Chapter 1259: Drugs

Yu Jiao pursed her lips and smiled, and the two continued walking along the long street. They saw a rouge shop and walked in with interest. Cheng Ying followed her and asked the shopkeeper to pack up all the rouge she had seen.

After visiting the rouge shop, Yu Jiao went to the jewelry shop. Seeing that Yu Jiao was so relaxed, Cheng Ying smiled, took off the purse from her waist and threw it to the shopkeeper without hesitation, and asked the clerk to deliver the jewelry that Yu Jiao liked to the carriage.

Then Yu Jiao went to the clothing store. The female shopkeeper saw that the two of them looked very noble, so she asked the clerk to go to the embroidery room to get the newly made skirts. She said with a smile: "This Shu brocade is woven with Huanhua cotton. The thread is soft and the pattern is thin. It is soft and warm next to the skin. It is most suitable for girls."

"I don't know if it fits, I want to try it on." Yu Jiao said.

The female shopkeeper smiled and said, "Madam, you have a very slim figure. I can tell at a glance that it will fit you. If you want to try it on, that's fine. We often have female customers resting and changing clothes in the back room of our shop. It's very convenient."

Yu Jiao turned around and looked at Cheng Ying: "Brother, I'm going to try on some clothes."

Cheng Ying nodded and watched her follow the female shopkeeper into the inner room.

After the door was closed, Yu Jiao took the skirt from the female shopkeeper and whispered, "Shopkeeper, please do me a favor."

The female shopkeeper looked at her in confusion. Yu Jiao placed a golden hairpin in her palm and said, "Please find a clerk to go to You'an Hall on the same street to buy some medicine for me."

The female shopkeeper weighed the golden hairpin in her palm, did not refuse, and asked, "What medicine do you want to buy, Madam?"

"It's a drug." Yu Jiao said calmly, "It's very strong, don't alarm others."

The female shopkeeper rolled her eyes and naturally understood the meaning of her words, but she hesitated and did not agree.

Although she loves money, the man who came into the store with the female customer has a handsome and gloomy appearance, and a noble demeanor. He looks like he is not an ordinary person. The female customer avoided the man and asked her to buy drugs... If this matter is exposed, she might get into trouble.

Seeing the hesitation of the female shopkeeper, Yu Jiao held her hand, with a trace of sadness on her face: "It is not easy for a woman to live in the backyard. You have also seen that my husband is handsome and has a very good family background. It is very difficult for me to go out of the house on weekdays. I am only helping you to protect myself in the backyard." She held the female shopkeeper's hand, "For the sake of being a woman, please."

Seeing her sincere eyes, the shopkeeper softened her heart for a moment, and felt a little more sympathy for her as a woman. She agreed, "I'll ask someone to buy it right away. You wait."

After the female shopkeeper agreed, Yu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief. She changed into her skirt and shawl, and waited until the female shopkeeper came back to say that she had arranged for someone to buy it before she left the house and went to the shop in front.

"Do they look good?" Fearing that the female shopkeeper would become suspicious, Yu Jiao did not dare to change her senior brother. She just walked up to Cheng Ying wearing the clothes and showed them to him. Then she went to the counter and picked out a few ready-made clothes. She asked the female shopkeeper to send them all to the inner room, saying that she wanted to try them on one by one.

Cheng Ying was very patient. She stood quietly by and watched Yu Jiao choose. Her narrow eyes were full of tenderness.

Yu Jiao waited in the inner room for a while until the female shopkeeper brought the drugs that she had quietly asked the clerk to buy. Only then did she feel at ease. She hid the drugs close to her body and said to the female shopkeeper, "Excuse me, I'll pack up all these clothes."

When leaving the inner room, Yu Jiao bumped into a girl who was walking hurriedly. The female shopkeeper beside her scolded her, "Why are you so careless?" Then she said to Yu Jiao, "This is the embroiderer in our shop. She must be in a hurry to use the toilet. Madam, please don't be offended."

Yu Jiao said, "It's okay."

The embroiderer stared at Yu Jiao in amazement and asked in surprise, "Miss Yu?"

Yu Jiao looked at her when she heard the voice, and felt that her face was quite familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Ms. Yu, I'm Dai Bi." The embroiderer became more and more excited.
