Qiu Yan smiled and shook her head; she really needed the money.
"Princess Mayi, forget about giving it to me, just lend it to me."
Mayi smiled slightly and said, "It's all the same, you don't have to pay it back." Compared to freedom, money was really not worth mentioning in her eyes.
She thought to herself, why didn't I think of using money to bribe Qiu Yan and the others yesterday?
Right now, she has no money on her.
Qiu Yan's gaze lingered on the several pieces of jade.
Finally, she pointed to the jade pendant with the Pixiu design.
"I'll take this one."
Mayi smiled and acted as a translator for the jade shop owner.
The jade shop owner had a big smile on his face.
Qiu Yan paid for the white jade pendant.
Seeing this, Qin Susu smiled and said:
"Xiaoyan, I want one too."
Seeing Qin Susu's ingratiating smile, Qiu Yan waved her hand.
"Pick whatever you like."
Qin Susu smiled and happily chose the wolf tooth pendant that she wanted.
She happily wore it around her neck.
"Xiaoyan, if anyone asks, I'll just say it was a gift from my sweetheart."
Qiu Yan shook her head: "Who is your sweetheart?"
Qin Susu smiled and said, "You are the one I love."
Qiu Yan... remained silent.
Ling Ba remained silent.
Qin Susu has always been known for her outspokenness, so he's long been used to it.
Lieutenant Yuan laughed a few times, and when he mentioned Qin Susu's sweetheart, he jokingly said:
"Miss Qin, how is your husband doing this month? You just ran off like this, leaving him alone at home. That's not a good idea."
Qin Susu's smile froze instantly.
Her lips curled into a tight pout. "He can't control me at all."
If Uncle Yuan hadn't mentioned it, she seemed to have forgotten that she had a husband at home.
God, could you please make her husband disappear from her life?
She hung the wolf-tooth jade pendant around her neck, turned her head, and smiled at Ling Ba.
"Xiaoyan, the Eighth Deputy General doesn't own a single decent item. He looks utterly poor. Why don't you buy him a piece of jade?"
She clearly remembered every detail of the four of them parting ways just a few months ago, when she and Ling Ba left first.
Back then, because of Qin Feng, they were in a hurry on their journey and didn't have much money on them.
She pawned her silver hairpin to exchange for travel expenses for the two of them.
Lieutenant Yuan's lips twitched slightly, Mayi's smile froze on her face, and the jade shop owner looked completely bewildered.
Ling Ba glared at Qin Susu, his face turning pale.
Does Qin Susu even know how to speak?
What does "poor and shabby" mean? He just doesn't like accessories.
Qiu Yan glanced at the subtle expressions on Qin Susu and Ling Ba's faces; one was smiling, and the other was embarrassed.
Well, Qin Susu never thinks before she speaks.
Since Qin Susu had already brought it up, Qiu Yan followed her lead and looked at Ling Ba.
"Brother Ling, which one do you like? Choose one."
As Ling Ba listened to Qiu Yan's gentle voice and glanced at her pale eyes, his heart trembled slightly.
His gaze swept briefly over the white jade Pixiu in Qiu Yan's hand, then instantly fell upon a light jade pendant with a bamboo-shaped pattern. He said to Qin Susu:
"Miss Qin is wealthy, but I, Ling Ba, am no match for you. If you are truly wealthy, why don't you pay for this bamboo-shaped jade pendant and give it to me?"
Ling Ba simply laughed and said that at this moment, he knew whether Qin Susu had money or not while they were out and about.
He also knew that Xiaoyan needed to save some money for living expenses.
He didn't want to put Xiaoyan in a difficult position, which is why he joked with Qin Susu.
She started this trouble first, embarrassing him.
This time, it was Qin Susu's turn to be embarrassed.
