Li Miaoyi turned to look at the waiter and asked, "If I want to buy this self-warming cup now, how much money will it cost."

The boy's eyes rolled around and he slowly said, "A hundred taels of gold."

Meng Chun's eyes widened as he stood aside. One hundred taels of gold was enough for ordinary people in Dongling to live for several generations. This guy was really a lion.

Li Miaoyi chuckled lightly and said, "Silver is not a problem, it's just that I came in a hurry today. I didn't expect that my slave would be so brave and dare to steal such a valuable thing, so I didn't bring enough silver."

The clerk nodded with a sneer on his face and said, "That's what the lady said."

Li Miaoyi changed her style and said, "It's just that your pawn shop is one of the best in the entire Shangjing City. Someone comes to pawn, and you don't care where this thing comes from?"

After a pause, Li Miaoyi raised her eyebrows and looked at the clerk, saying, "Whether this thing is in line with her identity or not, it was burned, killed, and looted. You can accept it without hesitation."

The expression on the waiter's face froze for a moment, and he explained, "Of course not. Our store always only accepts innocent things."

After a pause, the guy explained, "As you know, our reputation in Shangjing City and even in the entire Tanglin is first-rate."

Li Miaoyi chuckled lightly and said, "In that case, you should also be able to see that this self-warming cup is worth a lot of money. How can she, a servant in coarse linen clothes, get it?"

The clerk laughed dryly and said, "This villain doesn't know. He is just a clerk in this pawn shop. The collection of things is never under the villain's control."

Li Miaoyi knew in her heart that there must be a background behind this pawn shop, otherwise it would not be possible for her to dare to act like this. Things coming out of the palace were taken away at will. For a moment, Li Miaoyi did not dare to act rashly. If there was someone behind the pawn shop, If there was really a big shot she couldn't afford to offend, she would just shoot herself in the foot.

Hearing this, Li Miaoyi didn't say anything else. She just nodded and said slowly, "What you said makes sense." After that, Li Miaoyi stretched out her hand and said, "Bring the silver bag."

"Yes, miss." After saying that, Meng Chun stretched out his hand and put the purse containing the money in Li Miaoyi's hand.

Li Miaoyi took it, stretched out her hand lightly, put it on the table beside her, and said, "I will put this money here first as a deposit. You can keep this self-warming cup for me, and I will get it when I return home." Yinzi will naturally come to get this cup of warm light."

Hearing this, the waiter suddenly had a flattering smile on his face, and slowly said, "Don't worry, Miss. Since this warm light cup is yours, we naturally follow the rules and will definitely keep it for you, Miss." "

Li Miaoyi nodded and stood up slowly. Meng Chun followed her and the two walked out of the pawn shop.

When the pawnshop behind him disappeared, Meng Chuncai said tremblingly, "Miss, where can we get those hundred taels of gold?"

Li Miaoyi narrowed her eyes when she heard this and said, "Since the Li Sun family pawned that thing, then the Li Sun family will naturally have to pay for it."

Meng Chun understood, nodded, and asked again after a while, "Miss, the money bag is obviously filled with a bag of gravel. What should I do if someone from the pawn shop discovers it?"

Li Miaoyi chuckled, "Why is your lady's silver bag filled with gravel?"

Hearing this, Meng Chun turned to look at Li Miaoyi in confusion.

Li Miaoyi slowly said, "In that bag, if I say it's gold, it's gold. What's more, it's just a mortgage. I believe they don't have the guts to open it."

Meng Chun still seemed to understand. She nodded and said, "Miss, you are really smart." Li Miaoyi smiled and said nothing more.

The two slowly returned to the house.

After returning home, Li Miaoyi went straight to Li Jiang's courtyard. The sun was just right today, and Li Jiang was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun.

Seeing Li Miaoyi's arrival, Mrs. Li Jiang instantly smiled and narrowed her eyes and said, "Wanwan is here?"

Li Miaoyi nodded, with a gentle smile on her face, and slowly walked to Li Jiangshi's side.

Li Jiangshi's personal maid was picking up the tea cup to add tea to Li Jiangshi, but Li Miaoyi stretched out her hand, took it from the maid's hand, and poured tea for Li Jiangshi naturally.

Li Miaoyi moved and said, "You go down first, and I'll talk to my mother about myself."

"Yes." Everyone in the courtyard was blessed and retreated.

After everyone left, Mrs. Li Jiang sat up straight, raised her head to look at Li Miaoyi, and slowly asked, "Tell me, if you have anything to do, I can see my mother."

Li Miaoyi thought deeply for a while and then slowly said, "Mom, I remember seeing a thermos cup that could heat itself when I was a child, right?"

Li Jiangshi looked at Li Miaoyi in surprise and asked, "There is a self-warming cup, but I don't know why you suddenly ask about this?"

Li Miaoyi squinted her eyes and looked at Li Jiangshi. Li Jiangshi now had a few strands of white hair on her temples, and the silver threads shone in the sunlight.

Li Jiangshi has begun to grow old, and her health has become worse and worse in recent years. She has to drink soup and medicine every three days. Li Miaoyi does not want to worry about Li Jiangshi, so she slowly says with a smile, "It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered it today.”

After a pause, Li Miaoyi explained, "I remember when I was a child, I took a look at it in my mother's cabinet. It was very detailed. But I only took a look at it, and you put it away, mother."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li Jiang rolled her eyes at Li Miaoyi and said, "You were the most dishonest when you were a child. The paper kite I made for you broke after only half a day in your hand. I don't know if that porcelain is in your hand." No matter how many pieces are broken, they are all good things.”

After speaking, Li Jiangshi glared at Li Miaoyi fiercely and said slowly, "Tell me, how dare I give you such a valuable thing to play with?"

Li Miaoyi smiled. To be honest, she couldn't think clearly about the destruction Li Jiangshi said she had done.

Li Jiangshi snorted softly and said, "But you have grown up now and know how to cherish things. Since you are curious, I will take it out for you to see."

After saying that, Mrs. Li Jiang raised her head slightly and said, "That self-warming cup is a good thing. Pour water into it and it will heat itself."

Li Miaoyi pretended to be surprised and said, "Is there really such a magical thing?"

Mrs. Li Jiang nodded, stood up slowly, and walked into the house with Li Miaoyi. As she walked, she said, "That self-warming cup is extremely precious. Even today's queen may not have it in her private treasury."

When she said this, Li Jiangshi had a proud smile on her face.
