Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

As Zhang Yang spoke, he wanted to hold Ru Niangzi's hand, but Ru Niangzi dodged him.

He touched the hairpin on his head, covered his lips and coughed lightly, and said awkwardly: "Madam Ru, wait for me to come back."

After he said that, he turned around and walked downstairs, and his flattering and gentle face became gloomy the moment he turned around.

Zhang Yang went downstairs and Shen Fugui could no longer stand.

He rolled up his sleeves and followed closely behind with a fierce look: "I want to see who dares to bully Miss Jiang while I am here."

Miss Jiang is his reserved fiancée, and she cannot be bullied by anyone, even by her cousin!

Jiang Yin waited there with her hands folded. Zhang Yang ran down and tried to pull her, but was blocked by Wang Heng.

"Ayin, stop messing around." Zhang Yang didn't care about Wang Heng's actions, but lowered his voice and said, "If you continue to mess around, it will also be a disgrace to the Jiang family. The tea picking season is coming soon, you don't want the Jiang family to lose its reputation, right?"

"Reputation?" Jiang Yin sneered, "I wasn't the one who stole the things, so why should I be afraid?"

Zhang Yang was using the wrong method to threaten her. Her Jiang family's reputation had long been ruined by Zhang Yuanzhi and his son, and besides, she had done nothing wrong.

Reputation, in the face of power and interests, is the most insignificant thing.

Otherwise, how could her Jiang family, which has been kind and charitable for generations, have fallen to such a state?

"Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit." Zhang Yang smiled, but his words were vicious, "Without our Zhang family, how would an orphan like you survive!"

He continued, "Do you think others will help you without asking for anything in return like my Zhang family? Don't dream!"

He didn't believe that Jiang Yin, a girl who had just come of age, could support such a huge family business. Sooner or later, she would have to ask them for help.

Ha, no reward. Jiang Yin sneered in her heart, what the Zhang family wanted was all the assets of her Jiang family.

"Shameless bastard." Shen Fugui, who had just approached, heard this and immediately retorted, "Why can't Miss Jiang live? The other four major families in Mengshan are not vegetarians. Can they not protect Miss Jiang?"

Zhang Yang was not to be outdone and retorted: "You protected him so well that you even killed his parents?"

Don't think that he didn't know who harmed his uncle and aunt. It was just that this was exactly what he wanted, and since there was no evidence, he didn't investigate further.

"Stop slandering me here." Shen Fugui jumped up and said, "If I were to say it, it was your Zhang family who did it. Everyone in Yazhou City knows what your Zhang family is planning."

As if he wanted others to approve of him, he said to the crowd, "Don't you think so? Zhang's father and son even stole their in-laws' belongings. I wonder how long they have been coveting their property."

However, spectators are just spectators after all, so how could they get into trouble?

After hearing his words, everyone took a step back. They neither refuted nor agreed, but just looked at Zhang Yang with ambiguous eyes.

Zhang Yang looked up and found that Ru Niangzi was looking at him with scrutiny. He got angry and punched Shen Fugui in the eye.

"Nonsense, I'll beat you to death."

Shen Fugui was not someone to be trifled with. He threw the fan away and punched Zhang Yang back.

The two of them started fighting each other with punches, and the flowers on their heads fell to the ground and were trampled into pieces.

Shen Fugui had a servant who immediately joined the fight when he saw his master being beaten.

Zhang Yang's bad luck was that he didn't bring a servant with him. He had to fight alone and soon his face was bruised and swollen.

Seeing that he could not get any more useful information out of him, Jiang Yin bowed to the yamen runners beside him who were ignoring him and said, "Thank you, gentlemen."

Upon hearing this, a group of yamen runners stepped forward and separated the three people who were wrestling with each other, as if they had just seen a fight.

At the same time, the maid beside Ru Niangzi came to Jiang Yin holding a box.

She bowed to Jiang Yin and said, "Miss Jiang, this is what my wife is passing on to you. All the things that Mr. Zhang gave to my wife are here. Miss Jiang, please take a look. Is there anything missing?"

Jiang Yin was slightly surprised, then looked up and nodded slightly to Ru Niangzi upstairs to express her gratitude. Then she took the box and opened it before Zhang Yang, who was immersed in the pain of being beaten, could react.

After counting, she found that all the lost items were there.

She couldn't help but sigh that Zhang Yang was really sincere to this lady Ru and gave her everything.

"My dear." Xiao Luo said happily, "Everything is here."

Upon hearing this, Ru Niangzi's maid bowed and said, "Since Miss Jiang has counted everything, I will go back."

"Wait a minute~"

The maid was about to turn around and go back upstairs, but was stopped by Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin quickly took out her mother's belongings from the box and wrapped them in a handkerchief. She then closed the box and handed it back to the maid.

She smiled and said, "Thank you Madam Ru for me. My mother's belongings have been found. As for the rest, just give them to Madam Ru as a thank you gift. Please pass them to Madam Ru for me. Thank you."

Strictly speaking, these things have long been in Ru Niangzi's pocket and are considered Ru Niangzi's things.

But if the lady didn't hide anything, she would take it all and return it to her. Jiang Yin accepted this favor.

However, Ru Niangzi was not a free person after all, and half of the property she obtained had to be handed over to the brothel owner, so she couldn't make things difficult for her.

It was just some jewelry, so it was fine as a gift. But this time it was given in her name, not in a ostentatious way.

The maid was surprised for a moment, then took the box, thanked Jiang Yin and went back upstairs.

The things were found, and the bailiffs arrested the troublemakers and left with satisfaction.

Before leaving, Shen Fugui winked at Jiang Yin and said, "Miss Jiang, don't worry. This injury is nothing to be afraid of. I'll be back soon. Don't believe what that bastard says."

"You are the bastard." Zhang Yang raised his foot and was about to kick him, but was carried away by the yamen runners on both sides.

Jiang Yin looked at them indifferently without saying a word. He just turned his head and gave Yan Ge'er a look, indicating him to follow.

Since someone came out late at night to help her solve the problem, she naturally had to express her gratitude.

The excitement died down and the onlookers continued to have fun. Jiang Yin was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the madam who came downstairs.

Jiang Yin said calmly, "What else?"

She glanced at the mutton-fat jade bracelet on the madam's wrist. It was one of the jewels she had just given to Ru Niangzi.

This bracelet is very valuable, but unfortunately it fell into the hands of a brothel owner.

The madam unconsciously pulled her sleeves down to cover her bracelet, then smiled and said, "Miss Jiang is also an honored guest of our Zui Chun Feng. Since you have given me so many gifts, why don't you go to Madam Ru's room and listen to some music?"

Seeing that she was unmoved, the madam continued, "Don't worry, Miss Jiang, today we will only receive you as a distinguished guest."

She finally realized that this Miss Jiang was a generous person. It didn't matter whose money she earned. Miss Jiang was rich and generous, who wouldn't like her?
