Lan Zhaozhao pinched the flesh on the outside of her thigh hard to control her sense of humiliation. She was now very much liked by Young Master You, and he was not stingy with her. However, what Lan Wangshu said was all true. She calmed down and thought that she could endure it. As long as she had money, what was wrong with being a concubine? She, Lan Wangshu, would always be superior to him.
"Lan Wangshu, you don't have to complain about sour grapes. I have a very good life now. I eat delicacies from land and sea every day, and I have servants when I go out. My husband asked me to go out and buy something I like."
There was a sneer on Lan Zhaozhao's lips. After not seeing him for a few days, his eyes had become much sharper, and it really seemed like that.
"Your husband, ah, he can't be the young master of the You family."
Lan Zhaozhao didn't say anything, but just raised his chin higher. I don't know what kind of look he exchanged with the little girl next to him, but that little girl was also very arrogant.
"My wife is the young master's favorite. Bring out the most expensive things in your store."
"The most expensive one, it's quite expensive, can you afford it?"
Lan Wangshu knew Lan Zhaozhao's temper. It was not easy for her to push someone away when he came to her house to give her money. She looked her up and down twice with disdain, and it was clear in her eyes that Lan Zhaozhao couldn't afford it.
"If there's anything I can't afford, just send it directly to You's house."
Lan Wangshu nodded indifferently, responded, and then never looked at Lan Zhaozhao again.
Lan Zhaozhao felt like he had no sense of existence. He felt like he had come here to show off in vain. He felt unwilling to accept this and wanted to cause trouble.
Looking around, he saw several guests dressed in brocade coming down from the upstairs. Lan Wangshu greeted them with a smile and picked up the account book to record it.
"You are so bad, Lan Wangshu. You are already engaged but you are still flirting with other men."
Several young masters frowned and looked at Lan Zhaozhao.
"I'm sorry, sir. Let me handle it. I'll bring you some wine next time."
"Thank you, young lady. However, this woman's reputation is important and needs to be taken seriously. Some people dress like decent people but actually make up stories out of nothing. We have nothing to do today, so please give this young lady an explanation."
A guest dressed like this is certainly not a good-tempered person. He would be extremely unhappy if he was splashed with dirty water for no reason.
Lan Wangshu lowered her head and curled the corners of her lips unconsciously. She didn't spend so much time and effort on opening Zui Fu Sheng for no reason. In this era, most of the power was in the hands of literati, and the connections behind the shops should not be underestimated.
This Lan Zhaozhao is really something. Not only does he want to ruin her reputation, but he also has to drag others into it. Hasn’t anyone told her that scholars value reputation the most?
"She, she has a fiancé and she's still smiling at you, that's just indecent."
Lan Wangshu was not happy with this kind of conversation. Why was the blame put on her?
"This is the concubine of the You family."
Lan Wangshu pretended to be embarrassed, as if he was thinking about how to put it. Several guests instantly showed contempt in their eyes. It was just a toy.
"Don't you know whether I have a fiancé or not? After all, it was your grandmother who sold you to me because she failed to sell me. Even if I have a fiancé, what law did I break by smiling? Do I have to cry when I open a business? That's so unlucky. But since your family has this custom, I can only respect it. Next time I visit your house, I will definitely cry."
After hearing what Lan Wangshu said, the guests remembered what happened before. A flash of understanding appeared in their eyes, and then disgust appeared. This matter had become the talk of the county. It turned out that he failed to sell his niece, so he sold his daughter instead. This man was still proud of being a concubine.
Lan Wangshu spoke logically, pointed out the contradictions, shook his head in confusion, and finally looked embarrassed and expressed his sincere respect.
Lan Zhaozhao suddenly realized that Lan Wangshu was different. Thinking of what Lan Wangshu said under the tree last time, was it true that she had been pretending and deliberately playing dumb to deceive herself?
She was so angry. She was the one who teased Lan Wangshu. When was it this little bitch's turn to tease her?
"Lan Wangshu, you really are a scheming person. I didn't realize you were such a good actor. It's a pity that you don't go to sing."
Lan Wangshu looked helpless and puzzled, with a pursed mouth, looking like he had suffered a great injustice.
"Lan Zhaozhao, wasn't it you who instigated the old lady to sell me out? Why, do you feel wronged now that retribution has come upon you?"
The two sisters did not lower their voices when they spoke, and Lan Wangshu did not hide anything either. Today she wanted to suppress Lan Zhaozhao and see the attitude of the You family.
If it was the unreasonable You Xin who did something weird on his own, she would find an opportunity to teach that ignorant little brat a lesson. If the You family was also unreasonable, then don't blame her for expanding her business territory again.
"Magpie, have some snacks."
One of the guests looked around and felt that he had taken a big bite of the melon, so he sat down on the steps. The magpie nodded quickly and walked towards the backyard. When he came back, there was a small plate of melon seeds, a small plate of pine nuts, and a small plate of pear pieces.
"That's because you've been playing dumb."
