I just want to live a good life

This time, Su Nuan only brought the versatile Meixiang, which made Bitao very unhappy.

After getting into the carriage, Su Nuan told Meixiang roughly what he was thinking, because they would still need Meixiang's cooperation when they arrived at the UBS Building.

Meixiang is a smart person and she understands things immediately, which makes Su Nuan very satisfied.

The UBS Building is located on Hengsi Street, the most prosperous area in the imperial city. This street is home to various high-end shops, including the best restaurant in the imperial city. A jar of wine can be more than ten times more expensive than that of other restaurants, but it is still in short supply; there is the largest embroidery workshop, where a handkerchief can be worth ten taels of silver, but people flock to it; there is the restaurant with the most customers, and no matter how rich the guests are, they have to queue up obediently if they want to dine there.

In order to show off their status, the rich and powerful only recognize this place. For this reason, doing business on this street is as easy as making money. Businessmen all want to open their shops on this street. Su Nuan is no exception. She had already picked out a location, which is right on the corner of the street and is now a rice shop.

The rice shop here was not doing well at all, and the owner wanted to transfer the shop. As luck would have it, Su Nuan saw the sign the day it was hung up. She asked about the price, and the owner asked for one thousand and two taels of silver. She couldn't afford the money, but didn't want to give up this great opportunity, so she tried her best and finally persuaded the owner to temporarily put away the sign for the transfer.

Su Nuan gave herself a month to save up one thousand taels of silver to buy the shop, but it was extremely difficult to earn one thousand taels of silver just by selling a few pots of flowers and a few eggs.

She had no choice but to run out as the prince's concubine to "rob" the rich.

The reason why she chose UBS Building was because of a memory of her original self, Xia Qingyan.

About a year ago, Xia Qingyan's sister-in-law Yu went shopping at the Ruiyin Building with a few close friends. She saw a jade hairpin that cost two hundred taels of silver. Two hundred taels was a considerable amount of money for Yu. She had originally not intended to buy it, but she could not resist the persuasion of her friends in the same industry. In addition, the shop owner praised the hairpin so much that it was the only one of its kind, so Yu decided to buy it.

Unexpectedly, a month later, Yu's parents' family encountered some problems, and her brother came to her to borrow money. In desperation, Yu took the newly bought hairpin out to sell it, but no matter which silver shop she took the hairpin to, the offer never exceeded twenty taels.

At first, Yu thought that these merchants were unscrupulous and deliberately lowered the price, so she asked her brother to find a jade merchant he was familiar with to take a look. As a result, the merchant said that the jade quality of the hairpin was very ordinary, and the reason why it was sold so expensive was just because there was a small UBS logo on it.

Yu became so depressed because of this incident that she fell ill. After Xia Qingyan found out about this, she wanted to go to Ruiyin Building to avenge her sister-in-law, but was stopped by Xia Changze.

Xia Changze told her that it was no wonder that UBS was selling its own logo. That small logo symbolized wealth and status and was worth that much silver in this imperial city.

This incident left a very deep impression on Xia Qingyan, so when Su Nuan thought of "robbing the rich", UBS Building automatically popped up in her mind.

With a shout of "Zhang San", the carriage stopped in front of the UBS Building.

Su Nuan lifted her skirt and carefully stepped down from the carriage.

When the clerk at UBS saw Su Nuan's posture, he ran to greet her. As soon as he got up to her, he was stopped by "Zhang San"'s whip.

Perhaps frightened by Zhang San's aura, the waiter quickly stepped back, distanced himself from Su Nuan, and said respectfully, "Welcome, distinguished guest!"

Su Nuan ignored him and signaled "Zhang San" to wait outside. She entered the door of UBS Building with Meixiang's support.

At this time, the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter had already stood up and came forward to greet him. Su Nuan was dressed in an extraordinary way, and it was obvious that she was a big business owner.

"Dear guest, what would you like to buy today?" asked the shopkeeper.

Su Nuan replied calmly: "I haven't decided yet, let's look around."

The shopkeeper said, "These ordinary goods downstairs are not worthy of your status. Please follow me upstairs to choose."

Su Nuan followed the shopkeeper to the stairs. Meixiang helped lift her skirt and said, "Be careful, Concubine. The stairs here are too narrow."

When the shopkeeper heard the address, he immediately asked, "Excuse me, which family are you from?"

Meixiang frowned and replied, "From the Prince's Mansion."

The shopkeeper looked flattered and said, "It is a great honor for our shop to have the Crown Prince's concubine visit us!" The shopkeeper said with a flattering look on his face.

"Meixiang, didn't I tell you not to mention my identity casually in public? His Highness will be unhappy if he knows." Su Nuan pretended to be angry and scolded Meixiang.

"My Lady Concubine, I know I was wrong."

"No wonder this lady, the Concubine is so noble, you can tell at a glance that she is not an ordinary person. Even if this lady doesn't say it, I am guessing in my heart that you are the Concubine of the Crown Prince's Mansion."

Su Nuan seemed to be overjoyed by what he said. She gave the shopkeeper an appreciative look, then lifted her skirt and slowly went upstairs.

The things on the second floor are more high-end than those on the first floor just by looking at the way they are displayed. Various accessories are neatly placed in exquisite small boxes.

"Madam Concubine, is there anything that catches your eye?" the shopkeeper asked cautiously.

Su Nuan took a quick look and frowned slightly before saying, "All you have here are common items. There is nothing worth looking at. If you wear it outside, people will laugh at you."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly said, "These are already considered the best items in our store, but the concubine is used to seeing rare items, so naturally she doesn't like these."

"Of course, our Concubine has seen everything!" Mei Xiang said arrogantly: "Today, the Concubine is in a good mood, so she wanted to spend some money and came to your shop. Otherwise, why would she come to you to buy jewelry!"

"Yes, yes, our store is honored! It's an honor!"

"How about this, I won't make it difficult for you. After all, you don't have anything valuable here. Just take out the best jade bracelets in your store and let me see them."

Su Nuan took off a jade bracelet from her wrist, held it in front of the shopkeeper and said, "This jade bracelet was originally a pair, but I accidentally broke one of them, so I'm not used to wearing it. Just find me another one of similar quality and price."

The shopkeeper carefully took the jade bracelet, examined it carefully, then lowered his head and thought for a moment, as if he was making a great decision. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since the concubine is here, I will take out the treasure of our store. The treasure of our store is not exactly the same as the jade bracelet of the concubine, but it is 99% similar."

Afterwards, he walked into the inner hall, and after a while he came out holding a rosewood box.

Walking up to Su Nuan, the shopkeeper carefully opened the red sandalwood box and presented the jade bracelet inside to Su Nuan, "Madam Concubine, do you like this jade bracelet?"

Su Nuan took a look at the jade bracelet and found that the two jade bracelets were really similar.

She smiled slightly, took out the jade bracelet from the rosewood box, and said, "It's just what I want!"
