"And, Madam, the Marquis also took several paintings. He said you agreed to it, so how could I doubt it?" Shopkeeper Yang confessed everything. He later learned that Qin Su'an had kept it a secret from Xie Wanyun. He had hoped Xie Wanyun rarely came to the shop and rarely asked about it.
But Xie Wanyun came for a surprise inspection.
Xie Wanyun wasn't particularly surprised after hearing this, but the Qin family's greed once again refreshed her perception.
She was completely disgusted by their shamelessness.
Seeing her silent and pondering, Shopkeeper Yang felt even more anxious. He wondered what the lady would do to him.
Xie Wanyun stood up and said in a cold voice, "Shopkeeper Yang, I've already told you all to recognize who the boss is. Shopkeeper Yang obviously didn't understand. In that case, there's no need for you to stay in Shunyizhai. Pay the commission today and find another job."
"Madam! I really know I'm wrong! Please forgive me, Madam!" Shopkeeper Yang was completely dumbfounded! He thought Madam would just scold him a few times and fine him a few taels of silver at most, but he didn't expect to be kicked out directly!
"I've been at Shunyizhai for many years and have never made a mistake. Madam, please forgive me for my diligence!" He didn't want to be fired. Although Xie Wanyun's management was strict, the treatment was excellent. Not only was wages never delayed, but there were also various bonuses at the end of the year. Who would be willing to leave such a good place?
Seeing that Xie Wanyun still ignored him, he frantically knelt on the ground and begged desperately.
Xie Wanyun's stern expression finally relaxed. He said calmly, "Get up. This won't happen again."
"Yes, yes, thank you, ma'am. I won't dare to do it again." Shopkeeper Yang stood up trembling. Even in the cold winter weather, his heavy clothes were soaked with sweat.
"Did they take anything else?" Xie Wanyun asked.
"These are the items in Shunyizhai, but I heard there are two more shops, and Madam Qin and the Marquis also took some things." Shopkeeper Yang replied carefully.
Anger welled up in Xie Wanyun's eyes. These Qin family vampires! How long was she going to tolerate them?!
After leaving Shunyizhai, Xie Wanyun inspected two other shops and counted the goods taken by the Qin family. There were valuable furs, tonics, and fashionable rouge and powder.
She taught several shopkeepers a lesson without any hesitation and declared that if there was a next time, she would not let them off easily!
Everyone nodded in agreement. They finally understood who was the head of the mansion and who they, the workers, should recognize as their master!
After Xie Wanyun finished his work, he returned to the Yuanxing Marquisate without delay and went straight to Madam Qin's courtyard.
When the servants guarding the door saw the mistress of the house rushing in angrily, they all rushed in to report.
When Old Lady Qin heard that Xie Wanyun was coming, she felt a little flustered, but she had seen storms before, so she immediately calmed herself down and walked out with a calm look.
Xie Wanyun stood in front of the hall. The door was open. She was tall, her robe fluttering.
Her black robe made her face appear as white as snow, and she seemed to be enveloped in a layer of coldness. Her cold eyes swept over them, and no one dared to look at her, and they all lowered their heads.
Old Madam Qin was also a little nervous, but she put on a kind smile and said warmly, "It's Wanyun! You haven't been here for a while, and you've become a rare guest here. Come on, sit down, and let's have a good chat."
While instructing the maid to make tea quickly!
He said apologetically, "Wanyun, I'm old, and I have trouble falling asleep after drinking tea. Therefore, tea leaves are not very good. Please don't despise me, just drink some."
Xie Wanyun was also a little surprised. Why hadn't she noticed before that everyone in the Qin family was such a good actor? From Liu Yun'er, to Wei, to Old Madam Qin, each one was better than the last, with profound skills. It would be a shame not to join the troupe and perform on stage!
