Chapter 14: Ravage

"If you feel like you're losing money, you can just do what Jin Man Lou did and not recycle. Why bother with all this? I bought it just because they recycle it."

"They're just using this gimmick to attract people. Someone actually bought it, and they're saying this. It's disgusting. I'm not buying it. Let's go..."

Xu Mubai's eyes were cold and sharp, but he smiled, "Can you guys listen to me?"

When the customers who were about to leave heard the shopkeeper was about to speak, they stopped in their tracks.

"There is indeed no writing on the inner wall of the bracelet in this gentleman's hand, because the word 'Man' is printed on the outer wall of the bracelet."

Outer wall?

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

The man with patches all over his body also subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the bracelet in his hand. The two customers standing beside him who came to the store to buy things came over.

Sure enough, in the pattern on the outer wall of the bracelet, in an inconspicuous place, there was a word "Man" engraved.

The word "Man" also confirms that this bracelet is indeed not Jin Jinglou's, but Jin Manlou's.

Everyone was in an uproar, and almost at the same time, they looked at the man covered in patches.

"Look...what am I doing?"

The panic in his expression was no longer as fleeting as it was just now, but was obvious and could not be suppressed.

"It must be...it must be you. You switched my bracelet when you were checking it just now."

A smile appeared on Xu Mubai's handsome face, but the smile seemed a bit ironic no matter how you looked at it.

"If I remember correctly, this gentleman just said, 'This bracelet has been on my hand since the moment I walked in. How did you guys see the word 'Man' on it?"

After hearing this, everyone started discussing it in sudden realization.

"Yes, yes, I think I really did say that."

"Yes, I heard it."

"Tsk, if it wasn't bought at Jinjinglou, then it's not. Fabricating facts for such a small profit is really disgusting."

An elderly lady dressed in gorgeous clothes walked into the crowd.

"What a coincidence! I also bought the bracelet on my hand at Jinjinglou three years ago. I came to see if it has the 'Jing' character that the shopkeeper mentioned."

As she spoke, she took off her bracelet.

only……

Didn't take it off.

Xu Mubai: ...

The lady was embarrassed and frowned. "Three years ago, my wrists were still very slender."

Xu Mubai walked over and said, "Madam, you look rosy and have a face full of wealth. You must be living a life of luxury. You can tell at a glance that you are a blessed person."

The waiter brought the moisturizing oil specially used for wearing jade bracelets and handed it to the lady's personal maid.

Following the smoothness of the moisturizing oil, the gold bracelet was taken off.

Everyone gathered around curiously.

"Really? There really is a 'Jing' character!"

"The shopkeeper didn't lie. The bracelet I bought three years ago really did have the word 'Jing' on it."

The lady seemed very satisfied with what Xu Mubai had said to help her out. She smiled and said, "Since it's too small and I finally took it off, I won't wear it anymore. I'll just buy a new one. Shopkeeper, go see if there are any new styles and bring them over for me to try."

Xu Mubai said slowly, "Madam, would you like to exchange your original bracelet for a new one? I only need to pay the price difference and the processing fee."

"Is it possible? Is it really possible?" The lady's eyes were shocked.

"Of course." Xu Mubai called the shop assistant, "Go and get the new bracelets that arrived yesterday for Madam to try on."

"Yes, Shopkeeper Xu..."

Seeing this, the man with patches all over his body took advantage of the moment when the crowd was in a panic and sneaked out.

Xu Mubai found two guards at Jinjing Tower and whispered something in their ears. The guards quickly followed him out...

At the same time, Pearl, who was standing on the second floor, was filled with amazement.

"I never could have guessed that Shopkeeper Xu, who is so refined and polite, with such a quick mind and clear thoughts, could face such a scoundrel with such composure, without a single ripple on his face. He even memorized everything he said, word for word. His memory is incredible..."

Su Yunyao waited for a long time, and when she saw that Zhenzhu had stopped talking, she frowned and asked, "That's it? That's all? Are you done with the praise?"

Pearl shook her head, then nodded, and asked in confusion, "Princess, what else should I have?"

Su Yunyao: ...

"Don't you think besides all this, he's very handsome? The kind where he's like a puppy, kneeling on the ground, with his arms tied with ropes, looking like he's been bullied miserably, looking up at me with tears in his eyes, calling me sister, and then putting him on the bed and ravaging him?"

pearl:……

What a vivid picture!

But inside her, the screams of a groundhog were already ringing.

Abuse Manager Xu?

She felt that she would never be able to look Manager Xu in the eye again!

The eldest princess' words were magical. When she saw Shopkeeper Xu, she remembered what the princess had just said.

wrong!

When did Manager Xu come up?

Or maybe the scene the princess mentioned was too eye-catching and caused her to hallucinate.

Clearly, early this morning, the eldest princess said in front of the emperor...that she wanted to sleep with General Huo!

Inside Pearl's heart, the crazy groundhog screamed once again!

Help!

Xu Mubai stood at the door and did not hear what Zhenzhu said, so he didn't know that the person Su Yunyao was talking about was him.

I was just surprised that the eldest princess, a woman, could speak so boldly.

She makes no secret of her love for men.

But when she thought about how she had followed Shen Qiu Nian around every day and had forced Shen Qiu Nian into a desperate situation, she asked to go to Rongcheng.

It seemed that what she had just said was reasonable.

But she actually wanted to tie up the man and ravage him...

A blush inexplicably appeared on the back of Xu Mubai's ears.

"I'm tired, let's go back."

Su Yunyao yawned lazily.

"By the way, what about Jin Manlou that person just mentioned? Doesn't our store accept Jin Manlou's things?" Su Yunyao asked puzzledly.

"It's not that I don't want to accept it, but someone brought something from Jin Manlou here before, and after cutting it open, they found that the bracelet wasn't made of gold, but silver."

The bracelet is not made of gold, but silver.

Isn’t that just gold wrapped in silver?

"I will report this matter to the princess after I have thoroughly investigated it..."

Su Yunyao nodded and said, "By the way, let's check the details of the man with patches all over his body who just came to the store to cause trouble."

Xu Mubai was shocked. "Did the princess notice anything wrong?"

"Although the man's clothes were covered in patches, the fabric of the robe didn't look very old. Instead, the patches looked like they were deliberately sewn on."

"Also, the way he speaks is so obvious. Even if a well-read person tries to act like a scoundrel, even if he tries to hide it, some of his habits will inevitably slip out..."
