Chapter 14: All I need to do is give my name! I'm called Passerby A!

"What's wrong with you now?" Jiang Zhe turned around and looked at the person who spoke, puzzled.

What's wrong? Haven't you learned your lesson yet?

The young master clearly noticed Jiang Zhe's strange look and thought to himself, "Fine! I was tricked by you earlier, now I'll see how you compete with me!"

She carefully examined Jiang Zhe from head to toe and finally came to a four-word conclusion: extremely ordinary!

How dare they play me? She gritted her teeth, thinking fiercely, "I have to get my revenge..."

"Still not convinced?" Jiang Zhe found it somewhat amusing, but upon seeing her defeated expression, he felt a little helpless. She was clearly the kind of person who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and she wouldn't even blink an eye at twenty strings of cash, which was almost two months' salary for me!

Rolling his eyes, Jiang Zhe said, "Wow, you really have a lot of money. You just spent twenty strings of cash... Do you want to spend another twenty strings?"

Seeing Jiang Zhe deliberately bring up this matter, the woman, disguised as a young master, gritted her teeth in anger and said, "Hmph! Don't mention twenty strings of cash! Even two hundred strings! I wouldn't care! Shopkeeper, take my receipt to the Mi family later, and someone will naturally pay you in full..."

She meant that she didn't have that much money left, but she was still resentful and wanted to vent her anger.

"Oh, the Mi family..." Jiang Zhe said in an exaggerated tone, his eyes darting around. "No wonder, no wonder, they really are different from us..."

This bad guy... he's going to do something bad to that person again... Xiu'er smiled and remained silent.

"Hmph!" Hearing Jiang Zhe's "compliment," the "young master" thought Jiang Zhe was afraid and became even more smug. Pointing at the bronze bracelet, he said, "Two strings of cash? I'll offer four!"

Wow, they're really rich and powerful! Jiang Zhe was quite envious. When would he be able to not care about money? Sigh... I'll teach this girl a lesson first!

With a wicked grin, Jiang Zhe said, "It's doubled in price all at once, tsk tsk tsk, I'll bid four strings and one coin!"

"You... how much did you say?" The young master seemed not to have heard clearly, staring blankly at Jiang Zhe.

Even the shopkeeper seemed a bit dazed. Four strings of cash and one coin?

"Sigh..." Jiang Zhe sighed at Xiu'er, saying regretfully, "The Mi family is incredibly wealthy, they doubled the price with just one addition, truly impressive... We can't compete, we can only add one coin... It's really frustrating to compare ourselves to others..."

This person… Xiu'er lowered her head, smiling with pursed lips. She glanced at Jiang Zhe curiously, wondering where her husband had learned all this. That person must be furious…

You're the one who's going to drive me crazy! That "young master" clearly underestimated Jiang Zhe's thick skin; even his murderous glare couldn't embarrass Jiang Zhe in the slightest.

"What are you looking at!" Jiang Zhe ignored the two "lasers" and chuckled, saying, "This young master from the Mi family... are you going to raise the price?"

Now that the name "Mi Family" was added, the "young master" was in a bind. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Add more! Why not? I can afford this small amount! Six strings of cash!"

"Clap clap!" Jiang Zhe clapped his hands and continued to tease her, "As expected of the Mi family... As expected, then I'll offer six strings and one coin..." As he said this, Jiang Zhe was actually a little scared, afraid that this girl would suddenly not want him anymore, then Jiang Zhe would be at a huge loss.

Clearly, Jiang Zhe underestimated the significance of the Mi family in that woman's heart. She gritted her teeth and uttered a number, "Eight strings of cash!"

The maid beside the woman kept tugging at her mistress's sleeve. Even she could see that there was no end to the price increases. That scoundrel was clearly toying with his mistress by only adding one coin each time. But the mistress couldn't refuse, after all, she was the one who said she wanted to buy the bracelet, and that scoundrel had even mentioned the Mi family. What was she to do now... At this rate, let alone tens of coins, she wouldn't be able to keep it down to hundreds of coins...

"Tsk tsk, I'll pay..." Jiang Zhe wanted to add that extra coin, but he felt Xiu'er tug at his sleeve and whisper, "Husband, you shouldn't go too far... Never mind..."

Jiang Zhe thought for a moment, and realized that the Mi family was indeed one of the wealthiest families in Xuzhou. There was also a man named Mi Zhu who followed Liu Bei along with his brother, and his sister even became Liu Bei's concubine. What if... It was such a pity that the woman died. She even jumped into a well to commit suicide so as not to implicate Zhao Yun. It was truly lamentable... What a heroine among women! Unlike this woman, who just kept arguing and making a fuss. All she said was "woman"!

Seeing that Xiu'er was pleading for mercy, and fearing retaliation from the Mi family, Jiang Zhe thought for a moment and said calmly, "I don't want it anymore, you can have it..."

Huh? The woman looked at Jiang Zhe with surprise and doubt, thinking that this despicable scoundrel was being so kind as to let her go. When she saw that Xiu'er next to Jiang Zhe seemed to have said something to him, the woman was immediately filled with goodwill towards Xiu'er. She nodded to Xiu'er, her eyes showing gratitude. This matter could be big or small. What would she do if she ruined the Mi family's century-old reputation?

"What should I call you, sister?"

Xiuer saw the goodwill in the other person's eyes, so she said softly, "My name is Xiuer..."

"Sister Xiuer..." The woman called Xiuer "sister" as a way of thanking her for helping her out of a tight spot. She glanced at Jiang Zhe, leaned down, whispered a few words in Xiuer's ear, and then placed the pair of bronze bracelets in Xiuer's hands, pressing them firmly as she said, "Sister, do you not acknowledge me as your sister?"

"This..." Xiu'er hesitated for a moment, glanced at Jiang Zhe, and Jiang Zhe shrugged, indicating that she could handle it herself. In fact, he was thinking to himself, "Just take it. If it weren't for you, I would have suffered a huge loss today!"

"Well... thank you very much." Xiu'er still had a vague feeling of unease, but she couldn't resist the woman's insistence and finally accepted the gift.

The woman smiled slightly, turned to face Jiang Zhe, and immediately changed her expression, saying coldly, "You wicked man, it seems Sister Xiu'er is being ruined by being with you! Do you dare to say your name?"

Hey! I let you off the hook, and instead of being grateful, you're hurling insults at me? I curse you to never have a seasoning packet in your instant noodles... Pah! I curse you to become someone's concubine!

"My husband..." Seeing that Jiang Zhe didn't speak, Xiu'er had no choice but to speak, but before she could finish, Jiang Zhe interrupted her.

"What's there to be afraid of! It's just giving my name, I'm called Passerby A!" Jiang Zhe said fiercely.

Xiuer was dumbfounded.

Seeing that Xiu'er seemed about to laugh, Jiang Zhe quickly pulled her outside, saying as they walked, "Remember my name, I'm Passerby A!"

"Lu Renjia?" The woman frowned and thought for a while. When she looked up, she found that the two men were long gone. A feeling of discouragement filled her chest, as if she had suffered some injustice, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Never... never before has anyone dared to play me like this! Lu Renjia, you just wait! A woman's revenge is never too late...

"Xiao Zhao, give the shopkeeper a receipt, let's go!"

"Yes, young... young master."
