HER LADYSHIP'S SCHEME

The shop attendant thought that the fifth lady would either start a fight with them or run out crying in anger.
What they didn't expect was that the fifth lady came to choose the clothes without any reaction.
"Waiter, bring over the piece of light pink cloth embroidered with white butterflies."
The shop attendant jolted awake from her initial surprise and immediately nodded: "Okay, okay, miss, wait a moment."
Everyone looked at the piece of cloth that the waiter held up, and at the same time shaking their head and thought: "You are really from the countryside, your taste is really bad."
Ding Shuang walked over and said disdainfully: "You are really a country bumpkin, you can actually wear something like this and not afraid being laughed to death by others."
Yao Banxia ignored her at all. In her previous life, she couldn't get married because of her temperament.
Her father had no choice but to marry her off to Jingmo, the eldest son of the Marquis Yao, who also couldn't find a wife. Yao Jingmo, because of his notorious reputation, also had no other choices but to live with Ding Shuang, who gave him a place to stay.
Yao Banxia ignored everyone's scornful looks and chose several matching dark-colored fabrics.
After all, it is Tianhe Boutique, the most famous clothing store in the whole capital. Even the most common clothes here are of good quality, though a bit expensive.
After going out, Shaoyao was heartbroken. Just a little piece of cloth and fifty taels of silver were gone.
"Hey, young miss, you are going in the wrong direction. We should go this way to go home." Shaoyao pointed in the opposite direction.
Yao Banxia paused. She knew that if they go this way, she would pass by the big Banyan tree on the second road outside the palace wall.
Gazing at the sky, Banxia knew that at this time, he must be practicing martial arts under the big banyan tree. She must not meet him.
"Just go this way." Banxia decided and continued to walk.
Shaoyao was very puzzled. Why did the young lady insist on taking another further road instead of the nearest one?
"..."
"Master, Miss Banxia is taking a detour."
Su Feng looked at the prince who was sitting under the big banyan tree with his eyes closed, feeling a little distressed.
Yue Beiyi opened his eyes, his dark eyes were bottomless, as if one could be sucked into the whirlpool of these eyes if one looked at them for a second longer.
Yue Beiyi, the only child of the former Crown Prince and Queen of Dayue Kingdom, is loved by thousands of people.
He was in charge of all the military affairs of the Dayue Kingdom, including the army. He was also the God of War that the enemies were afraid of and dare not touch.
As long as he, the War God, exists in Dayue Kingdom, the enemy will not dare to attack and invade.
It's just that the temperament of this War God suddenly changed when he was sixteen years old, becoming cold and bloodthirsty, and even more ruthless.
Everyone wanted to see what the War God looked like, but few people could meet this prince, who often lived in seclusion. It was said that it was difficult even for the emperor and queen to meet him.
Therefore, this Prince Beiyi has become a sacred and untouchable legend in everyone's hearts.
In the hearts of those young ladies from noble families, he has become a male god, the objects of their fantasies.
He became a role model for those with lofty ambitions and became the saint of Dayue Kingdom.
He was a talented young master, who is unrivaled in the world, and was eight feet tall. His body was even stronger due to his years of martial arts practice. His waist is narrow, his shoulders are wide, and his body proportions are particularly good.
Every move he made was filled with an air of nobility that made people want to look up to him.
The proportions of his facial features are just right, and his thin lips are lightly pursed, revealing an indescribable sexiness.
He is worthy of being the most handsome man in Dayue Kingdom, and his appearance makes people feel inferior.
"Master, let's go back!" Seeing Prince Yi open his eyes, Su Feng said quickly.
"Wait for a bit more."
Crown Prince Yi closed his eyes again, with an iceberg-like expression on his face.
Su Feng was angry, angry that Banxia didn't know what was good for her.
Their master has waited here day after day, year after year for her return.
She has been back for three days but has not come here even once. Moreover, she actually took a detour when she finally went out.

"Miss, it's so lively there."
At the corner of a house, a group of people gathered around a woman, and everyone was talking about something.
Yao Banxia frowned: "Go over and have a look."
She then walked over with Shaoyao, and they saw a woman and a boy about five years old knelt down to beg.
Everyone commented: "Look at how well-dressed she is. She is better than us and yet she has the nerve to beg for food."
"No, this woman and her child are so clean that she doesn't look like a beggar."
Ban Xia frowned slightly. Although the woman was begging for food, she stood up straight and didn't look like she was begging at all.
So she said, "Sister-in-law, are you in trouble?"
The woman looked at the ordinary-looking Banxia and said, "I came to the capital to find my husband, but I couldn't find him, and all the silver I brought with me was used up."
"Since you're here to find him, don't you have an address?" This was what Banxia most confused about.
At this point, the woman shed tears: "He, he passed away."
Yao Banxia was stunned: "He's dead? Then, since your husband has passed away, why didn't you go back?"
"I don't believe it. I haven't seen his body. Even if you beat me to death, I don’t believe it.”
This woman’s stubbornness reminded Banxia of herself, and she sighed: “I still have forty taels here, take it.”
Shaoyao was instantly shocked: “Miss, we can’t do this. That’s a lot sum.”
People around her also tried to persuade her, “Miss, forty taels is quite a lot, it would be a pity to be cheated like this.”
Shaoyao also nodded: “That’s right, Miss, please don’t be fooled. Nowadays, many people often lied."
Faced with everyone's doubts, the woman didn't say a word, but the little boy was angry.
At such a young age, he stood in front of his mother with his fists clenched, and shouted at everyone: "My mother is not a liar, not a liar!"
Yao Banxia looked at the little boy, and a flash of heartache flashed in his heart.
In her previous life, she had given birth to a child, but the child died with her while she was still in her belly.
The child was once her hopes, her happiness, and the love between her and Brother Yi.
Oh! She was such a fool, everything was full of deception, sin, ugliness, and he was the source of her hatred.
"I believe your mother is not a liar. Be good and everything will be fine." Yao Banxia held the little boy's hand and coaxed him gently.
When the woman saw Banxia like this, her straight waist finally bent down.
"Miss, we don't want the money. We just want to ask the lady to take us in, this pair of mother and son."
Banxia was slightly stunned, but before she could speak, the woman took out a servant deed from her arms.
"Miss, this is the contract of me and Le'er. Please take us in."
Ban Xia was puzzled: "You can take the child and leave after you get this money."
"No, miss, I must stay and find my husband. I want to find the father of the child. Even if he dies in the capital in order to take the exam, I want to find his body!"
Yao Banxia understood at this moment that she was willing to sell herself and her son to her in order to find a safe place and wait for her husband to return.
Yao Banxia had no choice but to agree first, and plan to return the contract to her when she had the opportunity.
"In this case, I will accept the contract. It's just that my family is a little complicated. One have to be careful about the rules and formalities."
After listening to what Banxia said, the woman understood that the young lady should belong to a big family, and there were a lot of intrigues in the family. She felt moved that Banxia was willing to explain.
Yao Banxia took the woman and child back to the Marquis Mansion. When she put away the deed, she looked at the mother and son's name inadvertently.
