Chapter 251 Maneuvering



Upon hearing this, Liang Xuanjing's bright eyes darted around, and then he pretended to be troubled and said, "I have to go home to get the money. Who usually carries a hundred taels of silver when they go out? Don't you think so?"

Upon hearing this, the burly man frowned again and said irritably, "If I just let you go back like this, what if you run away later?"

Then, Liang Xuanjing immediately replied, "You don't need to worry about that. You can send anyone to come with me, or I can pawn my ancestral jade pendant here as collateral."

The other party thought about it and felt that this compromise was not bad, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, give me the things, and I'll send someone with you. I'm warning you, don't expect to play any tricks on me!"

For some reason, looking at Liang Xuanjing's ambiguous smile gave people a very awkward feeling, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what was wrong.

Upon hearing this, Liang Xuanjing immediately assured him, "You can rest assured about that. What tricks could I possibly play? I can't beat you, and the goods are here as collateral. What are you afraid of?"

After hearing this, the man felt a little relieved and then said, "Alright, give me the things now, and I'll go with you to get the money later!"

"good."

Liang Xuanjing seemed quite agreeable, and then pretended to take off a small, exquisite jade pendant from his waist.

Upon seeing the exquisite jade pendant, the burly man's eyes lit up. He estimated that the pendant was worth far more than a hundred taels of silver. He then began to silently calculate in his mind that he would take the money and the jade pendant for himself later.

Just then, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and walked between them, blocking Liang Xuanjing's path.

"Hey, who are you? Can't you see we're here on official business!"

Upon seeing the uninvited guest, the burly man flew into a rage and was about to shove him when Liang Xuanjing stopped him halfway.

"Hey, hey, we're all grown men, how can we lay a hand on a girl? That's outrageous!"

Liang Xuanjing earnestly offered his advice, then looked at the woman beside him with some confusion.

Li Chang'an naturally met his gaze, but his expression remained completely unchanged, as if he were looking at a complete stranger.

But to everyone's surprise, the burly man immediately became agitated upon hearing this, and then said in an unfriendly tone, "Oh, you little brat, you want to come with me to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? Look at yourself, you can barely protect yourself, and you still want to meddle in other people's business!"

Just then, Li Chang'an, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up apologetically, "I'm sorry, I... I can't see. I'm so sorry, I'll leave now, I'll leave now..."

Hearing the fear in the woman's voice, Liang Xuanjing was even more confused—what was going on this time?

However, Liang Xuanjing knew that Li Chang'an had her reasons for doing this, so he quietly cooperated and prepared to watch the show.

Upon hearing that the other person was blind, the burly man's expression softened slightly, but he then said impatiently, "Fine, hurry up and leave, don't delay my business!"

Li Chang'an nodded again, looking apprehensive, and then suddenly, like a headless fly, he rammed into the burly man.

The incident happened suddenly, and such a dramatic reversal was something no one had anticipated.

On the other hand, the situation has also taken a dramatic turn.

At this moment, Feng Beichuan was coldly staring at Bai Ruohan's face, then snorted disdainfully, and said incisively, "Miss Bai, I advise you to ask yourself whether you were really unconscious just now or just pretending!"

In the end, Feng Beichuan couldn't help but grit his teeth.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

I can't believe I almost got tricked by a woman!

That's absolutely despicable!

Bai Ruohan was stunned upon hearing this, and her face turned a mixture of red and green.

How could he know that he was faking being unconscious?

How is that possible!

I acted so convincingly, and I even withstood needle pricks and fire.

How could the other party possibly see that?

wrong!

He must be bluffing!

After struggling with her thoughts, Bai Ruohan finally managed to calm herself down. She then composed herself and said, "What does Your Highness mean? I don't understand."

"I advise you to stop being so stubborn."

Just then, Liu Mengwan, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up casually.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruohan immediately looked at the person, her eyes filled with hatred.

She really wanted to go up to this talkative woman and slap her a few times.

Liu Mengwan naturally saw through the other person's emotions, but she remained unmoved and even felt disdain.

What a ridiculous clown!

Immediately afterwards, Liu Mengwan continued unhurriedly, "I must say, you did a very good job of pretending just now, but unfortunately, no matter how well you pretend, your pulse can't lie."

Liu Mengwan spoke with absolute certainty, then continued, "I have never heard of anyone suffering from an illness being able to diagnose a normal pulse. Miss Bai, please don't joke about such things again; it's really rather unlucky..."

Hearing the endless sarcasm in the other person's words, Bai Ruohan was really furious. She didn't know where this woman came from, not only opposing her at every turn, but also daring to ruin her plans.

"You're talking nonsense! I think it's clearly your lack of medical skills. He just said that my young lady fainted because of excessive fright. He's a proper doctor, what are you compared to him!"

Just then, Caiyun also stepped forward aggressively and began to accuse Liu Mengwan.

Caiyun had long disliked this woman. She had just caused her young mistress so much suffering, and this debt had to be settled properly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mengwan raised her eyebrows slightly, then turned to look at the doctor. She saw that he was now looking embarrassed and very guilty, rubbing his sleeves with his hands, not daring to say a word.

The facts are already clear.

A mocking smile involuntarily crept onto Liu Mengwan's lips; she knew there was no turning back now.

It has to be said that Bai Ruohan's move was a complete failure.

It's not a good idea to hand over the power of discourse to an incompetent person.
