I just want to live a good life

The shopkeeper of UBS said that he was bringing the store's treasured jade bracelet to Su Nuan. The quality of the jade bracelet was very similar to the one she was wearing on her wrist.

Su Nuan refused to believe that this was their store's treasure, because although the jade bracelet she brought out today was a dowry from Madam Xia to Xia Qingyan, the jade bracelet itself was not valuable. It was only because Madam Xia had worn it for many years that it had commemorative value.

Su Nuan put the UBS jade bracelet on her wrist, looked left and right, and showed a satisfied look.

Mei Xiang suddenly asked, "Shopkeeper, which jade bracelet is better, yours or my concubine's?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Su Nuan and replied flatteringly, "Of course it's the concubine's turn."

Meixiang continued, "Then is it possible that our concubine's jade bracelet is worth more silver?"

The shopkeeper replied: "This, of course it is."

"I like this jade bracelet very much." Su Nuan said with a smile, "Meixiang, bring the silver and let's buy it."

Hearing this, Meixiang asked the shopkeeper: "How much silver does this jade bracelet cost?"

"This jade bracelet is the treasure of our store. If it weren't for the concubine coming, I really wouldn't be willing to take it out."

"If the shopkeeper doesn't want to sell this jade bracelet, then forget it. Even though I like it, I can't force you to buy it." Su Nuan said as she took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and pretended to return it to the shopkeeper.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly said, "My Lady Concubine, you have misunderstood. It is my honor to sell this jade bracelet to you. How could I not want to sell it?"

Su Nuan said, "That's good. I don't want to buy a jade bracelet in your store and be accused of forcing me to buy it."

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and said, "How could that be! I begged the concubine to buy it but she refused!"

Su Nuan gave Mei Xiang a look, and Mei Xiang understood and said to the shopkeeper, "Okay, it's getting late, and His Highness is still waiting for the concubine. Just tell me how much silver this jade bracelet is worth."

The shopkeeper said, "This jade bracelet would cost three thousand taels of silver to sell to others, but the concubine will only need two thousand five hundred taels."

"Hmm? Two thousand five hundred taels?" Su Nuan raised her eyebrows slightly. If she were given a mirror at this moment, she would find that her raised eyebrows were very similar to someone else's.

"Do you think there is a mountain of gold in His Royal Highness's treasury?" Su Nuan said sternly, "It's ok that you made up an ordinary jade bracelet into a treasure of the store, but you dare to ask for an exorbitant price. Do you think I am a fool or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"This, this..." The shopkeeper was confused by Su Nuan's sudden change of expression.

After hesitating for a long time, he adjusted his attitude and said, "How dare I ask for such a high price from the concubine? This jade bracelet is really worth the price."

"Are you sure it's worth the price?" Su Nuan asked coldly.

"I'm sure." As the shopkeeper said this, a layer of fine beads of sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.

"Okay, then let's take this jade bracelet to other silver shops to ask for the price. If they all say that this jade bracelet is worth 2,500 taels of silver, I will assume that you did not lie to me. If someone says it is not worth it, then you are asking for an exorbitant price and treating me like a fool."

"It's not right for Concubine Concubine to do this. People say that people in the same industry are enemies. If I go to other silver shops to identify jade bracelets, they will definitely take the opportunity to frame me."

"Then who do you want to identify it? How about... I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to identify it."

Su Nuan was sure that the other party would not dare to take the jade bracelet to a colleague for identification. The things in UBS Building were much more expensive than those of other stores. If she really took it out for identification, this jade bracelet might not even be worth five hundred taels of silver.

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve and said, "How dare I trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with such a small matter? How about this? Since the Concubine likes this jade bracelet, I will give it to her."

"Don't I have money to buy your bracelet? I just don't want to be cheated by you, a profiteer!" Su Nuan said arrogantly, "You dare to ask for an exorbitant price even from me, so ordinary customers will be at your mercy!"

"It's unfair! I've been wronged so much. This jade bracelet is really worth 2,500 taels of silver in the Ruiyin Building."

Seeing that the cooking was almost done, Su Nuan winked at Mei Xiang.

Mei Xiang said, "My Lady, I have an idea. We can try to see if what the boss said is true."

"Oh? What's your idea?"

"Didn't the shopkeeper just say that his jade bracelet is a little worse than the one you wear on your wrist? Why don't you sell the jade bracelet on your hand to the shopkeeper? If he is willing to spend 2,500 taels of silver to buy it, it proves that he did not cheat you and that the jade bracelet is indeed worth the price."

Mei Xiang looked at the shopkeeper again after she finished speaking, "Of course this will give you some advantages, but the Concubine doesn't care about that."

Not only did he not get a bargain, but he also had to pay a high price for a bracelet. The shopkeeper almost cried after hearing this.

"How dare I buy the concubine's beloved things!"

Mei Xiang rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Why worry about that? You will treat it as a treasure of the store after you buy it, and you won't sell it to anyone else. When the concubine is in a good mood one day, you can buy it back."

"My lady, what do you think of this idea of ​​mine?"

"Excellent! If he doesn't want to buy it, then he thinks my jade bracelet is not worth 2,500 taels of silver. Then his treasure is even less worth the price. Then he was just deceiving me."

After saying that, Su Nuan and Mei Xiang looked at the shopkeeper at the same time.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "I'll buy it. Please wait a moment, I'll go get the banknotes."

After a while, Su Nuan happily walked out of the UBS building with two thousand five hundred taels of silver notes in her pocket.

After getting on the carriage, he did not go straight back home, but turned around and walked towards the other corner of the street.

Now that she has money, Su Nuan wants to buy the shop she likes.

But when she arrived in front of the shop, Su Nuan was dumbfounded. The original rice shop sign was gone, replaced by a new plaque with three large characters "Yipinsu" written in a flamboyant style.

Meixiang went alone to inquire about the news. She first asked the neighbors on both sides, and finally went to "Yipinsu".

It only took her half a cup of tea to get back to the carriage.

"What's going on?" Su Nuan asked anxiously.

"This 'Yipinsu' just opened today. The shop is rented. I heard that the owner of the rice shop sold the shop half a month ago. The buyer has been looking for tenants since he bought it, but he couldn't find anyone because the rent was too high. Suddenly someone rented the shop yesterday and put up the sign this morning."

After Mei Xiang finished speaking, Su Nuan said angrily, "I just promoted the 'Yipinsu' brand yesterday, and someone else registered it today. This is so unethical."

"Have you found out who the owner of this 'Yipinsu' is?" Su Nuan asked Meixiang.

"I heard that this boss has a close relationship with Miss Cheng."

Su Nuan snorted coldly, "Then it must be Cheng Ansu who is behind this."

"My Lady Concubine, there is one more thing." Meixiang said cautiously.

"what's up?"

"The signature dessert of this 'Yipinsu' is the Concubine's Cake, the style and taste are the same."

Upon hearing this, Su Nuan's face suddenly turned gloomy.
