Mo Zhaohua did not look at Mu Xueyan. Even when she was outside, she tried her best to keep her eyes straight.

However, she listened to every word Mu Xueyan said. She was helpless to see her being opposed to her.

She could have driven other women out of the house, but if she drove away the orphan girl entrusted to her by her benefactor, it would be unfair to Chu Xuanchi.

Chu Xuanchi naturally followed her instructions, "It's up to you. If you really like this, you can go shopping here and buy whatever you like."

Mu Xueyan touched her purse and said, "But Xue'er has no money and can't afford it..."

Chu Xuanchi chuckled, "Don't worry about the money, Wuying will pay for it, Xue'er just needs to buy it."

Mu Xueyan smiled instantly, "This is what Brother Yu Wang said himself, so Xue'er was really bold to buy it."

Chu Xuanchi nodded, "Go ahead, don't walk too fast, I can't keep up."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Xueyan had already taken Tao Yao to a roadside stall filled with jewelry.

She picked up a hairpin with her left hand and a pearl flower with her right hand, "This one looks good, this one is also good, let me try them both."

Tao Yao took the jewelry she handed over, and for fear of hurting her, she carefully inserted it into her hair. It did look pretty.

Mu Xueyan quickly ran to Chu Xuanchi and asked with a smile, "Brother Yu Wang, which one would look better on Xue'er?"

Chu Xuanchi glanced at them perfunctorily and didn't care. "They all look good. If Xue'er likes them, buy them all."

Mo Zhaohua reminded him in a low voice, "Husband, are you sure you really want to buy jewelry for Miss Mu here?"

This ten-mile-long street named Yonghe Street is adjacent to Yong'an Street, but it is exactly the opposite of it.

There are many shops on Yong'an Street, and the people coming in and out are either rich or noble. There are roadside stalls here, and the things are cheap.

It’s not that Mo Zhaohua looks down on this place, but he is concerned about Chu Xuanchi’s face, especially since he is buying jewelry for Mu Xueyan.

Mu Xueyan's pretty face immediately fell, "Why, is it not possible? Or are you reluctant to part with that little money?"

Mo Zhaohua said gently: "What's this little money? The monthly allowance I give you can buy the whole stall."

Ever since she learned of Mu Xueyan's identity, she decided to raise her as a legitimate daughter, and naturally she would have to give her a monthly allowance.

"What monthly allowance?" Mu Xueyan raised her voice, "Don't talk nonsense, I have never seen your money."

Yueying chimed in, "Miss, the mansion pays out the monthly allowance on the 15th of every month. It's not the time yet, so naturally you can't see it."

Mu Xueyan didn't believe Mo Zhaohua, so she confirmed with Chu Xuanchi, "Brother Yu Wang, is this true? Xue'er also gets a monthly allowance?"

Chu Xuan knew about this sooner or later. "The princess is in charge of the household affairs of the palace. If she says there is, then it will certainly not be less. Xue'er, just wait."

When Mo Zhaohua mentioned this matter to him, he let her make her own decision. He believed that she could handle it well.

Mu Xueyan was about to speak when the vendor called out to her, "Miss, do you still want this pearl flower? This lady wants to buy one too."

"Yes, why not?" She took off the hairpin and pearl flower on her head, "I want both of them."

Mo Zhaohua wanted to stop him, "My husband, if you buy jewelry for the daughter of your benefactor at a roadside stall, I'm afraid it will give people something to blame if it gets out."

Wuying also chimed in, "Please forgive me for speaking frankly, this is indeed not good. Those who know about it think that the girl likes it, while those who don't know about it think that the master is stingy."

Chu Xuanchi then said, "Xue'er, I think this pearl flower is old-fashioned and the hairpin is cheap, and it doesn't match your appearance and status."

Mu Xueyan asked uncertainly, "Taoyao, is that so?"

Tao Yao was very sensible, "Miss, you are the adopted sister of His Royal Highness the Prince. You should really wear better jewelry, otherwise you will be laughed at."

Mu Xueyan casually gave the hairpin and pearl flower to Tao Yao, "In that case, I don't want them anymore, you can go back."

Chu Xuanchi took the opportunity to suggest, "Let's go to Yong'an Street. There are rouge, powder, and expensive jewelry. Xue'er will definitely like them."

Mu Xueyan remembered the place name, "Isn't that the place my sister-in-law mentioned?"

Chu Xuanchi nodded, "Yes, the princess is more familiar with Shengjing City than I am, and she is a woman, so the recommendation to you will not be wrong."

"Oh..." Mu Xueyan glanced at Mo Zhaohua again, "Since Brother Yu Wang speaks so highly of my sister-in-law, let's go and take a look."

They quickly got on the carriages and finally stopped at the intersection of Yong'an Street. Mu Xueyan and Tao Yao got off the carriages and were stunned.

There are relatively few small vendors on Yong'an Street; instead, there are various shops along the street, most of which sell rouge, powder, jewelry, silk, and ready-made clothing.

Everyone who came in and out was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with their hair covered with pearls and jade, and they were accompanied by maids. One could tell at a glance that they were either rich or noble.

Mu Xueyan was born in southern Xinjiang, where wars were raging and people were living in poverty. There would never be such a grand spectacle. She watched for a long time without looking away.

She exclaimed in a low voice, "My God, it is indeed much more prosperous than the previous street. If I had known this, why would I have lingered there?"

Tao Yao took the opportunity to speak well of Mo Zhaohua, "So the princess really wanted to bring you out to play, and she picked a good place for you."

Mu Xueyan raised her hand and knocked her head in dissatisfaction, "I don't want you to talk too much."

Chu Xuanchi called out, "Let's go, Xue'er, you can take your time strolling around. We can have lunch outside at noon, and continue playing outside in the afternoon."

"Xue'er thanks Brother Prince Yu very much." Mu Xueyan did not walk with lotus steps like the girls in Shengjing, but with big strides.

She was so excited that she didn't care about whether Chu Xuanchi was inconvenient, and hurried away with Taoyao, and Yueying quickly followed.

A luxurious carriage suddenly crashed into Mu Xueyan like a horse out of control. Tao Yao was so scared that she shouted, "Miss, be careful!"

Mu Xueyan knew kung fu and had quick reactions, so she immediately flew up and avoided the horse, and the crisis was instantly resolved.

Yueying also took action in time and kicked the horse's head. The groom took the opportunity to rein in the horse hard and finally stopped it.

Mu Xueyan shouted, "Don't you have eyes? You're rushing around like this. What if you get someone hurt?"

The coachman jumped off the carriage and said, "I'm really sorry, young lady. The horse was frightened and almost hurt you. I apologize to you."

"Do you know who I am? How dare you bump into me? If anything happens to me, even ten heads of yours wouldn't be enough to compensate me."

Mu Xueyan's eyes widened and she was extremely angry. If she had not reacted quickly, she would have been hit by the crazy horse, which would have ruined her mood.

She forgot that even if she didn't run away in time, Yueying would save her. Just now, Yueying had already leaped towards her.

Chu Xuanchi was quickly pushed over. He was very unhappy that she was using her status to pressure others, and he shouted, "Xue'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Mu Xueyan pouted in dissatisfaction, and her eyebrows furrowed, "It was clearly their fault, and it was Xue'er who was almost injured!"

A cold male voice came from the carriage, "What's going on?"
