Chapter 87 Debate
These days she often comes to the store to cause trouble for Hu Xiner, and also goes to the comic store to take books and leave without ever paying.
I always argue with Hu Xiner because of this.
Now Mu Qing was cold and Hu Xin'er ignored her. She was a little bored, so she took out a comic book to read.
Suddenly, as if something had occurred to him, he asked, "Are these comics just for me, or are they for everyone else?"
Mu Qing looked at him as if he was an idiot.
The guard explained quietly, "Princess, the comics in the store are available to everyone with money, and they are very popular in town."
"What? Can everyone here afford such a good book?" The eldest princess was incredulous.
"The most expensive of these books is only three taels of silver each," the guard explained.
The eldest princess frowned. The books she usually read were priceless masterpieces or rare copies, but the comics here were much more interesting than those written by those old scholars.
It only costs three taels of silver per book.
"You are indeed a little thing who doesn't know the value of things, huh." The eldest princess shook her head. What made her even more incomprehensible was that Hu Xin'er was so straightforward when she refused her gold, silver and jewelry, but actually quarreled with her so fiercely over a comic book worth three taels of silver.
After Hu Xiner finished painting, she walked up to Hu Xiner with great grace and looked her up and down.
Hu Xin'er raised her head and asked warily, "What are you going to do?"
She lost the battle but not the battle. Although the eldest princess was taller and richer than her, she could not compare with her when it came to talking nonsense!
Unexpectedly, this time the princess did not come to quarrel with her, but asked with pity: "Are you really short of money?"
Then she bent down and said arrogantly, "This princess doesn't like other women buying comics featuring Lu Yunjue. Name your price. How much would it cost to buy out all the comics?"
"Ten thousand taels!" Hu Xiner said without hesitation.
Just as the princess was waiting for her to bargain as usual, the man in front of her curled his red lips slightly and lifted her chin: "A book that costs three taels of silver a copy, and you dare to ask for ten thousand taels? You're quite greedy, but - deal!"
This scene really looks like a domineering female president is going to buy a fierce little shopkeeper.
For a moment, Mu Qing's face darkened.
He took two or three steps forward, protecting Hu Xin'er behind him, and interrupted their eye contact: "Princess, please respect yourself!"
Smelling the sourness in his words, Hu Xiner felt a little amused. Mu Qing was actually jealous of the eldest princess.
The next day, the eldest princess walked out of the door yawning and saw Hu Xiner and others loading things into the carriage.
It turned out that Hu Xiner made a lot of money yesterday, so she planned to take a break for a while and take Erdong and Mu Qing to do "team building".
"What is team building?" The eldest princess walked past the cold Mu Qing and grabbed Hu Xiner's collar.
Hu Xin'er turned her head innocently, and considering that the eldest princess was the God of Wealth, she explained, "Actually, it was just a picnic by the lake. It wasn't very interesting, simple and shabby."
"I'm going!" The eldest princess said, then she boarded the carriage, lifted the curtain and smiled slightly: "It's your honor to have me join you."
Hu Xin'er followed helplessly: "Princess, having a picnic is beneath your noble status, and it could also be dangerous."
The eldest princess was very satisfied with her concern. She felt that Hu Xin'er had finally recognized her identity.
"Yes, Princess, it's not fun to have a picnic in this remote place." Xiaolan rarely agreed.
The eldest princess raised an eyebrow and said, "Why did you follow me? Tell them I don't want my subordinates to disturb me, so don't follow me."
Just like that, the original team-building activity turned into Hu Xiner and Mu Qing playing and fighting by the lake, while the eldest princess and Erdong looked at each other in bewilderment.
Hu Xiner rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs, and splashed water at Mu Qing with a smile. Mu Qing dodged in a somewhat embarrassed manner, but his face was full of doting.
"What's so fun about water? Look, I'll kill them all without leaving a single one alive." The eldest princess muttered softly and walked into the water.
However, she was wearing a long skirt and a wide-sleeved coat, and as soon as she stepped on the stone, she tripped and fell into the water.
Among the three people on the shore, only Erdong knew how to swim. He quickly jumped into the water and rescued the princess. Fortunately, they did not stay in the water for long. The eldest princess was pressed down and vomited a few mouthfuls of water.
Just as the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, the eldest princess didn't open her eyes. Instead, her whole body began to twitch, and she babbled nonsense: "Ah! Ah! You stinky water ghosts, get out of here!"
"It seems to be hysteria after being caught in water." Hu Xiner was a little nervous. If something really happened to the eldest princess, they couldn't afford it.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have let her come here alone.
The eldest princess's movements became more and more violent, and Erdong could hardly hold her down. In desperation, he shouted, "I'm sorry!"
A slap was given to the eldest princess in the face.
The eldest princess's face was swollen from being slapped. She was stunned and motionless, but her eyes slowly opened.
Erdong was also a little nervous. Although he had fanned the princess awake, he would be helpless if the princess wanted to punish him.
The eldest princess looked at Erdong deeply and said in a bad tone: "Very good, you are the first man who dares to hit me."
Erdong immediately released the hand that was holding the princess, knelt on one knee, and kowtowed to apologize: "I offended the princess in a moment of desperation, please forgive me!"
Even in her soaking wet state, the eldest princess still maintained her composure and gave Erdong a devilish smile: "I will remember you, man."
A storm ended in this way, and the atmosphere became a little weird.
Erdong caught the fish, and Mu Qing was in charge of making a fire. Hu Xiner saw that there was not enough firewood, so she volunteered: "I'll go to the nearby grove to collect firewood."
The eldest princess, contrary to her usual behavior, followed Hu Xin'er until Mu Qing disappeared from view, then she asked, "When are you going to give me Lu Yun Jue?"
"This is absolutely impossible." Hu Xiner's tone turned cold when she mentioned this.
The eldest princess said contemptuously: "Even if you don't let me, if I really want to snatch it, you won't be able to snatch it from me."
"You are still so mysteriously confident." Hu Xiner laughed.
"This princess is of noble birth and stunning beauty, and is a perfect match for Lu Yunjue." The eldest princess spoke with rare sincerity. "I'm doing this for your own good. You're just a village woman, and marrying him while he's down on his luck isn't a relationship that can withstand the test of time."
Hu Xin'er was too lazy to pay attention to the eldest princess. After spending these days together, she knew that the eldest princess was not a bad person by nature. She was just too proud and complacent, thinking that the whole world would revolve around her.
The eldest princess, however, held her tightly, sneering, "Hu Xin'er, you have to face reality. You are not worthy of Lu Yunjue at all. Don't force me to take action against you. You won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Hu Xiner was about to retort, but her expression suddenly changed.
There was a snake coiled on the tree, very close to the princess!
