388 Take Them Away
No, no, no. He had hidden himself so well. How could they have investigated him?
Besides, he had not done this personally. Even if Ning Yue wanted to investigate, she would not be able to trace it to him.
At the thought of this, Lian Xin smiled. “Since Princess Mingyue is so confident, I won’t say anything else. If this shop has any jewelry you like, please accept it as a greeting gift from me.”
Ning Yue’s eyes lit up. Very good. This was what she liked to hear best.
“But I like more than one thing. What should I do?” Ning Yue asked.
Xin Xin couldn’t figure it out. Didn’t Ning Yue hate Lian Xin? Why would she accept Lian Xin’s gift?
“You can wrap anything you like. I’ll instruct the shopkeeper. Don’t worry and choose,” Lian Xin said.
After saying this, he turned around and said a few words to the shopkeeper before leaving.
At first, Ning Yue did not move. She watched as Lian Xin walked away before smiling.
She chuckled and pulled Xin Xin to the cabinet. “Shopkeeper, I like this cabinet and that cabinet very much. Wrap them up.”
There were only five cabinets in the entire shop. Ning Yue eyed two of them, and the things in these two cabinets were the most expensive.
The shopkeeper’s face successfully changed. He asked Ning Yue tentatively, “Are you Princess Mingyue?”
“That’s right. I’m Princess Mingyue. Shopkeeper, what’s the matter?” Ning Yue said with a smile.
“You’ve seen more gold, silver, and treasures than in our shop. The prices are also much more expensive. Can these ornaments in the shop really catch your eye?” the shopkeeper asked Ning Yue.
“Of course. I like innovative styles like yours. For example, this four-leaf clover. I’ve never seen it on those gold and silver treasures.”
“These are all very novel. I’ve never seen them before. I like them very much.” Ning Yue smiled at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper could barely maintain the smile on his face. He took a deep breath. His master had just instructed him that no matter what these two chose, he had to wrap it up properly and give it to them.
“Alright, I’ll go pack it now,” the shopkeeper said.
As soon as the shopkeeper finished packing the jewelry in these two cabinets, Ning Yue pointed at the other two cabinets and said, “My mother-in-law said that she likes the things in those two cabinets. Wrap up the jewelry inside.”
Hearing Ning Yue’s words, the shopkeeper was stunned. “Didn’t you say that you liked these two cabinets?”
“The jewelry you’re packing now is what I like. These two cabinets are what my mother-in-law likes. Shopkeeper, are you unwilling to give them to me?” Ning Yue asked.
The shopkeeper was about to die of anger. Ning Yue had chosen four of the five cabinets. The one she hadn’t chosen was filled with small things. The styles inside were more old-fashioned and there weren’t many items.
At the thought of this, the shopkeeper couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Princess Mingyue really knew how to choose!
Alright, he was just a shopkeeper. The boss had already said to wrap up everything they liked. What else could he say?
After the shopkeeper packed the things, Ning Yue smiled and asked a few guards to come in and take them away. Then, she and Xin Xin left happily.
Before leaving, Ning Yue actually handed an ingot of silver to the shopkeeper. “Shopkeeper, you helped us pack so much. It’s been hard on you. I didn’t bring anything with me. I’ll give you ten taels of silver to drink some tea.”
Faced with Ning Yue’s money, the shopkeeper wanted to refuse.
Ning Yue said, “I’m not a petty and greedy person. I’ve obtained so many things from you. It’s only right for me to reward you.”
Hearing Ning Yue’s words, the shopkeeper almost fainted from anger.
Ning Yue had emptied their shop, but she actually said that she was not a greedy person?
When Lian Xin returned and saw that the shop was almost empty, he was dumbfounded.
“Who allowed them to take so many items?” Lian Xin asked through gritted teeth.
“It’s you, Master,” the shopkeeper replied, a little embarrassed.
Lian Xin stopped breathing and almost fainted too.
He was just being polite. Besides, even if they really liked the entire shop, who wouldn’t be polite and only pick one or two?
