Master Qian asked Shen Qingyu to return the ancient silver hairpin to the Qian family, and he was willing to give her three hundred taels of silver directly.

Shen Qingyu readily agreed, but only asked for two hundred taels of silver: "I only spent two taels to buy this silver hairpin, and I had no idea about the silver note inside. I'm making a huge profit by giving you two hundred taels."

The resolve to turn down a hundred taels of silver that is already in hand is something most people don't have.

Therefore, Master Qian held Shen Qingyu in higher regard: even if she wasn't that man's wife, this woman's character was worthy of respect.

So, Master Qian took it upon himself to have the steward deliver three gold and three silver hairpins to the jewelry shop and give them to Shen Qingyu.

Shen Qingyu had just looked at all the hairpins, and the total price was over eighty taels of silver.

When they arrived at the city gate, Xiao Yunqi was already waiting there, his face dark.

He earned two hundred taels of silver, resolved the conflict with the Qian family, and even gained their favor.

Shen Qingyu was in a good mood and also wanted to cheer up someone who was unhappy.

"I bought you a bolt of cloth. I'll ask Liu Cuixi to make you a set of clothes later."

Xiao Yunqi's expression softened slightly as he looked at the dark blue cotton cloth in Shen Qingyu's hand.

"These are the silk and satin fabrics you gave me last time. I thought they were quite pretty, and since they were also available in the prefectural city, I bought some more. Aren't they beautiful?"

Xiao Yunqi's expression softened slightly.

Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll treat you to a meal.

Xiao Yunqi was completely speechless: "You're inviting me?"

His men told him that Shen Qingyu had entered the Qian residence, and he could only wait patiently.

Who knew she would arrive so late, past mealtime.

Shen Qingyu chuckled: "You just gave me two hundred taels of silver, and I haven't spent much of it. It's only right that I treat you to a meal. Where would you like to eat?"

Xiao Yunqi discovered that Shen Qingyu was different from ordinary women; she was very frank.

She told him everything she could without reservation.

She wouldn't lie to him about things she didn't want to say.

Xiao Yunqi felt a pang of sadness, unsure whether to be happy or sad. He pointed to a three-story restaurant near the city gate: "Let's go with this one. It's the best restaurant in the prefecture."

"Great! This will broaden my horizons."

Shen Qingyu had never seen what a high-end restaurant in this world looked like.

These words stirred up Xiao Yunqi's guilt once again.

One's own wife, in principle, should frequent such high-end restaurants.

Upon entering Guiyun Tower, Xiao Yunqi went directly to a private room on the top floor.

The innkeeper came up and asked Xiao Yunqi what he wanted to eat. Shen Qingyu waved her hand generously and said, "Bring up all the best food!"

The shopkeeper paused for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yunqi.

Xiao Yunqi nodded, and the shopkeeper then left.

Before long, a stream of delicious food arrived, totaling more than ten dishes.

Although there are no delicacies like bear paws or shark fins, dishes such as salt and pepper snake segments, deep-fried bee pupae, and steamed mandarin fish are not something that ordinary people can afford to eat.

Shen Qingyu's eyes lit up, and she began to savor the food, her chopsticks falling like rain.

Seeing that she was eating with relish, Xiao Yunqi couldn't help but smile, and he also began to eat slowly and deliberately.

After taking a few bites, Shen Qingyu began to share about the magnolia flower silver hairpin.

"Oh dear, Madam Qian was already in critical condition..."

The woman, her lips still glistening with oil, waved her hands dramatically, her eyes sparkling and her expression exaggerated.

Xiao Yunqi listened intently, and watched intently as well.

He seemed to have never seen Shen Qingyu so vibrant, so lively, so relaxed before.

So, she has this side to her.

She was unlike any other noblewoman in the capital.

No, it should be said that she was unlike any woman he had ever met.

Shen Qingyu finished speaking, looked at the stunned Xiao Yunqi, and waved her hand curiously: "What? Did you hear something stupid?"

Xiao Yunqi came to his senses: "I am very surprised. Why did you choose that silver hairpin back then?"

Shen Qingyu was taken aback: The matter of the Space Mall cannot be discussed.

She chuckled, raised an eyebrow proudly, and said, "I have a discerning eye! Perhaps it's divine intervention?"

Xiao Yunqi almost laughed at her smug look: "Are you full? If you're full, let's go home."

Shen Qingyu nodded: "I wasn't hungry at all, it was my treat, are you satisfied?"

"Why are you so generous?"

Shen Qingyu has always been reluctant to spend money.

"I made two hundred taels of silver today! I also got several hairpins, both gold and silver. What's a meal for you?"

"Thank you." Xiao Yunqi couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Alright." Shen Qingyu waved her hand. "Hey buddy, pack it up!"

The shopkeeper came forward and personally packed the dried leftovers in oil paper, and put the soupy ones in bamboo tubes and then plugged them with wooden stoppers, which was very thoughtful.

Shen Qingyu's eyes widened in amazement: "Your packaging method is brilliant! Who came up with this idea?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Xiao Yunqi and smiled, "It was our boss's idea."

"Your boss is quite clever!" Shen Qingyu remarked.

Xiao Yunqi's expression revealed a hint of smugness.

"How much? I'll pay." Shen Qingyu said, taking out a banknote.

The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Yunqi again: Boss, should we accept the money or not?

Xiao Yunqi thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "No need to give it to me."

"Huh?" Shen Qingyu turned to look at Xiao Yunqi. "You gave it to me? When did you give it to me?"

I didn't see him come downstairs!

Xiao Yunqi first waved for the manager to leave, then said, "I am the owner of Guiyun Tower."

"What? Say that again?"

"I am the owner of Guiyun Tower."
