Chapter 89: The Tactless Thing
"Wu Niang, where are you going? Take me with you?" She was just about to come over to see Bai Qianxi today when she saw her getting ready to go out, so she spoke immediately.

"Okay." Bai Qianxi nodded with a smile.

After getting consent, Cheng Shaoyi immediately got off his carriage and walked over to the few people.

"You guys go back, you don't have to follow me."

After sending the servants away, Cheng Shaoyi stared at Bai Qianxi with great interest, "Wu Niang, where are you planning to go?"

"I don't know." Bai Qianxi helplessly looked at the arm she was holding tightly and explained, "He wants to go out for a walk."

"Him?" Cheng Shaoyi glanced at Bai Yulang, pouted her lips, and said coquettishly, "How can a grown man like him know where girls like to go? Wu Niang, why don't I be your guide today? I will definitely make you have fun!"

"What do you mean?"

"Do you think I'm not familiar with Beijing?"

Bai Yulang immediately spoke up in protest. You know, he had already made sufficient plans to bring Xier out this time. Doesn't he know where is fun and where is not?

"That's not the case." Cheng Shaoyi didn't expect his reaction to be so big, but he would rather lose the battle than the fight.

"I just think that as a grown man, you shouldn't go to places like us little girls like to go, right?"

"Could it be possible..." Cheng Shaoyi looked Bai Yulang up and down, "Do you have any other hobbies that we don't know about?"

"You!" Bai Yulang never thought that this little girl had such a vicious tongue!
He just said a few words to her. Bai Yulang looked at Bai Qianxi anxiously, hoping that Xier would not have any misunderstanding because of her words.

"Alright." Bai Qianxi couldn't stand the two bickering like this anymore, "Didn't you say you wanted to go out shopping? Are we going to stand here at the door all day?"

"Of course not!" they said in unison.

After making eye contact with each other, we turned away. No one can snatch Wu Niang/Xier from me!

Along the way, with Bai Qianxi mediating between them, although the two of them couldn't stand each other, they were still able to remain calm.

"Wu Niang, we've finished shopping here, let's go to the next place!" Cheng Shaoyi said excitedly after coming out of a cosmetics shop.

Bai Yulang interrupted her at this time, "Xiao Xi, we have visited all these rouge and powder shops. Why don't we go to the first floor to have a look?"

"No, Wu Niang, I haven't shopped enough! But it's not bad to go to the first floor. It's a good opportunity to see if they have any new styles recently. You must buy a few more pieces then, Wu Niang!" Cheng Shaoyi clenched his fists and spoke.

He glared at Bai Yulang again. This man was always against him!
Aren’t we all rushing to pay along the way?
Look at me this time, I’m going to kill you!
Bai Yulang naturally saw through this little thought, but he didn't care.

Bai Qianxi was too lazy to care about the dispute between the two people, as long as nothing happened. She didn't know why the two of them couldn't stand each other!

As the New Year was approaching, many people came to the First Floor to make purchases. The servants in the building were so busy that no one cared about the few people who had just arrived.

Several people were also happy and comfortable.

"Xier, come and take a look. If there's anything you like, I'll buy it for you." Bai Yulang said generously.

"Come on, Wu Niang, let's go take a look first. Anyway, someone is paying today."

Cheng Shaoyi pulled Bai Qianxi into the crowd, and soon they reached the second floor.

The higher the floor, the more valuable the items inside are and the higher the prices are. There are obviously fewer people on the second floor than on the first floor.

"Wu Niang, it's quieter up here. Let's take a look first. If you don't like anything, there's still the third floor." But someone will need to lead us to the third floor.

Soon, they noticed a tiara. Compared with the other tiaras, this one looked smaller and more delicate, with a simple and elegant beauty.

"This crown suits you very well, do you want to try it?" Cheng Shaoyi's eyes lit up instantly and he looked at Bai Qianxi and spoke.

"Girl, you have a good eye. This tiara was made by our Master Nan himself, and the gemstones used on it are extremely precious. It's a pity that due to its design, this tiara is smaller than ordinary tiaras, and it's difficult for most people to control it. But I think you can definitely do it!"

A servant nearby noticed the situation and started to flatter them.

"Fifth sister, you are here too? What a coincidence." The two were still listening to his introduction when a gentle and soft voice sounded.

Bai Qianxi couldn't help but frown.

It’s really a narrow road between enemies!
Today she was wearing a crescent-colored green dress with a cape of the same color on the outside. Her hair was half tied up in a bun, and she looked like a willow swaying in the wind, exquisite in every way.

"Sister, why are you ignoring me but still blaming me?" Seeing that Bai Qianxi didn't say anything, she continued to speak, but her eyes were noticed by the crown in the other's hand.

There was a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Fifth sister, do you also like this crown? It seems that we sisters are really in tune with each other. I just need a gift for mother..."

"I didn't expect my sister to have the same idea as me. It just so happens that this crown..."

Saying that, he reached out his hand.

"Please stay away from me."

Bai Qianxi took a step back, her eyes showing undisguised disgust.

Cheng Shaoyi didn't expect to see this person here, what bad luck!

When Bai Qianyi saw her actions, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, but her gaze was focused on the person who was coming over here.

Her eyes flashed, and she was about to cry. A tear welled up in her eyes, about to fall, and her voice choked with sobs, "Fifth sister..."

"Bai Qianxi! What are you doing!?"

Bai Yushu thought that after not seeing her for a few days, she would be more well-behaved, but he didn't expect that she was bullying Yier again!

"Why don't you ask her what I did?" Bai Qianxi looked at Bai Qianyi with a smile. After not seeing her for a while, she really looked more and more like an actor.

Tears come when they come!

Bai Yushu was just wondering if there was any misunderstanding when Bai Qianyi's restrained voice rang out, "Second brother, Fifth Sister is not to blame for this. This is all my fault..."

"No, Yi'er, you are right. Second brother believes in you."

Bai Yushu felt distressed when he saw the person who was so strong and refused to cry even when being bullied.

"I say, do you have eyes? Can't you see that she is pretending? She just wanted to snatch the crown from Wu Niang! Now she is feeling aggrieved because she can't win."

Cheng Shaoyi spoke loudly, his face full of dissatisfaction, and he felt extremely aggrieved for Bai Qianxi.

She had never seen such a person before. He was totally indiscriminate!

"Shaoyi, there's no need to say anything." Looking at the person in front of her who wanted to stand up for her, Bai Qianxi felt warm in her heart again, but she still stopped the person.

"Why?" Cheng Shaoyi didn't understand.

Why not let her explain and make things clear?

"Because those who don't believe me won't believe anything I say, so there's no need to waste my breath."

Bai Qianxi's expression was still so indifferent, but Cheng Shaoyi couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart for her, "Wu Niang, don't be sad, you still have me." "Don't worry, I never feel sad for unimportant things." Bai Qianxi curled her lips and smiled, just standing there like that, she looked extremely charming and stunning.

Bai Yushu was also attracted for a moment, but soon he came to his senses and frowned.

No matter what Bai Qianxi did, she was the one who bullied Yi'er.

"Yier, tell me what happened. I'll make the decision with you!"

Bai Qianyi still lowered her head, but a hint of pride flashed in her eyes!
When he raised his head again, he showed some struggle, "Second brother, don't ask me. I originally wanted to give the crown to mother as a New Year's gift, but I didn't expect that Fifth Sister also took a fancy to it... Second brother, it's okay for me, don't blame Fifth Sister..."

"How can that be possible? This is a token of your love for your mother." Bai Yushu frowned.

"It's okay... Second brother, I'm sure even if mother knew about this, she wouldn't blame Fifth Sister. It was because the crown was so beautiful that Fifth Sister couldn't help herself. She was never like this before..."

Bai Qianyi's voice became weaker as she spoke.

Bai Yushu frowned even more tightly and looked at Bai Qianxi. He saw that she was still as calm as ever, and seemed to have no guilt at all for what she had done.

He couldn't understand why his sister became like this, but he still spoke in a serious tone.

"Fifth sister, I don't know why you resent your sister so much, but she is doing it for your own good."

"It's understandable that you like this tiara, but you can't compete with your sister for it just because you like it. It's a gift from her to mother, you know?"

"I don't know. What does her feelings have to do with me?"

"Why is it okay? Yi'er's mother is also your mother. What's more, as long as you are willing to give this crown to your sister, your second brother can buy you a better one..."

"She doesn't need it, and she won't give it!" When Bai Yushu wanted to persuade him again, a voice rang out.

Bai Yulang appeared with big strides.

"Third brother, why are you here?" Bai Yushu was a little curious when he saw him appear.

But Bai Yulang's expression was not very good, "Why are you allowed to support Bai Qianyi but I am not allowed to make the decision for Xier?"

"Don't you want Xi'er to give her the things? Then follow the rules, each one depends on their ability, and the one with the highest bid wins!"

Having said that, without waiting for the other party to react, he started bidding.

"I'll give you five hundred taels for this crown!"

A loud shout instantly attracted a lot of people's attention.

Bai Yushu was completely angry, "Bai Yulang, what are you doing? This was originally just an internal matter between our families, but you've made such a big deal out of it. How are we going to end it later?"

"Also, where do you get so much money?"

"Brother, this is none of your business. I'm just asking if you still want the crown. If not, it will belong to us."

Although Bai Yulang was talking to Bai Yushu, his eyes were looking at Bai Qianyi, "Don't you like to steal other people's things? Do you still want it now?"

"Third brother, I..."

"Don't call me that, I don't have a sister like you!" Bai Yulang felt very annoyed when looking at this face. He didn't know why he had been deceived by her harmless appearance in the past.

He is obviously a vicious person!
"I ask you to keep bidding, otherwise the crown will belong to Xier. Do you have any objection?"

Bai Qianyi's expression turned ugly, and she said, "Third brother, believe me, I really don't mean to compete with Fifth Sister..."

"Oh, don't make noise, don't make noise. Please give me some face today. Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth." Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly solemn, the shopkeeper appeared with a friendly smile on his face.

"Everyone, what's going on? Can you please tell me?"

The shopkeeper was smiling and didn't care much at first, until the moment he saw Bai Qianxi, his whole body froze.

He walked quickly to Bai Qianxi and bowed, "My dear guest, you came here without informing me so that I could send someone to greet you."

Bai Yushu never expected that this matter would alarm the owner of the First Floor, and he didn't expect that the other party would treat Bai Qianxi in such a special way as soon as he appeared. He was shocked for a moment.

Bai Qianyi was just as shocked as he was. She couldn't believe that this was what she saw with her own eyes. The owner of the first floor was a man who didn't even give any face to dignitaries. How could he be so respectful to Bai Qianxi!
She must be dazzled!

Bai Qianxi looked at the man who was respectfully bowing before her and was also confused. "Boss, is it possible that you recognized the wrong person?"

She remembered that neither the original owner nor herself had ever had any interaction with the First Floor, let alone becoming a distinguished guest of the First Floor.

To this end, she went over the memories in her mind again.

"Dear guest, please rest assured. I will never make a mistake. I am very sure that you are our distinguished guest." The shopkeeper was still very respectful.

"This……"

Seeing that Bai Qianxi was still a little skeptical, the shopkeeper immediately said to the person next to him, "You tactless guy, why don't you bring me the small box that I put in the secret compartment of the study!"

The servant quickly brought the things over, and the shopkeeper opened the brocade box, revealing a palm-sized jade plate engraved with complex patterns that were dazzling.

"Dear guest, this is your identity jade token. Please keep it well. As long as you take this token to any branch of the First Floor, you will enjoy the highest discount and the right to be the first to purchase goods." The shopkeeper handed over the item with trembling hands.

He was very excited, he finally lived up to his master's expectations.

This is not a simple jade identity card. It actually represents the owner of the first building. I just don't know why the master didn't tell the other party the truth about the jade card.

But that was not something he could guess.

"Xier, do you know anyone on the first floor?" Bai Yulang asked in surprise.

When the First Floor suddenly told him the news about the goods, he was surprised. But if it was related to Bai Qianxi, it would make sense.

"Yeah, Wu Niang, I didn't know." Cheng Shaoyi was equally excited.

This is the VIP token for the first floor.

If you miss it, you may not get it next time! Cheng Shaoyi tightly pinched Bai Yulang's arm, suppressing his inner excitement!
Hearing the two people's urging, Bai Qianxi looked at the shopkeeper in front of her who had an extremely respectful attitude. He held the jade token in both hands, as if he would not get up unless she took it.

Just as he was about to reach out his hand, Bai Yushu finally came to his senses from his shock.

He looked at Bai Qianxi with an extremely serious expression, "Fifth sister, listen to me, you can't have this token!"

One has to take on responsibilities according to his abilities. He didn't think that his fifth sister, an ordinary young lady, could bear such a great "blessing".

No matter what the first floor's purpose is, he can't let him succeed.

Bai Yushu's eyes were firm, even though Bai Qianyi's eyes behind him were filled with jealousy to the point of driving her crazy.
