Yao Xinyue took a fancy to a hairpin and called Su Nanxi over to take a look.

Su Nanxi gave Yan Feng a wink. Yan Feng glanced at the hairpin, nodded, and, understanding, turned and left Su Nanxi's side.

"Yes! It looks great, and it suits you perfectly!"

"I think so too, but I don't know how expensive it is! No! I bought it for you! But that doesn't stop me from liking it! Sigh! Why can't I resist beautiful things?"

"Why don't we go ask if they have any special offers? I've heard that many stores in Beijing offer promotions from time to time, like buy-one-get-one-free or discounts! It's just a matter of asking around, and if they do, we could save a lot of money! We can buy our favorite things for the least amount of money, that's really great!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Xinyue was also intrigued. She often wandered around the streets and had naturally heard about such things. In other words, it was about organizing events to let more people know about the event, increase brand awareness, and earn more money!

It's not impossible!

So Yao Xinyue went to ask the shopkeeper and, upon learning that there really was a promotional offer, happily skipped back home.

"SuSu! You guessed right! There really is a promotion! Buy one get one free! And that's not all, I heard that our arrival was a lucky number, so we won a prize and get an extra 50% off! It must be because I met you today that my luck is so good!"

"It's just a coincidence. They always say that it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"

"It's not such a coincidence! Every time I go shopping with my sisters-in-law and my close friends, I've never gotten any discounts, let alone such good treatment! It must be because of you that this happened! You saved those assassins for me before, so I'm giving you a little something. It's not much of a way to repay your kindness, but it's a small token of my appreciation! Which one do you like?"

Actually, Su Nanxi didn't like any of them. They were all too pretty, and they were only for maintaining proper posture. She felt somewhat uncomfortable wearing them, so she tried not to wear them if she could avoid it, rather than because she couldn't afford them.

Seeing that Yao Xinyue was so eager to express her feelings, Su Nanxi couldn't refuse her. She glanced around and randomly picked one.

"Susu! You have such good taste! This one is also very pretty! Let's take this one! You can't buy what you like with money!"

Yao Xinyue was overjoyed and asked the shopkeeper to come and take it down and wrap it up.

Watching the abacus beads move incessantly, she felt a surge of nervousness. If this exceeded her budget, things would get complicated!

Not only will her wallet be completely empty, but she might also have to ask her mother for help to give her more pocket money!

Go and squeeze some more from your sisters-in-law. If that doesn't work, go and ask your older brothers for money under various pretexts. That should be enough, right?

She has already figured out how she will live her life from now on!

After buying these pieces of jewelry, I'll definitely have to tighten my belt for a while!

Because she had already bought two items, neither of which were very cheap!

Su Nanxi saw Yao Xinyue's actions and found them somewhat amusing. This girl was really honest; she probably thought of everyone who could contribute money.

These items are usually quite expensive, the kind that would really hurt to buy just one, but now that there are discounts, they're not so expensive anymore.

There was no one else in the shop at that moment, so there was no fear of others finding out.

"SuSu! I can't believe how lucky I am today! I'm so happy! I managed to buy everything everyone wants for so little money! I'm going to brag about this when I get back! Hehe! They can't get it, they can't buy it, but look at me, I got such great stuff on my first try!"

As soon as she left the jewelry store, Yao Xinyue jumped up excitedly, becoming happier and happier with each passing moment.

"Sister! You're here too! Where are you going? Oh dear! Are you taking your friend shopping? Sorry! I wasn't looking!"

Suddenly, a voice with a tea-like tone came over, sweet and coquettish, as if it was deliberately speaking in a high-pitched voice, which made me feel a little uncomfortable!

How affected!

Su Nanxi looked over and saw a girl, whose appearance was not as good as Yao Xinyue's. At this moment, she was covering her mouth with a handkerchief, pretending to be shy and embarrassed.

Tsk!

Could this be the second young lady of the Duke of Cheng's mansion?

If someone calls Yao Xinyue "elder sister," then she must be a half-sister, since the Duke of Cheng's mansion only has one legitimate daughter.

It is obvious that Yao Xinyue is the legitimate daughter.

Sigh!

These illegitimate children are desperate to make their presence felt, as if they're afraid others will forget about them!

This is true for the person in front of us, and it is also true for Su Mingyue!

It would have been better if Su Mingyue hadn't been mentioned, but once she was, it seemed that the situations of the Marquis of Anping's mansion and the Duke of Cheng's mansion were somewhat similar, even the plot of the eldest daughter being framed was strangely similar!

Tsk!

I wasn't very clear about the situation in the capital before, nor did I have a deep understanding of it. But now that I've been here for a while, I understand a lot more, and as a result, I feel even more how good the atmosphere in the capital is!

Judging from Yao Mengru's tone of voice, one can guess that she is usually like this, which makes her seem a bit disrespectful. It seems that she is usually quite pampered, otherwise she wouldn't be like this!

If they weren't favored, they would probably have tucked their tails between their legs and cowered away, not daring to be so arrogant!

Yao Xinyue snorted inwardly, "Isn't that just disrespectful?"

She's only a few months older than Yao Mengru!

Her mother and father had a political marriage. They had some feelings for each other, but they weren't very deep.

Yao Mengru's mother was her father's favorite. The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts and knew each other inside and out. Unfortunately, Yao Mengru's mother was not qualified to be the main wife, so she could only be a concubine!

However, relying on the man's affection, she was not afraid of anything. As long as they could be together, she didn't care about status or anything else, which moved her father to tears!

So he felt he owed others a lot. Not long after marrying her mother, he also took his white moonlight into the household. The time difference was very short, so her eldest brother and Yao Xinyue's eldest brother were born one after the other.

Since there are no legitimate children, concubines cannot be born first. The Duke of Cheng's mansion would not allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, no matter how unwilling her father was, for the sake of his beloved, he would give her mother everything he was entitled to!

Fortunately, her mother wasn't a romantic at heart. She had long understood her mission and didn't crave unrealistic love. As long as it didn't threaten her position, she turned a blind eye.

Her mother is very insightful; as long as she has power and wealth in her own hands, she doesn't care about anything else!

Let her husband be as promiscuous as he wants. She should just live her own life. If her husband is willing to show some concern, she should accept it, but she shouldn't expect him to be moved!

Yao Mengru was indeed spoiled and became somewhat disrespectful, because apart from not being born of the main wife, she used almost all the best things in the mansion!

"Can't you see we're shopping?"
