The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

"Princess, General Gu has left."

"What!" Princess Leyang frowned, "Gone! When did he leave?"

Just as Zheng Qianya and the others had said before, Princess Leyang had indeed always been fond of Gu Jingzhi and had vowed to marry no one else but him.

But Gu Jingzhi never had that kind of intention towards her. However, it was not that Gu Jingzhi had no that kind of intention towards her, he had no that kind of intention towards anyone, so Princess Leyang always felt that she could wait.

Gu Jingzhi has been stationed at the border with his parents for many years and can only return to Beijing once a year. But despite this, Princess Leyang has never given up. She thinks that as long as she persists, sooner or later he will notice her.

It was the same this time. After she learned that Gu Jingzhi was about to return to Beijing, she had been looking forward to meeting him with great anticipation. However, she never expected that before she met Gu Jingzhi, she heard that he brought back a woman on this trip and told others that the woman was his fiancée.

fiancée!

Princess Leyang clenched her fists. She didn't believe it, and didn't want to believe it, that she could be Brother Jingzhi's future wife.

She was eager to see what kind of vixen she was that could seduce Brother Jingzhi to marry her despite her humble status.

So she sent people to keep an eye on the Zhenbei General's Mansion and their every move, and ordered the servants to notify her immediately if they saw the woman coming out. She wanted to see what was so special about that woman.

As soon as Gu Jingzhi and Li Xi came out, they were seen by the people she sent, and then they immediately returned home to report to her. When she learned that Gu Jingzhi and the others had come to Jinxiu Pavilion, she also rushed over immediately. Unexpectedly, she was one step too late and they had already left.

Princess Leyang glanced around the store and looked at the shopkeeper in front of her with a gloomy expression, "What does that bitch look like?"

Jinxiu Pavilion's main business is to attract the attention of upper-class female guests, so it is natural that it is not completely ignorant of the gossip circulating in the circle.

The shopkeeper's eyes turned, "Princess, please don't blame me. We are in business, selling clothes. There are too many people coming and going in my shop every day, I really can't remember them all."

The shopkeeper was also a seasoned woman. She knew that no matter how she answered this question, it would be wrong, so she simply didn't answer.

Hearing her say this, Princess Leyang snorted coldly. She couldn't remember clearly. It seemed that the bitch must be very ordinary-looking. She didn't know what Brother Jingzhi saw in her.

Anyone could see that Princess Leyang had come with bad intentions, but since she had opened the door to do business, the shopkeeper couldn't chase the customers away, right? Moreover, she didn't dare to chase them away. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It was so easy to make money from this noble lady, but she was so hard to serve.

However, she did not sigh for long. She only saw a man dressed like a servant come in and whisper a few words to the maid beside Princess Leyang. After listening, the maid walked to Princess Leyang and whispered a few more words.

"What!" Princess Leyang turned around and glared at the maid after hearing her answer.

The maidservant obviously knew Princess Leyang's temperament very well, so she just lowered her head and said nothing.

"Let's go! To the Treasure Pavilion!" Princess Leyang didn't want to listen to her either. She turned around and strode away aggressively.

Seeing Princess Leyang leave, everyone else in the pavilion breathed a sigh of relief. They had all seen how difficult Princess Leyang was to serve, and they thought that she would definitely not give up this time and would not leave until she had learned clearly about what brought Young General Gu to the pavilion.

If she knew that Young General Gu bought more than twenty gorgeous dresses for his fiancée from them, she would not know what would happen, she might even vent her anger on them.

Not only were they relieved, the shopkeeper also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, this princess was known for her temper that was not easy to mess with.

"Okay, stop looking and go do what you need to do." The shopkeeper scolded the maids who were watching the fun, and when he saw that they all returned to their seats, he went upstairs to continue sorting and packing the more than 20 gorgeous dresses that he had just sold.

On the other side, the Treasure Pavilion.

The procedure was the same as in Jinxiu Pavilion. The shopkeeper first invited Gu Jingzhi and Li Xi to the second-floor wing room, and then ordered people to bring all the best jewelry in the store and show them to Gu Jingzhi and Li Xi one by one, of course, mainly to Li Xi.

Looking at each piece of exquisite jewelry, Li Xi couldn't help but marvel at the amazing craftsmanship.

However, having learned the lesson from last time, Li Xi glanced at Gu Jingzhi beside her and directly selected a few pieces without giving him the opportunity to show off his financial strength.

"Just these few."

Thanks to Gu Jingzhi, Li Xi also experienced the feeling of being a high-end VIP twice. She chose relatively simple basic styles. Although she appreciated those that were too gorgeous and complicated, she just appreciated them. They were not suitable for her.

The shopkeeper glanced at Gu Jingzhi who was standing beside Li Xi, took out the items that Li Xi had chosen from the tray, and signaled the maid beside him to pack them.

The maid took the wooden box that had been prepared long ago and put the jewelry into it one by one.

Li Xi: "Let's go, I'm hungry."

"Well, let's go. I've asked Zhang Hao to reserve a seat."

Although Li Xi had only selected a few pieces just now, the jewelry that the shopkeeper showed them were all very valuable. Although the ones Li Xi picked were not the most expensive ones, they were indeed not cheap either.

When the shopkeeper heard that they were leaving, he naturally followed them with a smile on his face and saw them off.

This time, Princess Leyang did not miss them again. As soon as Gu Jingzhi and Li Xi walked to the door, they bumped into Princess Leyang who was rushing over.

"Brother Jingzhi!" Princess Leyang's eyes lit up when she saw Gu Jingzhi.

Li Xi looked at Princess Leyang who had a loving expression on her face and raised her eyebrows, while Gu Jingzhi frowned.

Princess Leyang took two steps forward excitedly. Seeing Li Xi standing next to Gu Jingzhi, she frowned and deliberately walked between them, trying to push Li Xi aside.

Gu Jingzhi naturally wouldn't let her do that. When he saw her coming over, he immediately grabbed Li Xi's arm and took a step back.

This blatant act of distance and disdain made Princess Leyang stunned. She looked at Gu Jingzhi with a wronged look on her face and stamped her feet, "Brother Jingzhi~"

Li Xi was not angry about Princess Leyang's arrival. Instead, she looked at her and Gu Jingzhi with interest. When Gu Jingzhi saw her eyes, his face darkened.

He turned his head and looked at Princess Leyang, "Princess, please respect yourself."

"Self-respect?" Princess Leyang looked at Gu Jingzhi in disbelief and pointed at Li Xi, "Brother Jingzhi, you actually said this to me for a country bumpkin!"

Without waiting for Gu Jingzhi to answer, she looked Li Xi up and down with disgust.

"Brother Jingzhi, tell me, why is she better than me? Why do you like this country bumpkin?"
