"sure."
Shopkeeper Jia immediately took out two more sets of silver needles and handed them to Shu Jiaying.
Shu Jiaying took the silver needles. One of the two pairs of silver needles was about one and a half inches long, and the other was about two inches long.
Both sets of silver needles are more suitable for areas with thicker muscles throughout the body, or for acupuncture points that require short-distance penetration.
After comparing them, Shu Jiaying finally took out the one-and-a-half-inch silver needles and asked Shopkeeper Jia, "How much silver will this set cost?"
"Is this the set you're looking at? The needles in this set are slightly thicker than the ones you just saw, so they're more flexible and less likely to bend. However, if the technique isn't mastered well, the patient will feel more pain. But the first set was different. If the technique is mastered well, the patient won't feel any pain at all. Compared to the needles you're looking at, the first set only costs nine hundred and fifty coins."
“…”
Shu Jiaying knew that Manager Jia wanted to save money for her, but it was better to buy silver needles that would make her feel comfortable using them. If she just wanted to save money and bought a pair that was not convenient to use, it would be almost a waste.
She asked Shopkeeper Jia again, "I want to know how much this set costs?"
"this……"
After glancing at Kang Ningxia and seeing her nod, Shopkeeper Jia told her the truth.
"At cost price, this set of silver needles would cost three taels of silver. Miss, I know you sold the blood ganoderma today for eight hundred coins. If you add a little more money, you can buy the silver needles I just introduced to you. And this set..."
Before Manager Jia could finish his words, Shu Jiaying took out three taels of silver from her waist.
"That's it."
"Girl, you..."
It was a little surprising that Shu Jiaying could come up with three taels of silver at once. After all, she wasn't dressed very well. However, Shopkeeper Jia was also a man who had seen the world. Based on his businessman nature, he still smiled and said, "Okay, I'll help you put the silver needle in. Miss, please wait a moment."
"Um!"
As soon as Manager Jia left, Kang Ningxia immediately put her head in front of Shu Jiaying.
"Miss Shu, you spent three taels of silver in one go. I think you don't have much left, right?"
Shu Jiaying squinted at him.
"It seems that Master Kang not only knows everything about me, but he even knows how much money I have. Since Master Kang is so powerful, I wonder if you can guess where the money comes from?"
“Cough cough cough…”
Shu Jiaying's words choked Kang Ningxia so much that his throat was almost choked by his saliva. He immediately ran to the side and coughed violently.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Shu Jiaying no longer looked at the glowing white young man.
However, an inquiring gaze remained on Shu Jiaying.
Yu Chenfeng looked at Shu Jiaying thoughtfully. He guessed that Shu Jiaying might have guessed that Kang Ningxia was the one who gave her the money, but he didn't know if Shu Jiaying could guess that Kang Ningxia was the one who stabbed her?
If he had guessed it, this kid would probably have suffered in the future. After all, people who don't say anything are the most terrifying.
Just as he was deep in thought, Shu Jiaying's words interrupted Yu Chenfeng's train of thought.
"Hmm... Let's go, both of you. Didn't you tell me to go to the Zhao family? I'm ready. Please lead the way."
After putting the silver needles that Manager Jia had packed for her into the backpack, Shu Jiaying led Yu Chenfeng and Kang Ningxia out of Zhenghe Hall.
Kang Ningxia, who was following behind, secretly pulled Yu Chenfeng aside and asked curiously, "Brother, does that Shu girl up there really not know what she's about to face? Why does she look so fearless to me? Or does she think your title of Prince Chen can protect her?"
