Song Ning was speechless. She had only said one sentence, and Song Ning had already imagined so much.
She likes Xie Linzhou, but instead of focusing on him, she comes here to cause trouble. Is she crazy?
"Miss Mu, if you want to marry into the Duke's mansion, go directly to General Xie. It's no use coming to me. Even if I can make General Xie like you, do you think he will listen to me?"
"Besides, General Xie's marriage is not something I can decide. Don't you think Miss Mu has chosen the wrong person?"
If the Xie family agrees, let alone becoming their official wife, she could even become their ancestor and no one could interfere.
Mu Xueyun thought Song Ning was just a wild girl from the countryside who posed no threat to her, but she never expected her to be so eloquent.
It seems she really underestimated her.
Mu Xueyun was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth. Didn't she know she should work on Xie Linzhou and Princess Jianing?
The key issue is that she can't even see either of them.
She had seen Xie Linzhou once before at a banquet. She tried so hard to get Xie Linzhou to see her, but Xie Linzhou called a doctor for her, saying that she had an eye disease.
There was no rush before because Xie Linzhou didn't like anyone, but things are different now. Xie Linzhou has someone he likes, so everyone has hope.
She glared at Song Ning, thinking, "How can such a vulgar person compare to her?"
Mu Xueyun was born into a noble family. She learned to read and write from a young age and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was a famous talented woman in the capital.
Her grandfather was the Grand Tutor of the court, her father was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and her mother was a princess. Any one of these qualities was better than Song Ning's.
She couldn't understand where she had lost to Song Ning.
Xie Linzhou looked down on her, but fell for this country girl. Wasn't that a slap in her face?
She came today to give Song Ning a hard time, but she didn't expect him to be so tough and not afraid of her at all.
"Since Miss Song has already said this much, then we have nothing more to say. However, if I become Xie Linzhou's wife in the future, you can forget about ever entering the Duke's mansion again."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and left with a cold face.
Song Ning did not get up, thinking that this Miss Mu was even more insane than Xie Linzhou.
Should I learn from her?
Xie Linzhou doesn't even like her, so how can she be so confident that she can enter the Duke's mansion?
Princess Jianing would never like a daughter-in-law like that.
"Xiao Cui".
"Hey, what are your orders, Master?"
"If anyone comes to visit again, just say I'm sick, seriously ill, the kind of sick I can't get out of bed."
"Don't worry, boss. You can rest well. I will make sure they don't bother you."
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned back and asked, "Master, what if... General Xie comes?"
"not see!"
"Okay."
Xie Linzhou is the culprit. He went out to live a peaceful life, but he caused her so much trouble.
He's a jinx.
From that day on, Song Ning stopped coming to Xiangyun Tower and spent his days lying around at home like a corpse.
Liu Yuelan was worried that her daughter would get sick from being bored, so she wanted to take her out for a stroll.
Since she was idle anyway, and Song Ning hadn't had much time to go out before, she decided to keep her mother company and help her relax.
Early that morning, Song Ning and Liu Yuelan went out and visited many shops, including a clothing store.
She also wants to open a clothing store in the future, so she went in to take a look today since she was passing by.
The cost of living in the capital is high, and this isn't even a very high-end shop; a single outfit can cost several ounces.
Upon hearing the price, Liu Yuelan frowned immediately: "Oh my, no wonder they say land in the capital is so expensive. Look at this, even this clothing is so pricey. I don't see much fabric, so why is it so expensive? This outfit is enough to cover our expenses for a year when we were in Tianxiang County."
"These are summer clothes. Now that the weather has cooled down, they're cheaper."
Song Ning felt that the styles of those clothes were still too outdated.
The nobles in the capital all hired professional tailors to make their clothes. These tailors spent their days figuring out how to make their masters' clothes more beautiful and with more novel designs.
These outside are for people who have some money but no social status or position.
If she opens a shop in the future, she can use the cloth made by Yu Niangzi to make clothes, and draw some patterns on them. They will definitely be better than the ones in the shop just now.
After turning a corner, the two happened to pass by Fangcaoxuan, a place that was always packed.
It's frequented by young ladies and wives, and it's incredibly popular in the capital these days.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Song Ning hadn't been here for a while. The shop was basically managed by people sent by Jiang Shuyue. She only needed to provide the goods, and she didn't need to worry about the rest.
There were quite a few people upstairs and downstairs, and as soon as she entered, the shopkeeper recognized her.
"Master, what brings you here?"
"I was just passing by and came in to take a look. You can go about your business and don't worry about me."
"Yes, if you need anything, just let me know."
This was Liu Yuelan's first time entering Fangcaoxuan. As soon as she entered, she smiled and exclaimed, "Oh my, this place is so beautiful!"
Song Ning smiled and said, "That's right. This place was arranged by Sister Jiang. Everything used is the best. Look at this counter, it's made of the finest nanmu wood."
There are also display cases, all made by specially commissioned craftsmen with mother-of-pearl inlay.
Actually, the cheapest items in the whole shop are her products, and by placing them here, their value is inflated.
"Wow, that's really amazing."
Upon hearing Song Ning's words, Liu Yuelan stood in front of the platform and carefully examined the object.
Song Ning chuckled, and as soon as she turned around, she bumped into two women.
"Excuse me, are you alright?" Song Ning quickly apologized.
The two women dusted off their clothes with disdain and glared at Song Ning: "How do you walk like that? These clothes are expensive."
"I'm so sorry, I really apologize."
Liu Yuelan was standing right next to her. She turned around and looked over, then paused in surprise.
The two women opposite were also taken aback when they saw Liu Yuelan. They exchanged glances and assumed that Liu Yuelan had come with them, so they immediately gave her a cold look.
"What bad luck!" One of the women glared at Liu Yuelan.
Another woman looked up and said, "I say, Yue Niang, even if you can't come back to the Xu family, you can't follow us. It's no use following us."
As you know, this is the current situation of the Xu family. We sympathize with your plight, but there's really nothing we can do to help.
Liu Yuelan looked unwell. Upon hearing this, Song Ning immediately understood that these were the two wives of the Xu family.
Did she think her mother was following them to get back to the Xu family?
Madam Xu looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, quickly said, "This is not a place for you. You should leave now."
Song Ning has recently encountered some truly outrageous things, which has broadened her horizons, and she immediately lost her good attitude.
"Hey ladies, my mother and I are just browsing the shops, what's it to you? Who are you, scurrying around like a dog? Have you eaten shit? Your mouth stinks. This capital is so big, who does your Xu family think you are!"
