Black Dragon's Wife: Myriad Spirits and White Phoenix

Chapter 50 Aunt's Visit (2)
Xuan Haiyue sat down, picked up the account books, and asked while flipping through them: "How is it? Are there any problems with these shops?"

"Thanks to the palace lord, most of the shops are fine, and the shopkeepers are very responsible, but..." Yan Yun hesitated to speak.

"Just what? What's wrong?"

"It's not the shop's problem. It's because when the maidservant came back, she met the servant girl next to the third uncle's wife, and said she wanted to ask if the palace master was here today. The third uncle's wife wanted to come and see the palace master."

"Ah! The third aunt is coming to see me, today?" Xuan Haiyue said in surprise.

"Yes, it said afternoon."

When Xuan Haiyue first arrived in Shengjing at the end of January, she visited her third uncle and aunt. At that time, her marriage contract had not yet been broken, and her uncle and aunt wanted her to live in Yushifu and marry from the Xia family.But Xuan Haiyue euphemistically refused on the grounds that as the lord of the first house, she should be on her own, and she couldn't always rely on her natal family.Now that my aunt and mother are here to visit, it should be because of King Qi's resignation.

After lunch, Xuan Haiyue waited for the Xia family's carriage at the entrance of Xuanfu with Yanyun Yanxia, ​​and soon the Xia family's carriage drove to the door.A well-dressed lady came down from the carriage, she was Xuan Haiyue's third aunt.

Xuan Haiyue greeted her cordially, and shouted with a smile, "Third Aunt."

"Greetings to third uncle and madam." Yanyun Yanxia saluted.

Mrs. Xia saw that her niece, who loved her like her own daughter, was doing well, and her worries were reduced a lot. She took her hand and said with relief: "Okay, okay, I am relieved to see that Yue'er is fine. Aunt knew that after King Qi divorced you, she was very anxious, and she was afraid that you might not think about it for a while and do something stupid, so now Aunt is relieved."

Seeing how her aunt cared so much, Xuan Haiyue felt very warm in her heart. She is not alone in this world, and she still has relatives by her side. She said comfortingly: "Auntie, don't stand outside, go in quickly."

Third Mrs. Xia approached the Broken Snow Pavilion, and saw that the interior was simple and elegant, warm and comfortable, with all the things used, she was sure that it was not a wrong decision to let Yue'er go back to live in Xuanfu, Yue'er took good care of herself it is good.After the two sat down, Yanyun Yanxia served refreshments, Mrs. Xia took out a book from her sleeve and handed it to Xuan Haiyue: "Yue'er, here is a book that records in detail the conditions of the various officials' families in the capital. You must study it carefully, it will be of great help to you in the future.”

Xuan Haiyue took it, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, Yue'er knows it well. Now that Yue'er is on the cusp of the storm, the rumors of the previous days have not subsided, and he was divorced by King Qi. Now Yue'er must have become It's a joke all over the capital."

Seeing her niece's open-minded appearance, Mrs. Xia was both happy and sad. She held Xuan Haiyue's hand and said lovingly: "Yue'er, don't worry, your uncle and aunt will definitely make decisions for you. In fact, you and It’s fine if King Qi retired. I’ve seen that aunt of King Qi. He is a famous concubine, and there is a virtuous concubine in charge of the family, it is a good thing for you not to marry him, so as to save you from suffering after passing."

Xuan Haiyue looked at the third aunt's expression of thinking about her, and was very moved in her heart. She was divorced and had no parents by her side. It was the time when she needed comfort. Although she didn't care about King Qi, she didn't care about this marriage at all. , but there are still people in this world who care about her future, how can they not be moved?Her eyes turned red, and she choked up with sobs: "Auntie, Yue'er knows that Auntie loves Yue'er the most."

"Stupid boy, don't cry. Your uncles and aunts are there for everything, your grandfather, and your seven brothers. No matter what happens, the Xia family will always stand by your side. You are the generation of the Xia family." The only daughter, who won’t you help?” Mrs. Xia took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Xuan Haiyue’s eyes, then patted the back of Xuan Haiyue’s hand: “By the way, my aunt will tell you something again. Tell me an inside story, he said that in the court, he will try to get the emperor to point out someone worthy of entrusting you for life, maybe in a few days the emperor will issue an imperial decree to give you a marriage, you have to be mentally prepared."

Xuan Haiyue was startled, and was very surprised in her heart. She was going to be married again?Originally, I thought that I would be able to live in peace for a few years after being divorced, but I didn't expect that there would be another disturbance. What on earth is this emperor going to do?Are you really eager to marry yourself out? "Auntie, will this be too soon! Who is the emperor going to marry me to?" She frowned.

"Well, I don't know, don't worry, your uncle will explain to you the stakes in a few days. Yue'er, thousands of words are still the same sentence, no matter what happens, you have to take care of it Do you know yourself?"

Xuan Haiyue looked at the third aunt and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, aunt, Yue'er understands that she can wrong anyone but never herself."

"Okay, this is the daughter of the Xia family!" Mrs. Xia was very happy to see Xuan Haiyue's sensible look.

The second day after the third aunt left, Xuan Haiyue led Yanyun Yanxia to Zhenyutai.Zhenyu Terrace is the largest jade store in Xuanxin Palace in the capital, and it is also the one with the highest profit. But yesterday Yanyun came back and said that the shopkeeper of Zhenyu Terrace showed signs of being replaced, and something was wrong.Xuan Haiyue came to the gate of Zhenyu Terrace in a carriage, and heard the sound of arguing before entering the gate.

"Presumptuous, Wu Xiong, you are too deceitful! Zhenyu Terrace is the property of the Xuan family. It has been operating in the capital for decades. How could it be possible to sell fake products! Selling fake products is fine. At worst, we will lose money to you, and You actually took advantage of the fire to rob and want to buy the entire Zhenyu Terrace, it’s wishful thinking!" A man in gray in the room shouted angrily at the man in brown in front of him.

The man in brown sneered, pointed to a string of pearl necklaces in front of him, and said contemptuously: "Hmph, here is the proof, this is the pearl necklace I bought in your store the day before yesterday, and my sister found that the pearls had faded when she wore them this morning , and there are cracks on it, what is it if it’s not a fake?”

"You are slandering me. Every time I sell jade at Zhenyu Terrace, I personally inspect the goods. I confirm that there is no problem with the jade before handing it over to the customer. How can it be a fake? You clearly framed it." The man in gray refused. Back off, retorted forcefully.

"What's the matter? What happened?" At this moment, a gentle and clear voice came from outside the door, which eased the solemn atmosphere in the room a lot.

When everyone turned their heads, they saw a beautiful woman in a beige skirt walking in.Xuan Haiyue walked into Zhenyu Terrace, looked around, walked towards the man in gray, and asked softly: "You are the shopkeeper Wang, explain to me what happened here."

Shopkeeper Wang was taken aback, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and asked suspiciously, "Who is the girl?"

"This is my young lady, she is the owner of this Zhenyu Terrace." Yanxia said behind her.
