The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 375 Buying a Shop

Before Mu Qingning could react, Yunqi's slap had already landed on her face.

"Ah!" With a scream, Mu Qingning fell to the ground, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her lips.

Yunqi didn't even use one tenth of his strength, otherwise Mu Qingning would have been unsure whether she would be alive or not.

"You! How dare you hit me!"

Shang Ruoyi smiled and whispered, "The last person who asked me this was Princess Xiao." She walked slowly in front of her and said condescendingly, "I even dare to hit her. Do you think you are more noble than her?"

"Shang Ruoyi, you lowly person who doesn't even know who your biological father is, I'm going to file a complaint in front of the emperor! I'm going to expose your ugly face to the public! I'm going to let the world spurn you. I want to see if the Dingguo Palace will tolerate you."

"You don't need to worry about that." Shang Ruoyi sneered, "You said you wanted to file a complaint in front of His Majesty. I have the same intention. I want to ask the Emperor what the punishment is for being disrespectful to the Crown Prince's Consort in public as the daughter of an official."

"You!" Mu Qingning narrowed her eyes and laughed out loud: "I heard that the emperor of Nanjiang has sent an envoy from Nanjiang to Tianshun with the Saint Girl to express his apology. I heard that the Saint Girl of Nanjiang has already had a crush on someone, and that crush is His Royal Highness. Do you think that in order to ensure the stability of the country, will the emperor marry the Saint Girl of Nanjiang into the palace?"

The Saint of Southern Xinjiang?

Seeing her expression, Mu Qingning thought he had grasped Shang Ruoyi's lifeline, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Just wait and see! When the Saint of Southern Border marries into the palace, we'll see how you can still show off your power."

Shang Ruoyi curled her lips slightly, and said word by word: "When this prince's consort single-handedly repelled tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Southern Xinjiang, you were still enjoying yourself in the capital! Do you think I was like you, marrying into the Dingguo Palace relying on my family background?" The smile on her face gradually disappeared: "I dared to kidnap even the prince of Southern Xinjiang, a mere saint girl, do you think I'm afraid of her?"

Mu Qingning swallowed and was completely shocked by her aura. She didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"Since you like this shop, just buy it." Shang Ruoyi looked at the dumbfounded shopkeeper, smiled and said, "This is the eldest daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. She will definitely not be short of your money. Six thousand taels, just go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and ask for it."

what?

Six thousand taels?

Why is this shop so expensive?

Mu Qingning came to her senses and was about to refuse, but she heard the shopkeeper thanking her profusely and bowing continuously.

If she refused to buy it, she would be laughed at. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask the servant to get the banknote.

Seeing this, Shang Ruoyi walked towards where she was standing and said in a very low voice, "Six thousand taels, just consider it as buying a lesson."

After saying that, she walked out.

Leaving Mu Qingning behind him gritting his teeth.

Seeing that she had let Mu Qingning go, Yunqi couldn't help but whispered, "Princess, if you don't like it, I will take someone to take care of her."

Shang Ruoyi glared at him: "How come I learned so much banditry from your prince?"

Angry?

Yunqi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Princess, you are capable of doing such things as plucking feathers from a passing goose, and now you even think he has bandit-like qualities!

"People like this who don't have any brains can be kept and put to other uses in the future."

"Yes."

Shang Ruoyi and the others continued walking towards other streets.

After a long while, they came to the end of a street where a shop had been emptied, with only a few tables and chairs left.

"Princess, this was previously a jewelry store, but it has been closed for a long time. I also heard that the feng shui of this house is not good, so no matter what business you do, it won't last long."

"Oh?" Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly: "That should be quite interesting."

Yunqi couldn't help but hold his forehead when he saw this.

She walked into the shop. Just as the shopkeeper was about to lock the door, he was startled to see several people standing in the shop.

"Sir, may I ask what you are doing here? I have no more jewelry to buy."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Boss, are you selling this shop?"

"Sell, sell, sell! Of course I am selling it!" He said a little excitedly, "Take a look. If you like it, I will sell it to you at a lower price. There is a square courtyard behind this shop, which is very spacious."

Shang Ruoyi looked in the direction of his finger and nodded with satisfaction. She liked this shop very much.

"Although this shop is a bit old, it is still relatively new." The shopkeeper said, "I can give you a discount."

Shang Ruoyi looked at him in surprise. She hadn't even said she wanted to buy it, but he had already started lowering the price.

"Boss, this is the first time I've seen someone do business like you do."

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "To tell you the truth! This is no secret. I am not the first owner of this shop. It has passed through several hands before me. But you can see that this shop is at the end of the last street. There are no customers here. It has been closed many times."

Shang Ruoyi nodded when she heard this, it was indeed true.

"I opened a jewelry store and thought it would be popular, but there are too many jewelry stores on these streets. Who would walk so far to buy from me? Sometimes I can't sell a hairpin for more than a month."

Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "You are really honest."

"Although I am a businessman, I can distinguish right from wrong. My ancestors were traveling merchants, and it was not until my grandfather's generation that they opened a shop. Since I was a child, I have been taught by my elders that merchants should be honest and trustworthy."

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "What's your name?"

"Villain Zhang Wen."

"I want to buy your shop. Name your price!" Shang Ruoyi said with a smile, "If you haven't decided what to do in the future, you can come to my shop and be the shopkeeper first."

Zhang Wen was overjoyed when he heard this: "Are you really willing to buy this shop?" He rubbed his hands and said: "Three thousand taels, what do you think?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Okay."

Yunqi took out the silver note and handed it to him.

"I still need a shopkeeper. If you are willing to do it, I will pay you twenty taels of salary every month."

Zhang Wen was delighted. Could it be that he had met a god today? Otherwise, how could such a good thing fall from the sky?

He had been prepared to keep the shop, but he never expected that he could actually sell it: "Yes, yes, of course I am willing."

At this moment, a man hurriedly walked in from outside the door. Yunqi frowned when he saw him, put the dagger in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "Who are you?"

Before the man came close, he knelt down with a plop.

"Good man, please be kind and take over my shop as well!"

He couldn't stop crying: "My shop is just like Zhang Wen's, with no income at all. Now my whole family is waiting for food. I am really desperate. Please help me, kindhearted people!"
