Chapter 480: "Former best friend" takes advantage of the ending is very satisfying, looking forward to Jun Wuxian coming to the rescue

Xu Qingqing walked around the store and saw a green silk dress, which was the latest model in the store.

Xu Qingqing was an old customer, and the shop owner knew that she was General Xu's daughter and a wealthy person, so he tried his best to promote this new skirt.

"Ms. Xu, this skirt suits you very well." The shop owner said with a smile.

Xu Qingqing really liked it. Just as she was about to ask the boss to pack it, a flattering female voice came from behind her: "Qingqing, long time no see."

Xu Qingqing turned around and saw the woman in light green clothes, Zhang Yiner, her best friend who she had been close to before entering the palace.

Originally, the two people had unknown identities and had no intersection. Zhang Yiner used to embroider some handkerchief sachets and sell them on the street. Xu Qingqing took a fancy to the handkerchiefs she embroidered, and they became acquainted after a few interactions.

Zhang Yiner is good at coaxing people and often makes Xu Qingqing very happy. Xu Qingqing is always generous to her friends. Whatever Zhang Yiner likes, Xu Qingqing will buy it for her as long as she has enough money.

Zhang Yiner came over with a flattering smile and took Xu Qingqing's hand, "Qingqing, I find that you are getting more and more beautiful."

Xu Qingqing looked Zhang Yiner up and down. She used to be much thinner than herself, but now her clothes were very tight and she looked obviously plumper.

"You seem to have gained weight."

Zhang Yiner's face froze for a moment, then she smiled and said perfunctorily, "Everyone gets fatter after giving birth. When you have a baby in the future, you will definitely get fatter too."

Xu Qingqing said: "Not necessarily. The Crown Princess didn't gain weight after giving birth to a dragon and phoenix twin. She has a great figure. If I give birth to a child in the future, I won't let myself gain weight."

Zhang Yiner originally just wanted to perfunctorily respond but she didn't expect to be hit so hard. She had never seen a Crown Princess before, so how could she know whether she was fat or thin?

When she saw the green silk skirt in the shop owner's hand, she liked it very much immediately. She held Xu Qingqing's hand as she did before, and spoke in a coquettish and flattering tone.

"Qingqing, this skirt is very beautiful and suits me very well."

In the past, as long as she said she liked something, Xu Qingqing would buy it and give it to her without saying a word.

Xu Qingqing felt Zhang Yiner's thicker waist, then looked at the green silk skirt in the shop owner's hand, which was a figure-flattering one.

"How can it be suitable? This skirt is suitable for thinner people. Look at your waist. It will be too tight and look ugly in it."

Zhang Yiner was furious when she heard this, but in order to get the skirt, she did not dare to lose her temper. Instead, she smiled and said, "I am a little fat now, but I will lose weight after a while, Qingqing, we are such good friends, right?"

Caixia couldn't like Zhang Yiner anymore. In the past, she always asked the lady to buy this and that for her. She was so thick-skinned.

"Miss, it's getting late. We should go back."

"That's right." Xu Qingqing looked at the boss, "Pack this up."

Zhang Yiner smiled flatteringly when she heard this, "Qingqing, how about we go have dinner together later?"

Xu Qingqing agreed readily, "Okay, if you want to treat me, I won't refuse. Let's go to Fengxian Restaurant. The food there is most to my taste."

"Ah?" The smile on Zhang Yiner's lips froze. Just a simple meal at Fengxian Restaurant would cost several taels of silver, and she would have to embroider for a year to earn that much.

"Qingqing, you see I didn't bring any money with me today. You treat me this time and I'll treat you next time, okay?"

Xu Qingqing frowned, "You didn't bring any money, but you still wanted to have dinner with me?"

Zhang Yiner smiled awkwardly: "Qingqing, didn't I tell you to go eat with you? You must be so lonely eating alone."

At this time, the shop owner came over with the packed clothes, smiling, "Miss Xu, these are the clothes you wanted."

Zhang Yiner happily reached out to take it, but when she was about to get it, Xu Qingqing took it away halfway. She looked at Xu Qingqing in confusion, "Qingqing, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Xu Qingqing told Caixia, "Pay the bill."

Caixia took out her purse, took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the shop owner.

"Qingqing, let me get the clothes." Zhang Yiner said as she stretched out her hand again but found nothing.

"No need, Caixia, just take it." Xu Qingqing handed the clothes to Caixia.

Caixia took it happily and held it tightly in her arms. She almost thought that the lady was going to give it to Zhang Yiner again.

Zhang Yiner looked at Caixia holding the clothes and was afraid that she would forget to give them to her when she went out.

"Qingqing, give it to me. Caixia must be tired carrying it."

Caixia snorted: "How can I be tired when I carry things for the young lady? This is not the first time I go out shopping with the young lady."

Zhang Yiner thought to herself that it was a good thing that she was more careful, otherwise Caixia would not have given it to her.

"This was bought for me by Qingqing. How can I let Miss Caixia take it?"

Caixia held it and refused to give it to her.

Zhang Yiner had no choice but to look at Xu Qingqing and asked with a smile: "Qingqing, can you tell me if this is for me?"

Xu Qingqing pointed at the pink dress and asked, "Yin'er, what do you think of this pink dress?"

When Zhang Yiner saw the pink skirt, she immediately wanted Xu Qingqing to buy it for her. "It's pretty. It's a good idea to buy this one."

"I like it, too." Xu Qingqing looked at Zhang Yin'er and said with a smile, "I bought you so many clothes and jewelry. Isn't it too much for you to buy me a piece of clothing?"

Zhang Yin'er owns this shop. If she buys clothes from it, she can't sell them for less than 10 taels of silver. She has to sew handkerchiefs for two years to earn 10 taels of silver.

"Qingqing, it's not that I don't want to buy it, it's that I don't have any money on me, how can I buy it for you?"

The shop owner smiled and said, "We are all acquaintances, so we can settle the bill."

Zhang Yiner glared at the shop owner. She was not stupid, so she paid the ten taels of silver.

Xu Qingqing looked at me, Zhang Yiner, with a smile, "Yiner, you can pay the bill."

"Qingqing, don't you have to pay off your debts? Where do I get that much money? I embroider those few handkerchiefs I make every day, and they can't even provide me with basic food and clothing." Zhang Yiner started to cry as she spoke.

Xu Qingqing looked at Zhang Yiner and started crying, just like before, trying to win her sympathy.

"Okay, okay, let's go to Fengxianlou for dinner."

Zhang Yiner wiped away her tears and said, "Qingqing, you are so kind and my only friend."

Xu Qingqing: “…” He’s my only friend, the only friend who acts as an ATM.

Xu Qingqing read modern storybooks and learned a lot of modern words, but Zhang Yiner treated her like an ATM, only taking out money but not making any.

Fengxian Wine House is a place Xu Qingqing often visits, and the shopkeepers all know her.

Following the waiter to the private room, Zhang Yiner started ordering food as soon as she sat down.

"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Crystal Pork Knuckle, Steamed Abalone, Ginseng Black Chicken Soup..."

Xu Qingqing heard that the dishes Zhang Yiner ordered were all signature dishes and the most expensive ones. She just watched without saying anything and let her order.

After Zhang Yin'er ordered the dishes she wanted to eat, she asked Xu Qingqing, "Qingqing, what do you want to eat?"

Xu Qingqing said: "That's all. I'm not picky."

Zhang Yiner turned to the waiter and said, "Then I'll have another serving of steamed pork with preserved vegetables."

"Okay." The waiter took the menu and left.

After the dishes were served one after another, Zhang Yiner couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up the crystal pork elbow and put it into the bowl.

Xu Qingqing ate slowly and looked up at Zhang Yiner, who looked as if she hadn't eaten for several lifetimes. But then again, with Zhang Yiner's family conditions, they couldn't afford to eat at Fengxianlou. She had been in the palace for so many years, and Zhang Yiner probably had never been there once.

After Xu Qingqing finished her meal, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, stood up and was about to leave.

Zhang Yiner saw that there were still a lot of dishes left and asked hurriedly, "Qingqing, you don't want to eat anymore?"

Xu Qingqing smiled and said, "Take your time to eat. Don't be in a hurry. You can pack up the food if you can't finish it."

Zhang Yiner nodded happily, "Qingqing is right, I won't be polite then."

Xu Qingqing curled the corners of her lips, retracted her gaze and walked out.

Before leaving, Xu Qingqing said to the shopkeeper, "I'm leaving first. Zhang Yin'er will settle the bill."

She learned this trick from a storybook. Thinking of Zhang Yiner's expression when she had to pay so much money, she felt refreshed.

The shopkeeper smiled and sent Miss Xu away, then turned and went up to the private room on the second floor.

The waiter checked the abacus and said, "Miss Zhang, the total is eighteen taels of silver."

"Go find Miss Xu to settle the bill. By the way, pack all this up." Zhang Yiner pointed at the dishes that were mostly left on the table. She planned to pack them up and take them back for her husband to try, as he had never eaten the food at Fengxianlou.

"Mrs. Xu asked you to settle the bill."

The shopkeeper's light words made Zhang Yiner stunned.

"Impossible, how could Qingqing let me pay the bill? Whenever Qingqing and I came here to eat before, it was always Qingqing who treated us." Zhang Yiner said as she stood up and walked out.

The store owner shouted angrily, "You want to dine for free? Someone, stop her."

Two burly men stopped Zhang Yiner at the door.

Zhang Yin'er had never seen such a situation before, and her legs went limp with fear. "What do you want to do?"

The shopkeeper said, "Pay the money for the meal and I'll let you go."

Zhang Yiner burst into tears immediately, "I am just an ordinary woman, where can I get so much money?"

The shopkeeper said, "Then it's none of my business. If you bring the matter to the government, I'm right."

When Zhang Yiner heard that she had to go to the government office, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

On the bustling street, Xu Qingqing walked happily.

Caixia said happily: "Miss, I find that you have become smarter."

Xu Qingqing adjusted the embroidery on her temples and said proudly, "I have always been very smart, okay?"

Caixia nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, Miss has always been smart. It's just that I wasted a lot of money, but it's all worth it."

Xu Qingqing snorted: "I was young and ignorant before. Now it's not that easy to take advantage of me."

Just as the two were talking and laughing, a man suddenly rushed over from the opposite side and snatched the package from Caixia's hand.

"How dare you steal things in the street under the feet of the emperor? You are so brave." When Xu Qingqing saw her favorite skirt being snatched away, she immediately chased after him.

Caixia was hit hard. When she came to her senses, she saw the young lady running away. She hurriedly chased after her, "Young lady, young lady."

Xu Qingqing chased the robber all the way into the alley and saw that he had no way to retreat. She picked up a wooden stick on the ground. Although she didn't have much martial arts skills, it was more than enough to deal with a small thug.

Just as Xu Qingqing was about to beat the robber with a wooden stick, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck. Her eyes went dark and she passed out.

The staggering body was hugged by the man behind her.

Mei Yisi walked over waving a folding fan, looked at Xu Qingqing who had fainted, and smiled wickedly: "Take her away."

After a while, Caixia could no longer see Xu Qingqing and looked around but couldn't find her.

Looking at the busy streets, Caixia immediately burst into tears.

"Miss, Miss, where have you been?"

When Xu Qingqing woke up, she found herself in a carriage, because the sound of wheels was all around her ears.

The back of my neck still hurts, which shows how ruthlessly the other party attacked me.

There was a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth, so she couldn't make any sound.

She suddenly thought of kidnapping and human trafficking. Either way, it was not a good thing.

It can't be that unlucky, right?

It would be great if Jun Wuxian was here.
