On the other side, Yanyang Kingdom
Ye Wanqing has completely adapted to life in Shenxu, and her relationship with A Rao and Murong Yan has become harmonious.
Ah Rao was simple-minded, not greedy for money, not gossipy, and had no bad habits, so she couldn't be bribed. Wearing women's clothing was basically out of the question, and if she wanted to take off her corset to relax, she could only do so at night under the pretext of martial arts training.
But she seemed to enjoy watching him practice martial arts, and sometimes she would come up to teach him a few moves.
She said, "The Marquis will be back soon. If he sees your martial arts skills, he will probably be very pleased..."
But she then said that he must not see it.
Ye Wanqing shook her head in confusion. The people in the Marquis' Mansion were really contradictory.
Specify what serious illness you have.
However, she was still looking forward to meeting the Marquis of Tingnan. She heard that this god of war was handsome, had great martial arts skills, and had never been defeated in hundreds of battles.
He has countless admirers, and military commanders all say that it would be worth dying on the battlefield in this life to be able to fight a battle with Lord Chen of the Southern Territory.
But when they saw Shen Xu, they all shook their heads in regret, saying that Tingnan Hou was a hero in his lifetime, but his spirit was completely broken by this shameful son.
What's more, some people even speculated directly about the reason why Marquis Tingnan divorced his wife, saying that he must have been cheated on by his wife when he was fighting outside.
For a time, she became the laughing stock of the capital, until Concubine Shen promoted her to the Empress of the West Palace, and no one dared to talk about it anymore.
Ye Wanqing also felt sorry for Lord Shen before. Wasn't Shen Xu's behavior so embarrassing?
After the class at the Imperial Archery Pavilion, Ye Wanqing patted the dirt off her clothes amid everyone's laughter.
She got C again, and this time her dad didn't even come to make trouble.
This troublesome fake breast, really...
Now it seems that Chen Xu is somewhat helpless.
She didn't dare to speak or ask about the issue of not being able to wear women's clothes. She sat in a corner, watching the young men practice with spears and sticks, learning to use various weapons from her father.
Murong Yan did not come to class. He usually assisted with some government affairs and did not attend many classes with the young masters.
Ye Xueruo sat next to Ye Wanqing and called her "Brother Xu" in a tender voice.
She exchanged a few fake pleasantries, then asked, "Brother Xu, have you reconciled with Sister Lin?"
"Well……"
"I guess Sister Lin's Snow Skin Jade Cream is almost gone. Hasn't she reconciled with you yet?"
Ye Wanqing immediately understood what she meant. Ye Xueruo came to ask for money.
This time, she wanted to see what Ye Xueruo was up to.
"Well, Sister Lin and I have reconciled. I was just thinking of coming to you to help me pick out some expensive gifts for her." She took out a silver note, which was worth more than one hundred taels.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xueruo immediately smiled and said, "Brother Xu is really caring. I really envy Sister Lin. She must be so happy to receive such a gift!"
Then, she said a lot of compliments, which was very shameful and awkward. The more Ye Wanqing listened, the more she felt that Miss Lin was really ungrateful.
"Then buy two boxes of Yuji Cream, two tubes of Yuyanzhai lip balm that I brought last time, and the Jin Buyao with Kingfisher Feathers and Flowers from Zhenbaofang. She said she likes it." Ye Wanqing simply told her all the things that A Rao had confiscated last time.
Ye Xueruo's face became increasingly worse. She spread her hands and said, "Brother Xu, this money is not enough! Just buying two boxes of Jade Muscle Cream would cost almost a hundred taels. Everything else is not cheap either. This little money is not enough. Give me another four hundred taels."
Ye Wanqing was surprised and said, "You sold me two boxes of Jade Skin Cream for a hundred taels!"
She knew that Ye Xueruo was mean, but she didn't expect her to be so mean. The total amount of these things was obviously less than eighty taels, but she asked for five hundred taels!
Earning four hundred and twenty taels with tears and blood! More than her father earned in a year teaching archery.
Is it so easy to cheat Chen Xu out of his money?
"Brother Xu~" Ye Xueruo shook her arm and said coquettishly, "You don't know, the prices of perfumes and cosmetics have increased now. The Jade Skin Cream is a hot seller. I have to queue for a long time before I can buy it. I have to earn some money for running errands myself."
"Brother Xu, you never asked about the price of these things before. Did someone tell you something?"
Ye Xueruo hesitated for a moment, then quickly explained, "Don't listen to what others say. Cheap goods don't always come in good quality. There are a lot of imitations on the market now, and they look very similar."
"I promise that what I buy for you is absolutely the best. Sister Lin has been using it all the time and she must know that it's expensive for a reason."
Ye Wanqing was determined to find evidence that she had hired a killer. If she didn't expose her tracks quickly, it would probably take a long time.
She thought for a moment and gave Ye Xueruo two silver notes worth one hundred taels each.
Seeing this, Ye Xueruo seemed a little dissatisfied. She took out the silver note with a wronged look and declined, "Brother Xu, don't you think you don't believe me anymore? Well, then I won't have to work so hard in the future."
"Okay, then I'll find someone else to help me choose." Ye Wanqing looked at her pretentious appearance and didn't indulge her. She pretended to sigh and reached out to take back the banknote.
Ye Xueruo hurriedly folded up the money, including the two hundred taels in her hand, and said, "Hey, other people's eyes are not as accurate as mine. If you buy a fake and ruin Sister Lin's face, it will not be worth it. I'll buy it for you right now. Go talk to the boss and see if he can give me the previous price. If it's not enough, I'll come back to ask for it again."
As she spoke, she quickly put the banknotes in Ye Wanqing's hand into her arms.
Ye Wanqing urged, "Then hurry up and buy it. It will take some time to send it to the northwest."
"Okay, I know. I won't let Sister Lin wait too long." Ye Xueruo seemed a little dissatisfied with the fact that she got less banknotes this time. She was too lazy to be polite with her and stood up and left.
Ye Wanqing stared at her back with a dark look, as if thinking about something.
In this way, she earned more than two hundred taels. Could it be that she had other targets to kill?
We must keep a close eye on her and not let her take the money and harm others!
Ye Wanqing thought about it, immediately left the Imperial Shooting Pavilion and quickly followed.
Ye Xueruo went straight back to the general's mansion, sneakily took a bag full of things and went to the pawnshop.
Ye Wanqing stood far away and saw her quickly come out of the pawnshop with a bag of silver. The bag was bulging, and it looked like there were dozens of taels of silver in it.
She didn't wander around with the silver, but went straight to a money shop and deposited all the silver and the banknotes she had just received into a household registration card.
After coming out, Ye Wanrou walked towards a restaurant again, looking back vigilantly to see if there was anyone behind her.
Ye Wanqing's heart was pounding. Was Ye Xueruo going to make a deal with someone?
She hurriedly followed and saw Ye Xueruo holding the name card and entering the private room of the restaurant. The door was quickly closed.
Ye Wanqing was worried about alerting the enemy, so she had to sit down in the room opposite the private room, ordered a table of food and wine, and kept her eyes on the situation opposite with the door open.
After a while, three young women, chatting and laughing, surrounded a man in his forties and entered the private room. Ye Xueruo also came out to greet them. Her flattering look was exactly the same as when she asked Chen Xu for money.
