Yun Chang thought about it for the whole night. When the morning sun shone through the window, she slowly woke up. She decided not to delay any longer in her sleepy eyes. After getting up, she immediately began to prepare to leave Beijing.

Her maternal grandparents' home is far away in Hangzhou, which is separated from the capital by several cities. In theory, the distance is not too far, but it is not close either. Hangzhou has special climatic conditions, dryness is the norm, and the wind and sand are much stronger than in the capital.

Speaking of the supporting actress when she was a child, she was frail and Yunmu was too busy to take care of her. In desperation, she could only send her to her maternal grandparents' home for foster care. She was not brought back to the capital until she was eight years old.

During that time in Hangzhou, the female supporting character met the neighbor brother Huo Beixuan, an illegitimate child who was placed there by his family. If Huo's father had not been sonless and only had a group of daughters, he probably would not have brought him back to the capital.

After learning that Yun Shang was about to leave Beijing, Liu Meir became extremely anxious. She lost her appetite and just stood there blankly, in a trance.

She thought that she couldn't just sit there and worry, she had to do something. As the saying goes, it's easier to fish in troubled waters. After some thought, Liu Meir decided to quietly reveal the news that Yun Shang was leaving Beijing to Ning Xue.

During this period of time, Liu Meir was not idle. She had already found out the spy in the Yun Mansion, who was a little maid named Yin Yin, who was mainly responsible for cleaning the yard and the back garden.

One day, Liu Meier said to Xiaohong, "Xiaohong, let's go to the clothing store and pick out some capes and cloaks. I heard that the wind and sand in Jizhou are very strong and the climate is particularly dry."

Xiao Hong responded, "Okay! Let's ask Miss to go with us! If we leave Beijing, Miss will definitely have to pick two or three pieces. She doesn't even have a cloak right now."

Liu Meir nodded and said, "Okay, let's go see if the young lady is free first. Let's go shopping and buy more things. In the small city of Hangzhou, many small things are not available for sale."

As Liu Meir spoke, she secretly observed Yin Yin who was cleaning diligently nearby with the corner of her eye. After hearing their conversation, Yin Yin stopped cleaning and continued working after a while.

Seeing this, Liu Meir confidently pulled Xiaohong towards the inner courtyard.

Ning Xue soon received the news that Yun Shang was about to leave Beijing, which surprised her very much. Recalling Yun Shang's aggressive look that day, she showed no sign of leaving Beijing at all.

She secretly speculated that maybe Yun Shang was heartbroken because of Huo Lang's cold attitude and sarcastic words towards her!

Ning Xue imagined in her mind the scene where Yun Shang was sad and decided to leave Beijing to avoid Huo Beixuan and heal her emotional wounds alone. She snorted coldly and thought to herself: Humph, you want to leave? Before I leave, I will make Yun Shang sad again.

So Ning Xue asked, "Where is Yun Shang now?"

The servant quickly replied: "I am walking on East Street."

Ning Xue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and said, "Let's go shopping too."

On the other side, Yun Chang was dragged out shopping by Xiao Hong and Liu Meir, feeling helpless. The two little girls kept muttering about the shortage of supplies in Hangzhou and that they wanted to buy some things in advance and bring them over.

But Yunchang felt that a carriage could only carry a limited amount of things, so if she needed anything, she could just buy it in Hangzhou.

But the two little girls insisted that some of the little things there were not for sale, and they also said that they wanted to buy her a cape. If she didn't come out, she didn't know if the young lady would like it. Yun Shang had no choice but to go out with them to have a look, just to satisfy the wishes of the two little girls.

Strolling to East Street, Liu Meir dragged Xiaohong into the Rare Treasure Pavilion. Xiaohong felt timid because the items here were very expensive, and she was short of money, so she wanted to leave.

Yun Shang walked in with big strides. She had been here for a long time, but had not yet carefully browsed the largest jewelry store in the capital. It would be a pity if she didn't take a look.

The last time I cheated Huo Beixuan, I only stopped at the outermost counter for a while and never set foot inside.

The proprietress was not a person who would curry favor with the powerful. When she saw them come in, she also warmly welcomed them.

Seeing that they seemed unable to afford expensive items, he led them to a counter in the corner, where the jewelry was much cheaper.

Yunchang looked at it carefully and found that the style was quite good, small and elegant, suitable for ordinary people to wear.

But if she were to attend a more formal occasion, as the daughter of a fifth-rank official, she would probably look a little shabby in such attire.

"Madam, is there anything better than this place?"

"Yes, of course there is."

The proprietress took Yunchang to another counter, where the jewelry was obviously much more elegant and the gems inlaid were more gorgeous.

Yun Chang looked at them carefully and picked out a headpiece to use for the banquet. Otherwise, if she needed to wear it when going out, it would be inconvenient to buy it at the last minute.

The original owner was reluctant to buy it and saved the money to give to Huo Beixuan, but now she does not have such a burden.

Just as she was watching intently, a man and two women walked in through the door. Yun Shang glanced at them inadvertently and her eyes twitched. They were Ning Xue and Huo Beixuan?

How come I run into them everywhere? Are they deliberately creating chance encounters?

Yun Shang turned away and pretended not to see her, but Ning Xue stepped forward and greeted her, "Miss Yun, we meet again. Are you choosing jewelry?"

Yun Shang gave her a slap on the back of her head and pretended not to hear.

You are so shameless! I made it clear to you last time in the fabric shop that when we meet you, just pretend you don’t know me and there’s no need to greet me. Isn’t that right?

It was just a false pretense, just to show off their affection! He was a scumbag, and the one she was trying so hard to get rid of.

Huo Beixuan naturally also saw Yun Shang. Seeing that she was rude to Ning Xue, he secretly applauded in his heart. He walked forward and grabbed Ning Xue, trying to give her a way out.

"Xiaoxue, don't bother with such an insignificant person."

Yunchang felt nauseous. Since when did she start calling him "Xiaoxue" so affectionately?

She ran straight to the corner and pretended to look at the jewelry in front of the two little girls to see if Ning Xue would be stupid enough to run over.

Then Yun Shang realized that she had really underestimated the woman who was in love. Ning Xue, this woman, actually lowered her status, ran over here and squeezed in behind the counter.

The two little girls quickly stepped aside.

Yun Shang sighed in her heart. It seemed that if she ignored Ning Xue today, she would not give up!

"Ms. Ning, these cabinets are all cheap goods. Do you like them?"

Ning Xue smiled slightly, "Pick some to reward the servants who are sensible and work efficiently."

"Miss Ning is so kindhearted that she even personally selects small items to reward the servants." Yun Shang said coldly.

Ning Xue couldn't laugh anymore. It seemed inappropriate for her to do this given her status.

"Xiaoying, come here and pick one."

"Yes, ma'am."
