There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 264 The ultimate move

Ye Bingli looked at Lord Liang with a defiant gaze. She didn't believe Lord Liang would still like her after seeing her like this.

Lord Liang seemed to have seen through Ye Bingli's thoughts, and suddenly chuckled: "Li'er, do you really think that changing your appearance and behavior will make me dislike you?"

Ye Bingli was taken aback upon hearing this, and remained motionless in her current position.

As Lord Liang approached Ye Bingli, he said, "Naive. Li'er is still young. Doesn't she realize that you can only imitate for a while, but can you maintain it forever?"

Ye Bingli lowered her lips and backed away into the corner of the fence.

Lord Liang's urgent voice rang out: "Li'er, don't be afraid. How about coming into my household as my beautiful concubine? I'll give you whatever you want and will never mistreat you."

Ye Bingli remained silent, pressed tightly against the corner railing, oblivious to the fact that the railing had sunk deep into her body.

Lord Liang got closer and closer.

Ye Bingli was extremely nervous, her right hand hidden behind her back, tightly clutching the itching powder packet given to her by Li Shuchen.

"dong dong dong"

A hurried footstep sounded.

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, then looked towards the stairwell.

A beautiful woman in blue strode over, glanced quickly at Ye Bingli, then nestled against Lord Liang's chest, saying coquettishly, "Master, what are you doing here? Bi'er has been looking for you everywhere. Master, please come back to the manor with Bi'er."

Upon hearing this, Lord Liang happily embraced the beauty in his arms, saying, "Why is Bi'er different today? She's so warm and welcoming to me."

The aloof and beautiful woman slowly circled her hand on Lord Liang's chest, then looked up at him with watery eyes, her voice alluring and seductive: "Of course Bi'er misses you, Master. Don't you miss Bi'er, Master?"

Lord Liang chuckled, grasping the aloof beauty's mischievous hand: "I do want to, but I have matters to attend to tonight. I'll treat you properly tomorrow."

The aloof and beautiful woman glanced at Ye Bingli upon hearing this, pouting in dissatisfaction, and said, "How can a greenhorn like her serve the master well? Let Bi'er do it; Bi'er knows how to please the master."

Upon hearing this, Ye Bingli quickly blew her nose loudly with her hand. After blowing her nose, she wiped it on the heel of her shoe, but as if she hadn't wiped it clean enough, she casually wiped it on her clothes, then used her sleeve to wipe her nose, and then chuckled.

This is the ultimate move Li Shuchen taught her; hopefully it will be useful to Lord Liang.

After reading it, Lord Liang wrinkled his nose, then turned to look at the aloof beauty in his arms, whose every move was incredibly alluring.

After comparing the two options, Lord Liang quickly made his decision.

"Li'er, I'll let you off the hook for today. We'll reschedule for another day. Bi'er, let's go back to the manor."

"OK"

Ye Bingli watched the two leave, still feeling uneasy, and went downstairs to the private room on the second floor.

Li Shuchen went up to him: "How is it? Has Lord Liang left?"

Ye Bingli nodded: "A woman named Bi'er came and took Lord Liang away."

Princess Changning: "Bi'er? Could it be Aunt Bi who gave Aunt Liang the golden mirror?"

Liang Yuying gave a definitive answer: "It's her."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen felt a pang of unease. He could tell that Aunt Bi didn't like Lord Liang, and that her visit tonight was likely to save Bing Li.

Liang Yuying: "Since Bingli is alright, let's go back to the manor."

"Good"*4

When the group arrived at the entrance of the General's Mansion, they saw Madam Liang standing there as if waiting for something.

Liang Yuying stepped forward to help Madam Liang up: "It's getting late, Mother, why don't you go and rest?"

Madam Liang looked at Ye Bingli: "I was worried about Li'er, but thankfully she's back safely."

Ye Bingli stepped forward and grasped Madam Liang's hand: "Li'er is alright. Fortunately, Aunt Bi appeared and saved me."

Upon hearing this, Madam Liang exclaimed in surprise, "It's her? She's the person in the entire Liang household who dislikes Master the most!"

As Ye Bingli helped Madam Liang walk into the mansion, she asked, "Why did Aunt Bi have to appear to save me?"

Madam Liang looked at Ye Bingli and said slowly, "Perhaps it's to save her younger self."

……

For several days in a row, the General's Mansion did not receive any invitations from the Liang family. Gradually, everyone felt relieved and went home.

Li Shuchen had barely stepped into the Happiness Inn when she heard Manager Xu say, "Miss, Young Master Cheng requests your presence at the Jade Elegance Porcelain Shop."

"understood"

Li Shuchen put down his bag and went to Yuya Porcelain Workshop.

Cheng Zhian frowned slightly: "You've finally arrived. Come with me to see what's going on."

Li Shuchen: "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

As Cheng Zhian walked, he said, "I don't know what went wrong with the clay, but all the vases that were fired have cracked."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen felt as if the sky had fallen: "Quickly, take me to see this!"

The two quickened their pace and arrived at the warehouse.

Cheng Zhian opened a basket of porcelain to show her.

Li Shuchen picked it up and examined it closely, then breathed a sigh of relief and said casually, "Isn't this crackle glaze? It's even a plum blossom pattern, quite beautiful."

Cheng Zhian shook his head and said, "This dynasty didn't produce any crackled porcelain, so I'm afraid people wouldn't buy it."

Li Shuchen opened another basket and asked, "How many crackle porcelain pieces are there?"

Cheng Zhian: "About a hundred or so"

Li Shuchen: "Keep them for now, I'll try selling them on the day of the banquet."

Cheng Zhian: "Okay, but the kiln can't produce any more of this crackled porcelain, otherwise we won't be able to make the number of vases you requested."

Li Shuchen: "I don't know anything about porcelain either. What do you suggest we do?"

Cheng Zhian: "We need to change the main clay, or adjust the clay mix. However, if we change the main clay, we won't be able to produce such a delicate and smooth vase."

Li Shuchen: "Then let's change the proportions. This is a huge project, with tight deadlines and heavy workloads. I'll work with you to figure it out."

Cheng Zhian: Okay

The two of them went into the cave dwelling and worked together on hundreds of recipes. By the time they finished, it was already dark.

Li Shuchen wiped the sweat from his brow: "Let's call it a day. I'll head back to the inn first. Let me know when this batch of goods is ready."

Cheng Zhian: "Okay, drive carefully."

Li Shuchen dragged his extremely exhausted body, panting with every step, back to the inn.

Before I even entered the door, I heard someone say, "Why are you back so late?"

The tone was both heartache and anger.

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen looked up and saw Liang Yuying standing in the living room, her entire body tense, indicating her displeasure.

"I was studying the vases with Young Master Cheng, and we got so engrossed that we forgot the time. I came back quite late, Yu Ying, please don't be angry."

Li Shuchen walked over and pulled Liang Yuying to sit down.

Liang Yuying's expression softened somewhat: "Your body hasn't fully recovered, you shouldn't overexert yourself. I don't want to see a lifeless Shuchen."

Li Shuchen raised his hand and swore, "I know, I promise I won't do it again next time. I'll get more rest. But it's so late, why did Yuying come over?"

Liang Yuying took out a hairpin from her bosom and said, "You left your hairpin in the Magnolia Courtyard, I've brought it to you."

Li Shuchen took the hairpin: "This is such a small matter, you can just send someone to deliver it to me. There's no need for Yuying to make the trip herself, it's too much trouble."

Liang Yuying said calmly, "It's alright, I just happened to have nothing to do, so I came to take a look."

Li Shuchen nodded: "Oh, Yuying, remember to take the measurements of all eighty Mulan Army girls when you get back."
