After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Song Mingli met Zi Su's surprised gaze and smiled slightly.

"I want to buy a shop for Qi Xu so that he can devote himself to design."

Zi Su nodded in agreement, "Are you looking to buy a clothing store?"

"We already have a silk shop, so can we sell ready-made clothes as well?"

Why buy another shop?

Song Mingli shook his head and said, "I don't want to buy a clothing store. I want to open a jewelry store."

"W-what?" Shisu was shocked.

It seems that she still underestimated the young lady.

She thought that it was the 20,000 taels that Princess Taihua had just given her, and it felt like a hot treasure in her pocket!

Now it seems that, haha, the twenty thousand taels are probably not enough at all!

"Very few aristocratic families buy ready-made clothes outside. And clothes don't have much collectible value."

Song Mingli said slowly, "It would be a pity if Qi Xu's exquisite designs were all used on clothes."

"But jewelry is different. Classic jewelry can not only be worn for years, but can even be passed down as a family heirloom to future generations."

"Qi Xu's designs won't be wasted if they're used on jewelry."

The corners of Shisu's mouth twitched.

She agreed with the young lady's words in her heart, but she also felt that the young lady's investment was too generous!

The investment required to open a jewelry store is huge.

From what the young lady said, the jewelry sold in the silver shop should be of high-end style.

The target customers are wealthy and prestigious nobles.

So first of all, the shop should be located in East Street or Zhuque Street, which have excellent locations and extremely high land prices.

If you want to open a big shop, in addition to good design, craftsmen with good craftsmanship are also indispensable.

Sufficient gold and silver must be invested in it... Oh, by the way, gold is readily available, and we can continue to cooperate with Princess Taihua!

Didn’t the young lady and Princess Taihua discover a gold mine in Yunzhong Mountain that they bought?

Zi Su is counting the initial investment on his fingers.

Song Mingli suddenly said, "Stop the car!"

"Look, Zisu, don't you have a pillow if you're not sleepy?"

After being reborn, her luck is really amazing.

Song Mingli looked at a shop on the street and smiled.

Zi Su followed her gaze and saw an exquisite two-story building with a sign outside that read "Shop for Sale."

"Hey, Baoqing Silver Shop is a time-honored brand. Why is it suddenly closing down?" Zi Su asked in surprise.

Baoqing Silver House has been in Kyoto for at least thirty years.

It is an old-established silver shop with many stable customers.

"Let's go down and take a look." Song Mingli was about to get off the car to ask.

But then I saw an old friend coming down from the second floor of the silver shop.

Zi Su also recognized the other person at once, "Hey, isn't that Xiao Taohong? Is she here to buy jewelry?"

Song Mingli didn't expect to meet Xiao Taohong here.

Last time, Xiao Taohong helped her act out a play, which was so effective that she sent Su Yi to the Gu family.

She hasn't thanked Xiao Taohong in person yet.

Since they met here, Song Mingli planned to say hello.

As soon as Song Mingli got off the carriage, he saw a group of people blocking Xiao Taohong's way.

"Xiao Taohong, I invited you to tea several times but you didn't give me any face. I didn't expect to meet you here!" Zhou Hui stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Taohong, touching his chin with a greasy smile.

He reached out to put his hand on Xiao Taohong's shoulder.

Xiao Taohong quickly dodged and bowed, "Thank you for your kindness, Master Zhou. I am just an opera singer, and I don't deserve such a big honor from you, Master Zhou."

"Oh, I want to invite you for tea, just come, why are you talking so much nonsense?" Zhou Hui's eyes were full of greed, "You don't have a show today, you don't have to rush back. Just accompany me for tea!"

Zhou Hui reached out and touched Xiao Taohong's fair and delicate cheek.

Xiao Taohong took another step back and avoided his hand.

The young man behind her took a step forward and stood in front of Xiao Taohong, "Master Zhou..."

"Get out of here! What's your business?" Grandpa Zhou slapped the young man in the face with his backhand.

The young man was thin and weak. He covered his face and staggered two steps. He was immediately pulled aside by Zhou Hui's followers.

"Xiao Taohong, I invite you to tea to give you face! Don't be shameless!" Zhou Hui snorted and laughed, his eyes wandering up and down Xiao Taohong.

Song Mingli was outside the shop, and when he saw his naked eyes, he felt chilled and nauseous.

The shopkeeper and guests in the jewelry store pretended not to see anything and no one stepped forward to help Xiao Taohong.

After all, Xiao Taohong is just an actor.

Zhou Hui is the legitimate son of the Zhou family and the brother-in-law of the third prince.

To offend him is to offend the third prince.

Probably no one would be willing to offend the third prince for a little actor.

Song Mingli's eyes narrowed slightly. She hesitated for a moment, but decided to help Xiao Taohong.

Both for Xiao Taohong and for...my previous self.

"Miss!" Zi Su grabbed Song Mingli's arm.

"do not go!"

Shisu held her tightly and shook her head desperately.

Only then did Song Mingli realize that Zi Su's face was frighteningly pale.

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

Song Mingli hurriedly held Zi Su's hand.

Only then did she realize that Zi Su's hands were cold and her palms were full of cold sweat.

Shisu was trembling slightly and her breathing was a little rapid.

"I...I don't know either. I am just very scared and feel very uneasy."

Zi Su swallowed hard, "No one around here dares to provoke that person. I'm afraid he has some powerful background. Let's... stop causing trouble, okay?"

After saying this, Zi Su lowered her head in shame.

Out of conscience and emotion, she wanted to help Xiao Taohong.

But the inexplicable panic in my heart overwhelmed everything else.

Song Mingli felt that Zi Su's condition was abnormal... Suddenly, she was startled and remembered what she had heard from the servants in the marquis' mansion in her previous life.

"Zi Su was sent by the Marquis to the Third Prince's staff..."

She then asked the servants in the Marquis's Mansion who the perilla was given to.

The servants in the marquis's mansion refused to say.

Now that I think about it, maybe in the previous life, Perilla was given to Zhou Hui by Gu Qingshan.

Zhou Hui was a greedy and lustful man who had no compassion for women. The number of concubines he tortured to death was probably too many to be counted on one's hands.

Thinking of this, Song Mingli did not hesitate.

She stepped forward to stop Zhou Hui and his entourage.

"Let her go!"

"Oh, haha? Instead of a hero saving the beauty, a beauty came to save her today?" Zhou Hui looked at Song Mingli with a flattering smile.

His smile was frivolous and slippery, making people feel uncomfortable.

Xiao Taohong recognized Song Mingli, and hope blossomed in her anxious eyes.

"Ma'am! It's you!"

Song Mingli nodded to Xiao Taohong.

"This is my friend, Mr. Zhou, please release him, otherwise the matter will be reported to the government office, which will make everyone embarrassed." Song Mingli looked at Zhou Hui coldly.

Zhou Hui laughed, "You know me? Do you know who I am?"

"The eldest son of the Zhou family, the third prince's brother-in-law." Song Mingli said lightly.

Zhou Hui stopped smiling and looked at Song Mingli again, "You know who I am, but you still dare to meddle in my business?"

Song Mingli also snorted and laughed, "That means I'm not afraid."

"Ha! What a big tone!" Zhou Hui looked at Song Mingli, then at the person behind her, and then at the carriage she was riding in.

Song Mingli brought only a few people with him, and their carriage was not luxurious.

Compared with Zhou Hui's carriage, her carriage looked very low-key.

"Since you're not afraid, let's go sit together. She's your friend, and she's also my friend, so we're all friends!"

"Let's go. Mr. Zhou is treating us today. I'd like to ask the two beauties to have a drink. You won't refuse to show your respect, will you?"
