I feel very unwilling. Clearly, I was harmed by Lu Zhenzhen, and now that she has become a concubine, I can no longer take revenge on her. The general seems to have noticed my unhappiness; he comforted me and gave me two shops to manage. I am very happy; I can finally showcase my talents.
I am a Modern Person, and I understand more than an Ancient Person. I renovated the two shops and changed them into a novel style. I also developed many new products to sell in the stores. My business grew larger and larger, and the two shops expanded into four.
I am busy every day, but I live a fulfilling and happy life. The Winter Solstice Festival is approaching, and the general asked me to help him choose gifts for the Duchess. I followed the general to the Treasure Pavilion. The Shopkeeper welcomed both the general and the Duchess inside and showed them the latest jewelry.
The Duchess looked for a long time but couldn't find anything suitable. She asked me, "Wei Yang, which one do you think looks good?" I glanced at the jewelry on the tray and picked up a double-strand gold hairpin inlaid with gemstones, a single-strand gold hairpin inlaid with pearls, and a string of frosted red agate prayer beads.
I said, "Madam, your fair skin would look great with the red agate prayer beads." "The gemstones and gold hairpin match your temperament perfectly." "The pearls and gold hairpin complement your complexion well."
Upon hearing this, the Shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he smiled, saying, "Madam, your maid really knows how to choose." "These are all our latest and best items." "You will definitely look beautiful wearing them."
The Duchess was very pleased to hear this; she put on all three pieces of jewelry and asked the general, "Do they look good?" The general nodded, "Yes, they look good."
The Duchess smiled at the Shopkeeper and said, "I'll take all three of these."
"Please wrap them up for me."
"Sure thing," the Shopkeeper replied excitedly as he began to wrap the items.
I didn't expect my judgment to be so accurate. I glanced at the General, who looked at me and said with a smile, "Your eye for things is quite sharp."
I blinked and replied, "I just picked them randomly."
He chuckled, "You always surprise me."
I smiled back but remained silent.
The General had someone take the Duchess and the gifts back to his residence first.
We continued to browse.
Eventually, we ran into Lu Zhenzhen and Old Lady Lu.
After six months apart, Lu Zhenzhen had changed a lot; she was dressed lavishly, but it couldn't hide her weariness.
Upon seeing me and the General, her expression immediately darkened.
Old Lady Lu pointed at me and scolded loudly, "You shameless woman! How dare you deceive me!"
"You pretend to be innocent while trying to climb the social ladder by seducing the General."
"You have no shame!"
I looked at her and said, " Old Lady, you've got it wrong."
"First of all, I am not a shameless woman; I have my own name."
"Secondly, I am not pretending to be innocent; this is just my character."
"Furthermore, I did not seduce the General; I am with him openly and honestly."
"Lastly, if you say I have no shame, then do you know what your granddaughter has done?"
"She is shameless for having an affair with a man and getting rejected in her engagement."
"If she can't even keep one man, she is the one who is truly shameless."
Old Lady Lu's face turned pale with anger as she pointed at me, trembling all over: "You... you..."
She was so angry that she couldn't speak.
The General coldly said, "Old Lady Lu, your granddaughter did such a thing, and instead of reflecting on yourself, you blame others."
"You are truly disgusting."
Old Lady Lu looked at the General, speechless.
The General took my hand and said, "Let's go."
I nodded and followed the General.
