The servant standing at the gate was frightened and stepped forward to persuade her: "Madam Liu, although you are the sister of the Princess of the County, there is a huge difference in your status and position. If you scold the Princess of the County, you will be thrown into jail."

He Shuzhen couldn't stand this: "Don't use this to threaten me."

The servant did not threaten He Shuzhen. Seeing that He Shuzhen refused to leave, he was no longer polite.

If he angered the Princess of the County, he would not have a good ending. He reached out and grabbed He Shuzhen's arm and dragged her to the street: "If you want to make trouble, go back to Liu Mansion, not to the Prince of the County Mansion."

He Shuzhen didn't expect that the servants of the Prince's Mansion would dare to be so arrogant to her. She would not allow these servants to bully her.

She stepped forward to teach the servant a lesson, but was stopped by Xiaoyu behind her: "Madam, don't make trouble at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, or you will be arrested by the government. The Princess of the Prince is a noble woman, and you cannot offend her casually."

"So what?" Although He Shulan was of noble status, in He Shuzhen's eyes, she was just a princess who had fallen out of favor. "I must make it clear to her today."

Chun Xia, who was hiding behind the gate, couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran out and said loudly to He Shuzhen, "It was Lord Liu who came here in person to ask my princess to let him participate in the cotton business. Don't make trouble here."

"You..." He Shuzhen was disrespected by the servants one after another, and she was furious: "This is a matter between her and me. What does it have to do with you? Let me in. I want to see He Shulan."

"The princess won't see you. Since you don't want to leave, I will report to the police." Chun Xia walked down the stairs angrily, wanting to take He Shuzhen to the government office.

Now He Shuzhen was scared and stopped making a fuss at the gate. She got in the carriage and left.

Chunxia clapped her hands proudly and walked into the mansion.

"He Shuzhen has left." He Shulan saw Chunxia's face full of joy.

"Yeah! I scared him away." At this point, Chun Xia complained a little: "Princess, I don't understand why you want to help Lord Liu."

He Shulan didn't think much about it. In her previous life, she had been with Liu Chen for decades. Liu Chen couldn't be nice to her, nor was he bad to her, and the two of them had no enmity.

Although Liu Chen is not ambitious, his character is not that bad: "If it is something that is convenient for me, I will help if I can."

"The Second Miss will not accept your kindness. She will only think that you are deliberately humiliating her. It is really true that good intentions are not rewarded. You can make a lot of money by selling cotton in the north. I don't know why the Second Miss wants to go against money."

He Shulan's lips curled slightly: "She is not against the silver, but against me. Tell the servants guarding the gate that if He Shuzhen continues to come to the Prince's Mansion to make trouble, there is no need to report to me, just stop her outside the gate."

"Yes."

After Chunxia left, He Shulan came to the Prince's courtyard.

Under He Shulan's meticulous care, the prince has almost recovered.

His face was still a little swollen, and he was lying lazily under a big tree.

"You've been staying indoors for almost half a month. Isn't it time to go out for a walk?"

The prince raised his head and looked at He Shulan: "Are you going to let me go out with this swollen face?"

"Your face is just a little swollen, it's nothing serious. The emperor has sent eunuchs from the palace to urge you to go to court several times."

The prince didn't want to be laughed at: "I won't go out until the swelling on my face goes down, let alone go to court."

Persuasion was ineffective, so He Shulan stopped talking: "Let me apply the medicine for you." She poured the medicine in the bottle into her palm.

She rubbed the medicine with her hands to warm it up and applied it on the prince's face: "This way, the swelling on your face will go away faster."

The prince enjoyed He Shulan's care very much. The aroma of medicine surrounded his nose, mixed with a fresh fragrance.

He opened his eyes and saw He Shulan's face so close to him. Her skin was so delicate and beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

The peaceful and tranquil life that emanated from her calmed his heart.

Noticing the prince's gaze, He Shulan felt a little uncomfortable: "Why are you looking at me? There's something dirty on my face."

At this time, the prince came to his senses and said, "You were right in front of me. I saw it even though I didn't want to."

He Shulan didn't respond, just applied the medicine evenly and left the yard.

The prince slapped his face to sober himself up. He seemed to be attracted to He Shulan.

"Why did you hit yourself in the face? Even though your face is still a little swollen, it's much better than before. Don't give up on yourself."

The prince raised his head and looked at Prince Ning who walked in from the gate. Ever since he fell ill, Prince Ning has been running to the prince's mansion every few days to make fun of him every day.

He turned around and ignored Prince Ning.

Prince Ning sat on the stool next to him and said unhappily, "I'm encouraging you, why are you still angry?"

Seeing that the prince still ignored him, he could only stop joking: "I didn't come to the prince's mansion this time to see you laugh. I'm going to the north to provide disaster relief."

The prince was no longer angry. He sat up from the recliner and looked at Prince Ning in front of him: "You said that as if you would never come back. There are so many officials in the court, why should they send you?"

Prince Ning rubbed his head and said, "The Emperor doesn't want me to go either, but this time I have to bring not only food and cotton, but also silver to provide disaster relief. The Emperor doesn't trust others with the money, so he specially asked me to go. I'm here to say goodbye to you today."

The prince patted Prince Ning on the shoulder and said, "Brother, protect yourself."

"I'm leaving first. When I come back from the north, we'll drink together."

"Okay." The prince didn't care about his swollen face and escorted Prince Ning out of the mansion.

……

He Shuzhen did not return to Liu Mansion, but went to He Mansion and found Chen Lerong.

Tell her about Liu Chen going to He Shulan to sell cotton.

Chen Lerong also didn't approve of Liu Chen's actions, but she wasn't so angry when she thought about the large sum of money she could earn. "Things have already come to this, so don't be angry anymore. Wait for Liu Chen to earn the money back, and then you can keep it in your hands."

"When I think about the fact that this money was earned by He Shulan, I feel very uncomfortable."

Chen Lerong smiled and said, "Girl, you still can't get along with money. Don't quarrel with Liu Chen because of this matter."

"It's too late." He Shuzhen returned to the He Mansion. In the short term, she did not think about returning to the Liu Mansion: "I will not go back until I am no longer angry."

Chen Lerong was anxious: "You are already married, how can you just spend the night outside."

"I don't care." He Shuzhen ignored Chen Lerong and returned to the courtyard where she lived before she got married.

……

As time went by, merchants from the capital continued to transport cotton to the north.

He Shulan would receive letters from the caravan every once in a while, and she would feel relieved to know that the caravan was safe.
