Zhao Qingyan reached into her crossbody bag, but actually took out banknotes from her storage space.

He had just pulled out a handful of coins and was counting them.

Rong Qiushuang's ambiguous voice rang out, which was quite abrupt.

Zhao Qingyan focused her attention on the silver notes; she couldn't afford to make a mistake, because even one wrong note would cost a hundred taels of silver.

Zhao Qingyan's silver notes were mostly in denominations of one hundred taels each; she felt that using larger denominations wasn't as satisfying as using smaller ones.

It's like counting money, so satisfying!

Zhao Qingyan was busy, but Zhao Qinglin and Zhao Qinghe, who were sitting at the counter, weren't busy at all.

Hearing the discordant sound, the two turned their heads at the same time.

Zhao Qinglin's icy gaze swept over Rong Qiushuang, making her shiver.

It was terrifying. Rong Qiushuang felt that Zhao Qinglin's glance was filled with murderous intent.

Zhao Qinghe's expression was strange; she looked at Rong Qiushuang and actually smiled.

But that smile looked a little creepy.

Zhao Qinglin's gaze swept quickly over Rong Qiushuang and her group, devoid of any warmth, as if they weren't human.

Prince Rui felt a chill run down his spine after being glanced at by the two young girls, Zhao Qinglin and Zhao Qinghe.

He never knew that the little girl could have such a strong murderous aura.

However, his good manners and the composure he had cultivated over the years meant that he did not show any impropriety on the surface.

"Qiushuang, please don't be rude. If you've made your selection, please pay the bill. I'll have the shopkeeper give you a 10% discount."

Rong Qiushuang looked incredulous upon hearing this.

"Cousin, shouldn't you say that the jewelry I picked out today is free?"

Prince Rui was quite something.

"On what grounds? Just because you spouted nonsense in my jewelry store? Or because you're a bit overweight?"

Alright, I don't have time to waste here with you, so I'm leaving now.

Without anyone tugging at his sleeve, Prince Rui strode downstairs.

As I walked away, I couldn't help but glance in the direction of the three Zhao sisters.

Zhao Qinglin was watching her younger sister count the silver notes with a smile on her face.

Prince Rui hurried downstairs, but once downstairs, he suddenly didn't know where to go.

Should I go back to the mansion to continue tinkering with those weapons, or go to the teahouse to listen to storytelling?

Instead of taking a carriage, I planned to wander around. The carriage and guards followed silently behind.

After paying the bill, Zhao Qingyan looked at the necklace again and decided to give it up.

Ten thousand taels of silver is no small sum. It would be worth a considerable amount in modern currency.

Let's use it to do something more worthwhile.

He gave Liu An his address and asked him to deliver the jewelry to his home.

However, before leaving, she asked for a packing list to avoid any mistakes upon receiving the goods.

After the sisters went out, they ordered tents and umbrellas.

Then she took the two sisters to the boutique shop at Huicui Pavilion.

Regarding shoes, we provided six pairs for everyone in the family, big and small: waterproof rain boots, winter cotton boots, spring and autumn leather boots, and cloth shoes with rubber soles.

The reason why rubber can be used is thanks to Zhao Han finding the rubber plantation.

Time is limited, and I've brought too much stuff with me. I can't let shoes take up all the space.

Spending money is also a physically demanding task.

The three sisters' extravagant spending spree as they walked and bought things quickly attracted the attention of many ill-intentioned people.

There were just three frail little girls, who looked like they were about to be blown away by the wind.

They had no guards with them and were carrying so much money, who else would they rob if not them?

Being even a quarter of an hour late is considered disrespectful to the money.

Of course, the target of the robbery was the crossbody bag on Zhao Qingyan's body.

Those watching her saw it clearly: it was Zhao Qingyan who was always the one taking out the money.

The banknotes or silver were all taken out from that small satchel.

The three sisters had just come out of a grocery store when they were blocked by more than a dozen men.

"Young lady, we'll rob you of your money, not your virtue. Give me your purse and I'll let you go."

"And the purses on you two young ladies, you can leave them for your brothers as well."

The three sisters, Zhao Qingyan pointed to her own nose,

"Are you sure you want to rob the three of us sisters?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhao Qingyan looked at Zhao Qinglin and Zhao Qinghe.

"How about we test our skills?"

Zhao Qinglin hadn't fought anyone in a long time, so she naturally nodded in agreement upon hearing her third sister's suggestion.

"Let's give it a try, but don't try to take it from me, you two."

Zhao Qingyan nodded, and Zhao Qinghe smiled.

"Don't worry, sis, I won't compete with you. You know I'd take down a whole bunch of people if I made a move, it'd be too boring."

Zhao Qinglin felt a little hurt, "I know you're amazing."

As he spoke, he took a step forward.

"I'll give you one more chance. If you don't move aside, don't blame me for being impolite."

The men who were blocking the way laughed heartily.

"Oh ho ho, no young lady has ever dared to talk to her brothers like this before."

"What do you mean by 'you're too kind'? Do you mean throwing yourself into my arms or giving my brothers a shoulder massage?"

After he finished speaking, the men burst into laughter.

Street stalls and shops alike, seeing this, all backed away.

Zhao Qingyan and Zhao Qinghe quickly dodged to the side of the road, afraid of getting splattered with blood.

In the instant Zhao Qingyan and Zhao Qinghe dodged,

Zhao Qinglin drew a whip from her waist and with one lash, sent five or six people blocking her way flying.

He turned around and lashed out at the people behind him, sending six or seven more flying.

All of this happened in an instant, leaving the few men who weren't drawn dumbfounded.

Before they could figure out what had happened, their companions were sent flying, followed by rolling around and howling in pain.

This terrified several people.

My legs were trembling, and I wanted to rush forward, but my legs wouldn't move.

Zhao Qinglin took the white handkerchief and wiped the whip from the handle to the tip.

"Do you guys want to come at me all at once?"

"Are you still going to rob us or not? If you're going to do it, then do it quickly. If not, then get your brothers out of here."

Zhao Qinglin's words were understood by the standing men.

"No, we won't dare. Let's get out of here, let's get out of here."

Then, shaking his leg, he grabbed his brother's leg and dragged him to the side of the road.

The road ahead was clear, and the three sisters walked forward.

After walking a few steps, Zhao Qinglin suddenly stopped, pulled off her purse, which contained more than ten taels of silver.

He tossed it directly to the man who had just spoken to him.

"Take this to treat your brothers' injuries. Don't do such heinous things again in the future."

Zhao Qingyan never expected that Zhao Qinglin would actually give these people money.

Zhao Qinghe directly expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Second sister, why are you giving them money? Isn't it right that they got beaten up? Who told them to do something wrong?"

Zhao Qinglin laughed and said, "I don't know if they are repeat offenders."

I know very well how heavy my whip strike was.

If they have money for treatment, that's fine; if they don't, they'll surely suffer greatly.

Even a fever can turn a person into an idiot.

I'm not an official; I have no right to punish them. Besides, this is right here in the heart of the capital, not some desolate wilderness.
