Chen Xin barely caught it.
This is the best thing she has right now. If she hadn't seen how much Aunt Zhao treasured it, she wouldn't have brought it here.
Then I saw the man go straight into the inner room and call the shopkeeper "Master," so he must have some important connections.
"Let's go for it!" Chen Xin was somewhat reluctant. She had originally thought she could learn more, at least who this person was and what his background was. If she couldn't stand out at tomorrow's poetry gathering, she might as well settle for this man instead, which didn't seem so bad.
Although it's just a pawnshop and can't compare to the Tao family, it still needs to be compared to them.
If you need money or something to pawn, just come and get it.
Just then, a pleasant, magnetic voice came from inside, "If you ever need money in the future, just come here, and I guarantee you the best price." As Qiao Yuchen spoke, he lifted the curtain leading to the inner room, looked at Chen Xin, and smiled slightly.
That smile had an indescribable warmth to it.
Chen Xin suddenly felt petals falling, and his heartbeat instantly became uncontrollable again.
The shopkeeper was indeed twitching as he watched.
Oh no, is someone going to kill someone here?
What a pity!
Chen Xin watched for a short while before the man went back into the inner room and didn't come out. She could only leave with the six thousand taels of silver.
She needs money to buy that colorful dress so she can shine at the poetry gathering tomorrow.
As soon as she left, Qiao Yuchen came out of the inner room and glanced at Wang Yong standing next to him.
Wang Yong left quickly.
After an incense stick had burned, Wang Yong returned.
He recounted Chen Xin's whereabouts after he left.
Qiao Yuchen laughed when he heard this, "What a skill! You managed to make your half-sister so poor that she had to pawn stolen goods."
Wang Yong's lips twitched.
Master, stop talking about others. You didn't rush here in such a hurry because of a woman.
"Alright, take that dress to Chen Siyuan."
Wang Yong panicked, "Master, what's this?"
The items have all been bought by others; how can we deliver them?
Qiao Yuchen seemed to be in a good mood, and tapped him on the head with the fan in his hand, "Silly, don't I still have one treasured?"
Wang Yong was shocked.
The colorful clothes in the shop are only approximate; they cannot compare to the one that the master truly treasured.
More importantly, that colorful dress was prepared by the master for his future wife. Could it be that the master's intention is...?
Wang Yong was stunned for a long time before the shopkeeper reminded him that his master was gone.
Thinking that Chen Siyuan was their future wife, they quickly got to work.
...
Chen Xin finally bought the clothes he wanted and was overjoyed.
As she walked down the street carrying the clothes, she seemed to see every passerby casting an amazed glance at her.
At this moment, she seemed to be embracing a bright future.
It seemed as if Tao Yifan was standing right in front of him, bringing a prominent member of the Tao family to propose marriage.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin smiled.
All the recent disappointments have vanished, leaving only the longing for a better future.
As she passed a fabric shop, she saw people busy inside.
I glanced at the name of the cloth shop and knew that it belonged to Chen Siyuan.
The sale of cloth is prohibited here. No matter how good the cloth is, it is still just a piece of cloth and cannot be compared with the ready-made clothes of Wen Wan'er in the capital.
Thinking of this, I carried the clothes into the shop and sure enough, I saw Chen Siyuan and her maid choosing fabrics.
By this time, it was already late to select the materials, yet she was still able to work through the night and still make a decent garment?
"elder sister--"
The fabric shop had just received a new batch of materials, and Zhen Siyuan came over to see what kind of designs were suitable. Hearing the noise, she turned around and saw Chen Xin walking gracefully towards her.
What is she doing here?
After causing such a scene today, I'm probably too ashamed to face anyone.
She can still laugh.
Thinking about it, I glanced at the exquisite box she was holding.
This looks...somewhat familiar.
Soon, Chen Siyuan recalled a similar scene she had seen in the capital in her previous life.
Upon closer inspection, it does indeed look somewhat similar.
"Did my half-sister just buy new clothes?" If my guess was right, these clothes weren't cheap.
Given Chen Xin's current abilities, he probably couldn't even afford a handkerchief, let alone a piece of clothing.
Chen Xin was taken aback, not expecting Chen Siyuan to have such a sharp eye.
"Yes, I just bought a dress and I'm going to wear it to the poetry recital tomorrow."
Chen Siyuan nodded, "Indeed, tomorrow's poetry gathering is very important. My half-sister should put more effort into her clothes. After all, she's not naturally beautiful, so she needs to find something to make up for it with her clothes. But..." She then looked at Chen Xin carefully, "But my half-sister's conditions are really limited. I'm worried that if these clothes are too dazzling, they will make her look even uglier."
Chunlan and Chunping lowered their heads and chuckled when they heard this.
Their young lady is really something; she managed to piss people off with just a few words.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Chen Xin, who was feeling smug, got angry.
"I'm just telling the truth. We can't let outsiders laugh at our Chen family for having someone who lacks self-awareness and smear our family, can we?"
"Hmph, you should think about yourself first."
"I won't go to places that only ugly women who don't work will frequent. What if some people think they're too ugly and then commit suicide after seeing someone as naturally beautiful as me? Wouldn't that be my fault?"
"I think you just don't have a chance to go, do you?" she said, glancing at Chen Siyuan. "If you go, it might not look good if people find out you have an illegitimate child."
Chen Siyuan's heart sank.
Tao Yifan was right after all.
Many things don't need to be said; others will naturally think in that direction.
Shang Zizhen is four years old now, while I am only sixteen. Does this pig-like Chen Xin think that I had a child when I was twelve?
Even so, how could she not know someone she's with every day?
Indeed, intelligence is the biggest problem.
"Sister, don't be embarrassed. I won't tell anyone that you have a child out of wedlock. After all, it would be a disgrace to the Chen family if this got out."
Chen Siyuan laughed, her reaction was quite quick. Chen Siyuan was busy with important matters and did not take tomorrow's poetry gathering to heart.
After all, something big is about to happen, and it's good enough that we're alive. Only an ignorant person would be so smug.
"Alright, thank you for the reminder, half-sister. Next time, I can directly participate in the circle of noble ladies."
"Madam, are you not a **?"
Once outsiders find out about her illegitimate child, no matter who the other man is, Chen Siyuan will be thrown into a pig cage.
Then they will become true **people.
Chen Siyuan didn't want to say much about this matter. After all, Shang Zizhen's identity was there, and it wouldn't be good if outsiders talked about it.
Shang Zizhen's true identity is now dangerous, so she'd better be careful.
“This is not something my half-sister can worry about. I think she must have stolen something valuable when she went to the pawnshop. I advise her to be careful, since it was stolen and it won’t do her a good reputation if word gets out,” Chen Siyuan said bluntly.
