The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 517 Finale (26)

But Jiang Wantang had dealt with them before, and knew that these people were more or less backed by government officials, which was why they dared to do business so arrogantly and unscrupulously.

That was why she had only given some minor punishments before opening the business, and was too lazy to bother with these local tyrants.

So, their shop is now closed down...

Thinking of this, Jiang Wantang raised his eyes and looked at Ji Wuyuan beside him.

It was a huge event in this small town that this group of local tyrants could seal off all the shops overnight, but for Ji Wuyuan, it was just a matter of saying a word.

Jiang Wantang raised her head slightly and looked at him straight in the eyes.

Ji Wuyuan sensed something and looked back sideways.

Jiang Wantang raised the corners of her lips slightly, and a bright smile appeared in her eyes, which was even gentler than the warm March sun at this moment.

She said: "A Yuan..."

"This move... is very much to my liking."

Ji Wuyuan smiled, his eyebrows and eyes tinged with tenderness: "Is it really to your liking?"

Jiang Wantang nodded vigorously.

Ji Wuyuan's smile deepened, his eyes slightly raised, his gentle eyes filled with tiny glints of light, and he said in a gentle and persuasive manner: "Then...can I ask Tang'er for a reward?"

Jiang Wantang tilted her head to look at him, the pearl hairpin in her hair swaying softly, a crisp and pleasant sound. She asked with a smile, "What's the reward?"

Ji Wuyuan suddenly leaned forward, his warm breath brushing against her ear: "I want to hear Tang'er... call me 'husband'."

Jiang Wantang's cheeks flushed, but she pretended to be calm and looked away: "...Change it."

Ji Wuyuan looked at her red ears, his eyes darkening. He raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of her head, his fingertips running through her soft hair with a hint of doting. Then, he lowered his head and placed a kiss on her lips, so clean without a trace of desire.

Jiang Wantang's eyes were dazed. Before she could recover from the sudden kiss, she saw him smile. His smile was harmless and his tone was pure and innocent: "Tang'er screamed a lot last night..."

Jiang Wantang suddenly felt a surge of heat rushing up her cheeks. Her already stunning face instantly turned red as if blood was dripping out. Even the cinnabar teardrop mole at the end of her eye became scorching red.

She glared at the man in front of her in shame and anger, her eyes sparkling with anger: "You...you lecher!"

"Pervert!"

Ji Wuyuan was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled softly and leaned close to her blushing earlobe, saying in a lingering tone, "Tang'er was wrong..."

"I kiss my own wife, what's wrong with that?"

Jiang Wantang ran upstairs with a blushing face.

Ji Wuyuan followed behind, chuckling and reminding, "Madam, slow down and watch your step."

The two of them spent half a day to take care of all the matters concerning the teahouse, clinic and drug store.

The teahouse was handed over to the ladies in charge, while the clinic and the drugstore were handed over to Madam Su.

Apart from the wages distributed to the ladies, the rest of the profits earned by the teahouse will be used to help those poor women like them who are homeless and have nowhere to rely on.

In the afternoon, the teahouse stopped accepting customers for half a day. Jiang Wantang held a banquet in the building to say goodbye to everyone.

After just a few months of getting along, these women treated her like a living Bodhisattva and respected her very much.

They had a rough first half of their lives, but because of Jiang Wantang's appearance, they now have such a stable and worry-free life.

If it weren't for Jiang Wantang, they would have died of starvation, illness, or been bullied to death on the streets.

Therefore, upon hearing the news that she was about to leave, the girls in the building couldn't help but tear up.

Some ladies clutched their handkerchiefs and wiped away tears, while others forced smiles and kept saying words of blessing...

Jiang Wantang was also deeply moved. Standing in the middle of the restaurant, she raised her hand and held up a cup of warm tea. She said in a loud voice, "All good things must come to an end. Today, I am here, offering tea instead of wine, to wish all the ladies—from now on, the clouds will clear and the moon will appear, and the road ahead will be filled with spring and blossoms!"

After saying that, he raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp.

Everyone shouted in agreement.

However, Ji Wuyuan was sitting in a private room on the second floor handling business and did not appear to disturb their final farewell.

After the banquet, when Jiang Wantang and Ji Wuyuan left the teahouse, a group of girls came out to see them off.

They prepared a large package full of snacks and food for Jiang Wantang.

Jiang Wantang hadn't told them her departure date, so everyone understood that she didn't want them to come and see her off. She just wanted to leave quietly, just like she had come...

Perhaps because he was reluctant to leave, or perhaps because he was infected by the girls' emotions, when he returned to the courtyard, Jiang Wantang sat quietly in the yard, feeling depressed and looking unhappy.

Ji Wuyuan understood her emotions. He lifted his shirt and leaned over to half-bend his knees in front of her. His warm palm wrapped around her slightly cold hand, and the warmth spread...

"Tang'er, are you reluctant to leave?" His voice was low and gentle, warmer than the temperature of his palm: "Next year, when the child is born, I will accompany you to revisit the old place and visit them, okay?"

Jiang Wantang slightly clenched her fingertips and gripped his warm palm even tighter.

She raised her eyes and looked into the soft light in Ji Wuyuan's eyes, and suddenly felt that the emptiness in her heart was filled up little by little.

Jiang Wantang raised the corners of her lips slightly, a gentle smile spread across her eyes, and she called out "A Yuan..."

The last note dissipated in the night wind, like a petal falling gently from a tree.

"It's not that I'm reluctant to leave, but the silence after the hustle and bustle inevitably makes people feel melancholy."

Ji Wuyuan understood what she meant and her feelings. He stood up and hugged her, saying seriously, "It's okay. I will always be with Tang'er..."

"In this life, we will never be separated again."

The moonlight was like water, and in the quiet courtyard, the two of them hugged each other tightly.

......

Then, in just two days, Ji Wuyuan arranged everything for returning to the palace.

The day before returning to Beijing.

Jiang Wantang sat under the peach tree in the courtyard, drinking tea. On the stone table in front of her was a small box containing the land deeds, the title deed to the land, the title deed to the small courtyard, and some small banknotes..."

Cui Er, who was standing in front of her, looked at these things and asked anxiously, "Miss, what are you doing..."

Jiang Wantang put down the teacup and said softly, "These are all for you."

Cui'er's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard this. She knelt down at Jiang Wantang's feet, hugged her legs, and burst into tears: "Miss, are you going to abandon Cui'er?!"

"Miss, I don't want these. You saved Cui'er in the beginning. Cui'er only wants to be by your side and serve you for the rest of her life!"

After saying that, she looked up at Jiang Wantang with tears in her eyes and snot running down her face.

Jiang Wantang sighed, helped her up, and comforted her, "Silly girl, it's not that I don't want you, it's just..."
