Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 154 Cool

Mrs. Lin felt stagnant and felt very uncomfortable. This child was always so polite and considerate. How could she speak?It's said to be a cooperation, but Meizhuang is not short of money, so why do we need to find someone to cooperate with us in opening a branch?So what is King Rui's concubine thinking, so others can't see it?Isn't it because the Yin Zhiruo siblings are easy to bully, and they want to gradually turn the Yin family's recipes into those of her natal family, and those of her unsatisfactory brothers and nephews, under the guise of cooperation?

But knowing is one thing, so what?Prince Rui cannot be offended!Prince Rui is the youngest brother of the late emperor and the uncle of the current emperor.Although he is only two or three years older than the emperor, regardless of his seniority, the emperor is always polite.What's more, the Zhao family of Concubine Zhao's natal family only said that they wanted to cooperate with Meizhuang to do business. They didn't steal or rob or make trouble with anyone. Even if Prince Jing protected the Yin family siblings, they had nothing to say, right?

Mrs. Lin was extremely conflicted. Although her husband-in-law sighed and acquiesced to her being the peacemaker, she still felt that it was against her will and that she was an accomplice.

However, if this accomplice does not do it, her husband's official career, her children's future, and their marriage will all be hindered by various obstacles in the future. Concubine Zhao is definitely a vengeful person, and Prince Rui loves Concubine Zhao more than Rui. Who in the capital doesn’t know about the princess?
After struggling for a while, Mrs. Lin, who was not even in the mood to feel the taste of the red bean rolls in her mouth, smiled hard: "It's really delicious, and the snacks are all high-quality. Ruo girl, you don't know, there are many people in the capital I'm all looking forward to you opening a branch in the capital with some dim sum. There are many noble people in the capital, so it will definitely be popular by then. To tell you the truth, I came here today just to tell you the good news. The natal family of Concubine Zhao of Prince Rui intends to cooperate with you to open a store. As for the Dim Sum branch, you can make it five to five, but as long as you provide the recipe, you don’t have to worry about anything else. They will take care of it. You, just wait for the Zhao family to send you money every year, ha. Ha ha."

Sure enough, it came, but fortunately Uncle Tie was a step ahead!Zhiruo was secretly happy, but also a little...disappointed.Although Tie Muyuan said that Magistrate Lin paid special attention to their siblings because of the kindness of her grandfather, General Wang of Qi, she also knew that Magistrate Lin had a relationship with Prince Jing because of this relationship, and Tie Muyuan also helped He did a few favors, both big and small, and "Shun Zui" helped him get some connections. Magistrate Lin benefited a lot from the bandit robbery on New Year's Eve last year.It can be said that in the human relations between the Lin family and Meizhuang, the Lin family has definitely gained more than they have paid, and they have gained all their face.

However, even so, when faced with a conflict of interest, they still chose to sacrifice the interests of their siblings so easily.Regardless of my grandfather's kindness and our friendship for more than half a year, can a mere concubine of Prince Rui's palace not be able to withstand it?

Just when Mrs. Lin began to feel anxious and secretly making fists nervously, Zhiruo, who had lowered his head and wiped his mouth, raised his head with an apologetic look on his face: "What should I do? Seven or eight days ago, when Uncle Tie returned to Beijing, After passing Meizhuang, we have already negotiated cooperation matters. Auntie Tie and Princess Jing will cooperate with me to open a branch. The conditions and shares have been agreed upon. By the way, Mrs. Lin, didn't you just come back from Beijing? One o'clock Haven’t heard of it? Uncle Tie said that he asked Auntie Tie and the others to start preparations when he returned to the capital, and he also said that the store has been planned for a long time. "

Mrs. Lin was stunned on the spot. The mother-in-law standing behind her touched her secretly before she came back to her senses: "Is this... such a coincidence? No... I mean, I have been back for three days. I must have just missed it." There are still three days on the road, that is to say, she happened to leave a day or two before and after Tie Muyuan arrived in the capital.

No matter what, Mrs. Lin thought of something after feeling dizzy for a while, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Prince Jing's Mansion and Tie Mu were the first to get there, so Concubine Zhao and the Zhao family couldn't blame her, right?If you have the ability, let Prince Rui go to Prince Jing to ask for some money.

Zhi Ruoxiao said innocently: "Well, that should be it. I think Concubine Zhao must have known about it by now. Uncle Tie said that the shop should be renovated first, with the same layout and decoration as our shop in Luo City. "

Mrs. Lin's smile also became obviously relaxed: "That's good, you have the iron escort to worry about, so you can relax." She knew that none of the Yin Zhiruo siblings wanted to return to the capital, how sad!
"Isn't that true?" Zhiruo said with a smile, "Uncle Tie is truly very affectionate to us siblings. My parents are alive in heaven, so they must be very grateful."

It was a very normal and ordinary sentence. Zhiruo had never said similar words before. However, for some reason, Mrs. Lin sounded a little strange now. She always felt that there was something wrong in her words, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

After leaving with a box of new red bean rolls and other pastries, until the carriage left Meizhuang, Mrs. Lin still felt uneasy and asked the mother-in-law beside her: "Yucui, do you think Miss Yin knows something? You Are there any differences in her words and expressions today?"

Yucui shook her head and replied: "Madam is too nervous, so she is thinking wildly. I see that Miss Yin has always been like this. She is also respectful, polite, and considerate to Madam."

Mrs. Lin paused, and Zhiruo's innocent and sincere face flashed in front of her eyes. She nodded and sighed: "Yes, I thought too much. Is this a guilty conscience? But, even if I don't become this lobbyist, there will be others. , Prince Rui values ​​Concubine Zhao so much, how can he disobey her? Besides, if Concubine Zhao gets her wish, the Yin family will only lose some money. Anyway, Miss Yin’s rich dowry is enough for their sister. My brothers have been spending their whole lives, and they don’t care about the way to make money with less snacks, not to mention what will happen to the shops in Luozhou if they want to come to the Zhao family. And if we offend Prince Rui’s Mansion, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Yucui was Mrs. Lin's dowry maid, and now she was the housekeeper who was always waiting on her. She knew Mrs. Lin very well: "Isn't that it? Madam, you just think too much. From what I can see, Miss Yin is very happy to have someone." Cooperate with her to open a branch. After all, a girl’s family is not short of money and does not have such big ambitions. But it’s better now. Prince Jing and Tie Biaotou have taken the lead. You don’t have to feel guilty for helping the Zhao family, and you are in trouble. It's better to sell it to Concubine Zhao. Haha, I think Miss Yin is your lucky star, Master and Madam. As long as it gets involved in Miss Yin's affairs, it will be beneficial to you."

Mrs. Lin was startled, and nodded in agreement: "That's true. I'll tell the master later. I'd better help Meizhuang as much as I can. Alas, those children are pitiful."
