After being forced into a marriage with a wealthy family, the virtuous wife caused a huge uproar.

"Mother, I'm going out to buy a soft couch. The one in the room is too small. I like a bigger one so that the young master and I can sit on it together to read and chat." Rong Yingluo made an excuse to go out.

Su Jingyi was taken aback. She wanted to refuse, but Rong Yingluo had just offered to call a doctor for her. If she disagreed now, Rong Yingluo would definitely say something infuriating.

She had clearly heard that Miss Rong was gentle and virtuous, but the woman in front of her was completely unlike those four words.

If she had known she was this kind of woman, she would never have married her.

But it's too late to regret it now; there's no reason to divorce, the imperial decree has decreed the marriage.

Unless she has committed an unforgivable crime or violated one of the seven grounds for divorce, namely, adultery.

"Go if you want," Su Jingyi waved her hand, "It's not like it's my money."

Wait, weren't all her dowry items locked up? Where did she get the money?

Did she receive additional money from the Rong family when she returned home?

With this realization, Su Jingyi began to have doubts.

The Rong family is the richest family in the capital, and their daughter is marrying into an exceptionally wealthy family; they would certainly provide her with ample funds for her future. No wonder the dowry list is estimated to be only around 50,000 taels of silver.

It turns out it was given privately.

If the Crown Prince wanted Rong Yingluo's dowry, and he simply gave him money that wasn't on the dowry list, wouldn't Rong's dowry not have to be handed over?

The more Su Jingyi thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed.

Back at Silver Willow Courtyard, Rong Yingluo spread out a piece of paper and wrote a letter, which she asked Granny Zhu to take to the outer courtyard to have her son, Wu Dali, send it back to the Rong family.

Let the Rong family find someone to accompany her to finish the charade.

She couldn't just give Su the antidote and make her suddenly recover.

A few days of torment is enough; going too far will cause unnecessary trouble.

Su still has her maternal family. If they really kill her, her family will definitely come knocking on her door to cause trouble. And since the Duke is not in the mansion now, they will definitely make trouble for her.

If the Su family were to find another master to claim that she had killed her mother-in-law, then she would have no way to defend herself.

Yinghong went to the front yard to ask Steward Lu to arrange a carriage, but she returned angrily: "Miss, Steward Lu said that he would only arrange a carriage if the Duchess gave the order, and since the Duchess is ill, he dared not disturb her."

"It's alright, let's buy a carriage for Uncle Wu to drive, then we can go wherever we want." With money in hand, Rong Yingluo didn't feel bad about spending it; it's good to have a wealthy family.

The master and servant walked into the street, showing no sign of displeasure.

The gatekeepers all marveled at how kind the newlywed wife of the heir apparent was; she didn't complain at all about not being provided with a carriage and instead walked happily into the street.

Butler Lu relayed Rong Yingluo's story of walking to go shopping to Su Jingyi.

"A merchant's daughter has no manners at all. How can she show her face in public like this?" She originally intended to make things difficult for Rong Yingluo and prevent her from going out, but she didn't care about the dignity of a well-bred lady at all.

"Madam, the young mistress is ill-mannered. You can teach her a lesson," Zhao Mama gently reminded her.

"You're right. Find a copy of the Women's Precepts and send it to Silver Willow Courtyard. She has two days to copy it ten times for me to check. Remember to say it nicely, don't ruin my image." Su Jingyi narrowed her eyes and gave the order in a cold voice.

"Yes, Madam, this old servant will make sure she obediently accepts the women's ring." Granny Zhao smiled effeminately and gladly accepted the order.

Rong Yingluo walked down the street with Yinghong.

To avoid clashing with her eldest sister, she never appeared in the capital except for the three-year period when she returned to the mansion. Even during the month of family reunion, she would always cover her face with a veil.

Therefore, she was not familiar with the capital city.

However, Yinghong knew the area better than her and knew where the most lively spots were.

It took the two of them more than half an hour to reach Suzaku Street, the most bustling and lively place in the capital.

Shops lined both sides of the street, displaying a dazzling array of goods. Rong Yingluo had previously followed her master to cultivate Taoism and learn medicine, so she didn't have much time to look at clothes and jewelry like other girls. She wore a blue Taoist robe every day and was used to simplicity.

Now that she is the wife of the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, she can no longer live as simply as before.

The two walked into a jewelry store and picked out a twelve-piece headdress set with intertwined willow leaves, spending more than eight hundred taels of silver without feeling any pain.

"Miss, why don't we go buy a couple more outfits? The clothes we brought into the manor all belong to the eldest young lady, and they don't quite suit your style," Yinghong suggested.

Although the eldest and second young ladies are twin sisters, they have different upbringings and different preferences.

These past two days, the second young lady has been wearing the eldest young lady's clothes, but it always feels like they don't suit the eldest young lady as well.

"Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll go buy two more sets of clothes that fit." Rong Yingluo accepted the maid's suggestion.

The eldest sister's clothes are too brightly colored; she prefers solid-colored clothes.

The two then went to a silk shop, which had ready-made clothes.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged woman who took the initiative to greet new customers as they entered.

"What would you like to choose, esteemed guest?"

"Our young lady wants to choose ready-to-wear clothing," Yinghong explained proactively.

"Please follow me to the second floor, where you can try them on." The shopkeeper personally led them upstairs.

The three went up to the second floor, where there were three private rooms specifically for guests to change and try on clothes. Only the side facing the street had windows; this design was intended to make it convenient for female guests to try on clothes without being seen.

There are also tea, fruit, and snacks.

The master and servant selected several outfits from the clothing rack and brought them into the private room.

Rong Yingluo chose several light-colored items, mainly light blue, and also a moon-white gauze dress.

Yinghong helped Rong Yingluo change her clothes.

After wearing this, her entire demeanor changed completely.

"Wow, Miss, you're like a fairy descended to earth!" Yinghong exclaimed dramatically as she looked at Rong Yingluo in her light blue and gold-embroidered gauze dress.

Compared to the young lady's demeanor, they are truly two completely different people.

"Is it as beautiful as you say?" This was the first time Rong Yingluo had worn such a beautiful dress since her coming-of-age ceremony, and it was even her favorite color.

"I'm telling the truth. If I go back to the manor dressed like this, I'll definitely bewitch the young master."

"Why would I be infatuated with him?" Rong Yingluo never thought of becoming infatuated with Gu Ce.

Rong Yingluo tried on several other pieces and finally chose a light blue one and a moon white one.

At Yinghong's urging, she put back on the light blue gilded tulle dress she had tried on first, and refused to change back into her old clothes.

"Miss, please sit down and rest for a while. I'm tired from walking." Yinghong, as Rong Liuli's head maid, was almost the same as the deputy young lady and rarely accompanied her for such a long distance.

"Okay, take a break." Rong Yingluo said considerately to the young girl.

The two sat down by the window to have some tea and snacks.

Rong Yingluo chatted with her maid while looking at the street scene.

The bustling street was crowded with people.

Hey, there's a man in a wheelchair being pushed downstairs. Judging from his clothes, he must be a young master from some wealthy family.

I only saw a side profile, but it felt so familiar.

Rong Yingluo quietly tossed a peanut, which landed right on the man's head.

The man in the wheelchair was startled and looked up to see who was so bold.

The result was an extraordinary and otherworldly face.

He recognized Rong Yingluo at a glance, and the previously expressionless man suddenly broke into a bright smile: "Little Fairy!"
