The shop assistant eyed Ye Qingli a little suspiciously.
This young lady's attire did not seem to be particularly extravagant.
Ye Qingli snorted.
"By your own logic, you must have this three hundred thousand taels with you right now? Hah! Such a huge pile of silver, aren’t you lucky that it hasn’t crushed your little body? Who leaves their home with 300,000 taels of silver? Isn’t this a real life example of going soft in the head?"
"Ha ha ha!"
The people around them suddenly burst out laughing.
Guo Fei’er was so angry that the blood rushed to her face. "My father is Lord Guo of the Censorate and I am the daughter of his main wife. I intend to buy this as a gift for the wife of Minister Lin of the Ministry of Works! Just from these two family names, do you think I will be unable to pay these 300,000 taels?"
Just as she said this, a sharp, strict sounding voice was heard saying, “Fei’er, who are you arguing with?”
Along with that voice came a lady with a long, thin face and high cheekbones.
Her clothing was clearly made with high quality red cloth, but the powder on her face was too thick and the contrast with her clothes resulted in an unfortunate pale and wan look.
Guo Feier suddenly put on a humble smile and went up to tuck an arm in hers. She said, "Madame, I don’t know where these destitute charity cases came from. They’re here to stir up trouble."
Madame Lin towered over them, her head held high, “This is the Young Miss of the Ye Family that you spoke of?”
She said dismissively, "The Hall of Wonders is not a place where any just any cat or dog can enter at will. Where is your shop manager? Quick! Have her thrown out!"
Guo Fei’er nodded and said, "Breathing in the same air as this kind of useless person lowers our status. If you don't have her thrown out, then we won’t be coming back here."
Ye Qingli held up a hand to her ear and flapped it exaggeratedly. "Little He, do you hear anything? On such a bright and sunny day like this, everything is so peaceful and calm, how can there be a pack of mad dogs barking? They’re making such a ruckus. How do we live like this!"
All the onlookers were amazed and shocked!
What a valiant young lady this Miss Ye was!
She actually dared to call the Young Miss of a Censorate Official’s family, and a minister’s Main Wife mad dogs!
Guo Fei’er said, “I’ve picked this set of hair accessories as the present I’ll be giving to you, Madame. But in the end, she jumped out to ruin everything. I feel so bad about it!"
Madame Lin harrumphed, "You can tell from one glance that she is an ill-mannered thing. When A’Li arrives, we’ll have him teach her a lesson for you!"
Guo Fei’er was delighted. “Ah, Big Brother Li will help defend me?”
Ye Qingli took note of her reaction and could make an educated guess as to what it all meant. It seemed that this Cousin Gao of hers was planning to marry into the Lin Family, aiming to be the wife of the Young Minister Lin!
It was no wonder she appeared to be fawning over this Madame Lin.
Then, Ye Qingli said mildly, “This piece of jewelry… I am definitely taking it home today.”
She turned her head and called out, "Hey, Shop Manager, I’ve already said that I want this piece of jewelry, why are you taking so long to retrieve it for me?"
For a large business like this one, there would be a shop manager on duty every day. The one present today was a middle-aged lady well decked in glittering finery.
She seemed to have just rushed out and was standing, all smiles, by Madam Lin’s side.
Madam Lin said arrogantly, "Shop Manager Xie, the reason why I came to this Hall of Wonders of yours is because this organization is well regarded and of high class. If you don’t drive this waste of space out today, then in future, we shall be patronizing other businesses. Fengyi City has plenty of other jewelry shops!"
Ye Qingli thought this situation was a little strange.
This was her first time meeting Madame Lin. Why did she seem to to have such a strong dislike for her?
