Chapter 83 Not a Normal Person

Yun Wei looked at her with a laugh, "What, the Wen family doesn't want you, so you can't wait to find someone from the Lou family for yourself? This time, are you going to be a concubine or the principal wife?"

Li Mingzhu's expression changed. "Yun family, don't talk nonsense and ruin my reputation!"

"Oh, so you do know to care about your reputation. I thought you were so shameless that you didn't care about your reputation at all," Yun Wei said slowly, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"You..." Li Mingzhu was furious, but before she could say anything, Lou Junyi suddenly interrupted her with a gloomy expression, "What Wen family?"

Yunwei gave him a meaningful look. "Young Master Lou, don't you know? Li Mingzhu originally favored the Wen family, but unfortunately the Wen family didn't think much of her. She wanted to be a concubine, but they didn't want her. Otherwise, why would she even look at you, Young Master Lou?"

Lou Junyi's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this. He turned and glared at Li Mingzhu, "What do you mean? What do you take me for?"

"Brother Junyi, it's not what you think. Those were all fabrications made up by the Yun family because I have a grudge against her. Please don't fall for her tricks." Li Mingzhu couldn't care less about scolding Yun Wei anymore and hurriedly explained to Lou Junyi.

Lou Junyi's gaze was gloomy and he was very displeased, but he didn't say anything more.

Yunwei glanced at him and understood what he was thinking.

This man is lewd and lustful; how could he possibly let Li Mingzhu, who is offering herself to him, go?

Even though Li Mingzhu had previously been interested in someone.

Yunwei didn't want to bring up Li Mingzhu's matter, but this person was evil to the core and didn't know how to restrain herself, so why should she show her mercy?

Soon, the shopkeeper was summoned.

As soon as the shopkeeper came out, Li Mingzhu said arrogantly, "This is the young master of the Lou family. We want the remaining snail-shell eyebrow powder in your shop. We'll pay two ingots of gold. Shopkeeper, you'd better think it over."

After saying that, she glanced at Yunwei triumphantly.

Anyone with a sound mind knows how to make choices.

Even Lou Junyi naturally assumed that after the shopkeeper learned of his identity, he would come forward to flatter and fawn over him, and offer him snail-shaped black ink.

He opened his folding fan and slowly waved it, waiting for the shopkeeper to come up and flatter him.

The shopkeeper had already learned the whole story from the shop assistant. When he heard what Li Mingzhu said, he frowned. "Another one who relies on her family's power."

He was about to say something when he saw Yun Wei not far away. His expression suddenly changed, and he quickly walked over and respectfully bowed, "Why has the master come?"

"Manager Wu, it's been quite a while." Yun Wei nodded slightly. "I'm here with a friend to buy some cosmetics." As she spoke, she pointed to the snail-shell eyeshadow and other items wrapped up by the shop assistant on the counter. "My friend had her eye on these first, but some people, relying on their wealth, tried to snatch them from us. Manager Wu, what do you think is the best way to handle this?"

Hearing their conversation, not only was Aman surprised, but Li Mingzhu and the other person were equally astonished.

Is Yun Wei actually the owner of this shop?

For a moment, Lou Junyi and Li Mingzhu both looked very unpleasant.

If they had known this was a Yun family shop, they definitely wouldn't have come.

Right now, Yun is probably laughing at them in her heart.

After listening to Yun Wei's words, Manager Wu knew that his boss was testing his ability to handle things. So, he perked up and turned to Li Mingzhu and the other woman, saying tactfully, "I'm sorry, but those two had already taken a liking to this snail-shaped ink before you and paid for it. We are not qualified to dispose of things that have been sold to others. However, if you need it, we will definitely reserve it for you first when the shop gets new stock next time."

Manager Wu's words were quite sincere, and a normal person would have accepted the situation gracefully. However, it was clear that Li Mingzhu and her companion were not normal people.

Li Mingzhu was furious.

Before coming to this shop, she had searched many shops, but none of them had snail-shell eyebrow dye. Having finally found this one, she certainly wasn't going to give up so easily. Thinking this, she tugged at Lou Junyi's sleeve and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother Junyi, I finally found snail-shell eyebrow dye! If I can't buy it, I won't be able to sleep tonight..."

Yun Wei's lips twitched slightly.

However, she always knew that Li Mingzhu would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, let alone just flattering men and being clever.

But Aman had never seen a noble lady from a prominent family look like this before. She stared wide-eyed at Li Mingzhu and couldn't help but say, "It's such a waste of her talent not to become a prostitute."

"What did you say?" Li Mingzhu's expression changed.

Aman scoffed, "Didn't you already hear it? Do I have to repeat it again?"

“Brother Junyi…” Li Mingzhu shook Lou Junyi’s arm.

Lou Junyi took the opportunity to grope her waist and hips, then looked at Manager Wu with a sinister expression, "Are you sure you want to offend me? You'd better think carefully!"

Shopkeeper Wu sneered inwardly, but said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "If Young Master Lou wishes to do that, this old man has no way to stop him. However, I've heard that Lord Lou of the Dali Temple is an upright and incorruptible man. If he finds out that his clansmen have committed wrongdoings, I'm afraid..."

He didn't say anything more, but the meaning was self-evident.

Lou Junyi's expression darkened.

He hated nothing more than being pressured by Lou Chao'an, and with Yun Wei and Li Mingzhu present, he didn't want to lose face. So he lowered his voice and threatened, "Before you tell him, I'll have you all killed." He chuckled lightly, appearing magnanimous, "Of course, I'm a magnanimous young master. If you obediently accept the gold and hand over the Luozi Dai, I'll let bygones be bygones."

Manager Wu's expression turned cold.

Today, this fellow not only flaunted his power in the shop he managed, but also threatened the owner. If word gets out, how can he hold his head high in front of Manager Ding and the others?
Contrary to his gentle demeanor, he said coldly, "If Young Master Lou dares to risk his life, I will gladly accompany him. My life is worthless, but Young Master Lou's is different."

He emphasized the words "I'd risk my life to accompany you."

Meeting his cold gaze, Lou Junyi shrank back uncomfortably.

It's really strange. How can a mere shopkeeper have such an aura?

However, compared to the other party's life, his life was far more precious. If the other party really wanted to fight him to the death, it wouldn't be worth it even if he were injured.

Lou Junyi began to have second thoughts.

"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! Just wait and see what disaster strikes you!" Li Mingzhu shouted loudly, completely oblivious to Lou Junyi's strange behavior.

Shopkeeper Wu took a step forward. "Under the Emperor's nose, how dare you, young lady, disregard the law?"

"The law?" Li Mingzhu said arrogantly, "The Lou family is the law."

Manager Wu looked at Lou Junyi with a half-smile, "Is what this young lady is saying true? Can your Lou family control everything?"

Lou Junyi's expression changed. "Stop talking nonsense! Alright, Li Mingzhu, let's go."

Li Mingzhu said unwillingly, "What's there to be afraid of? My snail-shell inkstone isn't ready yet..."

Lou Junyi slapped her impatiently, "Shut up!"

Li Mingzhu covered her face, staring at him in disbelief. "You hit me?"

Lou Junyi snorted coldly, said nothing, took the two gold ingots from the counter, grabbed her, and walked out.

Before leaving the shop, Li Mingzhu suddenly turned around and glared fiercely at Yun Wei.
