Chapter 956: The Rare Curio Sold by Shu Yu
Young Master Jiang understood. He also turned his head to glance at the bamboo forest twice before lowering his voice to whisper, "You don’t know, last year something rare appeared in the black market in Jiangyuan County."
Something rare? How rare?
Young Master Jiang said, "It’s a mirror so smooth it can reflect even a single strand of hair with clarity. I heard that mirror was sent to the capital and eventually bought by the Third Prince’s consort. The consort held a banquet, and many noble madams and ladies were extremely envious, asking around where they could get such a mirror."
Shu Yu thought, "..." So this rare item is actually something I sold myself?
She looked away into the distance, feeling slightly uneasy.
Young Master Jiang continued, "The mirror came from the black market in Jiangyuan County. Based on what the steward here says, someone specifically brought it to sell. The steward claimed the seller would continue delivering good items to the black market in the future. Because of this, several households came over to inquire. A few months ago, it got chaotic here, and they had no choice but to increase security."
Shu Yu responded with a surprised "Ha?"—when did she ever say she’d bring more rare goods to the black market?
Clearly, even black markets compete with each other. That steward was deliberately hyping up Jiangyuan County’s black market to make it stand out.
Poor her, carrying the blame for something she had no part in. Well, serves them right; after all this trouble, they’re stuck increasing their own guards. They deserve what’s coming to them.
