The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Chapter 729 The Princess Appears

"Do I see that you are jealous of your sister-in-law?"

If we were to say who knew Liu Yue'e best, it would have to be Liu Yue'e's mother, Zhao.

Liu Yue'e said, "Who wouldn't be jealous? She was the most honest in the family, but she had such great luck. If I had known, I would have adopted Xiaolong. Isn't it more reliable to say that he is the illegitimate child of Dashu than the illegitimate child of the eldest family?"

Zhao curled her lips and said, "Why didn't you stand up at that time? Wasn't it because you felt the risk was too great? How could I not know what you were thinking? You regret it now, but you only regret it when you see your sister-in-law benefit from this matter. You want to climb up when there is a good thing, and you shrink your head when there is a risk. How can you take all the benefits?"

"Who doesn't want to get some benefits? I thought it was some rich young man who was being hunted. If I knew he was the crown prince, I would have stood up. This is how the saying goes that wealth and honor come from risk."

Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "Come on."

Chen Sufen doesn't think that wealth and fame can be achieved through risk.

"It's useless for you to know. Don't you know what happened when Xiaolong came to your house? So many people surrounded the village to search for the son of a traitor. If you knew he was the grandson of the emperor, you would have been scared to death. If your mother-in-law wasn't so powerful, you might have been able to take the grandson of the emperor to hand over for the reward. Don't look at your sister-in-law as a lady now, she paid for it with her life. If the emperor were to investigate the crime of hiding Xiaolong, would your sister-in-law be able to escape? Whether to reward or convict, isn't it up to the emperor's whim? So don't think about it. What's not yours is not yours. Wait for Dashu and Yaozu to earn it for you."

Liu Yue'e was just jealous of Chen Sufen's good luck in her heart, and had no intention of becoming Chen Sufen's wife.

Zhao's words instantly filled me with hope.

That’s right, she also has Yaozu.

Relying on the "cousin" relationship between Yaozu and Taisun, won't she be able to become a lady in the future?

"Mom, you are right. My Yaozu is not good at studying, but he is lucky to be a cousin of the crown prince. When Yaozu comes home, I will ask him to beg the crown prince and become his personal bodyguard in the future. I heard that the emperor is not satisfied with his sons, so he brought the crown prince back. There are rumors in Shengjing that the crown prince may ascend to the throne directly in the future, and my Yaozu will have the merit of following the emperor. Then I..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhao scolded.

He looked around to see if there was anyone, then ran to the door and scanned, pointed at Liu Yue'e's forehead and scolded, "Do you have a pig brain? You are not the one who has been showing off for a few days in Shengjing, right? Can you discuss the next emperor? If someone with ulterior motives finds out, they will accuse you of treason. Can you stop talking nonsense except for eating? If your mother-in-law hears this, she will send you to Qinghe Bay sooner or later."

Liu Yue'e stuck out her tongue in fear.

Oh no, I spit out my mouth.

"Mom, I know my limits. I won't say anything once we leave this door."

She doesn't want to go back to Qinghe Bay.

It’s so comfortable in Shengjing.

While Zhao was teaching Liu Yue'e a lesson at home, Tong Huaqiong had already walked through two streets in Shengjing.

Shengjing is indeed the most prosperous city of this era.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, covering all kinds of industries, including restaurants, tea houses, medicine shops, gold and silver shops, bookstores, and brothels.

The whole city was shrouded in noise.

Tong Huaqiong learned from Shopkeeper He that there was no curfew in Shengjing and many shops would be open all night.

Jufulai is located on the most prosperous Dongshi Street.

Tong Huaqiong came to Jufulai and inspected it and was extremely satisfied.

Otherwise, how can we say that Shengjing is wealthy? Jufulai is packed with people.

According to the business plan that Tong Huaqiong gave to Lu Zhaozhao for her rouge and powder shop in the city, Gu Taohua set up the second floor of Jufulai as a VIP area.

VIP users only need to register the items they want to buy, and the staff will deliver the items to any part of the city.

Tong Huaqiong thought, isn’t this just some ancient troupe?

In order to promote cotton cloth and expand their own textile business.

Jufulai has set aside four rows of shelves to store various cotton fabrics.

Many ordinary people in Shengjing gathered around the cotton cloth to choose from.

On the way from home to the shop, Tong Huaqiong paid special attention to the clothes of the people on the street. Many of them were wearing cotton cloth, and Tong Huaqiong knew at a glance that it was produced by her own weaving workshop.

In addition to Jufulai, there is also Taohua Dessert, which has opened four stores in just a few months.

Shengjing is the capital after all, and the people here have eaten and seen it all, so they are more picky about pastries.

Taohua Desserts has worked hard to conquer the stomachs of Shengjing people. Before Taohua came to Shengjing, Tong Huaqiong gave all her best recipes to Gu Taohua, and even the pastry chef was brought from Taohua Desserts in the capital.

"Isn't it just a pastry chef? Our Prince Yu's Mansion wants him, why are you still making excuses? Our princess is giving you a favor by liking your Peach Blossom Dessert's pastry chef. I must take him away today."

Tong Huaqiong was very satisfied after inspecting Taohua Dessert. When she was about to leave after checking the accounts on the second floor, she heard a domineering voice coming from downstairs.

Prince Yu's Mansion.

Tong Huaqiong's heart moved. In Tong Dajiao's memory of her previous life, the one who captured Gu Jingzhe from the list of son-in-law in the previous life was Princess Mingyue from Prince Yu's Mansion.

She said in the morning that she wanted to meet the princess, and now she meets her?

Tong Huaqiong stood on the steps and looked down.

A pretty maid dressed in gorgeous clothes was standing with her hands on her hips and cursing.

"Alas, we can't afford to offend Prince Yu's Mansion."

Manager Tang, who was reporting the business situation to Tong Huaqiong, shook his head, then hurried away, smiling apologetically at the maid.

"Miss, it is an honor for us at Taohua Desserts that the princess appreciates Master Liu's craftsmanship. Master Liu is a rather clumsy person, and I'm afraid she won't be able to serve the princess well. Let her stay at Taohua Desserts, and when the princess wants to eat pastries, send someone to let her know, and we'll send someone to deliver them to the princess when they're ready."

The maid looked at Shopkeeper Tang coldly and said, "Since you know it's an honor, why don't you let him go? Ask everyone in Shengjing, who doesn't want to work in Prince Yu's Mansion? But you, Peach Blossom Desserts, have to put on airs. Aren't you just a pastry chef? Why did you ask our princess to visit you three times? Don't you even consider whether you are worthy?" The maid became more and more arrogant.

The maid waved outside, and a group of guards appeared at the door of Peach Blossom Dessert.

The frightened customers scattered in all directions.

Tong Huaqiong narrowed her eyes and looked downstairs.

From the maid's scolding, I roughly understood why Taohua Dessert had come into conflict with Prince Yu's Mansion.

Taohua Dessert has a chef named Liu, who is the first female apprentice of chef Qiao from Fucheng. She is good at making desserts, especially cream-filled snails.

This year, Shengjing Peach Blossom Dessert needed a pastry chef, so Ningcheng Peach Blossom Dessert sent Master Liu.

Princess Mingyue loves to eat snails stuffed with cream.

After tasting the cream-filled snails at Peach Blossom Dessert, she was so astonished that she wanted to bring Master Liu to Prince Yu's Mansion to make desserts especially for her.

Master Liu was unwilling, and Princess Mingyue became angry and came with her maid to snatch the man away.

"Since the princess herself couldn't invite Master Liu, then don't blame the princess for being rude. It seems that Master Liu doesn't like literary people, but martial arts." The maid raised her chin and looked at Manager Tang.

She was very angry and made such a big fuss, but Master Liu just stayed inside and refused to come out.

Isn't she just a country girl who can make pastries?

What is there to be proud of? He even dares to offend the princess.

Then don't blame her for being rude.
