He paused, and then continued: "From ancient times to now, no one has ever triggered it. Once it is activated, maybe you can use it to return to the modern times."

He could sense that this thing existed in this world, and when the time came, it would definitely allow him to recover his true form and return to that person's side...

He looked at Lin Shuning, thinking, maybe Aning could also...

As he was thinking to himself, his thoughts were interrupted by Lin Shuning's voice.

"Are you serious?" Lin Shuning sat up straight, and seemed to have hope in her heart. After all, she was not a person from ancient times. This place was just a strange world to her. If she had the chance, she would certainly want to return to where she should be.

"Really? But in addition to requiring a lot of silver, we also need... an opportunity. Let's just talk about what we can see right now. The two thousand taels of gold and fifty thousand taels of silver currently stored in the space are simply not enough."

"This is not enough," Lin Shuning said with a look of surprise, "How much money will it cost to really unlock it? I wonder if I will never be able to unlock it in my entire life?"

"How could that be, host? Since the hidden function exists, it can be unlocked," Xiaobai yawned. "I'm exhausted from upgrading all this time. I need to take a break. You should think about how to make money as soon as possible."

He didn't want to reveal the amount for the time being to discourage Lin Shuning's enthusiasm for making money, and he was even more afraid that she would ask about other things. As soon as he finished speaking, he "whoosh" returned to the space.

Lin Shuning lay back on the bed, playing with her hair out of boredom. After a while, her eyes gradually became bright.

Xiaobai is right, since this function exists, it can definitely be unlocked.

She just couldn't believe that with her business acumen, she couldn't make enough money to unlock the space!

Having made up his mind, Lin Shuning became even more motivated and decided to look for stores and shops tomorrow to open a chain of medical clinics!

The moon was dim and the stars were sparse. A few owl calls came from outside the window. Lin Shuning yawned and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, she got up early, and after disguising herself with Lian'er, she went out together and came to the main street. Unfortunately, after walking for a whole morning, they still hadn't chosen a suitable store.

Either the store is too small or the location is not good. In short, there are this and that and I can't find a satisfactory one.

Lian'er looked at Lin Shuning's nose which was slightly sweaty because she had walked for too long, took out a handkerchief to wipe it for her, and said distressedly: "Miss, we have walked around this main street and still can't find anything suitable. How about we make an exception? I think the shop on the east side is good, with a lot of customers. The only drawback is that it is too small."

"No," Lin Shuning shook his head. "We can't have a small one. Our next clinic must be big and grand. We must immediately make a splash on the opening day so that all the people know that our clinic is the first in the capital. Only in this way can we maximize the value of the chain."

Lian Er nodded as if she understood, and then seemed to have thought of something, and tentatively said: "Miss, there is no such store on this main street, why don't we go to the slave market to have a look? I have lived there for so long, and I have never seen a small flow of customers. If we can open it there, it will definitely cause a sensation."

Lin Shuning was stunned, then her face lit up with joy. She poked Lian'er's round cheek and said, "You are really smart. Your young lady has never thought of this idea. Let's go and take a look now!"

"Hmm!" Lian'er's little face turned red after receiving the praise.

Without further ado, the two of them rushed over in a hurry.

Arriving at the slave market, Lin Shuning was once again shocked by the flow of people there.

I saw that the long street in the middle, which was dozens of meters wide, was densely packed with people. People were walking out on the left and going in on the right, as if everyone was tacitly following an unwritten rule.

"We have come to the right place." Lin Shuning's eyes became firm, and he and Lian'er plunged into the crowd, looking at each shop.

Finally, Lin Shuning chose a two-story building that was for sale in the middle of the long street. This was the place with the most traffic, and it could be seen at a glance as soon as you entered the slave market. It was a perfect location with the right time and place.

Lian Er went forward and knocked on the door gently: "Is anyone there?"

After asking several times, the door was finally opened from the inside, revealing a face full of impatience: "It's noon, why are you making so much noise? You don't even want to take a lunch break, and you don't want others to take a lunch break! Tell me what you want from me, and if you don't have anything, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

As he spoke, the man walked out of the half-open door and waved his fist.

He was shirtless, and his belly, which was piled with layers of fat, shook three times because of his movements. Not only did it not have any intimidating effect, but it also made people feel funny.

Lin Shuning's expression did not change. He took a few steps forward, protecting Lian'er behind him, and said calmly, "Boss, we saw the word 'transfer' posted on the door of the shop, so we wanted to ask how much the transfer fee is."

The man sneered, looked the two of them up and down, and said with disdain: "Go out and take a look. My shop is located in the center of the long street. I dare say that the location is first, and no one dares to say it is second. Just based on this point, the price is not something you can afford."

He waved his hand, as if to drive people away: "Alright, hurry up and leave. I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother with you for disturbing my sleep."

"You just need to tell me how much money you want. What if I can afford it?" Lin Shuning raised the ending tone of every word he said, and a sense of casual nobility emerged spontaneously.

The man was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly raised his five fingers and said, "Fifty thousand taels of silver, not a cent less."

"Deal!" Lin Shuning agreed without any hesitation.

Hearing her agree so readily, the man looked at her in surprise and suspicion: "Are you sure?"

"OK, you decide whether you want silver or silver notes. I'll have my servants exchange them for you. I hope to complete all the remaining formalities today."

Lin Shuning's tone remained calm, while the man opposite her was full of disbelief. When he realized what was happening, he instantly changed his previous look of disdain and immediately agreed, "Banknotes," as if he was afraid that Lin Shuning would go back on her word.

His shop has such a good location, but no one has been interested in it. The fundamental reason is that his price is too high, more than twice as expensive as ordinary shops in other locations.

Most of the people who can come to the slave market are ordinary people living in the capital. They cannot afford such a high price even if they sell themselves.

But he never expected that the price he made up would be accepted by the woman in front of him.

Lin Shuning took out the silver note that he had prepared long ago from the space and handed it to him: "This is 10,000 taels of silver as a deposit. You should prepare the transfer deed as soon as possible. After signing, I will pay you the remaining balance."

"Got it!"

The man took the banknote with both hands and exclaimed, his impatience replaced by the joy of windfall. He looked at Lin Shuning flatteringly: "I don't even know your name or where you are from."

"You don't need to know these. I have something else to do. I will come before sunset tomorrow. You should get ready as soon as possible." After saying this, Lin Shuning no longer paid attention to the man. He went out with Lian'er and left the slave market.

"Miss, this man is asking for too much. I think the shop is ordinary and nothing special. It is not worth 50,000 taels of silver at all."

"In my opinion, the shop is worth it and will create greater value for us in the future. Compared with it, fifty thousand taels of silver is just a small amount of money."

Lian'er thought again, yes, her young lady's empty room is filled with priceless treasures and jades. Isn't 50,000 taels of silver just a small amount of money in her eyes?

"Okay, let's call it a day!" Lin Shuning clapped his hands, rented a carriage, and returned to the Shangshu Mansion contentedly.

At the same time, the East Palace.

In the lonely and quiet bedroom, a slender woman sat in front of the dressing table.

With her jade-white fingers, she removed the silver hairpins on her head one by one, letting her long black hair fall behind her. Without those complicated and cold accessories, she looked even more charming.

Pei Yan looked at herself in the mirror and touched her face with a sense of loss. She had been trapped in the East Palace all day, feeling depressed. She had long lost the purity and liveliness she once had. What she had left was only lifelessness.

She was like a canary in captivity. Although she was still alive, she had long lost the right to be free.

She laughed coldly, with a stubborn look in her eyes.

She wiped off her lipstick with her hands, replaced it with a light color, and carefully drew her eyebrows. After completing her full makeup, she changed into a light pink dress and nodded with satisfaction.

"Mingzhu, look at me, do I look a bit like the girl I was before I got married? Brother Wen said that I look best in this dress." Pei Yan said with a hint of shyness on her face, as if she was still a girl in love.

Mingzhu looked up and praised, "Miss, you are still the same as you were back then. When Master Gu sees you later, he will surely remember his friendship with you in the past.

I have inquired about it. His Royal Highness has entered the palace. He will not be back until dark at the latest. Although there is plenty of time, it is best not to delay too long. The carriage is ready. Miss, please go out quickly. "

"Yeah!" Pei Yan nodded heavily. She twisted her handkerchief and adjusted her dress from time to time, looking very nervous.

Before she even reached the carriage, she exclaimed again: "Oh no, I forgot to take the gift for Brother Wen. Mingzhu, wait for me, I'll be back soon."
