After experiencing Lu Yi selling off the disobedient servants, the people in Hanhuiyuan no longer dared to disobey Lu Yi.

Lu Yi ordered the gate to be closed, and they dared not disobey.

Soon Xiaoyou and his servant were locked outside the yard.

The onlookers whispered again: "Xiao Qing is right, this Miss Xiao You is really something, she wants to use other people's sympathy to force the prince's wife to drink tea, she is so scheming!"

"Yes, she is said to have come from a brothel—"

"Shh! Keep your voice down. The princess doesn't like people talking about her like that."

"Oh, oh, she came from that kind of place, she is a foxy girl, I don't know what tricks she used to make the prince fall in love with her."

"Isn't it? It's been more than a month since the wedding, and the prince and his wife haven't consummated their marriage yet."

"No wonder, if it were me, I wouldn't drink this tea either!"

"That's it!"

"Why isn't the Duke's wife anxious at all? It's been more than a month. If she's lucky, the little boy would be in the Crown Prince's wife's belly now."

"The Duke's wife must be anxious, but the prince won't agree, so there's no point in being anxious!"

The Duke's wife was actually not in a hurry at all.

Xiaoyou is not qualified to give birth to her grandchildren, so Lu Yi is not qualified to give birth to her legitimate grandson, let alone the future Duke of Zhenguo.

Therefore, whether Zhan Shijun and Lu Yi consummate their marriage or not, Mrs. Du is not in a hurry.

"Madam, the prince's wife is quite courageous. She has only been here for over a month, and she has already made Xiaoyou suffer several losses." After Madam Du learned about what happened at the gate of Hanhuiyuan, she said to Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du looked at the account book and replied, "Indeed, I did not make a mistake. The emperor asked me why he chose a fifth-rank family when there were so many noble daughters. Do you know what I answered him?"

Madam Du smiled and said, "The emperor loves you, whether you speak up or not, the emperor will not offend you."

Mrs. Du nodded: "That's right, we grew up together. If my parents hadn't died early, he would definitely..."

"Madam," Madam Du interrupted her, looked around, and said, "I understand."

Mrs. Du smiled and said, "You are just too cautious. It's not like he doesn't know about these things."

Aunt Du knew that she was referring to the Duke of Zhenguo, so she poured her a cup of tea and said, "Knowing is one thing, hearing is another."

Mrs. Du took a sip of tea and said, "Well, let's not talk about this matter. Let's talk about how I responded to the emperor. I responded to him at that time: My family is well-off, so I need a powerful person to govern me."

They both laughed as they spoke.

Madam Du said, "I think when the prince comes back later, his wife will be bothered by him again. What do you plan to do?"

Mrs. Du said, "How can I know? I have been looking at the account books for a whole day and I feel dizzy and confused. How can I know about Hanhuiyuan?"

Nanny Du smiled, knowing that her wife didn't intend to care about the matter anymore.

So she replied, "Okay, I will ask them to turn off the lights and go to bed early."

Du replied: "Yes."

Sure enough, at night, when Zhan Shijun was off duty, he saw Xiaoyou's red and swollen forehead and heard the servants' words, and his anger suddenly rose to the rooftop.

He picked up his weapon and said, "I'm going to kill that bitch!"

How could Xiaoyou watch him being so impulsive? Killing Lu Yi was a small matter, but she would definitely not be able to stay in this mansion, and might even be punished by the Duke.

Originally, she didn't know all this. It was the newly bought maid Cuicui, who had worked in a wealthy family before and knew all these connections, who told her about them.

If Zhan Shijun killed Lu Yi today because of this matter, the emperor would definitely blame him. Zhan Shijun would be dissatisfied with his arranged marriage, and the Duke of Zhenguo would definitely push her out to protect his son.

Of course she wouldn't let that happen.

Xiaoyou grabbed Zhan Shijun and buried her face in his chest. She had already finished her confinement and knew what she could do.

She hugged Zhan Shijun and said gently, "Don't be like this. Wait, if something happens, how can you let me live?"

This was an ambiguous statement. She meant that she would definitely be dealt with, but Zhan Shijun thought Xiaoyou was worried about him.

Zhan Shijun hadn't touched Xiaoyou for a month. Now Xiaoyou was lingering on him affectionately. He was a hot-blooded man, so he turned his anger into another kind of power.

The two of them spent the whole night together.

Hanhuiyuan spent a peaceful night.

The next day, Mrs. Du found out that her son didn't go looking for trouble with Lu Yi. She was surprised: "Did Xiaoyou suddenly grow up smart, or did Shijun suddenly grow up smart? Why is everything so peaceful?"

Of course, the Du family has spies in every courtyard, but the spies have not come to report yet, or they think this matter is nothing, so they have not come to report.

Lu Yi didn't care. She wanted to go and check out the business of the shop. She had to say that He Qingshu was really good at doing business.

Lu Yi only invested 500 taels in this shop, and now in less than a month, he has already made 500 taels.

Lu Yi brought Xiaolan, Daqing and Xiaoqing to the shop again.

After spending some time together, Lu Yi likes Daqing and Xiaoqing the most, and her attitude towards He Qingshu has also changed from distrust in the beginning to her current recognition.

She is now sitting in the yard behind the shop, drinking tea.

She is most relaxed only in this yard.

She looked at Daqing and asked, "Daqing, do you and Xiaoqing know Kung Fu?"

Daqing replied, "Yes, ma'am."

Lu Yi said: "Can you take Xiaolan and I to learn?"

Da Qing thought about it and replied, "Of course."

Lu Yi said to Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, from now on we will learn martial arts with Daqing and Xiaoqing, so that we won't be bullied."

Xiaolan replied: "Okay, I will listen to you, miss."

After looking at the shop for a while, Lu Yi took the money he earned from the shop and went back to the Lu family.

Yan looked at the silver she took out and said with some anger: "My son, take this money yourself. Dad and mom have money to use. Your father's salary, mom's dowry shop, and a small farm in the suburbs of Beijing are enough for us to use."

Lu Yi said in surprise: "Mom, so we have a shop too?"

Yan lowered her head in embarrassment, and then replied: "Alas, mother only has one shop, and she doesn't make much money, so I don't have the money to prepare a shop for you as a dowry."

Lu Yi said nervously, "Mom, what are you talking about? How could I blame the fact that there was no shop in my dowry? You and Dad were so good to me and wanted to give me everything good. If I still fight for these, wouldn't I have no conscience?"

Yan said: "My son, you have grown up."

Lu Yi hugged Yan and said, "Have Zhao and Xu been well behaved recently? Have they made any progress in their studies?"
