Qing'er glanced at her secretly again and whispered, "Miss...you seem different from before..."

Mu Jin raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's different?"

"In the past, the young lady valued the prince more than her own life, and was willing to change her personality for him. Now, she speaks of the prince as if he were a stranger. And~ and..."

Qing Er secretly glanced at Mu Jin again: "Miss, you used to be so gentle, but now you have an indescribable heroic spirit!"

Mu Jin curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Then you should consider the former Mu Jin as dead."

. . . . . .

In the Qiushui Garden of Prince Yun's Mansion, Shen Qianqian was painting with great interest. When she saw Cuixiang rushing in, she couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?

Cuixiang looked outside the door, closed it and said, "Miss, I just passed by the garden and saw a guard reporting to the prince that the princess had returned to the capital."

Shen Qianqian was stunned for a moment and put down her brush: "What did you say? Mu Jin has returned to Beijing. Has he arrived at the palace?"

"She didn't go back to the palace, but to the general's palace. I heard from the guard that when the princess got out of the carriage, there was also an injured man on the horse with her. Although the people in the general's palace stopped her and not many people saw it, the prince's secret agent still saw it. It's not in accordance with the rules for a single man and a single woman to ride in the same carriage."

Shen Qianqian frowned: "This is not right. Everyone in the capital knows that Mu Jin loves her cousin so much that she lost herself. How could she not come back to see her cousin first when she returns to the capital, but go back to the general's mansion? Is she seeing things?"

"Miss, the report from the prince's guards must be correct."

Shen Qianqian smiled softly and said, "Cuixiang, quickly ask someone to prepare the carriage. I want to go to the palace to see my aunt."

In Yongning Palace, Concubine De Shen Rong was very happy when she saw Shen Qianqian walk into the palace.

"Qianqian, you're here. I wanted to ask you to come to the palace these two days. Come quickly and take a look at the wedding dress I prepared for you. Try it on for your aunt."

Shen Qianqian smiled tenderly and said, "Thank you, aunt. I also have good news for you. My cousin's wife has returned to Beijing."

Shen Rong frowned and asked, "What? When did she come back? Why didn't she come to greet me?"

Shen Qianqian said: "I only found out about this when I heard passers-by talking about it while I was shopping. They said that my cousin's wife and an injured man came out of a carriage, and there were people surrounding them. They quickly walked into the general's mansion."

Shen Rong grabbed the armrests tightly with her hands: "What did you say? Mu Jin, that bitch, got out of the carriage alone with a man and a woman. Where does this put the face of our Wang family!"

Shen Qianqian stepped forward and stroked Shen Rong's back, comforting her: "Aunt, don't get me wrong. How could my cousin's wife love my cousin so much and have an affair with another man?"

"You underestimated that vicious woman, so you let her hurt you. But no matter what, she is back. In half a month, it will be your wedding with Yuntian. She is still the princess in charge. I am afraid that she will cause trouble for you."

Shen Qianqian lowered her head with red eyes: "My cousin's wife has never liked me. If, if she doesn't tolerate me, now her father and brother have military merits and are backing her up in the capital, if she beats me to death, I can't do anything about it."

Shen Rong went forward and hugged Shen Qianqian: "With your aunt and cousin here, she won't dare to touch a hair on your head."

"Aunt, don't be angry with my cousin's wife. In fact, as long as I can stay in the palace with my cousin, it's okay not to be a concubine."

Shen Rong touched Shen Qianqian's head and said, "Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't worry, your aunt will send someone to give her a beating. I won't tell her if she touches you while I'm here. Even her father, who is a general, is just a servant in your eyes.

After saying that, she also told Shen Qianqian that she had told Su Yuntian to issue an order at noon, asking him to go directly to the palace to pick up Shen Qianqian to go to the city to select jewelry for the wedding.

In particular, the treasures in Shuyu Tower are not inferior to those in the palace.

When Shen Qianqian heard that Su Yuntian would accompany her to Shuyu Tower to buy jewelry, she was very happy. She hugged Shen Rong, buried her head in her arms, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

At the General's Mansion, Mu Yan followed two guards carrying a large box and walked into Qingwan Courtyard: "Ajin, Ajin, look what good things I brought you."

Mu Jin came out from the inner room and saw Mu Yan asking someone to open the box. He asked for credit and said, "Look at the kingdom your brother has built for you in the past two years."

Mu Jin walked closer and saw animal skins, calligraphy and paintings, and some gold, silver and jewelry inside the box.

Mu Jin picked up a piece of animal skin and looked at it. Mu Yan said that this sable was hunted by me in Beiqi Country. I thought you could use it to make a collar in the winter. The others were bought for you whenever I arrived in a city and saw good ones that I thought you might like.

Mu Jin smiled at Mu Yan and said, "Thank you, brother. I like it very much. But I want to go shopping today. Please give me some banknotes."

Mu Yan smiled and took out a few hundred-yuan silver notes from his shirt and handed them to Mu Jin, saying, "If you don't have money, just ask your brother for it. I have these on me, and I'll give you some later. It's a pity that my father asked me to accompany him to inspect the military camp outside the city, otherwise I would have gone with you. I'll ask two guards to go with you later?

Mu Jin said: "Brother, go quickly. I don't need any guards. I am the eldest daughter of the general's mansion. Who would be so desperate to harm me?"

As he spoke, he looked at the banknotes in his hand and smiled even more happily. Mu Jin thought, in this life, he didn't spend money well, and in this life, he would still be the son of an official, so he should enjoy life. As he spoke, he asked someone to put the things in the box in place, and took Qing'er out of the general's mansion.

Mu Jin took Qing'er out of the general's mansion and got on a carriage heading to the busiest place on the street.

Mu Jin opened the car curtain with his hand and looked at the bustling crowd on the street with curiosity.

She told Qing'er to take her to the most expensive and prosperous area to shop and eat, and she would pay for everything today.

Qing'er looked very happy and urged the guards driving the carriage outside to go towards Treasure Street.

Qing'er said to Mu Jin, "Miss, you used to love going to Treasure Street. It's the most prosperous place in the capital, with the best jewelry stores, rouge, powder, and clothes. Many stores require you to verify that you have more than a thousand taels of silver on you before you can enter."

Mu Jin thought, isn't this the modern way of checking the capital first and then checking the goods? I didn't expect that this trick was passed down from ancient times.

As they were talking, they arrived at Treasure Street. Qing'er got off the carriage first, then turned around and helped Mu Jin get off.

"Miss, are you going to Shuyulou to look at jewelry first, or Jinxiufang to look at clothes, or Yan Ruoxue to buy rouge and powder?"

It was Mu Jin’s first time to come to this ancient market. She had only seen it on TV before, so she was very curious about everything she saw.

"It's up to you. We'll buy it wherever you take me."
