Chapter 363 Wei Family
The Mu mother and daughter knelt on the ground, shaking like sieves.
"My Lady Princess, that's not what I meant."
"What does that mean?" Princess Ding snorted coldly, "You are just slandering Ruoyi in front of me and want to marry your daughter to the Ding Palace, right?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Mu said nothing more.
"Take your tactless daughter away! I feel sick if I look at her any more." Princess Ding said angrily, "Someone, send her away!"
Shang Ruoyi didn't expect that Qin, who had always been weak, would have such a domineering side.
Qin held Shang Ruoyi's hand and said softly, "My dear child, I am also your mother. I also have a daughter. Although I am not your biological mother, since you have married into our Dingguo Palace, you are my child. Moreover, you have saved us from danger several times. You are the benefactor of the entire Dingguo Palace. If anyone is against you, we, the Dingguo Palace, will be against him! Don't worry, your mother will take care of everything."
Shang Ruoyi felt warm in her heart when she heard this.
In her past and present lives, she had never known what it felt like to be protected by her mother.
"Thank you, concubine."
Just then, He Yunyi walked in: "Mother."
"Where have you been?" Qin saw her in a hurry and scolded her, "Look, look, I haven't seen you at all these few days. Your grandmother asks about you every day."
He Yunyi looked at Shang Ruoyi and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I found it!"
Shang Ruoyi's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Qin stood aside, her eyes moving between the two of them: "What kind of riddle is this?"
"It's not a big deal. I've been free these past few days so I went out for tea with a few of my former acquaintances and took a look at what's new in the capital these days."
"What's new?"
He Yunyi's eyes fell on Shang Ruoyi, and she smiled awkwardly: "What they talked about the most was nothing more than the Shang family's affairs."
Princess Ding rolled her eyes at her and said coldly, "Don't these people in the capital have anything new to say? What's the point of gossiping about others all day long?"
Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Mother, isn't this what the people like to talk about after dinner? Why get angry?"
"Mother is not angry, she just feels that you have been wronged."
"The Shang family's affairs are not my business. No matter how they talk about it, I will never take it to heart."
Qin patted her and looked at He Yunyi again: "Go on."
He Yunyi saw the bracelet on Qin's wrist and shook the bracelet on her wrist: "Mother, look, my sister-in-law also gave me one." But the one on her wrist was a string of white oriental pearls: "I think mother's bracelet seems more beautiful."
Qin quickly put the bracelet away and said, "My mother only has this one. If you like it, feel free to ask your sister-in-law for it."
"Mother is so stingy." He Yunyi walked to Shang Ruoyi and put her arm around her: "Sister-in-law treats me the best."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and took out a string of purple oriental pearl bracelets from her sleeve pocket: "I have prepared it for you a long time ago." She took out a string of golden beads and handed it to Qin: "Mother, this is yours."
When Qin saw the golden pearl necklace she gave to the old princess that day, she was very envious, but she was too embarrassed to ask for it. So when she got the bracelet today, she quickly put it on.
"Sister-in-law, where did you get so many Dongzhu?" He Yunyi knew that her sister-in-law had great magical powers, but there were so many Dongzhu, and each of them was of the best quality, that she was so scared that she had to tidy up her sleeves from time to time when she went out today, for fear that her Dongzhu would be seen and stolen by others.
"The hermit has his own ingenious plan." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Of course I can't reveal it casually."
"You haven't told me yet. What exactly did you do today? And what did you find?"
"It's not a big deal." Shang Ruoyi smiled: "I just asked Yunyi to help me keep an eye on the shop when I go out."
"Shop?" Qin said hurriedly, "We have hundreds of shops in Dingguo Palace. You can take any one you like. Why go out and buy something else?"
"I have some use for this shop, and it's not worth much money anyway." Shang Ruoyi looked at He Yunyi: "Where is the shop?"
"Sister-in-law, if you have time, I'll take you to see it now."
Without waiting for Shang Ruoyi to answer, He Yunyi dragged her away. Qin watched them leave with a helpless look on her face. Ever since Ruoyi came in, this huge mansion has become much more lively. Even her daughter, who used to be dull and didn't like to see people, has become so bright. Ruoyi is truly the lucky star of their Dingguo Palace!
"Someone is coming."
"Miss."
"Find the deeds to the largest and best shops under our palace's name and send them to the Crown Princess so she can choose carefully."
"Yes."
Shang Ruoyi and He Yunyi came to a house.
"Sister-in-law, this is it." He Yunyi said with a smile: "How is it here?"
Shang Ruoyi looked at the location of the house and felt vaguely familiar with it.
"This was originally the residence of a wealthy family, but the family fell into decline and there is no one to take over. Now there is only the housekeeper left here."
Shang Ruoyi stood at the door, and several images flashed through her mind. In the images, the place was crowded with people and extremely prosperous.
"Is this the Wei family?" Shang Ruoyi asked in a low voice.
"Wei family?" He Yunyi blinked: "I haven't asked about this yet."
Just then, an old man walked out, his eyes fell on Shang Ruoyi, and he couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
"Young Miss?" Butler Wei, with gray hair, immediately shook his head: "No, that's not right, you are not a Miss, our Miss has passed away."
"You are, Butler Wei?"
Upon hearing this, Butler Wei walked over quickly and said, "You are the young lady, you are the young lady, right?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Butler Wei, I haven't seen you for many years."
"Young Miss." Butler Wei suddenly burst into tears and knelt on the ground: "Young Miss, I finally see you."
Shang Ruoyi frowned: "What happened?"
"Young lady." Steward Wei's face was covered with tears. "The Wei family went bankrupt. The master and his wife passed away one after another. The young master was infected with an epidemic. Not long after the Wei family went bankrupt, the young master was also gone. The mansion owed a large sum of money. I had no choice but to look for the young lady. However, the people in the prime minister's mansion said that the young lady had passed away. In desperation, I had to use all the remaining shops to pay off the debts. Now the entire Wei family is left with only this empty house." Steward Wei looked at Shang Ruoyi. "Originally, I planned to sell this house for money and then go to the prime minister's mansion to look for you. But now the prime minister's mansion has been ransacked, and I don't know where to find you!"
"I'm in the Dingguo Palace now." Shang Ruoyi helped him up: "Tell me about the Wei family's affairs over the years!"
