The two young ladies’ eyes lit up upon hearing this. This jewelry shop in Dadu City had a hundred years of history. Typically, families like theirs only visited the shop to buy a hairpin for a girl’s coming-of-age ceremony. The styles they chose were always simple, unless a noble family was preparing the dowry for their daughter. Today, they were just browsing, not expecting to buy anything, but their sister-in-law unexpectedly offered to let them pick out anything they wanted, and she would pay for it. Such generosity!
"Thank you, sister-in-law! You truly are the best sister-in-law in the world!"
"Thank you, cousin!"
With smiles, the two young ladies thanked Hongqiao and, arm in arm, lifted the hems of their dresses and ran into the jewelry shop.
Hongqiao stood in place, gently fanning herself with a hand fan, directing her gaze towards the direction where the Bai family’s carriage and guards vanished. The smile on her face gradually disappeared.
King Liang died at the hands of Bai Jinxiu. This hatred... Hongqiao won’t forget. She lives on for the sake of revenging the Second Prince and King Liang.
Even though the old associates have all perished, she is still alive... She would fight with all her might. Even if she couldn’t take the lives of the Bai family members, she would ensure their unrest.
She would bind herself to the Bai family in this life.
Hongqiao shook her fan, and like a noblewoman, lifted her skirt with one hand and walked into the jewelry shop to accompany her sister-in-law and the visiting cousin to choose jewelry.
Heaven spared her this lowly life, there’s still decades ahead for her. With the Bai family... she’ll see how it goes!

On the fourth day of the eighth month, in the second year of the distant past, the King’s Consort Marquis of Loyalty and Courage, Qin Lang, along with Chen Zhaolu and Lu Yuanqing, completed the implementation of new laws in the old lands of Daliang and arrived in Dadu City.
In the early court, Qin Lang, Chen Zhaolu, and Lu Yuanqing received rewards.
Bai Jinxiu and Qin Lang hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Qin Lang had been in Hancheng... Every time he heard reports of war from Xiliang, he felt anxious for Bai Jinxiu. Now seeing his wife, who has become a lord, standing regally in military dress in the royal court, Qin Lang felt proud.
In his heart, he kept reminding himself that having such a wife... one who can manage the household and also fight in wars, he should truly cherish her.
After the morning court, Qin Lang was asked to stay by Bai Qingyan to discuss the situation in Hancheng.
Qin Lang didn’t dare to be negligent and faithfully reported, "Now the schools are established, though initially there weren’t many girls enrolling, but after the imperial examinations appointed women as the Second Place Scholar and the Third Place Scholar, and the Emperor also assigned official positions, more families have been sending their daughters to study. Yet... some worry about their daughters becoming officials, marrying, and having children only to fall into dire straits. Although the official schools don’t charge tuition, educating one reader demands considerable family resources, and eventually, even marrying a son-in-law could bring many uncertainties, causing hesitation! In this regard... I believe if laws were established, it should properly resolve the issue."
