Chapter 227 Ye Susu, Obsessed with Wealth
The happiest person in the manor was Ye Susu. She hadn't expected that she had only been in the Heng Prince's manor for a short time, and while she was just a concubine, the Heng Prince had now become the Crown Prince. Her transformation from the Heng Prince's concubine to the Crown Prince's concubine meant that her son would be a prince, and perhaps...
From the moment she met Xie Shang, she was exceptionally lucky. The emperor also rewarded the physicians who went to the border, and she was given special recognition and many rewards.
The Empress knew that she had become the Crown Prince's woman, and even gave her some jewelry.
Ye Susu stroked her belly, secretly pleased, hoping she could really get pregnant. She had vomited up all the medicine, so it shouldn't affect her ability to conceive.
Now that the Crown Princess is heavily pregnant and unable to serve His Highness the Crown Prince, she must seize the opportunity to be with him and have a child as soon as possible.
Looking at her clothes and attire, which were still the same as before, Xie Shang didn't like her like this. Was it because she wasn't charming enough? Thinking of Jiang Fenghua, she was truly wealthy and extraordinary, with unparalleled beauty.
No wonder Consort Su couldn't win him over; she must find a way to attract him.
With money in hand, Ye Susu was no longer satisfied with the few outfits Jiang Fenghua had made for her. So, while Jiang Fenghua was rushing to finish making the Crown Princess's dress, she didn't want to shortchange herself and went shopping at clothing stores with her maid.
The maids who served her were assigned to her by Jiang Fenghua. They were named Qingzhu and Baolan. She didn't completely trust them, so she gave them some copper coins to bribe them. The two maids thanked her respectfully and served her attentively.
In short, she is now someone who never lifts a finger. After being cared for so long, she has become increasingly fair-skinned.
She had just strolled into a shop filled with new arrivals, and Ye Susu immediately fell in love with them. However, when she asked about the prices, she realized they were beyond her reach.
Even if she received a reward, she couldn't afford so many. She thought to herself, "The Crown Princess doesn't need to go to the streets herself; His Highness the Crown Prince will send the best to her. That's the difference between being favored and not being favored."
Ye Susu could have married into a good family and become a principal wife in the future thanks to the Emperor's reward, but she was too greedy. If she hadn't volunteered that night, Jiang Fenghua would have found another way, or perhaps she would have let Su Tingwan have her way. After all, it wasn't the first time Xie Shang and Su Tingwan had done it, and letting her succeed would only make Xie Shang hate her more.
But Ye Susu, in a moment of folly, insisted on taking this step.
Just then, she saw a violet summer dress that looked ethereal and fairy-like, and she couldn't help but say, "Shopkeeper, let me see that purple one."
Seeing that she was dressed simply, with her hair styled like a married woman's, and that she was followed by two maids who were dressed even better than her, the shopkeeper thought to himself that she might be a concubine from a wealthy family.
The shopkeeper didn't dare offend her, and he was also afraid that if she didn't buy anything, she would get the clothes dirty and he wouldn't be able to sell them. So he said, "Madam has a graceful figure and stands tall and elegant. This style suits you perfectly, and the color is also beautiful. It's made of Tencel, which is perfect for this season. I'll pack it up for you directly. This dress is like it was tailor-made for you."
Ye Susu wasn't planning to buy it, because she had already asked around and the prices were all very expensive. However, she figured she could afford it if she pooled her resources.
Just then, the shop assistant suddenly walked up to the shopkeeper and whispered a few words to him. After listening, the shopkeeper said to Ye Susu, "If Madam really likes that purple dress, we have a promotion today. As long as you like any of our clothes, you can buy one and get three free."
Upon hearing this, Ye Susu asked in surprise, "All of them?"
"Yes, I saw that you really liked the clothes in our store. You looked around several times. To be honest, we are a newly opened store and we don't have many customers. I can tell that you must be a very noble person and know many noble ladies in Kyoto, which is why I was able to offer you the biggest discount."
However, I have one condition: I hope you'll wear our clothes and promote our business. In return, I'll give you even better discounts whenever you come to our store.
Ye Susu's eyes lit up. The quality of these clothes was excellent, and with the buy-one-get-three-free offer, it was like getting four items for the price of one—this discount was incredible!
Although she was puzzled, it made sense that the shopkeeper asked her to promote the clothes. After all, she would be meeting women from prominent families in the future, and with this group of customers, the shop would make a fortune.
She didn't know any noble ladies or ladies of high society in Shengjing; the shopkeeper must have noticed that she had brought two maids with her.
Although the Crown Princess made twelve sets of clothes for her, three sets each for spring and summer, it wasn't enough.
Now that she has money, she can get four sets for the price of one, which is cheaper than finding a bargain.
It's true that the things you buy yourself are the ones you like the most.
Ye Susu casually pointed, "I'll take these four sets."
"Alright," the shopkeeper readily agreed, adding, "I don't know what size you are, madam, but we have all sizes in stock. As long as the measurement is correct, we'll pack it up for you. Or you can try it on to see if it fits."
Ye Susu naturally wanted to wear some pretty clothes and show them off, "Shopkeeper, can I try them on here?"
"Where clothes are sold, there are fitting rooms, please, madam."
Ye Susu said to the maids, "You two come in with me, or wait for me here."
“This servant will follow; serving the concubine is our duty,” the two said.
Ye Susu walked up to them and whispered, "From now on, call me Madam when we're out."
"Yes, madam."
They were too obedient, which made her uncomfortable. She always felt that they were Jiang Fenghua's spies. She said, "You wait for me here. I will come out after I change my clothes."
"Yes," the two replied. "We will guard the door for you, Madam, so that if anything happens, we won't have a good explanation when we get back."
Ye Susu wanted to ask who they were going to explain to, but in the end she held back and said gently, "Fine!" She hadn't done anything wrong, and Jiang Fenghua was even sending people to keep an eye on her; it was really ridiculous.
She was upright and honest, unafraid of being watched. This money was a gift from the Emperor, and she could buy clothes whenever she wanted.
The changing room wasn't large, but you had to go through a small door to get in. Baolan lifted the curtain, looked around, and then took the clothes from the shopkeeper to check them. "This servant will help you, Madam!"
Ye Susu took the clothes and went into the fitting room. "You guys stay here. I'm not used to having others help me. I've always been more comfortable doing things myself."
"Yes," the two replied respectfully.
When Ye Susu saw them, she felt like she was seeing two pairs of eyes, which made her feel uneasy. She closed the curtain and said, "Baolan, Qingzhu, go and bring me the other three sets of clothes so I can try them on together."
"yes."
As they left, Ye Susu touched her clothes and beamed with joy. She couldn't wait to take off her own clothes and put on this dress.
Suddenly, a man jumped out from behind and grabbed her waist.
Before she could react, the man grabbed her neck and said in a deep voice, "Don't move, or I can't guarantee I won't accidentally break it. It would be such a pity to break such a beautiful neck, Physician Ye."
Ye Susu initially wanted to resist, but Su Xuan didn't hide or conceal himself, directly showing her his face. She was so frightened that her pupils turned pale. "Su Xuan, how is it you?"
Su Xuan kissed her neck, "Isn't it me? I've been waiting for this day for so long. Don't you miss this general, Miss Su Su?"
"I am the Crown Prince's woman, let me go."
"You can shout, and I'll let you go. His Highness the Crown Prince's concubine, Ye Liang, is having an affair. I want to see if you can still be the Crown Prince's woman. If it weren't for me, do you think you would have been slept with by the Crown Prince that day in the palace..."
"It was you who did this." Ye Susu felt terrified. "Consort Su is your own sister. Why are you helping me instead of helping her?"
“Because she doesn’t deserve my help, but Physician Ye is different. Even the Emperor and Empress have praised you. You deserve my attention.” Su Xuan said softly, holding her in his arms.
