At the sight of his face, flushed with excess, she felt sick

time.""Whether they live or die, it has nothing to do with me."At first, it was his own biological daughter who was killed by Fang Dazhu's hammer blow. Fang Jinshu thought, if it were her who was kill...In this situation, no one wants to offend Wen Xiaorou for a stranger.

That lady's retreating movement Fang Jinshu didn't take to heart. She looked at the shopkeeper.

"No one is making a disturbance, I just want to ask about the price of this jade Guanyin statue."

Fāng Jǐnxiù had always ignored the other party's provocations. But the more she acted nonchalant, the angrier Wēn Xiǎoróu became.

Before the shopkeeper could even speak, Wen Xiaorou had become furious and pointed at her, shouting.

"You audacious wretch! How dare you treat me with such disrespect!"

Ever since news spread through the capital about her engagement to the second son of Duke Zong, she had been living it up in the circle of aristocratic ladies. She was truly powerful for quite some time.

Although the two families haven't formally agreed yet, judging by her father's words, Lord Zong seems to highly favor his prospective granddaughter-in-law. She marrying into the Zong family is only a matter of time.

Wen Xiaorou had been pampered for a period of time, and even those daughters from official families didn't dare to go against her. Let alone Fang Jinshu, this woman who was dressed in clothes that looked almost indistinguishable from commoners in Wen Xiaorou's eyes.

Such low things, dare to ignore her

Wen Xiaorou glanced at the jade Guanyin and impulsively shouted.

"This Guanyin statue belongs to me."

The shopkeeper of Baibao Building was over the moon when he heard this, feeling as if joy had descended from heaven.

This expensive-to-death ornament, usually doesn't sell even one in two or three months, this feeling is good.

"Very good, very good. I'll pack this up for Miss Wen and have it delivered to her house right away."

"However, Miss Wen also knows the rules of this little shop. For valuables to be taken out of the store, half the money must be paid first."

The shopkeeper didn't even look at Fang Jinshi, he directly took the Jade Guanyin from her hand and scurried it over to Wen Xiaorou's face.

Fan Jinshu frowned and looked over coldly.

When Wen Xiaorou saw this, she glanced at the Guanyin statue placed before her in the corner of her eye. Just like a victorious cockfighter, she held her chin high and raised an eyebrow at Fang Jinshu.

She didn't care about any Guanyin statues; she just liked the feeling of winning.

What a despicable thing, to dare not look at her with respect.

Wen Xiaorou didn't pay attention to what the shopkeeper of Baibao Building was saying at all. She only looked at Fang Jinshi with a smile.

Even if I told you the price, you couldn't afford it.

Besides, it belongs to me now. Scram out of my sight if you know what's good for you.

"It's annoying to see someone of your lowly status. What kind of person are you to even dare appear on the same level as me when choosing jewelry."

"Mr. Wang, why don't you chase this sort of person away!"

Wang Zhanggui's expression was a bit awkward. He had delivered the things to Miss Wen, but would she pay him or not

"Ms. Wen, are you sure you want this Guanyin statue delivered to your house"

If you wish, please have your maid pay half the sum first, and we'll settle the remaining half upon delivery of the Guanyin statue to your home.

Wen Xiaorou was a little dissatisfied. What did this Wang shopkeeper mean Did he think she couldn't afford the silver

"Isn't it just five thousand taels of silver Look at your greedy face."

She lifted her chin, signaling the maidservant to pay.

Fang Jinshu looked at the other party from beginning to end, without saying a word until now.

Her intuition told her that this Guanyin statue wasn't worth five thousand taels. Seeing Wang, the shopkeeper's surprised and embarrassed expression, she was even more certain of this.

So she wasn't in a hurry to make any moves, feeling like she could still watch a good show unfold.

"That Miss Wen, this Guanyin statue is worth more than five thousand taels."

Wen Xiaorou frowned fiercely, her face full of arrogance.

"What did you say"

"Damn it! Don't you think you can haggle with Miss me just because I'm generous"

"When this thing entered your treasure pavilion, you clearly posted a price, five thousand taels!"

"You think I don't know you're trying to cheat me"

Wang Zhanggui hastily explained, "Miss Wen, your father is the Minister of War. Even if we had a thousand guts, we wouldn't dare cheat you."

"This Guanyin statue was just brought back, the owner said they wanted a good omen, so they discounted it by 70% and put it here, hoping to find a lucky buyer soon."

"So it didn't sell, right Once the deadline passed, it naturally went back to its original price."

This was the first time Wen Xiaorou had encountered such a situation. With so many pairs of eyes on her, everyone knew her identity. She felt embarrassed to haggle with Bai Bao Lou.

Five thousand taels is only 70%, so the original price must be over seven thousand taels

When it came time to pay, Wen Xiaorou's mind finally cleared a bit. She couldn't come up with over seven thousand taels, not even five thousand.

Today, when she went out, she only brought one thousand two taels of silver with her. This amount of money was enough for her to buy all the jewelry she wanted at the Baobao Building and take it home. How did she know that she would encounter such an unlucky thing today

When Wen Xiaorou hesitated, not knowing what to do, she suddenly heard a light chuckle.

It was Fang Jinshu who burst into laughter.

"So this Jade Guanyin is worth 7,200 taels"

Wang Zhanggui nodded.

"This silver, this young master will pay for the lady!"

Just as Fang Jinshu was about to whip out a silver note and slap Wen Xiaorou hard, Zong Ta Wu's voice rang out from the back of the crowd.

She was disgusted by the sight of that overly lascivious face. people to surround him beforehand, everyone would have almost rushed up and beaten him to death in a fit of anger.Li Gou's family didn't come. The moment someone died, his parents cut him off.They pr...
