She took a few steps forward angrily, trying to scare the woman in front of her with her aura, but she was not afraid at all.
"Yes, I don't know the full story, but you can't humiliate him in front of so many people."
"No, why not?"
"because……"
"Why can't you tell me? Well, I'll tell you, I came here with money to spend. I bought your clothes and services, not to be insulted. And your servant treated us differently because he thought we weren't dressed luxuriously enough. He even spoke rudely to my servants. All the servants here are like this. And seeing how you can't tell right from wrong, I don't think the things in your Yunshangzhai are very good either. Who knows what's going on inside."
Most people here have bought ready-made clothes here, and many of them have also been treated with cold stares and snide remarks by some of the shop assistants, who implicitly said that they couldn't afford the things here.
Hearing Rong Xi say this, it suddenly felt that it was right. They spent money here to buy clothes and services. Needless to say, the service here is terrible. The materials of the clothes are only good on the second floor. The ones on the first floor are all nonsense.
"Yes, the people in Yunshangzhai are not good people."
As soon as one person spoke, another person would speak up, and the voices grew louder and louder, and the situation became increasingly difficult to control.
The shopkeeper was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, so he quickly walked over to Jiang Shiyue to remind her.
"Miss, these people's identities are probably not simple, you'd better not offend them."
Jiang Shiyue was also a little panicked. She didn't care who Rong Xi and the others were. Judging from their clothes, they couldn't be princes or nobles. Moreover, she knew all the princes and nobles in and outside the palace, so there was definitely no such person.
That's why she was so unscrupulous when she came in and spoke just now.
But with so many people making a fuss, she really felt that this was not acceptable, as she still had to do business here.
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Rong Xi spoke again, "My purpose is very simple. If you kowtow to my people and apologize, I will take them away."
"You, don't go too far."
"You are going too far. You are the ones who are bullying others. You are really good at bullying customers with your big store, Yunshangzhai."
"We don't have a store that bullies customers because of its size. You are slandering us."
"Okay, I haven't said a few words yet, and you're accusing me of slander. What are you doing if you're not bullying customers because of your size?"
The people around couldn't stand it anymore. The woman in white looked so weak and fragile, and the Shangshu's daughter accused her of slander without any evidence.
"Yes, you are bullying customers because of your big store. You are showing off your power here by relying on the Shangshu Mansion behind you."
"Yeah, why are you like this?"
Jiang Shiyue got angry and started cursing, "You idiots, do you know where this is? My father is the Minister of Works. Do you all want to be convicted?"
This is indeed useful. The people do not fight against the officials because the officials really have the power and conspiracy to kill them.
Everyone present kept their mouths shut for fear of being implicated.
But when she turned to look at the woman in front of her, she found that she still had the same arrogant expression as before.
"So, you're saying that the Minister of Works is oppressing the people, using his official power to suppress ordinary people, and arbitrarily imposing charges and punishments on innocent civilians. Is that what you mean?"
"You, you are talking nonsense. When did I ever say that?"
She is getting more and more nervous now. She must not let this matter become true, otherwise her father will definitely punish her severely.
Everyone's attention was diverted by Rong Xi, and after hearing what she said, they really realized that what they had just done was just using officials to oppress the people.
Rong Xi turned around to face all of them with a look of grievance on his face.
"If that's the case, then I don't want justice. I won't dare come to Yunshangzhai anymore. I might be arrested and thrown into jail one day and killed on some trumped-up charge to silence me."
"You, how dare you slander the Shangshu Mansion like this? I will beat you to death, you bitch."
Jiang Shiyue had already raised her hand to slap him, but the next moment, Changshun behind her grabbed it in his hand.
"Master, are you going to kill her?"
"No need, let's go."
After Rong Xi and his men left, all the guests on the first and second floors of Yunshangzhai left.
At the same time, the Minister of Works oppressed the people, relying on his official power to suppress ordinary people and arbitrarily imposing charges and punishments on innocent civilians. The saying that big stores bully customers also spread in the capital.
He even came before the emperor because of the impeachment of many officials.
The emperor still gave him some face and did not ask him about this matter during the court meeting, but after the court was dismissed, the Minister of Works was still called to the Imperial Study.
The Minister of Works was the emperor's man, which was why he had such an honor. Otherwise, the emperor would have been furious on the spot.
The emperor's memorial was thrown directly in his face. Although he was angry, he still sat there, as if he was on the verge of a rage.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
The Minister of Works only heard about this matter during the court session this morning, and it was too late to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged. Don't you know what kind of person I am? How could I have done such a thing?"
"Then tell me what these are, tell me."
"this……"
He still didn't understand the whole story. "Your Majesty, please give me some time. Old Chen will definitely give you an explanation."
"roll."
.
The reason why these news spread so quickly in the capital was not only because the people present spread the news everywhere and testified, but also because Rong Xi spent money to buy it. Of course, this matter was also inseparable from Shen Ze'an's instigation behind the scenes.
Rong Xi fell asleep as soon as she returned to the Governor's Mansion. After being outside for a long time, her hands and feet were cold.
And all the food bought outside was delivered to Shen Ze'an by Changshun and Changping.
"You said she bought all these."
"My Lord, these are all bought specially for you by the Ninth Princess when she was shopping. She found something delicious and told me to keep it carefully."
"Oh, she has the nerve to give these things away."
The young eunuch beside him quickly took out the silver needles and tried them one by one. After finding no problems, he took out a small part and put it in his mouth.
Changping was holding wontons in his hand, which were already cold. He didn't know whether to take them out. After hesitating for a while, he decided to ask.
"Master Du, these are the wontons that the Ninth Princess brought you. They're a little cold, so I need to take them to the kitchen to heat them up."
Shen Ze'an asked Changping to open the food box. It was frozen into a ball and looked really unappetizing.
"Warm it up."
He rarely picked up these snacks. He liked these things very much when he was a child and had the opportunity to taste some. When he grew up, he no longer cared only about his appetite and never touched these things again even if he saw them.
Today is all thanks to the Ninth Princess.
He put a piece of malt sugar in his mouth. The familiar taste melted in his mouth. While eating, he listened to Changshun talk about what happened today.
"Minister of Works, humph!"
