At this time, Chushi Weiming nodded and said, "Yes, mother. I'll arrange it!"

"Go ahead." Imperial Concubine Xiao looked out the window at this moment. Her eyes were full of hatred.

In the mansion of Duke Mu

After Yang Zijin got up, she sat on the dressing table, thinking about something.

The parchment scroll had been brought back, but what an excuse could she find to go to Beiling?

Yang Zijin could not help but worry about this. But she thought that she could not make Aunt Yan Luo wait too long.

When Yang Zijin was just thinking about it, she heard a voice from the door that she hated. Yang Zijin could not help but frown.

Li Mingzi then walked into the room.

Lan saluted her at this time and said, "Madam."

"Qingcheng, you will marry Marquis Shuo the day after tomorrow. As the hostess of Mu's family, you can tell me what you like. I'll buy them for you!" Li Mingzi then went straight to Yang Zijin and said with a smile.

Yang Zijin turned to look at Li Mingzi at this moment. When she was about to reject her, she suddenly thought that since Li Mingzi liked pretending a good person so much, she would give her this opportunity.

So Yang Zijin smiled at her this moment, and then said, "Thank you, Madam. But..."

Yang Zijin deliberately stopped speaking at this moment.

Sure enough, hearing that, Li Mingzi asked, "But what, Qingcheng? Just tell me."

"But what I want is a little expensive. I hate to part with my money. Well, forget it." Yang Zijin then deliberately said.

Li Mingzi frowned slightly after hearing that, but for a moment, she said, "What do you want? You could tell me."

"The Exquisite Jade of Huiyu Shop." Yang Zijin said it without thinking at this moment.

After hearing that, Li Mingzi could not help but feel surprised. The Exquisite Jade in Huiyu Shop was a special treasure in Jing City. Its texture was very elegant, and its color was also the most beautiful. A good jade was naturally expensive.

But Li Mingzi did not expect that Yang Zijin would demand such an expensive thing. She really dared to ask for it. Li Mingzi realized that she had trapped herself, but now she had to accept it even she knew it was a trap.

Li Mingzi's mouth moved slightly at this moment, and then she looked at Yang Zijin and said, "Since you like it, I will buy it."

"Thank you, Madam." Yang Zijin then said with a smile.

Li Mingzi would have thought that after she had said it, Yang Zijin would pretend to refuse politely, and then she would follow Yang Zijin's remarks so that she would not have to buy it. But she did not expect that Yang Zijin would accept it directly.

At this time, Li Mingzi avoided eye contact with Yang Zijin. There was still a smile on her face, but it was not as natural as when she had just come in. "What style do you like? I will choose for you soon."

Although Li Mingzi was the hostess, she could not get so much money. Also, the Duke of Mu was always an upright person. The household expenses were all carefully calculated and strictly budgeted.

At this moment, Li Mingzi thought that she could first go to Huiyu Shop to inquire about the price of Exquisite Jade and then try to figure it out.

But Li Mingzi did not expect that Yang Zijin would then say something that embarrassed her.

"Madam, I happen to be free now. Shall we go to Huiyu Shop now?" Yang Zijin then looked at Li Mingzi and said with a smile.

After she heard that, Li Mingzi's expression changed slightly. Since Yang Zijin said this, she could not refuse, so she said, "All right."

Hearing that, Yang Zijin nodded and said with a smile, "Let's go now."

"Well... Now?" Li Mingzi dared not to look at Yang Zijin at this moment.

Yang Zijin frowned slightly at this moment and pretended to ask, "Madam, what's the matter?"

"Nothing." Li Mingzi still dared not to look at Yang Zijin at this moment and then said with a smile.

At this time, Yang Zijin said again, "Then what's up, Madam?"

"Qingcheng, wait for me at the gate first. I'll go back and get the banknotes first. We'll then go to Huiyu Shop together." Li Mingzi then looked at Yang Zijin and said.

Yang Zijin nodded at this moment and said, "Well, I'll wait for you at the gate."

Then Yang Zijin walked to the gate of the mansion with Jiang Wei.

After Yang Zijin left, Mammy Chen, standing behind Li Mingzi, whispered to her at this moment, "Madam, I heard that the Exquisite Jade in Huiyu Shop is expensive. Will you go to the shop with the obnoxious girl and buy it for her?"

"What else can I do? Now we dug this pit ourselves. I didn't expect the wicked girl to set up a trap for me in turn!" Li Mingzi then gnashed her teeth and said bitterly.

At this time, Mammy Chen asked again, "Madam, what should we do next?"

"What should we do? There's no choice. Go back and see how many banknotes we have now." Li Mingzi said at this moment, and then walked to her own residence.

When they came back to the room, Li Mingzi took out the case-dough she had saved for many years from the bottom of the bed. She opened the box and counted it carefully. She had saved six thousand taels of silver.

The silver was all saved bit by bit after she got married to Duke of Mu. The money was originally intended for Yunong's dowry. She did not know how much could be left after she bought the Exquisite Jade.

At this moment, Li Mingzi took out all the banknotes.

And then she came to the gate of the mansion with Mammy Chen.

When Yang Zijin was waiting for Li Mingzi at the gate, Mu Yunong saw Yang Zijin standing at the door and came over. She said, "Sister, where are you going?"

"Hello, Yunong. Madam said that she would take me to Huiyu Shop and asked me to wait for her here. If you are free now, let's go together and help me to choose."

"Fine." Mu Yunong then said with a smile.

When they were talking, Li Mingzi also came to the gate. When she saw Mu Yunong talking and laughing with Yang Zijin, she could not help but frown.

At some point, Li Mingzi felt that Mu Yunong got closer to Yang Zijin, and she would defend Yang Zijin from time to time. She wondered who Mu Yunong would like to help, and whether Yang Zijin had bewitched Mu Yunong.

At this time, Li Mingzi went forward. She looked at Mu Yunong with a smile and said, "Yunong, you are here."

"Mom, you didn't tell me that you would go out to play with my sister. Fortunately, I passed here and she told me." Mu Yunong then ran to Li Mingzi, took her hand, and said.

Li Mingzi said with a smile at this moment, "Qingcheng will get married the day after tomorrow. I want to buy something for her as a gift, so you don't make trouble for us."

"Mom, why did you think I'll make trouble. Besides, my sister has promised to take me. I don't care what you said. I will go together. I heard that the jade in Huiyu Shop is very special, and I haven't been there before!" Mu Yunong then shook Li Mingzi's arm and said to her.

At this time, Yang Zijin also smiled and said to Li Mingzi, "Madam, since sister Yunong wants to go, she could go with us."

"Since Qingcheng has agreed to take you, you can go with us." Li Mingzi then nodded to Mu Yunong and said.

After hearing that, Mu Yunong could not help but be happy. She then ran to Yang Zijin and said, "Sister, let's get on the carriage first."

Yang Zijin nodded and then got into the front carriage with Mu Yunong.

When Li Mingzi saw that Mu Yunong was so friendly to Yang Zijin at this moment, she could not help but worry. She thought Mu Yunong really had a bad memory.

Maybe she forgot that she had been caught by Yang Zijin and taken to the Blossoming Peach.

"Mom, go quickly." Mu Yunong then called Li Mingzi through the window of the carriage.

Li Mingzi got into the back carriage. They then left for Huiyu Shop.

In Huiyu Shop

As one of the most famous jade shops in Jing City. It was elegant and decorated in ancient characteristics. There were all kinds of jade presented in the shop, which made the shop even more unusual.

They got out of the carriage when they got to the entrance of Huiyu Shop.

Although Yang Zijin had long heard that the Huiyu Shop in Jing City had all kinds of famous jade, she had not been here before. It was her first time here!

When they walked in, a woman came forward and served them tea and water, who was very enthusiastic.

When Yang Zijin came in, she always felt that it seemed that she had seen the style of the shop somewhere before, but she could not remember it at the moment.

After they had tasted tea, the woman who received them came up with a smile and asked them what jade they were going to buy and whom they would buy for.

Yang Zijin said at this moment, "We want the Exquisite Jade."

"OK, please follow me this way." The woman who received them made a gesture of invitation.

Then they followed the woman to the second floor.

The woman took them to the door of a house, stopped, then opened the door and said with a smile, "Please."

They then went in.

After they entered the house, they felt that it was dark inside. But they saw a row of something in front of them, glowing with different lights, strong or weak, and some even glowing with colorful light.

At this moment, the woman who received them stepped aside and opened the curtain of the window. The light outside suddenly shone into the room.

They saw all kinds of Exquisite Jades presented in front of them.

At this moment, everyone realized that the light they saw just now was the light emitted by these Exquisite Jades.

Although Yang Zijin was born in modern times and had seen many treasures, she was amazed by the Exquisite Jades in front of her.

These Exquisite Jades were extremely delicate and were different in appearance.

And Li Mingzi was also shocked. At this time, she went forward and carefully studied the jade.

Mu Yunong walked over to a lily-shaped jade pendant at this time, bent down, and looked around. She then touched it with her fingers.

"Well, do you like this?" Yang Zijin then stepped forward and asked Mu Yunong with a smile.

Mu Yunong stood up straight at this time, and then said, "No. I just think it is special, so I have looked at it longer. Today we should only select a gift for you, sister. Just look and choose."

Yang Zijin nodded at this moment. According to her remarks, Yang Zijin knew that Mu Yunong had really considered Yang Zijin as her sister.

At this time, Li Mingzi also came over and said, "Qingcheng, there are so many Exquisite Jades here. Which one do you like?"

"Well, just this one." Yang Zijin then pointed to the jade bracelet engraved with Chinese flowering crabapple.

If she did not misunderstand, Li Mingzi had been staring at this jade bracelet since she came in just now.

Sure enough, after Yang Zijin said, Li Mingzi's eyes flickered and she glanced at the jade bracelet again.

Li Mingzi said to the woman who received them, "How much is this jade bracelet engraved with Chinese flowering crabapple?"
