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

The boss asked the waiter to take out the prepared fur.

The waiter quickly took out the fur from the warehouse, placed it on the counter, opened it, and let Huo Jian inspect it.

The fur has not been processed and is still in its most original state. Not only is there no odor, but the sweater is not very soft.

Huo Jian looked at it, counted it, and found the amount was correct, so he asked, "How much?"

"Five hundred taels."

Huo Jian nodded with satisfaction, thinking that it was not very expensive and he could make several times the profit if he resold it.

Li Wanrong, who was standing nearby, saw a few tattered furs on the counter, which cost five hundred taels of silver. She pulled Huo Jian, who was about to give her the silver, with a look of surprise on her face, and said, "This boss is obviously cheating you. These furs are worth at most ten taels of silver."

Huo Jian was amused by Li Wanrong's words. He laughed joyfully instead of mocking Li Wanrong's ignorance: "I am going to sell them in other countries, so I haven't processed them. These are all wild fox furs, which are precious and rare, so they are so expensive."

Li Wanrong understood now, and she felt inexplicably moved towards Huo Jian. She was with the prince, who doted on her very much, and even disregarded the rules and gave her the power to manage the prince's mansion. However, she did not know how to do business and had no business acumen.

Every time something happened, the prince would only blame her, and she would instinctively push the responsibility away. The two of them often quarreled about this. But it was different when she was with Huo Jian. Not only would he explain it to her, he would also explain it patiently: "I know."

Huo Jian gave the silver to the boss and left with the wrapped fur.

The boss hurriedly followed and sent them out the door. The boss couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Huo Jian in a low voice: "Is this woman you brought here your wife?"

"No." For the sake of Li Wanrong's reputation, Huo Jian did not give any further explanation.

The boss took a long time to react: "If she is not your wife, why do you take her around everywhere? Is she the girl you like?"

"You're nosy." This was not the first time Huo Jian had done business with the boss, so they were very familiar with each other and didn't speak in such a polite manner.

"We've known each other for so many years. There's no need to hide your love for her from me. Liking someone is not something to be ashamed of."

Liking the prince's concubine is a shameful thing. If you are not careful, you may lose your head. Huo Jian replied: "Don't ask so many questions. If I can tell you, I will tell you." After that, he no longer paid attention to the boss, supported Li Wanrong, and walked into the carriage.

Huo Jian asked, "Should I send you to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, or climb over the wall and throw you into the yard?"

"Please send me to the gate of the Prince's Mansion! The servants won't let me go out, but they dare not stop me outside."

"Okay." Huo Jian stopped the carriage in front of the prince's door, helped Li Wanrong get off the carriage.

This scene was seen by the servants guarding the door. Seeing Li Wanrong flirting with another man, they frowned. This concubine Li was too shameless.

What made him curious was how and when Aunt Li went out. He watched Aunt Li walk into the gate and didn't know how to ask.

But he went to the prince first and told him that Aunt Li had been sent back by another man.

The prince's face turned ugly. No man could stand being cuckolded, but that man just sent Aunt Li back, which didn't prove anything: "I know what you said, you go and do your work first."

……

Li Wanrong returned to the yard and saw Xing'er sleeping on a chair. She went forward and pushed her: "Xing'er, it's already daybreak, hurry up and get up."

Xing'er opened her eyes and looked at Li Wanrong in front of her. She stood up from the ground and asked, "Auntie, did you just come back?"

"Yup!"

Xing Er was horrified: "You are so bold, how can you stay out overnight with a man?"

Li Wanrong tapped her head with her slender fingers: "Girl, what are you thinking about? Huo Jian and I didn't do anything. We were just watching fireflies on the top of the mountain."

Xing'er was no longer able to explain. Even if Aunt Li and Huo Jian had done nothing, in the eyes of others, this was still considered an affair: "Aunt, please don't do such things in the future. My heart can't take it. If it happens a few more times, I will definitely die young."

Li Wanrong smiled and said, "You are too timid. I will go back to my room to rest first. No matter what happens, don't disturb me."

……

Soon, the news that Li Wanrong was sent back to the Prince's Mansion by a strange man reached the old lady's ears.

He Shulan, who was having lunch with the old lady, also found out about it. She raised her eyebrows slightly. She knew that Li Wanrong was bold, but she didn't expect that she was so bold as to find a man outside without telling the prince.

The bustling hall was unusually quiet. The servants standing there serving held their breath and dared not utter a word, fearing that the old lady would vent her anger on them.

He Shulan comforted her, "That man was just sending Aunt Li back. He might be the coachman. Don't take it too seriously, old lady. I will find Aunt Li later and ask her to pay attention to her identity and not cause any shame for the Prince's Mansion."

The old lady was silent for a while. She certainly would not believe that the man who helped Aunt Li get off the carriage was the coachman. Which coachman would have the courage to touch Aunt Li's hand? "I'll leave this matter to you."

After finishing her meal with the old lady, He Shulan left the yard.

Nanny Chen asked He Shulan in confusion: "Why does the Princess of the County care about this matter? If you don't manage it well, you will also be implicated."

"Just warn Aunt Li a few words. It's her business whether she listens or not. I am now the mistress of the Prince's Mansion. I don't care now. If Aunt Li has any problems, I won't be able to report them. I warned Aunt Li, but she still does what she wants. If something happens, it has nothing to do with me."

Now Nanny Chen understood.

Chunxia curled her lips in disdain. She didn't know how Aunt Li could do such a thing. "Isn't she afraid of being driven out by the prince?"

He Shulan smiled and replied: "Maybe she is not afraid at all."

The master and his two servants came to Li Wanrong's yard.

Chunxia said to Xing'er who was standing outside the door, "Where's your aunt? Hurry and ask her to come out. The princess wants to see her for something."

Xing Er glanced at the tightly closed door. Thinking of Aunt Li's instructions before she went to bed, she didn't dare to knock on the door to disturb her: "My aunt is not feeling well and is resting."

"You are so bold." Chun Xia scolded, "She is just a concubine, and you dare to put on airs in front of the princess. Let your concubine come out immediately."

Xing Er wasn't afraid of Chun Xia. They often quarreled. Facing the Princess of the County, she was so imposing without even getting angry that she swallowed her saliva nervously. She didn't dare to cover up for Aunt Li anymore: "Aunt is resting in her room."

Nanny Chen snorted coldly: "What a shameless thing you are. You are still sleeping at this time."
