Princess Royal Nanyuan's words meant that she was willing to be Jiujiu's backer. Jiujiu naturally couldn't ask for anything more and hurriedly thanked her.
Jiujiu stayed behind to chat with Princess Royal Nanyuan for a while before returning to the store.
Jiujiu had just arrived at the clothing store when she was notified by the staff that someone was looking for her.
Jiujiu had the staff invite the person in.
The moment she saw the person, Jiujiu was stunned.
Because the person who came was none other than Princess Royal Nanyuan's ex-husband, Marquis Xuan Ping.
Marquis Xuan Ping was already a few years older than Princess Royal Nanyuan. In recent years, he had indulged in women and was busy with court matters. Yesterday, he was also affected by Princess Royal Nanyuan's departure. Right now, he actually looked to be in his fifties.
The moment Xuan Pinghou saw Jiujiu, a look of amazement flashed across his eyes. Then, he asked, "You're Madame Li?"
To be able to say her name, it was clear that Marquis Xuan Ping had investigated her before coming.
Jiujiu nodded and said, "This woman is indeed Miss Li. Why is mister looking for me?"
"Princess Royal Nanyuan's clothes were made here by you."
Jiujiu nodded, "That's right. Does mister also want to order clothes from me?"
"No, I'm here to ask you something." Marquis Xuan Ping looked at the beautiful but cold Jiujiu in front of him and asked, "Princess Royal Nanyuan's clothes should be made by people from the palace. To be able to find you this time, you naturally have some outstanding skills."
"I don't dare to say that I have outstanding skills. It's just that I've liked to sew since I was young and was appreciated by the princess."
"Since she appreciates you, then you naturally have outstanding skills." Marquis Xuan Ping picked up his teacup and took a sip. His brows were knitted together like Princess Liancheng.
Casually placing the teacup on the table, Marquis Xuan Ping looked at Jiujiu and said, "I just heard that Princess Royal Nanyuan called you to her residence early in the morning?"
Jiujiu nodded. "The eldest princess really liked the clothes I made last time. This time, she told me that I will make her clothes in the future."
"Even so, it's impossible for her to stay until now. She must have said something to you."
Jiujiu nodded. "The Princess did say something to me, but I don't know why Sir is asking about this."
The Marquis of Xuan Ping sighed and looked at Jiujiu. "To tell you the truth, I am the Princess's husband, the Marquis of Xuan Ping. I have come here because I have a request."
"I heard from the princess that you two have already divorced. You must be her ex-husband."
Princess Nanyuan's divorce from Marquis Xuan Ping was not a small matter, so not many people knew about it.
However, Jiujiu had suddenly revealed that the two of them had already separated, which instantly made Marquis Xuan Ping feel somewhat embarrassed.
It also clearly showed that the relationship between Jiujiu and Princess Royal of Nanyuan was not ordinary.
After all, the person who could tell her about her divorce was either a trusted aide or someone she trusted the most.
And Jiujiu was clearly the latter.
The Marquis Xuan Ping who was just trying his luck looked at Jiujiu with a bright gaze.
Since she was someone Princess Royal of Nanyuan trusted, she could naturally speak in front of Princess Royal.
"Since you already know that I have separated from the princess, then you should know what the princess thinks of me. I don't know if you can help me send a message to the princess. Just say that I know my mistake. I hope that the princess will stop messing around and mend our relationship as soon as possible."
The Marquis Xuan Ping's words almost made Jiujiu laugh to death.
Even at this point, the Marquis Xuan Ping was still dreaming of mend their relationship.
And what did he say?
He wanted the princess to stop messing around.
Princess Royal of Nanyuan had used so much determination to divorce him, but in his eyes, Princess Royal of Nanyuan was messing around.
This kind of man, even though Princess Royal of Nanyuan had completely separated from him, he still felt that the other party was messing around. He would probably never realize his mistake in this lifetime.
It seemed that Princess Royal of Nanyuan had given him too much of a sense of security, so much so that he felt that Princess Royal of Nanyuan could not leave him.
Jiujiu laughed softly and looked at the Marquis Xuan Ping, "I don't know if I can ask the Marquis a question?"
At this moment, the Marquis Xuan Ping was still thinking that Jiujiu could speak for him in front of Princess Royal of Nanyuan, so he was naturally very willing to cooperate with Jiujiu, "Miss, please speak."
"I heard that Princess Shang cannot take concubines. Why do you have so many concubines in the Marquis Fu?"
Princess Shang could not take concubines, but Princess Royal of Nanyuan had injured her body when she gave birth to Princess Liancheng, so she could not bear another child. Secondly, their Marquis Fu had some face in front of the Emperor. Princess Royal of Nanyuan liked him too much, so she pleaded for him in front of the Emperor, so he could take concubines.
In the beginning, the Marquis Xuan Ping only wanted a concubine to give birth to a child that could carry on the family line.
But as he had more and more women, his heart became greedier. In the end, he did not know why he had so many concubines.
The Marquis Xuan Ping knew that Jiujiu was still standing on Princess Royal of Nanyuan's side, so he would speak the truth. He softly said that the reason he took concubines was because Princess Royal of Nanyuan could not bear a child for him. He had no choice.
The Marquis Xuan Ping's words made it sound like he was an innocent person who was forced to take concubines.
The Marquis Xuan Ping's words almost made Jiujiu laugh.
Jiujiu looked at the Marquis Xuan Ping and softly said, "The Marquis might not know who my husband is, right?"
"Who is your husband?"
"My husband is the new top scorer, Xiang Bei."
The Marquis Xuan Ping naturally knew who Xiang Bei was.
The Emperor had personally appointed him as the top scorer and had placed him in an important position.
He had also heard that Xiang Bei was already married, but he had always thought that someone like Xiang Bei would naturally have a wife who was a good match for him. So when Jiujiu said that her husband was Xiang Bei, the Marquis Xuan Ping was stunned.
Because a merchant's wife and a top scorer were completely incompatible.
Seeing the shock on the Marquis Xuan Ping's face, Jiujiu faintly smiled and continued, "My husband and I met through a misunderstanding. At that time, my husband had already passed away for two years and I also had two children.
I saw that he was pitiful and kept helping him. Later on, he wanted to come to the capital to take the imperial examinations and I also wanted my children to receive the best education, so we came to the capital together. After he took the imperial examinations, he asked me if I could marry him.
I asked him for a long time, but he still wanted to marry me, so I agreed to marry him.
At that time, my shop had already gained a firm foothold in the capital and it was no exaggeration to say that it was raking in gold every day. On the other hand, my husband was just a poor and pedantic scholar. Besides reading and writing, there was nothing good about him. At that time, the people in my shop all said that my husband was living off a woman and relied on me to support him. "
The Marquis Xuan Ping coldly snorted, "Short-sighted."
Jiujiu chuckled, "I know. Later on, when the results of the imperial examinations came out and my husband came out on top, I asked him if he ever regretted it."
The Marquis Xuan Ping asked, "What did he say?"
Jiujiu faintly smiled, "My husband did not reply to me at that time. Until the day he became the top scorer, he told me that he was finally worthy of me."
