Chapter 264: Chapter 264 Troublemakers Have Arrived
Xia Weibao looked at her with a mockingly playful smile, “Who said I’m buying it for you? I’m buying it for myself.”
Ruan Shushu’s complexion stiffened and instantly flushed red.
She was so embarrassed she could barely contain herself, almost ready to cry.
Xia Weibao crooked her finger and tapped Ruan Shushu’s forehead, “Just kidding, it’s for you.”
This indulgent gesture made Ruan Shushu’s heart beat faster.
She bashfully lowered her head, feeling incredibly soothed.
It was like her girlish heart was going to leap out of her chest.
“Shopkeeper, how much is it?”
The shopkeeper’s eyes flashed with shrewdness, then he put on a troubled expression, “Ladies, the Solitary Zither is the treasure of our shop, and as for the price…”
“Just say it, how much?”
Xia Weibao looked somewhat disdainful.
This business gimmick couldn’t even fool someone from ancient times.
If it were truly the treasure of the shop, how could it possibly be up for sale at a regular price?
The shopkeeper held up a finger.
Xia Weibao’s eyes widened, “One million?”
Damn expensive!
But unexpectedly, the shopkeeper shook his head, “Ten million.”
Damn!
This is robbery!
Her Majesty the Empress felt like just taking it by force right there and then.
A guqin for ten million?
Could it be any more of a rip-off?
When Ruan Shushu heard the price, her face changed color.
“Baby, forget it, let’s not buy it.”
Xia Weibao patted her hand comfortingly, “It’s okay.”
Then she looked at the shopkeeper, “Boss, can you make it a bit cheaper?”
“All our musical instruments have fixed prices and are non-negotiable. Moreover, the Solitary Zither is a famous antique zither, a unique piece in this world, so its price naturally cannot be compared to that of ordinary instruments. If you find it too expensive, you can take a look at the others; we have ones ranging from a few tens of thousands to several hundred thousand.”
“Baby, how about we buy a different one?”
Ruan Shushu suggested cautiously, yet her eyes lingered on the Solitary Zither.
Xia Weibao gritted her teeth, “I want this one.”
The million that Lu Hualiang lent her hadn’t been returned yet, so she might as well use it to buy the zither.
She’d pay him back after she earned more money.
“Baby…”
Ruan Shushu was moved but also felt guilty.
Such an expensive zither…
Xia Weibao patted her shoulder, “It’s fine, I have money.”

But her heart was bleeding.
She didn’t have any damn money!
Since she came to this time, she hadn’t earned a single cent.
It had all been borrowed from Lu Hualiang.
No problem, money can be earned.
But the kindness Ruan Shushu showed by risking her life to save her was priceless; giving her a zither was the least she could do.
The shopkeeper, hearing her decision, was delighted, “Alright then, miss is indeed a connoisseur. I’ll wrap it up for you right away.”
No sooner had he taken down the zither, a fair and slender hand suddenly extended, gently caressing the strings of the Solitary Zither.
Admiration filled the eyes.
It was a very pretty woman, dressed in a light pink skirt.
With a rounded face, she looked adorably cute.
Smiling, with two little dimples, added a few extra touches of charm.
Her skin was fair, with a hint of Peach Blossom pink.
She, like Ruan Shushu, had a loli appearance but carried a bit more elegance than Ruan Shushu.
She must be the daughter of some wealthy family.
Yan Yuexian caressed the Solitary Zither, the light in her eyes growing brighter.
“Shopkeeper, how much for this zither, I’ll take it.”
Xia Weibao’s face darkened instantly.
The shopkeeper also looked a bit troubled, “Miss, this zither has already been sold.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Yuexian’s loli-like face immediately fell.
She glanced at Ruan Shushu beside her with some disdain, her look suggesting she was seeing an ugly duckling.
“Her? The clothes she’s wearing are only worth a few hundred bucks, right? The Solitary Zither is a famous heirloom. Can she even afford it looking so shabby?”
