"How could you use such foul language?" Zhou Rubao stared at Bai Tuantuan in shock. Seeing her nonchalant attitude, he immediately said with disdain, "As expected of a country bumpkin, your mouth is full of filth, you're not fit for polite society!"

"Yes, yes, yes, your words are elegant, you are worthy of high society, but Miss Zhou, even so, you cannot represent Jade Pavilion!" Bai Tuantuan really did not expect that Zhou Rubao would be so annoying!

"How dare you! I'll make sure you don't get into the Jade Pavilion today!" Zhou Rubao flicked her long sleeves, glanced around, took a deep breath, and asked the waiter beside her, "Where is your master?"

The waiter, still smiling, bowed to Zhou Rubao: "Miss Zhou, our master said that once you enter the Jade Pavilion, there are no distinctions of rank; it's cash on delivery."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Rubao's face flushed red instantly, and she said angrily, "I order you to throw them out!"

Zhou Rubao pointed directly at He Lin and Bai Tuantuan.

He Lin was furious, but her family repeatedly warned her not to argue with Zhou Rubao.

After all, Zhou Rubao was the governor's legitimate daughter, while their family was just a merchant family. They were no match for the governor.

"Forget it, Tuantuan, let's go." He Lin whispered, trying to comfort her. "We have no power or influence, we can't fight her."

"But why?" Bai Tuantuan felt extremely uncomfortable. Just because they were ordinary people, did they have to give way to the arrogance of the powerful and wealthy?

Bai Tuantuan's hands, hanging by her sides, were clenched into fists. She was more than five years old, and she understood the same principles as He Lin.

In order not to cause trouble for her family, she had no choice but to endure it.

Bai Tuantuan took a deep breath and smiled, "It seems Miss Zhou is planning to buy everything in Jade Pavilion. Then I won't compete with Miss Zhou. Please, Miss Zhou."

We can leave, but we must still dig the pit!

Zhou Rubao frowned: "Who said we were going to buy them all?"

“The people at Jade Pavilion said that it’s cash on delivery, and there’s no reason for them to kick us out. If you kick us out, aren’t you just taking Jade Pavilion’s things for your own private use? Aren’t you trying to buy everything in Jade Pavilion?”

"Oh, I see. Let's go then."

"As expected of the governor's daughter, she's so generous!"

"Yes, we've seen the world today, so we won't stay any longer."

The surrounding people started talking about it, and the noise was so loud that Zhou Rubao's face turned red.

Clearly, these ordinary people were also dissatisfied with Zhou Rubao.

"Waiter, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and calculate the money!" He Lin said quickly with a smile in her eyes, "Didn't you hear Miss Zhou want to buy the things?"

The waiter looked at Zhou Rubao and hesitated, "Miss Zhou, do you have that much silver?"

"How dare you!" shouted the maid beside Zhou Rubao. "Our young lady is the legitimate daughter of the governor; how could she possibly shortchange you?"

Bai Tuantuan and He Lin exchanged a glance, both seeing a smile in each other's eyes.

After the maid finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Rubao with a smug expression, clearly waiting for Zhou Rubao's praise.

However, Zhou Rubao glared at her fiercely, cursing inwardly at the girl who couldn't read the room.

In a regular shop, buying everything wouldn't be difficult, but this is Jade Pavilion!

The Jade Pavilion also exists in the capital, and the items inside are worth a fortune. She barely has enough silver to buy two things. Is this girl trying to kill her?

The waiter chuckled, "So Miss Zhou wants to buy everything! Alright, I'll calculate the price for you right away!"

"Wait!" Zhou Rubao spat out two words through gritted teeth, "Let them leave first!"

Zhou Rubao had a very good plan; even if it was embarrassing, he couldn't let Bai Tuantuan and He Lin see it!

“We’ve never seen so much silver before. We’re just ordinary people who want to broaden our horizons,” Bai Tuantuan said quickly. “Miss Zhou wouldn’t object, would she?”

“Miss Zhou is the most magnanimous person, how could she be unwilling?” He Lin quickly interjected, “Tuantuan, this is your fault. You should apologize to Miss Zhou. She will definitely be happy to let us see the truth.”

Bai Tuantuan nodded: "Lin'er, you're right. Miss Zhou, I'm sorry, I was narrow-minded."

Their back-and-forth banter placed Zhou Rubao in the highest position.

“Miss Zhou, I have already calculated the price of the items on the first floor. Since you bought a lot, after the discount, the total price is 158,000 taels.”

Everyone gasped – a staggering 150,000!

Zhou Rubao's expression improved somewhat: "I'll bring the money over later."

The waiter was taken aback and quickly shook his head: "Miss Zhou, it's not silver, it's gold."

"What?" Even Zhou Rubao screamed. He was about to question it, but everything in the Jade Pavilion was clearly priced. Looking at the prices below, he roughly calculated that it was indeed this much gold!

Zhou Rubao's face turned deathly pale. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

"Tsk, what good stuff has arrived at the Jade Pavilion?" A lazy voice came over. Bai Tuantuan looked over and saw Ning Nanxiao, dressed in a brocade white robe, slowly walking over. His eyes were filled with a distant light, and his brows were full of indifference.

However, the faint smile on his lips softened his coldness and added a touch of languor.

The moment Zhou Rubao saw Ning Nanxiao, her eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward and curtsied to him: "Ning..."

"So you're the governor's eldest daughter. It seems you do have something good. May I take a look?" Ning Nanxiao interrupted Zhou Rubao calmly.

Zhou Rubao instantly understood, but upon hearing Ning Nanxiao's words, he was momentarily at a loss.

"Miss Zhou wants to buy everything in Jade Pavilion, and we're waiting for her to give us the gold!" Bai Tuantuan said with a smile. "Ning Nanxiao, are you here to buy things? I'm afraid you won't be able to buy anything."

Ning Nanxiao looked at Zhou Rubao in surprise: "Although Lord Zhou is the governor, his salary is only one hundred taels of silver a month. How could he buy everything in the Jade Pavilion? Tsk tsk, it's really an eye-opener! It seems I have to write to my uncle and let him see this too."

"Young Master Ning, I...I didn't..." Zhou Rubao hurriedly cried out, then glared fiercely at Bai Tuantuan and He Lin, "They're talking nonsense!"

Bai Tuantuan shrugged and sighed, "So Miss Zhou doesn't have any money! I was so happy for nothing."

A nameless anger surged within Zhou Rubao: "I certainly can't buy everything in Jade Pavilion, but I can at least buy a few items. What about you? You can only look! Can you even afford them?"

Such a contemptuous and disdainful tone made the smile on Ning Nanxiao's face and lips disappear.

He Lin was also furious: "Why can't Tuan Tuan buy it? My money is Tuan Tuan's money! I'll buy it for Tuan Tuan!"

"Heh, you think you can afford it?" Zhou Rubao casually picked up the hairpin. "Tell me, the hairpin you've got your eye on costs at least five hundred taels of silver. Can you afford it?"

He Lin's face flushed red instantly.

They stood there helplessly.

Zhou Rubao became smug. Did these two people dare to fight him?

"Tuantuan! What are you looking at on the first floor?" Nan Nian walked down the stairs, fanning herself with a round fan, a faint smile on her face. "Your second aunt has bought everything in the Jade Pavilion on the second floor. Come on, your eldest aunt will take you to see it."

The smile on Zhou Rubao's face disappeared.

Second floor?

Everyone knows that the second floor of the Jade Pavilion is full of priceless treasures!

She possessed something that would make any noblewoman in the capital envious, and she actually said she bought the entire second floor!

Zhou Rubao scoffed, "Trying to appear richer than you are not the way to do it. The things on the second floor are no ordinary items. Can you afford them?"

"Madam, all items on the second floor have been inventoried. This is your transaction list."

Zhou Rubao's hand holding the handkerchief tightened suddenly.

Nan Nian took the shopkeeper's transaction slip and handed it to Zhou Rubao: "Want to take a look? See if I'm just putting on a show?"
