Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 295 - 294: A Rip-off

She thought for a while and decided to go back and tell her mother. It’s best for her to handle it!

The Eldest Young Master, who had undergone surgery to remove the poison needle, needed to stay in bed and recuperate, taken care of by the two young servants, Ye Cheng and Ye Gong, whom the Ye Family had dispatched.

The two young servants were quiet by nature, steady and reliable in their work, and attentive in caring for a patient.

Lu He was still in a tiff with Zhao Jun. After learning that he had surgery, she felt concerned but usually sought out Ah Zhi or Shen Chen for updates, avoiding direct contact with him.

When Ye Zhi and Shen Chen went to visit Zhao Jun, he inquired about Lu He again.

The two children turned to look at each other and blinked.

Can’t these adults be a bit more mature?

Why not just admit fault first? Asking back and forth like this...

Ultimately, the two children expressed that they didn’t understand the adult world.

A few days passed by, and when Shen Chen inadvertently let slip to Zhao Jun that the Ye Family seemed to be looking for a suitor for Lu He, he couldn’t hold it in any longer. Lying on the bed, his face pale, he pleaded with Shen Chen to bring Lu He over.

If only he had known it would come to this, why be so stubborn before...

Admitting the mistake earlier would have resolved everything.

Shen Chen obeyed and obediently brought her over, then stepped out to leave space for the two of them.

He thoughtfully closed the door on his way out~

Now he and Ah Zhi wouldn’t have to be their go-betweens anymore.

Happily sharing this with Ah Zhi, the two were so delighted that they planned to go out for fun at night...

They planned to visit the street market to play ring toss. Last time, Ye Zhi had her eye on a handmade white-feathered Yunrui crane at a small stall. Despite numerous tries, they couldn’t win it. She had gone with Huanhuan last time, tossing twenty rings without success, leaving empty-handed and disappointed.

This time she’s bringing Little Traitor along to see if they can win it.

"Xiao Chen, that Yunrui crane is beautifully carved, probably crafted by some expert. But for some reason, it ended up at a small stall, and still, none of our attempts have succeeded. Try helping me tonight,"

The young girl pouted her red lips in a cute manner, her dewy eyes gazing at him appealingly.

How could Shen Chen possibly refuse, answering lofty and heroically on the spot, "Alright, I’ll help you." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

That evening, the two of them sprang into action.

Among the bustling night market crowd, there were all sorts of stalls~

Lanterns dangled high, contributing bright light to the night market streets.

Arriving at the small stall, the vendor greeted enthusiastically with rings in hand, "Come on, young lady, young sir, would you like to give it a try? We’ve got an abundance of things here."

The ground was adorned with an array of vividly crafted wooden objects.

The crane had a distinctive shape, proud and sharp, as upright as jade, echoing the poetic line, "With the clear dawn, phoenix-like cranes bring auspicious signs," from "The Picture of the Auspicious Cranes."

Among the many animals, Shen Chen immediately spotted it.

With questioning eyes, he looked at the young girl, was this the challenge that had evaded her grasp after twenty ring toss attempts?

Ye Zhi responded quickly, nodding affirmatively, "Yes, yes, that’s the one."

The duo spent five coins, purchasing ten rings~

Resolute in capturing the crane to take home.

Xiao Chen’s first instinct upon holding the rings was to detect a problem; they were too light, likely tampered with.

Thus, he wasn’t in a rush to throw them, first practicing repeatedly in preparation, internally vowing to teach the owner a lesson. While earning money at a small stall is not easy, deceiving others like this is not right either.

The proprietor stood nearby with a gleeful expression, likely having duped quite a few before them.

The first ring fell deliberately short.

Seeing this, the owner grinned even wider.

Ye Zhi quickly comforted him softly, worried he might feel discouraged, "It’s okay. We still have more rings. No rush, no rush."
