Su Qingyu and Su Shunci got off the carriage, stood outside the crowd and looked inside.

I saw Su Yihui holding the hand of a young girl and angrily yelling at the boy: "Take it if you are told. In our own shop, can't we just take two pieces of satin?"

Su Qingyu recognized the person next to Su Yihui as Su Xiangling, the eldest daughter of her second wife.

Su Xiangling is two months younger than Su Qingyu, and she wore a bright red butterfly skirt with a waistband today. The eyebrows are furrowed, and a pair of gleaming phoenix eyes are alluring.

When Su Qingyu went to Qianzhou, Su Xiangling was thirteen years old. At that time, she was already famous for her beauty in Liping Prefecture. When she saw her again today, she was even more charming than before.

At this time, the young man was saying in embarrassment: "Second Miss, Third Miss, our family's rules are that anyone in the family who comes to get satin must give money."

This rule was set by Lin Wanyin in the past, and everyone in the Su family also abides by it. Su Yihui naturally knew that, but it was only because Su Shunci was in charge of the store that she started to take advantage.

Lin Wanyin originally set this rule because the shop sells rare goods from Jiangnan, which are expensive. If these people in the family were allowed to take whatever they wanted, there would be no need to do business.

So after she imposed such restrictions, people in the house rarely came to this shop.

Su Shunci frowned and looked inside, then said, "Are they treating me like a weakling?"

Su Qingyu chuckled lightly, "I won't go in. I'm just here to see what you can do."

Su Shunci knew that the eldest sister wanted to teach her how to cope with the situation.

"Don't worry, big sister, I know what to do."

With that said, Su Shunci walked in.

The little girl, who has not even grown in stature, is full of momentum as she walks through the door.

"Second sister, third sister, why are you here?"

After Su Shunci entered, she greeted the two sisters with a smile.

When the boy saw Su Shunci back, he felt relieved, as if he had a backbone.

"Fourth Miss, you are finally back. Second Miss and Third Miss wanted to take two pieces of brocade with peacock patterns. I told them that they should pay according to the rules, but they refused."

The boy looked out the door again and shouted twice, "Stop looking, let's all leave."

These people were originally looking at the notice posted at the door about the Su family and the Lin family. Unexpectedly, when the two young ladies arrived, these people started to watch the excitement.

When Su Yihui saw Su Shunci coming back, she said, "Fourth sister is back just in time. Second sister and I were passing by here. We thought that our shop would be a good place to get two pieces of brocade to make some clothes."

"You don't have to worry about us defaulting on the debt. We'll tell grandma when we get back home, and you can just record it in the account book."

Su Shunci asked her with a smile, "Did grandma agree to this?"

Su Yihui hummed unnaturally. In fact, the old lady didn't know.

Su Shunci thought for a moment, "Well, let's do this. I'll send someone back to my house to get the money from my grandmother. I don't care how much money my grandmother spends on you, but you can't break my rules or mess up my accounts."

With that said, he ordered his personal maid, "Go back home and tell my grandmother properly when you get to Songhe Hall."

Su Yihui didn't dare to let people go back to the house to ask the old lady for money, so she hurriedly said: "Grandma is resting, don't disturb her for such a trivial matter."

"Let's take it first, and you can just record it in the account. When my father and grandmother ask, can we deny it?"

Su Shun kindly said that she was young but not stupid. Su Yihui's words are okay for coaxing a three-year-old child.

Seeing that Su Shunci refused to let go, Su Xiangling frowned impatiently.

"A concubine really knows how to use chicken feathers as arrows."

Su Shunci looked at Su Xiangling with wide eyes, "Second sister, why do you say that to third sister? She is a concubine, and she wants brocade in the name of her grandmother. Are you calling your grandmother..."

Su Shunci didn't say the next words, but everyone understood it.

Su Xiangling's face changed, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say that grandma is a chicken feather?"

Su Shunci shrugged, "I didn't say what you just said."

Only then did Su Xiangling realize that Su Shunci had gotten involved, and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"She has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. A concubine from the Su family actually takes charge of the family's property."

Su Shunci smiled and said: "There is no way, my father and grandmother trust me. If you are not convinced, remember to tell your father and grandmother."

"I'm still tired of it. Who cares about these things?"

Just at this moment, a boy came out from behind, holding a piece of brocade wrapped in his hand.

"Fourth Miss, this is the antique satin that the eldest lady of the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion ordered. I will deliver it to her now."

Su Shunci waved her hand, indicating that he should go now.

However, Su Xiangling stopped the waiter and reached out to look through the brocade.

"This brocade is good, I want it."

The ancient fragrant satin comes from the Bai family, a brocade merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that weaving is not easy, and only a few hundred pieces can be produced in a year. Not many can be assigned to the capital.

This is the only one left in the store, and it was ordered by the eldest lady of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion.

So as soon as Su Xiangling got started, the boy quickly took two steps back.

"Second Miss, this ancient fragrant satin is very delicate..."

The boy stepped back, and Su Xiangling clawed hard again with her sharp nails. Before the boy finished speaking, he heard a tearing sound, and the edges of the antique satin were scratched.

Su Xiangling quickly let go of her hand, "Fourth sister, your friend is too careless."

"Is this what the eldest lady of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion wants? I heard that this eldest lady has a bad temper."

"Fourth sister, you must handle this matter properly and don't bring trouble to the family."

The little boy turned pale with fright. He could never afford to pay for an antique satin in his life.

Su Shunci's expression also changed, seeing that Su Xiangling was still making sarcastic remarks.

She slapped Su Xiangling twice, directly on the face.

Su Xiangling wasn't even given any time to react.

"Since the second sister knew that the eldest daughter of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion had a bad temper, she took these two slaps first."

"I took it out on Miss Song, otherwise it would be hard for me to explain."

Su Xiangling never expected that Su Shunci would dare to take action, so she was slapped twice before she could react.

Su Yihui never expected that the previously cowardly fourth young lady of the Su family would dare to slap people after only being in charge of the shop for a few days.

"You... are so brave, you dare to attack the second sister." Su Yihui said sharply.

Su Shunci snorted coldly, "I said, these two slaps are an explanation to Miss Song."

"Second sister must pay some price for the trouble she caused."

When had Su Xiangling ever been wronged like this? Her eyes that glared at Su Shunci were faintly red.

"Su Shunci, please wait for me. You will have a good time today."

After saying that, he turned around and left the shop, planning to go back home to find his mother and grandmother to make the decision. Su Yihui naturally followed closely, she was the one who brought him out. Now that this happened, she had to think about how to explain to her second aunt when she returned home.

The two of them walked in a hurry, and they didn't notice Su Qingyu in the crowd, who was smiling and watching the excitement.

Seeing the Su family's carriage leaving and the waiters dispersing the crowd, Su Qingyu walked into the shop.

Su Shunci was inspecting the scratched area of ​​the antique satin with a solemn expression.

Su Qingyu stepped forward and said softly: "If it's shaved like this, I'm afraid this piece of satin won't be able to be sent to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion."

In fact, the scraping is not heavy, it only scrapes an edge, which does not affect the making of clothes. But if it is scratched, it is scratched and cannot be sent to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion.

Su Shunci gritted her teeth and cursed: "They are really two scourges. These two slaps are too light."
