"As long as your invitation arrives, I will definitely go to the Jiang residence to congratulate you." Yuan Buwei smiled in response, "It's getting late, sister, go back early."

"Sister, aren't you going to come back?"

"Han'er hasn't picked out the jewelry she likes yet, so I want to take her to choose some more."

Yuan Jinse glanced around the almost empty shop and chuckled, "Sister, if you can't find anything in this shop, you can go to another one. In fact, I just happened to come to this shop today. My husband always said that I am the future mistress of the Jiang family and represent the face of the Jiang family, so what I wear must be rich and stable, and I can't wear the same thing all the time. This is giving me a headache."

Yuan Buwei knew better than Yuan Jinse how stingy the Jiang family was.

But she said this only to arouse her envy and jealousy: "I feel relieved if my brother-in-law treats you well."

"But what you are wearing and what you are wearing on your head are all last year's styles." As soon as Lu Han opened his mouth, Yuan Jinse's smile froze. "The hem of your dress is unraveling. You are the future mistress of the Jiang family, and you are wearing a dress with unraveling threads. This is really a disgrace to the Jiang family."

"What nonsense are you talking about? This was specially made for Madam by an embroiderer." Qiu He replied angrily, "I think you are just jealous of my Madam's good life. You are jealous."

"Qiuhe, don't be so presumptuous." Yuan Jinse glared at the maid and looked at Yuan Buwei, "Sister, don't be angry. Qiuhe also cares about me."

"It's okay, sister, you should go home first, so as not to worry your brother-in-law."

"That's right." Yuan Jinse nodded, looked at Lu Han, and then picked a pair of earrings from the pile of jewelry she had just bought and stuffed them into her hands. "My first meeting with the Third Miss was a bit unpleasant, so this pair of earrings should be my apology to the Third Miss."

If Lu Han remembered correctly, this pair of earrings was given to Yuan Jinse by the shopkeeper just now.

She is just trying to annoy people.

But before she could fight back, Yuan Jinse left in a swagger.

After making sure that Yuan Jinse had left, Yuan Buwei turned around and looked at the shopkeeper who was using an abacus with a beaming face: "Shopkeeper, how about I keep my word, right?"

"Miss, you are really a talent. You helped me clear several years' worth of inventory in less than an hour." The shopkeeper looked very happy, his fingers ticking quickly on the abacus. "I calculated, the total for you is 210 taels. I'll round it up to 220 for you."

"Two hundred and two?" Lu Han was shocked when he heard it. "You made so much in just a short while? I only took eighty taels with me today."

"Those girls all thought that Yuan Jinse was definitely the wife of the top scholar, so they would buy whatever she bought." Yuan Buwei smiled at the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, before the results of the autumn imperial examination are announced, you should seize the opportunity and make a fortune."

"Miss, you are exactly what I like. Wait for me a moment. I will get you the most precious treasure in my shop." The shopkeeper turned and went into the house. Soon, he brought a wooden tray mysteriously. After lifting the red veil, he found a phoenix crown on it. "This phoenix crown is called the Pearl Ruyi Phoenix Crown. The pearls inlaid on it are all top-grade pearls from the East China Sea. It was originally made for a customer, but the man found a better phoenix crown for the woman, so this one has never been sold. Miss, you helped me make a lot of money today. If you really want it, I can give you a discount. You can buy it back for 100 taels."

Lu Han was tempted by the idea of buying a phoenix crown for one hundred taels, and one that was inlaid with top-quality pearls from the East China Sea.

Yuan Buwei asked calmly, "How much did the shopkeeper originally plan to sell it for?"

"I originally wanted to sell it for 300 yuan, but some customers thought it was expensive after seeing it, and because it was something that no one else wanted, so..."

"Yes, sister-in-law, this is something others don't want. Will it be bad if we buy it back?"

"Shopkeeper, pack it up. I want this phoenix crown." Yuan Buwei slapped the table with her right hand, "Just give me another 120 taels."

"Girl, you're so straightforward. I'll pack it for you right away."

"To sum it up, we didn't spend a penny today, but we got a phoenix crown and earned 120 taels." Yuan Buwei raised her eyebrows, "This is all thanks to Yuan Jinse and those noble ladies. I really hope the announcement of the autumn examination results can be extended a little longer."

When Lu Han heard this, he realized that this was indeed the case and immediately felt that the phoenix crown was well worth the purchase.

When I left the shop, it was completely dark.

Chu Batian personally sent the two to Wanning Marquis Mansion.

"Uncle Chu, I forgot to ask, Jiang Wankun's son hasn't come to Yueshangshao again, right?"

"He doesn't dare to come to Yueshangshao now, but I asked someone to inquire about it. It seems that he went to gamble somewhere else. You know, there are more than one gambling house in Beijing. Even other gambling houses can't compare with Yueshangshao's high-quality service. Next time you come to Yueshangshao, your uncle will take you to experience it."

"I wouldn't dare to do that. If Uncle Chu sold me out, I wouldn't even have a place to cry."

Chu Batian was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "I like your straightforward temper. Okay, go in, don't let the young marquis worry. If there is anything, I will let Chen Hao send you a message."

"Well, Uncle Chu, you should be careful when you go back."

"it is good."

After watching Chu Batian's carriage disappear from sight, Yuan Buwei, Lu Han and Yun Ling entered the mansion.

When Chu Batian returned, he bought some wontons on the street. They were made by an old lady and tasted like his childhood memories.

"Yuanduo, Yuanduo, quickly call everyone out. I brought you wontons. They are all made of meat and are very delicious."

"My boss."

Yuan Duo walked in quickly and whispered something in Chu Batian's ear.

Chu Batian's expression changed: "Where is the person now?"

"Because we know her identity, we just locked her up in the backyard." Yuan Duo thought for a moment and said, "Should we let Chen Hao send a message to the young lady?"

"Need not."

Chu Batian showed a sneer on his face: "She came here on her own initiative, what does it have to do with Xiao Wei'er? Call the other three people over, let's finish eating wontons, and then go meet Deputy General Mu."

Wanning Marquis Mansion.

After meeting Lu Sui, Yuan Buwei went to the kitchen to find something to eat, and Chenxiang told her what happened in the morning.

"She hasn't come back yet?"

Seeing Chenxiang shaking his head, Yuan Buwei instantly understood that Mu Qing might have been captured by Yue Shangshao's people.

"Okay, I get it. Thank you for your hard work, Chenxiang."

"It's not hard for me, but I'm afraid that Vice Admiral Mu will find out the flaws. And if she goes to the moon, what if..."

"Don't worry, Uncle Chu knows his limits. Besides, I didn't ask her to go. People have to suffer a little before they learn to be restrained." Yuan Buwei smiled gently, "Chenxiang, give me a bowl of plain noodles. I haven't eaten much all day and my stomach is growling with hunger."

"Okay, I'll do it for you now."

A room in the backyard of the moon.

Mu Qing, who was sitting on the ground, was suddenly awakened by the cold water.
