Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but frown.
It was Lin family’s act again.
“Han Feng, load all the grains in the store.”
“At your service!”
Han Feng acted once he heard Jiang Peihuan’s order.
The shopkeeper walked to Jiang Peihuan’s side and said with pleading eyes,” Miss Jiang, you can’t take like this, 1…”
“I will pay according to the market price. You may report it to the Lin family.”
“Just say that 1 bought all.”
Jiang Peihuan left the shop directly after Han Feng and the other servants moved all the available grains in the shop.
The Liu family was the first family aware about Jiang Peihuan’s movement.
“Miss Jiang?”
When Jiang Peihuan on her way back, she saw Liu Hao coming over.
“Cousin from the Liu family, thank you so much for your help this time.”
Jiang Peihuan was genuinely grateful when she meet Liu Hao for all the contribution by the Liu family.

Liu Hao quickly replied.
“Miss Jiang, did you bought these grains from the Lin family’s shop? Their grain is quite expensive now. If you need grains, I can have some sent to you.”
“Cousin Liu, thank you for your kindness, but I can’t keep taking grains from the Liu family.
“Once or twice is fine, but I can’t always bother you.”
“Besides, the grains behind me were purchased at the regular price.”
“Regular price?” Liu Hao was confused.
“Young Master Liu, these grains are bought by our Cheng Mansion’s mistress, who would dare to raise the price?” Han Feng reported proudly to Liu Hao.
“I see.”
“Cousin Liu, I need to get these grains to the city gate quickly, so I’ll take my leave now.”
“Have a safe journey, Miss Jiang.”
Liu Hao immediately stepped aside.
Jiang Peihuan rode Lie Feng along with Han Feng and their servants to the city gate.
“Quickly, prepare the carriage. 1 need to go to the Lin Mansion.” Once Jiang Peihuan and Han Feng left, the shopkeeper immediately rushed to the Lin Family.
Lin Mansion.
At Lin Ruhai’s study hall.
“How preposterous. What right does she have? She has crossed the line too far!”
Lin Ruhai’s eyes were filled with fury after learned about the event.
The shopkeeper at the side trembled in fear and did not dare to say a word.
“Father, this can be considered a good thing. Let’s just ignore it.”
Lin Mengyao saw the anger in Lin Ruhai’s eyes and gently advised him.
Ever since Lin Mengyao became Xiao Junhao’s side consort and he was no longer the favorite servant of Emperor Qi Ming, Lin Ruhai’s attitude towards Lin Mengyao had changed.
“This incident has caused our family financial loss. How can we just let it go?”
“Father, the grain was taken away on the orders of King Cheng. If the Emperor heard about the raise price of food without his command, he might…”
“We aren’t the only ones doing this.”
“You don’t have to say anymore. I want to see what the people from Cheng Mansion has to do about our loss.”
Watching his retreating figure, Lin Mengyao’s expression turned gloomy.
At the city gates.
When Jiang Peihuan arrived, the previous grain supplies were almost depleted.
With new supply of the grain on the carts behind Jiang Peihuan, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
“Eldest Miss, someone seems to be approaching.”
Due to the carts she was escorting, Jiang Peihuan moved slower. Just as she had the grains unloaded, she heard Han Feng’s voice.
It was none other than Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai dismounted his horse.

“Miss Jiang, isn’t it inappropriate for you to threated my staffs and took away my product from my shop by force?”
“Lord Lin must be joking. I paid for them.”
“With the usual Market price you mean? Miss Jiang, don’t you know the price now? Do you know the difference between trading and robbing like a bandit?” “Bandit? is Lord Lin accusing me of robbing you?”
Before Jiang Peihuan could speak, a low voice came from behind her.
Xiao Nanye walked over when heard Jiang Peihuan’s and Lin Ruhai’s voice.
Xue Qi and Xue Zhi wanted to to come over. However, they were stopped by Jiang Changbai. “Don’t worry, let His Highness handle it.”
Xiao Nanye walked to Jian Peihuan’s side and looked at Lin Ruhai coldly.” What is Lord Lin doing here?”
“Greetings, King Cheng.”
Facing Xiao Nanye, Lin Ruhai has to pay his respect.
“Your Highness, while distributing porridge is a charitable act, using my family’s grain for it without paying the actual amount is akin to robbery. 1’11 have to appeal to the Emperor.”
“Robbery? So it’s okay for Mr. Lin to exploit others but not the other way around?”
Jiang Peihuan spoke out.
“What do you mean by that, Miss Jiang?”
Xiao Nanye wanted to intervene but was held back by Jiang Peihuan’s gesture.
Xiao Nanye remained silent, though his gaze toward Lin Ruhai was cold.
“Mr. Lin, do you remember how you earned your official title?”
“Do you remember your Lin Xingchen?”
With every word from Jiang Peihuan, Lin Ruhai’s anger was raising. “You… you….”
