Episode 26

That night, the bright moon was bright, and Peony prepared a midnight snack to congratulate Jiang Changyang on their tacit understanding.However, before the meat was in his mouth, there was a sudden knock on the door.When I opened the door, I saw it was my cousin Li Yun.He only recently learned about what happened to Mudan, so he hurried over to take Mudan as his concubine to keep her safe.Before he finished speaking, Liu Chang broke in with Zhuandui again, claiming that he had found a mansion and vowed not to let anyone harm Mudan at all, let alone her being a slave.

Jiang Changyang, who was on the sidelines, instead of trying to dissuade her, added fuel to the fire, claiming that Mudan's body deed was in his hands, and that if Liu Chang and Li Xing wanted to fight for it, they would have to bid.When Mudan heard this, she rolled her eyes and angrily scolded Jiang Changyang not to cause trouble.Zhu Fu and Chuan Yu were also watching the excitement, each protecting their master and sisters.

Mudan saw that her good words and persuasion were useless, so she simply picked up a stick, drove the three people out in confusion, and closed the door quickly.She knew in her heart that the men around her, including Jiang Changyang, were all extraordinary people.Coinciding with the sale of Fang Yuan, Mu Dan decided to go to the bank to get a mortgage.Unexpectedly, when she arrived the next day with two boxes of gold collars, Lu Xingtou told her that Fang Yuan had been purchased by the flower shop.Mudan had no choice but to take the gold collar to Dongshi to find another shop.

Soon, Huamanzhu opened in Dongshi City, and the beauty cream developed by Xiaochun was selling extremely well. Mudan was secretly glad that she had made the right bet.However, she also felt disappointed. If the victory was still there, she should be in charge of this shop.Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever.

When Shengyi learned that Huamanzhu was opening, she specially embroidered a silk scarf and handkerchief to express her congratulations.However, when Wang Qing came back drunk and saw that Shengyi was a prostitute, he felt displeased and actually tore up the embroidered handkerchief.Shengyi's pent-up resentment suddenly broke out, and he stabbed Wang Qing to death with scissors.Hatred and anger drove her to stab Wang Qing again and again until Wang Qing died.

When Peony received the things and letters delivered by Shengyi's entrustment, she knew something was wrong.Shengyi surrendered after the murder and committed suicide in court.When Mudan and Zhu Fu arrived, they were heartbroken after seeing the last part of Shengyi.They built a tomb for Victory and planted some incense trees, hoping that when the flowers bloom next year, the peonies would visit her again.

The story of Shengyi's husband-killing was widely spread among the people, and she was dubbed as a poisonous woman.Mudan was so angry that she bought and burned all the legends that distorted the facts, and wrote the story about Shengyi with her own hands.It is unfair that men are superior to women in this world. Mudan fights against this unfair world alone with her lonesome courage.

The business of Huamanzhu in Dongshi was affected by Shengyi's incident, and orders from noble people dropped sharply.When Mudan was about to ask about the reason for breaking the contract, Jiang Changyang came with Tang Silang to clear up her doubts.It turned out that the county magistrate deliberately warned the ladies not to buy or order flowers from Huamanzhu because Liu Chang came to look for peonies after being drunk that day.Peony was not angry, however. She knew that Pingkangfang and the city's dancers still needed flower decorations. Although the county boss could control the nobles from buying her flowers, he could not control the demand for many dancers.

Huamanzhu has taken over the flower supply business of Huanyunlou, and with the addition of orders from Pingkangfang and other dance textiles, the shop no longer has to worry about closing.But the income is still 20% less than before.Peony found new business opportunities from Huanyunlou and planned to launch cheap and useful algae beans and affordable toiletries.She personally tried it out for this purpose, but Jiang Changyang misunderstood that she had the man she liked. She became jealous and hurriedly came to seek confirmation.
