As soon as the mirror was placed on the table, all three people's eyes were drawn to it.

Night Mousse picked up the wooden soap box, opened it with both hands, and a fresh floral scent wafted into her nostrils.

It tastes so good!

Qin Jing held the dressing mirror, looking at himself from left to right. Suddenly, he looked at Ye Muchen and asked, "Isn't the shop next to my shop your wife's dowry shop?"

Ye Muchen was stunned. "I...how would I know!"

Upon hearing his master's words, Manager Peng said, "Master, I just rushed over to tell you something. If they keep selling like this, then our shop might..."

Qin Jing didn't seem to care much. "Okay, I understand. I'll figure something out. You can go back now!"

"Yes, boss, I'll be going now!" Manager Peng bowed politely and withdrew.

Ye Muchen looked at the things on the table. Yesterday, Jingxue went to her shop when she left the manor. Where did she get these things from?

"Cousin?" Qin Jing looked at Ye Muchen, who was in a daze.

"what?"

“Cousin, do you know what? I’ve traveled to many places over the years and seen a lot of rare things, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen anything like this!” Qin Jing said as he looked at each item one by one.

The more Qin Jing said this, the more Ye Muchen felt that what he was about to say was something he didn't want to hear.

Sure enough, Qin Jing then said, "After we finish eating, let's go to the shop first, and then go to your residence to meet your husband!"

Ye Muchen felt a headache coming on!

However, given their close relationship, it's impossible for them not to meet!

let it go!

Hopefully, that stubborn little donkey at home won't kick up its tail!

During the meeting, Ye Muchen discussed the current situation and the difficulties the army would face.

Qin Jing and Ye Musi both own estates outside the city, and they said they would stockpile some grain for him!

Here, we must mention the Duke of Anguo's mansion. Qin Jing's grandfather, Qin Shilang, was the largest salt merchant in Beiye, with immense wealth. However, in order to protect Beiye's territory, he donated most of his family fortune to support the retired emperor.

The retired emperor bestowed upon him the title of Duke of Anguo and married his eldest daughter as empress, who is now the empress dowager!

After the death of the late Duke Anguo, Qin Shilang, Qin Jing's father, Qin Huaining, inherited the title.

For years, their family has managed the salt industry in Beiye.

Duke Anguo, Qin Huaining, was in poor health and handed over the management to his only son, Qin Jing, two years ago.

When they finished their meal and went to West Street, they were truly shocked by the scene there!

A long queue had formed in front of Li's Rouge Shop, and it was quite noisy. There were a few girls inside who looked like they were from a brothel, and quite a few people were watching the spectacle!

Qin Jing crossed his arms, bit his lower lip, and remained silent.

Yemus knew this guy was up to something again, and he was really looking forward to what was going to happen next.

His third brother stood with his hands behind his back, expressionless!

Qin Jing turned around and saw Ye Muchen, and immediately put on a fawning smile, "Cousin, let's go! To your residence!"

Ye Muchen sighed helplessly, "Let's go!"

"Cousin, tell me, what's your partner like? Is she easy to get along with?" Qin Jing asked Ye Muchen as soon as they got into the carriage.

"Hehe, to be honest, we were both fine for the first six months, but we've only met a few times recently, and I still can't quite figure out what kind of person she is. You'd better watch yourself!"

"Huh? No way?" Qin Jing looked at Ye Musi in disbelief.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Didn't we prepare a gift? You can't hit someone who's smiling at you, so there shouldn't be any problem! It's just a matter of whether what you want will come true or not."

"Is our gift still presentable?" After saying that, Qin Jing reached into a small cabinet next to him and took out a brocade box.

She opened it and handed it to Ye Muchen; inside was a box of snail-shaped eyebrow pencils.

Ye Muchen glanced at it and said, "I don't know anything about women's things, but aren't there beads on it?"

"Your husband likes pearls? The fourth son even brought two bolts of shimmering brocade!"

"She must like gold and silver jewelry!" Ye Muchen recalled how Jingxue hugged the jewelry box tightly when they returned from the palace that day.

Qin Jing put the brocade box away. "It's alright, you'll know when we meet!"

The three entered the Prince's mansion, leaving behind two of their attendants, and took only Gao Chi to Jingning Garden.

Jingxue had just woken up from her afternoon nap. At lunchtime, Xiaoman said there was still some mutton left from yesterday and asked Jingxue what she wanted to eat for dinner.

Jingxue saw that there was still one chicken left, so she said she would make them a barbecue that night. The three little ones were really looking forward to the barbecue she was talking about!

Xiaoman had already prepared the meat as instructed by her young mistress, and the chicken wings, heads, and feet were cooked and placed on the stone table outside.

Jingxue went to the kitchen again to see what else she could skewer and grill, but after searching around, she only found eggs and steamed buns.

Crack a few eggs, add a little baking soda, beat them, pour the mixture into the eggshells, steam them for a while, and the solid eggs are ready!

While Xiaoman wasn't looking, Jingxue used her supernatural abilities to get a bunch of wooden skewers in the backyard.

She told the children to play together later, and then she found some blue bricks and built a simple trough!

When Ye Muchen and his group of four arrived, Jing Xue was lighting charcoal. She sprayed some alcohol on it, and it caught fire instantly!

An'an opened the courtyard gate. He recognized Ye Muchen and knew he was a prince.

He hurriedly bowed and greeted the boy, who was already dressed neatly. "Get up! Where is your master?" Ye Muchen said.

"Your Highness, Miss is over there!" An'an said, pointing to Jingxue who was squatting not far from the stone table.

Seeing that the charcoal was lit, Jingxue stood up and let it burn slowly!

Turning her head, she saw Ye Muchen standing at the gate of the courtyard with two strange men. She recognized the lackey Gao Chi, who was holding something in his hands and looking silly.

Jingxue walked over!

The two strange men were both around 20 years old and good-looking; one had feminine features, and the other was very refined.

Judging from his attire, he was clearly a wealthy young nobleman. His brocade robe was embroidered with subtle patterns in gold thread, and he wore a matching gold-embroidered waist belt!

Jingxue wore a high ponytail again today, along with a light blue ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress). Her face was fair with a rosy glow, and her eyes were bright and clear.

For some reason, Ye Musi had a feeling of déjà vu when he saw Jing Xue.

"Your Highness, your presence is an honor! My hands are dusty!" Jingxue said, clapping her hands as she approached.

Qin Jing wanted to laugh, but he held it in!

This woman is interesting; she's definitely not welcome!

"This must be your sister-in-law, right? I am Qin Jing, the heir of the Duke of Anguo, and this is the Fourth Prince, Ye Musi!" Qin Jing took the initiative to speak.

Jingxue nodded slightly, then said, "Little sister-in-law? Does Prince Qin mean you also have an older sister-in-law?"

Qin Jing: "..."

Seeing Qin Jing get his comeuppance, Ye Muchen felt a sense of satisfaction. "Let you come looking for trouble!"

"Your Highness, you misunderstand. The young master meant that you are young!" Ye Musi explained, bowing slightly.

Jingxue didn't want to make things difficult for him, after all, she wanted to save face for both of them. She and Ye Muchen could resolve any issues privately.

"I was just saying that casually. Is there something you need today?"
