Chapter 658 - 273 Bai Yi gets punished
Bai Yi and Xiang Wei both sighed with relief upon seeing Mingzhu recover so quickly; her condition was several times better than either of them had anticipated. The duo also realized that this was all thanks to Yueyao, who had often filled Mingzhu’s ears with complaints about Ning Lixuan being no good. Otherwise, Mingzhu could never have recovered so swiftly.
With this issue taken care of, Yueyao herself felt completely at ease. As long as Mingzhu didn’t marry Ning Lixuan, her future was sure to go smoothly.
Yueyao’s confidence wasn’t unfounded. As long as Princely Heir Luo Shao truly cherished Mingzhu, having learned from this setback, he surely wouldn’t act so hastily next time. By then, he would definitely choose a good husband for Mingzhu. Of course, Yueyao would also provide her own suggestions by the side. With careful consideration, they would certainly find someone far better than the hypocrite Ning Lixuan.
Mingzhu said, "The day is still young! Let’s go shopping again!" Naturally, since they were out, they might as well enjoy a thorough spree.
Yueyao nodded her head, figuring that for Mingzhu’s sake, she would willingly accompany her, even at the cost of her life.
The shopkeepers sent their goods to Marquis Jingning’s Residence, then took their tokens to the accounting room to settle the accounts. The accounting room confirmed the transactions with the tokens and paid the dues without any hesitation.
Ban Yu whispered to Madam Ping, "Madam, the young mistress has already bought 26,000 taels worth of goods." Usually, the most she’d spend on her outings was around 10,000 taels; this time, it was indeed a bit excessive.
Madam Ping chuckled, "Opportunities like this don’t come often." Since all of Mingzhu’s purchases were accounted for in the outer court and had nothing to do with her, Madam Ping wasn’t particularly heartbroken; after all, no silver came out of her own pocket.
They continued shopping until the sun was about to set, and only after Yueyao’s persuasion did Mingzhu finally stop. According to Yueyao’s estimate, Mingzhu had spent no less than 30,000 to 40,000 taels this time.
Yueyao gave Mingzhu three words: "Spendthrift girl!"
