398 Rouge (Part 2)
Liu Qinqin’s eyes were already glued to the item.
She placed her hand on the table and made a slapping sound, then impatiently took out some silver ingots from her purse and placed them on the table. “I’ll take all of this!”
Yue Jiaojiao smiled faintly and didn’t say anything.
This rouge was definitely better than the one downstairs, but the shopkeeper might not be willing to sell all of this to only one person. This way, he would not be able to publicize his reputation, and the shop would have fewer good items to keep as a secret.
As expected, the shopkeeper hesitated after hearing Liu Qinqin’s words. “Miss… To tell you the truth, this rouge is reserved for someone else, I can’t afford to offend that person. If you want it, I can sell you only one box. However, you should know that this rouge costs thirty silver per box.”
Li Xiangjun’s hand that was hanging on the table subconsciously grabbed Yue Jiaojiao’s wrist.
The rouge downstairs was only a few silver for a box. Thirty pieces of silver was enough to buy two servants who will work until their legs drop.
Shangjing is that extravagant.
“If you want it, I’ll ask the shop assistant to wrap it up for you. It’ll be forty-eight pieces of silver in total…”
Liu Qinqin’s face was burning.
It would have been fine if Yue Jiaojiao and the others weren’t by her side, but she had just seen the silver notes in the other party’s hands. However, there were only two silver ingots in her purse at the moment, and so her expression turned ugly.
When she bought things, she never knew how to control herself. This was because she knew that her father would give her pocket money tomorrow. That was why every day, she would go out and spend all the money she had on her. That way, she could have more money to spend tomorrow.
However, she didn’t expect that she would encounter a difficult person today!
The other party clearly looked weak, but her words she said made her so angry that she wanted to pass out.
As Liu Qinqin thought about it, the way she looked at Yue Jiaojiao became more and more like a knife.
Her facial features were very proper, but the corners of her eyes showed arrogance that destroyed the gentleness on her face, making her look very unruly and rude.
“I won’t buy too much from you. Just give me three boxes.”
Yue Jiaojiao placed a silver note on the table. “As for the remaining ten silver, I saw some fragrant items and lipstick downstairs. I’ll take some later.”
“It’s a good thing that you only want three boxes. If you want more, I won’t be able to give it to you.”
The shopkeeper quickly got up to help her pack the rouge and brought Yue Jiaojiao to the second floor to pick out the fragrant bottles and lip balm. After that, he wrapped everything for her and then went to get the silver notes on the table.
“Miss…” The shopkeeper was all-rounded in his business. “I’ll keep this rouge for you. As long as you want it, I’ll definitely have it.”
Liu Qinqin snorted, grabbed the silver ingots on the table, and stuffed them back into her purse.
Yue Jiaojiao and Li Xiangjun carried their things and were about to head downstairs when they missed her.
Liu Qinqin’s eyes were filled with hatred. She suddenly stood up and slammed her shoulder into Yue Jiaojiao. The force was so strong that it looked like she intended to push her down the stairs with this force.
Yue Jiaojiao and Li Xiangjun were already prepared for this. The latter pulled Yue Jiaojiao’s arm and dodged to the side. Liu Qinqin, who had missed, could not control her strength and rolled down the stairs while screaming.
“Ah-!”
The people downstairs immediately moved away.
The shopkeeper was anxious and cupped his hands at Yue Jiaojiao. “Please forgive me for my poor hospitality. Please help yourself down.”
After saying that, he rushed downstairs.
This Liu Qinqin had an overbearing personality. If something happened to her in his shop, the shopkeeper was afraid that she would deliberately find someone to take revenge.
Li Xiangjun looked worried, “Jiaojia, do you think something happened to her? I really didn’t expect her to roll down.”
Yue Jiaojiao comforted her by squeezing her hand. “Only one way to find out, let’s go down and take a look.”
The stairs were not high, nor were they steep.
She also saw that Liu Qinqin’s bag never left her hand, so she probably knew what she was doing.
With this thought in mind, Yue Jiaojiao walked down with Li Xiangjun.
“Zhao Zhan, look at them! It’s because of them that I rolled down the stairs and made a fool of myself!”
Li Xiangjun’s face was filled with shock.
Yue Jiaojiao looked at the Zhao Zhan that Liu Qinqin was talking about and raised her eyebrows. Her gaze landed on the corner of Zhao Zhan’s clothes that she was holding onto and she asked gently, “Dearest husband, why are you here?”
Zhao Zhan vigorously pulled her grip out the corner of his clothes and walked around Liu Qinqin, who was lying on the ground, to Yue Jiaojiao. “Fang Tianliu and I were just looking after the shop at the end of the street, and we just happened to see you both walking around.”
“It’s just that we didn’t know which shop you went into, so we went to each shop one by one.”
After he finished speaking, he ignored everyone’s gazes and grabbed Yue Jiaojiao’s hands, sizing her up from head to toe. “Jiaojiao, are you okay? Were you hurt?”
