Long after Tie Yi left, Xuanyuan Mingchen still hadn't heard Yan Miaoling's thoughts as he had hoped. This puzzled him greatly. Could it be... that she wasn't around?

Yan Miaoling didn't have time to think about anything related to him. She was in the space with the heroine, enjoying a deep sisterly relationship! Shen Aoshan was only seventeen years old. She survived a disaster and survived a catastrophe. In front of Yan Miaoling, she no longer acted pretentiously and completely vented her fear.

He hugged Yan Miaoling's neck tightly and cried, "Ling'er, I thought I would never see you again! Wuuuuu, in this world, you are the only person I care about..."

Yan Miaoling sighed inwardly: You really know how to poke me in the heart. Her eyes became sore.

A 28-year-old elder sister, pretending to be a younger sister, patted the 17-year-old "sister" gently and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, as long as your sister is in danger, Ling'er will rush to save you without hesitation, don't worry! Live more casually in the future, there's no need to be so restrained. Let's do what a 17-year-old girl should do, and express our emotions however we want..."

The more she spoke, the more motherly she sounded. This dissipated a lot of the fear Shen Aoshan had just felt. She pushed her away and said, "Get out! You're making yourself sound so old-fashioned."

The two of them sat in the space for a while, and when they found that they could not find anything, they went back.

But it made Xuanyuan Mingchen's heart itch. One knows medicine, the other knows invisibility. If they were to use them on the battlefield...

In order not to scare away talented people, his attitude this time was very clear.

The next day, Tieyi personally delivered two carts of gifts, which contained silks, rouge, powder, food, daily necessities, and some small gadgets, all for the future princess to play with.

This made Shen Zhongyi, the father, very happy. The man gave gifts before the wedding. What does this mean? It means that he values ​​the woman! Regardless of whether this son-in-law will oppose the emperor in the future, at least he has a good reputation now, right?

After expressing his gratitude to Tie Yi, he hurried to the backyard to see his daughter. He and Shen Aoshan staged a play of fatherly love and filial piety. Shen Aoshan took the opportunity to tell Minglu about Ye Xiao's identity. "By the way, Dad, this Night Guard was also sent to me by the prince for personal protection. I hope that in the future I can have an ID card to enter and exit the mansion freely..."

"Okay, no problem!" Shen Zhongyi looked at Ye Xiao, whose face was full of resoluteness and whose body was straight, and agreed without even a doubt.

...

Such a generous gesture made the first lady and the second lady Shen Jingqi jealous. Especially Shen Jingqi, because it was she who was designated by the emperor to marry Xuanyuan Mingchen.

It was her who despised the other person for being disabled, so the mother and daughter thought of Shen Aoshan on the farm.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. The eldest lady took the opportunity to comfort her, "My child, there's no need to be envious. No matter how glorious and wealthy you are, you're still just a prince. You'll be the queen in the future, so it's better for you to focus more on the crown prince."

These words finally made Shen Jingqi smile, "Yes, then mother, quickly withdraw the money for your daughter. I will go out to buy new clothes this afternoon. The prince has asked me to go boating on Ming Lake the day after tomorrow~"

"Okay, okay! All up to you!" The eldest lady patted her daughter's hand, her eyes full of love.

...

As for Yan Miaoling, ever since she was moved by the heroine's risking her life to protect her that night, her life pursuits have changed. In her new life, she can no longer continue to lie flat and muddle through.

She must be strong, protect the heroine like a sister, and work hard to achieve her ambition of becoming the queen.

After having a clear goal, she first focused on making money. Once she had money, she could hire guards. Only in this way could she and the heroine escape the fate of being weak and in danger of their lives at any time.

Jin Xuhe was surprised to see Yan Miaoling again after so many days, and of course he felt embarrassed. He took the initiative to apologize and bowed, "I'm sorry, Ling'er, it's me who was blinded by greed. I was only thinking about the business and didn't consider your future marriage. The way those men looked at you... I went back and reflected on it later, and it's no wonder that Mu Chen couldn't accept it..."

Before he could finish, Yan Miaoling interrupted him, "Brother Jin, I can't blame you! I was just too fragile. Money isn't easy to make. If you want to live well, you have to endure hardships and make unbearable efforts. But Brother Jin, I'm really short of money, so let's make a deal. From now on, you'll give me a commission for every day I stand there, okay?"

"Huh?" Jin Xuhe didn't expect that just when he was worried about not being able to find someone, someone suddenly figured it out and wanted to continue. He smiled happily, not hiding his joy. But considering Bai Muchen, he looked embarrassed, "But where is Muchen..."

The merchant's wife didn't care much about this, but he could understand that she was a doctor, higher than them, and couldn't accept the mistress of the house showing up in public.

Yan Miaoling smiled generously, "Brother Jin, you misunderstood. Doctor Bai is just our young lady's senior brother, and we have no other relationship. Why would he care about my affairs? He himself explained that he was just passing by that day. Don't think too much! Is it okay? If it is okay, let's get started right away. My suggestion is this, we split the net revenue of the day in 50-50..." They are all in the same circle of friends. It is no secret that Shen Aoshan is Bai Muchen's junior sister and she disguises herself as a man to see patients in the clinic.

She didn't give Jin Xuhe any chance to refuse. She pushed him into the lounge and started talking like she was negotiating. Finally, Jin Xuhe agreed, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

According to past experience, as long as Yan Miaoling appears, the net income for the day can be one hundred taels of silver, so if it is a fifty-fifty split, she can get fifty taels.

Fifty taels was nothing to Bai Muchen, but it was a lot for her and Shen Aoshan. As the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, Shen Aoshan's monthly allowance was ten taels, which was an exceptional increase given by Shen Zhongyi because of her value as Princess Chen.

Yan Miaoling was paid the same standard as the first-class maids in the mansion, with a monthly salary of one tael of silver.

...

That evening, Yan Miaoling happily returned home, only to be caught and scolded by Shen Aoshan, who had learned she was modeling again. Yan Miaoling was helpless, "Sister, who told you that? It's sharper than a dog's nose!" She preferred calling her "jie" (sister), which was more concise, and disliked the two-character "jiejie." After the change, Shen Aoshan didn't object.

Shen Aoshan glared at her, "You actually still don't care! Didn't I tell you that if you need money, you can take it from my dowry? Besides, Prince Chen put down his guard and gave us so many things, isn't it enough?"

Yan Miaoling crossed her legs and drank her tea with a smile on her face. "First, tell me where you got the news. Could it be Night Owl?"

The night owl outside the door folded his arms and sneered: I don’t care about your trivial matters!

Shen Aoshan sat down and said, "No! It was Jin Xuhe who was afraid of being blamed by his senior brother, so he went to tell on him. I happened to be right next to him, so of course I knew about it."
