Chapitre 12: Troublesome Sister

Under Yang Yiting's drastic reforms, the operation of the two stores, Beautiful Dreams and Luxurious Sets, left by Yang Su, gradually improved.

The two shops were located on Ziyang street and Zhuque Street, respectively. The two of the most prosperous street in the capital, and the geographical position was superior.

If Yang Mei Shi was not causing her troubles, they would not be making losses every year.

Before, when Yang Yiting got the account of the shops, she was really shocked by the financial state of the shops. Fortunately, she was so excited when she learned that she had two stores in prime locations under her name, that she wasn't too sad about the account deficits.

Whereas, the Exquisite Pavilion under the name of the Wu family on Xuanwu Street, not far away, was flourishing.

But now, Exquisite Pavilion had gradually declined after the rise of Beautiful Dreams. This greatly affected Yang Mei Shi that she fell ill. What's even more depressing for her was that she couldn't take anything from Yang Yiting like before.

It was impossible to see anyone who would embezzle the inheritance now. If she had a bad relationship with Yang Yiting and she exposed her, she would lose the prestige and status as the mistress of the house. What more, her life in the house of Yang could be very sad.

Therefore, during this period of time, Yang Yiting lived a very happy life. She was going to the streets from time to time, experiencing the customs of the Dasheng Dynasty, going to teahouses and restaurants to listen to folk gossip, and grasp the latest world situation.

Nowadays, Wanjin was divided into four parts of the world. Among them, Dasheng had the most extensive territory and the most abundant products. There were three continents around it, namely Borjin continent to the north, Jinyong continent to the west, and Kusan continent to the south.

Borjin was dominated by nomads. It had a sturdy folks who were good at riding and shooting arrows. They had coveted the territory of Dasheng for a long time, and had repeatedly sent troops to violate the border.

Seven years ago, in the battle of Jingzhou City, the Dasheng army severely damaged Borjin's three hundred thousand army. General He Yuanshan was shot and killed by the then 16-year-old Meng Yuan.

He Yuanshan was the most brave general in Borjin, but he died in the hands of a 16-year-old warrior in Dasheng. The whole country of Borjin was shocked. Borjin took the initiative to negotiate peace with Dasheng and promised not to send troops to Dasheng in the next ten years.

However, at that time, Dasheng also suffered heavy losses. The army war general who was also the junior brother of the emperor, Meng Yao, died in the battle, and his son, Meng Yuan, was seriously injured. There was not much left of the one hundred thousand troops of the Meng family.

In view of the situation, Dasheng agreed to negotiate a peace with Borjin. That battle could be said to have hurt both sides.

In the past seven years, the Dasheng Dynasty could be regarded as a state of peace and security under the current Emperor's governance.

Walking on the prosperous road of Zhuque Street, Yang Yiting thought of Meng Yuan for this reason. For such peace and tranquility, the Meng family paid a huge price, the former general gave his life, and the current leader of the Meng family had suffered great health problems.

So she was thinking about this while walking.

Beautiful Dreams was located at the intersection of Ziyang Street, in the prosperous area of Shengjing.

Before Yang Yiting reached the door, she heard a loud noise in the store.

"You're so bold. You're asking me to pay for what I fancy?" Yang Ruo's sharp and arrogant voice came into Yang Yiting's ears from far away.

Yang Yiting frowned. Why was it her again? This girl was not at ease wherever she was. Yang Yiting walked into the store and saw Yang Ruo glaring angrily at the current shopkeeper Xu Qingzhou of Beautiful Dreams' shop.

The maid Rujin who followed next to her was holding a set of packaged jade beads in her hands.

Xu Qingzhou was Miss Xu's distant nephew. He was thirty-five or six years old, with upright face but no lack of shrewdness. Yang Yiting was very satisfied with him since he had been working conscientiously and fulfilling his duties as the treasurer of Beautiful Dreams shop.

Xu Qingzhou did not show weakness in the face of Yang Ruo's unreasonable clamor. Although he bowed down and saluted respectfully, he still insisted on standing for reasons and did not give in.

Seeing Yang Yiting walking in, Xu Qingzhou was obviously relieved, saluted Yang Yiting, and respectfully said. "Welcome, eldest lady."

This Miss Yang Ruo was too unreasonable, and it was really hard to deal with. But the eldest lady must have a way, Xu Qingzhou thought with relief.

After contacting him during this period of time, he admired Yang Yiting very much. Although the eldest lady looked gentle and weak, her knowledge and courage were unusual.

Yang Yiting nodded to Xu Qingzhou, glanced faintly at Yang Ruo, whose nose was upturned, and said, "Sister, since you like this set of jewelry, just tell the store keeper and he will send it to you at Yang Mansion. Why bother to lose your temper here and bring the family unnecessary embarrassment?!"

"Embarrassment?" Yang Ruo snorted coldly and said arrogantly. "What gives you the right to tell me that? I mean, look at you. Face disfigured, publicly divorced, and now even Meng Yuan, that's newly arranged for you, despise you. If I were you, even if I didn't hang myself, I would live in the monastery for the rest of my life. It's embarrassing for you to come out and show yourself in the open!"

Hearing Yang Ruo's words, the crowd watching the lively encounter outside the gate of Beautiful Dreams, began to discuss.

"It turns out that this is the Yang's family."

"Yes, and that's miss Yang Yiting."

"Seeing that she is covered with a veil, shouldn't she be really disfigured?"

"Yes, she is, and it was really bad. Alas, what a pity!"

"I heard that the emperor gave her in a marriage to Meng Yuan, but he refused."

"Then she was divorced twice, alas."

"It's a pity."
