Liu Yanyan smiled and walked forward with Yuzhu Yuzhen. They came to a jewelry store that looked very old. Just as she was about to walk in, she heard Lin Rou's weird voice in her ears, "Who is this? Who did I think she was? It turned out to be my former sister-in-law! How could she fall into such a state and buy jewelry? She is so pitiful. She has fallen into such a state. It seems that the Duke's Mansion is in trouble!"

Liu Yanyan frowned and wanted to scold her, but when she turned around and saw a few inconspicuous blisters on Lin Rou's hands, she subconsciously took a step back. She knew what this was. This was retribution. It was what she deserved. Bah.

Lin Rou didn't know what Liu Yanyan was thinking. When she saw Liu Yanyan retreating, she thought she was scared. Then she said arrogantly, "County Princess Liu has fallen into poverty now! Why is the Duke's Mansion so poor? Do you need my help? I'll be kind today." After saying that, she took out a tael of silver from her bosom and pretended to throw it to Liu Yanyan. "Give you silver? Hahahaha, you wish. Hahaha, I would rather throw it to a beggar than to you. What do you think? Are you angry? It's right to be angry."

Yuzhu and Yuzhen wanted to step forward and hit Lin Rou, but were stopped by Liu Yanyan, who said, "No need to bother with a concubine who is not presentable. Let's go quickly." Then she pulled the two of them into the jewelry store.

Lin Rou looked at Liu Yanyan with a broken heart. Thinking about how she was being escorted by her aunt and the government office had submitted a document to take a concubine, she felt very anxious and yelled behind her, "Liu Yanyan, who are you talking about? Who is a concubine? I am brother Beichen's second wife. I am brother Beichen's wife. I am a wife, how can I be a concubine? Explain it to me clearly." After saying that, she was about to grab Liu Yanyan.

He was stopped by the servant who came rushing over and knocked to the ground with a slap. "Who gave you the courage to be so presumptuous in front of the county lady? You are so shameless. The general's mansion is really uneducated. They let all kinds of dogs out." The servant continued to curse.

Liu Yanyan stepped back in disdain, looked at the servant and said, "Let's go. Don't bother with irrelevant people, lest you get your hands dirty."

The servant nodded respectfully and then let go of Lin Rou who was under his feet.

Liu Yanyan sighed and glanced at the jewelry shop, but the people inside already knew her identity, so she could only take a few people to the next shop.

After Liu Yanyan walked away, Lin Rou could still be heard shouting in dissatisfaction, "Liu Yanyan, why, why do you live better than me? You should be the same as me."

Liu Yanyan ignored him. When the servant came over, she glanced at him from a distance and said seriously, "Go back to the servants' room and change your clothes. Burn the clothes you changed. Go back and take a bath inside and out. Boil the bath water with strong liquor and then pour it out."

The servant didn't understand what was going on, but when he heard what the young lady said, he became serious. It seemed that the matter was very serious, so he went straight into the mansion.

Liu Yanyan watched the servant walk away before continuing her shopping with everyone.

Yuzhu asked fearfully, "Miss, why did you let the servant burn your clothes?"

Liu Yanyan looked around and sighed softly, "It's nothing, it's just that everything related to the General's Mansion feels dirty to me. Wait for the servant to clean up, and remember to give his reward to him when you return home." Their retribution has come!

Yuzhu nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, miss." If the lady didn't want to say it, she wouldn't ask.

Liu Yanyan found a small silver shop on the corner of the street. The outside looked old, but it seemed to be very clean. Inside were all silver jewelry, but the styles were a bit old-fashioned and not delicate enough, but at least they were thick.

Liu Yanyan walked in and saw an honest man sitting behind the counter, fiddling with the abacus beads. When the man saw Liu Yanyan and the others, he stood up and greeted them, "Girls, what do you need? All the jewelry here is real and good!"

Liu Yanyan frowned and picked up a silver hairpin with tree branch pattern and said, "How much is this pure silver hairpin?"

The man glanced at the jewelry and said calmly, "This hairpin weighs 2 taels of silver. One tael of silver costs 50 wen for the workmanship. This hairpin costs 2 wen for 100 taels of silver."

Yuzhu said, "Can't it be less?"

"Miss, this hairpin cannot be sold for less. This is the lowest price. If you buy it from other stores, you will have to pay at least 200 more coins for this hairpin."

When Liu Yanyan saw that Yuzhu couldn't bargain down the price, she didn't signal Yuzhu to continue bargaining. Instead, she nodded and said, "Yuzhu, give me the money." After that, she picked up the hairpin and put it on her head.

Yuzhu nodded, took out the silver and handed it to the man.

Liu Yanyan was so happy that the branches and leaves on the hairpin on her head swayed, looking very cute.

Yuzhu followed behind and looked at the young lady. She couldn't help but curl her lips. It's so nice of the young lady to be like this.

Liu Yanyan brought a few people to a very small restaurant. It was a very clean shop. When they walked in, they saw a fair-skinned proprietress who was wiping the table with a rag. When she saw them come in, she hurried forward and greeted them, "Dear guests, please come this way." After that, she carefully wiped the table again.

Liu Yanyan nodded, and pulled Yuzhu and Yuzhen to sit on the chairs beside the table.

Yuzhu and Yuzhen were nervous. They pinched the corners of their clothes and fidgeted. This was their first time sitting at the same table with the host, and they couldn't hide their nervousness.

Liu Yanyan glanced at them, and the two of them sat still and stopped moving.

The proprietress was also very smart. She knew who was in charge at a glance. She walked to Liu Yanyan seductively and said, "Girl, what do you want to eat? I have all the home-cooked dishes here. Just tell me what you want to eat."

It was Liu Yanyan's first time to eat at such a small restaurant. She glanced at the proprietress uncomfortably, and seeing that her clothes were clean, she said, "Just serve us a few of your signature dishes."

The proprietress smiled and said, "Since there are only three of you, two dishes will be enough. One is a big vermicelli stew with meat and the other is stir-fried pickled cabbage. What do you think?"

Liu Yanyan nodded in agreement. After all, she had never eaten it before and didn't know what it tasted like. It would be okay to try it! After all, the store looked very clean.

After the proprietress memorized the dishes, she turned around and shouted to the kitchen, "One large vermicelli stew with meat, one stir-fried pickled cabbage, and rice for three people."

A voice came from the kitchen: “Come on.”

This was the first time Liu Yanyan saw this situation. She raised her hand to cover her lips, fearing that she would not be able to hold back her laughter.

Yuzhu and Yuzhen were not surprised at all and their expressions did not change at all.

While Liu Yanyan was stunned, the proprietress came over with a large pot of tea, placed a few earthenware bowls on the table, and poured tea into them. She smiled and said, "It will take a while. Please wait a moment."

Liu Yanyan nodded, watched the proprietress leave, then looked at the earthenware bowl and asked, "Yuzhu, how do you drink this?"

Yuzhu was puzzled, but still said, "Miss, just drink it directly." Then she held the ceramic bowl with both hands and took a sip.

Liu Yanyan nodded, held the tea bowl and tried to take a sip. The tea leaves were of low quality and tasted very astringent. She took a quick sip and put it down.
