Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Went Out Without Reading the Almanac (2)_1

Mo Yan chuckled softly, crouched down in front of Qiuyue, and with her index finger, gently lifted Qiuyue’s chin to size her up. After a look at the grumbling Mo Erni, who seemed eager to rush over, she spoke to Qiuyue in a tone of pity that was half genuine and half feigned, "You don’t seem like a fool, so why would you let yourself be used as a pawn so easily? There’s animosity between Mo Erni and me, and no one knows her better than I do! She’s using you to get at me. Besides seeking revenge, she wants you to be loathed by your young mistress so she can have a chance to present herself in front of your mistress and take your place! Don’t be foolish enough to treat a poisonous snake as a sister, or else you won’t even know how you died in the end."

Qiuyue’s face changed, her eyes flickering with doubt and suspicion as she looked at Mo Yan, clearly not quite believing what she was saying.

Unfazed, Mo Yan added more fuel to the fire, "Miss Qiuyue, think again, do those two colors of fabric really suit you when worn?"

Qiuyue had dark skin and was not at all suited to wear clothes of lake blue or light green—something Qiuyue surely knew.

As expected, Qiuyue’s face turned unsightly upon hearing Mo Yan’s words, her cold gaze shooting towards Mo Erni, looking like she had utterly detested Mo Erni now.

Seeing this, Mo Yan nodded in satisfaction and turned to Wu’s and the others, "Don’t hold her back, let her do it! She’s the kind of person who doesn’t need anyone else to act against her, she will sooner or later bring about her own downfall!"

Having said that, she no longer watched the ensuing commotion, took the fabric from the now-stupefied shopkeeper, and walked straight out of the Cloth Shop.

Mo Erni’s arrogance was just the bluster of someone relying on others; now that Qiuyue likely hated her to death, Mo Erni would not have an easy time in the days to come without Mo Yan even lifting a finger.

As for the Young Mistress Lin they mentioned, though she didn’t know how powerful Lin Mansion was, Mo Yan was by no means truly afraid of her!

If that so-called Young Mistress Lin was petty and insisted on taking a stand for a servant, she would have to weigh whether it was worth it or not! After all, Yan Junyu was her own backer. Although their relationship was not that close, with the initial agreement in place, Yan Junyu would not just stand by and do nothing. And in Jing City, there were probably not many families who dared to oppose him.

Although relying on another’s power was not quite satisfying, it was definitely better than being bullied without any means to retaliate!

Moreover, Qiuyue would likely seek compensation from Mo Erni for everything she’d endured today. Regardless of whether Mo Yan’s previously twisted words had any effect, she would not take the matter to Young Mistress Lin because doing so would bring her no benefit. As for Mo Erni, a servant who couldn’t even rank herself before her master, she was even less of a concern.

On the street, Xinger Danier and a few others stared at Mo Yan with shining eyes, wishing she could teach them how to argue properly. Those two had been so arrogant and even brought out a powerful figure to threaten them, yet her sister (Yan Sister) resolved it all with just a few words, and even the fabric they liked returned to their hands—it was simply too impressive!

As Mo Yan was being watched all the way, she helplessly shook her head after a few unsuccessful attempts to dissuade them and spotted the Duobao Pavilion not far ahead. She decisively darted in; few women could resist the temptation of Treasure Pavilion, and using its jewelry to divert their attention was perfect.

Suddenly, seven or eight people surged in, instantly bringing life to the somewhat deserted and quiet Duobao Pavilion, drawing the attention of other patrons.

Mrs. Du, having picked out a headdress, came out from the private room and immediately noticed the child at the front of the group, the very thought of whom caused her enduring heartache. She walked over excitedly, ignoring the astonished looks from those around her, and called out softly, "Yanyan..."
