Ivy took Yingying to measure the size next door, and their conversation could be heard clearly here.
"Miss Yingying, you are not only beautiful, but also have a great figure. You look good in any material."
"If I were older and became a grown-up girl, I wonder how many men would covet me."
Yingying, who was stripped down to her underwear, blushed with shame, bit her lips, lowered her head and said nothing.
This Ivy was too talkative. Having never dealt with humans before, she had no idea how to respond.
She understood what Ivy said, but she didn't know how to refute it so that she could hold her head up high.
If Ivy knew that Yingying was really just a child, she would definitely not say these words.
Jun Shutong took a bite of the pastry, spit it out, tried another piece, and swallowed it with difficulty.
"This pastry looks colorful, but it doesn't taste good at all. It's nowhere near the pastries I have at home."
“Isn’t it delicious?”
Xia Xue picked up a piece of cake and put it into her mouth suspiciously. The cakes here were supplied by a special shop. Although they were not as tasty as those in the palace, they were not so bad as to be unpalatable, right?
After taking a small bite, the pastry was too sweet and rough, and it even scratched my throat when I swallowed it.
"Miss, this is not Zhou Ji's pastry. It looks similar, but the taste is completely different."
Jun Shutong understood that someone had replaced the original pastries with inferior ones in order to make money.
At this time, Yingying came in after taking her measurements. Her face was flushed and she was fiddling with her skirt with her fingers, looking a little embarrassed. It seemed that Ivy had teased her a lot.
"How is it, are you still adapting?"
"Not bad, thank you, Miss."
Jun Shutong waved his hand and let her sit wherever she wanted.
"Don't thank me in the future. Since you are following me, I will naturally take care of all your food, clothing and other expenses."
"Um."
"Knock."
The door opened and it was Ivy's voice.
"Miss, Shopkeeper Eli is here. Do you want to see him?"
Jun Shutong scolded him lightly. If he didn't come, he would ask Xia Xue to find him. As the shopkeeper, he was responsible for this matter of selling inferior goods as good ones.
"Let him in."
After he finished speaking, Ivy walked in first, followed by a tall and thin middle-aged man with narrow eyebrows, high cheekbones, and a pair of triangular fox eyes. He looked like a typical villain.
The most important thing is that this person's forehead is black and surrounded by yin energy, which almost turns into substance.
[How many immoral things have you done! ]
[Host, not only did he steal and replace the cakes to make a profit, he also tampered with the clothing. He marked up inferior clothing at exorbitant prices and passed them off as good quality. He even made a profit from selling them. However, all the profits went into his own pocket and were not recorded in the accounts.]
[Oh, so you're still cooking the books.]
"Hello, miss. Long live the lady."
"I didn't know the young lady was coming. I apologize for neglecting her."
As soon as Eli came in, he bowed and apologized to Jun Shutong, but his face did not show much respect.
If the waiter in the store had not found him in a hurry, he would have been floating in the clouds by now.
He rolled off the woman's belly trembling and ran to the store with his pants in his hands.
I hope that when I go back, that little ancestor will still be there.
So, when he came back and heard that Jun Shutong and others still needed to make clothes, he was no longer worried.
As long as they are not here to cause trouble, he is not worried. It is well known that Jun's grandmother has always been kind and lenient to her servants.
Even if I make a mistake, as long as it is not too serious and I admit it in time, my wife will give me another chance.
But today he met Jun Shutong, and she insisted on being serious.
"Eri, I don't like nonsense."
"What's with these cakes?"
"Don't say you don't know, this step requires the shopkeeper's signature for acceptance."
Eli glanced at the plate and saw a few pieces of pastry that had been bitten and spit out, and immediately knew that it was bad.
But his sense of luck made him feel that he could still give it a try.
"Miss, is there something wrong with this pastry?"
"If it doesn't suit your taste, I'll ask someone to go to another pastry shop next time."
Jun Shutong didn't want to waste time with this kind of person, so he said bluntly:
"There was something wrong with the pastries. They were replaced with the cheapest goods on the street. As the shopkeeper, you failed to fulfill your duties and secretly replaced the pastries to make a profit from the price difference. You said you didn't know?"
"Whether he did it unintentionally or on purpose, you know better than anyone else."
Eli continued to argue, "Miss, you don't know. Although I signed and confirmed it, I didn't taste it. I really didn't know that the cake had been replaced."
Jun Shutong stared at him, his little face expressionless, which made Eli feel uneasy.
Yingying looked at Jun Shutong and felt a little nervous. It was the first time she had seen such a serious lady.
When the young lady is not angry, she is just a lovely and good baby, and she even has the urge to pinch her.
But at this moment, the young lady's face was very serious, without a trace of warmth. He actually saw an expression that only adults would have on her face.
"Really? You don't know about pastries, but you should know the price difference of ready-made clothes, right?"
"And are you clear about every account you made?"
"thump."
Kneeling down in seconds seems to be a skill in this era. People kneel down immediately without any ambiguity.
[It's over, it's over, how could she know so much? ]
He handled all the account books and price differences by himself, and never let anyone else do it. Jun Shutong showed no mercy and went straight to the point, determined to make things difficult for him.
Every word Jun Shutong said struck Eli's heart, and at this moment he was so scared that his whole body was shaking.
He falsified accounts and embezzled public funds. If the Jun family reported him to the police, he would go to jail.
