161.Chapter 161 A strong counterattack to gain a foothold! 【05】
Although he acted eagerly and against the rules, he had good intentions and came to save lives, so Shen Can certainly couldn't care less.
Otherwise, word will spread that he, the prime minister, is too stingy.
He waved his hand and made a gloomy hum. Over there, Mrs. Chu immediately asked someone to set up a screen to separate the men and women.
Shopkeeper Zhuang continued: "She just came to my house to buy some pieces of satin and wanted to go back and make some clothes for her young lady. Suddenly several women rushed out and tied her up. They also said that the prime minister had stolen The maid of the East and West asked me not to meddle in my own business. I thought it was true at first, so naturally I didn’t dare to interfere, let alone the Prime Minister’s Mansion. Who knew that Miss Shen sent someone to summon me again, and I felt something strange, so I wanted to come. Tell me about the situation you saw at that time, so that I can help you."
The implication was that Suxue was just buying silk and satin, not selling the stolen goods at all.
Mrs. Liu's face was gloomy, and when she was about to have an attack, Grandma Sun next to her tugged on her sleeve.
Mrs. Liu held back. At this time, Shen Yunluo was also extremely concerned. He stood next to her and whispered: "Mother, please listen."
Shen Mingxuan over there couldn't help but jumped up and scolded Shopkeeper Zhuang, "Who do you think you are? What you said is true? I also said that you were colluding with this girl and selling stolen goods to her."
Everyone present, including Mrs. Liu, frowned, especially Shen Can, the men, and the fourth child, who looked at Shen Mingxuan displeased.
At this time, Mrs. Chu walked up to the old lady and said softly: "Mother, this shopkeeper Zhuang is the big shopkeeper of Jiangnan Wanjia in Kyoto. He is very reputable. He is a famous golden abacus and has an excellent reputation."
At this time, Shen Mingxuan and Aunt Zhao were slapping each other in the face, but Shen Mingxuan refused to admit defeat.
"Anyway, that's what you said. I think you colluded with her to help sell the stolen goods."
Shopkeeper Zhuang didn't feel dissatisfied and smiled very kindly, "This lady, I am a businessman. Although businessmen value profits more than separation, businessmen value reputation most. We are land traders, not foot traders. We rely on reputation. This lady If you don’t believe me, you can ask me, my Wan family’s reputation is well-known throughout the Qin Kingdom.”
Some people question the reputation of the home, which is very taboo for businessmen.
Although he was modest and still smiled, his words became very serious.
Shen Mingxuan wanted to say something else, but Shen Can stopped him and said, "That's enough. Just a little girl, don't make a joke."
Shen Mingxuan was still unconvinced, but was dragged aside by Aunt Zhao.
Shopkeeper Zhuang bowed his hands to everyone and said, "Master, old lady, madam, I'm really rude and deserve to die. I'll definitely come to apologize someday."
After saying that, he cupped his hands to Suxue and said: "Girl, I will give those pieces of satin to the lady of your house. I cannot accept these items, and we do not have the custom of using items as collateral. This time I came unexpectedly. , also to return it to you."
As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Suxue who was kneeling beside her.
Suxue did not move.
Shen Can over there lost his voice, "What is that?"
He rushed forward very quickly, grabbed the jade pendant in his hand, and looked at it over and over with wide eyes.
Shen Mingzhu looked at him coldly. The jade pendant was left by her mother.
Back then, my brother had one piece and she had one piece. Her piece was always kept by Suxue to prevent it from being snatched away by those young people.
