Xu Yi didn't even know how he walked out of the bookstore. The soft touch on his cheek felt like a dream, so unreal.

But when his arm moved, he realized that he had actually been hit by Fu Man'er.

After Fu Man'er chased Xu Yi away, she leaned against the small couch to rest for a while when Wang Jingjing sent someone to tell her that something had happened at the cloth shop.

"How could such fine cloth tear so easily?" When Fu Man'er rushed over, Wang Jingjing had already brought all the cloth back with her people.

This is fabric destined for a clothing store in town. It was just delivered this morning, and they came knocking on the door this afternoon.

The shopkeeper was a hot-tempered old woman who threw the cloth in front of Wang Jingjing and started talking.

"I have always trusted your Xuanhe Cloth Shop. No matter how cheap other cloth shops are, I have never been tempted."

"Look at this cloth you gave me, it tore with the slightest touch."

“We make clothes for wealthy families, not for prostitutes in brothels. What do you mean by giving me clothes that tear so easily?”

"They even say that the fabric from Xuanhe Cloth Workshop is the best, but I think it's nothing special."

“I still have many customers waiting for this fabric to make clothes. How am I supposed to explain this to them after what Xuanhe Fabric Shop has done?”

After finally managing to appease the shopkeeper, Wang Jingjing immediately had someone summon Fu Man'er.

“This cloth looks no different from ordinary cloth, but it’s as fragile as paper.” Wang Jingjing picked up one of the pieces and gently tugged at it, and the cloth tore instantly.

Fu Man'er also tried it out, and found that this kind of fabric was impossible to cut, let alone make clothes.

"First, go to the clothing shop to apologize and see how much they have lost. We'll make up for it first. Then, go to other fabric shops and see if they have any suitable fabrics so the shopkeepers can go and get them directly."

The clothing store uses a large amount of fabric every month. Although we don't know why the fabric is like this, we need to stabilize the clothing store first.

"It's too late." Wang Jingjing said with a mournful face.

When the clothing shop came over, it caused quite a stir. Now, several fabric shops in the town know that there's a problem with the fabric made by Xuanhe Fabric Shop, and they've all brought their own fabrics to them.

Fu Man'er also thought of this. At this time, if someone's cloth wins the favor of the clothing store, it will solve the clothing store's urgent problem. In the future, they may order cloth from him.

"You should go and make the trip yourself. No matter what, this is trouble we've caused them."

"The loss must be compensated. As for whether the cloth is still needed, that's up to the shopkeeper. We won't force you to accept it."

In terms of interpersonal relationships, Fu Man'er was quite thoughtful; she couldn't let the relationship between the clothing shop and Xuanhe Cloth Shop completely break down.

After Wang Jingjing left, the manager of the cloth shop came forward and said, "Boss, we followed the previous procedures for this batch of cloth without any mistakes."

The manager looked at Fu Man'er with trepidation. It was only a batch of cloth that had been returned, but for Xuanhe Cloth Shop, the loss was still considerable.

As the manager of the cloth shop, he is certainly not without fault.

"Have you checked all the other fabrics? Have you found any similar problems?" Fu Man'er didn't question him.

Now that problems have arisen, cursing won't help. The first thing to do is to figure out how to minimize the losses.

"They've all been checked, and apart from the batch that was just sent out this morning, the rest are all fine."

It could be said that as soon as the shopkeeper left, the workers spontaneously began to inspect the premises, fearing that a similar situation might occur again.

"That's strange. They're all from the same dye house, so why is this one so fragile, like paper?"

"My guess is that the dye might have been changed," the steward said.

The day after the fabric was dyed, everyone discovered that there were suddenly more insects in the dye vat, so the manager ordered that all the dye be poured out and replaced with fresh dye.

"Did you throw away all the dye?" Fu Man'er asked.

"Yes, I saw a few small insects floating in the dye vat. I was afraid they would get on the cloth, so I had them all thrown away."

The steward's words only deepened Fu Man'er's doubts.

Insect repellent powder was used around the cloth workshop to prevent small insects from flying into the dye vat or onto the cloth being dried.

Previously, there had never been any flying insects dying in the dye vat in the cloth workshop.

"Have someone go and check out the insect repellent around the cloth shop."

The manager found someone and sent him to do the task.

"Master, what about the workers at the cloth shop today?" The manager looked at Fu Man'er, seemingly hesitant to speak.

It's difficult to make a move during the day when there are too many people around, but at night, when it's quiet and peaceful, that's a good opportunity to strike.

Fu Man'er was about to call the gatekeeper in for questioning when she paused in flipping through the paper. "Hasn't Zhao Yuzhi gone home yet?"

Shuangxi leaned over to take a look and saw that the paper recorded that someone had talked to Zhao Yuzhi a lot, and the others thought that the person was asking Zhao Yuzhi about the family's traditional crafts.

"This servant doesn't know either. Should we go and ask now?" Shuangxi had heard Wang Jingjing mention this person a few days ago, but hadn't heard from him in the past few days and thought he had stopped talking about it.

Fu Man'er pulled this out separately and said, "Bring in everyone who has had contact with Zhao Yuzhi."

Fu Man'er already felt something was off about Zhao Yuzhi's previous behavior, and now that this incident has happened and Zhao Yuzhi has gotten involved, it's hard for Fu Man'er not to notice her.
