When Madam Xu heard this, she saw that Princess Xinyue was about to speak again, so she quickly took the lead and said, "Silly daughter, you want to go shopping with the princess, how could I not be prepared?"
As she spoke, Xu's mother took out a thousand taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to Xu Jinyi: "Take this money and go shopping with the princess. If you see anything you like, buy it yourself."
One thousand taels is actually not a small amount. The monthly pocket money of many ladies in wealthy families is only one hundred taels of silver, which is actually not a small amount.
But compared with Xu Jingwan's five thousand taels, it seemed a little insufficient.
"Mother really likes Sister Jingwan more. Since I came back, Mother was worried about her mood, so she gave her five thousand taels of silver."
"Even her father said he would give her 10,000 taels so that she could go out and buy things, and let everyone know that even though she was an adopted daughter, her status was the same."
"It turns out that even if I come back, I am no better than an adopted daughter."
Xu's mother was furious, her chest suffocating with anger. She took out the key to the warehouse and gave it to Jiang Ma. She said with a pained look on her face, "Go to the warehouse and withdraw 10,000 taels for the eldest lady."
"Mother, you don't have to do this. If you can't bear to let go, then forget it."
Madam Xu: "I'm not sad to let you go. I was just being inconsiderate. You just returned to the capital and have many things to buy. One thousand taels is naturally not enough."
Xinyue also took a look at Xu Jinyi's simple outfit and said, "This princess remembers that the headdress Xu Jingwan was wearing just now was a treasure from the Jinluo Pavilion, and it cost more than six thousand taels of silver."
"That dress is a Liusha skirt from Weiyi Pavilion, and it cost at least five hundred taels. Madam Xu was so generous to her adopted daughter, but didn't she have any preparation for her own daughter?"
Mrs. Xu looked a little embarrassed. She really had not prepared anything for Xu Jinyi.
Moreover, in her opinion, a daughter who came back from the countryside had probably never seen a banknote in her life, so one thousand taels was already too much.
But now, the princess said so, if she didn't pay a little blood, she was afraid that soon the news that their Shangshu Mansion was mistreating their own daughter would spread throughout the capital.
"She just came back, and I don't know what style Xiaoyi likes yet. I'm thinking of taking her to buy it in the future."
Xinyue nodded. "So that's how it is. Since I'm free today, I'll just take my beautiful sister to buy some. Once we've chosen them, we'll send them directly to your house. What do you think, Madam Xu?"
Mother Xu nodded with a stiff face, feeling very sad inside.
Everything in Jinluoge and Weiyige is exquisite and very expensive. Princess Xinyue has high standards, so Mrs. Xu has no idea how much the items will cost.
Xinyue: "That's fine. We'll send it over directly after we've made our selections. Madam Xu, don't forget to pay then."
At this time, Jiang Ma also came with a silver note worth 10,000 taels.
Mother Xu reluctantly handed it to Xu Jinyi and had to say generously: "Xiaoyi, buy whatever you like later, don't save it."
"Okay, thank you, mother."
Seeing the painful look on Xu's mother's face, Xu Jinyi was delighted.
Although she was rich and disdained the Xu family's small amount of money, this was all owed to her by them, so why shouldn't she take it?
When Xu Jingwan finds out that she took ten thousand taels from home, she will probably be furious to death.
She was just spending what she should spend, and there was no such thing as reluctance.
Under Mrs. Xu's gaze, Xu Jinyi stepped onto Xinyue's carriage.
"Thank you so much for your help just now, Princess." Xu Jinyi said this sincerely.
"No need to thank me, sister. Just call me Xinyue. Sister, you must not have eaten yet. I will take you to eat something delicious." With that, Xinyue asked the coachman to take them to the restaurant.
Xu Jinyi nodded: "Okay, Xinyue, you helped me just now, I'll treat you later."
Xinyue waved her hand: "No, no, let me treat you to a meal as a good host. You'll need money a lot in the future. You just took this money from the Xu family. I'm sure they won't give you any money in the short term."
Xu Jinyi was unmoved: "It doesn't matter, I don't need this little money, but taking this money will make them feel upset, so why shouldn't I take it?"
"Anyway, if I don't take it, it will only benefit the counterfeiters, so I not only want to take this money, but also spend it all today!"
"It might implicate you, Xinyue. If I spend all the money, they will definitely be angry, but for your sake, I'm afraid they won't do anything to me. You might just get blamed."
Xinyue didn't care: "What's the big deal? My reputation as a little witch is so great anyway. But sister, they are your family. Don't you feel sad when they treat you like this?"
Xu Jinyi showed a look of disdain: "They simply don't look down on a country bumpkin like me. Even if I try to get close to them, I'm afraid it will just be a waste of time and nothing good will come of it."
"In that case, why don't I live for myself? I don't care about the affection I beg for. I can live well without them."
Xinyue likes her feeling of being the only one in power. She always feels like she is in control and everything is according to her plan.
"Sister, since they treat you badly, then come back with me to the Regent's Palace. No one will dare to bully you there."
Xu Jinyi rubbed her head and felt that Xinyue's mischievous appearance was very cute, and her words and deeds were trying to seduce her.
"Sister doesn't like living under someone else's control. If I want to leave the Shangshu Mansion, I can do so at any time, but now is not a good time."
"Xu Jingwan stole what was mine. Although I despise her, I will never let her take advantage of me for nothing."
"I want to make those blind family members see clearly what their beloved adopted daughter looks like."
As he spoke, Xu Jinyi looked out the window, his tone becoming more emotional. "What kind of expressions would they have when they discovered how ugly their adopted daughter, whom they had always loved, was, and that the country bumpkin daughter they had always looked down upon, was actually the one they admired?"
"I think... that would be fun."
Xinyue blinked, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
His cunning eyes turned around and around, looking at Xu Jinyi eagerly: "Sister, you told me this, aren't you afraid that I will complain?"
Looking at her chubby face, Xu Jinyi couldn't help but pinch her: "You won't!" Xu Jinyi said with certainty.
"Why?" Xinyue's eyes were bright, and she felt like she had met a soulmate.
"You and I are the same kind of people!"
"Hahaha...Sister, I love you so much."
Xinyue suddenly hugged Xu Jinyi and gave her a kiss on the face.
In the window of a certain restaurant, a pair of deep eyes stared at the scene, with a slightly furrowed brow.
When he left, he said, "When Xinyue comes back in the evening, ask her to copy the female ring ten times and give it to me every day."
Zhuifeng pursed his lips: "Yes."
When Xu Jinyi noticed someone's gaze falling on him and looked up, he found nothing and thought it was just an illusion.
