Chen Mingzhu listened to her mother's matter-of-fact words, her lips curving slightly, and said defiantly, "But right now is not peony's blooming season; where can I find a pot of flowers for someone?"
Lady of the Marquis Mingyi glared at her and said, "If it were really that easy to find, how could it be considered precious?"
She spoke slowly, "A long time ago, I had the craftsmen in the mansion prepare to see if they could cultivate a peony at this season. Unfortunately, peonies are too delicate to survive."
"In recent days, it's been reported that near Changan Street in the Capital City, a store called Flower King Pavilion opened; the owner is very mysterious, opening for just two days before closing, but the sign of the Flower King Pavilion was not taken down. Daring to use such a name, they must have some skill. I will send people to keep an eye out, and if there's news, we must act swiftly."
