Lu Yan said: "Of course I'd go to a pawnshop with a good reputation and fair prices."
"Understood." The butler packed up the deed and left quickly.
There are only two pawnshops in the whole capital with good reputation and fair prices, and what's not so coincidental is that both of them belong to the Qin family.
Now the Qin family pawnshop is under the management of the third master of the Qin family. Not many people know that the pawnshop belongs to the Qin family, and the housekeeper happens to be one of them. However, since his master said that he wanted a pawnshop with a good reputation and fair prices, he sent the deed to the Qin family pawnshop.
The deed was delivered to Qin Wan in the blink of an eye. Uncle Qin Bai was overjoyed: "I never thought that the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion would have to rely on pawning to survive."
Qin Wan knew the accounts of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion best. After a quick calculation, she knew how much money the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion had now. "They've pawned these two shops, so I'm afraid they're going to make a big splash."
Qin Wan returned the deed to Qin Bai and said, "Third Uncle, please keep it safe. The princes will be attending the wedding banquet, and the Pingyang Marquis's mansion will not be shortchanged in gifts. They will have to go back to redeem the property after the banquet."
Qin Bai glanced at her and said, "You always have your own ideas. I don't believe that the backup plan you left behind will give him the money to redeem the shop. Consider this as a gift from your Third Uncle. After the divorce, how can you live on your own without some money to rely on?"
Qin Wan thought about it and decided not to take the deed: "If you want to give it to me, you have to wait until the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion confirms that it is a death pawn."
Qin Bai looked at her sly smile and suddenly became curious. He leaned over and asked, "Have you prepared anything? Come and tell your uncle, what are you preparing?"
Qin Wancai didn't tell him: "Won't you know then? The wedding is still more than three months away. If you come back early, I will definitely let you watch a good show."
Qin Bai frowned and took out a notebook, looking through his schedule. He had rushed back after hearing the news of his niece's divorce, and had postponed everything to next month. By then...
Qin Bai scratched his fingers on the notebook, finally asking him to make some free time: "Okay! I'll be back in Beijing for three days then, is that enough time?"
"That's enough." Qin Wan reached out and took Qin Bai's notebook. She glanced at where he was going next and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Uncle San, help me find something."
Qin Bai loved Qin Wan the most, so why would he refuse? He promised her many things.
Qin Wan naturally would not take her third uncle's things for nothing. Before her third uncle left, she gave him a few three-foot square pieces of Wuxiang colored glass. As for the car windows, she did not modify them. Her third uncle was away from home all year round, so safety was the most important thing.
As the wedding date draws closer, Bai Wanyi becomes more and more unwilling to accept the fact. For so many days, the prince has not seen her and has been avoiding her. Isn't this another kind of infatuation?
The woman he loved was getting married, so he had to keep his distance from her.
Just thinking about it made Bai Wanyi feel very uncomfortable, because that was the position of the Crown Princess!
With her abilities, what if the Crown Prince is not favored by the Emperor? What if the road ahead is difficult?
For her, helping the prince to ascend the throne is easy, and then the position of queen will be within her grasp, right?
Bai Wanyi took out some silver and asked someone to find out the whereabouts of the prince, and immediately ran to the city gate to block him.
"Your Highness!"
Xie Qing tightened the reins and looked at Bai Wanyi, who was dressed like a delicate flower in front of him. Behind him, a group of rich and powerful young men laughed and laughed:
"Hey, whose little lady is this? She's quite pretty."
"Isn't this Miss Bai? She'll soon be the Marquis's wife. She came specially to see our Crown Prince, yo yo yo..."
Bai Wanyi glared at them with a blushing face, "I'm here to discuss serious matters with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Don't tarnish my reputation!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince still has important matters to attend to? Hahaha!"
A few people looked at each other and laughed again, but they also cooperated and stepped aside to give them space to talk.
Bai Wanyi looked at the distance between them, looked up at the strange things and pleaded, "Your Highness, let's go over there and talk. I have some new progress."
Xie Qing looked in the direction she pointed and saw a big tree.
He rode his horse over, jumped off, leaned against a tree, and looked lazily at Bai Wanyi who was running towards him.
I have to say that this woman is very pretty. She is the mother of a seven-year-old child, but she still has the delicate demeanor of a young girl and her eyes are clear. I wonder how a woman with so many thoughts can have such eyes?
Unexpectedly, Xie Qing thought of Qin Wan's eyes. They were clear, yet full of stories that made people unable to look away.
Bai Wanyi walked quickly to Xie Qing and saw him in a trance. She was delighted and knew that he was interested in her. Look, isn't he lost in thought just looking at her?
Bai Wanyi knew very well that to make a man fall in love with her in a short period of time, she not only needed to rely on her personal charm, but also had to have her own value.
The thing Bai Wanyi lacked the most was self-worth. Her mind worked quickly, and she tugged at Xie Qing's sleeves with both hands, saying with a hint of grievance, "I've sent several messages to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he hasn't replied. I can only block his way here."
She bit her lip, raised her eyes and looked at Xie Qing with tears in her eyes, her face full of resistance to the unfairness of fate: "Life at the border is not easy. My life as an orphan is more important than my chastity. I can't come here to ask for mercy from the prince."
Xie Qing looked at his sleeves, wishing he could cut her hand off right then and there. He said nonchalantly, "Oh, how can I show you mercy? Are you unwilling to marry? But your marriage to Marquis Lu was arranged by our father. If I ruin your marriage, how will the censors view me? What good will it do me? Hmm?"
The ending of his tone rose slightly, with a hint of frivolity, as if he didn't care at all about being impeached by the censor, and only cared about his own interests.
Bai Wanyi was delighted, as he was the biggest benefit!
She was encouraged in her heart. Between the position of a marquis' wife and a crown princess, everyone knew how to choose!
Bai Wanyi softened his voice, as if it contained a few pounds of honey. "I admire His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Knowing my humble status, I didn't want to tell His Royal Highness. But I haven't seen His Royal Highness for a while now, and now I know what it feels like to miss him."
"My thoughts are in turmoil and my heart is broken. But it is difficult to disobey Your Majesty's order to allow us to get married." Bai Wanyi hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Xie Qing's dissatisfaction had reached its peak. He raised his hand to pull back his sleeve. "So what exactly do you want to say? You came to me just to pour out your heart? Didn't you say there was progress? What progress? There's no progress or benefits. Why are you nagging me here?"
Bai Wanyi suddenly looked up, tears streaming down her face. No matter what Xie Qing said, she just kept talking to herself, "I don't want to say anything. I just thought His Royal Highness would understand. I don't want anything in return. I just want His Royal Highness to know my feelings. That's all. I..."
Bai Wanyi's remaining words, met with his cold eyes, which made her sober for a moment. She pursed her lips, swallowed the words of confession, and said softly: "I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has retainers and staff. If he rashly offends Marquis Lu for me and defies the imperial decree, there must be benefits."
