Wu Jinyan glared at her. âThatâs right. 1 specially came to Dr. Suâs clinic to make a loss.â
She placed the tray on Su Yingxueâs table and let her and Lin Sisi make their selections.
Every girl loved new clothes and jewelry, even if Su Yingxue spent her days in the clinic, and Lin Sisi wielded weapons all day. When they saw what Wu Jinyan had sent over, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile.
Su Yingxue was generous and let Lin Sisi choose first, with whatever remained to be hers.
Lin Sisi shook her head firmly. âMiss Wu is your future sister-in-law. No matter what, you should be the first to pick the things she gives you, Dr. Su.â
âEven if I choose it, 1 rarely have the opportunity to wear them. Do you think 1 can wear colorful and glamorous dressed and put on makeup in this clinic?â Su Yingxue spread her hands helplessly.
Lin Sisi sized her up. She was always dressed in either red or black martial attire, with a beautiful face free of makeup. A simple white jade hairpin was the only adornment in her flowing hair, presenting a modest and straightforward appearance.
In a clinic filled with the scent of medicine and the presence of patients, heavy makeup might be more trouble than itâs worth.
Lin Sisi smiled. âThen I wonât stand on ceremony.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She chose a green dress and some bright jewelry.
Wu Jinyan was a few years older than Lin Sisi and Su Yingxue. When she saw how youthful and beautiful Lin Sisi was, she couldnât help but be envious. âMiss Lin, youâre young and tender, and this elegant style suits you well.â
Lin Sisi held the clothes and gestured at her body. She casually said, âIt was the Ninth Prince who said that I look good in green. 1 bought some hairpins the day before yesterday, and they were all made of green jade!â
âDid the Ninth Prince mention anything about a girl who wields weapons not being ladylike?â Su Yingxueâs eyes flashed as she tentatively asked.
Lin Sisi pouted and looked proud. âNo! He said that both men and women are the same. Strong martial skills and a bold character are admirable in both, and he even said he would persuade the Ninth Prince to take me as a disciple to fulfill my dreams!â
âThe Ninth Prince really understands you!â Wu Jinyan smiled slightly, and there was a hint of understanding in her eyes.
âHe does indeed understand me.â Lin Sisi lowered her head, a hint of shyness appearing on her face.
Su Yingxue and Wu Jinyan both burst into laughter spontaneously. When Lin Sisi came back to her senses, she realized she had been tricked.
She threw the clothes at Su Yingxue. âAlright, Dr. Su! You both conspired to test me! Too treacherous!â
âEh⦠Thatâs not quite right! Weâre good friends. Whatâs wrong with showing concern for your marriage? Your status is compatible with the Ninth Prince. He is not shrewd and smart. The two of you make a great pair. In the future, with one being a female general and the other a great writer, how many eternal stories will the Ninth Prince create?â
Su Yingxue thought of Chu Jinlingâs best-selling book and felt like laughing.
Chu Jinling gave her two copies, and she would flip through them when she was free.
Needless to say, the stories written by someone with such good writing skills, even if they were fabricated, were incredibly captivating.
Lin Sisi nodded. â1 also think that marrying him in the future is not bad. When the time comes, Iâll have my father propose marriage!â
Wu Jinyan was stunned at first, but then she was very impressed.
In the entire Great Cheng Dynasty, the only girl who dared to directly propose marriage to the princeâs residence was probably Lin Sisi.
The three of them chatted for a while before Wu Jinyan brought up a serious topic with Su Yingxue.
âYesterday, a guest came to the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion and I personally received her. However, I feel, Yingxue, you should be more careful in the Marquisâs Manor.â Wu Jinyan patted her hand..
