Qin Li nodded, but in fact it was indeed the case.

Bai Yunyao recalled some of the things she learned from her neighbors and said:

"You and Chu Xinyan are having some holidays. Fu Yu's second aunt knows this. That's why she thinks that Yuan Xi doesn't agree to the matchmaker's proposal because he cares about his mentor's daughter, that is, your feelings. She is afraid that once he agrees to that marriage, it will make his mentor's daughter unhappy, and thus affect his mentor's mood, that is, Uncle Qin."

Qin Li shook her head slightly. In her opinion, this was not the case.

Based on her understanding of Mr. Yu's second aunt, I believe that the man was a little different from Wanshi and the others in thinking about problems. For nothing else, I just listen to what others said. Even if I can't be my wife, I will still be my concubine for Mr. Yuan.

Can ordinary women say such words?

I can't!

But Fu Yu's second aunt not only said it, but also made it known to everyone in the city, regardless of how others would comment on her after listening to it.

It is not difficult to imagine how ridiculous and shameless Fu Yu's second aunt was.

Qin Li thought to himself that Fu Yu's second aunt had lived in the Fu Mansion for many years, and she must have known that Fu Yu's father and Prefect Chu had done so many things that harmed others for money.

And no matter whether they say or not, in Jiayu Mansion, others will always know about the things they do.

When the person above sent someone to investigate some things related to Prefect Chu, Fu Yu's father would inevitably be in trouble. By then, Prefect Chu would definitely not be able to stay in Jiayu's Mansion as the prefect, and Fu Yu's younger brothers and sisters would not be able to live a good life anymore.

So Fu Yu's second aunt wanted to stay there. Before those people found out what the prefect Chu had done, they married her precious daughter.

In the eyes of Fu Yu's second aunt, only by letting her daughter, Fu Shiling, marry a child like Yuan Xi, can Fu Shiling live a happy life for the rest of her life.

First, because Yuan Xi's family is well-off, and second, because Yuan Xi, like his father, is also an upright person and has not had much contact with the people around Prince An.

Over the years, Fu Yu's second aunt must have observed carefully what kind of people the friends around Fu Yu's father were. I would not know that one of Fu's father's friends, Master Chu, was the person that Prince An trusted very much.

During these years, the prefect Chu has done many unscrupulous things. Then, if the one above is investigated, they will definitely be punished as they deserve.

Yuan Xi and his family are not the people around Prince An, who can live a stable life and will not be affected by the dispute over the school.

If Fu Shiling could marry Yuan Xi, no one would provoke her. Even if her uncle was a person like Master Chu, no one would dare to do anything to her.

To put it bluntly, it was Fu Yu's second aunt who wanted to find a protective umbrella for her daughter Fu Shiling to ensure that no one dared to hurt her.

Only with that kind of strength can Yuan Xi become a candidate who meets the standards of her future son-in-law in the eyes of Fu Yu's second aunt.

However, Yuan Xi did not agree to the marriage mentioned by the matchmaker, which made Fu Yu's second aunt feel distressed. You know, Yuan Xi came to work in Jiayu's mansion, which made Fu Yu's second aunt confused and worried about her daughter.

For Fu Yu's second aunt, she must be uncomfortable if she cannot arrange everything for her daughter.

I still remember that not long ago, when she took Bai Yunyao to Jiayu Port to select jewelry on the boat, she heard what a woman in purple said to her.

"Miss Qin, a few days ago, the wife of the second master of the Fu Mansion came to me when she usually came. In order to find out about these things, she came to us to ask about this and that under the banner of buying jewelry from our boat."

"But every time she comes over, she just looks at jewelry, but never buys anything."

"I haven't seen customers like her before, so I don't say anything."

After hearing what the woman in purple said, Qin Li wanted to kindly persuade the other party, not to think too much.

You know, the woman mentioned by the purple-clothed woman happened to be Fu Yu's second aunt. The whole family lived in Fu Yu's house, and they ate, dressed, and even went out to take a carriage. Fu Yu's father gave them silver.

Before Fu Yu's mother came out of prison and Fu Yu was about to get married, how much silver does Fu Yu's father have to buy jewelry for Fu Yu's second aunt?

I didn’t bring enough silver, even if I saw my favorite jewelry on the pleasure boat, wouldn’t I have to take a few more glances?

The woman in purple continued, "She took a fancy to an amethyst necklace and asked me the price, but she didn't say whether to buy it or not. She looked at it for a while before she told me that if she knew something new, she would tell me. When Master Tiju comes, I will tell you to Master Tiju. Then I will get a reward."

Qin Li quickly heard the implicit meaning of the words. Fu Yu's second aunt wanted to say that if she told a secret to the woman in purple, she could tell the secret to Yuan Xi.

When Yuan Xi knew that something was beneficial to him, she would give some rewards to the woman in purple and would never treat her unfairly.

Then, before the woman in purple learned the secret, she had to give Fu Yu's second aunt some benefits. Otherwise, I'm afraid she wouldn't tell the woman in purple.

"You don't have to pay attention." Qin Li said to the woman in purple.

"Of course I won't say as she wants to give her some silver. I just pretended not to understand, so that she could be more tactful and stopped mentioning it. But she was not so self-conscious. Maybe she didn't hear me answering her, so she pretended to tell me kindly, saying that she knew that Master Tingju came from the imperial city, which must be to find out some things."

Qin Li nodded slightly, saying that she was listening, and wanted the woman in purple to continue talking.

The woman in purple had a sarcasm at the corner of her lips, saying:

"She said it, and I just pretended that I didn't hear it, but I ignored it. She was anxious and told me that before the new Master Taiju took office in Jiayu Shibo, someone was doing business in private and was trying to find ways to plunder the villagers' money."

Qin Li chuckled, "What the wife of the second master of the Fu family said is not something new, but something that many villagers know. She said this to you, but there was not enough evidence to provide you with. Even if she said it, wouldn't it be useless?"

"Yes, what Miss Qin said is extremely true. She said it really means nothing." The woman in purple looked at Qin Li, and a hint of embarrassment flashed through her eyes, and said:

"Ha, let's not mention her anymore. I mentioned her, it's really a bit disappointing. Come on, Miss Qin, there are some amethyst jewelry in the wooden boxes here. Come and choose."

After hearing this, Qin Li and Bai Yunyao took two steps forward and were closer to the counter, so that they could choose jewelry.

After looking at the jewelry placed on the counter, Qin Li took a fancy to an amethyst necklace. After giving it to Bai Yunyao and trying to wear it, she felt it was pretty good and quickly paid the silver liang.

When she was in the New World, she had heard anyone say that the amethyst necklace has a very good meaning, which is the guardian stone of love. After coming to this time and space, she heard her mother say that wearing amethyst jewelry can be used to ward off evil spirits and keep peace.

It is perfect to choose an amethyst necklace and give it to Bai Yunyao.
