Chapter 168

An ordinary item, endowed with an extraordinary story.

Combined, the value multiplies.

This guy... turns out to be a merchant.

However...

Duan Yu raised an eyebrow.

This guy is a shrewd marketing genius.

He could figure out marketing on his own in this era?

He is a talent!

It's just that the animal skin... should be fake.

Just as Duan Yu was pondering, a woman's puzzled voice suddenly rang out behind the man.

"Eh."

"It's you."

Hearing the voice, Duan Yu turned his head to look.

Not far from the inn entrance.

Zhen Jiang, dressed in white as snow, was stepping down from a carriage.

The one speaking was the maid beside Zhen Jiang.

Duan Yu had seen her before at Longshan.

"You're here peddling your animal skins again." The little maid looked at Jia Dong and giggled: "Did you sell that white fox skin last time? Why did you change to a red one today?"

Jia Dong: "..."

Duan Yu: "???"

Liu Bai Tu: "Hm?"

Chen Qing'an: "Hm?"

Hearing the little maid's words, Jia Dong's face instantly turned awkward.

He had just said this was the only fox skin, but the little maid's words exposed him.

It was very clear that this was not the first time he had done this.

And even the color of the fox skin in his hand had changed.

Clearly, this was a scam.

"Well... you two, I just remembered, I'm still boiling porridge at home, I have things to do, so I'll be going first..."

As he spoke, Jia Dong immediately put away the fox skin, wrapped his wolf-skin cloak around himself, and slipped away in a flash.

"Cui'er."

Zhen Jiang, beside the little maid, gave her a reproachful look.

The little maid, wearing a light green dress, stuck out her tongue and giggled: "Miss, I just didn't want to see him scamming people."

"Old Madam said that business should be based on integrity, and he is clearly scamming."

"And he wanted ten gold for a fox skin, using Lord Duan's name; this is clearly smearing Lord Duan's reputation."

"I just wanted to expose him."

Zhen Jiang smiled lightly upon hearing this: "Alright, he's already been scared away by you."

"Let's go, the Lord Duan you've been thinking about day and night is here."

The little maid giggled and said: "It's not that this servant is thinking about him day and night, it's Miss who is."

"Miss was so anxious getting on the carriage just now, she almost twisted her ankle."

Zhen Jiang's face turned red instantly.

"You maid, see if I don't punish you."

The little maid wasn't afraid, smiling cutely.

Little did they know, their conversation and expressions were all seen by Duan Yu.

Listening to the conversation between the mistress and the servant, Duan Yu smiled slightly.

Chen Qing'an and Liu Bai Tu looked through the window at Duan Yu sitting in the inn.

Duan Yu raised his head and gave a wink in the direction where the man had just disappeared.

Chen Qing'an and Liu Bai Tu reacted immediately.

"I'll go, you stay here." Liu Bai Tu said calmly.

Chen Qing'an nodded, seemingly remembering something, and added: "Go easy on him."

Liu Bai Tu turned his head and chuckled.

Outside the inn, Zhen Jiang was talking to the little maid when she felt a special gaze fall upon her.

Following the direction of the gaze, the next second, Zhen Jiang froze in place. ===== CHAPTER 170 =====
