Qin Zhenzhen’s expression changed. Guang Pingwang’s military power?
Then wouldn’t Su Qiao’s husband have the same status as Guang Pingwang in the future.
In the capital, it was okay to not know about the Emperor, but Guang Pingwang’s deeds had spread all over the streets and alleys.
Qin Zhenzhen took a step forward and held Su Qiao’s arm tightly. “Sister, these words would hurt brother-in-law’s heart. Didn’t brother-in-law work so hard to ensure sister has a good future?”
A smile appeared on Su Qiao’s face as she patted Qin Zhenzhen’s hand.
She felt comfortable listening to these words.
Qin Zhenzhen worked even harder to please Su Qiao. She wanted to suck up to Su Qiao, so that when Su Qiao became a Princess Consort in the future, perhaps she could also benefit from her association with Su Qiao.
Su Qiao brought Qin Zhenzhen into the Treasure Pavilion in large strides.
The Treasure Pavilion was divided into three floors, and the prices were arranged from low to high.
The first floor had the lowest prices, and the third floor had the highest.
The first floor was a hall, and there were many people. All kinds of jewelry were placed in the cabinets for people to choose from.
The second floor consisted of separate cubicles, and there were service staff providing specialized services.
The third floor consisted of private rooms, where custom-made jewelry were ordered.
Although they were all jewelry produced by the Treasure Pavilion, the first floor and the second floor were worlds apart. The third floor basically only served the royal nobles, and any piece of jewelry from the third floor could buy all the jewelry in the hall on the first floor.
Su Qiao walked into the door and said arrogantly to Qin Zhenzhen, “I’ll take you to the second floor.”
Qin Zhenzhen’s face lit up. Although her family had some money, her parents did not give her much money. After all, she was a daughter who was going to be married off.
Usually, she could only stroll around the first floor. Perhaps this time, when she went to the second floor, Su Qiao would gift her a piece of jewelry.
With this thought in mind, Qin Zhenzhen’s eyes were bright when she looked at Su Qiao.
Su Qiao and Qin Zhenzhen had just reached the second floor when they were stopped by someone.
A woman in working clothes bowed politely and said, “Dear guests, I’m sorry. The cubicles on the second floor are full. Please wait for a moment or go to the hall on the first floor to take a look for the time being.”
Su Qiao did not say anything. Qin Zhenzhen spoke quickly, afraid that the benefits that had entered her mouth would fly away.
“What do you mean? Can’t you see who this is? Can those trash goods on the first floor enter our eyes?”
The service staff bowed in fear and apologized, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that your identity was honorable. I’ve offended you.”
Su Qiao was about to stop Qin Zhenzhen, but she stopped.
Looking at the other party apologizing to her in fear and trepidation, a sense of superiority rose in her heart.
Su Qiao put on airs and said, “Forget it. I don’t blame you for not knowing, but you have to keep your eyes open in the future. If you meet someone who is not easy to please next time, you will be in big trouble.”
Qin Zhenzhen echoed from the side, “It’s just that sister Su Qiao has a good heart. Otherwise, you will be in big trouble.”
After saying these words, Su Qiao reached out her hand.
Qin Zhenzhen understood and quickly took it.
The service staff kept apologizing and said hesitantly, “I wonder which Family My Lady is from. Would you like to go to the third floor to take a look?”
Qin Zhenzhen said, “Since there are seats on the third floor, hurry up and arrange it.”
It was too late for Su Qiao to stop her.
The service staff’s attitude changed to be even more careful and said, “My Lady, you will need to pay 3,000 taels of silver before you can go up to the third floor.”
3,000 taels of silver?
Su Qiao and Qin Zhenzhen were both shocked by this number.
Qin Zhenzhen shouted, “We haven’t bought anything yet. Why do we have to pay?”
The service staff was taken aback and asked, “Haven’t you been to the third floor before?”
Seeing that they were indeed confused, she explained, “If My Lady buys any jewelry on the third floor, thee 3,000 taels of silver will be directly included in the bill. If My Lady doesn’t buy anything, the 3,000 taels of silver will be charged as the room fee.”
“What? Isn’t this robbing money?” Qin Zhenzhen cried out in surprise.
