Chapter 154 You Bastard
"You two pig-brained guys, you still dare to ask me what happened?! Can't you figure it out yourself?!"
The Wang brothers rose from the ground, howling in pain. Boss Wang seemed to have guessed something: "Is Uncle referring to the time we smashed the shop?"
Seeing the city lord's face suddenly darken, Boss Wang was so scared that he immediately knelt down.
"Uncle! There's a reason for this. They've brought in a lot of precious medicinal herbs from somewhere and are selling them at very low prices. Since they opened their shop, our shop has been deserted. So...so, in desperation, my second brother suggested destroying the shop."
Wang Laoer wanted to agree, but when he heard what was said, he felt that something was wrong.
I turned around and asked him, "I wasn't the only one who suggested smashing the store. Didn't you agree to it? I originally saw that those good-for-nothings you hired couldn't even handle a simple task, so I changed my approach and tried a different method. Why do you make it sound like it was all my fault?"
"Second brother, I didn't mean that. It's just that you were determined to destroy the store, weren't you?"
"You bastard! Now that my uncle is here, you're putting all the blame on me? I..."
"Shut up, everyone!!"
City Lord Wang was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring. The wound on his face was caused by the prince's fist.
Just thinking about it makes me angry.
Especially this Wang Lao Er: "How dare you show off your power! I think you are tired of living, and you dare to tease the princess!"
"Princess...Princess? Uncle, please be kind. Even if you gave me a hundred times the courage, I wouldn't dare to tease the princess!"
"Are you still quibbling with me?" He was so angry that he swung his fist and beat up Wang Laoer. Wang Laoer didn't dare to fight back. He could only cry out in pain and beg his uncle to stop.
After letting out a long sigh, the city lord began to curse: "Tomorrow morning, you will all go to that herbal medicine shop with gifts and apologize! You must ask for their forgiveness. If they can't forgive you, don't come back and die outside!"
When the two brothers heard this, their faces changed drastically!
"Uncle, what did you say? We should go and apologize to those people?!"
"Idiot! Don't you know what happened? The princess was there when you smashed the shop! Now the matter has reached the prince, and my reputation has been damaged because of you! If this matter is not resolved, how can I keep my official hat?"
"If I lose my job, you won't even know how you died!"
After these words were spoken, the two brothers finally reacted. Their faces turned pale and they were filled with regret.
But for the sake of each other's bright future, they had no other choice. Their uncle had spoken, and the prince had also learned about it, so they had to do as their uncle said.
So they arrived at Renjitang as soon as the market opened the next day.
When I saw that the inside was still a mess, I was stunned for a moment.
I thought to myself that those people didn't even bother to clean up, they were really patient!
The two of them carried large and small bags and found Manager Gu to formally apologize.
"Manager Gu, there was quite a misunderstanding yesterday. My two brothers believed the slander and thought that the herbs you were selling were fake. That's why we are so anxious and want to drive you out of the city."
"But we've now verified that you're innocent. It was our misunderstanding that caused your losses. Don't worry, we will compensate you for all the items in the store."
Manager Gu didn't expect it to be so meticulous. Yesterday they only heard Madam Ruan say that they should come to the shop early today and wait, but they didn't have to do anything.
Could it be that Madam Ruan knew from the beginning that Mr. Wang would come to apologize?
At this moment, the voice of my aunt came from behind: "Hey, isn't this the old and ugly Mr. Wang? You think we haven't smashed our shop enough? You want to smash it again?"
Although Wang Laoer was furious, he forced a smile on his face.
"Madam, yesterday's incident was caused by a misunderstanding between us two brothers, which led to our impulsive behavior. We are here today to apologize, and we hope that Madam will not hold it against me."
"How could I not hold it against you? Yesterday you smashed our shop, beat up our people, and even cursed at me? Just for this little gift from you, should I forgive you? Pah!"
The aunt raised her chin, took Ruan Mian's arm and walked into the shop.
Wang Lao Er smiled wryly, "Of course... there's more than just these things. If the shop is smashed, we can compensate you according to the price. We will also compensate your injured servants with money. We will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"Oh? What about my mental damage? You called me old and ugly, but I didn't sleep the whole night last night!!"
It was the first time that Wang Laoer heard of the existence of mental loss.
But it was obvious that the woman was trying to make things difficult for him. Just as he was about to speak, his aunt crossed her arms and gestured to the outside of the door.
"I won't waste my time arguing with you anymore, Mr. Wang. If you can kneel outside my shop for a cup of tea today, I will forgive you. Otherwise, go ahead and smash my shop. I don't want it anymore!"
"But! I'm going to fight you to the end. You have your uncle's support, and we naturally have someone to back us up too!"
They remembered what their uncle said, that Princess Mantu was their support at the moment.
Ruan Mian watched quietly on the side. She had made her aunt feel upset all night yesterday, so today she let her do whatever she wanted.
However, how could they accept kneeling outside and being looked down upon?
"Madam, please forgive others when you can. Why do you have to go to such lengths?"
Before they could finish, the eldest aunt suddenly slammed the table and stood up: "Kneel! I will forgive you! If you don't kneel! Then get out of here!"
These majestic words carried a lot of weight. Under the heavy pressure from their uncle, the two brothers glared at each other. Even though they could no longer bear it, they could only hold back their anger.
If they don’t kneel and get forgiveness, both their uncle and they will suffer!
At this point, that little bit of face is no longer that important.
He could only grit his teeth, walk to the threshold, and kneel down, but he wanted to lower his head to the ground.
Those who were passing by started to watch the fun and came over, asking curiously.
"Hey, why is Mr. Wang kneeling down?"
"Needless to say, he wronged the shop owner, and I heard the prince intervened!"
"The prince has come forward! Oh my god, that Renjitang is not as bad as Mr. Wang said. The medicinal herbs they sell are definitely real! But Mr. Wang is selling them at such a high price and still trying to hinder others."
"Everyone! I've asked my husband, and he says that the Wang family's shop has really inflated prices and made a lot of money. They're cheating us ordinary people out of our money!"
"This Renjitang was clearly good for us, but he destroyed it and made it into nothing. He's totally heartless!"
After these words were spoken, some indignant people could no longer bear it. Thinking about the fact that they had not received medicinal food for the past few days because of him, they picked up stones on the ground and threw them at him in anger.
