She and Su Luo looked at the scenery outside with interest, while Qingcheng sat aside but was not very interested.
Mu Yun'an asked: "Are you okay, but what's wrong with you?"
Qingcheng shook her head and said, "It's okay."
Mu Yun'an didn't ask any more questions, and soon the carriage stopped in front of the Zhenbao Pavilion. This was a very famous store in the capital, and it was said that it was very popular among ladies.
This treasure shop sells everything for women, including rouge, gouache, hairpins, silks and satins.
Mu Yun'an got out of the car and heard a woman's scolding from not far away: "Stop."
She looked up and saw three noble girls chasing out of the Treasure Pavilion, and the person they called to stop was none other than the girl from the Chu family whom she had met yesterday.
Chu Lianyi turned around and frowned as she looked at the people chasing them, and asked, "What's the matter?"
These people were all acquaintances, and they were the ones she least wanted to see.
The leading woman was a young lady from the Duke of Lu's Mansion, named Lu Ronger. The two women behind her were her cousin Wan Baoying and the young lady Zhou Xintong from the General's Mansion.
These three people always like to bully her.
Lu Ronger looked arrogant, she stretched out her hand and said: "Take it out."
Chu Lianyi asked in confusion: "What?"
Lu Ronger said: "Why are you pretending to be crazy? Take out the things you bought."
Chu Lianyi said expressionlessly: "I didn't buy anything."
Lu Ronger snorted and said: "What are you doing here if you don't want to buy something? Why are you afraid that I will snatch it from you? You are worthy enough to use the things in this Zhenbao Pavilion?"
Wan Baoying helped from the side and said, "Even if you don't look at yourself like this, you have used the things from Zhenbao Pavilion. How can we use them? If you are sensible, just hand over the things you bought."
Zhou Xintong said: "Hand it over."
The three of them were visiting the Zhenbao Pavilion today and happened to see Chu Lianyi going out, so they chased after her.
In their eyes, Chu Lianyi is not a lady at all, because she is a loser.
Although her father was a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, their family background was no worse than hers.
Moreover, no noble lady in the capital was willing to befriend her. Chu Lianyi was also a freak with a very weird personality, so everyone disliked her.
Chu Lianyi lowered her eyes and said, "I told you, I didn't buy anything from here."
Lu Ronger said impatiently: "If you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink the wine as a penalty." Then, she instructed the two people around her: "Go and search."
A maid stepped forward and held Chu Lianyi down. Wan Baoying and Zhou Xintong walked over and searched, and finally found a stack of banknotes in Chu Lianyi's arms.
Wan Baoying counted ten in total, each worth one hundred taels, and the banknotes also had the seal of Zhenbao Pavilion on them.
She handed the banknote to Lu Ronger and said, "Take a look."
Lu Ronger looked at the seals on the banknotes and said with a surprised expression: "Okay, I asked you why you are so sneaky. It turns out you came to Zhenbao Pavilion to steal something."
Chu Lianyi said: "I didn't. I didn't steal this. If you don't believe it, you can ask the shopkeeper. I got it from selling things."
But Lu Ronger didn't believe it: "What can be sold for a thousand taels? I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."
With that said, she said to Zhou Xintong: "Go and call the shopkeeper."
