Chapter 345 Hairpin



"What else?"

Yang Zhao glanced at him, his lips curled up slightly: "Could it be that the Pavilion Master wants to go and see him off in person?"

Mo Junran choked.

The eyes under the mask moved slightly, looking at Yang Zhao who seemed to be smiling. Somehow, he curled his lips and said, "It's not impossible. After all... Miss is our old customer. As long as you want, we at Dragon Phoenix Pavilion will do our best to satisfy you."

Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mo Junran.

"The Pavilion Master seems to have changed a lot." Where is the distance and coldness from before?

In fact, Yang Zhao could also do things without the help of people from the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion.

But now there are many people eyeing the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. In order to avoid subsequent troubles, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion has become the best choice.

What's more, she has reached a long-term cooperation with Longfeng Pavilion.

Gave all the money.

But she didn't expect that the person who would take action would be the head of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion.

Mo Junran raised his eyebrows when he heard Yang Zhao's words: "What has changed?"

"The previous Pavilion Master would never ask you this question."

Are you thinking he talks too much?

"The matter is settled. I will have someone send the money to the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion later. Please do as you wish, Pavilion Master." After saying this, Yang Zhao turned and walked to the other side of the alley.

"Wait."

Mo Junran called her.

Yang Zhao paused and turned to look at him in confusion.

"I want to order another batch of the goods I ordered last time." Mo Junran was referring to the dried meat and noodles.

It’s only been less than half a month since the previous shipment.

Are we going to order another batch now?

"We have a lot of people, and the last batch was not that big. If possible, I would like to order some more." Mo Junran said, taking out a box from his arms and handing it to Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao glanced at the box.

Finally, he reached out and took it.

Inside the box was a pile of sparkling crystals of various sizes, and besides that, there was also a seemingly inconspicuous hairpin.

It looks like a wooden hairpin, but it actually feels like cold iron when you hold it.

What's even more special is that the hairpin can be extended and stretched, and it is pointed and sharp. When the top of the hairpin is rotated, five silver needles can be shot out, which can be used as a hidden weapon.

Even Yang Zhao was amazed by this hairpin.

"This should be enough as a reward, right?" Mo Junran asked in a low voice.

The eyes beneath the mask are extremely deep.

Hearing this, Yang Zhao couldn't help but look up at Mo Junran: "Reward? Are you sure?"

She was indeed moved.

But she's not stupid either.

Not to mention the crystals, just this wooden hairpin is definitely not worth a lot of money. It might even be something that you can't buy even if you have money. She has never seen this level of forging before.

At least in her opinion, there is no demand for it.

Seeing how much she loved him, Mo Junran raised the corners of his mouth under his mask and said, "Of course."

"This hairpin doesn't look like an ordinary thing." Yang Zhao reminded.

Mo Junran smiled faintly and said, "So, I have one more condition."

"What conditions?"

"From now on, the price of the goods you sell to us at Longfeng Pavilion can be reduced by another 10% based on the original price," said Mo Junran.

On the original basis?

This is a very large range.

After all, isn’t the price increase of goods just a word from the seller?

Yang Zhao couldn't help but wonder if the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion Master really wasn't very good at business. However, he had some conditions, which actually made her feel relieved. She was afraid he wouldn't mention anything.

If that were the case, she would really be wary.

However, even if the price is reduced by another 10% from the lowest basic price, she can still make a profit, just a little less.

But worth it.

"make a deal."

Yang Zhao closed the wooden box and felt at ease.

Not long after.

Finally, someone entered the alley. The officials quickly arrived and saw the horrific corpse.

Later, the authorities found the Xu family jade pendant from Xu Xuan's body.

It was finally confirmed that the body was Xu Xuan, the sixth young master of the Xu family who had been on the run not long ago.

In prison.

When the third wife of the Xu family heard the news, she cried so hard that she fainted.

When Old Madam Xu heard this, her hand gripping the dragon-headed cane trembled violently. Although Xu Xuan wasn't her most beloved grandson, he was still her biological grandson after all.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

The nanny hurriedly supported Old Madam Xu, who was swaying slightly.

Madam Xu paused for a long moment before she murmured palely, "It's all my fault. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have protected him. I should have just broken his legs."

Xu Xuan's playboy status didn't happen overnight.

There have been incidents before.

Although Old Lady Xu punished him, she felt sorry for her grandson, so in the end she only gave him a light punishment and let it go.

Because of this, she broke up with her sister.

Because the girl who was molested by Xu Xuan in the street and caused to commit suicide was the daughter of the manager of the farm in her sister-in-law's hometown.

A civilian.

Her sister, however, stood up for a commoner and scolded her, even wanting to send Xu Xuan to the authorities. Although Old Madam Xu was angry that Xu Xuan had done such a thing, she still protected her.

After all, in her eyes, the girl was just a lowly commoner.

And it wasn't Xu Xuan who killed him personally.

So at that time, Old Madam Xu protected Xu Xuan and used the power of the Xu family to suppress the impact of the incident. The people below also turned the tables and made the girl bear the false accusation that she committed suicide out of shame and anger after failing to seduce a powerful young man.

Because of this incident, the manager's wife was killed in front of the Xu family's gate.

When her sister learned about this, she angrily brought people to her house and slapped her. She also had Xu Xuan beaten half to death and wanted to forcibly send Xu Xuan to the authorities. In the end, it was Empress Xu who stepped in and with the strong suppression of the Xu family, the matter was completely resolved.

However, because of this incident, the two sisters, who had a good relationship, broke up.

There has been no contact for several years.

What Madam Xu didn't expect was that she would see her sister again when she was in the most embarrassing situation.

The jailer opened the outer door of the cell.

Smiling, he personally led the person to the door of Madam Xu's cell: "Madam, everyone is here. Please make your own way. We are right outside. If you need anything, just give us a shout."

The nanny beside Mrs. Lu stuffed a bag of silver into the jailer's hand.

The jailer immediately bowed and left.

Only then did Old Lady Lu take off the brim of her cloak and, through the cell door, looked coldly at Old Lady Xu, who was sitting on the wooden bed in the corner and looked much older.

“Tsk!”

Madam Lu tutted her words, her tone tinged with gloating, "I never thought that one day I would see you become like this. It's truly a relief."

Old Madam Xu's expression froze.

The hand holding the dragon head crutch unconsciously clenched tightly.

Looking through the prison door at Madam Lu, who hadn't changed much in the past few years, it would be a lie for Madam Xu to say that she didn't feel any bitterness in her heart.
