Chapter 229 Shen Zhihua was tricked
"What's wrong with hitting you? I'm hitting you, the lowly servant who offended the noble!"
Mu Xiaoxiao said domineeringly.
"If you dare to say another word, I'll slap you again!
As she spoke, Mu Xiaoxiao raised her hand again and threatened.
The maid stretched her neck, suppressed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, and turned to look at her master.
Shen Zhihua walked forward leisurely, carrying the pregnant woman.
"I haven't paid for it yet, so how can you say you bought it? Now I offer you a hundred taels of silver, which is higher than your price. Of course, this parrot is mine!"
As she spoke, a smug look filled her eyes.
"Otherwise, ask the parrot seller who he's selling it to."
The parrot seller was just a small foreign trader, how could he dare to offend so many noble people?
He turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao in panic and said apologetically:
"Madam, I'm just a small merchant. This parrot will go to the highest bidder. Since the Crown Prince's concubine is willing to pay a higher price, I can only sell the parrot to her. I'm sorry."
Mu Xiaoxiao stomped her feet in anger.
"We clearly agreed on this just now, why are you going back on your word?"
Shen Zhihua glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao proudly, touched his long nails, and said arrogantly:
"Thank you. This parrot is mine."
As she spoke, she took out a silver note worth one hundred taels and handed it to the man selling the parrot.
Mu Xiaoxiao was not convinced and wanted to raise the price again, but Shen Li quickly stopped her.
He whispered a few words close to her ear, and Mu Xiaoxiao's anger subsided by half.
The next second, Mu Xiaoxiao spoke.
"Five hundred taels! I'll give you five hundred taels!"
When Shen Zhihua heard this, her eyes widened.
What? Mu Xiaoxiao actually bid five hundred taels?
How dare he challenge her, the daughter of the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince's concubine!
She bid without hesitation, and her price was even higher than five hundred taels of silver.
"Six hundred taels!"
When the parrot seller heard this, he was so excited that he almost fainted.
He was rich, he was going to be rich! The bird he bought for a single ounce of silver was sold for a whopping six hundred ounces.
Just as he was about to make the deal, Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at Shen Li and followed up.
"Seven hundred taels!"
Shen Zhihua became even more dissatisfied.
This is not a matter of money, it is a matter of face.
If she was challenged and didn't buy it, wouldn't that make her a laughing stock?!
Shen Li understood Shen Zhihua's temper, so she asked Mu Xiaoxiao to challenge her so that she could spend more money to buy the parrot.
"One thousand taels!"
Shen Zhihua touched his pocket and challenged with his face raised.
There was a sudden cry of surprise from all around.
The Prince's Mansion is so rich! They actually spent a thousand taels of silver to buy a bird.
Shen Li nodded at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and suppressed a smile: "Since the Crown Prince's concubine wants this parrot so much, then I won't take it away from her. I hope this parrot can bring good luck to her."
After saying that, she took Shen Li's hand and left.
When they walked out of the crowd, Mu Xiaoxiao and Shen Li finally couldn't help laughing.
He laughed so hard that his waist was bent and tears came out of his eyes.
"Shen Li, how do you know that if I drive up the price, Shen Zhihua will follow suit?"
Shen Li stopped smiling and stood up straight.
"I understand her! After all, we've lived in the same mansion for over a decade! She's always been competitive and cares about her reputation. If you challenge her in public, she'll definitely save face. If she doesn't follow suit, then she's not Shen Zhihua."
Mu Xiaoxiao gave Shen Li a thumbs up.
"Amazing, amazing! You can see people so well!"
On second thought, Mu Xiaoxiao felt lost again.
She sighed.
"But we didn't buy the parrot."
"Don't worry, we will find other gifts." Shen Li said with a smile.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Yes, I believe there are even better gifts waiting for us to discover!"
After a moment, she remembered what Shen Li said in her ear and asked, "Are you sure you can let Shen Zhihua shoot herself in the foot?"
Shen Li nodded.
"Shen Zhihua has never liked small animals. She must have bought this parrot to give to the Crown Prince so that he could present it to the Emperor and please him.
If we can convince this parrot to obey us, the emperor will be furious when they present their tribute, and they will suffer the consequences!"
Mu Xiaoxiao was still very worried.
"How can we make the parrot listen to us? Shen Zhihua must have taken it back to the Prince's Mansion after buying it. I'm afraid we won't be able to see it even if we want to."
Shen Li curled his lips and smiled.
He gently patted the back of Mu Xiaoxiao's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, I have a way, just wait and see."
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Li in confusion.
Seeing Shen Li's confident look, she nodded heavily.
"It's getting late. Let's go back and look for gifts another day."
After all, today is Yun Chenyu's birthday, and Shen Li also has to go to Dingsen Carpentry Shop to inspect the wheelchair that was customized a few days ago.
Mu Xiaoxiao was still reluctant to leave.
She took Shen Li's hand and said, "How about we eat out before going back? I know there's a great new restaurant in the capital with a lot of fresh food."
Shen Li frowned.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm afraid I can't today. I can't eat outside."
"Why? Is there anything special today?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked with her eyes wide open.
"Today is Yun Chenyu's birthday, I have to rush back to have dinner with him. Wait until next time, I'll treat you next time."
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted.
"Well, since it's Prince Chen's birthday, then you should hurry back. I won't delay you two from showing off your affection. I'll go eat by myself first!"
After saying that, she glanced at the maid behind her and left.
After Mu Xiaoxiao's back disappeared from sight, Shen Li instructed Qingluan:
"Let's go to Dingsen Carpentry Shop and take the wheelchair back."
"Yes."
……
At the gate of Prince Chen’s Mansion.
As soon as the butler saw Shen Li coming back, he immediately came to greet him.
"Princess, you are back."
Shen Li nodded and then ordered: "Quickly call two people over to take the things off the carriage. Be careful not to damage them."
"Yes."
The butler quickly called the two servants at the door, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and moved the wheelchair down.
"Princess, did you buy a chair?" The butler asked casually, not noticing at first that there were four wheelchairs under the chair.
"This is a wheelchair. Move it to Qingsong Courtyard quickly." Shen Li said, "This is custom-made for the prince."
"it is good."
The housekeeper and two servants carefully moved the wheelchair to Qingsong Courtyard.
At this moment, Yun Chenyu was half lying on the bed reading a military book.
He heard the noise in the yard and immediately asked, "What's going on outside?"
The guard standing by the door replied respectfully, "It's the princess. She's here with a chair."
"Chair?" Yun Chenyu was wondering when he heard Shen Li's crisp voice.
"Hurry up and help the prince out to see the birthday gift I gave him~"
