Chapter 2400: Chapter 2400: Expensive Ingredients
It’s not about the value, it’s a matter of pride. He, a dignified prince, having to apologize after a few words and even offer up his hair crown, was simply a great humiliation in his life.
However, if he didn’t do as Long Rui said, they might really have trouble leaving the tavern today.
Situ Dieer continued in her pretended concern, "Third Prince, by no means, if you take off your hair crown today, tomorrow you’ll become a joke in the Capital. Even if my elder sister is displeased with Dieer."
At this point, Situ Dieer turned to Xuexue and said, "Elder sister, you can take Dieer down. As long as you’re willing to let the Third Prince go, Dieer is willing to serve you wholeheartedly..."
Before Situ Dieer could finish, the Third Prince suddenly reached out, took off the hair crown from his head, and threw it onto the table in anger, saying, "Isn’t it just a hair crown? You can have it."
All over a hair crown, causing the woman he loves to weep nonstop.
The Third Prince expressed that he couldn’t do it; let others laugh if they wanted. After all, he had been living outside since he was young, unruly by nature. To him, the rules of the Imperial Family were meaningless, except for the position of the Crown Prince, of course.
Disciple Dieer was very agitated, "Third Prince, if you do this, others will make fun of you."
Third Prince: "Let them laugh! Nothing’s more important than you."
Finally, gritting his teeth, he asked Xuexue, "Princess Consort of War Prince, are you satisfied now?"
Xuexue casually picked up the hair crown from the table, gleaming in gold, obviously made of gold, nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, not bad. Take it to the pawnshop, it can fetch some money."
After speaking, she tossed the hair crown to Zi Xia behind her, saying, "Zi Xia, take this worthless thing to the pawnshop, exchange it for money, buy buns with it, take them to the City God Temple, and distribute them to the beggars, telling them the Third Prince has shown great mercy today, letting them feast to their heart’s content."
Everyone hearing this nearly fainted, unanimously thinking, Princess Consort of War Prince, are you serious? After so much effort to get the Third Prince’s hair crown, is it just to give some buns to the beggars?
The Third Prince, who had just turned and taken a few steps, stumbled almost falling to the ground.
That damned bumpkin girl dared to embarrass him, just wait and see, he certainly wouldn’t let it go, the Third Prince thought viciously as he left the tavern with Situ Dieer’s company, stumbling along.
The embarrassment caused at Drunken Sky Building today will surely be repaid a hundredfold on the War Prince and his wife in the future.
As soon as the Third Prince’s figure disappeared, Zi Xia immediately asked, "Big Miss, should the maid still take the hair crown to the pawnshop?"
Xuexue gave Long Rui a sidelong glance, "I would prefer not to pawn it, but the Prince won’t agree!"
The Prince? What does the Prince have to do with this? Zi Xia looked bewildered.
Long Rui, with a frosty glance at Zi Xia, said, "Why are you still dawdling? Hurry to pawn it! Unless you want my wife to carry around something used by another man?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Xia understood: the Prince was jealous.
"Yes, the maid will do it right away."
After speaking, Zi Xia scurried out with the hair crown in hand.
Xuexue teased softly: "Prince, see how you frightened Zi Xia?"
Long Rui: "Serves her right; a maid without any discernment."
Xuexue: "Alright, don’t be angry, the Third Prince has already left."
After this encounter, they had lost their appetite, so settled the bill and left the tavern.
The Shopkeeper at first refused to accept the silver, but Xuexue gave him a bit of wisdom, saying, "Shopkeeper, these foods are so expensive; you can endure it once or twice, but long term, when the expenses exceed the income, the tavern will surely close down. Take my advice, and accept the silver."
They had eaten very precious and costly ingredients; if this continued long term, it was only a matter of time before the tavern went bankrupt.
The Shopkeeper thought about it and agreed, finally accepting the silver.
