As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

The two talked for several hours. When it was almost time for dinner, the maid waiting at the gate said, "Madam, we should go back home."

Bai Huixian never allowed Xia Suling to stay outside for meals. He was even stricter when Xia Suling was not feeling well in the past. Now it was already difficult to allow Xia Suling to stay outside for such a long time.

Xia Suling, who had finally left the house to look for He Yue, felt a little reluctant, but could only say goodbye to her reluctantly, "Yueyue, I'll come to look for you next time."

He Yue was stunned when Xia Suling called her Yueyue. The intimate nickname "Yueyue" reminded her of her ex-boyfriend Duan Qidai who had been missing in modern times for two months.

The two of them had clearly reached the stage of discussing marriage and had agreed to get married after graduation from university, but he disappeared for no apparent reason and they could not find out where he was. In the end, her superiors gave her the conclusion that she should just wait patiently and not think the worst, as it was very likely that he would show up after a while.

"How can you come to see me every time? I will come to see you next time." He Yue stuffed all the bitter memories back into the depths, not daring to fall into them again.

Xia Suling didn't notice anything unusual about He Yue, "Okay, I'll wait for Yueyue."

She was helped out of the backyard by her maid and got on the carriage. It was actually raining, so He Yue hurried out with an umbrella and asked, "Su Ling, did you bring an umbrella?"

It was the maid who replied, "Don't worry, Madam He, there is an umbrella in the carriage."

The car curtain was opened, and Xia Suling waved her hand outward, "Yueyue, go back, don't get wet in the rain."

He Yue nodded and turned back to the courtyard. Through the rain curtain, holding an umbrella, she had a sense of quietness. Her figure was graceful, and her plain clothes and white flowers set off her.

The curtain fell and the carriage started moving. When it was about to leave Lijia Village, Xia Suling suddenly heard a shrill cry, "Please be kind! Don't kick me out! I really have nowhere to go!"

"Please be kind. I let you stay in this house for one more month. Isn't that a favor? If you want to blame someone, blame your useless gambler father!" The middle-aged man said in a rough voice.

Xia Suling was raised in seclusion since she was a child, and after she got married, she was raised in Bai Huixian's house, which cultivated her to be kind and compassionate. She frowned slightly and ordered, "Stop and see what's going on outside."

"Yes, ma'am." The maid obeyed.

The carriage stopped, and a maid got off first. She walked to three steps away from Li Xiaoshu and the middle-aged man and said arrogantly, "The one in the carriage is the county magistrate's wife. What are you doing blocking the road?!"

Li Xiaoshu and the middle-aged man retreated to the side of the road, not daring to block the way any longer. Li Xiaoshu knelt down with tears streaming down his face, and kowtowed repeatedly, "Madam County Magistrate, please be merciful and help me! I have no way out!"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth angrily at Li Xiaoshu, pointed at her, and his face flushed. "You are such a black-hearted girl, it's as if I'm forcing you to a dead end!"

He turned to face the maid, pointed his hand back, and pointed to the village, "Ask around, who wouldn't say I have a conscience?"

"I didn't run the gambling house in the county. The girl's father mortgaged the house, and he died clean. Of course, the house must be taken back! I'm just a debt collector. Because she was pitiful, I gave her a month's grace period, but she bit me back!"

Li Xiaoshu cried pitifully, saying that he had no way to survive, his clothes were torn, and he was so thin from hunger that he knelt down and trembled. "Please have mercy on me! Please have mercy on me!"

Xia Suling saw everything through the gap in the curtain. She was a Buddhist and had some feelings of saving the world. The tragedy happened vividly before her eyes. She couldn't bear to leave. "Xiao Shuang, take her back to the mansion."

…………

A few days later, He Yue kept her promise and planned to go to the county to look for Xia Suling. Ning Rushong happened to be going to look for Bai Huixian, so he took her with him.

He Yue was very worried. She sat in the large carriage with papers covered with words on her knees. She said dejectedly, "This Liu's shop is too overbearing. The rouge business in Min County is about to be monopolized by it."

It's okay to do some small business and open a small shop, but if you want to expand it, the supplier will not dare to supply, "You, please find some other business to do, I can't afford to offend Liu's shop!"

This immediately extinguished He Yue's ambition to expand and become stronger. She no longer planned to rent the big shop she had originally looked at, and now she was looking at some small shops.

Ning Rusong, who was sitting opposite her, looked at her and explained, "Liu's Rouge Shop is the business of Duke Liu's Mansion. The shop's deeds are all in the hands of Duke Liu's Mansion in Yuncheng. Others dare not offend them, not to mention that his family also has a concubine in the palace."

Today, she was going to the Bai residence, so she naturally had to dress neatly. He Yue also took off her white orchid flower and used a silver hairpin in the shape of an orchid, which looked elegant and beautiful. She raised her head and rested the back of her head against the slightly shaking wall of the car, and sighed, "If I can't do big business, I'll do small business."

She had clumsy hands, so it was Aunt Fang's daughter who combed her hair into such a neat bun.

Ning Rusong's expression was calm, but he said something shocking, "As long as Miss He wants, this Liu's Rouge Shop can be yours."

Originally in the previous life, this shop belonged to Yueyue.

He Yue didn't take it seriously, she just thought he was trying to cheer her up. Not to mention how he got the consent from Duke Liu's Mansion, he himself said that the shop's title deed was in Yuncheng, which was far away from Min County. Aunt Fang said it would take more than a month to go back and forth.
