The daughter of a general is so cool in the novel about a wealthy family

Just when Tan Jing was in trouble, Shi Xiao seemed to be in a good mood and wanted to let him go, but changed his mind, "Tan Jing, your expression has betrayed you. I am no longer curious about the answer to this question. How about I change the question, is Yuan Shu an accident in your plan, or was it premeditated?"

Tan Jing frowned. Although this question was easier to answer than the previous one, the development of the matter could not be explained in just one or two sentences!

Yuan Shu was indeed involved in the plan back then. Jiang Chen liked this silly, easy-to-control woman, the kind of woman who would pounce on handsome guys when she saw them. She would definitely be of great help at the critical moment.

Although Yuan Shu did successfully marry into the Shi family, only one month after her marriage, she seemed to have suddenly become a different person.

Originally, Shi Xiao's disappearance in Africa was the best opportunity for the Jiang family to take action against the Shi family. As long as Yuan Shu got out of control, things would be in their favor.

However, things did not develop as expected. Not only did Yuan Shu not help, her personality also changed dramatically. She united the three siblings of the Shi family and their relationship became better.

All the problems that arose were solved by her, and even Yuan'an, which had always been coveted by the Jiang family and other families, was protected by her.

If Tan Jing told Shi Xiao the truth, saying that Yuan Shu was sent to his room after Shi Xiao was drunk, would Shi Xiao believe him?

If it was really an accident, with Shi Xiao's caution, even if he was drunk, it would not be something that Yuan Shu, that fool, could easily get.

Tan Jing was in a dilemma. If he told the truth, no one would believe him. If he told a lie, no one would believe him either. So, no matter how he answered, the result would be the same!

Tan Jing raised his eyes and looked at Shi Xiao again. Suddenly, he had an idea. Since Shi Xiao avoided the main topic and asked about Yuan Shu, it meant that he was interested in Yuan Shu.

He didn't expect that the most aloof young master in this circle would actually fall in love with a woman.

However, a woman as considerate and reliable as Yuan Shu is indeed a woman that countless people fall in love with, so it is no wonder that Shi Xiao is interested in her.

"Have you thought it through?"

Shi Xiao was getting a little impatient. When he started to speak, every word he spoke made Tan Jing feel a cold murderous aura.

Tan Jing pursed her lips and said, at most she would just give it a try. If she won, this round would be over. If she lost... she couldn't lose the bet!

Tan Jing said confidently: "It doesn't matter whether Yuan Shu is arranged or not, what matters is whether you believe in her or not."

When Shi Xiao heard this, his eyes narrowed and his breathing became heavy.

Indeed, although he had tried to test Yuan Shu many times and wanted to trust this woman, his habit over the years still made him want to investigate everything thoroughly.

He vaguely guessed that the person who could make Tan Jing listen to him so obediently must be from the Jiang family. However, what was the relationship between Yuan Shu and the Jiang family? Why was it Yuan Shu that night and not someone else?

More importantly, it was really strange that Yuan Shu was entering the entertainment industry to film a TV series. Shi Xiao also found out that the investor of this TV series was actually the Xu family.

The Xu family and the Jiang family are originally in the same group. When tied together, the Xu family's investment is equal to the Jiang family's investment. However, the Jiang family has never been involved in the entertainment industry. This is the first time they have made a move, and it is related to Yuan Shu. It is really hard not to doubt their intentions.

Tan Jing knew that she had made the right bet, so she took the opportunity to flatter him, "Mr. Shi, instead of embarrassing me here, why don't you just ask Yuan Shu to let me go? No Man's Land is about to open, and we can't let the guests who come in see this, right?"

Shi Xiao sneered when he heard this, "Do you think you can guess what I'm thinking?"

Tan Jing felt something was wrong and looked at him in panic, "What...what do you want to do?"

Shi Xiao ignored him, stood up and walked out.

Police car sirens sounded outside the door.

The no-man's land was blocked by the police, and even the owner and bartender of the no-man's land were taken away by the police. This incident was reported in local newspapers and major social platforms that night and quickly became a hot topic.

The next morning, after exercising, Yuan Shu accidentally saw this news while eating breakfast. She was a little curious and wondered what had happened in the no-man's land.

But before she could read the comments carefully, the doorbell rang suddenly. Li Yue went to open the door and walked in after a while. "Young Madam, this is the package of the dress you will wear for the ball tomorrow."

Li Yue walked to Yuan Shu with the gift box. Yuan Shu put down the warm milk, stood up and opened the gift box. The dress was wrapped in cloth and the style could not be seen clearly, but there was a note on the top layer.

Yuan Shu looked at the note carefully. The handwriting was very beautiful and it was obvious that the person who wrote the note was very attentive.

She asked, “Who sent it?”

Li Yue shook her head and said she didn't know. "The courier picked up the package at the agreed time. I don't know who the sender is."

Yuan Shu thought about it and thought that this dress might be designed by Shi Yi herself, or it might be specially made for her by Shi Xiao. So he didn't think much about it and said to Li Yue, "Send it to my room first, and I'll go try it on later."

Li Yue nodded, took the gift box and went upstairs.

Yuan Shu read a magazine downstairs for a while and ate a plate of fruit before washing his hands and going upstairs.

At first, she almost forgot that she still had to try on the dress. After going upstairs, she continued reading "A General History of the World" until almost noon. Because her head was a little painful from lowering it, she put down the book, rubbed her neck, and then she saw the gift box beside the bed.

She opened the gift box and took a step back from the dress, and the appearance of the dress was finally revealed.

It was the first time that Yuan Shu saw such a beautiful dress, and she was stunned for a moment.

This dress is divided into two layers. The inner layer is a pure white tube skirt made of silk. The slim style sets off her figure perfectly. The hem of the skirt hangs to the ground, creating a trailing effect.

The outer yarn is very soft and almost transparent.

However, on this thin gauze, blooming pink peonies were embroidered using traditional double-sided embroidery techniques.

Because the gauze is almost transparent, if you don't look closely, the peonies appear to be floating in the air.

This layer of fine cloth is a long dress with narrow sleeves that fits perfectly to Yuan Shu's arms. There are no flowers on the sleeves, and the embroidery pattern starts at the bodice.

The person who made this dress must have had a very accurate grasp of Yuan Shu's measurements, otherwise it wouldn't have fit so well.

There are several hidden buttons between the two pieces of clothing, which can just make the cotton yarn and silk clothes tightly blend together. The length of the cotton yarn is exactly the same as the length of the clothes, dragging on the ground about an inch.

Putting on this dress, it was as if countless peonies were blooming on Yuan Shu's body. The patterns near the ground were mostly petals, as if so many flowers had bent the branches, making it look like a rain of flowers.

Yuan Shu carefully stroked the peony embroidered on the cotton yarn, his fingers feeling the ups and downs of the needle and thread. Every stitch and thread was just right. It seemed as if he was in a peony garden. If he smelled carefully, he could smell the rich fragrance of flowers all around.

Such embroidery skills were rare even in the palace back then!

Yuan Shu still remembers that there was such a kind of cotton yarn. It took eighty-one female workers half a year to embroider this cotton yarn, and it was then stored in the palace's treasury.

The queen had always liked this piece of cotton yarn and had asked the emperor for it many times, but never got it.

Later, he signed a treaty with a neighboring country. In order to show respect, he took out the cotton yarn and gave it to the neighboring country.

Yuan Shu didn't expect that after coming to this world, she would have the honor to wear a long dress made with the same craftsmanship. It was so luxurious.

This ball was not very grand. Compared with the ball that Yuan Shu invited the upper class to attend in his ancestral home, it was nothing.

This dance was hosted by the Liu family, and Liu Fangyu is a descendant of the Liu family.
