The Emperor Cheng saw his son leading Sweet Treasure by the hand out of the hall, and he was so angry he almost jumped up…
This dull son, why aren’t you as close to me as before?
You’re leaving just because I told you to!
“Wait…” Emperor Cheng rushed forward and blocked the two little buns, “How is your elder sister?”
That girl, always running around outside, and she had to fall for the fourth son of the Yun family.
Xiao Jinheng smiled, “Father, didn’t you see Elder Sister at the Yun residence that day? She’s doing very well…”
Every day she’s either arguing with Princess Han or bothering Uncle Yun, she’s practically trying to poke a hole in the sky.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Cheng looked out of the hall and said, “When you get back, tell her and Fourth Master Yun to come to the palace. I have a few words to say to them…”
He knew the saying about it being better to demolish ten temples than to break up a marriage. Yun Si Man had endured all sorts of trials, and the matter with Xin Ling had dragged on for so long, it was time to give them an explanation.
“Understood, Father!~” Xiao Jinheng nodded.
Emperor Cheng gave a few more instructions before letting the two little buns leave the palace…
Afterward, he summoned Gu Mingyan and Gu Zhenshan to arrange the next steps.
Meanwhile, in Heyang County.
“San Man, this plaque is hanging crooked, move it up a bit!”
Yun Da Man stood at the entrance of a shop, his face blooming like a flower…
Shangguan Fang’er changed into a simple dress and busied herself in the shop, like a diligent young wife.
Today was the grand opening of the Yun’s Silk Shop, and there were naturally many people who came to offer their congratulations.
Before, when Yun San Man was a live-in son-in-law for the Gao family, he managed a shop like this. Back then, the plaque bore the Gao family’s name, but now he had his own shop…
Zhao Guihua and Du Tieshan also came to help, sweeping the floor and wiping tables. Yun Er Man directly brought over packed meals from Yun Gui Fang, planning to have a few drinks with his elder brother and third brother later.
Yun San Man wiped the dust off the plaque with a rag and climbed down the ladder…
“How is it? Does it look the part?” Yun San Man asked with a smile.
Yun Er Man was so happy he couldn’t close his mouth, “It looks perfect! Third brother, I think this silk shop is even more upscale than the Gao family’s. Plus, it’s right next to our Yun Gui Fang, so we can look out for each other if anything comes up. It’s great…”
The only regret was that their parents and sister couldn’t make it back.
Now that spring had arrived, the village had started planting crops. Their father should be back soon!
The dairy cows at home were being looked after by Uncle Sun, so they weren’t worried. Every few days, Da Man and Er Man would buy some concentrated feed to send back. If they let the dairy cows get too thin, their father would beat them to death when he returned…
“Miss Fang’er, you should rest for a bit. This isn’t work you should be doing!”
Zhao Guihua saw Shangguan Fang’er busy and sweating, so she stepped forward to advise her.
Even though she was a princess of a fallen kingdom, she had never done housework before. If she got too tired, San Man would surely blame her…
Shangguan Fang’er smiled upon hearing this and said, “Sister-in-law, I’m not that delicate. If I can’t even do these chores properly, wouldn’t that make me useless?”
She wasn’t one to hold grudges. Although Zhao Guihua had treated Qing’er badly before, as long as they weren’t put together, her sister-in-law was quite normal…
Du Tieshan threw the rag into the basin and washed it, then suddenly remembered something, “Sister-in-law, did they receive the letter we sent to Father and Mother a few days ago?”
The village had started planting crops, and Da Man wanted to ask his parents when they would return, so he asked Guihua to write a letter to the capital.
Zhao Guihua wiped her sweat and murmured, “By the time it should have arrived, but why haven’t Father and Mother replied?”
“Perhaps they are tied up with something and can’t get away…” Shangguan Fang’er guessed.
Just then, a burst of scolding suddenly came from outside the shop.
Hearing this, the women quickly dropped their rags and ran out.
They saw Yun San Man being held tightly by a woman, her shrill scolding echoing throughout the street, attracting the attention of many passersby…
The one who had arrived was none other than Yun San Man’s ex-wife, Gao Fengjuan.
She was also passing by this street by chance today and saw San Man opening a silk shop. Gao Fengjuan was instantly enraged.
“Yun Lao San, you ungrateful wretch, are you even human?”
Gao Fengjuan grabbed Yun San Man by the collar and cursed, “If our Gao family hadn’t taken you in back then, you would have been farming and suffering for your entire life. You think you can open a silk shop? You can’t even open a fart! You unfaithful dog, finding a vixen outside and even taking my son away, you’re worse than a dog…”
“Let go, what are you doing? Let go quickly!~” Yun San Man frowned, wishing he could slap her twice.
On this auspicious day of opening, he had to encounter this annoying pest.
Yun San Man felt he had made himself clear to her before. He had left with nothing, but Jingde had to come with him…
Gao Mantang had also agreed at the time. Why was Gao Fengjuan still causing trouble?
“Yun Lao San, I’m telling you, as long as I’m here, don’t even think about opening this shop!~”
Gao Fengjuan released Yun San Man, glanced at Shangguan Fang’er, and sneered, “Hmph, you little vixen, no wonder that dog man fell for you. Young, beautiful, elegant, and so delicate-looking, what man wouldn’t like you? Don’t worry, Yun Lao San is inherently fickle. Once he’s tired of you, he’ll kick you to the curb. Think about it, with a broken body like yours, who would marry you?”
Having said that, Gao Fengjuan crossed her arms and continued, “If I were you, I would have packed my bags and left long ago. Why are you lingering here with him? So young and shameless…”
Everyone: “……”
If you have such self-respect, why are you still pestering Yun San Man?
Du Tieshan saw this and stepped forward, about to argue with Gao Fengjuan.
This woman was clearly asking for a beating. She dared to come here and make a scene, disrupting the business of Yun’s Silk Shop. She was clearly doing it on purpose…
Da Man, Er Man, and Zhao Guihua were also furious and were about to beat Gao Fengjuan, when Shangguan Fang’er suddenly stepped forward and stopped everyone, “Don’t be impulsive, I’ll handle it!~”
Since she had decided on Yun San Man and was determined to live her life with him, she had to deal with these messy affairs so they wouldn’t be a bother in the future…
“What, you little vixen stole my man, and you think you’re in the right?” Gao Fengjuan’s nostrils flared.
Shangguan Fang’er’s expression changed slightly. She stepped down the stairs and walked in front of Gao Fengjuan, “Watch your words. Since you’re divorced from San Man, don’t try to sow discord and mess with our relationship…”
“Bah, I won’t. It was clearly you who seduced… Ah!~”
“Slap, slap!”
Before Gao Fengjuan could finish speaking, Shangguan Fang’er raised her fair hand and slapped her twice.
