Chapter 30
Song Xuan then looked at Lin Yue'er and gently took his leave: "I will not disturb Miss Lin's enjoyment any longer."
After saying that, he hurriedly left.
Before Lin Yue'er could even contain her anger, Song Xuan left her with only his departing, moon-white silhouette.
She was so angry she wanted to tear the handkerchief to shreds.
Shen Qingnian, she will never let her succeed!
The shopkeeper next to him wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself, "Miss is indeed incredibly resourceful."

Within an hour, the red jade headdress was delivered to Shen Qingnian.
Xiaoju was stunned by the gorgeous and exquisite headdress: "This is so beautiful."
Shen Qingnian glanced at it and decided to keep only a pair of red jade earrings and a red jade jasmine hairpin. She instructed Xiaoju to "pry off the red jade and sell it. Send the money to my aunt as usual."
She needed money, and she absolutely could not go to the place Shen Zheng had arranged for her.
She couldn't touch or take anything belonging to the Shen family; the housekeeper knew everything about her courtyard.
She could exchange this red jade headdress for money.
Xiaoju was surprised but also a little cautious: "Miss, won't the master find out? The steward saw this brocade box when it was brought here."
“He doesn’t know how much stuff is in here, and he won’t check. By the time Shen Zheng realizes something is wrong, I’ll probably have already fled,” Shen Qingnian waved her hand.
This was not without risk, but if she didn't do it, she wouldn't be able to raise much money.
Hearing Shen Qingnian say this, Xiaoju said no more, quickly took out the rest of the items from the brocade box and put them into her bosom.
In the next two days, she found an opportunity to leave the mansion and sell all these things.
Having spent these days with Shen Qingnian, Xiaoju has become much bolder and more composed.
After Xiaoju finished packing, she said to Shen Qingnian, "Miss, when the people from Linglong Pavilion came to deliver things, I heard that when His Highness the Crown Prince bought jewelry for you, Miss Lin was also there. She seemed quite angry."
Shen Qingnian's eyes lit up: "Good news."
What I wanted was for Lin Yue'er to be angry.
A few days later, the steward learned that Lin Yue'er had been going to Xingyue Restaurant for meals several times recently.
The Lin family has been quite unsettled lately. Lin Minxin is so busy that he has no time to care for Lin Yue'er.
Lin Yue'er went out of the mansion almost every day, and her personality became increasingly domineering. She also frequently got into arguments with noble ladies in the capital.
Shen Qingnian wrote a letter at her desk and handed it to the steward to be delivered to the East Palace. She then changed into a plain white dress and headed to Xingyue Tower.
----------
Xingyuelou is located in the very center of the capital and is the largest restaurant in the city. Only noble families, powerful and wealthy men and women can enter and leave.
When Shen Qingnian, dressed in plain clothes, stepped into Xingyue Tower, all eyes turned to her, including Lin Yue'er.
Today, Lin Yue'er is still dressed in fine clothes, but unlike before, she now has a whip around her waist.
The look in her eyes as she glared at Shen Qingnian was fierce, as if she wanted to lash her out with a whip.
Lin Yue'er disliked Shen Qingnian, but others did not.
After a moment of silence in the restaurant, Prince Ye Lingzhou spoke up with delight: "Miss Chen, weren't you ill? Why did you leave the manor today? Have you recovered?"
Shen Qingnian walked to Ye Lingzhou's side and nodded with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I caught a cold a few days ago, but I'm much better these past two days."
Ye Lingzhou nodded and immediately greeted them:
