It's not worth spending money on this issue.

To prevent it from happening, just avoid him in the future.

Shen Muxue inspected the shop and inquired about the progress of the embroidered satin. The shopkeeper replied respectfully, "Master, the goods have arrived. The second master has ordered that they be put into storage and sold in batches in the near future, with a daily sales limit of ten pieces to create a situation where supply exceeds demand."

Shen Muxue then added: "Then the daily price of these ten pieces of cloth will double."

The shopkeeper was surprised when he heard this.

He has been doing business for many years and is accustomed to limited sales, but this is the first time he has raised prices when supply is sufficient.

He simply couldn't understand it.

"Boss, I'm afraid we won't be able to sell a single one like this."

Shen Muxue smiled meaningfully: "The price increase is not for sales. You will understand in half a month."

After a while, the weaving factory was burned down.

This is the last makeup satin on the market.

Displaying ten horses tells the world that they own them but are not in a hurry to sell them.

After all, someday in the future, brocade satin may be worth ten times what it is today.

Selling at this moment is undoubtedly a loss-making transaction.

After Shen Muxue left, the shopkeeper shook his head and said, "It seems that this shop won't last much longer. Let's just keep going for as long as we can."

On the way home, Qingyi brought Han Chenghe's message.

It was said that the man was temporarily staying in a foreign house and had no intention of appearing in Kyoto in the short term. As for business matters, she didn't need to worry about them, as everything was under control.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the fire brought by the Jiangnan manufacturing plant to light the fuse.

In the Qiu Shui Courtyard, Shen Muxue was leisurely tending to the flowers and trees in the yard, enjoying this rare tranquility.

The mansion has been unusually quiet recently. I heard that a few days ago, Jin Peng was almost paralyzed by the thugs who accompanied him, and it took a lot of effort to separate the two sides.

In a fit of impulse, those ruffians once again made advances against the Jin family members in front of everyone's eyes, which made the mistress of the Jin family furious. She directly ordered the beating of those ignorant guys.

As for the truth, outsiders do not know. All they know is that all those who knew the truth seemed to have disappeared without a trace overnight.

Even the unconscious Jin Peng died shortly after returning to the Duke's Mansion. The only heir to the Duke's Mansion was gone.

The old Duke was heartbroken and almost cried blood, while the Duke's wife was even more furious with Jin, accusing the marriage of costing her grandson's life.

Thanks to the mediation of the Princess of Chu, Jin was spared from greater punishment. With wounds all over her body, Jin honestly recuperated in the mansion and finally found peace.

The Duke's Mansion also had a lot of grievances.

It would have been fine if he had just left, but he died in such a shameful way, bringing disgrace to the family.

What's worse is that after some investigation, it was found that the matter was somewhat related to the Jin family, but things had come to this point and they could only swallow their bitterness and say nothing.

For a time, no one in the Duke's Mansion dared to cause trouble again.

An Lan had just returned with a lunch box and placed four dishes and a soup on the table. She said with a smile, "Young lady, you're amazing! I'm afraid we need to change the atmosphere in this house."

Shen Muxue also responded with a smile: "Oh? How do you say it?"

"When I went to the kitchen just now, I heard them chatting. They said that the master has been spending the night either in the study or at Aunt Zhou's house these days, and he doesn't pay any attention to the first lady. The first lady tried to please the master, but was scolded and sent away! As a result, the second young master was sent to a private school, and the first lady is no longer allowed to interfere with his upbringing."

Shen Muxue picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and nodded slightly, saying, "My father finally did something sensible."

"Miss, the second young lady and her family were supposed to go back home today, but the uncle didn't come with them. She came back alone, and there were still injuries on her face. I guess she was scolded by the uncle again. It was really a relief."

An Lan was most interested in these gossips, and her mouth kept talking like a machine gun: "The master went to the palace to attend court early this morning, and he specifically instructed us not to wait for him to come back for dinner. It seems that he doesn't want to care about the second young lady's affairs anymore."

Shen Muxue pondered for a moment, thinking that Shen Zhenwu could ignore Shen Leyao, but the Jin family would definitely not stand idly by.

Jin has always been an expert at domestic fighting, and she wants to see how Jin will turn the tide for her daughter and regain her favor.

In Lingyan Courtyard, Shen Leyao lay in Jin's arms and cried, "Mom! These past few days, Ling Fan hasn't even touched me and even called me dirty. He's not good at that, so he secretly found a few girls, but it still didn't work out. He still despises me like this, what's the right?"

Jin patiently listened to her daughter's complaints, patted her on the back and said soothingly, "Yao'er, being a wife is different from being a daughter at home. Your husband is your heaven. Even if he's just a show-off, you have to endure it. This is our fate as women. If you expect love from your husband, you're courting death. What I mean is that only by seizing the real power of the Marquis' Mansion and giving birth to his heirs can you gain a foothold and gain a foothold. This is more important than anything else."

"But he doesn't..."

Shen Leyao actually knew it in her heart, but she was unwilling to accept it.

Which newlywed woman doesn't want to be loved by her husband? Before marriage, Ling Fan treated her so gently and considerately...

Jin pointed at Shen Leyao's belly and asked, "Whose child is this?"

"Of course it's Ling Fan's." Shen Leyao answered without hesitation.

Shen Leyao's words were firm, but her flickering eyes revealed her guilty conscience.

She didn't want Jin to notice this.

Because the voices of the people around her were like a wall, defining the unborn life as a sin and urging her to give up the flesh and blood in her womb.

Even on their wedding night, Ling Fan maintained the same attitude.

With tears in her eyes, she pleaded with Ling Fan, "Ling Fan, I swear to heaven, this child is your flesh and blood, and I have no other intentions. Those rumors that slandered me were all orchestrated by Shen Muxue. Ling Fan, you have to believe me, I have never betrayed you."

Ling Fan suddenly ripped open Shen Leyao's clothes and pointed at the mole on her chest: "How could Shen Muxue know this? Shen Leyao, this is my last chance for you! If you kill this evil creature, I can forgive all the past and you can still be the future mistress of this mansion. But if you insist on keeping this evil creature, I will show no mercy to you."

Shen Leyao felt the urge to gamble.

What if this child is really Ling Fan’s?

Before she had an affair with the coachman that day, she had also had one with Ling Fan.

If she gave up this child, she might never be able to get pregnant again.

But if she wins the bet, this will be her chance to wash away the shame and make a complete comeback!

Therefore, no matter what, she couldn't lose this child.

Ling Fan left that night, not only leaving her alone and unable to sleep on her wedding night, but he also took in several concubines later on.

She complained to her mother-in-law, but Luo told her to handle it herself, citing her health condition.

When she tried to deal with the concubines, Ling Fan mercilessly slapped her twice. "How can you be the wife of our mansion if you are so dishonest? Do you remember what I said to you on our wedding night? If you don't behave yourself, I will never let you leave this mansion again."
