After receiving this reassurance, the owner of the ceramic shop was no longer humble. He stood up straight, ready for Ji Hongmei to admit her mistake to him at any time.
Five minutes passed, but Ji Hongmei still didn't speak.
This time Shu Jiaying didn't say anything, and Yu Chenfeng stood up.
"What's wrong, Madam Zhuang? You did something wrong yourself. Is it really that difficult for you to apologize to others? If so, I would like to share this matter with the ministers at the court another morning. I believe many ministers should be able to distinguish right from wrong. However, I think General Zhuang might not look so good by then."
If this matter were to be brought to the court and Zhuang Tianming were to lose face, Ji Hongmei knew that Zhuang Tianming would definitely not forgive her. She no longer considered the issue of face and immediately bowed her head and admitted her fault to the owner of the ceramic shop, saying, "I'm sorry, boss. I was wrong about this matter. Please forgive me."
"It's okay, it's okay. But I have a request. I run a small business, so I hope Madam Zhuang can forget this unpleasant incident, okay?"
Ji Hongmei just wanted to leave as soon as possible. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I promise you. Can I leave now?"
The owner of the ceramic shop glanced at Shu Jiaying. Seeing that Shu Jiaying did not object, he said, "Mrs. Zhuang, please take care."
“…”
Ji Hongmei did not respond. She quickly left the porcelain shop, and Qing'er followed closely behind her.
As soon as Ji Hongmei left, the owner of the ceramic shop clasped his hands together and thanked Shu Jiaying and Yu Chenfeng, saying, "Thank you so much for your help, Prince Chen and Princess Chen. I am truly grateful."
"Boss, it's just a small matter. By the way, do you still have the bottle that Madam Zhuang liked just now?"
"Princess Chen, do you still want that bottle? But that bottle was just made casually by our workers, and it's not a fine product. I have a more exquisite small bottle in there, and I think Princess Chen should like it."
Hearing Shu Jiaying's tone, the owner of the ceramic shop had probably guessed Shu Jiaying's preference. He took Shu Jiaying to the inner hall and took out more than a dozen beautiful small bottles of different sizes. The tallest of these bottles was fifteen centimeters, and the smallest was five or six centimeters, but the patterns and colors were much more grand than the jade bottle that Shu Jiaying had seen outside before.
The owner of the porcelain shop also spoke frankly, "Actually, Madam Zhuang didn't fancy the broken jade vase just now, but after leaving the inner hall, I don't know why she changed her mind, because she clearly liked the white porcelain vase with the peony pattern carved on it."
The owner of the ceramic shop handed Shu Jiaying a 15-centimeter-high white porcelain vase with a peony pattern.
After Shu Jiaying took a closer look, she also felt that the bottle was of top quality in terms of both workmanship and color. She asked, "Boss, how much is this bottle?"
The owner of the ceramic shop shook his head.
"Princess Chen, mentioning money is too polite. You and Prince Chen helped me just now. Consider this white porcelain peony vase a welcome gift from me to you, Princess!"
"How can that be? This bottle is obviously much more expensive than the jade bottle just now. Besides, I don't just want one. If I decide, I'll need at least a hundred."
"More than a hundred?"
The owner of the ceramic shop was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would get such a big order. Suddenly he remembered that he had forgotten to entertain Shu Jiaying and Yu Chenfeng, so he hurriedly called the waiter of the shop.
