Now that Nan Wusi's anger had subsided, he planned to go out and deal with matters concerning his shop.
She couldn't let Ouyang Jiangli get away with such shamelessness.
On his way to Lanyifang, Nan Wusi unexpectedly ran into Wu Qingzi.
Originally, the two did not have much interaction. Although the original owner of this body did not get along with Wu Qingzi, Nan Wusi was unwilling to make enemies unnecessarily, and Wu Qingzi also looked down on Nan Wusi.
Originally, neither of them intended to talk to the other, but after walking for a long time, they ended up going the same way.
Nan Wusi was somewhat surprised as to why Wu Qingzi would come to this remote street.
"Miss Wu, this place is quite far from the main street. What brings you here?"
"Miss Nan, it seems I don't need to report my whereabouts to you." Wu Qingzi had always looked down on Nan Wusi, so she spoke without any politeness.
“Miss Wu, I was just asking casually. If you don’t want to tell me, that’s fine,” Nan Wusi said with a smile, not caring about Wu Qingzi’s attitude.
Nan Wusi actually quite admired Wu Qingzi when reading the novel, as she had a strong sense of chivalry. However, she had many conflicts with the original owner of the body, and Nan Wusi hoped that the two could reconcile.
However, Nan Wusi's attitude made Wu Qingzi frown. According to Nan Wusi's original personality, she would have started a fight at the slightest disagreement. Now she was speaking so politely, which made Wu Qingzi very uncomfortable.
Although Wu Qingzi and Nan Wusi had a conflict, it wasn't really a matter of principle. So, seeing that Nan Wusi's attitude was relatively good, Wu Qingzi didn't confront him directly. She said, "I heard that the clothes at Lirenfang are of excellent quality and very cheap. It sounds very interesting, so I decided to come and take a look."
After hearing Wu Qingzi's words, Nan Wusi stopped in his tracks, looked at her intently, and remained silent.
Seeing Nan Wusi's actions, Wu Qingzi was puzzled and stopped to look at him.
"Miss Wu, I originally thought you were a reasonable person, but I never expected you would become an accomplice to evil." Nan Wusi said calmly, but he had already made up his mind.
"What do you mean by that!" Wu Qingzi's anger flared instantly upon hearing Nan Wusi's words. She had always prided herself on having a sense of justice and always helping those injustices. She never expected that one day she would be accused of aiding and abetting evil by someone she used to despise.
“Miss Wu, there’s no need to get angry at me. I’m just stating the facts.” Nan Wusi looked at Wu Qingzi and asked, “Does Miss Wu know who owns Lirenfang?”
"I heard she's the Crown Prince's concubine, Ouyang Jiangli," Wu Qingzi replied, though she didn't understand.
"Does Miss Wu know of a clothing store called Lan Yi Fang around here?" Nan Wusi continued to ask.
"I've heard of it before, but it seems to have declined." Wu Qingzi didn't understand why Nan Wusi was asking this.
"Since Miss Wu is unaware of the truth, she must have been deceived by a villain. But what I want to tell Miss Wu today is that I am the owner of Lan Yi Fang, and during the time I was away from the capital, Li Ren Fang became what it is today by stealing my blueprints."
"If Miss Wu still has a sense of justice, then please do not go to that Lirenfang to aid and abet evil." After saying this, Nan Wusi continued walking forward without looking back.
Her goal was to ignite Wu Qingzi's anger, which would help her plans proceed smoothly.
As expected, Wu Qingzi immediately chased after him after hearing this. She couldn't stand such things. She was the daughter of the Minister of War, and her elder brother was the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. She had been exposed to injustice since childhood and had a strong sense of righteousness. When she encountered such injustice, she naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.
“Miss Nan, what evidence do you have to say this?” Wu Qingzi stopped Nan Wusi. “Do you know that falsely accusing someone is punishable by law, especially since this person is a member of the royal family?”
“My Lan Yi Fang has been open for several months, and I have the blueprints for all the clothes. Li Ren Fang not only opened after I left the capital, but all the clothes in it are exactly the same as those in Lan Yi Fang, and even the interior decoration is exactly the same. Miss Wu can verify all of this herself.”
"As for why I say she stole my blueprints, it's because I visited all my tailors and found evidence that they were secretly selling my blueprints," Nan Wusi explained to Wu Qingzi. She knew that, given Wu Qingzi's personality, she would definitely investigate what she said.
“Miss Wu, although I know we used to disagree, I have changed now. I opened this Lan Yi Fang in the hope that poor people could wear new clothes and live a more comfortable life.”
"This Lan Yi Fang is the culmination of my months of hard work, and every garment is a product of my own meticulous design. This Li Ren Fang is squandering my efforts, so naturally I will not let it go."
“I know Miss Wu is righteous and doesn’t want you to be deceived by others and do something against your conscience without knowing the truth.” Nan Wusi looked directly into Wu Qingzi’s eyes, showing his sincerity.
Wu Qingzi was also moved by Nan Wusi's words. Although she knew that Nan Wusi had done many terrible things in the past, she had heard about his actions in the past six months, but she had never taken the initiative to verify them.
Hearing Nan Wusi's sincere words, she was truly intrigued.
“Miss Nan, rest assured, if what you say is true, then I will definitely stand by your side.” Wu Qingzi looked at Nan Wusi seriously and said, “But it’s too early to draw conclusions now. I will verify it myself. But is Miss Nan heading to her Lan Yi Fang now?”
“Yes, if Miss Wu is interested, she can come with me. I would be honored.” Nan Wusi smiled, quite satisfied with Wu Qingzi’s reaction.
“Okay, I’ll go with you to take a look.” Wu Qingzi had the same idea.
The two arrived together at Nan Wusi's Lan Yi Fang, where Hu Zi's mother immediately came to greet them.
"Manager Nan, hello to this young lady."
"Sister Fang, this is Miss Wu. She wants to take a look at the clothes in our shop," Nan Wusi introduced to Hu Zi's mother with a smile.
"Hello, Miss Wu. You are welcome to browse the clothes in our Lan Yi Fang. I will answer any questions you may have." Tiger's mother bowed to Wu Qingzi.
"Okay, I'll just look around. You guys go ahead and do your work." Wu Qingzi glanced at Nan Wusi, then went to examine the clothes.
Wu Qingzi had never been here before, and Nan Wusi had told her so much, so she carefully examined the decorations and clothing styles of Lan Yi Fang, wanting to have a clear understanding of the place.
"Manager Nan, has the matter been clarified now?" Tiger's mother was very concerned about the results of Nan Wusi's investigation yesterday.
"It's been investigated. Those tailor shops that betrayed us will never be used again." Nan Wusi told Hu Zi's mother that, apart from Old Tailor Sun, all other tailor shops would no longer need to send them goods.
Nan Wusi originally decided to let them supply goods because he wanted to ensure their livelihoods wouldn't be affected, but now that they're so ungrateful, Nan Wusi naturally can't continue being a pushover.
