Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 145: Careless Mate Selection: Men Are Poor and Women Are Suffering
“I am the seventeenth daughter of the Marquis of Zhenxi, the legitimate daughter of the General of the Cavalry, and my father was a great hero in pacifying the northwest.

How dare you, the owner of a Yunjin store, treat me like this? Our Fan family will never let you off easily."

Fan Yurou stood at the door of the store, looked up and glared at Xiao Lichuan in front of the door, shouting with bloodshot eyes.

Her pale, sickly face was filled with overwhelming anger and hatred, making her look particularly hideous and terrifying.

In Fan Yurou's opinion, except for the prince, all other young talents in the entire Shangjing City are ants.

Just now she was just mesmerized by Xiao Lichuan's unparalleled beauty, and she couldn't help but lower herself to get closer to him.

But she didn't expect him to be so ungrateful, so her temper as a spoiled young lady was fully exposed, and she glared at Xiao Lichuan viciously.

"The General of the Cavalry is very powerful, but who do you think you are? How dare you speak nonsense in front of me?"

The smile on Xiao Lichuan's face quickly disappeared, and his gaze towards Fan Yurou gradually became sinister.

Business should be done in a harmonious way, but he wanted to avenge his future sister-in-law. His stepmother must be very vicious for causing his concubine's daughter to lose her innocence.

He and his sister-in-law were standing on the second floor and could see clearly that it was this frail woman who first tried to snatch other people's clothes.

"You...what do you mean?" Fan Yurou's pupils suddenly shrank, and her original arrogance instantly receded by more than half.

"What I mean is that the women and dogs of the Fan family are not allowed to enter the Yunjin store. I am not afraid of your revenge."

What Xiao Lichuan didn't say was that the Marquis of Zhenxi was not much stronger than their father, and was just a wimp.

He himself has not achieved anything, but he is lucky and has the support of his father, brothers and sister.

"Okay, very good, you wait with me." After Fan Yurou made these harsh words, she began to stagger.

Seeing that the situation was not right, her personal maids quickly lifted Fan Yurou onto the carriage; their movements were very skillful.

Xiao Lichuan watched Fan Yurou faint and just stood there indifferently.

He was still sighing in his heart: She fainted but still held on to the dress and refused to let go. Fortunately, he had paid the money before, otherwise he would have lost a lot!

It is well known that the seventeenth daughter of the Fan family has a heart disease, so it is not surprising for everyone to see her fainting from time to time.

Everyone continued to select their favorite brocade and then picked some custom-made clothes in their favorite styles.

Some ladies and young ladies, in order to save money, would just pick out brocade and make it themselves at home.

"Mr. Xiao, please don't blame yourself. We all saw that her fainting had nothing to do with you."

Jiang Li said distressedly when she saw Xiao Lichuan standing there with a frown looking at the back of the Fan family's carriage.

"Thank you, young lady. Today, all ladies and young ladies who choose Yunjin in our store will enjoy a 20% discount. I wish you all a happy shopping."

Xiao Lichuan said this with a smile on his face, but he was secretly complaining in his heart: Xiao is the only one who doesn't blame himself!
After he said that, he hurried upstairs to find his sister-in-law to explain. Normally, no one caused trouble in their store.

But he didn't expect that his sister-in-law would see this when she came for the first time. He didn't know if his sister-in-law would be disappointed in him!
Jiang Li wanted to go up and talk to Xiao Lichuan a few more times, but was stopped by her maid, who hinted at her with her eyes to choose Yunjin.

She looked at Xiao Lichuan's back and pursed her lips, then turned around and asked the shopkeeper: "Your boss said that there will be a 20% discount today, so will the Yunjin that was discounted before still be discounted today?"

"Don't worry, miss. The Yunjin that was discounted before will be discounted another 20% today." The shopkeeper said enthusiastically.

He didn't know if it was right to say this. This lady had just spoken up for others, so it should be okay to give her a discount.

Xiao Lichuan ran up to the second floor, only to find out that his sister-in-law had already gone to visit his seventh brother's milk tea shop.

Wen Qingwan didn't have time to watch the fun on the second floor. Besides, she felt that there was a generation gap between her and these ladies.

Although these girls were about the same age as her, with a difference of only two or three years at most, she believed that she had lived an extra life. The only reason she walked away with peace of mind was because she saw that the girl who spoke up to help Xiao Lichuan was Jiang Li, the youngest daughter of the Jiang family.

If the two of them were destined to be together, it would be best if they could get married. She didn't know who Xiao Lichuan married in his previous life.

But Jiang Li met the wrong person in her previous life. She was tortured to death at a young age. She was not careful in choosing her spouse, so the man became poor and the woman suffered!

Although Jiang Li's father, Lord Jiang, did not hold a high official position, being only a fifth-rank censor, he was a supervisory censor.

The Chayuan, one of the three courts set up by the Censorate, was responsible for supervising the work style of officials.

Lord Jiang is a big troll in the court. He is either trolling others or on his way to troll others.

As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a censor. Lord Jiang is particularly hated.

He was a troublemaker that all officials hated but could not avoid, and was often called a sycophant behind the scenes.

But they only cursed in private and seldom dared to curse in front of the person responsible.

Because all the officials knew that Jiang Dapengzi's family was not rich, he was incorruptible, and he would not accept bribes or bend the law for personal gain.

It was rare to find any evidence against him, and going against him was simply asking for trouble. Besides, the emperor protected him, and the officials could do nothing about him.

Jiang Li is the only and youngest daughter of Mr. Jiang. She has four older brothers. She has been spoiled by her family since she was young, so she has a straightforward personality.

When she was the queen in her previous life, Jiang Dapengzi had become even more cynical because of his daughter's death, which led to the fall of several of her in-laws and corrupt officials.

Wen Qingwan gave the opportunity to Xiao Lichuan. She really didn't expect that Xiao Lichuan didn't even ask her where she came from.

She took her two maids to the milk tea shop and drank three flavors of milk tea, and also took a look at the customer flow of each store.

She truly admired Xiao Qi's vision. Each store was doing very good business, and after deducting expenses, they could earn at least eight to ten taels of silver a day.

The cost is not high, and earning around three hundred taels a month is already pretty good.

Although it can't be compared with Xiao Si's Yunjin, it is still very good compared to other small businesses.

It was almost dark before I finished visiting more than thirty milk tea shops. The streets back to the mansion were bustling with people coming and going.

Wen Qingwan's mood suddenly became a little complicated. In her previous life, she had never seen such a lively scene.

After being reborn, she felt that her previous life was lived in vain.

"Miss, are we going back now?" Jinque asked with lingering interest.

"Well, let's go back. We've been out all day." Wen Qingwan nodded. She wanted to go back and see Xiao Jin remotely.

At a street corner, several carriages suddenly rushed over and blocked the road ahead of them.

There was a large group of people rushing over from behind, and it was obvious that they were coming for the three of them, master and servant.

Jinlan was so frightened that her face turned pale and she stared nervously ahead, but she still stood on Wen Qingwan's left side.

Jinque also noticed something was wrong, so she pulled Wen Qingwan and said, "Master, please sit still. I'll take a look."

The two sisters protected Wen Qingwan on both sides, not knowing that their master was now a very powerful martial artist.

Five or six richly dressed, fleshy-faced men jumped down from the carriage in front and approached their carriage.

The leader, a short and fat man, pointed at Wen Qingwan and said, "That woman in the carriage, take her away."
