Chapter 1351 - 191, Adding Fuel to the Flames (One More Update)_3
What?!
Not just his jaw, this time Butler Zhou nearly popped his eyeballs out.
Before he could even react, Lin Yuan tossed out another bombshell that nearly scared people to death, "Go to the storeroom and get another one thousand taels of silver, go to Wu Ji and buy another one thousand taels worth of jade brocade for me. I find this jade brocade quite nice, especially suitable for wearing in summer; no wonder they won it at this year’s Royal Merchant Association."
Another thousand taels, another thousand taels! This pile of brocade could more than suffice for outfits for the entire household, why purchase more?
Lin Yuan’s lips curved into a delighted smile; indeed, she initially harbored the intent of giving the Chen family a sight for sore eyes. However, upon seeing the jade brocade, Lin Yuan’s interest piqued, and she felt a bit more genuine. After all, she was going to return to Zhuma Town in a few days; she couldn’t possibly go back empty-handed, right? The jade brocade from the Imperial Merchant Wu Family was just the perfect gift.
"Don’t forget, I need it in half a month!"
The previous thousand taels worth of jade brocade had nearly depleted Wu Ji’s stock, and Lin Yuan knew another thousand would surely mean overtime work for the Wu Family. Fortunately, she had half a month before returning to Zhuma Town, so there was ample time.
Butler Zhou, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, skittered to the storeroom to fetch the silver. He couldn’t stick around in front of Lin Yuan any longer; who knew if the next moment she would have him purchase ten thousand taels worth of fabric?
There wouldn’t be enough silver in the storeroom to afford such splurging!
The incident that happened at the Chen Ji’s door eventually began spreading, albeit on a small scale, within the Capital city. However, what spread the most wasn’t the peachy news about Lin Wei and Xiao Linzi, but the tale of the legitimate mother harshly treating the Concubine’s Son and even cruelly casting him out of the house to wander homeless.
They say when three people repeat something, it becomes accepted as truth. After several days, the rumors grew more intense and even distorted from their original shape.
