The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion

Ruan Shuyan and Bai's eyes fell on her at the same time.

After a brief pause, Bai said, "All that is sent to the palace is tribute. Shuiyun brocade is not well-known, so no matter how unique it is, the palace will not accept it."

Wang Yun smiled slightly: "Madam also said that Shuiyunjin is unique. As long as the empress in the palace has seen it once, are you afraid that there won't be a second time?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ruan Shuyan and Bai immediately exchanged glances.

Bai frowned, "That makes sense, but the problem is that the Ruan family can't get close to the Empress in the palace."

When the gold mine was presented to the Ruan family, the emperor only gave them the title of imperial merchants. Although they were no longer ordinary merchants, the Ruan family could not enter the palace after all.

This is difficult to do.

Ruan Shuyan rubbed her fingertips: "It's not that we can't get close. We can go around from the side."

Bai was surprised: "You mean, let someone else bring Shui Yunjin to the Empress in the palace? But who can bring Shui Yunjin in?"

As far as she knew, Yan'er didn't know many people in the palace.

Ruan Shuyan knew what Bai was thinking as soon as she saw it, and slowly uttered four words: "The Thirteenth Princess."

When Mrs. Bai heard this, she immediately refused: "The Thirteenth Princess is not a good person to get along with, and she has always had feelings for Yuchun. If you go to look for her, it will definitely... No, absolutely not!"

She said this very firmly, but Ruan Shuyan had her own ideas and walked forward to hold Bai's hand.

"I know what mother is worried about. The Thirteenth Princess is indeed difficult to deal with, but my husband is Xie Yuchun. As long as her mind remains unchanged, she will definitely be hostile to me. It is useless to avoid her. It is better to turn this hostility into a bargaining chip and..."

Before Ruan Shuyan finished speaking, she saw the sadness in Bai's eyes and immediately stopped talking. After a while, she spoke again in a muffled voice.

"Mother, I know what's going on. You have to believe me."

Bai turned her head away: "I didn't say I don't believe you, it's just..."

feeling terrible.

Her daughter was born beautiful and had learned etiquette very well. If she had not come from a merchant family, she would not have been so smart as to think too much over trivial matters.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable Bai felt: "Yan'er, let's not rush. Can we take our time to plan Shui Yunjin's matter?"

Ruan Shuyan smiled faintly: "I will listen to mother."

She responded very well, but then turned around and took the Shuiyunjin with Wang Yun.

"Miss, are you going to meet the princess?"

Ruan Shuyan stroked Shui Yunjin: "Not bad."

Wang Yun's eyes flickered slightly: "If I remember correctly, Miss promised Madam that she would plan it slowly."

Ruan Shuyan raised her eyes: "Do you think we can slowly plan in this situation?"

Seeing Wang Yun remained silent, Ruan Shuyan smiled and shook her head: "I don't know what happened on your side, but your urgency must have a reason, and I will naturally not delay it any longer."

In fact, the most crucial thing is that Ruan Shuyan wants to use Shui Yunjin as the Ruan family's signature product, so she will never allow any accidents to happen.

Putting aside her thoughts, Ruan Shuyan signaled Chuntao behind her to take Shui Yunjin away.

At this time, Wang Yun said, "Miss, do you know the cloth shop of the Marquis's wife?"

Ruan Shuyan was startled: "Ruan Shuhuan's cloth shop?"

When she heard the words "Prince's Consort", her first reaction was Ruan Shuhuan.

In fact, her reaction was not wrong.

Wang Yun nodded. "When I went to buy dyes earlier, I met someone by accident. He told me that the Marquis' Mansion bought dyes similar to mine, so I wondered if they were also thinking about making fabrics similar to Shuiyunjin..."

At this point, Wang Yun paused again: "Of course, this is just my guess. The details will depend on the situation at the Marquis' Mansion. Maybe it's just a coincidence, who knows?"

When doing business, one must be absolutely sure of success; she never believes in coincidences.

Ruan Shuyan narrowed her eyes and asked, "When did the Marquis' Mansion buy dye?"

"Two days ago."

Two days ago?

Then they still have time.

"I will try to send Shui Yunjin to the palace within three days."

After leaving a message, Ruan Shuyan brought Chuntao back to the Xie family. After careful consideration, she sent a visiting card to Prince Duan's mansion.

Unfortunately, the visiting card was sent back shortly after it was sent.

Mother Lai said, "I heard it was Princess Duan's idea."

Ruan Shuyan stroked her fingertips, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of her lips: "Send another visiting card to the *** Mansion."

Mother Lai's eyebrows jumped: "Miss, what are you going to do?"

"Don't ask, just send it over first."

Ruan Shuyan closed her eyes and had no intention of explaining to Lai's mother.

Seeing this, Lai's mother did not dare to stay and immediately prepared a new visiting card and sent it to ***'s mansion.

Half an hour later, the new visiting card was also returned.

Ruan Shuyan looked at the two posts in front of her, and the curve of her lips suddenly deepened: "Arrange someone to send out the message that the post has been returned."

Mother Lai quickly stopped her: "You can't send it. Once the news gets out, Miss will become a laughing stock in Beijing."

Two posts were rejected in a row and the news was leaked. It was really damaging to my reputation.

Ruan Shuyan said quietly, "If we don't send it out, how can we attract the Thirteenth Princess?"

Her target has always been the Thirteenth Princess Nalan Jinxiu, and the so-called post was just a bait.

Mother Lai opened her mouth, then lowered her head after a long pause: "I will arrange it right away."

Not long after, the news that Ruan Shuyan handed over two posts spread, causing many people to discuss the matter.

Soon, the news reached Nalan Jinxiu's ears.

At that time, Nalan Jinxiu was at the banquet hosted by the Duke's wife. Listening to the discussion of two noble ladies next to her, she frowned and walked over to ask.

"Are you telling the truth? Were both of the two posts submitted by Ruan Shuyan returned?"

She suddenly spoke, and the two ladies were startled, but they still answered the question truthfully.

"It's true. The two rejected posts were from the *** Palace and the Prince Duan Palace. They are now being circulated everywhere."

Another noble lady thought of Nalan Jinxiu's feelings for Xie Yuchun, and immediately belittled Ruan Shuyan: "Ruan Shuyan is overestimating her own abilities. A merchant's daughter really thinks that by marrying Lord Xie, she can get his favor and ascend to heaven overnight."

"But I didn't expect that the daughter of a merchant would never be able to show up in public, unlike the princess, who is a beautiful girl. She..."

"Snapped!"

A slap hit her hard in the face, and Nalan Jinxiu's face turned black.

"How dare you compare me to a merchant's daughter! What kind of people did this Duke's Mansion hire? Can't you tell the difference between the highest and the lowest?"

After saying that, she slapped him again.

The noble lady was slapped twice and scolded continuously, and she was almost in tears.

"Your Highness, I did not..."

"Clap!"

Nalan Jinxiu slapped him twice more and shouted angrily, "Go back to the palace!"
