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

"That explains why I didn't see my sister in the crowd earlier."

Consort Lan took a sip of tea with her delicate fingers raised and then put it down.

Madam Guan, holding the Buddhist prayer beads in her hand, spoke up, "Your Highness's visit so late at night, is it not just to see an old woman like me? You might as well speak frankly."

"I can't hide it from Mother. Actually, it was the Emperor who sent me here today. I've come to persuade my sister."

Consort Lan looked sorrowful. "Mother, may I see my sister?"

"Your Highness is well aware of Su Yi's condition; I'm afraid she cannot see Your Highness." Old Madam Guan's expression was not good, but she tried her best to soften her tone.

"Then I'll go see my sister. I'll trouble Mother to show me the way."

Regardless of how unpleasant Madam Guan's expression was, Consort Lan insisted that she lead the way.

When they arrived at the entrance of the small Buddhist hall, they saw Xiugu standing outside, holding a bowl of medicine in her hand.

Xiugu bowed and blocked the doorway, preventing Consort Lan from entering.

Consort Lan didn't go in, but stood at the door and said, "Sister, I've come to see you. How are you?"

"Enough said. I will not remarry. You want me to remarry my enemy? I'd rather die!"

Guan Suying's angry voice came from the small Buddhist hall, followed by the maid's exclamation.

"Madam, Madam, wake up!"

"Sister, why are you so stubborn!"

Consort Lan sighed, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, and hurriedly left the Guan family, covering her eyes with a handkerchief.

That night, I heard that the emperor was furious in his bedchamber.

……

……

Lin Shuyun got up at dawn and steamed a pot of pumpkin cake.

We have too many pumpkins to eat, so we'll make pumpkin cakes and sell them.

Breakfast was also pumpkin cake, and Lin Shuyun packed a few pieces for Jiang Changtian as well.

It's hot and doesn't keep well; it will spoil if you don't finish it.

Seeing that Lin Shuyun was going to set up a cake stall, Old Xu said from the side, "Girl, I won't go. I'll stay home and watch the house after I drop this kid off. You can have Xiaoqing or Xiaohong go with you so they can do some work. They can't just eat and do nothing."

Old Xu found Xiaoqing extremely displeasing.

A grown man who looks weak and cries every now and then, yet he wants to eat and drink for free.

That won't do, absolutely not!

He's over seventy years old and still has to work. Why should this kid get a free meal?

The main problem was that there was too much pumpkin cake, and he didn't want to eat any more.

"His face..." Lin Shuyun was a little reluctant to bring him along, worried that his ugly appearance would scare away the guests.

In the blink of an eye, Xiaoqing appeared wearing a hat and a cloth covering her face, looking pitifully at Lin Shuyun, "Sister, I'll go with you while my face is covered."

Lin Shuyun: ...Okay.

Lin Shuyun found two clean, large baskets, lined the bottom with parchment paper, and placed neatly cut pastries on top.

I also found a few bamboo skewers, grabbed a plate, and then set off.

"There's nobody here so early in the morning."

Once on the street, it was rather deserted. Lin Shuyun, with her sharp eyes, spotted a building over there, with people going in and out.

"There are people over there, let's go over there."

"Sister!" Xiaoqing was about to stop her and suggest they go somewhere else when she had already run off.

Lin Shuyun led her people to a crowded place, found a clean spot to stand, and focused her energy in her dantian.

"We're selling pumpkin cake! It's so fluffy and soft! Try it first, then buy! Try it first, then buy!"

Lin Shuyun called out twice, and the passersby quickly moved to both sides.

"What's going on? Is some important person on the way?"

Lin Shuyun was wondering what was going on when she saw two groups of people approaching aggressively from the east and west sides.

The two women leading the group were dressed in flamboyant attire, followed by several scantily clad women and a ghost priest.

She also recognized the doorkeeper from the Inviting Moon Pavilion on the east side.

The woman on the west side was dressed similarly to the doorkeeper, but judging from the gold hairpin in her hair, she was clearly much wealthier.

The two groups met on a narrow path, neither of them backing down, their noses almost touching.

Even Lin Shuyun, a casual bystander, could see the flames burning fiercely in the eyes of the two.

The once empty road was quickly surrounded by people, who almost stepped on Lin Shuyun's feet.

"What's going on?" Lin Shuyun looked at her cloth shoes with heartache.

"You don't know? This is Mama Li from Chunfeng Tower and Mama Men from Yaoyue Tower. They've been at odds for many years. Whenever they meet, there's always a good show to watch!" A kind uncle next to Lin Shuyun explained.

Lin Shuyun's eyes lit up upon hearing this; she loved gossip.

The melons from brothels are the best!

All I could see was Mama Li from Chunfeng Tower, swaying her fat body and raising her arrogant chin.

"Hey, look at these people! I heard they didn't have any business last night. Are they here on the street soliciting customers first thing in the morning? It's hilarious!"

The old woman sneered, "Damn it, what bad luck! I ran into a dog the first thing this morning when I went out, and it even pooped all over the place!"

“You…” Li’s mother’s face contorted with anger, then she covered her face with her handkerchief and laughed.

"Don't get so angry, Mama. The girls in your building are no longer useful. I see you're still quite attractive. Why don't you take their place? You might even be able to get a few customers if you spread your legs!"

"This dog poop stinks! Whose mad dog is this? Why isn't it leashed first thing in the morning?!"

As she spoke, the old woman looked at the crowd and said, "Does everyone think this old fat dog is dirty? Doesn't it stink?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

Li's mother's chest heaved with anger. "Hmph, sharp-tongued! Let's go, let's see how long your Inviting Moon Pavilion can hold out. I'll make sure you close down next month! Then we'll see what you do!"

Then he led a group of people away in a triumphant and arrogant manner.

Seeing that the excitement was over, Lin Shuyun seized the opportunity to shout.

"We're selling pumpkin cakes! Soft and fluffy pumpkin cakes, buy three get one free!"

"Pumpkin cake? I've never had it before! Is it delicious?!"

"You can try it first and then buy it!"

Opportunity favors the prepared mind. Lin Shuyun's pumpkin cake, which offered tastings, immediately attracted a large crowd.

As she was about to leave, her mother's gaze was also drawn to her. "You look kind of familiar!"

Xiao Qing, who was collecting the money, froze.

The doorkeeper remembered and pointed at Lin Shuyun, saying, "Have you thought about the previous courtyard? If you miss this opportunity, you won't get another one."

"Your business is almost bankrupt, why are you still renting a yard?" Lin Shuyun asked curiously.

Just out of curiosity

Although Madam Men didn't lose, Lin Shuyun overheard the gossip and roughly understood that Yaoyue Tower had run out of new tricks and couldn't attract customers.

"Mind your own business, let's go."

The doorkeeper snorted and turned to leave.

The old man whispered, "Mother, should I teach this little wench a lesson?"

The doorkeeper lowered her voice, "Come on, there are so many people here. Go back and find a few people, find an excuse to make a scene at their doorstep, and they'll be sure to move out quickly."

"Get that stunning widow you mentioned into the building right now! I'll pay whatever it takes! She's infuriating me! I'm going to get my revenge!"
