Chapter 243.2 - Enemies meeting on a narrow road
“Is the Countess after something from me?”
“So it’s like this, this Countess heard that your Jinsi building came out with a new jewellery set, especially for new brides. I want it, is this possible?” Ye Ji’s tone was a bit proud as she looked deeply at Shopkeeper Jin, there was also a small amount of menace in her eyes.
Shopkeeper acted as if she didn’t see it, saying pitifully, “Ah, what a pity, that set has just been bought by someone else. If the Countess would like, you could choose something else.”
“But this Countess likes that set. Tell that person to sell it to me, I’ll buy it, no matter the price.”
Shopkeeper Jin shook her head reluctantly, “This isn’t something that I have the power to do. But the buyer is here today, so maybe Countess could speak to her directly?”
“Oh?” Ye Ji’s eyes lit up, “Where is the buyer?”
“Isn’t she right behind you?” Shopkeeper Jin raised her hand and pointed behind her.
Ye Ji turned around and met Lou Qingwu’s eyes.
Instantly, her expression soured, with a bit of disbelief.
Lan Bai saw it and snorted, “Master, look at how quickly her expression changed.”
She tutted, “She really must be thinking, if she knew that you had just bought it, she shouldn’t have tried to provoke you just then because now how will she have the face to ask?” Lan Bai’s voice wasn’t too loud but it wasn’t too quiet either, just loud enough for everyone within the shop to hear.
There wasn’t a small number of noble wives in the store.
They had heard of the Night Prince and the third prince asking for the Lou family’s eldest daughter’s hand in marriage at the same time so when they saw Ye Ji provoke her, they clearly saw that too.
But even though they weren’t familiar with Lou Qingwu, they were the relatives of nobles so they had some good feelings towards her.
As for this Yuebai clan princess who came from who knows where, if she hadn’t said who she was, they really wouldn’t know her.
A lot of people looked at Ye Ji as if she was a joke.
Ye Ji’s expression became ugly but her expression quickly changed, her lips quickly became a smile. “Sister Wu, see, this really is, ah, who thought it would’ve been Sister Wu. I don’t know if you’d be happy to part with that set and give it to me? After all, it’s only three days to the big wedding day, if I don’t have a jewellery set, it really wouldn’t be a good look.”
Lan Bai really didn’t know she had the face to ask, after all that.
She was so mad she started to laugh, “Miss Ye, what don’t you understand? My master already bought it, so how could she sell it to you just like that? Also, you’re going to have your big wedding day but why are you speaking as if my master isn’t also about to get married?”
Ye Ji’s brows furrowed.
She was getting deep looks from people all around her and Ye Ji understood that she wasn’t going to get that jewellery set today.
Her expression soured and tried to smile, she was afraid if she did get into trouble, then brother Ye would be mad and that wouldn’t be worth it.
“Oh, I completely forgot because I was so excited, but if that’s the case, then I’ll choose another set.”
“Okay.” Lou Qingwu finally spoke, but her smile didn’t disappear, instead it just deepened.

TL note:
Surprise surprise, Ye Ji didn’t get the jewellery set she wanted.
