"Really?" Lu Zilin asked, full of doubt. "Sister-in-law, how do you know that Second Brother will perform meritorious service?"

"I don't know either! I just think your second brother has a good chance."

Ji Yunshuang patted his shoulder and said, "Anyway, you're just a kid, don't worry so much. If you think too much at such a young age, you won't grow tall."

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Lu Yanqi, who was eavesdropping.

Lu Yinqi quickly took a bite of the candied hawthorn in his hand, pretending to be focused on eating.

Ji Yunshuang scoffed inwardly. A little brat, trying to play dumb with her. Did she think she hadn't noticed?

It's unknown what the original owner did in his previous life to make the father and son so wary.

Sometimes, she was genuinely a little curious.

However, to find out what the original owner did in his past life, he would have to come clean... which is too troublesome.

She didn't want to go through that trouble for the time being.

Anyway, he's just a little brat she raised to amuse herself. If the brat turns out to be rebellious and becomes a major threat, she can just kill him.

Lu Yanqi, who was pretending to be focused on eating candied hawthorns, suddenly felt a chill. He secretly observed Ji Yunshuang and felt that this woman seemed different from usual.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

While Ji Yunshuang was out shopping with several people, a man sneaked off toward the Wei residence.

"Madam, this is a good opportunity! That woman has entered the inner city with her entourage, and coincidentally... Wei Shen is also in the inner city. If the two of them were to commit adultery at this critical moment, it would surely enrage Prince Rui!"

Madam Dong had given Magpie the powder long ago, instructing her to find an opportunity to make Ji Yunshuang and Wei Shenxing commit adultery, thus disgracing them and ruining their reputations.

As a result, no one believed what Ji Yunshuang said about her son last time.

The key point is that it can also ruin two people.

However, tracking Ji Yunshuang was too difficult, let alone having Ji Yunshuang and Wei Shen both in the inner city at the same time, so her plan could not be implemented for a long time.

This time, the people below finally discovered that Ji Yunshuang and Wei Shen were both in the inner city, and hurriedly reported to the Dong family, hoping to be rewarded and given important positions.

Upon hearing this, Madam Dong was indeed pleased. She rewarded the servant with ten taels of silver, instructing him to cooperate with Magpie Ma Er's plan, and also summoned her trusted confidante, asking, "Have you prepared everything I asked you to?"

The confidant hesitated, "The preparations are complete, but..."

Madam Dong asked, "So what?"

"That's the problem, I'm afraid we won't be able to gain people's trust! The eldest young master is fine, but that Ji woman is just a woman. How could she possibly have the ability to collude with foreign enemies and betray the prince?"

He advised, "If the prince finds out, you might lose your head! Madam, why don't we just let it go? Let them be embarrassed. A woman who does something like that will have her life ruined."

Madam Dong said with hatred, "But my son was kicked to pieces by her... his next life is ruined. It's too good for her to just embarrass her like this."

"Why don't we embarrass her first, and then find a way to kill her?" the confidant said. "Then we can capture her and you can vent your anger. It's really not worth taking such a big risk for someone like her."

The fabrication of evidence that Ji Yunshuang colluded with others to harm Prince Rui was ordered by Lady Dong when she was in a fit of anger.

Now that I've calmed down, I realize my confidant's words make sense; it's not worth putting myself in danger for a lowly woman.

She nodded and said, "Then let's leave these things aside for now and talk about them later. I just want to see a good show today."

His confidant breathed a sigh of relief; his head was spared.

Ji Yunshuang said she was taking people to the street to buy New Year's goods, but in fact, many things were available in the store, and were much better than what was sold outside. She was just shopping for fun.

Although she lacked nothing, she really enjoyed this atmosphere.

Lu Yuzhu also liked it very much; she was curious about everything. Ji Yunshuang bought her a lot of things.

There are small toys that children like, and snacks they love to eat...

She even bought the antiques and calligraphy that her daughter was interested in without batting an eye.

I bought a lot of jewelry for the children that they didn't need.

Besides Lu Yuzhu, Ji Yunshuang also bought some for Lu Yanqi and the others.

Of course, she bought the most for herself.

She has a space full of supplies, and she lacks nothing in terms of food, clothing, and daily necessities, but she really likes the handicrafts of this era.

Ivory carving and nut carving, in particular, are exceptionally exquisite.

Many of these are techniques that have long been lost in modern times.

The group strolled around until noon before finally finding a restaurant to have lunch.

Seeing Ji Yunshuang and the others enter the Jixiang Restaurant, Magpie breathed a sigh of relief, clutching her chest and saying, "That's great! The restaurant they entered is owned by the Dong family, so things will be much easier from now on."

Ma Er breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Go and arrange for the spiked food to be served to them. I'll try to lure Wei Shen over."

After they finished, the two immediately went their separate ways.

Inside the Jixiang Restaurant, both Lu Xumu and Lu Zilin felt extremely uncomfortable.

Although they had helped out at the shop and had seen a lot of the world, this was the first time they had ever eaten at such a grand restaurant, and they were both quite uncomfortable with it.

Seeing that Lu Yanqi wasn't nervous at all, the two brothers felt a little ashamed, but also a little proud.

Lu Xumu said, "My nephew is truly worthy of being my elder brother's son. He's not shy at all. I remember when my elder brother first went to a grand restaurant to sell his game, he was just like that. He wasn't flustered at all and even negotiated the price with the restaurant manager. The restaurant manager praised him for being so capable."

Lu Zilin nodded in agreement, saying that his older brother was amazing, and that Lu Yanqi had inherited his older brother's skills and was very capable.

Lu Yanqi stiffened, and he unconsciously looked at Ji Yunshuang. Logically speaking, a child who had never seen much of the world shouldn't have such courage.

He forgot to hide it.

Not only did he not hide this, but he also took advantage of his young age, which led everyone to treat him like a child. In fact, he did not deliberately hide it most of the time.

He was filled with frustration and almost wanted to slap his own head. Had his brain shrunk along with his rebirth?

Seeing the little bun's annoyed look, Ji Yunshuang wanted to laugh. Was it too late to be annoyed now?

However, I had never doubted it before.

After all, he's just a little kid. What normal person would think of that?

Ji Yunshuang deliberately looked at Lu Yanqi thoughtfully, making him restless, before calling the waiter over to order.

Unlike modern times, this era lacks various planting techniques, allowing us to enjoy fresh vegetables even in winter.

In this era, only royalty and nobility could afford hot spring resorts and enjoy a variety of fresh vegetables.

Ordinary people simply cannot afford to eat it.
