Lu Ying's token was quite effective.
Not only was she able to withdraw a considerable sum of money from the Money Shop, but she also successfully purchased all the cherries from fruit shops both inside and outside the Capital.
Basket after basket of cherries streamed into Shen Yinning's small courtyard, gradually piling up into a mountain.
Shen Yinning couldn't possibly eat so many herself, so Haitang distributed some to the servants in the residence. Yet even after that, there were still over a hundred baskets left.
Wei Yu was puzzled and asked, "Madam, why buy so many cherries? In such scorching weather, they'll spoil if left uneaten—what a waste!"
Shen Yinning was lounging on the Imperial Concubine Couch, holding a large bowl of crimson cherry pudding.
She lowered her head, stirring it gently with a silver spoon. Somehow, she could never quite taste the flavor she'd once enjoyed at Mantang Chun with her mother.
She said indifferently, "I just like them."
