The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.

"Qingqing, Mother said, don't keep using those kinds of words."

Yun Yuke shook her head helplessly upon hearing the child's words.

“Of course I know, Mother,” Yun Qingjin stuck out her tongue, “but there are no outsiders here.”

“I think what the young girl said, though rough, makes sense,” Xing Xiaoyu commented. “There are plenty of these stubborn old men in the capital, but not many in Changgan City.”

"Would you like to know some details, to learn a little about these families' situations?"

Yun Qingjin first looked at Yun Yuke, and only after seeing her mother nod did she speak formally.

These things actually stemmed from Yun Qingjin's usual interactions with these families.

Yunji has always been a women-centric organization with men playing a supporting role. The reason is simple: Yun Yuke originally wanted to give many women the opportunity to earn their own money.

For example, Aunt Hua's husband was originally a merchant who went out to do business many years ago and never returned. Someone brought back news that their caravan had been robbed and that they probably couldn't have survived.

At that time, Aunt Hua was struggling to raise two children, so she supported them by cooking. Yun Yuke recognized Aunt Hua's culinary skills and decided to take over her future livelihood.

The same applies to other craftsmen.

Therefore, when the Yun family first came to Changgan City to do business, they naturally experienced a wave of "discrimination," the most obvious of which came from those few "old-fashioned" families.

If it weren't for Yunji's high-quality materials, reasonable prices, and widespread popularity, these old fogies would never have allowed women to come to their door to sell their goods.

Of course, this is also the result of the hard work of everyone in Yunji. For example, Yun Yuke took the initiative to build good relationships with these people in the city and help them. Yun Qingjin, despite her young age, went door-to-door and was very sweet-talking, so basically no one disliked them.

“Teacher Zhu, we’ve been in this city for over a year now. You have no idea how annoying these people are! Now, most people in the city have accepted the situation at Yunji, but those few stubborn old men are just going through the motions on the surface. Who knows what they’re saying about us behind our backs? It’s just that the official’s family in Beijing is a bit stricter and more disciplined. In other families, we always have to be careful that the servants don’t lay a hand on us.”

"Then why are you still selling goods at their homes?" Zhu Ling recalled that his apprentice had mentioned that he was now also in charge of the business.

"Don't worry, teacher. I usually go during the day, and their wives and the women in charge will meet me at the second gate."

Yun Qingjin smiled slyly and winked, "Besides, once when they looked down on us and tried to harm us, I tricked their servants into an alley, put sacks over their heads, and gave them a good beating."

"Huh?" The three people inside the room exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Seeing Yun Yuke's reaction, Yun Qingjin realized that she hadn't actually told Yun Yuke about this yet, so she shrank back, waiting to be scolded.

Yun Yuke almost couldn't hold back her whisper, and after a long struggle, she managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth:

"When did this happen? Did those guys hurt you? Whose servants dared to do that? Tell your mother, I'm going to their house to make a scene."

"Mother, don't be angry... Look, I'm fine. Those servants don't know it was me. Mother, don't worry, I'm very decisive."

Yun Yuke suppressed her impulse, "Let's put it aside for now and talk about it when we get home."

Seeing the mother and daughter, Zhu and Xing quickly intervened, saying, "Sister Yun, Sister Yun, please calm down. I already know what you said softly."

"This little girl is really good. She has courage and boldness. I can also tell that her martial arts skills are quite good today. Very good. As long as this child stays calm, I believe she will be fine." After a brief meeting today, Xing Xiaoyu still highly approves of the child in front of her.

"In short, Qingqing and I came to see you because we want to say that things are not peaceful in Changgan City. If you don't have any evidence, we suggest you hold back for now. If that special team is one of your people, you must be careful to keep it under control and do not make any moves."

Although Yun Yuke was still angry, she was still thinking about important matters.

"By the way, Yuan Chen asked me to tell you that she is very grateful that you didn't leave Yunji today. She knows that you don't want outsiders to know that you know people from Yunji."

Zhu Ling nodded, "At the time, I was thinking that these people dared to accept bribes directly. If I walked out of your shop, who knows what they would do to you. Xiaoyu led me, and we climbed out from your backyard."

"Thank you. However, this might not be very convenient for you to come over in the future. But don't worry, I'll probably find a way to officially appear in front of you in the next day or two, so that when you come to see me, you'll have a more reasonable excuse."

The Yun mother and daughter came here today to warn their friend to be careful, since the new prefect will be meeting with the magistrates of the surrounding counties and cities, as well as officials at all levels, the next day. If they act without understanding the situation, Zhu Ling and his group will definitely suffer.

"Ling, I'm glad to see you again, but you must be careful not to make a move lightly."

Before leaving, Yun Yuke added two more sentences, "You should know that several officials of different ranks have died in Changgan City. The cause of death is said to be sudden illness. This is stated in the official documents issued by the government office. I believe that the court should have received the same reason."

After completing their task for the day, the mother and daughter made sure that no one was watching them before returning along the same route.

Along the way, Yun Yuke seemed to be testing Yun Qingjin intentionally. She took a step forward and ran ahead, keeping a distance of about two steps from Yun Qingjin, but not letting Yun Qingjin catch up with her.

"mother……"

“We’ll talk about it when we get home. Also, keep your distance from me no more than ten steps. If you do, your bonus for this month will be halved.”

Upon hearing her mother's words, Yun Qingjin knew that her mother was still angry with her. After all, her previous punishments were either to weave cloth alone or to tidy up all the flowers, plants, and trees in the three shops.

If the punishment involves profit sharing, it means that the mother is really angry. After all, the previous labor could create value, but now the income is directly taken away. This punishment truly represents the mother's anger.

Yun Qingjin dared not underestimate it, so she mustered her spirits, focused her mind, and ran forward.

In the end, the mother and daughter returned home one after the other.

"Mom, phew...look, I'm almost home right behind you, you can't deduct my share of the profits."

Yun Qingjin was eventually out of breath after running, but she did manage to maintain the distance between herself and Yun Yuke.

"I can leave your share of the profits as is, but which servant offended you? Tell me the truth. Was it that Feng family? That old man, he keeps a whole bunch of concubines, and even in his seventies or eighties he's still not behaving properly. And his servants aren't any better."
