After Chunying's inquiries, she finally found out a few places in Baicheng where the young ladies from wealthy families liked to hang out. When Avery Mo heard that they were places that made clothes, sold jewelry, rouge and spices, he became even more excited and couldn't wait to start the action tomorrow.
Sophia Gu saw through her at a glance and said, "I see you don't want to help, you want to go out and play!"
Avery Mo smiled and hugged Sophia Gu and said coquettishly, "Aiya~ The main task is of course to find our future sister-in-law, but we can't treat ourselves badly, right? You see, after I came here, I was either knocked unconscious and sold to bad people, or I was caught and locked up in the woodshed of this palace. Can you create some happy time for me~ my dear princess?"
Avery Mo looked so sad when he said that, so Sophia Gu quickly said, "I know, I know. I'll take you and some money to the city to have some fun tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay, okay, can we eat lunch outside tomorrow?"
"No, you still have to take medicine at noon. You have to come back and take it."
"All right, all right, I'll do as you say, my little rich lady."
The next day, Avery Mo woke up early in the morning and urged Sophia Gu to get up, put on makeup, eat, and then go out.
Elias Gu looked at Avery Mo and Sophia Gu running out in a hurry and asked Nolan Fang beside him, "Where are they going? Why do they look so happy?"
"Oh, I heard that Princess Sophia Gu asked Chunying to collect a list of good-looking and well-behaved unmarried women in Baicheng yesterday. I think she wants to find a princess for you."
Elias Gu, who was drinking soup, was choked by surprise. Before, Gu Shian had said that he would arrange a marriage for him, but he knew that this marriage was actually proposed by the Queen, and marrying a wife was just an excuse to place spies around him, so he swore that he would never get married before Sophia Gu woke up. Although Gu Shian was unhappy, he could not blame him because of the deep affection between the brother and sister, so the matter was dropped. Elias Gu also focused on the rectification of the officials in the fiefdom and finding a way to wake up Sophia Gu.
"Why did this girl suddenly think of worrying about me?"
"Maybe she feels sorry for you, Your Highness. She thinks that such a large palace is too lonely and wants to help you find a beautiful lady to liven it up. Your Highness, don't you think that it's too lonely to eat alone, so you asked Princess Sophia Gu and Miss Mo to eat with you?"
Elias Gu refused to admit that he was lonely and cold, and asked Nolan Fang in a dangerous tone, "Am I?"
Nolan Fang's desire to survive immediately came online. "No, no, the prince was afraid that Princess Sophia Gu would not be used to it after just waking up, so he accompanied her for dinner. The prince's thoughtful, considerate and loving behavior is simply an example of the best brother in the world."

After asking around, Avery Mo and Sophia Gu found Hongxiufang, the best clothing store in the city. They were stunned as soon as they entered the store. There was everything from head to toe to wear, from simple and elegant to luxurious, cute and dignified. They could also find their favorite craftsman to make it custom. It was simply a paradise for girls!
As they were walking around, they got stuck in a pile of clothes and couldn't get out. They wanted to look at this and try on that. After finally getting out, they ran to the jewelry counter to pick out some jewelry and continued their shopping spree.
"Chu Xing, do you think I look good in this?"
"This one looks good, but the waist is a bit too big for you. I need to ask the boss to fix it."
"Chu Xing, try this red dress, it will suit your skin tone."
"Lila Chen---Whispering, do you think this bracelet is suitable for me?"
"It looks good, buy it!"
"Thank you, thank you my rich wife, love you! mua~"
Chunying, who was standing by, held the silver she brought with her and carefully pulled Sophia Gu to tell her that if they continued to buy clothes like this, the money would not be enough. Unexpectedly, Sophia Gu thought that Chunying also wanted a set of clothes, so she generously picked out a piece that suited Chunying and gave it to her, asking her to try it on.
"Chunying, you are so young, you will look very cute in this pink dress, go try it on."
"But..."
Chunying was about to explain something when Sophia Gu stopped her and said, "It's nothing, just consider it as a gift for you taking care of me for so many years. Go and try it."
Unable to resist Sophia Gu's enthusiasm, Chunying had to go in and try it first. After coming out, Sophia Gu and Avery Mo both felt that it was very suitable for her and took it directly.
When Chunying changed back into her own clothes and came out, the two men had already calculated the money and were waiting for her to pay.
Chunying looked at the two people smiling happily because of their trophies, and secretly groaned in her heart, and asked the clerk in a low voice how much it cost.
After counting, the clerk politely said to Chunying, "Miss, the total is 1,256 taels of silver."
Avery Mo leaned against the counter and almost sprained his waist when he heard the price. Seeing Sophia Gu's surprised expression, the two of them quickly pulled Chunying aside to discuss. "Chunying, why are the clothes here so expensive? This is not a scam shop!"
Chunying looked aggrieved. "Hongxiufang's clothes are more expensive than those sold in general stores because of their exquisite designs and workmanship. It was Chunying's fault for not bringing enough money. Please forgive me..."
Sophia Gu covered Chunying's mouth with her hand and said, "You forgot again! Call me Miss."
The first step of Sophia Gu and Avery Mo's plan to find their sister-in-law is not to reveal their identities, so as to understand the true character of the girls on the list. It just so happens that one of them has been in a coma for many years, and the other appeared out of thin air. Chunying has been staying in the mansion to take care of Sophia Gu and rarely goes out, so the people in Baicheng don't know who they are.
"I understand, miss. How about you wait here and I'll go back to get it?"
Sophia Gu glanced at Avery Mo to ask for her opinion. Avery Mo really didn't expect the things here to be so expensive. "Forget it, let's go to another store. This one is too expensive."
As the three were about to leave, they heard a woman walking by with two maids arrogantly scolding them for being poor.
Avery Mo couldn't help but say, "If the northwest wind hadn't blown, I would have starved to death. Some people are fat and greasy, but they can stand still in a force 10 gale. How admirable~"
"Who are you talking about?"
Avery Mo was grabbed by the back of his neck and almost fell. He turned around and broke free. "I will tell whoever scolded me. Did you scold me?"
Fang Yirou was a little frightened by Avery Mo's fierce eyes and took a few steps back. "You... do you know who I am? I am Fang Yirou, the daughter of Fang Wenshan, the richest man in Baicheng. If you dare to bump into me, I will let my father kill you!"
The richest man in Baicheng! They bumped into him as soon as he went out.
"No matter who you are, you can't insult others casually. If you get angry, you will kill people. Is this how the richest man in Baicheng educates his daughter?"
Sophia Gu naturally couldn't let her sister suffer any injustice, so she went up to say something. Unexpectedly, Fang Yirou got so angry that she slapped Sophia Gu in the face.
Avery Mo reacted quickly and slapped Fang Yirou in the face, "You dare to hit her, you're dead today!"
"I am going to kill you---"
Fang Yirou was not willing to be outdone and started fighting with Avery Mo. For a moment, people from both sides were fighting each other and the scene was very chaotic.
The clerk recognized Fang Yirou and tried to separate her and Avery Mo several times but failed, so he asked someone to go to Fang's house to explain the situation and deal with it quickly. If Fang Yirou really got into trouble in the store, he would not be able to stay in Baicheng.
Fang Hongshan had a daughter named Fang Yiru in his old age. He spoiled her like a jewel in the palm of his hand and gave her whatever she wanted since she was born. Whenever something went wrong, he would fly into a rage and beat and scold the servants at will. He had a very bad temper.
Most people would stay away from them, and would just curse a few words and pretend not to hear anything, but these few people actually got into a fight. They were in for a hard time.
Soon, the Fang family arrived and pulled the men apart. Fang Yirou's mother, Su, saw her daughter's disheveled clothes, messy hair, and red slap marks on her face. She burst into tears and said, "Who gave you the courage to hit our Rou'er?"
"Let us go. It was your daughter who hit us first. Everyone present can testify to this."
Avery Mo, Sophia Gu and Chunying were all held down by the servants brought by the Fang family and could not move.
Su naturally knew her daughter's temper. Looking at Fang Yiru's expression, she immediately knew that she was the one who started the fight. However, she could not admit it. If such a thing were to get out, it would ruin her daughter's reputation and she would not be able to find a good husband.
"Who of you saw it?"
Su asked the people in Hongxiufang but no one dared to answer. Su only asked this question because no one dared to offend the Fang family. Avery Mo was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"It's you who beat my Rou'er like this, someone come and cripple her right hand for me."
Su pointed at Avery Mo, and Avery Mo felt a chill in his heart, struggling to prevent anyone from approaching her. Seeing this, Sophia Gu shouted, "Let her go, do you know who I am?"
Su naturally didn't know Sophia Gu, and sneered, "Even if Prince Wenxuan came today, I would cut off one of her hands!"
"Really? It seems that I, the prince, will be taken over by the Fang family!"
Su was shocked when she heard this. She turned around and saw Elias Gu wearing a dark brocade robe and escorted by palace soldiers. She was so scared that her legs went weak and she knelt down on the spot. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just spoke hastily when I saw my daughter was injured. I didn't have any other intentions."
"You dare to hit the princess. I think you are quite bold."
Sophia Gu cried and called Elias Gu "brother king", and Su fainted on the spot. Oh my God! Her daughter actually hit the princess!
