After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!
Chapter 165: There Will Be a War Sooner or Later
Song Mingli said calmly, "I have something to do today, I will invite Master Zhou another day."
As he spoke, Song Mingli had already walked in front of Xiao Taohong.
She glared at Zhou Hui's men coldly and involuntarily let go of Xiao Taohong's arm.
Xiao Taohong immediately hid behind Song Mingli.
Song Mingli's thin and frail figure now looked extremely tall and majestic.
He looks like a hero who comes to save a beautiful girl.
Zhou Hui gritted his teeth secretly and glared fiercely at his men.
Useless stuff!
I was actually stunned by the look in a woman's eyes!
"It's better to do it today than to wait for a day! Today is the day! If you don't go, you are not giving face to me, Master Zhou!"
Zhou Hui concluded that Song Mingli was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
He raised his chin and signaled his men to arrest the man!
A woman dared to block his way outside!
Oh, you look down on Zhou Hui too much! Today, he will have a "threesome", isn't it more interesting?
"Do it!" Zhou Hui said coldly.
Zhou Hui gave an order, but his men didn't move.
Song Mingli's maids and servants who were skilled in Kung Fu had already rushed into the silver shop and blocked Song Mingli and Xiao Taohong behind them.
The owner of the silver shop saw that the two sides were about to fight.
He looked outside anxiously, but the help had not arrived yet, but he could not just sit there and watch!
If a fight really breaks out and things are broken, the jewelry store will be the one that suffers!
"You two! You two! Calm down, let's talk it over nicely! Don't, don't use violence! It will hurt the harmony!" The shopkeeper smiled and bowed to both parties.
At this moment, the waiter from the silver shop rushed in from the door.
He was followed by a group of patrolling soldiers from Jingzhao Prefecture.
"Who is causing trouble?" the patrolling soldier asked sternly.
Zhou Hui frowned, "No one is causing trouble here!"
"Hey, Master Zhou? How come you are free today?" The soldier head bowed to him, "Would you please do me the honor of treating me to a cup of tea?"
"Is this your territory?" Zhou Hui said with a wry smile.
"Oh, that's right! It's my turn to patrol today. The security in Kyoto has been very strict recently. Not only our government office is keeping an eye on it, but even the Censorate is keeping an eye on it!"
The soldier shook his head and sighed, looking helpless.
Song Mingli curled the corners of his mouth...this was a reminder to Zhou Hui.
Tell him not to cause trouble! If something goes wrong, Jingzhao Prefecture will push him out first.
After all, the Grand Censor was the official who made direct recommendations and complaints to the Emperor.
If there is a problem with the public security that Jingzhao Prefecture is responsible for, they will not cover for Zhou Hui.
Zhou Hui snorted coldly, "You have worked hard too! Please have some tea, everyone."
The follower behind Zhou Hui stuffed a purse into his pocket.
Zhou Hui strode away. When he reached the door, he looked back at Song Mingli and Xiao Taohong.
"Just wait for me." He said coldly.
When Zhou Hui led his men away, Xiao Taohong's body softened and she almost fell to the ground.
Zi Su was quick to act and grabbed her.
Xiao Taohong's eyes were red as she looked at Song Mingli, "Madam, you saved me again! I will always remember your great kindness."
"I just see injustice." Song Mingli said lightly, and she glanced at Zi Su calmly.
Although Zi Su's face was pale, she was no longer as nervous and frightened as when she first saw Zhou Hui.
Song Mingli felt that everything she did was not just about saving Xiao Taohong.
"Boss, are you going to sell your shop?" Song Mingli asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper said, "Madam, you have a good eye. Our store is a time-honored brand. The owner had to move south with his family for family reasons, so he had to sell the store."
"The owner is also heartbroken and very reluctant to let go! There is nothing wrong with our store, and our reputation and quality are both excellent!"
"After Madam takes over, if she continues to do the gold and silver jewelry business, she will definitely make a lot of money!"
The shopkeeper praised his own shop and Song Mingli's vision.
Song Mingli knew that the price offered by this shop must be higher than she expected!
"If you really want it, sixty thousand taels!" said the shopkeeper. "Look, the decoration and cabinets in this shop were all renovated last year. They are all good stuff! You can use them for another ten years and they will be as good as new!"
“The material and style will never go out of style!”
"Sixty thousand taels is too expensive," said Song Mingli.
The shopkeeper was heartbroken and said, "Alas, if the boss hadn't been in a hurry to go back to the south, I wouldn't have sold this business even for 80,000 taels, let alone 60,000 taels!"
"This price is not a lie! It's the real price!"
Song Mingli nodded slightly, "I sincerely want it, 40,000 taels."
She might not have forty thousand taels now, but if she scraped together some money, maybe she could get it.
The shopkeeper immediately shook his head like a rattle, "You... the price you gave is not what I really want!"
Buying a shop is not like buying a small item.
Song Mingli didn't intend to reach an agreement in one go.
She just wanted to take a look first and ask a price so that she would have a rough idea in her mind.
After asking, she turned and left the silver shop.
"Where are you going? I'll take you there." Song Mingli looked at Xiao Taohong who was still in shock.
When leaving the silver shop, Song Mingli noticed with her sharp eyes that one of Zhou Hui's followers was hiding not far outside the silver shop, staring at them.
"No need. I've already taken up a lot of Madam's time." Xiao Taohong saluted.
"Zhou Hui hasn't given up yet. Let's go. I will help him to the end." Song Mingli smiled.
Xiao Taohong immediately looked around nervously.
She didn't see Zhou Hui, but the more she saw this, the more uneasy she felt.
She didn't bother to be polite and obediently got into Song Mingli's carriage.
"Thank you, ma'am..." Xiao Taohong said sincerely.
She saw clearly that there were so many people in the jewelry store, but no one helped her.
If Song Mingli had not stepped forward, she would have been taken away by Zhou Hui's men.
"For my sake, I have offended Master Zhou...will it cause trouble for the Madam?" Xiao Taohong asked anxiously, tugging at the corner of her clothes.
Song Mingli glanced at Zisu.
Zi Su's complexion has returned to normal, but her expression is dazed, and no one knows what she is thinking.
Song Mingli thought of his previous life... Jingyou had his tongue cut off by Prince Ping, and remembered his hatred and fear towards the third prince.
Zhou Hui is the Third Prince's brother-in-law and also his lackey.
Even if Xiao Taohong wasn't there, she and the Third Prince's party would have a fight sooner or later.
Now that she has encountered him, there is no reason for her to give in.
"Don't worry, I'll leave a few people with you, so that if he comes to trouble you again, they can take care of you."
Song Mingli said in a firm tone, "This is the capital, the emperor's feet. Even if you are a prince or noble, you cannot be unscrupulous."
"He just relied on the protection of the Zhou family and the third prince, so no one reported his deeds to the emperor."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Taohong looked at Song Mingli in surprise.
Song Mingli smiled slightly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xiao Taohong fell to her knees on the carriage floor with a plop.
Zi Su was startled, and when she came to her senses, she tried to help her, "What are you doing?"
"I am just a small actor. Even the owner of the troupe would not offend the rich and powerful for me! But Madam..."
"Madam, you think so highly of me! I don't know how to repay you for your kindness."
Xiao Taohong kowtowed solemnly.
Song Mingli asked Zisu to pull her up.
"You don't have to do that. You and I are both women. When I saw you being bullied, I just thought of my past self."
Song Mingli curled the corners of his mouth...
She in the previous life, Zisu in the previous life, Molan in the previous life... and Jingyou in the previous life, the most pitiful and innocent one.
On the surface, she was saving Xiao Taohong, but in reality, wasn't she also soothing the pain from her past life?
