"The location of this shop is not bad, but the rent is too expensive, the cost is too high." Ye Ziyu shook her head, "I argued because I simply couldn't stand his idea. What business should women do? How can women not do business? Tsk."

"There is a concubine shop over there, let's go check it out."

As soon as she entered the shop, Ye Ziyu heard, "Caiyue, didn't your parents agree to let you out? Why are you still so depressed?" She looked and saw Huang Caiyue and Tang Wanxin.

Ye Ziyu: What a narrow road for enemies to cross. Is there no one else in this novel? Why do I always run into her? And when I do, there must be something weird going on. But shouldn’t it be my sister who runs into something weird? I’m not the heroine.

Ye Ziyu had a look of despair on her face, "Miss, what's wrong?" Lixia asked.

"Oh, it's okay. Let's go. I don't want to go shopping anymore." Ye Ziyu thought about it and was too lazy to confront him head-on, so she turned around and left.

"Ye Ziyu." Huang Caiyue saw Ye Ziyu turning around to leave and called her.

Ye Ziyu turned helplessly to look at Huang Caiyue and said with a fake smile, "I wonder what can I do for you, Miss Huang?"

"Why are you leaving now after coming in? Why don't you think that Yu Man Lou is just jewelry?" Huang Caiyue said as she walked towards Ye Ziyu.

Ye Ziyu: It’s really like putting a big “shit” basin on someone’s face.

Yu Man Lou is the number one jewelry store in the capital. Its products are finely crafted and come in a variety of styles. Many ladies and wives of officials come here specially to customize their jewelry. In addition, Yu Man Lou launches a new product every month. You can't buy a new product just by having money. You have to draw lots with money, and only if you win will you have a chance.

Saying that she looked down upon him, wouldn't that obviously make her an enemy? Not to mention whether Yu Man Lou would still do business with her in the future, other young ladies from official families would also talk about her behind her back.

"Why does Miss Huang always like to slander others?" Ye Ziyu said innocently, "I just happened to remember that my elder sister hadn't come yet, so I was going to meet up with her before visiting Yu Man Lou. Why did Miss Huang come up and say that I looked down on her?"

"Could it be..." Ye Ziyu paused, "Miss Huang spoke out her true feelings?"

"You're talking nonsense. The quality of Yu Man Lou's products is obvious to all. How could I not like them? Besides, I don't even know how many pieces of jewelry I've ordered from Yu Man Lou." Huang Caiyue said anxiously.

"Sometimes, ordering a lot doesn't mean you like it or really like it. What if Miss Huang just wanted to follow the crowd?" Ye Ziyu continued slowly, "After all, there are many possibilities for people to come in and go out. Maybe they didn't bring enough money? Maybe they didn't have enough time and decided to go shopping next time. Or maybe they were planning to bring their family or friends here like me. Why did Miss Huang's first reaction say she didn't like it?"

"So, I can only venture to guess that Miss Huang spoke her inner thoughts out. Maybe Miss Huang doesn't like it."

As soon as Ye Ziyu said this, the faces of the people around her changed, and the expressions of the servants at Yu Man Lou also changed.

"I... I didn't. I really like Yu Man Lou's jewelry. All my jewelry was custom-made at Yu Man Lou. Don't listen to her nonsense." Huang Caiyue was anxious. "She did say that before, saying that Yu Man Lou's products are just so-so. I heard that."

Ye Ziyu rolled her eyes inwardly: How stupid the author's setting for the third female character is. Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

"Ms. Huang, may I ask when did you say that? And where did you hear it?"

Huang Caiyue thought for a moment and said, "Palace Banquet, you said it yourself at the palace banquet yesterday." Huang Caiyue mentioned the palace banquet. Anyway, not many people were present at the palace banquet.

"Palace banquet? With whom?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"With that palace maid." Huang Caiyue remembered that the earrings Ye Ziyu wore seemed to be from Yu Man Lou. She also had a pair. "That palace maid said your earrings were pretty. You said it yourself. These earrings are not that good. Yu Man Lou's products are just so-so."

"Where is that?"

"It was right next to that pool. I happened to pass by and heard these words." Huang Caiyue looked at Ye Ziyu with an expression as if saying that what she said is the fact and you have nothing to say.

Ye Ziyu: Did Huang Caiyue also go to the poolside at that time? But when I was by the poolside, I clearly didn't talk to the palace maid.

"Then, Miss Huang, did you see the earrings I was wearing yesterday?" Ye Ziyu continued to ask.

"Yes, it's the one you brought today." Huang Caiyue saw that Ye Ziyu's painting seemed to be the same one from yesterday, so she pointed it out to confirm what she said.

Ye Ziyu glanced sideways and took off one of her earrings with a smile, "You are a clerk at Yumanlou, you should be very familiar with the things your family sells, take a look." Ye Ziyu handed it to the clerk.

The guy took the earrings and looked at them carefully, "This is not made in my company." Then he returned the earrings to Ye Ziyu.

Huang Caiyue's face froze. "This is exactly the same as yours. How can you say it's not yours?"

"Although Yu Man Lou has many products, we are familiar with each of them, and Yu Man Lou's jewelry will have its own exclusive mark. I looked at the earring and it doesn't have it." said the waiter.

"Miss Huang is right about one thing. I was wearing the same pair of earrings yesterday. Even if the one I said was of poor quality, it was my earrings, not Yu Man Lou's." Ye Ziyu said.

"The little palace maid doesn't understand. You can lie to her and say it's Yu Man Lou's jewelry." Huang Caiyue was still being stubborn.

"But the point is that the little maid and I did not say that."

"You can lie." Huang Caiyue said urgently.

Ye Ziyu suddenly took a step forward. Huang Caiyue was frightened and took a step back. "What are you doing?" She looked at Ye Ziyu warily.

"You said I was lying, but... you didn't lie?" Ye Ziyu stared at Huang Caiyue, who felt uncomfortable being stared at.

Ye Ziyu retracted her gaze, "You still have no evidence to prove your words. Of course, I have no way to prove that I didn't say it, but I am an upright person. I will admit what I said, and I will just treat the things I didn't say as bullshit."

Then he turned and left, leaving Huang Caiyue alone.

"Why do I feel that what Miss Ye San said is true? Look how calm she is. But Miss Huang looks more guilty." People around were talking.

"Caiyue." Tang Wanxin stepped forward and put her arm around Huang Caiyue.

"What I said is the truth. She left because she felt she couldn't stay there anymore after I told her the truth." Huang Caiyue glared at the people around her and then left.

"Caiyue, wait for me." Tang Wanxin chased after her.

"Okay, okay, let's just treat this as a joke. Ladies, continue to choose the products you like." The waiter greeted.

"Caiyue Caiyue, wait for me, don't walk so fast." Tang Wanxin trotted to catch up with Huang Caiyue.

Huang Caiyue stopped and said, "I'm so angry, Ye Ziyu." She twisted the handkerchief in her hand, "Why didn't you speak up for me just now?" Huang Caiyue questioned Tang Wanxin.

"I didn't attend the palace banquet either. If I went and said something, wouldn't it be obvious that we were slandering her?" Tang Wanxin said innocently.

"Hmph." Huang Caiyue stomped her feet and walked away.

"Caiyue, don't you want to go shopping anymore?" Tang Wanxin followed.

"Why are you still shopping? It's annoying." Huang Caiyue left.

Tang Wanxin didn't follow him, "Miss, aren't you going to follow him?"

"I won't follow you anymore." Tang Wanxin looked at Huang Caiyue's departing figure, "I'm stupid for going up to provoke her."

"Let's go back home." Tang Wanxin turned and left.
