Chapter 34: Just put yourself in a difficult position?
"Madam, please stop talking." The maid was a little embarrassed and turned her face away. "The Third Aunt asked you to go to Jin Manlou, why did you come to Jin Jinglou to cause trouble?"
Jin...Jin Manlou?
When the rich woman heard the sound, her body shook involuntarily. When she looked at Su Yunyao again, she realized the seriousness of the matter.
Her eyes were startled, "Ah... this... what should I do?"
The maid turned around and bowed to Su Yunyao again.
"My dear lady, I will have someone send you the money for today's losses and the medical expenses for Manager Xu's injury later. I am really sorry for what happened today. Please, for the sake of Third Aunt, please forgive me for my mistakes. Otherwise, let it go."
Right at this moment.
The waiter came in with the doctor. The man was the owner of Huichuntang, followed by Doctor Li.
Since receiving the imperial edict to take care of Huo Kang, Doctor Li has been staying in Huichun Hall every day. When he heard that the owner of Jinjing Tower was looking for a doctor, he asked to come along.
He had served in the palace for decades, so he naturally knew that the owner of Jinjinglou was the eldest princess.
After Doctor Li came in, he first bowed to the eldest princess.
Su Yunyao waved her hand, "It's not me, go and see him."
Doctor Li then noticed Xu Mubai sitting behind Su Yunyao. He walked over and naturally placed the medicine box on the table and asked the waiter to get a basin of clean water.
"My Lord..." Imperial Physician Li was stunned for a moment before changing his tone, "Although the young master's wound is not large, it is quite deep. I have already bandaged it. After seven days of regular dressing changes, he will be fine."
"Will it leave scars?" Su Yunyao asked immediately.
Scars...
Doctor Li paused. "Because the wound is quite deep, even if it heals, it won't be completely invisible immediately. It will take some time."
"How long does it take?"
When a doctor says this, he is usually telling the patient that scars will definitely occur, but it is not ruled out that some people have stronger recovery abilities.
As expected.
Doctor Li continued, "Perhaps after a year or two, the scar will gradually fade and won't be visible unless you look closely."
"Damn it!"
Su Yunyao's anger instantly rose to the top of her head.
"Such a handsome face, but it got a scar because of such a trivial thing. It really makes me angry!"
Xu Mubai's eyes trembled when he heard this.
At this time, the rich woman and her maid huddled together.
The wealthy woman tugged at the maid's sleeve, her expression tense as she whispered, "What should I do? What should I do?"
The maid rolled her eyes at them and said with an apologetic smile, "This incident today was indeed the fault of our Prime Minister's Mansion. The shopkeeper was injured as a result. We will cover all the medical expenses and give you an extra ingot of silver as an apology to the shopkeeper. Is this all right with you, young lady?"
A silver ingot!
The onlookers, upon hearing this, instantly became uneasy.
"As expected of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they are generous and give a silver ingot at a time."
"The shopkeeper has only earned a few dollars in his entire life at Jinjinglou. He only got a small scratch on his head. One ingot of silver is really not a small amount."
"You are so persistent, are you trying to make more money?"
"This girl looks so well-dressed, but I didn't expect she might be trying to scam people."
“…”
Su Yunyao looked at the silver ingot that the maid put down and weighed it in her hand: "Ordinary people can't earn so much money in their entire lives. A maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion can easily take out an ingot of silver. As if she were the owner of an ingot of silver, the Prime Minister's Mansion is indeed wealthy."
Everyone echoed, not noticing Su Yunyao's sarcastic tone, but the maid understood the other meaning of this sentence.
She hurriedly explained, "This money was given by the Third Aunt from her own dowry. It has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion. Please don't misunderstand me."
Su Yunyao raised her eyebrows and said, "Is it a misunderstanding? Let the Dali Temple Shaoqing investigate."
"Miss, it's not a big deal. Why should I bother you, Lord Shaoqing?" The maid looked embarrassed.
"Not a big deal?"
Su Yunyao pursed her lips and put down the silver ingot in her hand. "Okay, since it's not a big deal, I won't bother the government. One ingot of silver is enough to hurt my people like this, so I'll pay two ingots of silver."
After saying that, she placed a vase in Xu Mubai's hand and said, "Throw it back."
Jinjing Tower fell silent in an instant.
The maidservant was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. The servant girl's face also looked ugly.
Although she didn't know Su Yunyao's identity, the fourth-rank official standing next to her seemed to be always acting according to her mood.
Even the doctor who had just come to bandage the shopkeeper's body, who called himself "your humble servant" in front of her, had already guessed about 70% of what was going on.
Xu Mubai's fingertips holding the flower pot trembled, "Miss, I don't hit women."
Su Yunyao: ...
You blame the gentleman!
"This isn't called fighting, this is called fighting back, this is called self-defense."
Xu Mubai: ...
"Miss, our Jinjinglou is open for business, so why not just forget it."
Su Yunyao took a deep breath and said, "Since Shopkeeper Xu doesn't bother with you, let this matter go. If there's a next time..."
"Don't worry, girl. There won't be a next time."
After the maid finished speaking, she bowed again and left with the rich woman and her maid.
Without melons to eat, the crowd gathered at the door gradually dispersed.
Su Yunyao then asked, "What happened just now? Why did that woman hit you with a vase?"
Xu Mubai felt an inexplicable stirring in his heart. "Princess, that lady picked out a lot of things in the store and wanted to take them away without paying. She started arguing with the shop assistant, and in a rage, she hit me on the head with a flower pot."
"What!" Su Yunyao's eyes widened almost instantly. "It was clearly their fault first, and they were so arrogant and hurt people. Why did you stop me just now? I thought you were the one who started this and we were in the wrong!"
Xu Mubai was stunned.
He looked towards Su Yunyao with great interest.
So she just slapped that girl in the face and asked someone to cut off her hand, not because she was causing trouble in the store, but simply because her head was hit?
"Princess, I'm fine. I just have some minor injuries. I'll be fine in two days. But those people are from the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister is the father of Concubine Shu. I don't want to embarrass Princess when she enters the palace to see Concubine Shu in the future."
Difficulty?
What could be difficult for her?
But according to the ancestral system.
Although she was the eldest princess, she still had to pay her respects when meeting the emperor's concubine.
But who is she!
At worst, she would never enter the harem, and naturally she would not be able to see Concubine Shu.
She couldn't tell anyone that the emperor had rewarded Concubine Shu with musk, which would prevent her from getting pregnant for the rest of her life.
But this fool actually wronged himself so much for this!
