Chapter 12 Woman, watch how I take you down!
The thought of the regent who had wiped out all the villains in the book sent chills down Zhai Rongyu's spine.
She's now considered a villain, at least in a way.
While reading the book, I felt the Regent's sword gleamed with the light of justice. Now that she herself has become one of the villains, looking at the Regent again, where is that light of justice?
That was clearly the Ghost-Faced Yama!
Jun Ce's smile froze.
he?
A pervert? A great demon king?
His handsome face visibly darkened. "We have important business to attend to. Miss Zhai, please make yourself at home." With that, he turned and left without looking back.
[Tsk, everything was fine just now, how come their expressions changed so suddenly?]
[Handsome guys really do have bad tempers~]
But it's okay, your face is the best passport!
Be brave and unleash yourself, Brother Huaixu!
Jun Ce's tall figure stiffened for a moment, then he quickly walked up the stairs, exuding a cold aura that kept strangers at bay.
"Hey... Your Majesty... wait for me!"
The Sixth Prince hurriedly followed.
"Miss, shall we return to the manor now?"
Shuang'er asked.
"Why go back to the mansion! We've finally managed to get out of the house, let's go for a stroll in the streets!"
Zhai Rong left the teahouse excitedly.
The jewelry shop that my fifth aunt gave me seems to be nearby. I also need to buy some talisman paper and cinnabar to draw a peace charm for my sister, and I'll also pick out some jewelry to give her.
Hey.
Woman, watch how I win you over!
After a cup of tea.
Zhai Rongyu stood outside the jewelry shop in the south of the city, her mouth agape in an "O" shape.
This is this...
This is way too big!!
Judging from this, it must have three floors, right?
We're rich! We're rich!
She wiped away non-existent drool and let out a cackling laugh.
Fifth Aunt, you rascal! You're so rich!
A wealthy young lady passing by gave Zhai Rongyu a disdainful look. "What a country bumpkin! He can't even smile like that while browsing a jewelry store. He looks so poor!"
After saying that, he went into the jewelry shop.
Zhai Rong asked Shuang'er, "Who is she? Does she know me?"
hateful!
They actually knew I came from the countryside!
Is the plot about to start again? Even shopping can't be peaceful... Does anyone understand...?
Zhai Rongyu mentally complained, forgetting that she had long forgotten about the plot.
Shuang'er tugged at Zhai Rongyu's sleeve. "Miss, that's Wen Yin, the daughter of the Left Vice Minister." She lowered her voice. "The one who has a grudge against you, Miss."
Ah, it's her.
Zhai Rongyu remembered.
After the original owner returned to his ancestral home, he offended many people, among whom the deepest grudge was against Wen Yin.
Because Wen Yin couldn't stand the original owner's constant pursuit of the Sixth Prince and her arrogant attitude, while the original owner always used her status to suppress her.
Wen Yin was not about to admit defeat.
In terms of social standing, the Left Vice Minister's family wasn't far behind. Besides, the original owner of this body grew up in the countryside, and her mannerisms were nothing like those of a daughter of a high-ranking official. The noble ladies in the capital all said that she was not only uncultured but also extremely unsophisticated.
Wen Yin was also someone who liked to stand out, and over time, the two became enemies.
Zhai Rongyu sighed.
Sigh, I can't shirk responsibility for the original owner's fault.
Suddenly, as if she had just thought of something, her eyes lit up, "Shuang'er, is Wen Yin very rich?"
"Of course, the Left Vice Minister had a son when he was young but had no more children. He only had a daughter when he was old and he dotes on her very much."
Hey.
Zhai Rongyu stared at Wen Yin's figure in the store, a chilling smile on his face.
This isn't an enemy, it's clearly God shining with golden light!
She grabbed Shuang'er and rushed into the jewelry shop.
The shopkeeper greeted Zhai Rongyu respectfully as soon as he saw her.
The host had greeted him and had also seen a portrait of this Miss Zhai.
From then on, this became his new employer.
The shopkeeper was about to speak with a smile.
Zhai Rongyu winked at him and made a shushing gesture.
The shopkeeper immediately realized what was happening.
The owner doesn't want anyone to recognize her!
Could it be that they have ulterior motives, such as conducting an investigation?
Then he announced loudly, "What would you like to see, young lady? We've just received a new batch of jewelry; would you be interested?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yin turned around, scoffed, and said, "Shopkeeper, you've misjudged her. She's from the countryside; how could she possibly understand these expensive jewels? Giving them to her would be a waste!"
She glanced at Zhai Rongyu from head to toe, her face showing disdain. "Besides, she might not even be able to afford it."
She knew that this second young lady of the Zhai family often caused trouble in the Minister's mansion and was not well-liked by Minister Zhai. She probably didn't have much money on hand.
Zhai Rongyu feigned anger, "Who do you think you are!"
She turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Bring out all your new products for me to see."
"Please come up to the second floor, young lady," the innkeeper said with a smile.
The two then went up the stairs together.
Wen Yin was a little annoyed. How could this shopkeeper be so clueless!
Instead of asking yourself, you're asking that bumpkin!
They really don't know how to do business!
No, the finest jewelry is only for Wen Yin to wear, how could it be for Zhai Rongyu?
She chased after him, her footsteps echoing.
The shopkeeper took out the new jewelry and arranged it in two rows in front of Zhai Rongyu.
She examined them one by one, her eyes shining.
Hmm... this white jade hairpin is nice... this lake blue bracelet is also nice... this necklace is beautiful too... Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a piece of jewelry.
It was a gold-inlaid, pearl-and-jade hairpin, shaped like a jade Buddha's hand with a string of pearl-like tears falling from it. What was even more remarkable was that there was a hidden clasp on the Buddha's hand, which could be used to open the hairpin and put something inside.
It suits my older sister perfectly.
She reached out to pick it up, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Wen Yin appear from the stairs. With a flick of her wrist, she picked up a string of crystal and gold beads next to her.
“Young lady, you have a good eye. The gold beads on this necklace are from the South China Sea. They are rare and extremely precious. This string alone has eight beads, which is truly remarkable.”
"how much is this?"
"Eighty taels of gold."
Zhai Rongyu nodded, "I want this one."
"I'll give you a hundred taels!" Wen Yin stepped forward and snatched the necklace. "Shopkeeper, wrap it up for me!"
Zhai Rongyu raised an eyebrow.
"Don't you have any manners? Don't you know about first come, first served?"
Wen Yin snorted coldly, "You haven't paid yet, so naturally the highest bidder wins. Shopkeeper, don't you think so?"
The shopkeeper gave an awkward smile. "Miss, why don't you take a look at other items? We have many other pieces of jewelry here."
"I, Wen Yin, have set my sights on something, and I have no reason to give it up to anyone else!" Wen Yin glanced at the shopkeeper sideways. "I want this necklace."
The security of this street is under her brother's jurisdiction.
If this shopkeeper doesn't know what's good for him, then she shouldn't blame her...
Zhai Rong leaned closer, her smile bright, "Highest bidder wins? Fine, I'll offer one hundred and fifty taels."
Wen Yin was taken aback by her smile and unconsciously took a half step back. "Just talk... why are you standing so close! You... do you have that much money?!"
“Since I can say it out loud, I naturally have the money to pay. But you, a little girl, do you really have that much money?”
"Who are you calling a little girl!"
Wen Yin glared angrily at Zhai Rongyu. She was only two years older than her, what was she pretending to be an elder for! Just because she's come of age doesn't mean she's so great!
"I'll offer one hundred and eighty taels!"
"Two hundred taels," Zhai Rong said calmly.
"Two hundred and fifty taels!" Wen Yin shouted.
She refused to believe it. Her father gave her so much pocket money every day, how could it be less than that of a poor country bumpkin?
