Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 305 - 297: She Didn’t Even Have Time to React!!
The Commandery Princess watched her take it, feeling inexplicably cheerful.
As long as Father receives this letter, these people in Wen Yuan will definitely meet a bad end!!
They think that once she leaves the fiefdom, she is just a powerless woman, but no matter what, she is a dignified daughter of the Prince!!
What is Chen Bozong worth? And what is Wen Yuan worth?!
Those silvers, those stolen goods, will eventually fall into her hands, and when the time comes, she’ll dismantle Wen Yuan into pieces, making him regret provoking her even on the Yellow Spring Road.
However, before she could finish imagining these satisfying events, she suddenly felt a chill!
Immediately followed by a violent stabbing pain, her hands clamped tightly around her neck, helplessly watching as countless blood gushed out.
And Ruan Mian, holding a dagger, slashed her throat without changing her expression.
She didn’t even have time to react!!
The Commandery Princess widened her eyes, staring at her incredulously, opening her mouth without being able to utter a word.
After falling painfully to the ground, she weakly managed to ask: "Why...?" She saved her! Why kill her then!?
She was the fool to trust that Ruan Mian!
But it was too late, Ruan Mian only looked at her coldly, reminding her before leaving to repent before she died.
"Behind this stab of mine are the silent screams of those women who perished at your hands."
She took the Commandery Princess’s token and left the pit without hesitation.
All these twisting and turning days were just to obtain this thing.
With this item, Prince Shuo would surely be concerned about the mysteriously disappeared assets, and the deaths of Wen Yuan and Chen Bozong would make him wary of King Yan’s faction.
Most importantly, once he learns his beloved daughter died due to the coercion of people like Wen Yuan and became her weapon, it will all fall into place.
Ruan Mian carefully stored the item and returned to the inn.
Manager Yi had just finished discussing matters with Aunt and was about to leave when he encountered Ruan Mian returning.
Ruan Mian invited him into the private room, guessing that he probably had matters to discuss, she politely let Manager Yi speak directly.
Manager Yi did not beat around the bush, and with a smile said: "With Wen Yuan dead, our Runing City is saved. It’s all thanks to Miss Ruan’s intervention, which truly earns my utmost admiration."
"Earlier, Mrs. Ruan told me about the food issue, mentioning that even in such severe cold and frost, Miss Ruan managed to cultivate grains with substantial yield."
Ruan Mian nodded, knowing she had cooperated with Manager Yi for a long time, and that he was not a shady businessman; thus, she straightforwardly proceeded.
Then she took out a brush and ink, writing a contract in front of Manager Yi.
"I can guarantee the grain yield, and if you trust me, Manager, we can collaborate on transporting the grain."
"Not just now, ensuring food supply under these circumstances, but every year henceforth, I have grain to supply, and if I recall correctly, didn’t Manager Yi previously own a flour and noodle shop? Is it still open?"
Manager Yi had indeed planned this, and without even looking at the contract, he decisively signed his name!
Ruan Mian jokingly teased: "Manager, aren’t you worried about the terms of the contract? Aren’t you afraid I might trick you out of your silver coins?"
Manager Yi laughed heartily, confidently stated: "I am well aware of who Miss Ruan is, more than anyone else, I trust you absolutely!"
"To have Miss Ruan offer me this business opportunity is an honor beyond measure! That noodle shop, faced with imminent food shortage, lost its supply channels."
"If I can receive Miss Ruan’s support, I will maintain my original intention, ensuring that all city civilians can eat affordable and sufficient food."
"Each month I will dispatch my transportation team to deliver duck feathers to Miss Ruan, and perhaps transport the grain on the way?"
Ruan Mian also pressed her handprint onto the contract, completing the deal with Manager Yi.
After finishing this task, Aunt came into the room: "Mianmian, Shaoxi and I are going to retrieve the women captured. Will you come with us?"
Back then, several brothel women were innocently arrested by Wen Yuan, suffering in prison, enduring pain and bearing heavy burdens, all to incite public anger.
Now that Wen Yuan’s power has dissipated, Aunt has already paid to get them out of prison.
They were innocent to start with, and for those prison government officers, these women were more trouble than they were worth, since not releasing them would keep the aggrieved convicts outside protesting.
Now, with someone willing to pay, they couldn’t wait to let the women go.
Ruan Mian, Aunt, and Shaoxi personally brought a carriage to fetch them.
They saw Xu Mo’er, beaten to the point where she couldn’t even stand, relying on two women beside her to barely move.
Aunt saw her fingers swollen like steamed buns, a wave of sympathy swept over her heart, and she took a deep breath.
She hurriedly went ahead to settle her, and the other women also boarded the carriage.
Upon inquiry, they learned Xu Mo’er had borne all the torture to protect the women beside her.
In her moment of crisis, she showed such integrity that Aunt couldn’t help but be moved.
"Miss Xu, you’re a woman yourself, why take the blame alone?"
Actually, it was thanks to Xu Mo’er’s vigorous retaliation that day, the more miserable she was, the more it revealed the brutality of the government officers, inciting rage among the poor people served porridge nearby.
She painfully pulled at the corners of her mouth, looking at Ruan Mian: "I am unharmed, as long as the outcome is good, everything was worth it."
"I heard...LORD Wen died outrightly horrifically, knowing that comforts whatever suffering I have endured."
Shaoxi poured a cup of water from the flask for the women, encouraging them: "Yes, now the darkness has passed, you have changed your destinies with your own hands."
At this moment, the women didn’t understand the meaning behind these words, but when the carriage stopped outside the brothel, and after disembarking did they realize, Yanli Courtyard was no longer the Yanli Courtyard of before!
It had taken on a new appearance, even the signboard was changed to Xinrong Health Care Center.
Xu Mo’er and the ladies still didn’t know what had happened, their faces filled with confusion as they looked at Ruan Mian and others: "Where...did Yanli Courtyard go? Did Madam and the others also get taken by Mr. Wen..."
Before she finished speaking, Nanny Lou walked out with the former sisters to greet them.
"From now on, we can live openly and with dignity, come and see!"
Not only had the outside changed, but inside Yanli Courtyard had also transformed.
Under Aunt’s remodeling, it had become a legitimate entertainment and leisure venue.
Although it hadn’t officially opened yet, as long as the situation in the city stabilized and the grain shortage issue was alleviated, the health center was bound to open.
Precisely because before its opening, Ruan Mian and Aunt prepared the groundwork for its launch.
That work was to continue distributing food.
This grain was Ruan Mian’s supply taken from her space, officially claimed to be transported from Wuheng.
Nowadays, the news of Wuheng having grain has spread, and many people are aware.
They had also prepared the food distribution procedure, ready for the next morning to continue the heat from the free porridge distribution in the porridge stalls.
