After rebirth, the cold prince clings to me every day

Chapter 54 is simply taking moral kidnapping to the extreme.

Shen Mingjiao also saw Gu Danxue standing behind Xu Ningyue and others.

She frowned in confusion. Logically speaking, with Gu Danxue's temperament, even if she really rejected her invitation, it would be impossible for her to turn around and show up with Xu Ningyue, who she didn't deal with, unless she didn't know about it at all.

When Gu Danxue saw her, her eyes lit up and she winked quietly at her.

He wanted to come over, but after taking a look at Xu Ningyue's ugly face, he didn't dare.

Seeing this, Shen Mingjiao became more and more sure that there must be some hidden secret, but seeing her like this, she couldn't bear to embarrass her, so she just smiled at her as a greeting.

Then I continued to buy and buy. I have to say that it makes sense for Jinxiufang to be the largest in the capital city where noble people gather. At least there are a lot of good-looking clothes and accessories.

Shen Mingjiao picked out several outfits that she thought were good along the way, and also picked out a white jade hairpin for Feng Lisheng that looked very good on him.

Xu Ningyue stared at Shen Mingjiao who kept buying and buying, biting her lower lip angrily.

Especially when I saw her casually picking up a water-red butterfly-colored flowered chest-length skirt, I felt so angry that my heart was trembling.

It was a piece of clothing that she had long admired, but unfortunately the price was too high. Although her father was a tutor, she had many brothers and sisters in her generation, so she usually looked glamorous.

But now she saw that the dress she had longed for was bought so easily by Shen Mingjiao. Her heart was filled with hatred.

Shen Mingjiao, why should she?

But now that Shen Mingjiao's identity was different, no matter how angry she was, she could only hold it in. She could only watch the other person leave, turning around and taking her anger out on Gu Danxue.

Until Shen Mingjiao completely walked away, Su Qing, who had been standing behind a screen, slowly walked out. She patted Xu Ningyue's shoulder, went over and whispered something...

Shen Mingjiao went down to the first floor, and there were still many people in the lobby. The female attendant followed her with a large pile of packed clothes, instantly attracting a lot of attention.

You must know that those who can afford to shop on the second floor are inherently rich or expensive, not to mention that she bought so much.

However, Shen Mingjiao seldom went out before, and not many people really knew her.

The female shopkeeper sitting in front of the counter glanced at the things Shen Mingjiao bought, flipped the abacus in her hand, and finally said with a smile:

"The total is three thousand and forty-nine taels. Since you bought more, I will give you a round number, three thousand taels."

Everyone took a breath, even if their backgrounds were not bad, they would only have to grit their teeth and spend a few hundred taels to come to a place like Jinxiufang.

Shen Mingjiao didn't pay attention, and took out a wad of banknotes from her purse with a normal expression.

But at this moment, Xu Ningyue walked downstairs and stopped in front of her: "Princess, please wait a moment."

Shen Mingjiao glanced at her unexpectedly, "Is something wrong?"

Xu Ningyue clenched her palms tightly, then raised her head, looking at her hesitantly, and finally seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and mustered up the courage to speak:

"Princess, do you think it is appropriate for you, as the wife of His Highness Prince Su, to spend money so unscrupulously?"

Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows and suddenly became interested: "Tell me, why is it inappropriate for me to spend my husband's money?"

Xu Ningyue pointed at her in disbelief when she heard this,

"How can you say such a thing? Do you know how many border soldiers don't have enough to eat every year? And how many soldiers don't even have cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold in winter! Do you know that every penny you spend now

The money was earned by His Highness Prince Su with his blood and life on the battlefield, but as His Highness Prince Su's wife, you squandered the money that he exchanged for his life, don't you feel ashamed?"

What she said was a little stiff at first, but by the end of it, it seemed that even she believed it, and her tone became more and more intense.

When she called Princess Su, the originally noisy hall suddenly fell silent. After hearing her words, everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to Shen Mingjiao.

One is because this beautiful and generous woman is actually the rumored arrogant and domineering Princess Su.

Perhaps it was because Shen Mingjiao had a bad reputation, so after everyone heard Xu Ningyue's words, they instinctively took it in on their own.

In addition, Feng Lisheng was the dream girl of many girls, so almost everyone looked at Shen Mingjiao with reproachful eyes.

The more I look at her, the more I feel that someone like her is not worthy of His Highness Prince Su.

Haitang blushed angrily, but he was stupid and didn't know how to refute.

Feeling the unkind looks coming from all directions, Shen Mingjiao not only did not feel angry, but looked at Xu Ningyue with interest.

Tsk! If it weren't for the wrong timing, she would have wanted to applaud this girl.

Look at how well she said this! She just spent some money to buy a few pieces of clothing and she was able to drag them on the border soldiers. She was using moral kidnapping to the extreme.

However, if someone is so artistic and capable, it doesn't look like it could be said by a idiot like Xu Ningyue who only bullies the weak and fears the strong.

She smiled and said, "It sounds like Miss Xu's words make sense."

Looking at Shen Mingjiao who still looked calm, Xu Ningyue couldn't believe it and couldn't help blurting out: "Why are you so calm?"

However, Shen Mingjiao's next words made her blush immediately.

"It's just... I heard that last year the imperial court allocated one million taels of silver to the border officers. According to this amount, it is absolutely impossible for the border officers to not even have a decent cotton coat in winter as you said, but... if I remember correctly

, it seems that the person responsible for escorting these silver coins is your brother."

She smiled meaningfully: "No wonder you know so clearly?"

This statement clearly stated that her brother had secretly paid money to the border soldiers.

Xu Ningyue took a step back in shock, pointing at her with trembling hands: "You...you are talking nonsense!"

Even if she doesn't understand political affairs, she still knows that embezzling military pay is a capital crime.

The rest of the people were also stunned, wondering how Haohao was involved in official corruption!

Su Qing, who was standing on the second floor and witnessed all this, was so angry that she squeezed the jade pendant in her hand.

What a bunch of idiots, you just believe whatever Shen Mingjiao says.

Not to mention that it is impossible for the court to allocate so much money to the border, Xu Ningyue's brother is responsible for escorting the two bells. How can he dare to embezzle!

Shen Mingjiao did scare them, but that was not enough. She glanced casually in the direction of the second floor, and then asked Xu Ningyue, "Tell me, who said that to you just now?"

Xu Ningyue panicked, gritted her teeth and sneered, "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Shen Mingjiao raised her lips: "You don't understand, do you?"

She casually untied a sachet from her waist, opened it, and a refreshing fragrance hit her face. She deliberately brought it to the tip of Xu Ningyue's nose and shook it:

"Do you know what this is? This is the truth incense that I bought at a high price from merchants in the Western Regions. As the name suggests, as long as you smell this incense, you must tell the truth to me."

Xu Ningyue didn't believe there was any truth in the world at all. She raised her head and was about to say something taunting her, when she met Shen Mingjiao's eyes, but she was stunned for a moment, and then her mind wandered uncontrollably.

Shen Mingjiao stared into her eyes and asked again: "Who asked you to say those words just now?"

Xu Ningyue replied blankly: "It's Sister Su Qing."

Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows and continued to ask: "Oh, why did she do this?"

Xu Ningyue: "Because Shen Mingjiao married His Highness Prince Su, she felt resentful and wanted to ruin Shen Mingjiao's reputation."

Everyone was in an uproar and were shocked again. However, Su Qing's usual reputation was so good that many people didn't want to believe it.

He said that this appointment was a ploy by Princess Su to slander Miss Su Qing's reputation.

Su Qing, who was standing on the second floor, stiffened up and stared at Xu Ningyue through the railing. He knew that Xu Ningyue would not betray her in this situation. Shen Mingjiao must have done something?

She wanted to stop Xu Ningyue from continuing to speak, but if she appeared in this bone-setting eye, wouldn't it confirm Xu Ningyue's words.

For a while, she could only continue to hide on the second floor with a stiff face.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Shen Mingjiao continued to ask: "Who is the person you hate the most?"

Xu Ningyue said directly: "Shen Mingjiao."

Everyone: "..." They kind of believe that Xu Ningyue is really telling the truth.

Shen Mingjiao was also speechless, but still asked: "Why?"

"Because she took away His Highness Prince Su. His Highness Prince Su can only belong to Sister Su Qing. How can she marry someone else?"

Shen Mingjiao: "..."

Another person who was always ready for Su Qing. She really wanted to open these people's brains and see what kind of ecstasy soup Su Qing fed them.

"Oh, so Su Qing wants to have two different things. She wants to marry the prince, but she also can't bear to leave our highness?"

Su Qing, who was standing on the second floor, suddenly clenched her fists and had a bad feeling in her heart.

She wanted to rush down and knock Xu Ningyue unconscious, but now not only could she not go down, she had to be careful not to let others discover her.
