Compared with those powerful people who have accumulated wealth and riches, the Duke's Mansion really pales into insignificance.
So! She has also thought clearly these days. She wants to do business and make money.
The one hundred thousand taels she received as compensation from King Zhao was her capital for doing business.
Although she was a military doctor in her previous life, she was also a standard foodie.
Originally, she should have picked up her old business and opened a medical clinic or something like that, but she thought about whether the things in her ancient ring would one day be exhausted, and what she would do if there was no follow-up supply.
It would be better to open a restaurant and practice medicine privately.
In this way, you can earn money and practice medicine without delay.
The Duke's wife did not expect that she was discussing this matter, and was a little surprised.
"Why do you want to open a restaurant? You are a young lady from the Duke's mansion, so you will not be short on food and clothing."
"I know, I just want to find something to do for myself."
She couldn't tell her that although the Duke's government was not so poor that it couldn't afford to support her, it still relied on her parents' family for financial support, and there were times when it was all in vain.
What's more, there are two brothers in the house who are not married, and she is a divorced sister-in-law.
She wants power but not power, status but not position, money but not money, but she is living in her parents' house and waiting to die. It is estimated that her future sister-in-law will hate her to death, and she will have to find a way to start her own business on her own.
Luo Jiuli's face was deliberately forlorn, which frightened the Duke's wife, fearing that she would be thinking of those unpleasant past events.
"Okay, you can do whatever you want, as long as you are happy."
"Thank you, mother."
The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became much more relaxed.
Luo Jiuli left the mansion, but before he arrived at the Jade Pavilion, the news was sent to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
"Master, Miss Luo Er and Mrs. Guo Gongfu went to Jade Pavilion."
At this time, Xiao Mingxuan had returned from the palace and was writing something in the study.
After hearing Qin Yin's report, he put down his brush.
"Qin Wu is back?"
He ordered Qin Wu to protect Luo Jiuli outside the Yiguo Duke's mansion last night.
"Qin Wu followed, but?"
Qin Yin paused.
"But what?"
Xiao Mingxuan's voice was cold and hard.
"Hu Hanyu, the second lady of Da Sima Mansion, and Princess Xiyun of Prince An Mansion also went to Jade Pavilion."
"Hu Hanyu has always been at odds with Miss Luo Er, and Prince An's Mansion——"
As soon as Xiao Mingxuan heard about Princess Xiyun, his thin lips tightened, his black eyes looked as gloomy as a cold wind, he dropped his brush and left the study.
Qin Yin touched his nose and followed him out of the house in a hurry.
In the Jade Pavilion, the steward saw that the Duke's wife and the second young lady were coming, and rushed to greet them.
The recent second lady of Yiguo Duke's palace, the former Princess Zhao, is famous throughout the capital.
Not only was he able to escape unscathed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and successfully reconcile, he even had King Zhao pay one hundred thousand taels of silver.
One hundred thousand taels makes me jealous just thinking about it.
At this time, shop assistants also brought up all kinds of gold, silver and jade, sampled gold and silver bracelets, objects with small rings engraved with dragons and phoenixes and hanging bells, and gold locks with the words "longevity and wealth" engraved on them.
Luo Jiuli accompanied her mother to choose carefully, even asking about the grams of gold.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any hairpins? Take them out too."
The Duke's wife asked.
"Okay, ma'am, wait a minute."
The shopkeeper went to get it in person, and naturally knew that this hairpin should be chosen by the second lady.
As soon as the shopkeeper here brought up the hairpin, there was a sneer at the door.
"Hey, let me tell you which girl looks familiar. Isn't this our Princess Zhao?"
"No, she shouldn't be called Princess Zhao. She should be called Miss Luo Er. She has already reconciled with her brother, Prince Zhao."
"Hanyu is right, my name is Miss Luo Er. We have only been divorced for a long time, and now she has become a monster. What kind of bun is she wearing? She still treats herself like Yunying's unmarried little girl. Is this
How many does it mean?"
Luo Jiuli was carefully choosing when the sound of pointing fingers and scolding Huai came into his ears.
Looking up, she saw Hu Hanyu, wearing a delicate pomegranate-gold piping dress. Her noble look could not hide the hatred in her eyes that wanted to burn her away.
The other one was dressed a little more interestingly. She wore a simple plain white long brocade dress, with several blooming plum blossoms embroidered with pink silk thread. A wide purple belt tightened her slim waist, showing off her slim figure.
, but it gives people the temperament of a white lotus everywhere.
Luo Jiuli thought for a while, she didn't seem to know this woman very well, how could she be so hostile to her?
It was the shopkeeper who hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
"I would like to send my regards to Princess Xiyun."
Princess Xiyun, the only king with a different surname in the Changning Dynasty, is the second daughter of Prince An Lu Yanzhi.
The Duke's wife did not move. Behind them, Nanny Xu and Chun Rong couldn't bear the humiliation of their young ladies, so they stepped forward to argue. However, the Duke's wife held them back and looked at the two women with squinted eyes.
"Let Jiu'er solve it by himself."
As the princess' wife, she couldn't argue with her juniors, but she couldn't always protect her daughter behind her.
Luo Jiuli gave a sneer, Princess Xiyun, I heard that she and Hu Bingyu were sisters who were acquaintances. When the original owner was still alive, she and the Hu sisters bullied the original owner.
Today, we are really enemies, so she will have revenge, and she will repay injustice for injustice.
"Does it matter how long it takes to be divorced? It's better than never getting married and having no one want you."
"The second young lady of the Hu family is already fifteen, and I heard that they have been eyeing each other for three generations. Haven't you found the right one yet? Or maybe the young master doesn't like the second young lady at all."
"Is this the princess? You are a woman who has not yet left the imperial court. She spends her days raising a family here and there. Outsiders just think you are a country woman. There is no trace of you as a princess in the capital city."
Luo Jiuli was also very sharp-tongued, and with his angry words, not only the two arrogant women opposite him were stunned, but also the Duke's wife and the Nine Kings Xiao Mingxuan, who had just arrived outside and were still in the carriage, were stunned for a moment.
.
"you--"
Hu Hanyu was furious.
Princess Xiyun was also stunned. In the past, when she ridiculed and ridiculed Luo Jiuli, she followed her like a quail and didn't dare to say anything. She didn't expect that this person would dare to talk back to her today.
It seems that Bingyu is right, Luo Jiuli really seems to be a changed person.
Hu Hanyu raised his finger, pointed at Luo Jiuli's nose and cursed:
"Luo Jiuli! I didn't see you so sharp and mean last time in the palace. No wonder the child died!"
One sentence completely touched Luo Jiuli's nerves.
Snapped!
Luo Jiuli slapped Hu Hanyu on the face.
The sound shook the room and you could hear a pin drop instantly.
"Hu Hanyu, you can scold me, but children are my bottom line. You will also get pregnant in the future, so you can gain some virtue for your future children."
As he spoke, he looked at Princess Xiyun with a gloomy face and sharp eyes.
"Also, in the past, you bullied me, ridiculed me, pushed me into the water, poured sand into my cup, and put snakes on the road to scare me. Do you think I have forgotten everything?"
