Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Gu Qingyuan didn't hear anything unusual in his words, and nodded when he asked.

"Yes, this is Bing Cui. I think Master Shen will like it too."

But Wen Shubai stared at the piece of icy jade, took it in his hand and looked at it, then said seriously, "This is the first time I've heard of this kind of jade."

"Really?"

Since Wen Shubai heard about it for the first time, doesn't that prove that this kind of jade is rare and therefore more precious?

Gu Qingyuan thought happily in her heart that she had gotten a great bargain. She could buy such a rare jade for only three hundred taels of silver.

Wen Shubai looked at her expression and couldn't bear to pour cold water on her.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he pushed the piece of mutton-fat jade in front of her again and smiled gently.

"I really like this piece of ice jade. So, I'll trade it with you."

"What? You want to switch with me?"

"Yes," he closed the icy jade box, not letting her take another look, and then said, "Now you can finally accept the mutton-fat jade with peace of mind, right?"

Gu Qingyuan hesitated for a long time, wondering whether she should switch with him.

"When I went to buy jade, the boss said this kind of ice jade is very popular. She had an old customer who loved it very much. She also said that she sold it to me at a loss..."

Wen Shubai was truly helpless this time. "You believe what the boss says? Who in this world would do a business that loses money?"

"Maybe she and I are more compatible." Gu Qingyuan continued to argue.

Wen Shubai rarely spoke to Gu Qingyuan for a long time. He said, "These are just business tricks. She says you're destined to be with her today in order to sell something, and tomorrow she'll be destined to be with someone else. Isn't this all about doing business?"

Gu Qingyuan touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense, but..."

She couldn't possibly admit that she might have been deceived, could she?

She snatched the box from Wen Shubai's hand again, placed it in front of herself, and clasped her arms around it as if she was afraid he would snatch it away.

"Don't worry about it. I have my own plans. I won't take your things. You can go back first."

"Little Lord……"

Wen Shubai wanted to continue persuading her, but Gu Qingyuan stood up with the box, leaving him with her back.

That's it.

Wen Shubai lowered his head and planned to look back to see if he could switch the two pieces of jade.

Master Shen is a connoisseur of value. If Gu Qingyuan gave her this jadeite, whose origin is unknown and cannot even be called jade, it would be even more difficult for her to enter the academy.

Wen Shubai could only leave with the mutton-fat jade. Yu Shui saw him coming back and asked, "Master, did the young master accept it?"

He shook his head and asked Yu Shui to put the box away. He would find an opportunity to give the thing back to Gu Qingyuan.

……

"Chunfen, go and help me find some books about jade." After Wen Shubai left, Gu Qingyuan mysteriously found Chunfen and asked her to help find books about jade.

Chunfen didn't understand what Gu Qingyuan was going to do, but she had no choice but to follow her instructions. She turned around and went to the library to look for books. Gu Qingyuan actually already had the answer in her heart, but she didn't give up and always held on to the last glimmer of hope.

While Chunfen was looking for books, Gu Qingyuan was also trying every possible way to collect information about jade.

The boss's words were true and false, and Gu Qingyuan suddenly regretted that she had believed the boss's words.

Another two days passed.

Gu Qingyuan looked up from the book with a dusty face. Wen Shubai was right. There was no information about Bing Cui in the book at all.

The jade discovered so far can be divided into nephrite and jadeite according to their hardness, as the boss said.

The more Gu Qingyuan looked at this so-called ice jade, the more it looked like glass. Its color was very similar to jadeite, even to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing.

But if you look closely, you will find that this ice jade looks like a kind of natural glass.

She, Gu Qingyuan, was actually cheated when she bought something!

Gu Qingyuan picked up the piece of ice jade and rushed out of the general's mansion and came to the store where he bought the jade two days ago.

Last time she spent three hundred taels to buy this unwanted ice jade, the boss and the employees all called Gu Qingyuan "Yuan Datou" (sucker) behind her back.

At this time, seeing Gu Qingyuan coming again, the waiter immediately stepped forward to greet him in person.

"Sir, we have a new batch of goods. Would you like to take a look? Our boss specially reserved them for you..."

Gu Qingyuan gave the guy a glare and he shut up instantly. She took big steps and it seemed like the wind was blowing under her feet when she walked.

When she arrived in front of the counter, Gu Qingyuan's aura shocked even the knowledgeable boss, who looked up at her.

Gu Qingyuan slammed the box on the counter. Due to the speed of the action, the box made a loud noise when it hit the counter. The customers in the store trembled when they heard it and looked over here.

The boss smiled and said in a flattering tone, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong? I wanted to ask you what's wrong with you!"

"Sir, I really don't understand what you mean by this."

Gu Qingyuan sneered and said again: "Cheating customers and charging exorbitant prices, is this the attitude of your store?"

Hearing Gu Qingyuan say this, the other customers around also looked over. The boss pulled Gu Qingyuan aside and said, "Auntie, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't delay my business. Hey, you..."

Gu Qingyuan suddenly shouted into the store, "This store deceives customers by selling inferior goods as good ones, and will bully uninformed customers by charging exorbitant prices. Everyone better keep your eyes open before buying!"

The customer who was selecting jade put down his jade, seeing the business was about to run away. The boss also shouted at the top of his voice: "Isn't it because you are from the general's mansion that I didn't give you a discount? You should know that my shop is fair to everyone. Even members of the royal family come and the price is the same."

Hearing the boss's words, the people around began to talk in low voices.

"So that's how it is. Gu Qingyuan from the General's Mansion is using her power to bully others. The boss treats all customers equally, but this has actually made her unhappy. The General's Mansion doesn't seem to be short of money, and this Gu Qingyuan is trying to take advantage of this."

"Yeah, I think she is a disgrace to General Gu. General Gu is such a good man, how could he have given birth to a daughter like Gu Qingyuan."

"Hush, please keep your voice down. I heard that when Master Qi from the Qi Family Grain Store was looking for a bride, Gu Qingyuan chased everyone else away and took the ball herself."

"What? There is such a thing."

"When the young master of the Qi family heard that he was going to marry into the Gu family, he cried every day!"

Several women who came to the jade shop to choose jade looked at Gu Qingyuan and started talking, shaking their heads as they spoke.

Gu Qingyuan's hearing had become much sharper after practicing martial arts. Even though they lowered their voices, she could still hear everything clearly.
