Cen Ying guessed that the young woman in front of her was Xing Xiaoya. Her heartbeat quickened and she rarely felt nervous.

You have to know that as a marquis's wife for most of her life, she has dealt with a lot of big and small matters, and has long developed a calm and self-controlled character. However, when facing this powerful charmer, she still can't help but be nervous.

She tried hard not to look at Xing Xiaoya and just glanced at the drawings.

The shopkeeper politely replied, "The pattern on this jade pendant is very delicate. From my perspective, it looks like the work of a master craftsman. If it were handed over to an ordinary craftsman, the result would be very crude."

Cen Ying couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. The owner of the shop that brought her eldest daughter-in-law as a dowry had a sharp eye. The jade pendant was indeed made by Master Yue Ran.

"Is it impossible to make it? This jade pendant was worn by a very important person of mine, but it was accidentally lost and has never been found again, so I wanted to make one for him." Xing Xiaoya explained specially.

"We can make it in our store. One of our craftsmen happens to be Master Yueran's last disciple. You can come and choose the jade you want to use," the shopkeeper explained immediately.

After hesitating for a moment, Cen Ying turned around and prepared to leave.

It was enough for her to recognize Xing Xiaoya. She would meet the girl alone later. It would be better for her not to communicate with her today to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Ma'am, please wait a moment."

But just as she had made up her mind to leave, she heard Xing Xiaoya's voice from behind her, obviously trying to keep her.

Cen Ying turned around and looked at her in surprise.

"Madam, I want to make a jade pendant for a friend. Now I need to choose the jade to make it, but I come from the countryside and don't know the differences between different kinds of jade. Seeing that you have an elegant temperament, you must be from a wealthy family, so I would like to ask you to help me choose one, okay?" Xing Xiaoya spoke modestly and praised Cen Ying, but her whole attitude was calm and generous.

Cen Ying waved her hand and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't really understand either. Please ask the shopkeeper to help you choose."

After she said this, she turned and left, leaving Xing Xiaoya bewildered, obviously surprised at her indifference.

The shopkeeper couldn't help wanting to laugh, but he held it back.

The girl in front of him was good-looking, and she didn't have the rough air of a country woman, but it was really presumptuous of her to talk to a lady from a noble family.

"Come here, young lady. I'll take you to pick out jade." The shopkeeper took the initiative to resolve her embarrassment.

After Xing Xiaoya caught up, she couldn't help but ask, "Who was that noble lady just now? Does the shopkeeper know?"

"Of course she knows, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness."

"It turns out that Madam Hou doesn't understand jade either. I thought she grew up in a wealthy family and must know these things." Xing Xiaoya's tone was quite excited, and she seemed happy that Madam Hou didn't understand jade just like her.

The shopkeeper was quite speechless. He glanced at her coldly and said nothing more.

The girl looked pretty, with a pair of big eyes that were so clear that they seemed to be able to speak, and her temperament was very fresh, but she was far from being good at dealing with people.

Just as she said, the Marquis's wife grew up in a place full of gold and silver, and had been dealing with gold and jade since she was a child. How could she not know about it? She just didn't want to get involved in this matter and declined politely.

This girl's attitude is as if others would definitely help her if they understood her. This is really too naive.

Xu Wanying and Li Chunlan were at the display stand on the second floor. Xu Wanying was concentrating on looking at various jewelry when suddenly someone gently pushed her arm.

"Third sister-in-law, look, mother is talking to a young girl. She has been out these days, is it to look for this girl?"

Li Chunlan was always thinking about the stupid things she had done, so she was quietly observing Cen Ying's movements at all times. Now that she saw there was new progress, she hurried to report.

Xu Wanying immediately turned around and looked downstairs.

They stood on a high place and had a panoramic view of everything downstairs.

"That girl has a great look and temperament. Sister-in-law, look, they look a bit alike when they smile. Could it be that it wasn't just my fourth brother who was swapped? In fact, my identity is also problematic?"

Li Chunlan made full use of her unique way of thinking and came up with wild ideas. Most importantly, she asked the question.

Xu Wanying looked at her speechlessly. When their eyes met, Li Chunlan immediately said, "Third sister-in-law, don't disbelieve it. There are so many strange things in this world. What if it's true?"

It’s not that Li Chunlan is confident, but she feels that the system releases the news slowly, just like when she first learned about the deaths of her husband and father-in-law, she still doesn’t know who the mastermind is until today, and it doesn’t reveal everything all at once.

Maybe the system was short of energy before, so only one was released and replaced, and the other one didn't get a chance to be released yet?

Xu Wanying thought about it and felt that it was indeed possible. After all, the system had done many outrageous things.

[Tongzi, who is that girl down there? ]

The system said categorically: [Hehe, I won’t tell you, but it’s definitely not your sister-in-law. Jiang Jinyu is the bloodline of the Jiang family, there is no mistake! ]

Xu Wanying narrowed her eyes: [It's not true, so what are you laughing at? ]

【No comment! 】

She sneered: [If you don't tell me, I can guess. You sound so happy, which can only mean that the girl downstairs has a special identity. There is only one person who can make you so happy. Is that Xing Xiaoya downstairs? ]

The system's tone was quite excited: [Even if you guess, I won't tell you! ]

Xu Wanying wanted to roll her eyes and said unhappily: [Oh, no need to tell me, I'm sure it's Xing Xiaoya, your dog-licking personality comes out again. ]

Although the system did not admit it, its tone made Xu Wanying even more certain.

[Oh, so what if I guessed it right? Xing Xiaoya is the girl of destiny. Now she has met Cen. Look how happy they are chatting. Cen Ying will soon like her tenacious and gentle personality. She may even want to adopt her as her adopted daughter and bring her back to the Marquis' Mansion.]

[After this, they moved around more and naturally met Jiang Chengli. Everything after that happened naturally! ]

The two people below seemed to have started chatting, and the system seemed relieved. It no longer concealed the truth and simply stated the story line directly.

Xu Wanying curled her lips and said nothing.

But soon, Cen Ying turned around and left, going straight to the second floor, leaving Xing Xiaoya with a dazed look on her face.

Xu Wanying immediately started to attack: [Hey, system, is this what you said about Cen liking Xing Xiaoya? He can like her after just chatting for one sentence?]

The system was very unconvinced: [Humph, just wait and see, Cen must have come up for something else, to help Xing Xiaoya get something or something, and will soon go downstairs to continue chatting! ]

The man was chatting animatedly and didn't notice that Li Chunlan's expression suddenly changed behind him.

Her eyes widened with shock, and when she saw the marquis's wife coming up the stairs, she immediately winked at her frantically.

Cen Ying had just come up and was far away, so naturally she didn't hear the system's nonsense and therefore didn't know.

In addition, Li Chunlan's winking gestures were really puzzling. She couldn't understand it at all, but she guessed that something might have happened.

"Where is Jinyu?" she asked proactively.

"My little sister said she was tired and wanted to rest in the box. Mom, why don't we go in and keep her company?" Li Chunlan took the initiative to answer, and walked up enthusiastically, wanting to hold Cen Ying's hand and walk into the box.

Her movements were very urgent, and it was obvious that she wanted to hold Cen Ying back and not let her go downstairs again.

Cen Ying raised her eyebrows slightly. She already had an idea in her mind. She was afraid that the system had just told her Xing Xiaoya's identity.

The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and the two of them all rushed to the private room, and after sitting down, they began to talk about family matters.

The system waited for a long while, but saw no other movement from Cen Ying, so it immediately asked in confusion: [No, no, why doesn't Cen go downstairs? Xing Xiaoya is still downstairs? ]
