Chapter 226 - Dont Let Anyone Else Bully Her (2/2)

She wouldn’t dare ask if she hadn’t been told to attend to Miss Gu. She needed to know her lord’s whereabouts in case Miss Gu asked.

“Tell her that I’ll be at the Manor of the Herb King and that I’ll return soon.”

He didn’t want to leave. His plan was to play with the wild cat tonight.

But he couldn’t just leave Nan Ningxin alone.

“Understood.”

Ye Ying left the house and soon found Gu Bailu in the clothes store.

Gu Bailu was grinning ecstatically as she counted money behind the counter.

She had earned a lot. The clothes from Prince Zi’s house had boosted the sales of the other clothes. The money earned today equaled a month’s worth of her revenue in the past.

“I’m going to be rich. I love women who like pretty clothes.” Gu Bailu kissed the money and put it in the box.

Gold and silver indeed felt good. She didn’t like notes at all.

The Ye guards complained inwardly: How could they explain it to their lord now that she had sold the clothes so cheaply?

“Miss Gu,” Ye Ying called out and walked in. The Ye guards brightened and looked at her as if she was their lifesaver.

“Sister Ying, you’re here. Miss Gu sold all of the clothes that our lord gave her.”

One of the guards immediately reported.

Gu Bailu threw a tael of silver at his head. “What a snitch.”

The guard, having no courage to duck, simply let the silver hit his head.

Ye Ying was rather cool. “We can prepare more. Were you not satisfied with the clothes, Miss Gu?”
