Yan Ruyu tilted her head to look at Cheng Fengyao. The little girl was very proud and her arrogance was written all over her face.

Yan Ruyu smiled nonchalantly. The more proud she was, the better. After all, she had a share of the money earned by the jewelry pavilion.

The drawings of these new products are also charged separately. The more expensive they are sold at, the more commission you get.

Five hundred taels for a pair of earrings was indeed a high price, especially since it was just the beginning, so no one raised the price.

Cheng Fengyao got the earrings as she wished.

Shopkeeper Zhou held up a pair of jade earrings and said, "It is said that jade can only be worn by ladies to complement each other. People complement jade and jade complements people. However, our jade earrings are exquisitely designed and can be worn by ladies or young ladies. They each have their own beauty."

The jade is transparent and looks like water floating on it, which shows that it is made of top-quality jade.

Compared to the radiant ruby, this pair of jadeite is more noble.

"For this pair, the starting price is three hundred taels."

Jewelry is what attracts women the most, and someone immediately raised the price.

"three hundred fifty!"

"Four hundred!"

"Four hundred and twenty!"

The eldest lady raised her sign: "Six hundred taels!"

After he raised his hand, he glanced in the direction of Mrs. Cheng and her daughter unintentionally and smiled faintly.

Mrs. Cheng, who had just bid four hundred and twenty, was suddenly excited.

"Six hundred and sixty taels!"

The eldest lady raised her hand again: "Eight hundred!"

Everyone was surprised. Even though the jade was of excellent quality, the price of a pair of earrings was still too expensive.

The eldest lady raised her chin proudly, like a peacock that had won a battle.

"Eight hundred and twenty!" Mrs. Cheng gritted her teeth and shouted.

She really liked him, and in her heart she also secretly wanted to compete with the eldest lady for him.

Yan Ruyu was really afraid that the eldest lady would raise the sign again, and was just about to remind her when the eldest lady put down the sign and held it tightly.

Shopkeeper Zhou glanced at Yan Ruyu and was not sure whether the eldest lady really didn't want it or just thought it was too expensive.

Yan Ruyu whispered: "Mother, if you like..."

The eldest lady lowered her lips and said, "It is beautiful, but I also want to raise the price for her so that she can buy it."

Yan Ruyu: “…” You’ve learned to drive up prices so quickly.

She shook her head slightly at Shopkeeper Zhou.

Shopkeeper Zhou said, "Okay, the jade earrings belong to that lady!"

The Cheng family mother and daughter had a good start, but they also spent more than a thousand taels at once.

After the brief excitement, I felt a little sad.

But these are just earrings, there are also necklaces, hairpins, hairpins, and step-shaking ornaments behind them.

Compared to those, what are earrings?

They secretly reminded themselves that they must stay calm later.

The eldest lady looked at the plate full of jewelry and was eager to try. She was determined to make the mother and daughter bleed a lot of money.

Yan Ruyu should be the calmest one in the crowd. She didn't want to buy anything, nor did she need to buy anything. She just needed to watch these women get excited about the jewelry.

Just like watching a play.

At the same time, he calculated the time in his mind, thinking that the abbot should have news.

The abbot now felt a chill on the back of his neck.

He originally thought that Mu Baodi overestimated her own abilities and did not know her own worth. Now he thinks that Mu Baodi is a mental patient.

Nanny Wu, who was alive and well just now and was talking to them, was suddenly killed. The abbot felt that even he, an outsider, was upset and surprised, but the eldest daughter of the Mu family said something sinister, "The gods are taking my life."

The abbot subconsciously stayed away from her, thinking to himself, "The gods are taking my life. I think you look like an evil ghost."

The abbot didn't say anything, and he really didn't know what to say.

Mu Baodi looked at Nanny Wu's corpse and curled her lips very slowly: "The gods are indeed effective."

The abbot and Feng Shao looked at each other. In Feng Shao's eyes, "she is a psychopath." The two had the same opinion.

Mu Baodi said to the abbot, "After you go back, tell Master Kong Neng to light another stick of incense for me to thank the gods."

The abbot nodded and said, "I will pass it on."

Mu Baodi ordered, "Come here, drag the body away."

"Don't be an eyesore here."

The abbot wanted to ask, if someone died, wouldn't you report it to the authorities? Wouldn't you invite someone to come and examine the case?

After another look, he thought that this woman was mentally ill, so he decided to forget it. It wouldn't be too late to talk to Yan Ruyu after he got back.

Now it is better to have less trouble than more, and the abbot didn't even want to say anything extra.

Someone dragged away Nanny Wu's body. The abbot looked at the little maid Cuizhi, whose eyes were red, and shook his head secretly.

This maid is really sad.

Fortunately, Mu Baodi didn't say anything else. The abbot took his leave and didn't return to the mourning hall. He just took the bee whistle and left quickly.

There were few people in the mansion and it was chaotic, so no one paid attention to them.

Only after he walked out of the Mu Mansion, turned a corner and made sure it was safe did the abbot breathe a sigh of relief and feel alive again.

It really felt like I was walking through some gloomy and spooky place just now.

Feng Shao was also panting and whispered, "Abbot, I think the Mu family is acting strangely. Why don't you go back first and I'll stay and keep an eye on them. If there's any other movement, I can go back and report to the princess."

The abbot thought about it and decided that it was a good idea. Bee Whistle was specialized in surveillance and gathering information, so it would be just right to stay and observe for a while.

"Okay, you have to be careful. If you can't find out, leave and don't put yourself in danger."

Feng Shao took off his monk's hat and robes: "Okay."

The abbot took his clothes and put them into the carriage. He pretended to fiddle with the carriage for a while and took out a coat and a cloak from the space.

"This is for you, don't get cold."

Feng Shao's heart warmed up and he hugged the clothes: "Thank you, Abbot!"

The abbot patted him on the shoulder and left in the carriage.

Feng Shao changed his clothes and put on a cloak, looking completely different from the little monk just now.

He looked around and saw that there were mostly houses in this area and no shops. However, there was a stall selling wontons and sesame cakes at the intersection.

He walked over and ordered a bowl, which was steaming hot and served with a crispy sesame cake. It was delicious and warming.

While eating, I chatted with the old lady selling wontons. Although the old lady was old, she had sharp ears and eyes and was very talkative.

"This family has had a really bad year. The mistress of the family died, and the child is missing. I heard that the child's father went out to look for him last night, and he hasn't come back yet."

"I don't know where to look for him," the old woman sighed. "I heard that the young master ran away after the young lady's dog, and the dog was run over by a car."

"Last night the eldest lady was making such a fuss that she had to find the person and make her dog pay for his life."

Feng Shao was surprised: "Who should pay for the dog's life?"

"The eldest lady said that someone released her dog on purpose. Her dog doesn't run around normally, and it wouldn't have died if it hadn't been on the street. She wants to find the person who released the dog."

Bee Whistle sighed: "Is there such a thing?"

"Of course not," the old woman pointed to the intersection, "It's right there. Last night, the eldest daughter made a scene. Her father wanted to go look for her brother, but she kept holding on to him, insisting that the person who released the dog be caught. Her father even kicked her."

Feng Shao found it unbelievable after hearing this, and thought that Miss Mu was mentally ill.

"Did she find the person who released the dog?"

The old woman whispered, "Maybe he found it, or maybe there's someone suspicious, maybe a woman of some kind."

"Alas, it's not easy to be a maid in a wealthy family."
