The Regent Princess has run away again

Xue Yulu swept away the cups on the table, shaking with anger. No wonder she hadn't seen Cai Wentao in the past few days. It turned out that he had been bewitched by that little bitch.

Lvyi stood at the back and did not rush forward. She waited until Xue Yulu had almost finished venting her anger before she slowly spoke, "Auntie, please do not worry. This news came from Auntie Zi. She probably wants to sit back and watch us fight each other. If you fall into the trap, Master Cai will know about it and he will feel alienated."

Xue Yulu sat on a soft chair beside her and did not comment on what Lu Yi said.

"Is there any movement from her end?"

"We don't know yet. Aunt Zi is very tight-lipped and has only released information that she wants us to know. But I have asked someone to keep a close eye on it."

"Well, I trust you to do the job, you are worthy of being my eldest sister's man."

Lu Yi didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, she continued, "The eldest lady asked you to go back in a couple of days. She and the lady miss you."

"Okay, got it. You continue to help me keep an eye on that side."

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xue Zhiyu took out an older Chinese medicine beauty book from the space. Facial masks have been gaining good reputation recently, so she planned to get some whitening ones.

"Angelica dahurica, Atractylodes macrocephala, Bletilla striata, White peony root, White Poria cocos, Bombyx batryticatus..."

After grinding all the herbs into powder, he put them in a large jar, labeled them, and then stood up and rubbed his wrists.

"Miss, you can let me do it. You must be tired now," Xiao Qiu walked over and pushed Xue Zhiyu back onto the stone bench, rubbing her shoulders while complaining.

"Anyway, I don't need to go to the clinic often, and the hot pot restaurant hasn't opened yet, so I'm pretty free right now. I might as well grind some flour and come with me to see my mother later."

"Yes, ma'am."

.......

"Madam, don't you see how arrogant Princess Kangle is? It's just because she has achieved success, but I think she is so proud of herself," Jin'e said indignantly in the back, with her hands on her waist and eyes full of resentment.

Yu Jiaojiao, who originally looked weak and delicate, disappeared completely after entering the yard. Instead, a sinister look that was inconsistent with her beauty appeared on her face.

"Hmph, let's see how long she can stay so glorious. I won't tell you any more. I'll prepare dinner first. The master will be back soon."

"Madam's craftsmanship is becoming more and more sophisticated. No wonder Master Cai dotes on you so much," Jin'e quickly followed behind and joked.

Yu Jiaojiao smiled and said nothing, then went into the small kitchen and started busying herself.

"Ma'am, guess who I saw when I first came in?"

"Who?"

"I saw that guy Aren acting sneaky. He must be obsessed with you, madam."

Yu Jiaojiao paused while holding the shovel, and a flash of disgust flashed across her eyes. "Don't mention him to me, it's unlucky."

"Yes, then Madam, would you like to prepare food for tonight?"

"When the master comes back later, we can have dinner."

"Boom boom boom!"

"Coming, coming," Jin'e wiped her hands and went to open the door.

Unexpectedly, there were two middle-aged men standing at the door, one was burly and the other was skinny. Seeing that the person who opened the door was not the one they were looking for, the burly man shouted, "Hurry up and let your wife come out to see us!"

Jin'e asked warily, "Who are you?"

The two people seemed to have heard some joke. The skinny man came over and narrowed his eyes as big as green beans. "We are the madam's patrons. If she is not here to see us, be careful with my mouth. I don't know what she will say." One hand took out a piece of clothing from the sleeve.

Jin'e recognized the object and her face turned pale with fright. She quickly walked back to the kitchenette and reported the situation to Yu Jiaojiao.

After hearing this, Yu Jiaojiao clenched the corner of her clothes and said, "I think he is here to extort money. Send him away quickly and bring the clothes back to me."

"But, they want you to go out in person."

"it is good."

When the two men saw Yu Jiaojiao walking towards them, the burly man said exaggeratedly, "Jiaojiao, you're finally here."

"Shut up! I don't know you. Tell me, who ordered you to do this? I'll give you three times the price."

"Yu Jiaojiao, I finally see you clearly. We two brothers have treated you so well over the years, but you went with other people for that little bit of money. And now you're pretending not to know us!"

After the skinny man finished speaking, he seemed extremely angry. He picked up the clothes and waved them up, "Neighbors, please judge for yourself. We two brothers believe that we have been kind to this woman, but she followed other people for a few bucks and took all our money. We did not wrongly accuse her. What we have in our hands is the evidence!"

With this shout, more and more people gathered around.

Yu Jiaojiao saw that something was wrong and tried to close the door, but the burly man was holding it with one hand and she couldn't close it.

“This relationship is really messy.”

"Oh, that's right. I remember that the man who came in and out seemed to be the son of the Minister of Revenue."

"Didn't that guy just marry a concubine? Why is he keeping another one outside?"

"Hush, we ordinary people should just watch the government's affairs and watch the fun. Let's go, let's go."

"Look, look, speak of the devil," the woman nudged the middle-aged man next to her.

Cai Wentao had understood a little bit along the way. Veins on his forehead were exposed. He pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes were full of sinisterness.

When he walked in front of Yu Jiaojiao, he couldn't bear it anymore and slapped her with all his strength, "Bitch! How dare you lie to me?!"

Yu Jiaojiao didn't expect Cai Wentao to slap her suddenly. She fell to the ground and her elbow was rubbed raw. She covered her right face which quickly became red and swollen, and looked at Cai Wentao with tears in her eyes.

She cried so pitifully. If it were in the past, Cai Wentao would have felt pity for her, but now it was just an endless annoyance. He seemed to feel unsatisfied and kicked her again, "You can't live without a man, right? Come here!"

"Yes."

"Sell her to a brothel and ask the madam to take good care of her."

The two middle-aged men outside the door realized that their goal had been achieved and took advantage of the chaos to run away.

When Yu Jiaojiao heard this, she was struck by lightning and cried even harder. She didn't care about the pain on her face and hurriedly pulled Cai Wentao's clothes, "Sir, I am innocent. I really haven't done anything to let you down. Please investigate clearly."

"Humph! Who knows where you usually go? I saw it clearly. The man took your underwear. Do you still dare to say that you didn't do anything to let me down?!"

Cai Wentao became angrier as he spoke, and kicked away Yu Jiaojiao's hand that was holding his clothes.

"Master Cai, please be wise. Our lady is truly wronged!" Jin'e also stepped forward to plead.

"I think I'm the one who got taken advantage of. Take this bitch away quickly. And this maid is also an eyesore."

"What about this maid?"

"Sell it to the cellar."

Seeing Cai Wentao was about to leave, Yu Jiaojiao seemed to remember something and said anxiously, "Sir, I have our child now. Even if you don't think about me, you have to think about our child."

Cai Wentao glanced at him, his eyes full of mockery, "Who knows whose child this is? If you say one more word, it won't be as simple as sending him to a brothel," and then he turned around and left quickly.

Yu Jiaojiao and Jin'e were dragged away by several servants.

........

The Office of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Aunt Zi stroked her belly while listening to the maid's report.

"Well, you go down first."

After the maid left, Aunt Zi played with the beads in her hand. Although she was happy in her heart, she still looked calm on the surface.

"Zi'er."

"Sir, you're back," Aunt Zi pretended nothing had happened and helped Cai Wentao undress as usual.

Seeing Aunt Zi like this, Cai Wentao felt even more ashamed and hugged the person from before him tightly, "Zi'er, you still treat me the best."

"You are my husband. If I don't treat you well, who can I treat well?"

"I......"

"Sir, you don't have to explain to me. I believe that everything you do must have your own intentions."

When Cai Wentao heard this, he felt both guilty and satisfied about Aunt Zi's trust in him, compared to Yu Jiaojiao who betrayed him.

........

Xue Zhiyu took a few bottles of trial packs to the pharmacy to see how they sold before deciding whether to mass-produce them.

"Junior sister!"

"Mingzhi, Master, where have you been during this time?"

Mingzhi strode over and poked her forehead, "You are trying to trick me."

Xue Zhiyu curled her lips, "I'm just concerned about you."

A smile flashed across Mu Xingchen's clear eyes, and he walked forward and asked, "How have you been recently? Have you been bullied by anyone?"

"I've been doing okay lately. No one should dare to bully me now. After all, I'm the apprentice of the number one genius doctor," he said, raising his chin with a hint of arrogance.

Mingzhi continued, "I think she is the only one who can bully others now."

"Let's go."

"Where to?" Xue Zhiyu didn't quite understand where Mu Xingchen was going.

"Of course it's a treasure given to you by your master. Why do you have so many questions? It's not like I'm selling you out."

"Oh, is someone envious? It seems that it is clear now who is the master's true disciple."

Mingzhi rolled his eyes speechlessly, snorted and said nothing more.
