She left the shopkeeper and Princess Wenyi behind, quickly walked out of the Treasure Shop, and sweetly called out to Fu Weiyun, "Brother Yun!"
Fu Weiyun almost thought he was hallucinating.
Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw that Zuo Miaomiao was indeed standing in front of the gate of Zhenbaozhai, so he tightened the reins.
Zuo Miaomiao hurried forward, pouting, and said with tears welling up in her eyes, "Brother Yun, someone is bullying me."
Fu Weiyun: "..."
Is this girl possessed by some strange ghost?
He dismounted and met her gaze. He caught a glimpse of the cunning in her eyes and immediately understood what was going on.
He feigned anger: "Who dares to be so bold?"
Getting it right!
Zuo Miaomiao praised it in her heart and turned to look at Zhenbaozhai.
“It was Princess Wenyi and the manager of Zhenbaozhai. I had just picked out a few bells for Yuanyuan, but the manager gave them to Princess Wenyi under the pretext that someone had reserved them. When I questioned her, Princess Wenyi said that I was not worthy of them.”
Her voice was clear and loud, and both the shopkeeper and Princess Wenyi heard it.
The shopkeeper secretly groaned inwardly.
To keep Princess Wenyi as a major customer, we offended Commander Fu, a powerful figure. It was truly a losing proposition.
A flash of anger crossed Princess Wenyi's face.
She stood up from the chair, walked slowly to the entrance of Zhenbaozhai, glanced disdainfully at Zuo Miaomiao, and said to Fu Weiyun, "I never said such a thing."
Zuo Miaomiao lightly patted her forehead: "That's right, the princess didn't say she wasn't worthy, she said she wasn't qualified."
Fu Weiyun sneered: "What's the difference?"
Princess Wenyi sighed: "That's absolutely not what I meant. Please, Commander Fu, don't just listen to her side of the story."
"If I don't listen to her, should I listen to you?"
Fu Weiyun glanced at her lightly.
Princess Wenyi bit her lip, revealing an expression of utter helplessness.
Zuo Miaomiao tugged at Fu Weiyun's sleeve.
"Brother Yun, you'd better not make things difficult for her. Otherwise, I, the daughter of an imperial censor, can't afford to suffer retaliation."
Fu Weiyun stared at Princess Wenyi for a moment and said, "If anything happens to Miaomiao, I will hold you responsible."
After saying that, he led Zuo Miaomiao to the multi-treasure pavilion across the street.
“Zhenbaozhai is a big shop that bullies its customers. Let’s go to Duobaoge instead. I’ll accompany you to choose at your leisure.”
"Okay, thank you, Brother Yun."
The shopkeeper watched the two figures disappear into the distance, his face turning deathly pale.
If word gets out that they're a big shop that bullies its customers, how much damage will they suffer?
Duobaoge will definitely seize the opportunity to grab customers.
At that time... it's unimaginable.
He wished he could pack up all the cat toys on the second floor and give them to Zuo Miaomiao as an apology.
But after glancing at Princess Wenyi, who stood motionless, he abandoned the idea.
He has already offended Zuo Miaomiao and Fu Weiyun. Even if he apologizes, they may not forgive him. Doing so will also offend Princess Wenyi. He will not please either side.
Let's protect Princess Wenyi first.
He forced a smile and said, "Princess, the sun is too strong outside. Why don't we come inside and continue drinking tea?"
Princess Wenyi didn't even glance at him, tossed out a "useless piece of trash!" and boarded her carriage, leaving with her servants.
Shopkeeper: "..."
I should have known better than to serve him!
Meanwhile, as soon as Zuo Miaomiao entered the Treasure Pavilion, she let go of Fu Weiyun's sleeve.
Fu Weiyun raised an eyebrow: "What, use and discard?"
Zuo Miaomiao blinked: "What did Young Master Fu say? I don't understand."
Oh.
Fu Weiyun chuckled: "Who was it that just used me to embarrass themselves?"
Zuo Miaomiao felt a pang of guilt, but then realized that she had nothing to be guilty about.
Today's incident was entirely caused by Fu Weiyun, the troublemaker. She was just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire. What's wrong with using Fu Weiyun to vent her anger?
She scoffed, "If it weren't for someone attracting so many suitors and getting into trouble, would I have been humiliated? You have to deal with the trouble you caused yourself."
Fu Weiyun: "..."
My brain reacts pretty quickly.
He smiled slightly: "Okay, it's my fault. You can pick whatever you want from the curio cabinet, I'll pay for it."
Zuo Miaomiao was overjoyed: "Really?"
"I'd be a dog if I lied to you."
Zuo Miaomiao suddenly felt an urge to empty the entire treasure pavilion.
But considering that she had taken the little dumpling, she let him off the hook and only chose a few cat bells.
Fu Weiyun raised an eyebrow at what she had chosen: "Aren't you going to pick something you like?"
Zuo Miaomiao shook her head violently.
“Choosing a cat bell can be said as you buying a toy for your beloved pet, but choosing something else would be like you giving me a gift. My dad said that I can’t exchange gifts with men outside the family.”
Fu Weiyun: "..."
Why didn't you think of the precepts for young ladies when you were tugging at his sleeve?
This fickle temper of turning on someone without a second thought is exactly like Yuanyuan's.
He didn't try to persuade me any further. After settling the bill, he instructed me, "Take more people with you when you go out in the future. If you encounter a situation you can't handle, send someone to deliver a message to me."
She's not weak; she doesn't need to call for reinforcements all the time.
Zuo Miaomiao really wanted to refute him, but considering his good intentions, she nodded: "Okay, I'll remember."
She spoke very casually, not taking it seriously, but unexpectedly, she actually used it later.
She then bid farewell to Fu Weiyun.
"I'm going back to my residence now."
Fu Weiyun, who still had to patrol, nodded and said, "Okay."
These cat bells are a big hit with the little dumpling. It can play with the round bells all day long.
Looking at the little dumpling's lively and adorable appearance, Zuo Miaomiao became even more reluctant to return it to Fu Weiyun.
Fortunately, Fu Weiyun did not come to ask for it back.
