Chapter 614: Everyone else’s gifts have been given, so naturally the Ninth Prince must also receive
Zhuang Ruolan laughed heartily, "It seems we are kindred spirits!"
Zhenniang smiled and nodded.
Zhuang Ruolan glanced at Li Meiqian, who looked grim, and said, "Everyone in Kyoto knows that Yuxiu Pavilion and my Baoshang Bank have been doing business together for many years. A guest of Zhenniang's stature must have met the owner of Baoshang Bank before."
"Since Madam Zhen is here, please prove my identity to Madam Liu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest princess?"
Zhenniang covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "It's a small matter, but I helped Mr. Zhuang this time. Next time, Mr. Zhuang, you have to lower the interest rate on the loan you give me!"
Zhuang Ruolan smiled brightly, "Sure, sure!"
After hearing this, Zhenniang turned around with satisfaction and looked at Li Meiqian, "Madam Liu, we have met several times. You should recognize me, right?"
Without waiting for Li Meiqian to speak, she pointed at the clothes she was wearing and said, "This Lanshang Ziyanluo gauze skirt you are wearing is from our Jade Embroidery Pavilion. If Zhenniang remembers correctly, it seems that Zhenniang sold it to you personally."
Li Meiqian glanced at her clothes in panic, pinched the hem of her skirt nervously and guiltily, and said nothing.
"If Madam Liu doesn't deny it, then I'll take it as your admission."
"Now that you've admitted it, Madam, there shouldn't be any doubts about my identity, right?"
"Then I wonder if I, the Pavilion Master of the Jade Embroidery Pavilion, can guarantee Mr. Zhuang enough?"
Li Meiqian's face was cold and pale, and she couldn't utter a word.
What else could she say?
Even the head of Yuxiu Pavilion came to testify for that man, how could she still say that the truth was a lie?
Seeing this, Baili Ruyun also spoke up, "Since Madam Liu has no objection to Mr. Zhuang's identity, does that mean you also agree with what Mr. Zhuang said?"
"This colorful glass tea set is a precious gift from Princess Li to me. Now that it has entered the Princess's Palace, it means that it belongs to my Princess's Palace!"
"I don't care what Madam Liu's reason is for hiring someone to cause trouble, but since they destroyed things in my princess mansion, they must pay the price!"
"Seven million taels, not a cent less!"
"Princess..." Li Meiqian couldn't help but beg for mercy after hearing these cold words.
However, Baili Ruyun didn't give her a chance to speak. "If Madam Liu can't come up with that much money, you can ask Aunt Zhaohe to pay for it. After all, you are a member of the Liu family and the eldest daughter-in-law. They should share the burden for you!"
The three words "eldest daughter-in-law" sounded extremely ironic at this moment. Only Li Meiqian herself knew what her status was in the Liu family.
"Madam Liu, do you have anything else to say?"
Baili Ruyun's repeated pressure forced Li Meiqian to take on the debt.
She definitely couldn't come up with seven million.
But at this point, she could only agree to it for now. As for whether she could pay back the money or not, that would be discussed later.
Li Meiqian fled with Qin'er. Nanny Chen saw what Li Meiqian was thinking and immediately said a few words to Baili Ruyun.
After hearing this, Baili Ruyun sneered. Is it so easy to shirk her debt?
After Li Meiqian left, the matter of the colorful glass tea set came to an end.
Shu He walked over and thanked Zhen Niang and Zhuang Ruolan, "Thank you both for your help today. Otherwise, I would have a hard time getting rid of this stigma of 'passing off inferior goods as good ones'!"
Zhuang Ruolan snorted lightly, her face full of displeasure. "You insisted on buying something I couldn't bear to use, and what happened? Someone plotted against it and broke it!"
What a waste!
Shu He scratched his hairline awkwardly and said in a somewhat flattering tone, "How about asking Lord Jin to make another set?"
Zhuang Ruolan snorted, "I already said it's a masterpiece. Do you really think it's that easy?"
Shu He touched his nose and thought, it shouldn’t be that difficult, right?
After all, the Lord of Jin Castle had sent someone to contact her before, wanting to buy a pill that could strengthen her vitality.
If Guiyuan Pill is used as a condition, I guess the old man would agree, right?
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Nanqi behind her glaring at Zhuang Ruolan coldly, "Mr. Zhuang, how can you talk to the princess like that?"
Do you want to be beaten by your master again?
When Zhuang Ruolan saw Nanqi, she touched her nose unconsciously, her eyes narrowed, and she stopped talking.
Nanqi's skills have greatly improved since he came back. Last time, he was tricked by Baili Moqing and was not paying attention, so he was punched by Nanqi and his nose was almost broken.
It’s better not to mess with him now.
After Zhenniang bowed to Shuhe, the third princess and others, she also withdrew.
She could see that the Third Princess looked down on her. So, there was no need for her to be an eyesore here.
After Zhenniang left, Zhuang Ruolan also left.
Baili Ruyun walked over to Shu He and asked in surprise, "Seventh Brother's wife is very familiar with those two?"
Shu He glanced at the two people who left, thought for a moment, and said, "It's okay, but Baili Moqing should be more familiar with them!"
Baili Ruyun pondered this sentence carefully, but could not figure out what it meant.
"Princess, it's getting late. I still have to go to Prince Yong's Mansion to apologize. Please have the servants light these things first. If there is any problem with the imperial gifts, please send someone to find me."
In the end, Baili Ruyun sent Shu He away with mixed feelings.
Looking at the things in the yard, she looked at Shu He for the first time and re-examined this "Princess Li".
It seems that she is not as simple as she seems!
Shu He took the other two carriages to Prince Yong's Mansion.
Except for the set of colorful glass tea sets, the things given to Prince Yong's Mansion are almost the same as those given to the Third Princess' Mansion.
This surprised Prince Yong and his wife so much that they were even a little hesitant to accept those things.
Too expensive!
To borrow Zi Yi's words, how could his "little shabby yard" be worthy of these precious things!
After several refusals, Prince Yong finally accepted it at Shu He's insistence.
After all the gifts were delivered, Nanqi drove the car to take her and Yier back home, but she said that she had somewhere else to go.
"Where else are you going?"
Nanqi was puzzled. Didn't he only owe gifts to these two families? Who else?
The corners of Shu He's mouth curled up, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.
"Everyone else has given gifts, so naturally the Ninth Prince can't be left out!"
After all, he had given her so many "big gifts", wouldn't it be unreasonable not to give him a gift in return?
Nanqi was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"
She wants to give a gift to Lao Jiu?
Does Laojiu have this face?
At this time, a small carriage came from a distance.
In the carriage, Xuan Feng was dressed in black and looked very happy. When he saw Nan Qi, he waved at him excitedly.
