Wei's sweat-soaked underwear stuck to her vest, feeling cold and extremely uncomfortable. She couldn't help scratching her neck and was almost suffocating.
Wei Mingyue was also a little panicked and kept calling out, "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
Wei thought to herself, I feel uncomfortable everywhere, and it's all because of you, this treacherous girl. You are so ungrateful and you are deliberately trying to trick your aunt!
The shop was surrounded by shop assistants and customers, each one a mix of curiosity and excitement, whispering and discussing. After all, it wasn't often that a noblewoman fainted in public. They heard this was the eldest wife of the Marquis of Yuanxing! And she was the mother-in-law of the shop owner's wife. This was a big deal! It was enough to keep everyone entertained for a while.
Xie Wanyun said apologetically, "Ma'am, I'm so sorry. It's my fault for not thinking things through. When that batch of goods arrived, I put them in the restaurant's storage room. Because it was cold, I didn't put them in the ice cellar. I figured I'd deal with them after I was done with my work these past few days, but I forgot. And as luck would have it, the weather suddenly got warmer, and most of the cheese has gone bad."
Wei's throat gurgled, and after a long pause she managed to utter a sound. "How could you do this... That was worth thousands of taels of silver, how could you forget..."
Yuzhui replied indifferently, "Our wife handles business worth tens of thousands of taels of silver every day, and she's so busy she can't keep up. It's no surprise she forgot."
"Jade pendant, stop talking." Xie Wanyun turned around and glared at the jade pendant, then said to Wei in a gentle tone, "It was indeed my negligence this time, and I also suffered losses. How about this, there are still some that are not broken, and I don't want them anymore. Put them all back for Madam. You can use them yourself or sell them. It will at least make up for the loss."
"You...Xie Wanyun..." Wei's heart felt cold, and her sweat-soaked vest was also cold. She couldn't catch her breath and fainted.
"Aunt!" Wei Mingyue's face turned pale. She shouted loudly while shaking Wei.
"Hurry up and drive my carriage over here to take the Madam back to the Marquis' Mansion." Xie Wanyun ordered slowly.
"oh!"
"ah!"
"Wow!"
The onlookers burst into exclamations.
Wei was finally sent away, and the crowd dispersed without excitement. Yuzhui looked incredulous, and after trying to contain herself for a long time, she couldn't help but ask Xie Wanyun, "Madam, what's going on? Why don't I understand?"
Xie Wanyun curled the corners of his lips. "It's getting hot, and the cheese is going to go bad anyway."
"Ah?" Yuzhui felt even more dizzy. She thought about it and realized that the weather was still very cold when the lady purchased the goods.
"Then why don't you keep it safe?"
"Why should I keep it well? If it breaks, it breaks. I didn't spend a penny on it." Xie Wanyun raised the corners of his lips and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"I saved some of the spoiled cheese to make some skin care oil, and gave the rest to the palace greenhouse as fertilizer. I also received a favor."
"But how do you know the weather will get hot?" Yuzhui felt more and more dizzy as he spoke.
"Because I can tell fortunes!" Xie Wanyun couldn't help laughing when he saw Yu Zhui's confusing look.
According to her memory from her previous life, there would be a burst of extremely hot weather in early spring. She had already calculated the time and made some adjustments to the purchase documents. Without spending a penny, she was able to lure the two old ladies in.
Can you blame her? You can only blame the two old ladies for being greedy and stupid.
With a simple trick, he made them give up all the dividends they had received. The money was only temporarily kept by them.
