Zhang Qi noticed Lin Qianqian's beautiful and fresh makeup today. He raised his hand and touched a bright pearl in her hair. He asked softly, "Do you like pearls?"

He moved closer to her and sniffed the fragrance of her hair. The elegant orchid scent permeated his soul.

Suddenly, he closed his eyes and couldn't help but kiss Lin Qianqian's hair.

Lin Qianqian raised her head suddenly, and obviously felt it, and she touched her hair that had just been touched so intimately.

He took two steps back, and suddenly ran away.

Zhang Qi walked out of the alley, holding the knife at his waist, silently watching the direction where Lin Qianqian left. When the beautiful figure disappeared, a determined smile appeared on his face again.

Ping An appeared out of nowhere and said, "I didn't expect the boss to fall in love with a married woman."

"What a pity, she is the prince's concubine."

Zhang Qi's face was calm, "Just a concubine."

"As long as the right conditions are offered, they will be given away."

"Before, a lord exchanged his concubine for a horse. It was common for officials to exchange concubines with each other. She was just a concubine."

He emphasized solemnly.

After a moment's silence, he added, "Go and find out when she will leave the house next time."

Ping An nodded, "Got it, Boss."

……

Cheng Jiayao, who had recovered a lot, wore a cone-shaped hat today and solemnly left the house to meet her brother Cheng Yuanxiu in the private room of Tianxiang Tower.

"Brother, have you found out what I told you to do before?"

"What is Lin Qianqian doing when she goes out of the house every now and then? Sometimes she asks the prince to come with her, and sometimes she goes out alone."

"Cough cough..." After saying a few words, Cheng Jiayao covered her chest, lowered her head and coughed twice, and the delicate tassels in her hair swayed to her ears.

Cheng Yuanxiu quickly raised his hand and stroked her back, helping her to calm down gently.

"I found out that she was going to the Jade Pavilion."

"What are you going to do in the Emerald Pavilion?"

Cheng Jiayao asked.

"She went to the Jade Pavilion to earn money."

"Earning money?" Cheng Jiayao thought for a moment and said, "The Marquis's Mansion gave her such a good life, and she still thinks it's not enough to spend?"

"Before, Gu Huai spent 500 taels of silver on her in one go. I didn't expect that the lady would tolerate her misbehavior. I work hard all day to run the housework and shop for the Marquis's Mansion, but Lin Qianqian just sits back and enjoys the fruits of my labor. She doesn't have to do anything and gets so many benefits for nothing."

"I feel like I'm working like a slave for them for nothing. If I spend all this money, I wonder what nasty things Yu will say. Is it because she's a concubine? Is it because she's favored by Gu Huai? She can do this!"

Seeing his sister in such pain, Cheng Yuanxiu felt even more distressed about the unfair treatment she suffered in the Marquis' Mansion.

He said seriously, "As the wife of the prince, you naturally have to serve him well. Even if you are favored by him, these are not yours."

Cheng Yuanxiu has been taught since elementary school that men are respected.

He is a male chauvinist at heart.

Before, his sister ignored Gu Huai, the prince, and he felt that she had missed the point. He also felt that his dignity as a man was challenged for some reason.

What if his future wife told him that she didn't love him or serve him, and only wanted to serve her mother-in-law?

Then he would think this woman was crazy.

Isn't it the purpose of marrying a wife to serve you? If she doesn't do this and treats him coldly, he won't be able to bear it. A maid who knows how to smile and make him happy is better than such a wife. The male chauvinism will not allow him to stick his face to her cold butt. Women are born to serve men.

He would think that this family did not properly educate their daughter on how to serve her husband, and would go to her parents to have a good talk with them.

However, this was a gentle approach. If he was a bit more rude, he would definitely hit her. Previously, the daughter of a second-rank official was tortured by her in-laws and beaten by her husband all the time. In the end, she was forced to hang herself. He would never allow such a thing to happen to his family.

Therefore, in front of his sister, he still wholeheartedly supports his sister.

Yaoyao had indeed suffered a lot of bullying from Lin Qianqian in the Marquis' Mansion.

He thought that it must be because the prince favored Lin Qianqian, his concubine, that his sister was angry with the prince and didn't want him to touch her, and the two of them were stuck like this.

Cheng Yuanxiu said patiently, "Yaoyao, I know that you are a little arrogant and can't stand seeing a man have a concubine serving him in his courtyard, but aren't all men like this? Besides, this prince only has one concubine, which is much better than the other princes you have been matched with. Some of them have a bunch of children at home, and you, a young girl, will have to be someone's stepmother if you go there."

"If you really don't want Lin Qianqian to stay in the mansion, just find a way to get her out. You have to remember that the prince is your support."

Cheng Jiayao said: "Yes, brother, I know everything."

Take her away? Oh, she got it easy.

Death is her destiny.

Cheng Jiayao looked away intently, and after a moment said, "Brother, go find a way to make the boss of Jade Pavilion afraid to cooperate with Lin Qianqian again."

Cut off her source of income and see how she can still be so arrogant.

She wanted her to be blocked in everything and could only hold her head in her hands and endure the beatings.

"Okay, I'll take note of that." Cheng Yuanxiu said.

"Since Lin Qianqian likes to go out so much, I have an idea." Cheng Jiayao blinked, and a malicious light flashed across her eyes.

"What's the idea?"

"Brother, come closer."

……

After returning home, Lin Qianqian first bent down with the washbasin, washed her hair carefully with hot water, took a shower, and changed her clothes again.

She felt a dull pain in her right shoulder.

The strength in that person's hands was not at the same level as Gu Huai, who did not practice martial arts. A light grab was enough to make people's bones ache unbearably.

When I think about the fact that this kind of person often deals with extremely vicious people, capturing him is no easier than capturing the criminal.

It seems that she has to be more careful next time she goes out.

This time, Lin Qianqian brought over a drawing that she thought was better than the last time and handed it to Mr. Wu from the Jade Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, he looked embarrassed, rubbed his cheeks, and sighed: "Miss Lin, you'd better not send the drawings here again in the future. The master is not satisfied."

"Not satisfied!" Lin Qianqian was shocked.

"Didn't you like it before? And the sales speak for themselves. I saw many young girls on the street wearing the jewelry I designed."

"How can a businessman go against money? I don't believe it."

Boss Wu shook his head. "Well, to be honest, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with Miss Lin, it's that I don't dare and I can't!"

"Our Jade Pavilion is indeed popular because of a few new products designed by young girls. The business that was not very good before suddenly became popular, attracting many young girls. They are all looking forward to the next new product, but, alas..."

Lin Qianqian was stunned.

She sat upright in her seat and lowered her head, "I understand."

When Boss Wu brought it up, she had a bad feeling, and it turned out to be true.
