It was the first time Si Muran had seen so much money. She was extremely excited. She had already started fantasizing about bringing this huge sum of money to a small town with beautiful mountains and clear waters, buying a house, opening a tea shop, and transmigrating to a wonderful life!
After the joy, there was helplessness. How could she bring these three big boxes away?
Even if he could move away the silver, just these three big chests were enough to attract attention. If he met someone with ill intentions and killed him with a knife, it was really not worth it!
Si Muran blinked her eyes and smiled ingratiatingly."Can you exchange all these for silver notes?”
Pei Chenshuo shook his head without hesitation." No."”
Si Muran sighed helplessly. She put away the disappointment in her heart and buried her head in her fate as she continued to draw the blueprint…
It was only when the sky turned dark that Si Muran finished drawing.
Pei Chenshuo took the blueprint that Si Muran handed over and looked at it carefully. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Although the structure of the saddle and stirrers was not very complicated, some of the knowledge used was very strange. Even he had never heard of this strange knowledge. How did the woman in front of him know?
Si Muran stretched and looked at Pei Chenshuo beside her.""I'm hungry! Seeing that I'm so hardworking and focused on my work, can we eat now?”
Pei Chenshuo tucked the blueprints into his sleeves and looked at Si Muran.""Let's go."
Si Muran nodded happily and followed Pei Chenshuo to the dining room.
However, Si Muran was dumbfounded when she arrived at the entrance of the dining room. She saw a few luxuriously dressed beauties sitting neatly in the dining room. They were all looking at her with ill intentions.
Si Muran felt goosebumps all over her body as she was stared at by a few pairs of malicious eyes.
Pei Chenshuo did not seem to notice the discordant atmosphere between them. After taking his seat, he patted the seat beside him and looked at Si Muran, who was still standing at the door."Come and sit."
Si Muran smiled stiffly when she saw the women's cold gazes. In order to distance herself from him, she found a chair furthest away from him and sat down."It's okay. I'll just sit here."
However, when everyone was eating together, how could Pei Chenshuo accommodate Si Muran? He said with a deep gaze,""Sit here, or get back in the house!”
Seeing Pei Chenshuo's serious expression, Si Muran was stunned.
Pei Chenshuo's concubine, Su Rong, glanced at Si Muran and said sarcastically,""His highness called you over because he dotes on you. Why are you still being so pretentious here!”
Si Muran was speechless. She had avoided Pei Chenshuo so that she would not cause herself any trouble. Why did it sound like she was being spoiled?
Knowing that she would be misunderstood by these jealous women no matter what she did, Si Muran could not be bothered with what they were thinking. She walked over to Pei Chenshuo and sat down. She glared at him with dissatisfaction and turned her anger into appetite to eat.
Due to Si Muran's appearance, the meal was unusually depressing. Other than the sound of chopsticks clashing and food being chewed, no one took the initiative to speak.
Si Muran, who had her head buried in her meal, noticed the vicious gazes of the women around her from time to time. She felt restless and kept digging at the food in her bowl. She just wanted to leave as soon as she was done eating.
"Don't you eat vegetables when you eat?" A voice with a hint of a smile came from Si Muran's side.
Si Muran swallowed the white rice in her mouth with much difficulty. She turned to look at Pei Chenshuo, only to see him placing a large piece of braised pork ribs into her bowl.
"You're too skinny. You have to eat more meat.”
Hearing his gentle tone and feeling the cold gazes around her, Si Muran knew that Pei Chenshuo was doing this on purpose!
Si Muran was wondering if she should use the urine to escape when she heard an old voice coming from outside the dining room." Fourth Prince, Sixth Prince is here to look for you."”
"Take him to the study first. I'll be there soon.”
"Yes, sir!" The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away. Pei Chenshuo got up and tidied his clothes. He looked at Si Muran and said,""Wait for me here after dinner. I'll be back soon.”
When Su Rong saw this scene, she clenched the corner of her clothes in jealousy. She had been married to Pei Chenshuo since she was 16 years old. They had been together for five years, but she had never seen him pick up food for her. Even if he left for something, he had never told her. She had always thought that Pei Chenshuo's personality was like this, so she had never thought too much about it.
But how did this woman get everything she wanted so easily today?
Although she was so jealous that she wanted to swallow Si Muran alive, Su Rong still had a gentle smile on her face. She looked at Pei Chenshuo and said,""Master, don't worry. I'll take care of my sister.”
"Yes." Pei Chenshuo replied lightly and left the dining room.
When she saw Pei Chenshuo leave, Si Muran stuffed the food in her bowl into her mouth and stood up. She mumbled,"I'm full. Please enjoy your meal. I'll go back to my room first.”
"Wait! Our secondary consort hasn't even left the table, who do you think you are to dare leave first?”One of Pei Chenshuo's concubines glared at Si Muran and said unkindly.
Seeing that she was using etiquette as an excuse to prevent her from leaving, Si Muran knew that she could forget about leaving before she settled these women.
Su Rong looked at Si Muran, who had her eyes lowered and remained silent. She suddenly raised her eyebrows and asked,""Is your father an official in the court?"
Si Muran absolutely didn't want to have anything to do with her cold and heartless father. She shook her head and said,""My parents died young and I have no relatives.”
Hearing this, the ridicule on Su Rong's face became even stronger. She sneered and said,"A poor country girl without parents, no power, no looks, do you think she has the qualifications to climb up to our wangye?”
Status and social status were things that Si Muran hated the most. Besides, if that guy hadn't forced her to stay, would she still be looking for trouble here?
Upon hearing this, Si Muran frowned slightly and looked at Su Rong.""A few generations ago, weren't your ancestors also farmers? No one was born nobler than others!”
This was the first time Su Rong had heard such a strange remark. She was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was contradicting her. She flew into a rage and picked up the ginseng soup in front of her and splashed it all over Si Muran's body.
Looking at her disheveled appearance, he raised his voice and sneered,"Today, I'll teach you what it means to be noble and humble! I'm the daughter of the current prime minister! If I splash ginseng soup on you today, what can you do?”
"Sister, you did well. This kind of country girl should be taught a lesson! Otherwise, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" The few concubines echoed and sneered smugly.
The mockery and sarcasm in her ears rose and fell. Si Muran lowered her head and looked at the ginseng soup dripping from the ends of her hair onto her clothes. Her eyes were filled with coldness.
He suddenly stood up and took advantage of Su Rong's surprise. He picked up the braised bass on the table and unceremoniously put it on Su Rong's head. He sneered and said,"It's precisely because I have no power, no power, and no ties that I'm not afraid of an idiotic young lady like you! What can you do to me?"
Sticky soup slid down Su Rong's hair and dripped onto her luxurious brocade robe, making the elegant image she had disguised before disappear.
Su Rong didn't expect this wild girl to actually dare to attack her. She was so angry that her entire body trembled. She shrieked and began to gather the servants in the house.
Si Muran knew that something was wrong. She flipped the table over and ran out in the chaos.
As Si Muran had deliberately memorized the way when she entered the mansion, it was not that difficult for her to escape. Before the guards of the mansion arrived, she climbed a tree and climbed over the wall of the mansion.
The Sixth Prince, Pei Chenmo, loved to play with some strange gadgets. He was proficient in all kinds of skills, such as miscellaneous arts, painting, and mechanisms. Pei Chenshuo had asked him to come over today mainly to verify the authenticity of Si Muran's drawing.
At this moment, Pei Chenmo had just confirmed that the blueprint was real when he heard a commotion outside the study. He frowned slightly and went out of the study to see the servants running back and forth outside the courtyard.
Pei Chenshuo frowned and strode into the dining room. Sure enough, he saw the mess inside. His concubine had lost her usual virtuous appearance and was cursing Si Muran angrily.
Pei Chenshuo looked at Su Rong and said sternly,""What happened?"
When she heard Pei Chenshuo's voice, Su Rong, who was still angry, immediately returned to her cute and helpless appearance. She looked at Pei Chenshuo with tears in her eyes and sobbed,""Wangye, you're finally here. You have to give me a reason! I was just persuading my sister to wait for you here and not run around. Who knew that she would vent her anger? Not only did she put the food on my head, but she also flipped the table and ran away…"
"Enough! Si Muran is my important guest.”
Looking at Pei Chenshuo's gloomy face, Su Rong shuddered. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain, but Pei Chenshuo interrupted her mercilessly.
"Send the secondary consort to the Scripture Pavilion to copy the Tao Te Ching a hundred times.”After saying that, he looked at the few concubines standing around and said in a deep voice,"And you guys! Go back to your rooms and reflect on your mistakes!"
As for the little woman escaping, Pei Chenshuo was not too worried. He had already arranged for the guards to keep an eye on her. Si Muran would not be able to escape from his grasp no matter what!
On the other side, Si Muran, who had escaped from the Imperial Residence, looked at the lanterns hanging all over the street and remembered that it was the Lantern Festival today.
Si Muran couldn't help but smile bitterly when she thought about how her family had celebrated the Lantern Festival before she transmigrated and how they had bought lanterns together to watch the lanterns.
The Lantern Festival was originally a day of reunion, and who could she reunite with when she was in a foreign land and had no one to rely on?
"Isn't this Miss Si? He didn't expect to meet her here. What a coincidence!”
Suddenly, a gentle and pleasant voice was heard. Si Muran turned around and saw that it was Jin Lin, whom she had met during the day.
Si Muran naturally didn't have a good impression of the man who had caused her to be sent to the garment workshop and now ended up in such a sorry state. She frowned and glared at him, then pretended to turn a blind eye and walked away.
Jin Lin walked up to Si Muran with a warm smile on his lips. He asked,""Miss Si, it's so late. Why are you here alone?”
Si Muran stopped in her tracks. She looked at the man in front of her and said angrily,""It's all because of you that boring people came to find trouble. I was chased into the dyeing workshop to suffer, and now I can't go home!”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 24PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
