Chapter 561 - Make Trouble, Someone from the Southern Barbarian Lands (1/2)

The lady was annoyed that she did not have enough money. When she saw Mo Yarui step out again, she immediately slammed the table, pointed at Mo Yarui, and scolded her impolitely, “Hey, who are you? Does this have anything to do with you? Where did you from? What? Do you want to help her? If you really want to help her, pay for all the embroidery first.”

According to Mo Yarui’s temper, she was no match for the lady in an argument. Instantly, tears welled up in her eyes as she heard the lady’s scold. She turned to look at Mo Xuetong and wanted to ask for help.

Mo Xuetong had to help her when Mo Yarui looked at her with eager eyes. She sighed to herself. Even if she did not want to make trouble, trouble would always come to her. Fortunately, she was not really afraid of getting into trouble. She stood up with the help of Mo Lan; her watery eyes rolled and fell on the lady across her. She smiled gently and asked, “Miss, have you just entered the capital? You haven’t heard of this shop, have you? This is King Chu’s store. Are you sure you want to take issue with His Highness?”

Before Mo Yarui came to the appointment, she had already found out that the nearby stores were all owned by Feng Yuxuan.

The woman turned around when she heard Mo Xuetong’s gentle voice which didn’t contain anger. She sized Mo Xuetong up and there was a flash of surprise in her eyes. She did not expect to see such a beautiful woman. Immediately, her expression softened. When she heard that this was King Chu’s store, her face darkened a little.

Who was King Chu? He was a prince and was very much doted on by the Emperor. On her way here, the person had repeatedly told her not to offend King Chu. King Chu was the most powerful prince in the Qin Kingdom right now, so she could not irritate Feng Yuxuan because of this small matter. Furthermore, there was an invisible relations.h.i.+p, and she happened to be an insider.

However, she would not be able to surrender so quickly. Her expression turned cold as she asked, “Was it really owned by King Chu? Do you have any evidence to prove that the store belongs to His Highness?”

She didn’t believe that she just happened to enter King Chu’s embroidery store and knock into his people.

“This is the second consort of King Chu’s Manor, Second Consort Mo. If you do not believe me, you can get someone to inquire,” Mo Xuetong said with a slight smile, pointing at Mo Yarui who was still angry.

Hearing her words, the lady turned to look at Mo Yarui. She sized Mo Yarui up a few times and said after a while, “It’s Second Consort Mo. Please forgive me for being impolite. Since it’s King Chu’s store, you must not care about this little amount of money. I didn’t bring enough money this time. Second Consort Mo, please calculate the price. I’ll get someone to send the money over tomorrow.”

Although her tone was not soft enough, the meaning of her words obviously softened. Clearly, the t.i.tle of King Chu was useful.

Mo Xuetong’s gaze landed on her beautiful hair with interest. There was a hairpin. It was not very big, but the pearls hanging from it swayed and shone brightly. It made the lady’s face look extremely beautiful. If not for the fact that she had seen Feng Yuxuan’s set of head accessory of South Pearls, Mo Xuetong would not know that she was wearing the South Pearls on her head.

Although the pearls were not big, they were all round and full. At first glance, one could tell that it was a treasure. It was the South Pearl, which was not something that would appear on the person from an ordinary family.

Other than Ling Mingyan, no one else in the capital was as domineering as her. However, it had always been First Miss Ling who was known in the capital, which meant that this lady was not a native of the capital. Then she should have only been in the capital for a few days. Looking at her clothes that were all excellent and the head accessory of South Pearls, Mo Xuetong suddenly remembered what Feng Yuran had told her last night—someone from the Southern Barbarian Lands had already come and would be here in the next two days. Could this person be from the Southern Barbarian Lands?

Harboring doubts in her heart, Mo Xuetong slowly sat down and began to pay more attention to the behavior of the arrogant lady.

Now that Mo Yarui made the appointment with Mo Xuetong, naturally, they met at a store belonging to King Chu’s Manor. She was very angry when she saw the arrogant lady had knocked out the embroidery earlier, but she was not a woman who was good at quarreling; therefore, she wanted Mo Xuetong to help her. However, since Mo Xuetong had told that the store was owned by King Chu’s Manor, she could no longer ask for her help.

After all, she was the real master of the store. She could not rely on others to vent her anger for her worker.

She could only grit her teeth and say angrily to the arrogant lady opposite her, “Miss, even though King Chu’s Manor is not lacking in money, what you said is not right. You’ll get someone to send the money over tomorrow? But if you won’t, we don’t know where to find you.”

Anger was still boiling up in her heart. The lady offended her in King Chu’s store and Mo Xuetong was present. She felt very embarra.s.sed and only wanted to use Feng Yuxuan’s name to cover up her embarra.s.sment.

She had thought that with Feng Yuxuan’s current status, it would be easy for her to deal with the matter. The lady was too arrogant just now, because she did not know that the store belonged to Feng Yuxuan. She would let her off the hook once the lady admitted her fault. She did not care about money. According to the clothes of the woman in front of her, she knew that she was either rich or n.o.ble.

Even though Mo Yarui sounded aggressive, she had already intended to settle the matter peacefully. If the young lady was outwardly strong but inwardly weak, she would immediately understand what Mo Yarui meant. She only needed to tell Mo Yarui her name and this matter would be considered settled. None of them lacked such a small sum of money. Naturally, they would not quarrel over the embroidery.

However, this girl had always been spoiled by her family and had been arrogant all the time. Although she was cunning, she had to behave like this in front of others now. Besides, she could not show her ident.i.ty at the moment, so she continued to be an unruly girl. She immediately rested her hands on her hips and looked Mo Yarui up and down.
