Chapter 1846 Why Should She Compensate
"Are you threatening me?" Madam Guan sneered, "Who do you think you are? How dare you threaten me! Do you want evidence? Oh, well, I'll give you evidence now!"
In front of Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Guan slowly took off the jade bracelet on her wrist. Under Mrs. Jia's confused gaze, she raised the jade bracelet and shook it at her. Then she loosened her grip and the jade bracelet fell to the ground with a "click" and broke into three pieces.
Mrs. Jia widened her eyes in surprise, "You——"
Madam Guan sneered: "You broke my bracelet, which is worth four hundred taels of silver. Madam Jia, are you going to pay me back, or buy me a bracelet of equal value as compensation?"
The bracelet was a pleasant emerald green, emitting a soft and lustrous glow. Even if it was not worth four hundred taels of silver, it was at least worth more than two hundred taels, making it quite valuable.
At least, Mrs. Jia couldn't afford two hundred or four hundred silver coins as compensation.
Besides, why should she be compensated?
Mrs. Jia and her servants were all shocked by Mrs. Guan's shamelessness.
"Obviously, obviously it was you—"
"What about me?" Madam Guan sneered, "Such valuable jewelry, could it be that I dropped it on purpose? That's ridiculous!"
“Obviously!”
"Who would believe that? Don't think that just because you are the wife of the governor you can confuse right and wrong and slander at will!"
“…”
Fan Ruyin was enjoying the flowers with the other ladies, chatting and laughing. She happened to come over and heard the two arguing. She stepped forward and smiled brightly and meaningfully, "Madam Guan and Madam Jia are such good friends! What are you whispering about behind everyone's back?"
Madam Guan sneered and immediately said, "Madam Bai, you are here just in time to judge..."
She spoke quickly and angrily, "Tell me, should Madam Jia pay compensation and apologize? This is not the way to bully people, right?"
Mrs. Jia was so anxious that she almost cried, "I didn't! I didn't touch her at all, how could I have broken her bracelet! She broke it herself!"
Mrs. Guan sneered repeatedly.
Fan Ruyin also laughed and said, "But that's not what Madam Guan said. Besides, why would Madam Guan break her bracelet? This bracelet doesn't look cheap! Madam Jia, the chancellor Jia is no longer the same as before. It's not like he can't come up with the money. Can Madam Jia still not afford to pay for it?"
Another lady also laughed and said, "With only the two of you here, I also think it is unlikely that Madam Guan would smash her own things. Madam Jia can't deliberately deny it in order to avoid compensation!"
"That's right, this is too bullying!"
Mrs. Guan was very proud and forced Mrs. Jia to compensate her and apologize.
Fan Ruyin said in a veiled tone, "Although Madam Jia is now the wife of the governor, she can't be so unreasonable! Madam Jia has really changed a lot. After all, I have seen Madam Jia once or twice before. Compared with today, she is very different. It is really impressive! Now that she is the wife of the governor, she is different. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Just be brave enough to do it, and be brave enough to take responsibility!"
Madam Guan sneered, "That's right! If you dare to do it, why don't you dare to take responsibility? I know you have been holding a grudge against me for a long time, and now you have caught the opportunity - haha, if it was something else, it would be fine, but this bracelet is my favorite thing, and it is worth a lot of money. Our family is not doing well now, and we can't afford to waste this money! Even if you threaten me, I have to tell you the truth!"
