After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 686 Ivory Hairpin

Qiu He took a look and said, "It doesn't look like wood, nor does it look like jade. It's very special."

After hearing her words, Xia Wan suddenly remembered that this was not an ordinary hairpin, but an ivory hairpin, and this hairpin was not cheap.

Qiu He saw her and smiled: "Madam, do you know?"

Xia Wanniang whispered to her, "This hairpin is made of ivory."

"Ivory?" Qiu He was a little surprised. She had never seen an elephant so she didn't know what ivory was.

Xia Wanniang didn't explain to her now: "Anyway, this hairpin can be exchanged for a very nice house in the capital."

Qiu He widened her eyes. She had never thought that a hairpin could be so valuable.

While dealing with these female relatives, Xia Wanniang listened to gossip and inquired about their clothes.

She has an idea about those whose families have businesses, but some people whose families do not have businesses and do not have more income, but dress more than they should, become her focus.

However, it does not rule out the possibility that many ladies dress appropriately and properly, neither outshining Xia Wanniang nor losing face.

The banquet ended happily, and when everyone left, they didn't know what the purpose of holding the banquet was.

Xibao and Xile were sent to Xu Mansion early in the morning to play with their little brother Pippi.

Xiao Chiye brought his son to entertain the male guests, and when everyone gathered together, he summarized the situation.

Qingfeng and Yunhe did not participate. Their identities were somewhat embarrassing, so they avoided contact with these people.

Xiao Chiye looked at them and said, "They are all old foxes. They are very careful with their words. It is harder than climbing to the sky to get information from them."

Xia Wanniang looked at them with a smile: "I have gained a lot."

Qingfeng waved his fan and looked at her: "You don't mean to gossip a lot!"

Xia Wanniang: "Their gossip is just to add insult to injury and to flatter me. But the useful information is not what they say."

Qingfeng: "Then please enlighten me, Madam."

Xia Wanniang did not keep anyone in suspense: "Madam Guo, the commander of the Imperial Guard, wore a dress of Xiangyun gauze today, and her body was covered with jewels. Madam Cai, the commander of the city defense army, was dressed quite conventionally, except for a special hairpin in her hair."

Yun He was a little confused: "Is there any problem with this?"

Xiao Chiye narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiangyunsha is not cheap. Although the salary of the commander of the Imperial Guards is not so high that it cannot be afforded, it still requires some connections to buy it. In addition, her jewels are probably not cheap!"

Qingfeng also reacted: "Is it because her family is rich?"

Xia Wanniang: "I have asked Qiu He. Madam Guo's family is just a poor aristocratic family. They have no money. As for whether the commander of the Imperial Guards has money, we have to wait for news from Master Qiu."

Qingfeng: "So what is that special hairpin?"

Xia Wanniang curled her lips and smiled: "Ivory."

"Hiss!" Qingfeng and the others took a breath of cold air. This was not an ordinary thing.

Yun He: "So all of them have problems?"

Xia Wanniang was not sure if there were other people: "There are a few others. I also asked Mr. Qiu to check. There should be news soon. We will see then!"

Xiao Chiye looked at Qingfeng: "If the Imperial Guards and the City Guards have problems, then what is the most likely thing to happen?"

The pupils in Qingfeng's eyes shrank, and he mouthed two words: "Palace coup."

Xia Wanniang nodded: "The most likely time to take action is when Hanyu gets married."

Xiao Chiye felt a headache: "Looks like I have to go to the palace tomorrow."

Yun He: "Could it be the Ninth Prince?"

Xiao Chiye: "It's hard to say. After all, you saw Zhong Li go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion. If this is a trick, then he may not be the one who actually took action."

Xia Wanniang: "Now we are preparing for a rainy day, so we can solve the problem sooner if we have a better idea of ​​what to do."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Okay, go to bed early. Let's hand this matter over to the higher-ups tomorrow. We can't always be the ones doing the hard work. We also need to take a rest."
