Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister

"It was all going to be a success, but of all times, her brother had to show up now!"

Widow Wang closed the door tightly and took her son inside to talk. "She's already a duck in a cage, are you afraid she'll fly away? It's only a matter of time, you can't rush things."

"I'm just feeling bad about wasting this bowl of pear juice; pears aren't cheap this season."

Wang Xiucai's expression was not good, and he took the pear juice out as he spoke.

"what are you going to do?"

"I took it out and threw it away. The person has already left. What's the point of keeping it?" Scholar Wang really regretted the pears inside.

To make the pear juice look appealing, he put a whole pear in it.

"Didn't you say yourself that it's so expensive? Let's keep it for now, maybe we'll need it tomorrow."

……

……

The next day.

Jiang Changtian bought two jin of pastries from a pastry shop and went to Chen Jingfeng's door.

A horse-drawn carriage stopped right at the entrance.

Xian'an stepped down from the carriage, followed by his servant carrying a number of things.

Seeing Jiang Changtian, he happily exclaimed, "Brother Jiang, what a coincidence!"

"I was thinking I was too early, but I didn't expect to run into you like this, which means I arrived just in time!"

After saying that, she looked at Jiang Changtian's hand with shining eyes. Could this guy have brought some delicious food again?

Instead of delicious food, they found gold.

Jinzi was followed by a servant boy, who was carrying two gift boxes in his arms.

Upon seeing the pastries in Jiang Changtian's hand, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jiang, is it always this... simple and unpretentious when you visit someone's home?"

Taking two bags of snacks to someone else's house—that's just how country bumpkins are! Who's going to laugh at them?

Jiang Changtian remained expressionless. "My family is poor, unlike you, Young Master Jin. I simply cannot afford to give you anything valuable. If you mind, Brother Chen, I will not come."

"Huh?" Jinzi laughed in exasperation.

Does this person have absolutely no sense of shame? How can they be so blunt as to say they're poor?

Before they could finish speaking, Jiang Changtian had already knocked on the door. The old butler and Chen Jingfeng opened the door and warmly invited them inside.

"Young master, let's go in," Jinzi's servant urged.

When they arrived in the courtyard, Chen Ting was there too, greeting them with a smile.

"Hello, Brother Jin and Brother Jiang, welcome to my home."

Jingfeng told her last night that guests would be coming today, so she got up early to dress up.

Looking at the unfamiliar Xian'an, he asked, "And who is this?"

"This is Young Master Xian," Chen Jingfeng said, then introduced Xian'an, "and this is my younger sister."

"Hello, Brother Xian." Chen Ting greeted him.

Xian'an almost got goosebumps when he heard him call him "brother". "It's better not to call him 'brother' the first time we meet, so as not to cause misunderstandings."

He'd seen plenty of girls like that; they looked silly and naive, but were actually cunning and scheming.

Chen Ting blushed instantly, looking completely flustered.

Chen Jingfeng could only apologize, "I'm so sorry, Young Master Xian, my sister is being unreasonable."

"fine."

The old butler said, "Please take your seats, gentlemen. The food will be ready soon."

After the old steward finished speaking, he went to get busy. There were no other servants in the small courtyard, so Chen Jingfeng had to attend to the guests, and he could only run around doing chores. Fortunately, the things were almost ready.

"Young Master Jin, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to stay here."

Chen Jingfeng specially bought some alcohol, although it wasn't anything fancy, but he still prepared it.

Jinzi had no interest in such wine and took a symbolic sip.

Jiang Changtian didn't care. When he was short of food and clothing, he had even eaten grass roots and tree bark, let alone wine made from grain.

When the old butler was serving the dishes, he noticed Chen Ting peeking outside and whispered a reminder, "Miss Ting, you should go back to your room. The young master is very particular about etiquette; it wouldn't be good if someone saw you like this."

"Uncle Chen, you're just meddling too much. What's wrong with that? Humph, you're just too old-fashioned!"

After saying that, Chen Ting simply went out.

……

Jiang Changtian, who was discreetly gathering information at the dinner table, had no idea that someone had followed him when he arrived.

Old Xu, wearing a large straw hat, followed Jiang Changtian furtively.

He came here to find out where Chen Jingfeng lived, so he could release a bug to scare Chen Ting and make her sabotage Yunyun's business.

hum.

Old Xu was trying to figure out how to get in when suddenly someone grabbed his arm.

I was so scared that I jumped three feet high.

When he turned around, he was met with an old face, and he was instantly furious.

"What are you doing? In broad daylight, why do you have to act like a ghost instead of a normal person? Don't you know that scaring someone can kill them!"

Prince Rui recognized the old man, but couldn't see his face no matter how he looked. He followed him closely to confirm his identity, and then launched into a tirade of abuse.

In a good mood, he asked, "What are you doing here, sir?"

"You wouldn't admit it last time, let's see what you say this time."

He always said his older brother would definitely come back.

At his age, he's had another daughter; he's old enough to be someone's grandfather.

Tsk tsk tsk, he has to make fun of this.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Get out of my way!" Old Xu shoved Prince Rui.

Prince Rui wasn't angry at being pushed. Instead, he took advantage of the fact that no one was around and came over with a smile. "Fine, if you don't want to admit it, then don't. What brings you here, sir?"

Speak up, old man, let's see how you lie. If you're so capable, come up with something truly convincing.

Old Xu's eyes darted around as he began to scrutinize Prince Rui.

Prince Rui looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Just as he was feeling uneasy, Old Xu spoke up: "I have a miracle drug here. I remember you're quite wealthy, kid. Give me the money, and I'll sell you one. Don't say I don't care about you!"

Selling medicine?

Prince Ruiqin was stunned, but he still subconsciously took out a silver note from his pocket.

"That's all?"

Old Xu snatched it from his hand, counted it, and then looked disgusted.

"This is 100,000 taels of silver, that's quite a lot. What do you need so much money for?" Prince Ruiqin asked curiously.

As the retired emperor, didn't he have his own private treasury? He's richer than me, so why would I take his money?

"Fine, fine, I'll let you have the advantage. Just remember to pay me back when you have the money. This is a life-saving pill, it can bring the dead back to life, it's priceless!"

As he spoke, Old Xu took out a small bottle from his pocket and reluctantly handed it to Prince Rui.

Prince Rui: ? ? ?

No, he felt like he didn't understand.

What exactly happened?

After selling the medicine, Old Xu ran away while Prince Rui was still in a daze.

Just as Prince Rui was about to chase after them, Chen Ting arrived.

Looking at Prince Rui with curiosity, she asked, "Old man, what are you doing around here again?"

What a coincidence! I just went out and ran into him again.

"Yes, I just happened to be passing by."

Prince Rui casually stuffed the medicine bottle into his pocket, thinking to himself, "I've made the right choice coming here today. She really is my elder brother's daughter."

My older brother must have come to see this daughter, but he caught me, so I was too embarrassed to go in.

He was really heartbroken to have been swindled out of so much money for no reason.

"I think the person you were talking to just now was the Jiang family's butler. Do you know each other?" Chen Ting asked with a curious look.

"The Jiang family's steward?" Prince Rui exclaimed in surprise. "You've mistaken me for someone else."

"I'm not mistaken! It's the Jiang family's butler."
