Chapter 394: Apology
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu went to Zuixianlou to book a banquet, and the goods from the shop were almost ordered.
During the meal, Li Le told the truth, and these people enjoyed the meal and expressed their understanding.
After all, with such a large order volume, no matter how big the shop is, it needs to be prepared.
Li Le took advantage of the fact that everyone was still drunk to settle the matter and told them the time to pick up the goods again.
After confirming that everything was correct, they started to persuade people to drink.
Zhang Juexia was really not interested in this kind of occasion. After finding an excuse, he fled the scene.
As soon as she got home, Yang Zhi came to report, "Madam, Xu Yanchen is here!"
Zhang Juexia felt sick when she heard the man's name. She frowned and said, "I don't want to see this person. Just tell them I'm not here."
Yang Zhi hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "Madam, the head of the Xu family came with him and said he came to apologize to you.
They've come twice already, and this time they should have found out exactly when you'd be back, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence."
"Head of the Xu family?"
"It's Xu Yanchen's grandfather, Xu Changfeng. Madam, would you like to meet him? If not, I'll find a reason to let them go."
Zhang Juexia thought about it. After all, the Xu family was a wealthy and powerful family in Shunhe County. If he offended them just because of such a small matter, it would be a loss.
"Forget it, just bring them to the living room!"
Zhang Juexia walked into the living room slowly. With her previous experiences with Xu Yanchen, she didn't dare let Yang Zhi leave and asked him to stand behind her.
Xu Changfeng shouted as he entered the room, "Get down on your knees, you evil creature!"
Xu Yanchen slumped to his knees, "Mrs. Ye, I was blind and offended you. Please forgive me!"
Zhang Juexia was so frightened by the grandfather and grandson that she stumbled back. After all, Xu Changfeng was old, so she had to bite the bullet and kneel down to greet him, "Hello, Old Master Xu!"
Xu Changfeng nodded in return, then pointed at Xu Yanchen, who was kneeling on the ground, and said angrily, "This evil creature has been spoiled by us. He has offended Madam Ye many times. It really shows that I am a poor parent!
I hope Madam Ye will spare this evil creature for my sake!"
After Xu Changfeng finished speaking, his attendants placed the gifts they had brought on the table. "This is a small gift from me. I hope Madam Ye will accept it."
The Xu family's sudden humble attitude made Zhang Juexia suspicious about what went wrong.
Or perhaps the magistrate had a change of heart and held the Xu family accountable.
However, judging from the situation, it doesn't seem like it.
She glanced at Xu Yanchen who was kneeling on the ground, and when she looked up she met Xu Changfeng who was looking expectantly in his eyes.
"Mr. Xu, you are so polite. Please take a seat!"
After Xu Changfeng sat down, he said, "Thank you, Mrs. Ye!"
After Xu Changfeng sat down, Zhang Juexia pointed at Xu Yanchen and said, "Grandpa Xu, the magistrate has already punished your grandson and me for what happened before. Please don't worry about it anymore."
"Ah, after all, Mrs. Ye is so magnanimous!"
Then, he glared at Xu Yanchen, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you kowtow to Mrs. Ye and thank her!"
Zhang Juexia hurriedly stopped him, "Grandpa Xu, there's no need for that. It's absolutely not necessary. Please let your grandson stand up and speak!"
"Since Mrs. Ye has forgiven you, then stand up and speak!"
Xu Yanchen stood behind Xu Changfeng with his head lowered and his previous arrogance gone.
Seeing Zhang Juexia being so easy to talk to, Xu Changfeng knew that it was his face that worked, so he immediately said, "From now on, Madam Ye, no matter what difficulties you encounter in Shunhe County, you can come to me for help.
I'm old enough to say otherwise, but I do have some connections within the Xu family in Shunhe County."
Zhang Juexia is not stupid. How much of what Xu Changfeng said is true? It is just some polite words.
Besides, she had lived in Shunhe County for a few months, so she knew every family's reputation very well.
However, she still expressed her gratitude to Xu Changfeng.
Seeing that the atmosphere had almost built up, Xu Changfeng finally explained the reason for his humble attitude. "Mrs. Ye, may I ask if it was Old Madam Shen who Chen'er offended in the theater that day?"
There was no need to hide such a thing. Old Madam Shen did go to see a play that day.
She nodded.
Xu Changfeng became nervous. "I wonder if you have told Old Madam Shen about my disappointing grandson?"
Zhang Juexia frowned and said, "This old man is really shameless. Why should I tell you what I said to Madam Shen?"
"Mr. Xu and Mrs. Shen like to watch plays, and we have been talking about plays all the time.
We paid no attention to the other idle personnel.”
Xu Changfeng felt relieved after receiving Zhang Juexia's words. He stood up and was about to say goodbye, "Mrs. Ye, you are so generous. If you need my Xu family in the future, just ask directly.
Chen'er, I have already taught him a lesson. I am afraid he won't have the courage to cause trouble in Shunhe County again.
If Mrs. Ye meets Old Madam Shen, please speak a few good words for our Xu family in front of her."
Zhang Juexia just laughed and ignored Xu Changfeng's words.
Xu Changfeng hit a snag, curled his lips slightly, and took Xu Yanchen into the carriage.
As Xu Yanchen sat in the carriage, he asked aggrievedly, "Master, why are you so polite to a village woman?"
Xu Changfeng glared at him and said, "You still haven't made any progress. It's a waste of time for me to take you on this trip.
Zhang Juexia's current status is higher than our family's?"
"Why?"
"We are just ordinary merchants, but Zhang Juexia's husband is a newly admitted martial arts scholar this year."
"Humph, a mere martial arts scholar, what's so great about that!"
"That's wrong. Scholar Wu is also a scholar, and Chen'er shouldn't be rude.
Another point is that the Shen family is behind her.
I really misjudged her. At first I thought she was just a village woman, which is why I asked you to ask her for the canned food recipe.
Who would have thought that she would have such a good relationship with Old Madam Shen! "
"Master, how have you changed? What's so great about the Shen family?
You're so timid, it's not like you at all."
Seeing Xu Yanchen like this, Xu Changfeng knew that some things would not make sense to him no matter how much he talked to him.
He frowned and said seriously, "Xu Yanchen, as long as you are a descendant of the Xu family, remember my words.
Zhang Juexia should not provoke her again in the future.
You must be respectful to her when you meet her next time. Do you understand?
Also, don't cause trouble outside anymore.
If you do that again, I'll break your legs."
Xu Yanchen was frightened by Xu Changfeng's serious look. He shuddered involuntarily and nodded repeatedly.
