408 A Blockade (1)

Mo Yuan did not understand why Shen Yijia had such a big reaction. She was about to say that she did not know when a voice sounded.

“Pfft, this young lady isn’t from the capital, right? The Romantic Scholar’s books originally circulated from the capital.”

Therefore, to be precise, it was not sold to the capital, but from the capital.

Shen Yijia turned around.

Their carriage was parked by the roadside, next to a tea stall. The person who spoke was a baby-faced young man sitting in a tea stall.

!!

The young man looked out of place at the slightly dirty tea stall, but he didn’t seem to mind at all.

Noticing Shen Yijia’s gaze, he even winked at her.

Shen Yijia pursed her lips and asked, “Do you know him?”

Otherwise, how would he know where he had placed his books to sell in the beginning?

The young man choked and looked away. “I don’t know him.”

“Oh.” Shen Yijia turned to look at the crowd in front of her again.

The young man thought, “That’s it?”

He was puzzled and put his head above the tea bowl. Unfortunately, the tea soup was too turbid to reflect his face.

He turned around and asked his attendant, “Didn’t I wash my face today?”

The follower really leaned over to take a look seriously. After a long time, he said, “It’s very clean.”

“Then am I not good-looking?” That shouldn’t be the case. He could still sense several pairs of eyes secretly looking at him from the teahouse opposite.

So it wasn’t his problem. His charm was still there.

The young man was relieved.

The tea stall and the carriage were so close that Shen Yijia heard every word of their conversation.

She rolled her eyes. Actually, the young man was indeed good-looking, but Shen Yijia had seen too many beautiful men. She was no longer as shallow as before.

Besides, her beautiful husband would be jealous if she kept staring at other beautiful men.

After waiting for a while, the crowd in front showed no signs of dispersing. Instead, there were a few more masters squeezing in with their servants.

“Mo Yuan, take another path,” Shen Yijia instructed.

“Hey, aren’t you going to buy a storybook? This time, it’s Lu Mingyan’s fifth book.”

Since she knew about the Romantic Scholar, she must have read his novels.

Everyone who had seen it liked it!

The young man felt that Shen Yijia must have just arrived in the capital, so he did not know which volume Lu Mingyan had updated.

Usually, after these books were sold in the capital, it would take some time to spread them elsewhere. Then, it would take time to hire someone to transcribe them. By the time they started selling them, the capital had already started selling the next book.

It was precisely because of this that many people from outside the capital would ask their relatives and friends to help buy and send the new book over in order to see it sooner.

There were even some smart vendors who found business opportunities among them. As soon as they sold them, they came to buy more than ten books.

If they bought it here and sold it elsewhere, the price could be doubled.

This was also why there were so many people crowding at the entrance of the bookstore.

Shen Yijia looked at the young man strangely. “Why should I buy it?”

“Of course it’s because he wrote a good book,” the young man said matter-of-factly. Noticing Shen Yijia’s expression, he widened his eyes in disbelief. “Don’t you think so?”

His face was just short of saying, “Everyone likes it. How can you not like it?” Coupled with his baby face, he looked innocent and aggrieved.

Shen Yijia gritted her teeth. Why did it seem like she was guilty of a heinous crime if she didn’t like it?

Something was wrong with this person.

Coincidentally, Mo Yuan had already turned the carriage around. Shen Yijia tugged at her sleeve.

Mo Yuan understood and waved her whip. The carriage left.

“Hey, you…”

The young man still wanted to chase after her, but his subordinate quickly stopped him.

“Your Highness, what are you doing?” There was no reason to force a cow to drink water.

“It’s fine if she doesn’t like my face, but she actually doesn’t like my book. How ridiculous…” Shangguan Heng stomped his feet in anger.

It was too hateful to be attacked by the same person twice.

He was so angry that he had no idea that he had temporarily escaped the fate of being beaten up.

“Oh my, Your Highness, look, there are still so many people who like your books. She’s missing out.” The follower comforted him.

Shangguan Heng glanced at the crowd blocking the way and sat back down angrily to take a sip of tea. He took out the fan hanging on his waist and fanned himself.

After a long time, he nodded in agreement. “You have a point.”

Song Jingchen went straight to the Court of Judicial Review after the morning court session.

In the past, when there was no conflict of interest, everyone would either praise or pity Song Jingchen.

However, it was different now that he had suddenly parachuted in and become their boss.
