Praang!
"You should be able to bring in the money your brother made out there! Our family is not what it used to be!" Qing prime minister exclaims to Qing Hao Min.
"Did you forget, if it was your own father who kicked you out, even before he came out of the palace? Now you want me to ask him for money, isn't this shameless?" Min'er.
"Unfilial son, how dare you say that to me!"
"If father and mother never send brother to the palace, so brother must suffer a lot there. I won't count on it either."
"He entered the palace of his own free will."
"Not if you don't do such a disgusting thing to frame your brother and his highness the emperor!"
"Min 'er! We've taken so much effort to raise her, she should've returned the favor to us." The wife of the Qing prime minister.
"A parent asks their child to return the favor? It's a joke!"
"Min'er take care of your attitude! Better get ready now. We're going to Miss Rong's house."
"After sister, you guys want me to marry an immoral woman like that lady Rong! Do you think we're an item?" Shouted Min'er who could not stand the attitude of her parents.
"Min'er, this is also for your own good." Madam Qing tried to grab her son's hand.
Min'er brushed off her mother's hand "If you still want to force me to ask brother for money, or force me to marry the woman that father and mother want. I'd better get out of this house too!"
Qing Hao Min turned around and walked out of the Qing prime minister's house quickly.
"Min'er don't go, father and mother do this for your good. Min'er!" The prime minister's wife Qing kept calling Min'er, but her only son did not heed her call.
"Based on unfilial child!" The Qing prime minister.
Qing Hao Min left feeling annoyed at his parents, he did not understand what exactly his parents wanted.
It used to be those who put her brother into the palace after trapping emperor Shun and his own daughter, even when he found out that even his daughter was being tortured in the palace they did not care. And when her daughter was no longer a queen, they threw her away like trash, and now when they hear that she has money to do with her own business, they want to take it without shame and feel even the slightest guilt.
"Requally outrageous!" Min'er said with annoyance.
After leaving the house, Min'er bought a horse and then he went to Yu city to meet his brother there.
Min'er would rather stay with her brother than marry a woman 15 years her senior, to get her father and mother back to their honor. The honor that Min'er has for him is mere wealth.

Meanwhile at the cake shop, Xia Lian An was busy helping her workers serve the many visitors.
For some reason today the shop visitors were so many, as if all the people in Yu city were out and in front of the cake shop.
Even until there are some cakes that are still warm he was forced to bring it forward to meet the wishes of visitors.
"The cake here is very good, the price is also cheap." Said one of the shop visitors.
"True, let alone said that the noble eldest daughter and crown prince of the Ming country had also come several times and enjoyed the cake here." Saying other visitors.
"Truly, I can't wait to try it."
"Yes, so am I."
Chairs on the first floor and on the second floor were all full, so inevitably those who had come had to be willing to wait if they wanted to eat there, or bring home the cake they bought.
After nearly two hours, visitors were reduced. Xia Lian An could have the ghost go to the kitchen to see the supplies of ingredients to make the cake.
"Miss." Xiao Fen said as he watched Xia Lian An enter the kitchen of the store.
"For the peanut cake we can still make about 4 more times miss, for the steamed sponge there is nothing left, because since then many visitors have asked for the cake, and for the nastar egg stay 2 more times."
Xia Lian An nodded "Then everything is spent today, after that I will go to the cake ingredients store to buy it."
"All right, miss."
Xia Lian An came back to the front, and she was surprised that there was already Min'er helping serve some of the visitors who were still arriving.
"Min'er?"
Min'er turned to Xia Lian An for a moment then smiled "Sister."
"When are you here?"
"I just got here and saw big sister's shop so crowded, so I'm helping out a little here."
Xia Lian An saw some visitors who still came one by one to her cake shop, and she also served.
After a while, the visitors began to dwindle and some tables were empty.
"Rest first there." Xia Lian An pointed at one of the chairs.
Min'er nodded, she then walked over and sat down on the chair her brother pointed at.
Before long, Xia Lian An came bringing tea and some cakes from the kitchen.
"Drink, you must be tired after the trip here and help brother earlier."
"I'm glad I could help my sister."
Min'er took a glass of warm tea and drank it.
"Did something happen?"
Min'er was silent for a moment and then shook her head "No brother, I just want to see big brother and enjoy the atmosphere in Yu city for a few days."
"Min'er, you're not good at lying. Tell me what happened?"
Min'er looked at Xia Lian An, she hesitated to say what was really going on at home. During this time his brother had suffered a lot because both parents did not care at all, whether his brother was good or not, sick or healthy in the palace first.
"Min'er?"
"Sister, actually, you want me to marry Miss Rong."
Xia Lian An was surprised "Mrs Rong, the old woman who already had two husbands?"
Min'er mangangguk.
"He used to trap and put me in the palace for the sake of the prosperity of his own life, now he wants to marry my sister to that immoral woman. Absolutely outrageous."
Xia Lian An was furious considering what she had experienced long ago, even though she loved emperor Shun, but she did not want to enter the palace at all, but in the end he entered because of a trap set by his father and several other officials.
"I won't let him do that to you. You stay here."
"Good, brother."
"Prime Minister Qing, I haven't given a calculation for what I've been through all this time, and you want to take away my sister's happiness. Don't dream!"
