The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

The Qin family runs a good business in the capital, and all of their shops are located in the most prosperous areas.

This jade shop alone takes up half of the street.

In an ordinary shop, the goods are displayed as soon as you enter the door.

However, this shop only has a reception area after entering the door, and no merchandise is displayed.

There are several elegant compartments inside the shop, and you can't see what's inside from the outside.

Jade shops do business with regular customers, and it is most important that customers can feel the dignity and privacy of the experience.

The distinguished guests sit in the private room, and the shopkeeper will select the most suitable jade for them to appreciate according to their preferences and tastes.

As soon as Gu Mingzhao and Qin Xiaoxiao arrived, they were invited by the waiter into the innermost private room.

"Miss Qin, the white jade bed is too precious and is stored separately in the warehouse. Only the shopkeeper has the key. He is receiving other guests. You and this gentleman can take a rest. When the shopkeeper is done with his work, he will take you there." The clerk said respectfully.

"You go ahead and do your work, we'll just wait."

Qin Xiaoxiao and Gu Mingzhao sat there drinking tea, and no one spoke.

The sound of conversation from the private room next door could be heard.

"Qu Yao, Wang Tingzhi has been back for so long, why don't you go to see him? Didn't you two have a good relationship in the past?" a man asked.

"What's so good about it? He's blind. He won't be the same kind of person as us anymore. It will only irritate him if you go to see it." Another female voice was heard.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are so heartless. I thought you liked him."

"Don't talk nonsense, Wang Tingzhi and I are just good brothers." Qu Yao retorted.

"It's better to stay away from him. He was just the second son. He finally achieved fame and success, but now he's blind. There's no future for him."

"After all, it's the Wang family who's worried about him, and we as friends can't help much."

"By the way, I heard that the Wang family hasn't given up yet and is trying to arrange a marriage for him. Qu Yao, have they approached your family?"

"Of course I did. How could my dad agree to it? He found an excuse to help me reject it." Qu Yao's tone was full of disdain.

"As he is now, even concubines from wealthy families are unwilling to marry him. Only the Wang family still cannot face reality and thinks he is still a popular man."

"Alright, alright, forget about him. It's unlucky. What do you think of this jade pendant?"

Qin Xiaoxiao was furious when she heard this. She rushed to the private room next door and snatched the jade pendant from Qu Yao's hand without saying a word.

"I'm not selling this piece of jade!" Qin Xiaoxiao said.

"Who are you! How could you be so rude!" Qu Yao was startled by her and said angrily.

The shopkeeper looked left and right, then smiled and said, "Miss Qu, this is our boss. She wants to give this jade to you!"

After explaining to Qu Yao, he whispered to Qin Xiaoxiao: "Shopkeeper, this is the daughter of Langya Wu'an Marquis Mansion, we can't offend her..."

"What is the Wu'an Marquisate? It's just a rural marquisate. The title is almost gone after this generation, and they are still talking about the Wang family behind their backs."

Qu Yao was stunned for a moment, then stood up and yelled: "You are a business woman, how dare you be so rude! I will smash your mouth!"

The shopkeeper didn't dare to offend either side, so he stood between the two of them with his fat body and took the slap from Qu Yao.

"Ms. Qu, I apologize to you on behalf of the boss. Why don't you go back first? I will personally deliver the item you like to your house later!"

"I don't want you to apologize! I want her to kneel down and apologize to me! Now, immediately, right now!" Qu Yao roared.

Qin Xiaoxiao did not back down either: "Who told you to give the things to her? You are not allowed to do business with her in the future. She is not welcome in any of the Qin family's shops!"

"Believe it or not, I will smash your shop right now!"

Before she finished her words, she swung her hand and dropped a colorful glazed vase heavily, and the crisp sound of shattering echoed in the room.

"presumptuous!"

Suddenly, a majestic and cold question came from outside the door, like the water in a cold pond, instantly freezing the surrounding air.

King Qin Gu Mingzhao was walking slowly towards them.

When Qu Yao saw him, she immediately put on a charming smile: "Your Highness Prince Qin, what a coincidence, why are you here?"

Gu Mingzhao snorted coldly: "Someone wants to smash my shop, so I naturally want to come and see who is so bold."

"So this is your shop, Your Highness." Qu Yao pointed at Qin Xiaoxiao and said, "So this is your shop, Your Highness. What a misunderstanding. This woman pretended to be the owner. She must have bad intentions. I was just about to teach her a lesson for Your Highness!"

Gu Mingzhao glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao and asked, "What did she do?"

"She wants to drive me away and says she won't sell me anything here. Isn't this a sincere attempt to cut off your highness's source of income?"

"Are you going to chase her away?" Gu Mingzhao asked.

Qin Xiaoxiao's face was calm, and she said calmly: "That's right."

Gu Mingzhao spread his hands and said, "In that case, Miss Qu, please go back."

Qu Yao was stunned: "Your Highness, you must have made a mistake. She was impersonating me. I was teaching her a lesson for you!"

Gu Mingzhao said: "Ms. Qu, my sister asked you to leave, you should have heard it."

"Sister?" Qu Yao's face froze and she repeated it stutteringly.

"That's right, Qin Xiaoxiao is my adopted sister, and what she said is what I meant. I just heard that you wanted to beat my sister and smash my shop?"

Qu Yao turned pale instantly and waved her hands to deny it: "It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding... I'm leaving now."

She turned around in a hurry, trying to escape.

Gu Mingzhao said calmly: "Ms. Qu, wait a minute."

Qu Yao stopped and looked at Gu Mingzhao anxiously.

Gu Mingzhao said calmly: "Since Miss Qu has damaged my vase, please settle the bill."

Qu Yao's face changed. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he did not dare to disobey the King of Qin's order. He had to pay the bill in disgrace and leave in embarrassment.

"When did I become your sister?"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Mingzhao in confusion, not understanding his intention.

"Your father gave me so many businesses and shops, so I naturally have to repay the Qin family."

After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao's heart moved.

Thinking about what Qu Yao and the others had just said, the Wang family was still arranging a marriage for Wang Tingzhi.

She said to Gu Mingzhao, "Your Highness once said that you are willing to lend me a helping hand. I wonder if this still counts?"

Gu Mingzhao raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you want to do?"

"I want to marry Wang Tingzhi as your sister."

"Good, you finally got it. You dare to take the initiative on your own. That's progress."

Qin Xiaoxiao's cheeks turned slightly red and she didn't respond.

"Since you have made up your mind, after I get married, I will find the Wang family to propose marriage for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Qin Xiaoxiao said.

The shopkeeper took them to see the white jade bed.

The white jade bed is as fine as solidified fat, emitting a faint luster all over.

When you put your fingertips on it, it will feel cool at first, but will soon warm up, just like soaking in a hot spring, making you feel very comfortable.

Gu Mingzhao was very satisfied with the bed and arranged for the shopkeeper to deliver it to the Prince Qin's Palace today.
