Chapter 538: Unexpected Trouble (3)_1
Having spoken, the Shopkeeper whispered to Wu’s, "Lady, it’s not that I’m a snob, but Lin Mansion is too powerful for us commoners to provoke. If you don’t want any trouble, it would be better to give those two bolts of cloth to that girl. Pick another two, and I’ll make them cheaper for you."
Wu’s didn’t know why Lin Mansion was so untouchable, but upon hearing the Shopkeeper’s words, she instinctively felt he wouldn’t lie to her. Thinking it’s better to avoid extra trouble, she nodded and said, "Then forget it, I’ll look at some other fabric..."
"No way!" Before Wu’s finished speaking, Mo Yan, who had been quiet until now, interrupted her, coldly addressing the girl who looked smug, "Those two bolts of cloth were the ones we liked first. If you wanted them and had asked nicely, perhaps it wouldn’t have been a problem to let you have them. Unfortunately... all I hear is a dog barking!"
After finishing her statement, she cast a meaningful glance at the person hiding behind the girl, who had been silently bowing her head the whole time, curious if this person was the instigator.
She had no desire to cause trouble or argue with others, but clearly, someone else didn’t see it that way. Being pointed at and insulted without any response wasn’t in her nature!
The girl, called a dog, became so angry her nose looked crooked as she pointed at Mo Yan and cursed, "You lowlife, how dare you call me a dog! Looks like you’re tired of living!"
Mo Yan sneered and spread her hands in feigned helplessness, "I merely said a dog is barking; I didn’t say the dog is you! It’s not my fault you took it upon yourself to assume I meant you."
Hearing this, the girl was practically beside herself with rage but couldn’t find any words to retort. In her urgency, she yanked her companion from behind and said through gritted teeth, "Qing Mu, go... go and tear that wretch’s mouth for me!"
The girl called Qing Mu obviously hadn’t expected to be suddenly pulled out like this and was too late to avoid it, her still delicate face unexpectedly revealed to everyone present.
"Erni? Are you Erni?" Wu’s was the first to exclaim. She took a couple of steps forward, staring intently at the silent woman, and asked with some uncertainty.
