Those who learned that Gu Qianying had gone out, Song Yu'er and the others immediately left the manor to find her. She was very angry now, and if she found Gu Qianying, she would definitely teach her a good lesson.
"Miss, please don't be angry. It's not worth ruining your health over such a promiscuous woman."
In the high-profile and luxurious carriage.
Xia Zhu, Song Yu'er's maid, looked at her furious appearance and secretly smiled. Her plan had succeeded, but she had to maintain appearances, so she spoke to persuade her.
However, her words seemed to have the opposite effect. Song Yu'er became even angrier after hearing them, and slapped Xia Zhu back, her face filled with rage.
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I, the dignified County Princess of Xiyu City, am inferior to such a promiscuous woman?"
Xia Zhu was startled, not expecting to have said the wrong thing and touched Song Yu'er's bad luck. She immediately knelt and begged for mercy, "Miss, please forgive me. Your maid misspoke. Please forgive me, Miss."
Xia Zhu gritted her teeth, her right cheek burning, but she could only kneel and beg for Song Yu'er's forgiveness. This moody mistress was truly hard for her to handle.
"She's a woman who has slept with countless men and even has a child. Now she dares to seduce my fiancé. I think she's looking for death."
Song Yu'er's eyes turned red, feeling that Gu Qianying was unforgivable. If she found her, she would definitely throw her into the leopard enclosure of the prince's manor and make her suffer.
...
"Where on earth are you going to pick out a gift? If we keep walking, we'll have walked this entire street and still haven't found anything you like?"
Ouyang Qinglin secretly rubbed his leg, feeling a bit tired. Although Gu Qianying looked cold and didn't talk much, he knew that when this woman went shopping, she was crazier than anyone else. If there was enough time, she could walk the entire street. His head was already aching.
"Come, let's go to this one first."
Gu Qianying looked up and saw a tea shop. They had visited several shops before, looking for jade and porcelain.
But after looking around, she felt that none of them matched the temperament of Master Baili. After all, Master Baili was a businessman who traveled far and wide. What good things hadn't he seen? The most important thing now was not the quality of the item, but its creativity.
But the problem was that the items in Xiyu City seemed to lack creativity. Apart from gold and silver, they were vulgar. Even Gu Qianying found them unappealing, let alone Master Baili.
Choosing this birthday gift was proving to be a headache, and even Gu Qianying found it difficult.
She didn't know why, but she was very concerned about Master Baili's birthday, which she found strange.
"Are you sure Master Baili will like drinking tea?"
Ouyang Qinglin looked at the small tea shop tucked away in the corner with some hesitation. After all, this was Xiyu, not an ordinary place. People here thought that the tea from the Central Plains was too bitter and they couldn't get used to it.
"It's okay, let's go in and take a look."
Gu Qianying lifted her skirt and entered.
"You wouldn't understand this. Master Baili has a reputation for loving tea. Moreover, Master Baili often does business outside, so he is naturally accustomed to the taste of the Central Plains."
Gu Qianying said again before entering the shop.
As soon as they entered the shop, the owner greeted them enthusiastically.
"What would you like to see, esteemed guests? We have excellent Mingqian Longjing."
The owner brought over a bag of tea.
Gu Qianying smelled it and knew it was good tea. Just as she was about to speak and buy it, footsteps were heard from outside, and then she saw the owner's expression change.
Gu Qianying found it strange and turned to look, only to see Song Yu'er arriving.
She found it strange, wondering why this person was so persistent and followed her everywhere.
"I'll take this tea."
As soon as Song Yu'er arrived, she directly snatched the tea bag from the owner's hand and smelled it, finding it satisfactory.
When the owner saw her, he naturally dared not object and could only honestly hand over the tea bag.
After all, this was someone from the Song family. If he offended them, his small shop would not be able to stay open.
Gu Qianying looked at the owner's reaction and finally said nothing. She glanced at the tea bag, said nothing more, lowered her veil, and said, "Forget it, I'll let Miss Song have this bag of tea. Brother, let's go!"
After speaking, Gu Qianying turned and left without saying anything else, only giving Song Yu'er a glance before going out.
Song Yu'er, holding the tea bag, was furious. She asked Xia Zhu beside her, "What do you think she means by this?"
Xia Zhu could only say tremblingly, "Perhaps she doesn't take you seriously?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yu'er directly crushed the tea bag in her hand. The owner looked at the tea leaves scattered all over the ground with heartache, but he did not dare to ask Song Yu'er for compensation.
Next to the tea shop was a jade shop.
Gu Qianying thought about it and still walked in.
"Boss, do you have any carvings made of Songshan jade?"
Songshan represented longevity in the Central Plains. Giving it to Master Baili would be quite fitting.
"Yes, please wait a moment."
The boss sent a shop assistant to fetch the item and entertained Gu Qianying.
When the jade was brought back, Gu Qianying took a look and immediately fell in love with that piece of jade, decisively buying it.
"Wait."
Upon hearing this voice, Gu Qianying knew that Song Yu'er had arrived again, and she couldn't help but feel a headache. This woman was so persistent and annoying.
Gu Qianying turned to look at Song Yu'er helplessly and said, "Do you need something?"
One accidental encounter could be understood, but two accidental encounters could not be so easily dismissed, right?
Song Yu'er tilted her head and said, "This Xiyu City belongs to our Song family. Do I need your permission to buy a piece of broken jade now?"
Song Yu'er was very assertive. Her father had told her that the Song family was his greatest backing, and no one could act recklessly.
Duan Xifeng and Duan Xifeng, standing behind Gu Qianying, naturally could not stand it any longer. They stepped forward and were about to draw their swords, but Gu Qianying stopped them.
The owner of the jade shop naturally dared not sell them anything and directly presented the jade to Song Yu'er.
Song Yu'er was very smug. She held the jade and showed it off in front of Gu Qianying.
Although Ouyang Qinglin was not the type to act impulsively, he couldn't help but want to step forward and argue when he thought of Gu Qianying being wronged.
However, Gu Qianying knew that this was not the time to argue with the unreasonable woman Song Yu'er.
"Brother, don't be impulsive."
Gu Qianying remained silent for a moment. Ouyang Qinglin and Duan Xifeng behind her were almost unable to restrain themselves from attacking Song Yu'er.
