Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

Over the next few days, the prince was very busy and soon the imperial physician found out the cause of the disease. Just as He Shulan guessed, those who felt unwell after eating the snacks did not have serious problems and they recovered after taking some Chinese medicine.

This put the prince's heart at ease. The matter was finally settled, and he allowed the pastry shop to continue using expensive flour to make pastries.

Even so, the store's business plummeted, and no one from the capital was willing to buy from it anymore.

This made the prince so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

……

Li Wanrong, who had been locked in the yard for so many days, could no longer sit still and started to make a fuss about going out.

The servants in the mansion did not dare to release Li Wanrong without receiving orders from the prince.

Li Wanrong was so angry that she cursed the servants in the mansion.

Xing Er stepped forward and covered Li Wanrong's mouth: "You are a concubine, you are only half a master in the mansion. You are cursing like this, and you have angered the old lady. What if she sells you out?"

Li Wanrong pushed Xing'er away angrily: "Why did that old man sell me out? I wasn't sold into the mansion."

"Because you are not the wife, but a concubine."

This could not threaten Li Wanrong, who had lived in modern times for many years. "I have the favor of the prince, and there is also the law. The old lady can't sell me out. Now is not the time to discuss this matter. You should go to the prince and ask her to let me out. I am almost sick from staying in the yard every day."

Xing'er was embarrassed. This was the law. If a concubine insulted her master, she could be sold. She didn't say this out loud. It would be useless to say it. She changed the subject to the prince: "These past few days, my aunt has asked me to go to the prince almost every day. The prince is still angry. It's useless to go to him. He won't let you go."

Li Wanrong shouted in anger, but she was helpless.

The noise in the yard was heard by He Shulan and the old lady who were passing by.

The old lady learned about the pastry shop from the servants, and she became more and more disgusted with Li Wanrong: "This damn vixen, the pastry shop, decades of reputation, was completely ruined by her, what a shallow-minded person."

He Shulan patted the old lady on the back and said, "The prince has already solved this matter, so don't be angry."

"How can I not be angry? Because of what she did, the mansion lost tens of thousands of taels of silver. Without silver, all the people in the mansion will be left to starve."

At this point, He Shulan didn't know how to respond, so the two of them went for a walk in the garden.

Because of Li Wanrong, the old lady became angrier and angrier. She dragged He Shulan to find the prince and said, "Such a thing happened in the dim sum shop, and you still plan to let Aunt Li continue to manage it."

This incident was indeed quite a big deal, but it was not a big problem. The prince was reluctant to punish Li Wanrong: "When you open a food store, there will be some problems. Fortunately, it was just a stomachache. Besides, Wanrong changed the expensive rice noodles to cheaper ones in order to make more money. Don't take the snack shop matter to heart."

The old lady was furious at what the prince said: "At this time, you are still not sober. If you continue to let her manage the store, the business that the prince's mansion has worked hard to build for so many years will be ruined by her."

The prince disagreed: "Old lady, you are exaggerating. Aunt Li is just a woman, how could she lose all the business of the prince's mansion? I will supervise her in the future, and this will not happen again."

"How many times have you promised Aunt Li in front of me? When has she changed her mind?"

The old lady's words blocked the prince, who didn't know how to respond: "Anyway, don't worry about the affairs of the mansion. I will take care of it."

"Hmph, now you have been bewitched by the vixen of Aunt Li and you can't tell east from west. I want to see if Aunt Li can manage the affairs of the mansion. If something like this happens again, let Aunt Li give the power of the household to Shulan."

The prince nodded reluctantly.

As the two were talking, the prince's personal servant rushed in hurriedly. Seeing the old lady and He Shulan sitting at the upper seats, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

The old lady was furious: "Look at how reckless you are. How disrespectful you are."

The servant was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "It was I who offended you."

The prince sitting there knew that the servant must have something urgent to report to her: "Old Madam, it's getting late, you should go back and rest first. I will have dinner with you when I have time."

The old lady looked at the bright sunny sky outside and glared at the prince: "Isn't it too early for me to go back to the yard to rest at this time? I haven't even had lunch yet."

The prince who used to speak without thinking is no longer talking. Now, whatever he says is wrong.

The old lady did not stay and pulled He Shulan out of the yard.

When the two men disappeared at the door, the prince anxiously pulled the servant up and asked, "What happened?"

"Just now, the manager of the cloth shop asked the embroiderer of the shop to come to the mansion. Something happened in the cloth shop. Recently, customers who came to the cloth shop to buy cloth and customers who had clothes made in the cloth shop have come to the store to ask for returns."

The prince's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this matter had something to do with Li Wanrong: "Why did this happen?"

"It was Aunt Li who asked the manager of the cloth shop to replace the expensive cloth with cheap ones and sell them to customers at the original price. The cheap cloth was of poor quality, uncomfortable to wear and easily scratched the skin. Customers came to the store to ask for a refund."

The prince's eyes went dark, and he almost fainted: "Tell the steward that all cloth purchased from the Prince's Mansion Cloth Shop, who come to ask for a refund, will be returned to them at double the price."

The servant received the order and left the Prince's Mansion in a hurry.

The prince came to Li Wanrong's courtyard.

When Li Wanrong saw the prince, her eyes lit up. She ran over and hugged him: "You finally came to see me."

The prince pushed Li Wanrong away and said, "You asked the manager of the cloth shop to replace the good cloth with the bad one."

Li Wanrong looked away with an erratic look in her eyes, not daring to look at the prince: "I don't understand what you are saying?"

"You're still trying to make excuses now. The manager of the cloth shop found me and I know everything you did."

Li Wanrong no longer wanted to hide it, and simply said, "I asked the manager of the cloth shop to do this."

"You..." The prince grabbed the vase on the table and threw it on the ground angrily: "I think you have lost your bottom line in order to make money."

"Which businessman doesn't make money by sucking the blood of his customers? How can he make money if he does business in a law-abiding manner?"

"You can't cheat or deceive. This is the Prince's Mansion, not an ordinary people doing business here. If its reputation is damaged, losing business is a small matter. But how can I face my ancestors if the reputation of the Prince is damaged?" The Prince's eyes turned red.

Now, Li Wanrong understood that she had crossed the prince's bottom line. Things were already like this and there was no way to save them: "Although those fabrics are very cheap, they are wearable."
