Shengjing Noble

Chapter 681 I Want to See Her

Shen Ruchu was happy when he left Shengjing and went to Xuecheng.

After all, I can take my two children with me, so I don’t have to worry about the risk of being exposed.

But after arriving in Snow City, Fu Wuyang spent his time accompanying his two children and being busy in the military camp.

Logically speaking, there has been no war in recent years, so he should have a lot of free time.

But he said that he wanted to develop border trade and always found many excuses not to return to the palace. Even if he came back, he was only to accompany his two children.

Shen Ruchu was originally a spoiled young lady. She had endured it for several years for the sake of her two children and Fu Wuyang. Now that she was asked to live here forever, she felt more and more reluctant.

She even looked for Fu Wuyang every day, asking him to accompany her back to Shengjing to visit relatives.

Now that she thinks about it, she probably heard the news that Su Lanyin was not in Shengjing at that time.

Before Fu Wuyang left, he signed a military order and was not allowed to return to Beijing without an imperial edict.

This is a guarantee for the new emperor, and it is also the key to whether the emperor is afraid of the military power in his hands.

There was no way he could go back.

Later, Shen Ruchu became acquainted with some noble ladies in Xuecheng, and developed a habit of indulgence and enjoyment, no longer caring about the lives of his two children.

Fu Wuyang didn't want to care about her, but that day, she actually lost her two children while playing cards.

Fortunately, there were spies throughout the city who caught the human trafficker in time and rescued the two children, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

From then on, Fu Wuyang imprisoned Shen Ruchu in the smallest room in the West Garden of the palace.

Within two years, Shen Ruchu went crazy.

After hearing these things, Fu Mingchuan could only sigh that time passes by and everyone has their own destiny.

"Don't worry, uncle. I will treat these two children as my own."

"Thank you!"

Fu Wuyang turned and left the imperial study.

The two children were standing in the yard waiting for him.

When they saw their father coming out, they trotted over and hugged one of his legs.

"Father!"

"Father, give me a hug!"

Fu Wuyang squatted down and held the two children in his arms.

"Lan'er, Yin'er, father is going to go somewhere, you two can stay in the palace for a while, okay?"

"Where is father going?" Fu Mulan hurriedly pulled his sleeve, her eyes full of nervousness.

Fu Muyin looked confused and asked with red eyes: "Father doesn't want me and my brother anymore?"

"Of course not." Fu Wuyang explained, "Father just wants to help you find mother back."

"Isn't mother in Snow City?" Fu Mulan asked puzzledly.

"That's not your mother. Your mother... She has gone to an unknown place. Father wants to find her back. Do you want to see her?"

Fu Muyin nodded: "Yes! Yinyin wants to see mother!"

Fu Mulan pouted stubbornly: "If she doesn't want to see us, why hasn't she come to see us all these years?"

"She...has her own life. Maybe it's time to get her back."

"If Father goes to look for her, will she come back?"

"uncertain."

"Then why are we looking for her? She doesn't want us, and my sister and I don't want her either!"

Fu Mulan puffed up her cheeks angrily, looking like a meat bun.

"She didn't abandon you. Be good. Wait until I find her and come back, and then you can ask her in person, okay?"

Fu Muyin nodded obediently: "Okay! Father, go and find it quickly. You must find it as soon as possible!"

"Well, don't worry."

Fu Wuyang stood up, said something to the palace servants beside him, and finally looked at the two children reluctantly, then walked towards the palace gate resolutely.

From then on, Fu Wuyang embarked on a journey to find Su Lanyin. As to whether he found her or not is another story.

……

Ten years later.

Quanzhou, Wenxiang Pavilion.

"Madam, what's wrong with your spices? Aren't you kidding me? I took them home and saw that they were all broken!"

A burly woman slammed a piece of rouge on the counter and shouted at the top of her voice, attracting a lot of people's attention.

People coming and going in the store all looked sideways.

At the counter, the girl was checking the bills with her back to the counter. When she heard the voice, she turned around slowly.

It was a beautiful, delicate and gentle face, with a faint smile between her eyebrows.

She speaks softly, dignified and elegant.

"Sir, please be patient. I will ask someone to check it right away." She comforted the customer first, then looked to the side. Even though she raised her voice, it was still gentle. "Aunt Cuizhu, can you help this customer find the shipping record?"

"Okay, Miss, please wait a moment."

Cuizhu came out from behind holding a notebook. More than ten years had passed, but her face no longer had the youthfulness and immaturity of the past, but was now dressed like a mature woman.

She walked to the front and asked, "Excuse me, sir, what is your name and when did you buy the rouge cream?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be confused and said, "I...I forgot!"

Cuizhu put her hands on her hips and sneered, "You forgot? You can't find the shipping record. That doesn't mean it was sold from our store. Sorry, go back and think about it."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, looking as if he didn't want to be served.

The woman didn't achieve her goal, and immediately became angry and slammed the counter and started yelling, "Okay, you are really a scam shop. I spent one or two silver coins to buy rouge, but it was broken and you refused to replace it. Your attitude is so abominable!"

"While talking, he started to make a scene at other customers: "Don't buy here, leave now, these are all wicked boss ladies! They are all trying to rip you off, why not go to the Baihua Building across the street, the rouge there is much better than here!"

After hearing this, Fu Muyin immediately understood that this person was definitely sent by the opposite side to cause trouble.

Not long ago, a Baihualou opened opposite Wenxiang Pavilion, also selling rouge and powder.

However, it is naturally no match for the Lu family's time-honored brand.

But they didn't expect that Baihualou would arbitrarily lower prices, engage in malicious competition, and even slander Wenxiang Pavilion behind their backs.

Fortunately, Lu Wanjun was very clever and took the opportunity to launch several low-cost rouge and powder products, and also gave some classic but expensive products for free to the mistresses of the richest families in Quanzhou City.

Not only did he win over the common people, but he also established himself among the circles of noble ladies.

This really pissed off Baihualou, so that's why this happened today.

This is the time when there are the most customers. If it is not handled properly, it is likely to affect word of mouth.

Fu Muyin smiled lightly, walked forward and said, "Don't be impatient, my guest. Let me see your rouge first."

The woman threw her rouge on the table with a cold face and crossed her arms with disdain: "Hurry up and pay the money, otherwise I will go to the government to sue you. What cheap rubbish you sell! It's far inferior to the Baihua Tower across the street!"

Cuizhu couldn't stand her temper any longer. Just as she was about to explode, she heard Fu Muyin say in a gentle tone, "This is indeed the rouge from our store."
