Chapter 522 Crafty Merchant

　　Madam Qu pondered for a moment as she sneaked a glance at Nan Xin. It was clear that Nan Xin was trying her best not to look interested. She then nodded. "Fine. Show me what you got."

　　To be able to transport so many goods like this showed that Lin Yuan was very rich and had good backing.

　　Madam Qu was instantly interested and a maidservant came forward to help her, introducing each of them. She was hired by Lin Yuan to deal with some female customers because it would be hard for him to get close to them without breaking the rules regarding male and female.

　　It was annoying, but he managed to find someone good.

　　After making sure that the maidservant did her job well, Lin Yuan walked over to look at Nan Xin and Nan Hua. He cupped his fist. "It\'s such a pleasant experience to be able to meet with misses. Are there any specific wares you would like to see?"

　　Nan Xin nodded. "Are there any hairpins?"

　　She did have some hairpins but Nan Shu Cheng limited her spending so much that she was annoyed. Even with her mother\'s help, she didn\'t manage to have many of them. When there were gatherings, she had to mix them to make sure that she didn\'t wear the same style and be mocked by others.

　　"There are several. Which style would you like…"

　　Nan Hua watched from the side and looked at the goods in front of her. From what she knew, Lin Yuan was an absolutely crafty person who would hijack the price of his items as high as possible in order to get the most profit from these rich noble ladies. However, it was also true that the items he sold were all in very good condition.

　　It was just, he wanted to earn a few more penny for everything he had.

　　She was about to move back when a maidservant came to her with a box on her hand. "Miss, Master said that these are the items you bought from him."

　　Bought?

　　Nan Hua was sure that she didn\'t buy anything from Lin Yuan. However, the memory of her conversation with Long Qian Xing floated inside her mind. He did say that he would ask Lin Yuan to prepare some bolts of cloths that were more suitable for cold for her, right?

　　But looking at the large box in front of her, Nan Hua knew that Lin Yuan must have given her more than that.

　　"Xiao Yun."

　　Xiao Yun stepped forward and took a pouch. The pouch didn\'t contain that much money since Nan Hua didn\'t really bring a lot of money.

　　"Thank you, Miss." The maidservant took the pouch and then retreated.

　　On the other hand, Xiao Yun was carrying the box in wonder. It was quite heavy, making her wonder just what was inside it. However, she chose not to pry on her Miss\'s business, letting Nan Hua did whatever she wanted.

　　"Do you like the goods, Miss?" Lin Yuan had settled Nan Xin and scammed her a few more silver coins, so he was in a good mood. Not to mention, Madam Qu was already selecting several bolts of good silk, which he would definitely give higher price.

　　Nan Hua looked at Lin Yuan and nodded. "Merchant Lin sure live up to his reputation."

　　Lin Yuan chuckled. "There\'s no need to be so polite. The rest of your order will be sent to your room soon. If you want to, I can even make custom dress for you and sent it to your residence since you might need some better dress."

　　It was not like Nan Hua didn\'t have many dresses, but the material from Wind City and the Capital City were quite different. Some noble ladies had talked about it when they saw her in the past but it was not too blatant.

　　Nan Hua thought for a moment then looked at Lin Yuan. "Wouldn\'t it be too much? I hadn\'t done so much."

　　Even if she had saved Lin Yuan\'s father, this preferential treatment was still too much for her. Lin Yuan was also not someone who would spend so much just because of that small debt. From what she could guess, the items inside the box itself was already very expensive and would be worth more than several tael of gold.

　　"It\'s not too much at all." Lin Yuan chuckled. "A certain someone had told me to prepare some goods for Young Miss. The payment had been made by Nan Family."

　　Lies.

　　But Nan Hua could guess what he meant by his words. The items he wanted to give her were things that Long Qian Xing asked him to prepare for her. For some reason, Nan Hua felt a complicated feeling rose in her heart when she thought how much Long Qian Xing spent for her.

　　He was not a rich young master either as his money were gained from him putting his life on the line.

　　"In that case, I will accept it. Many thanks for your timely delivery, Merchant Lin."

　　"It\'s no bother." Lin Yuan smiled then he turned his attention back to Madam Qu, persuading her that these were all limited items that came from other places. He was trying to persuade her to buy them at several tael of gold higher than what their original price were.

　　Nan Hua watched as Lin Yuan tried to milk more money and chose not to interfere. She didn\'t have any intention of stopping him since she knew that Lin Yuan was only trying so hard because these people were not good to her.

　　"Xiao Yun, let\'s go to the room."

　　"Yes, Miss."

　　It didn\'t take long for Nan Hua to reach the designate room. Instead of changing her clothes, Nan Hua beckoned for Xiao Yun to put the box on the table and she opened it.

　　Inside the box was a large amount of dried herbs. Just looking at them, Nan Hua knew that these were all priceless herbs coming from various places in several kingdoms. Not to mention, the drying method was also perfect as it could definitely be used right away to make either medicine or poison.

　　Xiao Yun was stunned. "Miss, this is…?"

　　"He\'s generous for his friend\'s fiancée."

　　Nan Hua closed the box once more, knowing that the complicated feelings were still brewing within her heart. She didn\'t even know what she should do with this feeling, but she understood that the real reason why Lin Yuan treated her so well was because of her relationship with Long Qian Xing.

　　Being his fiancée didn\'t only bring his trouble to her doorsteps but also his connection and benefits that couldn\'t be obtained through her other identities.

　　This realization just made the complicated feelings grew. And Nan Hua couldn\'t even name that feeling. Just as she was about to continue observing this feeling longer, the door was knocked from outside.
