It is said that women in ancient times were conservative. When Jiang Yuzhu stepped into the shop, she saw the world again.
The shop was filled with hollowed-out bellybands as thin as cicada wings and underpants inlaid with gold and silver beads, which were extremely luxurious.
Facing such a grand occasion, Chen remained calm. She turned around and whispered to the female employee, "Send a set of every new item in the shop to Xie's residence."
Seeing a big customer coming, the waitress smiled attentively and said, "Mrs. Jiang, we have a new batch of men's clothes. Would you like to move over..."
"want!"
Chen interrupted the waitress with great certainty before she finished speaking.
Sexual intercourse between a couple does not necessarily have to be led by the man. If the man can wear half-covering clothes, it can also serve as an inducement.
Chen was already a regular customer. He went to another room with ease and bought a lot of things.
When Chen came out, Jiang Yuzhu was still shocked by the price of the hollow bellyband.
It's such a small piece that can't cover anything, and it doesn't cost any fabric at all, yet it costs ten taels of silver!
The price of the underpants inlaid with gold beads is even more outrageous, at least dozens of taels of silver.
Even if the selling point is privacy, it’s too expensive!
Sure enough, there is no shortage of wealthy and foolish customers in the capital. The higher the price, the more fat sheep there are to be slaughtered.
Jiang Yuzhu was very tempted and wanted to get involved in this profitable business.
Such a private shop can make a fortune quietly. Even if she provides a design and makes a special customization, it is rare for Xuan Yao from the jewelry shop to snatch her hairpin.
After all, it is a private transaction, so it needs to be concealed.
Jiang Yuzhu has a better idea: opening a private shop.
Male and female models are created using tree carvings, their outer skins polished smooth, and then clothes are put on them for a more intuitive display.
Chen came out from the inner room and saw Jiang Yuzhu still in a daze, so she pulled her to the private room to sit for a while.
Chen had been brewing some words for a long time, and she couldn't help but say them: "Yuzhu, when the late emperor granted you a marriage with Yuanhe, your father couldn't resist. For so many years, your mother and father have only felt sorry for you."
Chen knew very well that her daughter had feelings for Lu Yunxi.
Back then, the two families had the intention of getting married, but Chen Daya only wanted to suppress the Chen family, and her conditions were harsh.
"You've seen Chen Daya's character, how can she compare to your mother-in-law?"
The two sisters had been at odds since childhood. Mrs. Chen was very afraid that her spoiled daughter would marry into the Lu family, but Chen Daya was secretly trying to trip her up.
Although the marriage granted by the late emperor disrupted the Jiang family's plans, it also completely dispelled Chen's doubts in some ways.
"For many years, you and Yuanhe have been cold and distant, and your parents have always given in to you."
Chen said from the bottom of her heart that the daughter of the Jiang family, with her natal family as her backing, is not afraid of anything!
"Dad and Mom have always thought this way, but as an outsider, Mom still wants to remind you."
Chen stared at the chrysanthemum floating in the teacup, and after a while she continued, "Whether a woman lives a good life depends on her own temperament and whether her family can support her. But the one who truly lives her life behind closed doors is you. If you find the right husband, your life will be even better."
Chen was not worried that her daughter would be bullied. Seeing that the Xie family had been making efforts, she thought it was time for her daughter to express her views.
"Yuanhe has no concubines or maids, and is devoted to you. Your mother-in-law is understanding and considerate, and the brothers of the Xie family also respect you as their third sister-in-law. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?"
If you delay it for too long, it will only make people feel disappointed.
While there is a step forward now, hurry up and follow the trend to live a good life with Xie Zhao.
If Xie Zhao changed, as a daughter of the Jiang family, she would have the courage to escape unscathed.
"Yuzhu, think carefully about whether what mother said makes sense."
If a couple sleeps in separate rooms, their relationship will definitely not be as good as if they sleep in the same room.
Xie Zhao is busy with official duties and will not return home often, so Jiang Yuzhu has plenty of time left to do as she pleases.
"As for the Lu family, since we've already cut off all ties, we should stay as far away from them as possible."
Chen was worried her daughter would fall into trouble again, being deceived by Lu Yunxi's sweet words. She said earnestly, "If Lu Yunxi truly loved you, he wouldn't have come back to bother you after learning you'd been married for over three years. He can't even follow the most basic etiquette, so what's his intention in messing up your life?"
Rules are like a piece of paper for men, but like a mountain for women.
"Another one..."
Chen thought for a moment and felt that she shouldn't hide it anymore. "Lu Yunxi is not Chen Daya's son."
When Chen said this, Jiang Yuzhu's eyes widened and she asked, "Mom, is this true?"
In other words, Lu Yunxi has nothing to do with the Chen family. If Jiang Yuzhu knew about this relationship, she would not be polite in her actions.
Chen sighed softly, then nodded solemnly, "Really."
That year, Chen Daya accompanied Mr. Lu to the capital to take the imperial examination. She went into labor ahead of her due date.
Chen Daya gave birth to a stillborn baby, a daughter.
In order to maintain her position in the Lu family, Chen Daya asked her wet nurse, Chen Ma, to help her find a baby boy of the same age.
"At that time, the baby was placed by the river. His face was blue and purple, and judging by the swaddling clothes, he must have been rich or noble."
Nanny Chen was experienced. She picked up the baby and patted him vigorously, and the baby finally let out a weak cry.
Because of the coincidence, she replaced the daughter born by Chen Daya and announced to the public that Chen Daya gave birth to the legitimate grandson of the Lu family.
"This matter is a secret, only Chen Daya and the wet nurse know it."
Chen couldn't help but feel sad when she thought back to those days.
Originally, replacing her would not be a big deal, but Chen Daya was cruel and was always worried that the wet nurse would betray her and tell others.
"Madame Chen returned to Jiangnan and came to me for help. But before I could help, she was pulled out of the river."
The case was closed perfunctorily at the time. Nanny Chen was a servant and no one cared.
