Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 491

The shop assistant approached eagerly: "Princess, would you like this large vase with orchid patterns?"

"Wait!" Shen Lingjun suddenly said, "I was the one who took a liking to this vase first!"

The waiter looked at Shen Lingjun with a bewildered expression: "...?"

Princess De'an immediately bristled like a fighting rooster: "So what if you saw it first? You didn't buy it! I'll pay double the price!"

Shen Lingjun retorted sharply, "Then I'll offer three times the price!"

Princess De'an was not about to back down: "I'll pay four times the amount!"

Shen Lingjun: "Five times!"

Princess De'an, her voice blazing with confidence, declared: "Ten times!"

Shen Lingjun seemed to choke for a moment, and finally gave in.

"Forget it, I don't want it anymore."

Princess De'an won and triumphantly ordered the shop assistant, "Why aren't you wrapping up these things for me yet!"

The shopkeeper stared in disbelief, and said blankly, "Um, Princess, ten times is... three thousand five hundred and sixty taels."

Everyone around was stunned. Upon hearing the number, they all secretly gasped.

The items in this glass building aren't particularly expensive. This large vase originally cost 356 taels, which was a fairly normal price, but it was increased tenfold, suddenly becoming an outrageous figure.

Even the finest and most precious mutton-fat jade bottle wouldn't normally cost more than three thousand taels!

Princess De'an froze for a moment, but still generously tossed a five-thousand-tael silver note to the shop assistant.

"It's just a little over three thousand taels. I can name my price and pay it!"

The shopkeeper immediately beamed and urged people to wrap up the large vase, while also giving Princess De'an change.

Princess De'an waved her hand: "No need to look for now, I haven't finished shopping yet!"

She strolled around the glass building and took a fancy to a pair of exquisite and beautiful glass lampshades.

Just as he was about to speak, Shen Lingjun interrupted him first.

"Hey buddy, I've got my eye on these lampshades."

Princess De'an was furious: "You, Shen, you're just deliberately getting back at me, aren't you? I'll offer ten times the price for these lampshades! Let's see how you try to take them from me!"

"..."

The shop assistant watched helplessly as Princess De'an spent an exorbitant amount of over a thousand taels of silver to buy the pair of lampshades.

After that, no matter what Princess De'an wanted, Shen Lingjun would compete with her for it, but he never succeeded.

Princess De'an successfully bought a set of glass ornaments, a set of glass cups and bowls, and a set of glass decorations, preventing Shen Lingjun from getting anything.

Just as he was feeling smug, the maidservant cautiously whispered a reminder:

"Princess, we don't have enough money..."

Princess De'an was startled and only then realized that she had just spent nearly 20,000 taels of silver!

The money given to her by the Prince of Jin's mansion for her to purchase things herself was almost all gone, and she only bought these few glass items!

She won't have the money to buy other things she wanted, such as jewelry, clothing, and toys!

Princess De'an froze, her face turning pale and then flushed.

But Shen Lingjun still had to ask from the side, "Princess, are you out of money? Do you want to return a few items?"

Princess De'an immediately turned around, her aura fierce: "Retreat? No way! I have plenty of money!"

But she really didn't dare to buy any more, so she quickly led her maid out of the glass building: "Let's go, we've bought everything we needed, let's go back!"
