Chapter 81 Liang Yusong asks Lu Jiangnian for help
When Cao Lanxin saw Yuan Wanru filled with righteous indignation and seeking justice for Liang Yusong, she felt indescribable feelings in her heart!
Cao Lanzhi didn't understand what was going on and was extremely angry. She helped to express her support: "That's right, is your store a shady one? Whose store would have so many rats? If someone gets into trouble in your store, you must give an explanation."
Liang Yusong came from a noble family, and the Cao family could not afford to offend him. Today's trip was proposed by the third sister, and afterward, she was really worried that Liang Yusong would vent his anger on them.
The shopkeeper was originally looking at them with a domineering expression, but when he heard Yuan Wanru mention the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion and the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, he knew that today's incident would not end well.
He immediately bowed to Yuan Wanru and apologized respectfully: "It is our store's fault for scaring our distinguished guests. We will get to the bottom of this matter."
"You two, why don't you hurry up and help Miss Liang to the inner hall to rest."
He pointed at a few maids and asked them to help Lamei carry Liang Yusong to the inner hall.
Yuan Wanru snorted coldly, not buying it at all, and acted arrogantly: "I don't want to hear this, I just want to know where the rat came from, and how you plan to compensate me for my losses?"
"I bought two pieces of clothing from you yesterday. They must have been crawled over by rats."
"I don't want the clothes anymore. I want you to give me ten times the compensation."
It's really a huge mouth.
It’s not that Hongxiufang can’t afford to pay the compensation, but it can’t ask for it. Otherwise, if the word gets out and so many people come to ask for compensation, wouldn’t Hongxiufang lose all its capital?
However, the person in front of him was from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion, and he did not want to offend him.
"Madam, please calm down. The store is in a mess right now. I will come to your house in person tomorrow and give you a satisfactory answer."
Yuan Wanru raised her chin, as proud as a swan, and insisted: "Not tomorrow, I want the money now."
"I spent fifty taels of silver yesterday. You should compensate me with five hundred taels and I will return the clothes."
"Our distinguished guest was frightened here. You just need to give me three thousand taels to cover the cost of comfort and medical expenses."
"Give me the money right now, or I will never let you go."
The shopkeeper's face turned green with anger.
The first thing he asked for was three thousand five hundred taels, why didn't she just go and rob it?
The guests had not left yet. They were scared by the rat just now and were in a mess. Now they wanted to hear what would happen next.
In particular, everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Yuan Wanru asking for compensation.
They don't plan to come to Hongxiufang again in the future, but if they can get some money, who wouldn't want it?
"That's right, I have to pay you back. I've bought clothes from Hongxiufang for several years. Maybe rats have crawled over them. I have to pay you back."
"Yes, I have also bought a lot of clothes here. When I think of those dirty rats crawling all over the house, I feel uncomfortable all over. Hongxiufang must pay compensation."
The shopkeeper glared at the person who spoke, and his attitude became tough: "Madam, please don't push me too far. Hongxiufang is the property of the Jiang family. We should be good to each other and not ruin each other's reputation."
Yuan Wanru laughed loudly, pointed at the shopkeeper's nose and cursed: "Who the hell are you? Does the Jiang family belong to you?"
"You're just a small fry in the Jiang family, but you really think you're such a big shot?"
"Even if the master of your Jiang family is here, you have to compensate me today!"
The shopkeeper was a man in his fifties. He had been the boss of Hongxiufang for many years and was used to bullying others. How could he tolerate such ridicule?
I don’t know where this wild woman came from. So what if it’s the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery? Is he really afraid of her?
Their Jiang family is Madam Zhaohua’s uncle’s family.
"Since you are shameless, don't blame Hongxiufang for being rude."
"Someone, kick them out."
Yuan Wanru was waiting for him to say this. When she heard it, she immediately threw a tantrum: "Okay, you are still so arrogant after doing something wrong. I won't leave. I want to see what you dare to do to me."
"Bah, you are a coward who relies on others for power, and you are not worthy of shouting in front of me!"
These words broke the shopkeeper's last bit of rationality.
"Are they all dead? Get them out, get them out now."
Mrs. Xu had been standing at the door. She quietly retreated and ran to the street, shouting, "Hongxiufang is bullying people by taking advantage of its power and beating customers. Who can help report to the police? Someone is going to die."
Hongxiufang was unpopular, and there were too many people around who disliked them. Upon hearing this, several people turned around and ran to the yamen.
Upon hearing the order, the thugs from Hongxiufang immediately stepped forward and tried to pull them apart.
Yuan Wanru went out today and brought three guards with her, including Shi Hai.
"Shi Hai, you must subdue these cowards in one move, otherwise I will look down on you."
Shi Hai really wanted to beg her to stop talking. He could see that this guy was here to cause trouble and was adding fuel to the fire.
He can fight, but the five strong men on the opposite side are big and strong, with solid lower bodies, and it is obvious that they have practiced well. He is not a rich boy, so how can he defeat the enemies with one move?
If she said these words, she would only provoke the enemy's anger.
Sure enough, the cruelty on those people's faces became more and more obvious.
Yuan Wanru spoke again, her eyes full of contempt and disdain: "You are a bunch of cowardly pustules with rat-like faces. I don't believe they really dare to do it. Why don't you kneel down and hand the money to me, and I will probably reward you with a few coins."
Any man with a bit of blood in his veins could not stand her constant ridicule, so the shopkeeper gave the order: "Go ahead."
Shi Hai's face turned dark. The eldest young lady's wife was not usually like this. With her sharp tongue, she killed people without spilling blood today.
"You keep watch."
He left one guard to guard the women, and rushed forward with another guard, fighting with the five men.
The main hall of Hongxiufang is not small, but it is filled with clothes. After the fight broke out, the room suddenly became chaotic.
Yuan Wanru yelled, "Everyone, don't leave. Wait for Hongxiufang to pay you back. If there's any money, we can share it together."
"Ms. Liang from the Duke of Wei's Mansion was changing clothes at Hongxiufang, but she was frightened by a group of rats and fainted. She didn't even have time to put on her coat. Hongxiufang didn't even want to compensate her. What do you think? Isn't this too much?"
"The shopkeeper is bullying me, but I am not afraid of him. I must seek justice for Miss Liang Er."
The shopkeeper looked at her angrily. This woman was a shrew. She was the one who took advantage of her power to bully others. It was obviously her!
She's here to mess things up!
Before they knew it, a circle of people had gathered at the door, and they could hear Yuan Wanru's words clearly.
Cao Lanxin felt a chill. Yuan Wanru was trying to ruin Liang Yusong's reputation. What was that? She was shouting so loudly, was she afraid that others wouldn't hear her?
Liang Yusong finally came to his senses, and walked out with Lamei, but he almost fainted from anger again.
What the hell is Yuan Wanru talking about!
Shi Hai and his men were still fighting when suddenly an agile figure rushed in. With just two moves, the five men fell to the ground.
Liu Yan exclaimed, "It's the eldest master."
Yuan Wanru was a little surprised. Why was he here?
Lu Jiangnian walked towards her. Before she could say anything, Liang Yusong cried and said aggrievedly, "Brother Lu, I..."
Her eyes were tearful, full of hope and sadness, and she looked at him pitifully: "Can you help me, please?"
