Chapter 111: Debt Collection

Wen Ruyue's slap did not hit Wen Yan.

Ying Zhilin grabbed his arm directly.

Instead, Wen Yan subconsciously retaliated and slapped her in the face.

A clear slap mark appeared on Wen Ruyue's cheek.

This is a typical case of getting beaten up instead of hitting someone!

Wen Ruyue covered her cheeks. She didn't look at Wen Yan who hit her. Instead, she glared at Ying Zhilin with a look of heartache and resentment: "You...you actually hit me!"

Wen Yan shook her hand that was sore from the slap: "Um...sister, I was the one who hit you!"

"Shut up!" Wen Ruyue glared at Wen Yan fiercely, then stared at Ying Zhilin. "How could you hit me? How dare you hit me? What qualifications do you have to hit me?"

They had been married for four years. Although they didn't have any love as husband and wife, they were still friends. Yet, he slapped himself for a wild woman with whom he had only been together for a month.

Wen Ruyue looked at him as if she was looking at a heartless man who had abandoned his wife and children.

Ying Zhilin thought that they were indeed engaged, and let go of her hand as if he had been electrocuted.

With a look of disgust, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his hands again and again.

Although he didn't say a word, the disgust expressed in his every move was even more hurtful.

He actually despises himself like this!

Wen Ruyue's eyes turned red with anger.

Unable to do anything to Ying Zhilin, she turned around and glared at Wen Yan: "It's all your fault! If you weren't a vixen like you, bewitching your master, how could Ying Zhilin do this to me!"

She wanted to grab Hua Wenyan's face.

He immediately pounced on Wen Yan with bared fangs and claws.

Wen Yan: “…”

Come again!

You just got slapped in the face, and you're still restless?

Wen Yan was about to fight back.

Meng Chifei strode over.

She grabbed Wen Ruyue by the back of her collar, lifted her up, and threw her into the middle of the road.

Meng Chifei pointed at Wen Ruyue and said, "If I see you bullying Yanyan again, don't blame me for being merciless."

Wen Ruyue glared at Meng Chifei resentfully, and suddenly sneered, "Meng Chifei, don't be so arrogant, you won't be so proud for long.

I'm waiting for the day when you'll be worse off than dead!"

After saying this, she got on the carriage and left with the help of her maid.

Meng Chifei's heart suddenly tightened.

She remembered Wen Yan's prediction that her fate would indeed be miserable.

Could what Wen Ruyue just said be what Yanyan predicted?

But that was Yanyan's premonition, how did Wen Ruyue know it?

Could it be that Yanyan told her?

No!

impossible!

Yanyan and she were not on good terms, so it was impossible for her to tell her such a big secret.

Then, the only possibility is that Wen Ruyue also has the ability to predict the future.

If so.

She will definitely use these abilities to harm Yanyan.

no.

She wanted to find an opportunity to tell Yanyan about this discovery.

Meng Chifei secretly took note of this.

The second batch of stock was sold out at 2:15 PM.

Wen Yan and Meng Chifei unanimously decided to close the store.

However, there is one very important thing to do before closing.

Xiao Wu took the gong and knocked it at the door of the shop, which immediately attracted a lot of people.

There were common people who came just to join in the fun, and there were also wealthy nobles who wanted to see what a little ink could do.

Meng Chifei cleared his throat and said loudly: "Before opening the business, I went to the palace to ask the emperor for two words.

Consider it a reward for the person who contributed the most money to this disaster relief effort."

Under the imperial city, no one thought Meng Chifei would dare to cheat.

Meng Chifei turned to the last page of the account book and unfolded it for everyone to review: "Today, Madam Song spent 23,400 taels of silver in our store, the largest amount.

Then, this time, Madam Song will receive the character 'Sincerity' as a reward from the royal family."

Today, Mrs. Song just arrived at the store.

Wen Yan asked Meng Chifei to tell Madam Song about the "character".

The Song couple wanted to cling to the emperor's golden thigh, so naturally they would not miss any opportunity to flatter him.

The reason why Mrs. Song was given this convenience was because Lord Song later gained the emperor's trust.

There is no harm in the Meng family being on good terms with him.

The people stretched their necks and looked at the word "誠" curiously.

People kept praising it, saying that the characters were well written, with the brush strokes flowing like snakes and dragons, and the strokes being as smooth as iron and as silver as hooks.

"We will send this calligraphy to the Song Mansion later."

"No need." Madam Song stepped out from the crowd, "I will accept it here."

After saying that, she knelt down with her skirt lifted up.

Meng Chifei handed the scroll to her very solemnly, and then helped her up.

Mrs. Song was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes: "This calligraphy is my Song family's heirloom!"

Ordinary people can only envy them.

Instead, it is the rich people who regret not folding.

You can get the emperor's calligraphy for 20,000 taels, which is better than buying cabbages on the street.

With its blessing, others will have to respect him more when he walks around the Chamber of Commerce in the future.

It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world.

Just as these people were beating their chests and stamping their feet.

Meng Chifei added: "One of the two calligraphy works will be given away, and the remaining one will be given to the kind-hearted person who spends the most money after the auction."

The wealthy businessman who had just been sighing and lamenting suddenly became energetic again.

I am determined to win the other piece of calligraphy!

They looked at each other and the people around them, and when their eyes met, it was as if swords were clashing, sparks flying.

After dispersing the onlookers.

Close the shop.

Meng Chifei moved out two heavy wooden boxes and placed them on the counter.

Wen Yan looked at Ying Zhilin and said, "Please settle today's bill. Chi Fei and I will go and collect it."

Miss Jiang San and Zhu Lele bought the imperial gift, but haven't paid yet!

They held two sealed brocade boxes and went to Jiang's house first.

The Jiang family's doorman was stunned when he saw Wen Yan.

Wen Yan raised the brocade box in her hand and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang San bought something in our store today. We delivered it to her door and settled the bill on the way."

Since it was a matter of money, the doorman hurried in to inform them.

soon.

The doorman brought out the Jiang family's accountant.

The accountant looked relaxed.

It seems that Miss Jiang San didn't tell her family anything after returning home.

The Jiang family was still kept in the dark and thought that Miss Jiang San was just like any other girl, buying some jewelry and head ornaments and spending 180 taels of silver.

Wen Yan handed over the receipt.

When the accountant saw the amount on the counter, his hands trembled: "I can't make a decision on such a large amount. Please allow me to go back and report to my wife."

"Go ahead." Wen Yan nodded.

The accountant quickly ran to report to the mistress of the house.

When Mrs. Jiang heard the eight thousand taels of silver, she was in disbelief at first, and then she felt that her daughter had been set up and cheated.

"Which shop is here to collect the bill?"

The accountant wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's the second young lady of the Wen Mansion."

"Wen Yan?" Mrs. Jiang narrowed her eyes and felt that she saw through everything.

Her face was gloomy and she asked someone to call Miss Jiang San.

After Miss Jiang San returned home, she was afraid that her parents would find out about this and punish her.

She locked herself in the room and didn't even dare to go out.

Now that the truth was revealed, she was not so scared anymore.

When she saw Madam Jiang, she started crying aggrievedly: "Mother, it was Wen Yan who deliberately harmed me. It was a trap she set."

"What happened? Tell me what happened from the beginning."

Miss Jiang San then told the story with exaggeration.

In her story, she is innocent.

Wen Yan had evil intentions and deliberately set the trap.

Zhu Lele was simple-minded and was easily fooled by Wen Yan, and even implicated herself.

Of course, she didn't dare mention that the green jade bottle was a gift from the emperor.

Madam Jiang said with a cold face: "Who the hell is Wen Yan?

It's just a jade bottle, yet she dares to ask for eight thousand taels. I think she's crazy because of poverty!"
