Chapter 112: Jiang Family Returns
Madam Jiang instructed the accountant, "Go tell Wen Yan that we don't want this thing anymore. Let her take it back and display it herself."
"Yes." The accountant responded and walked out.
As soon as the strangers left, Madam Jiang poked Miss Jiang San's forehead, expressing her disapproval: "Who is Wen Yan? She is so scheming and her methods are so vicious.
Even your aunt and uncle suffered at her hands and finally had to kowtow and beg her.
How dare you get close to her?
And that Zhu Lele, she's just an idiot who embroiders tribute beads on shoes. You'd be lucky if you didn't end up being dragged to death by her when you play with her."
The accountant hurried to the gate of the mansion and conveyed Mrs. Jiang's intention to Wen Yan.
"I know what Mrs. Jiang means." Wen Yan responded calmly.
He turned around and asked the doorman, "Has Lord Jiang returned home from the court?"
The concierge answered honestly, "Not yet."
Wen Yan smiled and walked out of the Jiang family's gate.
The concierge was terrified.
When Wen Yan asked Lord Jiang, he knew that this matter was not over today.
He worked as a doorman in the Jiang family for more than ten years.
Wen Yan used to often go in and out of the Jiang family, and he had long seen through Wen Yan's temper.
He looks friendly on the surface, but in fact he never suffers any loss.
How could I come back empty-handed this time when I came in person?
In the carriage, Meng Chifei snapped his fingers. "Jiang Xiaosan actually turned against her! I think she wants to hang herself on the tree."
Wen Yan pressed her hand down: "If Madam Jiang doesn't admit it, someone else will naturally admit it."
"You want to see Lord Jiang? He may not be able to agree."
Wen Yan patted the box like a treasure: "This is a gift from the emperor. The Jiang family bought it and then returned it. Do they look down on the Meng family? Or do they look down on the things given by the emperor?"
"In this way, even if we completely break off relations, the Jiang family is your adoptive mother's family after all. Do you really want to do this?"
"When Miss Jiang San came to the store to cause trouble, why didn't she consider that I was a member of the Wen family?"
She doesn't even want the Wen family, so why would she care about the Jiang family?
The two waited in the carriage for half an hour.
Then a green sedan was seen parked in front of the Jiang family's door.
The sedan bearer opened the curtain and Lord Jiang came out.
"Lord Jiang, please stay!" Wen Yan got off the carriage.
Lord Jiang looked back and saw Wen Yan, a flash of disgust passed through his eyes.
Wen Yan didn't want to waste time talking to him, so she bowed to him and completed the formalities before getting straight to the point.
After hearing this, Lord Jiang gave Wen Yan a strange look and said, "Business is based on mutual consent. The payment and goods must be made in full. Now that I haven't paid and the goods haven't been delivered, are you trying to force the sale?"
"Master Jiang wants to return the goods?" Wen Yan's face showed exaggerated surprise, as if to say: Do you think your life is too long? How dare you return the goods!
But she immediately put away her unnecessary expression: "Master Jiang, have you really thought it over? Are you sure you want to return the goods?"
"Do you still want to beat someone up?" Lord Jiang took a few steps back, wary of Meng Chifei.
He knows it.
Meng Chifei likes to beat people.
"You are an official appointed by the imperial court. How dare we take action against you!" Wen Yan smiled. "In that case, let's just pretend I haven't been here today."
After saying that, Wen Yan pulled Meng Chifei towards the carriage.
Lord Jiang looked at Wen Yan's back, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.
The humble peasant girl who was rebellious and relied on the power of the general's mansion to bully his sister and even wanted to cheat the Jiang family of their money.
Does she really think that everyone is a fool and she is the only smart one?
He snorted softly and turned to go back home.
Wen Yan's voice came again: "Master Jiang, I won't stop you from returning the goods, but there are some things I still need to make clear.
Miss Jiang San came to Yidianmo today and decided on this green jade bottle in front of everyone.
She returns the bottle today, and I'll still be selling it on the shelf tomorrow."
After saying that, Wen Yan didn't stay for a moment, got on the carriage and left.
Looking at the carriage going away, Lord Jiang always felt that something was wrong.
He has heard the name 'Yidian Mo' every day recently.
That was the shop opened by the Meng family to raise funds for disaster relief.
It is said that Meng Chifei was so bold that he actually sold the things given by the emperor.
Lord Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and to be on the safe side, he immediately sent someone out to inquire.
What did the third young lady do at Yi Dian Mo today?
Wen Yan and his companions took a carriage all the way to the Zhu family.
She just stated the purpose of her trip.
Madam Zhu's housekeeper came out in person.
She handed the 15,000 taels of silver to Meng Chifei, saying politely, "Thank you for delivering it personally."
He politely sent the two away.
He was polite and courteous throughout the whole process, as if this was just a normal transaction and no conflict had occurred in the shop during the day!
In the carriage, Wen Yan and Meng Chifei looked at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"The Zhu family is smart. They gave up the money to preserve their reputation."
"After all, I was reprimanded in the palace just half a month ago because of the pearl shoes incident. I dare not commit a crime against my will now."
Wen Yan thought that Zhu Lele had learned a lesson from his mistakes.
In fact, Mrs. Zhu was afraid that her daughter would cause trouble outside, so she asked Zhu Lele's personal maid to keep an eye on her all the time.
If anything happens, report it to her immediately.
so.
As soon as Zhu Lele got into trouble today, Mrs. Zhu got the news.
Mrs. Zhu was almost fainted from anger at her stupid daughter.
But she also knew that money was small and reputation was big.
The Zhu family dared to return the imperial gift. Doesn’t it mean they don’t want to stay in officialdom anymore?
Moreover, she spent a high price to buy the Yingluo necklace as a gesture of goodwill to the emperor.
However, even though Zhu Lele did the right thing by mistake, Mrs. Zhu still called her over and scolded her.
Zhu Lele was still unconvinced and said with his neck stiff, "Why did those two bitches get away with it?"
Mrs. Zhu was furious and slapped her daughter on the shoulder: "If you hadn't been so foolish as to approach them yourself, would they have taken advantage of you for even half a copper coin?"
"And that Wen Ruyue, she's trying to sow discord and is using you as a pawn. Don't have any more contact with her in the future.
You're so stupid, I'm afraid you'll be sold by her and help count the money!"
Zhu Lele was so angry that she cried after being scolded like this by her own mother.
Wen Yan and his companions' carriage had not left Zhu Mansion far when it was caught up by another carriage.
"Miss Wen, please stay. My master wants to discuss something with you." A servant called out from outside the carriage.
Wen Yan's carriage stopped.
She opened the carriage curtain and pretended to be stupid: "You are a servant of the Jiang family. Lord Jiang is looking for me. I don't know why."
Lord Jiang also lifted the curtain and spoke to Wen Yan across the carriage: "I want to buy that jade bottle."
"Didn't Lord Jiang just say he wanted to return the goods? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Lord Jiang wiped the sweat from his forehead. Of course, he didn't dare to say it because the "Green Jade Bottle" was a gift from the emperor.
If I return the goods, I would be slapping the emperor in the face.
He made up an excuse to get away with it.
Wen Yan sneered in her heart when she saw him sweating profusely.
It really won't move forward even if you pull it, and it even moves backwards when you hit it.
This is also the reason why Wen Yan did not tell him before that the 'Green Jade Bottle' was a gift from the emperor.
