After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 648: Iron Plate
The young lady was momentarily stunned.
The attendant from Jinyu Pavilion came out to greet her, "The sun is strong outside, please come in, miss."
The young lady withdrew her gaze and stepped forward.
As she walked past the attendant, she asked, "Do you know who that person on horseback is?"
The attendant glanced in that direction and smiled, "That is the Heir of Prince Zhenbei."
"He’s the Heir of Prince Zhenbei?" she raised her voice slightly.
The attendant gave her a deep look.
The appearance of the Heir of Prince Zhenbei was flawless.
If he weren’t so good-looking, no one would have tried to abduct him in the street.
This young lady inquiring about him indicated she had some thoughts about the Heir of Prince Zhenbei.
What a pity.
He’s already taken.
And he’s someone who can’t be trifled with.
If even Princess Shouning and Princess Beimo couldn’t provoke the Princess Consort Zhenbei, who in all of Daqi would dare to challenge her?
Judging by this young lady’s attire, it was clear her status was not ordinary.
However, not recognizing the Heir of Prince Zhenbei suggested she wasn’t from the Capital City. Not being from the Capital City, yet having heard of the Heir of Prince Zhenbei, one must wonder if it was because of his six-year illness that made him widely known, or was it his abduction that made him famous?
The attendant remained silent.
The young lady withdrew her gaze, turned, and entered Jinyu Pavilion.
As she stepped into the shop, Xie Jingchen dismounted and helped Su Jin down.
He had some matters to attend to, so he wouldn’t accompany Su Jin in buying jewelry, planning to pick her up later.
Him not accompanying her was exactly what Su Jin wanted.
With Xie Jingchen by her side, choosing jewelry was just browsing without fully enjoying the process.
Upon entering Jinyu Pavilion, the attendant hurriedly came up to greet them.
After browsing for a round downstairs, Su Jin only bought Xingxing a silver hairpin and two pairs of earrings.
Xingxing couldn’t stop smiling from ear to ear.
"Miss, did you really buy me so many hair accessories?" Xingxing asked, holding the silver hairpin.
"Isn’t your birthday in a few days? These are the birthday gifts I picked for you."
Xingxing’s smile was all teeth and eyes.
The maids and attendants nearby were enviously amazed.
What a wonderful mistress, even remembering the birthday of her maid, and giving her a birthday present.
This maid must have burned high incense in her past life to meet such a good mistress in this one.
Amidst the envious gazes, Xingxing handed the silver hairpin and earrings to the attendant, instructing them to package them beautifully.
After finishing downstairs, Su Jin headed upstairs.
However, while talking with Xingxing, she didn’t pay attention and bumped into someone.
Su Jin instinctively apologized, "I’m sorry."
The attendant looked shocked.
This was the Princess Consort Zhenbei, the daughter of Marquis Dongxiang, the notorious bandit known for abducting people off the street.
And yet she apologized?
Did he hear wrong?
Su Jin’s words came out clearly, and the attendant heard them distinctly, but he couldn’t believe it.
Su Jin thought that having apologized, the matter should be resolved. She truly didn’t mean to bump into someone.
Unexpectedly, the other party wouldn’t let it go, "Sorry?"
"You bumped into our lady and think a simple sorry is enough?!" the maid said with her neck high.
The attendant was speechless.
The people upstairs were equally speechless.
What audacity.
The Princess Consort Zhenbei accidentally bumped into her and even apologized, yet this wasn’t enough?
Such audacity. Who was this girl, so fearless?
Would she be carried out later?
Xingxing glared at the maid.
She wanted to speak, but Su Jin stopped her.
With a slight smile, Su Jin said, "A simple sorry isn’t enough, so what will make it right?"
"Wenyuan Bo Mansion, have you heard of it?!" the maid said aggressively.
Su Jin’s lip twitched, and she played along, patting her chest, "Scared me to death. I can’t afford to provoke Wenyuan Bo Mansion."
"Good that you know!" the maid said smugly.
Soon, a burst of laughter drowned out her smugness.
It had been quiet, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter, so inexplicable.
The maid and the young lady looked confused.
Su Jin didn’t bother with them, having bumped into them and already apologized. Surely a slight bump didn’t warrant costly gifts to Wenyuan Bo Mansion as further apology?
The pleasant mood of shopping was almost ruined by her.
Su Jin looked at a few more sets of hair accessories and felt much better.
The young lady got annoyed from being laughed at, glaring at whoever laughed.
Pointing at Su Jin, she asked the attendant, "Who is she?"
"Someone who can’t afford to provoke Wenyuan Bo Mansion," the attendant said earnestly.
"Then why is everyone laughing?!" the young lady fumed.
Miss.
They are laughing at your ignorance and fearlessness.
"At Jinyu Pavilion, we don’t restrict customers from crying or laughing," the young attendant replied.
The girl was thoroughly annoyed.
Several young ladies nearby whispered amongst themselves.
"Could it be that this girl is so used to being domineering in Yongzhou that she brought all her habits to the Capital City?" one lady laughed.
"Her father is Uncle Wen Yuan. In Yongzhou, no one really dares to mess with her, she can walk sideways," another lady said.
"It’s a pity, this is the Capital City, a small Uncle’s Mansion really isn’t worth mentioning."
"Yet she’s bold enough to come back to the Capital and immediately try to kick an iron plate."
The young ladies covered their mouths and laughed.
Originally planning to go downstairs with their chosen headwear, they unanimously decided to stay and watch the commotion.
This girl’s ego is too high, she definitely won’t let it go easily, there’s sure to be some drama to watch.
Su Jin picked a set of headwear, holding the Purple Jade Hairpin for admiration.
The girl pointed at the Purple Jade Hairpin in her hand and said, "That one, I want to buy it!"
All money and power.
Su Jin looked at her, her face gentle without a hint of anger, "This set of headwear costs three thousand taels, are you sure you want to buy it?"
"It’s just three thousand taels, I am buying it!" the girl said.
The young attendant had a conflicted expression.
Su Jin set down the headwear and said, "Since this young lady desires it, I will reluctantly part with it and sell her this set of headwear."
The young attendant, "..."
He silently packed the headwear.
Su Jin turned to pick something else.
She picked several golden hairpins next, all of which were snatched up by the girl.
Su Jin didn’t get angry.
Such magnanimity left those waiting to watch the show a bit stunned.
Can she really not get mad when being provoked?
Even they would be furious, trying to find a way to regain their dignity.
Has the Princess Consort Zhenbei changed?
After buying five thousand taels worth, when Su Jin picked another set of headwear, the girl fell silent.
The maid gave her a way out and said, "Miss, we’ve bought enough, we cannot buy any more."
The girl hummed heavily, "We’ll let it go for today!"
The punch that was thrown out, all landed on cotton, leaving her fuming inside.
It seems she really doesn’t dare to provoke the Uncle Wen Yuan Mansion.
Su Jin curved her lips into a smile.
Xingxing went over, pointed at the jade hairpin nearby, and said, "Pack this one, this one, and this one along with that set of headwear there for my lady to take in a while."
The young attendant swiftly packed the headwear Xingxing pointed to.
Decorated them in the finest brocade boxes and handed them to Xingxing. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Su Jin laughed lightly and turned to leave.
From the second-floor corridor, they could just see downstairs.
The maid noticed Su Jin didn’t pay, and when the maid herself also left without paying, she asked, "How come they didn’t pay but left?"
The young attendant glanced at them and said, "The headwear you bought, Jinyu Pavilion sold to her for two thousand taels, and she resold it to you for five thousand taels."
"The headwear that was just chosen was worth three thousand taels, just right, so naturally there was no need to pay."
She didn’t have to shell out a penny, thanks to you two fools rushing to pay.
Sold without even realizing it, and still wore a face full of happiness.
However, the young attendant was also happy, as the headwear picked by Princess Consort Zhenbei’s maid still lacked ten taels to make three thousand.
These ten taels, of course, would be his tip.
The girl’s face immediately turned an awful shade, as ugly as could be.
The other young ladies waiting to see the excitement were dumbfounded.
They never expected it could be played out like this.
The excitement had been fully enjoyed, yet they hadn’t realized what happened.
That set of headwear they inquired about was one thousand three hundred taels.
When the Princess Consort Zhenbei said three thousand, they thought it was intentionally said to dissuade that girl.
Unexpectedly, she really sold it for three thousand taels.
So effortlessly deceiving someone out of three thousand taels, and making her so arrogantly pleased, nearly wagging her tail, the Princess Consort Zhenbei was indeed impressive.
The shopkeeper always said harmony brings wealth, and he truly witnessed it today.
The girl was so upset she wanted to leave.
Unfortunately, without paying, she wouldn’t even think about leaving.
Though she bought her headwear from Princess Consort Zhenbei, it was sold on behalf by Jinyu Pavilion.
This money naturally was received by Jinyu Pavilion.
If she left, wouldn’t Jinyu Pavilion lose three thousand taels?
Grabbing someone else’s goods, having inadvertently grabbed a hot potato, she could only bear the pain and accept it.
If even Princess Shouning couldn’t contend with Princess Consort Zhenbei, what chance does a mere girl from a small Uncle’s Mansion have?
The girl gritted her teeth, "Who is she?"
"I will not forgive her!"
The young attendant’s lips twitched, unsure whom she would not forgive, "That is Princess Consort Zhenbei."
The girl, "..."
The maid, "..."
