Shengjing Noble

Chapter 341 Even more difficult

Ye Lang was a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. He got up from the ground and didn't dare to rush forward again, but he still refused to give in.

"Anyway, we don't admit it! This is simply a lie. I'm going to report it to the authorities!"

The last time they were caught selling fake medicine, it was because they bribed the county magistrate. This time, as long as they pay enough money, fairness will still be on their side.

But they didn’t know that as early as the next day after selling the fake medicine, Kang Chenxi had already gone to the government office with a box of "Kidney Nourishing Pills".

Although the county magistrate was not an honest official, he was not a corrupt and ruthless official either.

For small matters like this, he would favor whoever delivers the right gift.

Having experienced the magic of the "Kidney Nourishing Pill", he naturally looked forward to this thing and did not dare to offend Ye Xi again.

Therefore, Kang Chenxi said disdainfully: "Okay, even if you don't report it to the police, I will! Someone come!"

"Here!" the servant stepped forward.

"Go, report to the authorities and ask them to come over."

The servant was a member of the Ye family, so he naturally obeyed the father and son of the Ye family. He looked up timidly, and when he saw Ye Lang nod, he quickly turned and ran to the yamen.

Not long after, officials came to the door.

When the Ye family father and son saw this, they thought that someone was backing them up, and their arrogance immediately returned.

"Humph, let's see how you can bully us now!"

Ye Lang ran over and said with a humble look on his face: "Captain, you've come at the right time. Quickly arrest that damned girl Ye Xi and teach her a lesson. She even dared to kick my father and me out of the house. This is really outrageous..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the officer removing the handcuffs from his waist.

Thinking that the person was trying to catch Ye Xi, Ye Lang quickly pointed his finger and said, "It's her..."

But in the next second, the heavy and cold shackles passed through his raised wrists and locked onto his hands.

"Eh? Sir, what are you doing?"

Ye Lang was stunned and confused.

The officer didn't waste time talking to him. He quickly handcuffed his other hand and said, "I've heard your servant explain the whole story on the way here. In short, it was you and your son who refused to abide by the terms of the bet. If that's the case, then it's a breach of contract and you should be punished according to the law!"

After saying that, he winked and the constable next to him went up and handcuffed Mr. Ye as well.

The father and son were stunned.

"No... Sir, this is not why we asked you to come here!"

"Yeah, how can you torture us so easily? You should have arrested that naughty girl..."

"Shut up!"

The officer shouted loudly.

"Shandetang, founded by Shopkeeper Ye, is a model of tax payment in Ze County. How dare you two tax evaders accuse them? Come with me, I have other accounts to settle with you!"

After saying this, amid the quarrel between the Ye family father and son, the people from the yamen forcibly took them away.

Er Genzi finally regained his peace of mind, and the matter finally came to an end.

Ye Xi looked at the document in his hand, his legs softened and he sat down on the chair, unable to hold on any longer.

Her eyes were filled with tears, and her heart was filled with a myriad of grievances that wanted to burst out, but she told herself that the others were still there and she had to hold it in.

Kang Chenxi touched her head and whispered to comfort her: "You are already very brave, and the road ahead will get better and better."

It was just a sentence, but it completely broke down Ye Xi's defenses.

She covered her face and cried bitterly, her tears filled with the sadness and breakdown of these years.

Only she herself knows how difficult it has been along the way, and others cannot empathize with her.

But even so, she wanted to have someone to rely on, someone to talk to, someone to walk side by side with and move forward together.

But none of them happened. She was the only one who faced all the difficulties, pains and hardships.

"I'm so tired... I'm really tired..."

She choked with sobs, which made people feel distressed.

Kang Chenxi remained silent. He just gently held her in his arms and patted her back, again and again, comforting her in this way.

Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang left silently and closed the door for them.

In the yard, the two stood side by side, looking up at the bright sunshine.

"Life is difficult, and being a woman is even more difficult."

Su Lanyin knew very well how difficult it was and expressed her feelings from the bottom of her heart.

Fu Wuyang looked back at her and asked softly, "How come it's not difficult?"

She frowned slightly, as if thinking seriously, and then said: "When it becomes a normal thing for women to sit at the table to eat, read and write, and make achievements, it may not be too difficult."

This world is unfair to women. Even their blood relatives call them "money-losing goods". They can be sold like commodities for profit at any time and anywhere. What dignity and freedom do they have?

A big part of the reason why Lu Wanjun's business was flourishing in Shengjing was because of her grandfather's support behind the scenes.

If it weren't for the support of the Lu family, Lu Wanjun's investment would have been eaten up by the hungry wolves in Shengjing without leaving anything behind.

Even so, Lu Wanjun suffered a lot of unfair bullying in business. If it weren't for her tough and aggressive personality, she would have been unable to make it long ago.

So when she saw that Ye Xi, who was so gentle, could be so tenacious, she knew how much unknown suffering she had endured in supporting such a big business on her own.

If the Ye family father and son treated her well, with her kind nature, she would definitely tolerate them and treat them very well.

However, the Ye family father and son looked down on women, and looked down on her even more. They thought that all the good things in the world should belong to men, and women were just objects in their hands and stepping stones!

The two stood there in silence for a long time until Fu Wuyang suddenly spoke.

“Maybe, there will be such a day.”

Hearing him say this, Su Lanyin was very surprised: "Is what the prince said true?"

"Well, I also want to see such a day."

"What's the use of just thinking?"

"Then tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Su Lanyin stroked her chin and thought for a while, then her eyes lit up: "Your Highness can do a lot. The first step is to persuade the Emperor that women can also join the Chamber of Commerce."

Until now, the Lu family has always been using uncle Lu Yichen's name in the Shengjing Chamber of Commerce.

But in fact, most of Shengjing's business is managed by her mother Lu Wanjun.

Even though these people openly called Lu Wanjun the shopkeeper or boss, behind the scenes, no one regarded her as a businessman. Some even thought that she was just an errand boy for the Lu family.

This feeling of not being treated equally is really humiliating and helpless.

Not only Lu Wanjun, but many people who work behind the business are women, but they can only let their husbands or sons join the Chamber of Commerce.

Whenever there are meetings or activities every year, they can only stand at the door and listen.

Fu Wuyang nodded: "I will consider this matter carefully and give you a reply when I return to Shengjing."
