Chapter 63: Make her vomit out double what she swallowed

  "Jin Xiu, this...this is too precious! I can't accept it!"

  Zhou Shui Bi really wants to turn her face and leave.

  She deliberately made this set of jewelry just to mock Xing Jinxiu, who is nothing but a stupid fool covered in copper stench!

  In order to see Sheng Jinxiu become a laughing stock at the noble's banquet.

  In order to make Sheng Jinxiu be looked down upon by more people!

  Is Ke Sheng Jin Yu really going to give this set of jewelry to her now?

  "Shui Bi, don't be modest anymore. Your stepmother has always bullied you, locking up all the good things in chests or giving them to your sisters. But the Spring Festival banquet is a grand occasion. If you dress too shabbily, how can you find your ideal husband?"

  No! If she wears this set of jewelry, then it's truly impossible to find a perfect husband!

  Zhou Shui Bi was secretly shouting in her heart.

  She glanced at the jewelry in her arms, closed the box, and said somewhat stiffly: "Then thank...thank Jin Xiu."

  "Don't thank me," Sheng Jinxiu said: "I also think you're too pitiful."

  "I heard that at the last grand assembly, the Prime Minister actually cried in front of all the civil and military officials, saying that he was devoted to the country and the people, and had spent every penny of his family's wealth on government affairs. If things didn't improve, he would even sell his sons and daughters!"

  "Alas, Secretary is a good official! But as his daughter, you're too pitiful! He might even sell you off cheaply if he's not careful!"

  "If it's sold to a minor official as a concubine, that's still okay. But if it's for the sake of getting more money and selling you into a brothel..."

  "My goodness, just thinking about it is terrifying..."

  "Jin Shu!" Zhou Shui Bi used all his willpower to restrain himself from getting angry.

  This damn cheap girl, actually said pitied her?

  It's ironic that the Ministry of War is out of money.

  She actually said her father was going to sell her as a prostitute for money?

  Wait, wait until she becomes the queen regent, she will personally flay this cheap girl's face and cut out her tongue!

  "What?" Sheng Jinxiu continued to smile: "You think a set of jewelry is not enough?"

  Her face was clean and innocent, as if there wasn't a single hint of calculation.

  "That's easy, my family doesn't have many other things, but we have a lot of gold..."

  "I'll call them right away to melt some more gold and bring some precious stones, pearls, and the like, to make you a pair of golden shoes, a golden belt, and..."

  "No, no, no! I don't need these anymore, not needed..." Zhou Shui Bi finally couldn't sit still and hastily got up to say: "Jin Xiu, when I came out today, mother asked me to go to Wu Fu Tang to buy some pastries. You also know that the pastries at Wu Fu Tang are very popular, if we go late there might not be any left. I'll go line up first..."

  Filial things are urgent, go quickly! Sheng Jinxiu generously waved her hand.

  But immediately added another sentence.

  "Shuibi, you must wear this set of jewelry to attend the Spring Day banquet! This is my heart's desire, if you disappoint me, I will be angry, and in the future... we won't play together anymore!"

  Just a few steps away, Zhou Shui Bi suddenly felt her knees go weak and almost fell!

  "O-okay... okay..."

  Fled in disarray...

  "Haha, she ran so fast, as if her tailbone was on fire."

  Zhou Shui Bi ran far away, and Qiu Shi finally held her belly and burst out laughing.

  After laughing, she sighed again: "However, that set of jewelry is really worth a lot of money! It was so cheap for her!"

  "Did she get off cheap?" Sheng Jinxiu's eyes narrowed into a cold glint: "Indeed, I've let her off cheap many times before."

  "But it's okay, I'll make her spit out everything she ate bit by bit!"

  "She eats with relish and gusto, but when she spits it out..."

  Sheng Jinxiu didn't finish the second half of her sentence, but a cold laugh escaped her lips, as if from hell itself, scaring Qiushi so much that she couldn't help but shrink back...

  "What does the young lady want to do?"
