"You can't tell the truth yet!"

"Since you think I ordered too many dishes, then waiter, you can charge the dishes I just ordered to myself so that the Third Prince won't have to spend money."

"My father just compensated me for the monthly salary my aunt withheld from me over the years, so I still have enough money for a meal."

Other people may not tell others about such embarrassing things, after all, it is not a good thing.

But Xu Jinyi is different. It is the Marquis's Mansion that is losing face, not her own.

Why not give her selfish father some trouble?

After hearing Xu Jinyi's words, everyone looked at her with sympathy.

"No need. It's rare to meet a woman as genuine as Miss Xu." The third prince smiled as warmly as jade.

But I don’t know what kind of face is underneath this smile.

The woman who had just spoken to Xu Jinyi watched the interaction between the two, and the handkerchief she was holding under the table was about to be crushed.

She is the daughter-in-law favored by the Imperial Concubine, the daughter of the general who guards the country, Lin Shuyao.

She is also a famous talented woman in the capital.

However, it was Xu Jiner who sat on the throne of queen in the previous life. I'm afraid that Lin Shuyao cannot defeat Xu Jiner.

The dishes were served one by one, and Xu Jinyi ate them bite by bite, not caring at all about how others looked at her.

Qiuhua, who was standing aside with other maids and servants, was also stunned when she saw her young lady eating mouthful after mouthful.

She never knew her young lady was such a big eater.

In the past, they lived a very difficult life in the village, and the food was just passable.

The little monthly allowance given by Aunt Wang was not enough for them to eat meat every meal.

Most of the time, Aunt Xu would take her own jewelry to the pawnshop to exchange for money to improve her food.

She and the nanny's monthly allowance also had to be added to make it enough for them to live.

In the manor, she has always been in charge of the kitchen. She always thought she did a good job, but she didn't expect that the young lady didn't have enough to eat every day.

Seeing how much Xu Jinyi ate, others also began to believe that Xu Jinyi’s monthly salary was withheld.

Thinking about Xu Jin'er again, I'm afraid that Xu Jin'er is really not as kind as she seems, otherwise how could she not know what situation Xu Jinyi is in?

What happened in the box soon reached Li Jinchen's ears.

Hearing Ouyang's rude words to Xu Jinyi, Li Jinchen secretly took note of it.

After dinner, the third prince wanted to invite Xu Jinyi to go on a boat trip with them, but Xu Jinyi refused.

The third prince just stood at the door of the restaurant and watched Xu Jinyi's back with interest until he disappeared.

After saying goodbye to everyone, the third prince secretly went to meet with his fellow party members.

The departure of the third prince made these noble ladies' dissatisfaction with Xu Jinyi reach its peak.

"Just as Jin'er said, Xu Jinyi is a seductive person. Look, the Third Prince was seduced after only meeting her twice."

Listening to everyone's gossip, Lin Shuyao didn't even feel like opening her mouth to speak. She said she was not feeling well and went back home.

Perhaps it was because Xu Jinyi's face was too alluring that the Third Prince lost his mind when he thought of her stunning beauty in front of his staff.

"Third Prince, is there anything wrong with this plan?"

“Ahem…”

After clearing his throat, the Third Prince spoke: "No, let's proceed according to this plan. Even if my father dotes on my brother, if he makes such a big mistake, he won't be able to protect him."

"Once I take that position, the Xu family will be eager to send Xu Jinyi to their door."

He had never been humiliated by a woman since he was a child. Although Xu Jinyi's attitude today made him feel fresh, he was more unhappy.

As the Third Prince, he could have any woman he wanted, but Xu Jinyi pretended to be a high-class woman in front of him.

She even looked down on him. Who gave her the courage?

"What's this about, Third Prince?" The staff member wondered why the Xu family was mentioned.

"If you have ever seen the eldest daughter of the Xu family, you will know how stunningly beautiful she is." The third prince's tone was filled with interest.

The staff frowned upon hearing this: "Third Prince, right now, gaining the support of General Wei Zhen's Mansion is the most important thing. The Xu family is of no help to our cause. I hope Third Prince will reconsider this."

The Third Prince raised his hand and said, "I know my limits on this matter. I will leave the position of my principal wife to Lin Shuyao. After she enters the palace, I will marry Xu Jinyi."

I know that the Third Prince has his own opinions and is not a lustful person. He will not do anything to ruin his great cause just because the eldest daughter of the Xu family is extremely beautiful.

Stepping into the Lishang Pavilion, Xu Jinyi stared with shining eyes at the jewelry displayed inside and the silks and satins hanging on both sides.

Li Shang Pavilion is indeed worthy of its reputation. I wonder what she can buy with the one thousand taels in her pocket.

I stared at the light green wide brocade bodice hanging on the wall and the moon-white misty gauze skirt, and I liked them more and more.

He immediately asked the shopkeeper to take the dress away.

When Xu Jinyi heard the price quoted by the shopkeeper, he couldn't hide the pain on his face.

But this dress is really beautiful. She loves beauty so much, how could she miss it?

I'll buy it even if it costs one hundred taels.

Qiu Hua behind her tugged at Xu Jinyi: "Miss, one hundred taels, that's so expensive."

Xu Jinyi said nonchalantly, "It's my scumbag dad's money anyway. I'll just ask him for more when I'm done."

Speaking of this, Xu Jinyi got angry. None of the clothes in her closet were presentable.

They are all made of very ordinary materials. This is the first time I have bought clothes that cost one hundred taels each.

It was also my first time stepping into the Li Shang Pavilion.

But what about Xu Jiner? Perhaps a single piece of clothing in her closet is worth as much as her entire wardrobe.

This scumbag dad is really biased to the extreme.

Let's see how she can make some big money.

Thinking of this, Xu Jinyi became dazed.

I had an idea in my mind, but I only found out after I went back and asked Aunt Xu about it.

Anyway, the scumbag dad’s life will not be easy from now on.

After asking for a dress, Xu Jinyi quickly fell in love with a light green wrap-around dress with elegant purple flowers all around the hem.

It will definitely look beautiful when you wear it.

But this dress is also more expensive, one hundred and fifty taels.

Then she bought a red gauze dress as red as fire, spending another two hundred taels.

After buying the dress, jewelry was also necessary. Xu Jinyi fell in love with the white jade tassel hairpin and a pair of pearl earrings at first sight.

But the price was more than she had left.

Xu Jinyi was embarrassed.

She didn't expect that one thousand taels would be so hard to spend.

"This lady is exempt from the bill today." A nonchalant voice of Lazy Sheep sounded from the second floor.

"Yes, sir." The shopkeeper bent down towards the upstairs.

He stood up and looked at Xu Jinyi with more respect.

A flash of surprise crossed Xu Jinyi's face, and he looked up.

I saw a young man in a gorgeous red robe standing on the second floor.

The red robe is exquisitely crafted and brightly colored, and it looks particularly close to the man.

The slender waist is clearly outlined. If you don't look at the face, others would probably think it's a woman.
