Chapter 524 Spoiled and Willful Wife VS Cowardly and Fearful Husband 16
"Offend me?" The old woman's cloudy eyes were full of contempt as she laughed mockingly. "What is your Jun family? We just robbed you, what can you do about it?"
Today, she was given orders from the master—no matter what, she had to snatch these embroiderers from the Jun family.
Before the old woman could finish speaking, the steward of the Jun family had already drawn his broadsword three inches from its sheath, startling everyone in the silk shop.
Although this steward of the Jun family is now quite old, he was a soldier who fought on the battlefield in his youth, and a scar on his waist runs diagonally from his right shoulder to his left waist...
Even when he was at home, he still practiced swordsmanship every morning, never missing a single day.
At this moment, he gripped the broadsword, his eyes fierce, and his aura became much more oppressive.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that his legs went weak. He had been running this silk shop for more than ten years and was extremely afraid of losing his life.
He shakily hid behind a pillar, peeking out half his head, his voice trembling: "Gentlemen, let's talk this out! Let's talk this out! We see each other all the time, why ruin the harmony..."
The steward of the Jun family gripped the hilt of the sword, his veins bulging, and drew the long sword completely.
He lowered his voice again, his tone threatening: "You really think the Jun family mansion is made of paper? I'd like to see who gave you the guts!"
After saying that, he slammed the scabbard onto the counter, causing the silks on the shelf to fall to the ground.
The shopkeeper collapsed to the ground, shrinking into a corner and barely daring to breathe.
Although the old woman was somewhat intimidated, she still retorted sharply, "So what if you're from the Jun family? My master can make it impossible for you to move an inch in this city with just a flick of his finger!"
She turned her head and winked at the women behind her, and they immediately rolled up their sleeves, ready to fight.
"Just the few of you?" The steward of the Jun family slammed the back of his knife heavily on his palm.
The old woman suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs, "Guards! Get all these troublemakers out of here!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a dozen burly men wielding sticks rushed in from outside the door, each one looking fierce and menacing.
The other two guards from the Jun residence were no pushovers either; although outnumbered, they quickly drew their swords and formed a battle formation.
The shopkeeper scrambled to hide under the counter, trembling and muttering, "It's all over, it's all over, this silk shop is going to be ruined today..."
...
The Emperor's Residence.
Jiang Zhiyi frowned slightly and asked, "Judging from the situation, there's been quite a dispute inside the silk shop, and they've even started fighting. If we disturb the authorities, it might be even worse. Are we really not going to go and take a look?"
"It's nothing." Jun Yu remained calm and composed, his gaze falling on the pendant swaying beside her ear.
These pendants would be a perfect match for the emerald green ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress). I'll have someone order two new outfits for her from the embroidery shop another day.
Seeing that Jun Yu didn't care, Jiang Zhiyi became a little anxious.
I heard they've all had knives used; if someone dies, that's no small matter.
"Are you really not going?" she asked again.
Seeing this, Jun Yu glanced around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then quietly lowered his voice and said to her, "That songstress Mo Xiaoyao married... was originally one of my people, raised in the manor to play music since she was a child..."
Three years ago, he placed someone in Zuixianlou. Now that he has finally managed to get close to Mo Xiaoyao, it is the perfect opportunity for her to gather information.
But Jiang Zhiyi interpreted these words differently.
What does "his person" mean?
She had thought his mansion was spotless, but it turned out he had sent everyone out before she even entered.
He used to live a carefree and happy life, with beautiful women playing music for him since he was a child...
Seeing that she hadn't answered for a while and her expression wasn't good, Junyu reached out and touched her shoulder, asking, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Jiang Zhiyi pushed him away, grabbed the pair of emerald earrings from her earlobe, and smashed them hard on the ground.
"You bastard! You always put on an act, but you've been doing so many filthy things behind my back!"
Junyu: "I..."
He hadn't reacted yet.
"Shut up!" Jiang Zhiyi immediately raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
The moment the slap landed, the surroundings fell into dead silence.
Jun Yu turned his head, and five clear finger marks quickly appeared on his left cheek.
