She got angry whenever she mentioned people related to Sanfang.
"Will this... have a big impact?" Wei Mingyong couldn't help but ask.
“I’m even nervous about my expenses this year and next year, what do you think?”
"Is it so serious? What should I do? I was also thinking of asking you to use some money to do good deeds with Princess Rui to save our reputation! You don't know, now the people in the city and outside the city are very interested in it. Princess Rui is so praised!" Wei Mingyong said.
“That’s Wei Qingruo! She’s the most vindictive person! What happened last time was like this, will she still pay attention to me?”
"We are all one family, aren't we? The bones were broken and the tendons were connected! Anyway, that incident didn't cause any harm to her. Wasn't Prince Yu's concubine the unlucky one in the end?"
“Heh, tell Wei Qingruo about this. What’s the use of telling me? Can she listen to us?”
“Hey, if I had known she was such a powerful person, I really shouldn’t have turned against her in the first place!” Wei Mingyong couldn’t help but began to regret it.
When he first met Wei Qingruo, he was somewhat prejudiced against her, thinking that a girl who had been raised in the countryside for so many years must be vulgar and short-sighted.
But who would have thought that this girl has more than a little bit of ability? She surprises people one after another and becomes a man of the hour in the capital.
“You know it too! If you had been better with Wei Qingruo earlier, it wouldn’t have worked for me for a long time with my warm face and cold buttocks pressed against me! Now it’s better, all the water in the bamboo basket is in vain!”
"You are still talking about me. You have done far more than me. The most I can say is a few words in person. You directly drugged her and made it known to everyone. It caused us to break up with the third room and even caused me to be embarrassed. After losing his official position, he was completely reduced to a laughing stock!”
"Don't rely entirely on me. I asked you before doing this, and you praised me for the good idea!"
"How did I know that you could be so brainless and expose yourself? I thought that no matter whether you succeeded or not, you would be able to escape unscathed." Wei Mingyong explained.
"What about you? What have you done? You tried so hard to please Qi Yansong, but Qi Yansong will be dead in a few days!"
Ms. Bai was very upset. She had spent so much effort to please Wei Qingwan, and even thought of harmful tricks just to please Wei Qingwan.
The result is good, Wei Qingwan's end was useless, but now that I think about it carefully, it is more useful to have a good relationship with Wei Qingruo.
Even though Prince Rui has no hope of ascending to the throne in the future, Princess Rui's life is better than that of Prince Yu's concubine who has been left out or even worse!
Wei Mingyong and Mr. Bai had been arguing for a long time but still could not come up with a solution.
In the end, they could only watch as Sanfang prospered, but they couldn't get anything out of it.

Anxin Pavilion.
Yunshi leaned on the couch, Cuiping massaged her head behind her.
The income of her shop and Zhuangzi this year is also not good, but fortunately, her husband and son have good salaries and rewards, so she does not have to worry about the things on the books.
The only thing that made her feel sad was that yesterday she ordered someone to send a message to Prince Rui's Mansion, hoping to meet Ruo'er, but she was refused because Princess Rui was busy.
“Madam, are you still worried about the eldest lady’s refusal to see you?” Cuiping asked.
"Ruo'er, I really don't know what to do." Yun sighed.
"The eldest lady may be really busy. I heard that the eldest lady has accomplished a lot of things recently, and there are many people begging to see her," Cuiping said.
Cuiping’s words did not provide much comfort.
Because even if there are a lot of things to be busy with and there are many people to meet, Yun is her biological mother, so her priority should be the highest.
"That child has been keen on rescuing people since she was in Xingshan County, and is good at doing so. In today's troubled times, her care and skills have really come in handy. It's just that she has such a temper. That's a bit too stubborn." Yun said with emotion.
Yunshi nodded slightly: "Well, let's wait a little longer."
Yunshi waved her hand and said, "You have someone go to Prince Rui's Mansion to deliver the greeting card again." "I know this."

The tenth day of November.
The wedding of King Jing.
There have been so many things happening recently that everyone has almost forgotten that King Jing has also decided to get married this year.
The main wife that King Jing wants to marry is Zuo Lingyue, the daughter of the great scholar Zuo Yuanzhou.
She is a famous talented woman in the capital, dignified, generous, virtuous and talented.
Although the emperor meant that it would not be a big event, in fact the number of people who came to attend Chu Lan's wedding was only much more than the number of people who attended Chu Heng's wedding half a year ago.
The situation in the DPRK is gradually becoming clearer. Once the Qi family falls, Chu Heng loses 90% of his chances of winning. The person most likely to ascend the throne is Chu Lan. How can they not come to the emperor's wedding in the future?
The wedding invitation was received by Prince Rui's Mansion, but Wei Ruo did not go there in person because he was busy. He only sent someone to deliver gifts and congratulate her.
No one said anything about this, after all, Wei Ruo's busyness was obvious to everyone.
At the same time, everyone was more certain that Prince Rui's Mansion was really just doing its own thing. Neither Prince Yu nor Prince Jing were close to them, and they did not participate in the power struggles within the court.
At night.
Red candles flickered in Prince Jing's Mansion.
Chu Lan walked into the new house dressed in good news.
Looking at the bride sitting in front of the bed in her wedding dress, Chu Lan felt a little less joyful in her heart for some reason.
He has never been interested in his wedding. He knows that in his status, marriage is an important event that he has no control over.
In the past, he thought that no matter who he married, it would be the same, but now, there is a figure that appears in his mind from time to time.
He knew that she did not come to the house today, which was expected.
He could even guess what she had been doing these days.
But why was he so eager to see her on the wedding night that was supposed to be his?
Xu Heyou, Wei Qingruo…
Wei Qingruo, Xu Heyou…
The two people have been mixed together in his heart, even if there is no clear evidence to prove it now.
But the more he got to know Wei Qingruo, the more he became certain that they were the same person.
She did not hesitate to save the innocent people who were affected by the disaster, just like Xu Heyou did not hesitate to save him who was disfigured and whose identity was unknown...
Why didn’t he discover this earlier?
In his memory, the Wei Qingruo he saw always lowered his head and never dared to look directly at himself.
He once thought she was timid and shy.
Thinking about it now, it was because she was deliberately avoiding herself. She has never been someone who gets stage fright easily.
If he could discover this earlier, would he have a chance to marry her before Prince Rui? (End of chapter)
