Jin Mudan frowned and asked worriedly, "You can stay here as long as you want without worry."

"But what are your plans for the future?"

"Will you find someone else to marry, or will you live alone like me?"

Su Yujiao thought for a moment and said, "I think I'll find something to do first and earn some money. I'll think about other things later."

"You've finally figured it out. Someone like you shouldn't be stuck in the backyard."

"If you hadn't insisted on marrying Lu Ziqian back then, giving up the opportunity to learn medicine from Mo Shenyi, you would already be a world-renowned goddess doctor."

Thinking of Doctor Mo, Su Yujiao felt guilty; she had let him down.

Doctor Mo left in disappointment and anger, and she even scolded her for being spineless, giving up a bright future for a man, saying that she would regret it one day.

Unexpectedly, Doctor Mo's words came true, and she truly regretted it.

Seeing Su Yujiao's guilty and remorseful expression, Jin Mudan quickly changed the subject: "Have you decided what to do?"

"I haven't decided yet, I'll see."

“Both opening a clinic and a restaurant require capital, and I am currently penniless.”

Jin Mudan replied without hesitation, "I've saved up some money over the years, so I'll use mine first, however much you need."

Su Yujiao shook her head. She knew her own limitations and didn't want to do any big-investment business for the time being.

"I'll rest for two days first."

"Alright."

Jin Mudan gestured towards the door with her chin: "Who's that woman?"

"Ignore the Lu family."

"We're already divorced, why are you still bothering me?"

Su Yujiao frowned: "It's probably because Lu Ziqian's pride was hurt. I was the one who brought up divorce first, which made him lose face."

Jin Mudan rolled her eyes at Mo Hua: "Men are all masochists."

Mo Hua listened to their conversation, her face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

They dared to insult their master like that, they deserve to die!

However, this time Su Yujiao seems to be different; she seems to be serious.

Jin Mudan led Su Yujiao upstairs, where several alluring women were selecting rouge and accessories.

A group of women gathered around her as she went upstairs, chattering and asking her questions.

"Lady Jin, has the rouge I ordered last time arrived?"

"Sister Peony, do you have any more elaborate bellybands here?"

Judging from their clothes and appearance, it's easy to tell they are courtesans.

But Su Yujiao did not look down on them. Most of these women who had fallen into prostitution were pitiful people forced into it, and none of them were there voluntarily.

Jin Mudan moved with ease among the group of women: "Here's the rouge you wanted."

"This is the bellyband you wanted, with the most fashionable pattern in Yangzhou."

The woman in yellow, holding the pink bodice, asked with some disappointment, "Sister Peony, don't you have any other designs?"

“These are too ordinary; those men are tired of seeing them.”

Peony rolled her eyes: "Aren't all bellybands the same? You think you can conjure something up?"

The woman in yellow chuckled, "If you can really conjure flowers, I'll buy them no matter the price."

Su Yujiao suddenly blushed and said, "How about I give it a try?"

At this moment, everyone could see the woman behind Jin Mudan clearly. She had a woman's hair in a bun, dressed elegantly, and even blushed when she spoke. She was clearly a lady from a respectable family.

The woman in yellow was somewhat surprised; wherever they went, they were humiliated and looked down upon.

The ladies and young women of wealthy and powerful families, in particular, held them in utter contempt.

What's strange is that today, this lady not only didn't humiliate them, but also took the initiative to talk to them.

Even Jin Mudan was somewhat surprised: "Jiaojiao, you?"

Su Yujiao said somewhat embarrassedly, "I need money, and... I know what kind of effect they want."

It's just an ancient version of wedding lingerie, cough... she'd seen plenty of that in her past life.

A pang of heartache flashed in Jin Mudan's eyes. She was once the apple of the Su family's eye, but now she had been reduced to making clothes for brothel girls.

She was different from me; I was already mired in the mire, defiled and desecrated, so I wasn't afraid to deal with these courtesans.

But Jiaojiao is still a pure and flawless lotus, and she doesn't want her to be mired in the mud.

Jin Mudan pulled Su Yujiao into the changing room: "Jiaojiao, there are many ways to make money..."

Su Yujiao interrupted her, "Peony, you don't need to dissuade me. From the moment I left the Lu family, I was prepared to suffer."

"Alright, if you've really thought it through, I won't try to persuade you anymore."

"Um."

"Tell her to wait a moment; it will be fixed in a quarter of an hour at most."

Su Yujiao took the pink silk bodice and cut out the white lotus embroidery from it for later use.

She cut the remaining silk fabric into several long strips and a triangle.

Triangular strips of fabric are used to make thongs, while long strips are used for the straps and edging of the bibs and thongs.

After doing all that, she cut a few more pieces from the pink gauze that was decorating the house.

One of the pieces was made into the style of a bellyband, with the white lotus sewn onto it.

Actually, it would look better to embroider the flowers directly onto the gauze, but there's simply no time for embroidery now.

Soon a semi-transparent embroidered bellyband was finished.

Thongs are even simpler; just hem the fabric and sew on a few straps.

With a halter top and thong, all that's missing is a subtly revealing skirt.

The skirt was made of pink gauze, with slits on both sides that went all the way up to the waist. When she walked, not only were her long white legs exposed, but even most of her buttocks were revealed.

After Su Yujiao finished, she called the woman in yellow to the fitting room: "Okay, try it on."
