Chapter 33 Protection Fee



"My lady, everyone says that you look beautiful in this dress. You should be satisfied now, right? Ordinary clothes are suitable for ordinary people. This dress is made of the finest cloud brocade and is worth one hundred taels of silver. I wonder if you can't afford so much silver like ordinary people!"

These words instantly irritated Chu Ranxin, and he snorted coldly.

"How ridiculous! How could I not be able to pay? It's only one hundred taels. I'll buy it!"

He took out a hundred-liang silver note from his pocket, threw it in the waiter's face domineeringly, and left angrily with the maid beside him.

Walking on the street, Chu Ranxin attracted almost everyone's attention, and his heart was filled with pride.

But after walking a few streets, she felt something was wrong.

There's nothing wrong with buying new clothes, but this piece of clothing is from Chu Weiyue's store.

Regardless of whether she looks good in it or not, this behavior alone is equivalent to encouraging Chu Weiyue's arrogance!

Just now she was walking on the street, showing off, invisibly promoting Chu Weiyue's shop.

Chu Ranxin stamped her feet in anger, she almost regretted it so much, it was obvious that she was tricked by that bitch Chu Weiyue!

Because of the huge discounts on the first day, Chu Weiyue and his shop became famous, and the shop continued to be crowded on the second day.

After Wen Jingchi finished his morning court session, he happened to pass by this shop and couldn't help but stop to take a look.

"Your Highness, this store was opened by Chu Weiyue. It was previously owned by her father's concubine..." The subordinate hurriedly repeated what he had learned.

"I can't believe she can open a shop..."

Wen Jingchi laughed coldly, with a look of intense disbelief in his eyes.

Regardless of whether this woman really wants to open a shop or just pretends to do so, once she is busy it is impossible for her to harass me like she did in the past!

Without thinking too much, he went straight back with his men.

As soon as he left, Chu Weiyue came out from a corner with a sinister face.

Want to get rid of her? Wish you could!

I went to Su Xiu Niang to get the men's clothing and visited her in person.

The men arrived at Wen Jingchi's yard, and before they could explain in detail, Chu Weiyue ran over happily.

Boldly approached Wen Jingchi and said, "My Lord, long time no see, why don't you come to see me?"

Wen Jingchi looked unhappy and didn't want to answer at all.

Chu Weiyue didn't feel embarrassed and stuffed the clothes into Wen Jingchi's hands: "Your Highness, these are clothes I designed myself, and I sent a few pieces specially for you. You have a slender and sexy figure, and you are the most attractive man in the capital. If you wear my clothes, others will follow suit..."

Thinking of the scene of the restaurant being packed with customers in the future, Chu Weiyue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I don't need clothes, you should take them back." Wen Jingchi didn't even look at him and pushed him back.

"No, Your Majesty, just consider it as helping me promote myself! If you don't wear it to promote me, then I won't leave today, and I will climb the wall of your house and poke the window paper of your room when I have time in the future!"

Anyway, she had a bad reputation in the past, and now she is no longer afraid of boiling water!

“…”

Wen Jingchi was choked by her and was speechless. In order to get rid of her quickly, he could only reluctantly let his subordinates take over.

Chu Weiyue then revealed a satisfied smile: "Then I'll go back first, remember to wear it as soon as possible!"

When she reached the gate of the yard, she turned her head back deliberately, her eyes filled with suggestion and mystery.

It was as if warning Wen Jingchi that if he dared not to wear it, he would be harassed every night!

Watching her leaving, Wen Jingchi opened his clothes with disgust.

But her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she suddenly became a little more suspicious. How could Chu Weiyue come up with such a unique style of clothing?

I looked carefully at the styles of the other pieces of clothing. They were unique and exquisite, and it was not difficult to feel how elegant and handsome they would be when put on.

The other side.

Chu Ranxin got up early in the morning and went to find Song.

"Mother, didn't you promise me to make Chu Weiyue look good? Why haven't you done it yet? I heard from the girl that today's business is better than yesterday!"

Thinking about the humiliation he suffered yesterday, Chu Ranxin's resentment reached its peak.

Song patted her head lovingly: "Silly child, don't worry, mother will definitely make the decision for you, but we can't do it ourselves..."

After thinking calmly for a moment, Song's eyes gradually became vicious.

The shop couldn't be revived in her hands. If Chu Weiyue saved it, where would her face be!

He immediately called his most trusted subordinate and ordered him sternly: "Tell Zhao San right away and ask her to ask Chu Weiyue for protection money. If she doesn't give him fifty taels, I will smash the store!"

Zhao San was a well-known bully in the capital. When he learned that someone had given him money and asked him to collect it, and that the store manager was a woman, he went there alone.

It was noon and there was no customer in the shop. Chu Weiyue was sitting nearby counting the bills.

Suddenly, a big, strong man with a face full of flesh came in.

Looking him up and down, Chu Weiyue realized something was wrong.

There are only women's clothes here, and this man looks so dignified and dressed so well, it is impossible that he is here to buy clothes.

"Hey, big brother, are you here to buy clothes?" Chu Weiyue asked politely and softly.

Zhao San glared and slammed the table hard.

"I am a grown man, I would never come to you to buy clothes, you are insulting your master Zhao! Today, I am in a good mood, so I won't bother with you. You should pay this year's protection fee first, a total of fifty taels of silver!"

He raised his head proudly and extended his hand directly to Chu Weiyue.

These words made Chu Weiyue frown, and she instantly understood that this man was a scoundrel.

"I rented this shop. There are no other fees except rent, and the court has no relevant regulations. So you should ask someone else for the protection fee. I don't have any!"

It's a huge joke for her to be afraid of a small gangster as she is from a marquis's mansion!

Zhao San obviously didn't know Chu Weiyue's identity, and immediately glared at her fiercely.

"Once you come here, you must abide by my rules. If you want your shop to be safe for a year, you must pay the protection fee. Otherwise..."

"What else? If you dare to do anything wrong, I will go to the county government to sue you. The capital is under the feet of the emperor, how can we allow you to be so presumptuous!"

Chu Weiyue's words were extremely harsh, and she was unwilling to give him any face.

These words made Zhao San's face turn black instantly, and he glared angrily: "Okay, you won't give it to me, right?"

"Yes, I won't give it to you!"

"Okay, now I'll let you know the consequences of not giving it to me!"

Zhao San stomped his feet in anger, grabbed the lucky cat ornament on the table and smashed it to the ground, then kicked over a chair.

He grabbed the clothes hanging on the rack, threw them to the ground viciously, ran over and stomped on them, muttering to himself.

"I told you not to hand it over, I told you not to hand it over..."

This scene made Chu Weiyue immediately angry and embarrassed.
