Xu Xinmo was slightly startled.
She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.
Yun Jinnian laughed softly. "I wonder what Princess Mianke ans by this?"
"Princess Yijia!" Qu Mianke murmured, seriously looking at Yun Jinnian.
It had been so ti since they last t, and Yun Jinnian seed even more beautiful.
And with the light makeup today, she looked even more dazzling.
"What guidance do you have, Princess Mianke?" Yun Jinnian responded calmly, standing up and gazing directly at Qu Mianke.
She was a head taller than Qu Mianke, creating a sowhat superior feeling.
This feeling made Qu Mianke very uncomfortable.
"I have nothing much to say, but I am very curious about this young lady wearing the most expensive clothes from Jinshang Pavilion. Is her family the richest in the world? Or perhaps her father is an official in the court, embezzling money to afford such expensive clothes!"
Qu Mianke deliberately emphasized the word "embezzling."
Yun Jinnian laughed out loud. "Embezzling? Princess Mianke, which departnt of the court are you an official of? How dare you falsely accuse court officials without any evidence!"
Yun Jinnian reached out and pulled Xu Xinmo to the front. "Let introduce my cousin Xu Xinmo to Princess Mianke. Her father is indeed a court official, but he is incorruptible and definitely not a corrupt official. As for the clothes Xinmo is wearing, today is her birthday, and my grandmother, who loves her deeply, gave her so silver to buy a beautiful outfit since she lost her mother at a young age and her father is always away on duty. Is it wrong for elders to pamper the younger generation by giving them silver for clothes and jewelry?"
Qu Mianke opened her mouth to speak.
Yun Jinnian loudly interrupted her again, "Or perhaps the silver Princess Mianke uses is all earned by yourself and not given by your elders? If that’s the case, I have nothing more to say!"
These words, Qu Mianke indeed could not refute.
Because even for her, as well as the ones present, how many of them have earned their own silver?
Except for Yun Jinnian, not a single one had earned their own silver.
Even a penny, it was all given by the elders.
"Jinnian is correct. I have lived for decades, from childhood to adulthood and marriage, always using silver given by my elders. Nearly every young lady in the family does not use silver they have earned themselves!" Princess Yijia spoke as she was slowly helped by her maid.
Qu Mianke’s face instantly turned red with embarrassnt.
"Aunt..."
"Mianke, your mother is looking for you. It seed urgent. I’ll have the maid take you to her!" Princess Yijia said casually, but it sent chills through Qu Mianke’s heart.
Her mother had arrived in the capital city, but she hadn’t reached yet, so how could she be looking for her!
"Yes, Aunt!"
Princess Yijia nodded and looked at Xu Xinmo. "Hmm, this outfit is indeed nice, just a bit expensive!" She then looked at her granddaughters. "Learn this, and when you buy fabric, everyone can make a piece for themselves!"
"Yes, Grandmother!"
Princess Yijia then glanced at Xu Xinmo. "I heard from Jinnian that today is your birthday?"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Princess Yijia picked a brocade box from the tray held by her maid and handed it to Xu Xinmo. "Happy birthday!"
Xu Xinmo quickly knelt down. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your gift!"
On the tray, there were over ten pouches but only six brocade boxes, and she received one.
She reached out and accepted the brocade box.
Princess Yijia smiled slightly. "Stand up!"
"Yes!"
Xu Xinmo held the brocade box, feeling ecstatic.
Princess Yijia then looked at Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingqing, and Yun Qingzhi. "You three, co over!"
