Capítulo 769: Chapter 750: The Temptation from Spirit Jade (Extra 2)
Watching Spirit Jade sell the pink bracelet for such a high price, Lin Yi couldn’t help but rethink his strategy.
Firstly, a woman’s decoy tactic is equally effective on other won; one must never underestimate a woman’s sympathy.
Secondly, when won start competing, they can beco so extravagant that n simply cease to matter.
Lin Yi initially thought that if Spirit Jade could sell a 100 tael pink bracelet for 1000 taels of silver, she should have called it quits.
Who knew she would pull out a small box from the counter, which contained pink rings, earrings, a jade pendant, bead bracelets, necklaces, and more.
“Ladies, I’ve specifically kept these hidden for you.”
“Pink exudes luxury and romance, it can also enhance romantic luck. At ho, the masters will surely recall past romances upon seeing the pink on us sisters.”
“Feel free to choose anything, they are all of good quality.”
Seeing that everything was pink and that the jade items were smaller than her own pink bracelet, she directly took possession of the whole box.
“Spirit Jade, dear sister, I’ll take all of these. How much for everything?”
Mrs. Zhang’s grandeur left no room for other wealthy ladies.
Spirit Jade was in a tight spot but, not wanting to dampen the spirits of the other ladies, timidly quoted 2000 taels.
With a grand gesture, Mrs. Zhang imdiately agreed.
“Cui’er, go get the silver. I want to buy everything in this box to give as gifts to my dear sisters.”
Everyone was once again astonished; Mrs. Zhang purchased these pink accessories not for herself but to gift them to the wealthy ladies she ca with.
Such grand gestures were rare even among n.
Seeing Mrs. Zhang’s lavish spending, the other ladies wouldn’t be outdone; they looked at the display cabinets, continuously purchasing various types and sizes of jade.
Not only that, they also pressured the jade servers to bring out different colored accessories, which they also bought in full luxury.
After purchasing jade, they generally did not gift the larger pieces, but the smaller items were exchanged among them.
Mrs. Liu spent 4000 taels.
Mrs. Li spent 3000 taels.
Mrs. Zhao spent 2800 taels.
…
Nearly all the ladies who entered spent lavishly.
The jade girls were extrely busy, offering tea and water, and tirelessly praising each wealthy lady uniquely.
The second floor of the Jade Pavilion beca an important venue for wealthy wives to chat about family matters and foster friendships.
Lin Yi smiled satisfactorily, with a group of eloquent, studiously learning jade girls, the Prosperous Jade Pavilion had no worries about making money.
“Hehe, it seems buying jade in Gan County was a good choice.”
Just as Lin Yi sipped his tea to calm down, a silvery laughter sounded from behind.
It was Spirit Jade, walking over with a swaying slim waist.
Lin Yi had chosen a concealed spot, so almost nobody noticed when Spirit Jade approached.
Seeing Spirit Jade’s captivating and alluring eyes, Lin Yi knew exactly what she was up to without even thinking.
Sure enough, Spirit Jade leaned close to Lin Yi and perched her bottom lightly on Lin Yi’s lap.
A unique fragrance of a young girl instantly made Lin Yi unsettled.
Spirit Jade had grown up in a temple during her childhood, those calm and profound eyes were like the deep sea, srizing.
“Cough cough.”
Lin Yi coughed lightly and whispered, “Miss Spirit Jade, this seems a bit inappropriate.”
Yet Spirit Jade felt nothing improper about her actions, and even boldly pulled up her already short cheongsam a bit higher, exposing a large expanse of snowy white skin.
Damn this fatal temptation!
If Lin Yi hadn’t been sitting cross-legged earlier, he probably wouldn’t have managed to hide this.
“Great General Lin, how was my performance today? Are you still satisfied?” Spirit Jade’s eyes locked tightly onto Lin Yi’s.
She simply didn’t give him any chance to escape.
Lin Yi exerted all his strength to suppress his passion and forced himself to calm down.
“Spirit Jade, please get up, let’s talk properly.”
‘I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to explode, help, sobody help !’
‘Madam, do you realize you’re playing with fire, particularly my fire, which can’t be kindled here, you’re torturing .’
He dared not move an inch, fearing that any poor control could lead to a terrible mistake.
At that mont, Lin Yi noticed Ouyang Qian observing the house from the first floor.
“Sang Ya!”
Lin Yi softly called out, praying that Ouyang Qian could hear him.
But in the next second, Spirit Jade’s arms suddenly draped over Lin Yi’s shoulders, forcibly twisting his head around.
Lin Yi was finished, confronted with Spirit Jade’s aggressive advances, his defenses were gradually breaking down.
He had hoped to repeatedly call out to attract Ouyang Qian’s attention, but now that seed hopeless.
“Spirit Jade, stop fooling around, get up, or else I will have to order soone to arrest you for disrupting the court official’s inspection.”
Inside, Lin Yi felt burning hot, but his whole body was stiff, not daring to move recklessly.
He thought by using his official authority he could intimidate Spirit Jade into retreating.
Contrary to expectations, these did not matter at all to Spirit Jade.
“Hmph, I don’t believe the Great General Lin would dare to lock up. I haven’t committed any wrongdoing, plus I’ve earned so much silver for the court.”
“Great General Lin, I am just—”
“What? Are you causing a disturbance during Great General Lin’s inspection?”
A stern voice ca from behind, frightening Spirit Jade so badly that she staggered to her feet from Lin Yi’s lap, hurriedly pulling her dress back into place.
It was Ouyang Qian.
Lin Yi felt as if he had seen his savior, relieved as Spirit Jade stood up.
Ouyang Qian glared at the troublemaker, Spirit Jade, and stepped closer, saying,
“Miss Spirit Jade, shouldn’t you be properly selling your jade outside? How co you ended up here with the Great General Lin?”
In public, daring to seduce her Prince Consort, of course, Ouyang Qian couldn’t swallow this insult.
Seeing that Ouyang Qian was serious, Spirit Jade paled, hurriedly begging, “Inspector Ouyang, it’s my fault, I was confused, not the fault of Great General Lin.”
At this mont, Spirit Jade was still speaking in defense of Lin Yi because she knew, despite her sitting on Lin Yi’s lap, Lin Yi didn’t push her away imdiately.
This implied that Lin Yi had feelings for her.
What she didn’t know was that this little sche had long been seen through by Ouyang Qian.
While Spirit Jade hopelessly looked at Lin Yi, wishing for him to intercede for her, Lin Yi’s gaze was fixed entirely on Ouyang Qian.
“Great General Lin, how do you wish for to handle this?” Ouyang Qian seed to be consulting Lin Yi’s opinion, but there was absolutely no room for negotiation in her eyes.
Indeed, Ouyang Qian’s gaze was telling Lin Yi that she was determined to properly discipline Spirit Jade.
Seducing a “eunuch” in broad daylight, was she looking for bigger trouble?
