Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

The jewelry shop in the Wuning Marquis Mansion was very large. As soon as Su Qin entered, she was attracted by the dazzling array of jewelry inside. She had been in the capital for so long and had never been to a jewelry shop. In her eyes, this jewelry shop was even more upscale than the luxury shops in her previous life.

The jewelry shop is divided into two floors. The first floor is filled with ordinary jewelry for ordinary people to choose from, and the second floor is private rooms for the families of dignitaries to choose from.

Su Qin went upstairs. She didn't have any maids with her. The ones who came with her were Aunt Zhang and Fuqi. Fuqi was guarding the door and didn't come in, so only Aunt Zhang came in with Su Qin.

The receptionist on the second floor saw that although Su Qin was well-dressed, she was only followed by a maid. For a moment, he was unsure of her status.

Generally, when a lady goes out, she is followed by several people. There are two maids alone, as well as second-class maids and guards. Therefore, when he saw Su Qin was accompanied by only one maid, he was not sure about her identity, and did not know how to receive her for a while.

Su Qin didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She asked, "Is it possible to order custom jewelry here?"

The servant nodded: "Sure."

Su Qin took out her drawings and handed them to the servant: "Could you please take a look at these and see if they can be made? I'll provide the materials myself."

The servant took the drawing and looked at it. Su Qin's drawing was a bit complicated. She drew twelve complete sets of headgear based on the jewelry of the twelve flower gods that she saw on the Internet in her previous life.

These twelve sets of headpieces are not just twelve or thirteen pieces like ordinary headpieces. The smallest set has over twenty pieces, and the largest set, the peony flower set, has a whopping fifty! Just by looking at the drawings, one can feel the elegance and value of this set of headpieces.

The servant's expression was normal at first when he looked at the drawings, but as he flipped through them one by one, his face gradually became shocked. In the end, his eyes widened and his voice began to tremble: "Girl, these pieces of jewelry...are you really going to make all of them?"

Su Qin nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, can we do it?"

The servant was suddenly a little panicked: "Please wait a moment, I will find someone to help you inquire about the situation."

After saying that, he turned around and ran back. After a few steps, he suddenly turned back and asked Su Qin to go into a private room next to him and sit down. He said, "Miss, please wait here for a moment."

Su Qin followed him into the private room. The waiter brought some tea and cakes and then left in a hurry.

Su Qin didn't have to wait long, and before she had even finished her cup of tea, the wife of Marquis Wuning arrived.

The door opened slightly, Su Qin looked up and saw a lady standing at the door with a face as rosy as a peach, a smile as beautiful as a flower, and gentle and graceful like a fairy.

To be honest, even though Su Qin had been here for five years, she hadn't actually seen many noble ladies. However, in her previous life, she had seen many beauties of all kinds, whether plump or slender, gorgeous or gentle, smart and capable, and many other types. However, even so, she had never met a beauty as stunning as the wife of the Marquis of Wuning.

The Marquis of Wuning's wife was stunningly beautiful, her eyes radiating endless charm, like a hook that could ensnare someone. Yet, at the same time, her smile was so serene and gentle, like a spring breeze that brought warmth and comfort. Su Qin had never imagined a woman could combine such perfect beauty and gentleness, and for a moment, she was stunned.

She had long known that the Marquis of Wuning's wife was Tong Zhongqian's younger sister. Speaking of Tong Zhongqian, she had seen him firsthand. He came across as a cold, hard man, handsome and heroic, with a calm and reserved demeanor. Yet, his expression was always stern and intimidating. So, when she heard about the relationship between the Marquis of Wuning's wife and Tong Zhongqian, she instinctively assumed that even though the wife's appearance differed from her brother's, her personality would be similar—at the very least, a serious and dignified demeanor. However, she never expected the reality to be quite the opposite!

Just when Su Qin was still immersed in her own thoughts and distracted, she suddenly heard a sound of light footsteps, and then saw the wife of Marquis Wuning walking into the room with a smile on her face and a graceful figure.

The lady opened her red lips and asked softly, "You are the Miss Zeng, right?"

Only then did Su Qin come to her senses as if waking from a dream. She quickly stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, "My daughter greets the Marquis' wife."

Seeing this, the wife of the Marquis of Wuning gently raised her hand and said with a smile as clear and sweet as a yellow oriole singing in a valley, "No need to be so polite. Please stand up quickly."

Oh my god, this voice is so sweet and gentle! It even made Su Qin feel dazed. She couldn't imagine that Tong Zhongqian, who usually spoke in a rigid and cold manner like an iceberg, actually had such a gentle and tender sister.

After the wife of Marquis Wuning gracefully took her seat, she turned to look at Su Qin, who was still standing there, and said with a smile, "Miss Zeng, please take a seat."

Su Qin had always been a casual person, rarely shy. However, at this moment, facing this beautiful and gentle lady, she felt an inexplicable sense of shyness.

After she slowly sat down, she kept her head slightly lowered, never daring to look directly at the beautiful face of the Marquis of Wuning's wife, as if even a glance at her would be a great offense to her.

At this moment, the soft and melodious voice of the Marquis of Wuning's wife echoed above Su Qin's head like the sound of nature: "Recently, Lu Sheng has been talking about Miss Zeng in my ear almost every day! He praises you highly, constantly praising your extraordinary intelligence and outstanding abilities.

To be honest, I've never seen him admire someone so much! Seeing him busy these days, finally finding something serious to do, the whole person has become full of energy and radiant. As a mother, I can't tell you how happy I am!

So, I am truly grateful from the bottom of my heart for giving him such a great opportunity and for making such a huge transformation!"

Su Qin's cheeks flushed, like the sunset glow that had stained the sky. She raised her head slightly with a hint of shyness. Her beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of uneasiness as she slowly shifted her gaze to the well-defined lips of the Marquis of Wuning. She said softly, "Madam Marquis, your compliment is truly too kind! I am truly flattered."

I should express my sincere gratitude to the Marquis' Mansion. Without the strong support and help from the Marquis' Mansion, no matter how many ideas and ambitions I had, it would probably be difficult to realize them.

Besides, Master Qi is incredibly intelligent, talented, and capable. Even without my assistance, as long as he's given the opportunity to showcase his talents, he'll surely be able to handle things properly and in an orderly manner."

As a mother, she was naturally delighted to see her son praised, but at the same time, a hint of sadness crept onto her face. She frowned slightly and sighed softly, "Our Marquisate is in a truly awkward situation right now! These past few years have been incredibly difficult. The Marquis is in his prime, supposedly galloping across the battlefield, making great achievements, but now he's forced to remain idle at home, surrounded by poetry and paintings. For a once-awesome military commander like him, this is undoubtedly an extremely oppressive and painful torture."

At this point, the mother's eyes grew increasingly dim, and she continued, "What's even more worrying is that, fearing suspicion, the Marquis doesn't even dare to raise our two sons to excel. Our eldest son, the Crown Prince, is constantly away from home, rarely returning home once a year; and our second son, though naturally intelligent, is forced to pretend to be an unlearned and unskilled dandy. Whenever I think of this, my heart, as a mother, feels an unbearable pain, as if being stabbed by needles."

"There was a time when I truly believed my sons would live their lives in mediocrity. However, it was your presence that gave them a rare opportunity and opened the door to a completely different path for the Marquisate. Therefore, I am filled with endless gratitude to you from the bottom of my heart."
