Due to her status, no one dared to compete with her. In the end, Su Yueyue managed to snatch three dresses she fancied all by herself and was overjoyed.
Su Mingyu watched her exuberant expression, a hint of ridicule flashing in her eyes.
"Sister, did the boss give you all these too?"
Su Yueyue walked up to Su Mingyu with a smile. "But why would she give you so many dresses?"
Asked by her, Su Mingyu lowered her eyes and pretended to think. "She said she wanted to expand the scale of Sinnan Pavilion and then proposed to cooperate with me."
"Cooperate with you?" Su Yueyue frowned and almost couldn't help scoffing.
"Sister, aren't you being deceived?"
Su Mingyu nodded. "She said she wanted to cooperate with me after she learned that I'm a daughter of the Su Mansion."
Then, Su Mingyu pointed at the dresses in Su Yueyue's arms. "Oh, right. These things are her token of sincerity."
Yesterday, Su Yueyue had forced the maids who got the dresses she wanted to hand them over through Xiaocui.
To prevent being deceived by Su Mingyu, Su Yueyue specifically took the dresses to Wang Manwen.
Wang Manwen almost immediately recognized who made these dresses, which proved that they were indeed from Sinnan Pavilion.
Wasn't it said that Sinnan Pavilion had a deep background?
Then why did she still need to find someone to cooperate with?
Su Yueyue asked her doubts.
Su Mingyu pursed her lips and said, "Because she wants to open five branches at once. She needs a lot of silver and manpower, so she wants me to invest in Sinnan Pavilion."
"You mean the boss of Sinnan Pavilion asked you to invest silver in her shop?" Su Yueyue found it hard to believe.
Su Mingyu nodded. "Yes, I think so."
"Did you agree?" Su Yueyue looked at her nervously.
Feeling a bit embarrassed under her gaze, Su Mingyu looked at Su Yueyue with a puzzled look. "Yes. Why?"
There was a glint of excitement in Su Yueyue's eyes. "So did you agree or not?"
Su Mingyu shook her head. "I'm still a bit worried. It all seems too coincidental."
"Actually..." A calculating look flashed in Su Yueyue's eyes. "I also think it's quite a coincidence. If you don't agree, then don't. We don't want to be deceived."
Su Mingyu gave a soft hum. "We've divided up the things. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
Su Yueyue curtsied to see Su Mingyu off and then immediately went to Wang Manwen's place.
After listening to Su Yueyue's account, Wang Manwen was a bit worried. "What if that person is really a swindler?"
Su Yueyue grabbed Wang Manwen's hand. "There are so many dresses, hundreds in total, right? Would a swindler invest so much?"
Then, Su Yueyue asked Xiaocui to bring the dresses she had snatched today. "Besides, you've seen these dresses, Mother. You said they're from Sinnan Pavilion."
Wang Manwen stroked the dress, her eyes showing a mysterious glint.
Su Yueyue tugged at Wang Manwen's arm and coquettishly said, "Mother~ Your clothing factory has been shut down. The Wang family has been bothering you for silver because their income has stopped. If this goes on, I'm afraid you'll eventually use up all your savings."
Persuaded by Su Yueyue, Wang Manwen finally nodded. "Alright. But I had a conflict with the shopkeeper of Sinnan Pavilion, so it's not convenient for me to show up. You'll handle this alone. Can you manage it?"
A hint of pride flashed in Su Yueyue's eyes. "Don't worry, Mother. Su Mingyu said that woman is in urgent need of silver. As long as I have a face - to - face talk with her, she'll be easily convinced."
Seeing her so confident, Wang Manwen patted her hand. "Our Yue'er has grown up."
Su Yueyue gave a charming laugh. "Mother... Lately, the King of Yu and I have been getting along quite well. We often go out for outings, but he still hasn't sent the betrothal gifts. What should I do?"
Wang Manwen frowned. "Did you use the tricks I taught you to attract men?"
"I did." Just thinking about this made Su Yueyue a bit annoyed. "I don't know what else to do."
Seeing that Su Yueyue was really frustrated, Wang Manwen got up, went to a cabinet by the bed, and took out a box of ointment from a box on the bed edge.
"Yue'er, if you really have no other way, use this."
Just as Su Yueyue was about to open it and smell the ointment, Wang Manwen stopped her. "Hey, you can't smell this casually."
This made Su Yueyue even more curious. "What on earth is this?"
"This is something that can arouse people's passion. You just need to take a little and smear it on the lid of the incense burner. When it's heated by the incense, it will volatilize. Then..."
Wang Manwen touched Su Yueyue's flat belly. "When there's a child here, do you think it'll still be a problem for you to marry the King of Yu?"
A look of surprise appeared on Su Yueyue's face. "Is this really effective?"
A blush appeared on Wang Manwen's face. "Otherwise, do you think how I became the mistress of the Su Mansion?"
Hearing Wang Manwen's words, Su Yueyue felt relieved. But then she thought of something else. "But..."
Su Yueyue pursed her lips and looked a bit embarrassed. "I've lost my virginity to the King of Yu. Will this have a bad impact on my future?"
"You're so silly." Wang Manwen tapped Su Yueyue's forehead. "You're going to marry him anyway. What's the problem?"
Enlightened by Wang Manwen, Su Yueyue had no more concerns.
She took the ointment. "But the most urgent thing is to settle the matter of Sinnan Pavilion before Su Mingyu comes to her senses."
Wang Manwen nodded. "Go ahead. Don't worry about the silver."
Su Yueyue curled her lips into a smile, showing a hint of cruelty.
In Su Mingyu's courtyard, as soon as she entered the door, she saw a familiar figure sitting there quietly drinking tea.
She glanced at Zhizhu, who was standing obediently beside. Su Mingyu said helplessly, "I'll do it. Zhizhu, you can go first."
Zhizhu nodded and quickly ran out of the room, closing the door behind.
Su Mingyu sat opposite Gu Ruobai and poured herself a cup of tea. "Do you really think the Su Mansion is your home? You can just come and go as you please?"
Gu Ruobai raised his eyebrows. "I just wanted to tell you that I've found the murderer who killed Zhang Chunshui."
Hearing about Zhang Chunshui, Su Mingyu became interested. "Who is it?"
Gu Ruobai glanced at the empty teacup but didn't say a word.
Su Mingyu quickly filled his cup with tea, rolling her eyes in her mind. This guy was really pretentious.
After taking a satisfying sip of tea, Gu Ruobai coldly said, "It's a Jianghu rogue named Wu Qi."
Su Mingyu frowned. "Judging from the way of hiring a killer, it doesn't seem to be Su Yueyue's doing."
Jianghu rogues were unpredictable. Some were greedy for money while others regarded money as dirt. In short, they were a group of strange and mixed - up people.
