Princess Promotion

Sister Liu didn't expect An Tian to directly admit that he was here to cheat people out of their money, without caring about the reputation of Xueyue Tower at all. If An Tian was really allowed to leave, the Zhao family would be in a dilemma.

Giving money to An Tian to earn? Wouldn't that make him the sucker?

Going back on their word without paying? Aristocratic families valued their reputation the most and would never break their promise for a mere 1,000 taels of silver.

Seeing that An Tian refused to budge, Liu Jieer could only give in and said, "I will take Manager An to see my young lady right away."

An Tian then stopped walking out, turned around to look at Sister Liu and said, "Let's go!"

Unexpectedly, An Tian agreed so readily. Sister Liu couldn't help but wonder if An Tian was bluffing!

Sister Liu probed, "Men are not allowed in the backyard. The guards behind you can just wait in the front yard."

An Tian actually nodded to indicate that it was no problem. Liu Jie'er was secretly happy in her heart. She was still a little too young to fight with her. Without these guards, she would just stay in another place, and then she would be at her mercy.

Before Sister Liu could feel proud for long, she heard An Tian say to Zhou Pojun, "If I don't come out in half an hour, go to the government office and report that the Zhao family has detained your shopkeeper without authorization. Send the officers to look for him."

Sister Liu was stunned for a moment and looked at An Tian. An Tian curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile, as if to say, you can try and see if I dare to report the case to the authorities.

It turns out that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

Sister Liu became completely obedient and turned around to take An Tian to the back garden to find Zhao Wanqing.

Liu Jie'er took a few steps and found An Tian standing still. She asked, "What happened?"

This time, An Tian didn't say anything. Instead, He Yuzhen pointed at the box that the guards had been carrying behind them and said, "Outside men are not allowed to enter the backyard. How can we bring this pure dew in? Are we going to let your young lady choose it based on her imagination?"

If He Yuzhen hadn't said it, Liu Jie'er would have almost forgotten that An Tian was selling pure water door-to-door. Who has ever seen someone selling things so arrogantly?

He Yuzhen randomly pointed to two servants and said, "You two go and carry it."

Just as the servant was about to step forward, He Yuzhen intervened, saying, "This box containing the pure dew is specially crafted from golden nanmu wood. It weighs over a hundred pounds, and an untrained person wouldn't be able to lift it steadily. If the pure dew in it gets dented, who's responsible?"

Liu Jie'er knew how An Tian could suddenly become obedient and want to go in with her. It turned out that he was waiting for her here.

Liu Jie'er originally wanted to say that the Zhao family was so wealthy that they would not be able to afford to compensate for a few bottles of pure water, but then she thought of An Tian's shameless look in asking for money just now.

It is very likely that An Tian would wait for the servant to lift the box and then deliberately trip the servant, and then ask the Zhao family to pay compensation. It is not impossible for her to do such a wicked thing.

The words that Liu Jie'er was about to say suddenly took a sharp turn, "So what do you want? Anyway, it's the rule that outsiders can't enter the backyard."

He Yuzhen rolled her eyes and said, "Isn't it said that the Zhao family is wealthy and powerful? Wouldn't it be better to find a few dozen boys to each carry a bottle and not go in?"

Sister Liu still has some say in the Zhao Mansion, so it's not difficult to find someone to help get it. The problem is...

"Why do you need a boy?" Sister Liu asked in confusion.

He Yuzhen said: "The pure dew in our Xueyue Tower is selected from flower buds, and the water used is the morning dew..."

He Yuzhen talked about how precious this pure dew was, and how to use a virgin's body to reduce the pollution of foul air...

Liu Jie'er didn't believe a word He Yuzhen said. She was just looking for an excuse to leave Zhao's house and get the 1,000 taels of silver for her errands for free.

Can she make this woman's wish come true?

It’s just a few dozen children, she can just look for them.

If Sister Liu really let An Tian and the others leave like this, she probably wouldn't have any use for herself in the Zhao Mansion.

Liu Jie'er gave a few instructions to the maidservants around her, and soon the maidservants came over one after another with several servants and children.

Soon the old woman gathered more than thirty slaves and children and lined them up in an orderly manner.

Seeing An Tian nodded, He Yuzhen took out the key and opened the box.

With a "click" sound, the box slowly opened, and the scene inside the box made everyone present hold their breath.

Bottles of pure water in glass bottles emit a faint glow under the sunlight.

Each bottle of pure water is packed in a carefully crafted glass bottle. The exquisite craftsmanship and gorgeous colors of these bottles are enough to make people breathtaking.

Even Liu Jie'er, who had been with Zhao Wanqing since she was a child and had seen many rare treasures, was so shocked by the glass bottle containing pure dew that she was speechless.

No wonder He Yuzhen repeatedly emphasized the preciousness of this pure dew. This glass bottle containing the pure dew alone is worth a fortune.

Now there was no need for He Yuzhen, and Liu Jieer said nervously: "These are worth a fortune. If they get knocked or damaged, I can't afford the compensation even if I sell you."

An Tian turned around at this time. Although he was facing Zhou Pojun, his eyes were looking at Li Yi and he said, "You guys just wait here for me. This is the Zhao Mansion and you can't walk around casually!"

An Tian has been looking for Zhou Chengxi these two days. Fu Hongxuan is looking for him openly, while she is looking for him secretly through all kinds of people.

It has to be said that the Yun family is really capable. She has been searching for so long but has not found any useful information. If it weren't for Yao Chuguang's deduction that Zhou Chengxi was still in Yundu City.

An Tian even suspected that Zhou Chengxi had already fled to the western border.

Just now, An Tian noticed a little boy who was about the same height as Zhou Chengxi. He looked timid and was always standing at the edge of the crowd.

Although he was inconspicuous, An Tian still observed the little boy calmly. Although his face was sallow and dark, his facial features were somewhat similar to Zhou Mingrui in the palace.

An Tian also noticed that when the boy reached out to take the pure dew, the skin on his arm was much whiter than the skin on his face.

An Tian curled up the corners of her lips imperceptibly and said, "I found you, Zhou Chengxi."

If the similarity in height and appearance was just a coincidence, An Tian had never seen the real Zhou Chengxi after all.

But the color difference between the face and the hands is so great that there is only one possibility: the face was deliberately blackened to cover up the appearance.

The skin color of the hands cannot be disguised at all. Even if you apply it on your hands, the true color will be revealed as soon as you work or wash your hands.

Moreover, since precious pure water was to be transported today, He Yuzhen had specifically instructed that the students must wash their hands.

When Li Yi heard He Yuzhen asking Liu Jie'er to ask the boy in the mansion to transport the pure dew, he realized that An Tian wanted to use Liu Jie'er to screen it first to see if Zhou Chengxi could be found.

Now An Tian deliberately winked at him, and Li Yi immediately realized that An Tian had found Zhou Chengxi.

At this moment, Li Yi suppressed his excitement. If he showed any abnormality or walked away immediately, it would definitely alert the enemy.

After An Tian and the others had completely left with the group of boys, they signaled Zhou Pojun with their eyes, and the two of them immediately pretended to have stomach discomfort and wanted to go to the toilet.

The servants of the Zhao Mansion did not make things difficult for them, nor did they dare to do so. They just pointed in a direction and let them go by themselves.

After Li Yi and Zhou Pojun escaped the servants' gazes, Li Yi whispered, "You climb over the wall and leave the mansion to tell the general that the person has been found. I'll sneak into the back garden and keep an eye on him to prevent anyone from escaping from the Zhao Mansion."

Zhou Pojun nodded to show that he understood, and the two of them began to act separately.

Zhao Wanqing sat in the pavilion in the back garden, enjoying the flattery of the crowd. She was surrounded by carefully trimmed flowers and trees and gurgling water, creating a tranquil and elegant scene.

Thinking that An Tian might be locked up in the servant's room at this moment, probably anxiously waiting for her call, Zhao Wanqing's mouth corners unconsciously rose, with a bit of pride and anticipation in her smile.

It would be such a pleasant picture to think that An Tian had to bow down and try his best to please himself for that little bit of money.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wanqing's smile widened, and she ordered the maid beside her, "Go, bring An Tian here."

The maid was slightly startled when she heard this, then nodded in acceptance and was about to leave.

Suddenly, a cry of exclamation was heard in the garden. Zhao Wanqing looked up and saw a row of boys walking slowly and neatly in the distance, pretending to be her family's servants.

However, what really made everyone present hold their breath and stare were the glass bottles in the hands of the boys.

Under the sunlight, each bottle of pure dew seems to be given life, and the bright light is like stars, flashing with dazzling colors.

Even though the distance was still far and the specific details could not be seen clearly, the light was like a rainbow, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland.

For a moment, all eyes were attracted by the shining glass bottles, and even breathing seemed to become gentle, for fear of disturbing the tranquility and beauty.

The ladies were whispering to each other, their voices filled with disbelief and amazement.

"Oh my god, what is that bottle? It seems to be glowing, as if the stars in the sky have fallen into the earth. It's so beautiful!"

"This glass bottle of pure dew is truly a rare treasure rarely seen in the world."

I have to say, this appearance was indeed shocking enough that Zhao Wanqing ignored An Tian's eyes which were glued to the glass bottle of pure dew.

And An Tian felt like she was strolling in her own garden.
