Early the next morning

Seeing that no one in the courtyard had gotten up yet, Qin hurriedly gathered her clothes and came out of the third room. After being married to Su Ye for so many years, she finally indulged herself last night and experienced the benefits of being a woman.

As long as no one finds out, she will keep this a secret and never let anyone know until she dies.

Su Congxian had been tossing and turning all night and was still not fully awake, so naturally he wouldn't know that the person in his room last night was his sister-in-law.

As soon as Qin entered the room, she heard Su Tao on her small bed speaking indistinctly:

"Mom, why are you up so early?"

Qin was so frightened that she trembled and quickly said:

"It's nothing, I just went to the outhouse. You should get some more sleep, it's still early."

Su Tao said "Oh" and turned over to continue sleeping.

Qin patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief. Then she hurriedly went to bed and lay down. As soon as Qin closed her eyes, the scene from last night flooded her mind. She kept reliving the pleasure of last night, and her mood seemed to brighten up...

The second family went to bed early last night and got up early this morning as well. Su Mo was also very curious about what kind of house could be built on that piece of land at the foot of Dwarf Mountain.

Now that she has decided to marry Su Feng, she might as well do something for the second wife's family before her wedding.

Su Mo planned to use this time to strengthen her body so that she would have some resistance when she really had a conflict with Su Feng. She also wanted to plan how to kill Su Feng without anyone noticing.

Su Banxia gave Wang Guihua her wages for the past two days to keep safe early this morning. She had just killed a black bear yesterday, and today she needed to take Uncle Niu's oxcart to the city early to sell the bear skin for money.

In this way, we can hire more workers for a few more days, and my parents and older brother can put in less effort.

Su Banxia had just arrived at the village entrance when she saw Uncle Niu preparing to head to the city, so she quickly waved to him:

"Uncle Niu, wait for me, I'm going to town today too."

Uncle Niu quickly stopped the oxcart and said with a smile:

"Banxia, ​​hurry up and get in the car."

Su Banxia got on the oxcart, and Uncle Niu pulled the cart full of people towards the city. When they arrived in the city, Su Banxia got off the oxcart at the city gate again.

Then, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he walked into an alley, took out the bear skin he had skinned off the night before from his spatial storage, and just as he turned around to go to the pawnshop, he bumped into a tall figure.

The man had striking features and was exceptionally handsome. He wore a white robe with printed silk, and at first glance, he seemed otherworldly. In just one glance, Su Banxia was stunned.

"Are you okay, miss?"

The moment the man spoke, Su Banxia's eyes curved into crescent moons. Not only was he handsome, but his voice was also very gentle. Su Banxia's heart melted instantly, and she nodded repeatedly, then shook her head, saying:

"No, it's okay."

The man smiled slightly, looked at the bear skin in Su Banxia's hand, and said:

"Young lady, my name is Lou Wangyue, and I am the owner of this Wangyue Tower. May I ask if you wish to pawn this bearskin?"

Su Banxia blankly looked down at the bearskin in her hand, then nodded to Lou Wangyue.

Lou Wangyue smiled slightly upon seeing this.

"Then please come with me, young lady."

Having said that, he led the way, guiding Su Banxia into Wangyue Tower. Once inside, Su Banxia realized something was amiss. Hadn't she just gone to Hefangzhai to pawn her belongings? How did she end up at Wangyue Tower...?

Su Banxia looked at Lou Wangyue's back and sighed helplessly. Well, it seems I've been captivated by this owner's beauty. If the price is right here, I'll sell myself here.

Lou Wangyue gestured for Su Banxia to sit down and chat, then ordered a servant to bring tea. This was the first time Su Banxia had received such treatment at a pawnshop, so she smiled, accepted the tea, and said to Lou Wangyue:

"Young Master Lou, you don't need to entertain me. I'm just here to sell a bear skin."

Lou Wangyue looked into Su Banxia's eyes and smiled faintly.

"I really like this bearskin. Let me personally entertain you today. May I ask how I should address you, young lady?"

Su Banxia looked at the bear skin in her hand, then said to Lou Wangyue:

"My name is Su Banxia."

"A fine name, Miss Banxia. How much silver do you want for this bearskin?"

Su Banxia examined the bearskin in front of her, looked at Lou Wangyue, and shook her head, saying:

"Actually, I don't know much about the current market either, so please name your price, Mr. Lou."

Lou Wangyue reached out and took the bearskin from Su Banxia's hand. After examining it carefully, she smiled and said:

“Wet hides are naturally not as valuable as dry hides. There are fewer people buying hides these days. I’ve taken a liking to this hide and want to take it back to make a cloak for my grandmother. How about I give you one tael of silver?”

Su Banxia thought that the deer hide had only sold for a little over two hundred coins, and now this bear hide was only giving her one tael of silver. This was indeed a good deal. It seemed that this young master Lou really liked this hide.

Thinking this through, Su Banxia didn't dwell on it much and readily agreed:

"Alright, Young Master Lou is a straightforward man, so I'll be straightforward too. I'll sell you this hide for one tael of silver."

Lou Wangyue smiled and instructed the servant to fetch the silver, then looked at Su Banxia curiously and asked:

"I wonder who skinned this animal; it's so neat and beautiful."

Su Banxia responded with a smile:

"I just peeled them yesterday, and I'm selling them today."

Lou Wangyue stroked the bearskin on the table and sighed:

"Miss Banxia, ​​you truly have excellent craftsmanship. If you have any more such good items in the future, please bring them directly to Wangyue Tower. I will certainly not treat you unfairly."

Su Banxia nodded in agreement. Seeing that the servant had brought the silver, she didn't linger and took the silver before bidding farewell to Lou Wangyue and leaving.

Seeing Su Banxia leave, the servant beside her asked in confusion:

“Young master, according to the current market price, this bear pelt shouldn’t be worth even a tael of silver. Why would you…”

Lou Wangyue waved her hand as she watched Su Banxia's retreating figure and said:

"I just found that girl interesting. A tael of silver isn't much money. If I could be friends with that girl, it would be worth a thousand pieces of gold."

The servant looked helplessly at Su Banxia's retreating figure and muttered under his breath:

"Young master is truly generous. I think that girl is nothing special except for being pretty. Aren't there plenty of pretty girls in the capital?"

Lou Wangyue smiled and glared at the servant.

"Stop talking nonsense. She's not like those women in the capital."

As she spoke, Lou Wangyue looked in the direction Su Banxia had left, and murmured in a voice only she could hear:

"I saw her conjure a bear skin out of thin air with my own eyes. Perhaps Miss Banxia is a fairy who has descended to earth to undergo tribulation."
