Yu Xin smiled faintly and said: "Whether you believe it or not, it's still the same saying, time will tell people's hearts."

For the first time, Xue Rouer felt that she was not sure and had no confidence.

Yu Xin said: "I'm going to the Peony Pavilion first. Miss, please help yourself."

Xue Rou'er looked at Yu Xin's back and didn't know what to do for a moment. Mingzhu's matter had to be dealt with, but it still depended on whether Xue Li wanted to stay. As long as he said not to stay, it would be easy.

It didn't take long for someone to report: "Miss, I asked you to handle it yourself. Send it back or sell it as you like."

Xue Rouer sneered: "In that case, don't blame me for being rude."

They were right in front of the door of the woodshed. Mingzhu inside heard clearly and immediately knocked on the door and shouted: "Miss, please have mercy. Seeing that Mingzhu has not betrayed the master, please have mercy!"

Xue Rou'er sneered: "I, Xue Rou'er, can't tolerate sand the most in my eyes. I understand even more clearly that being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself. Although I am not a very evil person, I am not a kind person either. You should go home and wait for the sequel."

."

Mingzhu cried desperately: "Miss, I don't want to be a continuation, I want to be the master's wife..."

Xue Rou'er sighed: "You don't have any repentance. You can still be considered a real wife by being a second wife, but you want to be a child. Are you willing to let me sell you to a brothel that you despise?"

Mingzhu was really frightened by her words and did not dare to speak. She could only cry loudly.

Xue Rou'er said: "Send her back and say that the master is merciful and allows her to marry someone else and become his wife, and give her a thousand taels of silver as a dowry."

"Yes." None of the servants dared to say anything unnecessary, but it could be seen that they were very happy, and it seemed that this pearl often bullied others.

Xue Rou'er did not go to Peony Pavilion, but came to the study. Xue Li was writing something, looked up and continued writing.

"Dad, you won't blame me, right?" Xue Rouer smiled.

Xue Li said without raising his head: "Why do you blame me? I didn't like Mingzhu when she came in."

Xue Rou'er was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why do you keep it if you don't like it?"

Xue Li said: "Not every woman can catch my eye, and besides, she is useless."

Xue Rou'er's heart felt cold. Xue Li was so cold-hearted. He could just throw it away when it was no longer useful. If he was no longer useful in the future, would he also be discarded like a pair of worn-out shoes?

Xue Li said: "Sign it."

Xue Rou'er took the paper handed over by Xue Li and read it. It was a contract for a shop on South Street. She picked up a pen and signed her name.

Xue Li looked at it and said, "You still need to practice your handwriting."

Xue Rou'er's face was full of black lines and she said: "It's not that I don't have enough time to write. Who can blame me?"

Xue Li smiled and said: "You are blaming me. I taught you personally at that time, but unfortunately you are not the material."

Xue Rou'er was stunned. Xue Li had taught her personally? She searched the memory carefully, but unfortunately there was no impression.

Xue Li said: "You were six years old then..." He did not continue.

Xue Rou'er laughed dryly and said: "It's all over. It was me who failed to live up to my expectations. I just want to know if one day I am useless, will you abandon me like worn out shoes?"

Xue Li smiled and said: "I don't know, after all, this hasn't happened yet."

Xue Rou'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this answer, and said: "Okay, I won't ask anymore, the past ten years have been enough to prove it."

Xue Li said: "You don't understand me."

Xue Rou'er sneered: "Don't understand? I know it too well. You are just a businessman who can't afford to be early without profit. As long as it is profitable, what can't you do?"

Xue Li's face darkened and he said, "Is this the tone you use when talking to dad?"

Xue Rouer hummed: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, I'll go to the shop and have a look."

Xue Li said nothing and watched her leave. Mu Ru walked in and said, "Master, the eldest lady's temper is very similar to yours."

"Like me?" Xue Li smiled.

Mu Ru said: "It's a pity that the eldest lady is not a man, otherwise someone would inherit the Xue family's business."

Xue Li said: "We can recruit a new wife in the future."

Mu Ru looked at Xue Li in surprise. Was he planning to let the eldest lady inherit the family business?

Xue Li said: "What happened to Yushu and Shanshan?"

Muru said: "The third lady regrets it and wants to come back. The eldest young master was deceived by the third lady, so the eldest young master cannot be blamed for this matter."

Xue Li said: "They are not allowed to come back. The silk and satin shop on West Street is kind and allowed to run well."

Mu Ru didn't say much. After all, they were father and son, and Xue Li would not let his son survive.

Xue Rou'er went out to South Street. The streets here are very regular. In addition to Qinglong Street, which leads directly from the city gate to the palace, there are three spacious streets running across it, namely Zhuque, Xuanwu and Baihu. The rest are some small alleys, each

Kind of name.

The so-called South Street is actually Xuanwu Street. Xue Rouer's shop is close to Qinglong Street. There is one shop on the left and right, and there is another shop a little further away. In the alley, I glanced at it and saw that it was a wood shop. There was no business, but look at it.

It occupies a large area and is probably used for stacking wood.

One of the two shops near Qinglong Street is a grocery store and the other is a rice store, but neither of them is related to jade. Judging from the store's relatively new appearance, it should be Xue Li's expanded business.

She came to the grocery store, where a man was buying silk thread. When she turned around, Xue Rouer's face darkened, and it turned out to be Ling Muran.

Ling Muran looked at her and smiled: "Why are you so free? Are you here to buy something?"

Xue Rouer sneered: "I was in a good mood, but when I saw you, I lost all my mood."

Ling Muran frowned and said, "We are in-laws after all. Can we be nicer when we meet?"

Xue Rouer said: "Okay, please, the main road is over there."

Ling Muran said: "The Xue family's business is very good. This grocery store has a full range of silk threads. Do you want to choose some? By the way, you can't embroider, I forgot."

Xue Rouer was angry and said: "I am in a big business, how can I have free time to embroider? I wonder if you bought the silk thread for Qing'er or for your confidante?"

Ling Muran said: "Of course it's for Qing'er. She's bored at home and wants to embroider something."

Xue Rouer raised her eyebrows and said, "Then why don't you send it back quickly? I'm sorry."

Ling Muran suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "Rou'er, actually you don't have to treat me like this. I know you always have me in your heart, but you just blame me for marrying your sister. But this is because you escaped from the marriage first, you can't blame me!"

Xue Rou'er turned around and cursed: "Ling Muran, don't be arrogant. I, Xue Rou'er, can't have you in my heart."

Ling Muran still stubbornly thought that Xue Rou'er was jealous, and said: "Rou'er, if marrying you can calm your anger, I will propose marriage immediately."
