Ye Wujue didn't know what to say when he saw Bai Liuyue. "Greetings, Princess Consort." Lan Qingshui said first.”
"Greetings to the Princess Consort."
There were a total of two greetings to the princess consort, but the first one was very normal. The second one stunned everyone.
Lan Qingshui turned around in disbelief. He looked at Ye Wujue, who was greeting Bai Liuyue in confusion. He wished he could strangle him to death.
Bai Liuyue was also stunned. She coughed a few times and said,""Wangye, why do you still remember the game from two days ago? If outsiders heard this, they would think that I bullied wangye.”
Seeing Bai Liuyue helping him out, Ye Wujue returned to normal. He looked at her with a charming smile and said playfully,""Didn't you bully me?"
"Your Highness must be joking." Bai Liuyue pondered.
"Where is the princess going?" Ye Wujue asked softly.
"I have something to do." With that, Bai Liuyue left.
Lan Qingshui looked suspiciously at Bai Liuyue, who was leaving, and then at Ye Wujue. Finally, he voiced out the doubt in his heart."Why do I feel like the two of you are strangers?”
"En, that is indeed the case. His highness and wangfei are really too unfamiliar.”Another man said. When Ye Wujue heard this, he felt terrible.
Unfamiliar? He didn't want to! However, he had just said some nonsense the day before yesterday, and it was very awkward. Also, he and Bai Liuyue were indeed strangers. She was only his princess consort in name.
"Your Highness, are you still protecting yourself for Miss Nangong?”Just as Ye Wujue was feeling depressed, another man spoke.
Lan Qingshui's expression changed instantly.
"Wangye, is Shaoqing's words true?”
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you have the mood to guess about this king's matters, why don't you think about what to prepare for the Crown Prince's birthday the day after tomorrow?”With that, Ye Wujue left.
However, his attitude made Lan Qingshui feel guilty. When he thought about how Ye Wujue was still protecting Nangong Die, he wanted to strangle Ye Wujue to death.
Why did he choose such a master?
He came to Bai Ling's courtyard again. This time, Bai Ling's expression was much better. Bai Ling was surprised to see Bai Liuyue. However, she still hurriedly opened the door for Bai Liuyue.
"Master." Bai Ling knelt down respectfully.
"There's no need for so much etiquette between us. I've never cared about etiquette like kneeling. Compared to this, you look much better. It seems that the medicine I concocted is quite effective.”Bai Liuyue looked at Bai Ling with satisfaction.
"Yes, Master." Bai Ling replied respectfully.”
"I will settle the matter of the Heartbreak Grass. In comparison, Bai Ling, help me keep an eye out for any shops in the capital for sale.”
"Master is opening a shop?"
"En, when I got married, I asked Prime Minister Bai for a sum of silver. This amount of silver is useless in my hands, so I might as well open a shop.”
"I will keep an eye out for Master." Bai Ling said respectfully.
"That's good. I came here today to see if the medicine can be used. It seems that there's no problem, so I'll go back first. Take good care of your body and don't do anything stupid to disappoint me.”Bai Liuyue looked at Bai Ling indifferently.
Bai Ling nodded and sent Bai Liuyue away.
Although Bai Liuyue didn't stay for long, he was still very touched. In the past, when he was in the organization, he had never received any concern from the higher-ups. To them, assassins were just tools. If the tools were broken, they could still make new ones. Therefore, in the end, they even did such a thing!
Thinking of the past, Bai Ling's calm eyes turned cold. Bai Ling was a handsome man who was more of a hardcore type of man. Now that he looked like this, he felt even more alienated.
After leaving Bai Ling's place, Bai Liuyue began to stroll along the ancient streets. The main street of the capital was called Changhua Street, and it was the largest trading circle in the capital.
Tall buildings stood everywhere, and every inch of land was worth an inch of gold. It was extremely difficult to open a shop here. Most of the shops here were monopolized by the big families. There was no place for small shops to develop. Occasionally, there were a few ancestral homes.
After walking around, Bai Liuyue finally stopped at a medicine shop. This medicine shop had a bad brand, and it could be said to be unique on this street.
Bai Liuyue walked into the room, hoping to take a look around and see if there were any herbs she wanted.
However, as soon as she stepped in, a few pairs of eyes glared at her fiercely.
Bai Liuyue blinked. She looked at the five burly men and felt that the atmosphere was not too good. He looked at the counter and saw a scholar in his twenties. He was wearing a shabby green robe and was thin. His eyes were slightly protruding and he had a hooked nose. When he saw Bai Liuyue, he hurriedly ran out."Miss, we're not doing business here.”
"Hmm? The door was clearly open. Why wasn't he doing business?”Bai Liuyue looked at the shop owner, then at the burly men, and forced a faint smile.
"Say it. If you say you won't do it, then you won't do it. Hurry up and leave!”
The scholarly-looking man suddenly pushed Bai Liuyue out of the room. However, before he could push her out, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Among the five burly men on the other side, one of them had already lifted him up with a stick.
"Hey, Boss Zhang, how can you push the guests away in such a hurry?" We're doing business here. Don't you want to do business by pushing customers out?”
"Brother, Brother Long, you, you know that there's nothing left in our shop.”The scholar called Boss Zhang wanted to cry but had no tears.
Seeing him like this, the burly man laughed and threw him on the ground."How about this? You can pay off my debt with this shop. Boss Zhang?"
When Boss Zhang heard this, his already bulging eyes widened even more. He hurriedly crawled over and said,"No, no, only this won't do. This is our Zhang family's ancestral home. We can't sell it! Brother Long, what do you think? This year's exam is coming up soon. I, I will definitely be able to enter high school, so can you make an exception?”
When the burly man heard this, he kicked Boss Zhang's chin and flipped him over. Then, he cursed angrily,"High school? Are you f * cking kidding me? Cut the crap! Either pay up or hand over the shop today!”
"Brother Long, why don't you kill me?" When Boss Zhang heard that he had to hand over the shop, he was in despair. He looked at the burly man hatefully, hating himself for being useless.
All these years, in order to study, he had not cared enough about the shop. The medicine shop that was originally doing well was now unable to make ends meet. Because of this, he was already in debt. However, when the house was leaking, it would rain overnight. Two years ago, Brother Long appeared here and collected protection fees everywhere. He owed protection fees for two years. During this period, Brother Long had stolen countless expensive medicinal herbs.
Now, this shop was already in a precarious situation. The only valuable thing was the land. But now, these bandits actually wanted to snatch his land!
Thinking of this, Boss Zhang was furious.
"What are you guys doing? A debt?" Just as Boss Zhang was in despair, Bai Liuyue finally understood what was going on. Thus, he had a plan in mind. It seemed that the owner of this shop was unable to run this place. In that case, it would be better to help him get through this hurdle and then buy his shop.
