Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Liu Siyue was very curious about how her boss had sent him to prison. The manager seemed to know the government officials quite well, so she gave the shop assistant a few copper coins and asked him carefully. She found out that the former manager of Zhucui Pavilion was the nephew of the boss's wife's aunt's family, that is, the nephew of the boss's wife's uncle.

He had made many mistakes, and his employer had tried to dismiss him several times. However, his employer's wife pleaded for him repeatedly, and the employer had no choice but to endure it. This time, he finally hardened his heart and refused to soften his stance no matter how much his wife pleaded. He even said that if she dared to plead for him again, he would divorce her.

The owner's wife dared not plead for him any longer. The owner said that the former manager had embezzled money and colluded with outsiders to steal money from the shop. He not only wanted the manager to go to jail, but also to make him pay back the money. Otherwise, he would not let the matter rest. Zhu Cui Ge used to be on par with Jin Yu Lou, but now he had managed to close down.

Having heard what she needed to hear, Liu Siyue left the shop; she still had to go to Jinyulou to sell mirrors.

Ever since Liu Siyue left after selling the small mirrors, the manager of Jinyulou had been hoping for her reappearance every day. He looked up three times a day, but each time he missed her. Several days had passed, and he was getting a little discouraged. He went up to the third floor for tea, instructing his staff to keep a close watch and, if they spotted Liu Siyue, to detain her and immediately notify him.

Liu Siyue went into her space again and changed into a noblewoman's outfit. She's quite addicted to cosplay now. After tidying herself up, she took a large full-length mirror from the supermarket, wrapped it in a cloth, observed her surroundings, and when she found no one, she quickly came out, tucked the mirror under her arm, and headed towards Jinyulou.

When the waiter at Jinyulou saw a familiar figure walking towards her, he was overjoyed, like a fool. When Liu Siyue got closer, she thought he had gone mad.

The waiter was incredibly enthusiastic. "Madam, you've finally arrived! Our manager has been waiting anxiously for you."

"You have no idea how much our manager has suffered these past few days without your visit; he hasn't been eating or sleeping well, and his mouth is covered in blisters."

"Haha~ I know your manager is in a hurry, that's why I rushed over. I live quite far away."

"Madam, please come upstairs. Let me help you with your things."

"No need, I'm afraid if you break it, your manager will kill you. I'll keep it as insurance."

The waiter shuddered in fright and quickly withdrew his outstretched hand.

The two went upstairs, and the waiter went up ahead to announce, "Manager, manager, the madam is here, the madam is here."

The shopkeeper immediately came out of the room. "Oh my, we've finally been waiting for you, Madam!" He was overjoyed when he saw what she was carrying.

"Manager Feng, it's been a long time."

"Please come in, Madam." The shopkeeper sent the waiter downstairs and went in to pour Liu Siyue a cup of hot tea.

"Madam, you must be tired from your journey. Please have a cup of hot tea to soothe your nerves."

Thank you!

Liu Siyue picked up the teacup and took two sips before gently setting it down. "Manager Feng, let's get straight to the point. I've brought the goods. Please take a look at them first, and then we'll set a price."

"Okay, then I'll take a look at the goods first."

"Shopkeeper, be careful, this thing is very fragile."

Shopkeeper Feng carefully unfolded the cloth, revealing a mirror as tall as a person. Liu Siyue stepped forward to help prop up the mirror.

The mirror looked even more beautiful once it was set up. Manager Feng circled around it several times, exclaiming how beautiful it was.

"I wonder what material the frame is made of; it's so smooth and beautiful."

Manager Feng then sat down again. "Madam, I'll take this mirror for 10000 taels, just as we agreed last time."

"Manager Feng, I did not agree to the 10000 taels you mentioned. The price will depend on the goods. You know that mirrors are rare, and such a large one is even rarer."

"If you really want it, give me a fair price. I'm easy to talk to and don't like haggling."

"How much does Madam intend to sell it for?"

Liu Siyue held up two fingers, "20000 taels."

"Since you're so generous, I won't say much more. How about 18000 taels?"

Liu Siyue returned another 1000 taels, and the mirror was finally sold for 19000 taels of silver. The shopkeeper took out 19 silver notes of 1000 taels each and handed them to Liu Siyue. "Madam, I hope we can do business together often. If you have any good treasures to sell in the future, please give us preferential consideration."

"Manager Feng is a straightforward person. I will definitely give priority to Jin Yu Lou in the future."

Manager Feng escorted Liu Siyue down to the first floor. Liu Siyue walked towards the counter and asked, "Madam, would you like to buy jewelry?"

"Hmm, I'll buy some jewelry as gifts."

"The jewelry on the second floor is more exquisite in workmanship and the styles are the best. Madam, you can choose whatever you like. If you choose any 10 pieces of jewelry on the first floor, we will give them to you for free. The jewelry on the second floor will be priced at 80% of the original price."

"Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper. I only need some simple jewelry. She's going home tomorrow, so I'll buy one for each of my mother and the others."

The shopkeeper told her to choose whatever she wanted; it would cost no more than a hundred taels of silver, which he could afford. Compared to that mirror, it was a much better deal for him.

Liu Siyue picked out a gold hairpin for Feng Shi, with simple and elegant workmanship, which suited Feng Shi very well. She also picked out one for each of her sisters and a silver hairpin for herself.

"Okay, that's all. Please wrap it up for me."

The shop assistant packed all the jewelry into boxes, wrapped them in a bundle, and handed them to Liu Siyue, saying, "Madam, please take these."

"Madam, please take care. Please come again soon!"

The shopkeeper and his assistant watched Liu Siyue walk away. The shopkeeper nodded in satisfaction. This lady was a good businesswoman; she didn't covet cheap goods and only chose what she needed.

He then said to his employee, "You did a good job today, your pay will double this month."

"Thank you so much, shopkeeper! Thank you so much, shopkeeper!" The waiter was beaming with joy.

Liu Siyue put everything into her spatial storage. She wanted to sell as much as possible while she was still able to act on her own, because she was afraid she would have fewer opportunities to sell things in the future.

She disguised herself again, took out four glass bowls from her spatial storage, all with lids, stacked the bowls together and tied them tightly, then fastened the two lids together with rope, wrapped them in two bundles, and carried one in each hand to the pawnshop.

She first checked the area around the pawnshop to see if the person who had been following her was still there. Finding no one, she quickly sold the items.

As soon as Liu Siyue stood at the entrance of the pawnshop, the pawnshop clerk's eyes lit up. "It's you, young master! Please wait a moment, I'll go and fetch the manager right away."

The shop assistant hurried to the shopkeeper's room. "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, the young master who sold the beads last time is here again, carrying two bundles."

"Come on, let me go see. I wonder what kind of treasure they're going to make this time."

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, shopkeeper."

I have a few items here, I'm not sure if you'd like to take a look.

Liu Siyue untied her bundle, took out a bowl, and placed it on the counter. The shopkeeper picked it up and examined it carefully. The bowl was exquisitely crafted, translucent and thick, and felt quite heavy in his hand. "Young master, this is our second transaction, and we are familiar with each other. I'll offer a fair price of 500 taels."

"500 taels won't do, and anything below 1500 taels is out of the question."

"Young master, everything is negotiable, please don't be in such a hurry!"

"There's one more lid on the bowl that I can give away for free." She took out the lid and put it on the bowl, making sure it fit perfectly.

"Shopkeeper, do you think this is worth it?"

The shopkeeper smiled, "Young master, let's each compromise. 1300 taels. If that's acceptable, we'll make a deal."

The price of 1300 taels was 100 taels higher than my estimated price. "Deal."

The shopkeeper asked the clerk to issue a pawn ticket while he went to collect the silver notes.
