Chapter 1643: Earning Small Money Quietly

The original owner and Liang Wan were both rich girls from Suzhou, but their personalities and experiences were completely different.

Liang Wan was a girl who had been spoiled by her family since she was young. She was simple-minded but loved to compete. Until this moment, she had not realized that she had been tricked by Shi Li, and she even felt very proud of having snatched what Shi Li wanted.

Shi Li returned to the shop, looked at the account with satisfaction, and answered the shopkeeper's question, "Of course she is someone we know well, otherwise why would she support our business so much? She just likes to say the opposite of what she means."

But she was also very curious, why did Liang Wan go to Yangzhou?

The question soon had an answer.

As the year draws to a close, many well-connected and wealthy families will host banquets for families with whom they have good relations, in order to strengthen their relationships.

The Liu family told the public that Liu Qihan was out on a business trip, but this did not exempt him from social engagements.

Liu's mother is now focusing all her attention on the outskirts of the city and doesn't care much about the Liu family's affairs. Almost all the socializing matters fall on Shi Li alone.

As a young girl, she had to socialize with a group of noble ladies all the time. There was nothing she could do about it. But considering that Liu's father gave her so much share, she regarded the socializing as a reward.

This time, Shi Li came to attend the banquet prepared by Mrs. He, a wealthy businessman from Yangzhou. When he arrived at He's house, he met Liang Wan again.

She changed into a set of jeweled headwear, still luxurious, and wore a white tiger cloak similar to the one Shi Li wore that day. When she saw Shi Li, she deliberately shook the hem of the cloak.

Shi Li: ...

For a moment, she didn't know whether to laugh at Liang Wan's childishness or say that she was learning to be shrewd.

"I heard that Young Master Liu has been away on a business trip for more than half a year and hasn't even come back to see you?" Liang Wan took the initiative to come forward this time, with an expression of gloating that she did not hide at all.

Shi Li looked at her quietly.

She can tolerate it once, she can tolerate it twice, but she won’t tolerate it forever.

"The Cunjindan on your face looks really nice. I guess I'll have to ask the shopkeeper to buy a few more boxes to put in the shop next time."

Liang Wan's eyes widened immediately, "What do you mean?"

"Means nothing."

Shi Li smiled and walked past her, her eyes as clear as water, "A frog in a well cannot talk about the sea, and a summer insect cannot talk about ice."

Liang Wan, who had not received much education since childhood, did not understand what Shi Li said, but she understood the meaning of the previous sentence. She immediately realized that she had been tricked and chased after her angrily.

"Stop!"

Just then, Shi Li had already walked into the reception area. Many ladies and young ladies had already arrived there. Liang Wan's loud voice attracted everyone's attention.

As the host, Madam He immediately frowned and looked at Liang Wan, "What are you doing?"

"Aunt, I..." Liang Wan shrank her neck, and her momentum immediately dropped.

She came to her uncle's house in Yangzhou this time for no other reason than to get married.

She had been arrogant and domineering in Yangzhou before, and when she reached the age of marriage, no one took the initiative to propose to her.

The Liang family secretly asked several families but none of them were willing to marry her. They had no choice but to entrust her to her uncle in Yangzhou, hoping to find a good marriage for her in Yangzhou.

Uncle is a relative, but aunt is just an in-law, she won't spoil Liang Wan like others. Since she came to Yangzhou, her aunt has set many rules for her.

"Don't be surprised, Madam He. Miss Liang and I are old acquaintances. Miss Liang came to my shop a few days ago to take care of the business."

Shi Li saw the clues and smiled to help, not for Liang Wan, but for Madam He. We were all in the same circle, and we would see each other every day, so we had to give her some face.

Mrs. He's complexion improved, and she smiled at Shi Li with great sincerity, "I almost forgot that your family is also in Suzhou. Come and sit next to me. I have specially prepared Suzhou snacks for you today!"

This conversation diverted everyone's attention from Liang Wan, but she felt aggrieved and secretly glared at Shi Li.

Everybody sit down, talk and laugh, flatter each other whether real or fake, and just have fun.

Thirty minutes into the banquet, a maid came in and whispered something to Shi Li's maid who came with her dowry. The maid's face changed slightly, and she then leaned close to Shi Li's ear.

"Miss, the old lady sent someone to urge you to go back early, saying that there is something urgent."

Shi Li turned her head to look at the maid who came with her as a dowry.

The maid curled her lips and said, "I heard that the person who came to deliver the letter has not left yet and has been waiting at the door."
