"Imperial Master, is he alive?" Su Yunling curled the corners of his lips, not feeling guilty at all.

"Thanks to the county lady, I only suffered minor injuries." Xuan Mo's calm eyes fixed on Su Yunling, as if he wanted to see through her.

"You were the first to attack. If you suffer a loss, it's because you are not as skilled as others. Don't be unconvinced."

Su Yunling was not afraid that he would go before the emperor and reveal that she had pushed him off the cliff, because he himself could not clear himself.

So she expected that he would suffer this loss in silence.

Xuan Mo's eyes were deep. He had no direct and effective way to verify her identity, so he could only open his mouth and test it out.

"The county lady's ability to pretend to be dead is not something that ordinary people can do. I am willing to admit that I am inferior to her."

"Oh~ Did the Imperial Master take the wrong medicine today?" Su Yunling was surprised by his words.

"I have a friend who also likes to play dead. But... she is not human." Xuan Mo said and carefully observed the changes in her eyes.

Su Yunling frowned with disdain, "Does the friend of the Imperial Master know that you cursed him behind his back?"

Xuan Mo: “…”

That's not what he meant, it's just that this method of trial is indeed meaningless.

So he decided to be more straightforward, "My friend is a white-haired fox. She is the best at playing dead."

"Master——" Su Yueying's aggrieved voice sounded behind the two of them.

Xuan Mo was interrupted before he had time to observe Su Yunling's reaction. For the first time, he felt annoyed with Su Yueying.

But Su Yueying didn't notice it at all, and walked up to him and asked why he was so close to Su Yunling.

"Master, have you also been bewitched by this disaster star?"

"Stop talking nonsense. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back." Xuan Mo looked at Su Yunling deeply and could only find another opportunity.

However, even if Su Yunling is really not a human, it cannot be concluded that she is his little fox.

After all, it was Su Yueying he found with his spiritual power. Although Su Yueying's personality had nothing to do with his little fox and she had no memory of her previous life, this was all normal.

Because Su Yueying is just the reincarnation of a little fox, according to the rules of tribulation, she is not allowed to carry the memories of her past life.

So even if her personality changes drastically, her identity cannot be denied.

Xuan Mo comforted himself in this way, and the doubts in his heart were dispelled a little.

Thinking of neglecting Su Yueying, he felt guilty again.

"Yingying, don't be angry. Your teacher has prepared a gift for you..."

"Really? Thank you, Master..." Su Yueying said this while raising her chin towards Su Yunling in a smug provocation.

Su Yunling didn't even bother to look at her expression, but what did Xuan Mo mean by what he said just now?

He has a friend who can play dead and is also a fox?

Nonsense! Playing dead is a necessary skill for a fox.

Su Yunling watched the master and disciple leave, planning to strike first before Xuan Mo attacked her next time.

After a long delay, we finally arrived at the most famous jewelry store in Shangjing——【Linlang Pavilion】

It is worthy of being called Linlang Pavilion. Headwear of various materials and styles are displayed together according to craftsmanship and price, which is a feast for the eyes.

"Look, young lady! This kingfisher headpiece is so beautiful! It suits you very well!"

Linglan took a fancy to a set of headwear with gold and kingfisher feather craftsmanship.

Su Yunling took a look and thought it was good. The shopkeeper immediately came forward to introduce it enthusiastically when he saw that a distinguished guest had taken a fancy to their treasure.

"Miss, this headpiece has a gold-thread base, six Pyu rubies, twelve Beihai pearls, and blue peacock feathers from Nanzhao. Not only are the materials superior, but the craftsmanship is also sophisticated. I would not recommend it to anyone other than someone as noble as you..."

As expected of a businessman, he praises his own goods while flattering his customers.

"Brother Ye, I want this headgear too."

Just as Su Yunling was about to ask the shopkeeper for a quote, a woman in a green dress came over with a tall and handsome man.

When Su Yunling's eyes swept over the man, he didn't react at first, but as soon as he looked away, a string in his mind suddenly tightened. Isn't this man his cousin's husband?

He remembered that his cousin's husband had only one wife, Xu Miaoyu, in his backyard. So who was this woman who was so close to him?

Chen Ye might have sensed the look in Su Yunling's eyes, and he immediately pulled the woman's hand off his arm in an unnatural manner.

Since Su Yunling had just recently been reunited with her grandfather's family and had not had the chance to meet Chen Ye, she did not know Su Yunling.

It was also by chance that Su Yunling saw him at a banquet picking up her cousin, but the two did not greet each other.

The woman finally noticed that Su Yunling was looking at Chen Ye, and immediately squeezed forward and questioned in dissatisfaction:

"Girl, why do you always stare at other people's men? Have you never seen such a handsome man? You have no shame!"

"Yu Niang, don't be rude!" Chen Ye immediately pulled the woman named Yu Niang behind him, and then bowed to Su Yunling to apologize:

"My sister was reckless and offended the young lady. Please forgive me."

Su Yunling frowned in dissatisfaction: "You are the second son of Duke Qin's mansion, right?"

Chen Ye's figure froze visibly, "That's right."

As expected of a scholar, he seems to be a humble and polite person. What a pity... he is just a sanctimonious person.

"Is this woman your sister? I remember that the youngest daughter of Duke Qin was only ten years old."

Chen Ye choked and his face turned red, "She is my...cousin"

The woman behind him got angry again, "This is someone else's family affair, what does it have to do with you?"

Su Yunling cast her cold and sharp eyes at the woman. "It's really none of my business. I just think that some concubines who are not allowed to see the light of day should not come out to stroll around in broad daylight, otherwise something bad will happen sooner or later. What do you think, Chen Xiuzhuan?"

This was probably the first time that Chen Ye did such a shameful thing, so he pulled the woman named Yu Niang and was about to leave.

But Li Yu Niang struggled to break free, "I want that headgear, otherwise I won't leave."

Chen Ye was anxious and angry, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Su Yunling.

"Sorry, I want this headgear."

"Why do you want it? We fell in love with this set of headgear as soon as we entered the door." Li Yu Niang stretched her neck and said in a rude manner.

Su Yunling did not rush to argue with him, but said to the shopkeeper: "Just give me the quotation directly!"

The shopkeeper looked excited: "One thousand two hundred taels of silver."

When this price was announced, everyone in the circle gasped.

The little fox was petrified. She loves money like her life!

This price can buy one house, no! Two houses.

"Brother Ye, I want this headdress. Can you buy it for me?" Li Yu Niang shook Chen Ye's arm coquettishly, not noticing Chen Ye's embarrassed expression at all.

The corners of Su Yunling's mouth rose slightly under her veil. After the death of the former Duke Qin, the Chen family had not produced anyone who could be of great use.

Now, he is just a poor wealthy family who relies on the relationship of a queen in the palace to keep the title of duke.

There's no way he could afford this set of headwear that costs more than one thousand taels of silver.
