"Then let someone else have it. I don't think it's worth spending two thousand taels of silver on something that someone else has used."
Yu Lan stared wide-eyed in disbelief, looking at Tian Yun as if she were a madwoman.
"That's His Highness the Second Prince, how could he be the 'other person' you're talking about? Don't forget how you used to whisper in my ear every day how much you admired His Highness!"
Lingqi served tea and came forward, but was taken aback upon hearing this.
The girl's heart has already changed, yet Miss Yu is still unaware?
Tianyun took a sip of tea before speaking slowly and deliberately: "Let alone the fact that I no longer have feelings for the Second Prince, even if that were the case, how can you prove that this porcelain pillow was truly used by the Second Prince?"
"This...this...I...I..." Not paying attention to what she said in the first half of her sentence, Yu Lan stammered for a long time, feeling surprised and uncertain.
She had become so clever and eloquent that she stumped me with her questions.
Has she already figured it out?!
She's very simple-minded; no, she won't. Don't scare yourself.
Yu Lan stiffened her neck and said in a bluffing manner, "My cousin has such a close relationship with the Second Prince, what difficulty would it be for me to want a porcelain pillow? Don't be so sure that you can't afford the price and are now questioning me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tianyun chuckled, as if a stagnant pool of water had been infused with vitality, suddenly becoming shimmering and bright.
She laughed and said, "I can't afford the price? I just don't want to give away my money to someone like you for nothing."
After all, the young man had said that even if one is extremely wealthy, there's no need to waste money like this.
As if remembering something, Tianyun added, "There's no need to come to me again to sell these lousy personal items. I've changed my mind now and will no longer be obsessed with the Second Prince. There's no need to come to me with anything related to him."
After saying that, he ignored Yu Lan's alternating pale and flushed face and picked up the medical book again to study the location of the hundred acupoints.
Do you still think I'm that naive girl from before, letting you take advantage of me, treating me with disdain, and in the end, having to hand over my money to you for nothing?
Tianyun sighed inwardly, lamenting that the only "best friend" the silly girl had made since arriving in the capital turned out to be someone with ulterior motives.
Yu Lan stomped her foot, her face flushed with anger, but she couldn't utter a single word.
How could she change her mind so easily? What should I do now?
She had confidently promised her cousin that she could provide a thousand taels of silver to help her with disaster relief in Huyang, which was why she had asked Tianyun for such an unprecedentedly high price. She had hoped to impress the main wife, but now, instead, she had caused her father to lose face. She was sure to get another beating from her stepmother when she got home!
