The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Yu Ruyue didn't understand why these people were suddenly picking on her, so she retorted, "None of your business?"

Then he looked at the waiter, pointed at the inkstone next to him and asked, "Are you still doing business? How much are these two?"

The noise outside attracted the shopkeeper from the inner hall. He directly introduced the price without any contempt in his eyes.

"A pen costs two hundred coins, and an inkstone costs one hundred and twenty coins!"

Shen Jiaojiao gasped in surprise. Just these two things together cost 320 Wen to buy more than 60 kilograms of brown rice!

Seeing that Yu Ruyue didn't show any surprise, the two scholars thought she was just pretending. "Oh! I'm afraid the money you're selling your body for a wedding is not worth 320 coins!? I advise you to leave here as soon as possible and stop polluting the place..."

Before the scholar could finish his words, Yu Ruyue took out a handful of copper coins and calmly counted out 320 coins, placing them on the table. "I want these two things. Please, shopkeeper, pack them for me!"

Now it was the scholars' turn to be stunned. That was 320 coins!

They worked so hard to copy a book, but could only earn 300 coins, and they had to pay for the pens and ink themselves...

Just as Yu Ruyue reached out to take the inkstone and brush, a large hand suddenly grabbed her arm tightly and demanded angrily, "Where did you get all this money from? Could it be that some man you hooked up with before gave it to you?"

"I'm telling you! Since this money is given to you, it belongs to my Shen family. You have no right to spend it recklessly outside. Even if you buy something to please me, I won't..."

"Woooooooo..."

The inexplicable man wanted to continue to swear, but Shen Ruichen covered his mouth tightly and dragged him out with all his strength.

"Um~Miss Yu, I'm so sorry, we're leaving now."

After saying that, he dragged the strange man out.

Yu Ruyue looked at Shen Jiaojiao with some confusion, "Do you know that person just now? Why is he so strange?"

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head in confusion. "He does look familiar, but I can't remember who he is. But it seems like he has a mental problem, otherwise he wouldn't have acted like you killed his entire family the moment he walked in."

Yu Ruyue also felt that this person looked familiar. Thinking back on his words and actions, a bold guess suddenly came to her mind.

So she rolled her eyes, smiled, and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, you saw it too. Those guys just now seemed to be a bit off-key. If I were you, I wouldn't give the book to them. After all, a book costs several taels of silver. What if these guys suddenly get angry and tear up your book? You won't even be able to cry."

"Besides, not only did they dare to act like a boss on your turf, they even insulted and assaulted your customers. It seems they don't take you, a mere merchant, seriously. If word gets out, I'm afraid no one will dare to buy from you anymore!"

The shopkeeper understood the meaning of the little girl's words. Although there was a hint of threat in her words, she did have some truth to her words.

So he immediately asked the waiter to retrieve the books from those people to avoid unexpected losses.

Seeing the shopkeeper being so considerate, Yu Ruyue bought another stack of rice paper from him. "Don't be sad, shopkeeper. My brother's handwriting is better than those half-baked ones! It's a pity that he's been sick recently. When he recovers, I'll bring him here so you can see what it means to be a good person! And a good handwriting too!"

The shopkeeper was amused when he heard this. This little girl not only got her revenge, but she even wanted to take on work for her sick brother...

Just as Yu Ruyue left, Shen Ruichen hurried back with his men.

"Shopkeeper, didn't we agree on this? Why are you suddenly taking the books back? This is truly ungentlemanly. It's going to warn other students, and who would dare to come and copy books from you?"

Behind Shen Ruichen, the man who had attacked Yu Ruyue shouted unconvincedly, "What gives you the right to go back on your word? If it weren't for us brothers copying books for your shabby little bookshop, how could you have made so much money? Believe it or not, I'll go back to the academy and make sure all the students don't come to your bookshop to buy things or copy books for you. Then let's see how you can make money!"

"It's really ungrateful."

The shopkeeper, who was originally a little embarrassed, suddenly became furious. "I think you are really ungrateful. You really think I can't live without you. Who do you think you are? Let me make this clear today. No one else dares to accept you except my Moxiang Bookstore."

"If you don't believe me, you can try it."

When the man heard this, he stopped pretending and started swearing at the door of the bookstore. He was so embarrassed that Shen Ruichen covered his face tightly and had to drag the man away.

Because of this uproar, all the bookstores in Lu County dared not hire these people to copy books, and even the teachers in the academy found them and scolded them severely.

Yu Ruyue never thought that those scholars would ruin her way of making money by copying books. Even Shen Jiaojiao didn't take it seriously at all. After all, if she didn't copy books in this bookstore, she could go to another bookstore to make money.

Moreover, my eldest brother’s classmates are indeed too much and should be taught a lesson.

The two of them got in the carriage and returned to the village happily.

A lot of people gathered at the entrance of the village. Upon closer inspection, most of them were the gossipy women who stood at the door of the Shen family yesterday and made sarcastic remarks.

"Look! That little whore is back!"

"You're back so early! I can tell you you haven't sold anything. Maybe you've offended someone in the city."

"Hahaha! This little whore must have been beaten back by those nobles in the city!"

When Shen Jiaojiao heard these words, she immediately wanted to jump off the ox cart with the basket in her hand and argue with these people, asking them to open their eyes and see the delicious food inside the basket!!!

Yu Ruyue quickly pulled the person back and shook her head.

Shen Jiaojiao immediately remembered Yu Ruyue's advice. There were only so many hawthorns and red berries on the mountain. If these gossips knew that they could really make money, it would probably not be their turn.

The actions of the two were seen by those people, which made them more certain of their guesses and they spoke without restraint.

"Hey, the guy who went to the city to do big business is back?"

"How much money did you make in total? Is it enough for the trip?!"
