Chapter 144
Hu Li was about to continue her ridicule when she saw a strange woman coming over. She was stunned for a moment. Although the woman was not wearing any jewelry, her clothes were very exquisite, which made people's eyes light up at first sight.
But this woman looked very unfamiliar. After so many official gatherings, it seemed that no one had any impression of this young lady. Because she suddenly broke in, everyone's eyes fell on this woman.
Li Wan'er was also stunned for a moment by Fu Yuqing's sudden appearance. After Fu Yuqing grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently a few times, Li Wan'er simply kept silent. The current situation was already very unfavorable to her. Maybe this person was here to help her.
"Miss Li, why are you standing here all the time? The pear blossoms in front are blooming so beautifully. I just met the Prime Minister's wife, and she said she would like to invite Miss Li to go with her to appreciate the pear blossoms. I wonder if Miss Li would be willing to do me the honor." Fu Yuqing said again.
"Madam Prime Minister? That would be great!" When Li Wan'er heard the invitation from Madam Prime Minister, how could she refuse? At this moment, she had a rough guess about the background of the woman in front of her. Maybe she was Madam Prime Minister's servant?
But judging from his clothes, he doesn't look like a servant.
Could that be a good friend of the Prime Minister’s wife?
But she doesn't seem to be married either.
Li Wan'er couldn't make up her mind for a moment.
When Miss Hu San heard the word "Madam Prime Minister", she was also stunned. Everyone knew that Chu Zhenxuan was in the limelight now and was to be crowned Crown Prince on New Year's Day. He was also the adopted son of Madam Prime Minister. With such a status, it would be hard to curry favor with him, so who would dare to offend him? However, Miss Hu San had finally set up a good plan and had been waiting for this for so long. How could she give up?
"Wait a minute, Miss Li, you're just leaving like that?" Miss Hu San tried her best to avoid the Prime Minister's wife, as she naturally couldn't afford to offend her.
Li Wan'er raised her eyebrows. "Why, you are unhappy because the Prime Minister's wife didn't invite you? Why don't you go and talk to the Prime Minister's wife and ask her to wait."
Xia Xue, who was still watching, really wanted to vomit blood. Li Wan'er was really used to being spoiled. With this IQ, if she got married in the future, she would be divorced in a few days.
Miss Hu San was smarter than Li Wan'er, so she didn't dare to bring up the Prime Minister's wife so blatantly. She just smiled awkwardly and said, "This sister looks unfamiliar. I wonder if she is from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
This is questioning identity.
Fu Yuqing snorted, "I'm not from the Xiangfu, I'm the owner of 'Zhilan Pavilion', and today I'm here to accompany our exclusive VIP client Miss Li into the palace."
Li Wan'er's eyes widened. She was not from the Prime Minister's Mansion. She was the owner of Zhilan Pavilion!
There were gasps all around.
"Zhilan Pavilion" has risen rapidly in Kyoto in recent months, and its popularity has surpassed all other clothing shops and entertainment venues. In addition, the boss is mysterious, so it was fortunate that her appearance did not cause screams.
Hu Li snorted coldly, "The boss of Zhilan Pavilion has always been mysterious. She has never even shown up at the chess and magic competitions among scholars. Now, just anyone shows up and says he is the boss of Zhilan Pavilion, right?"
Fu Yuqing smiled. It was just as Xueer had predicted. Miss Hu San would definitely cause trouble.
Fu Yuqing was not in a hurry to explain, but followed Xia Xue's instructions and ignored Hu Li. Fu Yuqing turned around and said respectfully, "Miss Li, don't keep the Prime Minister's wife waiting for too long. Let's go."
Li Wan'er nodded. No matter whether it was true or not, she was great that she could help her out of the situation!
So Li Wan'er turned around and walked inside.
Hu Li was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but she didn't dare to do it in front of so many people. She stepped forward quickly and stood in front of Li Wan'er, "If you can't produce the shipping order, take off your clothes!"
"What?"
Before Li Wan'er could speak, Fu Yuqing frowned and asked.
"I was talking to Li Wan'er. Everyone here heard it just now. Li Wan'er said that if the dress she wore didn't belong to 'Zhilan Pavilion', she would take it off in front of everyone." Hu Li was determined to do it. If she didn't make trouble and let Li Wan'er go, it would be difficult to get such an opportunity next time. Besides, her people might be caught by Li Wan'er when they returned this time, and it would be even more difficult for her to do it.
Fu Yuqing glanced at the delivery note in Hu Li's hand. "The delivery note in your hand is the purchase voucher for ordinary customers of 'Zhilan Pavilion'. For VIP customers like Miss Li, we provide one-on-one service. Miss Li's purchase volume is the largest in Kyoto, so she enjoys the personal service of me, the boss, and does not need any delivery note at all. Do you understand?"
Hu Li's face turned pale and blue. Fu Yuqing's words kept telling everyone that Li Wan'er was the most distinguished guest of "Zhilan Pavilion", and that others could not compare to her at all. She was so angry!
How would she fight back against this woman?
Hu Li thought of several possibilities in her mind, and the worst one was that this woman was really the boss of "Zhilan Pavilion".
"This is the imperial palace. Anyone who talks nonsense is deceiving the emperor!" Hu Li thought of using deceiving the emperor to suppress others.
Fu Yuqing raised her eyebrows. "Everyone knows this, right? Who would dare to make up such an identity? Just like which family you are from, if you don't tell me, everyone can easily verify it."
Fu Yuqing is not afraid of being proven wrong. She did not lie. She is the boss of "Zhilan Pavilion".
Li Wan'er was somewhat surprised by Fu Yuqing's behavior. She had not expected that the boss of "Zhilan Pavilion" in the capital city would come to help her out. She would ask her fifth brother to place an order with ten times the amount from "Zhilan Pavilion"!
Hu Li felt a little cold in her heart. The woman in front of her was not afraid of deceiving the emperor. The biggest possibility, and the worst possibility, was that she was really the boss of Zhilan Pavilion!
Well, since the boss of "Zhilan Pavilion" is unkind, don't blame her for being unjust!
Hu Li snorted coldly, "I've always heard that 'Zhilan Pavilion' only produces one piece of each style for its high-end products, but look, not only is Li Wan'er wearing one, but also..." Hu Li glanced at the lady who was wearing exactly the same thing as Li Wan'er.
"I was also quite surprised about this matter just now, because Miss Li is our VIP customer, and all the custom-made products are tailor-made and must be one-of-a-kind. However, as we are approaching the end of the year, all the embroiderers have increased their workload, and it is inevitable that someone will get the wrong drawings. I just took a few glances at the dress of the lady opposite me, and it didn't fit her very well. I went back to find the embroiderer who made this dress and asked her about the situation. Either I have to remake three more dresses for this lady, or I will give her a tenfold refund! I wonder if this lady is willing?" Fu Yuqing explained.
Fu Yuqing spoke very artistically and sincerely. When the lady heard that she had to pay three pieces of clothing or ten times the price, she nodded quickly, thinking it was such a great thing.
Hu Li looked at the lady who kept nodding with a look of dismay, his teeth itching with anger.
Fu Yuqing stopped talking to her and left with Li Wan'er.
At this time, a sour voice sounded from behind, "How could the Prime Minister's wife know you, a merchant, and act like a good friend?"
Hu Li was really at her wit's end, so she found the lamest way to mock her.
“Zhilan Pavilion” is the rented house of the Xia family’s third bedroom!!!
Fu Yuqing left these words lightly and left with Li Wan'er, leaving Hu Li with a confused look on her face.
