Daughter of aristocratic family

Zhao Wangshu didn't pay much attention to the matter between Prince Zuocheng and Ma Qiaoqiao. She went to Yage to see the pictures drawn by the two masters and thought they were pretty good. She was on the second floor, looking at the account books while waiting for Miss Wu.

By early noon, Miss Wu had not yet arrived. Zhao Wangshu frowned and said, "I hate people who don't keep their promises."

After that, she planned to have lunch first, but at this moment, she heard a burst of soft footsteps on the stairs.

Zhao Wangshu raised his eyes and saw Miss Wu rushing over with a trace of apology on her face.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Miss Wu said softly, "Some things have delayed me."

Zhao Wangshu said calmly: "It's okay, please sit down."

Miss Wu sat down opposite Zhao Wangshu. The waiter brought the tea and stepped aside.

Zhao Wangshu unfolded the picture, "I asked two painters to draw a picture each. Let's see which one Miss Wu likes?"

Miss Wu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and looked at the two pictures.

Zhao Wangshu did not rush him, and just sipped the tea on his own, patiently waiting for her decision.

After a while, Miss Wu put down the tea cup, pointed to one of the pictures and said, "I like this one better."

Zhao Wangshu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll choose this one."

"How long will it take to get the phoenix crown?" Miss Wu asked.

Zhao Wangshu pondered for a moment, "About a month."

Miss Wu nodded, "In one month, I will come to pick up the phoenix crown, and I will ask Miss Zhao for more snacks."

"Don't worry, Miss Wu." Zhao Wangshu motioned to the waiter to send Miss Wu out.

But Miss Wu sat still, "It's already noon. I have made Miss Zhao wait for me for so long. I wonder if I can treat Miss Zhao to a meal to express my apology?"

Zhao Wangshu declined politely, "To be honest, I have some personal matters to deal with today and I cannot dine with Miss Wu. However, since we have decided on Fengguan, there will definitely be another chance in the future. When the time comes, I will treat Miss Wu to a meal A hearty meal.”

After hearing this, Miss Wu smiled slightly and said, "In that case, let's make an appointment another day. Farewell."

As soon as she was sent away by the waiter, Ma Qiaoqiao entered the store behind her.

The guy smiled and said: "Hello, girl, I want to"

"Get out of the way, I'm looking for Zhao Wangshu." Ma Qiaoqiao pushed away the man blocking her and walked towards the stairs.

Zhao Wangshu happened to come down from upstairs, "Miss Ma, is she interested in my store again?"

"I have something to ask you." Ma Qiaoqiao said coldly.

"What do you want to ask?" Zhao Wangshu asked calmly.

"What does Wu Jiaoxing want from you?"

Zhao Wangshu chuckled and said, "Miss Ma, this is a noodle shop. What can Miss Wu do here?"

"You'd better not lie to me." Ma Qiaoqiao said with a serious expression.

"Nothing to lie about."

Ma Qiaoqiao glared at her, turned around and walked away angrily.

Zhao Wangshu sneered, "Inexplicable."

Zhao Wangshu didn't pay much attention to this matter, but he didn't want Ma Qiaoqiao to find out that Wu Jiaoxing had ordered a phoenix crown in Yage, so he bribed He Yiniang to know the style of the phoenix crown.

Although He Yiniang didn't know Ma Qiaoqiao's intention, she knew that Wu Jiaoxing was the quasi-concubine of Prince Zuocheng, and Ma Qiaoqiao was the quasi-concubine of Prince Zuocheng.

Ma Qiaoqiao's move seems a bit malicious no matter how you look at it.

He Yiniang took the five hundred taels of silver notes Ma Qiaoqiao gave her and went to see Zhao Wangshu, "Girl, what do you think she is going to do?"

"Create an identical phoenix crown to humiliate Wu Jiaoxing." Zhao Wangshu saw through Ma Qiaoqiao's intention at a glance.

"She is just a concubine. If she does this, isn't she afraid that Miss Wu will harass her in the future?" He Yiniang felt a little incredible. Zhao Wangshu smiled lightly and said, "She has a good family background and is not afraid."

"Girl, how should we handle this matter?" He Yiniang was worried and could not offend either party.

"If Ma Qiaoqiao wants to compete with Wu Jiaoxing, she must let Wu Jiaoxing know about it." Zhao Wangshu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

He Yiniang understood this, and after leaving the Zhao family, she went to the Wu family.

Wu Jiaoxing saw her and said, "You said you have something important to report to me. Tell me what it is?"

He Yiniang told her about Ma Qiaoqiao's bribery, "This is the five hundred taels of silver note that Miss Ma gave me."

After hearing this, Wu Jiaoxing's face turned livid, "It's so courageous for a concubine to want to be superior to the main wife."

"Miss Wu, I will definitely not give this picture to Miss Ma, but you also know that Miss Ma's family is very powerful. If she uses her power to suppress others, we may not be able to stop her." He Yiniang said with a look of embarrassment on her face.

"If she wants a picture, give it to her." Wu Jiaoxing smiled contemptuously, "I remember that the painter in the shop drew two pictures and gave her the one I didn't choose."

"Miss Wu, this is a good idea." He Yiniang said flatteringly.

"Since she gave it to you, you should accept these five hundred taels of silver notes." Wu Jiaoxing said.

"Thank you, Miss Wu."

Wu Jiaoxing was quite satisfied that He Yiniang was so knowledgeable. "From now on, the Prince's Palace will buy jewelry from your house all year round."

"Thank you, Princess." He Yiniang deliberately called her that.

The smile on Wu Jiaoxing's face deepened, but she said: "I am not yet."

"This is a sure thing." He Yiniang smiled and put the banknote away.

She came out of Wu's house and returned to Zhao's house.

Zhao Wangshu had just finished lunch and was about to take a nap. When he saw her sweating profusely as she rushed back and forth, he said, "It's not an important matter. There's no need to be in such a hurry."

While talking, he handed her a cup of tea. He Yiniang took the cup, drank it all in one gulp, took out the five hundred taels of silver notes, and explained the matter, "This girl Wu is also a capable person."

Zhao Wangshu smiled, "Wu Jiaoxing has a scheming mind, and Ma Qiaoqiao has a family background. The Zuocheng County Prince's Palace will be very lively in the future."

He Yiniang had a bowl of noodles at Zhao's house and then returned to Yage with five hundred taels of silver notes.

The next day, when Ma Qiaoqiao came to Yage, He Yiniang gave her the picture behind her back, "Miss Ma, you can't tell anyone about this. If my boss girl finds out about this, I will be driven away."

"I won't tell anyone. If you're so afraid, don't accept my money." Ma Qiaoqiao took the picture and left.

Taking the picture, she found another noodle shop and asked the craftsmen to make the phoenix crown.

However, the wedding day for Prince Zuocheng was on the second day of September, and it would be several months before Ma Qiaoqiao learned the truth.

Her affair with Prince Zuocheng was confirmed to be framed, and the person behind the scenes pointed directly at Prince Baofu.

Prince Baofu tried his best to defend himself, "This is a frame-up. How could I do such a dirty thing? Please give me an explanation."

With Prince Baofu's popularity, he really did not need to target Prince Zuocheng, and the emperor was already biased towards Prince Baofu. "There are many doubts about this matter. We will continue to investigate thoroughly."

"Thank you, father." Prince Baofu saluted.

After coming out of the palace, Prince Zuocheng did not go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. Instead, he returned to the Prince's Mansion and summoned his staff. "Let more evidence be released to make this matter true."

"Your Majesty, no matter how much evidence there is, Your Majesty still won't believe that it was Prince Baofu who did it."

"Father is partial, but I don't want him to believe it." Princess Zuo Cheng smiled coldly.

The staff understood, "Your Majesty is wise."

I got a thousand red envelopes on the first day of work in the new year, hahaha, I’m very happy.
