The crowd was slightly startled when they heard it, but the store assistant's eyes lit up and he apologized to everyone before leaving. Su Jian, being more carefree, stood up out of curiosity and said, "I'll go see which immortal it is." Shi Jin was also curious, and from what the person just said, it sounded like a chivalrous person.
He looked up and noticed that the boy named Li Kang had a strange expression on his face. He shifted his buttocks slightly, as if he wanted to stand up, but then sat back down.
Seeing Shi Jin glance over, Li Kang awkwardly smiled, picked up the wine glass in front of him, gestured as if he was about to drink, but seemed to remember something and put the glass back down.
At that moment, a commotion erupted from next door.
In the room, everyone was stunned. Wang De stood up and said, "I'll go take a look." The others also stood up, and Wang De led the way. As soon as they stepped out, they saw Su Jian coming out in a disheveled state from the next room.
Then a little maid came out of the door, put her hands on her hips, and scolded, "You look decent, but you're a sneaky little rascal!" Su Jian blushed and stammered, unable to speak. Wang De frowned and asked, "Su Xiong, what's going on?"
Su Jian said in a dejected tone, "Um... there are women inside."
Everyone suddenly realized that Su Jian had been quite rude to barge in like that.
Wang De glanced at the maid and then called out loudly into the room, "Dear guest inside, I am Wang De. We mean no harm, we are just curious to meet the noble hero who has shown such righteousness. We simply wish to see your esteemed face and make your acquaintance."
At this moment, a female voice was heard whispering in the room, followed by a low conversation. The young maid stood at the door, gazing intently at the group of people.
After a moment, a young scholar in a blue shirt emerged from the door.
When everyone saw this scholar, their eyes lit up.
The scholar had a beautiful face like jade, with red lips and white teeth, and a handsome appearance.
Shi Jin and Wang De both have outstanding looks, Shi Jin is handsome, Wang De is refined, but neither of them is as handsome as this scholar.
The scholar's eyes swept over the crowd and briefly paused on Shi Jin's face before turning to Wang De and saying, "So you are the son of the Marquis of the Stables. My wife and I were dining here, and our servants made a fuss. Please forgive the inconvenience." Although the man's words were polite, they carried an implicit accusation of rudeness.
Although Wang De felt slighted, he had his own pride. Seeing the other's aloofness, he chose not to say more and simply told the waiter, "The bill for this guest will be settled by me as an apology for our impoliteness."
The scholar, however, was unappreciative and said lightly, "Wang, why don't you ask me how much the meal on my end costs?"
Wang De proudly replied, "Although I am not wealthy, I can still afford a meal."
The scholar nodded and said, "Whether this meal is expensive or not, or whether it's frugal, it costs five guan!"
Wang De's face changed slightly. Money is not a problem, but this amount is equivalent to the ransom for that girl. But since he had already spoken, he couldn't go back on his word and nodded, saying, "Okay." The scholar looked at him with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Brother Wang can readily pay for a meal, but hesitates to spend money to save a person in distress."
Wang De's face darkened slightly, but he remained silent for a moment.
The scholar smiled lightly and said, "I will use this five guan from Brother Wang to redeem that girl, which can be considered as accumulating some merit for you."
On the side, Shi Jin saw Wang De's awkward expression and couldn't bear it. He could feel Wang De's goodwill towards him. Although he didn't know the reason, he couldn't let Wang De take the blame. After all, he couldn't let Wang De bear the responsibility for his cousin's trouble.
He paused for a moment and then smiled, saying, "This young lady... the gentleman seems to have misunderstood. We have already decided to help her pay the ransom."
Just now, he had some suspicions because the scholar looked too handsome.
He carefully observed and, although he couldn't see if there was an Adam's apple, the overly full chest exposed her true female nature.
The scholar turned to him and said, "Oh... I didn't hear that." Shi Jin smiled slightly and said, "The young master does listen carefully, but did you not hear me paying the deposit to them?" This was a sarcastic remark aimed at the scholar for eavesdropping on others' privacy, implying that the deposit was just a pretext.
The scholar gave him a glance and sneered, "You do have a sharp tongue!"
Shi Jin didn't get angry and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, I am honored."
The scholar was momentarily speechless by Shi Jin's lazy attitude.
Wang De saw Shi Jin step forward and win a game, feeling relieved. He said, "Exactly, everything has its order. We have already paid the deposit, so the girl should belong to us."
But the little maid was not happy and said coquettishly, "Another scoundrel! Young master, we can't let that girl be bought by them!"
The scholar glared at her, but then spoke, "I won't let the girl go to you, even if you've paid a deposit. I'll offer six coins to buy her."
Wang De smiled and said, "Seven coins!"
Although he wasn't interested in the girl, he couldn't lose face.
"Dou Fu, he really isn't afraid."
"Eight taels!" A delicate voice said.
The voice came from inside the private room.
Everyone looked towards the house upon hearing the sound, but the scholar standing at the door couldn't see who was inside. Several people instinctively looked at Su Jian, who awkwardly shook his head. He had just peeked inside and was immediately struck by a folding fan flying out from the house. He only caught a glimpse of a figure in red, but couldn't make out the details.
"Nine guan!" Su Jian exclaimed loudly. He had just been reprimanded by the other party, leaving him feeling embarrassed. Now, he was trying to regain his dignity.
The store assistant on the side was a bit dumbfounded. In the blink of an eye, a universally disliked ugly girl had become a hot commodity.
Shi Jin frowned slightly. He had just stepped in to help Wang De out, not to cause trouble for the other party. On the contrary, he quite admired the other's chivalrous behavior. Now that he saw both sides starting to quarrel, he regretted speaking out earlier. He cleared his throat and said, "Hold on, both sides are trying to help others. Engaging in a fight like this would only benefit that old madam."
The scholar snorted coldly, glanced at him, and said, "No matter how you behave, we won't let you get away with it."
