“Yao Yao, wake up.”
Early in the morning, Jiang Yueyao was awakened by her sister’s gentle voice.
“Sis, what is it?”
Jiang Yueyao clung sleepily to Jiang Yuehua.
[My sister smells so nice]
[I want to kiss her~]
Jiang Yuehua’s face flushed slightly as she rubbed Jiang Yueyao’s little head.
“The monthly stipend was issued today. How about I take you out? Whatever you want to eat, I’ll buy it for you.”
The monthly stipend wasn’t really important – it was mainly because she’d heard Jiang Yueyao mention during dinner last night that she’d never tried any of the capital’s street food…
Although Jiang Yueyao had said it casually and probably forgotten about it afterward, Jiang Yuehua wanted to take her little sister out to thoroughly sample all the capital’s various snacks.
Her sister deserved the best things in this world.
“Really?! I’m getting up right now!”
Jiang Yueyao bounced up with an excited cry, happily calling for Chunying and Xiatao to come help her wash up and change clothes.
Ah, after just a few days here, she had already grown accustomed to this decadent lifestyle of having clothes handed to her and meals served to her.
So satisfying!
(^▽^)
……
……
“Mmm, this is so delicious!”
Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Yueyao would just open her mouth whenever she spotted something tasty along the way, and naturally the maids would go buy it and deliver it right to her hands.
This…
This was too decadent… too blissful.
She didn’t even need to queue up herself – someone would directly run errands and deliver everything to her.
After eating the snacks, there was even the digestive tea her sister handed over.
This little life was absolutely wonderful.
“Stop the carriage.”
The carriage halted in front of a building. Jiang Yueyao lifted the window curtain to take a look.
“Sis, this isn’t a restaurant.”
Jiang Yuehua smiled gently.
“Of course this isn’t for eating – this is the capital’s most famous jewelry shop.”
“Our Yao Yao is so beautiful, of course she should wear even more beautiful jewelry. Come, let me buy you some pretty accessories.”
“Whatever Yao Yao likes, I’ll buy it for you.”
Although they had retrieved all the jewelry items that Jiang Yuening had taken away… the styles from the border regions couldn’t compare to the capital’s exquisite designs.
Not to mention those pieces were all many years old.
Jiang Yuehua didn’t want her little sister to make do with less, so before going out she had asked around about the capital’s famous clothing and jewelry shops, wanting to get Jiang Yueyao some new things.
[Wuwuwu, my sister is so good to me]
[But such a wonderful sister will eventually be physically hurt, heartbroken, and mentally tormented by that madman in the future – not only nearly becoming disabled but also suffering miscarriages and abortions, even causing our family’s destruction]
[No, I must protect such a wonderful sister and absolutely cannot let that madman target her!]
Jiang Yueyao was so moved she nearly shed tears.
Heavens.
These past few days she had been so immersed in this decadent lifestyle that she couldn’t extricate herself, and she had successfully arranged for the Jiang family to divide their household, which somewhat reduced the possibility of the Jiang family’s destruction from the source.
But…
The real danger was that mad male lead.
Jiang Yueyao engaged in self-reflection.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yuehua… had fallen into self-doubt.
What?
In the future, she would actually… for some madman… make herself suffer so terribly?
Even… even cause the Jiang family to be destroyed?
Their parents, older brothers, and this adorable Yao Yao… would all die because of her?Previously, Jiang Yuehua thought the Jiang family’s crisis stemmed from Eldest Uncle Jiang, from that person who wanted to frame the Loyal and Brave Marquis. But now it seemed… it actually had something to do with her?
Jiang Yuehua shook her head.
She couldn’t quite imagine herself causing such a fate for herself and her family over a man, but…
Yao Yao’s predictions should be correct.
Yao Yao would never lie to her!
So, if Yao Yao later recognized that so-called lunatic…
A dangerous glint flashed in Jiang Yuehua’s eyes, a silver needle somehow already appearing in her hand.
If she encountered that lunatic, she would eliminate him immediately!
When faced with trouble, just eliminate the source of the trouble – then naturally there would be no more trouble.
While Jiang Yuehua was still worrying about her sister being targeted by a lunatic… she had no idea that her sister was already sharpening her blades to slaughter lunatics.
……
“Wow, so, so beautiful~~”
Jiang Yueyao, who just moments ago was deeply troubled about her sister being targeted by a lunatic… instantly had her eyes light up upon entering the Treasure Pavilion.
Look at this openwork peony hairpin, and this gilded stamen crabapple pearl flower, this… this hairpin is just too dazzling.
That huge oriental pearl on it was practically blinding Jiang Yueyao.
[I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it…]
[They’re all so beautiful]
[Let me check the prices… damn, how can they be so expensive?!]
A single beaded flower hairpin actually cost five hundred taels of silver!
[Why don’t they just rob people!]
[With all the nice things father, mother, the Songbai Brothers and my dearest sister have given me these past few days, I thought I was rich]
[Never expected… to realize I’m still so poor the moment I step out]
Hearing her sister’s inner voice, Jiang Yuehua also walked over.
She glanced down at the price, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural.
At the border, you could buy a very exquisite hairpin for just over ten taels, but never expected…
The prices in the capital to be this high.
Although the jewels on the accessories did look quite precious, but… but these prices far exceeded the actual value of the jewels themselves. In short…
Jiang Yuehua awkwardly realized… she might have been boasting earlier.
It seemed she couldn’t actually let Yao Yao pick accessories freely here.
But… how should she tell Yao Yao?
While Jiang Yuehua was still struggling with this…
[Damn, my sister doesn’t look too good]
[Got it, this is like someone who won five million wanting to spend at the most exclusive club, only to find… damn, everyone here is a billionaire!]
[The consumption level at the border is definitely different from the capital’s. The money father and mother earned over the years and the rewards they received were mostly sent back and consumed by that old woman and her crew. Although we got some back this time, it’s probably just enough for the family to live comfortably – splurging would be difficult]
[Understood, so I’m still poor after all]
[Sigh, as expected, I just don’t have the fate to be wealthy]
[But… my sister is still very good to me, I can’t make things difficult for her]
[If I need money, I can just earn it myself. I refuse to believe that I, a (modern person) ***, can’t make money in this place!]
Jiang Yueyao reached out and picked up a small, exquisite beaded flower hairpin.
“Sister, what do you think of this one?”
[Even this kind of beaded flower hairpin costs three hundred taels – it’s practically robbery!]
[But it’s considered cheap here already]”Speaking of which… maybe I should go back to the System Shop and wholesale some Yiwu products. They’d probably sell like hotcakes in this world!”
Yiwu small commodities—everyone loves them once they try!
Jiang Yueyao calculated in her heart, feeling as if she had already opened a door to a whole new world.
