"But there's nothing good in this little town. Why don't you come back to the capital with me? I'll have the Imperial Workshop make something specially for you. Whatever style you want, they can make it."
Su Qiao didn't hesitate. "I'm not going."
Was she the kind of person who would compromise for a few sets of jewelry?
"Shopkeeper, have these three pairs of bracelets and three pairs of earrings packed in boxes. I'm giving them to someone."
Su Qiao handed the things she had chosen long ago to the shopkeeper, who was still kneeling nearby.
The shopkeeper glanced toward Feng Han. Seeing that he had no objections, he hurriedly scrambled to his feet.
"Yes, yes."
"Quick, get the young lady a fine box and pack them up."
The shop assistant hurried to the back counter to fetch some wooden boxes, then carefully packed the bracelets and earrings inside.
The shopkeeper personally handed them to Su Qiao. "Miss, have a look. Is there anything else you need? The gold jewelry in our shop is quite nice, too. Would you like to take a look?"
"No need." Su Qiao pulled a bag of silver from her shoulder bag and counted out sixty taels for the shopkeeper.
"No, no, there's no need. Consider these little trinkets a gift for the young lady. It's already this shop's honor that you came here."
Su Qiao was speechless.
Had she been forced to rely on someone else's power and swagger around?
"Shopkeeper, charge me what you should. If you won't take the money, I won't dare accept these things."
"This...?"
The shopkeeper was caught in a difficult position. Sweat covered his forehead as he looked toward Feng Han.
Feng Han gave him a faint glance. "If she tells you to take it, then take it."
