The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

Cheng Jiayao looked disdainful and said coldly, "Why do you think she climbed up to the high branch of the prince?"

"She is just a prostitute who only knows how to serve men."

Dongqing ran back home, smiled happily as he took the banknotes from the accounting office into his sleeve and put them away carefully.

Dongqing was walking through the bonsai garden full of flowers when he ran into Cheng Jiayao, who called out to him, "Dongqing, what are you doing?"

Dong Qing said, "Madam, send some money to the prince. He is out shopping with Aunt Lin, and wants to buy a lot of jewelry."

Dong Qing bent down and bowed respectfully to Cheng Jiayao, "Madam, I'll go first. The prince will be anxious soon."

Watching Dong Qing turn around and leave, Cheng Jiayao felt a little depressed. She said to Er Yue, "Go to the account office and ask how much money the prince took away?"

"Yes."

Er Yue came back soon, looking very unhappy, as if her house had been robbed: "Miss, he took away 500 taels."

"what!"

Cheng Jiayao was so shocked that her back teeth were almost broken, and her eyes showed resentment.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her ten nails dug into the flesh, leaving bright red nail marks.

Yu had discussed household affairs with her not long ago.

Yu Shi tried her best to save 400 taels for the Marquisate in a year. But who knew that Gu Huai would spend 500 taels just to go shopping with Lin Qianqian.

Cheng Jiayao held her forehead with her hand, feeling a little dizzy. Seeing that she was about to fall, Er Yue hurried forward to support her.

The lady only spends 20 taels a month, and any more can only be paid from her dowry.

In order to manage the servants in the mansion and smooth relations, she sold some of her jewelry this month, lost hundreds of taels of silver, and had no income at all. And Lin Qianqian got so much just by sleeping with Gu Huai.

Why?

She couldn't wait to destroy this concubine's prestige!

“You really don’t need to buy it.”

Lin Qianqian said again, she looked at the dozen or so beautiful jewelry on the shelf and sighed helplessly.

Gu Huai held her shoulders and said, "I want to buy them. Qianqian, I heard you tell Aunt Zhao yesterday that her pearl earrings were beautiful. Since you like pearls, I will pick out some more pearl jewelry for you."

"I think you look good in pearls, gold hairpins, jade, everything."

Gu Huai said to the shopkeeper, "Pack all these up."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't help but raise his voice, "Okay! Okay!"

"My Lord, wait a moment, I will wrap it up beautifully for you~"

Lin Qianqian turned her head and said worriedly, "It doesn't need to be so much. I'll just pick one or two. Is it really okay for you to spend so much at once? For example, won't your parents ask about it?"

Gu Huai held Lin Qianqian's hand and said, "Don't worry, my family never interferes with my spending."

Lin Qianqian thought about it and felt that this was probably the case. Otherwise, why would he spend so much money to redeem himself?

Lin Qianqian picked out three pieces of jewelry from the pile: a golden silver-gilt parallel flower hairpin, a pair of gold-inlaid pearl earrings, and a beautiful snow-white pearl hairpin.

"I want these three, nothing else."

The shopkeeper was suddenly in a dilemma. He had to put down the pile of jewelry and asked someone to pack these three items first.

Today we are looking at jewelry as one aspect, but the most important thing is another thing.

Lin Qianqian raised her head and asked, "Shopkeeper, I want to meet your boss and order some jewelry myself."

"Please go upstairs. Come here and lead Madam Lin to the second floor." The shopkeeper called the waiter to lead the way.

Seeing her walking up the wooden stairs, Gu Huai reached out to stop the shopkeeper, "Just like I said just now, pack them all up."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Gu Huai wanted to go upstairs to look for Lin Qianqian, but he was a little worried that he was gone. They didn't pack their things carefully and left something behind, so they sat in the hall waiting for Dong Qing to bring the money.

He stopped the waiter and asked him to tell Lin Qianqian that he would come to see her later.

The man raised his head and glanced at Lin Qianqian, then his eyes fell on the white paper in his hand again.

A pair of butterfly pearl earrings are drawn on white paper. However, this butterfly is not a complete butterfly, but a half butterfly on the left and right, with a small white pearl in the belly of the butterfly and a large white pearl hanging below.

The pale pink butterfly wings with gold edges are particularly beautiful and fairy-like. She marked the gem materials one by one next to them.

Another picture shows a silver ring with a small snake. The snake's scales are lifelike, especially the red eyes, which seem to be ready to spit out their tongues at any time.

"Miss Lin, I have never seen such a beautiful design."

After hesitating for a while, the man said, "I wonder if I can just buy your two drawings. I have a feeling that if they are produced in large quantities, many people will like them."

Lin Qianqian did not hide it, "It can be sold, but it depends on what price you offer."

Boss Wu laughed softly and said, "I want to buy it out directly."

After so many years in the jewelry business, I have been selling the same old patterns, and some customers dislike the old styles.

After seeing these two pictures today, he regained the passion he had when he made his first piece of jewelry.

"Ms. Lin, how about this number? This is our first cooperation, and we also need to see if this kind of jewelry sells well. If it doesn't sell well, it will be a waste of materials and time, and we, the Jade Pavilion, will have to bear the profits and losses ourselves."

Boss Wu held up two fingers.

"This, how much is this?" Lin Qianqian blinked.

Twenty? Two taels?

Boss Wu said, "Twenty taels."

At this time, Gu Huai came in. He stood beside the table, picked up the blueprint and took a look: "Qianqian, do you want to make these jewelry?"

Lin Qianqian nodded.

He smiled and said, "It is indeed better looking than what I just bought."

"Just buy what you like, and I'll pay for the rest."

Lin Qianqian raised her eyes and looked at Boss Wu: "When these jewelry are finished, I will come to pick them up in person."

"About five days, probably."

"Okay, I'll come back to discuss this with you in five days."

"Okay." Boss Wu looked at Lin Qianqian deeply and watched the two of them leave.

*

Lin Qianqian suspected that someone had first-hand information about her going in and out of the house.

Otherwise, how could she explain herself when she was summoned to Yu's place before she even had time to sit down at Xiaoxiang Garden? Cheng Jiayao, who was standing beside her, acted like a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law, feeding Yu with longan, red dates and wolfberry soup.

"Jiayao, please step back first."

"Yes." Cheng Jiayao held the bowl and placed it respectfully on the plate beside her.

Yu, who was sitting above, glanced at Lin Qianqian coldly and asked, "Did you ask Huai'er to take out 500 taels of silver to buy you jewelry?"

"You know, I only spend 20 taels a month. How dare you let Huai'er spend money on you like this!"

"Do you think the money in the Marquis' Mansion was all blown out by the wind?"

Lin Qianqian looked at her seriously, "Madam, I didn't let the prince spend money on me like this."

When Cheng Jiayao saw Lin Qianqian being scolded, the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Yu was furious, "How dare you quibble!"

"With so much money, if it wasn't spent on you, who was it spent on?"
