Daughter of the prosperous age: Don't pretend to be stupid

Chapter 296

For so many years, she has been strict with herself in order to truly integrate into the circle of high society and prove that she, a concubine, can also become a real noble lady like those prostitutes.

However, today's incident completely ruined her years of hard work.This matter was even more serious than Mo Qiushuang's divorce by the third prince.After all, the reason why Mo Qiushuang and the third prince broke off the engagement was because of bad people.

But this time?The gold was brought by her...

I'm afraid that in less than half a day, the news that she used fake gold to pay people's bills will spread throughout the circle of noble ladies in the capital, and those noble ladies will definitely join forces again to laugh at her.

At this moment, the eldest lady hated herself a little. Isn't it just a few gold ingots? Why is she so worried about the shopkeeper acting as a ghost, so she ran out to supervise?
The eldest lady hated herself, but she hated Mo Qiushuang even more.

No money is no money, why use fake gold to make yourself happy, and make yourself ashamed for this sake.

The noise outside was getting louder and louder. Many people heard that Mrs. Jingguo was here, and wanted to see the honor of the lady. The staff of the silk and satin shop hurried out to stop those people from rushing in.

Da Furen's face was constantly sweating, one veil was almost drenched, Madam Li hurriedly took out another veil, seeing Madam Li, Da Furen's eyes lit up.

"Mrs. Guogong, please give me an answer. When will you give me this account?" The businessman Li squeezed past the clerk's interception and rushed into the shop, followed by others.

"Mrs. Guogong, you respect the power of the Duke's government, but you can't fool people like this!" The so-called people are too bold, and many people shouted outside.

"That's right, fortunately this little brother is going to deposit it into a bank note, otherwise he wouldn't know if he was cheated."

"That's right, who would have thought that such a big official in Duke Jing's mansion would do such a thing."

As soon as the discussion outside was out of control, when the crowd was excited, a loud slap suddenly came from the back room.

"You lowly maidservant, it's in vain that I trust you so much, you can do such a thing!" Da Furen's voice was full of grief, indignation and sadness, and everyone was taken aback.Then I saw the eldest lady dragging Nanny Li out of the back room.

Li Momo covered her face with one hand, and looked at the eldest lady in a daze. She didn't expect that the wife would take the blame on her without even discussing it with her.

"My little brother, I'm really sorry. It's not that I Jingguo's government is bullying others, but this lowly servant girl secretly exchanged gold and kept me in the dark. If I hadn't come to the store with her on a whim today, I'm afraid it would be a shame. It's still unclear." The eldest lady said to Li with a sincere attitude.

"Ma'am!" Nanny Li yelled weakly, covering her face.

She is also in her 50s, not only has a son and daughter-in-law, but even a grandson who is several years old.She used to be the envied one among many servants, but now she has to bear this stigma for Da Furen.

"Shut up!" The eldest lady turned her head and glared at Nanny Li, "It's all because of you, and I almost ruined the reputation of Duke Jinguo's mansion. Look at how I will deal with you when I go back!"

Nanny Li lowered her head slowly, her tears fell to the ground drop by drop, and she cried after a while, "I don't dare, I beg Madam to spare this old slave once."

Since Da Furen has already held this basin of dirty water on her head, she can only make things right for Da Furen.

"It turned out that this old thing was causing trouble."

"Let's just say, how could it be possible that the Duke's Mansion can't even come up with such a small amount of silver."
