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

In the past, Liao Qinglan liked to go to the Brocade Pavilion to buy cloth.

But the fabrics in the Brocade Pavilion are colorful, intricate and gorgeous, and every piece of fabric contains endless luxury and wealth.

To Gu Mingzhao, it seemed too ostentatious and frivolous, which was incompatible with his temperament.

Therefore, Liao Qinglan changed to another store known for its elegance and grace - Qingfeng Pavilion.

The fabrics of Qingfeng Pavilion are simple and elegant, with soft colors and light texture. Most of them are solid colors or patterns of landscapes, flowers and birds, which attract scholars to compete for them.

When I arrived at the entrance of Qingfeng Pavilion, I unexpectedly ran into An Linglong at the door of the store.

"Liao Qinglan, you've followed me all the way here?" An Linglong said proudly, "I heard that my second cousin has ignored you recently. It's too late for you to regret it now. I won't say anything good for you."

Liao Qinglan felt very unlucky and wanted to leave, but Gu Mingzhao had already entered the shop.

She had no choice but to follow.

An Linglong's maid whispered, "What bad luck! I run into her even when I'm out shopping happily."

An Linglong didn't feel unlucky. Instead, her hands were shaking with excitement: "It's just right that she's here. I'm going to pay her back double for how she humiliated me last time!"

Gu Mingzhao, Liao Qinglan and An Linglong entered the store almost at the same time.

"Miss An, you're here!" The shopkeeper immediately went to greet the guest upon seeing her coming.

The shopkeeper is the younger brother of the housekeeper of the An family. During this period, Miss An has been taking care of his business frequently. When he saw An Linglong, he smiled like a flower.

He naturally saw that there were two other people next to them, but Gu Mingzhao was dressed in coarse linen clothes and looked poor, so the shopkeeper didn't bother to pay attention to them.

"Go and show me the new cloth you have brought into your shop."

The shopkeeper did not dare to delay and immediately ordered two employees to go to the warehouse to fetch the goods.

An Linglong was the shopkeeper's distinguished guest, and the other employees were also very attentive, serving her tea and water and handing her cushions.

An Linglong was very arrogant: "Where's your broken seal? Why don't you take it out and show it off?"

Liao Qinglan turned a deaf ear to him and just wanted to finish her shopping quickly and leave.

She pointed at Gu Mingzhao and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, I want to buy two pieces of cloth that are elegant and pure to make two sets of clothes for him. Bring me some nice ones so I can choose."

"The cloths are all there, you can choose one yourself." The shopkeeper rolled his eyes at Gu Mingzhao and replied with a snort.

As soon as An Linglong entered the room, she noticed Gu Mingzhao's handsome face. With a sarcastic smile on her face, she said to Liao Qinglan, "Why, you can't even get close to my cousin, so now you're willing to be lowly and hang out with a poor scholar?"

Liao Qinglan could ignore her, but she couldn't tolerate her saying Gu Mingzhao: "Mr. Gu is my teacher, so be more respectful with your words."

An Linglong smiled contemptuously: "Master? I can't tell how educated he is, but I can see that he looks good. He can't be the kind of master who takes care of Miss Liao's daily life."

Liao Qinglan already hated An Linglong, and now she was even more furious when she heard her insulting herself and Gu Mingzhao like this.

"Snapped!"

The loud slap not only stunned An Linglong, but also shocked everyone present.

A red mark instantly appeared on An Linglong's cheek. Her eyes widened and her face turned from red to white, and then from white to blue.

"You...you dare to hit me!" An Linglong's voice trembled, full of anger and disbelief.

She pointed at Liao Qinglan, turned to the shopkeeper, and said in a sharp and harsh voice: "Did you see that? How dare she hit me here! Get her and her pretty boy out right now!"

The shopkeeper didn't know Liao Qinglan at all. He only knew that An Linglong was a royal relative and he couldn't afford to offend her. He was afraid that if he handled the matter slowly, the noble would be unhappy.

"Did you hear me? Get out of here now. You are not welcome in our store!" The shopkeeper waved his hand and drove away Liao Qinglan and the other two like flies.

"That's right, you dare to come into our store to look at the fabrics even though you are wearing such tattered clothes."

"Why don't you ask about the price of Qingfeng Pavilion and whether you are worthy of it?"

The other guys also cursed Liao Qinglan one after another, venting their anger for An Linglong.

Liao Qinglan couldn't help but find it funny: "An Linglong spoke rudely first, but you pretended not to hear anything. You only saw me slap her?"

The shopkeeper was very shameless: "Who do you think you are? How dare you fight with Miss An! If you are innocent, why would you care what others say?"

With someone to back her up, An Linglong became even more arrogant, covering her mouth with her hands in an exaggerated manner and exclaiming, "Could it be that I really said something right and you are so angry out of shame!"

"An Linglong, you are becoming more and more outrageous." Liao Qinglan's face was gloomy, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense, apologize to Miss An immediately, and get out of here! Otherwise, don't even think about leaving our store today!"

"I apologize to you? Can you bear it?" Liao Qinglan felt as if she had heard a huge joke.

She had been standing near the store entrance, but when the shopkeeper uttered the threatening words, she walked in and sat down gracefully and calmly.

Her eyes swept over everyone present, finally stopping on the shopkeeper's face.

"You don't want to let me out, Jinxiu?" Liao Qinglan called out.

"The servant is here."

"Go and invite Qinghe." Liao Qinglan ordered calmly.

"Yes."

Liao Qinglan's clear voice echoed in the room, and Jinxiu took the order and went out.

The shopkeeper, who had just threatened Liao Qinglan not to leave safely, did not dare to stop Jinxiu.

The shopkeeper's face turned pale at this moment.

Princess Qinghe is the daughter of Marquis Anyuan and the eldest princess, and is also the real owner behind this store.

Liao Qinglan could actually call Princess Qinghe by her name! It seemed like they had a very special relationship.

The shopkeeper then realized that he might have offended a big shot whom he shouldn't have offended.

An Linglong didn't know that Princess Qinghe was the real owner of the store, nor did she notice that the shopkeeper's face had changed. She continued to speak rudely: "What's the point of asking for help? Everyone saw that you were the first to start the fight. It's useless no matter who you ask for help."

Liao Qinglan stood up, raised her hand, and slapped her again.

"Make it more symmetrical, it will look much better." Liao Qinglan rubbed his hands and said casually.

An Linglong was so angry that she wanted to rush over to fight back, but Gu Mingzhao's tall body blocked An Linglong.

He is tall and straight, with an awe-inspiring presence, giving people an insurmountable sense of oppression.

An Linglong was intimidated by Gu Mingzhao's aura and stopped involuntarily.

His face, twisted by extreme anger, was filled with unwillingness, but under Gu Mingzhao's stern gaze, he dared not move.

She glared at the shopkeeper: "What are you still standing there for! Get started!"

The shopkeeper was completely panicked at this time. He knew that this conflict was beyond his control, and tried to calm the situation before Princess Qinghe arrived: "Miss An, Miss Liao, calm down, let's talk it over..."

Liao Qinglan interrupted him: "No need to say more, I fought today if I wanted to, this is between me and An Linglong. But your hospitality is really eye-opening for me, boss. Since you are unwilling to let me go, let's wait for Qinghe to come and let her give an explanation."

After saying that, Liao Qinglan no longer paid attention to anyone, and sat there calmly with her eyes closed to rest.

An Linglong stood there, shaking with anger, but she was unable to step over Gu Mingzhao to take action.

The shopkeeper was extremely anxious, not knowing how the situation would end.
