It was the second month of the lunar month, and the spring breeze brought warmth to the world. The whole of Mingxuan was flourishing, and the capital's Liangjing was even more bustling. There was even news circulating on the streets that Great General and Lu Moting's daughter Lu Jinnian was going to choose a husband and marry him within this year.

Hearing this news, the crowd didn't sigh at the good news that was about to arrive at Great General's house, nor did they have wild thoughts about Great General's direct daughter.

Everyone had a look of schadenfreude on their faces, as they counted the noble young masters of the families who deserved Miss Lu's identity, and guessed who the unlucky person who wanted to marry Miss Lu was.

It was known to all that Miss Lu was the undisputed ugliest girl in all of Liangjing City. Even if she was ugly, she was still someone like the Saltless Grass Bag that no one knew of in the Six Arts Scriptures.

Therefore, those who stayed at home all year round, even Great General's servants, who had seen Miss Lu before, were few in number.

Don't ask them why they haven't seen Miss Lu before, they already know that she is ugly without any salt, and this was passed down from the palace.

It was said that His Majesty Seventh Prince cried for three days and three nights after seeing Miss Lu, and he bluntly said that he had never seen such an ugly person before.

Even they said that he was unsightly to the point that the heavens would resent him. Even if they had never seen him, it was enough for them to think about it. It was enough to make a joke out of him.

When Miss Lu was twelve years old, she had laughed herself to the point where she could reach the age of sixteen. When other girls reached the age of thirty, the threshold to ask for marriage had already been broken and Miss Lu didn't even have the shadow to ask about it for a whole year.

Now that word of Miss Lu's choice of husband spread out, no one took it as a joke. They all felt that Miss Lu should be worried.

However, the protagonist of the street gossip, Lu Jinnian, was in the back room of a clothing shop, holding an account book in one hand and a brush in the other.

Lu Jinnian, a transcender, sixteen years old, thirty-eight years old in two lifetimes.

Originally, the most senior commander of the Chinese Marines, who could play the role of a heavy soldier and win countless battles, had thought that he would be loyal to his country for the rest of his life, until he died valiantly.

Who would have thought that after not taking her life on the battlefield, she would be hit by the bomb fragments during a small training exercise and die. This resulted in the rebirth of Mingxuan's Great General's direct daughter.

Lu Jinnian spent a whole year adjusting her state of mind. After all, she had gone from a normal adult to a country where she had never experienced such things before, living a life full of bugs without even thinking. Great Commander Lu, who had been working hard all her life, was still not used to it.

However, she felt relieved after thinking it through. Since she came here, she might as well take it as if she had retired early in her previous life to enjoy life for the rest of her life.

Unexpectedly, after a short while, Lu Jinnian's mother, Great General's official wife, Chu Yundi, left without saying goodbye when she was more than a year old.

There was a blood brother who was five years older than her. He studied at Xujing Academy and never went back home once a year.

Of course, Lu Jinnian was an orphan in her previous life and was used to having no relatives or family members to care for her. But what was annoying was that there were still two concubines in Great General's residence.

Taking her ugly appearance as an example, Seventh Prince had only started out. He was able to spread it all over the entire Liangjing city, and even the cities far away had heard of her because of his concubine and two concubines.

Lu Jinnian chuckled. She could ignore the mockery and mockery of her concubine and the gossip of the outside world, but she could not tolerate being left without any backing, left to others.

In her previous life, she was already used to planning. Even if she had food and clothing, the only thing that could make her stand in a passive position was one word: dream!

This clothing shop's name was Embroidery Workshop, and was one of the businesses that Lu Jinnian had secretly developed after she understood her situation.

According to the fashion magazines he had seen in his previous life, it had only been two years since the modern and original clothing design concept was combined with the ancient fabric and embroidery knitting technology. In this short period of time, it had become an outstanding product of the clothing industry.

However, other than Lu Jinnian herself and a group of subordinates that she had personally trained, no one else knew.

After reading the account book, Lu Jinnian stretched lazily. Seeing the bitter and vengeful expression of Yi Nuan, the servant girl guarding at the side, Lu Jinnian couldn't help but strike her on the forehead with her brush as she found it funny.

"Yi Nuanwei, even if the wrinkles on your forehead will make your appearance different, I still wish for you to always be worried and forever smile."

Yi Nuan smiled dotingly at her mistress. Even though she knew Lu Jinnian had the habit of flirting with people whenever she wanted, she still couldn't help but blush. She said helplessly, "Miss, you're about to be forced into marriage. Why are you still so carefree?"

Her delicate face was fair and tender, her beautiful fox eyes were curved, her dark pupils were like stars, and her cherry lips bloomed into a smile that was even more beautiful than the spring flowers. Where did the rumours say she was ugly?

However, Lu Jinnian wasn't as nervous as she was. "Didn't they already find out who released this news? But she's rather nosy. As long as I don't agree, they won't cause any trouble."

Yi Nuan was still a bit worried, but she heard Lu Jinnian say, "However, I have tolerated enough these past few years. Since they want more, don't blame me for not caring for the fairer sex."

"Bad news, Master!" The owner of the Embroidery Workshop, Wen Qiu, hurriedly ran in.

Lu Jinnian was surprised. Wen Qiu was someone she had single-handedly promoted. She had a calm personality and was very adept at doing business. She had never seen Wen Qiu flustered like this, so she asked, "What happened?"

"Mistress, Lu Liu-Li and Third Miss Lu fought with the Prime Minister's daughter, Pei Yin."

Lu Jinnian rubbed her chin. "Second Miss Lu and Third Miss Lu, my two younger sisters?" How could they have the guts to fight with the Prime Minister's daughter? "Well, let's not talk about that. Just let them fight as they please. As long as they don't accidentally hurt our people, it will be fine."

"Oh, right. The items weren't damaged by them, right? If they were damaged, then I need to make a list and have them pay for it."

Wen Qiu smiled bitterly, "Mistress, our people and things are fine, because they have already been beaten from the Embroidery Workshop to the streets outside. Other than scaring the customers into not picking out clothes, there's not much of an impact, it's just that …"

"But what?"

"Mistress, they said it was a fight, but their filthy words are all directed at you."

Yi Nuan frowned. "Don't tell me they knew Miss was in the back room?" It's not like they know that Embroidery Workshop is Young Miss's business. "

Lu Jinnian smiled. "They don't know anything. They are just playing a little smart. Let's go take a look."
