Ever since Su You got together with Du Gu Xiu, Du Gu Xiu ordered her to live in the county office. Du Gu Xiu even handed over the closed shops to Su You to manage.
The citizens of White River County were more or less dissatisfied with the way they were abusing their authority for personal gain, especially the merchants who were eyeing these shops.
If the Ruan family was unlucky, these shops would be confiscated. However, the government office could not manage these shops, so they could only sell them back to the merchants. They could not keep an eye on them when they were taking advantage of the situation.
Now that the little girl from the Ruan family was fine, the Regent gave the shops to Su You. How could these people not have any objections?
However, Su You was the Regent's favorite. They could only call her a vixen behind her back.
…
At the Ruan residence.
Qiu Shui was the first to hear the news. She rushed over to find Shi Sheng. "Miss, the Regent is too much."
Nothing had happened to her Miss yet. How could he give it to Su You!
"Just give it to her if she wants it," Shi Sheng said nonchalantly.
"Miss!" Can you be a little nervous? There are people outside the residence and the shops are gone.
Shi Sheng waved his hand. "Don't blame him. Just eat and sleep well. Look at your dark circles. Go back and rest."
Qiu Shui wanted to cry.
It would be strange if she could sleep.
It was a matter of life and death!
Shi Sheng disappeared from Qiu Shui's sight. She did not want to hear anyone talk about it.
Du Gu Xiu's consort selection had ended. However, because of Shi Sheng, he asked people to bring the girls back to the capital first. It was said that Ding Xiang did not escape even when she tried to commit suicide.
As for He Ting, he was locked up in the He family. He was not allowed to go out at all. He could only occasionally hear about what happened outside from the servants.
When he heard that Su You and Du Gu Xiu were together, He Ting drowned his sorrows in alcohol. He was extremely dispirited.
The Su family naturally knew that Su You had a relationship with Du Gu Xiu. They came to find Su You and caused a lot of trouble.
The worst time was when Su 'Er's mother slapped Su' Er, saying that she was ungrateful. Du Gu Xiu almost killed Su 'Er's mother on the spot, but Su' Er stopped him, and Su 'Er's mother was spared.
Su 'Er had also severed ties with the Su family at that time, and had given them enough money to buy her sister from them.
After the Su family received the money, they really didn't look for Su You again.
Su'Er was a female lead who wanted to become a millionaire, so even though the male lead promised to marry her, she continued to work on her career.
After getting the shops from the Ruan family, Su'Er immediately started to take over other businesses.
Delicacies, trendy clothes, and jewelry quickly gained the favor of the girls in White River County.
Su 'Er's business was doing quite well, and with the Regent in charge, no one dared to make trouble for her.
Du Gu Xiu couldn't do anything to the Shi Sheng, so he kept attacking the Ruan family's businesses. He first seized them in the name of the government and then gave them to Su You.
In the end, the only thing left of the Ruan family was that house.
Even Dugu Yi, the temporary resident, began to feel anxious. He kept wandering around in front of the Shi Sheng.
"Ruan Xiao Yang, your family is poor now, yet you still have the mood to sunbathe here?"
"What else can I do?" Shi Sheng shifted to a more comfortable position.
"Aren't you so arrogant? Go and take it back! "Dugu Yi slammed the table next to him.
Shi Sheng raised his hand and brushed his hair that was messed up by the wind. "You just want to see me and Du Gu Xiu fight each other, right?"
"How can I be that kind of person?" Dugu Yi immediately retorted. "I want to see you and Du Gu Xiu fight in a battle of wits and courage. It's much more interesting than the people in the capital secretly fighting each other."
The people in the capital were all secretly scheming. Sometimes, they didn't even know who did it, so it was very troublesome to watch.
Unlike now, when everyone knew that she and Du Gu Xiu were like fire and water, but Du Gu Xiu couldn't do anything to her.
"You want to watch a show?" Shi Sheng sat up and looked at Dugu Yi.
Dugu Yi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Shi Sheng stood up and said casually, "Let's go."
"Where to?"
"To watch a show."
Dugu Yi didn't know what Shi Sheng meant by watching a show, but when he saw that she was about to go out, Dugu Yi flinched.
After hesitating for a while, he quickly ran back to dress up and then chased after Shi Sheng.
When he reached the gate, Shi Sheng had violently broken through Dugu Xiu's encirclement and was walking towards the street.
Dugu Yi lowered his head and hurried to catch up.
"Where are we going to watch a show? What show are we going to watch? " As soon as Dugu Yi came out, he looked around with shifty eyes, as if he was afraid that others didn't know that he was a ghost.
Shi Sheng's lips curled up, and his light words fell into Dugu Yi's ears. "Welcome the Princess Regent."
Dugu Yi almost lost his balance. "What did you say?"
"Are you deaf? If you're sick, treat it. "
"Cough, cough …" Dugu Yi choked on his saliva again and patted his chest to calm himself down. "No, the Princess Regent? The one from the General's Residence? "
Shi Sheng rolled his eyes. "Did Dugu Xiu marry two women?"
Dugu Yi: "…" Of course not.
Dugu Yi didn't walk far before someone slipped a note to him. Dugu Yi secretly opened it and looked at the girl in front of him with a strange expression.
How did she know that the Princess Regent was coming?
Before Shi Sheng reached the gate of the county yamen, he saw a group of people surrounding a place. When Shi Sheng walked over, the people all made way for him.
"B * tch!"
As soon as Shi Sheng walked in, he heard such a coquettish voice, followed by a crisp slap.
In front of the luxurious carriage, a well-dressed woman with a slightly bulging belly was glaring angrily in a direction with her willowy eyebrows raised.
And the person standing opposite her was Su'Er. Dugu Xiu didn't see her.
Su'Er was inexplicably slapped, and her anger rose. "I just accidentally bumped into your maidservant. I've already apologized. What right do you have to hit me?"
"What right do I have?" The woman slapped her again.
But this time, the woman didn't hit her. Su'Er suddenly reached out and pushed her.
The woman probably didn't expect Su'Er to fight back. She staggered and fell back, and her waist hit the rut of the carriage behind her.
The woman's face turned pale, and her body froze.
"Princess Consort, Princess Consort …" The maidservants finally reacted. They surrounded the woman and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Guards, guards, where's the imperial doctor? Call the imperial doctor!"
"Delicate." Su'Er snorted, but when she saw red liquid start to seep out of the woman's skirt, she panicked.
She wanted to go forward, but she was blocked by those people and couldn't get close.
The woman was helped into the carriage, and Su'Er was directly taken away by the guards.
"If anything happens to the Princess Consort, you'll get it!" The maidservant said fiercely to Su'Er.
Shi Sheng held his face and laughed. The woman was at least four months pregnant. Anyone with eyes could see that, but Su'Er didn't.
How interesting.
"Ruan Xiao Yang, don't laugh. It's scary." Dugu Yi rubbed his arms.
