Chapter 478 Just believe him!
Old Man Ye smiled and said, "My wife is pregnant and can't come to help, so we'll come and help for a few days! We can't let my son do it all by himself!"
"Just help for a few days? There are so few people here, can he handle it?"
"Of course we have to hire someone. We have our own business to make. We can't be busy here all the time! We still have our own lives to live!"
Ye's mother also smiled awkwardly, "This is my son and daughter-in-law's shop. It's not right for us to stay in the shop all the time! It's okay to help out occasionally!"
Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Yuzhu said, "This pearl rice looks pretty good. How much is one pound? I want to buy some!"
"This is a pound of top-quality pearl rice. How much do you want? I'll go weigh the rice for you!"
"Weigh ten kilograms for me first. I'll take it back and let the steward taste it. If it tastes good, we'll make the final decision! We have to let the steward take a look at the rice first!"
Old Man Ye smiled and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll weigh it for you right away!"
Old man Ye took the cloth bag, scooped several scoops with a wooden ladle, pressed the weight high on the beam balance, and then brought it over? "I'll give you enough for this rice, two hundred and fifty coins! Just give me two hundred and forty-five coins!"
Yuzhu gave him the copper coins she had counted, and then she picked up the cloth bag and walked out! As she left, she couldn't help but frown. These ten kilograms of rice were quite heavy. She should have bought less!
Yanyan watched Yuzhu walk into the carriage and put down the rice before she spoke, "Who is next to Ye Shusheng?"
"Reporting to the princess, the people next to you are Ye Shusheng's parents. They said that Ye Shusheng's rice shop is too busy to open, so they came here to help for a few days! They will be leaving in a few days!"
"I hope you can keep your word and not cause trouble for Shuhui. Shuhui is pregnant now and cannot bear the brunt of it! Otherwise, don't blame me for being too ruthless. Even if this Ye Shusheng was chosen by Shuhui herself, he cannot be bullied by her!" He turned to Liu Wu and said, "Let's go!"
The carriage at the corner then slowly moved forward. Ye Shusheng looked at the people walking away and finally felt relieved. "Shuhui is really capable to make the princess miss her! I don't know how the princess knew about the opening of such a small rice shop and came here specially! It seems that Shuhui still has some face in front of the princess!"
Old Man Ye asked in confusion, "You were so nervous just now, which mansion is she from? Wu, the manager of the wealthy families in Beijing, has seen many of them, but he didn't realize that she was from that mansion?"
"It's from the Prince Regent's Palace! He must have just passed by and came in to take a look!"
Old Man Ye was terrified. "Why would the palace buy from such a small shop? This is not right! Many grain merchants in the Regent Palace want to get in touch with them, but they can't. You have to be smart about this!"
"Don't worry, he was probably just passing by and came to take a look on a whim! Besides, aren't there a lot of rice shops in the princess's dowry shop? Why would he need to come out to buy rice!"
Old Man Ye was speechless for a moment before he nodded and slowly turned to the back to help!
Ye Shusheng looked at his rice shop and thought to himself, "The regent's door is so high that we can't even climb up to it. How can we really come here to buy rice? Are we just staring at me?!"
Tianxiang Pavilion West Garden Box
Yanyan looked at the scroll in her hand, which was filled with old scenes about heroes saving beauties. She flipped through the pages carelessly until she saw the last part where Li Mei killed her husband!
My fingers couldn't help but pause for a moment. "This Li Mei killing her husband? Who arranged this? It's really brave. Did anyone order this play?"
The waiter lowered his head and said, "I brought you the wrong one. This is the play our boss arranged. But the murder of a husband is too shocking. Some people who come to watch the play have been against it, so it has not been performed yet! I will go and change it for you right away! No one has ordered this play!"
Yanyan held the memorial in her hand, and her mood for watching the play disappeared all of a sudden. Thinking of the scene of Li Mei's tragic death, she said, "Tell your boss that there will be a chance to perform this play in the future!" She casually clicked on a happy ending and sent the waiter out!
My fingers brushed over the words "Li Mei killed her husband", and the image of Li Mei holding a kitchen knife and chasing the person in charge to chop him emerged in my mind! Thinking of this, my heart ached terribly. A good person was forced to kill her husband because of repeated failed divorces! In the end, she was pushed to the guillotine!
I cursed inwardly, "Why can't they agree to let her divorce? She indulges in all the five vices of eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and smoking, and yet they say she will repent and won't let her divorce. Why wouldn't they want to live that kind of life? They are just bullying her because she is a woman!"
Yuzhu also remembered Li Mei's pleading eyes, and she comforted her, "Princess, this is not your fault, you have done very well! If Li Mei had been patient, if she had met you, she would not have been executed!"
Yanyan sighed, "If only it had happened earlier, she wouldn't have been so desperate! But no~"
Yanyan sighed and looked at the flowers on the stage. She felt very uncomfortable. After watching the show, she turned around and left Xiyuan!
Looking at the memorial in his hand, he thought to himself, "One day, this play will be performed! This is not the way a woman should end up!"
Seeing that the princess was in a bad mood, Yuzhu carefully supported her and said, "Master, be careful with your step!"
Yanyan came back to her senses and put away the memorial in her hand. "Let's go back home!"
After Yanyan returned home, she sat at the table, looking at her delicate hands, thinking of her tragic death in her previous life and her helplessness after rebirth! The hatred in her heart became more and more obvious!
She thought to herself, "When the prince ascends the throne, the position of queen will be mine! By then, it will be easy to kill Fan Hua's consort and replace him with someone else! It's a pity that we have to wait for a few months!"
Looking at her belly which was not yet showing, Yanyan felt that time was passing so slowly! Finally, she sighed and said, "I have waited for so long, I don't mind waiting a few more months!"
He took out the opera script in his hand and carefully put it under the table, then shouted to the outside, "Yuzhu, bring me some food, I'm hungry again!"
"Slave, go now!"
Yanyan looked at Yuzhu's shadow as she left, and then she sat at the table! Thinking of the changes that would happen in a few months, she was still afraid! But when she thought of Zhou Yanze's cold eyebrows and the 300,000 troops in his hands, she felt more at ease!
He thought to himself, "I wonder if Dad understood the implication of my words last time. This battle for the throne is a life-and-death struggle. If the Regent loses, I'm afraid our family will not have a good ending!"
"All of this must be prepared in advance. The Third Prince and the Fifth Prince are both bad people. We can't let them climb up, otherwise I will have no way to survive!"
Yanyan tapped her fingers on the table, thinking about what she had mentioned to her father last time! She felt panic in her heart! Liu Wu outside ordered, "Go to the Duke's Mansion! Just tell him that I miss my father!"
