Wang Rong finally died here. Qian Jiujiu stood in the restaurant and looked out the window, as if he saw the original owner through the sky, and silently said in his heart: Xiao Jiujiu, your revenge has been avenged.
The Qian family mother and daughter who killed you didn't have a good ending, so I have done my best for you. From now on, this body will be completely mine, and I will find your mother and be filial to her.
I don’t know if it was my illusion, but after Qian Jiujiu finished reciting in her heart, she found that her mood suddenly became clear. It felt so good to be free of debt.
Turning to look at Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, I'm in a good mood today, let's go home."
Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Slow down, watch out for your stomach."
The two had just returned to the palace when a eunuch suddenly came and said, "Your servant greets His Majesty. The Emperor urgently wants you to enter the palace."
Urgent call? This made Qian Jiujiu stunned for a moment. Usually, urgent calls meant something big had happened. Qian Jiujiu did not stop him and looked at Mu Yexiao: "Father is looking for you, so go quickly."
Mu Yexiao hummed: "Have a good rest, I will be back as soon as possible."
After saying that, Mu Yexiao took Dongchen into the palace. Qian Jiujiu returned home alone. She always felt that Mu Yexiao's entry into the palace was not a good thing this time, but she could do nothing.
Hong Ling watched Qian Jiujiu walking around, and couldn't help but shout out worriedly: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at Hong Ling: "It's okay, I'm just taking a walk, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Hong Ling coughed twice and said, "Yue Niang will be here soon. Today is the day she regularly reports to you. Miss Xiao Man and Mr. Chen will also be here."
"Also, Hongyue in the backyard has recovered, and she and Mr. Chen Da should be married."
Qian Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed. It turned out that there were still so many things to do. He laughed and said, "Then you should prepare the tea and snacks. I guess Yue Niang should be here soon."
Hongling was relieved when she saw Qian Jiujiu finally stopped walking around with a worried look on her face. She was just worried about this, the princess walking around with a big belly.
I'm not serious about it. What if something like this happens? That's why I reminded Qian Jiujiu that there are still many things to do today. Sure enough, when Hongling brought out the tea.
Yue Niang arrived, came to Qian Jiujiu, and bowed first: "Yue Niang greets the princess."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Yue Niang with a smile: "Hurry up and get up. You are now the most capable and number one shopkeeper under my command! I cannot neglect you."
"This is a snack made by Hongling herself. It tastes very good."
Yue Niang looked at Hong Ling with a smile: "Sister Hong Ling is really capable, she is an all-rounder. Master Dong Chen is a blessed man."
Qian Jiujiu narrowed her eyes and listened to Yue Niang teasing Hong Ling. She couldn't help but tutted her tongue twice: "This princess feels a little jealous when she hears this. Yue Niang, are you interested in someone too?"
"Speak out boldly, and I will make the decision for you."
Yue Niang was startled by Qian Jiujiu's words, and her face suddenly turned red: "Princess, you can't tease me. I have never thought about getting married."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Yue Niang with some doubt: "Why don't any of you want to get married?"
Yue Niang's face turned pale for a moment. Hong Ling glanced at Qian Jiujiu. Qian Jiujiu accepted it and stopped talking about it. "Well, since you don't have that intention, this princess won't force you."
"Look at you, your face is red and white. Okay, tell me about the situation in the shop."
Yue Niang's expression was a little better now: "Princess, this is the account book of the shop. The income this month is also very good, adding up to 300,000 taels."
Three hundred thousand taels for two shops, this result is not bad, and he nodded immediately. The masks are sold to people from aristocratic families, and some of them can cost tens of thousands of taels at a time.
As for those who come to the health care center for treatment, they are all the wives of high-ranking officials, so the fees are naturally not low. Qian Jiujiu looked at the stack of banknotes in front of him and clicked his tongue twice.
With a monthly income, it seems that she is almost as much as the national treasury, so she asked Hongling to put the banknotes into her small treasury. Of course, outsiders only know that she is rich, but they don’t know how rich she is.
Qian Jiujiu heard the voice outside again. It turned out that Xiaoman and Chen Da came. Xiaoman's voice was clear and had a hint of childishness. It was quite nice to hear.
"Sister, I'm here. You don't know that the manor is now one-third built. It will be completed in a few months."
Qian Jiujiu was in a good mood when she saw Xiaoman appear, and Xiaoman came directly to sit next to Qian Jiujiu: "By the way, sister, I heard that Madam Qian was beheaded."
"I'm going to hire someone to kill you. Are you okay? If I had known, I would have stayed with you. Anyway, those architectural masters are really amazing. They have already mastered my design."
"It doesn't matter whether I stay on the construction site or not. I might as well stay by your side. What do you say?"
Qian Jiujiu agreed with Xiaoman's desire to stay. After all, there were men running around on the construction site, and if she hadn't liked Xiaoman at first, she would have liked him.
Qian Jiujiu didn't want her to go either: "Okay, then you stay in the palace. By the way, you and your father came at the right time. Hongyue's injury has healed. When can you get married with Hongyue?"
The latter sentence was said to Chen Da. Chen Da was a grown man, and when he heard about the marriage, his face turned red. He looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Let the princess decide."
Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes: "Are you serious? If that's the case, then I will really make the decision. Hongling, go ask someone to calculate the lucky days in the near future."
"Then choose a day and let Uncle Chen and Hongyue get married."
Chen Da also glanced at Hong Ling and said, "Sorry to bother you, Miss Hong Ling."
Hong Ling glanced at Chen Da with a half-smile: "Mr. Chen, that's not the case. It's my honor!"
Yue Niang saw that her affairs were almost done and did not want to continue listening to what was said here. Although she also envied Hong Yue for being about to get married, she did not have the courage to do so.
"Princess, everything is almost done. I will go back now."
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Then be careful on the road."
Seeing Yue Niang leave, Chen Da also stood up and said, "Princess, I'll leave Xiao Man here in your care. I'll go back first. The date has been set. Please send someone to notify me."
Qian Jiujiu nodded, and Chen Da turned around and left. Seeing that there were no outsiders in the yard, Qian Jiujiu looked at Hongling and said, "Hongling, what's going on with Yue Niang?"
Hong Ling sighed, "Princess, please don't arrange any marriage for Yue Niang in the future. Yue Niang would be very resistant to it because her father favors his concubine over his wife."
"And Yue Niang's mother is that wife. Although Yue Niang is a legitimate daughter, she has suffered a lot since she was a child. Later, she was even sold out by that concubine."
"That's why she sold herself to the palace. You may not know that Yue Niang's sister was also sold to her brother-in-law. But Yue Niang's sister was lucky. She met Yu Guang, so her life was better."
Qian Jiujiu's mouth opened a little wider: "Then Yue Niang's father let people sell them sisters?"
Hong Ling nodded: "Yes, and that concubine also killed Yue Niang's mother. Later, when Yue Niang asked the prince to take revenge, she found out that Yue Niang's father was an accomplice in all this."
"Her father always beat Yue Niang when she was a child, so Yue Niang doesn't want to marry any man now."
Qian Jiujiu’s eyes widened immediately. She had never known such a thing before. And looking at Yue Niang’s expression, she had not expected it at all.
It turns out that Yue Niang has this kind of background. Qian Jiujiu blinked again and looked at Hong Ling: "So, were you guys doing well in the past?"
Hong Ling immediately understood that this was a question for the secret guards. Hong Ling smiled and said, "We are fine. Most of us are orphans, and the few who are few come from poor families."
"It is our blessing to meet the prince and princess."
Xiaoman and Qian Jiujiu were stunned for a moment, and Xiaoman suddenly smiled: "I agree with what you said. If it weren't for the princess, I would have been dead, burned to death by those fools."
Qian Jiujiu felt helpless and relieved when she heard Xiaoman say this. There was no hatred in it, which made Qian Jiujiu let it go. It seemed that Xiaoman really didn't hold it in her heart.
Looking at Xiaoman, he smiled and said, "Xiaoman, what do you want to eat today? I'll have someone prepare it."
Xiaoman giggled and said, "Speaking of food, sister, I brought you some delicious food. I promise you will like it."
Xiaoman actually discovered some time ago that her sister, the princess, liked spicy food. Unfortunately, there were no chili peppers in this dynasty. Fortunately, she discovered it.
In fact, the main purpose of her coming here today was this thing. After saying that, Xiaoman stood up, ran outside in one go, and soon came back with a basket.
"I brought yellow eel and this. I thought my sister would like it."
Qian Jiujiu looked down and saw that the basket was actually full of chili peppers. Qian Jiujiu was stunned and looked at Xiaoman: "Did you find this in the mountains?"
Xiaoman glanced at it with a guilty conscience, then nodded: "Yes, there are still many on the mountain! This is something new. If you like it, I will make it for you later."
Qian Jiujiu raised an eyebrow: "I didn't expect that Xiaoman you can cook."
Xiaoman laughed and said, "Of course I am a real foodie."
Hearing this, Qian Jiujiu's thoughts drifted away for a moment, and he smiled bitterly: "A person I knew before also liked to say this, and he claimed to be a foodie every day."
Xiaoman's eyes flickered, and then he laughed dryly a few times: "Really? That's great, maybe we were friends before!"
