Shen Tangning's eyes trembled slightly. She raised her head and looked at her with a smile, slowly saying, "In that case, I should congratulate my second sister in advance."
Shen Xiwei stared at her expression, but couldn't discern anything. Her eyes darkened. Shen Tangning was just putting on an act; she might actually be feeling terrible inside!
Thinking about it this way made her feel much better.
The shopkeeper presented the jewelry, and Chi Jingyu frowned as he looked at the exquisite headdress. He estimated that such a set must cost several hundred taels of silver.
He originally thought that Xiwei would only choose one or two pieces of jewelry, which he could afford, but the price of a whole set would be a different story.
Shen Xiwei glanced at the jewelry in front of her, and with a slightly critical look, she curled her lip: "It doesn't look that great."
Chi Jingyu instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.
The shopkeeper's eyes flickered slightly, and he felt quite indignant.
The most important thing for them in doing business is to be perceptive; they naturally recommend products to customers that are within their budget.
Since she looks down on these things...
The shopkeeper smiled and suggested, "Please wait a moment, we have even better options in our shop."
He then turned to the shop assistant and winked, "Go, bring out my two prized sets!"
Shen Xiwei sat up straighter, looking quite interested.
Chi Jingyu, however, pursed his lips and remained silent.
These are all the store's prized possessions, so wouldn't the price be even higher?
Shen Tangning took in this scene and smiled slightly. It was quite a coincidence that she could see something interesting while she was out.
The store's prized possession truly lives up to its reputation.
A set of gold filigree and gemstone inlaid headdress, luxurious yet not gaudy, radiating a golden glow.
Another set of silver filigree beaded pear blossom-shaped headdresses is exquisitely elegant and eye-catching.
Even Shen Tangning thought it was really good; there was a reason why it was expensive.
Shen Xiwei's eyes lit up immediately. She picked up a pear blossom hairpin and examined it again and again, clearly fond of it.
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "You have a good eye! I guarantee that this set of jewelry is the only one of its kind in the entire capital of Yanjing. If you wear it out, you will never run into anyone!"
Uniqueness sounds even more appealing.
Shen Xiwei's eyes flickered, and she glanced shyly at Chi Jingyu: "Your Highness, shall we go with this one?"
She actually liked both outfits very much, but considering that Chi Jingyu was short of money, she could only be sensible and refrain from doing so.
Chi Jingyu braced himself and asked expressionlessly, "How much will this set cost?"
In the past, he might not have even looked at the price and would have just had it booked out, but things are different now.
The shopkeeper smiled broadly: "Young Master, it's not expensive, only nine hundred taels!"
Nine hundred taels?
Not expensive?!
Chi Jingyu's expression stiffened slightly. He slowly looked at Shen Xiwei and said, "Xiwei, this set of jewelry doesn't suit you very well."
Shen Xiwei's smile froze instantly: "..."
Shen Tangning and Chi Yan exchanged a glance. Why did this routine seem so familiar?
