Chapter 205 - Taking advantage of my status to bully others
Chapter 205: Taking advantage of my status to bully others
A few days ago, Shi Qingluo had said that she wanted to avoid the princes, but today, she bumped into the second prince on the street.
Today, Xiao Hanzheng went out with Mr Hou for networking.
She was bored at home alone, so she went to the streets to scout for business opportunities.
While eating a mutton pancake, a male voice came from the side. “Eh, Miss Shi?”
Shi Qingluo looked over and saw the second prince, who still portrayed an elegant look.
He met her with a smile, as if he was surprised to meet her.
Beside him was another youth with an extraordinary appearance and temperament.
This youth wore similar clothing to the second prince, so she guessed that he might be his younger brother.
Shi Qingluo gave a distant smile and bowed very casually. “Greetings, second prince.”
Liang Hengshao smiled and said, “There’s no need to bow on the street.”
He asked, “Why are you alone?”
Today really wasn’t a coincidence that he had arranged.
Shi Qingluo smiled faintly and said, “I’m going out for a walk by myself.”
This was the first time Liang Hengshao saw a woman eating a pancake, and he felt that it was a little interesting.
So he couldn’t help but invite her. “We’re going to the teahouse in front. Do you want to join us?”
Shi Qingluo could also tell that he had not come to meet her on purpose today.
However, it was too much that he invited her with tea the moment he met her.
She immediately shook her head. “I’m not close to the second prince, and men and women shouldn’t be so close to each other. Thank you for the invitation, but I won’t be going.”
“I’m sorry, I was rude.”
The second prince wasn’t surprised that Shi Qingluo had rejected him.
He could already tell that this woman didn’t just mean that.
Instead, she really wanted to stay away from him.
He was a little unhappy, but at the same time, it was an indescribable new experience for him.
After all, he had never met her before.
Liang Hengyu was stunned when he saw this.
Clearly, he did not expect a woman to reject his second brother.
Only then did he carefully look at Shi Qingluo.
Although she was dressed simply, she gave off a clean and neat feeling.
She was beautiful and her temperament was even more outstanding, with a confident and lively lustre.
Had his second brother’s taste changed?
Shi Qingluo ignored the youth’s scrutiny and said to the second prince, “Then I’ll take my leave first. Please enjoy your trip later!”
Liang Hengshao sighed.
He was not a ferocious beast, was there a need for her to go so far?
Maintaining his composure, he said, “Alright, Miss Shi, this way please!”
Shi Qingluo left decisively.
Liang Hengyu waited for other people to leave before smiling at the second prince and said, “Second brother, it seems that you have also made a mistake!”
Liang Hengshao glanced at him. “I just want her to help.
“I have nothing to do with her.”
Liang Hengyu asked curiously, “Is she the disciple of that old immortal?”
Liang Hengshao nodded. “That’s right.”
Liang Hengyu instantly understood. “This is really a pity. Based on my observation, it’s not good to forge a friendship with her.”
He also did not expect a village woman to reject the prince.
The key was that Shi Qingluo doesn’t seem to be a village woman.
Liang Hengshao said, “We shouldn’t be discussing this here. Let’s go to the teahouse.”
Liang Hengshao and Liang Hengyu shared the same mother.
They were on the same boat.
Liang Hengyu smiled. “Sure.”
The two of them went to the teahouse across the road.
They did not notice that in a private room above the teahouse, there was a window that was half-open.
A young woman dressed ostentatiously stood behind the window.
She almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.
She told another person in the room, “Go and find out who that woman is. How does she know the second prince?”
“Yes!” Her servant girl immediately walked out.
A moment later, she returned.
“Madam, she is Shi Qingluo, the village woman who recently offered the seeds.”
She roughly elaborated about Shi Qingluo.
She paused for a moment before continuing, “Two days ago, the second prince went to an imperial manor at the capital suburbs and met her there.”
Fu Wenzheng pulled the handkerchief in her hand and revealed a somewhat disgusted expression. “Shameless little slut. Even a village woman like her wants to get close to him.
“Let’s go.”
She turned around and walked out of the room.
Meanwhile, Shi Qingluo saw a large embroidery shop.
She remembered that her mother-in-law liked to sew, so she walked in and planned to buy some items there.
She was not good at this, so she asked the shop owner to recommend some items.
After choosing a bunch of them, she was just about to pay when a sharp female voice suddenly sounded.
“I want all these.”
Shi Qingluo was very confused because a flamboyant lady in a bright red dress walked up to her from behind and pointed at the items that she had chosen.
She explained, “These are the items that I have chosen. If you want them, you can ask the shop owner to get you a new set.”
Fu Wenzheng raised her eyebrows and said, “I want these. You can choose a new set.”
Shi Qingluo sighed, she is crazy.
However, seeing the hostility in her eyes, she knew that she was deliberately looking for trouble.
Although she had to keep a low profile in the capital, it didn’t mean that she had to endure it.
Shi Qingluo glanced at her indifferently. “I chose these. I’ve already decided. If you want it, you can choose a set for yourself.”
Another customer in the embroidery shop couldn’t help but cast a sympathetic glance at Shi Qingluo.
She had actually offended her.
She would be in trouble.
The shopkeeper instantly had a headache.
He immediately smiled and greeted Fu Wenzheng. “Greetings, third imperial consort.”
Then, he gave Shi Qingluo a look. “Madam, let me prepare a new set for you.”
Shi Qingluo’s hair was tied up in a style for married women, so the shopkeeper addressed her like this.
Shi Qingluo did not expect her to be the third prince’s consort that her young husband had mentioned a few days ago.
She concluded that not only was she poisonous, but she also had a very unlikable personality.
No wonder the second prince seduced her but did not marry her back into the manor.
As expected, if you hate someone, you would give this fellow a bunch of problematic peers.
This would be halfway to success.
Seeing the shop owner’s gaze, Shi Qingluo did not want to make things difficult for him. “Alright, then please help me get another set.”
Who knew that although she didn’t mind, the lady beside her would not let her go.
Fu Wenzheng snorted coldly. “I want everything here. Send them to the third prince’s residence.”
Everyone present knew that the third imperial consort did not like Shi Qingluo and was deliberately making things difficult for her.
The shop owner was also speechless.
The third imperial consort had often caused trouble in their embroidery shop.
If they didn’t give in, she would get others to damage their shop.
Too bad, he didn’t have someone as powerful as those staying in the third prince’s residence or the marquise residence to back him up.
Thus, he looked at Shi Qingluo and suggested, “Madam, why don’t you come back tomorrow instead?”
Previously, all those who went against the third imperial consort didn’t have a good ending.
He was also kind-hearted to tell this little woman not to make a scene.
This would benefit everyone.
Shi Qingluo could see that the shopkeeper was being kind.
Coupled with the sympathetic gazes from the onlookers, she guessed that the third prince’s consort had probably done something similar in the past.
She looked at Fu Wenzheng and asked, “Did your family own this embroidery shop?”
Fu Wenzheng said arrogantly, “My family didn’t, but they have to sell me whatever I want to buy.”
Shi Qingluo asked again, “Then are you taking advantage of your status as the third prince’s consort to bully others?”
Fu Wenzheng sneered, “I am, so what?”
She had already thought it through.
As long as this woman dared to go against her wishes or argue with her, she would get others to slap her.
