Xiaofeng shook his head, but his eyes were also red, "Big sister, this is broken." He said, indicating the ground.
"It doesn’t matter." Yang Ruxin patted Xiaofeng’s head, "As long as you are fine." With that, she handed Xiaofeng over to Sanni, who had caught up, and then she herself bent down to pick up the jade pendant that had broken into two pieces, and looked apologetically at the man in front of her, "I’m sorry, it’s my brother’s fault, this item cannot be restored after being broken, I can only compensate you for it, name your price."
Yong Cang looked closely at Yang Ruxin, the girl seemed somewhat frail, but her features were delicate, it was clear that in a little while, as she grew, she would definitely be a beauty, especially those eyes, perfectly shaped like apricots, and when she smiled, they’d curve slightly like a clear spring, irresistibly inviting one to immerse in them.
"Hey." Sanni couldn’t stand it anymore and took a step forward, "What’s wrong with you? We have apologized and are even offering you compensation, and here you are leering at my big sister? Still looking? Keep looking and I will gouge out your eyeballs..."
"You dare!" Shi Tian moved a step forward behind them.
"Want to try?" Sanni began to roll up her sleeves, while Zhou Xiao stood protectively by her side.
Yong Cang snapped back to reality, somewhat surprised as he looked at the little girl who was standing with hands on her hips and glaring at him, he quickly raised his hand to stop Shi Tian, "Do not be rude."
And with that, Shi Tian retreated a step, pushing back the katana he had drawn out by about a foot.
Sanni snorted still.
Yang Ruxin didn’t speak but her brow furrowed slightly. Just listening to the conversation, although it felt a bit awkward, she had no reason to be suspicious. However, when that man had drawn his sword, she had become doubtful, thinking that the sword did not look like the weapons from the Central Plains, but rather like a katana from Dongying. Could it be that these two men were from the Wa Country?
If they were from the Wa Country, did that mean the sailing industry of this era was already well-developed? If that really was the case, did it mean many Western crops could have already been introduced? Then, her chili peppers...
"I have been impolite." Yong Cang coughed dryly, realizing he had indeed been inappropriate, but he had to find a respectable reason, "Just now I thought the lady very much resembled someone I used to know, which is why I was distracted, I did not intend to offend..."
Yang Ruxin quickly refocused her wandering thoughts and smiled faintly, "It’s fine, just name a price, I should compensate you."
"No need." However, Yong Cang shook his head, "This was just bought from a stall over there because I thought the pattern on it was quite unique, it’s not really worth much, you can go ask if you don’t believe me..."
Before Yang Ruxin could speak, Sanni took the broken jade pendant from her hand and ran over, returning shortly, "Big sister, the jade pendant was indeed purchased there, for one tael and three coins of silver, he didn’t haggle..."
Yang Ruxin nodded and then took out one tael and three coins and handed it over, "Even though you don’t mind, it’s my brother’s fault, so we should bear the responsibility, please accept it."
"Heh heh." Yong Cang didn’t accept the silver, "As the lady already said, it was an accident, and it was a child’s mistake, why should I care about it? Wouldn’t I appear petty if I did? It doesn’t matter whether it’s a hundred or a thousand taels, I bid you farewell!" and with that, he turned and walked away.
