After giving instructions to Lvluo, Chu Qing's smile was even brighter than Xu Xin's earlier.
"Sister, what did you just... say???" Xu Xin, who was standing there in a daze, instantly turned pale from blushing.
Chu Qing, looking as if she was thinking about Xu Xin, said with a smile, "I said that I asked Lvluo to calculate how much these two items cost in total. Don't you want them? I can see that my sister is so kind - hearted that she surely won't do something as cheeky as taking things for free. Although I thought about giving them to you directly, my sister would surely feel bad. So... I asked Lvluo to calculate the price."
At this moment, Xu Xin forced a smile, "Sister really thinks about me. I really feel embarrassed to accept charity. Then... please calculate, sister!"
Seeing the stiff smile on Xu Xin's face, Chu Qing tilted her body and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Lvluo, have you calculated it?"
Lvluo understood and immediately replied, "My lady, I've calculated it! This red coral is a rare treasure, worth about a thousand taels. And this night - pearl is extremely precious. Yours is even more valuable... It's worth at least one million taels!"
"One million taels?!!!" Xu Xin exclaimed.
She would feel heart - ache for a thousand taels, let alone one million taels. She didn't even dare to think about it.
"Sister, maybe I'd better not take this night - pearl... I really feel embarrassed to take something you love. Moreover, this night - pearl is so valuable, and I'm short of money. I'm not like sister who is so..." wealthy!!!
Xu Xin was almost furious.
She originally wanted Chu Qing to give it to her for free, but she actually had the nerve to ask for money? And ask for such a huge amount!
Seeing Xu Xin reluctantly and extremely carefully put down the night - pearl, Chu Qing said slowly, "How about this? After you buy this night - pearl, I'll give you this red coral directly!"
She looked extremely generous.
It was a thousand taels! Actually, she felt heart - ache too!
Xu Xin was so angry that she could hardly maintain her stiff smile. She waved her hand in a hurry, "I appreciate sister's kindness, but after careful consideration, I'll just take this red coral. I'll send someone to give you the money later. Um... sister... it's a thousand taels of silver, not a thousand taels of gold, right?" At this point, Xu Xin was almost gritting her teeth.
After hearing Xu Xin's words, Chu Qing immediately said with a smile, "Of course it's silver. Does my sister think I'm asking you for a thousand taels of gold? I'm not such a heartless person!"
"Of course I'm not worried that sister will deceive me. I'm just afraid that my thought is different from sister's... Then... sister... if there's nothing else, I'll go back first?" Only then did Xu Xin slowly heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she asked in time and found out that Chu Qing was not asking for gold.
"Go ahead, sister. If you still want this night - pearl later, you can come to me." Chu Qing said with a gentle smile.
Xu Xin forced a smile and didn't want to say another word to Chu Qing. She curtsied and immediately turned around to leave.
Watching the other person almost flee in a hurry, Chu Qing couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lvluo was also laughing so hard that she trembled, "My lady! You're really amazing! You can ask for money so justifiably without being said to be stingy!"
"I'm not really stupid and rich. Who is she? Why should I give her such precious things? Not to mention these, even ten taels or a hundred taels, I'm not willing to give her."
"My lady. You've really changed a lot! You used to give her all your good things!"
"..." Only then did Chu Qing remember that the former Chu Qing was really... stupid and rich!!!
No wonder Xu Xin was so bold to come here and pick things.
Thinking of the treasures she had given away before, Chu Qing felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife!
If there was a chance in the future, she must get them back!
Casually, Chu Qing's eyes just caught a glimpse of the night - pearl on the shelf. "Lvluo, is this pearl really worth one million taels?"
Lvluo偷笑了一下 and replied, "My lady, you've forgotten. This was accidentally obtained by the master from a foreign merchant and was specially brought for you to show off. This pearl is really valuable. When you just said you wanted me to pack it for the side princess, my heart felt like it was being sliced by a small knife!"
After hearing this, Chu Qing squinted her eyes and once again sighed that the Chu family really deserved to be the richest family in the State of Yan.
But... she didn't know who would be richer compared with the richest family in Dongyi?
"We haven't been back for a long time, have we?" Chu Qing hooked the corner of her lips.
"Yes, my lady. You... since you got married into the Prince Ning's Mansion, you've only been back two or three times... Every time the master and the mistress wrote to you saying they wanted you to go back and have a look, you always declined because you were afraid that the Prince Ning would be unhappy." Lvluo said with red eyes.
Every time she thought of the Chu Mansion, even a little maid like her missed it very much.
But her lady, who was held in the palm of the master, the mistress and the young master, obviously didn't live a good life, but rarely took the initiative to mention going back for a visit.
She didn't believe that her lady was a heartless person!
"Let's go back and have a look tomorrow." Chu Qing said.
"My lady? Do you mean we'll go back to the Chu Mansion tomorrow?" Lvluo asked with a surprised look on her face.
Seeing Lvluo so happy, Chu Qing was also touched. Maybe this was the most unforgettable feeling of this body.
She really wanted to see what the Chu family was like now.
...
In a very good mood, Chu Qing even ate an extra bowl of rice at night. After eating, she simply walked around the yard for a few circles and then prepared to rest.
As for Lvluo, she happily went to pack the things for going back to the Chu family tomorrow.
However, just as Chu Qing closed her eyes, she suddenly remembered a very important thing she had forgotten!
That was what Little Meatball had told her before. After completing a certain task, her physical constitution could be improved.
Every time Lvluo brought the medicine to her, she might remember it, but as soon as she got busy with something else, she forgot it again.
"Little Meatball!"
"Coming, coming!"
"What if I can't complete the task!" Chu Qing looked like she was ready to break the pot. She really had tried her best, but that kid Wei Ying just evaded the topic!
"Um, boss... but I think your physical constitution has already been improved! Now even if a martial artist beats you several times, you can still survive." Meatball said tremblingly.
He was afraid of accidentally offending this ancestor again.
Chu Qing's eyebrows twitched. Because the first half of Meatball's words kept echoing in her mind, she didn't hear the second half clearly at all. So Chu Qing didn't argue with Little Meatball.
She just silently accepted that, as Little Meatball said, her physical constitution had been improved.
So... when on earth did that bastard Wei Ying express his feelings to her!!!
Why didn't she have any impression of it!!!
At this moment, Chu Qing felt as if she had missed one hundred million taels of gold.
