Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1722: Chapter 1719: Competition

“It’s so light, it just floated up with the wind.”

“Look, the embroidery on it looks like cherry blossom trees.”

“It’s not cumbersome at all, the cherry blossom embroidery appears like stars on the hem of the skirt.”

“It’s so beautiful, I want one too.”

“You can just dream about it.”

The young misses present whispered to each other, but no matter how quietly they spoke, the room was only so large. The amazement of the crowd was evident, not to mention that not everyone was afraid of offending Li Chun’er.

The young misses behind Zhang Ling’er, following her cue, intentionally spoke for her to hear.

When Li Chun’er saw the Pink Cherry, she was so angry that her chest tightened. She looked at the Shopkeeper, gritting her teeth and said, “Is this what you call the best-looking clothes on me?”

“Good, very good.”

Zhang Ling’er had never seen Li Chun’er so furiously angry before, but the more furious she got, the happier Zhang Ling’er became. She deliberately shook her dress and said, “I’m going to try it on. Such a beautiful dress must surely suit me.”

“Li Chun’er, if you like it, you can wait until next year.”

“Don’t be so smug.” Li Chun’er fumed as she turned around and went inside to change her clothes, directly threw down the Spring Orange, with no intention of buying it at all.

The Shopkeeper, although troubled, didn’t take it to heart. After all, just these two dresses were outstanding enough. This business was incredibly successful, and as for Li Chun’er, she was only a girl, with no connection to the Qingguo Duke’s Mansion, just a spat between two young misses.

After Li Chun’er stormed out, Bailan Pavilion perceptively sent an apology gift to the residence, expressing their regret at offending the two young misses.

This way, it wouldn’t involve the shop and the Li family in any way.

Li Chun’er came downstairs in a huff, and her maidservants hurried to catch up. Seeing her refuse to take the carriage, they knew her mood was really foul.

The two maidservants exchanged a glance and hurried after her, ready to take a scolding.

“Young Miss, don’t be angry. Getting angry just plays into the hands of Miss Zhang, she must have done it on purpose. It’s all my fault for not inquiring properly.”

“Young Miss, you can punish me. I promise to be more diligent in the future.”

Li Chun’er didn’t show a good face to the two maidservants: “What’s the use of punishing you? Zhang Ling’er clearly set me up, deliberately trying to embarrass me. No, I can’t let her have the last laugh.”

“Young Miss, then, what should we do?” the maidservant asked tremblingly.

“Young Miss, should I go and see if any other shops have beautiful spring clothes? Not just Bailan Pavilion, the other ready-made clothing shops aren’t bad either.”

Li Chun’er stopped in her tracks, clearly pleased with this suggestion: “Not bad, go look, right away, and inform me as soon as you find anything.”

With that, she went back to the carriage.

The carriage had been following behind. When they saw her return, the two maidservants breathed a sigh of relief. They instructed the coachman and the servant boy behind, leaving only one maidservant, a guard, and a coachman to stay, while the others quickly headed to the clothing stores to gather information.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Just as Li Chun’er was running out of patience, her personal maidservant came running back out of breath, excitedly calling out from outside the carriage, “Young Miss, good news.”

“Which store has it? Quickly, come up, we’ll go see!” The longer Li Chun’er waited, the harder it was to suppress her anger. Anxious, she reached out to pull the personal maidservant, and after helping her up, urgently asked.

The personal maidservant, not daring to let her truly pull, climbed up on her own: “It’s Yonghe Ready-made Clothing Shop, they’re also selling new spring clothes.”
