Chapter 243: Intimate Sister Shen
There was total silence in the darkness. After a few seconds, Miss Shen's soft and coquettish voice finally came, "You always say shocking things!"
Zira——
As she spoke, Shen Ruoyan lit the oil lamp with a flint and walked into Jiang Chengfeng's room. In the light of the oil lamp, Jiang Chengfeng could see Miss Shen's beautiful face in the dim light.
Jiang Chengfeng's heart was moved when he saw this, and he said with a smile: "Miss, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Shen Ruoyan raised her eyes, frowned slightly, and said angrily: "Why didn't you wash your face after you came back! Look at your face, it's as dirty as a little cat!"
Jiang Chengfeng sat down on the bed and sighed, "I'm so tired that I'm too lazy to move!"
"Excuse!" Shen Ruoyan's beautiful eyes rolled back. She stood up and went out to get a basin of hot water. She soaked a warm towel and handed it to him, asking him to wipe his face.
Jiang Chengfeng took the towel, wiped his face, and said with a chuckle: "Thank you for your hard work, Miss! I am very grateful!"
Shen Ruoyan smoothed her dress, sat down gracefully, rolled her eyes , and said, "It's fine if you act foolishly in front of me, but why do you act foolishly in front of outsiders? Today, you have offended Cai Xianglan badly. You have never been to the capital, so you don't know her influence in the capital! We haven't even been to the capital yet! We have already caused a big trouble!"
Jiang Chengfeng, who was pouring himself some hot water, widened his eyes, "You actually knew that?"
"In fact, my cousin told me the whole story after he came back! Let's not talk about the Prince of Liang for now. He has had ill intentions towards the Shen family for a long time, so it's normal for him to treat you like this today! However, Cai Xianglan is a big trouble. If you provoke her, when we go to the capital, she might ask her disciples to make things difficult for you! Alas, in fact, this matter, if you talk about it in detail, is all Miss Ye's fault!"
Jiang Chengfeng took a sip of warm boiled water and said with a wry smile, "What does it have to do with her?"
Shen Ruoyan snorted coldly: "If she hadn't insisted on taking you there, how could you have encountered such a bad thing? You even lied to me yesterday and said you might not go!"
Jiang Chengfeng touched his nose and thought, did I trick you? It's obvious that you didn't understand !
Sighing, Jiang Chengfeng said, "Actually, it has nothing to do with Miss Ye! According to my personality, if I meet this Cai Daguoxue, I will definitely confront her!"
Shen Ruoyan knew that Jiang Dazhu was not lying. Her eyes dimmed as she sighed, "They look down on farmers. In fact, we businessmen are not as good as farmers! The whole Northern Tang Kingdom is like this. You can't change it with just a few words. I don't know what to say to you. Where did your usual cleverness go!"
Jiang Chengfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "When encountering such a thing, any man with blood will do the same as me! This has nothing to do with cleverness!"
"Since I took over the heavy responsibility from my mother's shoulders, I have traveled all over the country and encountered so many people's contempt and humiliation that even I can't remember them all! If I was like you every time, how could I still be alive today?"
Thinking of the hardships she had endured in the past six years, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes: "Be patient for a while and you will have peace. Don't you understand this truth? Today, you won the fight and the scolding, but so what? Can it change anything? You can look in the bronze mirror now. How can you look like the high-spirited Jiang Dazhu in the mirror?"
"Before, I worked hard every day for the Shen family's business, and you persuaded me to learn to let go and enjoy life. I am working hard in this direction now, but you fell! Why is that?"
After listening to the words of this intimate sister Shen, Jiang Chengfeng suddenly felt that the fatigue of the day was swept away. He looked at Shen Ruoyan with tears in her eyes and smiled: "I thought you came to criticize me, but I didn't expect you to comfort me. I am very grateful!"
Shen Ruoyan's cheeks suddenly turned red. She turned her face away, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said firmly: "I don't want you to be grateful! You are right, I came to you to criticize you, to teach you a lesson, and don't cause trouble in the future!"
Jiang Chengfeng knew that Miss Shen had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so he nodded and smiled, "That Cai Daguoxue has talent but no moral integrity, he will definitely get his comeuppance someday! However, you just said that she has many powerful disciples, but are we the kind of soft persimmons that can be bullied by anyone? Obviously not!"
After saying this, Jiang Chengfeng actually remembered the middle-aged uncle he met at Lingyin Temple in Huazhou that day. He didn't know who this middle-aged uncle was! In addition, Old Man Tang who was hiding somewhere in Huayang City, he dared to guarantee that if he encountered any accident, Old Man Tang would definitely not stand idly by.
"Jiang Dazhu, now that things have come to this, I have to warn you!" Shen Ruoyan's face suddenly became serious, "You have provoked so many people, they will definitely blame the Shen family for everything, so you must not give up! If you dare to abandon the Shen family, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and will not let you go!"
I'm dizzy! I didn't say anything! Why are you so excited?
Jiang Chengfeng coughed dryly and smiled bitterly: "Miss, you are too rude! My contract with your Shen family is only for one year, and you actually want to tie me down for life?"
"Bah! Who said I'll tie you down for life?" Shen Ruoyan spat. "You've caused so much trouble, do you still want to stay out of it? If you don't solve these problems, do you want me to solve them? As for the contract you mentioned, after one year is up, you have to sign for ten years, no - you have to sign for fifty years!"
After all this time, it turns out this girl is trying to trick me into renewing my contract!
Jiang Chengfeng smiled secretly, not wanting to continue talking nonsense, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this! How is the Fang family cloth shop going?"
Speaking of this, Shen Ruoyan rolled her eyes at Jiang Chengfeng, and then said: "Everything is going according to the original plan! Also, if you are lazy and don't work today, you can't go out tomorrow, otherwise I will deduct one month's salary from you!"
After saying this, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but chuckle with her hands covering her mouth.
Hearing about the salary, Jiang Chengfeng slapped his forehead, stared at Shen Ruoyan and said with a chuckle: "Speaking of salary, Miss, shouldn't you give me the share of the money for perfume and soap?"
Shen Ruoyan nodded and said, "This month's net profit from perfume and soap totals 43,000 taels. According to our previous agreement, your share of the silver is 25,000 taels!"
"So little——" Jiang Chengfeng was a little dissatisfied. He looked at Shen Ruoyan and asked, "Miss, you are not going to make false reports, are you?"
"I'll tell you what's wrong with you!" Shen Ruoyan was so angry that she slapped the table. The oil lamp bounced up, fell to the ground and went out. The room was suddenly dark.
Shen Ruoyan screamed in surprise. The sudden darkness made her feel scared instinctively.
"Don't worry! I'm here!" Jiang Chengfeng took the opportunity to hold Shen Ruoyan's little hand and comforted her softly.
