Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 445 - 351: But Now She Has Vicious Thoughts of Killing Her Husband—How Can He Turn a Blind Eye!!
"Miss Ruan truly impressed us, making everyone admire her from the bottom of their hearts."
"I didn’t expect Mr. Li to agree to take you to the Capital City so quickly. It seems our days of success are just around the corner!"
He couldn’t help but rub his hands together, and added a reminder.
"This journey to the Capital City is on behalf of King Yan’s important task. You just need to follow Mr. Li’s instructions; don’t ask too many questions otherwise."
"Moreover, Mr. Li is the Prince’s adopted son, highly regarded. If, as a woman, you can gain the Prince’s favor, your future will be brilliantly promising. I’ll probably benefit from your connections too!"
Ruan Mian looked at his expression and couldn’t help but roll her eyes internally.
But outwardly, she responded courteously: "Rest assured, I know my limits."
As such, Qin Fu even thought about buying a large residence in the Capital City in the future.
In the following days, Qin Fu arranged for the weapons to be sent to Da Jing and confirmed with Ruan Mian how many more could be made on the spot once they arrived.
Meanwhile, she also called in Yun Xiu, bringing him along under the guise of being her brother.
Thus he could secretly communicate with his brothers.
Once Qin Fu had arranged everything, it was already the fifth day, and they officially set out for the Capital City.
They traveled humbly along the way, keeping a low profile, with Jingwei rations, appearing with few members, but there were quite a few soldiers in ambush behind the scenes.
On this point, Ruan Mian especially reminded Yun Xiu, to ensure no one discovered anything unusual.
They left Wenchang peacefully, heading southwards, with Yun Xiu appearing like an agile leopard, constantly aware of every movement around him.
Even the slightest rustle didn’t escape his eyes.
When passing through Runing City, Ruan Mian saw Manager Yi’s fruit store.
The preserved and fresh fruits there were all transported from Lady Wang’s orchard by the freight line.
Unexpectedly, business was so good.
Moreover, Ruan Mian had previously connected Lisi’s orchard and Manager Yi, and now Lisi’s orchard not only grew fruits but expanded to other fruit varieties, thriving successfully.
She smiled contentedly, and seeing this, Yun Xiu purposely went over to buy all the fruit from the shop, taking a bit of everything.
The seeds from the orchard all originated from her hands, nurtured with spiritual spring water, naturally making them fragrant and sweet. Even Li Ren and his entourage, traveling with them, bought quite a few.
Ruan Mian told them to buy freshly fermented goat milk from the grain shop next door, and she asked the shopkeeper for some ice cubes to make a simple iced fruit bowl.
In the sweltering heat, it was refreshing both physically and mentally.
That grain store was also under Manager Yi’s operations, and the iced fruit bowl was her method provided to Manager Yi for selling fruits.
Thus, Manager Yi always had an ice storage place in his cellar.
In winter, they specially saved the ice cubes, preserving them successfully through the year.
Li Ren had never tasted such fresh delicious fruits or this kind of fruit bowl with its novel way of eating, finding it unendingly delightful.
"Earlier I heard the attendant say these fruits are supplied from a fruit orchard near Wuheng. I had heard in the Eastern Border that during the famine, Wuheng not only grew large quantities of grain but those fruits were large and sweet, tastier than the small fruits from the Eastern Border."
"After tasting it today, the rumors hold true, it is indeed so!"
Ruan Mian watched him eat quite a bit until he couldn’t eat anymore, and she couldn’t help but laugh.
Over the past few days, she found Li Ren wasn’t like she initially thought.
She naturally assumed the adopted son of someone like King Yan, a typical villain, would be focused on rebellion and oppressing the common people.
But along the way, he showed concern for others’ well-being, even purchasing special robes plus simple jewelry in Runing City as a return gift to Ruan Mian after she shared the fruit bowl with him.
"Miss Mian, please don’t refuse, they’re not valuable, just more convenient for you to wear on the road."
Towards others, he wasn’t arrogant as one might expect from King Yan’s adopted son. Instead, he blended in, without distinction between high and low status.
Could there be more stories behind him?
