She can't compare to Princess Ling, but she can't even compare to Princess Jin?!
Fu Shu coldly said, "I'd like to see just how rich you, Princess Consort of Jin, really are!"
Not one to back down, Shen Ying immediately pointed to several sets of headdresses, "I want them all!"
After saying that, he gave Fu Shu a provocative look.
Fu Shu bought even more.
Shen Wan stood there, watching the two argue, while the manager of Cuiyu Pavilion couldn't stop smiling.
In the end, Fu Shu was defeated, and Shen Ying held her head high, looking smug.
But after feeling smug, Shen Ying came to Shen Wan and said, "Big sister, I don't have enough money on me. Can you lend me some?"
Shen Wan said expressionlessly, "You don't have enough money, yet you still buy so much jewelry."
Shen Ying said, "Then I can't let her look down on me."
Shen Wan said, "Have Cuiyu Pavilion send the jewelry to Prince Jin's residence and then get the money."
Shen Ying said, "Fu Shu paid the bill directly. If I have to send it to the Prince of Jin's residence to get the money, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"
So, if I borrow money from her, I won't lose?
Shen Wan found it laughable. Did she not know what Shen Ying was plotting in her heart?
She happened to run into the sisters from the same household again, and had no choice but to help.
Shen Wan instructed Yin Shuang, "Go settle the bill."
Yinshuang's eyes widened. Shen Wan whispered a few instructions, and Yinshuang happily went to pay the bill.
Fu Shu couldn't outdo Shen Ying, and her face turned ugly. Just then, news came from the opposite Wangyue Tower: "Young Master Xu has come up with a matching couplet."
Someone immediately asked, "Which Young Master Xu?"
"It is the eldest son of the Xu family, the newly appointed Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites."
Yun Mo and Yun Rui exchanged a glance, a hint of disdain flashing through their minds.
Fu Shu lost face, so the flattering young lady asked, "I heard that the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites was recommended by the Duke of Zhongguo, is that true?"
Fu Shu's terrible mood instantly brightened up again.
It was her father who recommended her.
His father was the Duke of Zhongguo, who enjoyed the Emperor's deep trust, far surpassing the mere second master of the Pingyang Marquis's mansion.
Fu Shu raised her neck high, leaving like a victorious rooster.
Shen Ying twisted the embroidered handkerchief in her hand in anger, but she felt a little better when she thought about how many pieces of jewelry she had bought.
The shop assistant packed up the jewelry, and Shen Ying's maid, Lü Liu, reached out to take it, but Yin Shuang snatched it away first. Lü Liu said, "This jewelry was bought by my princess. What are you doing with it?!"
Yinshuang said, "The jewelry belongs to your princess, but the money was paid for by my princess."
As he spoke, he picked up his bundle and stood behind Shen Wan.
Shen Ying said angrily, "What do you mean by this, elder sister?"
Isn't the meaning obvious enough?
Shen Wan said, "Second sister, send someone to the Ling Prince's mansion with silver notes, and I will give you the jewelry then."
Shen Ying remained calm and said unhappily, "Is eldest sister worried that I won't pay you back?"
“After all, this isn’t the first or second time you’ve borrowed money and not paid it back,” Shen Wan said.
Shen Ying's face turned green instantly.
