Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

"I am the shopkeeper of Qianweilou. Miss Yao, I wonder if I could have a word with you for a moment." Shopkeeper Sun said in a very respectful manner.

"So it's you. If you have anything to say, just talk here! I have something to do later!" She said why she felt familiar with him. It turned out to be the owner of Qianweilou. She hadn't settled the score with him for hiring someone to slander her shop before!

"Then I won't beat around the bush with Miss Yao. Sun came here to invite Miss Yao to cooperate with our restaurant. You can set any conditions you want."

"I'm a woman and I know nothing. How can you cooperate with me?" Yao Qingnian deliberately looked confused.

"Miss Yao, don't be so modest. You can even think of something like hot pot, so how can you not know anything? I know everything about you and Yunlai Restaurant. In the past, we didn't understand the situation and failed to recognize the important person, which led to misunderstandings and many offenses. I, Sun, have come here in person today to apologize to you." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"There's no need to apologize. You've already made the hot pot, so why are you coming to me? Please go back! I have signed an agreement with Yunlai Restaurant. I will not give the recipe to anyone, nor will I cooperate with other restaurants." Yao Qingnian waved his hand and refused.

"Miss Yao, I'm not afraid to tell you that our restaurant is backed by His Royal Highness Prince Rui. You know Prince Rui, he's the brother of the current emperor, and his status can be said to be above one man and below ten thousand people. I heard that your son is studying in an academy, and your husband just returned from the battlefield not long ago. As long as you agree, your son and husband will have a bright future. As for the agreement you signed with Yunlai Restaurant, we will help you deal with it, so you don't have to worry. How about it, do you want to consider it?" Shopkeeper Sun thought he had offered extremely tempting conditions. He thought that Yao Qingnian was an ignorant country girl, and if he used the future of her son and her husband as a condition, she would definitely have no reason to refuse.

"So what about Prince Rui?" Yao Qingnian chuckled. She had known about this for a long time, but she didn't expect that the man from Qianweilou would let someone check her family background.

"That's the high and mighty King Rui. If you follow us, your future will be limitless!" The shopkeeper didn't expect Yao Qingnian to be so ungrateful. He even brought up King Rui, but she was so dismissive. This country girl must not know King Rui's identity, so she was so contemptuous. He had someone check it out long ago. Yao Qingnian was just a bumpkin from the countryside. She didn't have any knowledge and she probably couldn't even read. She probably just had luck to come up with so many dishes.

So what if he is Prince Rui? The emperor is behind Yunlai Restaurant. Is he arrogant? Yao Qingnian refused without thinking: "Don't think about it. I won't cooperate with you."

“Miss Yao, are you determined to go against our Qianweilou? I can give you everything that their Yunlai Restaurant can give you. You should know that the ability to establish a relationship with King Rui is the result of eight generations of merit accumulated by your ancestors.” The shopkeeper was a little surprised that the country girl actually refused. Could it be that Qianweilou gave her some benefit that was more useful than King Rui? How was it possible? They had already inquired about it and the owner behind Yunlai Restaurant was also from the capital. But even if he was from the capital, so what? Could they have a stronger backing?

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I've said I won't cooperate with you. Even if King Rui came here in person today, I would still say the same thing." Yao Qingnian rolled his eyes.

"Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit! You are just a country girl, and it is an honor for your family to have the opportunity to meet King Rui. Don't be ungrateful. I'm already giving you face by letting you make any conditions you want. If you don't agree today, you will have a hard time in Anding County in the future." Seeing Yao Qingnian's stubbornness, Manager Sun got angry. This stinky girl actually didn't take King Rui seriously.

"Are you threatening me?" Yao Qingnian smiled contemptuously. If he couldn't invite her anymore, he had to turn it into a threat.

"He who knows the current situation is a hero, Miss Yao, you are smart, I believe you can still distinguish between the important and the unimportant." Shopkeeper Sun looked at her proudly, and then warned in a low voice: "In Anding County, if we want to kill you and your family, it is as easy as killing an ant."

"I, Yao Qingnian, am not someone who can be scared of anyone. If you dare to touch even a hair on my family, just try it! What can you do if I don't agree? Get out of here! Don't bark like a dog in front of my shop. It's really unlucky." Yao Qingnian's voice sounded without any warmth.

"You! Just wait for me!" Shopkeeper Sun glared at Yao Qingnian angrily, then left with his men.

Yao Qingnian looked at the back of Shopkeeper Sun as he left, and thought of what Shopkeeper Wan said, that the shopkeeper of Qianweilou was an old villain who would take revenge for any slight, and would do things behind the scenes. It seemed that he had not had a peaceful life recently.

As expected, within two days, people came to Yao Qingnian's shop and Yunlai Restaurant to cause trouble, but fortunately they were well prepared and all the problems were easily resolved.

What's even more hateful is that the people from Qianweilou wanted to attack Yinuo. Fortunately, Xuanfeng was hiding in the dark and prevented them from succeeding. They even dared to attack her family. Yao Qingnian couldn't stand it anymore and decided to find a way to teach the people from Qianweilou a lesson.

In the Prince Rui’s Palace in the capital.

Princess Nan Qing'er of Prince Rui was checking the account books and listening to the steward's report on the assets of Prince Rui's mansion. Ever since the incident with Shen Youran, Prince Rui no longer went out to spend money and party, but instead concentrated on assisting Prince Jing, the current emperor. When the emperor ascended the throne, he did not vent his anger on them, his brothers and sisters, but instead allowed them to enjoy the same treatment as before. Prince Rui and the others were grateful, so they had no second thoughts and were now concentrating on doing their own job well.

The Prince Rui's Mansion was handed over to Nan Qing'er to manage. The couple treated each other with respect. There was only one concubine, Wu, in the backyard. Concubine Wu was also very honest now. Apart from serving Prince Rui, she did not dare to act like a demon or have other thoughts. Therefore, the Prince Rui's Mansion was now unusually harmonious.

"Manager, what's going on with this shop? It used to have good business, but why is it suffering such heavy losses recently?" Nan Qing'er asked with a frown, looking at the account book in her hand.

"Princess, this is a restaurant called Qianweilou in Anding County owned by our prince. There have been some problems recently, and the prince knows about it."

"What's the problem?" Nan Qing'er asked casually.

"I heard that there was a very capable girl who asked the Yunlai Restaurant over there to launch hot pot, which attracted all the customers. As a result, the business of Qianweilou plummeted. The prince even specifically asked the shopkeeper over there to make sure to poach people to our side!" replied the steward.
