"The items at Treasure Pavilion are small and expensive, yet they sell well," said the Empress. "Many concubines have mentioned to me that they want the Imperial Household to procure some things from Treasure Pavilion."
"I never thought the owner behind it might be her."
"I discovered this by chance. The shopkeeper was once someone close to Xiao Chunyu in the Wu family," the Duchess excitedly revealed her important discovery. "I thought, even if he were an old acquaintance, there's no way he could have the funds to open a shop. Especially since the items in the shop are quite exquisite. How much wealth could a servant possibly have? With all the unexpected occurrences, I dared to speculate."
"Elder sister, you must not spread this matter."
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I can keep my mouth shut."
The Empress merely smiled.
If her mouth were truly tight, she wouldn't have revealed the identity of Treasure Pavilion's owner to her.
