In reality, Marquis Qing'an had been spending time with his beloved Bai Yueguang outside all along, and the old Marquis and his adopted sons had secretly sent her a lot of gold and silver treasures.
Yes, the gold, silver and jade ornaments plundered from her dowry and the money she earned were not only used to support that ungrateful marquis but also to support his concubines!
Before leaving, she dug a big pit for the Marquis's mansion, naturally by providing "clues" so that the people of the Marquis's mansion could bring people to catch her "adulterous" act.
In reality, the location was the courtyard that the Marquis had bought for his beloved, and she was determined to keep the two of them locked together for the rest of her life!
All past events are now history, and Liang Shu is now as calm as still water.
However, King Xuan was heartbroken upon hearing this, and tears streamed down his face as he cried uncontrollably.
"Shushu, don't go back. Stay in the Prince's Mansion from now on. No one will dare to bully you!"
King Xuan spoke while sobbing.
"Father, rest assured, now that I'm here, it means I've let go of the past." Liang Shu smiled.
"Moreover, I have come here on important business. I wonder if my father can lend a hand?"
"Shushu, do whatever you want. Your father will support you!"
Liang Shu smiled and asked the old nanny next to her to bring out an exquisite mahogany box. When it was opened, a jade pendant with a warm luster was revealed inside.
"Father, this is a gift from your daughter. You just need to keep it with you."
King Xuan couldn’t wait to untie the blood jade and hang the jade pendant given to him by his daughter on his waist. He was shocked as soon as he got his hands on it.
"This jade pendant is even warmer than warm jade; it makes my whole body feel warm!"
"Wait a minute, I'm going for a walk outside!"
Without saying a word, King Xuan ran out, startling the surrounding servants who quickly chased after him.
"Your Highness, it's freezing outside, please take care of yourself!"
The attendant frantically took the satin cloak, but King Xuan pushed it back.
King Xuan stood before him with a proud expression, like a rooster that had won a fight.
"With the warm jade my daughter gave me, I can't feel the cold anymore. Why would I need to wear a cloak? I need to get ready quickly; I'm going to visit some friends!"
With just a glance, King Xuan understood what his daughter was about to do.
Seeing that his daughter had regained her fighting spirit and even planned to do business in the capital, he, as her father, had to support her!
Moreover, this warm jade is very magical. Just wearing it around the waist is like creating a warm stove around you, so even the cold wind outside doesn't feel cold!
This is a really good product; it's sure to fetch a good price!
His friends had watched Shushu grow up; how could they not spend some money?
King Xuan left in a hurry, and before leaving, he specially ordered that the courtyard be cleaned so that his daughter wouldn't get cold.
As expected, within half a day, the news of King Xuan and his close friend fighting over a piece of warm jade spread throughout the capital.
Everyone was very curious about just how special this warm jade was that it would be so coveted by two important figures.
When they learned that Princess Ning'an had acquired the jade pendant from a foreign merchant, a group of people couldn't wait to come and find it.
At night, Liang Shu lit a candle and talked with several friends.
"The first step of the plan has been completed; now we just need to wait for their reaction tomorrow."
"High-ranking officials in the capital are all eager to acquire this warm jade, so there's no doubt that wealthy merchants will be tempted."
"But what about the emperor..."
Liang Shu frowned slightly.
Before coming to the capital, Old Madam Gongsun and they analyzed that the emperor was very likely to cooperate with evil spirits, and that the other mastermind behind the scenes in the capital was that evil spirit who had been hiding in the shadows.
Thinking of the imperial uncle from her memories of this life, Liang Shu did indeed find it very strange.
