The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 131 Negotiating a Deal

Li Mulan had no interest in checking accounts or anything like that; she just wanted to know that she could earn money and get money.

"Which family is the girl in green clothes who is leading the charge today?"

This question was obviously directed at Chen Bei, so Chen Bei quickly responded, "That's Zhang Youruo, the daughter of the Minister of Rites."

"The Minister of Rites' Mansion?" Li Mulan glanced and whispered, "This is really a narrow road for enemies to cross."

The little grasshopper's eyes lit up, "Master has a grudge against this Minister of Rites' Mansion?"

Li Mulan glanced at him and said, "I guess so." Her grandmother, whom she had yet to meet, had died in a very strange way, and so had her uncle...

Upon hearing this, Chen Bei talked more about the Minister of Rites' Mansion. "Over the years, the Minister of Rites' Mansion has relied on the Prime Minister as a big tree. Whether in the court or other aspects, it is very powerful. This Miss Zhang, her father is an important official in the court, and her mother also has an imperial decree. She is used to being arrogant on weekdays."

"Does her mother still have an imperial decree?"

Although it was Shangshu Zhang who personally proposed to sever the relationship, they would always meet in this small capital in the future. Especially the female relatives, would my Baozi mother have to greet them in the future? That was not okay, how could she bear that? Li Mulan thought carefully about how to get an imperial edict for her mother. Grandfather and his family had just returned to Beijing, and all this had not started yet. It was definitely impossible to earn it back in a short time...

"That Miss Zhang usually follows the lead of Miss Xu Pinting of the Prime Minister's Mansion and is always humble. Miss Xu is not here today, so she is naturally arrogant in front of the ladies who are not as high-ranking as her."

Seeing that Li Mulan was silent, the little grasshopper knew that she must be thinking something. "Next time someone from the Zhang Mansion comes, I will double the price of all the clothes I sell to her. She dared to be disrespectful to the master. Humph, let's make more money from her."

"Puchi," Li Milan chuckled, "Then can't we be more ambitious and not earn her money?"

"That won't do. We don't have to go against money."

"Humph, you are so smart."

"Okay, Chen Bei, go make some arrangements. Pack some clothes for my sisters to wear and send them directly back to the Li residence."

Li Fu immediately came out to stop them, "Sister Lan, we already have a lot of clothes, we don't need them anymore."

"How can you say that you don't have enough clothes? Sister Fu, we are in Kyoto. When the imperial edict comes down, the Li family will definitely attend many banquets in the future. Are you sure that you have enough clothes?"

"Then my family will arrange it when I need it in the future. How can I take yours every time?"

"Yes, Sister Lan." Li Rong also came out to help out at the right time.

"Oh, let's not argue over such a small matter. You heard it, this shop is mine. What's wrong with me giving you a few clothes? Do you have to reject my kindness? I will be sad."

Upon hearing this, Li Fu and Li Rong didn't know how to refuse.

Li Mulan continued, "We are sisters, we can't always get entangled in such trivial matters. Sister Fu and Sister Rong, if you feel sorry for it, I see that your handkerchiefs are embroidered very well. When you have free time, please embroider two for me."

The two looked at each other and smiled when they heard it. "I'm good at this. I'll embroider it for you when the time comes."

Li Rong also responded, "I am good at embroidering flowers and grass. Tell me what Sister Lan likes, and I will embroider a few more different ones for you."

"Then I definitely won't refuse. They are all my sisters' love for me."

The two shook their heads helplessly, "Okay, okay, we'll listen to our sister."

Li Lian blinked her big eyes and watched them talk while eating pastries. She didn't know how much she understood, but she was very happy to have something to eat.

Li Mulan had something on her mind, so she met with Mr. Fang, the owner of the clothing shop, and then went back after shopping for a short while.

Qingyu looked at Li Mulan who was in a daze and placed a plate of cut fruits in front of her. "What's wrong? You seemed a little worried along the way."

Li Mulan sighed, "I'm thinking about my mother."

"Aunt? What's wrong with Aunt? I just saw Uncle Zhang, and he said that Aunt has adapted well."

"It's not that. When I met the girl from Zhang's mansion today, I thought, her mother is a royal concubine. Although I can't use myself as an elder to annoy my mother in the future, I will still be superior to her in status. Just look at that girl Zhang and you will know. What good can an old woman be? Besides, my grandmother... Oh, I don't know how to tell my mother. Anyway, my grandfather has handed this matter to me."

"This is really difficult. With my aunt's personality, she would definitely not be able to accept it if she knew that the relative she longed to see was no longer around. But don't you still have an uncle? If he were around, your mother would feel better."

"I heard from my grandfather that my uncle joined the army and served under the Regent, but his position is not high now."

"Then I'll ask Uncle Zhang to find out where he is now."

Li Mulan nodded, "Okay, if we find it, I'll have to ask my uncle to come forward and talk about this matter. My mother should feel a little better."

Qingyu patted Li Mulan's shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. Things will work out when the time comes. Besides, I think your aunt is in much better condition these days. She won't be so frivolous."

"It's mainly about her mental state. I'm afraid she'll be stimulated again."

"Let's keep it a secret first, and then we'll take it one step at a time."

"It can only be this way."

After Qingyu left, Li Mulan was still thinking about how to mention her mother's identity so that she could stand up straight in front of those people in Zhang's house.

Wasn't Uncle Chu interested in her suturing skills before? He was planning to promote it so that more people could benefit from it, so it wouldn't be too much for her to take this opportunity to make some requests? If it doesn't work...

Li Mulan began to search through boxes and cabinets. She had made a crossbow before, which was many times more powerful than the one used by the army now. Most importantly, it was more economical in terms of materials. The regent held military power, so he should be very interested in this thing. After searching for a long time, she finally found it at the bottom of the box.

She raised the corners of her lips. Before the imperial edict arrived, she had to meet the regent to discuss business.

There was a family dinner in the evening. All the branches of the Li family were very happy and drank a lot of wine. It was already late when the party ended.

Li Mulan changed into a light black dress, tied up her hair, and prepared to break into the Regent's Palace at night. Hehehe, she can see the beauty again.

Qingyu frowned and said, "Let me go with you. I'm worried about you like this."

"No need, sister. I'm not going to assassinate someone. I'm going to negotiate a deal. It will only benefit the regent. He will be so happy that he will definitely treat me as a guest of honor."

Qingyu was still worried, "The regent is not a simple person, and his personality is eccentric and unpredictable. I'm afraid you will suffer."

"No, he still needs my grandfather. Even if he doesn't like my things, he won't do anything to me."
