Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 155 - 153: The Lady Was Frightened—She May Not Find Me at the Pharmacy Again
"Madam, what my aunt said is indeed true. Anyone who has bought medicine from afar knows how outrageous the prices at Mr. Wang’s shop are."
The Princess Consort usually only purchased the rouge and powder she liked, not medicinal materials, which she certainly had never handled herself.
Naturally, not knowing the exact prices is normal.
She wanted to ask more, but Wang the Second picked up a chair and hurled it in their direction!
Ruan Mian didn’t say a word and immediately dragged the Princess Consort out of the shop.
She didn’t intervene to stop them from wrecking the shop, letting the group vent their anger inside. Only her aunt, with the servant and Manager Gu, cried and shouted at the door, utterly miserable.
Once Ruan Mian had escorted the Princess Consort away from those unreasonable people, she quickly spoke.
"Madam, you were frightened. I’m afraid you won’t find me here next time you come to the medicine shop. If you lack anything, you can go to Manager Lin."
"You’re just letting them ruin your shop? That medicine shop hasn’t been open for long, has it?"
Ruan Mian feigned helplessness: "Frankly speaking, Madam, I’m just a refugee who escaped here to rely on my aunt. We nieces and aunt make small trades to sustain ourselves, and we saved some money to open the medicine shop, but... Mr. Wang holds tremendous power, and we cannot confront them directly."
"The Wang Family is truly audacious!!! Liao Lie’s Royal Family doesn’t even bear the surname Wang!!"
"Miss Ruan, don’t be anxious. I will surely seek justice for you. In the coming days, just calmly tidy up your shop and wait to reopen."
After saying this, she instructed the servants beside her to prepare the carriage, as the medicine shop was already in ruins.
Outside the shop, crowds gathered to watch the spectacle. Her eldest aunt, seeing the shop devastated, genuinely burst into tears.
"Mrs. Wang, you despicable beings! Without a care for the law, you’ve wrecked our shop, I’ll definitely not let you off!!"
Wang the Second stroked his goat beard, sneering.
His face was filled with disdain and contempt: "What are you not letting me off for? Such bold words! If it weren’t for your age and faded beauty, I..."
"Faded beauty? How dare you insult an old lady as faded and past her prime?! You bastard, your whole family is faded and past their prime, you worthless scum! Don’t you have the shame to take a good look at yourself, a monkey-faced scheming merchant, making those ill-gotten gains? Aren’t you afraid that vengeful spirits will come for you at night?!"
"You... You wretched woman, with that sharp tongue of yours, watch as I beat you to death!" Enraged by these words, Wang the Second raised his hand ready to strike.
Just then, her eldest aunt saw the government officer approaching and fell to the ground weak and in pain.
"Have mercy, sir, have mercy..."
"Stop!"
The government officer barked angrily, stopping Wang the Second.
But Wang the Second casually spoke a few words, and the officers’ expressions changed.
"So it’s Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, let’s let this matter go. Look at all the people watching, it’s not very good."
Wang the Second thought since the wrecking was complete, staying longer would only make people gossip.
He waved his hands and swaggered out of the shop.
After the satisfying vandalism, he realized this method was excellent.
Glancing at his elder brother, he said triumphantly, "See, instead of wasting time and silver coins to play tricks on a bunch of wastes, it’s far more gratifying to directly smash her shop! I’ll handle the government office."
His complete disregard for others as he exited was enough to suffocate the anger of her eldest aunt.
"Mianmian!! Are we just letting him go? It’s difficult even to cut him with a knife to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Seeing her aunt’s gritted teeth, Ruan Mian reassured her by patting her shoulder, "Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, we don’t have to tidy up this shop, let him come and tidy it for us himself."
"Didn’t Aunt say she wanted to cut him with a knife? I’ll hand you the knife then." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Aunt’s eyebrows twitched: "Did Mianmian persuade the Princess Consort?"
"Seeing Aunt’s efforts just now, how could the Princess Consort bear it? Those Wang Brothers are provoking trouble right under imperial power, we need not do much, naturally, someone will handle them." They just helped stir the wave.
Earlier, Ruan Mian had asked her aunt to cry outside, making the matter widely known was optimal.
At the same time, the Man Tu Princess Consort had already briskly returned to her residence.
She ordinarily had a gentle disposition, seldom was she this enraged.
This perplexed that Prince greatly.
"Madam, what happened?"
The Princess Consort slapped the table and asked directly: "Prince, we have moved to the garrison for years, yet I didn’t know you’re considered a nobody outside."
If others said so, heads would surely roll.
But everyone knew the Mantu Prince deeply loved the Princess Consort. The couple, with a decade of affection, had long been a conjugal ideal in Liao Lie.
The Prince listened hurriedly and coaxed, "Who bullied you? They don’t regard me at all?"
The Princess Consort paused to calm down and recounted the events at the medicine shop.
But before she finished speaking, the Prince suddenly erupted in fury!
"What? They dared to tease you?! Outrageous!! Guards!"
This time their roles switched, and the Princess Consort quickly persuaded him.
"Prince, calm down. Those few words didn’t bother me much. I just felt it outrageous that they did such things in daylight, blatantly ignoring royal authority."
"You govern this domain, the garrison though a border city, is a territory Prince focuses on governing. With such incidents happening under Prince’s jurisdiction, why not think more about the people behind those two brothers?"
"Such acts certainly haven’t grown bold overnight; they must have oppressed civilians for a long time, monopolizing even vital medicinal materials. This garrison isn’t as simple as you think, Prince."
Man Tu Prince was already livid, his eyes cold, resembling a blade gleaming with chill.
Gnashing his teeth, he regained some calm under the Princess Consort’s continuous persuasion.
"Summon Lord Wang for me!"
Those Wang brothers were City Lord’s two nephews.
Nightfall.
The Wang Brothers clutching wine jars emerged from Baihua Building, living in luxury. Even when returning home, each had two singers in their arms.
Teasing and bragging: "Throughout the garrison, medicine shops and clinics, it’s all under our jurisdiction! Today, those reckless foreigners dared to challenge us? That’s a dead-end road for them!"
Amid laughter, a pair of black boots suddenly kicked straight to Wang the Second’s face!
With a scream, Wang the Second instantly sobered, glanced angrily, and promptly became compliant.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
Saying this, he noticed uncle covered in bruises, instantly enraged, cursing!
"Uncle, how’s your face like this? Who was so bold to lay hands on you?!"
"You’re worthless!"
Saying this, Lord Wang slapped him out cold.
"Uncle, what happened?"
Beside him, Wang the Elder also sobered up, urgently asking aloud.
This inquiry made matters worse; Lord Wang then kicked him over.
