Chapter 1998: Chapter 1998: Loyal Guard Dog (6)
The second floor being closed to the public means that those without status cannot go up.The shop assistant left some leeway in their words.
If Zhen Rou were someone of status, she wouldn’t want to offend her.
Zhen Rou: "..."
What kind of status does she have?
Zhen Rou took a deep breath: "Is the Third Princess Consort upstairs?"
Shop assistant: "Yes, do you know the Third Princess Consort?"
The Third Princess Consort arrived with great fanfare, and many people downstairs saw it, so the shop assistant didn’t hide it.
"I know her, please tell the Third Princess Consort that I am Zhen Rou."
"Alright, please wait a moment."
The conversation between the two caught the attention of some people, and their gazes fell on Zhen Rou.
"Who is she?"
"Never seen her before..."
Zhen Rou refused to believe that Chuzheng would really dare to undermine her in public.
Zhen Rou evaluated using past standards, but she forgot that the person had changed from before.
So...
The shop assistant quickly returned: "Sorry, the Third Princess Consort says she doesn’t know you..." and asked me to throw you out.
They are in business, and would of course not offend customers unless necessary. Chuzheng said it very casually, not as an order, so the shop assistant left out the latter part.
Zhen Rou: "..."
"Pfft..."
Someone behind her burst into laughter.
Following that, Zhen Rou felt the gazes upon her became unbearable.
Dare Zhen Rou make a fuss?
She dared not.
She was the one without rank, and these people didn’t know her.
Being praised often in the mansion, Zhen Rou just now understood the power of a title.

Chuzheng sat in a compartment on the second floor, sipping tea while picking out jade items.
Ying Xiang beside her was on edge, afraid that Chuzheng would break something.
She felt the lady was holding not jade but stones.
"Miss, be gentle, be gentle..." Ying Xiang kept reminding Chuzheng.
"It’s not that fragile."
The servers nearby were also tense, hearing this couldn’t help but softly say, "Princess Consort, jade is rather fragile..."
Chuzheng: "..."
If it breaks, I’ll pay for it, why be so tense.
Chuzheng picked out her items: "These will do."
"Miss!" Ying Xiang glanced at the person opposite, lowered her voice: "Miss, we don’t have that much money."
She thought Chuzheng was coming out just to browse casually, not to buy much.
Who knew she would head straight to Cuiyu Tower and buy so many things!
