  Ding Rou arrived at the foot of the mountain, and there were very few people in front of the stone tablet. Especially the young ladies from noble families had mostly returned to their mansions by carriage. Ding Rou saw two girls dressed in ordinary clothes throwing copper coins on the square inch of land in front of the stone tablet, filling it with copper coins, but the mouth of the black turtle did not have a single copper coin. Ding Rou asked softly: "Mother, can we pick up the copper coins?"

  Liu patted Ding Rous shoulder and scolded with a smile: "Xiao Rou, you cant be disrespectful to the Empress Dowager, whats the logic of picking it up again?"

  "What happened to the copper coins that were thrown into the well every year?" Ding Ruo realized that this was a cost-free business and thought about finding an opportunity to take away the copper coins. Lius eyebrows furrowed, "They were taken by Empress Taizu, Xiao Ruo, I dont allow you to have thoughts of taking the copper coins, it will bring retribution."

  "Mother, dont worry, I wouldnt dare," Ding Ruo said with a smile. A glimmer of light flashed in Ding Ruos eyes - it wasnt impossible for the Empress Dowager to appear and take away the copper coins. When that happens, more people will come to Luofeng Mountain, Ding Ruo thought to herself. She had an idea and decided that this business could be done, but she needed to prepare some things. Rather than letting someone else pick up the copper coins cheaply, why not benefit herself? After all, Ding Ruo was familiar with the Empress Dowager and considered her a fellow townsman.

  "What a pity, just one more, sister. Otherwise, Ill throw another copper coin, I still have two copper coins here." A little girl in pink floral dress, about ten years old, took out a handkerchief wrapped copper coin and handed it to her sister, saying: "Sister will be engaged in two days, got a good omen."

  A girl in a light blue long dress touched her sisters cheek, with a gentle smile: "It was mother who bought sugar for copper coins, keep it, and the person who discussed marriage with our family is an ordinary farmer, how can he be married to a first-class wife?"

  "Big sister, I dont like sweets, take it away. I think Tiger Brother is destined for greatness." The little girl stuffed the copper coins into her sisters hand, "Tiger Brother has grown up to be tall and strong, his family is a military household, he will become a great general in the future."

  The girls face turned red, "Dont talk nonsense." Her shy cheeks were pink, her eyes were affectionate, and Ding Rou pulled back Liu Shi, "Lets wait a bit longer." Liu Shi nodded in agreement. The girl couldnt bear her sisters plea, took the copper coins and was about to throw them into the turtles mouth again when Ding Rou heard someone behind shouting: "Move aside, move aside!"

  The girl was flustered and nervous, the copper coins fell to the ground, rolling along the bluestone road. The little girl hurriedly chased after them to pick up the copper coins, just in time to bump into a group of people. The copper coins were trampled underfoot by the attendants and guards. The little girl looked up and said: "Could you please move aside? Just for a moment."

  "Get out of the way, youve bumped into our young lady. You cant afford to offend us, scram!" The newcomer was about to kick the little girl, but Ding Rous foot moved faster than his thoughts. She directly kicked up a stone from the road, which landed right on the servants head. The servant recoiled, and the young woman rushed over to shield her sister. "Sorry, sorry, Ill take her away now."

  "Who? Who dares to throw stones at me?"

  Ding Ruo didnt want to cause trouble, but wasnt afraid of it either. She watched with her eyes wide open as the young girl was kicked flying by the evil servant. Its easy to imagine the outcome when a big and strong man kicks a little girl - she must have been injured internally, and in ancient times with backward medical skills, how could she be cured? Ding Ruo then kicked the stone.

  Zhuang Han easily found Ding Rou, and saw that Ding Rous facial features were delicate, her clothes were not bad, she didnt look like a typical daughter of a Zhuang family, nor did she look like a young lady from a wealthy family. Zhuang Han couldnt tell if he could afford to offend her or not, but he was used to being arrogant, "Who is this nosy person? Does she know who I am?"

  "I know." Ting Ruo patted Liu Shi and told her not to worry, Ting Ruo had a way to avoid trouble and solve the current situation. If it were his previous lifes personality, he would have directly scolded him as an evil dog, but now was not suitable. Ting Ruo said: "Its someone from An Yang Bo Fu."

  Ding Ruo had long seen Miss Li Manzhu of the Anyang Bo House, wrapped in a beautiful dress. She left quite late, and as fate would have it, Ding Ruo ran into her again. The strong man said: "Since youre afraid of offending the Anyang Bo House, how dare you kick stones at me?"

  "I slipped under my feet, and the stone slab flew up. I also know that in Luofeng Mountain, Empress Taizu is most intolerant of bullying, let alone her sisters throwing copper coins at the stone tablet, Empress Taizus spirit is indeed efficacious."

  The majestic Hans expression changed, and Ding Rou immediately knew that the various legends of Luofeng Mountain had deeply entered peoples hearts. At this time, Li Manzhu spoke up: "I was wondering who had such a big nerve, and it turns out to be the illegitimate daughter of the Ding family, Ding Rou. We meet again."

  Li Manzhu supported her hand on the servant girls head, looking at Ding Ruo with a proud and disdainful gaze, "Bastard daughter Ding Ruo, do you still recognize Miss?"

  "Miss Li, I think its hard to recognize you, youre too dazzling. Ding Rou placed Liu Shi and Lan Xin behind her, Comparable to the scorching sun in the daytime, the twinkling stars at night, how could I not recognize you?"

  Li Manzhu felt a bit suspicious, listening to what seemed like praise, but somehow it didnt feel right. She couldnt ask others if Ding Rou was scolding her or praising her. The young girl following Li Manzhu looked up at Ding Rou with a puzzled expression and furrowed her brow. Ding Rou had changed; in the past, she wouldnt have even asked about the young girls who were kicked out, let alone when her own mother, Madame Liu, fell ill and died. Now, however, she was protecting Madame Liu - what had changed her?

  The girl was Li Manzhus younger sister, Li Manshi, also a concubine-born daughter. At this time, even if she felt that Ding Rous words were not right, a girl with a conscience would not want to remind Li Manzhu. Moreover, the girls gaze shifted to one side and walked over to the sisters side, bent down and stroked the little girls cheek, saying softly: "It was my fault, An Yang Bo Fu, I will report back to mother and have her scold him."

  "Come on, bring the glutinous rice cakes."

  "Yes."

  The girl took out a box of glutinous rice sugar, Li Manshi gave it to the little girl and affectionately rubbed her head, "Take it and eat it."

  "Thank you miss, thank you miss."

  Sisters curtsied to Li Man Shi, who smiled brightly. The sunsets rays shone on her, adding a touch of radiance, making her stand out in contrast to Ding Yus rough and unsophisticated Li Man Ru. Ding Yu looked past Li Man Ru at Li Man Shi, who was not simple and also quite dangerous. Li Man Ru was crude and easy to deal with, but Li Man Shi was different - she could pretend and endure, gaining favor from her stepmother by carefully serving her stepsister, yet behind her back, she used her kindness to manipulate others and secure a good marriage, which was also the way for a concubines daughter to survive.

  Li Man Shi didnt take the bait from Ding Rou, and Ding Rou wouldnt intentionally cause her trouble. Ding Rou also saw Hou Fus Li Gongzi not far away, who had been paying attention to their movements. Li Man Shi was doing it for him, but would that Li Gongzi take the bait?

  "Commoner Ding Rou, kneel down before Miss, kneel down."

  Li Manzhus eyes shone brightly, she had finally waited for this day. How could Li Manzhu forget the humiliation of kneeling down to apologize to Ding Rou back then? Now it was her turn to be superior.
