Before the two of them could feel the pain, someone from Jinluoge came to their door again with a bill and jewelry.

Minister Xu's face turned as black as ink, and he slammed his palm on the table in anger.

Looking at the jewelry in front of her, she was furious.

"More than 20,000 taels, more than 20,000 taels again. Did she think that the money from our Shangshu Mansion was blown away by the wind?"

"What the hell is going on? Why did you let that rebellious girl go out?!"

Mrs. Xu could only helplessly tell the story of what happened in the morning.

Minister Xu felt a headache when he heard this: "So, she is with the little witch now?"

"Yes, what should we do, Master? If she really catches the eye of the little witch, how can we control her?"

"Besides, with her temper, if things go wrong, we will all be dragged down by her."

Minister Xu fell into deep thought, and finally spoke: "Send all the things to her room, and give her everything she deserves according to her previous treatment."

"When she comes back, ask her to come to the study."

Xu's mother's eyes flashed: "Okay."

Xu Jingwan was standing outside the door. Her face turned ugly when she heard this and she clenched her hands.

She didn't understand why a girl from the country was so difficult to deal with. If I were you, she would catch the eye of Princess Xinyue.

As long as Princess Xinyue is around, everyone in the family has to support her even if they dislike her.

It would be even more difficult to drive her away.

Hearing the sound, Xu Jingwan quickly ran away quietly and hid in the corner. When her eyes fell on the exquisite jewelry and clothes on the trays, the jealousy in her eyes almost overflowed.

These things should have been hers, they were hers.

But because Xu Jinyi showed up and snatched it away, she really deserved to die.

Xu Jingwan returned to the room and pinched and pinched Xiufen, venting her anger.

"Miss, don't worry. Even if she catches the eye of Princess Xinyue, she won't pose any threat to you. It's still unclear whether it will be a blessing or a curse."

"Princess Xinyue hates people gossiping about her the most. If she can make Princess Xinyue disgusted, then this is better than anything you can do. Miss, think about it carefully. Isn't this better than doing it yourself?" Xiufen said quickly, enduring the pain.

Xu Jingwan then stopped and pondered these words: "You are right, being close to Princess Xinyue may not be a good thing. Even if it is a good thing, I can turn it into a bad thing."

In the evening, the whole family was waiting for Xu Jinyi to come back for dinner, but she was nowhere to be seen.

"Dad, why should we wait for her to eat? We don't even know if she'll come back. What's the point of waiting for her? How dare you make us all wait for her with empty stomachs?"

Minister Xu's face also darkened. After all, Xu Jinyi had a maid who took her out, so even if she didn't come back for dinner, she should have sent someone back to inform her.

"Third brother, my sister may be on her way back. Let's wait a little longer." Xu Jingwan said.

"Does she think she can ignore us just because she's hooked up with Princess Xinyue? Country bumpkins are country bumpkins, they don't know any rules."

Minister Xu slammed the table and said, "Alright, let's eat. No need to wait."

When Xu Jinyi came back, it was completely dark. She came back with two maids carrying large and small bags of things.

When Xu's mother saw those things, her face froze. In the end, she didn't say anything, but asked her to go to the study.

Xu Jinyi raised an eyebrow and asked her to lead the way.

Xu Jinyi could probably guess why her father was looking for her, so when she heard him ask the question, she pretended not to understand.

"Father, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Xinyue and I are just new friends. She just asked me out shopping."

"Friend? Then how did I hear that she was even willing to pay for the things you bought?"

"Oh, you mean that? When Xinyue came today, she saw Mother and a group of maids making things difficult for me. She was worried that Mother would hate me, so she wouldn't buy me anything and maybe wouldn't pay for it either. So she said that since you guys didn't pay, she would help pay for it."

Minister Xu's expression faded a little. "Did she say anything else? Did she make an appointment with you for another meeting?"

Xu Jinyi: "No."

Minister Xu's expression became even more indifferent.

The next second, Xu Jinyi said, "But she told me to come to the Regent's Palace to play with her anytime. She asked me to go with her to the Regent's Palace to listen to the teacher's class."

Minister Xu's eyes lit up, and with joy, he showed Xu Jinyi a loving smile: "So what did you answer? The teachers in the Regent's Palace are all famous. If you can listen to their lectures, then you won't have to worry about finding a good family in the future."

"You don't need to understand. Just tell others and they'll think more highly of you."

Xu Jinyi blinked innocently: "I refused. My mother wanted to lock me up and not give me food or let me go out, so I refused."

Upon hearing this, Minister Xu became furious. "What a misunderstanding! Didn't your mother explain it to you? You're not under house arrest. Go to the Regent's Palace tomorrow to find Princess Xinyue and tell her you're willing to attend the class."

"Come to your house tomorrow? But I don't have any gift?" Xu Jinyi spread his hands, indicating that the ten thousand taels he had earned today had been spent.

Minister Xu took out a few banknotes from the drawer and said, "Take these. Tomorrow, buy some gifts and go to Princess Xinyue's house to talk things over."

"Okay, then I'll buy some gifts and go over tomorrow."

"Okay." Minister Xu smiled.

When Xu Jinyi walked out of the study, he saw Xu Jingwan at the end of the corridor from afar.

Xu Jinyi walked over with a smug look on his face, and waved the banknotes in his hand in front of her.

"Money is such a good thing! How much did I spend today? Thirty thousand or forty thousand taels?"

"This Shangshu family's daughter is really enjoying life. Look, she's barely spent it all and someone's already giving her money."

"No wonder you're so stubborn and refuse to leave my house. So this is what you want."

Xu Jingwan looked at the dazzling stack of banknotes and glared at Xu Jinyi angrily.

"Xu Jinyi, don't think you win just because you know Princess Xinyue. I want to see who will have the last laugh."

"Then take a look, fake!"

"you--"

Ignoring Xu Jingwan's murderous look, Xu Jinyi returned to his room and took a nice bath.

The first thing Xinyue did after leaving was to find Shangguan Yu.

Shangguan Yu listened to her talking about the three medicinal herbs with a serious expression, pacing back and forth in the yard.

"Brother Shangguan, if I can really find these three herbs, can I really be cured?"

Shangguan did not answer, but kept muttering these things.

"Xinyue, are you sure she said she could get the Millennium Snow Lotus?"

Xinyue nodded.

Shangguan Yu's expression became excited: "Xinyue, if this is true, then your poison may really be able to be cured. The Tianshan thousand-year-old snow lotus is only found in Yaowang Valley."

"If she can get it, then she must have a close relationship with Medicine King Valley. Perhaps the three medicinal herbs she mentioned are real."

Shangguan asked to meet Xu Jinyi, and Xinyue could only say that she would ask Xu Jinyi tomorrow whether he was willing first.

Then he returned to the Regent's Palace under the escort of Shangguan Yu.
