Chapter 52 Fraud
In front of Linglong, Su Mumu confessed her real name, and Linglong also promised to keep the fact that she was the real young master of Wanchuntang a secret.
And Bihe didn't know about all this, because she was from Prince Ding's Mansion after all. Just like Nan Muchen didn't disclose that she was Su Mumu in Prince Ding's Mansion.
The fewer people know about some things, the less unnecessary trouble and danger they will cause.
"Let's talk upstairs." Linglong's eyes wandered around the shop. At this time, there were still many customers choosing jewelry.
Su Mumu nodded and ordered to Bihe behind her: "Bihe, just wait downstairs. Sister Linglong and I will come down after we finish talking."
"Yes, miss, I know this."
Linglong took Su Mumu along the stairs at the back door of the shop and went up to the second floor. This was a typical small room with pink curtains hanging on the beams. In the middle of the room was a square low table with four corners, and soft tableware on both sides.
Mat.
To the east of the room is a corridor, from which bright sunlight shines in, accompanied by a burst of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, which is enough to make people feel relaxed and happy.
There is a chaise longue in the west corner of the room. Next to the chaise longue is a small long table. On the table is a delicate incense burner. The curls of cigarettes rise from bottom to top and gradually evaporate and dissipate. The air is filled with a faint scent.
aroma.
Linglong and Su Mumu sat down in front of the low table. Linglong thoughtfully picked up the teacup on the table and poured a cup of tea for Su Mumu. She smiled and said, "You damn girl, you didn't even know you came to see me when you had nothing to do. Take pity on me, Linglong."
You must have almost forgotten Xuandu!"
"How can it be possible? Sister Linglong, Mu'er will always be thinking about Sister Linglong in her heart!" Su Mumu smiled with a flattering look on her face.
"You are so sweet," Linglong scolded with a smile, but could not hear the slightest hint of blame. She poured herself a cup of tea, "Tell me, why did you come to see me today?"
Su Mumu dug in her sleeves for a long time before taking out the wishful hairpin and placing it on the table in front of her: "Sister Linglong, can you make an exact replica of this hairpin?"
Linglong's eyes glanced at the hairpin, and her smiling expression immediately cooled down. She frowned and asked, "Where did you get this hairpin?"
After just one glance, she knew that the origin of this hairpin must be extraordinary, as if it was... made from palace craftsmanship.
Could it be that Mu'er is actually related to the palace?
"Oh, I really can't tell you where this came from! Just tell me if you can make the same thing." Su Mumu's tone was quite urgent.
Linglong was silent for a long time, lowered her eyelids, her charming eyes dimmed, nodded lightly and said: "Yes, but it will take some time."
Su Mumu smiled and said: "Can you do it? That's great! It doesn't matter the time. As for the money, wait until I go down and let Bihe give it to you."
She knew she had found the right person this time!
But Linglong was obviously not so happy. She seemed to be hesitating, and after a long time she said: "Mu'er... you didn't cause anything, did you?"
Su Mumu was stunned. It seemed that nothing could be hidden from her.
Linglong Linglong, as her name suggests, she really has an exquisite mind. She doesn't know what kind of man can be worthy of her.
Seeing the unconcealed worry and concern in Linglong's eyes, Su Mumu felt guilty for the first time.
Sister Linglong... I'm sorry, there are some truths that I really can't tell you...
Su Mumu buried her guilt deep in her heart, put on a relaxed expression on the surface, and said: "Oh, Sister Linglong, I'm really fine. Oh, by the way, I have another picture that I want to show you."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of letter paper from her lapel, opened it, and on it was a sketch of a small tool she had drawn by herself.
"This is..." This was the first time Linglong saw such a structure and design, and she couldn't understand what she was drawing.
Su Mumu slowly took out a small rectangular box from her sleeve. She had made it in her room when she was bored. It contained some silver needles, which she had just used on Xiong Yuning's maid.
It’s this prop, but it’s not good enough.
It should be said that the strength is not enough. Fortunately, it is almost summer and girls' gauze skirts are thin. If it were a man, or if it were winter, such a thing would have no effect at all.
She originally used it for self-defense, because she had no internal strength or martial arts, so sometimes she had to resort to this thing if she wanted to protect herself.
Su Mumu thought that if Linglong could make a better one for her, the old one would no longer be needed, so she simply took it out and asked Linglong to keep it for show.
After holding the box and explaining it to Linglong for a while, she finally understood it, and became more and more interested in the small box in Su Mumu's hand. Fortunately, Su Mumu spoke carefully, and there was something ready-made that she made.
By making the mold, Linglong naturally became more confident about making this thing.
Now that everything had been arranged, Su Mumu saw that it was getting late, so it was time to say goodbye to Linglong.
The two came down from the attic, and Su Mumu took two 100-tael silver notes from Bihe and gave them to Linglong.
"One is enough. You are my good sister. How could I be willing to ask you to pay more?" Linglong returned one of the two to Su Mumu and called the waiter, "Ah Cai."
The waiter stepped forward with understanding, holding in his hand the pearl flower that Tong Hui and Xiong Yuning had previously fought for.
Linglong took the beaded flower from her hand and put it into Su Mumu's hand: "This is my sister's consideration. Thank you for driving away two troublesome nuisances from my shop today."
"No, no, I can't take it. Sister Linglong, you are using it for business, how can I take it?" Su Mumu shook her head and pushed the hairpin back.
Linglong stopped after hearing what she said. She straightened her face and pretended to be angry: "Sister gave me a gift for my sister. It's not a business deal. It's so ugly! Accept it quickly, otherwise I will be angry."
Judging from this attitude, she must accept it.
Being frustrated by Linglong, she had no choice but to listen to her words and put the pearl flowers away. The two of them said a few more personal words, and then Su Mumu reluctantly left Linglongxuan.
…
Longchen Pavilion——
As soon as he had dinner, Nan Muchen didn't know where he went.
Su Mumu was still wearing a maid's uniform and was tidying up in Longchen Pavilion.
Since returning from Linglong Pavilion that day, Bihe has been released, but Su Mumu's treatment in Prince Ding's Mansion is still that of an ordinary maid.
Therefore, Bihe naturally cannot follow her and can only stay in Qingwu Courtyard to clean the courtyard. Although there is no restriction on going out, due to Nan Muchen's regulations, maids who are not serving Longchen Pavilion are not allowed to approach Longchen Pavilion.
