Chapter 65 Counterattack (2/2)

”Cousin, this man is no good. Stay away from him in the future.” Luo Mingzhu said with concern the moment they turned by the stairs.

”Alright!” Mo Xuetong smiled lightly and answered gently. Her gaze swept at Sima Lingyun who was still standing where he was earlier awkwardly. Her smile grew cold. She would not allow him to get what he wanted!

Sima Lingyun had intentionally spoken to her in public today and had wanted everyone to see her and think that they were close. This would make it seem as if they knew each other well. However, Sima Lingyun had not antic.i.p.ated that what would follow would be rumors about him and Mo Xuemin!

Mo Xuetong had emphasized on the word ”again” earlier. This made Sima Lingyun and Mo Xuemin's relations.h.i.+p rather suspicious.

He wanted to marry a daughter from the Mo family. That was great. She would make it possible for him!

He had no choice even if he did not want to!

In her past life, they had used her to climb to greater heights. This life, she would use them to achieve their goals. The incident at Clothes Pavilion today would be a large step forward in Mo Xuemin and Sima Lingyun's relations.h.i.+p. The smile by her lips grew into a mocking one. She wondered how Mo Xuemin would look when she finds out that she was the female lead in the rumors!

She looked forward to seeing Mo Xuemin. She wondered what Mo Xuemin's odds were like against Sima Lingyun's childhood love, Yun Yiqiu...

The two brought their maids into a booth upstairs, where clothes were made. The booths upstairs were different from the ones downstairs. They did not look like temporary booths. Instead, each booth was set up by a window. There were snacks where one could lean against the railing and enjoy tea while looking at the scenery on the streets. Even if one did not come to make clothes, this was a good place to relax.

There were cloths upstairs as well, each and every one of them was exquisite. A bespoke dress and exquisite craftsmans.h.i.+p fee would cost a person several dozen taels of silver. This meant that those who were able to go upstairs were all either wealthy or n.o.bility. The service upstairs was naturally much better. It was more luxurious than regular teahouses.

They were welcomed into a booth not far away from the stairs. They realized that while the booths looked small on the outside, they were very s.p.a.cious inside. There were light white gauze curtains at the window that let in a little bit of the winter sun. The winter sun shone through the gauze, making it look clean and crystalline like beautiful mist.

There was a vase on the table in front of the window and in the vase, was a red plum blossom. The sunlight streamed through the window and on the pink petals, making it look fiery in its beauty. It did not look like a flower in winter, for it was delicate and stunning.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the plum blossom when they entered. The white curtains behind the plum blossom looked like a patch of white snow that stretched into the sky. The beauty and fieriness of the plum blossom drew their attention.

”What a beautiful plum blossom. I wonder where the Clothes Pavilion found it.” Luo Mingzhu could not help but praise it.

It was no wonder why she was in awe for most plum blossoms had yet to bloom. The flower on the table had not only bloomed, but it was also beautiful and stunning. There was a single proud bloom and two other flowers that had not bloomed yet. But no matter the beautiful bloomed flower or the two unbloomed ones, they were very stunning, and everyone was in awe of the flowers, and the abilities of the Clothes Pavilion.

The beautiful red plum had bloomed at a time like this. She had heard, in her past life, that there was such a bloom in the palace. Did someone from the palace have something to do with Clothes Pavilion? She frowned slightly. Then, she felt that it was normal for the shop to have the palace as a backing. After all, the shop was large and located on a bustling street. They sold exquisite bolts of cloth and beautiful garments. A business like this would have a huge expenditure. How could they sustain their business if not for the backing of the palace?

”Cousin, cousin...” Luo Mingzhu called out for Mo Xuetong who was staring at the plum blossom in front of the window dazedly. Mo Xuetong was startled out of her reverie when Luo Mingzhu tugged on her sleeves impatiently.

”Cousin, I'll head over there first. Wait for me here. Since you like the plum blossom so much, shall I ask the shop for it? It will save you from looking at it in a daze and forgetting what you have come here for. Let me tell you, you have to pick a few bolts of cloth to make clothes or grandmother will scold me for bullying you and not making you clothes!” Luo Mingzhu said with a smile. She seemed to be in a good mood and have forgotten the incident that happened downstairs.
