When they arrived, Bai Nuo and Jiang Qiao'er had just gone upstairs to greet Zhang Wu, leaving only Jiang San Niang on the first floor. Just as the two arrived, Jiang San Niang had just received thirty-three taels of silver from that lady, which was seen by Granny Yu. Seeing that there was an acquaintance like Jiang San Niang in the shop that sold extremely expensive things, Granny Yu assumed that the shop was newly opened by Jiang San Niang, so Granny Yu asked Jiang San Niang to give her a gift.
These things all belong to Bai Nuo. Jiang San Niang was just watching over them for Bai Nuo. How could she possibly give Bai Nuo's things to Granny Yu? Granny Yu wanted them, and it wasn't that Jiang San Niang wouldn't give them. Jiang San Niang wanted to buy them with her own money, but Granny Yu took a necklace and Zhang Ji Yue took a bracelet. When Jiang San Niang wanted to give them money, she realized she hadn't brought any with her. She had to tell them that the shop wasn't hers and they couldn't take the things. Granny Yu then thought that Jiang San Niang was reluctant to give them anything and started making a scene.
Fortunately, Old Lady Yu still cared about being in public and had some dignity, so she didn't start cursing—although she was practically cursing by now, as she was sitting on the ground, acting like she was throwing a tantrum.
"Leave it to me!" Bai Nuo patted Jiang San Niang's hand, then turned to look at Zhang Ji Yue and said with a smile, "Miss Zhang, do you want to buy this? It's twenty-eight taels of silver. If you want it, I'll give you a discount of three taels of silver for San Niang's sake, so you can take it for twenty-five taels of silver."
Where would Zhang Jiyue get so much money? Let alone twenty-five taels of silver, she couldn't even come up with five taels or one tael. She'd been with the Yu family for so long, and her food and clothing had all been taken care of by Old Lady Yu and Yu Ziqing.
She didn't have a single penny on her.
Upon hearing Bai Nuo's words, Zhang Jiyue blushed. Everyone was already looking at them, and Bai Nuo's words drew all attention to Zhang Jiyue and Bai Nuo. Zhang Jiyue whispered, "This is a bit expensive..."
Zhang Jiyue simply couldn't bring herself to admit to Jiang Sanniang that she had no money.
"What did you say?" Bai Nuo tried to get closer to Zhang Jiyue. Zhang Jiyue was the kind of girl who was delicate and refined, the kind of girl whose red eyes could arouse a man's protective instincts. But today she was wearing all white clothes, and no matter how Bai Nuo looked at her, Zhang Jiyue looked like a white lotus flower.
No, she's always like a pure white lotus!
Bai Nuo deeply hates Bai Lianhua.
When she was young, she did have a crush on a boy. He was very outstanding and naturally had no shortage of suitors. Bai Nuo put on a nice face and won him over. Just when she was about to confess her feelings, on the afternoon she was about to meet him, the boy she had arranged to meet didn't show up. Instead, a girl showed up instead.
The girl said that the boy liked her and asked Bai Nuo to back out. If he wanted to back out, he should have told Bai Nuo directly, instead of playing so many ambiguous games. Since the boy didn't show up, Bai Nuo naturally didn't show up either. With her personality, if others didn't provoke her, she would be fine, but if they did, she would bite off a piece of their flesh. Naturally, she wouldn't back down. When the two were arguing, the girl collapsed.
It just so happens that the man didn't show up earlier or later, but he did at that exact moment, and the girl took the opportunity to say that Bai Nuo pushed her.
Although the boy didn't say anything, he still pulled the girl away. Bai Nuo wanted to explain that she hadn't run into the girl, but then she discovered that the boy had blocked her.
A relationship was thus ended.
Therefore, Bai Nuo has always disliked Bai Lianhua.
"Oh, this is a bit expensive?" Bai Nuo smiled. "We don't bargain here. If you think it's a bit pricey, I suggest you think about it. Give me back what you brought. We have free tea here, so you can sit down and think it over."
Bai Nuo took the pearl bracelet from Zhang Jiyue's hand and said to Zhang Jiyue, "Please have a seat over there."
"What things are so expensive? I came to buy something, and you still want to charge me?" Old Mrs. Yu saw that Zhang Jiyue's eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry. She felt extremely sorry for her and complained.
"Old lady!" After dealing with Zhang Jiyue, Bai Nuo turned to Old Lady Yu and said, "We have stools for you to sit on. Please don't sit on the ground. If others see this, they'll think we have nothing here and expect guests to sit on the ground."
"Perhaps she has some unusual fetish?" The people around her had been watching the spectacle, neither buying anything nor leaving, just staring at Old Lady Yu. It wasn't that no one recognized them, but they just found her behavior quite amusing!
Seeing that even after he had said all that, Old Lady Yu still wouldn't get up, Bai Nuo had no choice but to ask, "I'm running this business to make money, not to give it to you for free. Why don't you want money?"
"The things here are far too expensive. What can cost thirty taels of silver?" Thirty taels of silver would be enough for her to eat and drink for several years. This isn't gold or silver, why is it so expensive?
"If it's expensive, you don't have to buy it!" Bai Nuo said with a smile. She didn't want to sell it to this old woman. Not long ago, they had a fight. She couldn't even face Old Lady Yu with a smile, but Old Lady Yu could act as if nothing had happened!
Is it possible that her cultivation level is really inferior to that of Old Woman Yu?
"How dare you talk to me like that?" Old Mrs. Yu suddenly became angry, pointing to her heart and saying, "Do you know who I am? I'm the mother-in-law of this shop owner!"
Even now, she still believes that the multi-treasure pavilion belongs to Jiang San Niang, not Bai Nuo; Bai Nuo is just a servant who came to work.
