Seeing this, Ning Nanxiao, who had taken out the silver, silently stuffed it back in, then touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

Nan Nian raised an eyebrow: "Miss Zhou, would you like to take a look? Miss Zhou is a noble lady from the capital, you should know what this transaction slip represents, right?"

"Oh, right, I also have an identity token." Nan Nian took out the bright red identity token, which shocked Zhou Rubao even more!

There are four kinds of plaques in the Jade Pavilion: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Among them, the red plaque represents the most precious guests of the Jade Pavilion. There are only five in total, and I didn't expect that she would have one!

"Does Miss Zhou have any further questions?" Nan Nian put her things away. "Are we now qualified to stay in the Jade Pavilion?"

"Of course! Madam and Miss are honored guests of our Jade Pavilion!" the manager immediately said. "Madam, Miss, this way please."

Nan Nian glanced at Zhou Rubao with a mocking look: "It seems that it's you, Miss Zhou, who's putting on a brave face!"

"Let's go, Tuantuan, Lin'er." Nan Nian held Bai Tuantuan's hand with one hand and He Lin's hand with the other. When they passed Ning Nanxiao, she couldn't help but laugh. "Nanxiao was a little slow. Come on, let's go upstairs with Aunt Nan."

Ning Nanxiao touched his nose and quickly followed.

Bai Tuantuan looked at Nan Nian in confusion: "Aunt, what did you mean by being too slow?"

"It's nothing," Ning Nanxiao said quickly. "Why are you so curious about everything, girl?"

Nan Nian glanced at Ning Nanxiao with a teasing look, but didn't expose him.

Hearing Ning Nanxiao's words, Bai Tuantuan rolled her eyes: "Tell me if you want, or don't! If you don't want to, then forget it!"

Once the three of them went up to the second floor, even a layman could tell from the items displayed there that the things on the second floor were much better than those on the first floor!

"They're so beautiful!" He Lin couldn't help but exclaim. "Auntie, did Aunt Chen really buy them all?"

Nan Nian laughed: "That's right, just pick whatever you like later."

There were three private rooms on the second floor, and Nan Nian led them into the first one.

Rong Manli put down her teacup, her brows furrowing slightly: "Are you alright?"

"What could possibly happen? Tuantuan is very clever, and with Lin'er and Nanxiao here, don't worry." Nan Nian sat down and poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them. "Drink first, the shopkeeper will come to deliver some snacks and jewelry later."

As Nan Nian finished speaking, the shopkeeper brought in the food, followed by a dozen maids carrying trays covered with red cloth.

"Madam, young master, young lady, shall we make our selections now?" the shopkeeper asked respectfully after setting down the food.

Nan Nian put down the snacks and took a sip of tea: "Hmm, let these young ones choose. After they've finished, pack up the rest and send them to the Chen residence."

As she spoke, Nan Nian wrote down the address.

Bai Tuantuan pulled He Lin to open the red cloth, and exclaimed in surprise when she saw the gold and silver jewelry inside.

Ning Nanxiao picked out a jade pendant and sat back down.

Looking at Bai Tuantuan's excited expression, he seemed to be deep in thought.

Nan Nian and Rong Manli were looking at the picture book, thinking of getting a few better jade pendants for the elderly.

“This white jade hairpin is perfect for you, Lin’er. It’s even more suitable than the ones we just saw. Take it. Also, this bracelet and necklace are a set. Take them both.”

"As for this bright red outfit, it suits Weiwei perfectly. We'll have the shopkeeper help deliver it to the prefect's house later."

“This bunny-shaped outfit would suit Yuanyuan…” At this point, Bai Tuantuan turned to Nan Nian and Rong Manli, “Auntie, Auntie, could you send this outfit to Jinzhou?”

Rong Manli nodded: "Of course."

The white-clad group cheered again.

Seeing the little girl's happy expression, Rong Manli said with satisfaction, "When she first came back, she was timid and hesitant, not like a five-year-old child at all. Now she does look like a child."

"That's right, this girl is getting more and more lively, it's a good thing," Nan Nian said with a smile.

Ning Nanxiao raised an eyebrow. A five-year-old child?

No, from beginning to end, this girl is a cunning and scheming person!

Her thoughts and ideas were nothing like a child's; sure enough, everyone was fooled by her!

Bai Tuantuan noticed Ning Nanxiao's expression out of the corner of her eye, and her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. She had a feeling that this kid was up to no good!

Meanwhile, Zhou Rubao returned home and slapped her maid across the face: "You lowly servant! If you hadn't talked nonsense today, how could I have been so embarrassed?"

The maidservant immediately knelt down and tremblingly admitted her mistake.

"That little white dumpling! I'm not done with her yet!" Zhou Rubao roared, charging straight into Madam Zhou's courtyard. "Mother! Why didn't you keep your promise to me!"

Madam Zhou, who was looking at the account books, noticed Zhou Rubao's eyes were red with anger and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly dismissed the servants and said, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you say you were going to kill Bai Tuantuan? Why is she still alive and well?!"

Madam Zhou grabbed Zhou Rubao and pulled him over: "What nonsense are you spouting? If others hear this, do you even want to live?"

Zhou Rubao shut his mouth and looked stubbornly at Madam Zhou.

Madam Zhou felt a terrible headache and said irritably, "I sent people over, but they failed."

"Failure? How could it be failure!" Zhou Rubao screamed. "I don't believe it!"

"Alright! Would I, as your mother, lie to you? Bai Tuantuan knows martial arts, and she also has a grandfather who knows martial arts!" Madam Zhou took a deep breath and said, word by word, "Let's put this matter aside for now. If it gets out, not only are you finished, but your father is finished too!"

Zhou Rubao was stunned, her fingertips digging tightly into her palms: "But why, why is she so beautiful? Why does she know martial arts? Why can she possess the items on the second floor of the Jade Pavilion..."

"What do you mean?" Madam Zhou didn't think much of the first part, but the last sentence made her wary. "The things on the second floor of the Jade Pavilion?"

Zhou Rubao nodded irritably and then recounted what had happened that day.

"The owner of Jade Pavilion is very secretive, but he is backed by the current emperor. There are five red plaques in total. The emperor, empress dowager and the eldest princess took three, the loyal and brave marquis took one, and the last one is actually in the hands of Bai Tuantuan's aunt? Who is her aunt?"

"How should I know!" Zhou Rubao said irritably. "She's just a country bumpkin!"

Madam Zhou shook her head. How could a country woman possess a red plaque? And how could she afford so much silver to buy jewelry?

Madam Zhou couldn't understand it, and neither could Ning Nanxiao.

"Send this letter back to the capital." Although Bai Haotian had left, Ning Nanxiao still lived in the house where Bai Haotian had lived before.

He then sealed the letter and handed it to the guard, saying, "Be sure to deliver this to your uncle personally."

"yes."

With the departure of the bodyguards, Ning Nanxiao's usual languidness had vanished, replaced by a cold aura.

"He's just a governor, does he really think he's some kind of local emperor?"

As darkness fell, Ning Nanxiao leaped into the air and ran towards the Zhou residence.

Meanwhile, two other black-clad figures were also on their way to the Zhou residence.

"Grandfather, are we going to become thieves?"

Chen Luo chuckled twice: "Yes, remember. If you see anything valuable later, put it all into the sack your grandfather gave you."

Upon hearing this, the white ball of fur, with only its eyes visible, gleamed with a sharp light: "Mission accomplished!"
