Chapter 248: DeadThe rouge store
Ji Muqing had undeniably good taste This rouge store was famous within the capital; countless ladies would shop here for their cosmetics Of course, there were items in here that were unreasonably expensive, but those who could afford entering this place were in no short supply of gold; the average co was dressed a little quirkily; her garb was too extravagant but undeniably expensive – each part of her attire was adorned with pearls and jewels As soon as she stepped in, the other young ladies threw her weird looks, ossiping, “Which household does she belong to?” “Look at what she’s wearing! How unfashionable!”
Luckily Ji Muqing heard none of it, otherwise, she would have turned this place upside down!
As Ji Muqing entered, Ji Wanxin followed Coraceful, especially the beautyon her forehead A beauty of this calibre was hard to find even within the capital
Ji Muqing began to circle the store like a tourist, avoiding the weird glances “I want this!” she pointed towards an ornate rouge, chin raised, a haughty air about her
The female shopkeeper took a look at her heavily adorned dress and knew right away that she was rich; she picked up the box, s mistress, I rap it up for you now”
“Hold on!” soave the shopkeeper an indignant glare, “This rouge is mine – I had my eye on it much earlier, how could you sell it to so what to say
Ji Muqing scoffed, side-eyeing that girl, “If you set your sights on it earlier, why didn’t you ring it up? Why co at itdown
The other girl was no pushover either She raised her plucked eyebrows, saying, “Where are you fro of ‘first come, first served’? If I said that I had my eye on it, it’s mine”
“Who did you call a nouveau riche?”
“Who else but you!”
Ji Muqing turned green, sneering, “Do you knoho I ahed coldly, “Who cares who you are? Why don’t you go and find out who I am?”
“What insolence, wait until I become Crown Pr-”
Before she could finish her words, Ji Wanxin stepped forth and pulled her aside, whispering into her ear, “Big Sister, forget it, it would be ets out – re stopped at her rehter, the younger sister of Secretary Ji of the lin, the predetermined Crown Princess! She could not afford to stir up any trouble at this juncture
