This woman allowed herself to be loved to the point of being despicable, humbly protecting her safety, redeeming her life, and even breaking up with her family in order to marry her. However, she was unwilling to marry him because she could not give her the status of young lady. He had sacrificed so much for her, but she couldn't bear the slightest injustice for herself.
Looking at the Jingjing in front of him, Li Fulai felt faintly heartbroken.
"I've been waiting for you here all night, where have you been?" Jingjing asked Li Fulai.
"What does it have to do with you where I go?" Li Fulai was angry with Jingjing and didn't want to pay attention to Jingjing.
"It's none of my business. I'm just here to pay you back. I'll leave after you pay me back." With that said, Jingjing carried the box and gave it to Li Fulai.
Li Fulai threw the box to the ground and asked Jingjing loudly, why do you want to be so clear-cut with me?
"Because we are from different worlds."
Jingjing picked up the box on the ground, put it into Li Fulai's hand again, and said: "This is the money you paid to redeem me. From now on, we will not owe each other." After saying that, Jingjing left ruthlessly, ignoring Li Fulai. Fulai kept asking: "Why?"
When Jingjing passed by Sima Ao, she glanced at Sima Ao.
Watching Jingjing walk away, Li Fulai threw the box to the ground again.
This time Li Fulai threw it harder, and a lot of the items in the box fell out.
Unexpectedly, the box contained white money?
Jiang Bin felt distressed and ran to pick up the silver that Li Fulai had thrown away twice.
"It's such a waste of money, how can you treat me so cruelly?" Jiang Bin thought that now he is so poor, Li Fulai, don't give it to me.
Sima Ao picked up a piece of silver and took a look.
Isn't this the money I gave Li Fulai?
The name of our 'Zuo Dufu' is also engraved under the silver.
……………………
Today is a day off, and Sima Ao and Jiang Min went back to their old home to visit their parents.
Before going back to visit her parents, Jiang Min planned to go to the street to buy some silk.
The main varieties of silk are: Ling, Luo, Chou and Duan.

The carriage stopped at a cloth shop, and Sima Ao got off first.
With Sima Ao's help, Jiang Min also got off the carriage.
Sima Ao was riding in a luxurious and eye-catching red-covered double-column carriage, so it attracted a lot of people passing by to watch.
"Master Zuodu and his wife are so talented and beautiful, they are truly a match made in heaven!"
The people watching learned that Sima Ao was the imperial envoy of Kyoto, and the people applauded and cheered enthusiastically.
Sima Ao and Jiang Min also showed their affection among the people, and their eyes were full of affection for each other, making the women onlookers envious and jealous of Mrs. Zuodu.
Sima Ao waved to thank the people for their enthusiasm and took Jiang Min's hand into a house called "Qing Yise Cloth Village".
……………………
"Welcome, sir, please come into the store and choose!"
When Mrs. Buzhuang came over to receive Sima Ao, she was shocked!
Sima Ao was also shocked. "Miss Jingjing, why are you here?"
Jingjing quickly came to her senses and explained: "I am the shopkeeper here."
"Ah? It turns out that you opened this 'Qing Yise Cloth Shop', no wonder it feels like a brand new place."
Sima Ao was at a loss, Jingjing was just a fireworks woman, how could she have the money to open a cloth shop? Even the money for her ransom was paid by me first.
Although he was curious to know where Jingjing got the money to open the cloth shop, Sima Ao was too embarrassed to ask.
Jingjing smiled slightly and called Sima Ao and Jiang Min into the store to choose.
Jiang Min saw Jingjing for the first time and couldn't help but look her up and down.
Dressed in black clothes, with a pair of affectionate red and phoenix eyes, goose face, peach cheeks, red lips, white teeth, beautiful skin, indifferent expression, and an orchid-like aura about her body.
Jiang Min couldn't help but marvel. Although Jingjing was born in a brothel, she had a fresh and refined temperament, and the faint fragrance of orchids on her body.
Jingjing saw Jiang Min looking at her in rapt attention, so she asked: "Madam, what type of silk do you want? Is it silk, satin, or Luo or Ling?"
Jiang Min replied sheepishly: "Oh, let me take a look first." As he said this, Jiang Min picked a bundle and felt the texture of the cloth.
Jingjing was too embarrassed to ask again, so she followed along and let Jiang Min choose freely.
Jiang Min looked at the dazzling array of cloths and asked in surprise: "Miss Jingjing is really capable. One woman can open such a large cloth shop. And they are all high-quality cloths. Just looking at the inventory, you can tell that a lot of money has been spent?"
What Jiang Min asked was also what Sima Ao wanted to ask.
Jingjing could hear the meaning behind Jiang Min's words.
Jingjing smiled and spoke openly about her background.
Jingjing was born in a poor family in order not to starve to death. Jingjing's parents bought a brothel when Jingjing was six years old.
Jingjing had to go out to receive guests at the age of fifteen, and won the title of Oiran in Kyoto at the age of seventeen.
How many wealthy officials and wealthy people have invested heavily in order to win a romantic relationship with the courtesans in Kyoto.
With her unparalleled talents and her fresh and refined face, Jingjing has won the title of Kyoto Oiran for ten consecutive years. After ten years as a courtesan in Kyoto, Jingjing naturally accumulated a lot of wealth.
Jiang Min and Sima Ao listened to Jingjing's self-narration, and couldn't help but feel pity for Jingjing!
…………
"The weaving is fine, the patterns are exquisite, and the brocade patterns are gorgeous. Is this Yun brocade?" Jiang Min asked.
"Yes, ma'am." Jingjing replied.
Sima Ao was not good at selecting silk, so he stood aside and watched Jiang Min. Seeing that Jiang Min liked it very much, she asked, "Do you want to buy this kind of thing?"
Sima Ao thought Jiang Min wanted to buy it, and was about to pick it up and pack it, but Jiang Min shook his head and said, "This silk fabric is very good, but the color is too bright, and I'm afraid my mother won't like it."
"Then do you like it? If you like it, you can buy it." Sima Ao asked again.
"It's better to let the elders choose first." Jiang Min replied.
Jiang Min picked out several more styles of silk, but still found none that she was satisfied with.
Jingjing saw that Jiang Min had been picking for so long and still hadn't found what she wanted, so she asked Jiang Min, "Are you going to buy it for the old lady to make clothes?"
Jiang Min nodded.
"How old is the old lady? What styles and colors do she usually like to wear?" Jingjing asked again.
"My mother-in-law is in her sixties. She usually likes to wear clothes with flower and bird patterns and dark colors." Jiang Min replied.
When Jingjing asked how old the old lady was, Sima Ao replied before Jiang Min could: "Sixty."
Jiang Min and Jingjing couldn't help but glance at Sima Ao in surprise.
Knowing that he had lost his composure, Sima Ao was embarrassed and stopped talking.
After listening to Jiang Min's statement, Jingjing knew that the style was suitable for Mrs. Xiang.
