Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow

The big man who had just held Zhou Youwei also immediately put away his fierce look and smiled flatteringly: "Master Zhou, do you want to go back and play with us guys again? You will definitely win this time."

Perhaps it was because his attitude changed too quickly that everyone present felt that the person who had threatened Zhou Youwei just now was someone else, not him.

The people in the gambling house are like this, they only care about money and not people. As long as you have money in your hand, you are the boss. Once your money is gone, like Zhou Youwei, who still owes money, they are the boss.

They had seen many gamblers from a family like Zhou Youwei, and they thought it would take some effort to get back the 1,500 taels of silver he owed to the gambling house. Unexpectedly, they got it today without any effort.

Zhou Youwei had the money and listened to their compliments. He felt very proud again: "Then I will borrow your good words. Let's go! Today, I must win it back."

As expected, the money was not earned by him, so he didn't feel bad about spending it, but the person in charge felt very bad about it.

Seeing that they were about to leave, the senior manager also followed them out of the shop.

When they walked out onto the street, the manager said loudly, "Master Zhou, our boss said that you have no relationship with her. We gave you the money because of your stepmother, the Duke's wife. This shop has been doing business for more than ten years, and we only have this little money in the account. Now you have taken it all. I am afraid we will have to close the shop. If you need money again in the future, the shop will not be able to give it to you. You should go to the Duke's wife!"

The high-ranking official's voice was full of energy. People around heard the noise and thought it was a quarrel, so they all came over to watch the fun. When he finished speaking, the road was already full of people.

A few heads popped out from the door of the shop, which was originally half closed.

Zhou Youwei didn't expect him to yell like that in the street, so he immediately turned around and said viciously: "You old man, what are you yelling about? Go back to your shop."

Someone in the crowd couldn't stand his attitude and said, "Hey, you're cursing after having a full meal!"

"Yeah yeah……"

"What a piece of shit..."

"What do you know? If you have nothing to do, just get out of here. Get out... Don't block my way. If you block my way, I will make you pay for it." Zhou Youwei pushed the crowd away while cursing and walked towards Yongsheng Street.

When the senior manager saw him walking away, he bowed to the crowd and said, "There is not a penny left in this shop. It's all in the hands of Mr. Zhou. Our boss is filial, even though Mr. Zhou is just the brother of her stepmother, the Duke's wife's sister-in-law. But in order to save the Duke's wife's face, she would rather close the shop and give all the money to Mr. Zhou."

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed: "Your boss is so filial at such a young age..."

"What's wrong with being unfilial? What good can you get from living under someone else's thumb? Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to close the shop rather than offend this distant relative..."

"That's right. This is a good shop. It's time to make money. Who would want to close the shop? Who would want to give up the money? Don't you think so..."

A group of people echoed: "Yes, yes..."

Some of the younger women, perhaps because they had suffered from the harem, wiped their tears and said, "Ah, we were forced to do this. This shop that my stepmother had held for more than ten years was just returned to the owner, and immediately this uncle showed up and asked for money all day long. Doesn't anyone know?"

"Now that you mention it, it's quite a big deal. Didn't the incident of Miss Jiang pushing her sister into the water cause a lot of uproar in the capital? I heard that this young lady was punished to go to the manor for five years because of this incident, and she just returned home... Could it be that someone did this on purpose?"

The women standing by seemed to have opened up their Ren and Du meridians and knew some big secret, and they all exchanged glances with each other.

One of them even continued, "It's fine if those grown men don't know. We are all used to seeing the tricks used in the harem! Just look at how Miss Jiang would rather close her shop than offend her uncle. I guess Miss Jiang would be even more afraid to offend the Duke's wife, right?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, you don't say..." A group of people were making random guesses.

The senior management did not try to stop them and just let them whisper to each other, making the matter more and more outrageous.

"Alas, since ancient times, children without their mothers are like straw, and everyone wants to step on them. True and false, false and true, the only word that can make people feel pity, so pitiful..." An old woman said with emotion.

After hearing this, everyone felt really sorry for Miss Jiang, who had a bad reputation.

Seeing that everyone had finished talking and the neighbors had listened to what they had said, Gao Shishi bowed to everyone again and said, "Thank you for your kind words. Our boss has said that we don't know if the Wu's grain store can continue to operate. In order to make a living and not delay the payment of wages to the shop assistants, anyone who buys grain from the Wu's grain store today will be charged one tael and eight cents per stone, while stocks last."

"Oh, is there such a good news? Is your boss really Miss Jiang from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?" someone in the crowd asked.

They really couldn't believe that this young lady with a disgraced reputation could have such a kind heart.

"Yes, our boss is Miss Jiang Luo, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. This Wu's grain shop was the dowry shop of the eldest daughter's biological mother, the late wife of the Duke of Zhenguo." The senior manager raised his voice.

"Is it really that young lady? Oh, how pitiful...how pitiful..."

"Then let's buy more food today and keep the Wu's food store open. This will also be a help to this young lady."

Someone immediately nodded in agreement: "I think it's okay. This is all food. We can't throw away if we buy more, but it will take longer to eat. If it can help the shop stay open, it will be a good deed."

When everyone heard this, they all agreed and followed the leaders into the shop.

"Please, please... Hurry, Yuanbao, tell the waiters to serve the guests. Don't neglect the guests."

Yuanbao replied with a happy look in his eyes: "Okay, I'll take charge of the affairs." After that, he quickly entered the shop to greet everyone.

The senior manager stood at the door of the shop, watching the crowds of people in the shop, and he kept sighing in his heart: After all, his young lady is from the Wu family, and her ingenious mind is really amazing...

Today, no matter what kind of trouble Zhou Youwei got into, his young lady gave him a solution.

He really didn't expect that the young lady had actually guessed every step of the way...

From the beginning, she kept her troops inactive and set a trap for Zhou Youwei to fall into. Now, she has exposed the fact that Zhou Youwei wanted money. People feel sorry for her and sympathize with her, and even start to help her spontaneously.

I will close the shop today, let everyone speculate wildly, and finally make Qin famous.

In the future, whether it is Zhou Youwei or Qin, if they go out to complain about taking over the shop, I am afraid no one will believe them.

Next, it’s almost time to close the net…

When the manager thought that he could get back double the money he spent, he was immediately delighted. He walked quickly to the counter, took out the abacus, and waited for everyone to come to him to settle the bill.

When the shop was almost done, he called out, "Yuanbao, come here."

Yuanbao hurriedly trotted over to his side: "Master Gao, what do you want?"

"Here, take this silver. Go find your old acquaintances, the more the better, and ask them to help me find out something." The senior manager handed him a purse. The purse was heavy with ten taels of silver in it.
