Transmigrating as the Buddha-like Main Consort of a Power Minister

Chapter 23: Night Talk - Eat more vegetables and exercise regularly.

Ji Wan'er was unaware that Xiao Qingming was watching her.

Looking at the excessively greasy man in front of her, a trace of disdain appeared on her face. Were all the men here so casual? Qian Erfu was the same last time, trying to touch her hand as soon as they met. With her previous experience, Ji Wan'er sidestepped and avoided him.

"Wan'er, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Shunzi looked somewhat surprised and puzzled.

"Master Zhao, what are you talking about? I think you may have misunderstood. I bought you some things as a token of gratitude for helping me that time. I am already married, and whether you like Xiao Hong or Xiao Lu has nothing to do with me." Ji Wan'er clearly drew a line between them.

"Wan'er, you're still blaming me..." Zhao Shunzi's face showed a hint of sadness.

Ji Wan'er was genuinely puzzled. She couldn't understand how a man like him could successfully woo so many women. She didn't want to look at him any longer.

Although it was getting dark now, as a married woman, it wasn't appropriate to be with a strange man like this. If Xiao Qingming found out, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

She glanced back in the direction of her home. Although it was dim outside, the study was pitch black, with no oil lamp lit. It was a bit strange, but she didn't dwell on it. She decided to resolve the current situation quickly.

"Yes, I do blame you," Ji Wan'er said seriously.

Zhao Shunzi had a look of "I knew it." This woman seemed shrewd and prickly, but deep down, she was quite empty and easy to coax. As long as he said a few nice words, she would obediently comply.

"Don't worry, the only person I love is you." Zhao Shunzi looked at Ji Wan'er affectionately.

Little did he know that his appearance, which may have deceived the original owner, seemed greasy and pretentious to the current Ji Wan'er.

Ji Wan'er looked at Zhao Shunzi in astonishment and said, "Oh, really?"

Confidently, Zhao Shunzi declared, "Of course, I swear to heaven, you are the one I love the most!"

Ji Wan'er nodded slightly and said seriously, "If that's the case, then prove it to me. I don't have any money left now, can you give me some?"

Seeing Zhao Shunzi's expression change, Ji Wan'er continued, "Don't worry, I'm not asking for your money. It's just that I regret spending so much money on you before. So how about you return that money to me?"

Zhao Shunzi looked at Ji Wan'er in shock, disbelief written all over his face. "Wan'er, what are you talking about?"

Ji Wan'er took a step forward and said, "Actually, I've regretted it for a long time. After we met last time, I thought about it for several days and felt more and more uneasy. Life has been getting worse day by day, and I can't even have a decent meal. I thought about coming to you for money. But as a woman, it's inconvenient for me to go out. Besides, it's not right to take back what I've already given. Of course, I was also afraid that you would avoid me and not give me any money. I didn't expect you to come to me on your own accord. I'm truly touched. Since you're here today, let's settle our accounts properly."

Ji Wan'er took the initiative, which surprised Zhao Shunzi and made him take a step back in fear.

At this moment, Ji Wan'er gradually remembered more things and continued, "I remember we had four meals at the restaurant. One cost over three hundred wen, another was over four hundred wen, and the remaining two were over six hundred wen each. That adds up to more than two taels of silver. We each ate half, oh no, I ate less, you ate more. I won't ask for more from you, just split it evenly and give me one tael of silver."
