"A little girl with a bit of a temper is more endearing."
"It's only a thousand taels, just give it to her."
"Once she enters the palace, we'll have more than a thousand taels, we could have a hundred thousand taels."
"Your goal now is to appease her and prevent her from saying again that you are not her biological mother."
Master Qin warned, "If she enters the palace in the future and His Majesty becomes suspicious, it will be troublesome."
Madam Qin nodded, but her expression remained doubtful.
Could such a wild girl really get into the palace?
If they fail to enter the palace, wouldn't all their efforts have been in vain?
"You must make sure to keep her happy these days."
"No matter how bad her temper is, you can endure it for the sake of future wealth and prosperity."
Madam Qin responded, "Husband, don't worry, I will treat her as if she were my mother-in-law still alive."
"For your official position, for the future of your sons, and for my imperial title, I will appease her."
Upon hearing this, Master Qin was finally relieved.
Let alone a thousand taels, even if this girl had ten thousand taels, I would grit my teeth and scrape together the money for her.
Pei Zhi wasn't allowed to leave the house, and she was too lazy to argue with them.
It's okay if you can't go out, you can still spend money.
She went directly to a maid and had her bring the items to the mansion so she could choose them herself.
Is there a service fee?
What does this have to do with Pei Zhi? Anyway, it's not like she's the one paying for it.
Madam Qin watched as merchants came and went in waves.
Moreover, the way this little vixen looks is really infuriating.
For example, there's a large collection of jewelry in front of you.
Pei Zhi stepped forward and glanced at it casually.
Then he randomly pointed to about four or five pieces of jewelry.
The jewelry merchant who came to sell jewelry looked slightly stiff, assuming that Pei Zhi only wanted these few pieces.
Pei Zhi casually said, "Except for these few that are too ugly, wrap up the rest for me."
Madam Qin, who was standing to the side, gasped. She was about to say something.
Pei Zhi glanced at her and said, "Didn't you say you were going to take me to a banquet? I need to have a few decent pieces of jewelry, right?"
Madam Qin forced a smile, but the smile didn't disappear; it simply moved to the face of the jewelry merchant.
The jewelry merchant instructed his servant to carefully pack the jewelry into a box.
He said to Madam Qin, "Madam is so lucky to have such a beautiful girl."
Madam Qin chuckled twice and had no choice but to instruct her maid to take the merchant to settle the payment.
Pei Zhi carefully selected and bought jewelry, clothes, food, and other necessities.
Whether it's useful or not, she'll buy anything that catches her eye.
Madam Qin wanted to speak up and dissuade her many times, but she was afraid that if she spoke, this wretched girl would call her not her biological mother again.
Pei Zhi was a little tired after spending the whole morning selecting things.
Pei Zhi looked at Madam Qin, whose face was dark, and stepped forward.
"Mother spent a lot of money today."
Madam Qin really wanted to point her finger at Pei Zhi and ask, "So you know how to spend money?"
The money's already spent; if you throw a tantrum now, all your previous efforts will be wasted.
Madam Qin gritted her teeth and said, "It's alright, as long as my darling is happy."
Pei Zhi said sweetly, "Mother, you are so good to me."
"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you after I marry into a good family."
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin's eyes finally lit up.
Madam Qin smiled and said, "I'm so happy that you have this thought in mind."
Pei Zhi sighed, "If I don't help my mother, she will have a very hard time."
"My father is just a minor official of the fifth rank."
"My two older brothers are neither good at academics nor martial arts, and they haven't gotten married yet. My mother's family can't help them either."
Pei Zhi sighed and shook her head helplessly as she finished speaking.
"It seems that the only way for this family to be together is for me to marry into a better family."
Madam Qin was so angry she felt like she was going to grind her teeth to powder.
Madam Qin's two sons are not yet married.
When Master Qin was sent to a post outside the region, he was a high-ranking official there.
Those families with daughters were practically worn out by the constant stream of visitors.
As a result, Master Qin said that there was no rush for his sons' marriages.
They waited for him to be transferred back to the capital, where they would find a daughter from a prominent family for their son.
Daughters raised in the capital are naturally different from those raised in these small towns.
In the future, the daughter-in-law's family will also be able to help their son.
Who would have thought that after being transferred back to the capital...
Master Qin is just a minor official of the fifth rank. Who would be willing to marry their carefully raised daughter to their family?
Master Qin's two sons failed the imperial examinations several times without achieving any official rank.
The only way is to try and get a minor official position through connections.
Madam Qin gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, my dear daughter, the whole family will depend on you from now on. Now that you've married into a wealthy family, don't forget how good your mother has been to you."
Pei Zhi gave a perfunctory reply, "Alright, alright, I'm hungry, let's get ready to eat."
"By the way, we don't even have any bird's nest at home. Mother, you should have the servants go and buy some."
"I need to drink bird's nest soup, otherwise I'll age faster."
Madam Qin herself usually drinks bird's nest.
She was reluctant to drink the blood bird's nest soup, but she had no choice; the brat had asked, so Madam Qin had to agree.
"Mother will have someone buy it soon, and you can drink bird's nest soup tomorrow."
"And another thing," Pei Zhi continued, "I have far too few clothes. Please make me a few more outfits."
"Girls should dress up nicely."
Madam Qin said, "Alright, I'll have a tailor come to your door tomorrow to take your measurements and make you a dress."
"Oh, and also, the furnishings in my room don't look expensive."
“Mother, please put all the good things out of the storeroom for me. From now on, this will be my maternal home.”
"Otherwise, if I marry into a higher social class in the future, I won't want to bring my husband back to my mother's home. How embarrassing would that be?"
Madam Qin interrupted, "All the furnishings in your room are newly bought, why do you want to change them?"
Pei Zhi snorted, "New as it is, what's the use if it's worthless?"
"If I bring my husband back in the future, he'll see that the furnishings in my house are so worthless."
"They will also assume that I am not favored at home, and that I will not have much respect for you then."
This wretched girl is going to the palace. After she enters the palace, does His Majesty expect him to go back to his mother's home with her?
What a huge joke.
"After we finish eating, Mother will go to the storeroom to pick something out for you."
"Never mind," Pei Zhi suddenly said.
Madam Qin was overjoyed, thinking that this wretched girl had finally become more sensible.
Pei Zhi reached out her hand directly to Madam Qin, "Just give me the key to the storeroom, I'll go and choose it myself."
Pei Zhi retorted, "I don't like your taste."
Madam Qin held back for a long time, saying, "This is unreasonable. Only the person in charge of the household affairs can take the key to the storeroom."
