Su Li scoffed, "Why? I saw something first, so what? I bought it first? As the daughter of a dignified Shangshu Mansion, don't you even understand the principle of first come, first served?"
Then he said meaningfully, "Or does Miss Zhang Er just like other people's things?"
He sneered in his heart: He is indeed worthy of being Princess Rongfu's dog. He can bite people automatically even when his owner is not around.
"You, what did you say? Why do I like other people's things?" Zhang Ruying was extremely angry.
She knew that the princess liked Lord Pei and hated Su Li, the bitch who was getting in the way of her plans. She had originally wanted to make things difficult for this bitch in order to please the princess, but she had actually shot herself in the foot and ended up being humiliated by her!
She said angrily, "I'll say it again, Mr. Zhao has no wife now, and he and I are not married! He is not what you call 'someone else's'!"
"Miss, please be careful with your words..." The maid behind her was very anxious. The girl was not married yet, how could she be so outspoken and say in such a place that she was unmarried to another man?
However, Zhang Ruying was so angry that she had lost her mind, so how could she care about these things?
The two jewelry shop assistants who were following beside him didn't dare to make a sound.
They knew Miss Zhang Er, the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and a frequent visitor to their place, but they did not know Su Li and the others. However, anyone who dared to speak to Miss Zhang Er in such a way must be of a status not lower than hers.
In short, no matter who these two people are, they can't afford to offend them, let alone stop the fight, so they just pretend to be dead.
Fortunately, there were not many customers in the shop at that time, and the jade crown was placed in a corner, so no one noticed anything unusual. The two of them secretly exchanged glances, intending to report to the shopkeeper for handling if anything was wrong.
Su Li smiled faintly: "Did I say anything? I just said that you like the jade crown I want to buy. What about Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li, or the man being unmarried and the woman being unmarried? What is Miss Zhang talking about?"
"You!" Zhang Ruying realized she was being tricked. Her chest heaved violently with rage, her face twisted. She said viciously, "Don't be so proud. You've hindered the princess's good fortune. I want to see how long you can be so proud!"
She snorted coldly and walked out of the jewelry store. The two maids behind her hurriedly followed.
The servant who had been following her hurriedly saw her out: "Goodbye, Miss Zhang Er..."
Su Li curled up the corners of her mouth. Listening to what Zhang Ruying meant, she realized that she had known for a long time that Princess Rongfu had taken a fancy to Pei Ji, and she also knew why the princess was targeting her. They really were birds of a feather.
Xiao Wu said angrily, "Madam, it's really abominable that Miss Zhang has been looking for trouble time and time again!"
"She's just a brainless person, why get angry with her?"
What's more, she was only bringing shame upon herself.
Su Li didn't want to say more, so he said to the waiter, "Pack up everything, Xiaowu, go pay the bill..."
"Yes, ma'am."
After paying the money, Xiao Wu took the jewelry she bought and went out. She continued to browse the clothing store, still the Mingyue clothing store of the Yu family. Su Li bought two sets of dresses, and also bought two sets of clothes for Pei Zhao to wear when he returned to the Jiguo Mansion to attend the birthday banquet in three days.
Seeing that it was getting late, he simply went to Mingyue Restaurant for dinner before returning home.
After returning to the mansion, she sent her third son to the Haohan Academy to inform Pei Zhao that he was going to attend his great-grandmother's birthday banquet...
It had just rained last night and the weather had become much cooler.
Early in the morning, after Su Li had dressed and made up, Pei Zhao also returned from the academy.
"Mom!" He was very happy to see Su Li and threw himself into her arms.
Su Li raised the corner of her mouth and touched his little head. This little guy is so cute.
"Come, put on your new clothes, and let Sister Xiao Ye tie your hair for you later."
"Okay!" Pei Zhao got out of Su Li's arms and helped her change into new clothes. Then he sat in front of the dressing table in Su Li's room and asked Xiao Ye to tie his hair.
The hair crown she used was also bought by Su Li at Mingyue Jewelry Store a few days ago.
"My Lord, it's done!"
Xiao Ye quickly tied his hair and picked him up from the chair.
Su Li looked at the little girl wearing new clothes and with her hair tied neatly in a bun, and her eyes suddenly flashed with amazement.
He sighed, "What a handsome young man..."
I have to say that Pei Zhao can grow up like this because of his parents' good genes.
Pei Zhao was a little shy, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face. He laughed and said, "Mom is pretty too, prettier than Zhao'er."
Su Li tapped his nose, raised her eyebrows and smirked: "Who's prettier, your dad or your mom? You can't say they're both the same."
"Mom is pretty, of course mom is pretty!"
Pei Zhao did not hesitate.
"Hahaha!" Su Li was quite satisfied with this answer. In a very happy mood, she pinched Pei Zhao's face and said, "Good son, you have good taste!"
"Of course, hehe..."
Xiao Ye and Xiao Wu on the side couldn't help but laugh too.
The mother and son packed up and went out.
They arrived early, and it was not yet time for the Duke of Ji's Mansion to receive guests, so there were only two guards guarding the door.
Seeing them, the gatekeeper saluted respectfully: "Young Madam, Little Prince, the old lady asked you to go directly to the main courtyard after you return."
Su Li nodded: "Okay."
Then he took Pei Zhao in and went straight to the main courtyard, with Xiao Ye and Xiao Wu following behind.
Passing by the garden, I happened to meet Liu Furong who was giving orders.
Seeing her, Liu Furong immediately gave her a blunt instruction: "Ali, you've come at the perfect time. There's something wrong with the ingredients the kitchen bought. Go with Butler Liu to check it out. The old lady's birthday banquet must not go wrong."
hehe!
Su Li sneered inwardly.
She was wondering why he had to order his subordinates to do something in the middle of the garden. It seemed like he was waiting for her there.
It would be fine if he used the old lady's birthday party to pressure her, but he also ordered her around like the mistress of the house, really thinking she was easy to control.
Su Li looked at her with a half-smile and said, "I remember that Butler Liu is the purchasing manager of the mansion, right?"
Butler Liu on the side quickly replied respectfully, "That's right."
He was actually a little afraid of Su Li. The night he cleaned up all the shops on the street was still vivid in his mind. Whenever he thought of it, he felt sore all over.
He didn't dare to go against her anymore, but for the sake of his future, he had to obey the lady's orders.
Only by tricking Su Li into handling the purchase of ingredients and framing her for making mistakes in the mansion, thus causing the old lady to be disgusted, will the lady continue to use him.
However, thinking that Su Li would make a mistake in the mansion and be scolded and hated by the old lady, Butler Liu suddenly became impatient. After all, Su Li had made him suffer a lot before, and he would be happy to make her suffer.
Su Li pretended to frown and said dissatisfiedly, "Tsk! How can a purchasing manager make mistakes even in his own responsibilities? He is so incompetent, it is better to replace him with someone else as soon as possible."
