Song Miaoyin quickly echoed, but her voice unconsciously carried a hint of anger, "That's right, Huichuntang is just a small shop, nothing special. It hasn't even established itself in the capital yet. It only attracts a lot of customers with its novelties. It's not worth mentioning."
Not only did the Lin family ruin the Song family's chance to become imperial merchants, but they also got close to Jiang Yimian, that village girl, which made her dislike them even more.
Having finally arrived in the capital, the Lin family followed, and their business in the capital was booming, far surpassing that of the Song family's shop.
She gets annoyed just hearing the name "Huichuntang" now.
It always reminds her of what happened in Qingshui County.
Although the others didn't quite agree with what he said, they didn't say anything more and just picked out cosmetics from the shelf.
Jiang Yimian was looking around when she unexpectedly ran into Xue Lingyu and her group, but she pretended not to see them.
Song Miaoyin suddenly exploded, glaring at her with resentment, her hands clenching tightly around the handkerchief, her voice sharp as she said, "It's you! Why are you here? What are you trying to do? You've made me lose..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xue Lingyu tugged at her, and she realized she had misspoke, so she quickly shut her mouth.
However, the anger on his face did not diminish in the slightest, and his fingertips dug deeply into his flesh.
Jiang Yimian merely raised an eyebrow, ignoring the others, and continued looking at the cosmetics on the shelf.
Xue Lingyu gestured for the people behind her to surround Jiang Yimian, and snorted coldly, "I didn't expect you to come to the capital. Are you so blinded by the prosperity of the capital that you don't know your own identity?"
Let me tell you, this isn't Qinghe Town, this is my territory, understand?
Xie Yu hasn't returned to the capital yet, so no one can protect her. This village girl is not someone she can control.
Jiang Yimian didn't even raise her head, and said in a cold tone, "I've only ever heard of stray dogs urinating to fight for territory, I never thought Miss Xue would do that too."
According to Miss Xue's instructions, every corner of the capital city was marked with her imprint.
After saying that, he casually glanced at the person in front of him, shook his head silently, and showed a hint of disdain on his face.
Xue Lingyu stood there stunned, somewhat unable to react.
Several of her followers burst out laughing first, but quickly stopped.
When Xue Lingyu realized what was happening, she was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at Jiang Yimian and said, "You, you are so vulgar. You really are a country bumpkin. What are you saying? You, you are the stray dog. I would never do such a vulgar thing."
Jiang Yimian merely chuckled and said indifferently, "Since Miss Xue isn't, then could you please step aside?"
If she didn't have other things to do, she wouldn't bother wasting her breath arguing with this person.
Xue Lingyu's eyes darted around, and instead of dodging away, she kept moving closer to Jiang Yimian.
Jiang Yimian frowned and was about to step back when Xue Lingyu suddenly stepped back and crashed into the shelf behind her with a "bang".
Immediately, many bottles and jars of cosmetics fell to the ground and shattered with a "crash".
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow, staring at the smug-looking person lying on the ground, and found it somewhat amusing.
She thought this person would come up with some brilliant tricks to deal with her! She had overestimated him.
The loud noise immediately attracted a lot of people, and several customers and the shop's female employees all gathered around.
Upon seeing this, Xue Lingyu collapsed to the ground, looking utterly terrified. "Why, why did you push me?"
Song Miaoyin also hurriedly said angrily, "You've gone too far! Sister Lingyu only said that you, a village girl, don't understand incense, and you pushed her. You have no manners at all."
Why don't you kick this person out of Baoxiangfang? Such a vulgar and unruly person shouldn't be in Baoxiangfang.
Today you offended the daughter of the Minister's family, who knows who you'll offend tomorrow!
She should also compensate for these things.
She just saw it; there were thousands of items on one shelf, which was worth at least a thousand taels of silver. Even if the person could produce that amount, they would be skinned alive.
Moreover, with the name of the Minister's Mansion, the people in Baoxiangfang would not dare to make things difficult for them, but the village girl might not be so lucky.
I reckon I shouldn't expect to get into Baoxiangfang in the future.
Other shops might follow suit and not let her in.
Upon seeing this, the ladies and young women watching all looked at Jiang Yimian differently, and some even quietly moved away.
"Everyone says that commoners are the lowest of the low, and now it seems that's really true! They still don't want to admit that they don't understand incense."
If you ask me, you should go to the outskirts of the capital. How dare you come to Baoxiangfang? Do you think you can afford anything there?
"That's right, now you've even offended the daughter of the Minister's family. I think you don't want to live anymore."
"That's right. From now on, Baoxiangfang should put up a sign to say that those lowly commoners are not allowed to enter, so as not to offend us."
Hearing this, the maid from Baoxiangfang frowned but dared not say anything. They exchanged glances and stopped the people in front of the shelves. Just as they were about to ask, they heard a cold voice.
"Lowly commoners? What, your ancestors were all wealthy and noble? Who didn't come from humble beginnings? How dare you insult your ancestors?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in her thirties coming down from upstairs. She was wearing a simple white shirt and looked somewhat serious.
The people in the lobby on the first floor gasped, their eyes filled with surprise and astonishment as they looked at her. However, the admonition in her words made them blush and dare not approach her, only whispering among themselves.
