Chapter 1345: How long has it been?
Hearing her eldest sister say this, Lin Wei became even more worried. Xiao Linzi was also locked up? How is he doing now? Has he gotten anything to eat, has he been beaten?
Seeing Lin Wei’s worried expression, Lin Yuan sighed softly in her heart. It seemed that Lady Jiang’s earlier guess was not unfounded; Lin Wei and Xiao Linzi must have developed some feelings for each other.
"Don’t worry, Xiao Linzi is very smart, and he’s a child with great resilience. He will be alright."
After a few words of comfort to Lin Wei, Lin Yuan glanced at Lady Jiang and Chen Leyao, who dared not look their way, and shouted loudly to Madam Xu, who was staring in astonishment at the sudden influx of women: "Madam Xu, I would like one thousand taels of silver worth of fabric, only the best emerald brocade from your Wu Clothing Shop!"
Madam Xu blinked in slight surprise, then smiled even brighter than the flowers, waving her handkerchief and loudly responding, "Alright!" Meanwhile, the powder on her face flaked off in layers, revealing the lined visage beneath.
One thousand taels of silver, that was more than a month’s revenue! No wonder Madam Xu was so delighted.
On the other side, Lady Jiang and Shopkeeper Qin’s jaws nearly dropped. Shopkeeper Qin had previously met Lin Yuan and the others a few times and hoped to persuade Lin Yuan to change her purchase to their Chen Ji’s fabric out of the goodwill from those encounters.
But this time, Lin Yuan was unprecedentedly cold to him, leaving Shopkeeper Qin utterly confused.
Lady Jiang, of course, knew the reason. There was both Lin Wei’s sake and Xiao Linzi’s.
"Madam, Miss, please come inside the shop for some tea and rest your feet. I’ll have someone prepare the fabric for you right away!" Madam Xu personally greeted them and invited Lady Liu, Lin Yuan, and the others into the Wu Cloth Shop.
Xiao Linshuang and Xiao He both tilted their chins up and rolled their eyes fiercely at Lady Jiang, strutting proudly into the entrance of Wu Ji like a rooster surveying its hens.
