Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty

"Manager Liu, you better tell me the truth as soon as possible, otherwise I will make the judgment myself!"

Liu Chenggong's face turned red and black, and then black and red, and he almost vomited blood.

Whether he gave the shop away or gave him money, it would undoubtedly be cutting into his flesh. Besides, most of the money he earned from selling fake goods was squandered. If he can no longer hold on to the egg-laying chickens at home, how will he live in the future?

After a long stalemate, Liu Chenggong didn't say anything, but Liu Yunqing sighed, as if he regretted it.

"Alas, Manager Liu is still my father after all, and I still remember that he loved me in the past. It is really not my intention to have to go through this now."

"How about this, with all of you as witnesses, for a period of three months, my father and I will each run a bookstore. Whoever earns more at that time will admit defeat and give the bookstore to the winner, and I will never regret it."

"This can be regarded as preserving the old shop on Gaotou Street intact. I still remember the time when my family worked hard together to run the old shop. I really can't bear to see it fall apart like this."

Liu Yunqing was so decisive before, why is he so soft-hearted and makes such a decision now? If he loses, he will lose both the store and his money!

Many people felt sorry for Liu Yunqing, thinking that this young lady was too young and ignorant.

No matter how incompetent Shopkeeper Liu is, he has eaten much more salt than her. How could he really lose to a little girl?

Even Qi held her daughter back and tried to persuade her in a low voice.

"Yun Qing, you absolutely cannot do this. The bookstore next to the Imperial College is your hard work. How can you just give it to him so easily?"

Liu Chenggong was originally skeptical and did not dare to agree, fearing that the rebellious girl Liu Yunqing had set up another trap for him.

But when she heard everyone feeling sorry for her and Qi repeatedly trying to persuade her, she realized there was nothing she should hesitate about!

Just bet!

"Since you still remember the friendship we had in the past, and my father is not a cruel person, how about this? You can take charge of the shop next to the Imperial College. You opened that shop yourself, and you can use all the employees easily. It can't be considered that my father is bullying you."

Liu Chenggong spoke in a sanctimonious manner, but in fact he was taking advantage of the situation.

The bookstore on Gaotou Street has been open for twenty years and has a good reputation. All the customers are regulars. Even if it is not run carefully, it still makes a considerable profit every month.

Moreover, the price of buying and selling shops was not expensive at that time, so three rooms were bought at once, connected together to make a bookshop, and there was a large yard at the back for the woodblock print masters to work and rest.

The bookstore next to the Imperial College has only been in business for three or four years, and its store is only half the size of the old store. Due to its small size, all the books sold in the store were transferred from the old store.

If Liu Chenggong really took over the old store, wouldn't he be putting his lifeline in his hands? Once Liu Chenggong interfered and blocked the source of books, how could he open a new store?

Liu Yunqing naturally couldn't let Liu Chenggong hold him back, so he immediately suggested that the woodblock printing masters also temporarily allocate half of their production to the new store.

Liu Chenggong was reluctant, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was taking advantage of the situation, so he quickly agreed to it, to prevent Liu Yunqing from regretting it and forcing him to give him the money.

Since both parties had reached an agreement, Lord Zhang asked someone to sign a written document as evidence, and three months later he asked both parties to bring their accounts to the government office to fulfill the bet.

If anyone falsifies the account books again, even if he wins, it will be counted as a loss.

This one is specifically aimed at Liu Chenggong.

After the matter was settled, Cheng Li returned with his men and seized from Yu Lian the account book of Liu Chenggong's reselling of counterfeit goods and several fake antiques that had not yet been sold.

Seeing Liu Chenggong looking so unlucky, Liu Yunqing felt happy.

"Mother, you still have to watch Liu Chenggong suffer. According to the law, he should be whipped at least fifty times!"

Qi thought about it and finally shook his head.

"Forget it. He and I have already divorced. From now on, we are on our own. Whether he lives or dies is none of my business. We should go back quickly and pack up our belongings and leave home as soon as possible."

"I don't want to live in this Liu residence for even one more day."

Liu Yunqing nodded in agreement and reported the truth to Lord Zhang.

Because her case was indeed settled, Liu Yunqing only sued Yu Lian, and once Yu Lian was sentenced, her case was closed, so Lord Zhang allowed them to leave first.

He didn't think anything of it when he was arguing with others before, but when he really had to leave, Liu Yunqing couldn't get up.

She knelt for an hour and a half, her legs were sore and numb, and Qi couldn't lift her up by herself.

It was only after Mr. Zhao asked Mao'er to come forward and lend a hand that Liu Yunqing was able to stand up with difficulty.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao. Once I have settled my current troubles, I will come to your house in person to thank you for saving my life."

I don't know what touched Mr. Zhao's nerve, but he seemed unhappy again. He just nodded slightly and left with Mao'er.

The sun rose, the case was almost over, and many of the people who had been gathered nearby left, and the street finally became unobstructed.

Zhao Chengyan returned to his carriage. Mao'er presented him with a new folding fan and cautiously looked at her husband's face and said hesitantly.

"Why are you unhappy, my dear? Did you notice something wrong?"

Zhao Chengyan naturally noticed many things that others did not notice.

In order to bring bad luck to her father, Madam Liu made a lot of preparations in advance, and evidence such as account books was naturally indispensable.

In addition, Madam Liu also hired a lot of assistants.

There are always people outside who deliberately take the lead in making a fuss, getting angry, and scolding, forcing you gentlemen to consider how to impose heavy sentences to appease the public anger.

That day, the subordinate followed Madam Liu to Xiaotianshui Alley and most likely did this.

Another thing is that the timing of Wanjin's appearance was too coincidental. He didn't believe that it was a street cat that broke his blood jade.

But these are not the most important things. Madam Liu is so meticulous that he only admires her instead of being unhappy.

What made him unhappy was the moment of contact when he tried to save Madam Liu.

Not only did he smell the same faint fragrance on the person as his own, but when the person raised his hand to resist, he also saw the gold bead necklace that he had personally put on Tuan'er.

He took off the pearl necklace he had brought for Tuan'er before giving the little one a bath. Last night, Tuan'er was so soft-hearted and considerate, so he picked out a new one for her to wear after coaxing her to sleep.

I was also afraid that if I gave her something too expensive, it would attract the covetousness of bad people outside, and it would be bad if it hurt Tuan'er.

She asked the skillful servant in the mansion to weave a simple necklace with gold thread and colorful rope, and inlay some beautiful little beads that were not worth much silver.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Liu would be so rude and even want to take the cat's collar for herself.

Or maybe Tuan'er was really generous and gave her necklace to Madam Liu.

Anyway, no matter which possibility it was, it made him feel unhappy.

What did Madam Liu do to make Tuan'er so close to her?

Tuan'er can only be close to him!

"I remember that the soap beads were made specifically for me, but some merchant sold them somewhere else for profit?"

This question confused Mao'er: "No."

"The things you use are always prepared by someone at your house. All the materials are from our house. No one outside can imitate them exactly."
