TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and Ziwei took people to inspect various villages.

Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi have been having a lot of trouble recently, so she decided to go out and relax as well.

This place is not full of babies as outsiders think. There are also many half-grown girls, most of whom are living on the streets for various reasons.

After being brought here, do what you can.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei walked towards the back mountain under the leadership of the steward. She frowned and kept complaining, and picked a bunch of grapes from a tree by the roadside.

I simply rinsed it in the basin next to it and put it in my mouth.

"Ziwei, you don't know, he seems to have become a different person. Nothing I do is right. In short, he just doesn't like me."

"Oh~ This is so sweet, you should try it too."

Xiaoyanzi fed Ziwei one as she spoke, and her attention was instantly diverted.

"I don't know where Yan Ning found the seeds. There are so many rare fruits here. It's really good to grow them."

The steward wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly responded. Finally, he didn't have to listen to this ancestor talking about palace secrets.

"You two ladies, you may not know that the various seedlings sent by the master are all of the best quality. You don't need to worry about them at all. With proper care, they are many times better than those on the market."

"In addition to these fruits, flowers from various farms are also selling very well this year, and perfumes and ointments are in short supply."

The steward paused for a moment after he finished speaking, with a strange expression on his face.

It was like admiration and heartache, "If those girls didn't have to study and practice martial arts, the output would be even higher."

"Scarcity makes things valuable, and this is just right."

Ziwei had seen these accounts and naturally knew how huge the profits were.

These were not things that ordinary people would use, so Yan Ning used them to reap the wealth of the rich.

Sufficient value has been created, and the girls feel more at ease staying here. As long as they work hard, they can live well.

The chrysanthemums on the back mountain bloom even better, and various rare varieties bloom in the fields like ordinary wild flowers.

"Mother Liu, this batch of Bijiangxia flowers are the best. Let's sell them out while the weather is good. Only the best ten pots will be kept in Beijing, and the rest will be used to make ointments."

"And have someone select a Taiye Lotus and send it to the carriage."

Ziwei sent the steward away and turned around to see Xiaoyanzi plucking petals from a flower, muttering softly, "It's obviously a chrysanthemum, why give it such a name?"

"Stop messing with it and tell me, what happened between you and the Fifth Prince?"

Xiaoyanzi sighed and threw the remaining flowers back into the bushes. "Ziwei, why does love change?"

"you ask me?"

Xiaoyanzi was amused by Ziwei's surprised look, but when she remembered that she was the one getting married, she held her arm and smiled embarrassedly.

"This person is very strange. The Emperor wants to choose a concubine for Yongqi. Did you know about this?"

"I've heard the Empress mention it, but it's not confirmed yet. What does Fifth Prince think?"

"Oh, him? He can't wait for the concubine to come in."

Ziwei felt sad when she saw her pretending to be relaxed smile. It had only been a short time since they got married, and everything had changed.

"So...what are your plans?"

Xiaoyanzi looked around and whispered in Ziwei's ear, "I got a secret medicine. I'll be leaving here in a few days."

She put her hand on Ziwei's lips, stopping her from exclaiming.

"Don't worry, it won't be long, we'll see each other again."

"Is there no turning back? You've been through so much, what does everything before that mean?"

The little swallow looked up into the distance and saw a few magpies circling there and then flying towards the mountains.

She looked back at Ziwei and shook her head solemnly.

"I married Yongqi because I loved him. If I don't love him anymore, of course I have to leave."

She rubbed Ziwei's frown and said, "Okay, don't be like that. I'm fine, really."

"If I see a tempting melon in front of me, I'll naturally be curious if I haven't tried it before. But if I try it and don't like it, I can naturally throw it away and never think about it again. Isn't that a good thing?"

Xiaoyanzi did not want to choose such an extreme method at first. She had quarreled with Yongqi and tried to stay in the palace and be a "virtuous" wife.

It wasn't until another quarrel a few days ago that Yongqi blurted out.

"If you hadn't married me, how could a fake princess like you have the ability to live your current life!"

This sentence woke Xiaoyanzi up. She went to the emperor to ask for a divorce, but was met with a merciless scolding.

No amount of love can compare to the royal family's reputation.

In desperation, he went to Kunning Palace.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Ziwei did not try to persuade her any further. They were not children anymore and had to be responsible for their own choices.

As they were talking, they came to the outside of the school. Through the window, Ziwei seemed to see the small house in Jinan city.

At that time, they could not even afford pens and ink, and there were very few girls who learned to read.

"Chastity and tranquility are the foundation of a woman's virtue..."

When the childish sound of reading was heard, Ziwei's face changed. She listened quietly for a while. Now even Xiaoyanzi felt that something was wrong.

"What is she teaching? I've already been abandoned by my parents, so why should I learn about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, chastity, and demureness? What the hell is that?"

Ziwei immediately had the female teacher inside tied up and taken out.

"What are you two doing? I don't know what I did wrong to deserve such humiliation!"

She stiffened her neck and looked stubborn, not seeming to be afraid of being punished at all.

"What were you telling them just now? This isn't in the book the steward sent. Why aren't you following the rules?"

Ziwei's harsh rebuke didn't scare the other person.

"Your Excellency, you are wronging me. I am a female teacher hired by the princess, so naturally I am wholeheartedly considering them. I am not taking the imperial examination, so why should I learn those things?"

"Only if you learn these well can you marry into a good family."

"The steward has no children and doesn't understand these things, so I naturally have to share some of the burden for the princess."

"Shut up! This is nonsense." Xiaoyanzi picked up the book and smashed it hard on the man.

She heard Yan Ning's order with her own ears: it was okay to study, but not to learn those pretentious rules and regulations. Yet this person actually acted on his own initiative.

And he is so confident.

The steward received the news and hurried over, "Princess, please calm down. This servant was not aware of this matter. Please forgive me."

When the woman on the ground heard her call "Gege", her body suddenly collapsed and she kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Ziwei looked at the steward coldly, "How can you shirk responsibility by saying you didn't know anything about it? How can you be worthy of the princess's trust?"

The manager nodded repeatedly, feeling a pang of regret.

It’s good enough to let these girls study, who cares what they are teaching?

If she had known that the princess cared so much, she would have come to take a closer look more often. The profits had increased so much, but the princess didn't seem happy. Now she was in trouble because of this little thing.

Ziwei punished the two people without mercy. When the woman on the ground heard that she would not only be beaten with a stick but also be kicked out, she immediately became anxious.

The food and accommodation here are good, and she is paid. She can't be kicked out.

"Please forgive me, Princess. I will never do that again. I was invited by the princess, and I even have a chastity arch granted by the court. I am a well-known good person in this area. Princess, please forgive me!"

When Ziwei heard the word "chastity arch", her eyes flashed. She waved her hand and had someone cover her mouth and drag her away.

After this incident, Yan Ning spent a lot of money to put loyalty talismans on every manager.

She doesn't want the people she raised with great effort to eventually become weak and frail "good wives and mothers".
