MO Ruyue walked to the capital in one go.

After arriving in the capital, she took the token given by Xue Qing and found the Xue Family Bodyguard Agency. She found out that Gu Ying was also staying here. He would only eat, drink, and pee in the examination hall for the next few days. After leaving the examination hall, he would also come here.

MO Ruyue first inquired about the location of the examination hall from the bodyguard agency. After finding out, she went to buy things for the children.

The streets of the capital were not comparable to those of Kaoshan Town or Lianshan County. The degree of prosperity was comparable to that of the later generations.

She casually glanced at the stalls selling flower accessories on the street. They were not suitable for children to wear, so she did not go to look.

Coincidentally, there was a jewelry shop on her right. MO Ruyue went straight into the shop.

As soon as she entered, she saw two familiar white figures.

The two white figures had also noticed her when MO Ruyue entered. The Yuan Sisters thought that they had mistaken her for someone else, but after taking a closer look, they realized who it was if not MO Ruyue!

The two sisters looked at each other and saw MO Ruyue walking straight toward them.

Heh, was she trying to get close to them?

The Yuan Sisters waited for MO Ruyue to speak. If she was humble enough, it was not impossible for them to acknowledge her.

In the end, MO Ruyue walked straight to the counter behind them.

“Shopkeeper, please show me this.”

It was a pair of butterfly beaded flowers made of pink pearls the size of rice grains. The butterfly’s eyes were inlaid with red gems, and its tentacles were made of gold thread. It was small, cute, and beautiful. It was the most suitable for a little girl to wear, and it happened to be a pair.

MO Ruyue imagined Tang Tangs wearing those on her head. She would definitely look good wearing one on each side.

When the shopkeeper took out the butterfly beaded flower, the butterfly’s wings trembled so lifelike that it looked real.

“How much is this?”

MO Ruyue had just finished her question when a discordant voice came from the side.

“Some people are really overestimating themselves and are ignorant. They think that this flower is a cheap thing.”

“I thought it was just a rural place. You can’t bargain here.”

After Yuan Yuan finished speaking, she looked like she was waiting for a good show, waiting to see MO Ruyue get slapped in the face.

There were other people in the shop who were also looking at jewelry. When they heard Yuan Yuan’s words, they all looked at MO Ruyue.

Although MO Ruyue was dressed plainly, her appearance was not ordinary. She did not look like an ignorant person. However, one could not judge a book by its cover.

The shopkeeper was about to tell MO Ruyue the price, but he didn’t know if he should say it after Yuan Yuan’s words.

MO Ruyue wanted to pretend that she didn’t see them, but this person still dared to approach her.

“Shopkeeper, are you selling this pearl flower?

The shopkeeper saw MO Ruyue dressed like a middle-aged woman and was wearing ordinary clothes.

No, he took a closer look and saw that MO Ruyue was wearing a simple style of clothes. However, the material was not ordinary. Those who could afford to wear this kind of material were either rich or noble. Fortunately, he did not offend anyone.

“Of course, all the jewelry in this store is for sale.” The shopkeeper immediately replied with a smile.

“How much?”

“Although these pearls are only the size of a grain of rice, each of them is the same size and round in color. The four red gems on the two butterflies are imported from South Yue Kingdom. Two in a pair, sixteen taels.”

MO Ruyue nodded and pointed at another pair of lilac pearl flowers in the cabinet. They were also made of pearls and decorated with purple gemstones.

“Show me that pair too.”

This pair was a little bigger than the previous one.

“That one is even more expensive. I think you shouldn’t give it to her. Just quote her the price directly. Wait until she’s sure that she wants it before taking it. If you take it again and knock it, no one will compensate you.”

She didn’t believe that MO Ruyue would be willing to buy it. The cheapest thing here was at least ten taels of silver.

“Young ladies of the Yuan Family, are you that free? If you don’t buy things yourself, you’ll think that this shop belongs to you.”

MO Ruyue’s words rendered the Yuan Sisters speechless. However, they still didn’t leave. They wanted to see MO Ruyue suffer because she couldn’t afford to buy anything. Otherwise, how could they vent their anger?

MO Ruyue ignored them. She pointed at the other two pearl hairpins on the counter and said to the shopkeeper, “How much is the total for these two and the pair of purple beads?”

The shopkeeper didn’t think that MO Ruyue was someone who couldn’t afford it. Just the clothes she was wearing were enough to buy two pearl hairpins.

“Madam, you have good taste. You picked the latest models. The two pearl hairpins and the pair of purple pearl flowers cost a total of 112 taels.” “What about this pair of butterflies?

“Shopkeeper, I bought so many at once. Aren’t you going to give me a discount?”

The Yuan Sisters watched MO Ruyue pretend.

“Madam, this shop doesn’t bargain. However, if you buy them all, I can give you another pair of pearl flowers.”

The shopkeeper chuckled as he introduced MO Ruyue to the pearl flowers that she could gift. They were actually quite pretty and were all pearl strings, but they lacked gems.

MO Ruyue picked out a pair of small and exquisite ones for Tang Tang.

She readily paid 128 taels and asked the shopkeeper to pack up all the items she had chosen. The Yuan Sisters widened their eyes when they saw this.

They didn’t expect MO Ruyue to really buy it and spend more than a hundred taels without even blinking. How was that possible?

Could it be that she bought it now and would return it to the shopkeeper after they left? It must be like this!

Yuan Yuan called out to MO Ruyue unwillingly when she saw that MO Ruyue was about to leave the shop with her things.

“You can’t return it later!”

As for her younger sister, Yuan Shan, she did not say anything, but she did not stop Yuan Yuan.

MO Ruyue stood still and took two steps closer to Yuan Yuan. She sniffed her nose and quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands as she retreated.

“Seeing that you’re still wearing a veil, I know that the sores on your face must not have healed yet.”

“Not only have you not recovered, but you’ve become even more serious. This poison is getting more and more powerful.”

MO Ruyue was puzzled.

“Other than you, there are two other doctors in your family who didn’t notice that you were poisoned. Or could it be that they can’t even cure such a small poison? Tsk tsk, how pitiful.”

“Let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t go to crowded places, or those poisonous sores on your face will only get worse.”

MO Ruyue glanced at Yuan Yuan pitifully after she finished speaking. She then happily left with the beaded jewelry she had just bought.

There were already quite a few people in the shop. When MO Ruyue was talking about this, a few more people entered the shop and heard what MO Ruyue said. They were all looking at the Yuan sisters who were wearing veils.

“So it’s a sore on your face, but Imperial Doctor Yuan is an Imperial Doctor, and he can’t cure it?”

“I heard that Madam was poisoned. I wonder what kind of poison she was poisoned with?”

“How did Miss Yuan get poisoned? Is it true or false?”

“MO Ruyue, stop right there! Explain yourself! ‘

Yuan Yuan was so angry that she lost her mind. She rushed out of the shop and was about to chase after MO Ruyue when Yuan Shan pulled her back.

“Sister, forget it. There are too many people here. That MO Ruyue must have bad intentions. Don’t believe her.”

“Let’s go back to the residence, lest we become a joke.”

Initially, MO Ruyue did not want to bother with them, but after hearing Yuan Shan’s words, she turned around.

“The sores on your face are obviously caused by an allergy. Go back and check what you use or eat to make sure there’s something that causes you to be allergic. Often, the person you trust the most is the one who harmed you..”
