Chapter 41, Break

 It was still the same shop where he bought arrow feathers earlier. Lu Feng explained his purpose to a clerk.

“Can your store make custom-made arrow fletchings?”

"Arrow feathers?" The man was a little confused.

Lu Feng nodded, took out a few engraved drawings, pointed to the exquisitely carved arrow feather patterns and said, "I want to order some arrow feathers of this specification. Can you make them?"

In the distance, the boss, who was resting on a recliner, coughed twice after hearing the noise. He walked slowly over, took Lu Feng's drawings and glanced at them, his face full of shock: "Did you draw these drawings?"

Lu Feng nodded. The drawings he took out this time were all basic arrow feather specifications. He had not drawn the more mysterious ones yet.

I am not afraid that these special arrow feathers will spread. After all, just having arrow feathers does not understand the specialized archery skills, and it is useless to hold them.

"It's been a long time since I've seen anyone who likes to use bows and arrows." The boss said with emotion: "You have many different specifications of arrow feathers. If you only need a dozen or so, our store..."

Lu Feng interrupted: "For the time being, help me build a hundred of each specification."

"There are at least nearly ten specifications depicted on your drawing. The cost of making this is not low."

The boss said, ordinary arrow feathers are not very expensive, but the arrow feathers Lu Feng needs are too special and strange, and some of the materials alone far exceed the price of ordinary swords.

Lu Feng took out a piece of exquisite jade and handed it to the shop owner: "I will mortgage this with you first. I will come and pay off the redemption after the construction is completed."

The boss took the jade piece and looked at it. Both the material and the craftsmanship were rare in the world. The price was very high, far exceeding the price of these arrow feathers. He now trusted this cheerful young man a lot.

"It will be completed within three days." The boss vowed, not daring to have any thoughts of embezzling the jade pendant. He knew that he could never afford to offend someone who could produce such a top-quality jade.

Lu Feng nodded in thanks and said by the way: "This jade pendant means a lot to me. I hope you keep it well and don't lose it."

The jade pendant was a gift from a senior brother of the Qinghe Sect. Lu Feng had always cherished it very much. If it weren't for the current financial constraints, he would never have done so.

"Of course," the boss nodded and watched Lu Feng leave.

After finishing everything, Lu Feng returned to Jiang Mansion and was about to wake up Jiang Ruoyun, but he found that she was not in the side courtyard.

From Xiaorou's mouth, I learned that Jiang Ruoyun was called over by the master of the palace.

Thinking that it might be because Jiang Feng and others were injured in the side yard, Lu Feng was worried that Jiang Ruoyun would be embarrassed, so he hurried over.

Although he is obviously a member of the Jiang Mansion, he still has to be sneaky when walking in the Jiang Mansion.

Due to the strict rules of Jiang Mansion, slaves were not allowed to enter the inner hall without permission. In desperation, Lu Feng had no choice but to use exquisite steps to avoid the patrols of guards everywhere.

Fortunately, when Lu Feng rushed to the inner hall of Jiang Mansion, he happened to see Jiang Ruoyun raising his legs and stepping towards the door. After calling out from afar, he went up and followed him.

In the inner hall, Jiang Batian, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Jiang Ruoyun who came in, stopped talking to the guests, and said, "Ruoyun is here, sit down quickly."

Looking at the smile on Jiang Batian's face, Lu Feng knew that calling Jiang Ruoyun here this time was not to investigate Jiang Feng and others' affairs.

Looking around at the young people sitting on both sides of the hall, Lu Feng was surprised to find that Jiang Feng and others were sitting at the table, and they seemed to have recovered from their injuries. He guessed that it was because Jiang Mansion bought a large amount of healing elixirs to cure them.

Jiang Aotian and Jiang Juetian, who were sitting on either side of Jiang Batian, looked at Jiang Ruoyun with somewhat indifferent eyes. Jiang Aotian was even a little impatient and disgusted.

Jiang Ruoyun pretended not to see it at all, glanced around the hall, and was shocked to find that there was no place for her here...

Jiang Ruoyun couldn't help but laugh to herself, "My status in Jiang Mansion is really getting worse and worse. It was just fine in the past, but today I am so embarrassed in front of guests."

Looking at Jiang Ruoyun who was standing there not knowing what to do, some young boys and girls sitting around laughed at him.

The leader, Jiang Batian, noticed Jiang Ruoyun's embarrassment, frowned somewhat displeased and ordered: "Go and bring a stool for the lady."

"No need," Jiang Ruoyun said coldly. Since this is already the case, there is no need to sit down again.

He glanced around, as if looking at a group of strangers.

Jiang Ruoyun straightened up and asked Jiang Batian, "I wonder what the palace master called Ruoyun here for?"

Although Jiang Ruoyun still had a trace of affection for Jiang Batian in her heart, in the current scene she had to kill this affection and hide it deep in her heart.

Listening to Jiang Ruoyun's cold and unhuman tone, Jiang Batian felt helpless. He didn't know that Jiang Ruoyun had been ridiculed coldly over the years. It was the Jiang Mansion that forced him to be so indifferent now.

"It's Mr. Shi who's looking for you." Jiang Batian glanced at an old man sitting under the stage.

Jiang Ruoyun looked around and saw a well-dressed old man sitting under the stage on the other side. He looked familiar upon closer inspection. He recalled the memories in his mind and remembered that the old man who gave a speech at the Qinglong Town annual meeting last year was exactly the man in front of him.

He is the previous head of the Shi family.

The old man said with some emotion: "Originally I just wanted to come here to see Miss Shang Jiang, but I saw this wonderful show. Miss Jiang's character is really good."

The old man was naturally referring to the trivial matters in Jiang Mansion's past. Anyone who was not blind could tell that Jiang Ruoyun and Jiang Mansion were not on good terms.

"I wonder why the old gentleman came here?" Jiang Ruoyun asked doubtfully.

The old man was a little confused. Could it be that the letter was not left by Jiang Ruoyun?

A trace of worry flashed across his face. He urgently needed this prescription because someone in the house was anxiously waiting for treatment.

Lu Feng bent down and explained the reason softly in Jiang Ruoyun's ear. He highlighted the key points and spoke succinctly about disclosing the prescription to Shi Mansion. As for the hoarding of cordyceps, he did not have time to mention it later.

When the old man saw Lu Feng next to Jiang Ruoyun, a shrewd look flashed in his eyes, as if he understood something, and he said, "Let's make a price."

The rest of the people present, including Jiang Batian, were at a loss as to what the old gentleman was talking about.

What on earth is worthy of the abdicated former head of the Shi Mansion personally coming forward?

Jiang Ruoyun raised his head and glanced at Lu Feng, asking for his opinion. After all, the prescription was his, and he obviously knew the price better.

But her casual glance caused ripples in everyone's hearts.

Who is the young man standing next to Jiang Ruoyun?

Why haven't I seen it before?

Some people had doubts when Lu Feng appeared, but due to the uncomfortable situation, they temporarily regarded him as Jiang Ruoyun's servant.

And now, Jiang Ruoyun is actually asking a 'servant'?

This is a bit unclear.

Lu Feng leaned over again and said a few words in Jiang Ruoyun's ear. Jiang Ruoyun hesitated for a moment and said, "One hundred thousand."

Don't dare to make the sound too loud.

A prescription costs 100,000 yuan. Jiang Ruoyun was a little confused whether she heard it wrong or Lu Feng said it wrong.

But he still said it according to Lu Feng's words.

Mr. Shi hesitated for a moment, as if he was weighing something, but he quickly stood up and said solemnly to Lu Feng: "One hundred thousand, I'll give it to you tomorrow."

That's right, the old man was not talking to Jiang Ruoyun, but was talking to Lu Feng.

With his experience at his age, how could he not see that Lu Feng was behind all of this?

Seeing the old man getting up to say goodbye to Jiang Batian and about to leave, Lu Feng shouted: "Don't bother the old man to send it over. Ruoyun and I will visit you tomorrow."

The old man nodded and walked out the door.

Jiang Ruoyun was very happy at the moment, but due to the embarrassment of the situation, he did not show it.

One hundred thousand copper soul coins!

Such a huge amount, she has never seen so much money in her entire life.

With these 100,000 copper coins, she no longer has to worry about housing.

Everyone in the Jiang Mansion had a look of shock on their faces. How could the girl in front of them, who was considered to be the waste daughter of the Jiang Mansion, be able to negotiate on an equal footing with such a highly respected person as the former head of the Shi Mansion?

It seems that the old gentleman still wants Jiang Ruoyun?

Jiang Batian was also a little unbelievable, but more than anything, he was happy. In the past two years, he had not taken too much care of Jiang Ruoyun. He had never fulfilled his duties as a grandfather. Seeing Jiang Ruoyun's changes was naturally extremely gratifying.

"Ahem!" Jiang Batian coughed twice and said to Jiang Ruoyun: "Ruoyun, what are you dealing with Mr. Shi?"

Jiang Ruoyun raised his head and looked at Jiang Batian. This nominal grandfather had indeed taken good care of her in the early years, but since his strength had declined, his care had gradually faded away.

But the enthusiasm in Jiang Batian's eyes now is exactly the same as when Jiang Ruoyun was at his best. If he hadn't experienced so much over the years, Jiang Ruoyun would have thought that nothing had ever happened.

But how can we forget what has already happened?

"This is Ruoyun's own private matter. It has caused trouble to the Jiang Mansion. Ruoyun hereby expresses my sincere apologies."

As Jiang Ruoyun spoke, he bowed deeply to the elders sitting in high positions. The coldness of his words seemed to make this bow like a ceremony to break with the Jiang family.

Jiang Batian was a little embarrassed. Looking at Jiang Ruoyun's familiar yet unfamiliar figure, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Let's go," Jiang Ruoyun said to Lu Feng.

"Stop! If you don't explain clearly the reason for the one hundred thousand yuan, you can't leave." Jiang Aotian, the second master of the palace, said coldly. He had always disliked this talented girl in the past.

"Oh? If we don't tell you the reason for this hundred thousand today, will the Second Palace Master still want to use force to keep us?"

Jiang Ruoyun sarcastically said that she didn't have any mercy at all, and there was no need to. Over the years, the second palace master had allowed his grandchildren to bully her.

"How can you, a person who can't pay you a thousand coppers a month, have items worth a hundred thousand? If you don't tell me clearly, I will expel you from the Jiang Mansion and report it to the Prison Mansion to deal with it!" Jiang Aotian snorted coldly.

Jiang Batian on the side came to his senses and wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.
