"You from Ma Jia's family, you've gotten quite bold, haven't you?" Yin Tang recognized the person at a glance and addressed him by name in a harsh tone.
"Who dares to call me 'Young Master' like that? My aunt is Consort Rong from the palace," the young master in the lead said without turning his head.
"Seventh Young Master, don't you think this voice sounds a bit familiar?" a man standing behind Ma Jia Suhetai said guiltily.
Ma Jia Suhetai frowned, recalling the even more arrogant voice he had just heard, and the more he thought about it, the colder he felt.
It really does look like the Ninth Prince!
Ma Jia Suhetai stiffly turned around and saw Yin Tang approaching with his beautiful but poor scholar husband, looking fierce. He turned his face away half in flattery and half in disdain.
"Ninth Master, you've arrived!" Ma Jia Suhetai said with a rich expression.
He noticed that Yinzhen's gaze was fixed on Tong Wanyan, and he felt a pang of regret for her toothache.
Oh, I forgot, the Ninth Prince loves beautiful women the most. Although beautiful women can't enter the Ninth Prince's harem after they marry, just like his cheap cousin, the Third Prince, he can keep a mistress.
The thought of the beautiful woman within his grasp, about to be captivated by his extravagant spending, only to encounter Yin Tang, a wolf in sheep's clothing, halfway through his journey.
Ma Jia Suhetai's heart ached.
With so many people around, it wouldn't be a problem for Yinzhen's identity to be exposed, but Yinreng, as the crown prince, couldn't reveal his identity.
"You seem quite generous, aren't you? In that case, I'll buy all the jewelry in this shop. I'll take it to the charity hall as a way of doing you a good deed." Yinzhen walked up to Tong Wanyan, shielding Yinreng and Tong Wanyan behind him.
Seeing this bunch of good-for-nothings was an eyesore for his second brother and sister-in-law.
Throughout her life, Tong Wanyan has always met people who are extremely ambitious.
Even Tong Wanle, who framed her and forced her into a substitute marriage, had ambitions to climb the social ladder.
She had never seen a nobleman like Ma Jia Suhetai before, who was lucky enough to rely on his ancestors' blessings to receive a monthly allowance, idled away his time, and developed a host of bad habits.
However, Consort Rong's family background wasn't particularly high, so her nephew shouldn't be so wealthy.
It was as if Yinzhen had eyes in the back of his head; he guessed Tong Wanyan's doubts without even turning around.
“This boy’s father is Consort Rong’s half-brother. His maternal grandfather’s family were famous merchants in Yangzhou, and he only had one mother,” Yinzhen explained.
Otherwise, what spendthrift would dare to gamble with thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver like that?
Ma Jia Suhetai said awkwardly, "Ninth Master, I can't eat this whole shop."
"Please, be magnanimous and spare us. The money my maternal grandfather sent me will arrive next month; I'll give you half as a token of my respect." Ma Jia Suhetai's act of generosity was extremely sincere.
Yinzhen sneered, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "Does Your Majesty care about your filial piety?"
Ma Jia Suhetai grew up in Yangzhou, where he was spoiled rotten by his maternal grandparents and practically a local tyrant. His respect for the emperor's status was only due to the constant reminders from his elders; he wasn't truly afraid.
The Ninth Prince is a prince, and his cousin is a prince.
Yinzhen constantly disrespected him, and Ma Jia Suhetai's temper flared up.
“Ninth Master, all beauties are good, as the capable will know. You went to great lengths to be with this down-on-his-luck scholar, all for this beauty. We are all men, why do you look down on us?” Ma Jia Suhetai said with real audacity.
