The old lady did not understand, “What do you mean?

“Grandma, I just want normal sets of ready-to-wear clothes. As for the embroidery work, I’ll find an embroiderer to do it if I need it. I’m selling something else.

“The old lady was curious, “What is it?”

“A skill. A skill in matching outfits and makeup.”

There was no such profession as a stylist or coordinator yet in this era, but Shu Yu was well-versed in this line of work.

In her previous life, she had used this as her starting point. She had first gotten close to a celebrity the big shot supported. Through the celebrity, she had gotten to know the big shot and deliberately displayed her abilities in other aspects before the other party. Finally, step by step, she managed to stand by the big shot’s side.

Although she had not been in this line of work for a long time, she had not lost her foundation. The knowledge she had learned was still in her mind.

Shu Yu had already planned it out. She was already prepared for her possible ending of exile and was not trying to change it.

That being said, she could come back after being exiled, possibly in a month or two. After all, she was only the Shu family’s adopted daughter, and she was almost killed by the Shu family. Others wouldn’t care about her outcome.

However, if she wanted to return in such a short time after her exile, she had to know someone who could bring her back.

The current Jiangyuan County was very poor. People like the county magistrate had long been tied to the same boat as the Shu family. If the Shu family was exiled, the officials in the county were probably going to change as well. As such, Shu Yu had never counted on these people.

However, Shu Yu still remembered one thing that was written in the book. The second wife of the vice minister from the capital’s central judicial office, Madam Chang, had a cousin, Madam Deng, who married into the wealthy Jiang family of Jiangyuan County.

Their relationship was rather complicated. The wife of the central judicial office’s vice minister had a good relationship with Madam Deng when they were young. However, when Madam Chang’s family was in trouble, not only did the Deng family not help, they even hit them when they were down. The relationship between the two families was broken, but in private, Madam Deng maintained a good relationship with Madam Chang. When Madam Chang had been in trouble, Madam Deng had secretly helped her.

It was likely that even Madam Deng’s husband’s family did not know about this. It was only after a while when the central judicial office’s vice minister came to Dongan Prefecture to investigate the Shu family incident that everyone learned of their relationship when the two met.

Shu Yu had her eyes on Madam Deng. As long as the central judicial office’s vice minister turned a blind eye to her background, there was a lot of room for manipulation.

In the past, she did not care about being exiled or not. After all, even if she went to a remote place, Shu Yu could still work hard and lead a good life. She had no people or things to miss in Dongan Prefecture, so it did not matter if she went to a new place.

As such, even though she knew the outcome, she had never thought of coming back.

But it was different now. Now… She had a family. Whether it was the old lady who had a tough mouth but a soft heart, Lu Erbai who was so stubborn that he almost crippled his legs just to find his daughter, the gentle but warm Madam Ruan, Dahu who pretended to be calm, or Sanya whose eyes were filled with joy the moment she saw her, and even… Daya whom she had never even met but still gave her the best things.

They had all given her the warmth of family that she had been missing for many years, and Shu Yu could not bear to part with them. She wanted to come back and live with them.

At the thought of this, Shu Yu reached out and held the old lady hand, who looked confused. She smiled and said, “Grandma, let’s open a ready-to-wear clothing shop. I’ll tell you the details later.

A ready-to-wear clothing shop? The old lady was surprised. She wanted to open a shop right away? The cost of opening a clothing store was not low..
