Chapter 357 Zhang Laosan is looking for trouble
Xu Miaomiao looked at the woman in front of her and continued, "If not, your Majesty should talk to the emperor about the disadvantages of this department store and ask him to cancel the cooperation with the military camp."
"Are you threatening me?"
When the Queen heard this, she looked at Xu Miaomiao coldly.
Xu Miaomiao immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head to answer her: "I dare not, but I am too insignificant to speak, so naturally I cannot see the emperor all the time. I can only trouble the queen to take the message."
The woman on the stage looked cold when she heard this. Nangong Jin sensed something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to stand in front of Xu Miaomiao, saying, "Now, the military camp and the department store have a very good cooperation. If this is the case, many people will be dissatisfied. The government is dedicated to the people and certainly does not want the originally good living conditions in the military to be dragged down to a level worse than before. Although Madam Xu is a woman and has opened a store, she has not done anything inappropriate. Now, the reputation of this department store in the capital is getting bigger and bigger. Your Majesty might as well let her go and see how far she can go."
Hearing Nangong Jin say this, the Queen finally relaxed her brows.
Princess Jiahe, who was standing by, was dissatisfied when she heard this. She pouted her lips and looked at him and said, "Who said her department store is becoming more and more famous? There are so many stores in the capital that look down on them and think they are just showing off their beauty. How can such a corrupt women's store continue to operate in the capital? Besides, what the queen said is not wrong. Her husband is an official in the court, and she insists on showing her face outside. Isn't this a slap in her husband's face?"
"What is Princess Jiahe saying?" Xu Miaomiao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly raised her head, looked at everyone and said, "My husband himself never thought that I was embarrassing him, but Princess Jiahe actually thought so. Could it be that Princess Jiahe did this before and made Mr. Nangong feel embarrassed?"
There was obvious sarcasm in Xu Miaomiao's words.
Princess Jiahe frowned slightly and was about to step forward when she was stopped by Nangong Jin, who said, "She is a concubine now. Even if your status is too noble, you can't beat a concubine at will. Is this what the royal etiquette has taught you?"
Hearing Nangong Jin say this, Princess Jiahe snorted in dissatisfaction.
The Queen on the stage also frowned slightly, shook her head at the crowd, and said, "Alright, we have wasted enough time today, and I am also very tired. Let's leave it at that. But Madam Xu, I still hope you can remember my words to your heart, and don't flatter me on the surface but take it lightly behind my back."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she immediately bowed to the Queen and said, "I will naturally remember what you said."
After hearing Xu Miaomiao's answer, the woman slightly raised her frowning brows, waved her hand at everyone, and said, "I've been out for long enough, and it's time for me to go back. Also, you two should be of one mind, this is the greatest truth and the most important thing. Don't let outsiders hurt the harmony between husband and wife, understand?"
"I will keep this in mind."
"Jiahe, please remember this."
The moment she walked out of the Nangong Mansion, Xu Miaomiao felt unprecedented relaxation. She still couldn't believe herself that she actually walked out of the Nangong Mansion safely. However, all this was thanks to Nangong Jin and Jiang Wenyu.
If they hadn't helped him when everyone was ostracizing him, his life would have been difficult today. Xu Miaomiao, who had finally gotten out, just wanted to go back to the mansion and have a rest.
Perhaps because Song Zhijin was injured, she had no time to look for them these days. Xu Miaomiao actually felt that the world had become peaceful and everything was slowly developing in a good direction. As usual, she would go to the umbrella shop and Xiangchunfang from time to time to take a look.
Every time the shopkeeper of Xiangchunfang saw her coming, he would warmly entertain her and wait at the door early in the morning. When he saw Xu Miaomiao's carriage, he immediately came to greet her: "Madam Xu, you are here today. You must try the new wine from Xiangchunfang. It tastes good."
Before Xu Miaomiao could say anything, Song Weiwei popped her head out from behind her and nodded to Shopkeeper Wan: "There are new wine boxes. Great, great."
Xu Miaomiao saw this scene, shook her head helplessly, tugged at Song Weiwei's collar, and told her to speak: "Don't be greedy, there are still important things to do today."
Song Weiwei hung her head with some regret, nodded at Xu Miaomiao, and responded to Xu Miaomiao's words.
Xu Miaomiao looked at his appearance and shook her head helplessly. As soon as she entered the door, the former Shopkeeper Wan always tried every means to get Song Weiwei to try some new dishes, but today, Shopkeeper Wan really stood in front of Miaomiao, looking at her and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Xu Miaomiao saw this scene and took the initiative to ask: "What happened to Manager Wan?"
The shopkeeper sighed helplessly and shook his head. Just as he was about to give some instructions, he heard a series of jingling sounds at the door. It turned out that the owner of the restaurant opposite had brought a group of people directly in and kicked a chair at the door, causing it to fall to the ground with a loud noise.
When the people drinking in Xiangchunfang saw this scene, they were afraid of getting into trouble and ran away in a hurry.
Manager Wan was helpless when he saw this scene.
"Hey, Madam Xu is here today. What a coincidence."
When the restaurant owner saw Xu Miaomiao, he immediately came forward.
Shopkeeper Wan saw him and said in dissatisfaction: "Zhang Laosan, what do you want?"
"Manager Wan, what are you talking about? I just came to your place to have a drink, why are you so unwelcoming to me?"
"You've been here a few times this month. Every time you come to my store, you either smash things or throw bowls and chopsticks, or you say that my wine is not clean and there is something in it. What do you mean? Your business can't continue, but we still have to continue."
Manager Wan was once a scholar. He opened this Xiangchunfang restaurant because he liked drinking.
Xu Miaomiao had never seen her as irritable as she was today. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao stood in front of Shopkeeper Wan and signaled him to calm down. Seeing this, Zhang Laosan turned his gaze to Xu Miaomiao and said, "After Madam Xu cooperated with Xiangchunfang, the business of the department store must be better, right? Are there more people going there?"
