Rong Chengxuan said it lightly, as if it was just a small amount of money in his eyes. "This is the annual salary of the Marquis of Pingxi. I'm giving it to you as pocket money."
When Yun Wanwan weighed the purse in her hand, she felt that it was many times heavier than hers. But it was impossible that the annual salary of the Marquis of Pingxi could be put into a purse, right?
Rong Chengxuan knew what Yun Wanwan was thinking just by looking at her, and explained, "What's in here isn't silver, but gold. I thought silver was too fragile, so I asked him to send it to me in gold instead."
When Yun Wanwan heard that the purse was filled with gold, her eyes immediately flashed. If it was filled with gold, how much money would be in such a heavy purse?
Adding to that the money she earned from running the shop, and the banknotes that Rong Chengxuan sent along with the wedding dress a few days ago, if all these are added together, she can be considered a real rich woman, right?
Yun Wanwan never thought that her wish of becoming a rich woman would actually come true in ancient times. If she had known that traveling through time could help her get rich, she should have traveled through time earlier.
Yun Wanwan was now accustomed to Rong Chengxuan leaving without saying a few words. Almost immediately after Rong Chengxuan left, Liu Xueyan actually came with some people, making such a huge noise that the fish in Yun Wanwan's pond were scared away by her.
When Yun Wanwan took A Kui out, she found that Qingyao, who had been sent to the imperial kitchen to get some snacks to satisfy his craving, was tied up and brought back by Liu Xueyan.
Yun Wanwan frowned and looked at Liu Xueyan, "What do you mean, Your Majesty? This is my maid. What exactly do you mean by tying her up like this?"
Liu Xueyan pointed at Qingyao, who was pinned to the ground by the guards she had brought with her, and said, "Miss Yun, your maid stole my hairpin. How do you think this matter should be resolved?"
Yun Wanwan just found it funny. Not to mention that Weiyang Palace and the Imperial Kitchen were not in the same direction at all, Qingyao was sent by herself to the Imperial Kitchen to get snacks. Was she a fool or something, to go around half of the palace just to go to Weiyang Palace to steal Liu Xueyan's hairpin?
If it comes to stealing a hairpin, why would he steal Liu Xueyan's hairpin? It would obviously be easier to steal hers, and her hairpin is more valuable than Liu Xueyan thought. No matter how you think about it, there is no need for Qingyao to steal Liu Xueyan's hairpin.
Qingyao also started to defend herself: "Miss! Miss! Miss! She framed me. I absolutely did not steal her things!"
The old nanny standing next to Qingyao slapped Qingyao twice and scolded her loudly: "What business do you have here? What qualifications do you, a lowly slave, have to speak?"
Yun Wanwan glanced at the old woman who had slapped Qingyao, then raised an eyebrow and asked Liu Xueyan, "Then I wonder how the Queen wishes to resolve this?"
"Search the palace! I'm going to search the palace!" Liu Xueyan said firmly, "Your maid stole my things, and I'm going to get them back."
Liu Xueyan had thought Yun Wanwan would definitely refuse, but she hadn't expected Yun Wanwan to be so easy to talk to. She agreed the moment Liu Xueyan came out, "Okay, search!"
Liu Xueyan was about to lead the guards she had brought into Qingya Terrace to search the palace when she was unexpectedly stopped at the door by Yun Wanwan. "Miss Yun, are you going to go back on your word? Didn't you already agree to let me search the palace?"
Yun Wanwan shrugged and spread her hands. "Who said they were searching my palace? I was searching your people."
Liu Xueyan might really think Yun Wanwan is a fool. She couldn't even frame Yun Yaoyao in such a low-level way, but she actually wanted to do it in front of her.
The guards at Yun Wanwan's door came from Prince An's Mansion. They were completely different from the guards brought by Liu Xueyan. They could suppress the guards brought by Liu Xueyan in minutes.
Liu Xueyan used almost all her life's patience to resist the urge to swear at Yun Wanwan, and could only watch as Yun Wanwan had the guards search the palace maids she had brought with her one by one.
Yun Wanwan had been on guard since Liu Xueyan said she wanted to search the palace, and she first asked Liu Xueyan what kind of hairpin she had lost.
Everything was just as Liu Xueyan had anticipated, except that Yun Wanwan was now the one feeling the pinch. The guards at Rong Chengxuan's residence were just as efficient as he was. Within moments, they had recovered the hairpin Liu Xueyan had allegedly lost from the maid she had brought with her.
Yun Wanwan handed the hairpin given to her by the servant to Liu Xueyan and said, "It's okay, no need to thank me. I am Lei Feng, who loves to help others."
Little did she know that Liu Xueyan was extremely angry with Yun Wanwan. She had originally said that Yun Wanwan's maid had stolen the hairpin, but now it appeared on the palace maid she brought with her. Doesn't this prove that she was the one who wanted to frame Yun Wanwan's maid?
Yun Wanwan asked the guards to untie the ropes tied around Qingyao, then she walked up to the old nanny who had just slapped Qingyao several times and slapped her back twice as hard.
Liu Xueyan watched Yun Wanwan beating the nanny she brought with her, and didn't dare to say anything. After all, she was in the wrong first, and Yun Wanwan had the upper hand.
After beating the man, Yun Wanwan pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve and carefully wiped each of her fingers with it. She then handed the handkerchief to A Kui and instructed, "Burn this handkerchief when you get back. I don't think it's clean."
After saying this, he glanced at Liu Xueyan, who seemed to be hinting at something. Liu Xueyan couldn't think of anything nice to say in response to Yun Wanwan, so she could only swallow her bitterness in silence. She endured it all.
But Yun Wanwan is not someone who is so easy to deal with. Her principle in doing things has always been, "I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will definitely offend them."
She pulled out a hairpin from her head. This hairpin was completely different from the one Liu Xueyan said she had lost.
The hairpin was golden in color, with a lifelike phoenix carved on the body. A snow lotus carved out of gold was quietly blooming on the top of the hairpin, and there was also a pendant that looked like a lotus seed. It was truly elegant and otherworldly.
"I see that the Empress's attire is quite simple and elegant lately. Perhaps you don't have enough money to buy yourself clothes? This hairpin of mine isn't worth much, so I'll give it to you, Empress."
Liu Xueyan liked Yun Wanwan's hairpin, but she really disliked Yun Wanwan's tone of conferring.
