I'll tell you the secret and let's laugh together!

Chapter 24: You are the one who got tricked, you idiot!

Seeing the fairy in his heart, who was like the moon in the sky, looking at him, Wang Anrui felt a surge of pride in his heart.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his heart - he must help this beautiful and helpless fairy out of her predicament!

"Brother Ning, this is inappropriate, isn't it? 'A gentleman's word is as good as his bond'. Since the item has already been given, how can it be taken back?"

"Isn't this going back on your word and breaking your promise? Who will dare to associate with you in the future?"

"I hope Brother Ning will think twice before acting!"

Ning Yuanzhi wanted to speak, but was stopped by the little girl in front of him.

Worried that his brainless fourth brother would fall into Wang Anrui's trap, Ning Zhiyi decided to be the goalkeeper and said directly:

"Master Wang, what you said is very strange! That thing was indeed given by my brother. If Miss Bai had accepted it at that time, we would not have any objection."

"But Miss Bai made it clear at the time that she would not accept the gift. Everyone knows that Miss Bai has always been a noble and self-disciplined person. How could she easily accept a gift from others? She just kindly offered to help keep it temporarily."

"Now, we feel that we can't always trouble Miss Bai to look after our belongings for us, so we specially asked Miss Bai to send someone to send them back to Ning Mansion."

"I never expected that such a simple and clear matter would be described in such a way that it is unbearable to hear. It is hard for me to believe in your ability to understand things!"

Provoked by Ning Zhiyi, Wang Anrui said without hesitation:

"No need to bother!" He waved his hand and said generously, "At worst, I can pay for all the gifts from Brother Ning and then give them to Miss Bai."

"Miss Bai, you can rest assured. I always keep my word. Since I said I would send you off, I will send you off sincerely and I will never regret it!"

He held his head high, his face full of pride, and enjoyed the fairy's grateful gaze to the fullest.

"Pa pa pa..." Ning Zhiyi was the first to clapped his hands, the sound was crisp and loud.

Although Ning Yuanzhi and Du Shaofeng were a little puzzled by her move, they were very supportive and applauded along with Ning Zhiyi.

"Young Master Wang is worthy of being the son of the Minister of Revenue. He really has the demeanor of a noble man!" The little girl looked sincere, with a gentle and kind smile on her face.

Wang Anrui was flattered by the compliment, and his favorability towards Ning Zhiyi increased a lot. He immediately bowed to her politely and said, "Miss Ning, you are too kind."

"I wonder how much silver those items cost?"

Ning Zhiyi smiled sincerely, "It's not much silver. Since Mr. Wang is my fourth brother's good friend, I will make the decision and cancel out all the small changes. The total is 40,000 taels of silver."

"How... much more?" Wang Anrui was shocked. The folding fan in his hand suddenly closed with a snap. He widened his eyes with disbelief on his face.

That look seemed to say: Are you robbing me?

[I'm just trying to rob you. You dared to cheat Ning Mansion of their money? You're the one being cheated, you idiot! ]

Du Shaofeng was very curious and wanted to know how much Ning Zhiyi had given as a discount, but unfortunately he did not mention it in his heart.

"Why is Young Master Wang so surprised? Could it be that you don't have so much silver? Then why were you bragging so much just now? Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?" Du Shaofeng said in a yin-yang way.

At this moment, Ning Yuanzhi was thinking to himself: Why did I have such a special affection for Bai Yaoyao and wanted her to be with me, but now when they meet again, my heart is as calm as water and there is no ripple at all?

After pondering for a long time without any solution, he decided to put the matter aside for the time being and start helping his sister achieve her goal, which was the most important thing at the moment.

He said to Wang Anrui, "If you are short of money, you can ask me for money. Although I have limited money, I can still support you a little."

Wang Anrui suddenly felt ashamed - he was the son of the Minister of Revenue, how could he be short of money!

Thinking of the beauty beside him staring at him, he suppressed his displeasure, took a deep breath and replied: "No need, I have enough money."

"Did you hear what Young Master Wang said? Hurry up and go with him to get the silver!" Ning Zhiyi turned around and instructed the servant behind him.

The servant smiled and bowed respectfully to Wang Anrui, saying, "Master Wang, please come this way."

Wang Anrui felt dizzy and didn't even bother to say hello to Bai Yaoyao. He left with a green face.

Being ignored again, Bai Yaoyao felt as if something had changed. She subconsciously wanted to escape from here and hurried away with her maid.

At this moment, a maid appeared from nowhere, with pearl flowers on her head, holding her head high and chest puffed out, looking very domineering.

She said loudly to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, our young lady wants that jade hairpin!"

The system's little science expert came online, [Host, this is the maidservant of the daughter of the noble concubine's brother. Her daughter loves the third prince. There will be a flower-viewing banquet in the palace in a few days. The master and servant came here to choose jewelry in order to outshine all the beauties at the banquet.]

[She was the one who ordered people to pour the oil on the stone that caused you and Princess Yong'an to fall into the water. This master and servant are not good people either...]

The system talked a lot, and Ning Zhiyi listened attentively. He simply sorted out the news he heard and quickly added exclamation marks to the names of the imperial concubine, the third prince born to the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine's maternal family, and others.

The world is truly amazing!

I have never seen such a weird combination. You wouldn't know until you heard it. There are few normal people in this family. All they see are melons. She is like a badger in the melon field. There are too many melons and she doesn't know which one to eat.

Just when Ning Zhiyi had just digested the two shocking pieces of news and was thinking about the old man on the subway looking at his phone, she was suddenly interrupted by the extremely impatient voice of a maid beside her.

"Shopkeeper, what are you still hesitating about? This is the banknote. Our young lady wants this jade hairpin. Hurry up and pack it up!"

The shopkeeper's forehead was immediately covered with beads of sweat, and he secretly complained: This jade hairpin must not be sold!

The shopkeeper knew this maid, who was the personal maid of the young lady in the mansion of Marquis Cheng'en. He didn't have the courage to sell fake hairpins to the niece of the imperial concubine!

"Please, please wait a moment..." The shopkeeper planned to use the tactic of procrastination. These young ladies were impatient, so he just wanted to delay the time until the young lady lost her patience.

Ning Zhiyi saw through his thoughts and whispered to Du Shaofeng in a voice that the maid could hear:

"Just now the shopkeeper seemed eager to sell the jade hairpin, but now he is hesitant again. Is he trying to raise the price?"

Although Du Shaofeng didn't know what Ning Zhiyi meant, his brain worked very quickly and he immediately cooperated:

"That makes sense. This jade hairpin is so precious. If they raise the price, it will at least double. Hiss, the merchants are really evil-minded."

When the maid heard this, she immediately became anxious. She had volunteered to buy the jade hairpin for the young lady, so naturally she could only show her value by buying the expensive hairpin at a low price.

If she allowed the shopkeeper to raise the price arbitrarily, causing her to fail to buy the jade hairpin at a suitable price, then she would be considered to have failed in her duties and would be punished by the young lady.

"Shopkeeper, my young lady often visits the Treasure Pavilion. She values ​​its reputation. If you do something you shouldn't do, don't blame my young lady for getting angry."

The shopkeeper was in a state of distress, as he could neither cry nor back off. He dared not sell, nor did he dare not sell.

"What happened?" Another voice was heard. The chief shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion came out immediately after hearing the news reported by the waiter. He did not dare to neglect the nobleman of the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion.

When the maid saw the shopkeeper coming out, she told the story with exaggeration, and emphasized that her young lady would be unhappy if she could not buy the jade hairpin.

"Come here, pack up the things and deliver them to your residence. Do not be negligent in the slightest." The chief shopkeeper gave the order without any hesitation.

"Boss, no..." The fat boss wanted to stop him, but he shut up after seeing the big boss's cold eyes.

After all, he was just a deputy manager and had no right to speak in front of the head manager.

What's more, he didn't dare tell the shopkeeper that the jade hairpin was fake. He could only hope that no one would find out. At worst, he could find a way to get the Treasure Pavilion to launch a few more new hairpins during this period of time.

These young ladies from wealthy families are always fickle-minded. Once they get a new jade hairpin, they will definitely not wear the old one anymore, so naturally no one will notice it.

The maid proudly took the jade hairpin and left. Ning Yuanzhi held it in for a long time, and finally when everyone had left, he asked in a low voice.

"Zhiyi, how did you calculate the price of those items? I don't even know the exact price of those items, but no matter how you calculate, it can't be 40,000 taels of silver, right? How much did you round off?"
