Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

The emperor knew that this was the only way to do it. If Shen Ping was pushed too far, she would destroy all the seeds and there would be nothing left.

So don't push too much, just know when to quit.

The emperor agreed and asked General Dingyuan to send Miss Ma back. He also told Lord Xia that the matter was settled and he was not allowed to mention it again.

Shen Ping then took out some cotton seeds. The emperor was overjoyed and asked General Dingyuan to give the seeds to Lord Xia.

The emperor suggested that Shen Ping stay. As long as she could stay, he was willing to make an exception for her and appoint her as a female official, with the same official position as the Minister of Agriculture, to devote herself to the study of crops.

Just kidding, Shen Ping was of course unwilling to do so. She originally wanted to take He Li back, but didn't want to get herself involved.

She didn't want to stay in the capital, and even less did she want to be a crappy official.

The emperor gave Shen Ping two days to consider. If Shen Ping was unwilling, she could leave, but He Li had to stay.

Now the emperor is not worried that Shen Ping will leave, because he knows that the purpose of Shen Ping's visit is to take He Li away as well.

He knew that He Li had no ambitions and didn't want to stay in the capital, but he didn't want to let him go.

Now that Shen Ping is here, he is even more determined.

Although Madam Shen is a woman, she is a rare talent. If they are released, it will be a great loss to the court.

Refusing to allow He Li to leave now is also a way to restrain Shen Ping. He wants Shen Ping to stay as well.

How could Shen Ping not know what the emperor was planning? She knew that the emperor would not let her go easily. After all, she was a multi-talented person.

Who doesn’t want to retain talents, especially people like me, where can I find them?

Before leaving, Ling just opened the door and looked up to see the emperor. Her heart skipped a beat as she recognized him at a glance. That was the former Seventh Prince, the current emperor.

Ling was flustered and quickly looked away and walked towards the bathroom.

The emperor looked at Ling's back and felt that she looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her. He shook his head and walked downstairs.

Ling asked Cuihong and her friends indirectly and finally found out that the emperor had come to see the lady.

Ling didn't understand why the Madam didn't tell the Emperor about the young lady. But she guessed that the Madam might be looking for a suitable time.

These days she taught the young lady some palace etiquette. Xu Feng was raised as a boy since she was young and was used to being free and undisciplined. She was not used to wearing women's clothes and following the rules.

As soon as she changed into women's clothes and was asked to speak softly and walk like a lady with her fingers raised, Xu Feng kept complaining that it was too difficult and she was unwilling to do it.

It seems that we have to hurry up and teach her early, otherwise when the time comes, the emperor will see that the young lady not only looks like a wild girl, but also like a boy, and he will not be pleased.

The next morning, Shen Ping brought Xu Feng with her to buy her a few sets of women's clothes. Shen Ping planned to let her wear women's clothes again in the next few days.

I need to start getting used to wearing women's clothes and not always wear men's clothes. Besides, I am preparing to talk to the emperor about this.

Ling and Liang Fu went out to gather information. These days they have been trying to find out where their family members are being held.

Shen Ping took Xu Feng, Cuihong and Cui Feng on a carriage and came to Mr. Liu's shop. Mr. Liu was not at home today and had just gone out, leaving Taohua and a woman to look after the shop.

Seeing Madam Shen coming, Taohua was delighted. Mr. Liu had told her that if Madam Shen came, she must take good care of her.

Taohua didn't understand why Mr. Liu, a big businessman, would be so respectful to a woman.

After Mr. Liu's explanation, Taohua realized that most of their goods were purchased from Madam Shen's workshop.

Not only that, but Madam Shen is a widow who started from scratch and opened several workshops in the village. She made all kinds of novel products and their business was pretty good.

For this, Taohua admires Shen Ping from the bottom of her heart.

"Madam Shen, I've finally seen you here." Taohua said with a smile.

Ever since Shen Ping made a few cotton pieces for her last time, she hasn’t been seen visiting since. Tao Huaer even thought she had gone back to be the prefect.

"Miss Taohua, I'm here to take care of your business again today." Shen Ping said with a smile as she came in, and asked Taohua to pick out a few sets of women's clothing for Xu Feng according to his height.

Taohua looked at Xu Feng, who was dressed like a boy, and wondered, "Isn't the girl in front of me a boy? Why did Madam Shen buy her women's clothes?"

Not only Taohua found it strange, but Cuihong was also confused. Cuihong glanced at Shen Ping, then at Xu Feng, her face full of questions.

Taohua didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was none of her business, so she just ignored it. Besides, others were still there to buy things.

After confirming that Shen Ping really wanted women's clothing, Taohua took out several sets of fine cotton dresses in different colors.

They are pink, lake blue, goose yellow, and lotus root pink. Taohua introduced these to Shen Ping in high-end dresses made of superior fabrics.

"Xu Feng, which color do you like? Which set do you want?" Shen Ping looked at the clothes carefully and found that the styles were very novel.

Shen Ping couldn't help but nod secretly. She didn't expect that the capital city was different.

The style of this dress is also better looking. It seems that I should ask Erya to revise it based on this and design more new products after I go back.

The skirt looks quite decent and ladylike, but there are a few small flowers on the side as embellishments, which makes it look different immediately, ladylike and playful.

"Madam, are you sure you want to buy a skirt for Xu Feng? Xu Feng is a boy," Cuihong asked, scratching her head with a puzzled look on her face.

What surprised her was that Xu Feng didn't say anything when he heard her question. It seemed that there was a tacit understanding between Shen Ping and Xu Feng.

Cuihong and Cuifeng looked at each other, and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

"Sister Cuihong, what's going on?" Cui Feng asked in a low voice.

Cuihong shook her head. She didn't know either. But now it seemed that the Madam and Young Master Xu must be hiding something from her.

But since the lady didn't say anything, she was too embarrassed to ask again, after all, she was just a servant.

After asking about the prices, I learned that some of these dresses cost nearly one or two taels of silver per set, while some cost two taels of silver.

Xu Feng opened his eyes wide in shock and waved his hands repeatedly: "This skirt is so expensive, I don't want it, and I don't have the money to buy it."

“I want all of these!”

Seeing that Xu Feng didn't pick any, Shen Ping took all the skirts that Taohua took out without thinking.

Originally, Shen Ping wanted Xu Feng to try on the clothes, but she refused to do so, so Shen Ping had to give up.

"Okay! Madam Shen is really straightforward!" Taohua smiled and said, "How about this, since the master is not here, I'll make the decision. I'll round off the price for you and make it an integer. These four sets of clothes will cost a total of six taels of silver."

Shen Ping took out a purse from her sleeve, counted out six taels of silver and handed it over: "You count it."

Taohua took the silver, weighed it, and said with a smile, "Madam Shen, if it doesn't fit, remember to bring it back and change it later. Just don't get it dirty."

Before leaving, Taohua brought over two pink silk flowers and said they were free gifts for Xu Feng.

Xu Feng took the silk flower with an embarrassed look on his face, and stuffed it into Cuihong's pocket: "Sister Cuihong, this silk flower is for you."

Cuihong looked at Shen Ping: "Madam~"

Shen Ping knew what Cuihong meant. She didn't dare to take it because she was asking for her opinion.

Shen Ping nodded: "Xu Feng gave it to you, just take it, and you and Cui Feng will each have one later!"

Xu Feng has been wearing men's clothes for ten years. It will not be easy for her to change her style overnight.

Right now, the first thing she has to do is to wear women's clothes again. Once she gets used to women's clothes, jewelry, silk flowers and so on, then it will become natural.

After hearing Shen Ping's words, Cuihong dared to accept it.
