After hearing Su Nianyun's more and more determined words, Jingzhao Prefect also realized that maybe it was not Su Nianyun who created the beautiful face.
Sure enough, when he glared at the government officials who went to detain the people, they showed guilty expressions. He was furious, but he could not expose his subordinates' conspiracy on the spot, which would only make him more embarrassed.
So, he threw out a stick and said, "If you think you are worth a stick of incense, let me find the real owner of the beautiful face."
Several people were frightened. They didn't expect that the Lord, who had never cared much about their personal gain, would have such a fierce expression today. It was obvious that the Lord was serious about it.
At that moment, several people hurriedly returned to Chen's house. They couldn't help but escort the old lady and at the same time, they also didn't forget to throw back the few banknotes they had received.
"Let's just pretend we've never done this business before, old lady, do you understand?"
After receiving the warning from the yamen servant, the old lady looked stern.
Originally, I wanted to send Su Nianyun out to ward off the disaster, but I never expected that Su Nianyun's status as a princess would be so difficult to use.
"Princes, don't worry," the old lady nodded, "I can tell which is more important, and I won't say another word in front of the governor of Jingzhao!"
She is not a fool. Although she cannot buy them off, she will not betray them. She does not want to be attacked from both sides.
Jingwei followed the Yamen servant to Jingzhao Mansion. The moment he saw the old lady, Su Nianyun was stunned.
"Old madam, why is it you?"
Su Nianyun's face was full of disbelief, and it suddenly dawned on her when she stood in front of Jingzhao Fuyin.
"It turns out that the boss behind Beauty Face is you!"
"Old madam, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I know that you are the boss of Beauty Face, I will admit whatever you say."
"Everyone," Su Nianyun took the initiative to turn to the victims, "The beauty belongs to me. If you have any compensation demands, just come and ask me..."
Those who originally wanted to rush in front of the old lady were startled by Su Nianyun's sudden move.
Although everyone has a bad impression of the old lady of the Chen family, they inexplicably have a good impression of Su Nianyun.
This person has always had a good reputation as a virtuous and loyal person in the capital, and now seeing her protecting her mother-in-law in such a way, everyone thinks more highly of Su Nianyun.
"I see that everyone's illness is quite serious. How about we cure the illness first and then discuss how to hold my mother-in-law responsible?"
Su Nianyun said, "I know a shop whose medicine is very effective."
"In terms of money, if you want to ask for compensation, I did not earn this money, so there is no reason to compensate you."
"But when it comes to medical expenses, don't worry, you won't have to spend a penny until you are cured..."
"Really, Princess Nianyun, are you telling the truth?"
"Are you really willing to help us treat our illnesses?"
"Of course it's true!" Su Nianyun nodded.
Immediately, she introduced everyone to the Mobei Medicinal Materials Shop.
There, Su Cheng and Su Ming and his son had already prepared medicines for those people with yellow spots and hair loss on their faces. After all, this prescription was originally written by Su Nianyun.
After everyone's pulse was symbolically checked, they received the medicine.
After a few days, some people really noticed that their complexion and hair were getting better, and everyone began to recover.
Only half of this resentment disappeared.
Everyone also knows that Su Nianyun spent all the money for their treatment, and then asking for compensation from the princess is obviously wrong.
Because it was Mrs. Chen who used the name of the princess to deceive her. Strictly speaking, the princess's reputation was ruined and she could be considered a victim.
So, this time everyone pointed their finger at the old lady again.
As a last resort, in order to compensate those people, the old lady sold Meirenmian's shop at a low price, and then invested the rest of her money in it, thus quelling the public's anger.
So far, all 400,000 taels of silver have been lost in the hands of the old lady.
Moreover, the four hundred thousand taels were all borrowed by the old lady.
Three hundred thousand taels came from Su Nianyun, and one hundred thousand taels came from Qin Wan. Of course, in the end, it also came from Su Nianyun, but the old lady didn't know it.
The old lady caused such a big trouble, how could Qin Wan not know
It was only after she took over Zhongfu that she realized that the shop had not lost any money at all, and she was curious about where the old lady spent the one hundred thousand taels.
Only then did I know that the old lady actually used the money to open another shop and lost all of it.
Qin Wan found the old lady angrily, "Old madam, you said business turnover, so I helped you borrow money... I didn't expect you to just waste the money like this?!"
The old lady had been so shocked that she almost collapsed. At this time, she was completely rude when she saw Qin Wan coming to ask for money.
"Yes...if you hadn't persuaded Kang'er to give you a reward, how would I have gone into business..."
"You want to impose a crime!" Qin Wan was so angry, "You are old and can't do it anymore!"
"No, you weren't good in the first place. My grandmother said that the Chen family fell in your hands. I didn't believe it at first, but now after seeing your behavior, I really know..."
"The Chen family fell into the eight worlds not because there is no one in the family, but because you don't know how to run a household!"
"You!" The old lady became angry with embarrassment. She has always been arrogant and couldn't bear to hear others say that to her, especially when the juniors of the Qin family said that to her.
"It was a mistake to marry you in the first place. It was because of you, the bad guy, that the Chen family's business plummeted..."
The two of them couldn't agree with each other, and the argument was very fierce, and they broke up immediately.
After the opening day, the beautiful face seemed to have become Su Nianyun's.
Jingzhao Mansion always calls Su Nianyun when dealing with the follow-up matters of those victims, but rarely calls the old lady.
Firstly, the old lady had already taken out all the money she could get. Secondly, Su Nianyun helped the victim and was more convincing among them.
After signing the settlement documents with the victim, etc., Su Nianyun returned to the Chen Mansion with a pile of official documents that concluded the case.
After reading those documents, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief. She would not be harassed by those people anymore and would not be able to sleep at night.
When the dust settled, she remembered to apologize to Su Nianyun.
"Nianyun, my mother was so frightened that she had no choice but to let you temporarily replace the beautiful boss at Jingzhao Mansion. Don't blame your mother."
Su Nianyun looked at the old lady.
"Old madam, could I ask if the money you borrowed from me was all used for beauties?" Su Nianyun looked serious. It's time to settle accounts after the fall.
The old lady was speechless for a moment.
"Old madam, are you using my money to bury my feelings?"
The old lady hurriedly explained, "No, that's absolutely not the case. Didn't I tell you..."
She took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, "No, An'er and Kang'er are both not at home. There is no backbone in the family. I was completely helpless at that time..."
"Then..." Su Nianyun looked at the old lady, "Old lady, when are you going to pay back the money?"
