As she stepped down from the carriage, Ye Yunniang looked up and surveyed the Baise fur shop.

The signboard is the same as the one in Green City.

"Madam, your presence is an honor to our humble establishment!" Baise praised Ye Yunniang from the doorway.

“We’re all mothers, be serious.” Ye Yunniang patted Baise’s arm.

"Ouch, that hurts!" The performance in Baise continued.

He successfully made Ye Yunniang laugh.

Baise laughed and led Ye Yunniang to the second floor of the shop to sit in a private room.

The fur shops in Baise have a main hall on the first floor, where furs are displayed openly on the counter for people to see and touch.

The second floor consists of luxuriously decorated private rooms.

Each private room is staffed with two maids. Inside each room is a catalog for distinguished guests to select what they wish to view.

The women went to the warehouse and brought out furs for the women to choose from.

"You did a really good job."

"In business, Baise is never ambiguous," Baise said proudly.

Ye Yunniang gestured for Qiushuang to put the bundle she was carrying on the table.

When Qiushuang opened the window, it revealed a screen ornament placed on the table.

The embroidery on the screen depicts wealth coming from all directions.

"A congratulatory gift for the opening." Ye Yunniang gave birth prematurely. Neither she nor Jiang Mingzhe had time to attend to the opening of the shop in Baise.

This congratulatory gift has truly touched the hearts of Baise.

"You've passed."

"In consideration of the gift you gave me, I have some good news to tell you."

Are you pregnant with your second child?

"I'd like to," Baise said, touching her stomach. It had been a year, and there was still no reaction.

I don't know if it's her fault or Tie Yi's fault.

"You've seen many doctors, especially those who specialize in gynecology and can help me have two daughters."

Cough cough cough...

Ye Yunniang spat out a mouthful of tea.

"Don't curse the doctor."

A doctor who can make a woman give birth to a girl with just one treatment will definitely not last long in his career.

Are you going to introduce me to someone or not?

"I know a few doctors who specialize in gynecology and infertility treatment. But you have to promise me you won't ask every doctor you meet about having a girl," Ye Yunniang warned Baise, lest she get into trouble.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

Ye Yunniang named several doctors.

Record the happy news in Baise and tell Ye Yunniang about it.

"Tong Mo and Zhong Zhaoli are getting married."

"Really?" Ye Yunniang exclaimed in surprise.

"Feeling upset?" Baise asked, her expression ambiguous.

Ye Yunniang put on a stern face, "Baise, I don't like you testing me again and again."

Some things can be done once or twice, but not a third time.

Baise tested Ye Yunniang about Tong Mo more than once.

Ye Yunniang answered more than once that she had no feelings for Tong Mo.

Ye Yunniang is married and living a happy life. She also sincerely hopes that Tong Mo will be happy.

Ye Yunniang was surprised because Tong Mo's previous confident assertions about Zhong Zhaoli were impossible.

Less than four months later, the two were getting married.

Ye Yunniang's surprise is only natural.

But when Baise said it, it sounded like Ye Yunniang was feeling guilty and regretting choosing Jiang Mingzhe.

Baise slapped his mouth, "I misspoke."

"This is the last time," Ye Yunniang said, then took her leave. She had no desire to speak to Baise anymore.

Ye Yunniang left.

Zhong Zhaoli walked out of the hidden door of the private room.

"Miss Zhong, are you satisfied?" Baise asked with a smile.

Zhong Zhaoli smiled with satisfaction, "Not bad. I'll handle the shop next door."

"Thank you, Miss Zhong." Baise bowed and expressed her gratitude.

"No need to thank me. I'm doing this for myself. Forty percent of the shop's profits are mine," Zhong Zhaoli said, then pushed open the door to the private room and left.

The two were unaware that someone was eavesdropping on them from the rooftop.

After listening, Qiu Shuang left the shop and jumped onto the moving carriage. She then told Ye Yunniang what she had overheard.

Ye Yunniang sighed; she was about to lose another friend.

When I got home, I ran into Cai Damei, who was returning from outside.

Cai Damei could tell at a glance that Ye Yunniang was in a bad mood.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Yunniang told him about her trip to Baise that day.

"Mother, do I have no friends? Not one or two at a time," Ye Yunniang couldn't continue.

Cai Damei recalled the friends Ye Yunniang had made, Liang Maimiao and Chunyao had parted ways for various reasons.

“You still have me, your husband, and your children. We are all by your side. As for friends, having them is a blessing in your life, but you don’t have to force it if you don’t.”

Ye Yunniang nodded and noticed that Cai Damei was carrying a bag.

"What did Mother bring?" Ye Yunniang asked, reaching out to take it.

Cai Damei avoided it.

"It's just some small stuff that Princess Yanping and I worked on together." Cai Damei was unwilling to say more.

Ye Yunniang suppressed her curiosity, "Mother, if there's anything you need me to do, you must tell me."

"good."

Jiang Mingzhe quickly learned about the conflict between Ye Yunniang and Baise.

"I have my reasons for this."

"What have you planned?"

The fur shop was the shop that Jiang Mingzhe had his eye on.

Jiang Mingzhe took a liking to it because of the two shops next door.

To the left of the shop is a Sichuan and Chongqing food stall, where most of the food is spicy. To the right is a shop specializing in various kinds of dried fruit.

The food at the restaurant is mostly spicy, and if people eat too much spicy food, they will want to drink some sweet drinks.

Dried fruit is sweet, and eating it will make you want to drink water.

Jiang Mingzhe plans to buy the shop in the middle and turn it into a teahouse or a shop selling various drinks.

A win-win situation for both sides.

Baise was eager to win against Jiang Mingzhe and didn't think much about it.

Once the shop opened, she realized how much the neighboring shop was affecting her fur business.

The new shop is in a good location with a lot of customer traffic.

I'm reluctant to move.
