Rebirth and madness, I am no longer the mistress of this high-class family!

Shen Yuan did not know that Pei Zhaoxue found one of the people behind poisoning her.

After taking Cui Shao back home, she told him that she would return to Tingzhou for a while to deal with some private matters.

By then, if something happens, he won't have to come directly to her house to look for her. He can just write a letter and send it over.

"Also, you don't have enough money to buy a good house. I still have a lot of empty houses here. It's the snow melting season now, and it's much colder than before. If you need, you can leave the house after I Later, when I stayed here, the guest room next door had already been decorated with ground dragons, so it would never get cold to you."

For Cui Shao, Shen Yuan never concealed how much he cared about him.

Although Zhi Luo knew this, he was still a little stunned and curious every time he saw Shen Yuan almost wishing to give away all the good things when he treated Cui Shao.

If you are just a lifesaver, isn't this too much?

Cui Shao's status in the palace is now rising steadily, and the things he has to do are gradually getting on track. He has more confidence to do things that he once wanted to do, but did not dare to do because of his low self-esteem.

So beyond Zhiluo's expectation, he agreed directly.

"Okay, since it's comfortable to live here, little Yuan'er, I'll come over to live with you first. My shabby house is indeed a bit too cold. You see, there are a lot of frostbites here."

He said, stretching out his big hand hidden in his sleeve.

As expected, there were a lot of red traces of frostbite on it, and the hands were swollen a little abnormally.

Shen Yuan took a look at the condition of the frostbite and knew at a glance that it was not caused recently.

She frowned and asked Cui Shao to follow. She went to ask the doctor to come over and prescribe chilblain ointment for him, and asked him, why didn't he tell him earlier?

"You should have had chilblains a long time ago, right? If you had applied the ointment earlier, it would not have happened. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Cui Shao has no other friends but Shen Yuan.

On weekdays, he was so busy in the palace that he could not rest. It was impossible for the palace doctor to treat eunuchs like them. Every time he went off duty, he would stay very late, and the medical clinics outside were almost closed. .

He didn't care much about it himself. He would always come to look for Shen Yuan as soon as possible on holidays, and he couldn't bear to waste a breath of time on other things.

As time goes by, there is almost no chance to treat the frostbite.

This is the truth. He looked at the extremely concerned expression of the girl in front of him and lied.

He looked dim and said in a rather lonely tone:

"Because Xiao Yuan'er has not reconciled with Pei Zhaoxue before, and the two of you are still husband and wife, I will not be too careless, lest others find out, misunderstanding me is secondly, and most importantly, I'm afraid of insulting your reputation, and I'm also afraid that Pei Zhaoxue will attack you because of this."

The implication is that now that they have reconciled, he no longer needs to be as restrained as before.

Shen Yuan understood his surprise, stared at Shao Qing's handsome face with a half-mask, pursed her lips and told him: "In fact, you don't have to restrain yourself from the beginning, I don't care what unexpected people think of me. , let alone what Pei Zhaoxue thinks, there is no place for him in my heart anymore, you should know that."

The frostbite ointment is cold, and when I applied it to the frostbite wound, I still had a biting cold feeling.

But now, after Cui Shao listened to Shen Yuan's words and then felt her action of applying the ointment, he suddenly felt a strange burning sensation starting in the area where the ointment had been applied.

"There is no place for him anymore," the young man murmured, the color in his dark eyes began to surge, and his throat became a little dry.

It was obvious that he wanted to say something that he had wanted to say a long time ago but had never dared to say.

Shen Yuan didn't notice anything unusual about him. She said "hmm" and rolled up the sleeve of his right hand to see if he also had frostbite on his right hand.

Her weak, boneless little hand held his big hand and began to look through it carefully.

At this time, Cui Shao changed his passive attitude and took the initiative to hold her little hand.

"Xiao Yuan'er, I" "Miss, there's a letter from Miss Miao, saying it's urgent, so you must reply as soon as possible."

Shen Yuan broke free from Cui Shao's restraints, frowned and took the letter, asking Cui Shao to wait while she went to the study, and he would talk slowly about what he had to say after the matter was dealt with.

Cui Shao had no choice but to keep silent, retracting the big hand that had just held her little hand, rubbing the part where he had touched her flesh with his fingertips, and said with a helpless smile: "Okay, then you go and do your work first."

After entering the study, Shen Yuan opened the letter and took a look, and then she realized why Miao Sha was so anxious this time.

It turned out that many clothing stores and jewelry stores saw their good business and began to imitate them. They also purchased cotton and made cotton-padded clothes of similar styles to theirs.

And they sold it at a much lower price than them, taking away a lot of business.

This turn of events was what Shen Yuan had expected.

Of course everyone can do the cotton-padded clothes business later on.

But how to stand out in the competition cannot just rely on imitation.

She asked Zhi Luo to fetch the box she had stored earlier and send it over with the letter she would write later.

"When you send the letter, remember to include a sentence to ask her to stay put and just do what I said in the letter."

There are hundreds or even thousands of ready-to-wear shops, large and small, in the capital. If one shop starts to follow suit, more shops will follow suit.

In the end, under vicious competition, the price of cotton-padded clothes will only get lower and lower. When the price is low, the cost will naturally decrease. If the quality of the cotton-padded clothes made is not good, customers will naturally not buy it.

Haoyi Store continues to maintain its expected standard. Customers who want high-quality products at low prices will naturally choose it.

Furthermore, spring is about to start, and the business of cotton-padded clothes will soon be difficult to do. Instead of focusing a lot of energy on this, it is better to start developing new clothes.

After writing the reply, Zhi Luo left the house with the letter and a wooden box of design drafts. Shen Yuan went to Cui Shao again to ask him what he wanted to tell her before, but he refused to speak.

He just said that he would tell her after she came back from Tingzhou.

When she returned to Tingzhou, she undoubtedly wanted to cut off the last contact with the Pei family.

Just wait a little longer until she can deal with the last of her troubles.

Cui Shao refused to talk now, and Shen Yuan didn't force him. When Pei Zhaoxue got a message, saying that he was going back to Tingzhou, he hitched a carriage and left early the next morning.

On the way, when the carriage stopped to rest, Pei Zhaoxue told her the news he had investigated from Yu Chiye.

"We can't touch Yu Chihui directly at the moment. If we don't alert the enemy, we won't be able to find out who the real mastermind behind the Gongsun family is."

"And the addressee on the letter is only replaced by the character Huai. Take a look."

Shen Yuan received a few wrinkled letters, and after reading them, her first reaction was that something was wrong.

Who would be so stupid as to declare his family name directly?

The name of the Gongsun family or those with the character "Huai" in their names refer to the current prince Gongsun Ming.

His pseudonym was Huaiyuan, and both the queen and the emperor liked to call him Ahuai in private. As long as this word was mentioned, they could think of him.

So he frowned and said, "No, this is probably misleading us."

Cui Shao: Ah ah ah, I can’t hold it in anymore!
