"My Lord! My Lord! My Lord, spare my life!"

Zhou Pei begged for mercy with his last bit of strength, but King Xuan ignored him and allowed the guards to drag Zhou Pei away.

The guards threw Zhou Pei, who was covered in wounds, onto the street and turned back to the mansion.

Zhou Pei looked around and did not see any of his servants coming to support him. Instead, he saw people passing by giving him strange looks.

After all, at this moment, Zhou Pei looked like a Yaksha who was seeking death, and anyone who saw him would have to avoid him.

After waiting for a while, there was still no sign of anyone, so Zhou Pei had to struggle to get up from the ground. However, just as he tried to stand, he felt a piercing pain in his broken leg.

After standing for only a moment, Zhou Pei couldn't hold on any longer and knelt down again.

When Zhou Pei returned to his residence with a lame leg and wounds all over his body, he found that all the servants in the mansion had run away.

Along with the servants, all the valuable items in the Zhou mansion also disappeared.

Zhou Pei had no idea that after he was called away by the people from Prince Xuan's Palace that night, Dian Xue, following Zhao Huayin's instructions, passed a message to Zhou Pei's servant, asking him to run away quickly and also gave him the silver and money that had been promised to him long ago.

After getting the money, the servant took advantage of Zhou Pei being still in Prince Xuan's mansion and ran back to Zhou's mansion to pack up his gold and silver and prepare to run away.

When the servants in Zhou's house saw him like this, they all asked him the reason. The servant then told them that Zhou Pei would not come back, and that everyone should take this opportunity to get their indentures and pursue their own careers!

When everyone heard this, and saw that the servants around Zhou Pei were packing up the things in Zhou's mansion, they did not suspect anything and took up all the things in Zhou's mansion and fled like birds and beasts.

In his previous life, all the servants in the mansion were under the management of Zhao Huayin. Zhou Pei never knew how to control them. There was not even a manager in this Zhou mansion.

When the master was away, the servants dared to take the master's things and run away. It was really ridiculous.

Zhou Pei looked at the empty house, wanting to cry but unable to. At this moment, all the pain and fatigue in his body surged up at once, and he had no choice but to sit down on the ground.

"girl!"

Zhao Huayin was putting on her makeup when Liuyun came running over with a happy look on her face.

"Zhou Pei was thrown out by the guards of Prince Xuan's mansion. When he limped back to the mansion, the servants had already scattered. I guess he was crying in an empty house at this moment!"

"King Xuan didn't kill him, but let him go back to his own residence?"

“He wasn’t beaten to death, but everyone who passed by the gate of Prince Xuan’s mansion this morning saw that Zhou Pei was thrown out with blood all over his face. And his leg, which used to be a little lame when he walked, is now completely lame.

But King Xuan probably still spared his life out of consideration for their relationship as master and servant to Zhou Pei."

Zhao Huayin smiled. With King Xuan's vengeful temper, he would definitely not let Zhou Pei go just like that.

"Don't worry about them for now. King Xuan will take care of Zhou Pei. I guess King Xuan doesn't have the energy to do anything else during this period. As for Yu Ying'er, Concubine Fang will take care of her. We just have to wait and see."

"Yes, young lady. Master Yan and the Jin brothers and sisters will be back today. We still have to prepare for the opening of Yunshangfang."

Snow reminder.

Zhao Huayin nodded.

"Brother Yan and Brother Jin have been working hard outside these days, especially A-Yu, a girl, who has to run around with them. Let's go to Tianxiang Tower early and prepare the food."

"Yes, young lady. The carriage must be ready. Shall we go now, or after breakfast?"

"Go and tell my parents that I won't be with them today. I'll go to Tianxiang Tower for breakfast."

Dianxue took the order and went out. Zhao Huayin took a small box from the inner room and then went out.

Zhao Huayin decided on the lunch dishes at Tianxiang Tower, and then went to Yunshangfang.

Nanny Qian was directing everyone to check the items needed for tomorrow's opening. When she saw Zhao Huayin come in, she greeted her with a happy face.

"Why are you free to come here today, girl?"

"Tomorrow is the 28th. I should come and see if everything is ready."

"My lady, everything is ready. I am checking it with them one last time. There will be no mistakes when we open the shop tomorrow. Don't worry, my lady."

"With Madam taking care of me, I have nothing to worry about."

As they were talking, the two walked inside, and Zhao Huayin saw that Nanny Qian had hung up all the embroidered patterns she had made.

Different from other display stands that are placed there and not move, the ones that Aunt Qian had made can be rotated. People standing in one place only need to gently turn the display stand to see all the designs on it at a glance.

The most eye-catching thing is the pattern of a phoenix rising from the ashes on the second floor. Aunt Qian actually found a glass cover from somewhere and placed the pattern in the middle of the glass cover.

At this moment, sunlight was shining through the window onto the glass cover, and the phoenix rising from the fire suddenly became radiant and colorful.

Zhao Huayin's embroidery made the phoenix come alive, and coupled with the colorful light of the sun, it seemed as if the phoenix would fly away at any time.

Everyone present was stunned. After a while, Zhao Huayin finally asked,

"The colored glaze cover is extremely rare. I wonder where Madam Ma found it. Thank you for your hard work."

"Miss, you are too kind. The prince once told me to fetch and bring over anything you may need from the storeroom in the palace.

That day the girl ordered someone to bring the phoenix to me, and I was amazed at her craftsmanship. The most amazing thing was that the phoenix was embroidered on both sides.

I was thinking about how to show both sides. After thinking hard, I remembered that a Persian merchant once gave the prince a glass cover.

If you put your embroidery in this glass cover, everyone will be able to see how superb your skills are. But I never thought that this glass cover would produce such a wonderful sight under the sun. "

After hearing Nanny talk about Yan Qi's instructions, Zhao Huayin's heart softened. It made him think about his own affairs all the time.

"Madam, you are very thoughtful. This colored glass cover is really a great choice for this place. I will thank your prince in the future for his thoughtfulness."

Zhao Huayin looked around Yunshangfang from top to bottom and found that Nanny Qian's arrangements were indeed very appropriate.

After checking everywhere, Zhao Huayin opened the small box she had brought out this morning and handed it to Nanny Qian.

"Mammy, there are some small things in this box. When you give out money for the grand opening tomorrow, you can scatter these among the crowd. Whoever picks up one will own it."

Nanny Qian took the box and looked at it carefully. Inside the box were all kinds of delicate and exquisite embroideries, including small sachets, fan pendants, purses...all of them were exquisite.

"Good, good, good, Madam Qian said three good words in a row. Whoever has snatched the young lady's embroidery will definitely come to our Yunshangfang to buy it. Such exquisite things can't be seen anywhere else."

Nanny Qian was smiling happily, as if someone was already rushing to buy them.

While the two were talking, one of them dismounted from his horse at the entrance of Yunshangfang and walked straight in.

"Brother Yan!"

After seeing who was coming, Zhao Huayin said in surprise.

"You came at the perfect time. Today we will take some time to fix up the mess. Tomorrow is the day Yunshangfang will open for business."

After saying that, Zhao Huayin looked behind Yan Zhao again.

"Don't look at it, Miss. Brother Jin and Miss Ayu did not come back together this time."
