The shorter woman was already furious when An Yi took the jade pendant. Now she was even more furious when she saw her sister standing on An Yi's side and advising her not to fight for it.
After saying that, she pretended to step forward and take the jade pendant from An Yi.
"Sister!" The taller woman was anxious and tightly grasped the shorter woman's arm. "This is not Jiuzhou City. We have just settled down. Don't cause trouble."
Jiuzhou City? When the taller woman mentioned this place, it immediately caught Ling Qingwan's attention.
No wonder they didn't know An Yi. Jiuzhou City is very far from Dongjing City, and it can be regarded as the most remote city in Dai Viet. Because it borders the other two countries, it is mainly engaged in cross-border business. Although the geographical location is not superior, it is also very prosperous, second only to Dongjing City in Dai Viet.
If her guess was correct, these two women should be the imperial merchants who had won the bidding recently and came to Tokyo to celebrate the New Year.
An Yi grew up in the imperial city and had never been to Jiuzhou City. Today was the first time for the two women to meet the princess. If the shorter woman knew An Yi's identity, she would not dare to oppose her.
"Go away!" The shorter woman was so angry that she pushed the taller woman away impatiently.
This push pushed the slightly taller woman heavily to the ground.
"Am I your sister or is she your sister? You have been speaking for her from the beginning. Did she secretly give you any benefits?" The shorter woman was aggressive and pointed her finger at An Yi while scolding.
An Yi frowned, her little face flushed with anger.
"What are you talking about? You are not right, but you are good at turning right into wrong and blaming others for something else!" An Yi stuffed the jade pendant into Ling Qingwan's hand, took a few steps forward angrily, and argued with the shorter woman.
Under normal circumstances, Ling Qingwan would always stop An Yi when encountering such a thing. But seeing the slightly taller woman sitting timidly on the ground, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
This woman's experience is somewhat similar to her previous life.
"Give me the jade pendant!" the shorter woman roared.
"What if I don't give it to you? Are you going to kill me?" An Yi snorted coldly and gave the shorter woman a disdainful look.
"Then you just wait and see. My father is the richest businessman in Jiuzhou City and knows many dignitaries. If you offend me today, I will make you die miserably tomorrow."
The shorter woman gritted her teeth and threatened An Yi viciously.
"Since your father knows so many dignitaries, you can go back and ask him if he knows me." An Yi raised her head slightly and looked down at the shorter woman.
After all, she was a child of a prince, and her aura was stronger than that of an average person, overwhelming the woman in front of her. Ling Qingwan was originally worried that An Yi would suffer, but now she was relieved.
With An Yi's mouth, I hope she doesn't make the shorter woman angry to death.
"Who do you think you are?" As expected, the shorter woman did not take An Yi's words to heart. She just thought she was a clown and not as valuable as herself.
"An Yi?"
A familiar voice reached her ears, still so clear and pleasant, and Ling Qingwan couldn't help but tremble all over.
Since that day in the General's Mansion, she and Wei Xun had a quarrel, and the two had never met again. Ling Qingwan tried hard to suppress her panic, pretending to be calm, nodded to Wei Xun, moved to the side of the slightly taller woman, and helped her up.
For a long time, she thought she had let it go.
Ling Qingwan blamed herself for not living up to her expectations and sighed secretly.
"Brother Wei Xun!" When An Yi saw Wei Xun coming, she knew she had a backer. She jumped towards Wei Xun and pulled him to the shorter woman.
"It was her. I had my eyes on this jade pendant and was thinking of giving one to Wanwan and I. We were about to pay for it when she showed up and insisted on snatching it from me. She even threatened to make me die miserably."
An Yi pouted and told Wei Xun what had just happened as if she was complaining.
Perhaps An Yi mentioned Ling Qingwan, Wei Xun raised his head and glanced at Ling Qingwan vaguely. Ling Qingwan said nothing, looking forward with an indifferent face, without even glancing at Wei Xun.
She also didn't notice that there was a hint of disappointment in Wei Xun's eyes.
"What? Are you scared? So you found a helper in the hope of scaring me? Let me tell you, my father knows all the royal relatives and high-ranking officials. Even if you call a hundred people, I only need to tell my father and you will all be finished!"
The shorter woman spoke arrogantly, but her eyes would glance at Wei Xun from time to time.
"Then what do you want to do with her?" Wei Xun asked about An Yi as if no one was around, as if he couldn't hear what the shorter woman said.
"I'm going to slap her in the face, and I'll do it myself!" An Yi answered without hesitation.
An Yi couldn't swallow being bullied so blatantly.
"Someone come!"
Wei Xun raised his voice and a guard came in, waiting for his instructions.
The shorter woman was shocked when she saw this scene.
"What are you doing? You want to abuse lynching in broad daylight? Is there any law?" said the shorter woman, backing away.
Wei Xun signaled, and the guards stepped forward and restrained the shorter woman.
"Sister!" The taller woman couldn't let go of her sister and wanted to stop Wei Xun, but was grabbed by Ling Qingwan and pulled back.
"It's because of her blind pampering and indulgence that she has become what she is now. It would be better to let her suffer a little so that she can learn her lesson." Ling Qingwan lowered her voice and spoke earnestly to the taller woman.
She looked at the slightly taller woman, and her mind flashed back to her past life, in which she had once blocked punishment for Ling Chuchu without hesitation.
"In Tokyo City, the princess is the law." Wei Xun spoke, his voice was neither loud nor soft, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
Fortunately, the shop door was closed, so it didn't cause any big noise.
The shorter woman turned pale upon hearing this, and stared at An Yi with wide eyes. An Yi was very proud, raised her eyebrows at the shorter woman and made a face.
"Go ahead." Wei Xun said with a smile, being very accommodating to An Yi.
The crisp sound of slaps filled the whole room. An Yi was really angry and hit her very hard. After only five or six slaps, the shorter woman's face began to turn red and swollen.
"Princess!" The taller woman couldn't help herself and broke away from Ling Qingwan's hand, kneeling beside the shorter woman. "My little sister is young, ignorant, and blind. I have offended you. Please be magnanimous and forgive her today."
Seeing this, Ling Qingwan also stepped forward and advised An Yi to stop at that time. A few lessons would be enough and there was no need to remember it so clearly.
"You are also a weirdo. Your sister treated you like this, and you still speak up for her." An Yi didn't know what to say. She felt a little disappointed with the taller woman.
"For the sake of Wanwan and your sister, I will spare you. I advise you to behave yourself during your stay in Tokyo City and don't run into me again. Otherwise, this won't be solved with just a few slaps."
An Yi clapped her hands, turned and left the store.
Ling Qingwan was being pulled away by An Yi. She turned around and saw the taller woman helping the shorter woman up. She suddenly felt something was wrong.
