Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Guo Yao cursed, "Who is this? Don't you have eyes?"

Turning around and meeting Dan Qiu's cold gaze, she was stunned at first, then looked Dan Qiu up and down.

"Tsk, I thought she was a daughter of some rich family, but it turns out she is just a wild girl of unknown origin."

Dan Qiu frowned, "You bumped into me, you should apologize to me."

Guo Yao sneered arrogantly, "What a joke! You are just a stinky girl, and you think you are worthy of me apologizing to you?"

A dark light flashed across Danqiu's eyes. Thinking that the princess was still waiting for her in the carriage, she no longer bothered with Guo Yao.

He strode to the counter and asked, "Is the item our master ordered ready?"

The shopkeeper nodded and took out a set of purple jade headwear from the cabinet behind him.

When everyone saw it, they all exclaimed, "Wow, it's so beautiful."

"This is the first time I've seen a gem of this quality. It's so beautiful."

"This doesn't look like a gem, it's more like purple jade!"

"Boss, do you have any headgear like this? Give me one too."

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am. The jewelry in our Yuyifang has always been one-of-a-kind, and purple jade is hard to come by. We don't have any extra purple jade in the shop to make another set."

When everyone was sighing, Guo Yao rushed over and asked, "I want this headgear!"

The shopkeeper reminded her silently, "Concubine Guo, this headdress already has an owner."

"So what?" Guo Yao snorted coldly and asked Dan Qiu confidently, "I'll pay double the price, and you give me the item."

Danqiu rolled his eyes speechlessly, took the headwear from the shopkeeper, checked it for defects, and prepared to pack it.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Guo Yao spoke again arrogantly, "If double is not enough, then ten times. I will pay ten times the price for the jewelry in your hand."

Dan Qiu frowned and was about to refuse again when Meng Yunshang's voice came from the door.

“Ten times is ten times, but are you sure you want to buy it?”

Guo Yao raised her head and met Meng Yunshang's half-smiley eyes. She nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course I will buy it. It's only ten times the price. It's not like I can't afford it."

When everyone saw that the person coming was Meng Yunshang, they all opened their eyes wide.

He wanted to pay his respects, but was secretly stopped by Meng Yunshang.

At this time, Meng Yunshang smiled and said, "Then please bear witness. As long as Concubine Guo pays ten times the amount of silver, this set of purple jade headdress will be hers."

Someone nodded immediately, "Of course, as long as Concubine Guo pays enough silver, we are all willing to be witnesses."

"Yes, yes, this white jade and black jade are easy to get, but this purple jade is rare in the world. If Concubine Guo doesn't want it, I can do it."

"To be honest, I want it too."

Amidst everyone's comments, Guo Yao said firmly, "I want it, and no one of you can snatch it from me."

"In that case, let's settle the payment."

Meng Yunshang winked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper immediately picked up the abacus and calculated a lot. Finally, he announced loudly, "This set of headwear is priced at 99,990 taels. Ten times the price is 999,900 taels."

"I wonder if Concubine Guo will pay in cash or in banknotes?"

"What!" Guo Yao was dumbfounded. "What kind of shabby headgear actually costs one million taels of silver?"

The shopkeeper's expression immediately changed, "Concubine Guo can't afford it?"

"I……"

Guo Yao's face turned pale. If it was only a few tens of thousands of taels, she could still grit her teeth and pay it, but it was a million taels.

Where could she get a million taels of silver, just to buy a set of headgear?

She felt like she was being played.

She pointed at Meng Yunshang and sneered, "You all did this on purpose, right? You're just talking nonsense and trying to cheat me out of money. Do you know who I am?"

"It doesn't matter who you are, but you just said you would pay ten times the price for the purple jade headpiece I ordered. Everyone heard it."

"But you didn't say that this shabby headdress originally cost ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety taels of silver."

The shopkeeper replied coldly, "You didn't ask, did you? Besides, everyone knows that in our Yufang, ordinary jewelry and head ornaments start at ten thousand taels of silver. Moreover, this is made of rare purple jade, so the original price of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety taels is not excessive."

Guo Yao gritted her teeth and deeply regretted having asked for ten times the price.

Guo Yue came at this time. When she heard the sky-high price of 999,900 taels, her legs went weak and she almost knocked on the threshold.

"Princess Yu, you've arrived just in time," Meng Yunshang smiled gently at her.

"The prince heard that purple jade can nourish a woman, so he wanted to get a purple jade headpiece for me. But before I got it, Concubine Guo took a fancy to it. I have always been a good helper. As long as Concubine Guo takes out 999,900 taels of silver, I will give it to her immediately."

Guo Yue hated Meng Yunshang so much in her heart, but she still smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sister-in-law. Yaoyao is still young and doesn't know the seriousness of her actions. I'm here to apologize to you on her behalf, sister-in-law. Please don't take it personally."

"This purple jade headpiece is extremely precious, and it is also the Prince Heng's favorite. How can Yaoyao take away what my sister-in-law loves?"

Meng Yunshang smiled harmlessly.

When Guo Yue thought she was going to quit while she was ahead, she nodded slowly, "Oh, it turns out that Prince Yu's Mansion can't afford the money."

Guo Yue: “!!!”

"Is Prince Yu's Mansion so poor? They don't even have 900,000 taels of silver. As the head of the family, can't Prince Yu make money to support his family?"

Guo Yao's eyelids twitched. Why did the prince get involved?

Besides, there are so many people watching the fun here. If the news really spreads that Prince Yu’s Mansion is poor, where will the prince put his face?

"Well, forget it. Since Prince Yu's Mansion doesn't even have a few hundred thousand taels of silver, I won't force it."

Without waiting for the Guo Yue sisters to speak, Meng Yunshang waved her hands at the people present and said, "Please cover up for Prince Yu's Mansion. After all, it is not a glorious thing for a concubine of Prince Yu to break her promise."

Someone should be.

Some people also sneered.

"Princess Heng is really good-tempered. She is not even angry at Concubine Guo's provocation."

"That's right. She was the one who insisted on paying ten times the price to snatch someone's love. Now that she can't pay, she acts like everyone is bullying her."

"Am I the only one who is surprised? Prince Yu can't even come up with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?"

"It is indeed strange. I heard that the fiefdom granted to Prince Yu by the late emperor was very rich."

"And this Concubine Guo, her elder brother is a business genius and makes a fortune every day. Didn't he give her some money as a dowry?"

"Anyway, I don't believe that Prince Yu's Mansion has no money. It must be that Prince Yu's wife doesn't want to clean up the mess for the concubine."

"Oh, I'm afraid you hit the nail on the head. Everyone knows that the two sisters don't get along."

"I'm afraid Princess Yu has long wanted to find an excuse to kick the concubine out. Isn't this the chance?"

The voices of the crowd were getting louder and louder, and each of them seemed to have grasped first-hand information from Prince Yu's Palace.

Guo Yue was so angry that her face turned blue. She wanted them to shut up, but when she met Meng Yunshang's meaningful gaze, she could only force herself to calm down.

Guo Yao, on the other hand, listened to the discussions and regardless of anything, grabbed Guo Yue and asked, "Do you really think so?"
