"you……"
Ji Hongmei didn't want to pay so quickly, but when she saw Shu Jiaying and Yu Chenfeng's expressions of anticipation, she angrily said to Qing'er, "Give the old man a tael of silver, and don't come to this store to buy anything in the future."
"Yes ma'am!"
Qing Er answered loudly as she took out her purse, but just as she was about to let go...
Clang!
The jade bottle fell to the ground and shattered, and Qing'er immediately stood there in a daze.
"Husband... Madam!"
Ji Hongmei was startled at first, but then she quickly snatched the silver from Qing'er's hand and accused the owner of the ceramic shop, "Look at what you're selling. The quality is so poor and you expect me to pay for it? No way!"
Qing'er, let's go!"
Dragging the frightened Qing'er, Ji Hongmei was planning to leave in a pretentious manner, but the boss stopped her.
"Mrs. Zhuang, you can't just leave like this. What do you think will happen to my bottle? You have to pay me first!"
"Your bottle is so bad, and you still want me to pay for it? You are just dreaming."
"No, Madam Zhuang, your maid put the bottle in her sleeve and dropped it on the ground. This has nothing to do with the quality of the bottle. Please don't embarrass me."
"Then go ask my maid for money!"
"No, madam, this has nothing to do with me. It's obviously the bottle that's broken. How could we possibly give him money? If we tell the general about this, he will agree with us."
The owner of the ceramic shop had already made her lose face before, and now after hearing what Qing'er said, Ji Hongmei felt even more justified.
Pointing at the owner of the ceramic shop, Ji Hongmei angrily said, "Are you going to get out of here or not? If you dare to stop me again, and my general finds out about this, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"What will be the consequences?"
This was said by Shu Jiaying, because she really couldn't stand this master and servant who were going too far. She made a gesture to the owner of the ceramic shop to step back.
However, the owner of the ceramic shop did not want to implicate others because of this incident. He considered himself unlucky and said, "Okay, forget it. The bottle was broken in my shop, so I will take the responsibility myself."
"Heh...wouldn't it be better if you just bowed your head earlier?"
Shu Jiaying immediately retorted to Ji Hongmei, "Why should the boss bow to you? It was clearly your maid who broke the bottle. I was just trying to tell your maid that there was a hole in the inner pocket of her sleeve, but she didn't listen to me. Now that you've broken someone else's merchandise, no matter who you tell, you're the one who's wrong."
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little girl? You said my maid broke the bottle. What evidence do you have?"
"What more evidence do you need? My husband and I witnessed this with our own eyes."
"You and your husband..."
Ji Hongmei grinned and said disdainfully, "You two are just from outside the city. What weight do your words carry? But I'm different. I'm the wife of the Luosuo Kingdom's Protector General. If I go out and tell others that the owner of this ceramics shop is trying to blackmail me, do you think they will believe me or you?"
The owner of the ceramic shop was afraid of making things worse, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "Forget it, forget it. I won't pursue this matter anymore. Madam Zhuang... please be magnanimous and forgive me!"
"Oh……"
Before Ji Hongmei could finish her smile, Shu Jiaying asked with a cold face, "The wife of the Protector General? Then I want to know, if we go out, who is more senior, me, the Princess of Chen, or you, the General's wife? After all, I am the Princess, and I don't believe that what I saw with my own eyes will be questioned by others."
