Xie Wanyun found herself suddenly a celebrity in Shangjing City! Her heroic act of tearing apart the bully with her bare hands had spread throughout Shangjing City.
When her carriage drove along the street, people would gather to watch, causing it to move very slowly. Her shop door was also crowded with people, both men and women.
Everyone wanted to witness the heroic heroine and buy something along the way. The Xie family shop's popularity skyrocketed, quickly becoming the busiest and most famous shop in Shangjing City.
By the way, it was discovered that Xie Wanyun was actually the orphan left behind by the Duke of Zhenguo. She was truly the daughter of a general and lived up to the Duke of Zhenguo's heroic reputation. As a result, the Duke of Zhenguo's heroic deeds were brought out and spread again.
The Xie family's shops, especially Yunjianfang, were nearly overwhelmed by the stream of people who came here to buy their products! The nobles and ladies were proud to own a piece of clothing made in Yunjianfang.
Especially this batch of lost and recovered silk was given special significance and became a hot commodity all of a sudden. The price increased several times, but people still flocked to buy it.
The masters and embroiderers of Yunjianfang worked day and night, but they could not meet the strong demand from the people.
The merchants who had been extorted by Zheng Tong admired Xie Wanyun even more. Xie Wanyun did what they dared not do and could not do.
I wish I could go to your house and express my gratitude with drums and gongs.
Xie Wanyun didn't care at all and just said that he did what he should do.
I heard that Zheng Tong had been hiding at home for ten days, not daring to go out. It wasn't to recover from his injuries, which had long since healed, but mainly because he was too embarrassed to see anyone.
He was humiliated in public by a woman to such an extent, and yet he admitted his mistake. The reputation he had accumulated over the years was destroyed in an instant.
At a gathering of noble ladies that day, the matter naturally came up again, but everyone had different opinions.
One lady said, "Madam Xie's actions are truly reckless. After all, for a woman from the inner chamber to be out in the open doing business is already too ostentatious, and she even brandished a sword. It's really outrageous."
Several others echoed and shook their heads, saying that Xie Wanyun's behavior was inappropriate.
A young lady disagreed and said, "What's wrong with doing business? As a woman, you can only hide in the boudoir, which is so depressing. Seeing Madam Xie like this, I want to open a few shops and try."
"Yes, I think it's a good idea for Mrs. Xie." Someone else agreed.
The young woman was encouraged by her support and said, "Mrs. Xie's move is also a testament to us women. Let's see who dares to say women are useless in the future."
A middle-aged noblewoman said, "Madam Xie is also good at martial arts. I heard that she kicked Zheng Tong down with one kick, and then the sword tip cut more than ten cuts on his body. The blood flowed..."
"That's right. Zheng Tong screamed in pain at that time, and, and..." The woman who spoke suddenly covered her mouth and kept silent, just laughing.
"What else? Madam Liu, please tell me." The others kept urging.
"It's really hard to explain." Mrs. Liu looked embarrassed.
"Alas, you've always been straightforward, why are you hesitant now? We're all women from the inner house, what's there to be ashamed of?"
"Yes, yes, don't keep me in suspense. If you have any inside information, tell me now!"
Everyone's curiosity was piqued, and they kept urging her. The women in these deep houses were already lonely, and now that they had finally got some gossip, they were unwilling to let it go, and they were all eager to urge her.
"Yes, that's right. Now, let me tell you." Madam Liu suddenly blushed. "My husband was there at the time. He said Zheng Tong was struck by several swords, but he still refused to agree. Then Madam Xie pointed her sword at him... He was so scared that he screamed and admitted his mistake on the spot, and immediately agreed."
The girls were stunned for a moment, and when they realized what was happening, they all burst out laughing.
"Oh my, Madam Xie is so awesome!"
"It's ridiculous. It's killing me."
"Ah? What kind of place is this that could scare him like this?" a young woman asked in confusion.
When the other ladies heard this, they laughed so hard that they fell down. The young woman finally came to her senses and walked away with a red face.
Gan Min was also at the gathering, smiling and watching the fun throughout without saying much. Judging by everyone's reactions, most of them were positive and approving of Xie Wanyun's actions. She felt a surge of admiration for Xie Wanyun.
No wonder that man has been so infatuated with her all these years.
