Scheming Prince’s Conceited Consort - C194

On the busiest street in Liyang City, in the most luxurious restaurant, in the private room near the window, Qian Mian was pouring tea and preparing to put it in his mouth, but he was suddenly blocked by the sword sheath that Mo Sheng had reached out.

“You still have the mood to drink tea after the princess has gone missing for so long?”

It was rare for Mo Sheng to say such a long sentence, but Qian Mian was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off.

“Mo Sheng, why are you so nervous for the princess? It’s not only a lady, but also the most beautiful woman in the world. Furthermore, unlike ordinary girls, her courage and tenacity is not inferior to any man in the world, so it’s only natural for Mo Sheng to be moved by her. “” Oh, I understand now, there’s a saying, that a princess is not only a lady, it’s also the most beautiful woman in the world.

As if he had discovered some big secret, Qian Mian circled around Mo Sheng with a thoughtful expression.

“Qian Mian, what is the princess’ identity, don’t forget it, if the king finds out, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to keep your tongue!”

Mo Sheng’s expression did not change at all as he finished the cup of tea that Qian Mian had just poured. Holding his sword, he jumped out of the window without looking back, and when Qian Mian caught up to him, he was already nowhere to be seen among the bustling crowd.

“This punk, he can’t even joke around. Seriously, that’s not right. He didn’t deny anything he said just now!”

Qian Mian kept his fan. Seems like he guessed right, he could not help but feel happy for Mo Sheng, after being happy for so many years, he finally understood what was going on, and he did not need to endure the awkward gazes from others while he was together with Mo Sheng.

However, Qian Mian’s happiness didn’t last long before his face became filled with worry. Gu Shiyi was’s legal and proper wife, the wife of a husband.

At this time, in the largest food store in Liyang City, two ordinary citizens bought food from a family of three for one month. For a business transaction like this, the grain store had to do countless of things every day, so those two commoners didn’t attract anyone’s attention. In fact, when the shopkeeper was weighing them, he didn’t even bat an eyelid.

A day later, a very diligent and virtuous looking woman was kneeling in front of the Jiang clan’s food shop’s entrance, wearing a dress of mourning. She was shouting her grievances at the top of her lungs, and in front of her, there was a mat, and on top of the mat, was a man’s corpse, covered with a layer of white cloth.

The heavens have mercy on me, my master had only to eat a bowl of rice cooked from the Jiang family’s grain store before spitting black blood from his mouth and dying. The doctor said that he died from poisoning after eating the moldy rice that was reprocessed, ah, the heavens have eyes, the Jiang family has a dark heart, they actually used poison rice as new rice. My master has a poor old man and a young man, he hasn’t eaten a single mouthful of rice in a month, but he finally bought some food for my boss to cook dry rice.

The woman started crying again and again in the early morning, attracting a lot of people’s attention. By the time the grain store opened for business, the situation had already developed to a point where they couldn’t control it.

There were even many commoners gathered at the entrance of the grain store, loudly swearing to demand an explanation from the Jiang clan. Most of them had the same family conditions as this woman. Eating a bowl of dry food was like New Year’s Day.

Everyone listen to me, what happened to this young lady? I deeply sympathize with her, but there are countless customers in our grain store every day, and yet there have never been any incidents involving this young wife. I believe that the people with eyes can see what is going on, this young lady’s family has met with difficulties, and I can understand it, but it would be too unwise for them to come to the entrance of the grain store and cause trouble and blackmail.

With a few casual words, the shopkeeper pushed the cause of the man’s death to another issue and gave the woman a bag of about a hundred taels of silver in front of the crowd.

This scene made many people envious. One had to know, a hundred taels of silver was enough for a family of seven to live comfortably for fifty years.

The shopkeeper’s move instantly gathered everyone’s suspicions onto that woman. She even made a shameless sound, thinking that this woman was deliberately trying to swindle the Jiang Clan. This business was truly profitable!

Who wants your stinky money? Jiang Li San, don’t think that you can confuse the facts just like that. If you have the ability, get someone to take out a few bags of rice from your warehouse and show them to everyone here.

Unexpectedly, the woman didn’t even look at the silver and directly threw it away. She pointed at the shopkeeper called Jiang Lisan and swore. Her words were passionate, and once again, she became the target of sympathy.

“Exactly, whether or not the Jiang Clan sells mildewed rice, we’ll know after checking!”

“That’s right, it’s going to be quick!”

“It’s almost time for the test. It can’t really be that they’re feeling guilty, right?”

Jiang Li San’s face became darker and darker. It wasn’t because there really was poisoned rice in the granary, but because the cries of the crowd made him feel extremely unhappy. Could it be that the Jiang family’s several hundred years of prestige couldn’t even compare to this woman’s instigation?

Since it was going to be tested, then he would openly test it out thoroughly. He would let this group of ignorant commoners know just how stupid they were.

“Men, bring out ten bags of medium and low quality rice from the warehouse!”

The credibility of his Jiang Family was not something that could be destroyed so easily!

Soon, thirty bags of rice were brought to the entrance of the food store. With one hand holding his bag, Jiang Lishan confidently asked the shop assistant to open it one by one. The crowd’s expression was first filled with shock, then filled with uncontrollable rage.

Jiang Li San looked at the sudden change in everyone’s attitude and the guilty expressions of the workers. He panicked and hurried forward to take a look, only to see that each of the thirty bags of rice had a layer of green mold growing on them.

“How can this be!”

Jiang Lishan was in a daze, unable to believe what he was seeing. But in the next second, the crowd began to smash the shop on their own. Jiang Lisan held his head as he squatted in the crowd, constantly thinking about what had gone wrong.

The one who was in charge of the food supply from Jiang Family, had always been the young master from the second branch.

In the chaos, the bodies of the woman dressed in mourning and the man lying on the ground had disappeared.

On the third floor of the inn opposite of the food store, the woman looked through the half-closed window at the Jiang Clan food store whose signboard had been destroyed, then turned and smiled at the graceful man who was drinking tea at the table.

“Jing, you still have a way!”
