The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, repeatedly bending over to apologize: "Madam Xie, it's my fault for not disciplining my subordinates properly. I will ask the boss to ensure that you do not suffer any loss. What do you think?"
The shopkeeper felt bitter. Judging from Jiang Yuzhu's attitude today, she knew she was not someone who could be easily dismissed.
"The craftsman fell ill, and the jewelry drawings were lost. It's really a coincidence that the two happened together."
Jiang Yuzhu's words were tinged with joking, and her face was cold as she said, "Shopkeeper, I entrusted you with such an important jewelry plan. Now that there's a mistake, if I don't blame you, then do I blame myself for mistrusting you?"
Hongli lost his temper and said angrily, "How dare you call yourself the best in the capital? What a joke!"
In the capital, good jewelry is all made by skilled craftsmen, and the fastest waiting time is more than a month.
Shen Zhilan is getting married tomorrow, and the make-up that Jiang Yuzhu spent so much effort to customize is gone. Even if she spends a lot of money to find it now, it will not be as meaningful as designing one herself.
Moreover, the shopkeeper lied openly and gave the finished jewelry to others without permission.
Jiang Yuzhu must get an explanation for this matter and will not let it go.
The shopkeeper, with a mournful face, fell to his knees and begged, "Thank you, Madam. It's all my fault for not disciplining my clerk. If you have any conditions, just tell me."
Jiang Yuzhu's eyes narrowed, and her aura suddenly increased: "Why, is this lady short of money?"
No amount of money can buy what she wants, and now Jiang Yuzhu is unhappy. She is not someone who can be sent away by giving some compensation.
She wants the silver, and the set of headgear including the jewelry, nothing can be missing!
The air pressure in the private room is very low.
The shopkeeper winked at the waiter, and a moment later the waiter brought a tray with both hands and whispered a few words to the shopkeeper.
After receiving the confirmation, the shopkeeper stood up and said, "Here is the silver for your custom jewelry. The extra five hundred taels is compensation."
"What if this lady doesn't want to?"
Jiang Yuzhu leaned back in her chair, her eyes slightly closed, her voice still flat.
The shopkeeper was well prepared, and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. You can report it to the police."
Even if we report it to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, what can we do?
As long as our side admits the mistake and offers compensation, Jiang Yuzhu will not give in and will only get a reputation for being unreasonable.
Jiang Yuzhu raised her eyes to glance at the shopkeeper, pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, have you thought about it?"
"Mrs. Xie, not finishing the shop on time is a mistake, but not a crime. You're being too unreasonable!"
The shopkeeper showed a hint of suppressed anger and made up his mind.
Half an hour ago, Miss Xuan brought her maid to the shop and happened to like that set of headgear.
The shop owner opened a shop on the main street of the capital and was well-informed. The Empress Dowager brought her niece from Jiangnan, and her intention was obvious.
Between offending the Xuan family and the Jiang family, the shopkeeper chose to offend Jiang Yuzhu without much hesitation.
"How dare you fabricate that my wife is forcing herself on others? This is simply a distortion of right and wrong, and it's pure nonsense!"
Hongli was so angry that he rushed forward and grabbed the shopkeeper's ear.
The shopkeeper struggled to break free, screaming in pain.
A burst of sweet laughter came from outside the private room.
Xuan Yao and her maids leaned against the door, covering their mouths with handkerchiefs, their eyes full of disgust. "I was wondering who was so arrogant. It turns out to be the famous Madam Xie!"
Jiang Yuzhu was slightly stunned and pointed at Xuan Yao and asked, "Are you the girl from Deyue Tower?"
As she expected, the shopkeeper suddenly became tough because he had Xuan Yao as his backer.
It seems that the set of headgear must have fallen into Xuan Yao's hands.
When Xuan Yao first arrived in the capital, she frowned and asked, "Where is Deyue Tower?"
The shopkeeper took a step back and hid in the corner, reminding himself that Jiang Yuzhu must not know Miss Xuan's identity, so she dared to be so presumptuous.
Hongli laughed out loud when he heard this: "Madam, you are really a forgetful person. The name of Deyue Tower in the capital has been changed to Hualiu Courtyard."
After the name change, the grade of the place dropped significantly. I heard that those scholars who like elegant things rarely patronize it anymore.
The top girl in Deyue Tower sells her body in brothels every night to attract patrons.
After hearing the waiter's explanation, Xuan Yao's eyes burned with anger: "Jiang Yuzhu, you are so bold that you actually compared me to Hua Niang?"
The shopkeeper chimed in, taking advantage of the situation and saying, "Madam Xie, this person is someone we cannot afford to offend. She's Miss Xuan."
In the capital, everyone in the upper class knows about the Xuan family.
The shopkeeper waited for Jiang Yuzhu to retreat, but she unexpectedly took out a small bronze mirror from her sleeve pocket and applied rouge, saying nonchalantly, "I was mistaken. The girl from Deyue Tower is a bit more beautiful than Miss Xuan."
Xuan Yao clenched her fist, veins bulging on the back of her hand, and said with red eyes: "Jiang Yuzhu, how dare you!"
"Don't you dare? Didn't you hear it?"
Jiang Yuzhu stood up, walked in front of Xuan Yao, raised her hand and slapped Xuan Yao.
There was a "pop" sound, and everyone in the private room was stunned.
Especially for the shopkeeper, this was different from what he thought.
No wonder people say that the Jiang family is not to be offended. He even dares to hit the Queen Mother's niece. It's really scary when he goes crazy!
Xuan Yao covered her face and screamed, "Jiang Yuzhu, I'm going to kill you!"
Ever since she was beaten by Wei Jing's maid at the Hundred Flowers Festival, Xuan Yao has been carrying a dagger with her. If anyone disrespects her, for the sake of the Xuan family's reputation, she will never give the other person a chance to live.
Seeing this, the maidservant hurriedly stopped her and said, "Miss, don't be impulsive!"
The draft is imminent, and there can't be any trouble at this critical juncture.
In particular, Jiang Yuzhu is not an ordinary citizen, and has the Jiang family and the Xie family as her backers.
"What do you mean, Jiang Yuzhu is being violent towards me, so I have to endure it?"
