Facing everyone's doubts and accusations, she is just a little girl, how can she bear it?
Seeing this, Shang Ruoyi sighed, cleared her throat, and said lightly: "I wonder if Miss Zhang can compensate Xia Xia for her clothes?"
"Silver clothes?" Zhang Ruru was stunned for a moment. Xia Ling beside her heard the words and her face changed suddenly.
"That's right. Before New Year's Day, your maid poured a whole cup of boiling hot milk tea on Xia Xia. Xia Xia didn't pursue the matter too much and let her go. Didn't your maid tell you about this?" Shang Ruo said coldly, "I'm afraid Miss Zhang's maid needs to be severely punished."
Zhang Ruru heard this and looked at Xia Ling behind her. Her voice was gentle but sharp: "Xia Ling, is what that gentleman said true?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Ling said tremblingly: "Miss, I, I don't have..."
Shang Ruoyi sneered when she heard this: "You were speaking righteously just now, and I thought you were so upright, but I didn't expect you to be a liar. Do you think the news about Tianshun won't get here? If you don't admit it, I can find the owner of the milk tea shop to confront you in the future. Do you dare?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Ling fell to her knees with a plop.
"Miss, I was just careless, I didn't mean it." Xia Ling's body couldn't stop shaking. She knew her mistress's methods very well. If she made her lose face in front of everyone, the mistress would definitely punish her severely when she returned to the mansion.
"Ms. Zhang should regulate the words and deeds of her servants. After all, a master is like her servants. If you don't know, you might think she learned this from Miss Zhang." After Shang Ruoyi finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at Zhang Ruru with suspicion.
Li Xia Xia's complexion finally improved, and she secretly felt lucky that Sister Shang was here, otherwise she would definitely become the laughing stock of the entire Beiling one day.
Zhang Ruru secretly hated him but dared not show it on her face. After all, in the capital of Beiling, everyone knew that the daughter of the Zhang family was kind-hearted and delicate. Even though she was filled with anger, she had to continue pretending. Besides, there was a distinguished guest in the room at this time. If she upset her, she would be in trouble.
"I didn't expect that my maid would make such a big mistake. I didn't discipline her well enough. I apologize to Xia Xia here." Her eyes fell on Shang Ruoyi's room, and she smiled and said, "Xia Xia is really lucky. She despised Mr. Zhang just now, but now she has a handsome cousin to protect her."
What she meant was that there was some inappropriate relationship between Li Xia Xia and Shang Ruoyi.
Li Xia Xia said angrily: "What does this have to do with you? Haven't you always wanted to marry Zhang He? You blamed me for blocking your marriage before. If I go back, I will break off the engagement with him. If you don't mind, just marry him quickly!" After saying that, she turned around and went back to the room without looking at her again.
Zhang Ruru was defeated again, and the expression on her face was almost out of control. She clenched her hands tightly around the railing and walked away in anger.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Xiao smiled and said, "Miss Li, Miss Zhang just raised the price to three thousand taels. Do you want to continue?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xia Xia shouted, "Four thousand taels!"
Zhang Ruru in the room turned pale, and looked at the woman lying on the couch behind her with a veiled gaze, and said hurriedly, "Six thousand taels!"
hiss!
Six thousand taels!
It is really too expensive to buy such a jade box. It is really a big mistake.
After calling out this price, Zhang Ruru was shocked. That was six thousand taels, no matter how many boxes she wanted to buy. She was just overwhelmed by Li Xia Xia and actually called out a price of six thousand taels.
She thought to herself: As long as Li Xia Xia increases the amount once, I will not follow suit again and will let her take out six thousand taels to be the sucker.
Seeing this, Li Xia Xia said without hesitation: "Since Miss Zhang is so determined to get it, then I won't take it away from others." She looked at Zhang Ruru and said: "I'll give it to you this time!"
What?
No addition?
Then wouldn't this hot potato fall into my hands?
If her father knew that she spent six thousand taels to buy such a piece of junk, he would definitely kick her out of the Zhang family.
She wanted to say that she was just talking nonsense, but with so many eyes watching her, wouldn't she lose face if she did that? Her father wanted to punish her.
Seeing the maid bringing the box up, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and hand over the banknote.
Zhang Ruru handed the box to the half-lying girl and said, "Take a look. Do you like it?"
The woman raised her eyelids slightly, glanced at it and said, "It looks okay, let's just leave it there for now!"
Zhang Ruru was delighted when she heard that. As long as the nobleman likes it, the money is worth it!
Even if her father knew, he would definitely blame her.
The next few lots did not fetch such high prices.
At this moment, Shang Ruoyi's eyes fell on the tray in the hands of the maid on the stage.
This is! Tianxin grass!
An extremely precious herb, its preciousness and rarity are incomparable to that of purple ginseng.
The woman in Zhang Ruru's room was also attracted.
She sat up, wearing a red fox cloak, and stared at the Tianxin grass: "No matter what, I must take a picture of this herb!"
"My dear guests, there are more than a hundred pieces of Tianxin grass. Although it has dried up, its medicinal properties have not been affected at all. It is extremely precious. The starting price is two thousand taels!"
Two thousand taels?
Just buy a dry grass?
Most people here don’t know how precious Tianxin grass is.
"You may start bidding now." Just as Shopkeeper Xiao finished speaking, Zhang Ruru's voice came over: "Three thousand taels."
What?
Three thousand taels?
Why is this piece of broken grass priced so high?
Those who understand the price of this herb, such as Shang Ruoyi, smiled and said, "What's three thousand taels?"
This Tianxin grass is called the magic grass. It can revive the dead and turn bones into flesh.
If a doctor could have a plant of this herb, he would be happier than earning tens of thousands of taels of silver.
But what does Zhang Ru Ru want her to do?
She whispered, "Four thousand taels."
"A thousand taels.
"Six thousand taels."
Zhang Ruru's face turned pale, and she whispered, "Is that man going to fight with us? He wants to get involved in everything." She said in a low voice, "Eight thousand taels."
"Ten thousand taels." Shang Ruoyi said without hesitation.
Zhang Ruru wanted to raise the price, but the half-lying woman sat up straight, her eyes full of pride. She said in a cold voice: "How dare you, a worthless person, snatch things from me? I think she is tired of living."
She looked into the distance and a familiar figure came into her sight.
It’s actually her?
She is still alive?
I gave her such a strong poison but failed to kill her!
How is this possible?
