Mrs. Chen laughed so hard that her mouth couldn't stop. "What do I need those things for at my age? I can't waste them!"
Having said that, Mrs. Chen couldn't let go of the dressing box.
Su Tai on the side hurriedly coaxed, "Grandma, we don't have to wear the headgear now, but you can't not wear the clothes Tiantian made for you! Look at the material, it's top-grade silk, so festive!
I think it's stuffed with cotton, so it feels warm."
The more Mrs. Chen listened, the happier she became.
Su Tai winked at Huang Xinghua, and Huang Xinghua hurriedly brought Wei Erya and Shen Xiang forward to help Chen Po change into the clothes made by Chen Tian.
She also combed Mrs. Chen's hair and pinned a luxurious golden hairpin on her.
After Mrs. Chen finished dressing up, Huang Xinghua couldn't help but admire, "Mom! You look so beautiful like this! Like a rich old lady."
"You just know how to coax me!" Mrs. Chen was very happy.
Shen Yi and others also hurried to praise.
At this moment, Shen Dagou hurried in and whispered something in the ears of Shen Yi and Tang Yu.
The two of them looked slightly changed and hurried out.
Murong Chen noticed the movements of the two and continued to keep his eyes on Mrs. Chen, with a gentle smile on his face all the time.
Shen Yi and Tang Yu walked out of the door and saw Zhu Yixuan and the coffin beside him. Their stern faces became more gloomy. "What does Master Zhu mean by this?"
Zhu Yixuan dismounted and clasped his fists, saying, “County Magistrate Shen, I came here today to make an unwelcome request. The coffin you bought from the coffin shop in the county was actually prepared for my father by the father of the owner of the coffin shop.
We later found out that he had sold the coffin without our consent, so we came to get it back. Shopkeeper Wu said he had received 500 taels from the county magistrate, so I prepared 1,000 taels and a top-quality nanmu coffin, asking the county magistrate to return the coffin to me."
"Your coffin?" Chen Yi raised his eyebrows. "Master Zhu, when we bought this coffin, we asked Shopkeeper Wu. He said that the Zhu family had not paid a deposit and had not given him a definite answer. So, is Shopkeeper Wu teasing me?"
Zhu Yixuan said calmly: "I don't know whether Shopkeeper Wu is teasing the county magistrate, but this coffin was made by Shopkeeper Wu's father specifically for my father. Shopkeeper Wu passed away early, and the rest of the work was handed over to his son.
My father had made an agreement with Shopkeeper Wu's father at the beginning!"
Chen Yi shook his head, "These are just your one-sided words. If Shopkeeper Wu had mentioned this matter in the shop, we would definitely not want the coffin, but Shopkeeper Wu took our money and made a guarantee. Now Young Master Zhu says that if it's yours, it's yours. It's too ridiculous!"
Zhu Yixuan's face immediately darkened, "Chen Yi, I know you are just entrusted by someone, this coffin was not bought by you, in this case, I will personally talk to this family!"
Tang Yu sneered and slowly took a step forward, "What do you have to say to me?"
"Who are you?" Zhu Yixuan looked at Tang Yu carefully. Seeing that he was a strange man with an elegant demeanor, he could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary person. He frowned immediately. When did such a person appear in Shen Dagou's family?
Tang Yu laughed and shook his head, "You are a nobody, so forget it! I paid for it, the things are mine, I want this coffin, please go back!"
Zhu Yixuan narrowed his eyes dangerously and raised his chin in an ambiguous way, "You are not a local! Although my Zhu family is only a local gentry, we still have a say in Zhaohua County. Are you sure you want to offend my Zhu family for a coffin?"
"What's up?"
Murong Chen's voice sounded behind Tang Yuchenyi.
The two of them hurriedly turned around and bowed.
Zhu Yixuan looked at the situation, feeling confused and uncertain, weighing what to do.
Tang Yu couldn't wait to complain, "Master, I bought the best coffin in the county according to your instructions. When we were in the coffin shop, the shopkeeper assured us that the coffin had no owner, and took five hundred taels from us. Now, the eldest son of the Zhu family in the county came to ask for it, bringing with him an unknown thing and one thousand taels, and insisted that we return the coffin."
"How dare you!" Murong Chen shouted angrily.
Tang Yu and Shen Yi knelt down one after another.
Seeing this, Zhu Yixuan hurriedly knelt down.
Although he didn't know Murong Chen's identity, since even the county magistrate Shen Yi had knelt, the person in front of him was obviously of noble status and not someone he could afford to provoke.
Murong Chen took two steps forward and looked down at Zhu Yixuan nonchalantly, "Is that so?"
"No! No! It's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding!" Zhu Yixuan denied it flatly.
Murong Chen sneered, and his voice became a little more lazy and impatient. "If it's a misunderstanding, then get lost! Remember, the whole world belongs to the king. A place like Zhaohua County can only be peaceful and tranquil. I don't want to hear any bullying, understand?"
"Yes!" Shen Yi and Tang Yu responded respectfully.
Zhu Yixuan became even more panicked. He kowtowed repeatedly to admit his mistake, and left Shenjiazhuang in a panic with his people and belongings.
As soon as he left the village, he hurriedly ordered his men to hurry back to the county town. On the way, he saw the group of housekeeper Zhu making things difficult for the coffin bearers, and he was so angry that he whipped them hard, "You bastards! Get out of here!"
Butler Zhu covered his face in confusion, not knowing what to do, "Master, this coffin..."
"You bastard! Take your men and deliver the things to Shenjiazhuang. If anything goes wrong, don't come back!" Zhu Yixuan vented all his anger on housekeeper Zhu.
After cursing, he led his men back.
Butler Zhu's face turned pale and blue, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Zheng Ergui quickly called on his companions to carry the coffin.
By the time they arrived at Shenjiazhuang, everyone was exhausted.
Place the coffin in Shen Mu’s yard.
Shen Yi checked it carefully, confirmed that there was no problem, and paid immediately.
The group of people all laughed when they saw the money.
Zheng Ergui complained: "Sir Shen, you don't know how arrogant the Zhu family's housekeeper is. He insisted that the coffin belonged to their master and kept stopping us from leaving. He also asked us to carry the things back to the city.
I thought, this is not right! Lord Shen didn't speak in person, we can't listen to them, so we gritted our teeth and carried the coffin over. Fortunately, we didn't listen to them at that time. "
"That's right! Butler Zhu is still not giving up and keeps making things difficult for us. Fortunately, we have more people, so we are not afraid. It just took us some time."
A few people were afraid that Shen Yi would misunderstand that they were lazy, so they explained it specially.
When Murong Chen heard this, he was extremely angry.
"Someone, come here! Tell Lu Tong to arrest Master Zhu and the housekeeper's group!"
No one dared to mess with the angry Murong Chen, even Tang Yu and Shen Yi were silent.
The Chenmu family was trembling with fear.
I was a little bolder and asked, "Your Highness, do you plan to stay in the village or go back to the county town overnight?" (End of this chapter)
