The one buying jewelry was a middle-aged woman. Hearing Long Rui's words, she wasn't pleased and raised her voice, saying, "Hey, hey, hey! Master, you better not speak nonsense. The jewelry here is all good stuff. If you don't believe me, come take a look. It's crystal clear, and many wealthy ladies vie to buy it. It's not some cheap stuff."
It turned out this middle-aged woman was afraid that Xuexue wouldn't buy her items after listening to Long Rui, so she quickly praised her wares loudly.
Xuexue said with a smile, "Auntie, how many taels of silver?"
"Ma'am, I have only the best stuff. Auntie here is honest and won't overcharge you. Just five taels of silver."
Five taels of silver was a fortune for an ordinary family.
Accustomed to a hard life, Xuexue certainly understood this. She put down the hairpin in her hand. Liking something is one thing, but she doesn't want to be taken for a fool.
The middle-aged woman got anxious upon seeing this, "Don't you like it, ma'am?"
