Chapter 33
Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 33
(T/N: Holy p.o.o.p, I’m so, so sorry . I think I was too sleepy when I did the previous chapter . Mu Yunyao actually said 100 000 silvers, not 10 000 silvers . Ughhh I’m sorry . I have made the changes to the previous chapter . )
Mu Yunyao looked very unhappy . “I saw that shopkeeper trusted me, and so I rejected shopkeeper Tan’s offer of one hundred thousand silvers . I even specially made changes to the art piece to make it a better fit for you, and yet, you only offer one thousand silvers . Are you taking advantage of the fact that I am a mere villager girl?”
“Lady, that shopkeeper Tan is not an honest man . He said that he would offer you one hundred thousand silvers, but would he really give you that much? He would give you the silvers, and then send people to get it back by blackmailing your family . What would you do then?”
When he saw that Mu Yunyao looked slightly convinced, the shopkeeper secretly sighed in relief . “Lady, for this picture, I am willing to offer……ten thousand silvers . This is the best price already . I will provide all the materials for you, how is that?”
Mu Yunyao bit her lip and asked, “Then, how would I know whether or not shopkeeper will take the money back by force?”
Spring Embroidery’s shopkeeper finally understood what it felt like to pick up a stone and drop it on his own foot . “I would never . Spring Embroidery had always been an honest business, you can ask around in Yan City . ”
Mu Yunyao still looked quite reluctant . Just as when the shopkeeper started to let out a few drops of cold sweat, she slowly smiled . “Indeed, Spring Embroidery’s reputation had always been excellent . I’m sure that the shopkeeper will not destroy the hard work of more than a hundred years just for a little bit of silver . ”
“Ye- yes, that’s right . ” The shopkeeper was already void of any lingering feelings of disdain against Mu Yunyao . He immediately started to calculate, “Lady, so, is ten thousand silvers alright with you?”
“Shopkeeper, ten thousand silvers is really a lot to people like me . But that is a mere small sum to Spring Embroidery . Furthermore, if this picture of mine were to be able to aid Spring Embroidery to accomplish its goals, wouldn’t that just mean I would be an important stepping stone for Spring Embroidery?”
“So what does Lady mean by all this?” The shopkeeper had a bitter expression . “Spring Embroidery may be big, but I am just a small shopkeeper . I do not have the rights to move too large sums of silver . Also, I am not even sure whether this picture would be successfully finished . If it fails to be completed, then me and my family may be chased out of Spring Embroidery . I hope that Lady can understand my worries . ”
“I have already finished one half of this picture . Shopkeeper can first give me ten thousand silvers . When I finish my picture, shopkeeper will give me another ten thousand . How does that sound?”
Hearing that she was no longer trying to take big bites out of this, the shopkeeper was ecstatic . He thought that she felt sympathy for him . “This……Lady, as you can see, I do have my woes……”
“Hmph, shopkeeper wants to accomplish a big mission, yet you would still try to bargain for mere small sums of silver, hahhhh……” Mu Yunyao shook her head .
“Alright, deal!” The shopkeeper did not want her to change her mind anymore . Twenty thousand it is then . Using that sum to buy a picture that could shock the world, this was a good day for Spring Embroidery! “However, we should write all this down on paper . ”
“Naturally, I am terrified that shopkeeper won’t give me my silver!”
The shopkeeper immediately ordered people to bring them writing tools . The shopkeeper looked at Mu Yunyao . Would she be able to read?
Mu Yunyao took the stationery . With tiny movements from her wrist, words appeared on the paper . The shopkeeper widened his eyes, who exactly was this girl? She kept surprising him!
Once he read through the contract, studied it carefully and was sure that there were no mistakes or loopholes, he signed on it and made a hand print on it . Done .
When they left Spring Embroidery, Yang Shi was extremely nervous . She made sure to carefully guard Mu Yunyao . When someone got too close, Yang Shi immediately thought that the person was up to no good .
Ten thousand silvers, she could not even imagine how to spend ten thousand silver . Only when did they enter the carriage and started their trip back to the village, did Yang Shi sigh in relief .
