Chapter 38 Madam Shaohua is a female public relations
The Qin family: Is this the legendary rogue behavior?
"Sister, why do you have to be like this? It's just a knife. If it's lost, it's lost. If you call a horse a deer and let everyone know about it, it will bring shame to the Marquis's mansion." Lu Zhiqing frowned and questioned, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
"My sister, you mean the face that the Wuning Marquis' Mansion is said to be rich and prosperous? They don't even care about the spoils of war bestowed by the emperor. If they lose it, they lose it. It's true that the Wuning Marquis' Mansion is so rich and powerful. Even the children of the royal family don't have such luxury!"
Su Qianqian fiddled with the teacup and said softly.
Old Madam Qin was startled. As expected, there were handles everywhere in Wuning Marquis' Mansion. If she didn't mean it, it would be fine. But if she did, Lu Zhiqing's words would be evidence that Wuning Marquis' Mansion was rich enough to rival a country.
"Sister, you are afraid of being accused of being extravagant, so why did you let Second Uncle lie and say that he lost five thousand taels of silver notes? Carrying so many silver notes with you is not extravagant?" Lu Zhiqing was ridiculed by Su Qianqian and became inexplicably angry.
"How is it a lie? Second uncle took out all the family savings, intending to use them to provide relief to the families of soldiers who died in the war on behalf of His Majesty, but who knew that they were all stolen. Now there is no money to comfort the families, and there is not a penny left in the savings. The lady at home is crying and making a fuss about the dowry and private room that were misappropriated. If she is pushed to the limit, won't she fight to the death?"
Su Qianqian opened her eyes wide and spoke as if it were true.
Liu was enlightened: "That's right, husband, wait for me to grab a gun, and we will go to the teahouse and get my dowry back!"
The Second Master had never done such a rude thing before. He gave his mother a pleading look, but Old Madam Qin didn't even raise her eyebrows and drank her tea peacefully.
The second master had no choice but to go find those colleagues first, and took them directly to the teahouse without saying anything. Inside the teahouse, the second lady had a shiny silver spear stuck on the ground, and most of the guests on the first floor had already run away... and were all sticking their heads out of the door to look.
At this time, Su Qianqian and Qin Hanzhang also parked their car opposite the teahouse. In order to conceal their identities, they took the carriage that the butler took when he went out.
[This small teahouse is truly home to many talented people. In just a short while, several distinguished guests have already taken their seats upstairs. 】
The system quietly explores the surrounding environment.
Who are they? They kept me from taking a nap and brought me here. Just wait and see how I’m going to deal with them! 】
Su Qianqian yawned, and met Qin Hanzhang's meaningful eyes with her round mouth. She quickly closed her mouth and continued to pretend to be a quail.
A quarrel had already broken out in the teahouse.
"If I don't return my husband's sword, jade pendant, and my banknotes today, if you want to leave this door, you must ask me about this gun first!"
With a "bang", the spear hit the ground and made it shake. The shopkeeper had a bitter look on his face and kept looking up at the floor above.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I have never robbed anyone with the help of thieves. Please don't wrongly accuse me of this..."
"Unjust? Gentlemen, you are my husband's colleagues. Have you seen the scimitar my husband is holding?" Liu turned to ask the four people.
"This..." Several people looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.
"Hey, whoever says he hasn't seen it is an accomplice. How could I not know what kind of person my husband is? I'm afraid that even the dogs in your office know that my husband has a scimitar. If you are not blind, you will definitely see it. If you still deny it, what else can you be but an accomplice?"
Before Liu got married, she was a troublemaker in the family. She had been in the Marquis' Mansion for so many years and had to abide by the rules. She didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to pick a fight today. She finally felt like a rogue again.
The four men didn't dare to say anything more and could only nod and say they saw it. This time the shopkeeper's situation became even more difficult.
Su Qianqian and Qin Hanzhang, who were opposite the teahouse, naturally had Su Xing go back and forth to pass on the message.
"Why waste time talking to this shopkeeper? Let him find the boss. His words don't count. If the boss doesn't show up, there must be something fishy going on. In the end, we can only admit that we have bad luck. In addition to returning the knife, we have to pay 5,000 taels of silver. The jade pendant is a way to find the person behind the scenes..."
Qin Hanzhang couldn't help but admire him in his heart. He was really smart and thought ten steps ahead. Every step he took was to test the other party's bottom line.
"If the boss comes out, he won't be afraid of making a big fuss. He will go to the Dali Temple to cry, go to the Ministry of War to cry, and cry in front of the emperor. He will let everyone know that the Wuning Marquis's mansion is poor, and that they are complaining about the five thousand taels of silver. The knife must have been lost because someone wanted to frame him. If the knife appears again in the future, it must have been stolen by the framer to commit murder..."
Qin Hanzhang glanced at Su Qianqian. Su Qianqian realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly smiled awkwardly: "It's better to take precautions before it happens. I was just being petty..."
Qin Hanzhang gave a few instructions outside the car window, and soon the second master came clamoring to see the boss.
The stalemate lasted for half an hour. More and more people gathered. The shopkeeper kept wiping his sweat and looking up more and more frequently. Suddenly, someone squeezed in from the crowd, holding a golden bag in his hand:
"Master, I found this. Did you drop it?"
A little beggar squeezed in, with grease stains on his mouth. He handed the brocade bag to the second master with his black hands.
The second master took it and opened it, and it was indeed the scimitar, along with five thousand taels of silver and a white jade pendant.
After checking carefully that the scimitar was not a replica, the second master snorted and told the beggar, "Ask the shopkeeper for a tip!" Then he left the teahouse with the second lady.
On the way back to the Marquis' Mansion, the system praised Su Qianqian and then said: [Just now, Duke Xu and Prince Mu were sitting in a tea room upstairs, and Duke Zhou and Duke Xuan were in another tea room. My lady, who do you think is the host? 】
[I guess...neither!] 】Su Qianqian closed her eyes as if she was dozing off.
How do you know? 】The system was a little confused.
[I don't know who the boss is, but I know you like to keep it a secret. Instead of verifying what you are not familiar with, it is better to master what you are familiar with and make judgments based on familiar rules. Do you understand? 】
Qin Hanzhang nodded secretly in his heart.
No one knows where this fake Su Qianqian came from. She is smart, calm, and both good and evil. No idea what she will do or say next, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that she is cautious in every step.
[Choosing you as my mistress is my wisest choice! You guessed it right, none of them are. The owner of this teahouse is a famous woman, Madam Shaohua, who is well-known in Xijing City. 】
[Mrs. Shaohua?] The public relations officer of the woman who became an independent householder after her husband died? 】
[Yes, she was upstairs just now and asked someone to find the little beggar and return the things. 】
[Madam Shaohua has no grudges against the Wuning Marquisate, why would she do such a thing? 】
Not only Su Qianqian was confused, but Qin Hanzhang also frowned in confusion.
Their Wuning Marquis Mansion had never interacted with other families because the Great Qi Dynasty valued civil officials over military officials. They did not want to be looked down upon by important civil officials, nor did they want to be controlled and used by others by holding a large number of troops. Therefore, they had almost no impression of Madam Shaohua.
[Although Madam Shaohua has no grudges against the Wuning Marquis Mansion, she comes into contact with many people. How do you know that there are no people who are dissatisfied with the Wuning Marquis Mansion among them? You also said that she is a female public relations officer. You should know what the role of a female public relations officer is!
Moreover, this Madam Shaohua has a super big melon on her body...】 The system's baby voice was eerie.
