Murong Mingzhu refused to sleep with him, but this kind of thing... As the saying goes, there is one or two, and no matter how much she objected, it would be useless. Ye Zhilan just stayed in a noble way.

The next morning, Ye Zhilan wanted to go back to the Lingzhou Palace to meet several important officials, but Murong Mingzhu was not interested.

Ye Zhilan didn't force her. After he left, Murong Mingzhu originally planned to go out and take a walk. Putting aside the urgent matter of coming to southern Yunnan this time, she should have seen if there were any new business opportunities.

At this moment, the people from the Sheng family came to the door.

Sheng Yuehua invited Murong Mingzhu to Sheng’s house and came alone to invite Murong Mingzhu instead of Ye Zhilan together. This was Sheng Yuehua’s private invitation.

Murong Mingzhu was curious about the Sheng family and refused without reason, so she agreed very simply.

Sheng Yuehua is indeed a private invitation Murong Mingzhu. The invitation location is not the Sheng family, but a small villa in the city.

When Murong Mingzhu walked into the villa, she saw that it was unique. The villa was quiet and flowers were planted everywhere, especially a large pool was open in the courtyard. The pool was full of hibiscus flowers the size of a palm, and there was a pavilion on the pond, and Sheng Yuehua was waiting for her upstairs.

Sheng Yuehua knelt on the couch, and placed a sandalwood table in front of her. The mud stove was burned red, and a delicate teapot was set up, and two small cups were exquisite and beautiful.

After Murong Mingzhu took a look, she knelt across from her and smiled faintly, "Miss Sheng has been waiting for a long time."

Sheng Yuehua raised her eyes and raised the corners of her lips, "Soon, Miss Murong came very quickly, and my tea has not been cooked yet."

Murong Mingzhu slowly smiled and said, "Miss Sheng invites me, how dare you be negligent? What's the point of not cooking the tea well? I didn't come for the sake of drinking tea."

Sheng Yuehua lowered her eyelashes and smiled unabated, "Miss Murong is Miss Murong. She is indeed extremely smart. I really don't want to drink tea if I invite you."

"What's the point?" Murong Mingzhu asked.

"Before I answer this question, I would like to ask another question first. Miss Murong is the head of the Murong family and she doesn't leave the imperial capital easily. What is the purpose of coming to Lingzhou this time?"

Murong Mingzhu glanced at her, "I can't say why I come, but Miss Sheng must say why she invites me. So, I won't answer your question, but you must answer my question."

Sheng Yuehua didn't say anything, just looked at Murong Mingzhu.

She had seen Murong Mingzhu and heard about her deeds. She thought that Murong Mingzhu was probably a strong person, but now she saw that she was not just strong, and Murong Mingzhu wanted to take control of all the initiative.

The two women's eyes met, and neither of them retreated, and they just smiled at each other.

It was not until the teapot on the mud stove made a sound that Sheng Yuehua turned his head first.

She took a piece of cotton cloth, picked up the teapot from the stove, poured a cup of tea for Murong Mingzhu, and then filled it with her.

Putting down the teapot, Sheng Yuehua smiled and said, "Please use tea."

"Thank you." Murong Mingzhu smiled.

The two of them had a smile on their own, as if the invisible contest just now did not exist at all.

Murong Mingzhu took a sip of tea and said, "Good tea."

Sheng Yuehua smiled, "Wouldn't you be too stingy to entertain Miss Murong without good tea? This tea was brought back from Liunian from the imperial capital. It was said to be a tribute tea sent by a prince. However, Miss Murong probably drank enough tribute tea, so it was not a good thing."

Murong Mingzhu laughed softly, "Scholars, farmers, industrialists, businessmen, we businessmen are fourth-class people. No matter how noble they are, they are fourth-class people. They are not allowed to drink tribute tea at will, but today the tea is not yet time to cook..."

"Oh?" Sheng Yuehua raised her eyes and looked at her.

Murong Mingzhu looked at the remaining tea in the cup, shook her hand and poured the tea down from the upper floor.

After pouring it, he gently placed it on the teacup and looked up at Sheng Yuehua, "If the time comes, the tea will not taste like this. Miss Sheng thinks, when will it be counted?"

There is something in the words, and they have a mystery to each other, but Sheng Yuehua knows what Murong Mingzhu means.

She also put down the teacup, took out a jade pendant from her arms and placed it on the table. Her fair fingers gently pushed it in front of Murong Mingzhu, and said slowly, "This is the token I got by chance. Miss Murong has a good look. How about this jade pendant for me?"

The jade pendant is dark green all over, and the green color is almost ink, but it reveals jade in it.

Judging from the material, it is the top "green glaze" and the jade core among dark green jade. A whole piece of jade core is carved into a circular totem. Just this piece of jade is priceless.

From the moment he took out the jade pendant, Sheng Yuehua looked at Murong Mingzhu and looked at her eyes.

From beginning to end, Murong Mingzhu's eyes didn't change at all. After reading the jade pendant, she looked up and said to Sheng Yuehua, "This is an excellent piece of green glaze. The carvings have nothing to say. Patches have been in some years. If they are placed in the imperial capital Treasure Pavilion, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are still worth it."

As he said that, he pushed the jade pendant back.

She looked calmly and spoke more calmly, but she felt a huge wave in her heart!

She knew this jade.

How could I not recognize you?

This is the token of the Murong family, and the totem is the clan emblem of the Murong family.

There are five pieces of jade of this shape. Murong Yuan carved it himself after the birth of the five brothers and sisters. Murong Palace is black jade, Murong Shang is jade, Murong Zheng is white jade, and she herself has a purple jade ornament carved from purple jade.

And this piece of green glaze is something from her third brother Murong Jiao.

How could the third brother’s things be in Sheng Yuehua’s hands!

The third brother has always been cautious. His identity has not been exposed over the years, but his personal token was taken out by Sheng Yuehua. So what's going on?

The moment she saw this piece of jade, countless questions flashed through Murong Mingzhu's mind, but the more she was panicked, the more calm she was on her face, and Sheng Yuehua didn't see any flaws.

Sheng Yuehua picked up the jade pendant and said softly, "A year ago, I went out to worship my relatives. I encountered danger on the road. I was saved by someone for a lifetime. This jade pendant was left by the one who saved me."

"So that's it." Murong Mingzhu was smiling on her face, and she wanted to pull Murong Jiao out and beat him a hundred and eighty times. She saved the people and even dropped the token. The cost of saving people was too great.

Sheng Yuehua continued, "I also checked the origin after picking up this jade pendant and knew that it was a rare green glaze. According to the older generation of jade carvers, this jade pendant was hollowed out with a whole piece of green glaze. There are not many people in the world who can have such financial resources today."
