Chapter 274 Are you trying to extort me?
Su Yinyin frowned slightly, a hint of worry in her expression, and said, "Go and see what's going on."
The sixth prince hurried off to check, and soon returned breathlessly to report: "Princess, Princess Siran's carriage spooked and almost hit someone."
Su Yinyin snorted coldly, her face full of disdain, and said, "This Princess Siran really can't keep quiet."
As everyone stepped forward, they saw Princess Siran sitting in the carriage, her expression arrogant and haughty, as if all of this had nothing to do with her.
Su Yinyin said sternly, "Princess Siran of the Great Yan Kingdom rode her horse and drove her carriage recklessly in the capital, disturbing the people. Do you know your mistake?"
Her voice was clear and loud, with a questioning tone, like a messenger of justice.
Princess Siran sneered, "Su Yinyin, it's none of your business how I conduct myself."
At this moment, someone in the crowd said indignantly, "This Princess Siran is too arrogant."
"That's not it, it's a princess from the Great Yan Kingdom who came to our country and acted arrogantly."
"Oh, I remember now, she's the woman who was splashed with pig manure by Princess Anguo. So she's a princess!"
“The princess of the Great Yan Kingdom has come to our country to bully the princess of Anguo. This is outrageous!”
The crowd erupted in uproar, with accusations rising and falling like surging waves crashing against rocks.
Upon hearing this, Princess Siran angrily shouted, "Who is talking nonsense?"
Su Yinyin said, "Princess Siran, you should restrain yourself from offending the public."
Princess Siran's maidservant softly advised, "Princess, let's be patient for now."
Princess Siran took her words to heart, glared fiercely at Su Yinyin, and drove away, her departing figure filled with boundless anger.
Li Lan said, "Sister Yinyin, Princess Siran is going too far."
Su Yinyin said, "Alright, let's continue shopping."
Princess Siran, sitting in the carriage, grew increasingly resentful, the flames of anger burning ever brighter in her heart, almost threatening to engulf her entirely.
So after getting off the carriage, she secretly followed behind Su Yinyin, her eyes flashing with a sinister light, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment.
The group continued on their way and arrived at a beautifully decorated jewelry store.
Su Yinyin took a fancy to an exquisite hairpin, which was inlaid with dazzling gemstones that shimmered with a mesmerizing light in the sunlight, like a bright star in the night sky.
She was about to have the guy wrap it up.
At this moment, Princess Siran walked in and immediately took a liking to the hairpin.
Princess Siran said domineeringly, "I want this hairpin." Her tone was firm and unquestionable, as if the hairpin was born to belong to her.
Su Yinyin said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Princess Siran, there is always a first-come, first-served order in everything."
Princess Siran raised her chin and said proudly, "There's nothing I can't get if I set my sights on it."
Su Yinyin gave the display case a wink and said, "Shopkeeper, I, the princess, will pay one thousand taels for this hairpin."
Princess Siran, not to be outdone, loudly declared, "This princess will offer two thousand taels!"
Su Yinyin chuckled and said, "Three thousand taels."
Princess Siran gritted her teeth and said, "Five thousand taels!"
Su Yinyin glanced at Princess Siran, smiled slightly, and said, "Since the princess likes it so much, then let's give it to the princess."
Princess Siran said smugly, "You're smart to know what's good for you!"
At this moment, Su Yinyin said, "Shopkeeper, hurry up and wrap it up for Princess Siran."
The shopkeeper responded and quickly took out a brocade box, placing the hairpin inside with swift and deft movements, as if afraid that Princess Siran might change her mind.
Upon seeing this, Princess Siran instructed her maid to pay the bill.
The shopkeeper was overjoyed after receiving the money. After all, being able to perform well in front of his master was a blessing he had accumulated over several lifetimes, and his face beamed with joy.
Princess Siran, with a victorious expression, turned to leave with her maid.
Su Yinyin said in a loud voice, "Manager, one thousand has been deposited. You and the shop assistant can split the remaining four thousand."
Upon hearing this, Princess Siran paused, turned around abruptly, and glared at Su Yinyin, her eyes seemingly spitting fire: "Su Yinyin, how dare you play me!"
Su Yinyin smiled slightly, a smile as gentle as a spring breeze, and said, "Princess, what you're saying is true. It was you who insisted on buying this hairpin at a high price. I was just doing you a favor."
Princess Siran's face turned ashen with rage, and her lips trembled as she said, "You, you cunning woman!"
Princess Siran snorted coldly, turned around and left angrily with her maid, her back view filled with anger and resentment.
Aunt Lin held Nian'an's hand and asked softly, "Nian'an, is this the princess's shop?"
Su Nian'an replied, "Sister-in-law, I don't know either, but I guess so!"
Su Yinyin overheard their conversation.
Su Yinyin smiled without saying a word; her mysterious smile was unfathomable, as if it concealed endless secrets.
After leaving the jewelry store, the group continued their happy stroll, their laughter echoing through the streets and alleys.
Princess Siran returned to her residence and angrily smashed everything in the room to pieces.
The debris and scattered items on the ground showed her anger, like a ruin that had just been through a storm.
"Su Yinyin, I will not let you get away with this!" Princess Siran roared, her voice seemingly piercing the rooftops and reaching the heavens.
Her maids stood by, trembling with fear, not daring to utter a sound, for fear of angering the princess who was already in a rage.
After calming down, Princess Siran anxiously awaited the Empress's message while racking her brains to devise a new conspiracy. Her furrowed brows and pensive eyes revealed her inner resentment and scheming.
On the other side, Su Yinyin and the others returned to the Su residence in high spirits after shopping, with satisfied smiles on their faces.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the floor as Princess Siran arrived at the Su residence with generous gifts.
Su Yinyin did not invite the person to the living room to receive her. Instead, she had Princess Siran wait at the front door.
When Princess Siran heard the report from the Emperor.
He turned to leave in anger.
But the maidservant persuaded her to stop!
When Princess Siran lost her temper with her maid.
Su Yinyin led her entourage to the main gate in a grand procession.
Princess Siran was so angry at this situation that her face turned purple.
But before anyone knew it, a crowd of people slowly gathered in front of the Su residence.
Of course, all of this was specially arranged by Su Yinyin.
Princess Siran's face darkened, and she said angrily, "Su Yinyin, what do you mean by this?"
