On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yan Ruyu was watching a play in the carriage and was about to say something to Huo Changhe when she was interrupted by a loud slap from Master Cheng.

She turned her head and saw that Cheng Fengyao had been slapped hard by Master Cheng, and the hairpin on her head was even crooked.

Cheng Fengyao looked at Master Cheng in disbelief: "Father..."

"Shut up!" Master Cheng gritted his teeth.

Shopkeeper Shen smiled and handed the box back to the clerk. "It seems that the matter has been clarified. I was meddling in other people's business. Since the jewelry was pawned by Miss Cheng and I paid the money, as Miss Cheng said, the money and goods have been paid, so there is nothing to say."

Mr. Cheng felt that he had lost all his face and his fingers were shaking with anger.

Shopkeeper Shen no longer looked at him and said calmly, "Let's go back to the shop."

The people around made way and talked in low voices.

"Manager Shen is kind and righteous, but he didn't expect to be blamed for it."

"He said it was the old servant in the family who stole it, but it turns out that it was his daughter who did it herself."

"Oh, this is really interesting. In this drama, I can't even tell who is the protagonist."

Before Shopkeeper Shen walked out of the crowd, he heard a noisy quarrel outside the crowd.

Everyone looked back, surprised and disgusted, and quickly made way.

A group of beggars came.

The beggar in the lead was holding a stick in his hand. His face was too dirty to tell his age. He was wearing a tattered cotton-padded jacket with the cotton showing through, but he spoke quite cleverly.

"Hey, the jewelry at the Jewelry Pavilion is sold at a high price at the auction, but there is not much to buy at the pawnshop. I think..."

His voice was slightly sharp and crisp, and everyone present could hear it clearly.

When they heard that it was another matter involving the jewelry store and the pawnshop, they all pricked up their ears.

The beggar stopped talking at this point, scratched his head for a moment, turned around and asked the beggar next to him: "Hey? What's the word after that? I forgot."

"I think the jewelry in the Jewelry Pavilion is not worth that much money. The Zhennan Palace is helping them make dirty money."

"Yes, that's the word," the beggar cleared his throat, "I'll say it again."

"Hey, the jewelry in the Jewelry Pavilion is sold at a high price at the auction, but it's not worth that much at the pawnshop. I think the jewelry in the Jewelry Pavilion is not worth that much money. The Zhennan Palace helps them make dirty money!"

Yan Ruyu heard it clearly in the carriage and couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

Huo Changhe exclaimed: "Beibei's acting skills are getting better and better."

Shopkeeper Shen narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean by this? Are you blaming the Jewelry Pavilion, or are you blaming my pawnshop for unfair prices?"

Before he could finish his words, a carriage drove up in a hurry and stopped nearby. The owner of the jewelry shop got out of the carriage angrily.

"I wonder who is talking nonsense here!" The shopkeeper came closer and glanced at the beggar. "It's you again. Well, you just said this in front of my jewelry store, and now you are saying it here."

"Come on, follow me to see the official! We have a good business, but you call us profiteers. You are a bunch of beggars. How can you afford the things in the Jewelry Pavilion? You don't know anything at all, yet you still speak nonsense!"

Shopkeeper Shen nodded: "Count me in."

Both of their businesses are affiliated with the Qian family, but not many people know about it, and it is rarely mentioned. This is because they are afraid that some people have bad intentions and would accuse them of secretly colluding when they cannot compete.

When the beggar heard that he was going to report to the police, he became anxious.

"No, no, my two shopkeepers, we are also taking money from others and doing things for them."

He glanced at the crowd and pointed at the woman next to Cheng Fengyao: "That's her! She paid us to tell you."

After saying that, he stamped his feet in anger and said, "If we were in jail, the price wouldn't be this high!"

"You have to pay more."

Mother-in-law: "..."

Master Cheng was shocked and angry, his eyes were full of anger, he wanted to spit fire: "Why don't you admit your mistakes and apologize to the two shopkeepers!"

What I meant was that I wanted the old woman to admit her mistake.

The old woman felt sad and was filled with fear just now. She found out that Mr. Cheng actually accused her of stealing the valuable jewelry. This was a threat to her life!

Before she could recover from the shock, she was asked to admit her mistake.

But she couldn't disobey him. Her whole family, young and old, were making a living in the mansion, so how could she not be obedient?

The old woman lowered her head and stepped forward, her voice trembling a little: "Second shopkeeper, it is... it is this old servant's fault. This old servant wanted to avenge the young lady, so he bribed these beggars to make them talk nonsense and spread rumors."

The old woman knelt down with a thud and slapped herself twice.

"I know I was wrong. I was shameless. I was blinded by greed and brought so much trouble to the two shopkeepers. It's my fault."

The old woman actually had selfish motives and had to admit her mistake, but she was unwilling to do so, so she simply cursed a few more times. Openly she was scolding herself and even hitting herself, but in fact she was scolding the real culprit.

"I'm not a human being, I deserve to die!"

The more she said this, the more embarrassed Cheng Fengyao became.

Yan Ruyu held a small hand warmer in her pocket and smiled softly, "The people in the Cheng Mansion are not easy to deal with."

"Anyone who can stay with the lady is not a good person." Huo Changhe looked at Cheng Fengyao, his eyes unable to hide his disgust, "It depends on whether she can bear it."

Of course Cheng Fengyao couldn't help it.

He couldn't bear being slapped in public just now, and now it's like adding fuel to the fire.

She straightened her back and said loudly, "Enough! Tell the truth, it was this lady who asked her to do this."

Mrs. Cheng: “…”

Mr. Cheng: “…” I felt a little dizzy and my vision was a little dark.

Shopkeeper Shen turned to look at her with a smile on his face: "Miss Cheng, have we ever offended you?"

The owner of the jewelry shop also said angrily: "Miss Cheng, when you were bidding that day, I was very polite and didn't neglect you at all. Now you have someone spread this rumor and slander the reputation of my store. What is your reason?"

Cheng Fengyao opened her mouth to speak, but Madam Cheng grabbed her.

But she was so angry at this moment that her rage seemed to have burned her rationality to ashes, and she no longer cared about anything else.

Cheng Fengyao shook off Madam Cheng and said, "What do you mean by that? The jewelry in your jewelry pavilion is sold at such a high price. Do you dare to pat your chest and guarantee that this was not instructed by Princess Zhennan?"

"An exiled person from the Zhennan Palace has no shortage of food and shelter after arriving here. He even wears gold and silver and goes in and out of jewelry stores. Who gave them the confidence?"

"Aren't you colluding with each other to make huge profits?"

The scene fell silent.

Even the usually calm and sophisticated Shopkeeper Shen was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly remembered what Yan Ruyu said when he and the other shopkeepers met her a few years ago: "Stupidity is a disease, there is no cure, don't argue with a fool."

The worst thing about doing business is getting entangled with others.

I didn’t understand it deeply at the time, but I remembered this special sentence.

Now, I understand it deeply.

Shopkeeper Shen secretly sighed again, saying that the princess was really foresighted.

Everyone held their breath, looked at each other, and no one said a word.

Oh my god, is Cheng Fengyao crazy? She actually talked about the Zhennan Palace in public!

In the silence, a cold voice sounded.

"Want to know my confidence? Why not ask me in person?"
