Chapter 141: Bao Rijin's Fraud
Chunyue Chunxiang took out the letter and read it only after she arrived at the inner courtyard.
I only heard Chunxiang excitedly say:
"You don't know, when Brother Tiezhu brought back Master's letter from Zuixianlou, I felt like I was dreaming."
Seeing Chunyue opening the letter, Chunxiang couldn't help but stretch her head to take a look:
"My master's letter to me said they've already settled down in Jiangzhou and opened two very profitable shops. He also asked when they would call us over and told me to hurry up and train trustworthy people to replace me!"
Chunxiang was chattering on the side, and Chunyue on the other side was reading the letter written to her by Gu Feixue with tears in her eyes.
"Chunyue, I am your master. How have you been in Liangcheng these past two years?"
Just seeing this, Chunyue was already in tears.
Chunyue was worried and confused after not hearing from the Gu family for two years.
In other words, not only Chunyue, but all the villagers in Anju Village were confused because of the departure of the Gu family.
The villagers just thought that the master and others were dead, and they were confused and sad.
After a long period of grief, they finally came to their senses. However, they knew that their master and the others were not dead, but had just gone to another place. They didn't know how they were doing now.
They were also worried about not being able to take care of the business. Although they had completed the tasks assigned to them by their master in the past two years, they always felt empty inside.
The content of Chunyue's letter was similar to Chunxiang's. She also did not allow them to reply, saying that they might come back after Gu Tingchuan finished his exams.
Seeing this, the two of them couldn't help but look forward to the day they would go to Jiangzhou.
As the master said in the letter, the two of them burned it after reading it.
Just as I was about to chat for a while, I heard an anxious voice from the front:
"Oh no, boss, someone is causing trouble in the shop."
Chunyue's expression immediately returned to her mature and capable appearance. She didn't look like a twelve-year-old girl at all, but rather quite imposing.
Chunxiang frowned and followed to see.
In the past two years, Zuixianlou and the largest cloth shop in the city, Chunjia, have been extremely caring towards Jinxiu, and none of her colleagues dared to cause trouble. What happened today?
I walked quickly to the shop in the front yard and saw some people gathered at the door of the shop. There was an old woman with several half-grown girls in the shop, confronting the clerk.
The half-grown girls looked timid and were forcibly pulled by the old woman's arms to reason with her.
"Look at this. I've applied your powder and got a rash. And you still say you don't use inferior things to fool the people. What is this?"
The clerk's face turned pale and he wanted to explain to the passersby watching at the door, but behind him he heard Chunyue's cold smile:
"What rash? Let me see it."
Everyone looked towards Chunyue after hearing this. The clerk ran to Chunyue as if he had escaped from the sea of suffering.
"Boss, you're finally here! That old woman insisted that the food in our store gave her a rash!"
Bao Rijin was a little surprised when he saw Chunyue.
How could this Jinxiu shopkeeper be so young? Why did she look familiar?
Bao Rijin didn't know Chunyue, but Chunyue recognized her at first sight.
Three years ago, the master bought her, Chunxiang Qian'er and others from the Bao family's dental shop, so that they would not be sold to landlords as child brides by Bao Rijin at the age of eight or nine.
They regard Gu Feixue as their master and also as their adoptive parents.
Even though she promised her master to forget the past, when she saw Bao Rijin again, Chunyue could still recall the helplessness and fear they felt at that time.
Chunxiang also obviously recognized Bao Rijin, and her eyes immediately turned cold.
If it was someone else, then it might really be like what the master said, that they were allergic to rouge, but if it was Bao Rijin, it was definitely fake.
The other party is a greedy villain, there is no way he would buy such expensive rouge for these girls who are going to be sold!
"Look at this rash on my arm, how creepy..."
Bao Rijin wanted to make a big deal out of it, but Chunyue sneered and took a bottle from the side. She poured some white liquid into her palm, then took the girl's arm and wiped it.
Bao Rijin showed a hint of pride:
"A rash is a rash. How could I lie to you? I'm telling you, if you can't cure their rash, you have to pay them money, or use rouge to cover it up. Otherwise, I, an old woman, will sue you to the government even if I die!"
Rub it, rub it, it's a wonder it can be wiped off! She used a special ointment to paint it, even soap can't wipe it off!
However, before Bao Zhijin's smile could widen, she saw a scene that stunned her.
"Look! The rash on the child's hand is gone!"
Passersby were instantly in an uproar and started talking about it.
Chunyue looked at the child who was being pointed at, touched her head which almost fell to the ground and said:
"Girl, don't be afraid. I know she ordered you to do this."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Bao Rijin, who was exposed on the spot and looked panicked.
"What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't know anything about this. These damn kids tricked me. I was also kept in the dark!"
Seeing that the other party was still trying to argue and put the blame on those innocent children, Chunxiang finally couldn't stand it anymore. She said angrily:
"You're such a disgusting bitch! After all these years, you're still so disgusting! Back then, you were such a scoundrel, selling a child under ten to a landlord in his seventies or eighties as a concubine!"
"Now they're trying to use these kids to scam people out of money in shops. Do you really think there's no law in this world?!"
Bao Rijin was scolded by Chunxiang, and his face turned blue and red, and he started to argue:
"Who cheated me out of money? I was also cheated by these damn girls. Besides, this is my business. If the families of these children cherished them, why would they sell them to me, Bao Ya Po, for silver? Selling them to those masters, wouldn't it be better to live a luxurious life than being a servant?"
When Bao Rijin said this, everyone was stunned. Chun Yue Chun Xiang was not good at speaking, and even less good at arguing. Although she knew that Bao Rijin was quibbling, she couldn't find words to refute for a while.
Bao Rijin then noticed something. She looked carefully at Chunyue and Chunxiang, and suddenly she was stunned.
"You are Haruka Haruzuki?!"
Impossible! These two damn girls were clearly sold as servants, how could they possibly become the owners of one of the most prestigious brocade feathered clothing shops in the city?!
Chunxiang's face was dark and she didn't want to respond to Bao Rijin at all.
"You are Chunxiang and Chunyue! Your parents sold you to me for silver, and later you were bought by Gu Feixue from Anju Village. You are clearly slaves, how could you possibly become the shopkeepers of Jinxiu?"
They weren't afraid of having their origins known; their master had said that origin was the least important thing about a person. But they also didn't want to get entangled with someone like Bao Rijin. She couldn't sleep if she looked at her for even a second.
Bao Rijin's questioning tone completely made Chunyue lose her patience. Everyone only heard Chunyue's cold voice:
"Since the rash is fake, buddy, get out!"
Having said that, Chunyue was about to drive them away, but she didn't expect that Bao Rijin suddenly widened his eyes and looked at them.
