Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress - Chapter 436

Chapter 436: Window Shopping at the High Street

Xu Ziling ruthlessly gritted her teeth, turned around, then swept a glance at the many colored fabrics and back at Zuiying. She carefully chose a few styles of high-quality fabric that would suit Zuiying and bought them.

“I want these. Deliver them to General Xu’s manor,” Xu Ziling told the manager plainly.

“Young Lady Xu, I will absolutely deliver these over to the general’s manor as soon as possible,” said the manager with a smile and a bow.

Then, with utmost anticipation, he asked, “We have prepared hot tea in the back for Young Lady Xu. If you are thirsty, please do feel free to come in for a cup.”

“No need. I have business to handle.” Xu Ziling declined without hesitation.

The manager sighed with regret, then turned around and ordered people to wrap up the fabric.

Zuiying looked around and saw people wrap up rolls of black fabric, then immediately spun around and glared at Xu Ziling. “I told you that I didn’t want them, and I meant it. Why must you force others against their will?”

Xu Ziling scoffed but didn’t utter a word and headed right out of the store.

Zuiying clenched his fists, then turned heel and followed her out. This diva was really annoying and put people in a tough spot.

Xu Ziling strolled down the street in a great mood and bought whatever she liked. In the end, the arms of each and every servant were filled with things.

Zuiying looked down at the porcelain figure of a beautiful young lady in a pink dress with big eyes, a small mouth, perfectly styled hair, and various accessories. It looked pretty cute, but what did she buy it for?

Also, there was a fan. Zuiying curiously opened the fan to take a glance and to his surprise, there was a painting of a naked man and woman under a sheet. Zuiying immediately closed the fan, as his face couldn’t hide his discomfort.

Did this diva have too much free time every day without a man to love?

She actually needed to buy something like that? How uncivilized.

Zuiying carefully tucked the fan away to not let anyone see that he was holding a fan with an erotic painting on it.

Xu Ziling walked up to a stall which sold many rings. A gold ring with a lotus design caught her attention. She put it on and checked it left to right and couldn’t contain her joy.

“Lady, you have excellent taste. This ring sells the fastest. Seeing as you’re so pretty, I’ll sell you it for five taels. What do you say?” The stall owner had a smile plastered all over his face. With just a glance, one could tell he was a good person.

Xu Ziling pinched the gold ring and flatly said, “At most, it’s worth one tael. I won’t buy it for any more than that.”

All of a sudden, the sound of violent coughing was heard from behind the stall.

“Wife, what’s wrong?” Asked the stall owner worriedly, as he quickly turned around to pat the woman on the floor on the back.

“I-it’s… nothing. Business is important. Don’t worry about me!” Said the woman on the floor in a frail voice.

The owner took several deep sighs, then headed back to the stall.

“Lady, I really can’t sell it for one tael. I wouldn’t even make enough with that. Ah… How about I sell it to you for four taels. Four taels is already considered my lowest price.”

With a cold-hearted look on her face, Xu Ziling said, “One tael. Will you sell it to me or not?”

The owner glanced back at his severely ill wife with a miserable look on his face, and contemplated whether or not to sell it.

Zuiying simply couldn’t watch any longer, so he walked up to Xu Ziling and said, “Young Lady, in my opinion, you should just give the owner four taels. Look at just how his family is struggling. Young Lady, just regard it as doing a good deed. As the saying goes, ‘do good things and you will receive that same energy back.’ Young Lady, you’ll definitely receive karma in the future for helping others.”

The owner didn’t say a word, but he looked at Zuiying with gratitude as if he were a living deity.
