Hearing that Shen Aoshan was about to contribute her dowry again, Yan Miaoling quickly stopped her, "Sister, there's no rush for the dowry. There's a big business coming up soon, and you can invest in it then!"
"What business?" Who doesn't want to make money? Shen Aoshan wanted to make money too. Especially after learning that Jin Xuhe was the son of the richest man and had a natural talent for business, her mind became even more active.
"Sister, you have to keep this a secret, otherwise it will be bad if others follow suit. I heard that a new round of war will start in the north in about a month. When the situation on the border becomes tense, the price of food will definitely rise. So, Mr. Jin is planning to use the money he earns from the clothing shop to slowly stockpile food."
"Who told you that there was going to be a war? Was it Prince Chen?" Shen Aoshan asked.
"Of course not, that big shot would tell me directly. You know that he and Mr. Jin are good friends. I think it's always right to trust the prediction of my future brother-in-law!" Yan Miaoling's eyes were bright, and she deliberately teased Shen Aoshan.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Shen Aoshan also had a daughterly look on her face, and said shyly, "It's still uncertain what will happen in the future. At most, I am just his subordinate now!"
Xuanyuan Mingchen is not only powerful and well-known for his fighting skills, but also has excellent personal conditions. The heroine Shen Aoshan is of course no exception, especially since they are engaged, she feels hopeful.
After knowing that Xuanyuan Mingchen was not disabled at all, she gave up the idea of turning to the young master of a noble family.
Yan Miaoling couldn't help but notice, so she continued teasing, "Look, sister, you're embarrassed. Do you want me to send a letter to the prince, saying that someone misses him..."
I felt deeply moved. The heroine truly had a keen eye for talent, choosing Xuanyuan Mingchen over the Emperor. [The War God Prince is not only tall, but also has long legs. He looks like a domineering CEO. Most importantly, he's incredibly long-lived, potentially reaching ninety-nine.]
Live to be ninety-nine...
This piqued Xuanyuan Mingchen's interest in the shadows. He simply ignored the maid's repeated complaints. Could it be that she possessed the ability to predict the future? Otherwise, why could she not only predict that war would break out in a month, but also predict when she would die?
Although he had no intention of rebellion as a leading soldier in battle, he was well aware of the principle that when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked, and was very worried that he would die an untimely death in the future and not die a natural death.
Yan Miaoling's words resonated deeply with him. If she truly could predict the future in addition to her invisibility, then he really needed to make a good friend of her. At the very least, he couldn't let her be used by the enemy.
Before Xuanyuan Mingchen left, he cast a deep glance at the "guard dog." How could someone so unruly as Ye Xiao willingly be confined to the inner chambers to serve as a guard?
Only after he left did Ye Xiao turn his gaze. The two were equally powerful, so it wasn't surprising that they noticed each other. What a hidden master, King Chen! If the one sitting on the throne knew you had a guild mastery, they'd probably be terrified, right?!

There was not much work in the clinic today, so Yan Miaoling came to the Manyiao Garment Shop as usual.
After changing into the clothes to be shown, she acted as a model at the door as usual.
This scene was seen by Tao Hong who was about to pay for the clothes and immediately whispered to the second lady Shen Jingqi...
Shen Jingqi looked out through the glazed door and immediately became angry. She pushed away the high-end ready-made clothes on the counter and said, "Boss, return it. I don't want this dress anymore!"
Yan Miaoling, who was outside the door, heard the sound of customers arguing. She looked closely and recognized the people. It was actually the second young lady Shen Jingqi and her maid Taohong.
Tao Hong was sharp-tongued and arrogant. She pointed at the shopkeeper and said, "Call your boss out! We want to return the goods!"
Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said, "Miss, we made this dress exactly according to your request. How can you just say you don't want it?"
Tao Hong pinched her waist, "Humph, if I had known earlier that your clothes were specially for maids, our young lady wouldn't have come to visit! If you don't want us to make a fuss, just return the goods immediately, or you will bring down our young lady's status!"
Such a commotion instantly attracted the attention of other ladies. Someone recognized Shen Jingqi and asked, "What happened to Shen's sister? Is there something wrong with the quality of this shop's clothes?"
Chen Jingqi pointed her finger outside with disdain, "Miss Li, Madam Wang, we've all been deceived! They said it was a ready-to-wear clothing store targeting high-end customers, but in the end, the one displaying the clothes at the door was actually our maid. Isn't that ridiculous? Oh, luckily I found out in time, otherwise if I went out wearing this to see the Crown Prince tomorrow, it would be so embarrassing! It's okay to embarrass myself, but I don't want His Royal Highness to misunderstand that I, Chen Jingqi, don't respect him."
On the one hand, this statement pointed out the low quality of the clothes at Manmiao Tailor Shop; on the other hand, it revealed his ambiguous relationship with the prince, hoping to make the surrounding noble ladies envious...
Kill two birds with one stone.
They were all upper-class people, so how could they not know each other's appearance? No one bothered to care, but they did mind the fact that the model at the door was a maid.
After all, everyone already knew who would do this for a woman of status. It's just that...this method of wearing it in advance to show them...is a good way to prevent them from making mistakes. So they tacitly agreed to buy it and make a reservation. But you said it so bluntly, saying we want to buy more, as if we've suddenly become the same level as the servants in your Shen Mansion.
Madam Wang was unwilling to accept it. After all, she liked the clothes, so she confirmed, "Is it really your maid?"
Taohong was impatient. "Mrs. Wang, I'm going to drag her in right now and confront her face to face. Please wait a moment!"
Yan Miaoling heard the conversation clearly and thought to herself, no matter what, this maid's identity cannot be acknowledged. Otherwise, who knows how many orders will be returned today.
The customer is God, and sometimes it is not something you can justify clearly just because you have a reason.
Especially in ancient times, if you emphasized to others that everyone is equal and that people should not care about their status, you would only be asking for trouble.
Yan Miaoling was not at all flustered. Facing Taohong's overbearing attitude, she followed in at a leisurely pace, bowed and knelt, "Ladies and ladies, Ling'er is here to greet you. May I ask what's going on?"
Miss Li saw that she was very beautiful and had a good temperament, so she became suspicious of her identity as a maid. She asked politely, "Excuse me, young lady, are you really a maid in the Shen Mansion?"
Yan Miaoling smiled confidently, "Who said that? Who is spreading rumors?" She pulled out her household registration card and said, "Please look, everyone, I am a free person. How can I be a servant in someone's house?"
Taohong refused to do so, "You are lying, you are clearly the young lady's maid!"
Yan Miaoling's smile became even brighter. "Haha, you're out of your mind, aren't you? I've been in and out of the Shen Mansion... and I've been staying with the eldest lady. Does that mean I must be her maid? We're sworn sisters, don't you know that?"
This was overheard by Shen Aoshan, who was curious about how she worked as a model in the clothing store and came to see her in person. She stepped forward and asked, "Sister Ling'er, what's wrong?"
