Song Yaoyao sighed and sat down.
Seeing how indignant Song Yaoyao looked, Song Qingling said:
"Little Sister, don't be angry anymore. There's no need to get worked up over a bird."
Song Yaoyao felt thoroughly embarrassed. A grown woman like her had been bullied by a bird. Even telling anyone about it would be humiliating.
Now that Song Qingling had offered her a way to save face, Song Yaoyao took the opening, nodded, and said:
"Mm, I know."
Song Qingyu was about to leave the residence with his two younger sisters when Song Yaoyao asked:
"What about Second Brother? Why don't we invite him along too?"
Song Qingyu explained:
"Yaoyao, your second brother was appointed a fifth-rank general. He reported to the Forbidden Army two days ago."
So she wasn't the most unfortunate one after all!
Song Yaoyao nodded and said:
"Now I remember."
After leaving, the three headed straight for the jewelry shops in the city.
They visited several jewelry shops in succession before finally placing an order at the Butterfly Auspicious Pavilion.
The main reason was the shopkeeper's guarantee that once Song Qingyu chose a design, they would never use it again. The finished piece was guaranteed to be one of a kind in the world.
They paid a deposit and would return to collect the jewelry in seven days.
It was still early when they left the jewelry shop, so the three decided to stroll around.
Looking at the dazzling array of shops lining both sides of the street, Song Yaoyao said:
"I haven't been back for a year, and quite a few new shops have opened in the Capital."
Song Qingyu agreed:
"Yes!
Now that the Four Kingdoms have been united, plenty of goods from the other Three Kingdoms have appeared in Crimson Feather City.
