"I just had a long chat with the female shopkeeper." Xu Ying smiled and said, "Of course I can't stay in Shang Yu Pavilion any longer."
Even if the master behind Shang Yu Pavilion and the Xia family secretly do not deal with each other, it is only secretly.
Besides, Shang Yuge still has business to do on the surface, so there really is no reason to use her anymore.
Furthermore, thinking of that note, she had no intention of staying here any longer.
The female shopkeeper didn't know the whole story, so she was very apologetic when she mentioned it just now, and even took out her own money, saying it was for her self-defense. Although she was grateful, she declined naturally.
"Ordinarily, I should be a cow or a horse, and stay by Miss Xu's side to serve her in return for this great kindness." Xu Ying said bluntly: "But in this situation, rather than serving, it will only burden Miss Xu.
"
This is really not an excuse to avoid repaying gratitude.
If allowed, she could now willingly follow Miss Xu back to the Duke's Mansion.
"There is no shortage of people around me to serve." Xu Mingyi said with a smile: "Furthermore, Xia Han's matter is what I want to do, and there is no need to talk about any kindness."
When you encounter something that is inferior to a beast like that, who would not want to go up and chop it twice?
When Xu Ying was about to say more, she heard another girl say: "If Miss Xu really wants to repay me, then just continue to do what she wants to do. I like Miss Xu's temperament very much. If Miss Xu can live a good life,
Being free and carefree makes me happy when I look at it - making me happy is the best reward."
Xu Ying is far tougher and more arrogant than ordinary women. Such a self-reliant woman will never have the thought of being a slave at such an age. If she is really accepted as a servant, she will not be the original Xu Ying.
What a pity it would be if there was one less girl like that in this world.
After hearing these words, Xu Ying was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes turned red.
Then, without knowing what he thought of, he stood up, walked to the simple dressing table, and took out a small box that was pressed at the bottom.
After opening the box, he took out the jade pendant with a peace knot inside.
"This piece of jade was left by my mother. I have been carrying it with me all these years. Generations of ancestors in my family have been dealing with jade. Some jade has spirituality." Xu Ying said seriously: "And this
This piece, in my heart, is the most spiritual piece——"
Even though she encountered a lot of hardships, she still believed that her luck had always been good.
Entered Shang Jade Pavilion, became a top-notch jade carver, and avenged Su Su.
The most important thing is-met Miss Xu.
"I want to give this jade pendant to Miss Xu, and I hope Miss Xu won't dislike it." Xu Ying held the jade pendant in front of the girl with both hands.
She really had nothing to repay Miss Xu.
This is the only way she can think of at the moment.
Facing her sincere eyes, Xu Mingyi did not refuse.
"In that case, I will accept it."
Seeing her simply taking the jade pendant, Xu Ying's smile became much brighter.
When I talked next, I became more and more happy and relaxed.
"I've had some thoughts these past few days." Xu Ying sat down and said, "I still want to be a jade carver, and I don't want to lose this skill. It's just that at this point, no one is willing to use me."
After a moment of pause, she said with firm eyes: "Besides, I want to stay in the capital."
Although she experienced a nightmare here, it was also the place where she grew up and her roots.
Besides, she had other things to think about.
Xu Mingyi smiled and nodded: "I also think Miss Xu should stay in the capital."
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Xu Ying's stay in Beijing, under the noses of the Xia family, is the most dangerous.
In fact, it's quite the opposite.
If it were for other things, the Xia family could make a powerless woman disappear quietly with just a few clicks of a finger, and no one would dare to say anything ignorant.
But this time Xia Han's incident was different from ordinary petty quarrels.
From the private sector to the palace, there were a lot of things involved. Xia Tingzhen sacrificed her own son so that she would not be implicated. Such a ruthless and rational person would not in vain invite someone to her for a mere Xu Ying.
Rumors and trouble.
At least not in Beijing.
And if Xu Ying leaves the capital and leaves the sight of the people in the capital——
For a person who has gone far away, who will know where she has gone? Even her life and death are destined not to be known.
"Since Miss Xu still wants to do jade carving, it's better to open a shop by herself." Xu Mingyi suggested.
"Open your own shop?" Xu Ying was stunned.
She had never thought about this...
Xu Mingyi nodded and said seriously: "Just like Shang Yuge, we are in the jewelry business."
As the girl spoke, her eyes lit up slightly, as if she was about to open her own shop.
After all, no amount of jewelry is too much. What girl hasn’t dreamed of owning an entire jewelry store when she was young?
Of course, in addition to this, she also dreamed of having another weapons building - in the eyes of Xu Mingyi when she was young, the most perfect life should be like this.
As I grew older, I discovered that, considering my family's conditions, this perfection was too simple.
Xu Ying was also very happy to hear this.
But it is more difficult.
Miss Xu doesn’t know how expensive firewood and rice are.
No matter how hard she worked for eight lifetimes, she probably wouldn't be able to open a jewelry store like Shang Yuge.
However, if the big one is not enough, you can still think about the small one. After all, she has saved some money over the years.
Xu Mingyi just gave an example casually.
She could also provide the money for Xu Yinglai, or lend it to the other party. Of course, a suitable shop can be found - in short, as long as it is related to the money, it is not a problem.
But the key point is that Xu Yingruo suddenly opened a jewelry store that is inconsistent with her ability. It is too eye-catching and will definitely arouse suspicion.
Opening an inconspicuous small shop not only saves worries, but also can always appear in the eyes of the people. It is the most stable thing.
After the matter was settled, Xu Mingyi resigned.
When she came today, she was originally worried about Xu Ying. After all, there are people who suddenly feel free of worries after their great revenge is avenged, so they have thoughts of committing suicide.
Now she can feel at ease.
…
At the same moment, in the Wu family in the capital, the wife of Prince Dingnan had just sent several ladies away.
It had just been a few days since the Fengtian Temple was struck by lightning, and she didn't want to make any grand arrangements for her birthday. She originally planned to close the door and have a meal with her family, but to her surprise, some people insisted on doing it for her in order to show off their good relationship.
celebrate.
Anyway, there was nothing I could do to chase them away, so I could only pretend to be moved and accept it.
Now it was extremely difficult to send someone away. Mrs. Xu took her maid and mother-in-law back to the courtyard. When she saw the light in the study room was on, it was obvious that her husband was reading again, she couldn't help but sigh deeply.
The husband doesn't understand the style.
The son didn't say anything either.
When Mrs. Xu was feeling desolate, as soon as she entered the hall, she heard the maid coming to announce: "Madam, the grandson is here."
Mrs. Xu was a little surprised.
It was already this hour, and she thought that this brat should have gone to bed long ago. Even if he didn't sleep, if she wanted to be more upbeat, she should take advantage of the beautiful moonlight to go out and meet her sweetheart.
At the moment, it seems that she still overestimates this brat.
