Princess Wanping frowned: "Meng Xiaojiu, at least come up with something convincing. Embroidery, and double-sided silk at that—what were you thinking?"
Meng Qianqian was separated from her only by Lady Xing.
Her voice wasn't loud; it was intended solely for Meng Qianqian to hear.
Lady Xing pretended not to have heard anything.
Meng Qianqian sighed softly: "Princess, do you truly not trust me?"
Princess Wanping glared at her: "Is there anything you've done that anyone can trust?"
Lady Xing, stuck between the two: I trust her!
"Why on earth does Lu Yuan fancy you?"
Princess Wanping genuinely couldn't understand. Besides being beautiful, skilled at warfare, knowledgeable in medicine, adept at coaxing people, and versed in generating wealth—what else was good about this girl?
"Princess..."
"How much silver did you pay for it?"
"Hmm?"
Before Meng Qianqian could reply, Princess Wanping raised her hand, signaling Meng Qianqian to remain silent.
