Silver Jewelry Shop No. 41, Adding to the Dowry

"Shop assistant, you've said so much—aren't you afraid we might not be able to afford it?" Meng Yun laughed.

"Madam, you jest. A guest is a guest. Even if you don't buy anything today, you can always come back when you've made up your mind. Besides, 'afford' is hardly the point; it’s all about whether a customer wants to buy. In other words, if someone didn't want to buy anything, why would they bother strolling around here? On such a hot day, wouldn't it be better to stay cool under a big tree?" The assistant led the mother and daughter to the fabric section.

"Please, both of you, feel free to look around. I am happy to provide an introduction if you'd like."

Xu Zheng arrived at the prison and walked toward the execution chamber. Two bailiffs stood guard at the entrance, saluting him as he approached.

Huang Yunyue shook her head, signaling that she would not be bringing her along. Su Xiling was confused—why? Was it because of her own situation? "Are you still blaming her?"

Wen Xing was already overwhelmed, checking her list for the items that needed to be packed. When the Fourth Master entered, she hurriedly double-checked the list, added a few more items, and handed it to Nanny Feng.

Ji smiled and prepared to head back. Since this opportunity had been ruined by someone else, the three members of the Huofu family would surely be more cautious now, making it difficult to find another chance to press them for answers.

Su Wei wondered if he had overheard what she said in her grandmother's hospital room; otherwise, why would he say such things out of the blue?

The Fourth Master was surprised that Wen Xing would bring this up now. He paused, then wondered if she had been frightened by recent events and was seeking a formal status for peace of mind.

He shouted loudly about the scoundrel, unable to hold back his hand this year. Nangong Xu said that if the four treasures were mentioned, he would return. Nangong Xu then said he would not get yours.

Mai Duoduo kept making a huge fuss, loudly asking for five hundred taels of silver, screaming like a banshee at Nangong Xu.

Kelly was watching Ji with vigilance. He was confused by the man's words when, suddenly, a sharp pain pierced his chest, as if his very flesh were being torn apart.

Fang Yan gave a rough account of what happened after the old Daoist left, and with Ruo's supplementary details, everyone finally understood the sequence of events.

When the door was pushed open, Cheng Zhen hid behind it. Seeing that it was only Zhou Jinsheng who had entered, she let out a sigh of relief and stepped out from behind the door.

Seeing Miyawaki Sakura pouting and holding her cheeks in frustration, Sun Chengfeng immediately transformed into a life coach, beginning to counsel her.

Therefore, when her grandmother spoke to her about this matter, she hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Yulong Court was located at the very back of the villa complex. To walk out, one had to pass several other villas. Cheng Zhen had never walked through here properly, so she took this opportunity to observe the surroundings carefully.

"Examiner Han seems very exhausted. Did something happen that we are unaware of?" Xia Chan felt incredibly anxious.

Although there were some irregularities, they were not enough to cause those at the Heavenly Tribulation Realm to turn hostile, especially since the Dragon King of the East Sea was attracting all the fire.

It was nothing more than Tang Muqing and Fang Fei acting domineeringly, refusing to let the male lead eat with them.

After being seated and served tea by the attendants, Sheng Hong dismissed the servants and looked at Changbai, who was sitting across from him.

However, everyone saw Xie Ningzhi being escorted out of the Zhonglan Courtyard by the Ink Immortal. He handed a white jade box to a servant and walked straight out of Daxiangguo Temple. Occasionally, he would respond to those who greeted him, but although he wore a smile, he did not seem particularly happy.

Despite the many doubts, life had to go on. Three days later, they returned to find the hotel closed. A sign on the door stated that the owner was busy and asked for patience.

Wang Yuanqing handed the portrait to an assistant official, who took it, left the secret office, and walked straight out of Hebi Lane.

Over ten days passed, and Li Chan became casual acquaintances with Liu Jian from the East Courtyard. Liu Jian had a rather warm personality and often invited Li Chan to attend student society meetings.

Nie Kongkong reached out and caught the sword Li Chan had tossed to him, only to find it absurdly light. The hilt was painted vermilion, and the spine of the blade was lacquered black; it was made of paper.
