It is the time when the clouds stop raining

Yun Shu was about to speak when a woman came over cursing.

As they walked, they said, "Is it this vixen who seduced the young master?" The lady pointed at Yun Bai with an affirmative tone and a disdainful look.

It seems that the vixen she was talking about was Yun Bai.

Yun Bai subconsciously explained: "I didn't."

But now she is just a person living at the bottom of society, and no one listens to her excuses.

"You still dare to quibble? Look at the coat you are wearing. Can a poor man like you who sells lanterns to supplement his family income afford this? Is this coat a gift from my son?"

After hearing this, Yun Bai's face turned pale. She already knew who the lady in front of her was.

Jiang Mingshan's mother.

This dress was indeed given to her by Jiang Mingshan.

But it was not what the lady thought.

The aunt-in-law loves her daughter dearly, but looking at her daughter's expression, she knows that what the lady in front of her said is probably true.

A month ago, Yun Bai returned home wearing new clothes.

At that time, the aunt Wu Yuying asked her daughter about the origin of the clothes.

Yun Bai replied that he was out looking for a job today and saw a young man riding a horse in the street and almost hit a child. Fortunately, he was quick-eyed and quick-handed and saved the child. The child's clothes were already torn and rolled on the ground, becoming even more tattered.

So the young man thanked her and compensated her with a set of clothes.

Because his clothes were already torn and after rolling on the ground, they could no longer be worn, so Yun Bai accepted Jiang Mingshan's kindness.

In the following days, Yun Bai always met that young man and chatted with him intentionally or unintentionally.

His clothes were luxurious, and it was obvious that he was not a young man from an ordinary family.

I overheard it one day and found out that he was actually the son of the Jiang family in Beijing.

Yun Bai always refused Jiang Mingshan's approach. As a criminal, she had never considered her own life.

She also put the dress away, hoping to save some money to buy a coarse linen dress for everyday wear.

Who knew that Yunshan was always sick and all the family money was used for medical treatment, so there was no money left to buy him a new set of clothes.

Yun Bai only had two sets of clothes to change into. After that set of clothes was washed, he only had this one to wear.

"Take it off." Jiang's mother looked arrogant, as if she was looking at a monkey, or a monkey with a red butt.

Yun Shu knew her cousin Yun Bai's personality, and there must be something else going on. "This lady is too aggressive."

Jiang's mother looked at Yun Shu who was standing beside her. She had red lips and bright eyes, and her clothes were made of brocade which was very popular this year. Although her eyes were smiling, if one looked closely, the smile did not reach her eyes.

"Miss, I'm afraid you don't know who the two people in front of you are. It's not good to meddle in other people's business."

"Aren't they the people of Da Xia?" Yun Shu looked at Jiang's mother, "Is there any other hidden story behind this?" How could a piece of clothing cause Jiang's mother to make such a fuss?

Wu Yuying also spoke up: "Xiao Bai is my daughter. She is not such a person. Madam, please allow me to ask clearly?"

Those difficult days are over. How is Xiaobai like now? As a mother, wouldn’t she not know?

Yun Bai told Mrs. Jiang what had happened again, and Mrs. Jiang listened to the whole story.

It was just a misunderstanding, just clear it up.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang said again: "She must have seduced my son by taking advantage of the opportunity to collect clothes." Otherwise, why would the servants say today that Ming Shan'er had met this woman several times.

It’s because your soul has been seduced by this vixen.

Wu Yuying and Yun Bai had never expected that Mrs. Jiang would bite back after hearing what had happened. They were now the family of a criminal, so how could they dare to argue with one of the top merchant families in the capital.

Yun Shu looked at his aunt and cousin, feeling distressed. If it were before, who would dare to go against the Yun Palace? "I think it's your young master Jiang who is pestering her."

"How can you talk like that?" Jiang's mother only had this one son, so naturally she thought he was perfect and would not tolerate anyone gossiping about him. Besides, no one had ever gossiped about him in front of her before.

"You were right. I'm so angry." He didn't speak very confidently when he slandered Yun Bai's cousin just now.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?" Jiang's mother looked at Yun Shu.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?" Yun Shu was not to be outdone.

Yun Shu asked in return, no matter how wealthy a merchant family is, they still have to bow when meeting a marquisate.

Mrs. Jiang didn't know what to say when Yun Shu asked her a question. Although she was just a girl and had no servants or maids accompanying her, her expression was as if there were thousands of troops standing behind her.

She was a businesswoman, so she could naturally tell that the woman in front of her was of extraordinary status.

An anxious voice came from a distance: "Mom, why are you here? Didn't you go to watch the moon with your cousin?"

Jiang Mingshan is here.

There was a group of people following behind him, all of whom were familiar to Yun Shu.

"Watching the moon is too boring, let's go out and relax." Jiang's mother immediately changed her expression.

It is rumored that Jiang Mingshan is very favored at home, and judging from the situation, the rumor is true.

"What's there to relax about on the street? I'll treat mom to a good meal at Zuixianlou." After saying that, he was about to take Jiang's mother's hand and leave.

"Zuixianlou is our own business, why do we need you to treat us? What's wrong with you recently? I heard from your cousin that you only care about one girl." Then Madam Jiang looked at Yun Bai and said, "Our family doesn't care about family background. As long as the girl is from a decent family, it's fine. If she's not decent, it's not fine."

Obviously the latter sentence was said to Yun Bai, expressing his disdain for her unclean family background.

"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm just curious." Jiang Mingshan explained.

"That's good. When you get home, your mother will show you a few more." Jiang's mother felt relieved when she heard her son say this and there were so many people around.

Hearing this, Jiang Mingshan glanced at Yun Bai and said softly, "Okay."

This is when Xie Qingyun exclaimed in the crowd: "Is this Yun Bai? Are you buying lanterns here?"

His chin dropped in surprise, his tone was one of greeting, but the expression on his face was one of contempt, as if he was deliberately speaking loudly to attract people from all directions to look over here.

Look at how the once favored girl of heaven is now struggling to survive.

As Xie Qingyun's voice sounded, there was constant discussion around. Speaking of Yun Bai, how could the girls from the wealthy families in Beijing not know him?

She is the daughter of Prince Yun's Mansion. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. At the age of five, she was engaged to the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and became the envied Crown Princess.

Unexpected things happen in life. As much as the girls envied Yun Bai five years ago, they felt so sorry for him three years later. No one expected that Prince Yun's Mansion would collude with the enemy.

Yun Bai went from being the high and mighty future Crown Princess to the daughter of a guilty minister.

Now he can only make a living by making lanterns and selling sundries.

"This is Yun Bai." Zhou Yuqing didn't know Yun Bai, but he had heard Yun Bai's story. Now that he saw the real person, he felt a sigh in his heart.

"How did Yun Bai become like this?"

"Look how rough her hands are."

"He doesn't look well, and he's very thin."

"There are so many wounds on my hands."

"There are so many lanterns. Let's help Yun Bai and buy some lanterns."

Yun Bai's face turned even paler amid the discussions around him.

As for Jiang's mother's fuss just now, Yun Bai felt that he could handle it.

Now the girls' ridicule was like needles piercing Yun Bai's heart, making her feel ashamed and embarrassed.

She wished there was a crack in the ground for her to crawl into. She didn't want to meet him in this way.

"Yun Bai, how do you buy this lantern?"

"Three pennies."

"Why is it more expensive than the one over there? It's only two cents over there."

"Just go buy it over there because it's cheaper." Yun Shu said. When these people saw the Yun Palace was powerful, they all rushed to curry favor with it.

Now I wish I could step on it ten times.

"Yun Bai has made so many lanterns that his hands are all broken. If he can't sell them, he will get even thinner due to hunger. Even if you are Yun Bai's cousin, you can't stop Yun Bai from making money." The woman recognized Yun Bai and her face was so happy that people who didn't know her would think they had a very good relationship.

Song Fendi, ah Song Fendi, the person I disliked most before was Yun Bai.

A delicate young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A daughter of the Prince Yun’s Mansion.

They are of similar age and background, and have been compared together since childhood.

Today, the two can no longer be compared.

Originally everyone thought that after the Yun Palace fell from power, Song Fendi would become a candidate for the Crown Princess. After all, the Song family was not only a Duke's Mansion, but Song's father was also the current Prime Minister.

Who would have thought that when the Emperor was appointing the Crown Princess, Song Fendi of the Song family happened to be infected with smallpox. It was not known whether she could survive, so the position of Crown Princess fell to Song Fendi's sister Song Leyin.

Anyway, they are all from the Song family, so to outsiders, anyone can be considered as such.

"Which lantern does Miss Song like?" Yun Bai asked Song Fendi. Yun Bai knew that this young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion liked to argue with him since she was a child. How could she miss this opportunity today? She would have to face such a situation eventually.

Song Fendi didn't look at Yun Bai, but looked at the young ladies from official families behind her: "Whichever one you like, just pick it. I have plenty of money today."

The young ladies from official families behind him also gathered around him one by one.
