"Hey—aren't these... Dujuan and Zhenzhu!?"

Huamei still walked up to them.

Dujuan and Zhenzhu leaned close together and slowly raised their heads.

"Someone, slap me!"

Thinking back to the miserable state she left in, Huamei felt an uncontrollable rage as she looked at the two of them.

"Yes!!"

The two guards standing behind Hua Yan stepped forward, ready to strike her.

"stop!"

Zhang and Lü Qingyou came downstairs.

"Greetings, Your Highness. May I ask what my two maids have done that warrants being punished?"

Zhang stood there and asked a question.

Hua Yan remained standing, looking at Zhang Shi and Lü Qingyou with a detached expression.

However, when he looked at Lü Qingyou, his eyes held a kind of disgust that even she didn't know about.

"Huamei, why did you hit them?"

Hua Yan asked Hua Mei in a low voice.

"Because they were disrespectful to the princess...they were staring at her."

Hua Mei looked at Lü Qingyou, her eyes filled with hatred.

He wished he could beat Lü Qingyou up right now.

"..."

Hearing this, Lü Qingyou was truly amused; it was a classic case of finding fault where none existed.

This time-traveling woman actually kept Huamei by her side.

"Do it!"

Hua Mei gave another cold rebuke.

"no need……"

Hua Yan shook her head.

It's just that Feng Xuanyi doesn't like her, so why should she take it out on these two maids?

Hua Yan thought about it and then laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Go back!"

Hua Yan glanced at Lü Qingyou briefly before turning and leaving.

Hua Mei was very unwilling, but since the princess wouldn't do these things, she naturally couldn't do anything either.

She glared fiercely at Lü Qingyou.

"Just wait for me."

He even said something harsh before leaving.

"Mrs……"

"Miss……"

Pearl and Azalea helped each other to their feet.

"It's alright, have you all chosen your items?"

Seeing Zhang's face flushed red, Lü Qingyou asked the two of them a question.

"Everything is fine!"

Pearl answered.

"Go and get the bill from the shopkeeper, we're heading back!"

Lü Qingyou instructed Pearl to do something.

Zhang remained silent throughout, waiting until she was seated in the carriage.

Zhang's face was still very pale.

"mother……"

Lü Qingyou reached out and tugged at Zhang's sleeve.

Zhang's expression was still very unnatural.

"Qingyou, it's alright... Mother isn't angry... It's just that no matter how much money you have, it's not as good as having power. The social hierarchy is: scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants... Merchants are considered the lowest of the low and are looked down upon."

Zhang sighed softly and said slowly.

Lü Qingyou didn't know how to bring it up, but these things were all true.

Now we just have to wait for the harvest of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. If it's good, then we'll have done something good for the country.

At that time... I wonder if the emperor would give their family any rewards.

Some tangible rewards were bestowed, after all, even that beautiful woman had been granted the title of princess, and their family...

However... she's the female lead, so there's no comparison.

The mother and daughter did not continue speaking. After returning to the Lü residence, Lü Qingyou went to Zhang Shi's side and talked to her for a while. Seeing that Zhang Shi looked tired, Lü Qingyou told her to rest well and then went back herself.
