Chapter 538: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 538: Unexpected Trouble (3)
The shopkeeper, seeing Wu Shi’s distress and the imposing presence of the young women, whispered, “Madam, it’s not that I’m being petty, but the Lin family is very powerful. If you don’t want to cause trouble, it’s best to let the young lady have these fabrics. You can choose something else, and I’ll give you a discount.”
Wu Shi, unfamiliar with the Lin family’s reputation, instinctively trusted the shopkeeper’s advice. Not wanting to cause a fuss, she nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll look at other fabrics.”
“No!” Before Wu Shi could finish, Mo Yan interrupted, turning to the arrogant young woman with a cold expression. “We were the ones who saw these fabrics first. If you want them, you should at least ask nicely. Unfortunately, all I hear is a dog barking!”
Mo Yan glanced meaningfully at the person hiding behind the young woman, curious if this person was the instigator.
Mo Yan did not want to create trouble, but she also wasn’t one to back down from a confrontation. Insulted as a dog, the young woman’s face contorted with rage. She shouted, “You insolent wench, how dare you insult me? You must be tired of living!”
Mo Yan sneered and shrugged, “I only said there was a dog barking. If you choose to take it personally, that’s your own problem.”
The young woman was furious but couldn’t find a retort. Desperate, she pulled out her companion and spat, “Qing Wu, go deal with that wench!”
Qing Wu, caught off guard, was dragged out and had no chance to escape. Her face, which was quite delicate, was now exposed to everyone.
“Er Ni’er? Is that you?” Wu Shi was the first to exclaim in surprise. She stepped forward, staring at the downcast woman in confusion. “Is it really you?”
The others, upon recognizing the familiar features, gasped in astonishment as well.
Qing Wu, startled by the recognition, looked between Wu Shi’s group and her own companion, questioning, “Qing Wu, do you know these people?”
Qing Wu quickly shook her head and explained, “Sister Qiu Yue, how could I know these ignorant wretches?”

Qiu Yue eyed her with suspicion but seemed to half-believe her explanation. “You don’t know them? Then why did you push for me to take these fabrics? Were you not trying to provoke me by bringing these people into the conflict?”
Qing Wu’s face stiffened at the direct accusation. Fear flashed in her eyes, but she quickly covered it with a pitiful act. “Sister Qiu Yue, I truly meant well. I only thought these fabrics would look good on you. I didn’t expect it would cause such a misunderstanding…”
Flattered, Qiu Yue’s suspicion eased. She arrogantly commanded, “If you don’t know them, then it’s simple. Go and tear that wench’s mouth apart. If you handle this well, I’ll speak well of you to the young lady.”
Hearing this, Qing Wu suppressed her delight and said, “Sister Qiu Yue, it’s my duty to help you. I wouldn’t dream of causing you trouble. I’ll get justice for you right away!”
Qing Wu then lunged at Mo Yan with her sharp nails, her eyes filled with hatred.
“Er Ni’er, stop! What are you doing?” Wu Shi cried out in shock and rushed to intervene.
Xin’er, Dai Ni, Li Xiu, and the others quickly moved to stop Qing Wu, successfully preventing her from reaching Mo Yan.
Recognizing Qing Wu’s familiar face and unmasked hatred, they understood that Qing Wu, known as Er Ni’er, harbored resentment towards them and had instigated trouble with Qiu Yue’s help.
Unable to retaliate, Qing Wu glared at Mo Yan with venom and threatened, “Hmph, you think stopping me will solve everything? If the young lady from the Lin family learns that her people were bullied by a bunch of country bumpkins, she will make sure you suffer!”
