The Slender Waist-Chapter 633 - 458 One Command from the General

Feng Yun felt a sting in her heart and her brows unconsciously furrowed.

The shopkeeper saw her expression and, thinking she couldn’t afford it, snorted coldly, his face looking a hundred times uglier than before.

"If the lady is going to buy, then buy. If you can’t afford it, then get out quickly. It’s pouring rain, and your umbrella is dripping water all over my shop..."

To show his disdain, he even lifted his sleeve and waved it about as if shooing away flies.

This movement made Yuan Shangyi frown deeply.

"You are truly unreasonable..."

"I’m unreasonable?" The shopkeeper’s gaze fell on Yuan Shangyi’s face.

A skinny little child, with barely any flesh on his bones, which definitely suggested a poor family background.

He became even more certain of his thought.

This family must be of fallen status, perhaps once wealthy but now poor, certainly unable to afford such rare items as coal balls. Talking with them was a waste of breath...

"Get out, get out, get out. If you can’t afford it, you can’t afford it. What good is moral reasoning? Even if we speak of it, am I supposed to give you a few coal balls for free?"

Ge Guang’s face darkened.

Ge Yi reached toward his waist.

Unfortunately, for a better understanding of the people’s conditions, none of them had been carrying swords.

Both men glared at him and advanced with big steps; seeing their manner, the shopkeeper stepped back in fright, his face instantly turning pale.

"What’s this, can’t afford it so you want to rob it? I warn you, the Imperial Carriage has just passed through Baihe, and there are government officers patrolling everywhere in the city. If you dare to cause trouble, you will, you will regret it..."

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly—" Ge Guang grabbed the shopkeeper by the collar.

However, before he could finish, he heard Feng Yun cough lightly.

"Ge Guang, Ge Yi,"

She had a smile on her face, showing no signs of anger, "There is no need to take it out on him, let’s go."

The Ge brothers let go reluctantly but could not suppress their indignation.

Yuan Shangyi’s tightly pursed lips also looked extremely serious.

They had their men outside, and with just one word from him, this shopkeeper would be finished...

Yuan Shangyi, having been an emperor for so long, understood very well what power meant...

He wanted to call someone to teach this disrespectful shopkeeper a lesson.

But Feng Yun stepped ahead, gently holding his little hand.

"Let’s go, Ayuan."

Yuan Shangyi contained the fire burning in his chest and looked up at her.

"My lady, they have insulted you."

"It doesn’t matter." Feng Yun curved her lips and looked at him deeply, laughing quietly, "We can teach him a lesson in another way."

Yuan Shangyi uttered an ’oh’ and nodded his little head.

He knew his lady had many methods, but he had not expected that right after stepping out of the coal shop, Feng Yun would casually raise her voice.

"I thought we could cooperate with the shop owner and sell off our coal balls at a low price, but who knew the owner would send us away? Well then, it’s also good to look for another business..."

The shopkeeper was stunned.

It took him a moment to regain his composure. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Lady, please wait, what do you mean by your words just now?"

Feng Yun turned back, "I am from Huaxi, and I have plenty of low-priced coal balls..."

The shopkeeper’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

Feng Yun curled her lips, "Why would I bother to deceive you? You know your price for the goods and the quantity you can take. I have better goods, and the amount is unlimited; don’t you want it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, with such a good opportunity, of course, I want it." The shopkeeper was half in doubt but much more humble, "So, the young lady is from Changmen?"

Feng Yun smiled faintly and did not answer.

Her mysterious act made the shopkeeper believe her even more.

"Then, how should I find you to do business?"

Feng Yun said, "I will deliver the goods myself. The shopkeeper just needs to have the money ready."

The shopkeeper never imagined such a fortunate deal and immediately agreed, escorting her to the door and watching as Feng Yun approached the carriage surrounded by numerous attendants. Any remaining doubts in his heart were dispelled...

-

Pei Jue waited for her in the carriage.

Feng Yun said his reputation (notorious name) was well known, and fearing that someone would recognize him, making it harder to better show the Young Emperor "the conditions of the people," she had left him behind.

Back in the carriage, Feng Yun spoke little, while Pei Jue glanced at their expressions.

"What happened?"

Just as Ge Guang was about to answer, Feng Yun lifted the carriage curtain.

"Look across the street, isn’t there a shop for rent?"

Everyone looked intently in that direction.

Indeed, there was a shopfront with a wooden signboard hanging.

It listed the rental cost of the property...

Feng Yun smiled faintly and directed Ge Guang, "Rent it, find two reliable managers, and let’s open a direct coal ball supply shop right here."

Ge Guang stared at her in surprise, "But my lady, just now you said you would supply coal balls to the shopkeeper..."
