Chapter 327: We are immoral, but we are not wrong

The scholar's remarks were recognized by most people.

Everyone loves a conspiracy theory.

They also like to use their own cognition to make conspiracy theories about others and regard these conspiracy theories as truth.

The scholar's remarks were like a stone hitting the center of a wave, causing a reversal of public opinion.

Many people tend to believe that Xie Yingmian had known for a long time that those things were second-hand goods, and deliberately pawned them to Baibao Pawnshop, and joined forces with Baibao Pawnshop to deal with the Xie Mansion.

Xie Yingmian suddenly turned from a victim to a perpetrator.

People love to follow the crowd.

When a statement comes out, a lot of people believe it.

When another statement comes out, another group of people believe it.

Public opinion was once again stirred up.

After listening to Tu Bufan's report, Xie Yingmian tapped her fingers lightly on the table. "It seems that Madam Xie Hou has some expert guidance. But it doesn't matter. Public opinion is a product of people following the crowd."

"Besides, they're not wrong. We are indeed in cahoots."

Tu Bufan didn't see Puff and was looking around for her.

When I heard the word "collusion", I immediately felt unhappy.

"We are not in cahoots, we are colluding with each other."

Xie Yingmian:?

They are all derogatory words, who looks down on whom?

Tu Bufan: Of course there is a difference.

The former sounds dirty, while the latter sounds smarter.

"Are there any puffs left?" Tu Bufan asked.

"No."

Tu Bufan: "Hey, I have a disease that makes me unable to walk without eating puffs."

Xie Yingmian: ...

"We have Swiss rolls," she said. "They're new. Want to try some?"

Tu Bufan's eyes lit up.

Although he didn't know what a Swiss roll was, almost everything Xie Yingmian made was delicious.

"Taste it!" said Tu Bufan.

Tamamo brought the Swiss roll.

Tu Bufan ate one and then another.

After finishing all the Swiss rolls on the plate, he was satisfied.

Cooperating with Xie Yingmian was the best decision he had ever made.

"What are your instructions next? I will go through fire and water for the Swiss roll."

Xie Yingmian said: "You don't need to do anything."

"We just have to wait."

Tu Bufan: "Aren't you afraid of public opinion being unfavorable to you?"

Xie Yingmian chuckled.

So what if public opinion is against her?

This era emphasizes hierarchy.

No matter how big the public opinion was, those people didn't dare to throw paint on her, let alone hang her posthumous photo.

To put it bluntly, they are just talking.

To her, it doesn't matter.

Furthermore, the dowry replacement is an established fact, a fact that no one can change.

She is the victim of this incident.

Although she wanted to be a perfect victim, no matter how perfect a victim was, there would always be people criticizing her. It was enough that public opinion had fermented to this extent.

"We just do what we should do and don't worry about anything else," she said.

Tu Bufan: "What if someone asks?"

Xie Yingmian bared her sharp white teeth. "Then let the owner of Baibao Pawnshop tell them that my dowry is pawned and all the items belong to Baibao Pawnshop. Baibao Pawnshop just wants to make more money because this matter has attracted attention. After all, who doesn't love money?"

Tu Bufan was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.

That's right.

No one doesn't love money, unless they are mentally ill.

"Three days at most," Xie Yingmian said, "they will send in their visiting cards again."

As Tu Bufan speculated,

As expected, many people went to Baibao Pawnshop to question whether Baibao Pawnshop was in cahoots with Xie Yingmian.

The pawnshop owner was puzzled and didn't want to pay any attention.

The man was indignant and insisted on forcing the shopkeeper to give an explanation.

More and more people gathered around, and more and more people asked the shopkeeper to give an explanation.

The shopkeeper said impatiently, "Are there holes in your brains?"

"What do you mean by being in cahoots with Princess Ling? Princess Ling is a pawnbroker. Do you know what a pawnbroker is? Princess Ling won't redeem those things. They belong to our Baibao Pawnshop."

"Those items are second-hand and have defects. We certainly can't sell them. If we can't sell them, we'll lose money. We're businessmen. Since this matter is so popular, why don't we use this popularity to make a profit?"

"Of course, you can say that we were a little unethical in secretly photographing those clothes, and we admit that, but we didn't steal or rob. All our procedures were in line with the rules. We were a little unethical, but we didn't do anything wrong."

"Besides, in the final analysis, isn't it because the Xie family deliberately replaced Princess Ling's dowry?"

"If the Xie family hadn't used these things to deceive people, how could this have happened? You guys should stop doing this. You all just believe everything you hear and don't even realize you're being used as a knife. Get out of here and stop disrupting our business."

The shopkeeper drove everyone away.

Many people believed what the shopkeeper said.

Because there is no business without fraud.

There is nothing wrong with businessmen pursuing profits.

What's more, the source was indeed the Xie family who changed the dowry first.

After going around in circles, public opinion has returned to its original state.

Mrs. Xie was so angry that she smashed a lot of things.

At this time, the other members of the Xie family could no longer sit still.

Xie Baoyu's reputation was ruined, and the reputations of other daughters in the Xie family were also affected.

Even those who are already engaged have hinted in a roundabout way that if things continue to ferment, the marriage may not go through.

Seeing that the marriages of Xie family’s children were affected.

The head of the Xie family had to step in to mediate.

Mrs. Xie Hou looked at the people coming from the Xie family as if they had eaten a fly.

She was so angry, but she didn't dare to act rashly in front of the clan leader.

There was no other way, she could only send the note to Xie Yingmian again.

This time, Xie Yingmian accepted their visiting invitations.

The head of the Xie family is smarter than Mrs. Xie Hou.

He lowered his stance: "Princess Ling, it is wrong for the Xie family to secretly exchange your dowry."

"I apologize to you on behalf of your father and mother."

"Our Xie family is willing to propose a new dowry as compensation."

Seeing that Xie Yingmian had no expression on his face, the clan leader gritted his teeth and said, "Double, we are willing to compensate you with double the dowry."

Xie Yingmian said, "You are too polite, Patriarch."

"The truth is, I've already pawned those things to Baibao Pawnshop. I can't be the owner of Baibao Pawnshop."

Madam Xie Hou angrily said, "Don't think I don't know that you and Baibao Pawnshop are in cahoots. You did this on purpose. You two teamed up to set us up."

"Xie Yingmian, you did this on purpose. Who are you pretending to be like this for? I'm warning you..."

"Shut up!" The patriarch was so angry that his head was confused.

He finally understood why the situation had escalated into this state.

It’s all because of that idiot Madam Xie Hou.

I originally thought that Madam Xie Hou came from a prominent family and had broad vision.

Who would have thought that she was even more shortsighted than the people from a small family and so stupid.

Mrs. Xie Hou was yelled at in public and was unable to save face.

The head of the Xie family had higher prestige than her, so she didn't dare to refute anything and could only look at Xie Yingmian with hatred.

Xie Yingmian sneered, "Madam Xie Hou is looking at me like this, is she trying to eat me?"

"Since you have no intention of discussing it, then please go ahead."

"If you guys keep sending me invitations to argue with me, there's no need to do that. I'll pass it on. From now on, I won't accept any invitations from the Xie family."

"Someone, show the guests out."
