Ye Yunzi walked into the living room and said, "Miss Rong's visit is really unexpected."

Upon seeing this, the eldest lady made an excuse to leave, leaving the two of them to talk alone.

Ye Yunzi sat on a chair to one side. Rong Wanling restrained her usual arrogance and said with a gentle smile: "Miss Ye, I came to apologize for almost accidentally shooting you with an arrow at the Duke's Mansion yesterday."

Apologize?

Ye Yunzi was surprised because Rong Wanling had always been arrogant and rarely admitted her mistakes to others.

Rong Wanling's expression seemed very sincere. "I was indeed impolite yesterday. Please don't mind, Miss Ye."

Ye Yunzi lowered her eyes and said nothing, just sipping her tea quietly.

Rong Wanling stared at Ye Yunzi for a moment, then suggested: "To express my apology, I should have given her a gift, but I don't know what Miss Ye likes, and I'm afraid ordinary gifts won't be acceptable to her, so I would like to invite you to go to Zhuchaifang together."

Ye Yunzi raised her eyes when she heard this and caught a glimpse of the fleeting weirdness on Rong Wanling's face.

She gently stroked the rim of the teacup.

"I heard that Zhuchaifang has just received a batch of fashionable jewelry. I want to pick one for Miss Ye." Rong Wanling added with a smile, as if the previous haze had never appeared.

Ye Yunzi refused directly, thinking that less trouble is worse than more trouble. "Don't bother," she said calmly, "I am very grateful that Miss Rong came to apologize in person, and I will not pursue it too much."

"How can that be possible!" Rong Wanling's heart tightened, "Miss Ye, isn't this looking down on the Duke's Mansion? If I refuse to accept the gift, doesn't that mean I still have a grudge against you?"

"That's not the case." Ye Yunzi shook her head and was about to refuse again, but Rong Wanling stood up and said, "It's settled. We'll go to Zhuchaifang now." There was a hint of urgency in her tone.

Ye Yunzi frowned slightly, thinking that Rong Wanling must have some plan, but she didn't know what it was. In the end, she agreed to accompany her to Zhuchaifang to look at the jewelry.

Rong Wanling had made preparations and arranged for the carriage to stop outside the mansion, and seemed to attach great importance to this trip. This made Ye Yunzi even more suspicious, so she decided to take Leng Xue with her, just in case.

The carriage slowly drove towards Zhuchaifang, and Rong Wanling had a satisfied smile on her face. Soon after, the carriage stopped in front of the shop, where several noble ladies were already selecting newly arrived jewelry.

"What style does Miss Ye like?" Rong Wanling took Ye Yunzi's arm and walked into the store. Faced with so many exquisite hairpins and headdresses, she seemed to be choosing carefully.

Ye Yunzi looked down and decided to pick one at random, not wanting to have too much interaction with Rong Wanling. "How about this one?" Rong Wanling held up a silver butterfly hairpin and moved it slightly. Four butterflies danced as if alive. It would definitely attract attention when worn.

Ye Yunzi nodded gently, "Very good."

"This hairpin is not bad." Rong Wanling's behavior at this moment made her confused. Did she really come to apologize today?

Rong Wanling's eyes fell on a golden hairpin inlaid with a cloud and phoenix pattern. The glittering golden hairpin was intricately carved, and the phoenix was lifelike, as if it would fly out of the hairpin at any time, which was fascinating.

Looking at the golden hairpin, Rong Wanling's smile became even brighter. She pulled Ye Yunzi aside, pointed at the Yunfeng golden hairpin and asked, "How about this hairpin?"

They had been in the store for a long time, and Ye Yunzi was about to pick something and leave, so she replied perfunctorily, "Very good."

"Okay, that's it." Rong Wanling said with a smile, "Buddy!"

"Miss Rong." The owner of Zhuchaifang came forward hurriedly, not daring to neglect the daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

"I want to buy this gold hairpin and give it to Miss Ye. Please pack it up and send it to the Su Mansion." Rong Wanling said lightly.

The boss seemed a little embarrassed: "Miss, this gold hairpin has been reserved. Please take a look at the others. We have many new headwear styles in our store."

"What? Someone has already reserved it?" Rong Wanling's face flashed with surprise, and her brows were furrowed. "But Miss Ye likes this gold hairpin. I must buy it for her. I can offer a higher price."

"Miss Rong, this..." The boss shook his head, a helpless expression on his face, "This gold hairpin has really been reserved."

"I'm willing to pay any price as long as I can get this golden hairpin!" Rong Wanling turned to Ye Yunzi and said with a firm attitude, "Miss Ye, please rest assured. If it's something you like, I will definitely buy it for you."

Rong Wanling's behavior seemed a little abnormal.

Ye Yunzi frowned slightly, her eyes falling on the golden hairpin with cloud and phoenix pattern.

She hadn't looked at it carefully just now, but only now realized that this gold hairpin was unusual, because the dragon and phoenix pattern was a symbol of the royal family, and the person who could use this pattern must be extraordinary.

It seemed inappropriate that Rong Wanling was so insistent on buying this gold hairpin.

Just when Ye Yunzi was about to refuse, Rong Wanling spoke up again: "Boss, just name a price. I'm willing to pay more. I'll buy anything Miss Ye likes."

Although Rong Wanling claimed that it was for Ye Yunzi, her words put all the responsibility on Ye Yunzi.

Ye Yunzi's heart trembled, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she understood Rong Wanling's intention.

"Ms. Rong, please don't make things difficult for me. This hairpin has really been reserved." The boss said with difficulty. He felt very embarrassed facing such an unreasonable customer.

"Who made the reservation?" Rong Wanling snorted coldly, "Is there anyone who dares to compete with the young lady of the Su Mansion for something?"

The boss broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and didn't dare to reveal the identity of the buyer behind the scenes because that person had warned him many times not to leak the information.

"Hmph!" Rong Wanling directly picked up the wooden box containing the golden hairpin and stuffed it into Ye Yunzi's hand. "Since you are unwilling to tell me, I will treat it as ownerless. As for the money, go to the Duke's Mansion to ask for it."

After saying that, she smiled at Ye Yunzi and said, "Miss Ye, I have already bought the gold hairpin you like. Just consider it as my apology to you."

This golden hairpin was obviously a trouble. Rong Wanling couldn't wait to hand it to Ye Yunzi, which showed that what she guessed was mostly true.

"I appreciate Miss Rong's kindness, but this gold hairpin... I'm afraid I can't accept it." Ye Yunzi said as she was about to put the hairpin back.

The boss watched this scene nervously, worried that the golden hairpin that took a month to make would be forcibly taken away, which would cause dissatisfaction from the adult behind the scenes.

"What's so unacceptable about this?" Rong Wanling grabbed Ye Yunzi's hand forcefully and stuffed the wooden box into her hand, not letting her let go. "I promised to apologize, and I will do what I say. It's just a gold hairpin. Since Miss Ye likes it, I will naturally buy it for you."

A pretty young woman walked into the store, her eyes revealing a shrewd look that comes from having experienced much of the world.
