"Uncle, can you please leave the palace and help me deliver the letter to my mother?" Juelan naturally had no chance to go out of the palace. Besides, Concubine Liang had recently found several teachers to teach her singing and dancing etiquette so that she could perform well at the family banquet.

Zhao Chonglian took the letter and rubbed it in his hands before agreeing to it. He did not ask any more questions, but before leaving, he told her to listen to Concubine Liang and not to act on her own.

Zhao Chonglian was originally thinking about how to ask his sister out for a meeting. Coincidentally, the Ministry of Rites was ordered by the emperor to go to the Taifu Mansion, so he took this opportunity to go along.

The Taifu Mansion was already bustling with activity. Outside the mansion, there were lanterns and colorful decorations. Red flowers were hung in front of the door, exuding a festive atmosphere. The Ministry of Rites came for the royal wedding. According to the Qing Dynasty practice, these were always entrusted to the Ministry of Rites. It was the Fu Jin Guaerjia clan who came out to greet them. Kangxi rewarded countless treasures, which showed that he valued the Niuhulu clan very much.

Zhao Chonglian had been to the Taifu Mansion once before and vaguely remembered the way, so he found an excuse to leave the main hall while counting the gifts. There were few people in the backyard, most of them went to the front yard to help.

Aunt Zhao saw the familiar figure and thought she had seen it wrong, but when she got closer, she saw that it was really her brother. She walked to the door and welcomed Zhao Chonglian in.

"Brother, do you have anything to say today?" Aunt Zhao guessed that he must have something to say to her.

Zhao Chonglian handed the letter to Aunt Zhao and told her to prepare some things. He had actually read the letter a long time ago. It contained some irrelevant things to him. Juelan's writing was also vague, and she just asked her mother to prepare some high-quality coix seed powder for her, saying that she had nightmares recently. Zhao Chonglian also sent someone to send her some supplements to take good care of herself.

After seeing Zhao Chonglian off, she went into the house and opened the letter to read it. The first part was filled with greetings, and the second part was asking Aunt Zhao to prepare some things. She understood what her daughter meant at a glance and put the letter away.

After the people from the Ministry of Rites delivered the things, they returned to the palace to report. Guaerjia called Deyin to help count and organize the items that had been delivered. Deyin picked up the material that had just been delivered and touched it. It was really a high-quality product, both in terms of quality and feel.

Guaerjia asked Qingxuan to take all the fabrics, thinking of making some new clothes for her daughter so that she could wear them when she had more. She also estimated that the day was getting closer and she should buy all the necessary things while there was time. So she turned and looked at Deyin: "Is there anything you want? Why don't you accompany me for a walk?"

Deyin had never been out alone with her mother, so she nodded happily when she heard the suggestion, and then went back to her room to pack up.

Luwu simply combed Deyin's hair and went out together. It was the first time for her to go out with so many people and she was a little uncomfortable. After not much shopping, her mother bought a lot of things for herself, saying that it was for good luck.

While E'niang and the maids were resting in the teahouse, Deyin could take this opportunity to go out for a walk. Luwu wanted to go with Deyin, so she agreed.

Deyin turned several corners before he found a street he had never been to. It was so hidden that it was no wonder he had never discovered it before. There were not many shops but each one had its own characteristics. Deyin was also attracted by what he saw.

"Miss, do you think the person in front looks like Aunt Zhao?" Lu Wu asked De Yin. She looked ahead and saw that the dress looked like one that Aunt Zhao had worn before. Aunt Zhao turned around and De Yin saw her. Fortunately, she acted quickly and pulled Lu Wu into the store next door, so she didn't attract attention.

Deyin stuck her head out and saw Aunt Zhao observing her surroundings cautiously. She usually liked to bring servants with her when she went out, but today she was so low-key and no one knew what she was doing.

The two had been waiting in the store for Aunt Zhao to come out for about twenty minutes. After she walked away, they went to the shop where she had just been. There were only ordinary Western products, and no one knew why she was so furtive.

"Miss, do you want to tell Madam about what happened today?" Lu Wu felt that the matter was not that simple so she asked casually.

Now that there is no evidence, it is difficult to seek justice. Deyin thinks it is better to wait and see what happens.
