The Prince's Humen's Wife

Chapter 55
Steward Tian knelt on the ground long ago to wipe off his cold sweat, and hurriedly kowtowed to admit his mistake, "Yes, Mrs. Madam, I really bought the incense powder of the empress! There will be no fakes!"

"What's going on! Tell me clearly! How did this batch of goods come from!"

The eldest lady, who has always been as calm as water and gentle and decent, even when she gets angry on weekdays, she always smiles. Now she is trembling with anger, and Fu's mother caressed her back again and again, secretly worried.

"A while ago, a mysterious person bought all the goods of Suji Xiangfen Niangniang. I thought it was for a wealthy family, but it turned out that the person was also a roaster. He negotiated with several buyers, including Lanfu... "

The eldest lady held the teacup that Fu's mother had just handed over, paused her hand, and asked sharply: "And then!"

"Of course...then... Madam, you said that you must keep the incense powder shop, I, I, I... I went to talk with each other a few times, and each negotiated the price. Although the price is higher than Su Ji's selling price, But at that time, because there was no Xiangfen Niangniang in the city, the price had increased more than ten times. I thought about bringing in this batch of goods. If I sold them according to the market price, I would not only make a fortune, but also make up for the previous losses. So everything...so..."

Shopkeeper Tian came to the back for no reason.

The shopfronts of the Li Mansion are all descendants of the family that have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have an intricate relationship with the family. The shopkeeper Tian’s mother is the old man’s wet nurse, so he is also the old man’s baby brother, and even the old lady thinks highly of them. Branch, that's why he's in charge of the Li family's incense powder shop, which has had a booming business in the past few years. If he pissed, even if he sold his old bones, he wouldn't be able to afford so much money!
The eldest lady was already very angry, she raised the teacup in her hand and threw it over. She tried this trick time and again, but now she wants to stretch out her hand and strangle this useless slave!
"Keep talking! What happened next!"

"Later, someone bought the face powder back. Who knew that it was not only inferior, but also caused a rash after using it. Today, someone came to make a fuss! Now the shop is full of people asking to return the product!"

The eldest lady narrowed her eyes and asked, "Where is the person who sold your incense powder back then?"

"I can't find it..."

"Is it really the person who bought incense powder from Su Ji?"

Shopkeeper Tian nodded again and again, "It's him, it's really him! I even asked Boss Su in person, I can't be wrong!"

By now, the eldest lady understood, and Wuzhishan slapped it on the table again, "We have been tricked!"

"The servant thinks so too! Could it be the Lan family?"

Shopkeeper Tian thought, after all, he was moved when he saw the Lan family negotiating with that person. Later, they didn't make a deal, but ended up getting it on their own.

The lady thought about it, and thought it was unlikely, they still had business dealings with the Lan family, Su Ji was the most profitable person in Zhenjiang now, destroying their incense powder shop would bring no one and benefit, but instead lose an ally.

Seeing that Mrs. Tian didn't speak, shopkeeper Tian couldn't help but said anxiously: "Mr... Mrs., what should I do about this matter? Do you want to report to the authorities? There are still so many people waiting to return the goods..."

"Report, report, report...what report!" The lady was so angry that she almost stuttered, "What's the use of reporting this to the official, they have already run away! Besides, hasn't the face of our Li family been thrown in? If the report to the official , the reputation of our Li family’s other shops will be ruined! Useless stuff!”

"Yes yes yes... all slaves are useless, slaves... slaves are willing to die to apologize!"

"What's the use of death! If you can die without losing the money, I'd have wrung your head off!"

Da Furen really had that impulse, and was so frightened that shopkeeper Tian was thinking whether to pretend to be dizzy and escape the catastrophe first, but after escaping the first day of the junior high school, he could not escape the fifteenth day. Da Furen also knows this truth, and it is useless to get angry now. It's better to think about what to do next!
"How much money is left in the account!"

"There are less than 5000 taels of silver..."

The eldest lady told herself not to be angry or angry, but when she heard that the silver was less than 5000 taels, she stood up angrily again, "You... are very good, when this matter is resolved, go back to the countryside ! Don't block me here!"

"Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie!"

"Don't thank you so early. I withheld your pension money, and I used it to subsidize the return of the goods. I don't care what you think of to settle this matter. In short, we must do one thing. We can't damage our reputation, and we can't Let the old lady and the old man know that if any news leaks out, I will let you move your head! The money in the account will be used first, and it is not enough for you to figure out what to do!"

The lady stood up angrily, and when she was about to leave, she still kicked shopkeeper Tian and cursed: "Useless bastard!"

Shopkeeper Tian didn't feel any pain when he got kicked, he just knelt on the ground and sighed. He had already thought about how to calm the situation. In this way, the loss is really heavy, and now the city is full of disturbances, it is impossible to hide it!

He couldn't think of any other way, the monk could not run away from the temple, and the shopkeeper Tian was a domestic slave, even if he ran to the ends of the earth, he would be a wanted criminal registered by the government.

Hey... shopkeeper Tian moaned and sighed, even wanting to die, who on earth is so vicious and poisonous to the Li family, this is to make them go bankrupt!
Back in Xinlan Court, the eldest lady was so angry that she lay on the Arhat bed and beat her chest repeatedly, "What kind of crimes have I committed? One after another, nothing goes my way!"

Fu's mother brought tea again, and when she saw the eldest lady like this, she stood aside and listened silently, allowing her to vent out the anger in her heart, otherwise she would be suffocated.

The lady was not angry enough, so she went to hammer the head of the bed again, crying until she was choked up, but no tears were shed, "First, there was a mistake in Jinniang's marriage, and the old man has no face with me, and now the incense powder shop has lost its business again. He still hasn't divorced me!"

"Nonsense!" Fu's mother couldn't listen to these words anymore, "How can I just do this for the business of a shop, and let outsiders know how much I don't know how to chew my tongue! How much money does a shop have? If you lose it, you will lose it." , our Li family is not short of that little money!"

"Mom, you don't understand. The incense powder shop is already the most profitable in our family. Now it has collapsed and lost money, but the loss is not small. The crops in the village have not been good in the past few years. Now we are hiding it from the old man and waiting for him. You know, you must be fighting with me, my uncle and my aunt are all waiting for me to make a mistake, so that I can take Zhongshou back! He even has an excuse to bring back that little bitch outside!"

Fu's mother sighed: "The elder is not an indifferent person!"
