At this moment, Chu Jin Yao was reminded of the phrase ‘biting the hand that fed’. Just as both parties were in a stalemate, the maids in the pavilion were startled suddenly and lowered themselves down.
Even County Princess became obedient when she saw the oncoming person.

As soon as Lin Bao Zhu finished speaking, the room was filled with silent awkwardness.
Lin Bao Zhu was born as County Princess and was treated as though everything she said was correct, and everything she wanted was given. She had long gotten used to not caring about anything and being in the dominant position. When she asked the question, it was most likely that she had heard the rumours about Chu Jin Yao and Chu Jin Miao and felt that it was bizarre as it was more interesting than those novels, thus she ran over to enquire about it. However, she did not care one bit about the occasion or how the two parties would handle the situation.

The maids stepped forward and handed to Chu Jin Yao and the rest a pouch. Chu Jin Yao squeezed it after receiving it before handing it over to the maid behind, without any hesitation.
One could only say that life experiences were just this strange. With Chu Jin Yao’s current family background, she did not take such a gift seriously.

Early in the morning, the carriage from the Marquis of Chang Xing set off. Even if they went to the Prince Residence for a banquet, there was no reason to trouble Old Furen. Thus, only Madam Zhao and Madam Yan went out, each bringing their daughters.
The Third Household’s TaiTai was a concubine’s daughter-in-law and thus could only stay back on such occasions to serve Old Chu Furen. However, the Third Household had a daughter and in such an instance it would be deemed unreasonable to leave Sixth Young Lady behind. Thus, Madam Zhao took over Third Furen’s responsibility and brought Sixth Young Lady out and looked after her during the banquet.

Wei Wu had sent someone over to deliver the accounting books two months before, but as everyone was busy with Chu Jin Xian’s wedding, Chu Jin Yao could only put aside the matter and did not even read it. At that time, she did not want to get too involved in the affairs of the Palace, so it was naturally best to decline a business with such a complicated background. However, now that the Yun brocade shop and her were in a mutually beneficial relationship, Chu Jin Yao was relieved. It was good if the other party had wishes, and if they really gave her money without wanting returns… Chu Jin Yao would not dare to accept it.
After inquiring about the other party’s details, Chu Jin Yao was then in the mood to look through the accounting books. Even though she did not understand it, she now had responsibility with it, so Chu Jin Yao read it with all her efforts. Wei Liang stood outside and through the blurry screen saw that Chu Jin Yao had finished flipping the pages and thus spoke, “Young Lady Chu, the shop will send you the accounts monthly and also that month’s dividend. During the two months, the people who came over did not see you personally and thus dared not hand over the money, thus it was delayed until I brought it all to you today. It is too ostentatious to move the taels over when entering the residence, and my Father also said that it was not safe, thus he has made the decision to change it to notes. Young lady, please take look…”

With regards to the marriage of the eldest Di-daughter of the residence of Marquis Chang Xing, preparation had started since a year ago. However, even in the month before the marriage, the residence became busier as if no matter the amount of preparation there was, it was still not enough.
Due to the sudden visit of the Crown Prince’s confidant a few days ago, the residence of Prince Huai Ling had cancelled their invitation. After the wind finally passed, the residence of Marquis Chang Xing was busy with Chu Jin Xian’s wedding and did not have any time or energy to pay attention to other matters. The fifth and sixth lunar month was spent in the midst of the bustle till the tenth of the eight lunar month, when Chu Jin Xian’s day to step out of the boudoir finally arrived and the entire residence of Marquis Chang Xing could breathe out a sigh of relief.

When Tang Xin Yi heard Qin Yi’s words, his brow jerked. What did the Crown Prince’s words mean?
Tang Xin Yi’s heart was in turbulence, but his facial expression still remained calm. After a while his sanity returned, and he could finally calm down enough to think about the ins and outs of the matter. He served the Crown Prince closely, so naturally he knew the Crown Prince’s whereabouts like the back of his hand. That year when the Crown Prince left the capital, he took the road on Shan Bei and came directly to DaTong, thus he had never been to TaiYuan, let alone encountered the Young Lady of Marquis Chang Xing residence. Theoretically, the Crown Prince had never seen the Chu family’s daughter so that words just now should not be taken literally…

Chu Jin Xian looked at the contents on the tray and her brows were filled with surprise, “What is this all about?” She just touched it roughly and felt that the fabric used for clothes at the bottom were very expensive and things in the box were even more frightening. There was a set of gold inlaid jade hair jewellery and a pair of jade bracelets. Chu Jin Xian knew that Chu Jin Yao’s treatment was much better these days, and her food had risen to the same level as her. Even so, how could Chu Jin Yao afford such valuable things like these? Chu Jin Xian lowered her voice as she asked, “Where did you get these things?”
Chu Jin Yao whispered, “Older Sister, do you remember Tang GongGong that day on the streets?”
