"Yuzhui, bring the bill over." Xie Wanyun ordered.
"Huh?" Qin Su'an hadn't reacted yet. What bill? He saw a document in front of him, which clearly listed the goods he had taken away. Nothing was missing.
The value, how much it is converted into silver, and the interest are all listed one by one.
"Uncle Qin, please sign and seal. Otherwise, I will take this list to the Shangjing government office to file a complaint. Merchants are profit-driven, and I don't care about the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion." Xie Wanyun said slowly.
Qin Su'an nearly fainted. But he also knew that Xie Wanyun would keep his word. If that were to happen, wouldn't their family become the laughing stock of the entire capital?
In desperation, I had to pinch my nose and sign, and then put my fingerprints on it.
With a look of resentment, he said, "Xie Wanyun, you are so cruel."
Xie Wanyun acted calm and composed as he instructed Yuzhui to put the documents away. Without even raising his eyelids, he said, "Goodbye."
Qin Su'an's eyes were about to burst. He wanted to argue with her, but the pain in his broken leg was too severe, so he could only limp away.
After he walked away, Yu Zhui couldn't help but ask Xie Wanyun, "Madam, are you really ignoring me? I think I came here a few times with the intention of making peace. Are you really married?"
Seeing the girl's curious expression, Xie Wanyun asked, "Do you think I should treat Qin Su'an with respect?"
Yuzhui smiled sheepishly and said, "I just feel that since Madam has already married into the Marquis's Mansion, life must go on. It's not right to keep being so awkward."
Xie Wanyun said helplessly: "I feel sick when I see him. How can I live with him?"
"Huh?" Yuzhui was also stunned. It turned out that the Madam had already disliked Qin Su'an to this extent. Before, she had thought that the Madam was just dissatisfied with him, venting her anger, and then it would be over after a quarrel.
Unexpectedly, the lady didn't want to be involved with him at all.
But Yuzhui changed his mind and felt relieved. His wife was not an ordinary person, and she could not be treated as an ordinary girl.
If there is no man, then there is no man. It’s no big deal. Madam has so many banks and shops, what is there to be afraid of?
Early that morning, Manager Wang from Yunjianfang came to ask for a meeting.
Xie Wanyun was a little surprised. The shopkeepers usually waited for her to make her rounds to report on all matters. If there was anything important, they would send someone to deliver a letter and rarely came to the mansion.
At this time, Manager Wang came over early in the morning. Could something important have happened? He did not dare to delay and immediately invited him in to answer the question.
Shopkeeper Wang recounted the whole story.
It turned out that Yunjianfang had ordered a batch of silk to be used by the noble ladies in the capital to make spring clothes in the spring. The silk was of high quality and very expensive.
When Wang, the shopkeeper, went to collect the goods with his staff, he found out that the goods had been seized by Zheng Tong, the young master of the Jingguo Mansion. Wang had no choice but to ask for an audience with Zheng Tong, but was humiliated by the servants of the Jingguo Mansion, who said that he, a servant, was not worthy of seeing the young master.
Shopkeeper Wang had no choice but to come to find Xie Wanyun.
Xie Wanyun also found the situation difficult to handle. She knew Zheng Tong, the only son of Duke Jingguo. Duke Jingguo and his wife were both protective of their son, spoiling him to the point of lawlessness.
Although I had never dealt with him in my previous life, I knew he was a typical second-generation rich kid, a playboy. He was also known to bully others and plunder others through trickery. He was greedy and mean, a ruthless character who would take advantage of others and suffer from the consequences.
He repeatedly intercepted merchants' goods and demanded protection fees under various pretexts. Unable to afford the wrath, the merchants had no choice but to accept the situation and pay him a fee to avoid further trouble. Some, unable to accept the humiliation, simply gave up their goods and gave them to him.
Some people also filed complaints with the government, but Duke Jingguo was so powerful that nothing was done. Instead, he became even more ruthless, bankrupting the merchants who had filed complaints against him. From then on, no one dared to defy him.
Now Zheng Tong has set his sights on her, and there is no way to hide from him. She doesn't want to swallow her anger in silence.
After thinking for a moment, he ordered Yuzhui, "Bring me my sword."
"Madam, what are you doing..." Yuzhui was a little scared, but still obediently took out the sword and presented it with both hands.
Xie Wanyun wiped the shiny sword lovingly, and then made a sword flower with a "swish".
His eyes were gleaming, his voice calm and composed. "The wolf has set its sights on me. There's no hiding from it. I might as well give it a try."
