Lin Yi choked at the unexpected question and hesitated, not daring to answer.
"What, is there anything you can't tell me?" Chen Ruzhi was not aware of Bai Wanrou's abnormality, so he calmly shook his fan and spoke in a cold tone.
Seeing Lin Yi drooping his head, he naturally did not dare to put Chen Ruzhi's question aside, so he could only speak under tremendous pressure:
"The princess actually didn't say anything. She just said that she has made plans to divorce you."
The movements of Chen Ruzhi's hands froze because of these words. He looked at Lin Yi and seemed to be looking at others through him.
For some reason, when he heard this sentence, his heart was no longer overjoyed as before, but instead felt like an unpredictable emotion.
If I had to define it, it seems a bit like...lost?
Realizing that he actually had such feelings for Bai Wanrou, Chen Ruzhi's face darkened in an instant.
It's absolutely impossible. Even if she is very different from usual these days, she is not the person she likes.
Unless, she is the one who saved her?
Chen Ruzhi had no way to directly determine whether this matter was correct or not. At that time, he was in a state of confusion due to the love drug in his body, let alone seeing clearly who the person who saved him was.
Even breaking free is difficult.
The only way to confirm Bai Wanrou's identity is to wait for Lin Feng to recover his memory. After all, he was the only witness at the time.
Thinking of this, Chen Ruzhi found a good home for his strange feelings, and stopped being awkward and said calmly:
"Continue to find an imperial physician for Lin Feng, and be sure to remind him of what happened back then."
Lin Yiwen nodded, this matter has been in progress.
But now it seems that he feels that the outcome of finding the imperial doctor is not that important anymore.
I think the reason why the prince attaches so much importance to this matter is simply because he wants Bai Wanrou to naturally take the position of princess.
To put it bluntly, he still can't get over the hurdle in his heart and needs to find a way out.
Lin Yi shook his head subconsciously. As a master who was not good at words, he wondered if he would lose his sweetheart because of this.
"I've continued to observe the princess's movements these days. There's no need to take her too seriously, just pay attention from time to time."
"Yes, I'm resigning." Lin Yi bowed and exited the room, looking at the half-circle and half-gone bright moon in the sky, and sighed deeply.
In fact, before he knew it, the prince had already acquiesced in calling Bai Wanrou the princess by himself and others.
And the item he valued most - intimate clothing - was easily borrowed because of the princess' reputation.
Even though he is unwilling to admit that he is tempted, what should the prince of his family do?
Lin Yi was very worried about the future development of the two of them, especially after finding out today that the princess had thoughts of reconciliation. He even felt that he had already seen the pain of the prince crying in tears for the rest of his life.
The next day, Bai Wanrou rubbed her sleepy eyes. She had a very uneasy sleep last night. What frightened her the most was that she actually saw Chen Ruzhi in her sleep.
She just said she wanted to separate from him yesterday, and they reunited in her dream at night. This was not a good sign.
Bai Wanrou opened the door to the room, and the sunlight shone in through the window paper, forming light spots on the ground, "Lvzhu, Qingtang, don't sleep now, we have to talk about the sales agency later."
The weather during this period of time was cloudy and sunny, with the sun scorching hot at noon and the cool breeze blowing as night fell.
She was afraid that she would be unlucky and would have to go out in the bright sun, so she decided to finish the work in the morning.
At that time, Lu Zhu got up from the bed quickly. She had never been in the habit of staying in bed. Sometimes it was normal to get up earlier than Bai Wanrou.
Unfortunately, it is more difficult to deal with a little girl. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for Qingtang to really wake up without a stick of incense.
"Miss, why don't we go and settle things first and then come back to find Qingtang?" Luzhu said while looking at Qingtang who was hugging the quilt and refusing to let go, and then looking at the sun that was about to reach the sky outside the room, frowning and saying
arrive.
Unexpectedly, Bai Wanrou shook her head, "Qingtang is generous and outspoken, something neither of us have ever had. If there is any inappropriate discussion, it will be easier to resolve it if she is present."
What she said was reasonable, and Lu Zhu's original idea was not to leave Qingtang alone, so in the end they waited for Qingtang to wash up before leaving the house.
"Miss, do you already have a goal in mind? Which store should we go to discuss this matter?"
As soon as Qingtang walked to the market, he couldn't stop his eyes and looked around randomly. Fortunately, he still had sense and remembered the business.
The green bamboo beside her pulled her sleeves, indicating that they were already far behind Bai Wanrou.
"Let's go to Yuehua Building to try our luck first. If it doesn't work, we'll find another place."
Bai Wanrou mingled her hands together, telling the truth that this was her first time involved in business matters.
In the past, when she was in the Hou Mansion, if she caught her father discussing business, he would definitely ask her to leave quickly, saying that this was not something that a girl like her should know.
Even the elder brother had never seen his father discuss business several times, so even though the two brothers and sisters were from the Hou family, they had no experience in this matter.
If Chen Ruzhi's attitude toward Yue Yi hadn't prevented her from seeing any hope, Bai Wanrou felt that she wouldn't have made such a big determination.
Yuehua Tower is not far from the palace, and Bai Wanrou is always very fast. In just a short time, they arrived at the gate.
"Hey, sir, are you here to see the jewelry? Our Yuehualou store has a wide range of styles. Come in and take a look to ensure you are satisfied."
A waiter at the door of the store saw Bai Wanrou's clothes and knew at a glance that this person was expensive. In addition, she didn't like to wear gold and silver, so the waiter subconsciously thought that she was here to buy jewelry.
"Where is your shopkeeper? I want to see him. Can you help me lead the way?" Bai Wanrou glanced at the decoration of Yuehua Building. It was not much different from the last time she came here.
When the waiter heard this, he thought she had something to do with his shopkeeper, so he walked ahead and led her in.
"Sir, our store is right in front of us. If you need anything, just go to her directly."
Bai Wanrou nodded slightly, but she was a little confused. The person in front of her was a graceful woman, dressed in red, with jewelry hanging on her neck, wrists, and earlobes.
But... the last time I bumped into Lin Yueyi here, the shopkeeper was clearly a middle-aged man?
Bai Wanrou guessed that there must be some secrets that she didn't know about, and she was too embarrassed to ask any more questions, so she just let the green bamboo behind her hand over the jewelry that she had hurriedly made last night.
"Shopkeeper, I want to talk to you about selling on behalf of others. As for the items, I have asked the girl to present them to you."
This woman had not responded at all since they arrived, so Bai Wanrou had to take the initiative to speak and wait for her reply.
The person's finger joints were clear, her skin was fair, and her cardamom-colored nails were very beautiful, but her actions and words really didn't match this.
I saw the woman holding the chain in her hand, shaking it from side to side, making a light sneer, and swung it back casually, regardless of whether the green bamboo could catch it.
She turned her head, her appearance was not that of a beauty, but the various rouges and powders smeared on her face gave her a bit more charm.
Bai Wanrou watched helplessly as the man painted like a ghost slowly spoke, his tone full of ridicule and disdain:
"Oh, which distinguished guest did I think was here? It turns out to be Princess Jian'an, who can't even win a concubine."
"Our Yuehualou store has many big customers and no shortage of partners. Your inferior handmade gadgets have really lowered our quality."
After saying that, she twisted her slender waist and took a few steps forward, lifting Bai Wanrou's chin with her index finger, just like a ruffian teasing a decent woman.
"I suggest you go to some shops that don't have much business and see if they want this junk."
Lu Zhu had experienced this kind of humiliation many times when Bai Wanrou was not favored, and she was still able to accept it. Although she was angry, she did not step forward and say anything.
But she forgot that there was Qingtang beside her. She protected Bai Wanrou wholeheartedly, how could she allow outsiders to talk about her like this?
Even though Qingtang took a few steps forward, his expression was very rude and his tone was far from respectful, "Hey, who do you think you dare to talk to our princess like that?"
"Do you know that our prince has been very doting on you these past few days..."
Before she finished speaking, she was pulled back by Lu Zhu, "What are you doing? Don't act impulsively." Lu Zhu whispered in her ear through gritted teeth.
There was a big gap in strength between the two, and she was almost unable to hold Qingtang back. Fortunately, Bai Wanrou spoke at this moment:
"Okay, don't make trouble here. Since the store doesn't agree, let's move to another place."
The man probably assumed that Bai Wanrou's move was due to a guilty conscience. After hearing these words, he stared at his hand and sneered, short and mean, which made Qingtang furious and wanted to fight with her.
It wasn't until she walked out of Yuehua Tower that Qingtang let out a long sigh of relief as if some seal had been lifted, "Miss, why did you stop me just now? That person was so rude to you, we must teach her a lesson
That’s good!”
The more she spoke, the louder she became. There were already people coming and going at Yuehua Building, and her loud voice immediately attracted the attention of many customers.
Seeing this, Bai Wanrou had no choice but to pull the two of them to a slightly secluded place, "Both of you, please stop being angry about this matter."
Probably knowing that they would not understand why, she quickly added:
"Don't forget my original intention of opening the store. If I had taken advantage of the princess's privileges to do whatever I wanted from the beginning, how would I have the nerve to talk to Chen Ruzhi about reconciliation?"
Qingtang suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball. She had just been over-emotional and seemed to have lost her mind. She really didn't consider this aspect.
However, none of them knew that at the same time, Bai Wanrou had unintentionally taken advantage of the princess's power in the Yuehua Building.
"Mei, why are you treating Princess Jian'an like that?" The shopkeeper Bai Wanrou met last time came up from downstairs. The shop owner is his sister, and they have a good relationship.
The woman just rolled her eyes when she heard this, "Come on, who doesn't know that the prince doesn't care about her at all, so why should I give her a good look?"
Thinking of Bai Wanrou's intelligence when she came here last time, the shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. I think it is very likely that the princess will secure this position in the future." This chapter has been completed!
