Chapter 1846: Why Should She Compensate?

Editor: Henyee Translations “Are you attempting to intimidate me?” Mrs.

Guan sneered, her tone dripping with disdain.

“Who do you think you are?

How dare you threaten me!

You want proof?

Fine, I’ll provide it!” Without hesitation, Mrs.

Guan removed the jade bracelet from her wrist before Mrs.

Jia’s bewildered gaze.

Brandishing it before her, she released her grip, allowing the bracelet to plummet to the ground, shattering into three pieces.

Mrs.

Jia’s eyes widened in astonishment.

“You!” Mrs.

Guan’s sneer deepened.

“You’ve broken my bracelet—a piece valued at 400 taels of silver.

Mrs.

Jia, are you prepared to compensate me with silver or an equivalent bracelet?” The emerald-green bracelet emitted a soft, ethereal glow, undoubtedly fetching a hefty sum.

Even if its value didn’t quite reach 400 taels of silver, it easily exceeded 200 taels—an indisputably pricey item.

But Mrs.

Jia couldn’t possibly afford such a sum, whether it be 200 or 400 taels.

Moreover, why should she compensate at all?

Mrs.

Jia and her attendant were dumbfounded by Mrs.

Guan’s audacity.

“It’s… it’s you…” “Me?” Mrs.

Guan scoffed.

“Do you truly believe I deliberately discarded such a valuable piece of jewelry?

Preposterous!” “It’s blatantly obvious!” “Who would believe such nonsense?

Just because you’re the wife of the Deputy Prefect, don’t presume you can freely distort the truth and besmirch others’ reputations!” “…” As Fan Ruyin and her companions enjoyed the flowers, they overheard the confrontation.

Stepping forward with a genial smile, Fan Ruyin interjected, “Mrs.

Guan and Mrs.

Jia, you seem quite engrossed in conversation.

What’s the topic of discussion?” Mrs.

Guan sneered, wasting no time in recounting the incident.

“Mrs.

Bai, perhaps you can offer your judgment…” After presenting her version of events, she demanded, “Shouldn’t Mrs.

Jia apologize and compensate?

This isn’t how one should treat others, is it?” Mrs.

Jia, on the verge of tears, protested, “I didn’t do it!

I didn’t lay a hand on her bracelet!

How could I have broken it?

She must have done it herself!” Mrs.

Guan’s sneer persisted.

Fan Ruyin maintained a composed smile.

“But that contradicts Mrs.

Guan’s account.

Furthermore, why would Mrs.

Guan break her own bracelet?

It’s clearly of considerable value!

Mrs.

Jia, Deputy Prefect Jia’s finances have improved.

Affording the compensation shouldn’t be an issue for you!” Another lady chimed in, smiling, “I find it hard to believe that Mrs.

Guan would harm herself just to frame Mrs.

Jia.

Mrs.

Jia can’t simply deny responsibility to avoid compensation!” “That’s absolutely right, this is blatant bullying!” Mrs.

Guan felt a surge of satisfaction as she pressured Mrs.

Jia into offering an apology.

Fan Ruyin maintained her composure as she spoke, “Mrs.

Jia may now hold the position of Deputy Prefect’s wife, but that doesn’t justify unreasonable behavior.

You’ve undergone quite the transformation, Mrs.

Guan.

I’ve encountered you once or twice before, and you’re markedly different now.

Ever since assuming the role of the Deputy Prefect’s wife, you’ve exhibited a newfound assertiveness.

There’s nothing you wouldn’t dare to do!” “Even if you dare to act, you must take responsibility for your actions!” Mrs.

Guan sneered triumphantly.

“Exactly!

You dare to act, yet refuse to accept accountability?

I’m well aware of the grudge you’ve held against me for some time now, and now you’ve seized upon an opportunity.

Heh, if it were any other matter, it might be overlooked.

However, this bracelet holds sentimental value for me and is quite valuable.

Given our family’s financial situation, we can ill afford such losses!

Even if you attempt to intimidate me, I have no choice but to speak the truth!”
