Chapter 115 Are you born in the Year of the Dog?
"Don't you understand the principle of first come first served?"
Miss Lian was furious, and the people behind her also joined in.
"What's the first come first served thing? Who are you and who are she? How dare you snatch something from Lian'er!"
"That's right, all kinds of poor and broke people come to buy things, boss, don't you do anything about it?"
Shopkeeper:.........
A poor and down-and-out person would never know the ins and outs of mutton-fat jade.
"I'm telling you, Songci, I like this hairpin. I want it." Miss Lian turned to look at the shopkeeper, "Name a price."
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, "This lady came here first..."
"You open a business, what you want is money. So what if she comes first? I'll give you eighty taels, and give me this hairpin."
Song Ci still didn't say anything. He glanced at the sweat on the shopkeeper's forehead and raised his eyebrows.
The shopkeeper shuddered and pretended to be calm, "My lady, this hairpin has already been bought by her."
"What!" Miss Lian was immediately furious. "You wouldn't sell it to me for eighty taels? Are you crazy? How much can she give you? She might even try to lower the price..."
The shopkeeper thought to himself, who says it’s not true? He did try to lower my price, but he also really knows what he’s doing!
Song Ci chuckled: "Miss Lian, was your birthday the dog?"
"Why are you asking this? But how do you know I'm a dog..."
She was arguing with Song Ci about a hairpin, so why did she bring up the zodiac sign for no reason?
"If you're not a dog, why do you have to steal other people's things? Dogs always grab the food they want."
Song Ci spoke very slowly, each word was filled with untold sarcasm.
"You, you called me a dog!"
"I didn't say that, but if Miss Lian thinks so, I have no way to defend myself."
"I'm going to teach you a lesson today, you unruly thing! Beat you up!" Miss Lian called out to the two maids who were with her. They rolled up their sleeves and prepared to go forward and teach Song Ci a lesson.
The two people behind her looked at each other and pulled Miss Lian's sleeve, "It's not good to do it like this..."
Miss Lian was disdainful. "Who the hell is she? The Song family is a small family, so forget it. Her father is just a businessman. I beat her if I want. What can she do to me?"
When they heard that he was born into a merchant family, they immediately put away their vigilance.
Song Ci was simply too beautiful, and she exuded a subtle, oppressive aura that was impossible to ignore, leading them to believe that she was someone powerful. After being beaten like this, she would definitely not let them go.
"What are you doing!" Wanxiang stepped forward to stop the two men.
But she was not tall and her figure was not as big as the girl in front of her. The two men laughed at her sarcastically and did not take her seriously at all. They reached out to push her.
Wanxiang tried her best to fight against the two of them, while Song Ci looked around, thinking about how to stop this farce.
The maid wanted to suppress Wanxiang at first, but she ended up fighting with both of them and started to lose control of her strength.
The two of them used their combined strength to knock Wanxiang to the ground, unable to get up.
"Miss!"
Wanxiang screamed, and when she saw the two men continue to move towards Song Ci, she immediately felt something was wrong.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Ci tightly gripped the hairpin in her hand and thought to herself that if these two people really wanted to attack her, she would make them bleed today.
The two men reached out to pull her, but before their hands could touch her sleeves, they were kicked away.
Before Song Ci could react, she saw a white figure blocking her way, followed by the familiar yet unfamiliar smell of cedar.
"Pei, Master Pei..."
Miss Lian was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly. She knew Pei Ji must know Song Ci, but she didn't expect him to help her.
Song Ci looked at the tall figure in front of him, and had no idea why Pei Ji appeared here at this time.
After kicking the man away, A Lin returned to Pei Ji's side. Seeing the shopkeeper looking at the smashed items in front of him with tears in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will compensate you for any losses later."
The shopkeeper stopped crying immediately and stood aside silently.
Smash it, smash them all!
"Bullying others in public, Miss Lian, is this the family tradition of your Lian family?"
Miss Lian was so angry that she almost fainted. It was true that she had just provoked Song Ci, but the other party had not suffered any loss and even scolded her! How could Pei Ji turn it into a bully?
"Yes, she provoked me first."
"Miss Song San is not someone who would provoke you."
Miss Lian subconsciously asked back, "How do you know? What makes you so sure?"
Pei Ji looked at her coldly, "Miss Song San is weak and delicate, and you are strong and healthy. Why would she provoke you?"
This sentence made Miss Lian furious. She had gained some weight during the winter, but she was far from being strong and healthy, right? As for Song porcelain...
She looked over and saw that she was indeed slender, with mist in her lively eyes. Miss Lian gritted her teeth and secretly hated her, thinking that she was indeed a vixen.
It must be this face that confused Pei Ji.
However, she was not stupid. Pei Ji was of low status. Even if she was favored by the Lian family, she was nothing in front of Pei Ji. It was very irrational to confront him like this.
After thinking for a moment, she snorted coldly, "Forget it, I am a great man and don't bear grudges. Let's forget about it today."
After saying that, he didn't care about the two people behind him and hurried out.
Alin accompanied the shopkeeper to calculate how much was lost. The shopkeeper started to count the beads skillfully and bargained with Alin.
The atmosphere between Song Ci and Pei Ji was much weirder.
Song Ci: "Mr. Pei, thanks for your help."
"If I don't help, you won't suffer any loss. However, the Lian family still has some influence in the capital. It would be unwise for you to confront them rashly."
"She took the initiative to provoke me, and even though I kept giving in, she wouldn't necessarily let me go."
Song Ci's words were very simple, just stating a fact, but Pei Ji felt an inexplicable tug at his heartstrings, and felt that the girl in front of him was pitiful and cute.
He said gently, "However, if the Lian family wants to bully you, just come to me."
Is this obviously a way to help me?
Pei Ji seemed different today. When did this change begin? The last time they met in the palace must have been around that time.
Song Ci stopped thinking about things she couldn't figure out. Pei Ji wanted to help her, so of course she was happy to accept. She had originally planned to win him over. Isn't this just perfect?
Looking at the hairpin tightly held in her hand, Pei Ji's eyes moved, "Do you like it?"
“It’s a gift.”
Pei Ji frowned slightly, thinking of how he had just seen her talking to a man dressed as a scholar. She looked so relaxed, something he had never seen before.
