Chapter 46 Cats and Dogs
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's face immediately darkened and he said, "I really don't know her. My humble mistress is the eldest lady of the Marquis of Anguo Mansion, not just any random person."
"How dare you! Who are you calling a cat or a dog? Our surname is Du, and we are from the Minister's Mansion."
"So it's from Minister Du's family. No wonder." The shopkeeper shook his head, looking confused.
He had also heard about the Yue family being imprisoned and the Du brothers and sisters' behavior. After all, this shop originally belonged to the Yue family. It was just that their eldest wife bought it before the family's property was confiscated.
Now, seeing the Du family's siblings, he had nothing but contempt. Not only had they taken advantage of the Yue family, but they had also treated the Yue family's people like this. What an ungrateful bastard.
"What do you mean by that?" Du Ruolan's face darkened slightly, and she was very unhappy. She was already annoyed enough by the sudden change of the shop owner. Now, this new shop owner didn't even take her seriously. It was simply abominable.
After all, she is a daughter of an official family, just a small shopkeeper. Why do you look down on her?
"Ms. Du, don't you know what you've done? You said you're the owner of this shop. So, Ms. Du, when this shop opened, what did you invest in it, and what did you do to help? Did you help with the supply, or contact customers, or pay the rent?"
"Me?" Du Ruolan was speechless. She had never done any of these things, not even a single ounce of silver.
"Why, you can't tell me? Then let me tell you, Miss Du, what happened to you?" The shopkeeper's eyes became increasingly mocking. "You just cried a few words in front of Miss Yue, saying that your family has no property, your monthly salary is only one tael, and you can't even afford to buy a decent gift for your good friend."
"How did you know?" Du Ruolan was shocked. This was indeed the case, but how could the new shopkeeper not know?
Could it be that Yue Fuli told him?
Damn Yue Fuli, how could he tell her such a thing?
"How would I know?" The shopkeeper sneered and said calmly, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Miss Du knows what she has done, doesn't she? And Miss Yue is so kind that she actually gave you money for free, and even considered your pride, saying it was dividends, fearing you wouldn't accept it. But what did you do?"
Du Ruolan's face turned red, she was embarrassed.
I came here happily, but ended up being scolded by a shopkeeper. It was all Yue Fuli's fault. She deserved to die.
Du Ruolan didn't look for the reason in herself, but instead hated Yue Fuli again. It turned out that Yue Fuli sent her money every month, but she sent it to the wrong person.
"Brother Ming, let's go!" Du Ruolan couldn't stay any longer and left with her brother in a panic. Before leaving, she could still hear the shopkeeper's voice, "Miss Yue is so pitiful. Her sincerity has been wasted."
Yue Fuli had no idea what was happening in the capital. She was still on her way. Because she had something on her feet, she couldn't walk fast, so she discussed with Hu Wei about removing the thing on her feet.
Hu Wei glanced at Yue Fuli and said calmly, "Miss Yue, it's not impossible to remove it if you want, but you should understand the rules, right?"
When Yue Fuli heard this, she knew there was something she didn't understand. She immediately took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into Hu Wei's pocket, saying, "I understand. I understand the rules."
