Chapter 221 Bloodstained
The woman sneered.
The shopkeeper's body trembled subconsciously.
"Do you know who she just offended?"
"One is a talented lady who was personally conferred by His Majesty a few days ago. Not only that, she also has a close relationship with Prince Nangong Muchen."
"The other one is the daughter of the right prime minister of the current dynasty."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the other shop assistants looked up in horror.
"Right Prime Minister!"
"Right Prime Minister Lin Xie!"
The woman looked at their expressions and raised the corners of her mouth in disdain.
"Prime Minister Lin is second only to the emperor in the government and has personally visited disaster areas more than a hundred times."
"We have helped countless cities overcome difficulties and rebuild their homes. In the more than 1,200 cities in Daxia, there are a total of 88 merit tablets and hundreds of longevity tablets."
"He personally went to the battlefield, planned strategies, and commanded several battles with Beimo and Dongying. He always won with fewer troops, creating battlefield legends time and time again."
"The border people call him the Iron Wall of Great Xia, the people call him the Living Justice, and your majesty regards him as the most capable general."
"And his most beloved youngest daughter was wronged by Hong Xiu Tian Xiang."
"You're fine."
The woman finished her words as if she was narrating a story, without any emotional ups and downs.
Although she was wearing a veil, her expression could not be seen.
But the clerk, who had just treated his wound, still couldn't open his eyes.
It's like falling into an icy cave.
She was deeply regretful at this moment.
I wish time could go back!
If she knew that group of people had such exaggerated identities, she would never dare to be so arrogant even if she was beaten to death!
The woman glanced at the shopkeeper.
"The two bottles of perfume I just smashed on her are stained with blood. They are dirty now. Wipe them clean and send them to her to make amends."
The shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat, but he dared not disobey.
"Here."
The woman glanced at the injured clerk.
"As for the money, just put it in her account. I don't need to say more."
"in addition."
The woman spoke in a cold tone.
"I haven't been in charge of anything for a long time, and I suddenly discovered that my red-sleeved lady is a little dirty."
"If you can't clean it up within three days, I don't mind helping you."
The woman hinted at something, and the shopkeeper trembled all over.
"Yes, I will do my best..."
The woman looked at everyone deeply, raised her hand, and the tightly closed door was opened.
The woman walked out leisurely.
As if nothing had happened.
The guests in Yunxiaolou did not notice that Hongxiutianxiang suddenly closed and reopened the shop.
Business as usual.
By the time Su Jiuyue and the others returned to the inn, it was already quite late.
Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Su Jiuyue prepared to return to the space to practice as usual.
There was a knock on the door.
"who?"
The waiter's voice came from the door.
"Miss, someone is here to apologize. Is this convenient?"
Su Jiuyue was puzzled.
apologize?
Could it be Wang Caihua and his wife?
Was it because of this that I forced Wang Caihua to sign the agreement?
When it comes to apologizing, probably only Wang Caihua's family would do so.
Su Jiuyue stood up and opened the door.
He raised his eyebrows.
OK, I guessed wrong.
All I saw was a man in black and gold clothes following the waiter.
Wearing the same hat and holding a beautifully crafted wooden box in his hands.
He was about forty years old and stood outside the door respectfully.
Su Jiuyue was curious, it seemed like she didn't know this person?
"you are?"
The waiter brought the person in and tactfully retreated.
The man bowed respectfully, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
"Miss, I am the owner of Hongxiutianxiang. The clerk of this store was blind and offended you, so I came here to apologize to you."
"We have already dealt with the clerk. Please accept the apology and don't harbor any grudges against us."
Su Jiuyue felt confused.
Judging from the shopkeeper's expression, he is not acting but is sincerely apologizing.
This is interesting.
It was just a snobbish clerk who drove away a few customers.
Is it necessary for the shopkeeper to come and apologize in person?
Is this Hong Xiu Tian Xiang making the customers too nervous?
When something is unusual, there must be something wrong!
Su Jiuyue looked at him indifferently.
Thinking in my heart.
There must be some reason that could cause Hongxiutianxiang to change her attitude drastically.
Could it be that someone recognized the talented woman whom he personally conferred upon her?
Shouldn't it?
She was just a small ninth-rank female official with little real power.
Isn't it worth making this trip?
That means he recognized Lin Qingqing!
Although this little girl never said how high her father's official position was.
But look at the proud and dependent look on her face every time she mentions her father.
There are also people who can easily deal with the county magistrate and even transfer the government office. The private orders can only be seen by those in the palace and the third-rank officials!
He is definitely not a small person!
Yes, he must have recognized Lin Qingqing.
Seeing Su Jiuyue remained silent for a long time, staring at him.
The shopkeeper lowered his body again.
"We have no intention of offending you. Miss Lin and the other Miss Lin... Miss Lin, please forgive me. These two bottles of red sleeves are our sincerity."
really!
Su Jiuyue took the box in her hand, which was considered as accepting his apology.
"It's okay, it's just that the clerk is a bit tricky, and it made you run all the way here..."
The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and said fortunately they accepted the two bottles of perfume.
Thinking of his boss's methods, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
"Just don't blame me, girl..."
The work was done and the shopkeeper took his leave.
Su Jiuyue returned to the room and opened the box.
Sure enough, I saw two bottles of Hongxiutianxiang lying inside.
It’s really a generous deal!
but……
Su Jiuyue frowned.
Occupation in previous life.
It made her extremely sensitive to the smell of blood.
As soon as she opened the box, she smelled a scent of blood.
The shopkeeper apologized respectfully and gave gifts.
Why did he send two more bottles of blood-stained Hongxiutianxiang?
I didn't see anything wrong in his eyes...
What exactly is the intention?
Su Jiuyue couldn't figure it out and was too lazy to think about it.
After all, I got two bottles of Hongxiutianxiang for free, which is not bad.
I saved more than fifty taels of silver!
He flashed into the space and carefully compared his own perfume with that of Hongxiutianxiang.
……
Silent all night.
Because the day after tomorrow is the old lady’s birthday.
Su Jiuyue decided to visit Liu Ruyan first.
I felt a little embarrassed for not visiting her the first time I came to the city.
Lin Qingqing and Li were naturally going to go together.
Su Quanxiao expressed his desire to stay in the inn to take care of Xuan Ge'er.
After breakfast, Su Jiuyue and her group went directly to the Wu Mansion to deliver the visiting card.
When Liu Ruyan heard that Su Jiuyue and the others had arrived, she could no longer sit still.
Run to the door to greet him.
He pulled Li affectionately and walked inside.
"How long in advance did I send someone to deliver the letter? You just arrived today! Don't you miss me at all? You are so heartless!"
Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyebrows were deliberately raised.
Pouting and muttering in dissatisfaction.
Li smiled gently.
"Sister, you are wronging us. We came here as soon as we finished the things on hand without any delay."
Lin Qingqing also pouted.
"That's right, Aunt Liu, I miss you so much! Let me see your wound! Is it really healed?"
