Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 173: Lantern Festival 2

The two came to the place where they rented the boat and saw Yun Yan and Yu Fengfeng arguing with a man and a woman from afar.

When I got closer, I saw clearly that the man and woman were Zhou Ling and Zhou Wenli.

There was also a man and two girls who I had seen in the pastry shop before.

"What's going on?" Ying Tianchen asked in a deep voice.

When they heard Ying Tianchen's question, the quarreling stopped abruptly.

Zhou Ling turned around and saw Yun Xi, and rolled her eyes without any concealment.

Yun Xi was not to be outdone and rolled her eyes at her.

Yu Fengfeng replied truthfully, "Master, Miss Yun, this is the only boat left. We came here and paid the money, but these two people insisted that they booked the boat first."

Yun Xi frowned, "What did the boatman say?"

The boatman was a man in his early 30s. He said with a sad face, "This boat was indeed booked by this young man and young lady..."

Before the boatman finished speaking, Zhou Ling snorted at Yun Xi, "Did you hear me? We booked this boat first, so it's ours."

Yun Xi glanced at her indifferently before looking at the boatman, "Go on."

The boatman continued, "I also promised beforehand that if they didn't come by 12:30 pm, I would take another guest and return the deposit. This gentleman and lady were late, so I agreed to it and took the money. But now this lady and gentleman don't want the deposit back, they want the boat."

Yun Yan also said, "That's right, they were very unreasonable. They were late themselves, but they still stopped the boatman from leaving."

Yun Xi understood the situation and knew that the other party was in the wrong, so she decided not to indulge him.

He said coldly, "Get out of the way."

"No, Yunxi, I tell you, we booked this boat a long time ago and it must be ours." Zhou Ling said.

Then she said to the boatman, "Boatman, we'll offer double the price."

The boatman looked embarrassed and said, "Miss, I have already received their money."

"Just withdraw."

"Ah, this is against the rules."

"Three times the price." Zhou Ling raised her chin, looking determined to win.

The boatman was also a little tempted, "This, this, this..."

After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't clearly refuse Yun Xi and the others.

Zhou Ling threatened directly, "Boatman, you better think it over carefully. These two are just country bumpkins from the countryside. But we are different."

As she spoke, she pointed to her companion beside her.

"These are the eldest sons and daughters of the Deng family. Are you sure you want to offend our Deng family because of these two bumpkins?"

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, this is just a case of taking advantage of the power of others."

She didn't even have the Southern King standing next to her, bah, she didn't even take advantage of him, just the Deng family...

and many more.

She moved closer to Ying Tianchen and asked, "What's the situation at the Deng Mansion?"

Ying Tianchen shook his head, "I don't know."

Yun Xi was dumbfounded, "You still don't understand?"

Ying Tianchen: "I know all the officials and noble families in the capital, but I have never heard of the Deng Mansion."

"Oh I got it."

Yun Xi suddenly realized that the Deng family was just a second-rate family.

Okay, we can continue with the above statement: Zhou Ling thinks she is so great just because of the Deng family, and wants to bully others by taking advantage of her power. It is really funny.

"Boatman, how much is your boat? We'll buy it." Yun Xi said proudly.

"No, we have to buy it." Zhou Ling did not give in at all.

Yun Xi was too lazy to argue with her and directly gave the boatman a silver note worth one hundred taels.

The boatman was reluctant to sell the boat at first, but when he saw that it was for a hundred taels of silver, he immediately smiled.

"Thank you, young lady. Now this boat is yours."

Such a small boat is worth at most sixty or seventy taels, so I made a profit of one hundred taels.

Yun Xi nodded and walked towards the boat.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling got anxious and tried to pull Yun Xi.

"You are not allowed to board the ship. We have already booked this ship."

However, before she touched Yun Xi, Ying Tianchen stepped forward and waved his hand to open the hand that Zhou Ling extended to him.

Zhou Ling was thrown away and her balance was unstable.

With a splash, the whole person fell to the side and fell into the river.
