After Reincarnating, the Ice-Cold Prince Won't Leave Me Alone
Chapter 54: It’s the ultimate use of moral kidnappingChapter 54 simply uses moral kidnapping to the extreme
Shen Mingjiao also saw Gu Danxue standing behind Xu Ningyue and the others.
She frowned suspiciously. It stands to reason that with Gu Danxue's temperament, even if she really rejected her invitation, she wouldn't be able to turn around and appear with Xu Ningyue, whom she didn't deal with, unless she didn't know it at all.
When Gu Danxue saw her, his eyes lit up, and he blinked quietly at her.
She wanted to come over, but she glanced at Xu Ningyue with an ugly face, but she didn't dare.
Seeing this, Shen Mingjiao became more and more sure that there should be something hidden in it, but seeing her like this, she couldn't bear to embarrass her, so she just smiled at her as a greeting.
Then I continued to buy and buy. I have to say that there is a certain reason for Jinxiufang to be the largest in the capital where nobles gather. At least there are many good-looking clothes and accessories.
Shen Mingjiao picked out several clothes that she thought were good along the way, and even picked out a white jade hairpin for Feng Lisheng that seemed to suit him very well.
Xu Ningyue stared fixedly at Shen Mingjiao's figure who kept buying and buying, and bit her lower lip angrily,
Especially when she saw her casually picking up a water-red white butterfly wearing a floral chest-length skirt, her heart trembled with anger.
It was a piece of clothing that she had long set her eyes on, but it was a pity that the price was too high. Although her father was a tutor, she had many brothers and sisters in her generation, so she looked glamorous on weekdays.
But now she saw Shen Mingjiao so easily bought the dress she had been longing for. She was bleeding with hatred in her heart,
Shen Mingjiao, why should she?
But Shen Mingjiao's identity is different now, no matter how angry she is, she can only hold back, and can only watch the other party leave, turning her head and involuntarily venting all her anger on Gu Danxue.
Until Shen Mingjiao completely walked away, Su Qing, who had been standing behind a screen, came out slowly. She patted Xu Ningyue's shoulder, whispered something by ear...
Shen Mingjiao went down to the first floor, and there were still many people in the lobby. The female attendant followed her with a large stack of packed clothes, instantly attracting a lot of attention.
You must know that those who can afford to shop on the second floor are either rich or expensive, not to mention she bought so many.
But Shen Mingjiao rarely went out before, and not many people really knew her.
The female shopkeeper sitting in front of the counter glanced at the things Shen Mingjiao bought, and the abacus in her hand flicked, and finally said with a smile:
"The total is three thousand and forty-nine taels. Since you bought a lot, I will give you an integer, three thousand taels."
Everyone gasped, even though they were not badly born, but coming to a place like Jinxiufang would cost a few hundred taels at most.
Shen Mingjiao didn't care, and took out a stack of banknotes from her purse with her usual expression.
But at this moment, Xu Ningyue went downstairs and stopped in front of her: "Princess, please wait a moment."
Shen Mingjiao glanced at her unexpectedly, "Is there something wrong?"
Xu Ningyue clenched her palms tightly, then raised her head, looked at her hesitantly, and finally seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, summoned up the courage to speak:
"My lord, do you think it's appropriate for you to spend money so recklessly as the wife of King Su?"
Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows, and she became a little interested in an instant: "Are you talking about it, why is it inappropriate for me to spend my husband's money?"
Xu Ningyue pointed at her in disbelief when she heard the words,
"How can you say such a thing? Do you know how many border guards don't have enough to eat every year? And how many soldiers don't even have a cotton coat to keep out the cold in winter! Do you know that every penny you spend now is The money was bought by His Royal Highness Su with his blood and life on the battlefield, but you, as the wife of His Highness Su, squandered the money he bought with his life, don’t you feel ashamed?"
What she said was a bit blunt at first, but at the end of Ke Yue's words, it seemed that even she herself believed it, and her tone became more and more intense.
When she called out the voice Su Wangfei. The originally noisy hall suddenly fell silent. After listening to her words, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Mingjiao unconsciously.
One reason is that this beautiful and wealthy woman is actually the rumored arrogant and domineering Princess Su,
Perhaps because of Shen Mingjiao's poor reputation, after hearing Xu Ningyue's words, everyone instinctively brought them in.
Furthermore, Feng Lisheng was originally the dreamer of many young girls, so almost everyone looked at Shen Mingjiao with condemnation at this moment.
The more I look at it, the more I feel that a person like her is not worthy of His Highness King Su.
Haitang blushed angrily, but he was stupid and didn't know how to refute.
Feeling the unkind eyes from all directions, Shen Mingjiao not only didn't feel angry, but looked at Xu Ningyue with great interest,
Tut! If it wasn't for the wrong timing, she would have wanted to applaud this girl.
Look at how well this is said! She just spends a little money to buy a few clothes and can get them on the border guards, which is the ultimate use of moral kidnapping.
However, if she is so artistic and level, it doesn't look like Xu Ningyue, an idiot who only bullies the weak and fears the tough, can say it.
She said with a smile: "It sounds like Miss Xu's words seem to make sense."
Looking at Shen Mingjiao whose expression was still composed, Xu Ningyue couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but blurted out: "Why are you so calm?"
However, what Shen Mingjiao said next made her turn pale.
"It's just... I heard that last year the imperial court allocated a total of one million taels of silver to the border guards, and according to this amount, it is absolutely impossible for the border guards to not even have a decent cotton coat in winter as you said, but... if I remember correctly , it seems that the person responsible for escorting these silver taels is your elder brother."
She smiled meaningfully: "No wonder you know so clearly?"
These words are short of saying that her brother has unwittingly handed over the money to the border guards.
Xu Ningyue took a step back in shock, and pointed at her with trembling fingers: "You...you are talking nonsense!"
Even if she doesn't understand political affairs, she still knows that embezzling military pay is a capital offense.
The rest of the people were also stunned, not understanding how it was involved in official corruption!
Standing on the second floor and witnessing all this, Su Qing clenched the jade pendant in her hand tightly in anger.
What a bunch of idiots, believe what Shen Mingjiao says.
Not to mention that it is impossible for the imperial court to allocate so much money to the border, but Xu Ningyue's elder brother is responsible for escorting the two rings, who would have the guts to embezzle it!
Shen Mingjiao was indeed trying to scare them, but it wasn't enough. She casually glanced at the direction of the second floor, and then asked Xu Ningyue, "Tell me, who told you that just now?"
Xu Ningyue panicked, gritted her teeth and sneered, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Shen Mingjiao raised her lips: "You don't understand, do you?"
She casually untied a sachet at her waist, opened it, and a refreshing fragrance came to her face. She deliberately moved to the tip of Xu Ningyue's nose and shook it:
"Do you know what this is? This is a mantra incense that I bought at a high price from merchants in the Western Regions. As the name suggests, as long as you smell this incense, you have to tell me the truth obediently."
Xu Ningyue didn't believe that there was any mantra in this world at all, she raised her head and was about to taunt her, when she met Shen Mingjiao's eyes, she was taken aback for a moment, and then lost her mind uncontrollably,
Shen Mingjiao stared into her eyes, and asked again: "Who told you to say that just now?"
Xu Ningyue replied blankly: "It's Sister Su Qing."
Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows, and continued to ask: "Oh, why did she do that?"
Xu Ningyue: "Because Shen Mingjiao married His Highness King Su, she felt aggrieved and wanted to ruin Shen Mingjiao's reputation."
Everyone was in an uproar and was shocked again, but Su Qing's usual celebrity management was so good that many people didn't want to believe it.
Said that this designation was a means of concubine Su's emissary to slander Miss Su Qing's reputation.
Su Qing, who was standing on the second floor, stiffened and stared at Xu Ningyue through the railing. He knew that Xu Ningyue would not betray her under such circumstances. What must Shen Mingjiao do?
She wanted to stop Xu Ningyue from continuing to speak, but if she appeared in this bone eye, wouldn't it confirm Xu Ningyue's words.
For a while, she could only continue to hide on the second floor with a stiff face.
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Shen Mingjiao continued to ask: "Who is the person you hate the most?"
Xu Ningyue said directly: "Shen Mingjiao."
Everyone: "..." They kind of believed that Xu Ningyue was really telling the truth.
Shen Mingjiao was also a little speechless, but still asked: "Why?"
"Because she snatched His Royal Highness King Su, His Royal Highness King Su can only belong to Sister Su Qing, how can she marry someone else?"
Shen Mingjiao: "..."
Another one who is looking forward to Su Qing, she really wants to open the brains of these people and see what kind of ecstasy soup Su Qing has poured into them.
"Oh, so that means, Su Qing wants to be in two boats, wanting to marry the crown prince, but also reluctant to part with our Highness?"
Su Qing, who was standing on the second floor, clenched her fists, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.
She wanted to rush down to knock Xu Ningyue unconscious, but not only could she not go down now, she had to be careful not to let others find out.
