This is the first time that Yun Yiyi has come to Kyoto since he was born. Compared with the quiet and leisurely Sucheng, the prosperity and bustle of Kyoto is another kind of scenery!
Especially since Yun Yiyi was only a thirteen-year-old child at this time, ever since he saw the hustle and bustle of the streets of Kyoto in the carriage, Yun Yiyi always wanted to go out and have a real trip!
The old lady has always doted on this granddaughter who has been with her since she was a child. Coincidentally, Yun Qianmeng also said today that she wanted to take Yun Yiyi to the best "Fuguitang" in Kyoto to buy her a few sets of jewelry. Seeing Yun Yiyi's excited face after hearing the news, the old lady smiled and nodded, and asked the maids and old women to follow behind and serve her well, and then she happily let the two sisters go!
Ever since Yun Yiyi left the Prime Minister's Residence, her big eyes hadn't been idle. From time to time, she would lift the carriage curtain and stare outside. Her little mouth was also not idle. She pulled Yun Qianmeng, who was sitting beside her, to chat, "Sister, sister, look, look, that sugar figure is so beautiful. What kind of pattern is that? It's so complicated yet so dazzling!"
Yun Qianmeng saw the little girl chirping like a sparrow, so she looked sideways curiously outside the cart. On the left side of the street, a vendor inserted a freshly made sugar figure on the wooden board of his cart. Under the bright sunshine, the sugar figure emitted an orange light. Yun Qianmeng looked carefully at the pattern and found it was a dragon and phoenix totem. She couldn't help but look up to the vendor's craftsmanship!
"Little sister, sit tight and be careful, don't fall!" Yun Qianmeng looked away and saw that Yun Yiyi had already opened the curtain of the carriage, and her little head was already sticking out of the carriage. She couldn't help but sweat for her dangerous action, and asked Mu Chun to pull her into the carriage and lower the curtain!
"Sisters, Kyoto is so nice, there are so many interesting things! Yiyi envies you sisters the most!" Yun Yiyi saw the curtains were lowered again, and the not-so-bright light in the carriage obscured her yearning for life in Kyoto, but her tone was full of envy for her three cousins!
Seeing her like this, Yun Qianmeng raised her eyebrows slightly. She had some understanding of Yun Yiyi's character, so she smiled and said, "Grandmother brought my sister here this time because she wanted to raise her by her side. When she reaches the age of marriage, I will choose a suitable son-in-law for you from among the nobles in Kyoto!"
Yun Yiyi didn't notice Yun Qianmeng's expression. She lowered her head and thought about what Yun Qianmeng had just said. She felt extremely sweet in her heart!
Before going out, her father and mother called her into the room and told her to get along well with her elder sister. This was directly related to the status of her future husband's family, and her husband's family would have a direct impact on her two brothers. Therefore, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, apart from the old lady, Yun Yiyi's first person to curry favor with was Yun Qianmeng. In front of Yun Qianmeng, she always looked innocent. She also knew that her elder sister must like her like this, otherwise she would not take her out to buy jewelry in person!
Yun Qianmeng listened to Yun Yiyi's words, the smile on her face remained unchanged, but the serious look in her eyes turned a little colder!
The last time I saw Yun Yiyi in Sucheng, I felt that her smile was innocent and her eyes were clear and bright. She looked like a young lady who had been raised in seclusion and was ignorant of the world!
But when I saw her again after a few days, the clarity in her eyes was gone, replaced by the scheming unique to women in the inner house. I guess her uncle and aunt must have instilled in her the idea of fighting for power and profit during this period!
However, such a change happened in just a few days, which shows that Yun Yiyi still has vain thoughts in her subconscious!
However, as long as she doesn't fall into his hands, even if she turns the Prime Minister's Mansion upside down, he won't even blink an eye!
Just when Yun Qianmeng's mind was turning over and over, Yun Yiyi had already sat down beside her. She stretched out her hands, hugged Yun Qianmeng's arms intimately, and leaned her head slightly on Yun Qianmeng's shoulder. She said coquettishly, "Yiyi knows in her heart that big sister loves Yiyi the most in the Prime Minister's Mansion, except for grandma!"
Yun Qianmeng was not used to close contact with others due to her previous job. Yun Yiyi went to such lengths to show her feelings. A hint of coldness suddenly flashed across her warm and gentle eyes. She pulled her arm out of her arms without a trace, then tapped her nose and said lovingly, "Little naughty girl, if big sister doesn't love you, who will she love?"
But Yun Yiyi didn't smile when she heard this. Instead, she wrinkled her nose and said with some disappointment, "Third sister is also a gentle and generous woman, but it's the second sister who is difficult to get along with! But the eldest sister still loves her so much, and even gave her the imperial cream! Yiyi is just standing up for the eldest sister. The second sister treated the eldest sister so badly in the past, why are you still so considerate to her?"
From beginning to end, the smile on Yun Qianmeng's face never diminished at all. Even after Yun Yiyi finished speaking these words, she was still just looking at Yun Yiyi, who had not yet reached the age of marriage, with a smile in her eyes!
I'm afraid that the things and words that Yun Yiyi said were instructed by someone behind the scenes!
Otherwise, how could Yun Yiyi know so much about the inner court when she had only been in the Prime Minister's Residence for a few days?
I’m afraid the old lady won’t be able to figure it out after she goes back, so she’ll ask me through Yun Yiyi!
Speaking of that old lady, she is really suspicious. She is so afraid that I will join forces with Su Qing to deal with her!
Did she know that if she wanted to deal with her, how could she agree to Yun Xuanzhi traveling thousands of miles to bring her back to the Prime Minister's Residence? Such a superfluous thing would definitely not be wasted on Yun Qianmeng, who valued efficiency!
Yun Yiyi's heart was pounding as Yun Qianmeng stared at her. Although Yun Qianmeng was smiling and her eyes were warm, Yun Yiyi felt an invisible pressure coming down on her, making it hard for her to breathe. She could only force herself to put on a smile and asked cautiously, "Sister, did Yiyi say something wrong to upset you?"
Seeing her frightened look, Yun Qianmeng smiled more gently and said lightly, "Sister, of course you said the wrong thing! Even teeth and tongues can sometimes fight! Not to mention people! Second sister has always been straightforward, and sometimes it's not uncommon for sisters to bump into each other while playing! However, if I ignore the lifelong happiness of second sister because of these trivial matters, I, as the eldest sister, would be derelict in my duty! Fourth sister has only been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a short time, and I'm afraid she hasn't figured out how we sisters get along! But fourth sister, please remember one thing, that is, don't listen to the discussions of the servants! These rumors are most likely true. If you told that to grandmother today, I'm sure she would be angry!"
After she finished speaking, the smile on Yun Qianmeng's face faded a little. She glanced at Yun Yiyi beside her with a slightly cold look and stopped talking!
Yun Yiyi's face turned red after hearing Yun Qianmeng's soft yet sharp words, and she felt a little resentful towards her grandmother in her heart!
If my grandmother hadn't pulled me aside to teach me these words last night, why would I have blushed in front of my elder sister?
I'm afraid that in Yun Yiyi's heart at this moment, the old lady has become her stepping stone to successfully enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Yun Qianmeng is the one who can bring her wealth. She is very respectful to Yun Qianmeng!
However, although Yun Qianmeng didn't care much about the tricks played by the old lady, Mu Chun, who was lowering his head in the carriage, clenched his fists and felt really indignant for Yun Qianmeng in his heart!
Seeing Mu Chun like this, Yun Qianmeng's eyes showed a hint of real warmth. When Yun Yiyi lowered her head to reflect, Yun Qianmeng reached out a hand, gently pressed her hand through Mu Chun's sleeve, and signaled her to relax, saying that she was not hurt by these people!
Mu Chun raised his head slightly and saw that Yun Qianmeng had withdrawn her hand and was sitting upright in the car. Although Yun Qianmeng's face was calm at this time, Mu Chun felt warm in his heart!
The carriage gradually slowed down, and after it stopped, the maid outside cautiously called out, "Miss Eldest, Miss Fourth, we've arrived at 'Fugui Hall'!"
When Mu Chun heard the voice of the old woman, she asked Yun Yiyi's personal maid Yin'er to lift the curtain at the same time, and then helped Yun Qianmeng get out of the carriage first, and then helped Yun Yiyi out of the carriage!
The Yun family is also a top-notch wealthy family in Su City. The various rules in the family are no less than those of the big clans in Kyoto. As a young lady of the Yun family, Yun Yiyi has been knowledgeable since she was a child!
But at this moment, when Yun Yiyi stood in front of the main gate of "Fugui Hall", she realized that she was just a frog in the well. This "Fugui Hall" was the real place of wealth and prosperity. Even each stone lion was carved with fine white jade!
The words on the black plaque above her head were actually written by the late emperor. Under the three characters "Fuguitang" written in a flamboyant style was the late emperor's seal, which showed that the people here were either rich or noble, and declared that the nobility of this place was unattainable. It immediately shattered Yun Yiyi's sense of superiority at home, and she could only stand blankly on the bustling street without realizing it!
Yun Qianmeng had already expected Yun Yiyi to be shocked by the 'Wealthy Hall', but she did not try to comfort her wounded heart. She just moved slightly closer to Yun Yiyi, gently nudged her like a puppet, and whispered softly, "Sister, what's wrong? Why don't you go in?"
As she spoke, Yun Qianmeng, supported by Mu Chun, walked gracefully into the 'Fugui Hall'!
Yun Yiyi was reminded that seeing Yun Qianmeng again was so elegant and dignified. Her every move was as tranquil and noble as a landscape painting. Yun Yiyi couldn't help but want to have all of it!
Following Yun Qianmeng's example, he placed his hand on Yin'er's arm and walked into the 'Wealth Hall' with pauses!
All of this was seen by a man working in the restaurant across the street. He held a smooth, round South Sea pearl in one hand, his eyes fixed on the two figures who had just entered the "Wealthy Hall" with a scrutinizing gaze. He sighed, "What a fool! A little brat trying to imitate the manners of a lady from a noble family! It's truly laughable!"
The middle-aged man standing quietly behind the man saw his master start nagging again. He looked at the South China Sea pearl that was being played with with some concern and whispered a reminder, "Master, you should change the things back! The things have been discovered..."
"What if he was discovered? Can that guy still eat me? I asked him to come and choose a wife with good intentions, but that brat stood me up. Now I should be careful. I will beat him up every time I see him in the future!" The man shouted arrogantly before his subordinates could finish their words!
However, despite saying this, he still carefully placed the South Sea pearl into a brocade box, and then handed it to his subordinates behind him for safekeeping!
When the middle-aged man thought his master was going back home, he suddenly held his cheek with his hand, stared at the door of the "Wealthy Hall", and muttered to himself, "Jiao Da, which one do you think is better? If it were you, which one would you like?"
Although he didn't say what he meant, the middle-aged man named Jiao Da's face turned red. He silently took three steps back and pretended not to hear it!
If the scenery at the door just now opened Yun Yiyi's eyes, then the lobby of "Fugui Hall" now really shocked her body and mind!
Although this place is called "Fugui Hall", it does not look tacky at all. The lobby is elegantly decorated and shows exquisiteness everywhere. The jewelry that are classified and placed on the table exude their own brilliance!
However, these gold, silver and jade jewellery gathered together in the lobby seem to blend together in an unusual way, which is completely different from the rule in ordinary jewellery stores that gold and jade cannot be placed together!
Yun Yiyi carefully looked at the spacious lobby in front of him, and excitement, greed and ambition gradually appeared in his eyes!
Yun Qianmeng saw everything, but just sneered in her heart!
Since the old lady was so wary of her, she shouldn't blame her for being so ruthless as to destroy her most beloved granddaughter!
At least, he should give some of the attention that the old lady paid to him to Yun Yiyi!
At this moment, the shopkeeper of 'Fuguitang' was hurriedly running down from the third floor. Seeing Yun Qianmeng, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Miss!"
Yun Qianmeng saw Shopkeeper Meng, nodded slightly, and asked, "Is everything ready?"
Shopkeeper Meng heard Yun Qianmeng's voice for the first time. Although Yun Qianmeng was wearing a veil that obscured her face, her voice was clear and light, yet it carried a hint of respect. This made Shopkeeper Meng, who had seen countless people, feel a slight jolt in his heart. He then said respectfully, "As the young lady instructed, I have already left Pinyuxuan to you. I will personally deliver the jewelry you've chosen to you in a moment!"
Yun Yiyi listened to the conversation between the two and asked in confusion, "Big sister, what's wrong?"
When Shopkeeper Meng heard a childish voice, he glanced sideways and saw Yun Yiyi pulling Yun Qianmeng to ask questions. He immediately gave her a score in his mind. He was afraid that this young lady was not yet able to support the jewelry made by his own shop!
Yun Qianmeng's eyes behind the veil noticed Manager Meng's gaze, and then looked at Yun Yiyi!
Yun Yiyi had never worn a gauze hat because she had not yet reached the age of marriage. At this moment, she asked herself many questions with sweet words, and the yearning for a rich life in her eyes became stronger and stronger!
"Thank you for leading the way!" Yun Qianmeng did not explain all this. She just said a few polite words and followed the shopkeeper Meng up to the third floor!
However, as soon as I reached the third floor, I heard exclamations coming from the Peony Pavilion!
"Little sister, you are worthy of this jade. Your arms are white and delicate, like lotus roots, and are most suitable for the emerald green jade!"
"In my opinion, our princess is more suitable for this golden hairpin. Tian'er is a daughter of a noble family, and she is worthy of this phoenix-looking golden hairpin!"
"I think both of you sisters-in-law have such vulgar tastes. Tian'er is so beautiful, why does she need any embellishment? Even with a simple bun, she's already stunning!"
Word after word, she praised the silent person to the skies, causing a flicker of jealousy in Yun Yiyi's eyes. Suddenly, she leaned closer to Yun Qianmeng and whispered, "Yiyi actually thinks big sister is unparalleled in the world!"
Yun Qianmeng saw that there was a shopkeeper Meng in front of him, and he felt a little angry at Yun Yiyi's recklessness. If someone heard it, he would have made an enemy for nothing!
He retorted in a slightly cold voice, "Don't talk nonsense! You've only met a few people, and you're already boasting like this. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, won't you make enemies for the Prime Minister's Mansion? Besides, there are always people better than you, and there are always beauties beyond measure. When will it be my turn? Don't make such outrageous statements next time!"
Yun Yiyi didn't want her flattery to backfire, and Yun Qianmeng scolded her harshly in front of the saint, which made her feel a little angry!
However, she thought about it again, as she was living under someone else's roof, and the Xiang Mansion was really her shield. If this kind of thing put the Xiang Mansion in danger, it would be really unprofitable. She quickly bowed her head and admitted her fault, "Sister, you are right! It was my recklessness!"
Yun Qianmeng had already guessed the other party's identity from the few words she had just heard!
The only person who can please three sisters-in-law so much and is also a princess with the maiden name Tian'er, is probably Princess Hai Tian, who is in charge of half of the household affairs in the Sea Palace!
A woman who can make sisters-in-law of the same noble status bow down to her and try to please her, this Hai Tian is a bit hungry, not only has the means, but also has a first-class brain!
The Palace of the Sea King was the home of one of the heroes who helped our ancestors conquer the world. The Sea King was also a hospitable man, and he kept countless talented people in the palace!
Hai Tian, a weak woman, was personally appointed by the Sea King to be the manager of the palace. This ability is not something that an ordinary woman can do!
It is said that there was originally a Princess Lin in the Sea King's Palace who was comparable to her, but she was forced to marry off early by Hai Tian's scheme. It can be seen that Hai Tian is not a broad-minded person!
If the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Sea King's Mansion were to come into conflict because of a matter of appearance, I'm afraid the Prime Minister's Mansion would not gain any advantage!
This is the most important reason why Yun Qianmeng looked down on Yun Yiyi since birth!
The shopkeeper Meng in front listened to the conversation between the two sisters word for word, and couldn't help but look at this eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion with new respect!
Which other woman would not smile happily when hearing others’ praise?
Only Yun Qianmeng in front of him knew the true meaning of showing off one's talents!
However, in the eyes of Shopkeeper Meng, this young lady must be a peerless woman, not only in appearance, but also in her talent and that exquisite mind!
I wonder who is better, this intriguing young lady or Princess Hai Tian in the Peony Pavilion!
"Miss, we're here at Pinyuxuan! I'll go get ready right away!" Shopkeeper Meng welcomed Yun Qianmeng into Pinyuxuan, then slowly retreated!
As soon as the door of Pinyuxuan was closed, Yun Yiyi's eyes became active. She quickly raised her eyes and scanned the entire Pinyuxuan. Her little hands touched everywhere curiously, as if she would only feel at ease after touching everything!
Yun Qianmeng sat at the table, holding the tea served by Mu Chun and drinking it carefully, but in her heart she was calculating the time when Su Qing would surrender to her!
After enough of the viewing, Yun Yiyi sat down beside Yun Qianmeng, feeling a little tired. After drinking a cup of tea, she opened her eyes wide and asked curiously, "Big sister, I wonder what the price is for this shop?"
Yun Qianmeng put her thoughts aside and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry about the money! As long as it's something you like, I'll buy it for you!"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng being so generous, Yun Yiyi's eyes immediately filled with gratitude. However, she was not a stupid person. Although Yun Qianmeng did not tell her the bottom line, Yun Yiyi knew that she should not go too far the first time, otherwise there would be no chance next time!
At this moment, Yun Yiyi saw Yun Qianmeng drinking tea elegantly, and was envious in her heart. Although she was curious about what kind of jewelry Yun Qianmeng had prepared for her, she still controlled her temper, followed her example, slowly picked up the teacup, and took a sip carefully!
At this time, there was a polite knock on the door. After Mu Chun asked who was coming, she opened the wooden door and saw Manager Meng walking in with eight maids. Each of the maids was holding a tray with boxes of different materials on it. However, the lids of the wooden boxes were closed, so people could not see the jewelry inside. This made Yun Yiyi feel anxious as if she had been scratched by a kitten!
Eight maids lined up in a row. Shopkeeper Meng stepped forward and said with a smile, "Miss, this is what you ordered. Please take a look!"
After saying this, Manager Meng walked over to the first maid and opened the box made of top-grade topaz. A lustrous luster slowly emanated from it...
Yun Yiyi couldn't wait to see those treasures, but Yun Qianmeng stood up slowly and walked towards the box at a leisurely pace. Although Yun Yiyi was extremely anxious, he could only follow her and walk forward slowly!
"Yiyi, come and take a look. Do you like this complete set of head ornaments?" Yun Qianmeng affectionately took Yun Yiyi's hand, pointing to the complete set of jewelry made of topaz and inlaid with pearls, and gently asked Yun Yiyi who was already stunned!
Yun Yiyi looked at the exquisite, noble, elegant, beautiful and novel jewelry inside and nodded vigorously!
Yun Qianmeng smiled faintly, then pulled her to the second rosewood box. This time, the boxes that were opened were stacked, and all the jewelry a woman needed, from small earrings to large hairpins, could be found in this box. The dazzling light was so bright that it dazzled Yun Yiyi's eyes!
Seeing this, Yun Qianmeng didn't make any statement. Instead, she pulled her down and slowly looked down until she saw the last set. Then she let go of Yun Yiyi's hand and asked with a faint smile, "Sister prepared all these. I wonder which one you like?"
Hearing Yun Qianmeng's question, Yun Yiyi wanted to open his mouth and say that he liked them all!
But she also knew that these jewelry sets would be very valuable, not to mention all eight sets. Even if she only wanted one earring from one set, it would be very valuable. But she liked them all. She would feel bad if she gave up one piece, and regretful if she gave up that set. Her big eyes kept turning around the eight boxes, and she couldn't make a decision for a long time!
Seeing Yun Yiyi so hesitant to make a decision, Yun Qianmeng knew that Yun Yiyi must be greedy and wanted everything. The smile on her lips gradually faded, and she spoke for her, "Sister, I think the last set is most suitable for you! You are still young, and the brightly colored and cute jewelry set is most suitable for you!"
After hearing Yun Qianmeng's opinion, Yun Yiyi quickly walked over to the set of jewelry, took each piece in her hand, and put it on. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw that she had become more beautiful. The smile in her eyes became even brighter. She smiled and replied, "Big sister, you still have good taste! I couldn't choose for a long time, but you have a unique eye!"
However, deep disappointment still flashed across those eyes that were full of smiles!
Yun Yiyi couldn't help but think to herself, how nice it would be if all these were given to her!
Yun Qianmeng had already guessed her thoughts, but some people cannot be indulged, otherwise their appetites will only grow bigger and bigger, and one day they will commit murder and robbery for their own selfish desires!
Yun Qianmeng stood up and said calmly, "In that case, Shopkeeper Meng, we'll take this set! As for the two sets for the old lady and the third young lady, send them to the Prime Minister's residence, and then go to the accounting office to settle the bill together!"
Shopkeeper Meng also noticed Yun Yiyi's thoughts, and now he agreed with Yun Qianmeng's approach!
After all, the jewelry from "Fuguitang" is not cheap. The set that Yun Yiyi just chose costs five thousand taels of silver!
"Yes!" Shopkeeper Meng replied and led Yun Qianmeng out!
At this time, the door of Mudanxuan was also pushed open, and the first person to walk out was a woman with a cold and stunning appearance!
The only one who makes people feel their presence is Hai Tian!
Hai Tian was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with several hollow-carved purple jade hairpins inserted in her black hair, and some pearls the size of index fingers dotted around them. Her delicate white ears were wearing purple jade earrings of the same color. Her soft eyes revealed a brilliance and fierceness that could not be ignored, which made ordinary people feel a chill in their hearts when they saw her!
At this moment, Hai Tian was surrounded by three beautiful young women, who must be her three sisters-in-law!
However, at this moment, Hai Tian's attention was not on her three sisters-in-law. Her eyes, full of prestige, were looking through the crowd at Yun Qianmeng. When she saw the gauze hat on Yun Qianmeng's head, her delicate brows inadvertently frowned!
This subtle little movement immediately attracted the attention of those around her!
I saw a little girl running out from behind the crowd with a panicked look on her face, then she knelt on her knees in front of Hai Tian, holding up her hands a pink and purple gauze hat!
Seeing this, another maid immediately took the veil and carefully put it on Hai Tian. Then everyone heard a sharp voice coming from behind the veil, "Take her back and beat her to death!"
Hai Tian actually did something so cruel in public, and the people around her all looked disapproving. The three sisters-in-law even took the opportunity to scold the little girl. No one showed any sympathy at all!
And this little girl seemed to have anticipated her fate long ago. She didn't even struggle or beg for mercy. Her face was pale as she was dragged away by several strong maids!
Seeing that the beautiful woman just now was so cruel, Yun Yiyi was also afraid in her heart, and hid behind Yun Qianmeng awkwardly!
As soon as this incident happened, Yun Qianmeng and others had already arrived at the stairs, and Mudanxuan was already located at the stairs, so people from both sides immediately stood at one end of the stairs!
The three sisters-in-law immediately glared at Yun Qianmeng and the others, while Hai Tian and Yun Qianmeng looked at each other quietly through the veil!
Shopkeeper Meng never thought that these two people would actually meet each other. He was secretly thinking about how Gai could speak to ease the awkwardness at the moment!
After a while, Hai Tian only felt the girl under the veil opposite her raise a faint smile, and then a clear and elegant voice sounded, "Please go first!"
Then, Yun Qianmeng automatically took three steps back, giving the space at the stairs to Hai Tian and others!
Puzzlement flashed across Hai Tian's eyes, and then a hint of anger appeared!
However, he had already lost his dignity and composure when giving way just now. Now that he was in front of everyone, he could not lose to the other party again!
So, he took a step forward, stared at the cold and clear eyes in the hazy light, and said in a cold voice, "Thank you!" But Yun Qianmeng just nodded slightly and looked away!
The three sisters-in-law saw that Yun Qianmeng was sensible, and since she had been out for a long time, they surrounded Hai Tian and walked down the third floor and got on the carriage of the Sea King's Mansion!
After getting on the carriage, one of the sisters-in-law noticed that Hai Tian seemed unhappy, so she tentatively said, "I don't know whose daughter that was just now. She didn't even show any courtesy when she saw Tian'er! She thought it was a big deal to just give way. Tian'er thanked her, but she acted like that again. I really want to rip that little bitch's mouth off!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the temperature in the car dropped sharply. The other two people immediately winked at her, while Hai Tian remained silent, but she was indeed curious about Yun Qianmeng!
But, there is no need to rush!
Those who can enter "Fuguitang" to buy jewelry must be either rich or noble!
Anyone who can be personally received by Manager Meng must be of a more distinguished status!
As long as you grasp these two points, it will not be difficult to find out whose lady that was!
Besides, there was a naked lady standing next to the woman, so it would be easy to find her!
After this analysis, Hai Tian's eyes suddenly darkened, and a cold light shot out from the bottom of her eyes...
Meanwhile, Yun Yiyi, who had gotten on the carriage, also started talking about Hai Tian!
"Big sister, do you know who that was just now? She was so beautiful! But her expression was a little too cold, and she was even inhumane to the servants!" Yun Yiyi thought of the look Hai Tian had given them just now, and her whole body trembled!
I wonder what kind of environment that woman grew up in. Why are those beautiful eyes so frightening, like the gleam of swords and the shadow of knives?
Yun Qianmeng listened to Yun Yiyi's comments on Hai Tian, but did not say anything!
In the deep and dangerous Sea King's Palace, if Hai Tian had been soft-hearted, she would have turned into a pile of bones by now!
Moreover, Yun Yiyi thought that everyone was Yun Xuanzhi, and allowed a concubine to control the Prime Minister's Mansion with one hand!
The foundation of the Sea King's Palace is much deeper than that of the Prime Minister's Palace. The complex and intertwined relationships underground have long turned the Sea King's Palace into a fortress that devours people without leaving any bones behind!
If Hai Tian didn't use strict family rules to rule the country, the order in the Sea Palace would have been in chaos long ago!
Although I can't stand her ruthless style of doing things, I also admire her decisiveness and calmness!
As they were talking, the carriage returned to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After Yun Qianmeng and Yun Yiyi paid their respects to the old lady, they returned to Qiluo Garden. It was already time for dinner!
Although Aunt Mi followed Yun Qianmeng out of the house today, they acted separately after leaving the house!
When Yun Qianmeng returned to Qiluo Garden, Aunt Mi had already asked the maids to prepare dinner!
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Yun Qianmeng smiled and said, "Madam and Mu Chun, please sit down and eat together!"
But Muchun and Aunt Mi were both stubborn and refused to sit down no matter what. Yun Qianmeng had no choice but to finish her dinner alone. After taking a shower, she sent everyone away and left Aunt Mi alone in the inner room to question them!
"Miss, Nanny Xia told me that the cream is indeed real! Back then, the old lady accidentally hurt her hand while embroidering, so she forcibly asked the cream from a rich man!" When Nanny Mi saw Yun Qianmeng leaving her alone, she knew what she wanted to ask, and immediately told her everything she heard from Nanny Xia!
However, after hearing what Nanny Xia said to her today, Nanny Mi's impression of the old lady plummeted!
How can a person who goes to great lengths to snatch his daughter-in-law's dowry be a good person?
It can be seen that all the people in this deep mansion are selfish and greedy for money!
Living in such a family, apart from the slight glitz that outsiders see, it is really not as warm as the homes of ordinary people!
Yun Qianmeng had already guessed that the cream was so precious. Qu Ruoli must have been reluctant to use it herself, so how could she be so generous as to give it to the old lady? The old lady must have used a trick to get it!
After hearing Aunt Mi's report, Yun Qianmeng just sneered and asked, "What did Yingqiu say?"
Speaking of this, Aunt Mi laughed sincerely, "Miss, you are smart. You left some of the cream with Yingqiu in advance! That girl said today that the cream is not complicated to make! The real headache is to get the herbs to make the cream. I am afraid it will take a long time! And the girl also tried it. The cream sent by the old lady did not contain any poisonous substances, so you can use it with confidence!
At this point, Aunt Mi paused, remembering that the bottle of cream had long been given to Yun Ruoxue by the young lady. She felt distressed for a moment and said angrily, "The second young lady got such a good thing for nothing!"
Yun Qianmeng didn't think so. In this world, you have to give in order to gain something. It is absolutely impossible to expect something in return without paying anything!
Exchanging a bottle of unnecessary cream for Su Qing's mother and daughter's enmity is the most cost-effective deal!
However, seeing Aunt Mi's distressed expression, Yun Qianmeng smiled and explained, "Given Yun Ruoxue's personality, she'll definitely apply the cream every day as if it were a life-saving medicine! Aunt, do you remember what the doctor told me last time? Never apply it before the wound scabs off! But Yun Ruoxue has always loved beauty, and now that her face is damaged, she must be eager to restore it immediately! In this situation, how could she listen to the doctor's advice? I'm afraid she'll want to use the entire bottle of cream on her face!"
The words were so clear, and the indignation on Mi Ma's face was now replaced by excitement. She continued with Yun Qianmeng's words, "I'm afraid that what the Second Miss is doing will backfire. The scar on her head won't get better, but will only get worse! By then, that little face will be truly disfigured! And the instigator of all this is Su Qing. I'm afraid that mother and daughter will really become enemies this time!"
"However, Su Qing still has this daughter in her heart! In order to ease the relationship between mother and daughter, she can only nod and agree to let Yun Ruoxue attend the birthday party!" By then, Qu Ruoli's dowry will all be back in her hands!
Things are like a chain of locks, one link after another. It seems that Yun Qianmeng did not put in any effort or press hard, but the opponent was forced into a dead end because of these inadvertent little things. He had no choice but to compromise!
However, although Aunt Mi was happy to get back the lady's dowry, the scar on the eldest lady's arm became a huge stone weighing on her heart!
If Yun Qianmeng said that she didn't care about the scar, she would be lying!
After all, what woman doesn't love beauty? This time, she had to resort to this self-torture tactic out of helplessness. Otherwise, who would joke with their own body!
What's more, after these days of recuperation, the body's functions have all been restored, and the first to benefit is the skin, which is as white, tender and smooth as a freshly peeled egg!
With such beautiful skin, she naturally didn't want to leave scars, so she had already thought of a way out!

But early the next morning, before Yun Qianmeng got up, Yun Ruoxue actually brought her maid to Qiluo Garden!
After waiting in the side room for a long time and drinking three cups of tea, Yun Ruoxue finally saw Yun Qianmeng slowly walk in. She immediately went forward to greet her warmly, bowing respectfully and saying, "Second sister greets elder sister!"
Yun Qianmeng saw that her head was still wrapped in white gauze, so she enthusiastically helped her up from her squatting position and said with concern, "Second sister, you're not feeling well. You could just call a maid over. Why did you make such a big trip?"
