Time Travel: The Noble Family

Yueyao selected eight pieces of jewelry and said to Mingzhu, "I like all of these." This meant she was taking them all for herself.

Mingzhu was indifferent, but she frowned upon seeing the shopkeeper’s strange expression, "What’s the matter, can’t bear to part with them?"

Since the shopkeeper had already spoken, he obviously couldn’t say he was reluctant, and he chuckled, "Not at all, I just think that this young lady has really good taste." In truth, the shopkeeper found Yueyao’s behavior somewhat odd. She was willing to pay for the jewelry worth several thousand Silver herself, yet she proactively asked for these items worth a few dozen Silver. It was the first time he had met someone like this.

After making their purchases, the group descended the stairs and indeed saw the sign about the gift giveaway. Mingzhu expressed her displeasure to the shopkeeper trailing behind, "You’re really pushing it. If my sister hadn’t spoken up, were you not planning to give us anything at all?" Mingzhu didn’t care about the ten or twenty Silver, she just felt the shopkeeper was taking advantage of them.

Sweating profusely, the shopkeeper said, "My lady, there’s no such thing, it’s just the young servant was a bit slow. Next time we will definitely improve." After which, the shopkeeper immediately gestured to the young servant beside him with his eyes, as such an important customer could not be offended.

Mingzhu didn’t believe him and got into the carriage, still visibly upset. The shopkeeper quickly took two exquisite gift boxes from the young servant and offered them, "Ladies, this oversight was our fault. Please do not take it to heart. Just a small token, it’s hardly a proper sign of respect."

Xiang Wei took the gifts, and Yueyao said, "We’ll let it slide this time, but be more careful in the future; it can’t be like today again."

The shopkeeper quickly bowed and apologized, "Yes, yes, it will not happen again." He actually felt wronged; how could he have known that Mingzhu would want those small gifts? Hmm, to be precise, that Yueyao would want those small items, but this was indeed his oversight, as there was a promotion going on, and whether or not the customers wanted it was their choice.

Mingzhu snorted coldly, "Better remember that." With that, she had Zhi Qin lower the bead curtain.

By coincidence, Ning Lixuan and Guan Jingshuo were passing by just then. Ning Lixuan saw the shopkeeper nodding and bowing to Mingzhu with disgust in his eyes, "You say you’ve improved, but where’s the improvement? You’ve become even more troublesome."

Guan Jingshuo caught the look in Ning Lixuan’s eyes and said with a smile, "Cousin, do you know this lady?" Even though Guan Jingshuo knew that was Luo Mingzhu.

Ning Lixuan immediately composed himself and coldly said, "Yes, that’s a lady of Marquis Jingning’s Residence."
