Shengjing Noble

Chapter 300 Unique 1 and 2

"Girl, no matter what, my master will never kill Muzi. I can guarantee this with my life!"

Cuiyun raised her hand confidently, her eyes full of determination.

"I believe you and your son, but I still have a lot of things to investigate. Please take me to meet the concubines who usually interact with the eldest lady."

"Okay! Please follow me."

Cuiyun took Su Lanyin and left the yard and walked towards where the concubines lived.

The Kang family's rear house should be managed by the eldest lady, but it is divided into two factions.

Some of them follow the lead of the eldest lady, while others are close to the second concubine Feng Piaopiao.

The old man had five concubines in total, and the courtyards they lived in were adjacent to each other. The rest were concubines who did not have any titles.

As for Kang Chenxi's women, since the family was not divided, he did not bring them back to support them, and they were all settled in the houses outside, so the relationships here were relatively clear and not so confusing.

The first courtyard, Feiyuxuan, is where the third concubine lives, and there are two concubines in the backyard whose names cannot be remembered.

After listening to Cuiyun's introduction, Su Lanyin took the initiative to go forward and knock on the door.

The courtyard door was opened and a little maid stuck her head out.

"Oh, isn't this Sister Cuiyun? You are such a rare guest. What brings you here?"

Cuiyun is Kang Chenxi's head maid. She has a lot of say in the mansion and the maids of the concubines are all envious of her.

This time the eldest young master was in trouble, and they were all waiting to see Cuiyun make a fool of herself, so they were all sarcastic.

Upon hearing this, Cuiyun's face changed. She suppressed her anger in her heart but remained kind on the surface.

"Jixiang, where is your aunt?"

"Do you have anything to do with my aunt?"

"Of course there is..."

Before Cuiyun could finish, Jixiang interrupted her without any hesitation, saying with a look of disdain, "Third Auntie is just resting because she is tired from embroidering."

It was obvious that she didn't want the message to be passed on. Cuiyun was about to get angry, but she saw Su Lanyin take out a golden ring from her sleeve.

"Miss, please tell them that a guest is here to visit my aunt."

When Jixiang saw the gold ring, his eyes lit up. He didn't care about yin and yang and opened the door immediately.

"Come in, I'll pass the message on."

After saying that, he went into the house happily.

Cuiyun whispered, "Young lady, why do you have to spend so much money? Such a valuable thing has been given away to this cheap bastard who flatters the powerful and bullies the weak."

Su Lanyin smiled, then lowered her voice and answered, "It's fake."

"Ah? I see..."

The two smiled at each other and said nothing more.

After what happened in the past two days, Su Lanyin knew that money makes the world go round, so if she wanted things to go smoothly, she had to spend money to buy her way.

But the money she had on her was limited after all. What if she spent it all?

Maybe because she suffered in her previous life, she always felt insecure in this life because she didn’t have enough money.

In order to save her money, she bought a lot of fake jewelry on the street, all of which looked so real.

If these people didn't sell it, they wouldn't be discovered. Anyway, it could solve her current problem and achieve her goal.

As for what was later discovered to be fake...it doesn't matter. By then she might have left here anyway.

Soon, Jixiang brought them into the house.

On the soft couch by the windowsill, a woman in green was sitting there, embroidering a purse with her head down, the needle and thread in her hands moving back and forth constantly.

Even when she heard someone coming in, she did not look up, but just continued embroidering seriously.

Cuiyun stepped forward, bowed, and introduced: "This servant greets the Third Aunt, this is Miss Su, the retainer of the Young Master."

Su Lanyin: "Hello, Third Aunt."

The third concubine's name is Yu Hui. She looks to be close to forty years old. Her skin condition is not as good as that of the first lady, and even worse than that of the second concubine.

But her eyes were indifferent and she was concentrating on embroidering, as if she didn't care at all what others thought.

On the way, Su Lanyin heard that Yu Hui was closest to the eldest lady, and most of her embroidery works were sent to the eldest lady.

"Since you are a guest, please sit down." Yu Hui said lightly.

Jixiang accepted the gold ring, so he attentively brought a cup of hot tea and placed it on the table.

Su Lanyin was not polite either. After sitting down, she did not go straight to the point, but looked around first.

Her eyes fell on a mural on the wall.

The painting shows a young girl admiring fish, and not far away, a fat yellow carp jumps out of the water.

In fact, there is nothing special about the picture itself. The reason why Su Lanyin paid attention to it is entirely because this painting is embroidered, and the most difficult thing is those water droplets, which are so lifelike.

Anyone can embroider figures, lotus flowers and carps, but the luster of the lake water and the splashing water are truly amazing.

"Third Aunt's embroidery skills are amazing. I'm afraid there's no one else like her in the world."

Su Lanyin said this sincerely, and even Cuiyun beside her nodded repeatedly.

"Of course, it's Third Aunt's embroidery, but it's very valuable. Once, a good friend of the First Madam offered a high price to sell one of her embroidery pieces back to her, but Third Aunt was reluctant to sell it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Hui paused her hand that was threading the needle and thread, and her eyes moved away from the embroidery, quietly glancing at Su Lanyin.

But unexpectedly, when she looked over, her gaze met Su Lanyin's. She was startled and quickly lowered her head to continue embroidering.

But at this moment, her hands were obviously not as steady as before.

Su Lanyin curled her lips, as if she saw through everything.

She said calmly: "Has Third Aunt heard of the Wu family in Bincheng?"

Yu Hui frowned, her eyes were obviously agitated, but she remained indifferent: "What Wu family? What does it have to do with me?"

"To be honest, Master Kang and I became good friends because of the embroidery business. Our family has been in the embroidery business for generations. Even the imperial concubines in the palace wear embroidered clothes made by my family. Many of the embroiderers in the palace are also from Bincheng."

Yu Hui put down the needle and thread in her hand, and finally turned her head to look at her, her tone still disdainful.

"Imperial merchant? If you are so great, why did you come to me? Could it be that you like the things I embroidered? Sorry, I won't sell them."

"Actually, I want to tell you that I have seen this type of embroidery before."

"what?"

Surprise flashed across Yu Hui's eyes, but then she was filled with suspicion.

"Impossible! My embroidery method is unique and no one in the world can do it!"

"But I have seen it, and I have seen a lot of it. We regularly purchase embroidery from all over the country, take samples, and then make large quantities. We even sell them to other countries. Last year, we had already imitated embroidery like yours."

Su Lanyin lied, but she was not really lying. She had indeed seen the embroidery, but she had never seen a replica.

The Wu family was indeed the largest and most powerful cloth shop in the prosperous dynasty, and was also the leader in the embroidery industry and a famous imperial merchant.
