“That’s right!”
“Oh, so you must have put down a deposit, right?”
“I said it’s reserved and that means it’s reserved. There is no need to put down a deposit.”
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “No deposit applied. How can it be considered a reservation? Just by you, Princess Ling’an, having a word, with a touch of your lips, you want to buy a pair of shoes worth ten taels of silver? In my opinion, your behavior is far more overbearing than our Fifth Daughter. After all, she paid the money.”
“Exactly!” Jiang Yuan immediately said, “It turns out you didn’t even give a deposit.”
Jiang Ning looked at the shopkeeper, “I wonder what the rules of the shop are. Can I reserve something by just saying it? If I was interested in a set of jade jewelry on display, would it be enough if I just said something and you won’t be able to sell it anymore?”
The shopkeeper smiled, “Well…Naturally, that’s not acceptable.”
Jiang Yuan burst into laughter, “Ling’an, did you hear the shop rules? You want to reserve something with just a word. Are you trying to bully people with your power?”
His Majesty, the present Emperor, did not like aristocrats acting privileged and bullying people with their power.
Princess Ling’an didn’t dare to behave like this publicly.
She scoffed, “Why does a cripple need shoes? Shabby shoes suit you best!”
Jiang Yuan angrily shouted, “What did you say?”
“I’m saying that your family has no shame, your mansion is a mess, your concubines and legitimate daughters all like to snatch things from others! Bah! Take these broken shoes, this princess doesn’t care!”
“You’re asking for a beating!”
Jiang Yuan jumped up and grabbed her by the hair bun—
Princess Ling’an was pulled back by her hair and fell to the ground with a thud.
Jiang Yuan quickly let go of her hand, called Jiang Yan, pushed Jiang Ning’s wheelchair, and ran.
Not until they climbed into the carriage did Jiang Yuan burst out laughing, “Today was so refreshing!”
Jiang Yan said with a pale face, “Fifth Sister, you’ve bullied Princess Ling’an like this, she won’t let it go easily.”
“Am I afraid of her?” Jiang Yuan snorted, turned to Jiang Ning and raised her eyebrows, “Jiang Seventh Daughter, you did well today.”
Jiang Ning gently rubbed her leg and smiled, “After all, you quarreled with her just to buy me shoes. It’s actually not worth it for just a pair of shoes. She is a princess, after all.”
“Is this about a pair of shoes? It’s about face!” Jiang Yuan handed the shoes to her, “Anyway, It’s not the first time I’ve fought with Princess Ling’an.”
Jiang Ning examined the shoes.
The embroidered shoes were exquisite and beautiful, like a piece of art.
No wonder Princess Ling’an wanted to grab them.
Ten taels of silver, enough for an ordinary family to live on for one or two years.
Jiang Yan whispered, “Seventh Sister, don’t be sad, and don’t care about what Princess Ling’an said. Even if your leg is not perfect, you can still wear the best shoes.”
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “I really do like these shoes. It’s a pity I can’t wear them and walk.”
Jiang Yuan looked at her, “What happened to your leg? I remember it was fine when you were young.”
“I don’t quite remember. I think I fell from a height once, and the family that raised me was poor. They had no money to take me to the doctor, so it ended up like this.”
Jiang Ning didn’t have much memory of this, all of this was heard from her childhood friend He Tang.
Jiang Yuan said, “Then, you’re really unlucky.”
Jiang Yan showed pity and sadness, “It’s so pitiful. If they didn’t have the money, why did they raise you? It ended up harming your whole life.”
“Can it still be cured? Find an Imperial Physician to take a look.” Jiang Yuan suggested.
“Father has consulted an Imperial Physician. The Imperial Physician said it’s been too long since the injury, and the bones in my kneecap and lower leg have become crooked. There’s nothing that can be done..”
