At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Yu Yunxin was invited into the hall, and Yu Linshan, Madam Mu and her son, Yunshan, Yanluo, Chunyu and Qiushuang also followed in.

She was stopped outside the Ministry of Justice and was not allowed to come in. She just arrived after receiving a notification from the Ministry of Justice's bailiff.

She led everyone into the hall of the Ministry of Justice and saw An Yuanhou sitting at the bottom. She walked over and found a seat to sit down. "Has Father, Master Gu been convicted?"

An Yuanhou coughed and said, "Ten years in prison, is Princess Xingguo satisfied?"

Yu Yunxin looked back at Chunyu and saw that the swelling on Chunyu's face had subsided a little.

Chun Yu unconsciously touched his face and took out a stack of deeds and counted them, saying, "It seems that the princess is missing one!"

Yu Yunxin understood immediately and smiled at An Yuanhou, saying, "Prince Gu beat my housekeeper. Look at the red marks on my face. I had to use the best cream to heal them a little. It will take at least a month to apply them!"

"I am willing to bear the princess's losses. Tell me, what does the princess want?" asked Marquis Anyuan.

This An Yuanhou is quite sensible. An Yuanhou has a lot of property. She wants to extort a lot of money. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "I told my people that if anyone bullies my people, I will pay them back tenfold."

He looked back at Chun Yu and said, "Whatever Master Gu hit you with, you should pay it back tenfold."

"Yes, the princess." Chunyu replied.

"And the Marquis has to compensate my maid ten times the price of the Creamy Dew, and he also has to compensate me for the land deed I lost." Yu Yunxin said, counting on her fingers.

"My lord, how about letting me, as his father, beat my son up for his misbehavior? As for compensation, I will pay you one thousand taels, plus the deed to the restaurant on East Street that the lord wants. I will send someone to deliver it tomorrow." asked Marquis Anyuan.

Yu Yunxin looked back at Chunyu and saw that she didn't say anything. Since Marquis Anyuan had said so, she would not embarrass him anymore and said, "Okay, I will let it go for Marquis Anyuan's sake, but I will definitely not let you go next time."

An Yuanhou replied: "Don't worry, my lord. There won't be a next time."

Before leaving, he watched Marquis An Yuan personally beat his own son. He not only slapped him more than ten times but also whipped him with a whip. He only let go after Master Gu fell unconscious.

After leaving the Ministry of Justice, Yu Yunxin was very happy to see that it was already dark, so she invited Madam Mu and Mu Yihe to have dinner at Zuixianju. Yu Yunxin took out a copy of Journey to the West and handed it to Mu Yihe, saying, "This is the background I want you to make for me. Can you help me draw it? It has to be as big as a stage background."

"Don't worry, sister Princess, I will take care of it!" Mu Yihe replied.

"Okay, we'll send you the canvas after the stage is finished in a few days." Yu Yunxin said as she picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Mu Yihe.

"Princess, did you buy the restaurant in the east of the city to use it as a theater?" Pang Jinhua asked.

"That's right. By the way, Madam Mu, in a few days I will make some visiting cards to send to the noble ladies in the capital. I will hold a winter clothing exhibition at Xingxin Fabric Workshop." Yu Yunxin said as she explained the models and the jewelry she was going to wear, and also invited Madam Mu to help her with the dressing.

"Okay, this is a good thing, don't worry!" Anyway, the jewelry store has not been renovated in the next few days, so I can work for the princess at any time." Pang Jinhua replied.

Yu Yunxin went back to her house after talking about her plans for the next few days. The Hades didn't come during the days she was back in Beijing. I guess it's because the towers in Beijing are so high and there are so many guards for the wealthy families that he doesn't dare to come! Or maybe he is that person.

After pondering for a moment, he took out the jade pendant left by the Lord of the Underworld and looked at it.

On the second day, Marquis Anyuan delivered one thousand two taels of silver and the title deed of the East Street Restaurant to Yu's residence.

But the person at the doorman was Wang Yuanxiang's man and handed the silver and the land deed to Wang Yuanxiang.

"You said that these were sent to Princess Xingguo by people from Anyuan Marquis' Mansion." Wang Yuanxiang looked at the banknotes and deeds in his hand and immediately became interested.

But she didn't know that Old Lady Yu heard it outside the house and immediately asked the maid beside her to go to Yayun to inform Yu Yunxin.

At this time, after finishing breakfast, Yu Yunxin was practicing internal skills with Chunyu Qiushuang Yunshan and others. A day's plan begins in the morning, and the best time to practice is in the morning.

Chunyu heard Mother Li knocking on the door and opened it. Seeing that it was Mother Li beside Old Lady Yu, she asked, "Mother Li, what can I do for you?"

Madam Li said immediately, "The old lady asked me to come here to tell the princess that the one thousand taels and the restaurant deed sent by Anyuan Houfu are now in the hands of Aunt Wang."

Chun Yu immediately reported this to Yu Yunxin upon hearing this. Yu Yunxin immediately gathered her breath, stood up and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the hall."

"It's the princess!" Yunshan and Yanluo both stood up and followed. Under the corridor of the Yu Mansion, Yu Yunxin led a group of people behind her and walked towards the living room aggressively.

The magnitude of the scene was so great that none of the servants in the mansion dared to step forward to stop it or report it.

After rushing into the living room, she immediately snatched the banknotes and land deeds from Wang Yuanxiang's hands without saying a word and asked, "Auntie Wang, you are the concubine of the mansion. What qualifications do you have to take my things?"

"Yu Yunxin, don't think you are great just because you are a princess. Let me tell you that my Wang family also has a backer."

Yu Yunxin immediately found it funny when she heard it: "Isn't my father the backer of your Wang family? Could it be that Taifu Wang who was driven out of the clan by the elders of your Wang family, and the noble concubine Wang who became the current emperor's favorite concubine? If you recognize their relatives, will Taifu Wang's family recognize you?"

"Yu Yunxin, don't be so self-righteous. I tell you that my mother and I are going to the palace to see the imperial concubine today." Upon hearing Yu Yunxin say this, Yu Yunxuan immediately told her about going to the palace to see the imperial concubine Wang.

"You two, mother and daughter, are so shameless! Go and try to please Concubine Wang." Qiu Shuang immediately spoke up for her princess when she heard this.

"What qualifications does a servant have to talk to the master?" Yu Yunxuan immediately retorted when she heard it was Qiu Shuang.

"Then you too, what's the difference between a concubine's illegitimate daughter and the maidservant of my second-rank princess?" Yu Yunxin asked Yu Yunxuan.

She didn't like quarreling, so after getting the things in her hands, she turned around and wanted to leave. However, Yu Yun didn't quarrel enough and tried to block Yu Yunxin's way with one hand.

Seeing Yu Yunxuan rushing over, Qiu Shuang threw her over her shoulder, causing her to lie flat on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yuanxiang immediately walked over to help Yu Yunxuan up and said, "Old lady, old master, look, the eldest daughter has let the maids bully us. I won't live any longer. I won't live any longer."

When Mrs. Yu and Mr. Yu heard this, they immediately walked into the hall, looked at Yu Yunxuan who had fallen to the ground, looked at Yu Yunxin and said, "Xin'er, what's wrong..."

"Grandpa and grandmother, it was Aunt Wang who took my things first. After I got my things back, I didn't want to say any more nonsense with them and wanted to leave. I didn't expect my second sister to rush up to stop me, so Qiu Shuang attacked me." Yu Yunxin looked back at the two people sitting on the ground and said.

"Princess, I know some medical skills, so why don't you let me see the second young lady!" Yanluo said as she was about to step forward.

Wang Yuanxiang stopped Yanluo and said, "No, we have to go to the palace to see Concubine Wang today. I will tell Concubine Wang what happened today and let her deal with you."

After that, he helped Yu Yunxuan up, rubbed her back and said, "Xuan'er, you have been wronged. I will not let Yu Yunxin's maid touch you again."

"I am Aunt Wang, who came to check on the Second Miss's illness. I did not bully the Second Miss." Yanluo retorted.

"Yanluo, it doesn't matter if others don't appreciate it. It's their business if they fall in love with someone or go there to reason. We have no right to interfere." Yu Yunxin pulled Yanluo back and said.

"You two have seen what happened today, grandma and grandpa. The maids around me are all skilled in martial arts and they wanted to help me. Who knew that my second sister would rush over to deal with me?" Yu Yunxin said.

"Okay, Wang Yuanxiang, since you don't want someone who knows medicine to see me, Yu Yunxuan is fine. You shouldn't make a fuss about such a trivial matter in front of outsiders and let them laugh at our Yu family." Old man Yu said.

Wang Yuanxiang didn't say anything else and supported Yu Yunxuan and left the living room.

"Xin'er, you're really something. Why bother with them, mother and daughter?" Old Mrs. Yu comforted Yu Yunxin.

"Grandma, I had a conflict with Aunt Wang only because I was trying to get my things back. It's okay. They can't cause any trouble in the Yu Mansion." Yu Yunxin comforted the two elderly people.

"Grandfather, grandma, today I asked Mother Li to take you two to stroll around East Street. Mother Li is an elder in the Lin residence and knows the capital very well. I feel at ease having her by your side." Yu Yunxin said as she asked Chunyu to go to the storehouse to get some silver and money and gave it to Mother Li so that they could go out of the house and relax.

After arranging everything, she handed Chunyu one thousand two silver notes.

Chunyu didn't answer and asked: "Princess..."

"Take it! This is the compensation given to you by Marquis Anyuan, and I still think it's not enough!" As he said that, he stuffed it into Chunyu's hand.

"Since Princess Chunyu has given it to you, take it!" Qiu Shuang walked to Chunyu and said, "She took out a jade bracelet and handed it to Chunyu, saying, "This is a gift from the Princess. You get one and I get one too."

This morning, she was disappointed. She took the deed to the restaurant. The restaurant was very large and surrounded by a patio on three sides. There were two pavilions in the patio and a corridor in the middle that could go back and forth between the three sides of the house.

“Tear down the pavilion and corridor in the patio and build a large stage in the middle.” Yu Yunxin said after looking at the layout.

"The princess's patio is in a nice location, but what if it's windy or rainy?" Yanluo asked.

Yu Yunxin didn't go back. She went to the third floor and looked at the view of the patio from here. She thought for a while and said, "Then spend more time to renovate this place."

"Yunshan, send a few discerning disciples to other theaters and find some craftsmen who have built theaters to take a look."

After visiting the opera house, she brought people to Linglong Pavilion and found Si Niang. She told her about the winter clothing exhibition in a few days. Si Niang agreed as soon as she heard it. Her shop was the most famous ready-made clothing shop in the capital. With the addition of the Linglong Pavilion embroiderers, she believed that Linglong Pavilion's business would also flourish.

"Princess Qionglou and Haiwang are back, and they brought a lot of wool and winter cloth with them." Yunshan happily walked in from outside Linglong Pavilion and reported.

Arriving at the backyard of Linglong Pavilion, Qionglou and Haiwang talked about the situation in Liuzhou. They collected wool from many local villagers and set up a sheep farm there. The farm not only raised cattle, sheep, rabbits, but also chickens, ducks and geese. They also raised various furry animals, including minks and foxes.

A total of more than 10,000 acres of land were used to build a weaving workshop. One hundred women were bought from human traffickers and taught how to shear wool, collect duck down, spin wool, weave cloth, and make clothes. These people were all indentured, and neither the cloth nor the weaving methods would be passed on to outsiders.

"You have done a great job. I didn't expect you to do more than I thought." Yu Yunxin asked. "By the way, where do the minks and foxes on your ranch come from? How many do you have?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"The princess was sold to us by a hunter. There are twenty minks, half of which are pregnant females. Their fur is pure white, and there is one that is pure golden yellow. There are three colors of foxes, and we asked the breeders there to raise them separately according to their colors." Hai Wang replied.

“By the way, the hunter also found a fur workshop for us and we have been cooperating with it for a long time.” Qionglou said as he took out some prepared fur materials and handed them to Yu Yunxin.

When Si Niang saw the mink and fox furs, she picked them up and touched them and said, "These furs are made very well. Xin'er, it seems I have a few more styles of winter clothes for three days later." After that, she walked out of the room with the furs in her arms.

"What a coincidence! Did you notice that the cows and deer they gave us are the same as last time in Shangyang County?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Princess, do you doubt him? Isn't it wrong for him to do this?" Qionglou asked.

It takes five days for Liuzhou to reach the capital by horse speed, and seven days for goods, so that place is the most suitable for warehouse. They were still talking about: "Who is in charge of that place now?"

"It was Xuanrun and Yin'er who I transferred from Yuezhou. I also arranged twenty strong men with good skills there." Hai Wang replied.

Yu Yunxin didn't ask any more questions. After all, there were cattle and sheep. Even if women had strong internal strength and martial arts skills, they would not be very good. It would be better to find more male workers who could do physical labor.

"Although those workers are slaves, they should be allowed to live and eat well," said Yu Yunxin.

"Don't worry, Princess! We know you have a kind heart, and we have also made arrangements in Liuzhou. Boss Yang has opened a night market near the manor we bought, just a short walk away, so the food there is prepared by the chef of the night market restaurant. Every meal is a combination of meat and vegetables." Hai Wang replied.

"Yes, this time he gave us three hundred Vajra Umbrellas. I brought ten to the capital. He also made a special one for the princess. I will give it to you later." Qionglou said.

"Well, no rush, let's go back to this princess's residence." Yu Yunxin said.

This was also her first time to come to this imperially granted residence. She didn't know what it was like.

As soon as she entered the door, a nanny in her forties bowed to her and said, "Princess, I am the nanny who manages this mansion. You can call me Nanny Liu!"

"Is there anyone else in this mansion, Madam Liu?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"We are all palace servants selected by Eunuch Hu Man to serve the princess. There are also two palace maids, two cooks, two embroiderers, and two palace masters who know martial arts. They have all been castrated." Nanny Liu said as she called everyone out.

Looking at the nine people standing there, Madam Liu held a wooden box and said, "The mansions that are not specified in the imperial edict must be taken care of. Princess, don't worry, these people are innocent. Our indentures are all here."

Yu Yunxin took a look at the nine people's indentures and asked, "You are all from the inner palace. Why are you arranged here? Can you tell me the truth?"

"I was originally the head nanny of the treasury. Because I accidentally offended a noble concubine in the palace, I was going to be beaten to death. It was Eunuch Hu Man who saved me and arranged for me to live in this mansion." Nanny Liu said.

"These two were originally the personal guards of Prince Yu. Because they failed to protect His Highness Prince Yu five years ago, they were punished by the emperor to reflect on their mistakes here. The emperor may have forgotten about these two people over time. The two palace maids behind me are called Bizhu and Cui'er. They were originally the lamp-bearing maids in the imperial concubine's palace. They accidentally burned the palace lanterns at night. They were arranged here by eunuch Hu Man. The cook and embroiderer behind me did nothing wrong, but they didn't like the deep palace and asked eunuch Hu Man to arrange them here." Nanny Liu introduced them one by one.
