After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure Novel - Chapter 490
490 There’s going to be a show
Liang Mingmin was assisted back to the courtyard by the maidservants.
Ruan Songling was enjoying the shade under a big tree in the courtyard. She was shocked when she saw her daughter’s red and swollen face as her maidservants assisted her.
“Min’er, what’s wrong with you?” she asked, her heart aching.
Liang Mingmin wanted to say something, but the moment she opened her mouth, it hurt. She cursed Zhuo Zheng in her heart.
!!
She could only give the maidservant who was supporting her a look, letting her explain on behalf of her.
Seeing this, the maidservant immediately recounted what had happened, her tone full of anger and eye-piercing.
They resented Shi Qingluo in their hearts.
If it weren’t for her, they wouldn’t have been beaten by the ordinary princess.
If the princess consort knew about this, who knew how she would punish them?
These people used to be by Liang Mingmin’s side, and their style of doing things was also as arrogant and unbridled as their master.
They loved to vent their anger on others and shirk responsibility.
After hearing this, Ruan Songling’s face turned livid.
She was clearly furious. “Impudent, this is too impudent!”
She was just a village woman, yet she dared to let someone beat her daughter.
Zhuo Zheng wasn’t a good person either, he humiliated her.
She really wanted to bring some people with her to teach Shi Qingluo a lesson, but there were not many people in the courtyard that she could bring along.
A few days ago, Liang Mingyu found an excuse to move out of the cement workshop.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone bully you like this.”
She ordered someone to apply medicine on her daughter’s wound. “When your father comes, I’ll bring you to that place to regain your dignity.”
She also knew that Prince Jin was coming.
She knew that he must have come for her, so she felt a little safer.
Although the person she liked in her heart was Prince Yi, it was undeniable that she relied on Prince Jin the most.
Liang Mingmin nodded with red eyes. She only hoped that her father would come soon.
On the other side of the county government.
After Shi Qingluo had sent off a few waves of guests congratulating her, she returned to her room with Xiao Hanzheng alone.
Everyone knew that the two of them had not seen each other for a long time and wanted to talk, so they tactfully did not follow.
Back in her room, Shi Qingluo changed out of her heavy palace dress into a nightgown and took a shower before coming out.
Then she fell into Xiao Hanzheng’s gentle arms.
After the two of them were done being intimate, they took a shower together.
After that, Shi Qingluo lay lazily on the bed, enjoying the service of her young husband drying her hair.
“A lot of things happened after I left.
“I heard that your mother saved Prince Yi from an assassination attempt?”
Xiao Hanzheng dried her hair and said, “Yes, that’s why Prince Yi has been staying here.”
Shi Qingluo was taken aback. She turned around and looked at him in confusion. “Why? ”
“He pledged his life to the person who saved him,” Xiao Hanzheng replied honestly.
Shi Qingluo’s eyes widened. “He’s taken a fancy to your mother? ”
Xiao Hanzheng nodded helplessly. “Yes!”
Shi Qingluo’s surprise turned into a smile. “Prince Yi have a good taste. Not bad.”
Xiao Hanzheng remained silent.
As expected, his little wife’s brain was wired differently.
Other people would only think that her mother was not worthy of Prince Yi, but his little wife thought that Prince Yi liked her mother because he had good taste.
Of course, he had the same thoughts as his wife.
“How is your mother reacting to it?” Shi Qingluo asked.
“Mother doesn’t seem to want to be Prince Yi’s princess now, but I feel that she has a different attitude towards Prince Yi,” Xiao Hanzheng replied.
Shi Qingluo nodded. “Then we won’t interfere. Let’s see if they’re fated to be together.”
She was still very supportive of her mother-in-law’s decision to find a husband for the second time, but she would not suggest or intervene in the name of “for her own good”.
Only the two of them knew the ups and downs of a relationship.
“I think so too,” Xiao Hanzheng agreed.
If his mother wanted to marry Prince Yi, they would support her.
If she didn’t want to marry Prince Yi, he would also protect her from being forced by Prince Yi.
Xiao Hanzheng then told Shi Qingluo about what had happened after she left, including Zhuo Zheng and Liang Mingmin.
Shi Qingluo finally understood. “So that’s what happened. No wonder Zhuo Zheng hated Liang Mingmin so much and even personally took action.”
Otherwise, with Zhuo Zheng’s cautious style, he wouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess.
She curled her lips. “Prince Jin should hurry up. I really want to see what he’ll do when he finds out that his illegitimate son has slapped his legitimate daughter in public.
“Then, he’ll continue to investigate and find out that his legitimate daughter had taken a fancy to his illegitimate son.
She touched her chin and said, “I’ll help them when the time comes.
“There’s going to be a show.”
Xiao Hanzheng knew that his wife liked to watch a show.
He chuckled and said, “It’ll definitely be lively when Prince Jin comes.”
She didn’t know what Prince Jin would do with his most beloved princess consort and legitimate daughter being bullied.
He also knew the contents of the emperor’s imperial edict.
She wondered if Prince Jin would vent his anger on his wife.
However, it didn’t matter if he was angry.
As long as Prince Jin still needed them, he wouldn’t do anything.
They had the emperor’s support.
Next, Shi Qingluo became busy again.
She brought her people to many villages to see which villages were suitable for planting corn and potatoes.
A few days later, they even received canned lychees and other fruits from the South.
Although the taste was not as good as the modern ones, she still felt very happy to be able to eat this in ancient times.
This time, Liang Youxiao had brought a few truckloads of canned fruit.
Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and decided to help him promote.
More and more Persian and Arab merchants had come to the county to sell canned food and soap.
There were many deserts in the Western Region, and water resources were not very abundant, so canned fruit was definitely popular.
Hence, Shi Qingluo ordered her people to pull a cart full of canned fruit to the entrance of the county office.
They set up a shed and took out the canned food for the locals and businessmen to taste for free.
They said it was a welfare for the people from the county government.
Let everyone have a taste of the fruits that can’t be found in the South.
Of course, the quantity was limited.
There were only 100 bowls a day, some served cold and some served at room temperature.
However, those who had received the canned food could not line up to eat it a second time.
After all, the amount of canned food was limited.
A truckload of fruit cans could last for about ten days, and those who had not tasted it at the start could also have a chance to taste.
When the commoners and merchants tasted the iced canned lychees and other food, they were all shocked.
There was such a delicious can of fruit.
Everyone loved it, especially when they saw the white jade-like fruits in the bowl.
They would probably never be able to step out of the northern border to the South in their lifetime.
They did not expect to be able to eat these fruits from the South in their lifetime.
All of them were extremely grateful to Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng.
It was also because everyone was talking about how delicious the canned fruit was that many people came to line up every morning.
When the number of people reached 100, the people behind could only stop in line regretfully, thinking of coming earlier the next day.
They didn’t leave either.
They just stood there, watching and chatting with their acquaintances, and smelling the sweet smell of the can.
The first thing Prince Jin saw when he arrived at the county town was a group of big geese that seemed to be patrolling the streets.
They were walking valiantly and spiritedly.
The leader was a big, imposing black goose with a small gold medal hanging around its neck.
It was obvious that this was Shi Qingluo’s goose king, Dumby.
It could be seen that the locals liked Dumby.
Along the way, people fed it with cleaned and washed fresh vegetables and fruits, and their eyes were full of love.
Prince Jin realized that even though the county was in ruins, it was very popular and bustling with activity.
Most importantly, it was very clean and tidy.
There were even people wearing the same uniform, holding brooms and quickly sweeping up any dirty spots.
There were also people carrying buckets to spray water to prevent dust.
It would also make people walking on the road feel cooler.
Near the county government office, Prince Jin saw a long line of people standing in front of the carriage’s window.
This was something he had never seen before, and he didn’t expect Heyang County to be like this.
