Ye Ning was a clever girl. Upon witnessing the scene, she didn't expose the farce, but instead stood there with a shallow smile, watching her awkward mother-in-law make the payment, buy items, and then hand them over to the servants following behind.
After making their rounds, the mother and daughter-in-law duo purchased some small items as well.
Of course, most of the selections were made by Ye Ning, with Bai Tingfang footing the bill, and her attitude during payment was just as reluctant as at the beginning, to the clear distress of the shopkeepers.
With such apparent reluctance to buy what her daughter-in-law liked, the onlookers were concerned it might lead to a quarrel between the two once they got home.
What shocked everyone, however, was that despite her resistance and displeasure during her daughter-in-law's shopping spree, when the daughter-in-law chose something for her, she actually agreed to buy it!
And the price was not cheap!
