Chapter 200 Store Opening Documents
Seeing that everyone had left, Gu Yuanniang breathed a sigh of relief. She stared at Xu Miaomiao who was in a daze and asked, "Miaomiao, what are you thinking about?"
Song Weiwei carried Xiaobao to the back to comfort him.
Xu Miaomiao stared at the door thoughtfully: "Sixth Lady, do you really think that Xiaobao caused this?"
Gu Yuanniang was a little confused when she heard Xu Miaomiao's words: "Didn't Xiaobao want to stop the boy from stealing things, so he was framed?"
After spending a long time with them, she could understand Xiaobao's sign language to some extent and asked tentatively.
Xu Miaomiao shook her head and said, "A child could not come up with such a frame-up. I'm afraid we have been targeted by others for a long time."
Gu Yuanniang covered her mouth in surprise: "You mean the people from Zuixiefang?"
"I'm afraid there are more people than just those from Zui Xie Fang."
The storm is about to come, Xu Miaomiao thought secretly in her heart, but since she has decided to take this step, she is naturally not afraid of anything!
Sure enough, just as everyone was about to close the store in the afternoon, a group of people came up to us.
Leading the charge is Lin Yan, the well-known shopkeeper of the Capital Chamber of Commerce.
"Manager Lin, how come you have time to come to our department store?" Xu Miaomiao asked the man in front of her.
Lin Yan was followed by many people, including the owner of Zuixiefang and the owner of the inn next door. In short, they were all well-known figures in the capital.
Lin Yan played with the walnut in his hand, looked around the department store, and finally locked his eyes on Xu Miaomiao: "I heard that Madam Xu has been having a hard time these past few days."
Xu Miaomiao remained silent, but she already had the answer in her heart. What happened before might be related to these people.
"Not only Manager Lin is here today, is there anything going on?"
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes and slowly uttered two words: "Acquisition!"
"Haha." Xu Miaomiao looked at the man and said, "We just cooperated with the imperial court, and our business is booming. Why do you think we will agree to transfer the store to you?"
Hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, Lin Yan simply sat down on a chair and looked confident: "Madam Xu, you may not know that this capital is different from your small county. The shops opened in the capital must have a document of approval from the Chamber of Commerce. You don't have this thing, which means you are opening a shop privately, which is no different from those small street vendors. Our Chamber of Commerce can drive you out at any time."
"Documents?" Xu Miaomiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Yuanniang beside her.
Gu Yuanniang immediately stepped forward and whispered in Xu Miaomiao's ear: "This thing does exist, but no one has taken care of it for many years. It may be targeting us that they brought this up."
Xu Miaomiao understood in her heart, and thought that if it was someone else, they would just turn a blind eye, but it happened to be Xu Miaomiao.
"What would you do if we didn't have this document?" Xu Miaomiao looked at everyone and asked.
Before Lin Yan could speak, the owner of the Drunken Crab House spoke first: "Of course, they want to drive away the small vendors, and drive you away too!"
"This is an officially opened shop. I'm afraid it's impossible for you to drive us away without an order from the government." Xu Miaomiao was not afraid at all and spoke to the group of men.
"We really can't." Li Yan polished the walnut in his hand and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "But Madam Xu has not had a good time in the past two days. I don't know if something will happen in the next two days. Maybe even someone's life will be involved."
Knowing that the other party was threatening her, Xu Miaomiao did not flinch at all. She walked to the abacus and started to count: "Human lives?"
Xu Miaomiao laughed playfully: "Mr. Lin, you may not know that my husband is the Fifth Prince's aide, my children and apprentices are educated at Mr. Nangong's house, I saved the Fifth Prince's life, and the department store is now a store appointed by the court, what do you think I am afraid of!"
"Since I dare to come here, it means that I have found out everything about Madam Xu's identity. Having a court background is naturally a good thing, but the more so, the more weaknesses there are. If it implicates my family, I'm afraid..."
The man wanted to say something but stopped himself, but Xu Miaomiao could hear the threat clearly in his voice. He was telling her to be careful and not to implicate Song Wushao because of him.
Throwing the abacus in his hand to the ground, Xu Miaomiao lost her temper and said, "If you dare to deal with my family, I will never let you go!"
"That's all I have to say, Madam Xu." Lin Yan stood up and looked at Xu Miaomiao and said slowly: "I'll give you three days. If you take the initiative to hand over the shop, everything will be fine for us, and you can get a good price."
Before leaving, the owner of Zuixiefang looked at Xu Miaomiao with a smile, as if he was taking advantage of the power of his master.
"Get lost, you bastard!"
Gu Yuanniang picked up the abacus on the ground and threw it at the man.
After everyone left, Xu Miaomiao had no one to rely on, so she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
"Miao Miao, what are you doing?" Gu Yuanniang looked at her and reached out to help her: "Hurry up, the ground is cold."
"Sixth Lady, I never thought that this matter would implicate Song Wushao." Xu Miaomiao said blankly, "If I really implicate him, I will never forgive myself."
"What are you afraid of?"
A familiar voice was heard outside the door. When Gu Yuanniang saw Song Wushao, she glanced at him and went out to find Song Weiwei.
Seeing the man, Xu Miaomiao felt both happy and sad: "Why are you here?"
Song Wushao's broad fingertips lingered on Xu Miaomiao's fluffy head and touched it, then he picked up the woman on the ground and put her on a chair beside him: "I just came out of the palace and saw a group of people walking towards your shop. I was worried so I came to check it out, but I didn't expect that I would be too late."
"Why do you always target us?" Xu Miaomiao said somewhat unwillingly.
Song Wu Shao hugged her comfortingly, letting Xu Miaomiao act coquettishly in his arms: "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."
"But they used such a despicable method to threaten me today. They clearly knew that if human lives were involved, they would be beheaded." Xu Miaomiao looked at Song Wushao with some grievance.
"Then let them come." Song Wushao's expression darkened, his face was full of gloom, and he showed a sinister expression. The moment Xu Miaomiao looked up, he suppressed the expression.
"But I'm afraid..." Before Xu Miaomiao could finish the second half of the sentence, Song Wushao blocked her mouth.
"No matter what you do, I support you. Don't be afraid. I'm behind you."
Song Wushao's words seemed to give Xu Miaomiao a reassurance. Staying by his side, Xu Miaomiao always felt a lot more at ease.
