Chapter 221 "Old sir, such cheap glazed tiles must not be good things, right?"

The old man was worried that she was trying to save money, so he omitted some of the original estimate.

"My dear, these colored glaze tiles are very expensive, difficult to make, time-consuming and labor-intensive. The colored tiles for the entire palace cost about 100,000 strings of cash."

"One hundred thousand strings of cash?"

Ruan Jiao was slightly startled, but her expression quickly changed!

"So in the eyes of the palace, I, the daughter of a great general who came here to marry, am only worth 100,000 strings of cash?"

Back when I was a concubine in Chen Anbo's mansion, the glazed tiles in Huang Wenbing's courtyard alone cost 50,000 strings of cash, not to mention the entire mansion.

Now they are still the prince's mansion! The prince with two princes as his backers, the entire mansion is only worth 100,000 strings of glazed tiles?

"Old sir, such cheap glazed tiles must not be good stuff, right?"

The old man also understood what she meant and quickly changed his words: "Miss Hui, perhaps I remembered it wrongly. I am old, so it is normal for me to be confused."

"Miss Hui is of such noble birth that the prince attaches great importance to her and built a separate prince's mansion for her. It's all because of Miss Hui."

"The amount of glazed tiles needed by the Crown Prince's Mansion is probably far more than this, but no matter how high the price is, His Majesty will definitely agree to it!"

Shuang'er snorted, "That's more like it! My Miss Hui represents the entire Liao Kingdom, not just any ordinary noble lady from your capital."

"Yes, yes, yes." The old man apologized and thanked him. From beginning to end, Ruan Mian did not look up.

He was just amused by Ruan Jiao's behavior of giving money as a gift.

She really wanted to thank Ruan Jiao for her "consideration" in giving her more money.

After the master and servant left, she touched the jade bracelet again and summoned birds and beasts when no one was paying attention.

Before Ruan Jiao took a few steps, the chirping birds circled above her head and suddenly dropped a few bubbles of hot, sticky liquid.

It just happened to hit her face!

Shuang'er, who was standing by, was horrified: "Ah... Miss Hui! These are bird droppings!"

Ruan Jiao subconsciously tried to wipe it off with her hand, but the sticky stuff almost made her suffocate!

She was so angry that she ran away without caring about her image, and the hairpins and step-shakes on her head fell to the ground.

The old man and his servants were trying so hard to hold back their laughter that their faces seemed to be twitching.

After Ruan Jiao reacted, she pointed at them and yelled at them angrily.

"Who told you to laugh at me?! Don't you even look at your own status?! What qualifications do you have to laugh at me?"

"Shuang'er! Catch them all!"

No matter how much she pretends, she is still a person who is not presentable. When she gets angry, she loses her usual dignity.

The servants knelt down hurriedly and begged for mercy. However, at this time a woman in luxurious clothes came over and frowned when she saw Ruan Jiao's appearance.

"Miss Hui, what happened to make you so angry?"

When Ruan Jiao saw the woman, her expression suddenly changed. She immediately put on an aggrieved look, covering her face and sobbing, "Princess, it was them...they laughed at me."

She walked over with a miserable look on her face, and the disgusting filth on her face made the princess immediately take a few steps back.

The princess was a reasonable person. After scolding the servants a few times, she took Ruan Jiao away.

By the way, I asked the old gentleman to measure it as soon as possible, as the palace would be entertaining guests later.

After seeing them leave, Ruan Mian went to the yard again on the pretext of helping with the investigation.

At this time, Yue Niang had already crawled into the house by herself. Seeing that there was no maid to wait on her and the court doctor had not come, Ruan Mian simply pushed the door open and walked in. The noise startled Yue Niang, and she huddled behind the door in alert. When she saw Ruan Mian's unfamiliar face, her face became even more defensive.

Ruan Mian closed the door and slowed down his words: "Don't be afraid, Madam Yue, I am Mr. Xie's... wife."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yue was shocked: "Ah...Ah Huai's wife?" Then he immediately shook his head, grabbed Ruan Mian's hand and pushed her out.

"You can't stay here for long. If you're discovered by the palace, you'll definitely be dead! Go! Tell Ah Huai not to show up, no matter what!"

Seeing her so worried, Ruan Mian also understood how much Zhang Yue cared about Xie Huaian.

Ruan Mian clasped her hand in comfort: "Sister, don't worry, Ah Huai and I will be fine. This time I want to take you away."

"Listen to me first. There are still two days until the prince's wedding. During these two days, you still need to endure the grievances here and heal your leg injury first."

"I brought you some medicine, both oral and compressive. Follow the recipe. I also have this water bag, which contains special water mixed with medicine. You must drink it every day."

"Someone will give you something tomorrow. If you cooperate with me according to the instructions above, I will be able to rescue you."

Zhang Yue was a little hesitant, so Ruan Mian simply took out the gourd from his waist.

When Zhang Yue saw the gourd, she immediately believed her words and completely dispelled her doubts.

"Sister, I can't stay long. Now that I've told you all this, I have to go. Remember what I said. Ah Huai and...Teacher Zhang are waiting for you outside."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue asked anxiously, "Is the teacher okay?"

Ruan Mian pulled the corners of her mouth and nodded slightly. Seeing her face full of relief, she placed the medicine and spiritual spring water in front of her, looked at her deeply, and left.

After leaving the palace with the old gentleman, the old gentleman could not help but complain to Ruan Mian.

"Mrs. Ruan, have you heard about it just now?" He couldn't help but stroke his beard and laughed.

"Miss Hui insisted on giving us money, so we can't refuse, right? There's really no other way. This way, my lady can make a lot of money."

"It's all thanks to the old man."

"The Crown Prince will be getting married in two days. The Prince originally said that the construction must be completed half a month after the wedding. Now there is definitely no problem."

"The stone in my heart has finally fallen. I really want to thank Madam Ruan again for solving the important matter in my heart."

Seeing the old man bowing, Ruan Mian quickly bowed back.

"Excuse me, ma'am, where are you from? I'm thinking of a way to make it easier to transport the raw materials."

"Old sir, when I'm done, I'll find someone to explain the raw materials business to you."

Now she has tasks to complete and doesn't have much time to do business.

When she returned, she immediately told Xie Huaian the news about Yue Niang, including her plan to rescue Yue Niang.

After hearing this, Xie Huaian frowned and looked a little worried.

"This method is too risky, Mianmian. What's more, you're going alone. I..."

"Sir! This method may be dangerous, but it is the best. We cannot waste any more time. The longer my sister stays, the more danger she will be in."

She hadn't told Xie Huaian yet how that pervert Mu Ren tortured Zhang Yue.

If he had heard it, he would probably want to rush to the palace and kill people today.

Although... adults are not such impulsive people.
