Chapter 28 The Impostor Arrives
The shopkeeper looked them up and down.
They were dressed in ordinary clothes and didn't look like they were from a wealthy family.
Although the satin of the clothes looked of high quality and there were one or two gold and jade hairpins on her hair, these could be seen everywhere in the capital and were not particularly rare.
He lost his enthusiasm and thought that they couldn't afford this rare treasure, and even his tone became colder.
"Madam, please take your hands off the strings... If you accidentally knock or bump the Jiuxiao Huanpei Qin, I won't be able to explain to the Crown Prince's Consort!"
Jiang Wanning was unhappy when he heard this.
What a piece of shit, he looks down on others and acts arrogantly in front of her by relying on the power of the Marquis' Mansion.
She asked back with a sneer.
"Why, have you met the Crown Prince's Consort from the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion? Could it be that you recognized the wrong person?"
The shopkeeper gathered his sleeves and did not take her question seriously. Instead, he spoke complacently.
"Of course I have seen it. The Crown Prince's Consort came to visit me in person yesterday and gave me a lot of silver, asking me to choose the most luxurious case to store the zither.
Besides, Pingyang Hou has made great military achievements. He and Jing Xiang are both civil and military. Now he is the most favored minister in front of His Majesty. Who in the whole imperial capital doesn't know him? Who wouldn't rush to curry favor with him? How could I possibly recognize the wrong Crown Prince's Consort? "
“…”
Hearing him speak so concisely, Jiang Wanning almost believed it.
This is really interesting.
If the person who came to order the piano yesterday was the Crown Prince's Consort, then who was Qingqing standing in front of her?
Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything and didn't look at other pianos, the shopkeeper became a little impatient and urged them.
"Are you still going to buy a zither? If not, then don't touch it. The zithers in our Fengming Zither Studio are all the finest in the capital. They are all very expensive. If you break one, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford the compensation!"
Jiang Wanning ignored him and gave instructions directly to the maid following behind him.
"Xing'er, put the Jiuxiao Huanpei Qin into its case. We want it."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xing'er was standing by and was getting angry when she heard this. Upon hearing this, she immediately walked forward and reached out to hug Jiuxiao Huanpeiqin.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper was shocked and quickly took two steps forward to stop her.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? You can't rob in broad daylight!"
Jiang Wanning sneered faintly.
"Didn't you say this zither was for the Crown Prince's Consort?"
"What does that have to do with you?"
The shopkeeper stood guard in front of the zither stand and warned in a calm voice, "Don't blame me for not warning you. The Crown Prince's Consort of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion is not someone you can afford to offend. If you damage her zither, you will definitely be in big trouble!"
"How dare you be so rude to my wife!" Nanny Lin interrupted him and scolded, "Do you know who my wife is?!"
Relying on the support of Pingyang Marquis Mansion, the shopkeeper naturally did not take them seriously and sneered at them.
"Oh, this poor lady from another country, I really don't know her."
Nanny Lin scolded coldly, "Then open your eyes and see clearly. The people in front of you are none other than the wife of the Marquis of Pingyang and the Crown Prince's Consort!"
The shopkeeper sneered, but didn't believe it.
"These days, there are actually people who are so shameless as to pretend to be the wife of the Marquis. What a joke... If she is the Marquis's wife, then I am the Marquis!"
"you……"
"Go, go, go! Why look at the piano if you don't have money? Don't interfere with my business!"
Just when Jiang Wanning and his companions were being driven away.
A carriage stopped outside the shop.
Seeing the graceful figure coming out of the carriage, the shopkeeper immediately hurried out to greet her, and even did not forget to ridicule Jiang Wanning as he passed by her.
"I said a distinguished guest has arrived! Now the real master is here, let's see how you two imposters can keep up the pretense!"
“……?”
Jiang Wanning rolled up his sleeves lightly.
The real boss? You came just in time.
She just felt a little itchy and was worried that no one would fan her!
Looking up at the street, Jiang Wanning immediately saw the snow-white figure getting off the carriage. Who else could it be but Murong Yan'er?
There was a man in blue clothes following her.
It wasn't Shen Yutang, but Liu's mean son, Murong Heng.
The shopkeeper came forward attentively and complained.
"Princess, you're finally here! Two imposters just came into the shop and tried to steal your Jiuxiao Huanpei Qin. You must teach them a lesson!"
Murong Yan'er frowned slightly and didn't react for a moment.
"What imposter?"
The shopkeeper pointed into the shop.
"Look, it's them! In broad daylight, they dare to impersonate you..."
Murong Yan'er looked in the direction of his finger, and when she raised her eyes, she met Jiang Wanning's smiling face, which made her pause and stunned.
He even forgot to call out to Murong Heng who was striding in.
"Who is so bold as to snatch the zither from the Crown Prince's wife?!" Murong Heng rushed in aggressively and kicked Xing'er who was standing by the door.
"ah!"
Xing'er screamed in pain and was kicked to the ground unexpectedly.
Murong Qing hurried forward to help her: "Xing'er!"
"Mu..."
Seeing Murong Qing, Murong Heng was a little surprised. When he looked up, he met Jiang's gaze again, and the arrogance he had just shown was instantly extinguished.
Even the sound became quieter.
"Why, why are you guys..."
Jiang Wanning didn't respond. He just looked at him coldly with a cat-catching-a-mouse look, as if to say, "Surprised? Unexpected?"
Murong Heng usually took advantage of the reputation of Pingyang Marquis' Mansion to bully others when he was outside. Now that he had bumped into the real boss, he felt a little guilty.
But after hearing what Liu said, he never took Jiang seriously and only regarded her as a stupid woman.
As for Murong Qing, he had been bullied by him since he was a child, and was even worse than an ant being trampled in the mud.
After a moment of shock, Murong Heng's eyes darkened and he shouted at the shopkeeper.
"Your Qinzhai, the number one zither studio in the imperial capital, since when did even cats and dogs get in? Quickly kick these two unlucky bitches out, lest they dirty this young master's eyes—"
“Bang!”
Without waiting for Murong Heng to finish his words, Jiang Wanning slapped him in the face and muted the microphone manually.
The shopkeeper was startled and his eyes widened.
This woman is really fierce! She even dares to hit someone from the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion?!
Murong Heng's tone was slightly hesitant, obviously not expecting Jiang Wanning to attack him. After a pause, he reacted and shouted angrily, "Bitch, you dare to hit me?!"
“Bang!”
Jiang Wanning slapped him again and asked coldly.
"You little bastard, you're such a shit-mouthed bastard, I'd rather not get my hands dirty hitting you!"
"You..." Murong Heng was so angry that he jumped up and down, raising his arms to use violence, "Don't think I dare not touch you, if you provoke me——"
Jiang Wanning glared sideways.
"Um?!"
Murong Heng's arm froze in mid-air when she glanced at him fiercely. He paused for a moment before speaking viciously.
"I, the young master, do not hit women! When I return home and report to the Marquis, I will make you kneel outside the Marquis's gate for three days and three nights!"
Shopkeeper: “?”
No...that's it?
Murong Yan'er was probably speechless at his cowardly yet arrogant look.
He couldn't help but walk forward quickly and urged in a low voice.
"Second brother, while the shopkeeper still can't recognize Jiang's identity, let's take the zither first!"
