Shopkeeper Bai was a little stunned when he saw the headdress. He reached out and picked up a hairpin, looked at it and said, "If I remember correctly, this headdress was sold by our silver shop last month. It seemed to be sold for 350 taels of silver. If the little girl wants to sell it back, it will not be worth this price. I can only give you 280 taels of silver."
A 20% deduction is reasonable. Chen Ahfu nodded.
Shopkeeper Bai still felt a little regretful as he only made seventy taels of silver from this business.
When Chen Ahfu saw Shopkeeper Bai move the brocade box closer to him, the pain in his heart became more obvious. In front of her eyes flashed Chen Shiying's face that was very similar to hers, his red eyes from crying, and his sweet words that were trying to please her... She never expected that, because her heart would also hurt!
She had never considered Chen Shiying as a relative. She thought he was just the father of those people in Dingzhou, and her father was only Chen Ming.
However, when she was about to trample on this person's kindness, she felt so uncomfortable. Is this the true feeling of being connected by blood? Although she is not the original owner, this bloodline body is still inherited from him.
Whether she admits it or not, he is her biological father! That kind of blood connection can never be severed.
Although Chen Shiying is not a good father, he is a father who wants to restore the family relationship. He is not as inhumane as his mother. He is trying to please her in every way he can think of...
Chen Ahfu quickly reached out and grabbed the brocade back, saying, "No, I don't want to sell it."
Shopkeeper Bai looked at Chen Ahfu in confusion and asked, "Young lady, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Afu said, "I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Bai, I suddenly can't bear to sell it. I have some other things..."
As he was speaking, the waiter's anxious voice came from outside, "Manager Bai, hurry up, a distinguished guest is coming."
Shopkeeper Bai quickly stood up and said to Chen Ahfu, "Young lady, wait here or go out for a walk. We can talk after I greet the distinguished guest."
Chen Afu nodded.
As soon as Shopkeeper Bai left, he heard a lazy voice, "Do you have any emeralds with particularly good brightness in your shop? I want that kind, I'll take as many as you can get."
Shopkeeper Bai said humbly, "Sir, I'm sorry, there is only one emerald of that kind, and it was brought to you by a customer. At that time, he sold one emerald and three rubies, and both of these gems were made into jewelry and sold. We don't have any more in the store."
The lazy voice asked again, "Do you know where the person who sells gems is?"
Shopkeeper Bai said, "I don't know. He sold it and left, and never came back... Well, we have other good jewelry in our silver shop. Please go upstairs, and I'll get it for you."
The footsteps gradually faded away.
One emerald and three rubies, could they be the ones he sold to this jewelry store last year? Chen Ahfu's heart tightened.
The gems he sold weren't particularly good, they just had a better gloss. How could this be? Chen Ahfu thought about it and understood. Perhaps the gems had been in space for so many years and had been stained with spiritual energy, and had undergone some changes. It was just that he didn't know how to appreciate them, so he didn't see it.
The shopkeeper Bai was really nice. He didn't sell her out and seemed to be reminding her to leave quickly.
Chen Ahfu quickly reached into the bag containing the brocade box with his left hand and put the brocade box into the space. He was too weak now, so some things were not suitable to be taken out.
She was about to leave when Guard Wang and his men came in. Guard Wang whispered, "Miss Chen, the man who just came was a noble from the capital."
Chen Ahfu became even more anxious, and stood up and said, "Forget it, let's not sell it, let's go home quickly."
A few people came out of the hut and saw a few guards guarding the door of the silver shop.
Chen Afu lowered her head. As soon as they left the jewelry store, they ran into the person she least wanted to see, Chen Yuhui.
What a bad luck to go out!
Chen Yuhui also saw Chen Afu. She hated Chen Afu the most in her life. She dreamed of tearing her mouth apart many times. Damn girl, you dare to say that you are ugly! In the territory of Dingzhou Prefecture, I must get back the humiliation I suffered.
She took two quick steps to block Chen Ahfu and said, "Hey, isn't this Chen Ahfu? Haha, it's really a narrow road for enemies to meet again."
Chen Afu didn't want to pay attention to her and walked to the right.
Chen Yuhui thought Chen Ahfu must be afraid of him, so she left in such a hurry. She took two quick steps to block her and said, "You stupid girl, why are you so nervous? Aren't you very good at talking? Do you think you scolded me in vain? I will tear your mouth to pieces today." After that, she said to the two maids behind her, "Beat her and tear her mouth to pieces."
Just as those men were about to rush over, they were stopped by Xue Dagui, Xia Yue, and Qiu Yue. Guard Wang cursed, "You are looking for death. If you dare to touch Miss Chen, I will break your fingers."
Chen Yuhui was furious and was about to introduce himself when a guard leader guarding the door spoke.
He said, "Look at what you have done. You are a grown man, but you actually get involved in a fight between young ladies." He pointed at Xue Dagui and Chu Xiaoniu and said, "You two grown men, stay out of it. Wait for these young ladies to start fighting. Haha, I want to see who can win."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other guards also burst into laughter.
Guard Wang quickly clasped his fists and said, "Sir, it's not our girl who wants to fight, it's that girl who is going too far."
Chen Yuhui went out today with only two maids and two servants, but no guards. Seeing Xue Dagui and Guard Wang protecting Chen Afu, he felt guilty. Seeing a few men in military uniforms guarding the door, he was even more scared. If a fight really broke out, he would not only suffer, but also ruin his reputation. It was all his fault that he had been paying attention to that stinky girl Chen Afu, but did not notice that there were a few men standing at the door of the silver shop.
Chen Ahfu walked around Chen Yuhui and was about to leave. He heard a lazy voice from behind, "Stop, I want to see what kind of young lady dares to fight in the street."
Chen Afu cursed Chen Yuhui in his heart, so he had to lower his head and stand still without looking back.
A young man in his twenties walked out of the silver shop. He was tall, fair and thin, dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a purple gold crown on his head.
He glanced at Chen Yuhui twice, then turned to Chen Afu.
He looked Chen Ahfu up and down, with a slight smile on his face, and said, "There is a beauty in the north, who is independent and secluded from the world... She is a pretty young lady. She looks gentle and virtuous, and she will definitely not fight." He pointed at Chen Yuhui with the fan in his hand and said, "Was she the one who started the trouble? If the young lady says yes, I will help you vent your anger."
The voice was lazy and cold, but it frightened people to the extreme.
