Chapter 157: Imperial Pawnshop
Seeing this, the young man spat and said loudly, “This old woman is holding a fake bracelet and wants to come to our pawnshop to scam. Everyone, please take a good look. This bracelet was not broken by me.”
Those who originally thought that the young man had gone a little overboard looked at the old woman strangely when they heard this.
It seemed that such an honest person would actually do such a thing.
The old woman was at a loss for words.
Su Yan frowned and asked Chu Tao to help her up.
She looked at the bracelet on the ground and asked, “Madam, this bracelet doesn’t belong to you?”
The old woman looked at Su Yan and hurriedly nodded.
Su Yan looked at the young man at the door and asked, “You said that this bracelet belongs to this old woman?”
The young man looked at Su Yan with disdain and said, “That’s right.”
Su Yan smiled and picked up the bracelet that had been broken into three pieces on the ground. She said, “Madam has such a good thing. There’s no need to worry about the child’s medical expenses.”
The old lady’s expression was a little confused.
The young man mocked, “This person’s eyesight is not that good. Even if this bracelet is not broken, it’s just an ordinary Hotan jade. The quality is not good. It’s not worth anything at all.”
Su Yan held the bracelet and said in surprise, “So you guys don’t know that this is glazed jade. Although this kind of jade is very similar to Hotan jade, their value is worlds apart.”
“Even if this bracelet is broken, the material of this glazed jade is also a sky-high price.”
The young man’s expression was a bit strange, but he still said, “You’re talking nonsense. I’ve never heard of this kind of jade.”
Su Yan shrugged and said, “You can only say that you’ve never heard of it because your knowledge is too shallow. This kind of good thing is not something that ordinary people can see.”
As she spoke, she even turned the broken surface of the bracelet. Under the sunlight, specks of golden light could be vaguely seen. It really did not look like an ordinary item.
The young man saw that Su Yan’s temperament was extraordinary, but he also spoke with certainty.
He quickly said, “Please wait, I’ll go and invite our shopkeeper.”
The old woman looked at Su Yan uneasily. Su Yan patted her arm, indicating that she should not be nervous.
After a while, a kind old man walked out of the pawnshop. He had a kind smile on his face, but the light in his eyes was not to be underestimated.
The young man introduced that this was their imperial appraiser, Elder Wang.
Elder Wang looked at the bracelet in Su Yan’s hand and asked, “May I take a look at the bracelet in your hand?”
Su Yan clenched the bracelet in her hand and said, “Didn’t you say that you don’t accept this kind of thing? If you don’t accept it, we’ll take it to Qicao Pawnshop.”
As she said this, she was about to take the old woman away.
Elder Wang was shocked. He was a little suspicious at first, but after Su Yan revealed her identity, he believed her.
He immediately said, “Please wait.”
Su Yan stopped.
Elder Wang said to the old woman, “I thought about it carefully just now. This bracelet really doesn’t belong to you. It belongs to our pawnshop. Your bracelet is still with us.”
The old woman looked at Su Yan, not knowing what to do.
Su Yan smiled and said, “Your Imperial Pawnshop is really fickle. Who was the one said that this bracelet belonged to this old woman just now? Now he made a mistake and said that it belongs to you.”
The surrounding people were also discussing animatedly.
Elder Wang’s expression darkened and he said, “Which family are you from? Do you know the background of our Imperial Pawnshop? Be careful not to bring trouble to your family.”
Su Yan did not take this threat seriously and immediately said, “No matter what you say, this bracelet belongs to this madam. It has nothing to do with your pawnshop.”
This was because the young man had already taken out the old woman’s family heirloom.
The old woman immediately said, “This is my bracelet.”
Elder Wang said proudly, “How is it? You have nothing to say, right?”
Only then did the old woman react. She looked at Su Yan in embarrassment.
