The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 278 - 275: Who Are You, So Bold!

Leaving behind these words, Yu Tingwan lowered her head again to look at the sea snail pearl.

She confirmed her gaze.

She wanted it.

Shen Zhiyi was about to explode with anger.

Yet the person making her angry was so nonchalant, as if talking about the weather.

Even... arrogant!

"You!"

Shen Zhiyi had recognized all the prominent young ladies in Shangjing, and among them, there was no Yu Tingwan, nor had she heard of any significant figure arriving in Shangjing.

If she were truly wealthy, why would she have her hair styled like that?

Just one look made her feel disgusted.

At least she wasn’t ugly, since she had delicate features.

Shen Zhiyi was convinced Yu Tingwan was bragging.

However, it was rather novel.

Yu Tingwan pointed at the sea snail pearl and turned to ask Tan Jiang, "How much is this?"

This somewhat stumped Tan Jiang, who called over an elderly woman from the shop for assistance.

The elderly woman hastily replied, "We don’t sell these pearls individually. This set of twelve costs three thousand five hundred taels."

"Shall I take them out for you to see? If you fancy it, Madam, it’s best to buy it early. If you wait until other women and girls come over, it might be gone."

If not for the Zhou Family hosting this banquet, Jinluo Pavilion would have been packed long ago.

Everyone was rushing to buy it.

How much?

In Linxi Village, where every penny counted, Yu Tingwan was particularly shocked.

Her water-like eyes were wide and round.

Yu Tingwan slowly said, "No need to take them out."

"Pfft."

Someone nearby couldn’t help but cover their mouth and laugh.

"If you can’t afford it, why ask? Isn’t she just asking for embarrassment?"

"Who is that? Embarrassing herself like this."

"If it were me, I’d be too ashamed to face people and would run away quickly with my face covered. How can she still stand there?"

Yu Tingwan remained expressionless, completely unfazed.

But someone was unhappy.

Tan Jiang, for example.

She began feeling for the silver needles in her sleeve, to sew their mouths shut.

Yu Tingwan stopped her.

That person continued maliciously, "Which household are you from? I’ve never seen you before."

Yu Tingwan, uninterested in arguing, replied, "I just arrived in Shangjing."

Because once she starts arguing, it’s earth-shattering.

Wei Zhao had only left less than half an incense stick ago, so she needed to restrain herself a bit.

The other person scrutinized Yu Tingwan, deliberately cozying up to Shen Zhiyi, flattering her: "She lacks manners and rules, offending Miss Shen. We all respect her, you can tell at a glance you’re from a small household."

"What do your parents do?"

"With this kind of temperament, how dare they let you show your face outside, tarnishing the family name. Aren’t they afraid of offending others and having no place in Shangjing?"

Shen Zhiyi was also unhappy, disliking those who used her name to boast and gossip to bully others.

She looked down on those who relied on their status to be arrogant and domineering.

Of course, she didn’t count herself.

She looked down even more on those with no status, yet still being arrogant and domineering.

Shen Zhiyi: "If she offended me, it’s between her and me, what business is it of yours, Hao Zhenzhen?"

"If she can’t afford it, can you? How many in all of Shangjing can casually take out over two thousand taels? Look at what you’re wearing, it’s outdated and looks shabby to me. Buying and selling is voluntary, if she has money but thinks it’s not worth it, how does not buying it affect you?"

"You’re all troublemakers."

Hao Zhenzhen, who was trying to curry favor with her, suddenly turned red-eyed.

"Miss Shen, I... I was doing it for you..."

Shen Zhiyi sneered, "Who do you think you are? What nerve."

Yu Tingwan fondly stroked the sea snail pearl in her possession.

Then she was glared at.

Shen Zhiyi thought she wasn’t living up to expectations.

The skills she just boasted of in front of her, where did they go? How could she be unmoved by such words?

Yu Tingwan found her inexplicable.

The gem at her waist jingled as she fiddled with it.

Shen Zhiyi: "What are you looking at?"

"Just because it’s fake, you don’t let people touch it? Next time be smarter when you go out, wearing fake is worse than not wearing it at all."

She casually pointed at the people who just mocked Yu Tingwan.

"Look how plain they are."

The girl who spoke earlier went silent, not daring to speak again.

Yu Tingwan seriously said, "It’s real."

Shen Zhiyi didn’t believe her.

Manager Liu, sensing something was wrong, hurriedly started coming down from upstairs, thinking Yu Tingwan was being bullied.

Yu Tingwan didn’t engage in an argument, and simply told the elderly woman to wrap it up with the words she hadn’t finished earlier.

"Wrap it up."

Although Jinluo Pavilion was under Wei Zhao’s name, besides Manager Liu, no one knew he was the true owner behind the scenes.

Yu Tingwan said, "I’ll look at some other things. When my husband arrives, I’ll settle the bill together."

The elderly woman: "Certainly!"

Shen Zhiyi: ??

Her mind worked overtime.

No need to take it out, wrap it up?

Damn it.

Shen Zhiyi: ???

You’re not just doing this for face, are you?

Not only her, but the gazes of the other young ladies also turned strange when looking at Yu Tingwan.

Ignoring their expressions, Yu Tingwan picked up a Blood Jade Bracelet.

Her hand was fair, making it look beautiful when worn.

When she walked past Hao Zhenzhen, who had previously been the most vocal critic, Yu Tingwan stopped, her temper calm, her expression gentle.

Tan Jiang informed, "Madam, this is the Assistant Prefect of the Capital’s daughter."

Yu Tingwan, with her striking looks, appeared harmless, her expression indifferent.

"No need to inquire about me."

"Indeed, I come from a small, humble background, from a small place. My parents are ordinary citizens but no need for you to worry, they never feel embarrassed to have me as their daughter. I also don’t feel inferior compared to a daughter of an official who’s good at gossiping."

"And no need to try to scare me away from Shangjing, if you have the capability, go ahead and try?"

"The Assistant Prefect’s daughter, huh?"

Hao Zhenzhen suddenly felt a chill down her spine, "You... what are you going to do?"

Yu Tingwan: "To someone who doesn’t know, they’d think Da Jin is named after you. That’s really something."

"What can I do?"

"I am a reasonable person."

"Your father’s rank is only Sixth, usually struggling hard for promotion, without anyone to guide your behavior. So, your words and deeds lack decorum, it’s understandable. I certainly can’t humiliate you further."

Shen Zhiyi: ???

A ranting without vulgar words, isn’t that humiliating?

A single phrase, Da Jin named after you, enough to make someone weak-kneed.

Insulting her father and her family ethics!

Who are you, that bold!

Silent when not speaking, lethal when speaking.

Even Shen Zhiyi’s gaze changed when looking at Yu Tingwan.

Hao Zhenzhen’s hands trembled uncontrollably, "Just wait! I’ll tell my parents, they won’t let you off."

She ran away crying.

Once she was gone, the other young ladies, sensing something amiss, left as well.

For a time, only Yu Tingwan and Shen Zhiyi were left on the second floor of Jinluo Pavilion.

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips.

Shen Zhiyi thought she was scared.

Then she heard Yu Tingwan say softly, "How nice."

Shen Zhiyi: "?"

"No. They’re all going to call for reinforcements to hold you accountable, what’s good about that?"

Yu Tingwan did not hesitate to tell her, "She has parents to protect her."

Someone always there for her when she’s wronged.

The hostility on Shen Zhiyi’s face faded a little, "You... you don’t?"

With a hint of caution.

Yu Tingwan, taken aback by the question, thought for a moment, and said indifferently.

"Probably... not."
