He didn't become smarter; rather, he was particularly willing to trust Su Wenyuan and had long been bought off by her. He was very obedient, but occasionally he was a bit naive and couldn't distinguish between good and bad words.

Sheng Jingyu got the answer she wanted, nodded in satisfaction, and thought to herself, "I'll wear it like this."

At this moment, Ye Shan suddenly came in and told him that Su Wenyuan had only picked two items, which were not expensive and were quite ordinary.

"She only picked two items?" Sheng Jingyu was not satisfied. "Why don't you just pick some more for her and send them to Zhuyue Pavilion!"

Su Wenyuan doesn't need to bother choosing anymore; just buy all the nice ones.

When the shopkeepers found out, they smiled again, overjoyed.

Su Wenyuan was unwilling to leave the mansion to make her selections because she wanted to keep a low profile, but Sheng Jingyu did something quite high-profile.

The news has spread throughout the capital that Prince Chen spent a fortune to buy many clothes and jewelry, all for his wife.

These are all rare and valuable items from some of the most famous shops in the capital.

Some daughters of officials went to several shops looking for a pretty hairpin, but none of them were to their liking. They found out that all the nice ones were in the Prince Chen's mansion.

Looking at the table full of clothes and jewelry, Su Wenyuan felt that Sheng Jingyu had gone mad.

“This pile of hairpins is enough to prick me like a hedgehog. How about I hire a few embroiderers to embroider some new sachets for him?” Su Wenyuan suggested.

She was just embroidering something casually because she had nothing else to do. Thinking that Sheng Jingyu was somewhat pitiful, she had a sudden inspiration and embroidered a phoenix.

The final embroidery wasn't very good; it wasn't worth the whole table of clothes and jewelry.

Ye Shan packed her things and said, "One sachet is enough, we don't need any more."

"Has no one given him a sachet before? Why is he so excited and wants to return such a generous gift?" Su Wenyuan was very confused. She felt like she hadn't done anything, but she had received a lot of good things.

Ye Shan said mysteriously, "The prince ignored the gifts he had sent, but the princess's gifts were different."

She doesn't need to elaborate on the specific differences, does she?

Su Wenyuan thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally realized, "None of them are as ugly as the ones I sent. Your prince likes these kinds of things."

"..." Ye Shan's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

No one can match the ugliness of her gift.

Sheng Jingyu did indeed like it quite a bit, and even preferred the ugly one.

Su Wenyuan pursed her lips and said, "I was originally thinking of finding a few skilled embroiderers to make him a basket! But now it seems I should forget about it. He might not even like a basket."

"Let's put these away for now. I'll go check on the Prince." Su Wenyuan decided to go and ask him herself.

What Ye Shan said was just a joke.

Sheng Jingyu can't see beauty or ugliness, so why is he suddenly buying her things? Does he need her help with something?

On the way, they ran into Hua Ling, who was delivering medicine. The two inevitably had a few words of argument.

"The taste of this medicine has changed again. You didn't have the prince test the medicine for you, did you?" Su Wenyuan looked up and asked, full of doubts.

Hua Ling rolled her eyes at her and said, "You don't know how to heal, so what's the point of talking to you?"

The two entered the study, and Sheng Jingyu pretended to be blind again.

Hua Ling had just put down the medicine when she noticed the ugly thing at his waist. She was quick and grabbed it.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Jingyu tightened the belt even more, almost pulling it off his waistband.

Hua Ling shook off her hand and said, "What a piece of junk, tied so tightly."

"Why are you being so cheeky?" Su Wenyuan quickly stepped forward, straightened Sheng Jingyu's belt, and adjusted the position of the sachet.

Su Wenyuan was focused on arranging the sachets when Sheng Jingyu glared at Hua Ling, thinking, "You're really asking for trouble."

Hua Ling shrank back and left; he meant well.

Wearing such ugly things on your body really affects your image.

Su Wenyuan looked at the sachet and stammered, "Actually, it's not that pretty. I was just kidding. I don't know how to embroider, I've never learned before, and I've never seen a phoenix."

Sheng Jingyu smiled and said, "I know that anyone who knows how to embroider would not bleed with every stitch."

Those who knew her were embroidering, but those who didn't would have thought she was bleeding herself out.

"??? Are you making fun of me?" Su Wenyuan glared, clearly displeased.

Sheng Jingyu quickly changed his tune, saying, "No, it's just... you're pretty amazing."

How can you not be amazing if you can finish embroidering after making so many holes?

"It's really not good-looking," Su Wenyuan reminded her again.

Sheng Jingyu showed no intention of taking it down, so Su Wenyuan quickly distanced herself, saying, "I'm telling you it doesn't look good, it's because you don't want to take it down, it has nothing to do with me."

Sheng Jingyu asked doubtfully, "Is it that ugly? You don't even dare to admit that you embroidered it?"

“I admit it, I chose the pattern on purpose! What’s there to be afraid of? But I didn’t force you to wear it.” Su Wenyuan was still quite proud of the finished embroidery she had made.

Whether it looks good or not is another matter; it's best not to say anything.

Sheng Jingyu couldn't help but look at her and say, "Since it was specially chosen, then wear it. I've never received such a special gift before."

Su Wenyuan looked up in surprise, but Sheng Jingyu looked away, his expression unchanged.

It seems there's no need to ask anymore. Sheng Jingyu really hasn't seen anything good. A mere sachet was enough to swindle him out of his entire fortune.

"Okay!" Su Wenyuan tidied it up again and was quite satisfied.

The banquet hadn't even started yet, and Su Wenyuan had already stolen the show.

Meanwhile, news of the Prime Minister's residence also spread.

Wang angrily berated Prime Minister Su, her outburst resembling that of a shrew shouting in the street.

Under Su Wenyuan's deliberate guidance, Wang's background and past misdeeds were exposed.

For example, they bully orphans and widows, spread rumors about the innocence of unmarried girls, steal money, and seize other people's land and property.

Ye Shan and his team found out all of this, and Su Wenyuan even invited some of the parties involved to the capital.

Most of it was done before Wang entered the Prime Minister's residence. Later, when she became the Prime Minister's wife, Su Yuan helped her solve some of the problems, and she also solved some of the troubles herself.

Wang's solution was quite simple: suppression through money and power.

That left those people angry but dared not speak out.

Su Yuan values ​​his reputation and dignity, and he compensated those who resolved matters on his behalf.

Those invited to the capital this time are all people who were dealt with improperly back then, and they are still demanding an explanation.

If they wish, Su Wenyuan can help them escalate the situation and seek justice for the grievances they have suffered over the years.

Rumors circulated that Su Lin'er's request to see Princess Heyi was refused.

Princess Heyi suddenly stopped paying attention to her, let alone helping her attend the banquet.

Upon learning of the rumors circulating outside, Su Yuan first consulted Wang Shi, who said that the matters he knew could be resolved.

The key question is whether what he was unaware of was true or not.

Wang didn't dare let Su Yuan know in the first place, and she dared even less now, so she stubbornly denied it, insisting that someone deliberately fabricated false information to ruin her reputation.
