Chapter 523 Retribution

"Wait a little longer." Shen Shuyi said.

The man couldn't help but frowned: "But now many people can't stand it anymore. There are more and more people on the streets and in the dilapidated temples these days."

Shen Shuyi said: "You can ask my uncle to light charcoal fires for heating in several fixed nunneries, temples, and medicine shops in Beijing. Each person can only enter and exit once a day."

The man responded, "Yes."

"In addition, we can select a few shops under the name of the Marquisate, recruit more workers, and promise to settle the bill with coal and grain."

"Yes."

Shen Shuyi said again: "Let the neighbors burn charcoal together, and share it with several families to reduce the use of charcoal to a minimum."

The man wrote down the notes one by one, then mounted his horse and rode away.

Shen Shuyi sighed lightly, with a look of melancholy in his eyes.

I don’t know if there will be fewer deaths in this life?

I just hope that the people can get through this year safely...

Jin Zhu looked at Shen Shuyi's expression and couldn't help but ask, "Miss, is it serious?"

Shen Shuyi nodded: "Yes, the consumption of charcoal is too large, and the surrounding cities have also been affected by the heavy snow. The prices of food and cloth will also rise."

"Why do we have to wait for a while for the charcoal we stored?" Jinzhu continued to ask.

Shen Shuyi gently touched her head and said, "Right now, the wealthy and powerful families still have spare capacity and are hoarding charcoal. When their charcoal is almost gone, we will start selling it. This way, more people can buy charcoal."

Otherwise, if they all rush in, how much will be left for ordinary people?

Jinzhu understood and nodded: "That's the truth."

After all, charcoal is different from other things. Everyone knows that spring will always come. Even if you buy it early and think you have spent more money, you will not continue to stockpile charcoal later. After all, no one knows what the situation will be like next winter.

Besides, it is not easy to store the charcoal for a year.

As soon as Shen Shuyi entered the Shen Mansion, a figure pounced on him.

Fortunately, Qin Xin reacted quickly and kicked him away. When she saw who it was, Qin Xin couldn't help but touch her nose and retreated behind Shen Shuyi.

Qin Xuerong fell down in the snow, looking like she had aged ten years. There was no trace of her former sophistication and glamour.

"Shen Shuyi, I will kill you! I will kill you!!!"

"It's you, isn't it? It's you who harmed my sister Yu!"

She had just learned about Shen Jingyu's situation not long ago, and for a moment, she felt like the world had collapsed.

How could her daughter, whom she had placed the highest hopes on, turn out to be neither human nor ghost, and become the laughing stock of the capital!

Shen Shuyi's eyes were cold: "Mother's hysteria has come back again."

Shen Jingchuan didn't take her to the palace banquet this time because he was worried that she might get into trouble, so she had to hear everything she wanted to know from other people.

Qin Xuerong could no longer control herself until she heard that Shen Jingyu had no chance of becoming the Eighth Prince's Consort.

"Come here, send mother back to her room, and send someone to report to father that mother is not in her right mind. If this continues, it may affect my second brother's exam this autumn."

The servants in the mansion looked at each other, and soon someone tactfully made a choice.

At this moment, Qin Xuerong suddenly broke free from the hands of the two maids and rushed towards Shen Shuyi again.

The nanny didn't dare to use too much force, so Qin Xuerong didn't have to put in too much effort.

Jinzhu and Yuping immediately stood in front of Shen Shuyi.

Qin Xuerong was stopped one meter in front of Shen Shuyi, her eyes were about to burst, and she sneered: "Shen Shuyi, do you think you won?"

"I'm telling you, if Zhao Derong had been defeated by me, you wouldn't have had the last laugh!"

Hearing this, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but laugh.

"As a mother, I will never tell this secret."

Qin Xuerong was stunned for a moment and murmured, "You know? You knew it a long time ago?"

Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were cold, and she said word by word, "Yes, I know. Otherwise, why do you think the five of you have suffered retribution today?"

"Oh no, it's the mother and her two children. My second brother still has a promising future. I will let my mother live well. Let's see what will happen to your two pairs of children in the end."

Qin Xuerong's eyes were filled with fear, and she staggered back a step.

Her eyes were red and watery.

she knows?

She actually knew?

She thought she had been so proud for so long, and this news was enough to make her angry and lose her composure.

But she didn't expect that Shen Shuyi already knew...

Qin Xuerong choked up and said slowly, "Don't you want to know how your mother died?"

Shen Shu smiled nonchalantly: "Dead is dead, I don't have to get to the bottom of it, I just want to know that you are the culprit, and I just want to avenge her, that's enough."

The girl's voice was cold and without any emotion.

Qin Xuerong's legs went weak and she fell to the ground!

Qin Xuerong was imprisoned in Ruixueyuan by Shen Jingchuan. It is said that Shen Jingchuan had ordered that no one was allowed to enter or leave without his permission.

But in the end, Qin Xuerong regained some sanity at the last moment.

Just because they had lived an easy life for many years, why couldn't he sympathize with her difficulties? Just because Shen Jingyu had experienced such a thing, how could she, as a mother, remain calm?

She did not accuse Shen Shuyi of anything anymore, and became lonely and quiet.

Shen Jingchuan sighed, and felt upset when he thought of his daughter Shen Jingyu. After all, he only sent two trusted maids to follow Qin Xuerong and keep an eye on her movements to prevent her from causing trouble again.

On the other side, Princess Guining’s Mansion.

After having sex with a handsome, fair-faced young man, Princess Guining climbed up from the couch, wearing a gauze.

The floor heating in the room was burning very hot, filling the room with warmth and luxury.

Xiao Mengxi, with her nails painted red, picked up a grape and put it in her mouth. Her almond eyes were full of affection, her cheeks were flushed, her eyebrows and eyes were full of charm, but there was also a bit of the arrogance and sharpness of a superior.

"Who did you say wanted to see me just now?" Xiao Mengxi raised her eyes and glanced at the maid beside her with a lazy expression.

The maid thought for a moment and said, "It's a strange man wearing a black cloak and a big bamboo hat on his head. He said his surname is Shen."

Xiao Mengxi narrowed her eyes: "Shen Jingyu?"

Her lips were bright red, with a hint of playfulness.

After all, she witnessed with her own eyes what happened to Shen Jingyu in Showa Garden.

Now, I didn't expect that the Shen family's eldest daughter, who had suffered a complete defeat, would come to me.

"Let her in."

She wanted to see what she wanted to do by looking for her.

Not long after, Shen Jingyu, who was completely covered in a cloak with only a pair of eyes showing, appeared in front of Princess Guining.

The warmth in the room made Shen Jingyu resist instinctively, but she forced herself to remain calm and looked at the beautiful woman in front of her.

Xiao Mengxi smiled and said, "Why would Miss Shen want to come and see me?"

Shen Jingyu's eyes were exposed, and she looked directly at Xiao Mengxi and said, "This servant wants to ask the princess for protection. Of course, I also have a plan that may help the young master."
