Those who entered and exited the Baiyu Tea House were all noble ladies and noblewomen from the capital.
The three of them are now kneeling in the hall, attracting many stares and whispers, and have completely lost face.
After Jiang Qingwan and the others went upstairs.
Huo immediately stood up, supported by her maid, her face ashen.
"Madam Su has truly raised a good daughter."
After saying that, he snorted coldly, turned around, and left.
Su Yulan was seething with anger at the moment, and retorted angrily, "What does this have to do with me? It's about Jiang Qingwan..."
"Shut up!"
Cheng glared at her fiercely and quickly went to catch up with Huo.
The constant flattering words and sweet talk made Su Yulan feel even more humiliated.
That damned Jiang Qingwan!
...
In the private room on the second floor, Mo Qingrui introduced the three sisters inside to Jiang Qingwan, but did not mention the gossip in the hall or the dragon pendant.
Jiang Qingwan couldn't help but feel even more favorably disposed towards Mo Qingrui.
Although straightforward and outspoken, he always maintains a proper sense of propriety, never overstepping boundaries or abusing his power.
The group of people interacted in a way that was extremely egalitarian, peaceful, and warm.
This is quite rare among women.
The woman with the peony in her hair was named Fu An'an, the same woman Mo Qingrui had mentioned who came from a merchant family and had been divorced.
There are shops on half a street in Zhen'an District.
She recognized Jiang Qingwan as soon as she entered the room.
"Miss Jiang, I bought two of your shops. I was wondering why that master from the Qin family signed the papers, but I never expected there to be such a story. Sister, I have a way to make them return all the money they paid for the shops, and even compensate me one penny more. What do you think?"
Mo Qingrui laughed, "An'an's business acumen is extraordinary. Jiang, what do you think? Should we fight back?"
Jiang Qingwan waved her hand.
“They have their own people to take care of things, I don’t need to lift a finger. I appreciate your kind offer, Qingwan.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Qingrui did not insist.
"That's right. With Jiang's abilities, she certainly has plenty of ways to deal with those people if she wants to."
As she was speaking, a woman in a light purple dress suddenly covered her mouth and coughed softly a few times. Her already pale face looked even more sickly and weak.
Jiang Qingwan glanced at it, said nothing, and lowered her head to sip her tea.
She had heard before that the tea from Baiyu Tea House was second only to the tribute tea from the imperial palace.
Today's dish is indeed excellent.
Song Yushu was clearly familiar with the others.
He gently patted the woman's back.
"My sister's cough has dragged on for so long, why isn't it getting better?"
The person smiled gently.
"It's an old ailment, thank you for your concern, sister. The doctor in the manor has been preparing a remedy to improve it, but I've been feeling a bit weak these past few days. Once these few days are over, I can play mahjong with you all for a day without any problems."
Upon hearing this, Fu An'an said, "I just acquired a century-old ginseng. I will send someone to deliver it to your residence tomorrow."
"Thank you, Sister Fu."
"Why are you being so polite with me? I didn't hold back when I won three hundred taels of silver from you last time."
Fu An'an's personality is similar to Mo Qingrui's; she quickly livened up the atmosphere with just a few words.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Mo Qingrui personally poured tea for Jiang Qingwan.
She glanced at the other three and rolled her eyes coquettishly.
"Alright, you all keep it to yourselves, then I'll ask for you."
"Jiang Meizi, Lu Ning has always been in poor health and has been unable to conceive. Do you have any way to help her have a child?"
Lu Ning was the woman in purple who had just coughed.
All eyes were on Jiang Qingwan.
Although Mo Qingrui had personally described the talisman's supernatural powers, they hadn't experienced it firsthand, so they naturally didn't dare to fully believe it.
Lu Ning smiled faintly at her and said, "It doesn't matter if I can't, but I feel guilty towards my husband for not being able to give birth to a son for him. If I die, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest in peace."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mo Qingrui scoffed lightly, her eyes even a little red.
Jiang Qingwan gently turned the teacup in her hand, and the aroma of tea wafted to her nose along with the steam.
She never thinks she can have too much money.
If I can earn a million gold, I can return to Qilian Mountain to recast the golden statues of the eight patriarchs.
Master will definitely not be angry with her anymore.
Thinking of this, she slowly spoke.
"You are destined to be a Gemini."
Lu Ning's dimmed eyes instantly lit up.
"Little fairy, is what you say true? I... I really can have a child?"
Jiang Qingwan nodded.
"This is fate, but a person's fate can be changed by many things and will not necessarily become a fixed fact."
Lu Ning didn't quite understand.
He immediately stood up and bowed to Jiang Qingwan.
"Please enlighten me, little fairy."
Jiang Qingwan gently tapped the table.
"Five thousand taels of silver can solve the problem of changing this fate. As for the rest, it's up to you to choose."
Lu Ning still didn't quite understand.
However, five thousand taels was not much for her, and she immediately nodded.
"I'll send someone to fetch it."
After saying this, he walked to the door and whispered a few words to the maid guarding outside before turning back and curtsying to Jiang Qingwan.
"Is the little fairy going to draw a talisman for me to have a child?"
Jiang Qingwan shook her head.
"I'm not a goddess who grants children."
"Stop drinking those medicines, and don't eat century-old ginseng either. Your body is too weak to handle such tonics; it will only make you weaker and weaker."
Lu Ning frowned.
"Does the little fairy mean that there's something wrong with my medicine? That's impossible. That physician is my man; he would never dare to tamper with the medicine."
Jiang Qingwan pointed to her wrist.
"Who gave you this bracelet?"
Lu Ning looked down, feeling even more confused.
“This was given to me by my cousin. It’s a memento from my grandmother. I saw my grandmother wearing it when I was little, so there’s no mistake.”
