Actually, in that situation back then, His Highness was not the only one who sacrificed himself.

However, he only dared to think about such things in his heart.

“I’ll get the staff from the registry to take the measurements for that girl tomorrow. When the time comes, I’ll make more clothes and send them to her. She’s wearing such shabby clothes all day. She’ll embarrass Ce’er.”

At this point, she said uncomfortably, “Take that woman’s measurements too.”

Eunuch Yu was stunned. When he realized who the woman she was talking about was, he quickly lowered his head and agreed.

As soon as Shen Yijia returned home, she carried the eight wooden boxes into the central room.

She opened them one by one. The gold, silver, and jade artifacts inside almost blinded her.

Ji Luo did not know what had happened outside and thought that Shen Yijia regretted it halfway.

After all, she could tell that her daughter was a little money-grubber.

Seeing that she was so happy over such a small thing, Ji Luo found it funny and heartbreaking. If Jiajia had been used to this since she was young, she definitely wouldn’t be like this.

“MO Yuan, there’s no need to unload the plates. Let’s pull these to the pawnshop.”

With that, she prepared to move again.

Ji Luo stopped her helplessly. “How would the pawn shops outside dare to accept these things? Keep them as your dowry.”

“Dowry?” Shen Yijia was puzzled. “But I’m already married.”

Ji Luo froze for a moment and turned around to help her cover a few boxes. “Who said that dowry can only be added when you get married? As long as it’s something you brought to your husband’s family, it can be considered a dowry.”

“Is that so?” Shen Yijia looked at her “busy” back in disbelief.

“Of course!”

“But it’s too troublesome to bring these things to Great Xia. Let’s exchange them for gold.”

Originally, banknotes were the most convenient. Unfortunately, there was no paper currency connecting the two countries.

As she spoke, she was about to move again.

Ji Luo stopped her again. Meeting Shen Yijia’s suspicious gaze, she explained, “There’s no hurry.”

Shen Yijia blinked. Why?

Ji Luo felt guilty under her gaze.

MO Yuan continued, “The commoners all know that Empress Dowager Zhou gave these things to Miss. If Miss pawns them today, Empress Dowager Zhou will definitely hear about it.”

“MO Yuan is right. That’s what I mean.” Ji Luo echoed, “Besides, these pawn shops might not dare to accept these things. Why don’t we let MO Yuan ask around if there’s a black market in Phoenix City before selling them?” nov)elu-sb)C/0/m

“That works too.”

Although she was not afraid of Empress Dowager Zhou, it was better to avoid trouble. It was better not to cause trouble for her beautiful husband.

Seeing that she finally nodded, Ji Luo secretly gave MO Yuan a thumbs up.

Unable to cash out immediately, Shen Yijia began to think about Song Jingchen, who had gone out. However, he and Thirty Thousand didn’t return for dinner.

Not only him, but even Xuanyuan Ce, who visited every day, did not come today.

After dinner, the mother and daughter sat in the courtyard and chatted. Phoenix City was already a little hot in May.

Shen Yijia fanned herself with a fan. She remembered that Ji Luo was still wearing a thick veil.

She said tentatively, “Mother, I have the spiritual liquid. Why don’t...” Ji Luo knew what she meant and asked, “Do you care?”

Did she care about having a mother who looked like a ghost?

“Of course not.” Shen Yijia quickly shook her head. “I just want to see Mother’s original appearance. They all say that we’re very similar, but I’ve never seen it before.”

Ji Luo did not say anything for a moment.

Afraid that she would think too much, Shen Yijia continued, “If Mother doesn’t want to treat it, then let’s not treat it.”

“Alright,” Ji Luo suddenly said.

Shen Yijia was stunned. For a moment, she could not react to her words.

Ji Luo raised his hand to touch his face. “I’ve been telling Xuanyuan Ce that the past is in the past. In fact, I’m the one who really can’t get over it.”

“Mother.” Shen Yijia regretted mentioning this.

“I can still see you and hear you call me Mother. All of this is developing in a good direction. I shouldn’t dwell on the past anymore. I should move on.” The corners of Ji Luo’s lips under the veil curled up. “I can’t embarrass you when we go to Great Xia.”

The fact that she said that meant that she would not stay in the Xuanyuan Kingdom anymore.

Shen Yijia wanted to say that no matter what she looked like, she would not embarrass her, but she was afraid that she would change her mind.

Without saying anything, she ran back to the house and took out a porcelain bottle. She dripped the spiritual liquid into it and handed it to her.

Ji Luo put away the porcelain bottle, and Shen Yijia did not ask further.

When Song Jingchen returned, it was already midnight. The lights in the house were still on. He pushed open the door and saw Shen Yijia sleeping at the table.

He helplessly went forward and carried her to the bed. His movements were very gentle. Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, Shen Yijia opened her eyes in a daze.

“Hubby, you’re back?”

Song Jingchen patted her back rhythmically. “Yes, continue sleeping.”

Shen Yijia wanted to ask him where he had gone, but Song Jingchen’s voice and movements were too hypnotic. She fell asleep again.

When she woke up, she found out from MO Yuan that Song Jingchen had gone out.

This time, it would take a day and a night for him to return.

Shen Yijia was so angry that she almost exploded on the spot. She seriously suspected that Song Jingchen was deliberately coaxing her to sleep so that she wouldn’t ask.

Due to her anger, when the embroiderer in the palace said early in the morning that she wanted to measure her size and make clothes for her, she was chased out without hesitation..
