The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

As the man finished speaking, Wei Yan looked a little flustered.

At this time, a servant in the crowd smiled and said to the man, "It seems that you are also a frequent visitor of our Tingyu Pavilion!"

After the servant's reminder, the man remembered it instantly.

He said to Wei Yan, "Why does he look so familiar? Isn't he Miss Yu Rou's guest?"

The man's words instantly changed Wei Yan's expression.

He didn't expect that he would be recognized.

When Jiang Meimei heard this, her face turned pale instantly.

Tingyu Pavilion, Yurou.

These two words are known to everyone in this county.

The three words "Tingyu Pavilion" sound like a teahouse, but actually it is a brothel. Yu Rou is the top courtesan there. She is very beautiful, but she only sells her art and not her body. The more this is the case, the more those men will think she is untainted by the world, and then they are willing to do anything to win her favor.

Not only people from their town, but also guests from several nearby towns often come here to listen to her play.

It is said that some time ago, a man gave tens of thousands of taels to the owner of Tingyu Pavilion in order to marry her, but he still failed to get Miss Yu Rou's nod. I really don't know what kind of man she wants to marry.

Jiang Meimei said in a trembling voice: "Did you really go to Tingyu Pavilion to find Miss Yu Rou? Are you going to break off the engagement with me just because of a cheap prostitute?" The further she spoke, the sharper Jiang Meimei's voice became.

"Wei Yan, she is just a prostitute. How could you humiliate me like this for a woman like that?" Her tears burst out instantly and she shouted angrily: "The love we have had since childhood is not as good as that of a prostitute. It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!"

Wei Yan stood there, his face gloomy, as if he was suppressing his anger. After a while, he whispered, "Yu Rou is not the kind of person you think. She is deeply trapped in this and has no control over her fate."

Shang Ruoyi sneered: "What a fate that is beyond one's control. Master Wei really knows how to be considerate of others."

The obviously sarcastic words made Wei Yan's face change slightly.

However, when his eyes fell on Shang Ruoyi's face, which was much more beautiful than Yu Rou's, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

There are such iconic people in this world.

Shang Ruoyi felt particularly disgusted by his gaze and coughed heavily: "Master Wei, Miss Jiang, now that the facts are clear, I wonder how Miss Jiang plans to compensate for the losses in my shop?" She smiled and said, "I have been delayed by you for so long, I don't know how much money I have lost."

Jiang Meimei's face flushed, and she took out a hundred taels of silver from her bosom and put them on the table: "Is this enough?" Although there was still arrogance in her eyes, the aura around her had been greatly reduced.

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "That's enough. There's still some left." Shang Ruoyi took the banknote and flicked it a few times in her hand. "In that case, I'll say a few words to you, young lady!"

"What?"

"Some people are not good people. Even if they are forced to get together, they will just waste their lives. A person's life is not long, nor is it short. It is just a day after day. But how to live your life is up to you. Women don't have to rely on men. Only by relying on themselves can they gain a foothold in the world." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "That's all I have to say. Miss Jiang, please take care of yourself."

The people queuing behind her were all shocked when they heard her words.

Women don't have to depend on men?

How can it be?

Which woman in this world does not obey her father at home, obey her husband after marriage, and obey her son after her husband's death?

This is the rule passed down by our ancestors.

The woman who had just started the commotion sneered when she heard this: "I was wondering if you were a strange woman. Which woman doesn't listen to her husband? This is what our ancestors decided, so we should just obey it."

"Are all the rules set by our ancestors correct?" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "The ancestors you mentioned used to eat raw meat in the beginning! Why don't you learn from them?"

"What do you mean by eating raw meat? You are just talking nonsense!"

Shang Ruoyi glanced at her, too lazy to argue with her: "Since you said that you would follow the rules of the ancestors, put your husband first in everything, and listen to him, then why did you come to me today to make trouble? It shows that the rules of the ancestors are not necessarily correct."

Shang Ruoyi's words left her speechless.

Jiang Meimei felt her back was soaked with sweat.

Only by relying on herself can a woman stand firm in this world.

On their own.

She looked at Shang Ruoyi in front of her, and her heart suddenly calmed down, as if she had found her backbone.

When Jiang Meimei looked at Wei Yan again, the desolate look in her eyes had completely disappeared.

"Wei Yan, today it is your Wei family that made the mistake. You, Wei Yan, are blind and chose to break off the engagement with my Jiang family for a mere prostitute. Since you have made up your mind, I will accept it." She used force to tear off a piece of her skirt and threw it on the ground: "From now on, you and I will sever our ties and ties. Tomorrow, someone from my clan will come to your house in person to cancel the engagement and take back the token."

Jiang Meimei turned around and bowed deeply to Shang Ruoyi.

"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading." Jiang Meimei said softly, "Thank you for your frank words today. I am very grateful. I will definitely bring a valuable gift to thank you in the future."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left without even looking at Wei Yan.

Shang Ruoyi didn't take this matter to heart, but she didn't expect that the next day, the Jiang family sent the housekeeper to pick her up in person.

"Madam Shang, my lady is in love."

Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Jiang Meimei would actually do what she said.

She arrived at the Jiang family. Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were standing at the door. When they saw her coming down from above, Mrs. Jiang hurried forward and said, "This must be Madam Shang! She is indeed a very iconic person."

"Greetings, Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang." Shang Ruoyi was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that the couple would greet her at the door.

Jiang Meimei walked forward and put her arm around her in a familiar manner: "Mom, I'll tell you! Madam Shang is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."

Shang Ruoyi was not impressed by Jiang Meimei's rapid change of expression. She pulled her arm out of her hand and said with a smile, "Mrs. Jiang, you are too kind."

"Come into the mansion quickly!" Master Jiang said, "It's very cold outside, don't catch a cold."

Entering the mansion, Shang Ruoyi handed her cloak to Xunmei, wearing a warm satin robe of sky blue.

Seeing this, Jiang Meimei said enviously: "Sister Shang's dress is so beautiful. The material is not like the one sold in our cloth shops." The Jiang family started out in the clothing business and later entered the officialdom, so they are extremely sensitive to these things.

The material is warm satin produced in Jiangnan. He Jingheng knew that she didn't like to wear something too heavy, so he specially asked Yunqi to find it.

The warm season is rare and not much is produced throughout the year, so most of it is tributed to the palace.

All the produce this year was secretly transported here by He Jingheng.
