Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

"Look at this bracelet. Madam boss, do you have jewelry of comparable value?"

She didn't waste any words and just showed her bracelet.

Then he looked at the person in front of him calmly.

Cui Wu's biological daughter, Cui Ying, had a son and a daughter. She married a wealthy businessman. The couple lived in harmony, had both a son and a daughter, and her parents-in-law were also kind.

Her life can be said to be very happy.

Given her background, being able to marry a wealthy businessman and open a jewelry store can be considered a high-class marriage, right?

I just don’t know whether Concubine Yue was responsible for this.

The proprietress Cui Ying had no idea that the visitor came just for her. She only felt that the visitor was elegant and dignified, even more noble than the wives and daughters of officials she usually met, and even... looked like a queen from the palace.

Moreover, her beauty was rare in Kyoto. He was certain that even if she was not a queen in the palace, she must be a royal relative and of extraordinary status.

After seeing the bracelet on her wrist, his eyes lit up.

"Madam, this jade bracelet is truly a rare treasure. You can't buy such a rare item on the market."

Then, he led her directly into the inner room.

"I did get a few rare items a few days ago, but they are all locked in the warehouse. If you don't mind, please wait here for a moment. I will go get them and let you take a look."

The outer room is for entertaining ordinary guests, while the inner room is for either regular customers or people of distinguished status.

In Cui Ying's eyes, Shen Zhishu is now the second type.

"Thank you."

She nodded without much expression.

It looks very mysterious.

After Cui Ying brought the person into the side room, she told the maid to serve her and then she hurried away to get something.

"I've never been here before, but this one doesn't look any worse than the two you visited before."

Xiaodie was very interested and looked around.

Also specially evaluated.

When Shen Zhishu looked up, he saw the maid pricked up her ears to listen to Xiaodie's words.

"The boss lady is also very likable, isn't she?"

She responded deliberately.

"She looks young, yet she runs a shop like this. I think her family must be very wealthy."

"Our master is the owner of the Kyoto Treasure House. This shop was also a gift from the master to my wife after she gave birth to our little boy."

Xiaodie just finished her muttering.

The maid who was serving silently at the side couldn't help but interject.

"Oh? This is the business of Mr. Fang Qingzhou?"

He saw his master's face was full of surprise, but he knew the owner behind the shop.

Xiaodie understood instantly.

The relationship has come full circle, is it for this reason?

Is there something special here that requires such caution?

"Madam, have you heard of my master?"

The little maid looked very surprised.

“I’ve heard a little bit about this place, but this is my first time here.”

"Madam, I can assure you that the food here is as good as any other. However, since we have not been open for a long time and are not well-known in Kyoto, distinguished guests like you rarely come. But every time someone comes, our lady boss will make sure they leave satisfied."

The little maid looked very proud.

"Qubao Pavilion is the number one antique shop in Kyoto. Boss Fang is very wealthy, so what you said is somewhat credible."

Shen Zhishu also nodded in agreement.

"Then whose daughter is your boss's wife?"

Then he naturally started to inquire about Cui Ying.

The little maid thought Shen Zhishu was just curious and had no guard, so she told him everything she knew.

As long as Shen Zhishu asked, she knew everything without hiding anything.

Xiaodie remained silent. Seeing that her master was asking so many questions, she selected several pieces of jewelry from the shop outside.

"Pack these up, our master wants them."

When you ask someone for information, you have to let them get some benefits.

The more things a maid in a jewelry store sells, the higher her wages will be.

Sure enough, after seeing this, the little maid was very happy and started talking more.

He talked a lot about Cui Ying's daily life, including all sorts of random things.

Shen Zhishu's gaze couldn't help but fall on Xiaodie again.

This girl is really smart.

After just a few short sentences, she had already guessed the purpose of her trip, and she was also very good at dealing with people. This was probably due to her long time in the underworld, where she had acquired the social skills.

"What's your name?"

She immediately understood what Xiaodie meant. It would be good if she could win over the little maid and let her be Cui Ying's spy.

After chatting for another cup of tea, Cui Ying came in holding an exquisite box.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Next, she showed off her treasures one by one.

There is no doubt that they are all fine products. At least the materials alone are worth a lot of money, not to mention the exquisite workmanship.

"This statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, is from the same batch of the official kiln that Miao capital presented to the palace last year. The embryo was extremely special when it was formed, so that this Guanyin statue is seven colors under the sun, just like a rainbow, very beautiful."

Cui Ying shows the treasure in her hand.

This isn't really jewellery.

Shen Zhishu didn't expect that she would take out something like this.

"The Miao capital is far away in the frontier, how did you get this Guanyin statue?"

It's from the same batch as the tribute, but it's not sent to Kyoto to be presented to the emperor. I'm afraid this thing is only available to the Miao capital royal family?

Could a wealthy businessman in Kyoto have such ability?

Shen Zhishu was certain that even the number one treasure pavilion in Kyoto could not produce such a thing.

"This is the slave's way of survival. It's a secret."

Cui Ying looked mysterious.

I’m afraid that even Boss Fang can’t get such a fine product.

Shen Zhishu became more and more suspicious that Cui Ying and Concubine Yue might be having some dealings with each other.

"It's a good thing, but it's not suitable for giving as a gift."

Cui Ying stood under the window and saw that the Guanyin statue was indeed emitting colorful light in the sunlight.

It is indeed very attractive.

But Shen Zhishu refused.

Cui Ying was also stunned. She didn't expect that such a good Guanyin statue could not be sold.

This extremely noble lady was the employer she had her eyes on.

She definitely has the financial resources to buy a Guanyin statue, and judging from her appearance, she seems to need one.

But when I heard her say that she was actually going to give it to someone?

What a mistake. She didn't ask the cabinet clearly beforehand.

"May I ask, Madam, who are you sending off?"

"Now that there is a new female member in the family, we should at least give her a welcome gift."

As he spoke, Shen Zhishu looked through the items in her box one by one.

Could it be a gift for a concubine? Why did he take out the Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth?

It was a blessing that the lady did not get up and leave in anger.

"But your Guanyin statue is really nice. Find a box to put it in. I want it."

Just as she was expressing her feelings, she did not expect that the invaluable lady would suddenly say this.

Cui Ying was suddenly overjoyed.

"Look at these ornaments you have. Although they are exquisite, they are all from foreigners, right? Wearing them in Kyoto will really attract people's attention, and they are not suitable for carrying with you. My family is special, and I can't let anyone catch me. Why don't you go find a suitable one, and I will come to take a look another day."
