Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

My parents must have gotten pregnant when they were in Liuzhou, which means the reason they hadn’t had children for so many years wasn’t due to their health. So there must be something wrong with the house in Liuzhou or the food they ate.

Later, she would have to find someone to investigate it carefully.

She returned to the yard, and together with Chenxiang and Baizhi, rummaged through the small storehouse and took out a bunch of good things, including food, useful things, and wearables.

He had them all sent to Mingde Hall one by one, and also wrote down a few medicinal ingredients for his father, telling him not to touch these ingredients while making incense for the next few months.

In her own incense-making room, she also sealed up all these herbs, wrapped them tightly, and locked them in a large wooden box.

Sang Mo watched from the top of the wall for a long time, seeing them sending things out one after another. He couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment, and couldn't find a chance to go over and ask, so he had to jump back to Li's house.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was drinking tea in the hall, and opposite him sat Lord Yu Sicong, who could not sit still anywhere.

This time he came here to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have dinner with him at Louwailou, and also to make amends and apologize to His Royal Highness for what happened last time.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not go at all, but said to him, "What happened last time? Did Lord Yu do anything wrong last time?"

Look, it’s Lord Yu again, and you know that His Highness is still angry.

Yu Sicong thought so, and bowed to Li Junhao repeatedly, "Your Highness, please forgive me. You know I am usually heartless. I don't know if I did anything wrong or not, but don't worry, I will never dare to do it again."

Li Junhao glanced at him again, without showing too much displeasure on his face, and asked him, "Is your old man okay?"

"Good, very good. Yesterday he chased me around the house three times." Yu Sicong replied with a smile.

"That's good." Li Junhao said, picking up the teacup and taking a sip, and then asked, "Is there anything going on in the court?"

"Ah, this..." Yu Sicong was speechless for a moment. Although his official position was not high, he needed to attend the morning court. However, listening to them quarreling there every day made him very upset, so he took a nap most of the time to catch up on sleep.

Yes, taking a nap while standing.

"Your Highness shouldn't ask me about this. You know me." Yu Sicong said, and then looked at Li Junhao again. Seeing that he was not angry at all, he continued,

"Probably, they are discussing the Emperor's birthday banquet and the locust plague in Jinzhou every day."

Li Junhao naturally knew about the locust plague in Jinzhou. Jinzhou had sent fast horses to the capital three days ago to report the news, saying that they had encountered a severe locust plague that had not been seen in decades.

The affected area is large and the disaster is moving quickly, making them unable to defend themselves and helpless. They hope that the emperor can send officials to solve the problem, otherwise there will probably be a lot of refugees and victims this year.

Jinzhou was the fief of Li Junze. At the suggestion of several officials instructed by Wang Zhuo, they recommended Prince An to go to Jinzhou to quell the disaster.

If this is true, Li Junze's house arrest this time will probably be cancelled again.

However, the emperor seems to have not yet decided whether to let Li Junze go, but in Li Junhao's opinion, it should be a matter of time.

"Well, Your Highness," Yu Sicong said tentatively, "What are you guys up to? I really don't understand. What's the situation with you living outside the palace for a long time?"

This sentence, well, was not the question he wanted to ask, but was a question his grandfather asked him to ask.

"You will know in the future. Now, tell your grandfather to stay calm." Li Junhao raised his hand and poured another cup of tea for Yu Sicong.

When Yu Sicong heard this, he knew that His Highness knew about it, and that he had come here on the orders of his grandfather to gather information.

He was not embarrassed, as he had done this many times before. He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. Mission accomplished, all that was left was bragging.

"Your Highness, have you heard that a charity suddenly appeared near the City God Temple in the western suburbs of the capital. It not only took in all the lonely and helpless orphans and elderly people,

They also let young refugees who are capable of working and honest and down-to-earth go in to help, and now the news has spread everywhere in the capital."

Yu Sicong suddenly remembered this incident. He had just heard about it and was very surprised. How could he just stand by and watch when someone in the capital city actually did such a good deed?

So this time, he wanted to take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with him to take a look, and take out some silver to support them.

This sentence really aroused Li Junhao's interest, "Really? When did this happen?"

"It's been more than a month, but before that we were just repairing the courtyard and house of Chengshan Hall. It was only more than half a month ago that we officially started taking in those lonely elderly people and children, and immediately attracted a lot of attention."

"However, since most of the people living in that area were civilians, they spread the news privately. Later, it spread in teahouses, and then more people knew about it."

"I just heard about it when I was having dinner at Louwailou."

When Yu Sicong talked about this, he began to talk nonstop and even changed his self-reference to "I".

Li Junhao naturally wouldn't bother with these things. If he had bothered with them over the past ten years or so, he would have lost his head countless times.

"Louwailou gives you a 20% discount, so you don't have to go there every day." Li Junhao teased him.

"Well, if I eat at home, I don't know how my grandfather will scold me. It's better to dine in Louwailou where it's comfortable and quiet." When Yu Sicong was happy, his arm accidentally knocked the teacup in front of him to the ground.

With a crisp "pop" sound, the teacup broke into pieces. Sang Mo, who was watching from the side, cried out in his heart that something was wrong.

That was the only set of tea cups among the gifts sent by Madam Xie. This Lord Yu is indeed a troublemaker.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Well, I will personally send you another set tomorrow. I will go to my grandfather's warehouse to find the best set and send it to you." Yu Sicong had not yet realized how big a disaster he had caused.

Li Junhao was still as calm as usual, "Master Yu, you don't have to be polite. It's just a set of teacups."

Yu Sicong smiled even more brightly, knowing that His Highness would not be so stingy as to really let him pay for it. But why did he feel that His Highness seemed to be gritting his teeth when he said what he just said?

Maybe it's my own misunderstanding.

It was not until the two of them arrived at Chengshan Hall in the west of the city that Yu Sicong truly realized that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indeed angry, and very angry.
