Chapter 1104: Unpeaceful House, Extravagant Furnishing
Translator: Lonelytree
She was furious when she saw the palm print on her son’s face and how Zeng Yanli treated her son so rudely.
She said angrily, Rebel, rebel, really rebel!
Then, she stood in front of Zeng Yanli and said angrily, Zeng Yanli, you’re a woman pointing at your husband and scolding him. Do you still have any ethics in your eyes? Do you believe that I’ll immediately ask Ye ‘Er to divorce you
Zeng Yanli was not afraid at all. She said disdainfully, ” Hmph, if he wanted to divorce you, he would have done so long ago! Without His Majesty’s permission, I want to see how Jiang Zhenye will divorce me.”
Wen Yujing pointed at Zeng Yanli and said loudly, ” Just because you disrespect your husband and your parents-in-law, we can sue you in front of the Emperor!
Zeng Yanli patted her chest and looked scared. She said, I ‘ Aiyo, I’m so scared! ‘
Then, she said arrogantly and disdainfully, I ‘ In that case, go ahead. Let’s see if the Emperor will agree to it! Hmph, don’t think that I don’t know. If you wanted to divorce me, you would have done so long ago. It’s a pity that you can’t! His Majesty has said that I, Zeng Yanli, am a member of your Jiang family in life and a ghost of your Jiang family in death!”
Wen Yujing really wanted to faint from anger.
Indeed, if they could divorce Zeng Yanli, then why did they do all the shameful things to cancel the marriage?
Wen Yujing’s face turned green as she said angrily, ” You… You’re really too impudent!”
Zeng Yanli ignored Wen Yujing’s scolding and said directly, ” Hmph, if you don’t send that b * tch away, there will be more insolence coming! Then you have to be careful of your precious son and grandson at all times! Xiao Hua, let’s go back to the house!”
Zeng Yanli left with her maid.
The mother and son were left hopping with anger.
Jiang Zhenye wailed in pain, ” Mother, I can’t take it anymore. I have to face this ugly woman every day. When will it end? Mother, think of a way to make this woman disappear from my sight!”
Wen Yujing looked at the pained expression on her son’s face and felt her heart ache.
However, she did not know what to do at that moment.
He couldn’t divorce her, and he couldn’t kill her. She couldn’t even make her die in an accident.
Because no one was stupid.
The Duke’s House had never been satisfied with this marriage. If anything happened to Zeng Yanli, the first reaction of anyone would be that the Duke’s House had killed her. Not to mention the Minister of Revenue’s Public House, even the Emperor and the Empress would be suspicious. Perhaps, this would cause a disaster for the Duke’s House.
Therefore, Wen Yujing couldn’t do anything for the time being.
She was just waiting, waiting for the right time.
She comforted Jiang Zhenye and said, ” Son, let’s endure it a little longer. Lees endure it a little longer!
Jiang Zhenye covered his face and roared angrily, ” I can’t take it, I can’t take it!”
With that, he ran away!
Just as Wen Yujing was thinking about whether she should chase after him, a servant suddenly rushed over and whispered something to Wen Yujing.
Wen Yujing glanced in the direction where Jiang Zhenye ran and left.
In a certain courtyard, a figure standing in front of a window said lightly, ‘ The letter has arrived! ‘
Behind him, a kneeling figure replied respectfully, ” Yes, the letter has been delivered. She said that she would be at Yuelai Restaurant on time tonight!”
“Okay, you may leave!”
Liu Yichen finally got someone to inquire about Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan’s whereabouts.
“Master, they are in Qing Feng City now! i ‘ Lou Ye reported to Liu Yichen.
Liu Yichen raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, ” Qing Feng City? Why did they go to Qing Feng City again?
However, Lou Ye said, ” Master, have you forgotten that Lin’s Medicine Store and the restaurant gifted by Master have become Lin Yuelan’s Ni Lai Wo Wang Restaurant? And the Golden Origin Auction House. They are all Lin Yuelan’s properties. ” Perhaps, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan rushed over when something happened to these shops!’
Liu Yichen shook his head. ” I’m afraid things aren’t that simple! Let’s go to Qing Feng City now!”
Lou Ye was speechless.
…
The commotion in the capital city did not affect Lin Yuelan.
Since the Gold Origin Auction House didn’t show any signs of abnormality, Lin Yuelan guessed that Zhou Anping had already made up his mind.
Therefore, she instructed her subordinates to continue to pay attention to any abnormalities and did not make any arrangements or actions.
“Master, Governor-General Zhou has come to see you!”
Steward Fang of the Lin Medicine Store came to Lin’s Garden to report to Lin Yuelan.
Three days had passed. Zhou Anping went to look for Lin Yuelan as promised.
Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows when she heard her subordinate’s report. She thought to herself, ‘It seems like Zhou Anping has really thought it through. Otherwise, both the Gold Origin Auction House and Lin’s Medicine Hall wouldn’t have been so quiet these past three days! However, this was also a good thing. In Qing Feng City, as long as he doesn’t find trouble, no one dares to find trouble!”
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, ‘i Yes, you may leave! Tell him that I’ll be there in an hour!”
Steward Fang replied respectfully, ” Yes!
After Steward Fang left, the corners of Jiang Zhennan’s mouth curled up slightly. He said, ” It seems that Zhou Anping has compromised? ‘
Lin Yuelan smiled and said, ” In the face of life and death, perhaps anyone would compromise!
Jiang Zhennan nodded in agreement. ” That’s right!
For someone like Zhou Anping, who had been immersed in officialdom for decades and had finally reached such a high position, how could he be so indifferent to such a major matter as life and death?
They still had decades of glory and wealth to enjoy, so they were the most afraid of death.
Jiang Zhennan continued, ” I believe that after this lesson, Zhou Anping won’t dare to have any evil thoughts about Lin’s Medicine Store and the Golden Origin Auction House anymore. On the contrary, after this life-and-death situation, he will definitely be on good terms with you.”
If he didn’t have a life, all grievances, grudges, money, and power would be empty talk.
Lin Yuelan said, ” It would be best if he could understand. Even if he doesn’t understand, I, Lin Yuelan, won’t be afraid of him using underhanded methods again!”
Jiang Zhennan nodded.
Then, the two of them went to Lin’s Medicine Hall!
When they arrived at Lin’s Medicine Hall, Zhou Anping had already been invited to Lin Yuelan’s office.
There was a group of people who were sick or not outside Lin’s Medicine Hall.
They heard that Zhou Anping’s illness relapsed three months after he was cured.
It was exactly three months now, and it was said that it seemed to have relapsed because of depression.
Hence, he went straight to Lin’s Medicine Hall to look for Lin Yuelan.
Of course, if the old illness relapsed and the patient did not take good care of himself, he could not blame the doctor.
Therefore, other than a few people who were jealous of Lin’s Medicine Hall’s business, no one criticized Lin Yuelan.
After all, other than the person involved, even the gods could not guarantee that the illness would relapse, right?
Of course, there were also some people who were puzzled. Shouldn’t Young Master Lin go to the Zhou residence to treat Lord Zhou’s old illness?
Why would Lord Zhou come to seek medical treatment personally?
After all, Lord Zhou was the highest official in Qing Feng City. With a wave of his hand, any doctor had to come.
Regardless of whether it was the Zhou Residence or the Lin Family Medicine Hall, they would not give an answer to these speculations.
When Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan arrived at the office, they saw Zhou Anping looking at the so-called office curiously.
Lin Yuelan had designed the office according to the modern doctor’s office, but it was very spacious.
The windows in the room did not look like they were made of greyish oil paper. Instead, they were made of white glass that he had never seen before. They were very transparent, making the room look very spacious and bright.
There was a long silver-gray table with some books, paper, and brushes on it. There were also a few three-legged round stools. Not only that, there was also a long chair against the wall that was soft and comfortable.
Housekeeper Zhou sized up the so-called office. His expression was a little strange. He whispered to Zhou Anping, ” Sir, it seems like Lin Yuelan isn’t simple at all! ‘
Zhou Anping did not answer.
Zhou Anping also looked at the furniture and decoration, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew that these pieces of furniture were all produced by a company called Lin’s Woodworking Workshop.
However, the furniture in that shop was extremely popular among the upper class because it was beautiful, novel, and comfortable to use.
However, they only accepted custom-made orders.
Even the most powerful families would have to wait for one to two months, or even longer, to customize their furniture Moreover, the fees were extremely expensive!
A soft and comfortable sofa like this would cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for a single person, and a sofa for many people would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. It was completely a luxury among the upper class.
Not to mention ordinary people, even people with some money and power, could not afford it.
But Lin’s Medicine Store had clearly just risen up in Green Opulence City not long ago. It was clearly one of those small merchants with no power or influence.
Logically speaking, not to mention the cost, even if they wanted to customize the furniture, it would not be their turn for the next few months.
But today, he had to see these luxury furniture that were hard to come by in the upper-class circle.
Zhou Anping felt that the background of Lin Yuelan that he had asked people to investigate in the past might only be on the surface. There might be a deeper layer that was deliberately concealed..
