Chapter 266 Sister-in-law should have been like this a long time ago
"Fourth sister-in-law, please choose whatever you want. I'll treat you." Xiao Yihang watched Chu Nanyue carefully selecting the cloth on the table, curled his lips, and said with great passion.
"Okay, then I won't be polite." Chu Nanyue teased him deliberately.
Xiao Yihang didn't take it seriously, it was just a drizzle, he had just received his salary.
Chu Nanyue quickly chose the curtains. Curtains are used to block out light, so she only needed to choose her favorite colors and patterns. But when it came to choosing bed curtains, she became noticeably more meticulous.
Her little hand slid over the cloth in front of her one by one, until she touched a piece of material that was as cool as water. Her eyes lit up. It was a piece of lavender cloth with a few crabapple flowers embroidered on it. It was elegant yet not luxurious. She liked the light touch of the material like gauze, and she also liked the crabapple flowers on it.
"Shopkeeper, do you have this fabric in other colors?"
The shopkeeper replied respectfully, "Princess Yan, this fabric comes in six colors: purple, white, green, red, blue, and black. Which color do you need?"
The business of Longyue Pavilion is very good, and all the customers are dignitaries, so it is normal for princes and nobles to come here to choose fabrics. The shopkeeper is not nervous but humble and neither overbearing nor servile. No wonder he can make Longyue Pavilion the largest fabric shop in Beixiao Kingdom.
"What a coincidence!" Chu Nanyue replied happily, "Except for black, each color can be stretched three meters by three meters."
She wanted to make the bed curtains layer by layer, which would have both charm and a sense of hierarchy.
Shopkeeper: “!!!”
Xiao Yihang: “!!!”
Xiao Tao quickly said, "Princess, tell me how many feet it is, or you can show it to the shopkeeper."
She was no longer surprised by her princess' occasional utterance of unclear words.
Chu Nanyue realized it later and gestured to the shopkeeper, who immediately understood and said respectfully, "Princess Yan, please wait a moment."
"Stop, this is mine!"
Suddenly, a woman's arrogant voice was heard.
Chu Nanyue looked back in surprise, only to see Su Han, dressed in a bright red robe, snatching a piece of pure cloth from someone. She glanced at him for a few seconds and then turned around as if nothing had happened.
As long as it's not hers.
Xiao Tao said quickly: "Princess, can you tolerate this?"
Chu Nanyue replied calmly: "What does dog-eat-dog have to do with me? Go and pay the bill."
The corner of Xiao Yihang's mouth twitched. He felt that Chu Nanyue was hinting at him. He just took out the purse from his arms, but saw the master and servant rushing towards him in one step.
"Fourth sister-in-law...Isn't it just a little bit slow...It's not that serious..." He instinctively covered his head and dodged.
"Madam!"
"Sister-in-law!"
As a result, while he was confused, the master and servant actually walked right past him.
He looked back in surprise, seeing the situation behind him, and patted his heart in fear, it turned out that he was not tickled.
He was most afraid of women going crazy.
Chu Nanyue said bluntly: "Longyue Pavilion is so big, why did Miss Su want to grab the fabric that my sister-in-law liked first?"
After Su Han saw Chu Nanyue, her face froze for a moment, but she immediately said, "Princess Yan, what you said is wrong. Everyone has seen each piece of fabric in the store at the same time. If we decide who will buy first based on just one look, wouldn't that be unreasonable? Right, shopkeeper?"
How could the shopkeeper dare to answer? He could only laugh awkwardly but politely.
Su Xi took Chu Nanyue's hand that was holding the cloth, shook her head and said, "It's just a piece of cloth. I don't like it. Since my cousin likes it, let her do what she wants. Ah Yue, let's look for something else."
Chu Ziyu was about to take the imperial examination, and she didn't want to cause trouble for him.
Chu Nanyue didn't think too much about it. She saw that the high-end crescent-shaped white fabric in her hand was a perfect match for her elder brother. It must be bought by Su Xi to make clothes for her elder brother, so she said directly: "But this princess likes it, Xiao Tao pays!"
Although she said this to Su Xi, her eyes were directed at Su Han.
Without waiting for Xiao Tao to make a move, Xiao Yihang threw the purse in his hand over and said, "Boss, pay the bill!"
The shopkeeper immediately took the purse respectfully: "Yes, Prince Chen."
Chu Nanyue looked at Su Han, who was furious, and raised her eyebrows and said, "Miss Su is right. It would be inappropriate to decide who will buy it first just by taking a look. But now we have paid for it, why won't you let it go? If we get caught, we will ask you for compensation."
"It's just a piece of cloth, how can I not afford to compensate for it?" Su Han glanced at Su Xi and said unwillingly.
Why is she still so high and mighty when she is stuck in the mud and is a withered woman?
How come she, who has no self-respect, can still be protected by so many people?
"One thousand taels! Pay it!" Chu Nanyue sneered and said disdainfully.
"One thousand taels? Ten times? How dare you, Princess Yan, raise the price?" Su Han said in astonishment.
It was clearly only a hundred taels, but Chu Nanyue, who was so shameless that she couldn't even get rid of it with a knife, dared to ask for a thousand taels. Did she really think that her money came from the wind?
Chu Nanyue said disapprovingly: "I am the princess's boss. If you can't afford to pay for it, don't touch it. I have already kindly reminded you just now. What do you mean by crying poor now?"
"You..." Su Han was choked by Chu Nanyue's naked sarcasm and was speechless for a moment.
Su Xi suddenly raised her voice and said, "Since I can't afford to pay, then I won't argue with you. But after this incident, I have to take it as a warning. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am."
After she finished speaking, she exerted a little force with her hands and snatched the crescent-shaped white cloth that matched Chu Ziyu very well. She handed it to her personal maid Lu Ping and said, "Take it home and dry it in the sun. Make sure there is no unpleasant smell left to disturb your appetite."
Chu Nanyue's eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law should have done this a long time ago. Your status is higher than Miss Su's, why did you let her bully you?"
When she said this, Su Han was so angry that he had a heart attack.
Su Xi nodded and said, "Originally, your eldest brother wanted to take the imperial examination, and I didn't want to cause trouble for him, but some people became even more aggressive. Since that's the case, I won't swallow my anger anymore."
Su Han's face turned pale and he snorted.
Chu Nanyue smiled: "What? Are you not convinced? Then why don't you go and cry to Prince Ning?"
It would have been fine if this had not been mentioned. When Su Han mentioned this, she became even angrier. Originally, Prince Ning wanted to marry her as his wife, but when Princess Nan Ye came, he had other ideas and actually wanted her to be a concubine.
Although a concubine is also a concubine, how could she be willing to give up the position of Ning Wang's wife which is within her reach?
So, she took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "If Princess Yan is concerned about my affairs, she might as well worry more about herself. Princess Nanye has always been thinking about Prince Yan!"
Chu Nanyue blinked her eyes and said disapprovingly: "Don't bother Miss Su with this matter. This is a private matter between this princess and my prince."
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Suddenly, a sound of applause came from outside the door, and Chu Nanyue looked up.
She saw Xiao Hanye's tall figure walking towards her with big strides.
