The shopkeeper saw that she was deliberately making things difficult for him, so he didn't dare to say anything more. The fights between them were caused by gods and immortals. He was just a mortal, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

After Zhou Leping finished speaking, he started to wander around the shop, with Qi Si following behind her. The three spoke while looking, as if they had completely forgotten about Zhou Leping's existence.

The shopkeeper took out the hairpin Lin Xiafu ordered, and Zhou Leping picked it up to take a look, as if he just remembered someone like her.

"Oh, the Miss Lin is still squatting there." She pretended to be surprised. "I thought you were up early."

Lin Xiafu stood up, and with a stiff smile, he gnashed his teeth and said, "How would I dare to stand if the general doesn't let me get up?"

Zhou Leping looked at the shopkeeper, "If Empress were to know about this, this general's carelessness would probably be intentional."

The shopkeeper understood tacitly and immediately said, "This little one can testify that the general had truly forgotten earlier and did not do it on purpose."

Lin Xiafu glared at the shopkeeper and clenched his teeth.

"The hairpin on Miss Lin's head is quite pretty, did it also come from your Jade Pavilion?"

The shopkeeper was trembling with fear. "Reporting to General … "Exactly."

Only this hairpin was in the middle. It was round and smooth with a clear texture, making it very inconspicuous.

Zhou Leping laughed and asked, "Can you let me take a look at the hairpin on Miss Lin's head?"

Lin Xiafu saw that she had already extended her hand out, purposely trying to regain back her dignity. She intentionally held Qiao Qiao and stroked her hair bun, passing the hairpin and putting it back down, "General likes it? It's not that I don't want to give it to the general, it's that I gave it to the general. The general can't wear it, and people can also get a hairpin.

"You're right. Not everyone is worthy of this hairpin."

If she did not give it to him, Zhou Leping would pull it off himself. He was shocked as he stared at her, "What are you doing? Return the hairpin to me! "

"What's there to be anxious about, Miss Lin? I'm just borrowing it to take a look." He turned it over in his hand for a while, then handed it back to her after he finished reading it.

Before she could receive it, Zhou Leping suddenly released her grip, and that jade hairpin instantly broke into two. Zhou Leping looked at her embarrassedly, "My hand slipped just now, I didn't expect it to be damaged for you. Should I compensate you with another one?"

This jade hairpin was something she snatched from Zhou Lean yesterday. The moment she saw Zhou Leping, she knew that she would take revenge, but she never expected her methods to be so cheap.

"Forget about it. It's just a hairpin, and is not worth much money. Only those poor people think of this hairpin as a treasure and are unwilling to part with it. General, you don't have to blame yourself, and I don't care too much about it."

With that, he turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Wrap my chai up. I still have things to do today, so I don't have time to waste here with you."

The shopkeeper wanted her to leave quickly, so he answered and turned around to get her the hairpin. However, Zhou Leping went ahead of him and picked up the hairpin, "This hairpin is not bad, how much money does it cost?

The shopkeeper was close to tears, "General, this... This is something that Miss Lin ordered from the store for a month's worth of money. This is the only one, Miss Lin has already … I've paid the deposit. "

"This general offers twice as much."

"General …"

"General." Lin Xiafu could not sit still anymore, "Everything has to be done first come, this hairpin is mine!"

"So Miss Lin knows about first come first serve? Then how come the hairpin that my little sister made for you yesterday appeared on your Miss Lin today? If the Miss Lin can pay a high price to buy the hairpin that little sister had set down, how can I not use the same method to buy the hairpin that I set down earlier? "

Zhou Leping looked at the shopkeeper, determined to win, "Shopkeeper, what do you think?"

"This …"

"This general is the most reasonable. Yesterday … If you can sell it to her, why can't you sell it to me today? Or … You don't like this general? "

The storekeeper's legs went soft, "No, no, how could this little one dare look down on the general. Since …" Since the general is willing to pay twice the price, then … "Naturally, those with high prices will get it."

Lin Xiafu was so angry that her face turned white, "Why? That's my hairpin! "

"A businessman with the word 'Li' in front of him." Zhou Leping kept the hairpin and smiled. As he walked past her, he said, "Just now, that hairpin that I accidentally broke was mine."

She waved her hand to have Qi Miao pay, "Give her the money for the hairpin that you gave her. We'll pay her three times the price for the hairpin."

"Yes."

Qi Miao counted out the silver notes for the shopkeeper, and then counted them out for Lin Xiafu.

Lin Xiafu's lips were trembling and he was unwilling to accept it.

Qi Si snatched the banknotes and stuffed them into her hands, sighing, "Master Lin does not have much annual salary, so don't be courteous to us generals, accept them. No matter what, it is enough to cover the expenses of your family for the next half a year."

"You …"

Qi Si did not give her the chance to finish her words. She turned and pushed Qi Miao away as she followed Zhou Leping.

Qi Miao didn't understand, and asked Zhou Leping, "Why do you need to pay her so much silver?"

"This general has the money, not the least bit."

Lin Xiafu relied on the Queen's backing to do evil and looked down on everyone. She did not lack for money, but if she did not, then Zhou Lean was lacking? The extra money was a form of humiliation to her.

Qi Si was completely satisfied, "Look at her expression just now, she dared to bully our Third Miss, you really did give her face."

But Qi Miao said, "What if she goes before the empress to report the general's condition?"
