The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

When the old lady heard that she had to pay back ten taels of silver, she immediately refused to do it. She looked at Shen Ruolan and said, "Anyway, I didn't ask you to clean up this house. How much money you spent has nothing to do with me. Besides, this house belongs to my son. If he rents it out without my permission, it doesn't count. I haven't received any rent. You can go ask him for it yourself."

Seeing the old lady being so unreasonable, Shen Ruolan's face instantly darkened. She looked at the old lady and said to her in the same words: "It's your son who rented the house to me. If you want a house, go find him."

After she finished speaking, she ordered the people behind her, "Come here, guard the door for me. Anyone who dares to break in, just beat them out."

"Yes, master." After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, more than ten men and women in the house said to Shen Ruolan in unison.

The old lady felt guilty when she saw that Shen Ruolan actually had a large group of servants, because in her opinion, people who could afford servants were definitely not ordinary people.

Another younger woman, seeing that the old lady was scared, quickly fanned the flames and said, "Mom, Dalang is getting married soon. What will we do if we don't have a house to live in?"

When the old lady heard her daughter-in-law mention her eldest grandson, she instantly became bolder. This time she changed her strategy and just rolled on the ground, crying loudly, "Oh God, please save me! My eldest son is being filial to me, but my house has been occupied. How can I live like this?"

"Wow, wow, wow..." After the old lady said this, she covered her face and burst into tears.

Shen Ruolan looked at the old lady who was throwing a tantrum, feeling extremely disgusted. Just as she was thinking about how to deal with her, she heard the old man from yesterday yelling, "Zheng Wangshi, what are you doing here?"

When the old lady saw the village chief coming, she quickly got up from the ground and said, "Village chief, I'm here to take back my eldest son's house."

As the old lady finished speaking, the villagers who came with the village chief suddenly laughed and said to her with disdain: "Old lady, have you forgotten that your eldest son has long been expelled from the clan by you? He is no longer a member of your Anhe Village."

Village Chief Wu said to Zheng Wang with a sullen face: "Zheng Wang, if you leave now, I won't mind. Otherwise, don't blame us in Nanfeng Village for being ruthless."

After hearing what the villagers said, the old lady glared at him and said, "As long as Zheng Dashu is alive, he will always be my son. His things also belong to me, so it is only natural for me to take his extra house."

Seeing that he couldn't convince her, the village chief directly ordered the villagers behind him: "Come here, go and invite Village Chief Anhe, and tell him that their villagers are causing trouble in the village. If he comes a step later, he will be beaten to death!"

"Yes, village chief." After the villagers finished speaking, they turned around and walked towards Anhe Village.

The old lady quickly surrendered to the village chief and said, "Village Chief Nanfeng, you can ask me not to cause trouble, but you must give me a share of the rent. Otherwise, I will die in front of this house."

After hearing what the old lady said, the village chief couldn't help but frown. Logically speaking, Zheng Dashu was her biological son, so it would be okay to give her some silver.

However, before Zheng Dashu left, he had instructed that his money could be given to anyone except the Zheng family in Anhe Village.

When Shen Ruolan heard that the other party was going to die at her door, she sneered at her and ordered the servants: "Aunt Liu, go get the big knife and rope in the kitchen and let the old lady die quickly."

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment and answered loudly, "Yes, Master."

After saying that, she hurried to the kitchen.

After Aunt Liu left, Shen Ruolan took out a dagger from her bosom, sneered at Old Madam Zheng, and said while touching the blade of the dagger, "I like to fulfill other people's wishes the most. Old Madam, you want to die at the gate so much. Wait until the dagger and the rope are out, and you can choose one of your own."

After she finished speaking, she paused and continued to say to the old lady: "My dagger is very sharp. If you can't die immediately, I can use it to help you."

Shen Ruolan's words frightened the old lady so much that she trembled all over. Seeing Aunt Liu coming out of the kitchen with a big knife, she quickly cursed at Shen Ruolan, "You damned young man, just wait for me. I won't let you go."

After she finished speaking, she quickly shouted to the people behind her: "Second brother, third brother, hurry home."

After saying that, she ran away without looking back.

The woman behind her was afraid that Shen Ruolan would really kill someone, so she glared at her hatefully and left with resentment on her face.

After the Zheng family left, Village Chief Wu said to Shen Ruolan, "Young man, you don't have to care about that family. Zheng Dashu's family has severed ties with them a long time ago. Everything here has nothing to do with them."

Shen Ruolan said to Village Chief Wu: "Thank you for telling me, old man."

After she finished speaking, she instructed Aunt Liu behind her: "Aunt Liu, go and get the string of copper coins in my bag."

"Yes, master." Aunt Liu bowed to Shen Ruolan and turned around to get the copper coin.

Soon she came out with the copper coins and said, "Master, here are the copper coins."

Shen Ruolan took the copper coin and handed it to Village Chief Wu, saying, "Uncle, this is my gift to the villagers. I would like to trouble you to divide it equally among everyone."

There were not many families in the village, only about twenty households in total. She gave the old man one hundred copper coins, and each family could get a few.

After what happened just now, Shen Ruolan deeply understood one thing: if she wanted to survive safely in this unfamiliar environment, it was very important to establish good relations with the local villagers.

Village Chief Wu looked at the copper coins handed over by Shen Ruolan and was very tempted, but he still suppressed his inner desire and said to Shen Ruolan with an uncomfortable look: "Brother, it's not easy for you to come here from thousands of miles away. How can I accept your money?"

Shen Ruolan handed the silver to him and said, "Old man, please accept it. I will live here for a long time. In the future, I will have many things to ask you for advice."

Village Chief Wu saw Shen Ruolan's sincerity. He hesitated for a moment, took the copper coin and said to Shen Ruolan: "Since it is a kind gift from you, I will accept it for everyone. Thank you, brother."

"You're too polite, old man." Shen Ruolan paused and looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, I want to ask you if there is a place to buy food nearby?"

After that, she continued, "To be honest, old man, we have no more food to eat, and there is nowhere to buy food in Cang Ling City, so..."

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, Village Chief Wu instantly understood what was going on. He sighed and said to her, "Little brother, you don't know that we haven't had a decent meal for three months."
