Chapter 61: What Happened Back then

"Five thousand silver notes for ten thousand taels."

After listening to the Yunshang people, everyone present, Xie's family took a breath. They really didn't expect it to be so high.

"Young Master, you're afraid you're cheating people here."

Xie Ruowei's face was extremely bad and she spoke.

"I'm sorry? Miss Xie Er, you're probably slandering me. Ask Ah Ruan yourself if the expenses from childhood to adulthood are worth the amount. In other words, I've also reduced some of the expenses for you."

Ruan Li nodded. Indeed, since she was a child, she used the best food and clothing, and it was something that ordinary high-ranking clans could not use. In this way, it was indeed far more than this number.

However, the Xie family didn't think so. This was a total of 5,000 silver notes. In addition to Yuncheng, which was rich enough to rival the country, let alone them, even if the emperor wanted to allocate the money from the treasury, it would take a lot of effort.

"Aruan, let it go. Let the past things go. Those things cannot be measured by money. Let's look at the present."

"Old Mrs. Xie, do I have anything good to look at with you now? I will send someone to take the accommodation fee for staying at the Xie family these days. In the future, I will stay here for a while, and I will send someone to come here later."

She smiled faintly and blessed her slightly. This was her last etiquette for the Xie family.

"Old Mrs. Xie, I'll leave first and say goodbye."

After saying that, she turned around and left, not even a look of her eyes to the Xie family.

Seeing Ruan Li leaving, Yun Shang also turned around and left with Ruan Li.

When they were returning to Ruan Li's yard, they met Xie Ruoling who was walking towards him.

Xie Ruoling has been staying in his room these days, trying to avoid the limelight of Concubine Shu, so as not to find out what he had with Concubine Shu. So, he stayed in the room, and there was no outside news these days, and he had never seen Ruan Li again. After finally seeing him, he naturally had to go up and stop him.

Xie Ruoling walked to Ruan Li locally, shook his hand in front of Ruan Li and said, "Oh, Sister Ruan."

Yun Shang frowned, raised one foot, walked to Ruan Li, and crossed between Ruan Li and Xie Ruoling.

"Who are you?"

Xie Ruoling felt naturally full of dissatisfaction when he saw someone stopping him and Ruan Li.

"You can't become a person."

After hearing Yun Shang's words of some beating, Ruan Li smiled helplessly and shook her head. Her second brother is good at everything, but she is very narcissistic, and what she says always makes people feel that he deserves to beating.

Sure enough, when Xie Ruoling heard what Yun Shang said, he became angry and said, "You little brat, what are you talking nonsense!"

"What big talk? I have always only told the truth."

Xie Ruoling was so angry that she couldn't speak out, and said, "You! You are such a big tone."

"Xie Ruoling, the matter of Concubine Shu has not completely passed, you are in a good mood." Ruan Li took a step forward and said, "Also, Xie Ruoling, don't be so arrogant here. It's just the Left Prime Minister, the Xie family. Do you really think your family background is invincible?"

"Also, Xie Ruoling, this young master is indeed someone you can't become."

Ruan Li smiled. Although Yunshang often deserves a beating, he is right. He is indeed a person that many people want to become but cannot become. The world's richest businessman and the power of the business association, he even controls the economic lifeline of every city. The prosperity and decline of the urban economy are all related to him. This is a status and power that many people dare not imagine.

"Thank you, don't think you are a descendant of the Ruan family, so you can talk nonsense here. Let me tell you, in those years since this young master, you still don't know which country you are living a hard life and digging wild vegetables."

"Yes, A Ruan, the descendant of the Ruan family who grew up in the country, is better than you, a noble family who has been well-read in poetry and books since childhood."

Yun Shang walked to Ruan Li and said to Xie Ruoling opposite him.

"Okay, let's go."

Ruan Li didn't want to talk to Xie Ruoling too much, so she pulled Yunshang and planned to leave. Yunshang nodded, followed her and planned to leave.

Xie Ruoling looked at the two people who didn't take him seriously, and was very angry and cursed at the backs of Ruan Li and Yun Shang.

Looking at Yun Shang and Ruan Li's back as they were leaving, he suddenly remembered a figure in his memory.

That person was the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and the supply of grain and grass and salary of the army were all provided by him. Once the army was not enough food and grass. At that time, they didn't know that their general was Yun Yi, the fifth son of King Yun, so when the second son of King Yun came to the barracks, everyone was also very surprised. And that nobleman had hundreds of tons of grain and grass at one move, and instantly solved the urgent need in the barracks.

At that time, he was just an unknown soldier and had no qualifications to go to the tent in front to see these noble people. He could only secretly look at the back of the noble person from the tent behind when the noble person left, and it was just a back.

But when he looked at this noble man, why did he feel more and more like him?

It’s impossible, that noble man is the son of King Yun, how could he know a girl from the countryside?

He quickly denied the absurd idea in his mind, but he didn't know that the noble man in his eyes was asking the so-called girls from the countryside as he said.

"Xiao Qi, are you okay?"

Yun Shang pulled Ruan Li and turned left and right, his face full of worry.

Ruan Li was a little dizzy when Yun Shang turned around. She fixed her body and signaled her second brother to make him feel at ease, saying, "Oh, second brother, don't worry, I'm fine now, look, am I standing in front of you well?"

"That's good." Seeing that Ruan Li had nothing to do, Yun Shang breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his appearance of wanting to plot against others at all times. "You don't know, when your third brother and fourth brother wrote to me, you didn't know how anxious I was, so you quickly put down the account book in your hand and rushed to come. Fortunately, you are fine. If you have something to do, I will let the people in Yuncheng pay the price they deserve."

"Second brother, it's good that you are there."

Ruan Li smiled. At this time, she looked like an extremely happy child.

Suddenly, Yun Shang seemed to have thought of something and asked, "By the way, your fourth brother wrote me a letter to you about your fiancé?"

"The fourth brother is really, I'll tell you everything." Ruan Li pouted, and continued as if she was a little unhappy, "My fiancé Shen Sichen, Major General of the Shen family."

"Shen family? Which Shen family?"

Yunshang and the imperial merchants naturally did not know Shen Sichen's name. When she heard Shen Sichen's name, she naturally didn't know which Shen family she was talking about.

"The Shen family is the younger brother of the current Empress Shen Qingling, and the famous young general in Kyoto."

"Empress Shen Qingling."

Yunshang paused and silently recited the name.

Hearing Yun Shang's silent thoughts, Ruan Li keenly caught something, turned her head and asked him, "Second brother, do you know anything?"

When Yun Shang heard Ruan Li's words, he understood more than anything else. He knew that Ruan Li had probably already known her life experience.

But he still didn't admit it: "No."

"How could it be that there is no? Today, in front of the emperor, the eldest brother looks like he looks, others don't know, but I know that the eldest brother must know something. Whether it is the eldest brother or you, you are my closest relatives. Second brother, I have grown up and I have the right to know some things."

Hearing Ruan Li's words, Yun Shang's face was also rare and serious, and he said, "Xiao Qi, yes, we do know your life experience."

Listening to Yunshang's words, Ruan Li looked around. Although there was no one, she pulled Yunshang to her room just in case.

Looking at the not-so-simple room in front of him, Yun Shang frowned in disgust and said, "Xiao Qi, you have lived here for a while."

"yes."

"So bad?"

When Ruan Li heard Yun Shang's words, she smiled and shook her head, saying, "Brother, this place is not as good as Yuncheng, and it is even more impossible to compare with the Yunwang Mansion. It is good to have this look in Kyoto."

"So is Kyoto's economy so bad? Then I'll make Kyoto's economy depressed, so I can't be depressed."

Ruan Li looked at Yunshang, and the customer felt that this sentence was his style.

"It's too low-level." Yun Shang wrapped his arms around his chest, "It's time!"

Sure enough, this should be the style of her second brother.

"So, second brother, what do you know about my life experience?"

"We don't know much. We only know that after my aunt sent you over a year, the Ruan family was destroyed. It seems that I had known that this would happen, so I sent you here. Later, we found that every time my father mentioned Xuanyuan Chen, he praised him, but if he contacted the emperor with his aunt, he would sneer. We realized something, but we didn't want to continue to investigate and found nothing, but found your life experience."

"Do I have a sister?"

"Yes, we found out that Aunt Jiuge had given birth to two daughters, but it is said that one of them died not long after, and the other was raised by her." Yun Shang glanced at her.

When she heard this, she felt very sad.

"And the rumored child was you who was secretly sent to Yuncheng. Another child was raised by Aunt Jiuge. Until the Ruan family was destroyed, the child died in that disaster. After my father learned the news, he immediately sent someone to Kyoto and could not even find the dead child."

Hearing this, Ruan Li's eyes were dull. She suddenly felt that her mother had expected that the Ruan family would destroy the family, so she had sent her sister A Ruan out, but what she didn't understand was why she didn't let someone send A Ruan to Yuncheng, but to Lotus Village.

Now, she heard with her own ears that what happened and her true life experience, and she had not recovered for a long time.
