The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

The shopkeeper, who was originally arrogant and domineering, became timid and fearful when he saw the man, and he didn't even dare to look up.

The man smiled, but his eyes fell on the shopkeeper, and a cold light flashed across his face. Before Xu Yao could investigate, the man changed his expression and smiled at her apologetically: "This young lady is right, this crown is only worth two hundred taels, you just need to give two hundred taels, please be merciful and save some face for the silver shop."

Xu Yao was surprised and realized that this man was probably one of the masters of Bai's Silver House. She took the pearl crown, smiled at the man, paid and left.

After the people left, a few people came from outside and closed the silver shop. The shopkeeper in the room was already sitting on the ground in fear, unable to move.

Xu Yao didn't care how big a storm she caused. She wanted to make 100 taels, but ended up making 300 taels. After making sure no one was following her, she hid the money and went back with the pearl crown.

When Liu Moyan saw the pearl crown, she immediately touched it. Xu Yao thought she was confirming something. Sure enough, after a while, she was seen touching a mark under the crown and smiling happily.

"Ayao, you did a good job. I want to reward you." Liu Moyan took out a silver hairpin from her dressing table. It had a simple design, with jadeite dotted on the front end, in the shape of an exquisite plum blossom. It didn't look cheap.

Xu Yao estimated that it was worth about five taels of silver. A maid's monthly allowance was at most three taels of silver, and five taels was nearly two months' income for her, so she was quite happy.

Liu Moyan thought that with this crown, perhaps the Pei family could be saved from disaster.

In her previous life, Pei Shuo’s sister wore this tiara to the palace to attend the imperial concubine’s birthday banquet. Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine took a fancy to her tiara and managed to take it away from her.

Pei Yi was very unhappy because her flower crown was taken away from her, and this actually became one of the evidences used to convict the Pei family later on.

It was indeed an ugly thing for the imperial concubine to steal other people's things. Everyone was angry but dared not say anything, but they also despised Imperial Concubine Wu for her ugly background and ugly eating habits.

But a few days later, Concubine Wu suddenly had a miscarriage. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. During the investigation, it was discovered that abortion drugs were hidden in the corolla.

Because of this incident, the Pei family was considered to be a scourge to the royal heir, and their titles were stripped away and the entire family was exiled.

The tragedy of the Pei family began from that moment.

Liu Moyan thought about it and felt that the best way was to intercept the crown. As long as Pei Yi did not wear the crown to attract attention, she would not be targeted by the imperial concubine when she entered the palace in the future.

In this way, the Pei family will definitely be able to avoid the fate of having their property confiscated and their family exterminated.

Thinking that the fate of the Pei family would change because of this, Liu Moyan fell asleep peacefully.

In the evening, Zhang returned home with her eldest daughter, looking very happy.

The first thing she did when she came back was to see her little daughter.

Seeing Liu Moyan sitting by the bed reading a book, she looked much more energetic. Zhang was happy, "Girl, if you had gone with us today, you would have seen with your own eyes how your sister suppressed the arrogance of the Naxi people and stood up for your mother."

There is also competition among the ladies. Outstanding daughters and sons are the biggest topics among the women's social interactions.

The eldest princess' birthday banquet was originally prepared for the young people of each family to meet each other. If they could gain a good reputation, they would not have trouble finding a husband.

Madam Liu followed in behind Zhang, smiling faintly, and asked about her sister's condition.

Liu Moyan acted delighted, "So, sister's reputation will spread all over the world?"

Madam Liu smiled shyly: "Sister, you are joking. It's just that the ladies of each family are showing their favor."

Although Liu Qingwan was surprised by her sister's sudden change, she didn't dare to ask her in person. In their relationship, Liu Moyan had always been arrogant and embarrassed, and she had always tolerated it.

She had originally prepared herself to be overshadowed and suppressed by her younger sister, but unexpectedly her younger sister's temperament changed drastically. Not only did she not suppress her, she was also happy for her.

She didn't want to guess and just thought that her sister had grown up.

So she had let go of the embarrassment of being scolded by her father a few days ago.

Zhang was indescribably happy. "Your sister is so outstanding. From tomorrow on, I'm afraid that those who want to marry her will come to our house in droves."

Liu Qingwan lowered her head embarrassedly, and Xu Yao found it a little strange.

Two days ago, the lady was said to have been reprimanded by Minister Liu, and there were rumors in the mansion that she had behaved inappropriately and was about to lose favor. Otherwise, Chunjuan, her maid, would not have gone to the kitchen and made such a scene, making it seem as if the lady was going to be abandoned.

In just one day, the situation suddenly became clear. Did she miss something?

Xu Yao raised his eyes to peek, only to find that Chunjuan was missing. Wasn't she the mistress's personal maid? Why wasn't she serving her personally?

Zhang muttered a few words, saying that during today's piano competition, those girls looked down on the Madam and were waiting to see a fool of themselves. But after the Madam was humble, her superb piano skills were praised by even the great piano player invited by the Grand Princess. In this way, Madam Liu's reputation was spread.

With the title of a talented woman, you won't have to worry about getting married.

In today's world, people value literature over martial arts, and even girls in the boudoir who are literate and talented are even more welcome. So Zhang was so happy that she even asked the servants in the kitchen to add an extra meat dish.

Xu Yao went to the kitchen to get dinner. Chef Zhao had already prepared a large bowl for her. Xu Yao had a big appetite and didn't mind being laughed at as a glutton. She ate meat with her bowl in hand, and waited for Chef Zhao to come out to eat before she went over to ask her if Chunjuan had had any problems.

Chef Zhao looked at her in surprise. Have you heard the news too?

Xu Yao shook his head: "No, I saw that she was not with the lady today, so I guessed that something happened to her. What happened to her?"

Mrs. Zhao sneered, "What else can I do? I was obsessed with climbing up the social ladder, but I got caught by the Madam."

Xu Yao's eyes lit up, there was some gossip.

Mrs. Zhao said, "Didn't the eldest lady get scolded by the official a few days ago? She felt that there was no future for the eldest lady, so she wanted to find another good match. The best match in the mansion now is the eldest son. He is about to take the exam. If he passes the exam, he will be the future of the Liu family. She wanted to be someone close to the eldest son, so while the eldest lady was reflecting on her mistakes in the yard, she dressed up and went to the road to wait for the eldest son. But she didn't wait for the eldest son and bumped into the arms of the young son.

The young man was still young, so how could he understand these things? Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, he asked her if she was not afraid of getting sick or catching a cold. Chunjuan ran away in panic, and the maid who served the young man immediately told the lady about it. How could the lady bear it? She promised her to someone else last night, and her family took her back to marry her off.

Xu Yao didn't expect this to be such gossip, and he felt a little sad after hearing it. "Who did the Madam match her with?"

Mrs. Zhao sneered, "That girl is very proud. In her eyes, anyone except those from this mansion is marrying down. I heard that the lady is quite kind and found a young manager in the shop to marry her off. If it was a more vicious family, they might have married her off with an old bachelor."
