Chapter 153 "Noble" People

Even though the meal cost Mrs. Shen almost ten taels of silver, when she thought about the few thousand taels worth of items she had bought, she felt the loss wasn't much.

She could stroll through another street tomorrow and see if anything caught her eye that would make up for today's losses. Also, she needed to set out early tomorrow and must return to the Marquis Shengping Mansion for food! She wasn't willing to spend even one coin on a steamed bun outside!

This was the first time Mrs. Shen, as a mother-in-law, returned to Marquis Shengping Mansion with her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, in a cheerful and talkative manner.

Upon reaching the door, they wondered if the goods had arrived.

Had her third son's family settled the bill yet? They couldn't possibly not pay, could they? If the shops sent the goods and they didn't settle the bill, it would be utterly disgraceful.

Seeing them return, the gatekeeper respectfully greeted them and let them in.

All was peaceful.
