When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Xu Xinyue subconsciously wanted to seek her father's help.

Only then did she remember that it seemed like she hadn't seen her father for a long time since she came here.

Isn’t daddy in Kyoto right now?

"Xiao Shu, where is Daddy? Where is he now?"

"Miss..." Xiao Shu hesitated for a while, with a look of reluctance on his face. Ever since she woke up on the way, the young lady seemed to be different from before.

How could you even forget that the master had passed away a long time ago!

"Miss, the master has passed away for many years... Don't you remember?"

Xiao Chan's words made Xu Xinyue feel a little scared. She felt dizzy and faint. She sat down on the edge of the table, feeling exhausted. "What... happened?"

"Miss, it was in the autumn four years ago when the master went out to do business and met Shi Hong, and then..."

"Shihong? ...About what day?"

She probably already had a guess in her mind, but she still wanted to ask again without giving up.

"It was around October 25th of the eighth year of the Xuan calendar..."

There was a fishy taste between Xu Xianyue's teeth. She took a deep breath and waved to Xiaochan: "I know. You go down first."

Xiao Chan was worried about Xu Xinyue. Although she was out of her sight, she didn't go too far. She was quietly watching her from a place where Xu Xinyue couldn't see her. If there was any accident, she could be the first to rush over.

Xu Xinyue's ears were filled with buzzing sounds. She held her head with her hands, unable to accept it.

Qin Yuechuan's recent words lingered in her mind. No wonder he always avoided her questions.

Is this actually the case?

"Shi Hong...Xuanli Year 8, October 25th..."

Isn't it——

In a trance, she seemed to hear the roar of huge rocks rolling down, the frightened shouts of the crowd and... her own crying.

Heavy rain, rock torrents, mountain roads, horse-drawn carriages, one broken scene after another flashed through my mind.

Like a lost traveler finally found his direction in the morning mist.

The blurry silhouette in front of me gradually became clear.

She recalled that her father was missing in the stone flood accident.

Xu Xinyue's slightly confused and empty eyes gradually regained clarity.

She clearly realized that no matter in reality or in her current dream, her father would never come back!

A huge sadness overwhelmed her heart, but Xu Xinyue was too weak to cry.

What's the use of crying? In the present moment, in reality, Daddy is no longer here.

In this world, I have lost both my parents, and the only one who can still be saved is Qin Yuechuan.

She felt so tired, and everything here made her want to escape. Even though she told herself again and again that this was just a dream, the development of certain events was too real and scary.

There was no time to grieve, she had important things to do.

Xu Xinyue tried her best to calm herself down, telling herself over and over again: "Hold on a little longer, Xu Xinyue, hold on a little longer, you still have things to do."

Xu Xinyue calmed herself down. She had to keep herself busy so that she would have no time to be sad and painful.

Thinking back carefully, she remembered that her father had given her a jewelry store, Huacai Pavilion, which had been well-known five years ago. She asked Xiao Shu to bring the jewelry store's account book and read it carefully. Now this store has become one of the leading stores in Kyoto.

The gold and silver jewelry sold in the shop were very popular among the wives and daughters of high-ranking officials in Kyoto. Xu Xinyue even found Xu Baiyu's name on the list of distinguished guests!

In one month, more than a dozen sets of gold hairpin jewelry are customized.

Sure enough, now that she was a royal concubine, the first thing she had to do was to satisfy her once unsatisfied desires.

However, it is fortunate that she has desire, otherwise, how can she lure the snake out of its hole and achieve her goal.

According to the list of VIP guests, Xu Baiyu sent someone to visit the shop almost every three to five days. Based on the time she came to the shop recently, she would come to the jewelry shop as early as this afternoon and at the latest the day after tomorrow.

Xu Xinyue rubbed his eyebrows and asked Xiaochan to pass the message to the owner of Huacai Pavilion.

Rescuing Qin Yuechuan is her only psychological support here. It is not the last desperate situation yet, everything is still possible.

Sure enough, Xu Baiyu sent someone to Huacai Pavilion that afternoon. The person who came was Qiu Lian. Her status had risen along with Xu Baiyu's. Judging from the jade hairpin and jewelry on her head, she must be at least a head aunt.

She proudly took out a custom order form and said, "How is the jewelry our master ordered a few days ago?

The shopkeeper received instructions from Xu Xinyue that if anyone came, he must detain the distinguished guest and pass a message to her, but he must not delay her plan.

The shopkeeper took the bill, took a look at it, and saw that it was indeed his handwriting. He came forward with a smile:

"Alas, my dear guest, you are a little early. The agreed time is tomorrow.

Our jewelry is still in the hands of the jade craftsman, really..."

Qiu Lian glanced at him with disdain: "You know who our master is. We need him urgently tomorrow. If you delay, you will be punished and even lose your life!

Hurry up and ask the jade craftsman to work harder and make it quickly. I must take it back today."

The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and glanced at the door. No one had come yet, so he had to continue to delay. He said, "Yes, yes, I will hurry up. My dear guest, please go upstairs first. I will make you a cup of tea and some snacks. Please wait slowly. I will go and help you urge."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned around and winked at the waiter beside him. The waiter came up quickly, nodded to the shopkeeper, and then welcomed Qiu Lian to the private room on the third floor with a smile on his face.

The guy was very eloquent, and with a few nice words he praised Qiu Lian to the skies:

"This distinguished guest has an extraordinary temperament. You must be a daughter of a wealthy family. Look at your demeanor. You must have been raised in pampered conditions. Your hands are the most delicate and slender I have ever seen."

Qiu Lian enjoyed listening to his praise very much. The corners of her mouth were almost split to her ears and she couldn't close them. However, she pretended to be angry: "How dare you say such dirty words to me?"

"Oh, look at my mouth," the waiter slapped his lips twice, "I am a rough man, this is the first time I have seen such... I deserve to die for being so rude to you, my distinguished guest."

"Forget it. It's unintentional on your part. You work here and have seen so many noble ladies, yet you still think my hands are pretty."

Seeing that it worked, the guy continued, "That's not right. People are different, and yours is different from theirs."

……

The shopkeeper was watching in amazement, he had never expected that a young man like him could be so eloquent. This girl was at best a palace maid, he didn't have time to chat with her.

After going downstairs, he kept looking towards the door. Why hadn't the boss come yet? He didn't know how long this young man could hold out.

As I was muttering to myself, a familiar figure appeared at the door.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed: "Boss, you are here!"
