A hint of disgust flashed in Wen Yuanshu's eyes, but she remained calm on the surface: "Don't worry, my lord. Now that I've become the mistress of this manor, I'm not so petty as to lack even this much tolerance. Besides, as you said, my lord, we have a lot of time ahead of us, so a little bit won't make a difference."

Seeing that she had changed her mind and still understood the bigger picture, Pei Zeyu was very satisfied.

He squeezed Wen Yuanshu's hand and looked at her earnestly: "Yuanshu, having you is the greatest blessing of my life!"

Wen Yuanshu didn't speak, but just smiled at him.

Pei Zeyu smiled, got up, and strode away with a cheerful air.

The following afternoon, Pei Zeyu dressed up nicely before going to the main courtyard, where she went out with Wen Yuanshu.

He was naturally gentle and refined, and today, dressed in a light blue brocade robe, coupled with the dignified air cultivated from his long-term high position, he was quite eye-catching.

Wen Yuanshu wore only a plain dress, with no makeup on her face and no jewelry, yet she possessed a natural and unadorned beauty.

The two rode in a carriage and headed towards Yibao Tower.

Yibaolou is one of the top jewelry shops in the capital. The master craftsmen in the shop come from all over the country, and their works have different styles, but their skills are all equally exquisite. Therefore, although the prices are high, young ladies and girls love to come to this shop.

The two got out of the car in front of the shop, and a waiter immediately came up to them and led them directly to a private room on the top floor.

The layout of the private rooms at Yibaolou is ingenious. Instead of walls separating the private rooms, uniquely shaped cabinets create a visually appealing experience.

The waiter smiled and brought over a tray: "My lord, my lady, these are all new designs that arrived a few days ago. They were just made by the head chef in the restaurant. Please take your time looking at them!"

The tray was filled with exquisite boxes. The waiter opened each box, revealing the luxurious and delicate jewelry inside, and then tactfully stepped aside.

Pei Zeyu glanced at the tray briefly and, seeing that Wen Yuanshu wasn't particularly interested in these items, turned to the waiter and said, "I remember you said a few days ago that you had a whole set of jewelry made? Why haven't you brought it up?"

It is said that the set of jewelry is very gorgeous. In addition to the complete headdress, there are also earrings, necklaces, and even armlets and bracelets. Moreover, it was made by several master craftsmen from Yibaolou. As soon as the news was released, the noble ladies of the capital were scrambling to get their hands on it.

The waiter looked troubled: "My lord, it's not that I don't want to serve it, it's just that it's all been snatched up long ago, and there really isn't any left."

"Hmm...that's all." Pei Zeyu wasn't surprised.

Wen Yuanshu casually picked out a hairpin: "It's just jewelry, it's no big deal if it's gone. I think this one is quite nice."

Pei Zeyu nodded and told the waiter to wrap up the hairpin.

Seeing that the Marquis and his wife had come all this way, and that they had only chosen a hairpin, the waiter almost couldn't hold back his smile.

After the waiter left, Pei Zeyu couldn't help but sigh, looking very regretful: "Alas, it's all my fault for not thinking things through. It was raining a few days ago, and I didn't even think to ask a servant to make a trip to get this jewelry ordered for you!"

Wen Yuanshu still smiled and said, "It's good that Your Excellency has this kind thought."

Pei Zeyu hadn't expected this, but he simply didn't want to spend the money.

However, she never expected Pei Zeyu to come; she had already sent Chunhua to arrange it.

Thinking that Bai Tong might like it too, I also ordered a set for Bai Tong, which should be ready in the next couple of days.

Seeing that she truly didn't mind at all, Pei Zeyu felt even more comforted: "You're so sensible!"

After leaving Yibaolou, seeing that it was getting late, the two went to Hefenglou for dinner.

During the meal, Pei Zeyu was very attentive, serving her food and soup one moment and then serving her the next. Wen Yuanshu returned the favor in kind. After the meal, Pei Zeyu felt that the relationship between the two of them was finally no longer as awkward as before.
