The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating
Chapter 76 The fox pretends to be the tiger's power
"I'm so unlucky, I've never been served by a 'superior person' before!"
He patted the paper fan tightly and pointed at Aunt Xia and Zuo Siyun's group with the folding fan.
"Bring these beasts out for me, they'll help me digest the swill in the manor!"
After Ren Hushan finished speaking, he and several other spoiled young men who were with him burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
The officers and soldiers said sternly, "Pay the silver first."
Ren Hushan suppressed a laugh and asked, "How much silver for those few you just pointed to?"
The official fiddled with the abacus and held up two fingers: "Two thousand taels."
"Alright! I'll buy it!" Ren Hushan said proudly, tilting his head back.
"Wait!"
A domineering voice, tinged with anger, rang out from behind the crowd.
Everyone looked back.
Seeing Li Anqi with a cold face, appearing before everyone with Zhilan.
Upon seeing Li Anqi appear, Zuo Siyun and Aunt Xia's group inexplicably felt a surge of confidence. The hope that had been extinguished in their hearts was rekindled.
Ren Hushan tilted his head and fiddled with the folding fan in his hand.
"What? These few defenseless lackeys are actually being fought over?!"
Li Anqi's eyes were deep as he spoke to Guan Cheng.
"According to the laws of Daxin, the slave trade is always won by the highest bidder. I will offer double what this young master just quoted!"
"That's four thousand taels!" the official said.
Ren Hushan glanced at the group of spoiled young men behind him, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant.
"I'll offer six thousand taels!" he shouted.
Before Ren Hushan could even finish speaking, Li Anqi blurted out.
"Ten thousand taels!"
Ren Hushan was both angry and frustrated when his prestige was extinguished.
He glanced at his brothers, who were silent as cicadas in winter, and his face turned bright red.
"Twenty thousand taels!" Ren Hushan held up his folding fan, almost gritting his teeth.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Anqi calmly followed suit.
"Forty thousand taels!"
Upon hearing this, not only Zuo Siyun and Aunt Xia's group, but also Ren Hushan and several other纨绔子弟 (playboys) were almost speechless with shock!
"You're shouting out prices recklessly and causing trouble here! If you can't come up with that much silver, according to the rules, they'll chop off your hands and feet!" Ren Hushan said anxiously.
Li Anqi raised his hand and fanned the tip of his nose, his expression slightly disgusted, and did not look directly at Ren Hushan.
"If you can follow along, then follow along; if you can't, then shut up!" she said.
Ren Hushan was furious and was about to raise his paper fan to bid again when one of the playboys suddenly grabbed him.
"Brother Ren, I don't think that young lady is easy to mess with. Maybe we should just let it go! Besides, it's tens of thousands of taels of silver. It's not worth buying a few servants!"
Upon hearing the words "tens of thousands of taels of silver," Ren Hushan indeed looked troubled.
Luckily, he was pulled back; otherwise, if that little slut hadn't followed him, his hands and feet would have been chopped off.
But Ren Hushan thought it over and over and couldn't swallow his anger, so he pointed at Li Anqi with his folding fan and said angrily.
"My uncle works in the Ministry of Works, under the Third Prince! You shameless woman! You dare offend the Third Prince? You'll regret it!"
Li Anqi then understood.
It turns out this person is someone who claims to be part of the Third Prince's faction; no wonder he's targeting the Jingguo Mansion so much.
But this person is far too arrogant. He's not even worthy of being called the Third Prince's dog, yet he dares to bark and howl.
"You scoundrel who relies on his master's power, how dare you be so insolent in front of me!"
Li Anqi lowered his eyes, his words concealing his anger.
Zhilan stepped forward.
"This is Consort Qi, the concubine of Prince Xiao! How dare you, you audacious commoner, show such disrespect to Her Highness!"
Upon hearing that she was the concubine of the Prince of Xiao, they were immediately struck by her beauty.
Ren Hushan and several other spoiled young men instantly changed their expressions.
Ren Hushan, in the end, was just a commoner.
Relying on his family's business and having some money, he often mingled with his cronies, drinking and making merry, indulging in refined pursuits, and discussing political affairs.
Because his maternal uncle was a junior official in the Ministry of Works, which was under the jurisdiction of the Third Prince.
Ren Hushan often boasted and claimed that he was a confidant of the Third Prince's faction.
With the Jingguo Mansion being raided, the Crown Prince's faction suffered a defeat.
Ren Hushan seized this opportunity to kick someone when they were down, humiliating them for his own amusement.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Li Anqi here.
Li Anqi whispered something in Zhilan's ear.
Zhilan said seriously.
"You have neither name nor power, yet you dare to act arrogantly and domineeringly, offending the Empress! The Empress will show mercy and only ask you to kneel down and slap yourself twenty times, and this matter will be over."
These few dozen words struck Ren Hushan like a bolt from the blue.
His face turned deathly pale in an instant.
Inside the cage, one of the maids spat out a mouthful of phlegm and said quickly, "Pah! You dare to dream of being served by someone superior? You're not even worthy to carry Lady Chess's shoes!"
Ren Hushan struggled to lift the hem of his clothes and knelt on the ground, one step at a time.
With a pained expression and enduring the humiliating stares of those around him, he slapped himself in the face in front of everyone.
Ren Hushan gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with humiliation and anger, staring intently at Li Anqi.
Li Anqi didn't care at all what Ren Hushan was like.
She quickly got Zhilan to pay the money and rescued Zuo Siyun and Aunt Xia's group.
"Second sister!"
Li Ancai rushed over and grabbed Li Anqi's leg tightly.
"Thanks to Lady Chess! Otherwise, we don't know what would have happened to us!" Aunt Xia said with tears in her eyes.
"Thank you, Second Sister... Thank you, Chess Goddess." Li Anhua looked up cautiously, her eyes sparkling with sincerity.
