Chapter 316 The Three Sisters-in-Law Spend Money Extravagantly
"Brother, forget it. I know you care about me, but I don't think it's necessary. This was just an accident. Don't worry, I've already made up my mind. I'll separate from those people in the backyard and live my life comfortably. I have money, so why can't I live well?"
“But…” Wang Yang was still somewhat unwilling.
"Brother, how about this? If I ever really want a divorce, I will definitely tell you. You must help me then."
"Alright then." Seeing his sister's insistence, Wang Yang had no choice but to agree. He thought that when they got back, he would give her more money so that she could live comfortably. As for Zhang Xian, with him around, he would keep Zhang Xian in check.
"Yes, thank you, brother." Wang Xi's expression was unreadable, but his voice revealed a hint of happiness.
Zhang Xian was relieved. As long as they didn't divorce, everything else could be dealt with later.
“Why are you being so polite with your elder brother? You will always be my sister. Remember that the Wang family stands behind you. You are not someone that just anyone can bully.” When Wang Yang said this, he deliberately glanced at Zhang Xian, making Zhang Xian’s face turn extremely ugly. However, since Wang Yang did not explain, Zhang Xian had no choice but to swallow his anger.
Today's events have truly humiliated him, and he can already imagine the gossip that will follow him for the next few days.
-
Several days had passed since the last incident. Because it concerned her own affairs, Xiao Siyue had been paying close attention to the Zhang family's situation. As expected, Concubine Wei died within two days. As for how she died, it was only said that she suddenly fell ill and could not be saved.
However, this might fool those who don't know the truth, but Xiao Siyue didn't believe it; Aunt Wei was in good health.
However, this did not cause much of a stir, since she was just a concubine and who would care?
Furthermore, on the second day, Madam Zhang, Wang Xi, brought gifts to the Xiao residence to apologize and went to Jiaoyan Pavilion to explain the matter.
Jiaoyan Pavilion has now reopened, and it is probably because of this incident that its business has not only not declined, but has become even more prosperous.
This might be a blessing in disguise.
Most importantly, for some reason, the empresses in the palace also learned about Jiaoyan Pavilion and even sent people to the palace to give them beauty treatments. This immediately made Jiaoyan Pavilion famous, and no one dared to mess with it anymore.
Xiao Siyue has been in an exceptionally good mood these past two days, and she's been cheerful every day.
Just as Xiao Siyue was bored and didn't know what to do, Xi Ningzhi and Qu Yin came to find her.
"Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"
"My sister-in-law and I came here today to invite you to go shopping with us," Xi Ningzhi said with a smile. They felt a little guilty for not being able to help with the matter last time, so they discussed taking Xiao Siyue shopping today and buying her some gifts.
"Okay, eldest sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, please wait a moment while I change my clothes and get ready." Xiao Siyue was quite happy.
"Okay, go ahead, no rush, take your time."
Xiao Siyue quickly tidied herself up, and the three of them went to the street together.
Xiao Siyue considered herself a woman who could buy anything, but following these two, she truly witnessed the purchasing power of women.
No matter what kind of shop it was, they would go in and browse around. Whether it was usable or not, if they found it interesting or liked, they would buy it without hesitation. Fortunately, the shop assistants could deliver these things directly to their homes, otherwise they would not have been able to take them back by themselves, even though they had quite a few people with them.
As soon as they arrived at Linglong Pavilion, Xi Ningzhi saw a set of light pink jewelry: "Sister-in-law, do you think this jewelry is especially suitable for Yue'er?"
"Yes, it's very suitable. Yue'er is young, so delicate colors like these are perfect for her," Qu Yin said, looking at Xiao Siyue.
"Hey buddy, bring me this set of jewelry," Qu Yin said to one of the shop assistants.
The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Siyue and immediately recognized her as the generous young lady from last time. Without saying a word, he took out the jewelry.
Qu Yin took a hairpin from the pile and held it up to Xiao Siyue's head: "Ningzhi, look how suitable it is!"
"Yes, yes, Yue'er was already beautiful, but she looks even more beautiful with this outfit on, just like a flower fairy from a storybook," Xi Ningzhi praised.
Xiao Siyue blushed slightly. To be honest, she had never really liked pink things before, always thinking they were too childish.
"Exactly, Yue'er is so pretty, but she's always dressed up so solemnly, it makes people almost forget that she's still a young girl who hasn't even reached marriageable age yet," Qu Yin said, shaking her head as she looked at the two simple hairpins on Xiao Siyue's head.
"Yue'er, listen to your sister-in-law. We girls should dress up nicely so that we can feel good about ourselves," Xi Ningzhi advised.
"Okay, thank you, sisters-in-law." Xiao Siyue did not refuse her two sisters-in-law's kindness.
"Buddy, pack this set of jewelry away for me, let's look at the others." Qu Yin put the hairpin back and then pulled the two of them to look at the other pieces.
"This one is not bad either, buddy, pack it up." Xi Ningzhi then took a fancy to a jade pendant with a very good color.
"And this one, it's also very suitable for Yue'er." Qu Yin also took a liking to one.
Xiao Siyue followed behind the two of them, watching them pick out many pieces of jewelry for her one by one.
"That's enough, sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, that's enough already." Xiao Siyue quickly interrupted them when she saw that they wanted to continue looking.
"It's alright, Yue'er, it's only a few pieces. You didn't have enough jewelry before. Since you're out this time, why not buy more?" Xi Ningzhi said with a smile.
Alright, seeing that the two were in high spirits, Xiao Siyue stopped talking. Anyway, she wasn't short of money.
The two were tired from shopping, so they asked the shop assistant to bring them the best items from the store, and then went to a private room to sit and drink tea while they waited.
After carefully selecting for more than an hour, the two were finally satisfied and felt it was acceptable.
"Alright, that's all for now. We'll come back to check later," Xi Ningzhi said magnanimously, then called the waiter to settle all the bills.
"Okay, I'll pack it for the guests right away."
"You can deliver all of these to the Xiao residence in Yong'an Lane."
"Yes, madam, don't worry, we'll send someone to deliver it right away." The shop assistant said cheerfully. He had really landed a big deal today. All of these items added up to more than 200,000 taels of silver. He was going to be rich now.
These are my big customers, I absolutely cannot offend them, I must serve them well.
"Hey buddy, if you ever come across any new or interesting trinkets in your shop, you can send someone to let the Xiao family know," Xiao Siyue said. The things in Linglong Pavilion are all pretty good. She doesn't go shopping much, so sometimes she misses out on good stuff.
"Okay, Miss, don't worry. If there are any good opportunities in the future, I will personally come to your door to tell you."
“Okay,” Xiao Siyue nodded.
"Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law, let's go." She was really exhausted today; she had never shopped like this before.
