After the male supporting role stopped interfering, the female protagonist suffered

Shen Tang smiled and didn't say anything else. She knew that few people in the world could do what her husband did.

After everyone went home, Shen Tang sat in the yard and looked up at the sky.

Zhou Hui sat next to her with a book in his hand and asked softly, "What did you say to Madam Shen? Why do you always seem so worried after you came back?"

Shen Tang turned to look at her husband and said in confusion: "Today, Sister Shen asked me if you bought the shop and put my name on it. I said yes, and asked her who told her that."

Zhou Hui smiled and said nonchalantly, "I think it's Madam Li."

Shen Tang looked at him in shock and asked incredulously, "How do you know it's her?"

Madam Li, wife of Zhang Zhiqi.

Like herself, she was an orphan and married Zhang Zhiqi by chance.

The only difference is that she is prettier than herself and her husband's family has a mother-in-law.

"That day, she saw me when I went to the government office to transfer the property."

"Come to think of it, she also saw us when we went to see the shop yesterday."

"It's not something to be ashamed of, so I don't care."

For Zhou Hui, the money to buy a shop was not much and he didn't need it.

He updated the storybooks in his study as a mountain watcher and shared the profits 50-50 with his employer.

The profits were good, which was why he had the money to buy a shop.

He never thought of using the things in the space unless he had no choice.

"But she told Sister Shen that you were just pretending and that you would abandon me when you got a high position in the future. She also said that I was extremely rude and unworthy of you."

Speaking of this, tears welled up in Shen Tang's eyes and he felt very sad.

"She also said that a man who gave money to a woman was trying to abandon her."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have used money to get rid of her."

"Yes, but she is different. Mr. Zhang likes her cooking, washing clothes and sweeping the house the most."

Shen Tang looked at her husband and asked sadly, "Husband, are you really willing to divorce me? So, you gave me the house deed and the money?"

Hearing this, Zhou Hui chuckled. He looked at Shen Tang and gently wiped away her tears.

"As the saying goes, where there is money, there is love. I give you money and the deed because I like you and love you. Because I can't bear to see you suffer."

"Love needs an economic basis. I don't like to be content with love."

"I only know that loving someone is like raising flowers. You need to carefully care for them, feed them, and give them attention."

"It's not just talk or making empty promises."

Zhou Hui scratched her nose lightly and said helplessly: "You are also a silly girl."

"I'm just jealous of you, waiting for you to come back and make trouble with me."

"Or I'll just piss you off and wait for someone else to marry me."

When Shen Tang heard that someone else was coming to marry her husband, she exploded. She said angrily, "That won't work! You are mine. You are my person in life and my ghost in death. No one can take you away."

Seeing her angry look, Zhou Hui quickly went to fetch some warm water and handed it to her, saying, "You! It's not worth getting angry over such a person."

With Zhou Hui's comfort, Shen Tang finally stopped being angry.

But she still remembered this incident.

The next day was the day when the results were announced, and Shen Tang had already prepared candies and copper coins as rewards.

Zhou Hui hired people to help look at the rankings. Not only him, but Ji Yuan and Song Qishan did the same.

It was Madam Li who ran out to see Zhang Zhiqi's house.

Because Zhang's mother felt that hiring someone and spending money was not a difficult thing.

"Mr. Zhou Hui from Tangshui Lane is the top judge in the county!"

"Mr. Zhou Hui from Tangshui Lane is the top judge in the county!"

"Mr. Zhou Hui from Tangshui Lane is the top judge in the county!"

Waves of shouting spread from the gate of the county government office to Tangshui Lane, and people from Tangshui Lane came to Zhou's house and said auspicious words.

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhou, for becoming the top candidate in the county case."

"Mr. Zhou is handsome and treats me very well."

"Madam Shen, congratulations on becoming a scholar's wife."

According to the Ningguo imperial examination rules, if one passed the county examination and ranked first, he could obtain the title of scholar without having to take the examination again.

"Thank you! Come and have some candy!"

Shen Tang was so happy that she quickly distributed candies and cakes to everyone.

The officials who came to report the good news also arrived. They congratulated Zhou Hui and Shen Tang, and Shen Tang's smile turned into a crescent moon.

She handed the reward to the officer and expressed her gratitude.

"Tangshui Lane is a really great place. Four people took the exam there. Three of them passed, and one of them even topped the county exam."

"Yeah! If I had known, I would have bought a house here earlier. Now, the price must have gone up."

"I heard that many students are asking about this place."

Tangshui Lane has become a popular place, and many people with students in their families come here to buy a house.

As a result, the property prices in the entire Tangshui Lane increased, and many people were tempted and wanted to sell their houses.

However, the house of Zhang Zhiqi in Tangshui Lane was shrouded in dark clouds. Madam Li was hit on the body with a ruler by Zhang's mother and began to cry.

"Are you guys annoying? Whose family is as chaotic as ours?"

Zhang Zhiqi walked out of the study with red eyes, like an angry beast.

Mother Zhang moved her mouth, wanting to say something, and then she heard Zhang Zhiqi say, "Mom, I'll send you back tomorrow!"

"What? You want me to go back? What should I do? Zhiqi, you can't be so heartless."

Zhang's mother started crying and said she would not go back, absolutely not.

"I have no conscience? Why do I have no conscience?"

"When I was in college, the teacher told me that I would be able to pass the exam."

"It's just that before the exam, you had a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days."

Zhang Zhiqi was extremely upset. Among the four people who went to take the exam, he was the only one who failed.

"Little Four."

Mother Zhang called out softly, tears welling up in her eyes.

She just couldn't stand Li Xiaohua's mean look. They both came from poor backgrounds, so why was Madam Shen so different from her?

"Mom, for my sake, you should go back. Otherwise, just be quiet and don't make trouble every day. Studying requires a quiet environment."

Zhang Zhiqi knew that letting his mother return to the village would be a particularly cruel thing to do.

But for the sake of his own imperial examination, he had to do it.

"Xiao Si, I was wrong. I don't want to go back. I won't cause trouble for Xiao Hua anymore and won't disturb your studies anymore."

Tears fell from the corners of Zhang's mother's eyes, and she looked at her son with a pleading look.

Zhang Zhiqi still couldn't bear it, and finally kept Zhang's mother.

Back in the academy, Zhou Hui, Ji Yun and Song Qishan went to Class B3 and separated from Zhang Zhiqi.

Because the courses were different, they gradually drifted apart.

Shen Tang also began to prepare to open a shop. The first thing he had to do was to decorate the shop and hire clerks and a manager.

Zhou Hui also gave suggestions, but most of them were done by Shen Tang himself.

She also asked Madam Shen and Madam Qian (Song Qishan's wife) to do business together.

Why didn’t you call her Madam Li?

The main thing is that there will definitely be gains and losses in doing business, and she was afraid that she would have a rift with Madam Li because of the money issue.

However, she never expected that she had already offended Madam Li.

In Huiyuan Temple, Zhou Hui sat at the top, and the person standing in the first place was Huiyun, the abbot of Huiyuan Temple.

"Master, my reputation has greatly increased, and more and more pilgrims have come to Huiyuan Temple."

Huiyun, who was Zhou Hui's former puppet, was also a Taoist priest when he was in the second prince's world, so he could be considered a professional match.

"Yes. Hibiscus, you covered your face and went to help the mistress."

Zhou Hui would be worried about Shen Tang traveling alone for business, so he decided to send Mu Jin over.

"Yes!"

Mu Jin covered her face with a veil and never revealed her appearance in front of anyone.

Because he had practiced the art of disguise, it was easy for him to conceal his appearance.

"Mu Tong, go to the capital and set up a flower shop to gather information."

After all, Zhou Hui was going to serve as an official in the court, so he had to know what was going on in the court.

It is necessary to build a flower pavilion, and Mu Tong is also familiar with this.

"The women in the Flower Garden all sell their art but not their bodies, just like the Su Nu Palace."

Zhou Hui hopes that Shihua Pavilion can bring back news, but he doesn't want them to sell their bodies.

"Yes!"

Mu Tong was wearing a green shirt, with a veil covering her face, and her eyes were as clear as autumn water.

But they were transformed from forsythia, and have no emotions in their hearts, only loyalty.

"Lin Yue, you followed Li Xiu on his business trip before, and you also learned some of his abilities."

"I allow you to withdraw thirty thousand taels of silver from Huiyuan Temple and take it with you to do business."

Zhou Hui also needs to control the economy, so sending his own people to do business is the best choice.

"Yes!"

Lin Yue took the order, he knew what he should do.

"Muqi, you have done accounts before, so go and help the mistress. Like Mujin, you must not use your true identity, and you must not disobey the mistress's orders."

Zhou Hui sent these two people over so that Shen Tang could get back on track quickly.

"Si Sha, train the secret guards to protect the master."

No matter what time, Zhou Hui needs to have his own power. He doesn't like the life of being a fish on the chopping board.

"Yes!"

Sisha was wearing half of a Rakshasa mask, leaving only his mouth and half of his nose.

After Zhou Hui explained what had happened, he took the food from Huiyuan Temple and left and headed home.

*

As night fell, Zhou Hui returned home. Shen Tang was very anxious and was thinking about going to look for him.

Seeing him come back, she checked his body, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's a good thing you're back! Otherwise, I would have gone crazy."

Zhou Hui put the food box on the table, busy serving the dishes, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There was a mountain accident in Xuanjing Mountain, and many people were trapped. Someone told me where you went before, and I was scared."

Shen Tang wanted to go to Xuanjing Mountain several times, but he never went out.

Because she remembered her husband's words, she couldn't run around and had to wait a night before doing anything.

If a night passes and there is still no news, then something must have happened.

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! I heard that the food at Huiyuan Temple is pretty good, so I went there to buy some food for you. Come and try it."

After Zhou Hui comforted Shen Tang, he strongly recommended the food at Huiyuan Temple.

Shen Tang sat down, took a few sips, and nodded repeatedly.

The next day, Zhou Hui went to class. When Shen Tang went to the shop, he saw two people bullying a woman.

As a woman, she couldn't bear to see it, so she picked up the wooden stick next to her and knocked the two men unconscious.

She pulled the woman on the ground and ran into the shop.

She ran into the shop, closed the door, and leaned against it, gasping for breath.

The bullied woman knelt on the ground, looked at Shen Tang with tears in her eyes, and said, "Thank you for saving me, but you only delayed my death."

"What? Delayed death? Madam, what do you owe them?"

Shen Tang didn't understand, what on earth was he owed? Why did he need his life in exchange?

"My lady, my name is Mu Jin. I am a craftsman. I usually make jewelry, rouge and other things to sell."

"It's just that three months ago, when I was setting up a stall in Fengcheng, I met a lady."

"She really liked the velvet hairpin I made for her in the shape of a forsythia flower, and then another young lady also took a fancy to it."

"They argued over it and broke the velvet flower hairpin. They asked me to make a new one, but I refused."

"They were very angry and took all their anger out on me. My business was also overturned."

At this point, Mu Jin couldn't help crying.

"I went home feeling uneasy and as if this matter was not over yet, so I packed up my things and left overnight."

Hibiscus smiled, but it looked sad no matter how you looked at it.

"However, they did not let me go. Instead, they thought that I looked down on them and was deliberately against them, so they wanted to cripple my hand."

While speaking, Mu Jin looked down at her own slender fingers, her eyes filled with bitterness.

Shen Tang's eyes lit up when he saw her white and slender fingers.

This hand is so beautiful, the skin is as white as cream, the hand is as slender as jade, the joints are distinct, and it looks so beautiful.

"Just now, before they smashed my hand, they also took the money away."

Speaking of this, Mu Jin's eyes were filled with loneliness and anxiety about the future.

"Madam Mu, this is my shop. I wanted to sell some girly things, but I never knew what to sell."

"I know it now after seeing you today. Hairpins, rings, rouge, embroidered handkerchiefs, sachets, etc."

"But how can ordinary things attract people?"

"Only rare and beautiful things. Lady Mu's thing can make two daughters fight so hard, so it must be a very good thing."

"So, I want to hire Madam Mu to work for me."

In fact, Shen Tang was just talking. After all, she had no advantage here. What if she had a brain seizure?

Mu Jin glanced at her and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Shen Tang felt disappointed, but still smiled and said, "Madam Mu, just say what you want to say."

"Then...then can you provide food and lodging? I...I have no money."

Mu Jin hesitated for a long time, but finally told her about her difficulties.

Her face was slightly red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Shen Tang.

Shen Tang was pleasantly surprised. She immediately said happily, "Of course. There is a small courtyard behind this shop, which is perfect for living."

"Gurgle!" Mu Jin's stomach rumbled, and her face turned even redder. She said sheepishly, "Sorry... I'm sorry! I'm so rude!"

"It's okay, let's go! I'll take you to dinner."

Shen Tang is a kind and trusting girl, otherwise she would not have helped Lin Yueran again and again in the plot.

It’s a pity that such a good girl was implicated by her original owner and was reincarnated early.

Shen Tang took Mu Jin to dinner, and on the way, she asked Mu Jin many questions.

But, Mu Jin answered them one by one.

She let Mu Jin stay in the shop and she also told Zhou Hui about it.

Zhou Hui said: It’s up to you to decide!
