Chapter 247 I want to order this dress
I finally got out for a stroll, but I didn't expect to run into Gou Chunmei, the enemy of the original owner, so soon.
Gou Chunmei was wearing a gorgeous pink long dress and walked towards me gracefully.
There was a hint of arrogance and disdain in her slender phoenix eyes, and she stared straight at the clothes that had not yet been packed in the shopkeeper's hands.
"Miss, I'm so sorry. Our store has already sold this dress to this girl." The shopkeeper explained with a smile on his face and an apologetic tone.
However, Gou Chunmei ignored the shopkeeper's explanation.
She glared fiercely and said coquettishly, "Humph! Even if you have sold the things I like, they will belong to me!"
"You better return the money you took from her immediately, and I will pay you double the price now!" After saying that, she took out a bulging purse from her waist and shook it in front of the shopkeeper.
"Miss, the price of this dress is fifty thousand taels. Are you sure you want double the price?" The shopkeeper still had a smile on his face.
"What? Fifty thousand taels! You are asking for too much. Why don't you just rob it?" Gou Chunmei widened her eyes in astonishment and looked at the female shopkeeper in disbelief.
Fifty thousand taels was not a small sum for her. Although she was a daughter of an official, she only had some monthly salary. How could she come up with so much money at once to buy a piece of clothing?
However, Gou Chunmei had other plans in mind at this moment.
Because she heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had returned to the palace, she had been longing to meet him.
Moreover, she firmly believed that the prince was the benefactor who saved her life.
Therefore, no matter what, she had to carefully select a beautiful and appropriate dress and appear in front of the prince in the most beautiful posture.
Thinking of this, Gou Chunmei's attitude became even tougher.
She shouted unreasonably, "I don't care about that! I want to order this dress today, so please pack it up and send it to me."
As for the money, you can just go to Minister Gou's house and ask the housekeeper for it later! Humph!" After saying this, she angrily put her hands on her hips, looking like she would not give up until she got her goal.
A hint of hesitation and entanglement appeared on the shopkeeper's face. Her originally gentle gaze now wandered back and forth between Wang Xinyao and Gou Chunmei, as if she was caught in a dilemma.
At this moment, a guard behind Gou Chunmei suddenly took a step forward.
His face was filled with anger, his eyes wide open, and he shouted at the shopkeeper:
"How dare you! Whatever my lady asks you to do, you must do it obediently! Don't you know my lady's true identity?"
However, the female shopkeeper seemed to be frightened and stood there blankly without saying a word.
"Hmph! You ignorant person, what are you still doing standing there in a daze? Hurry up and carefully wrap up that dress and present it to my young lady!
I'm warning you, if you neglect it even a little, the consequences will be something you won't be able to bear!" Seeing the shopkeeper's lack of reaction, the guard became even more arrogant and domineering.
He placed his hands on his hips, raised his head and puffed out his chest, and continued to roar with an arrogant look, "To tell you the truth, my young lady is the princess of the Miao Kingdom!"
Hearing this, the people around couldn't help but gasp and looked at Gou Chunmei in awe.
Even the other shop assistants were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they didn't dare to breathe.
However, despite facing the threats and intimidation from the guards, the female shopkeeper still looked embarrassed.
She slowly turned her head and looked at Wang Xinyao beside her, as if waiting for Wang Xinyao's decision.
However, even under tremendous pressure, the shopkeeper finally stuck to his principles and did not easily hand the clothes to Gou Chunmei just because of the guards' scolding.
Wang Xinyao couldn't bear to see the shopkeeper in such a dilemma. She frowned slightly and took the bag of clothes from the shopkeeper without hesitation. Her movements were as quick and smooth as flowing water.
In the blink of an eye, she had packed the exquisite clothes neatly into the bag.
After completing all this, Wang Xinyao didn't even turn her head, let alone look at Gou Chunmei.
She walked hurriedly, as if something terrible was chasing her, and headed straight for the store door.
Gou Chunmei, who was very proud of her identity, finally came to her senses.
She widened her eyes in shock and looked at Wang Xinyao's departing back in disbelief.
You know, just now her guard clearly stated to everyone that he is Her Royal Highness the Princess!
But how could this ignorant woman in front of her dare to ignore her so blatantly?
"Stop! Stop right there for me!" Gou Chunmei was furious, her pretty face flushed red with anger.
She turned to the guards beside her and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Quick, surround her immediately!"
The guards who received the order did not dare to delay and took action, rushing towards Wang Xinyao like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.
At this moment, Xiao Xizi, who had been waiting outside the store, had already driven the carriage.
When he saw Wang Xinyao coming out in a hurry, followed by a group of people, he thought to himself that something was wrong.
"Madam, hurry up and get in the car!" Xiao Xizi's face was full of anxiety. While shouting, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled open the heavy curtain of the carriage.
The door curtain was suddenly lifted, revealing the spacious and exquisite interior of the carriage.
Wang Xinyao stared at the front. When she heard Xiao Xizi's call, she didn't hesitate at all. Her feet were as fast as the wind and her body was as agile as a swallow. She jumped onto the carriage steadily in one step.
At the same time, her voice was urgent and loud: "Hurry up and leave here quickly!"
It’s not that she was afraid of Gou Chunmei, but the time was not right yet and she didn’t want to have a head-on conflict with her.
After all, it is better to have less trouble than more. The most important thing at the moment is to solve the worrying drought problem.
It won’t be too late to deal with other disputes after this matter is settled.
Xiao Xizi received the order and did not dare to hesitate for a moment. He raised the long whip in his hand, drew a sharp arc in the air, and then hit the horse's back hard.
All I heard was the neighing of the horse, and it started to gallop away, pulling the carriage away like an arrow.
The wheels rolled, and in the blink of an eye, the carriage that Wang Xinyao and Xiao Xizi were riding in had driven a long distance away.
It soon disappeared at the end of the street, leaving only the gradually dissipating dust and mist lingering in the air.
"You good-for-nothings, you can't even catch a woman. What's the point of me keeping you around?"
Gou Chunmei stood in the back, her pretty face flushed with anger. Her beautiful eyes glared at the dejected guards in front of her, and she stamped her feet in anger.
She put her hands on her hips, her eyebrows raised: "Listen carefully, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find that bitch for me!
"I will definitely skin her alive and pull out her tendons with my own hands to vent my hatred!" Gou Chunmei continued to roar.
