later, Chu Heng stepped in to mediate and compensated the other party with 10,000 taels of silver, which settled the matter.

The 10,000 taels of silver were also paid by Chu Heng. Mrs. Chu was a smart woman, she knew that her family was no longer the same as before, and the only person she could rely on was Chu Heng.

So, even though he didn't like Liu Yuyao, he was still very nice to her on the surface.

Madam Yuan said, "Madam, I am not being nosy, but this young lady's behavior is really not worthy of being in a noble house!"

Madam Chu said, "Isn't she going to get married soon? Whether she is good or not will soon have nothing to do with us."

As they talked along the way, the carriage soon arrived at East Street.

Several people got off the carriage and went straight to the largest jewelry shop on East Street, "Feili Pavilion".

When a woman gets married, jewelry is an indispensable dowry item.

At this moment, in the Feili Pavilion, Shen Qingfeng spent three hundred taels of silver to buy two jade bracelets.

One was given to Shen Qingqian, and the other was worn on Liu Shuyao's fair wrist.

The bracelet was not expensive, and it was considered a relatively cheap item in the Feili Pavilion. But Shen Qingqian and Liu Shuyao both liked it very much, as if they had obtained some rare treasure, and they felt sweet in their hearts.

When Mrs. Chu and Liu Yuyao entered Feili Pavilion, there were many guests in Feili Pavilion.

Mrs. Chu did not see Shen Qingqian, or maybe she did, but she had only met Shen Qingqian last night, and she would not have recognized Shen Qingqian at all without a closer look!

But Liu Yuyao behind her saw it. She not only saw Shen Qingqian, but also Liu Shuyao and Shen Qingfeng!

Even from the backs of several people, Liu Yuyao could recognize them at a glance!

Liu Yuyao immediately panicked. She didn't expect these people to come to Beijing!

She didn't want to see them. She was afraid that Liu Shuyao would come to the Chu family and expose her fake identity!

No, she couldn't let those people find her! What if they came over and questioned her in front of Mrs. Chu?

"Yuyao, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"

Mrs. Chu was just about to ask her what she liked when she saw that she looked like she had lost her soul and her face turned pale.

Liu Yuyao came back to her senses and lied, "Oh... I, mother, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'll go out for a while."

Madam Chu frowned and said, "Then go quickly. I'll wait for you here. Come back soon."

"Okay, mother."

Liu Yuyao said this and quickly ran out.

Nanny Yuan said unhappily, "After all, you are from the countryside. How can you look like a lady from a wealthy family?"

Madam Chu said, "Don't worry about her, Madam Yuan, I want to choose a pearl necklace, can you help me take a look?"

"Mrs. Chu?"

Shen Qingqian was about to leave when she turned around and saw Mrs. Chu standing on the other side of the counter.

Mrs. Chu looked in the direction of the voice and was stunned for a moment before she recognized Shen Qingqian.

"It's Miss Shen. What a coincidence! Are you here to buy something too?"

"Yes, but we've already bought it and are about to leave. Did you just come in?"

"Yeah, I just came in."

She looked at Shen Qingfeng and Liu Yuyao again and asked, "Did Miss Shen come with a friend?"

Shen Qingqian held Shen Qingfeng's arm with one hand and Liu Shuyao's arm with the other, and said, "These two are my second brother and his wife."

Yingzi and Zhang Sheng were not there. They were putting the things they had bought on the carriage, so they did not come in.

Shen Qingqian then said to Shen Qingfeng and Liu Shuyao: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, this is Madam Chu. I met her at Yang's house yesterday. Madam Chu is a very nice person."

Shen Qingfeng nodded to Madam Chu, and Liu Shuyao bowed and said respectfully, "Meet Madam Chu."

Liu Shuyao knew that it was not easy for her sister-in-law to work hard outside. It would be fine if she couldn't help, but she must not hold her back.

Therefore, when dealing with the people Shen Qingqian met, she tried her best to be thorough and reasonable so that no one could find fault with her.

Madam Chu smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. Miss Shen is capable, and her family is also well-educated and well-mannered. They are all very likable!"

Shen Qingqian complained in her heart, after all, she was the mistress of a wealthy family and she was really good at talking.

"Mrs. Chu, please continue to pick things. We have something else to do, so we will leave first. On March 18th, I will deliver fresh vegetables to your house early."

"Okay, Miss Shen, take care."

Liu Yuyao hid outside and only went back into Feili Pavilion after seeing Liu Shuyao, Shen Qingqian and Shen Qingfeng leave.

On the other side, Zhou Susu went to the inn to look for Shen Qingqian, but found that Shen Qingqian and the others were not there. The waiter told her that Shen Qingqian and her group of five had gone out and they didn't know when they would be back.

Zhou Susu had to return empty-handed and sent someone to tell Chu Heng to make another appointment.

Prince's Mansion. The prince, dressed in a purple brocade robe, stood facing the window with his hands behind his back.

The sunlight shone through the window lattice onto his face. There was no sense of softness at all, only a solemn expression on his face.

Zhao Yichen walked in and called out "Big Brother". Zhao Yize then turned around and said straight to the point: "You already know about Zheng Hong's situation, right?"

"Yes, I heard about it. What exactly happened?"

Zhao Yize sat down on the armchair, poured two cups of tea, and motioned Zhao Yichen to sit down and talk.

Zhao Yichen sat down opposite him and took the teacup, but did not drink it in a hurry. He waited for Zhao Yize to speak.

Zhao Yize put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Zheng Hong's third aunt is indeed from Nanling, and she has been lurking in the Zheng Mansion for the past three years to obtain intelligence.

Zheng Hong is also a fool, being fooled by a woman! He deserves his bad luck! "

"Big brother, please stop saying these angry words. I heard that it was Second Brother who reported this to Father. How did Second Brother find out?"

"It should be that Zhao Yiming has planted people in the Zheng Mansion. Over the years, Zhao Yiming has been trying to win over the ministers in the court, especially these military generals.

Zheng Hong has military power, so he is also the target of his wooing. But Zheng Hong is a straightforward person, and his thoughts are almost written on his face! Zhao Yiming saw that he failed to win him over, so he simply took the opportunity to overthrow him! "
