The government found the tall and thin woman guilty of fraud, sentenced her to thirty strokes of the cane, and ordered her to return the silver.
The court also determined that the blacksmith shop was implicated and sentenced them to forty strokes of the cane and five days' imprisonment.
Princess Wuyang returned to the mansion to listen to the maids' talk.
She remembered the set of jewelry she had ordered from Chi Yunzhi and couldn't wait any longer.
After bathing, no matter how dark it was, we would get on the carriage and leave.
Zhang Lanxu frowned with a headache as he looked at the reckless person who never stopped for a moment.
How long have you been home?
And we're going to have dinner together soon.
Just as Chi Yunzhi was about to ask the shopkeeper to close the door, she saw an extremely luxurious carriage slowly stop at the door of Baoyun Pavilion.
Princess Wuyang jumped off the carriage.
She knew that the princess must be here to get the jewelry.
"Hello, Princess Wuyang. Let's go upstairs to talk." Chi Yunzhi said calmly.
The shopkeeper took out the customized set of jewelry, and the waiter lit candles throughout the Baoyun Pavilion.
The gems inlaid in the jewelry complement the bright candlelight, creating a dazzling effect.
Princess Wuyang is not like Princess Muyang who wants to put pressure on others anytime and anywhere.
As soon as she opened the box, she was almost dazzled by the custom-made jewelry inside.
Each piece was so beautiful that she simply couldn't put them down.
At her mother's birthday party this time, she will definitely be the most beautiful woman in the room.
Humph, Mu Yang stole the limelight last time, I must take it back this time!
Chi Yunzhi looked at the gleam in her eyes and knew that she liked it very much.
The shopkeeper was much more steady than last time and didn't breathe heavily.
Princess Wuyang readily gave the remaining money and asked Chi Yunzhi about the case.
Chi Yunzhi didn't expect that this matter would spread so quickly, even Princess Wuyang, who had just returned to Beijing, knew about it.
She had no choice but to tell the whole story from beginning to end, "Please rest assured, Princess, every piece of jewelry we produce at Baoyun Pavilion is of guaranteed quality, and we will never pass off inferior products as good ones."
Princess Wuyang was touched by what she was thinking and nodded awkwardly.
Princess Wuyang left with her jewelry, and Baoyun Pavilion closed.
Chi Yunzhi turned around and saw Song Tingyue riding on a tall horse. His face was tense, but when he saw Chi Yunzhi, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
Who is this guy trying to be cool for in the dark?
Song Tingyue stretched out his hand to her, and Chi Yunzhi smiled and used his hand to get on the horse.
She was wrapped in his arms, her back pressed tightly against his chest.
It was a hot summer day, and his warmth penetrated the thin fabric and reached her back.
It's hot and a little uncomfortable.
She leaned forward a little, but Song Tingyue came right up to her.
She twisted her body in discomfort, and suddenly felt something hard touching somewhere.
Chi Yunzhi didn't dare to move.
Song Tingyue's laughter came from above her head, and she elbowed him in annoyance.
"Let's talk about it when we get home."
Chi Yunzhi's face turned red and she nodded randomly in agreement.
The two men rode on the same horse, and some aunties passing by wanted to scold them for being immoral.
But after seeing the appearance of Song Tingyue and Chi Yunzhi, the words on the tip of his tongue turned into "what a perfect match they are."
Three days later, the Chi Mansion and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion were indeed among the invited guests for the Princess Rui’s birthday banquet.
Song Tingyue wore a dark blue round-necked robe with silver-thread embroidered cloud patterns on the collar and cuffs. He wore a green belt with white jade pendants around his waist and a purse hanging from it.
His black hair was tied up with a silver crown, and the crystal clear white jade on the crown made his hair look like black satin.
Chi Yunzhi also wore a dark blue double-breasted blouse and a green butterfly-shaped pleated skirt. There were several pearl hairpins in her black hair, and she looked noble and low-key.
The two stood together, and Zhuyin and Huarong couldn't help but admire.
The two of them got on the carriage. Chi Yunzhi knew that she would have to behave like this all day and she began to feel sorry for herself.
Song Tingyue looked at her drooping shoulders and face with some amusement, and couldn't help but kiss her forehead.
"If you don't like getting involved with them, just go to the side and enjoy the flowers. I've asked Brother Rong An to tell Princess Muyang to take good care of you." Song Tingyue looked at her slender nail-painted fingers and thought they were really beautiful.
The carriage moved forward and finally stopped at the gate of Prince Rui's Palace.
When they arrived, the servant at the door was parking a carriage for another distinguished guest.
As soon as Chi Yunzhi stood firm, she saw Chi Miaoyan getting off the carriage opposite.
The two sisters looked at each other and turned away indifferently.
Zhichi Miaoyan's gaze wandered to Song Tingyue, and she looked away only when he noticed something.
We parted that day and met again today. This round-necked robe made him look tall and straight as if he was relaxed.
As soon as Song Tingyue appeared, he attracted several inquiring gazes.
He was a little unhappy but couldn't say it. He just took Chi Yunzhi's hand and walked inside under the guidance of the servant.
She also noticed Chi Miaoyan's gaze. It seemed that she still wanted to stick to Song Tingyue!
But she won't give her this chance!
Let’s compete in acting skills today!
Zhang Rong'an, who was waiting at the screen wall, successfully met Song Tingyue and the other person. Outsiders were not allowed to enter the backyard of the second gate, as that was where the female family members went.
"Mu Yang is already waiting for you inside, go quickly." Zhang Rongan said warmly.
Chi Yunzhi nodded at him and went inside with a beautiful face.
The guests at Princess Rui's birthday banquet were all from noble families, and some were also merchants who came uninvited and brought valuable gifts to celebrate the princess's birthday.
The prince did not hit anyone who smiled at him, and considering that they had contributed so much money to him, he welcomed them in.
Chi Yunzhi entered the second gate and could hear women talking and laughing coming from the hanging flower gate. She easily found Princess Muyang.
"Yunzhi! Here!" Princess Muyang waved at her enthusiastically.
Chi Yunzhi turned her head and saw that she was sitting among a group of young ladies. Everyone's eyes followed her movements and fell on Chi Yunzhi.
"Is that the wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan? She's so beautiful."
"If I were as beautiful as her, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
"Who was it that said she was shameless, talentless, and immoral before? I think he was really blind!"
Chi Miaoyan, who was inexplicably caught in the crossfire, looked away awkwardly.
Chi Yunzhi walked up enthusiastically and stood with Princess Muyang.
Princess Muyang introduced her to everyone enthusiastically, "She is the wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the owner of Baoyun Pavilion. I bought those jewels from Baoyun Pavilion last time."
Everyone complimented him again.
"But I heard that the hairpins from Baoyun Pavilion are not good and someone came to make trouble!" One of the young ladies said timidly, but her eyes were looking at Chi Yunzhi intentionally or unintentionally.
Princess Muyang's expression froze for a moment.
"The government has already ruled on that case. The woman was sent by someone to come here and defraud money. Young lady, you must know the whole truth."
Chi Yunzhi turned around and saw that it was Princess Wuyang coming towards her.
