After Mu Fengqie left the palace, she took Zhu Fei to Lou Ming's clothing store.
"Miss, which dress do you like?" The storekeeper greeted them.
Since this clothing store was small and there weren't many customers, mostly regulars, the storekeeper was the only one in the store.
"We'll just take a look around," Mu Fengqie said. Then she took Zhu Fei and carefully examined the store. She thought it would have to be renovated first in the future.
Otherwise, when there were more clothes to sell and more people coming, this small place would definitely not be able to hold them. After the inspection, Mu Fengqie left. She was going to plan how to transform this clothing store into a high - end and classy one.
After returning, Mu Fengqie found some craftsmen and discussed with them how to build it. Finally, a plan was finalized. Mu Fengqie looked at the blueprint in her hand and thought it was refreshing.
Mu Fengqie gave the blueprint to Jing Xunce and asked him to find someone to do the work. Lou Ming took a look halfway and thought it was good, so he didn't stop them.
Due to the large amount of work, it took more than a month to complete. On the opening day, many people came to watch.
"Master, this is the dress sent by the embroiderer. See if it fits you," Zhu Fei brought in a long water - blue dress from outside.
Mu Fengqie felt the fabric. It was of excellent quality and very soft. She took the dress and tried it on. The moment Zhu Fei saw Mu Fengqie, she was stunned by her beauty.
This dress perfectly showed off Mu Fengqie's figure and made her look even fairer.
"How do I look in this dress?" Mu Fengqie spun around in front of Zhu Fei and looked at her with a smile.
"Beautiful," Zhu Fei, as a woman, was amazed by Mu Fengqie. If she wore this dress to the palace banquet tonight, she didn't know how many people's attention she would attract.
"Yeah, I think so too. I'll wear this dress to the palace banquet tonight and give our future clothing store a good publicity," Mu Fengqie said. She was sure that the noble ladies in the capital would be attracted.
"Okay, master. I'll go to the palace with you tonight," Zhu Fei said, looking at Mu Fengqie.
Mu Fengqie looked at Zhu Fei and suddenly remembered something. "Ahem... Zhu Fei, you don't need to go with me tonight. I'll ask Zhu Yan to go with me."
"Why?" Zhu Fei looked at Mu Fengqie in confusion.
Mu Fengqie felt a bit guilty when she said this. After all, she had sold Zhu Fei without discussing it with her. "Well... I promised Lou Ming that you'll spend tonight with him."
Zhu Fei looked at Mu Fengqie without saying a word. Mu Fengqie felt even more guilty under her gaze. She always felt sorry for her. "If you don't want to, I can help you decline."
"No need," Zhu Fei said. She had actually planned to spend the Mid - Autumn Festival with Lou Ming too, but she just thought of it a bit late. This way was fine too.
"By the way, master, the saintess of the Witch Clan has returned. She wants to see you."
"Lu Yun? Didn't she go back to the Witch Clan because of something? Why did she come back so soon?" Mu Fengqie was a bit surprised. "Did she say when she wants to see me?"
"She came just when you went in to try on the clothes. She's waiting in the hall now," Zhu Fei said indifferently.
Mu Fengqie twitched the corner of her mouth when she heard this. The person had been here for so long, but she was just informed now. She suspected that Zhu Fei was retaliating against her for not taking her to the palace banquet, but she had no evidence.
"Got it. I'll go and see her now." Mu Fengqie didn't have time to change her clothes and went straight to the hall in this dress.
"Feng'er, why are you here?" Mu Fengqie said with a smile as she looked at Lu Yun who was drinking tea in the hall.
"Sister Qie, you're finally back. I've missed you so much!" Lu Yun was immediately captivated by Mu Fengqie at the first sight. She was so beautiful. Lu Yun rushed over and hugged her.
"Wow, Sister Qie, this dress of yours is so beautiful!" Lu Yun completely became Mu Fengqie's little fan.
"If you like it, I'll have someone make one for you later," Mu Fengqie said, stroking Lu Yun's hair.
"Great, great!"
"I heard from Mu Nan that you went back to the Witch Clan because of something. Are the old clan leader and the others okay?" The old clan leader and the others were very kind. If she could help, she would do her best.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that my younger sister's birthday was coming, so I went back to celebrate it with her." They held a birthday party every year, but this year's was on a larger scale. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone back.
"Oops! Look at me. I've forgotten all about it. I haven't even given that little girl a present yet. Wait a minute. I'll go and get one for you." Mu Fengqie was about to go and prepare a gift for Lu Yun's younger sister. That little girl should be three years old by now.
"No need, Sister Qie. There's no need to go through so much trouble," Lu Yun pouted. Sister Qie had never even prepared a birthday present for her.
Mu Fengqie found Lu Yun's little tantrum quite funny. "How old are you? You're still acting like a child. Is it really necessary?"
"Of course it is," Lu Yun pouted.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about you and Mu Nan. Have you decided when you're going to get married?" Mu Fengqie looked at Lu Yun teasingly.
As soon as Lu Yun heard this, her face turned red. She stammered and didn't know what to say.
"Why are you so shy? Weren't you very bold when you were chasing Mu Nan? Why are you so easily embarrassed now?"
"No, it's just that it'll be soon. When I went back this time, I talked to my parents about it. Mu Nan has already sent the betrothal gifts." But when Lu Yun thought about this, she remembered that when she told her father about it, her father's face had turned completely black.
She remembered that her father had wanted to pick up a big knife and chop Mu Nan to death. Fortunately, her mother was more rational and didn't do anything crazy. But according to the servants, the sound of chopping in the kitchen had not stopped all night.
The next morning, when the servants went to the kitchen, all the meat in the kitchen had been minced, and even the bones hadn't been spared.
That day, Lu Yun realized that her mother wasn't rational but was just holding back her anger. A total of three large basins of meat had been minced into meat paste, and it was just enough to be distributed among the people in the clan. Each family got a big bowl of meat.
She didn't know if they had vented their anger, but when Mu Nan sent the betrothal gifts, her parents didn't show any reaction. They just happily accepted the gifts.
She had been worried about Mu Nan for those few days. Fortunately, nothing bad had happened later.
