Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Qian Chuanzi: The Young Master_1 Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Qian Chuanzi: The Young Master_1 As she calculated the new mooncake designs and counted the remaining cakes, Lin Yuan hummed a tune, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Suddenly, a man’s voice rose nearby, “Wow, these mooncakes are quite fresh, each costing two taels of silver!

Is the filling made of silver ground into powder or what?”

Because the double-yolk mooncakes were made in limited quantities but sold extremely well, Lin Yuan had impulsively raised the price to two taels of silver each.

Upon hearing these obviously provocative words, Lin Yuan knew for sure that someone was envious of her thriving business.

Sure enough, when she looked up, she saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth casually tossing a bean paste mooncake in his hand, his skilled movements somewhat resembling the street performers’ juggling acts!

“Hmph!” Lin Yuan stopped working, crossed her arms, and provocatively retorted, “My dear sir, that mooncake in your hand is not worth two taels!”

“Oh?” The youth raised his eyebrows, stroked his chin with one hand, and squinted with interest as he asked, “Could it be that the lady fancies how handsome and elegant I am and has fallen for me, so she intends to give me a mooncake for free?”

Lin Yuan almost sprayed this narcissist with a mouthful of blood.

Before she could speak, the youth had already brought the mooncake to his lips, “Since that’s the case, how could I let down the lady’s kind intentions?

I shall reluctantly accept your little gift.

Hey, why are you stealing my mooncake?”

Lin Yuan was quick to snatch away the mooncake that was almost contaminated by his saliva, holding it between just two fingers with a look of disgust, “Sir, that’ll be ten taels of silver!

To ensure fairness in business, I must state the price before you eat, lest someone later refuses to pay!”

Refuse to pay?!

The youth was first shocked by Lin Yuan’s swift mooncake heist, then infuriated by her pointedly curved orchid fingers, and now he was choked by her implication that he was the type who would eat without paying.

Hadn’t he always been the one bullying others?

How did he get overpowered by this girl barely in her teens today?

No, no, this wouldn’t do at all.

If Lao Fan, that stinky old man, found out, wouldn’t he be the laughing stock forever?

Wait, why did this girl’s tone sound so familiar?

Xia Zheng frowned as he scrutinized the feisty young woman he seemed to have encountered somewhere before.

Lin Yuan felt uncomfortable under his gaze, thinking he had lecherous intentions, and clutched the mooncake tightly, ready to give him a good thrashing should his lusty nature surface!

Seeing her actions, Xia Zheng immediately remembered the day he was hit in the forehead by a pebble, “Ah!

So it’s you!”

The moment Lin Yuan heard his voice pitch rise by an octave, she slapped the mooncake, now spoiled by his dirty hands, flat and screamed back, “What you and me!

Don’t try to get chummy with this lady.

If you’re not buying mooncakes, get lost!

Don’t block my way to making silver!”

Grieving over the unsellable cake, Xia Zheng clutched his heart and wailed in misery, “You, you wasteful woman!

That was worth ten taels of silver, ten taels!

And you’ve just smashed it to bits!

Wasteful woman, let’s see how you manage to get married!

Who would dare marry you!

Wasteful woman!”

After being called a “wasteful woman” three times, Lin Yuan’s face turned green with rage.

Where did this Qian Chuanzi come from, not only blocking her business but also accusing her of being wasteful!

Such a waste of his fine silk duds, exuding nothing but the stench of money!

“Wasteful?

Which of your eyes saw me being wasteful, huh?

The lady here works for her living, earning money to support the family, all on her own, without relying on any man.

And you have the audacity to accuse me of being wasteful!” Lin Yuan stood with hands on hips, chest puffed out now somewhat bigger than before, pointing at Young Master Qian Chuanzi and backing him into a corner, “You’re the wasteful one!

A good-for-nothing wastrel!

The true spendthrift who lives off his father’s wealth is you!

I bet if you were stripped naked and thrown onto the street, you’d be dead from hunger and cold in less than three days, not even a scrap of you left!”

Either frightened by Lin Yuan’s ferocious rebuking or stunned by her words, Xia Zheng’s mouth hung open, and she pushed him back step by step until his body hit the edge of a nearby stall’s table.

But it seemed she wasn’t done scolding him yet.

With hands still on her hips, she grabbed a fruit knife from the adjacent fruit stall, its gleaming blade causing his eyes to smart painfully.

“You oblivious rich brat, watch your mouth!

In your free time, go saunter around on a horse or visit a brothel, but stop lingering around me!

If you dare block my business again, I’ll castrate you, curse you to a life without progeny and happiness!”

Although Xia Zheng was born into wealth, he definitely wasn’t the type who only knew how to horse around and visit brothels as she suggested.

Though he didn’t understand what “rich second generation” meant, the hateful sneer on her face left no doubts that it was no compliment.

“Alright, you little brat!

First, you ambushed me with pebbles, now you’re calling me a rich second generation!

Which eye of yours saw me as someone who only squanders?

I may love money, but a gentleman seeks wealth in a proper way, I haven’t— Hey, what are you doing?

Keep that knife away, ouch, my robe!

You’ll pay for my robe, ouch my shoes, don’t step on them, my feet are about to break, you rabid woman!

Beware, you won’t get married behaving like this!”
