As it got darker, the number of people in Jinyu Tower became smaller and smaller, with only groups of three or four people still staying there drinking.

Wan Xuan lay on the cabinet at the door and asked Wen Yan who was doing the accounts, "Mom, why hasn't my second sister come back yet?"

Wen Yan was also worried, but she kept calculating. She said, "It will be soon."

Although Wan Xiaqing was impulsive and thoughtless in some things, she was just too sentimental and emotional most of the time. She should be given some time to accept the facts, even though she hadn't told the whole truth yet.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Just when Wen Yan was becoming increasingly anxious, she finally saw Wan Xiaqing floating in from outside like a ghost.

She looked listless, her clothes were wrinkled, and no one knew where she came from.

He glanced at Wen Yan, who looked very tired.

Wen Yan frowned, went over and hugged her gently: "What's wrong?"

Wan Xiaqing's eyes were wet. She still couldn't believe that her biological father seemed to want to kill them. She hugged Wen Yan greedily. Her throat was tight, "Mom, I want to eat."

Wan Xuan felt the deep sadness in Wan Xiaqing's heart, and she also sobbed and hugged them.

Finally, Wen Yan cooked the meal herself. She simply made a big bowl of noodles, paired it with the braised dishes from upstairs, and served it hot to the three of them.

Wan Xiaqing finished eating without saying a word and finally calmed down a lot.

But she still couldn't believe what she saw that afternoon. Jiu Yue's father was going to marry the princess? What would they do then?

When Jinyu Tower closed, the family originally wanted to find an inn to rest for the night, but they could not resist Yue Xueshun's warm hospitality, so they took everyone to stay at Yue's house.

The Yue family was naturally very welcoming to them and provided them with very thorough hospitality.

The next morning, Wen Yan was still half asleep when the butler's voice came out unexpectedly: "A space object has been detected and is gradually approaching."

As soon as she understood what the housekeeper was saying, Wen Yan was no longer sleepy, "Quick, point it out to me."

He quickly put on his clothes and followed the housekeeper's instructions. The last time the space was produced, the space was much larger, and there was an additional livestock farm. The livestock farm raised some chickens and ducks, but it was mainly used to train the red bird and its subordinates. Now, except for the red bird, the other gray birds are becoming more and more intelligent, and their bodies are getting smaller and smaller. They are simply tailor-made for communication.

Wen Yan didn't plan to continue raising chickens and ducks. She had a male and a female chicken in the space before. After a few days of not eating, the two chickens looked like they had become spirits, and she couldn't eat them at all. Now the chicken couple has given birth to ten more chicks, and they chirp every day in the space.

"Master, it's right in front."

Wen Yan didn't expect that the clue this time would be in Yue's house. After passing through an archway, she saw Mo Anfu leading a businessman-like man to Old Master Yue's room, with a servant behind him holding a small wooden box. The space item the housekeeper mentioned was in this small box.

Mo Anfu had already seen Wen Yan, and he quickly greeted her: "Madam Wen, why are you up so early? Didn't you sleep well?"

"I slept well, but what are you doing, Butler Mo..."

Mo Anfu was a shrewd man. He could tell at a glance that Wen Yan was interested in this. Although he didn't know why Wen Yan was interested in this thing, he didn't ask and introduced it to the two people directly: "This is Bao, the shopkeeper from Kangmen County. He specializes in antique business. He got a pair of earrings some time ago and came to see the old man to see if they are antiques from the old dynasty."

Then he said to Bao Rongxuan behind him: "This is Madam Wen, my master's savior."

Mo Anfu's words gave Wen Yan enough face. Bao Rongxuan, who had been disdainful at first, immediately corrected his attitude, "Madam Wen. Since you are Mr. Yue's lifesaver, you are also my benefactor. Madam Wen, you can just call me **."

Wen Yan quickly refused, looking humble: "Boss Bao, may I take a look at these earrings?"

Bao Rongxian hesitated for a moment and nodded.

A group of people went to look for Yue Hongze together. Now the old man was getting better and better. When they came over, he was practicing Tai Chi in loose clothes. In the misty air, Yue Hongze's face was ruddy and he didn't look tired at all.

Several people waited quietly by the side, waiting for him to finish the ceremony.

Yue Hongze took the towel and wiped his sweat, then greeted them, "Madam Wen, Brother Bao, sorry for the wait."

Bao Rongxuan quickly laughed and said, "No, no, I interrupted you all of a sudden."

After inviting a few people into the house and chatting for a while, Bao Rongxuan went straight to the point of his visit: "Brother Yue, please take a look at this pair of earrings. In my opinion, they are indeed antiques, and the workmanship is very fine, but the jade on the earrings seems to have lost its luster and is very dim."

Having said this, he opened the box.

The earrings are only the size of a finger, with a Ruyi-style kingfisher feather craftsmanship, a white pearl inlaid in the middle, and three teardrop-shaped jades hanging below.

"Brother Yue, is this the rumored Ruyi Emerald Green Jade Earrings?"

Yue Hongze took a magnifying glass and observed the earrings carefully. After looking at them for a long time, he finally shook his head and said, "It is indeed very similar, but it should be a replica. The rumored green jade earrings are made of full green jadeite, not jadeite of this color."

Bao Rongxuan felt a little disappointed after hearing this, and then said, "But this dot of jadeite is made with excellent craftsmanship. Even if it is a replica, it should be able to sell for a hundred taels of silver."

"That's right, one hundred taels of silver is enough." Yue Hongze affirmed.

When Wen Yan heard them say that it was not genuine, she couldn't help but feel moved. After the group left, Wen Yan hurriedly called Bao Rongxuan: "Boss Bao, please stay!"

Bao Rongxuan paused and asked in confusion, "Madam Wen, is there anything else?"

This place is just about to reach the main gate, and the Yue family is gone. Wen Yan finally spoke, "Boss Bao, to be honest, I really like your earrings. Can you sell them to me? The price is negotiable."

That's what happened.

Bao Rongxuan showed a helpless look: "Madam Wen, based on your friendship with Brother Yue, if I can give it to you, I will definitely give it to you. But it is very unfortunate that when I just got this pair of earrings that day, the seventh concubine of our county magistrate saw it and she had already reserved it."

Wen Yan was stunned. It was such an unfortunate coincidence.

Bao Rongxian was very impressed by Wen Yan's idea when she came up with it when the Yue family was not around. If she had brought it up in front of Brother Yue, he would not be able to come up with an idea and would definitely have been scolded by him.

Bao Rongxuan pondered over it and became more fond of Wen Yan. Seeing her dejected expression, he couldn't help but say, "The county magistrate of Kangmen County is the most powerful. This Seventh Aunt is very favored now. I dare not offend her. But..."

Wen Yan looked over, and hope gradually appeared in her eyes: "But?"
