The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

Chapter 107: Stealing chicken but losing rice

The wedding date is approaching, and as a bride-to-be, Shen Tangan naturally has to go to the street to pick out some suitable jewelry in person.

She happened to take this opportunity to go out and take a look at the shop she had asked Xue Ji to set up, which was now mostly managed by Meng Shu.

Shen Qingwan hadn't been seen for a long time since the last search of the hospital. I didn't expect to meet her when I went out.

It is not difficult to see that she came prepared.

Shen Qingwan had a seemingly friendly smile on her face and was the first to speak: "Sister, are you going out to buy something? Do you mind if I go with you?"

She walked forward with a smile, lowered her eyes and bowed to Shen Tangan. Her gesture seemed respectful, but there was an imperceptible calculation hidden in her eyes.

Shen Tangan frowned slightly. Although he felt somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, he did not show it on his face.

She gently raised her hand, supported Shen Qingwan, and said lightly: "Since my sister is interested in this, it's okay for us to go together."

Her voice was clear and cold, like a mountain spring. Although pleasant to the ear, it carried a sense of alienation.

Shen Qingwan seemed not to notice Shen Tangan's indifference, and still said with a smile: "I just don't know what to buy, and now that my sister is around, she can help me with some advice."

There was a hint of flattery in her words, but there was a knife hidden in that smile.

She secretly thought in her heart that no matter what good things Shen Tangan wanted to buy, she would snatch it away for her. She just couldn't stand her in every way and wanted to make trouble for her!

Shen Tangan glanced sideways at Shen Qingwan, a barely perceptible hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.

She said slowly, "Sister, I have different tastes. You can choose whatever you like. Why do you need my advice?"

The tone was calm, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

The smile on Shen Qingwan's face froze for a moment, then returned to normal.

She smiled sweetly and said, "Sister, you have a unique vision. I believe that with you here, I will be able to buy what I want."

As she spoke, she observed Shen Tangan's reaction out of the corner of her eye.

"Then let's go together."

Shen Tangan looked at her with a smile and got on the carriage first.

Although I don't know what she is planning, it won't be easy to escape once I fall into her hands.

Shen Qingwan followed closely behind and got on the carriage. The atmosphere inside the carriage was a little depressing for a moment.

Shen Qingwan rolled her eyes and broke the silence first: "Sister, I heard that several jewelry stores have opened recently, with novel and unique styles. Why don't we go there and take a look?"

Shen Tangan glanced at her, nodded and said nothing, wanting to see what she was planning.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and soon arrived at the jewelry shop that Shen Qingwan mentioned.

The two men got off the carriage and walked into the store.

The store is filled with a dazzling array of jewellery that sparkles brilliantly.

Shen Qingwan pretended to be excited as she walked around the store, picking up a piece of jewelry and gesturing with it from time to time.

Shen Tangan stood quietly aside with a calm expression.

Suddenly, Shen Qingwan picked up a pearl hairpin and exclaimed, "Sister, look how beautiful this pearl hairpin is!"

As he said that, he walked towards Shen Tangan.

However, just as she approached Shen Tangan, the pearl hairpin in her hand "accidentally" fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

Shen Qingwan's face changed, and she said in panic: "Sister, I didn't mean it. This pearl hairpin must be extremely valuable. What should I do?"

A hint of imperceptible pride flashed in her eyes as she waited to see Shen Tangan's reaction.

Shen Tangan looked at the pearl hairpin on the ground and understood.

She said calmly, "Don't be alarmed, sister. It's just a pearl hairpin. I'll give it to you as compensation."

Shen Qingwan waved her hands and said, "Sister, how can I ask you to compensate for this? It was all my carelessness. How about this, I will buy this pearl hairpin and give it to you as an apology."

She was thinking in her mind that after buying the pearl hairpin, she would find a way to tamper with it and frame Shen Tangan.

Shen Tangan knew what she was thinking, so he smiled and said, "No need, I appreciate your kindness. Since you broke the hairpin, you should pay for it. How much is it?"

"My lady, this pearl hairpin costs one hundred and thirty taels."

The shopkeeper stepped forward and spoke respectfully.

When Shen Qingwan heard this, her expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

She widened her eyes and said in disbelief, "What? Such a small pearl hairpin is so expensive? Shopkeeper, are you trying to cheat me?"

The shopkeeper said calmly, "My lady, this pearl hairpin is made of top-quality materials and has exquisite craftsmanship, so it is naturally expensive. Moreover, you just said that this pearl hairpin is very beautiful, so you must know its value."

Shen Qingwan was angry, but had no way to refute.

She glared at the shop owner fiercely, then turned to look at Shen Tangan, hoping she could say something for her.

However, Shen Tangan just stood there quietly with an indifferent look, and had no intention of pleading for her.

In desperation, Shen Qingwan looked at the store owner and wanted to bargain, but the store owner did not agree at all.

She tried to lower the price and kept finding faults with the hairpin.

"Although this pearl hairpin is beautiful, it shouldn't be so expensive, right? You see, the gemstone on it is not particularly large, and the workmanship is not perfect. Make it cheaper, otherwise I won't buy it."

The store owner was unmoved and insisted on his price.

"Miss, this price is very fair. If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it, but you will have to pay for it if it's broken."

Shen Qingwan was so angry that her face turned red, but she could do nothing about it.

She gritted her teeth and finally took out some silver to compensate for the loss of the pearl hairpin.

Her resentment towards Shen Tangan increased a little bit, and she secretly vowed to find an opportunity to make Shen Tangan suffer.

After paying for the pearl hairpin, Shen Qingwan's mood became extremely bad.

She no longer had the interest to continue choosing jewelry and just stood aside with a gloomy face.

Shen Tangan glanced at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

She knew that Shen Qingwan had lost more than she gained this time and must be very upset.

Shen Tangan was not affected at all by what happened just now and continued to choose calmly.

Her eyes fell on a pair of exquisite earrings and she was about to reach out to take them, but Shen Qingwan took them first.

"Sister, these earrings are so beautiful."

Shen Qingwan said this deliberately, with a provocative look in her eyes.

Shen Tangan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the earrings in Shen Qingwan's hand, and said slowly: "If you like it, take it."

Shen Qingwan thought Shen Tangan would compete with her for it, but she didn't expect her to give up so easily.

She was somewhat confused, but didn't want to give up.

"Sister, you are about to get married. These earrings are so beautiful and perfect for you. How can I take someone else's love away from me?"

Shen Qingwan said this hypocritically, trying to pass the earrings to Shen Tangan.
