The next morning, Luo Qingyan got up early and went to the palace. Yun Shang woke up just after Luo Qingyan left. Yun Shang asked Qian Liu to help her with her dress and make-up. Then she asked the butler to give her the account books containing all things she should be in charge of in mansion.
Yun Shang got up early this morning. Although she was still sleepy, she started to look into the account books. But she didn't know much about the expenses, so she asked Qin Yi and two madams to help. It took her the whole morning to finish it.
After lunch, Yun Shang was about to have a rest when the butler ran over again. "Your Highness, Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang want to see you."
Yun Shang blinked, still confused, "Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang? Which Mr. Wang? "
"Wang Congwen, the richest man in the city." The butler hurriedly answered, "I heard that his highness hurt Miss Wang in the palace yesterday morning. I guess that they are here for this.
"Haha..." Yun Shang grinned. She quickly came up with an idea. Yesterday Qian Zhuo told her that Miss Wang must have been hurt badly by Luo Qingyan's palm, so she had asked all the famous doctors in the city. That was most likely why they came here today.
"Just tell them her highness is taking a nap. Let them wait. I have always felt that Miss Wang's arrogance is most likely due to her parents' pampering. I don't know how they teach her. She has no excellent talents and good qualities. How could they let her out to harm others?" Qian Zhuo had a fit of anger when she heard the parents of Miss Wang have come. She was still in a state of shock at the thought that Yun Shang was almost pushed to the ground by the woman yesterday.
The butler gave a short pause, and looked at Yun Shang with hesitation.
Yun Shang thought for a while and said, "Tell them I'm taking a nap. We should teach them a lesson. It's them who are begging us, so we don't need to be in a hurry. After reading the account books the whole morning, I can't open my eyes any more. Let me sleep first."
The butler bowed to Yun Shang and left the hall.
Yun Shang raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned slightly. Then she stood up and went into the inner room. She stretched out her hand an let Qian Zhuo and Qian Liu to take off her cape and robe, as well as all the hair accessories. After that, she went to the couch and lay down on it.
"You can wake me up in one hour," Yun Shang ordered Qian Liu. Qian Liu extinguished the incense beside her and left the inner room with Qian Zhuo.
An hour later, Qian Liu woke Yun Shang up on time. After freshening up, Yun Shang went to the garden house with her maids and two madams.
She stopped at the door of the garden house and looked inside through the window. There were a middle-aged man in his fifties and a woman in her forties. They both looked anxious and worried.
The lady frequently looked at the door of the garden house. She frowned and said unhappily, "Your lordship, Lady Rui is really arrogant. She has kept us waiting for almost two hours..."
Yun Shang smiled at Mrs. Wang's words and stepped into the garden house."Mrs. Wang, if you think I'm being arrogant, you can just leave. You don't need to wait here. Our little mansion is too humble for the richest lady in Jin city."
The two in the hall trembled at Yun Shang's words. They turned to look at Yun Shang. Yun Shang had a pretty face with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were full of chilling coldness.
"Your Highness." Yun Shang went to the host seat and sat down. The two people in the hall looked at each other and bowed to her in a hurry.
"You don't have to bow to me. I can't afford such courtesy." She smiled bitterly and looked at them indifferently.
Hearing this, the two were even more uneasy. There were many rumors about Lady Rui, saying that she was extremely beautiful, gentle and kind. Because of those rumors, the two of them regarded Lady Rui as a macaroni person, but they didn't expect that she was totally different from what the other people said. Although only for a short while, even the sophisticated couple felt a little oppressed.
Though smiling mildly, Yun Shang's words were sharp. The couple just didn't know how to answer.
"Welcome to our mansion. What can I do for you?" Qian Liu filled a cup of tea for Yun Shang. Yun Shang picked it up and said indifferently.
